             Note From the Director, Legislative Operations

    This committee print consists of the enrolled text and 
explanatory material for the James M. Inhofe National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (H.R. 7776; Public Law 
117-263).
    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 H.R. 7900, the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2023 as passed by the House of Representatives 
on July 14, 2022, and Senate amendment 5499, as modified, to 
H.R. 7900 as proposed by Chairman Jack Reed on October 11, 
2022. Senate amendment 5499, as modified, was in the form of an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 7900 and 
consisted of the text of S. 4543, the James M. Inhofe National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 as reported by 
the Senate Committee on Armed Services on July 18, 2022, as 
well as a number of amendments that were submitted for 
consideration during the Senate's consideration of its bill 
that were cleared by both sides. The Senate began consideration 
of Senate amendment 5499, as modified, on October 11, 2022, but 
did not complete consideration 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. 7900 and 
Senate amendment 5499, as modified. The negotiated agreement 
was brought to the House Floor in the form of a House amendment 
to the Senate amendment to H.R. 7776. On December 8, 2022, 
pursuant to the provisions of H. Res. 1512, the House agreed to 
the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 7776 by the 
yeas and nays, 350-80 (Roll no. 516). On December 15, 2022, the 
Senate agreed to the House amendment to the Senate amendment to 
H.R. 7776 by a vote of 83-11 (Record Vote Number: 396). The 
President signed the legislation on December 23, 2022, and it 
became Public Law 117-263.
    Because the agreed-upon language was brought to the House 
in the form of a House amendment to the Senate amendment to 
H.R. 7776, there is no conference report and no formal ``joint 
explanatory statement of the conference committee'' for H.R. 
7776. Instead, Chairman Adam Smith submitted a ``Joint 
Explanatory Statement to Accompany H.R. 7776, the James M. 
Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2023'' in the Congressional Record on December 8, 2022 (pages 
H9425-H9648). The text of the joint explanatory statement is 
included in this committee print. Section 5 of H.R. 7776 
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. 7900, the 
House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2023, are generally referred to as ``the House 
bill.'' The provisions of Senate amendment 5499, as modified, 
to H.R. 7900 are generally referred to as ``the Senate 
amendment.'' 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.

        departure airports at which a pilot program has been 
        established in accordance with this section, the 
        Administrator shall ensure that passengers and their 
        property arriving from such airports are re-screened in 
        the United States, including by using explosives 
        detection systems in accordance with section

        passengers and their property are permitted into 
        sterile areas of airports in the United States.
          (2) Consultation.--If the Administrator has 
        reasonable grounds to believe the other party to an 
        aviation security screening agreement has not complied 
        with such agreement, the Administrator shall request 
        immediate consultation with such party.
          (3) Suspension or termination of agreement.--If a 
        satisfactory resolution between TSA and a foreign 
        country is not reached within 45 days after a 
        consultation request under paragraph (2) or in the case 
        of the foreign country's continued or egregious failure 
        to maintain the security standards and protocols 
        described in paragraph (1), the President, or with the 
        concurrence of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
        Homeland Security or the Administrator, as appropriate, 
        shall suspend or terminate the aviation security

        notify the appropriate congressional committees of such 
        consultation and suspension or termination, as the case 
        may be, not later than seven days after such 
        consultation and suspension or termination.

SEC. 8101. FEDERAL BREAKWATERS AND JETTIES.

  (a) In General.--In carrying out repair or maintenance 
activity of a Federal jetty or breakwater associated with an 
authorized navigation project, the Secretary shall, 
notwithstanding the authorized dimensions of the jetty or 
breakwater, ensure that such repair or maintenance activity is 
sufficient to meet the authorized purpose of such project, 
including ensuring that any harbor or inland harbor associated 
with the project is protected from projected changes in wave 
action or height (including changes that result from relative 
sea level change over the useful life of the project).
  (b) Classification of Activity.--The Secretary may not 
classify any repair or maintenance activity of a Federal jetty 
or breakwater carried out under subsection (a) as major 
rehabilitation of such jetty or breakwater--
          (1) if the Secretary determines that--
                  (A) projected changes in wave action or 
                height, including changes that result from 
                relative sea level change, will diminish the 
                functionality of the jetty or breakwater to 
                meet the authorized purpose of the project; and
                  (B) such repair or maintenance activity is 
                necessary to restore such functionality; or
          (2) if--
                  (A) the Secretary has not carried out regular 
                and routine Federal maintenance activity at the 
                jetty or breakwater; and
                  (B) the structural integrity of the jetty or 
                breakwater is degraded as a result of a lack of 
                such regular and routine Federal maintenance 
                activity.

SEC. 8102. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO NATURAL DISASTERS.

restoration of any federally authorized hurricane or shore 
protective structure or project damaged or destroyed by wind, 
wave, or water action of other than an ordinary nature to the 
pre-storm level of protection, to the design level of 
protection, or, notwithstanding the authorized dimensions of 
the structure or project, to a level sufficient to meet the 
authorized purpose of such structure or project, whichever 
provides greater protection, when, in the discretion of the 
Chief of Engineers, such repair and restoration is warranted 
for the adequate functioning of the structure or project for 
hurricane or shore protection, including to ensure the 
structure or project is functioning adequately to protect 
against projected changes in wave action or height or storm 
surge (including changes that result from relative sea level 
change over the useful life of the structure or project), 
subject to the condition that the Chief of Engineers may, if 
requested by the non-Federal sponsor, include modifications to 
the structure or project (including the addition of new project 
features) to address major deficiencies, increase resilience, 
increase benefits from the reduction of damages from 
inundation, wave action, or erosion, or implement nonstructural 
alternatives to the repair or restoration of the structure.''.
  (b) Great Lakes Advance Measures Assistance.--
          (1) In general.--The Secretary shall not deny a 
        request from the Governor of a Great Lakes State to 
        provide advance measures assistance pursuant to section 
        5(a) of the Act of August 18, 1941 (33 U.S.C. 701n(a)) 
        to reduce the risk of damage from rising water levels 
        in the Great Lakes solely on the basis that the damage 
        is caused by erosion.
          (2) Federal share.--Assistance provided by the 
        Secretary pursuant to a request described in paragraph 
        (1) shall be at Federal expense if the assistance is

SEC. 8237. ASSESSMENT OF FOREST, RANGELAND, AND WATERSHED RESTORATION 
                    SERVICES ON LANDS OWNED BY THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS.

  (a) In General.--The Secretary shall carry out an assessment 
of forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration services on 
lands owned by the Corps of Engineers, including an assessment 
of whether the provision of such services on such lands by non-
Federal interests through good neighbor agreements would be in 
the best interests of the United States.
  (b) Considerations.--In carrying out the assessment under 
subsection (a), the Secretary shall--
          (1) describe the forest, rangeland, and watershed 
        restoration services provided by the Secretary on lands 
        owned by the Corps of Engineers;
          (2) assess whether such services, including efforts 
        to reduce hazardous fuels and to restore and improve 
        forest, rangeland, and watershed health (including the 
        health of fish and wildlife habitats) would be enhanced 
        by authorizing the Secretary to enter into a good 
        neighbor agreement with a non-Federal interest;
          (3) describe the process for ensuring that Federal 
        requirements for land management plans for forests on 
        lands owned by the Corps of Engineers remain in effect 
        under good neighbor agreements;
          (4) assess whether Congress should authorize the 
        Secretary to enter into a good neighbor agreement with 
        a non-Federal interest to provide forest, rangeland, 
        and watershed restoration services on lands owned by 
        the Corps of Engineers, including by assessing any 
        interest expressed by a non-Federal interest to enter 
        into such an agreement;
          (5) consider whether implementation of a good 
        neighbor agreement on lands owned by the Corps of 
        Engineers would benefit State and local governments and 
        Indian Tribes that are located in the same geographic 
        area as such lands; and
          (6) consult with the heads of other Federal agencies 
        authorized to enter into good neighbor agreements with 
        non-Federal interests.
  (c) Report to Congress.--Not later than 18 months after the 
date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall submit 
to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and 
Public Works of the Senate, and make publicly available 
(including on a publicly available website), a report 
describing the results of the assessment carried out under 
subsection (a).
  (d) Definitions.--In this section:
          (1) Forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration 
        services.--The term ``forest, rangeland, and watershed 
        restoration services'' has the meaning given such term

          (2) Good neighbor agreement.--The term ``good 
        neighbor agreement'' means a cooperative agreement or 
        contract (including a sole source contract) entered 
        into between the Secretary and a non-Federal interest 
        to carry out forest, rangeland, and watershed 
        restoration services.
          (3) Lands owned by the corps of engineers.--The term 
        ``lands owned by the Corps of Engineers'' means any 
        land owned by the Corps of Engineers, but does not

        being elevated to a bureau within the Department; or
          (2) the Special Representative for Subnational 
        Diplomacy from being elevated to an Assistant Secretary

                        program that offers compensation would 
                        not be consistent with effective 
                        management goals; and
                          (ii)(I) provide justification for 
                        maintaining such unpaid status

SEC. 9301. AMENDMENTS TO SECURE EMBASSY CONSTRUCTION AND 
                    COUNTERTERRORISM ACT OF 1999.

  (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Secure 
Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 2022''.
  (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The Secure Embassy Construction and 
        Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (title VI of division A of 
        appendix G of Public Law 106-113) was a necessary 
        response to bombings on August 7, 1998, at the United 
        States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar es 
        Salaam, Tanzania, that were destroyed by simultaneously 
        exploding bombs. The resulting explosions killed 220 
        persons and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve 
        Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian employees of the 
        United States Foreign Service were killed in the 
        attacks.
          (2) Those bombings, followed by the expeditionary 
        diplomatic efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, 
        demonstrated the need to prioritize the security of 
        United States posts and personnel abroad above other 
        considerations.
          (3) Between 1999 and 2022, the risk calculus of the 
        Department impacted the ability of United States 
        diplomats around the world to advance the interests of 
        the United States through access to local populations, 
        leaders, and places.
          (4) America's competitors and adversaries do not have 
        the same restrictions that United States diplomats 
        have, especially in critically important medium-threat 
        and high-threat posts.
          (5) The Department's 2021 Overseas Security Panel 
        report states that--
                  (A) the requirement for setback and 
                collocation of diplomatic posts under 
                paragraphs (2) and (3) of section 606(a) of the 
                Secure Embassy Construction and 
                Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 
                4865(a)) has led to skyrocketing costs of new 
                embassies and consulates; and
                  (B) the locations of such posts have become 
                less desirable, creating an extremely 
                suboptimal nexus that further hinders United 
                States diplomats who are willing to accept more 
                risk in order to advance United States 
                interests.
  (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the setback and collocation requirements referred 
        to in subsection (b)(5)(A), even with available 
        waivers, no longer provide the security such 
        requirements used to provide because of advancement in 
        technologies, such as remote controlled drones, that 
        can evade walls and other such static barriers;
          (2) the Department should focus on creating 
        performance security standards that--
                  (A) attempt to keep the setback requirements 
                of diplomatic posts as limited as possible; and
                  (B) provide diplomats access to local 
                populations as much as possible, while still 
                providing a necessary level of security;
          (3) collocation of diplomatic facilities is often not 
        feasible or advisable, particularly for public 
        diplomacy spaces whose mission is to reach and be 
        accessible to wide sectors of the public, including in 
        countries with repressive governments, since such 
        spaces are required to permit the foreign public to 
        enter and exit the space easily and openly;
          (4) the Bureau of Diplomatic Security should--
                  (A) fully utilize the waiver process provided 
                under paragraphs (2)(B) and (3)(B) of section 
                606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
                Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 
                4865(a)); and
                  (B) appropriately exercise such waiver 
                process as a tool to right-size the appropriate 
                security footing at each diplomatic post rather 
                than only approving waivers in extreme 
                circumstances;
          (5) the return of great power competition requires--
                  (A) United States diplomats to do all they 
                can to outperform our adversaries; and
                  (B) the Department to better optimize use of 
                taxpayer funding to advance United States 
                national interests; and
          (6) this section will better enable United States 
        diplomats to compete in the 21st century, while saving 
        United States taxpayers millions in reduced property 
        and maintenance costs at embassies and consulates 
        abroad.
  (d) Definition of United States Diplomatic Facility.--Section 
603 of the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act 
of 1999 (title VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 
106-113) is amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 603. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

  ``In this title, the terms `United States diplomatic 
facility' and `diplomatic facility' mean any chancery, 
consulate, or other office that--
          ``(1) is considered by the Secretary of State to be 
        diplomatic or consular premises, consistent with the 
        Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, done at 
        Vienna April 18, 1961, and the Vienna Convention on 
        Consular Relations, done at Vienna April 24, 1963, and 
        was notified to the host government as such; or
          ``(2) is otherwise subject to a publicly available 
        bilateral agreement with the host government (contained 
        in the records of the United States Department of 
        State) that recognizes the official status of the 
        United States Government personnel present at the 
        facility.''.
  (e) Guidance and Requirements for Diplomatic Facilities.--
          (1) Guidance for closure of public diplomacy 
        facilities.--Section 5606(a) of the Public Diplomacy 
        Modernization Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-81; 22 U.S.C. 
        1475g note) is amended to read as follows:
  ``(a) In General.--In order to preserve public diplomacy 
facilities that are accessible to the publics of foreign 
countries, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
Counterterrorism Act of 2022, the Secretary of State shall 
adopt guidelines to collect and utilize information from each 
diplomatic post at which the construction of a new embassy 
compound or new consulate compound could result in the closure 
or co-location of an American Space that is owned and operated 
by the United States Government, generally known as an American 
Center, or any other public diplomacy facility under the Secure 
Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 
U.S.C. 4865 et seq.).''.
          (2) Security requirements for united states 
        diplomatic facilities.--Section 606(a) of the Secure 
        Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 
        (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) is amended--
                  (A) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking ``the 
                threat'' and inserting ``a range of threats,

                                or category of facility that 
                                the Secretary may identify''

                                  (I) by amending clause (i) to

                        consultation with, as appropriate, the

                        the national interest of the United 
                        States after taking account of any 
                        considerations the Secretary in his or 
                        her discretion considers relevant,

                        conditions.''; and

SEC. 9302. DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT AND SECURITY.

  (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
``Diplomatic Support and Security Act of 2022''.
  (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) A robust overseas diplomatic presence is part of 
        an effective foreign policy, particularly in volatile 
        environments where a flexible and timely diplomatic 
        response can be decisive in preventing and addressing 
        conflict.
          (2) Diplomats routinely put themselves and their 
        families at great personal risk to serve their country 
        overseas where they face threats related to 
        international terrorism, violent conflict, and public 
        health.
          (3) The Department has a remarkable record of 
        protecting personnel while enabling an enormous amount 
        of global diplomatic activity, often in unsecure and 
        remote places and facing a variety of evolving risks 
        and threats. With support from Congress, the Department 
        has revised policy, improved physical security through 
        retrofitting and replacing old facilities, deployed 
        additional security personnel and armored vehicles, and 
        greatly enhanced training requirements and training 
        facilities, including the new Foreign Affairs Security 
        Training Center in Blackstone, Virginia.
          (4) Diplomatic missions rely on robust staffing and 
        ambitious external engagement to advance United States 
        interests as diverse as competing with China's malign 
        influence around the world, fighting terrorism and 
        transnational organized crime, preventing and 
        addressing violent conflict and humanitarian disasters, 
        promoting United States businesses and trade, 
        protecting the rights of marginalized groups, 
        addressing climate change, and preventing pandemic 
        disease.
          (5) Efforts to protect personnel overseas have often 
        resulted in inhibiting diplomatic activity and limiting 
        engagement between embassy personnel and local 
        governments and populations.
          (6) Given that Congress currently provides annual 
        appropriations in excess of $1,900,000,000 for embassy 
        security, construction, and maintenance, the Department 
        should be able to ensure a robust overseas presence 
        without inhibiting the ability of diplomats to--
                  (A) meet outside United States secured 
                facilities with foreign leaders to explain, 
                defend, and advance United States priorities;
                  (B) understand and report on foreign 
                political, social, and economic conditions 
                through meeting and interacting with community 
                officials outside of United States facilities;
                  (C) provide United States citizen services; 
                and
                  (D) collaborate and, at times, compete with 
                other diplomatic missions, particularly those, 
                such as that of the People's Republic of China, 
                that do not have restrictions on meeting 
                locations.
          (7) Given these stakes, Congress has a responsibility 
        to empower, support, and hold the Department 
        accountable for implementing an aggressive strategy to 
        ensure a robust overseas presence that mitigates 
        potential risks and adequately considers the myriad 
        direct and indirect consequences of a lack of 
        diplomatic presence.
  (c) Encouraging Expeditionary Diplomacy.--
          (1) Purpose.--Section 102(b) of the Diplomatic 
        Security Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4801(b)) is amended--
                  (A) by amending paragraph (3) to read as 
                follows:
          ``(3) to promote strengthened security measures,

SEC. 9303. ESTABLISHMENT OF UNITED STATES EMBASSIES IN SOLOMON ISLANDS, 
                    KIRIBATI, AND TONGA AND A DIPLOMATIC PRESENCE IN 
                    VANUATU.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The Pacific Islands are vital to United States 
        national security and national interests in the Indo-
        Pacific region and globally.
          (2) The Pacific Islands region spans 15 percent of 
        the world's surface area and controls access to open 
        waters in the Central Pacific, sea lanes to the Western 
        Hemisphere, supply lines to United States forward-
        deployed forces in East Asia, and economically 
        important fisheries.
          (3) The Pacific Islands region is home to the State 
        of Hawaii, 11 United States territories, United States 
        Naval Base Guam, and United States Andersen Air Force 
        Base.
          (4) Pacific Island countries cooperate with the 
        United States and United States partners on maritime 
        security and efforts to stop illegal, unreported, and 
        destructive fishing.
          (5) The Pacific Islands are rich in biodiversity and 
        are on the frontlines of environmental challenges and 
        climate issues.
          (6) The People's Republic of China seeks to increase 
        its influence in the Pacific Islands region, including 
        through infrastructure development under the People's 
        Republic of China's One Belt, One Road Initiative and 
        its new security agreement with the Solomon Islands.
          (7) The United States closed its embassy in the 
        Solomon Islands in 1993.
          (8) The United States Embassy in Papua New Guinea 
        manages the diplomatic affairs of the United States to 
        the Republic of Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands, and 
        the United States Embassy in Fiji manages the 
        diplomatic affairs of the United States to the Republic 
        of Kiribati and the Kingdom of Tonga.
          (9) The United States requires a physical and more 
        robust diplomatic presence in the Republic of Vanuatu, 
        the Republic of Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, and the 
        Kingdom of Tonga, to ensure the physical and 
        operational security of our efforts in those countries 
        to deepen relations, protect United States national 
        security, and pursue United States national interests.
          (10) Increasing the number of United States embassies 
        dedicated solely to a Pacific Island country 
        demonstrates the United States' ongoing commitment to 
        the region and to the Pacific Island countries.
  (b) Establishment of Embassies.--
          (1) In general.--As soon as possible, the Secretary 
        should--
                  (A) establish physical United States 
                embassies in the Republic of Kiribati and in 
                the Kingdom of Tonga;
                  (B) upgrade the United States consular agency 
                in the Solomon Islands to an embassy; and
                  (C) establish a physical United States 
                Government presence in the Republic of Vanuatu.
          (2) Other strategies.--

                embassies pursuant to paragraph (1) and 
                creating the physical infrastructure to ensure 
                the physical and operational safety of embassy 
                personnel, the Secretary may pursue rent or 
                purchase existing buildings or co-locate 
                personnel in embassies of like-minded partners, 
                such as Australia and New Zealand.
                  (B) Personnel.--In establishing a physical 
                presence in the Republic of Vanuatu pursuant to 
                paragraph (1), the Secretary may assign 1 or 
                more United States Government personnel to the 
                Republic of Vanuatu as part of the United 
                States mission in Papua New Guinea.
          (3) Waiver authority.--The President may waive the 
        requirements under paragraph (1) for a period of one 
        year if the President determines and reports to 
        Congress in advance that such waiver is necessary to 
        protect the national security interests of the United 
        States.
  (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--Of the amounts 
authorized to be appropriated to the Department of State for

          (1) in subparagraph (D), by striking ``and'' at the 
        end;

of--

                 TITLE CII--REGIONAL OCEAN PARTNERSHIPS

SEC. 10201. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The ocean and coastal waters and the Great Lakes 
        of the United States are foundational to the economy, 
        security, global competitiveness, and well-being of the 
        United States and continuously serve the people of the 
        United States and other countries as an important 
        source of food, energy, economic productivity, 
        recreation, beauty, and enjoyment.
          (2) Over many years, the resource productivity and 
        water quality of the ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes 
        areas of the United States have been diminished by 
        pollution, increasing population demands, economic 
        development, and natural and man-made hazard events, 
        both acute and chronic.
          (3) The ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas of the 
        United States are managed by State and Federal resource 
        agencies and Indian Tribes and regulated on an 
        interstate and regional scale by various overlapping 
        Federal authorities, thereby creating a significant 
        need for interstate coordination to enhance regional 
        priorities, including the ecological and economic 
        health of those areas.
          (4) Indian Tribes have unique expertise and knowledge 
        important for the stewardship of the ocean and coastal 
        waters and the Great Lakes of the United States.
  (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
          (1) To complement and expand cooperative voluntary 
        efforts intended to manage, conserve, and restore 
        ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas spanning across 
        multiple State and Indian Tribe jurisdictions.
          (2) To expand Federal support for monitoring, data 
        management, restoration, research, and conservation 
        activities in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas.
          (3) To commit the United States to a comprehensive 
        cooperative program to achieve improved water quality 
        in, and improvements in the productivity of living 
        resources of, oceans, coastal, and Great Lakes 
        ecosystems.
          (4) To authorize Regional Ocean Partnerships as 
        intergovernmental coordinators for shared regional 
        priorities among States and Indian Tribes relating to 
        the collaborative management of the large marine 
        ecosystems, thereby reducing duplication of efforts and 
        maximizing opportunities to leverage support in the 
        ocean and coastal regions.
          (5) To empower States to take a lead role in managing 
        oceans, coastal, and Great Lakes areas.
          (6) To incorporate rights of Indian Tribes in the 
        management of oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes resources 
        and provide resources to support Indian Tribe 
        participation in and engagement with Regional Ocean 
        Partnerships.
          (7) To enable Regional Ocean Partnerships, or 
        designated fiscal management entities of such 
        partnerships, to receive Federal funding to conduct the 
        scientific research, conservation, and restoration 
        activities, and priority coordination on shared 
        regional priorities necessary to achieve the purposes 
        described in paragraphs (1) through (6).

                 TITLE CIII--NATIONAL OCEAN EXPLORATION

SEC. 10301. FINDINGS.

  Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The health and resilience of the ocean are vital 
        to the security and economy of the United States and to 
        the lives of the people of the United States.
          (2) The United States depends on the ocean to 
        regulate weather and climate, to sustain and protect 
        the diversity of life, for maritime shipping, for 
        national defense, and for food, energy, medicine, 
        recreation, and other services essential to the people 
        of the United States and all humankind.
          (3) The prosperity, security, and well-being of the 
        United States depend on successful understanding and 
        stewardship of the ocean.
          (4) Interdisciplinary cooperation and engagement 
        among government agencies, research institutions, 
        nongovernmental organizations, States, Indian Tribes, 
        and the private sector are essential for successful 
        stewardship of ocean and coastal environments, national 
        economic growth, national security, and development of 
        agile strategies that develop, promote, and use new 
        technologies.
          (5) Ocean exploration can help the people of the 
        United States understand how to be effective stewards 
        of the ocean and serve as catalysts and enablers for 
        other sectors of the economy.
          (6) Mapping, exploration, and characterization of the 
        ocean provides basic, essential information to protect 
        and restore the marine environment, stimulate economic 
        activity, and provide security for the United States.
          (7) A robust national ocean exploration program 
        engaging multiple Federal agencies, Indian Tribes, the 
        private sector, nongovernmental organizations, and 
        academia is--
                  (A) essential to the interests of the United 
                States and vital to its security and economy 
                and the health and well-being of all people of 
                the United States; and
                  (B) critical to reestablish the United States 
                at the forefront of global ocean exploration 
                and stewardship.

        owners and operators to assist with accurately 
        calculating and measuring the performance and viability 
        of proposed alternatives to national planning criteria 
        requirements and Area Contingency Plans administered by 
        the Coast Guard;
          (3) to improve training of Coast Guard personnel to 
        ensure continuity of planning activities under this 
        section, including by identifying ways in which 
        civilian staffing may improve the continuity of 
        operations; and
          (4) to increase Federal Government engagement with 
        State, local, and Tribal governments and stakeholders 
        so as to strengthen coordination and efficiency of oil 
        spill responses.

                care for children with disabilities, and any 
                other child care delivery method the Commandant 
                considers appropriate.

                        members and employees with nonstandard 
                        work hours; and
                          (iii) ensure a safe environment for 
                        dependents of such members and 
                        employees.

 JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO ACCOMPANY THE JAMES M. INHOFE NATIONAL

Accompany H.R. 7776, the James M. Inhofe National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, as printed in the 
Congressional Record on December 8, 2022]
    The following consists of the explanatory material to 
accompany the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2023.
    Section 5 of the Act specifies that this explanatory 
statement 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 joint explanatory statement, the provisions of H.R. 
7900, the House-passed version of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, are generally referred 
to as ``the House bill''. The provisions of Senate amendment 
No. 5499, as modified, to H.R. 7900, are generally referred to 
as ``the Senate amendment''. The final form of the agreements 
reached during negotiations between the House and the Senate 
are referred to as ``the agreement''.
Disclosure of earmarks and congressionally directed spending items
    Although not required by the Rules of the House of 
Representatives, the explanatory statement includes a table 
that discloses congressional earmarks as defined in paragraph 
(e) of clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives that are contained in the bill at the request 
of a Member of the House of Representatives. Neither the bill 
nor the explanatory statement contain any limited tax benefits 
or limited tariff benefits as defined in paragraphs (f) or (g) 
of clause 9 of rule XXI.
Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget authority 
        implication
    The budget request for national defense discretionary 
programs within the jurisdiction of the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives for 
fiscal year 2023 was $802.4 billion. Of this amount, $772.5 
billion was requested for Department of Defense programs, $29.5 
billion was requested for national security programs in the 
Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 
Board, and $378 million for defense-related activities.
    The agreement would authorize $847.3 billion in fiscal year 
2023, including $816.7 billion for Department of Defense 
programs, $30.3 billion for national security programs in the 
Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 
Board, and $378 million for defense-related activities.
    The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments

summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement and 
the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2023 
defense programs.

state the budgetary effects of this Act for the purpose of 
complying with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (Public 
Law 111-139).
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
4).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          Title I--Procurement

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

Sec. 101--Authorization of appropriations
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) that would 
authorize appropriations for procurement at the levels 
identified in section 4101 of division D of this Act.

                       Subtitle B--Army Programs

Sec. 111--Limitations on production of Extended Range Cannon Artillery 
        howitzers
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) that 
would require the post-prototype production strategy for 
Extended Range Cannon Artillery howitzers to be based on a full 
and open competitive approach that considers the comparative 
cost and value of a new-build versus Paladin-modification 
production approach. The provision would require the Secretary 
of the Army to certify compliance of the acquisition strategy 
and provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees 
prior to issuing Request for Proposals for post-prototype 
procurement.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
clarifying amendment.

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs

Sec. 121--Requirements relating to EA-18G aircraft of the Navy
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that would 
require the Secretary of the Navy to maintain a minimum 
quantity of EA-18G aircraft capabilities to meet certain 
requirements.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
129) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to retain all 
EA-18G aircraft, transfer EA-18G aircraft in expeditionary 
squadrons to the Navy Reserve, and establish joint service 
expeditionary, land-based electronic attack squadrons with the 
Air National Guard or Air Force Reserves.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
maintain the EA-18G fleet through fiscal year 2027, and, 
jointly with the Secretary of the Air Force, submit a report 
within 180 days of enactment of this Act on a strategy and 
execution plan to continuously and effectively meet airborne 
electronic attack training and combat employment requirements 
of the joint force. The strategy and execution plan shall, at a 
minimum, include the establishment or continuation of one or 
more joint service expeditionary, land-based electronic attack 
squadrons to equal or exceed the capacity and capability of 
such squadrons at currently existing basing locations. The plan 
should comprise integration and utilization of both reserve and 
active-duty component forces and resources within both military 
departments.
Sec. 122--Navy shipbuilding workforce development special incentive
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 126) that 
would establish a Navy shipbuilding workforce development 
initiative.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that retitles the initiative as a special incentive 
for workforce development, modifies the minimum amount for 
special incentive funding, provides waiver authority to the 
Secretary of the Navy, and expands the list of entities 
authorized to participate.
    We believe that expanded incentives and investments in 
workforce development, including through leveraging existing 
programs established by local workforce development boards, 
will have the potential to increase capacity, effectiveness, 
and efficiency across all Navy new construction shipyards. 
These incentives and investments should focus not only on 
recruiting and training new workers, but also on retaining the 
existing workforce as a means to grow all experience-levels 
across these shipyards.
Sec. 123--Extension of prohibition on availability of funds for Navy 
        port waterborne security barriers
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 127) that 
would extend the prohibition on availability of funds for 
purchasing Navy waterborne security barriers.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Sec. 124--Limitation on authority to modify capabilities and fleet 
        configuration of E-6B aircraft
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 128) that 
would prohibit the Secretary of the Navy from taking any action 
that would prevent the Navy from maintaining the fleet of E-6B 
aircraft in the configuration and capability in effect as of 
the date of the enactment of this Act, until the date on which 
the Chair of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council certifies 
in writing to the congressional defense committees that the 
replacement capability for the E-6B would be fielded at the 
same time or before the retirement of the E-6B, and would 
result in equal or greater capability available to the 
commanders of the combatant commands.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would add an exception.
Sec. 125--Multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh Burke class 
        destroyers
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 112) that would 
provide multiyear procurement authority for up to 15 Flight III 
Arleigh Burke class destroyers. The House bill also contained a 
provision (sec. 113) that would authorize the procurement of an 
additional Arleigh Burke class destroyer and the use of 
incremental funding for such contract.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 122) that 
would also provide multiyear procurement authority for up to 15 
Flight III Arleigh Burke class destroyers.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would: (1) Prevent the Secretary of the Navy 
from modifying a contract if the modification would increase 
the target price of the destroyer by more than 10 percent above 
the target price; and (2) Require the Secretary of the Navy to 
ensure that one or more of the contracts includes pre-priced 
option ships, such that the sum of the base quantity of ships 
plus the pre-priced options ships is equal to 15 destroyers.
    We believe that the DDG Flight III destroyer is the most 
capable large surface combatant in the worldwide inventory of 
the Department of Defense, recognize that the Department plans 
to retire 18 large surface combatants over the next 5 years and 
yet procure only 9 new large surface combatants during the same 
period, and urge the Department to maximize savings and provide 
stability to the large surface combatant industrial base 
through the use of multiyear procurement contracts for the 
maximum number of ships authorized by this provision.
Sec. 126--Procurement authority for Ship-to-Shore Connector program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 114) that would 
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or more 
contracts for up to 25 Ship-to-Shore Connector craft and 
associated equipment.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
123) that would authorize one or more block buy contracts for 
up to 10 Ship-to-Shore Connector craft and specify certain 
certifications required for entry into such contracts.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would modify the number of Ship-to-Shore 
Connector craft that the Secretary of the Navy may enter into 
contracts for to up to 25.
Sec. 127--Procurement authority for CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter 
        program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 115) that would 
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one contract 
for procurement of up to 30 CH-53K helicopters and one contract 
for procurement of up to 90 engines for the CH-53K during 
fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

technical amendment.

        replenishment oiler ships

Lewis-class fleet replenishment oiler ships.

    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Sec. 129--Procurement authorities for certain amphibious shipbuilding 
        programs

                              BUDGET ITEMS

Future Air Force Integrated Technology Demos
    In section 4201 of division D of the House bill, the Future 
Air Force Integrated Technology Demos line (Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation Air Force, line 16) contained 
a decrease of $15.0 million for insufficient justification.

Integrated Technology Demos line by $50.0 million.
    We note that several U.S. Air Force programs are funded 
under this line, including the three Air Force Vanguard 
programs: Golden Horde, Skyborg, and the Navigation Technology 
Satellite-3 (NTS-3) program. There remains concern about how 
the Air Force is planning, budgeting, and executing their 
Vanguard Programs, and therefore, the Air Force is directed to 
submit with their Fiscal Year 2024 budget request detailed 
funding information, including future year funding details and 
plans, for these programs. We are also concerned that these 
large efforts have been funded out of a generally flat top-line 
budget for science and technology funds within the Air Force, 
effectively reducing other science and technology efforts at 
the expense of the Vanguard programs. Additionally, consistent 
with previously expressed views of the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the 
U.S. Air Force is encouraged to avoid applying this general 
reduction to programs that are approaching critical milestones, 
such as the NTS-3 program.

    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note and support the Army's technology research and 
development efforts oriented on next generation systems based 
on open architectures and either control of intellectual 
property or technical data rights. This is particularly 
apparent in the Army's interest in artificial intelligence, 
machine learning, and operator machine interfaces for robotic 
or optionally manned systems. We are aware of the Army's 
efforts and progress over the years with common controllers or 
interfaces and common operating software for tactical robotic 
technologies for which the operator and machine interfaces are 
critically important. We are also aware that there is 
significant commercial interest in operator machine interfaces 
for a variety of technologies. We are interested to learn if 
there are military application opportunities for technical 
improvement and cost savings related to leveraging existing 
commercial investment and capability in operator machine 
interface technology.
    Accordingly, we direct the Assistant Secretary of the Army 
for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to submit a report 
not later than April 30, 2023, to the congressional defense 
committees on the results of a market survey to identify

transition of Radio Occultation from an emerging research and 
development field to one that can be viewed as a commercially, 
operationally, and scientifically viable technology. Given the 
maturity of this technology and its commercial viability to 
purchase data from existing satellite platforms, we encourage 
the Department of the Air Force to budget for the future year's 
acquisition of such data through Operations and Maintenance 
accounts on a predictable basis so it can be widely used across 
the entire Department of Defense.

861).
    The agreement does not include these provisions.
    We recognize that the Department is making strides in 
engaging academia and industry to develop, mature, and deploy 
critical emerging technologies to support Department of Defense 
warfighters. While many of the funding tools necessary to make 
the innovation ecosystem work effectively for both the 
Department and the private sector exist, coordination and 
synchronization to effectively leverage these mechanisms is 
still a challenge. However, state-directed capital investment 
by China into defense-relevant technologies continues to dwarf 
similar capital flows by U.S. companies. Additional mechanisms 
to encourage private capital investment in the defense 
ecosystem are necessary, particularly given the desire of U.S. 
capital investors to engage in this sector. The Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
have been committed to finding innovative ways to involve 
private capital at the Department to accelerate the delivery of 
capability to the warfighter at lower cost, including through 
versions of these provisions.
    However, efforts to leverage private capital in the defense 
ecosystem implicate Congressional Budget Office (CBO) rules 
with regard to third-party financing of Federal projects. While 
we believe that versions of these provisions create no cost or 
liability for the U.S. government, we are unable to include 
them in the agreement due to CBO's determination that these 
technologies would be ``under a significant degree of federal 
control'' and thus increase direct spending.
    We look forward to continued discussion with all 
stakeholders of further attempts to leverage private capital 
for national security purposes.
Funding for development of measures to prevent infections caused by

Plan for Test Resources, as prepared by the Department of 
Defense's Test Resource Management Center.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We remain concerned about the adequacy of current and 
forecast levels of investment into Department of Defense test 
and evaluation resources, including personnel, infrastructure, 
and equipment, and in particular with regards to software-
intensive, multi-domain, and continuously developed 
capabilities. We believe the test and evaluation enterprise to 
be fundamental to the Department's ability to deliver needed 
capability to the joint force, and note that current planning 
constructs may not be adequate to meet the dynamic needs of 
future capabilities. We encourage robust support for test and 
evaluation (T&E) efforts in future budget submissions, and 
direct the Test Resource Management Center to use the biennial 
Strategic Plan for Department of Defense T&E resources to 
provide a narrative link between the long-term requirements and 
the shorter-term resource allocations needed to achieve a 
desired future state for the T&E enterprise.

    We encourage the Department to take on more measured risk 
in its research and development portfolio. Specifically, we 
note that the Department does not adhere to the best practice 
of grouping research and development efforts into either 
incremental or disruptive efforts. Absent adoption and 
implementation of this practice, the Department lacks 
visibility into the balance of risk versus payoff, especially 
with regard to the potential for its research and development 
efforts to provide the cutting edge technology needed to combat 
future and emerging threats.
    By July 31, 2023, we direct the Under Secretary of Research 
and Engineering to provide the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives with a briefing on 
how the Department assesses, manages, and balances risk within

amend chapter 134 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize

amendment that is consistent with previous Congressional intent 
that military service academy graduates who meet commissioning 
standards serve at least 2 years of their active duty service 
obligation prior to pursuing a career as a professional 
athlete.
    We note that congressional intent regarding military 
service academy graduates participating in professional 
athletics is clear. The National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) and the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) both 
established the principle that service academy graduates must 
serve for 2 years on Active Duty before affiliating with the 
reserves to pursue employment as a professional athlete. The 
contorted Department of Defense policy governing academy 
graduates and professional sports deliberately circumvents 
these recent laws. Service academy appointments are a zero sum 
game. Every appointment that goes to a graduate who does not 
complete his or her Active Duty service obligation to pursue 
professional athletics, could have been awarded to many other 
qualified young people who would have happily served their 
country on Active Duty. We hope that the Department will 
finally adhere to this latest reiteration of congressional 
intent.

years.

Code.

condition that required enlisted members be accepted at a rate 
unconstrained by the number of officer applications to the such

effect of this policy change on the lethality of the Armed

specifically focused on military education for cybersecurity 
matters (sec. 558), and create a commission on professional 
military education (sec. 559).

amendment that would, in lieu of establishing the consortiums

the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than December 1, 2025, a report on 
the effectiveness of professional military education of

appraisal of the feasibility and advisability of establishing a 
professional military education consortium.

        military education

National Guard force structure.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We believe no divestiture of any Tactical Control Party

Representatives describing:
          (1) The capability gaps caused by divestiture of 
        Tactical Control Party force structure from the Air 
        National Guard and its impact on the Department of 
        Defense to execute the National Defense Strategy; and
          (2) The impacts of such divestiture to the 
        operational capabilities of the Army to include the

    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the TRICARE basic medical program covers 
infertility diagnosis and treatment for correction of a 
naturally occurring cause of infertility. Assisted reproductive 
technologies and services are available at certain military 
medical treatment facilities, but all costs are borne by the 
beneficiary since non-coital reproductive services are excluded 
by TRICARE regulation. Additionally, since 2012, the Department 
of Defense has provided in-vitro fertilization benefits to 
seriously or severely ill or injured Active-Duty 
servicemembers.
Clarification of coverage of certain areolar nipple tattooing 
        procedures under TRICARE program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would

    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that TRICARE currently provides comprehensive post-
mastectomy breast reconstruction that includes mound 
reconstruction, nipple-areola reconstruction, and nipple/
areolar tattooing.
Temporary requirement for contraception coverage parity under the 
        TRICARE program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure, during the 1-year

the enactment of this Act, a prohibition on the imposition or 
collection of cost-sharing for prescription contraceptives on 
the uniform formulary and provided in either TRICARE's retail 
pharmacy network or mail order pharmacy program. Additionally,

Department of Defense Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration 
program. Therefore, we believe it is premature to enact 
legislation that would make changes to the demonstration 
program before we receive NASEM's report.

    We acknowledge the important role that military and 
civilian firefighters play to provide for the welfare of all 
persons on military installations, and we encourage the 
Department of Defense to ensure that all firefighters can work 
and train in safe environments. We direct the Secretary to 
brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2023, on the

serving on military installations to include civilian 
firefighters who may get their assessments in the private

and procedures for credentialing and privileging physicians in 
the direct care component of the military health system. The 
briefing shall include a description of how a physician's board 
certification status may be considered when making 
credentialing and privileging determinations in military 
medical treatment facilities.
Sleep apnea screening
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 732) that would 
require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs 
to provide a plan to the congressional defense committees for a 
pilot program to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among 
officer accession program candidates.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We received a briefing from the Department of Defense (DOD) 
on sleep apnea waivers for military accessions in response to a 
report requirement in the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-

records of more than a million recruit applicants, and only 48 
individuals were disqualified from service for a sleep-related 
breathing disorder during that period. Moreover, 21 of these 48 
individuals requested a medical accession waiver, with nine 
applicants' waivers approved, and each of them were accessed 
into a military service. These data do not suggest a need to 
conduct a pilot program to screen for OSA in military recruits 
or officer accession candidates. Additionally, we note that the 
American Academy of Sleep Medicine's clinical practice 
guidelines recommend polysomnography or home sleep apnea 
testing for the diagnosis of OSA only in adults presenting with

require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the use 
of qualified alternative therapies, as defined, as alternative 
therapies to prescription opioids in the treatment of 
servicemembers on terminal leave. Study participants would be 
servicemembers diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder 
(PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), or any other condition 
causing severe pain. The provision would require the Secretary 
to monitor such participants at prescribed intervals following 
completion of the study and to submit periodic reports on the 
results of monitoring to the congressional defense committees.

    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a briefing to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of

Pease Air National Guard Base for a significant time, as 
defined by the Secretary, from 1970 through 2020, experience 
higher-than-expected rates of morbidity or mortality from 
cancer as a result of time spent at such bases. The Secretary 
would provide a report on the results of the study to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives within 1 year of the date of the enactment of 
this Act.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Government Accountability Office study on access to Exceptional Family 
        Member program and Extended Care Health Option program by 
        members of reserve components
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 757) that would 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct 
a study on barriers that reserve component members may have 
accessing the Extended Health Option Program and the 
Exceptional Family Member Program of the Department of Defense 
and to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
within 180 days of the date of the enactment of this Act.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the eligibility of reserve component members 
for such programs and to describe how eligible members may 
access the services provided by those programs.
Inclusion of exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
        as component of periodic health assessments
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 761) that would 
require the Secretaries of the military departments and the 
Secretary of Homeland Security, with respect to matters 
concerning the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a 
service in the Department of the Navy, to ensure that health 
assessments of servicemembers include an evaluation of exposure 
to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The provision 
would require the secretaries to provide blood testing, as may 
be required, to determine and document exposure to such 
substances in members' health records. Finally, the provision 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives to track and analyze trends of blood test 
results and to provide annual reports to the same committees 
that summarize blood testing.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that another section of this bill would require the 
Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, to conduct a capability assessment 
of potential improvements to activities of the Department of 
Defense to reduce the effects of environmental exposures to 
servicemembers and to develop an action plan to implement such 
improvements. We also note that the Department of Defense is 
currently conducting research with the Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry to establish appropriate 
standards to assess the value and appropriateness of blood 
testing.
Mandatory training on health effects of perfluoroalkyl or 
        polyfluoroalkyl substances
    The House bill contained a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to provide mandatory training on the 
potential health effects of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl 
substances to each medical provider of the Department of 
Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Non-medical counseling services for military families
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 763) that would 
amend section 1781 of title 10, United States Code, to 
authorize licensure or certification portability for mental 
health professionals who provide non-medical counseling 
services through the Military and Family Life Counseling (MFLC) 
Program of the Department of Defense (DOD). The provision would 
authorize such professionals to provide services at any 
location in a state, the District of Columbia, a commonwealth, 
or any territory or possession of the United States without 
regard to where the provider or recipient of services is 
located as long as the provision of services falls within the 
scope of their authorized Federal duties.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We acknowledge the value and importance of the MFLC Program 
to servicemembers and their families, and we encourage the 
Department of Defense to work with the State governments to 
facilitate licensure portability for health care professionals 
serving as contractors in DOD programs.
Improvement to Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program
    The House bill contained a provision that would amend 
section 745 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) to 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to award grants not to 
exceed $2.0 million to nonprofit organizations to provide 
assistance dogs under the Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    The Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program was authorized in 
the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283), and no further 
authorization is required for the Secretary to award grants to 
nonprofit organizations. We support an increase in funding to 
$2.0 million for these grants.
Assignment of behavioral health providers and technicians to aircraft 
        carriers
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 768) that would 
require the Secretary of the Navy to assign at least two 
military behavioral health providers and two behavioral health 
technicians to each aircraft carrier of the Navy not later than 
December 31, 2023.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We are aware that access to behavioral health services may 
be inadequate to serve the needs of sailors on certain naval 
platforms. We encourage the Secretary of the Navy to assign a 
sufficient number of behavioral health providers and 
technicians to provide access to mental health care services on 
aircraft carriers.
Pilot program on cryopreservation and storage
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 774) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program 
to authorize up to 1000 Active-Duty military personnel to 
cryopreserve and store gametes prior to deployment in support 
of combat or special operations.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Pilot program for participation by members of Selected Reserve in 
        health professions scholarship and financial assistance 
        programs
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 775) that would 
require the Secretaries of the military departments to carry 
out a pilot program that could modify service obligations for 
Selected Reserve members under the health professions 
scholarship and financial assistance programs of their 
departments to authorize satisfaction of the service obligation 
by service in the Selected Reserve.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Pilot program on ensuring pharmaceutical supply stability
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 776) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director 
of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), to establish a pilot 
program, not later than January 1, 2024, to acquire, manage, 
and replenish a 180-day supply of at least the 30 commonly used 
generic drugs at risk of shortage in the military health 
system.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the House report accompanying H.R. 4350 (H. 
Rept. 117-118) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 required the DLA to assess the feasibility of 
expanding the Warstopper program for generic pharmaceuticals to 
meet all military requirements. The study began in July 2022, 
and it will conclude next year. It will not only assess the 
feasibility of the Warstopper program expansion, but it will 
provide an estimate of the potential cost of expansion and 
provide insight on the best supply chain solutions to mitigate 
individual pharmaceutical shortages. Additionally, we are aware 
that the Government Accountability Office is conducting a 
review of the Warstopper program to determine the feasibility 
of expansion to ensure medication supply stability for 
deploying units, servicemembers, family members, and others 
during a public health emergency. We anticipate that the 
reports on those studies will be available for us to review 
next year.
Grant program for increased cooperation on post-traumatic stress 
        disorder research between United States and Israel
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 778) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretary of State, to award grants to eligible entities to 
conduct collaborative post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
research between the United States and Israel.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The amendment does not include this provision.
    The Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
House of Representatives received a briefing in March 2021 from 
the Department of Defense (DOD) highlighting the extensive 
military medical research collaboration between Israel and the 
United States. We note this long-standing, strong relationship 
is exemplified by the Shoresh Meeting, a biennial research 
conference led by the U.S. Army and the Israel Defense Force 
(IDF) held since 1978. This meeting includes research 
discussion and collaboration in the areas of infectious 
diseases, PTSD and behavioral health sciences, combat casualty 
care, forensic pathology/identification of victims of mass 
casualty events, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear 
events, naval and undersea medicine, and physiological stress 
and aerospace medicine. We note that DOD and Israel have either 
completed or begun 22 collaborative research efforts since 2016 
in these research areas with DOD awarding grants to conduct 
such research. Additionally, the Uniformed Services University 
of the Health Sciences and the IDF have had an academic 
agreement since 2016 covering the coordination of scientific 
and continuing education programs to include the potential 
development of specialized courses of military medical 
instruction.
Pilot programs of Defense Health Agency relating to sexual health
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 783) that would 
require the Director of the Defense Health Agency to carry out 
a 5-year telehealth pilot program for sexual health that would 
provide remote assessments of sexual health, comprehensive 
contraceptive counseling, diagnosis of medical conditions 
affecting sexual health, laboratory diagnostic services, and 
prescriptions for contraceptives or pre-exposure prophylactic 
medications.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We are aware that many of the requirements in this section 
are redundant to services currently provided in military 
medical treatment facilities. We direct the Secretary of 
Defense to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2023, 
on the full scope of programs and services on sexual health 
that may be available to beneficiaries in the military health 
system.
Drop boxes on military installations for deposit of unused prescription 
        drugs
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 784) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that each military 
installation maintains a drop box into which servicemembers and 
their family members could deposit unused prescription drugs.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the Department of Defense established a drug 
take-back program in 2016 that includes take-back drop boxes 
and mail-back envelopes. The program meets the regulations 
established by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency that require 
pharmacy personnel to monitor all drop boxes. Additionally, by 
regulation, drop boxes can only be available to patients during 
pharmacy business hours.
Funding for pancreatic cancer research
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 785) that would 
increase the amount of funding for pancreatic cancer research 
in the Defense Health Program by $5.0 million.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note a $5.0 million increase for such research in the 
budget funding tables of this bill.
Psychological evaluations for members of the Armed Forces returning 
        from Kabul
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 786) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to provide an initial 
psychological evaluation to each servicemember who served at 
Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan 
between August 15 through August 29, 2021, if they have not 
received such evaluation. The provision would require the 
Secretary to provide additional evaluations not later than 2 
and 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
    The Senate agreement contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We acknowledge that servicemembers engaged in military 
operations may experience certain stressors that can lead to 
anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and we 
encourage them to seek mental health care, without reservation, 
at the earliest possible time. We are aware that servicemembers 
engaged in operations in Kabul, Afghanistan in August 2021 have 
received psychological health evaluations and treatment as 
needed.
Annual review and update of online information relating to suicide 
        prevention
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 787) that would 
require the Secretary of each military department, beginning on 
September 30, 2023, and annually thereafter, to review and 
update online suicide prevention information and to submit a 
certification to the congressional defense committees that such 
information is current.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Funding for post-traumatic stress disorder
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 788) that would 
increase the amount of funding for post-traumatic stress 
disorder in the Defense Health Program by $2.5 million.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note a $2.5 million increase for such research in the 
budget funding tables of this bill.
Increased collaboration with National Institutes of Health to combat 
        triple negative breast cancer
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 789) that would 
require the Department of Defense to collaborate with the 
National Institutes of Health to identify biomarkers and to 
develop targeted therapies for triple negative breast cancer. 
The provision would provide funding to the Defense Health 
Program for breast cancer research in the amount of $10.0 
million.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note a $10.0 million increase for such research in the 
budget funding tables of this bill.
Pilot program to improve military readiness through nutrition and 
        wellness initiatives
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 790) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Secretaries of the military departments, to carry out a pilot 
program to improve military readiness through nutrition and 
wellness initiatives.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We acknowledge the importance of programs to improve 
nutrition and to promote wellness in the military services. 
Good health and physical fitness are key components of military 
readiness. The military services employ various programs to 
promote wellness such as sleep education, weight management and 
metabolic testing, exercise testing and exercise prescription, 
and stress management and biofeedback. They also provide 
nutrition fitness programs. One such program, the ``Go for 
Green Initiative'' helps servicemembers find high-performance 
foods and drinks to boost fitness, strength, and health. It 
educates servicemembers and improves their food environment 
through menu coding, standardized food cards, food placement 
strategies, and promotion of green-coded, healthy food items.
Screening and registry of individuals with health conditions resulting 
        from unsafe housing units
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2816) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that all military 
medical treatment facilities screen eligible individuals for 
medical conditions that result from residing in an unsafe 
housing unit and authorize the Secretary to establish 
procedures that would allow screened individuals to be included 
in a registry.
    The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 2880) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to ensure that all 
military medical treatment facilities screen eligible 
individuals for medical conditions that result from residing in 
an unsafe housing unit and to establish procedures that would 
allow screened individuals to be included in a registry.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include these provisions.
    We direct the Secretaries of the military departments to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 180 
days after enactment of this Act, on how they monitor the 
health of servicemembers and their families who may have 
experienced unsafe housing conditions.

  Title VIII--Acquisition Policy, Acquisition Management, and Related 
                                Matters

             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management

Sec. 801--Writing award to encourage curiosity and persistence in 
        overcoming obstacles in acquisition
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would 
authorize the President of the Defense Acquisition University 
to establish an award to recognize members of the acquisition 
workforce who use an iterative writing process to document a 
firsthand account of using independent judgment to overcome an 
obstacle the member faced working within the defense 
acquisition system.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with a modifying 
amendment.
Sec. 802--Task and delivery order contracting for architectural and 
        engineering services
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) that 
would amend section 3406 of title 10, United States Code, to 
modify how the most highly qualified contractor is selected to 
perform architectural and engineering services.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
technical amendment.
Sec. 803--Data requirements for commercial products for major weapon 
        systems
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would 
amend section 3455 of title 10, United States Code, to grant 
the Department of Defense (DOD) authority to obtain data to 
support the commercial product determination in certain 
circumstances.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
822).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
modifying amendment.
    We recognize that in order for contracting officers to make 
critical, foundational decisions related to contract actions 
for firm-fixed price sole source contracts, they need access to 
sufficient information to assess commercial item assertions and 
price reasonableness determinations. Senate Report 116-48 
accompanying S. 1790, the National Defense Authorization Act 
for fiscal year 2020, required the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment to submit an annual report 
detailing instances where potential contractors have denied 
contracting officer requests for uncertified cost or pricing 
data to allow for the determination of fair and reasonable 
pricing of DOD acquisitions.
    We have found these ``data denials'' reports to be 
illuminating, and believe the contents of these reports should 
be provided to the associated companies to ensure the 
leadership of such companies are: (1) Aware they are named in 
the report; (2) Have an opportunity to provide amplifying 
information to the Department related to such reported 
instances; and (3) Take timely corrective actions to address 
internal compliance procedures as appropriate. We believe such 
transparency can be instrumental to breaking down barriers of 
communication between industry and DOD officials at various 
levels of responsibility.
    Therefore, we direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to continue to submit this annual 
report to the congressional defense committees, and to make the 
appropriate portions of these reports available to the 
leadership of companies named in such reports to enable the 
aforementioned actions.
Sec. 804--Revision of authority for procedures to allow rapid 
        acquisition and deployment of capabilities needed under 
        specified high-priority circumstances
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 804) that 
would resolve inconsistencies and codify rapid acquisition 
authorities from section 806 of the Bob Stump National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) and 
section 804 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383).
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
modifying amendment.
Sec. 805--Treatment of certain clauses implementing Executive orders
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 821) that 
would amend section 3862 of title 10, United States Code, to 
clarify that the insertion of a clause implementing a new 
requirement mandated by an Executive Order into a Department of 
Defense contract vehicle would be considered a Government-
directed change.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
clarifying amendment.
Sec. 806--Life cycle management and product support
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 804) that would 
amend section 4324 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
the milestone decision authority to ensure the life cycle 
sustainment plan is approved by the product support manager, 
program manager, program executive officer, and an appropriate 
materiel, logistics, or fleet representative.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with a modifying 
amendment.
    We note that traditionally program sustainment costs have 
not been adequately integrated into the up-front acquisition 
planning process, though there is data and analysis to 
demonstrate that focusing on sustainment early in the 
acquisition process can achieve significant programmatic cost 
savings. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has 
reported extensively on programs that experience sustainment 
cost growth, such as shipbuilding programs and the F-35 
program, and made recommendations on how programs can be 
operated and maintained affordably while meeting sustainment 
requirements. GAO has noted the importance of establishing 
connections between life-cycle costs, reliability requirements, 
and manpower estimates, as well as emphasized the importance of 
developing a business case analysis that addresses tradeoffs 
and the associated implications to help programs assess the 
costs, benefits, and risks of key acquisition decisions.
    We further note the Department of Defense (DOD) has issued 
a new policy on product support management (DOD Instruction 
5000.91), which states, ``[T]he DOD will conduct comprehensive 
product support and sustainment planning for defense systems 
across the program's life cycle.'' We therefore direct the 
Secretary of Defense to present a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
not later than March 1, 2023, on demonstrated or anticipated 
improvements resulting from implementation of the Department's 
policy for optimizing product support planning and execution, 
including its ability to enable competition for life cycle 
product support, retain core logistics capability through 
organic depot maintenance, and make total force management risk 
assessments.
Sec. 807--Amendments to contractor employee protections from reprisal 
        for disclosure of certain information
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that would 
amend section 4701 of title 10, United States Code, and section 
4712 of title 41, United States Code, by expanding the 
applicability to include qualified grantees, subgrantees, and 
personal services contractors and by adding the Pandemic 
Response Accountability Committee and the Integrity Committee 
of the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and 
Efficiency to the list of entities to which a complaint can be 
disclosed.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with a modifying 
amendment.
    We note that whistleblowers who lawfully disclose suspected 
wrongdoing to an authorized recipient are critical in 
protecting the government from fraud, waste, and abuse. 
However, whistleblowers risk retaliation for their disclosures, 
including possible demotion, reassignment, or termination. 
While a whistleblower is generally protected from retaliation 
when a disclosure is made to an Office of the Inspector 
General, among other authorized recipients, questions have 
emerged as to whether those protections apply to disclosures 
made to certain entities within the federal inspector general 
community. Specifically, the Council of the Inspectors General 
on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) identified a concern that 
in relation to pandemic relief programs, disclosures to the 
Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC), Special 
Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery, and the CIGIE 
Integrity Committee may not be clearly covered by existing 
whistleblower protections.
    Given this ambiguity, we direct the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) to review the extent to which such 
protections apply to disclosures to the PRAC, Special Inspector 
General for Pandemic Recovery, and the CIGIE Integrity 
Committee. This review should also include information and 
analysis on the following: (1) The number and disposition of 
disclosures received by the PRAC, Special Inspector General for 
Pandemic Recovery, and the CIGIE Integrity Committee since 
March 2020; and (2) Whether any of the whistleblowers who made 
such disclosures have also claimed retaliation and the outcomes 
of those claims. We further direct the GAO to brief the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the results of its review not later than 270 
days after the enactment of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2023.
Sec. 808--Use of fixed-price type contracts for certain major defense 
        acquisition programs
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 862) that would 
amend section 818 of the John Warner National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364) to 
limit the number of low-rate initial production lots on a 
single contract under certain circumstances, and to provide for 
waiver authority.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with a modifying 
amendment.
Sec. 809--Acquisition reporting system
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that would 
amend section 4351 of title 10, United States Code, to remove 
the termination date for the selected acquisition reports.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
805).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
clarifying amendment.

Subtitle B--Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, 
                            and Limitations

Sec. 811--Inclusion in budget justification materials of enhanced 
        reporting on proposed cancellations and modifications to 
        multiyear contracts
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5811) that 
would amend section 239c of title 10, United States Code, to 
include enhanced reporting on proposed cancellations and 
modifications to multiyear contracts in budget justification 
materials.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Sec. 812--Comptroller General assessment of acquisition programs and 
        related efforts
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would 
extend the mandate in section 3072 of title 10, United States 
Code, ``Comptroller General Assessment of Acquisition Programs 
and Initiatives'' from 2023 to 2026, and would make additional 
changes to the scope of the assessments.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
808).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Sec. 813--Extension of Defense Modernization Account authority
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that 
would permanently extend the authority for the Defense 
Modernization Account.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Sec. 814--Clarification to fixed-price incentive contract references
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would 
correct imprecise use of the term ``fixed-price incentive fee'' 
contract and replace it with ``fixed-price incentive'', which 
is used at subpart 16.204 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation 
and throughout Department of Defense policy.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision.
Sec. 815--Modification of reporting requirement in connection with 
        requests for multiyear procurement authority for large defense 
        acquisitions
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
would streamline the process for submitting a request to carry 
out a defense acquisition program using multiyear contract 
authority.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Sec. 816--Modification of provision relating to determination of 
        certain activities with unusually hazardous risks
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that would 
elevate indemnification authority for certain military 
contracts from the Secretaries of the military departments to 
the Secretary of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) that 
would extend an existing reporting requirement relating to 
unusually hazardous risk and contract indemnification.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
    We remain concerned with the lack of resolution regarding 
open indemnification requests related to the Conventional 
Prompt Strike program, other weapons programs, and the 
associated planned employment platforms. We note these delays 
could lead to significant delivery delays for both Navy and 
Army hypersonic weapons programs, the next block of Virginia-
class submarines, and other programs.
    We are also concerned with inconsistencies across the 
military services regarding implementation of section 2354 of 
title 10, United States Code, and Executive Order 10789. 
Further, we note that the report provided to the congressional 
defense committees by the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment did not fully respond to the 
requirements of section 1684 of the National Defense

would allow funds to be used to modify the terms and conditions 
of a contract or option to provide an economic price 
adjustment.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
modifying amendment.
    We recognize that higher than anticipated economic 
inflation continues to challenge the budgeting and execution 
processes of the Department of Defense and defense industrial 
base (DIB). The ability of the Department and DIB to adapt to 
economic conditions is a critical factor in maintaining the 
health of the DIB, especially when economic conditions are 
unusually volatile and in regard to firm fixed price contracts 
where industry bears the predominant financial risk.
    While it is important for the Department to uphold and 
enforce contractual terms and conditions, we believe the 
Department should be provided tailored authority to engage 
extraordinary measures to address extraordinary economic 
impacts. The ability to make informed financial plans and 
decisions lies at the heart of competition. When unanticipated 
extraordinary economic events disrupt those plans and 
decisions, the result can be catastrophic for the DIB, 
including economic hardship, bankruptcy, and consolidation.
    In order to support a robust DIB, we believe the Department 
needs additional temporary authorities to respond to the 
effects of recent and current inflation levels. We believe 
these authorities coupled with funding to mitigate inflation 
impacts will enable the Department to provide a measure of 
relief to the DIB where appropriate.

        Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Acquisition Workforce

Sec. 831--Key experiences and enhanced pay authority for acquisition 
        workforce excellence
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
require the Department of Defense to establish rotational 
assignments for a certain percentage of the acquisition 
workforce through the public-private talent exchange, and amend 
section 1701b of title 10, United States Code, to add 
Department of Defense Field Activities and Defense Agencies and 
allow for up to five positions with enhanced pay.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would establish rotational assignments for up to 
250 members of the acquisition workforce through the public-
private talent exchange.
    We recognize the value of industry exchanges and encourage 
broader use of the authority for Department personnel who 
volunteer for the opportunity to experience private sector 
service and bring back observations and lessons learned on 
management practices, technological expertise, and 
organizational agility and flexibility.
    In expanding this statutory authority, we encourage the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD 
A&S) to consider the recommendations put forth in the Defense 
Business Board's 2019 report on reducing barriers to industry-
government personnel exchanges, and provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than April 1, 2023, on progress made 
to address them, to include streamlining myriad existing 
exchange programs, strengthening civilian talent management, 
and proposing legislative changes that might be needed to 
modernize rules governing conflicts of interest and post-
employment restrictions to achieve a more permeable workforce 
of motivated, diverse, and highly skilled individuals across 
the defense ecosystem.
    Recognizing the need to balance filling the Department's 
acquisition workforce positions with broadening opportunities, 
like the public-private talent exchange, we encourage the USD 
A&S to request an increase to this statutory authority as 
appropriate. Additionally, policies governing such exchange 
opportunities should emphasize the career-enhancing and 
broadening nature of these exchanges, but should not be 
construed to be a requirement in determining promotion 
potential.
Sec. 832--Defense Acquisition University reforms
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 
amend section 1746 of title 10, United States Code, to replace

colleges or universities with an expectation that the Secretary 
of Defense will ensure the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) 
collaborates with the acquisition research activities 
established under section 2361a of title 10, United States 
Code, and to direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to appoint the president of the DAU 
by evaluating certain factors.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with modifying 
amendments.
Sec. 833--Modifications to Defense Civilian Training Corps

identify sources of expertise and collaboration for the Defense 
Civilian Training Corps.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with a 
clarifying amendment.
    We recognize there are existing and expansive partnerships 
between the Department of Defense and academia that can be 
leveraged to ensure successful implementation of the Defense 
Civilian Training Corps (DCTC). Distinguishable from the 
Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) 
Scholarship for Service program, which provides degree funding 
and a limited work commitment to science, technology, 
engineering and mathematics (STEM) students who conduct complex 
research to further the defense mission, DCTC is modeled on the 
Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps (SROTC), which was 
established in 1916 to ensure preparedness and develop military 
leadership to respond to a changing world. Today, the 
Department must recruit and retain leaders who can meet the 
challenges of managing strategic investment in the industrial 
base and increase innovation within the defense ecosystem. 
These leaders must represent a digitally literate acquisition 
workforce capable of collaborating across disciplines and with 
the private sector to partner with STEM professionals on 
emerging technology initiatives.
    Therefore, the Acquisition Innovation Research Center, 
which engages the talents of faculty, students, and researchers 
from a broad, interdisciplinary network of collaborative 
universities, should serve a leading role in developing and 
deploying an SROTC-like curriculum designed to train future 
civilian leaders to employ evidence-based, data-driven 
decision-making to improve defense acquisition outcomes. We 
further encourage the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to seek insight from and 
collaborate with the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel 
and Readiness and the Under Secretary of Defense for Research 
and Engineering (to include the Strategic Engagements Director 
of the National Security Innovation Network), the Chief Digital 
and Artificial Intelligence Officer, and the commanders of the 
SROTC commands for each service.
Sec. 834--Acquisition workforce incentives relating to training on, and 
        agreements with, certain start-up businesses
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would 
require training curricula to educate the Department of Defense 
acquisition community about the details of business models and 
revenue incentives of software-first commercial, startup, and 
nontraditional companies that may be able to offer solutions to 
the Department.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would make recommendations on applicable 
curricula, which might include modification or adoption of 
existing curricula from other sources, as well as the 
identification of existing Department of Defense conferences 
that might be expanded to include opportunities for engagement 
by participants in these training opportunities.
Sec. 835--Curricula on software acquisitions and cybersecurity software 
        or hardware acquisitions for covered individuals

require the Secretary of Defense to develop guidelines and 
resources on the acquisition or licensing of intellectual 
property.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with a modifying 
amendment.
Sec. 842--Modification of authority of the Department of Defense to 
        carry out certain prototype projects

``personnel of the Department of Defense or improving'' and by 
striking ``or materials in use'' and inserting ``materials, or 
installations in use''.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would clarify a definition, as well as create a 
3-year pilot authority to use other transactions for 
installation or facility prototyping. The list of prototype 
project types at subparagraph (e)(5) is not meant to be 
restrictive, and should not be read to change the intent or 
purpose of the glossary entry in the Department of Defense 
Other Transaction Guide. To make the best use of the authority 
in this section, we strongly encourage the Department to invest 
in continuous and experiential education for management, 
technical, and contracting personnel, as well as attorneys, to 
understand how to effectively and innovatively use other 
transaction authority and explore flexible means to achieve 
mission results more quickly and with more value added.
Sec. 844--Prizes for advanced technology achievements
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 841) that would

their continuation.
    We also note the Department of the Navy's decision to 
cancel the Snakehead Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea 
Vehicle (LDUUV) program in fiscal year 2023. We understand 
significant advances in commercial technology have occurred 
since the start of the Snakehead LDUUV program and believe 
commercially available LDUUVs operated independently from 
submarines could be rapidly fielded to address current 
Department of Navy mission needs and capability gaps.
    Therefore, we direct the Secretary of the Navy to conduct 
analysis and experimentation activities during fiscal year 
2023, including through the full use of the authorities in this 
section, with the objective of identifying commercially 
available LDUUVs that could be fielded as rapidly as possible

LDUUVs that: (1) Do not require crewed submarines to serve as 
host platforms for the conduct of uncrewed operations; (2) Are 
commercially available; (3) Are at a high technology readiness 
level; (4) Possess multi-day endurance; (5) Are capable of 
operating at full ocean depth; and (6) Are capable of rapidly 
integrating different payloads for the performance of multiple 
missions in support of Navy and Marine Corps concepts of 
operations. The Secretary is directed to report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than December 1, 
2023, on the actions taken to comply with this direction.

and remove the prohibition against awarding replacement 
contracts.
Sec. 884--Incorporation of controlled unclassified information guidance 
        into program classification guides and program protection plans
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 874) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that all 
program classification guides (for classified programs) and all 
program protection plans (for unclassified programs) include 
guidance for the proper marking for controlled unclassified 
information (CUI) at their next regularly scheduled update.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
    We understand the Department of Defense's uneven 
application of CUI markings is particularly problematic for 
industry, which often receives little CUI training or guidance 
from the Government and is unsure of its responsibilities 
regarding this marking convention. We are also concerned with 
the extent and efficacy of the training, guidance, and 
oversight provided to the Department's Government personnel on 
the CUI marking convention, which has resulted in the over-
classification of entire documents and a lack of clear portion 
markings within documents.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Modifications to middle tier acquisition authority
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) that 
would amend section 804 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to require the 
component acquisition executives to approve an acquisition plan 
within 1 year of a program being designated a rapid prototyping 
or rapid fielding program under the Middle Tier of Acquisition 
(MTA) authority. The acquisition plan must include: (1) The 
potential pathway(s) to an existing or planned program of 
record; (2) A life-cycle cost estimate; and (3) A test plan to 
verify desired performance goals.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We support the use of MTA pathway to rapidly develop and 
deploy innovative technologies and capabilities to operational 
units. However, we are concerned that the desire for speed in 
these programs could lead to the omission of key elements of 
good program management. To mitigate this risk, the Department 
of Defense should have processes in place to ensure proper 
acquisition planning for MTA efforts that will result in 
successful transition to a program of record.
    Therefore, we direct the Undersecretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the component 
acquisition executives, to submit an assessment of existing 
acquisition planning processes for MTA efforts not later than 
July 30, 2023. The assessment shall describe existing processes 
or procedures the Department is using to plan for: (1) The 
potential transition pathway or pathways to an existing or 
planned program of record; (2) A life-cycle cost estimate; and 
(3) A test plan to verify desired performance goals.
Preference for domestic foods for military working dogs
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 
require the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency to give a 
preference for the acquisition of domestically-produced food 
for military working dogs.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We direct the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives by June 1, 2023, on 
sourcing for food produced for military-working dogs. Such 
briefing should include sourcing over the last 3 years and 
tentative sourcing plans over the next 2 years.
Prohibition on certain procurements of major defense acquisition 
        programs
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that 
prohibit the procurement of items used in major defense 
acquisition programs made in, or by companies controlled by, 
China.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Enhanced domestic content requirement for major defense acquisition 
        programs
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 807) that would 
establish domestic content thresholds for certain acquisition 
programs, require a related assessment, and make provisions for 
the national technology and industrial base.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Mission-based rapid acquisition account
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 808) that would 
create a mission-based rapid acquisition account executed by 
the Strategic Capabilities Office in coordination with the 
Defense Innovation Unit.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We encourage the Deputy Secretary of Defense to continue to 
pursue the pilot program established by section 871 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
Law 117-81) for the purpose of identifying lessons learned and 
improving mission outcomes by quickly delivering solutions that 
fulfill critical operational needs arising from cross-service 
missions and at the seams between joint and service 
capabilities. We further encourage the Deputy Secretary for 
Defense to select a mission for the pilot program in the Joint 
All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) effort, specifically the 
role of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & 
Sustainment in establishing policies for acquiring the 
innovative technology and fielding the capabilities needed to 
achieve interoperability and common management across the JADC2 
ecosystem. Therefore we direct the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing, not 
later than February 1, 2023, on whether JADC2 is an appropriate 
environment for mission management, and if so, how the Under 
Secretary would plan for inclusion of funding in the 
President's budget given the challenge of delivering 
capabilities that are evolving on a commercial timeline.
Preference for offerors that meet certain requirements
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 809) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to prioritize offerors that 
meet certain requirements.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Subcontracting requirements for certain contracts awarded to 
        educational institutions
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would 
implement minority institution subcontracting requirements for 
contracts awarded to certain institutions.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Competition requirements for purchases from Federal Prison Industries
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that would 
amend section 3905 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
the Secretary of Defense to conduct market research before 
purchasing a product listed in the latest edition of the 
Federal Prison Industries (FPI) catalog and would require the 
use of competitive procedures if the Secretary determines the 
FPI product is not comparable to products available from the 
private sector in price, quality, or time of delivery.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that Congress established FPI to help manage, train 
and rehabilitate inmates through employment. Congress 
established . . . ercent threshold in section 827 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public 
Law 110-181), under which the Department of Defense (DOD) was 
to acquire products produced by FPI, as long as the products 
met the needs of the Department in terms of quality, 
performance, and price. We are aware of concerns about the 
decline in FPI's revenue generated from sales to DOD and 
Federal agencies. We believe that improvements in the ability 
of Federal agencies to better mine acquisition data, increases 
in the simplified acquisition threshold and the advent of e-
commerce portals will provide both more opportunities and more 
insight into how well the program is serving federal government 
needs. In addition, the Joint Explanatory Statement to 
Accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2022 (Committee Print No. 2) directed the Comptroller 
General of the United States to look at this program in more 
detail to find opportunities for improvement. We look forward 
to those preliminary observations being delivered by December 
2022, to help inform any possible future congressional action 
related to FPI.
Require full domestic production of flags of the United States acquired 
        by the Department of Defense
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that would 
prohibit funds to be made available for the procurement of a 
flag of the United States unless such flag is manufactured in 
the United States and from materials manufactured in the United 
States.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the matters raised in this provision are 
addressed elsewhere in this Act.
Compliance procedures for investigating the prohibition on criminal 
        history inquiries by Federal contractors prior to conditional 
        offer
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish, and make 
available to the public, procedures under which an applicant 
for a position with a Department of Defense contractor may 
submit to the Secretary a complaint, or any other information, 
relating to compliance by the contractor.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Reestablishment of Commission on Wartime Contracting
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that would 
reestablish the Commission on Wartime Contracting.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We acknowledge that the recommendations made by the 
Commission on Wartime Contracting in 2011 to address 
deficiencies in contract management and oversight have spurred 
meaningful internal review, improved coordination, and data 
integrity assurance within the Department of Defense. In a 
briefing directed by the Joint Explanatory Statement to 
Accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2022 (Committee Print No. 2) on reforms made to 
contingency support and vendor accountability operations, the 
Department explained that in the early years of the conflicts 
in Iraq and Afghanistan, insufficient thought and effort were 
put into adopting and integrating joint capability lessons 
learned related to operational contract support, and more could 
have been done to recognize the impact on the larger 
enterprise. Since then, in response to Commission 
recommendations, the Department has consolidated 
responsibilities, improved data accuracy, and created workforce 
training based on lessons learned. We recognize the need for 
continued improvement and institutionalization of lessons 
learned so that the Department will be better positioned to 
adapt or evolve its processes rapidly for future contingency 
contracting needs, without the steep learning curve documented 
by the Commission. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
has tracked this positive momentum and observed that 
operational contract support could be removed from the High 
Risk List if sufficient capacity and resourcing is invested in 
the Synchronized Pre-deployment Operational Tracker-Enterprise 
System; greater efficiency and accountability are achieved; and 
guidance on oversight, management, and accounting of 
contractors supporting U.S. military operations is updated. We 
look forward to the Comptroller General of the United States' 
evaluation of whether operational contract support is to remain 
on the High Risk List. Any related GAO recommendations will 
inform our future oversight.
Progress payment incentive pilot
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 827) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish and 
implement a 4-year pilot program to make accelerated progress 
payments contingent upon responsiveness to Department of 
Defense goals for effectiveness, efficiency, and increasing 
small business contract opportunities.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the matters raised in this provision are 
addressed elsewhere in this Act.
Report on Department of Defense Strategic Capabilities Office 
        contracting capabilities
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 828) that 
would require a report on the contracting capabilities of the 
Department of Defense's Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO), 
including an assessment of the extent to which changes to these 
capabilities could benefit the SCO in carrying out its mission.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not contain this provision.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, 
and the Director of the Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO), to 
submit to the congressional defense committees a briefing on 
the adequacy of SCO contracting authorities not later than 
March 1, 2023. The briefing shall include: (1) A summary of the 
existing authorities of the SCO, including the mechanisms for 
contracting in support of existing programs; (2) An assessment 
of the average amount of time needed to conduct contracting 
actions through current mechanisms; (3) An assessment of the 
pros and cons of the current contracting processes for SCO in 
relation to their ability to rapidly develop and deploy 
technology in support of Department of Defense operational 
units; (4) An assessment of the type or types of contracting 
authority that would be most beneficial to the SCO in carrying 
out its mission in order to achieve desired speed and scale for 
the organization, including any limits or oversight measures 
that should be put into place; (5) An assessment of structural 
changes that may be needed in order to accommodate the 
preferred contracting approach for SCO; and (6) The Secretary 
of Defense's recommendations for future authorities for the 
SCO.
Repeal of certain provisions relating to acquisition workforce 
        incentives
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would 
repeal certain note provisions that have expired or been fully 
implemented in policy.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that section 834 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-283) is 
codified in title 10, United States Code, elsewhere in this 
Act.
Update to plan on reduction of reliance on services, supplies, or 
        materials from covered countries
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that would 
amend section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) to identify critical 
defense requirements in the event of a crisis or conflict, and 
to establish related reporting requirements.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We look forward to receiving the report required by section 
847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2022 in January 2023, at which time we will consider follow-on 
actions that might be necessary.
Microloan program; definitions
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 855) that would 
amend paragraph (11) of section 7(m) of the Small Business Act 
(Public Law 85-536) to define the term ``State'' to mean each 
of the several states, the District of Columbia, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands of the United 
States, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, 
and American Samoa.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Prohibition on covered airport contracts with certain entities

prohibit the Department of Defense from entering into certain 
contracts for acquiring passenger boarding bridge equipment or 
infrastructure at certain installations, facilities, or 
airports.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the matters raised in this provision are 
addressed elsewhere in this Act.

require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review of the 
Department of Defense carbon fiber requirements necessary for 
current and future weapon system production and sustainment.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the matters raised in this provision are 
addressed elsewhere in this Act.
Extension of transfer date for the verification of small business 
        concerns owned and controlled by veterans or service-disabled 
        veterans to the Small Business Administration
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859A) that would 
extend the transfer date for the verification of small business 
concerns owned and controlled by veterans or service-disabled 
veterans to the Small Business Administration to January 1, 
2024.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Application of price evaluation preference for qualified HUBZone small 
        business concerns to certain contracts
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859B) that would 
require the application of price evaluation preference for 
qualified HUBZone small business concerns to certain contracts.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Modifications to the nonmanufacturer rule
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859D) that would 
amend section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (Public Law

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Study on small business assistance to foreign-based companies
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859E) that would 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct 
a study to determine the amount of small business assistance 
that has been received by foreign-based small business concerns 
during the period beginning on March 1, 2020, and ending on the 
date of the enactment of this Act.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Report on strategic and critical materials
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859F) that would 
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment to submit a report describing strategic and 
critical materials requirements of the Department of Defense 
(DOD).
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the annex provided under section 851 of the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) did not contain every 
required element. We direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to submit a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than June 1, 2023, describing the 
gaps and vulnerabilities in the supply chains of critical and 
strategic materials required by DOD. The report should include: 
(1) The overall annual tonnage of each strategic or critical 
material used by DOD during the 10-year period ending on 
December 31, 2021; (2) An evaluation of the effects of the use 
of waivers by the Strategic Materials Protection Board

all minerals that are strategic and critical, and supply chains 
for such minerals, that originate or pass through the Russian 
Federation; (6) An evaluation of the process required to 
immediately halt the procurement of minerals described in 
paragraph (5) or products by the Government without adversely 
affecting National Security; (7) Any limits on the availability 
of information preventing or limiting the Under Secretary from 
fully addressing any elements in this briefing; and (8) Any 
legislative recommendations, authorities, or appropriations 
necessary to improve the ability of DOD to monitor and address 
its strategic and critical minerals requirements. The briefing 
shall be in an unclassified form but may have a classified 
annex.
Sense of Congress on modernizing defense supply chain management
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859H) that would 
express the sense of Congress on modernizing defense supply 
chain management.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that, to meet the unique needs of the Department of 
Defense regarding continuity of supply chain management in both 
garrison and deployed or austere environments, the Department 
must prioritize digital supply chain management solutions that 
use durable devices and technologies designed to operate in 
remote regions with limited network connectivity.

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by June 1, 2023 on any instances in which 
Department of Defense entities or their contractors are using 
or being pressured to use LOGINK in the course of their 
operations.
Extension of participation in 8(a) program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859K) that would

    The agreement does not include this provision.
Native Hawaiian organizations
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859N) that would 
amend section 8020 of title VIII of division A of the 
Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to 
Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic 
Influenza Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-148) by striking ``with 
agencies of the Department of Defense'' and inserting ``with 
agencies and departments of the Federal Government''.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Temporary suspension of COVID-19 vaccine mandate for Department of 
        Defense contractors
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 866) that would 
require a report by the Comptroller General of the United 
States in the predicted effects of the requirement for 
Department of Defense contractors to receive a COVID-19 
vaccine.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We continue to strive to understand the full impact of the 
COVID-19 virus on the defense industrial base, in particular 
the effects of the COVID vaccine mandate on contractor 
performance. We believe more robust data and a better 
understanding of a range of impacts can help inform future 
decision making.
    Therefore, we direct the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct a study to examine the effects of the COVID-
19 vaccine mandate on Department of Defense contractors. Such 
study should examine the effects of such mandate on contract 
costs, performance, delivery schedules, subcontractor and 
supply chain matters, and workforce impacts including increased 
or decreased rates of productivity or absenteeism. A briefing 
on the interim results of the study shall be provided to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by August 1, 2023, with the final report to be 
provided at a time mutually agreed with the committees.
Government Accountability Office report on Department of Defense 
        contract financing and commercial best practices
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 867) that would 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit 
a report assessing a study on the effect that the Department of 
Defense's contract financing and profit policies have on the 
defense industry.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We are aware the Department of Defense has commissioned an 
independent study to evaluate financing mechanisms available in 
the Department's contracting toolbox to improve the 
effectiveness and efficiency of cash flow in the defense 
sector. We anticipate this study to provide useful findings and 
recommendations on the impacts to cash flow based on contract 
type, the impact on small businesses (especially based on the 
amount and sufficiency of cash flowing down to small business 
subcontractors from their primes), analysis of the tradeoffs in 
longer-term capitalization decisions made by the defense 
industrial base between pursuing private sector loans versus 
advanced government payments, and the potential impact 
government accounting system requirements for contractors have 
on the ability to access cash flow.
    Not later than 1 year after the date of the completion of 
the Department's contract financing, the Comptroller General is 
directed to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
report assessing such study, including efforts the Department 
of Defense could take in light of the study findings to ensure 
fair and reasonable pricing of commercial products and 
services. We are also aware the Defense Contract Management 
Agency (DCMA) is conducting a review of data gathered on the 
degree to which prime contractors have flowed progress payments 
down to their subcontractors since March 2020, when the 
Department adjusted progress payment rates in response to 
COVID-19 impacts, and direct the Commander of DCMA to brief the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on its data findings analysis by March 1, 2023.
Prohibition on contracting with employers that violated the National 
        Labor Relations Act
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 868) that would 
prohibit the Secretary of Defense from entering into a contract 
with an employer found to have violated section 8(a) of the 
National Labor Relations Act (Public Law 74-198) during the 3-
year period preceding the proposed date of award of the 
contract.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that if an offeror is found to have received final 
adjudication of a violation of the National Labor Relations 
Act, a contracting officer has authority to determine the 
offeror not responsible, thereby disqualifying it from award of 
a contract.
    However, as the Acquisition Innovation Research Center 
(AIRC) stated in a report titled ``Congressionally Mandated 
Study on Contractor Debarments for Violations of U.S. Labor 
Laws,'' published pursuant to the Joint Explanatory Statement 
to Accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2022 (Committee Print No. 2), contracting officers ``are 
tasked with a myriad of responsibilities throughout the 
acquisition lifecycle . . . [and in] making their 
responsibility determinations Contracting Officers often do not 
have the necessary information or knowledge base to make 
informed decisions regarding the relevance and weight of 
various labor law violations.''
    Recent reports from the Comptroller General of the United 
States indicate efforts are underway to improve information 
sharing between the Department of Labor and Federal agencies to 
ensure access to comprehensive and accurate information when 
making such responsibility determinations, however, in its 
report the AIRC observed such information transfer may not 
provide contracting officers or suspension and debarment 
officers the context and background needed to make fully 
informed decisions. The AIRC recommends additional training for 
contracting officers in how to find and assess data regarding 
labor violations and suggests requiring contractors to submit 
data regarding finally adjudicated labor law violations as part 
of regular representations and certifications to improve 
transparency, accuracy, and decision-making.
    We therefore direct the AIRC to post the aforementioned 
report on its publicly accessible website and encourage the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
host a conference with AIRC, and participants from government, 
industry, and academia, and create a summary of such 
conference, to improve reporting processes and understanding of 
labor violations within the existing statutory and regulatory 
framework.
Amendments to contracting authority for certain small business concerns
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 869) that would 
amend contracting authorities for socially and economically 
disadvantaged business concerns, certain small business 
concerns owned and controlled by women, qualified HUBZone small 
business concerns, small business concerns owned and controlled 
by service-disabled veterans, and certain veteran-owned 
concerns.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Equitable adjustments to construction contracts
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 870) that would 
allow a small business concern that was awarded a construction 
contact by an agency to submit a request for an equitable 
adjustment to the contracting office of such agency if the 
contracting officer directs a change in the terms of the 
contract performance without the agreement of the small 
business concern.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Manufacturing of insulin
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that would 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to: (1) Select one or more 
Government-owned, contractor-operated facilities to manufacture 
insulin; (2) Use existing pharmaceutical manufacturing 
facilities of the Department of Defense to produce insulin; or 
(3) Establish new pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities to 
produce insulin.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We recognize the current challenges in maintaining a stable 
and resilient supply chain, especially for pharmaceutical 
agents. The recent COVID-19 pandemic response has highlighted 
the susceptibility of the supply chain to disruptions and the 
need for more robust investments from civilian agencies to 
oversee and mitigate those disruptions. As a vital 
subpopulation requiring an assured pharmaceutical agent supply 
in order to maintain force readiness and family support, we 
believe it is necessary to have a better understanding of the 
Department's requirements for such agents used to treat chronic 
health conditions, as well as planning and mitigation measures 
being taken to protect against supply chain disruptions.
    Therefore, we direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Personnel and Readiness, in consultation with the Under

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5901) that 
would establish the Office of Strategic Capital.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We are aware that there are a number of authorities 
available to other parts of the federal government, such as 
loans, loan guarantees, equity investments, and insurance/
reinsurance processes, that can be helpful tools for 
incentivizing the engagement of U.S. private capital in a 
manner that furthers the U.S. national interest. Similar tools 
are also utilized by adversarial governments, therefore it is 
critical that the Department of Defense better understand and 
find the means to effectively use all such available tools to 
ensure that the Department can combat both the unintended 
consequences of long-standing economic policies, as well as the 
subversion and malign perversion of our open, competitive 
economic system.
    Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees by not later 
than March 1, 2023, on the application, feasibility, and 
potential implementation of pathways for economic policy 
instruments that might be used to support and bolster U.S. 
national security and the defense industrial base, such as 
loans, loan guarantees, equity investments, and insurance/
reinsurance processes. Such briefing should include:
          (1) A description of similar authorities that are in 
        use by other parts of the federal government, including 
        limitations on their use, effectiveness and challenges 
        in their execution;
          (2) How the Department of Defense currently works 
        with those other federal agencies to leverage existing 
        authorities, as well as recommendations on how the 
        Department might improve their ability to leverage 
        those authorities;
          (3) An analysis of any gaps in existing authorities 
        where the Department might benefit from having similar 
        authorities granted, as well as how it might staff and 
        implement such authorities if they were to be granted;
          (4) A detailed description of how loan guarantees 
        could be vetted, approved, and managed by the 
        Department, including mechanisms to ensure competition 
        and transparency, and how they could protect the 
        interests of the Government; and
          (5) How such loan guarantees would be coordinated 
        with other Government invest mechanisms or other 
        private sector financing.

functions, missions, and tasks, with the headquarters to be 
established not later than October 1, 2024.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note the continued interest in the structure and

Acts.
Clarification of roles and responsibilities for force modernization 
        efforts of the Army

Sense of Congress on the Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 917) that would 
support the Department of Defense's efforts to achieve 
electromagnetic superiority, as outlined in its 2020 
Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy, including 
encouraging the Department to unify Defense-wide 
electromagnetic spectrum enterprise activities and consolidate 
electromagnetic spectrum operations leadership. It would also 
require the Department of Defense to provide an unclassified 
version of its Implementation Plan for the Electromagnetic 
Spectrum Superiority Strategy.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We believe the following:
          (1) The Department of Defense released the 
        ``Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy'' 
        (October 2020) and the corresponding ``Electromagnetic 
        Spectrum Superiority Strategy Implementation Plan'' 
        (August 2021);
          (2) The purpose of the ``Electromagnetic Spectrum 
        Superiority Strategy'' is to align electromagnetic 
        spectrum activities across the Department of Defense to 
        solve persistent gaps in the ability of the United 
        States to project, achieve, and sustain electromagnetic 
        spectrum superiority against adversaries and peer 
        competitors, most notably Russia and China;
          (3) A goal of the ``Electromagnetic Spectrum 
        Superiority Strategy'' is to ``Establish Effective EMS 
        Governance'' to unify Department of Defense-wide 
        electromagnetic spectrum enterprise activities, develop 
        a continuous process improvement culture, and promote 
        policies that support Department of Defense 
        electromagnetic spectrum capabilities and operations;
          (4) Electromagnetic spectrum superiority underpins 
        each of the four priorities of the ``2022 National 
        Defense Strategy of the Department of Defense;''
          (5) The projecting, achievement, and sustainment of 
        electromagnetic spectrum superiority is inherently a 
        joint operational mission that is fundamental to the 
        success of military missions carried out by the United 
        States and its allies across all warfighting domains;
          (6) Electromagnetic spectrum operations leadership in 
        the Pentagon must be consolidated and unambiguous to 
        address persistent gaps in coordination of joint 
        electronic warfare among the services and fragmentation 
        in guidance from leadership in the Department of 
        Defense; and
          (7) The Secretary of Defense--
                  (a) Should provide to Congress an 
                unclassified version of the Implementation Plan 
                for the Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority 
                Strategy in all future updates to the plan; and
                  (b) As part of implementing the 
                Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy, 
                should--
                          (i) Strengthen governance reforms to 
                        ensure necessary senior operational 
                        leadership; and
                          (ii) Provide a coherent response to 
                        persistent gaps in joint 
                        electromagnetic spectrum operations 
                        across the areas of Doctrine, 
                        Organization, Training, Materiel, 
                        Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and 
                        Policy (DOTMLPF-P).
Establishment of Space National Guard
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would 
establish a Space National Guard comprising National Guard 
forces in the states and U.S. territories in which the Space

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.

Chief of Space Operations.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note the structural changes being executed and 
considered as the Chief of Space Operations (CSO) and Assistant 
Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and 
Integration (SAF/SQ) continue to establish their respective 
organizations. We further note the desire of the CSO to 
establish direct reporting units (DRU) and/or field operating 
agencies (FOA), to include conducting space warfighting 
analysis and enterprise talent management activities. To date, 
we have not received adequate justification for these DRU/FOA 
requests. Further, in the case of the Space Warfighting 
Analysis Center (SWAC), consideration of alignment to SAF/SQ 
does not appear to have been addressed, as was required by the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
Law 117-81). Therefore, we direct that there should still be a 
desire to establish these organizations either as a DRU or FOA 
within the United States Space Force, and that not later than 
March 31, 2023, the Secretary of the Air Force shall provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees that includes:
          (1) Justification for establishing the SWAC as a DRU 
        to the CSO, including:
                  (a) Risks and benefits to maintaining the 
                current organizational structure reporting to 
                the Space Operations Command (SpOC)
                  (b) Analysis of risks and benefits of 
                aligning the SWAC to the SAF/SQ vice the CSO or 
                SpOC; and
          (2) Justification for establishing an Enterprise 
        Talent Management Office (ETMO), including
                  (a) Location
                  (b) Personnel requirements
                  (c) Associated costs.

space component. The Secretary would be required to submit to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives a report on such study not later than December 
31, 2023.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the elements of this study are included in a 
provision elsewhere in the agreement.

amended by section 1007 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), to support

required vessels to be amphibious assault ships and specify 
that the Navy maintain no fewer than 24 amphibious ships in an 
operationally ready status.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would delete the requirement to maintain 24 
amphibious ships in an operationally ready status.

        baseline plans
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6011) that 
would require the Secretary of the Navy to deliver a report on 
a baseline plan for all new battle force ships within 45 days 
of delivery of the first ship of a new class. The report would 
establish a baseline for the employment, maintenance, and 
manning of the ship class. The Secretary would then be required

and require the National Defense Strategy (NDS) be submitted in 
unclassified form.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1061).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.
    We note that when the Department of Defense (DOD) 
transmitted the classified 2022 NDS to Congress, it did not 
submit an unclassified summary as required by statute and as 
occurred in the 2018 NDS process. Instead, the DOD provided a 
short, unclassified fact sheet that summarized, in broad terms, 
the main priorities of the 2022 NDS. While the Department has 
since released an unclassified summary of the NDS, we note that 
several months elapsed from the transmittal of the classified 
NDS to Congress and the release of the unclassified summary. 
This delay hampered efforts by members of Congress to explain 
the National Defense Strategy to the public and debate policy 
and budgetary choices within the Congress. Therefore, we 
believe mandating an unclassified form of the NDS will aid 
Congress in its oversight duties.

munitions assistance.

amendment.

require the Secretary of Defense to develop processes and 
procedures under which the Secretary would issue common access 
cards to staff of the congressional defense committees who need 
such access to facilitate the performance of required 
congressional oversight activities, including the provision of 
by such staff to access to all Department of Defense 
installations and facilities.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would require the Secretary to develop processes

amendment that would make the authority for the Secretary of 
Defense discretionary rather than mandatory.

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1087) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to: (1) Comply with 
construction standards for sectional barges approved by the 
American Bureau of Shipping; and (2) Specify a deck design with 
a minimum concentrated load capacity of 10,000 pounds per 
square foot.

        operations in the information environment
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1068) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to provide notification not

    We strongly support the use of section 2561 of title 10,

adequately define the humanitarian assistance purposes for the

include:
          (1) A description of the scope of DOD humanitarian 
        assistance efforts under section 2561 of title 10,

        DOD provides support;
          (2) The process for coordinating DOD humanitarian 
        assistance efforts under section 2561 of title 10, 
        United States Code, with USAID;
          (3) An explanation of how activities under section 
        2561 of title 10, United States Code, can have 
        ancillary benefits for DOD to gain knowledge, access, 
        and understanding of host country capacity to conduct 
        humanitarian assistance missions;
          (4) An explanation of how the authority helps achieve 
        combatant command requirements;
          (5) Recommendations for modifying section 2561 of 
        title 10, United States Code, to more accurately 
        reflect the scope of DOD's use of the authority for 
        humanitarian assistance and to more clearly define the 
        humanitarian assistance objectives and purposes of the 
        authority; and
          (6) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Secretary or the Administrator.
    For the purpose of this report, the appropriate committees 
are:

comprise Operation Spartan Shield. We further note that it is 
important for Congress to understand the objectives and 
effectiveness of Operation Spartan Shield, including its

effectively captured lessons learned from the use of the

Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (ASD 
SO/LIC) and the Commander of United States Special Operations 
Command (USSOCOM) to review and update, as appropriate, written 
guidance for the use of the 127e authority. At a minimum, this 
enduring guidance should appropriately outline processes for 
obtaining Chief of Mission concurrence; reporting to the 
congressional defense committees; vetting of supported groups 
and individuals, to the extent practicable, for human rights, 
counterintelligence, force protection, and other concerns; and 
other best practices. We direct the ASD SO/LIC and the 
Commander of USSOCOM to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than 90 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, on the results of the review and 
plans for appropriately updating written guidance.

10, United States Code, and section 1202 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91). At a minimum, the briefing shall include:
          (1) How the Department evaluates the efficiency and 
        effectiveness of such programs and activities in 
        achieving desired outcomes;
          (2) An explanation of the extent to which such 
        lessons are used to improve future programs and 
        activities carried out under such authorities;
          (3) An improved assessment framework to more clearly 
        articulate how the individual programs and activities 
        are meeting the objectives of the geographical 
        combatant commander, to include the metrics used as 
        well as the process the Department uses to determine if 
        programs and activities should be continued; and

        Assistant Secretary and Commander.

provision of collective self-defense that is made within the 
Department of Defense should not be made, absent extraordinary 
circumstances, by any officer or official lower than the 
Secretary of Defense. Lastly, we believe designations of 
foreign partner forces as eligible for the provision of 
collective self-defense should be regularly reviewed by the 
Secretary of Defense to ensure these designations remain 
consistent with controlling authorities for the use of military 
force, U.S. national security interests, policy, and strategic 
objectives.
Repository of local nationals working for or on behalf of Federal 
        Government in theater of combat operations
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1046) that would 
express the sense of Congress that there are well-documented 
administrative issues with current and former Special Immigrant 
Visa (SIV) programs and would require the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of State, to establish and 
maintain a database listing all foreign nationals working for 
the U.S. Government or any contractor or subcontractor of the 
Department of Defense, the Department of State, or any other 
agency in a theater of combat operations within 1 year of 
enactment.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not contain this provision.
    We note that administrative issues such as verification of 
employment, characterization of service, personnel data, and 
biographical data needed for employment by a local national 
employee should not be a barrier for an applicant who has put 
themselves or their family at risk by providing faithful and 
valuable service in support of the U.S. Government. We further 
note that in response to section 1216 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) the 
Department of Defense, with the agreement of the Department of 
State, provided both obstacles and recommended improvements to 
the existing synchronized predeployment and operational tracker 
(SPOT) database to make it a future database of historical 
employment data for purposes of SIV processing for those 
employed under U.S. Government contracts. The recommended 
improvements could streamline the application process and 
provide independent and centralized verification that an 
applicant is indeed eligible for the program.
    We expect a follow up briefing to the 1216 report not later 
than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act by the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, on what measures will be taken within interagency and 
with industry to ensure the SPOT database can be a database of 
historical employment data for purposes of future SIV 
processing. The briefing should also: (1) Explain the process 
for transitioning, updating, or adding SPOT data fields that 
capture data required by employment verification of the SIV 
process; (2) Mechanisms for enforcing compliance of contracting 
companies to properly enter contracted personnel, specifically 
local national contracted personnel, in the updated SPOT 
database in compliance with applicable Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement and associated regulations; 
(3) Cost and time needed to transition the SPOT database so it 
can capture data necessary for employment verification of the 
SIV application; (4) Recommendations on how other Federal 
agencies may utilize the SPOT database, with exceptions for the 
Intelligence Community as necessary, as the source of 
historical employment verification under a U.S. Government 
contract for validating an individual's employment as part of 
the SIV process; (5) Feasibility of the Department of State to 
forego individual Employment Verification Letters and Letters 
of Recommendations for employment verification during the SIV 
process if the contracting company has properly filled out all 
the necessary data fields in the updated SPOT database; (6) 
Feasibility of contracting companies to generate annual 
official employment verification letters and letters of 
recommendation to local national employees for use of 
employment verification for any potential future SIV 
application; and (7) Any other matters the Secretaries may view 
as relevant.
Transfers and pay of nonappropriated fund employees
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1047) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of the date 
of the enactment of this Act, to update policies and 
procedures, as needed, to expedite inter-service transfers of 
non-appropriated fund personnel.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Consultation of congressional defense committees in preparation of 
        national defense strategy
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1050) that would 
amend section 113(g)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 
allow the Secretary of Defense to seek the advice of the 
congressional defense committees during the development of the 
national defense strategy.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that formulating defense strategy is a critical 
executive function responsibility of the Department of Defense. 
However, we believe it is important that the Secretary of 
Defense, as well as senior defense leaders, seek out a 
diversity of opinions when crafting policy, including by 
consulting with congressional defense committees.
    We further note that members serving on the congressional 
defense committees have a distinct perspective and expertise. 
For instance, members come from a myriad of backgrounds, to 
include those who have previously served in uniform, or in the 
government at the highest echelons within national security. 
Furthermore, many members travel extensively, both domestically 
and abroad. During visits to U.S. military bases and embassies, 
members may acquire views on the effectiveness of U.S. policy 
that are different from those of senior leaders serving in the 
Department. In addition, members routinely meet with 
international leaders and participate in global conferences. 
The knowledge garnered from these meetings can be critical when 
shaping future policy.
    Finally, as the elected official charged with representing 
their constituents, members will often hear directly from 
citizens on issues and concerns. This feedback can be a 
powerful input to senior leadership as they devise defense 
policy objectives and plans.
    Therefore, we expect the Secretary of Defense to seek the 
advice of the congressional defense committees during the 
development of the next national defense strategy.
Prohibition on use of funds for aerial fumigation in Colombia
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that would 
prohibit the use of Department of Defense funds to directly

    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that any Department of Defense support for 
counterdrug activities in Colombia should be compliant with 
Colombia's national and local laws and regulations.
Assessment of suicide risk at military installations
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1052) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish a procedure for 
assessing suicide risk at military installations. This 
provision would also require the Secretary of Defense, not 
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, to submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
on the strategy and procedure for assessing suicide risk at 
military installations.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the Defense Suicide Prevention Office, in 
conjunction with the military services, is already working 
diligently toward improving assessments of suicide risk at 
military installations.
Reports on hostilities involving United States Armed Forces
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1070) that would

    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that Congress has previously directed the Secretary 
of the Army to study the feasibility of equipping the Army 
National Guard with MQ-1 Gray Eagle aircraft. The committee 
report accompanying H.R. 5515 (H. Rept. 115-676) required a 
briefing on the utility, feasibility, and cost of establishing 
two MQ-1 units in the Army National Guard. The authorization of 
$350.0 million for procurement of MQ-1 Gray Eagle Extended 
Range aircraft for the Army National Guard can be found in the 
funding tables of this Act.
    We direct the Secretary of the Army to provide a report to 
the congressional defense committees not later than April 15, 
2023, on MQ-1 fielding, to include an update to the March 2019 
study on this subject and the plan to acquire and field 
aircraft funded in this legislation, assuming fiscal year 2023 
appropriations are provided.
Prioritization and acceleration of investments to attain threat matrix 
        framework level 4 capability at training ranges supporting F-35 
        operations
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1073) that 
would express the sense of the Senate that current Air Force 
training range capabilities are insufficient for advanced F-35 
training and would require the Secretary of the Air Force to 
prioritize and accelerate investments to develop and upgrade 
one or more training ranges to attain threat matrix framework 
level 4 capability, such as peer capability, not later than 
fiscal year 2026.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We agree that the current Air Force training range 
capabilities are insufficient for advanced F-35 training. We 
direct the Secretary of the Air Force to develop a plan to 
upgrade one or more Air Force training ranges to attain threat 
matrix framework level 4 capability, with a goal of achieving 
that capability not later than fiscal year 2026. The Secretary 
should provide a briefing on that plan to the congressional 
defense committees by not later than May 1, 2023.

Legislative Affairs to brief the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than

10, United States Code. The briefing should include an update 
on the progress the Department of Defense has made in 
implementing section 122a and any challenges associated with 
the implementation of the provision. The briefing should also 
address the procedures available to members of the public in 
order to request a congressional report, as well as the 
procedures and criteria under which the Secretary determines 
that a report should not be made publicly available.

Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act of 2018 (Public 
Law 115-441; 22 U.S.C. 2651 note) as being at high or medium

the United States that the Department of State, in coordination 
with the Department of Defense and the United States Agency for 
International Development, should, to the extent practicable, 
incorporate efforts to identify, prevent, and respond to the 
causes of atrocities, as required by section 3 of the Elie 
Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act of 2018 (22

following increases:

under this section should focus training on urban warfare.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

Center is to serve as a central mechanism for developing the 
irregular warfare knowledge of the Department of Defense and 
advancing the understanding of irregular warfare concepts and 
doctrine, in collaboration with key partners and allies. We 
believe the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the

Intensity Conflict should play an active role in exercising 
policy oversight of the Center to ensure its activities and 
research are coordinated with and integrated across the 
components of the Department of Defense.

be required annually and to include an assessment of the threat 
from additional Iranian-linked groups.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

on which a staffing plan for the Office of Security Cooperation 
in Iraq is completed.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

would also reduce the authorized amount for the Office of 
Security Cooperation in Iraq's activities by $10.0 million.
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment to restrict funds authorized to be appropriated for 
fiscal year 2023 for the Office of the Secretary of the Air 
Force for travel expenses, beyond 90 percent until the date on 
which a staffing plan for the Office of Security Cooperation in 
Iraq is implemented. The amended agreement includes a waiver on 
the restriction of the funds if the implementation of such a 
staffing plan is not feasible.
    We note that progress has been made by the Office of 
Security Cooperation in Iraq to move the bilateral security 
relationship between the United States and Iraq to a more 
normalized status. Notably, the Office has submitted to 
Congress a plan for such a transition. However, the plan for 
appropriate staffing to match the transition has yet to be 
provided to Congress and has not been implemented. We further 
note that delays in taking such steps may lead Congress to 
implement further restrictions on authority for funding 
activities in the future.
Sec. 1233--Extension of authority to provide assistance to vetted 
        Syrian groups and individuals
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) that would 
extend the authority granted in section 1209 of the Carl Levin 
and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization

submitted a comprehensive strategy to train and build lasting 
and sustainable military capabilities of the Iraqi Security 
Forces, including the Kurdish Peshmerga, using existing 
authorities, which may include a memorandum of understanding 
with the Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs in coordination with the 
Government of Iraq; a plan to engage the Government of Iraq and 
the Kurdistan Regional Government in security sector reform and 
strengthen and sustainably build the capacity of Iraq's 
national defense and security institutions, including the 
Kurdish Peshmerga; and a description of the current status, 
capabilities, and operational capacity of remaining Islamic 
State of Iraq and Syria elements active in Iraq and Syria.
    We further note that the submission of such a strategy and 
plan to the appropriate congressional committees by June 25, 
2022 is required by law in section 1223(f) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-
81). We note that timely submission of this strategy and plan 
is important for continued progress on U.S. regional and 
national defense priorities and critical to enabling essential 
congressional oversight of such strategy.

or any agent or instrumentality of Iran.

    The agreement includes the House provision.

        operatives abroad

require the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense to 
submit a joint report on all Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-
affiliated operatives serving in diplomatic and consular posts 
abroad and the ways in which the Departments of State and 
Defense are working with partner nations to inform them of the 
threat posed by these operatives serving in diplomatic and 
consular roles in third party countries.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with a 
clarifying amendment.
Sec. 1237--Assessment of support to Iraqi Security Forces and Kurdish 
        Peshmerga Forces to counter air and missile threats

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1229B) that 
would express the sense of Congress that the Captagon trade

transnational threat and that the United States should develop 
and implement an interagency strategy to deny, degrade, and 
dismantle Assad-linked narcotics production and trafficking 
networks.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
6039) which would also require the Secretary of State, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
the Treasury, the Administrator the Drug Enforcement 
Administration, the Director of National Intelligence, the 
Director of the Office of National Drug Policy, and the heads 
of other appropriate Federal agencies to provide a written

Nations arms embargo on Iran and its effectiveness in 
constraining Iran's ability to supply, sell, or transfer arms

    The agreement includes the House provision with clarifying 
amendments.

                 Subtitle D--Matters Relating to Russia

        Initiative
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that would 
extend by 1 year section 1250 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide security 
assistance and intelligence support to Ukraine; harmonize the 
authority with changes made in the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103) and subsequent Ukraine 
Supplemental Appropriations; allow transfers of equipment to 
replenish comparable stocks of equipment provided by allies and 
partners to Ukraine; and authorize the appropriation of $1.0 
billion for such purposes. The House bill also contained a 
provision (sec. 1236) that would authorize funds to provide 
assistance to Ukrainian military pilots and associated persons 
for training, including training on fixed-wing aircraft and 
other platforms as appropriate for air-to-air or air-to-ground 
combat.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1233).
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would extend the authority through fiscal year 
2023; harmonize the authority with changes made in the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 and subsequent Ukraine 
Supplemental Appropriations; allow transfers of equipment to 
replenish comparable stocks of equipment provided by allies and 
partners to Ukraine; and modify an element regarding the 
provision of training for Ukrainian personnel on manned and 
unmanned aerial capabilities to make clear that such assistance 
may include items and training related to fixed- and rotary-
wing aircraft such as attack, strike, airlift, and surveillance 
aircraft. The provision would also authorize the appropriation 
of $800 million for such purposes. We note that the funds 
authorized for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative via 
this Act are separate from and additive to any supplemental 
funds.
    Additionally, we note that elsewhere in this Act there is a 
requirement to provide a plan for the provision of security 
assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the short and 
medium term. We expect this report will cover Ukraine's aerial 
capability needs over that duration and the plan to build and 
improve upon such capacities.
Sec. 1242--Extension of limitation on military cooperation between the 
        United States and Russia
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1231) that would

by Russia.

1231).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would extend the prohibition for 5 years.
Sec. 1243--Modification to annual report on military and security 
        developments involving the Russian Federation

require the Secretary of Defense to submit an assessment of the 
strategic, operational, and organizational strengths and 
weaknesses of the Russian strategy for invasion and occupation

Developments Involving the Russian Federation to include the 
impact of sanctions; and require a report on lessons learned 
from Russia's further invasion of Ukraine.

    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would modify the Annual Report on Military and 
Security Developments Involving the Russian Federation to 
include the impact of sanctions on improvements to the Russian

capture lessons learned from assistance to Ukraine and to 
carefully study the conflict as an example of modern 
battlefield conditions with a participating major state 
competitor. We note the importance of such efforts for U.S. 
planning and preparation for potential future contingencies.
Sec. 1244--Temporary authorizations related to Ukraine and other 
        matters

would provide temporary authorizations related to Ukraine and 
address other Department of Defense acquisition matters.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.

    We recognize that the Department of Defense (DOD) would 
benefit from temporary acquisition flexibilities to increase 
the Department's stocks of critical munitions, provide material 
and related services to allies and partners that have supported 
Ukraine, and provide material and services to Ukraine. We also 
support enabling the Secretary of Defense to enter into 
cooperative acquisition agreements through the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization (NATO) Support and Procurement 
Organization. Finally, we believe providing multi-year 
procurement authority for certain munitions programs is 
essential to increase the Department's stocks of such 
munitions, improve warfighting readiness, provide the defense 
industrial base with predictable production opportunities and 
firm contractual commitments, ensure consistent funding across 
the Department's Future Years Defense Program, increase and 
expand defense industrial capacity, and coordinate the timing 
and funding for capital expenditures with defense contractors.
    We direct the head of an agency, as defined in this 
section, to notify in writing the congressional defense 
committees not more than 30 days after using an authority 
provided in subsections (a) or (c) of this section. This 
notification shall include the specific authority used, a 
description of such use, reason for such use, and expected 
outcome of such use.

extend by 1 year the prohibition imposed by section 1245 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public 
Law 114-92) on the use of fiscal year 2023 funds to implement 
any activity that recognizes the sovereignty of Russia over 
Crimea. This section would also allow the Secretary of Defense 
to waive the prohibition if the Secretary determines that doing 
so would be in the national security interest of the United 
States and submits notification to Congress.
    The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
1232, 6232, and 6234).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would expand the prohibition to cover all 
territory internationally recognized to be the sovereign 
territory of Ukraine, including Crimea and the territory Russia 
falsely claims to have annexed in Kherson Oblast, Zaporizhzhia 
Oblast, Donetsk Oblast, and Luhansk Oblast.
Sec. 1246--Report on Department of Defense plan for the provision of 
        short and medium-term security assistance to Ukraine

amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the heads of other relevant Federal agencies,

Armed Forces of Ukraine in the short and medium term.
Sec. 1247--Oversight of United States assistance to Ukraine

and end-use monitoring related to the U.S. Government's 
response to Russia's further invasion of Ukraine.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would express the sense of Congress on 
oversight, transparency, accountability, and end-use monitoring 
efforts. It would also require a comprehensive assessment of 
the oversight arrangements established with respect to United 
States assistance to Ukraine, including the organizational 
framework the Inspectors General are using or planning to adopt 
for oversight; whether there are any gaps in oversight; any 
failures by relevant organizations to cooperate with oversight; 
the oversight footprint in Europe; and relevant lessons 
learned.
    We direct the Inspector General of the Department of 
Defense to provide the congressional defense committees, not 
later than March 1, 2023, with a comprehensive briefing on the 
status and findings of Inspector General oversight, reviews, 
audits, and inspections of the activities conducted by the 
Department of Defense responds to Russia's further invasion of 
Ukraine.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense, not later than March 1, 
2023, to provide the congressional defense committees with a 
briefing on efforts to conduct end-use monitoring and 
accountability measures for defense articles provided to 
Ukraine, including: Department of Defense efforts to work with 
partners and allies to enhance accountability and end-use 
monitoring; efforts to prevent illicit distribution or use of 
such articles; and any gaps in personnel, resourcing, or 
technologies to facilitate these efforts. The briefing shall 
also include a discussion of any relevant lessons learned from 
accountability and end-use monitoring of U.S. assistance in 
Ukraine for assistance to U.S. partners in potential future 
conflicts, and a discussion of the applicability of past 
accountability and end-use monitoring lessons learned for 
assistance to Ukraine.

through the Quad's Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness 
Initiative.

apologized for committing such genocide, and engaged in a 
credible justice and accountability process for all victims of 
such genocide prior to lifting the prohibition on China's 
participation in the Rim of the Pacific naval exercises.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would make clarifying changes.
Sec. 1254--Extension and modification of Pacific Deterrence Initiative
    The House bill contained provisions (secs. 1305 and 1307) 
that would amend section 1251 of the William M. (Mac) 
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021 (Public Law 116-283) related to the Pacific Deterrence 
Initiative (PDI) and the independent assessment of the 
Commander of United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM).
    The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1306) that 
would require a report by the Commander of USINDOPACOM 
describing the support and sustainment for critical 
capabilities in the USINDOPACOM area of responsibility that are 
necessary to meet operational requirements in a conflict with a 
strategic competitor of a duration that exceeds six months.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1241) that would extend and modify the PDI.
    The agreement includes a provision that would combine 
relevant portions of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives provisions and make other clarifying and 
conforming changes.
    We direct the Commander of USINDOPACOM, as part of the 
briefing on the Commander's independent assessment, to provide:
          (1) An assessment of the feasibility and advisability 
        of enhancing defense cooperation with allies and 
        partners in the Indo-Pacific; and
          (2) A description of the support and sustainment for 
        critical capabilities in the USINDOPACOM area of 
        responsibility that are necessary to meet operational 
        requirements in a conflict with a strategic competitor 
        of a duration that exceeds six months.
    We reiterate our strong support for the PDI as means to 
prioritize Department of Defense efforts in support of 
enhancing U.S. deterrence and defense posture, reassuring 
allies and partners, and increasing readiness and capability in 
the Indo-Pacific region, primarily west of the International 
Date Line. The budgetary display below captures investments 
included in this Act that support the objectives of the PDI.

to military and security forces in the area of responsibility

    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note the continuing security challenges in the AFRICOM 
area of responsibility posed by metastasizing violent extremist 
organizations affiliated with ISIS and al-Qaeda. We also note 
that current implementation of authorities available to the 
Secretary of Defense to provide support to African partners to 
address these security challenges can be inefficient when 
seeking to address emergent and time-sensitive requirements. We 
believe that a flexible and responsive approach to security 
cooperation also supports stability and governance, while 
limiting the influence of competitors like China and Russia, 
particularly in Africa.
    Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the AFRICOM Commander, to conduct an 
assessment on the adequacy of authorities available to the 
Secretary for the purpose of providing support, including 
training, equipment, supplies and services, facility and 
infrastructure repair and renovation, and sustainment, to 
military and other security forces of governments in the area 
of responsibility of AFRICOM that are actively engaged in 
defending their territory and people from the threat posed by 
ISIS and al-Qaeda, and associated violent extremist 
organizations.
    The assessment shall, at a minimum:
          (1) Identify any gaps in existing authorities and 
        associated resourcing that would inhibit the ability of 
        the Secretary to pursue AFRICOM theater campaign plan 
        objectives, including the ability to respond to 
        emergent and time-sensitive requirements;
          (2) Assess existing policies, procedures, and 
        associated timelines used by the Department of Defense 
        to identify, validate, resource, and deliver support in 
        the AFRICOM area of responsibility;
          (3) Assess the adequacy of such policies, procedures, 
        and associated timelines for the provision of support 
        to address emergent and time-sensitive challenges;
          (4) Identify opportunities to streamline or otherwise 
        modify existing policies, procedures, and associated 
        timelines to expedite the delivery of such support in 
        the AFRICOM area of responsibility, as appropriate; and
          (5) Any other matters the Secretary deems relevant.
    The findings of the required assessment shall be submitted 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives not later than March 30, 2023.

war continues.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.

the conflict between both countries has been, and remains, 
completely unacceptable. We emphatically urge the parties to 
the conflict to adhere to their commitment under the agreement, 
including respect for each other's sovereignty, territorial 
integrity, and the inviolability of borders. We urge the 
parties to the conflict to refrain from the use of force and 
threats to use force and redouble efforts toward a diplomatic 
resolution to the conflict.

return of 17 prisoners of war (POW) from Azerbaijan to Armenia. 
Continued detention of POWs in violation of the laws of war and 
international commitments is unacceptable. We call upon the 
parties to abide by their commitments to return all POWs and 
immediately release all captured civilians.
    We call on the United States to engage at all levels with 
parties to the conflict, including through the Organization for 
Security and Co-operation in Europe Minsk Group process, to 
make clear the importance of adhering to international 
obligations and commitments.

section 1343 of the House bill is already required in statute 
by section 1302 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81). The report was due 180

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Cyber threat information collaboration environment program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1504) that would 
direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with 
the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National 
Intelligence, acting through the Director of the National 
Security Agency (NSA), to develop an information collaboration 
environment to enable government and industry to better 
identify, mitigate, and prevent malicious cyber activity 
through shared understanding of cyber threats and events. The 
collaboration environment would provide limited access to 
appropriate operationally relevant data about cybersecurity 
risks and cybersecurity threats, including malware forensics 
and data from network sensor programs, on a platform that 
enables query and analysis.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    However, we note that the need for government and private 
sector stakeholders to be able to share and consume 
cybersecurity-related information on a single platform, or at 
least achieve interoperability across the information 
technology systems used for situational awareness and threat 
assessment, remains as urgent as ever. While we believe that 
the lead for this effort ought to reside within the Department 
of Homeland Security (DHS), there remains an important role for 
Department of Defense components and entities such as the NSA. 
Noting that there may be related efforts that DHS' 
Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is 
currently exploring with federal partners, we direct the 
Director of NSA, in consultation with the Director of CISA, not 
later than April 30th, 2023, to conduct a study and brief the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on how Department of Defense components and 
entities, such as the NSA, can support the development of the 
environment envisioned by the House provision. Additionally, 
the study shall assess how NSA can technically and materially 
support the current nascent efforts at CISA, and report to the 
committees with a detailed analysis of: (1) The expertise, 
policies, and resources required to support the development, 
deployment, operation, security, and maintenance of a 
collaboration environment; (2) The classified and unclassified 
platforms, systems, and processes currently employed by the 
Department of Defense for information sharing across the 
Department, with interagency partners, and with the private 
sector, and a determination of how such tools and platforms can 
be leveraged by CISA and the wider interagency; (3) A cost 
estimate for a collaboration environment based on the 
aforementioned elements of the assessment; and (4) Any other 
matter as determined by the NSA Director.

        products and services
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1505) that would

external nature of Department operations in the information 
environment.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the agreement includes provisions to enhance 
oversight of Department operations in the information 
environment, including both military information support 
operations and cyberspace operations. However, we are concerned 
that there is not yet sufficient clarity on how the Department 
of Defense plans, executes, mans, trains, and equips for 
electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO).
    We therefore direct the Department to submit to the 
congressional defense committees not later than 180 days 
following the enactment of this Act a briefing outlining, with 
respect to EMSO: (1) The authorities governing operational 
activities; (2) The level of delegation of those authorities in 
various operational scenarios; (3) Coordination and integration 
of EMSO activities with other operations in the information and 
other domains; (4) Stakeholders and equities with regard to 
EMSO doctrine and employment; and (5) Metrics and other 
mechanisms for evaluation of activity effectiveness, oversight, 
and development of future concepts of operations. As part of 
this briefing, the Department should provide current 
operational vignettes illustrative of the full lifecycle of 
electromagnetic spectrum operations.
Consistency in delegation of certain authorities relating to 
        information operations

National Security Space Launch program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would 
express the sense of Congress regarding the acquisition 
approach for phase three of the National Security Space Launch 
(NSSL) program, and would require quarterly briefings to the 
appropriate committees on the development of the phase three 
acquisition strategy. The section would also require that the 
Commander of Space Systems Command notify the defense and 
intelligence committees following completion of mission 
assignment boards for phase two of the NSSL program.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1505) that requires phase two launch providers to meet Federal 
requirements with respect to payloads and orbits.
    The agreement does not include these provisions.
    We note the continued importance of assured access to 
space, and believe that in carrying out phase two of the 
acquisition strategy for the National Security Space Launch 
program, the Secretary of the Air Force should ensure that 
launch services are procured only from launch service providers 
that use launch vehicles meeting Federal requirements with 
respect to required payloads to reference orbits. With regard 
to phase two, we direct that during fiscal year 2023, the 
Commander of Space System Command provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees not later than 14 days 
following completion of a mission assignment board on the 
assignments made during the covered period.
    Regarding phase three, we are encouraged by the work 
completed to date by the Space Systems Command in developing an 
acquisition strategy for phase three of the National Security 
Space Launch program. As the phase three acquisition strategy 
continues to be refined, we believe that:
          (1) The acquisition approach for phase three of the 
        National Security Space Launch program should account 
        for changes in the launch industry;
          (2) The supply of launches for phase three may be 
        impacted by increases in commercial space launch 
        demand;
          (3) The Secretary of the Air Force should explore new 
        and innovative acquisition approaches to leverage 
        launch competition within the commercial market; and
          (4) In developing the acquisition strategy for phase 
        three, the Secretary should--
                  (a) consider the scope of phase three 
                manifest requirements in comparison to the 
                Orbital Services Program and other potential 
                contract vehicles for launches;
                  (b) ensure the continued assured access to 
                space;
                  (c) emphasize free, fair, and open 
                competition;
                  (d) capitalize on competition across the 
                commercial launch industry;
                  (e) examine all possible options for awarding 
                contracts for launches during the period 
                covered by the phase, including: block buys; 
                indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity; or a 
                hybrid approach;
                  (f) consider tailorable mission assurance 
                options informed by previous launch vehicle 
                performance metrics;
                  (g) include options for adding launch 
                providers, launch systems, or both, during the 
                execution of phase three to address manifest 
                changes beyond the planned national security 
                space unique launches at the time of initial 
                award;
                  (h) maintain understanding of the commercial 
                launch industry and launch capacity needed to 
                fulfill the requirements of the National 
                Security Space Launch program; and
                  (i) allow for rapid development and on-orbit 
                deployment of enabling and transformational 
                technologies required to address emerging 
                requirements, including with respect to--
                          (i) Delivery of in-space 
                        transportation, logistics, and on-orbit 
                        servicing capabilities to enhance the 
                        persistence, sensitivity, and 
                        resiliency of national security space 
                        missions in a contested space 
                        environment;
                          (ii) Proliferated Low Earth orbit 
                        constellation deployment;
                          (iii) Routine access to extended 
                        orbits beyond geostationary orbits, 
                        including cislunar orbits;
                          (iv) Payload fairings that exceed 
                        current launch requirements;
                          (v) Increased responsiveness for 
                        heavy lift capability;
                          (vi) The ability to transfer orbits, 
                        including point-to-point orbital 
                        transfers;
                          (vii) Capacity and capability to 
                        execute secondary deployments;
                          (viii) High-performance upper stages;
                          (ix) Vertical integration; and
                          (x) Other new missions that are 
                        outside the parameters of the nine 
                        design reference missions that exist as 
                        of the date of the enactment of this 
                        Act.
    To ensure that the congressional defense committees remain 
aware of phase three acquisition strategy progress, we direct 
that not later than 90 days after date of enactment, and 
quarterly through fiscal year 2023, the Commander of Space 
Systems Command brief the congressional defense and 
intelligence committees on the development of the phase three 
acquisition strategy, including how the matters described above 
are being considered in such strategy.
Sense of the Senate and briefing on nuclear cooperation between the 
        United States and the United Kingdom
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1517) that 
would express the sense of the Senate that the independent 
nuclear deterrents of the United States, the United Kingdom, 
and the French Republic are the supreme guarantee of the 
security of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The 
provision would further express the sense of the Senate that 
the United States and the United Kingdom face similar 
challenges in modernizing their aging nuclear deterrents and 
that continued nuclear cooperation between the United States 
and the United Kingdom is in the national security interests of 
the United States. Finally, the provision would also require a 
briefing on opportunities to further enhance and strengthen the 
bilateral partnership between the nuclear enterprises of the 
United States and the United Kingdom.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We believe the following:
          (1) The United States strategic nuclear deterrent, 
        and the independent strategic nuclear deterrents of the 
        United Kingdom and the French Republic, are the supreme 
        guarantee of the security of the NATO alliance and 
        continue to underwrite peace and security for all 
        members of the NATO alliance;
          (2) The security of the NATO alliance also relies 
        upon nuclear sharing arrangements that predate, and are 
        fully consistent with, the Treaty on the Non-
        Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, 
        London, and Moscow on July 1, 1968, and entered into 
        force on March 5, 1970 (commonly referred to as the 
        ``Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty'');
          (3) Such arrangements provide for the forward 
        deployment of United States nuclear weapons in Europe, 
        along with the supporting capabilities, infrastructure, 
        and dual-capable aircraft dedicated to the delivery of 
        United States nuclear weapons, provided by European 
        NATO allies;
          (4) In parallel to the independent commitments of the 
        United States and the United Kingdom to the enduring 
        security of NATO, the nuclear programs of the United 
        States and the United Kingdom have enjoyed significant 
        collaborative benefits as a result of the cooperative 
        relationship formalized in the Agreement for 
        Cooperation on the Uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual 
        Defense Purposes, signed at Washington on July 3, 1958, 
        and entered into force on August 4, 1958, between the 
        United States and the United Kingdom (commonly referred 
        to as the ``Mutual Defense Agreement'');
          (5) The unique partnership between the United States 
        and the United Kingdom has enhanced sovereign military 
        and scientific capabilities, strengthened bilateral 
        ties, and resulted in the sharing of costs;
          (6) As the international security environment 
        deteriorates and potential adversaries expand and 
        enhance their nuclear forces, the extended deterrence 
        commitments of the United Kingdom play an increasingly 
        important role in supporting the security interests of 
        the United States and allies of the United States and 
        the United Kingdom;
          (7) Additionally, the extension of the nuclear 
        deterrence commitments of the United Kingdom to members 
        of the NATO alliance strengthens collective security 
        while reducing the burden placed on United States 
        nuclear forces to deter potential adversaries and 
        assure allies of the United States;
          (8) It is in the national security interest of the 
        United States to support the United Kingdom with 
        respect to the decision of the Government of the United 
        Kingdom to maintain its nuclear forces to deter 
        countries that are ``significantly increasing and 
        diversifying their nuclear arsenals'' and ``investing 
        in novel nuclear technologies and developing new 
        `warfighting' nuclear systems'' that could threaten 
        NATO allies, as outlined in the March 2021 report of 
        the Government of the United Kingdom entitled, ``Global 
        Britain in a Competitive Age: The Integrated Review of 
        Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy'';
          (9) As the United States continues to modernize its 
        aging nuclear forces to ensure its ability to continue 
        to field a nuclear deterrent that is safe, secure, and 
        effective, the United Kingdom faces a similar 
        challenge;
          (10) Bilateral cooperation on such programs as the 
        Trident II D5 weapons system, the common missile 
        compartment for the future Dreadnought and Columbia 
        classes of submarines, and the parallel development of 
        the W93/Mk7 warhead of the United States and the 
        replacement warhead of the United Kingdom, will allow 
        the United States and the United Kingdom to responsibly 
        address challenges within their legacy nuclear forces 
        in a cost-effective manner that preserves independent, 
        sovereign control; is consistent with each country's 
        obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty; 
        and supports nonproliferation objectives; and
          (11) Continued cooperation between the nuclear 
        programs of United States and the United Kingdom is 
        essential to ensuring that the NATO alliance continues

Technical amendment to additional report matters on strategic delivery 
        systems
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1530) that 
would make technical corrections to section 495(b) of title 10, 
United States Code.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Sense of Congress on Range of the Future and support to commercial 
        space launch activity
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1608) that would 
express the sense of Congress on the Range of the Future 
initiative and encourage further interagency collaboration on 
options to improve the infrastructure at Department of Defense 
launch ranges and spaceports.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We believe the following:
          (1) Section 1610 of the National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-
        81) contained a provision requiring the United States 
        Space Force to deliver a report on its Range of the 
        Future initiative;
          (2) Based on the details in that report, that the 
        Nation's launch service providers, consistent with 
        decades of national policy, now lead the world in space 
        access, that United States leadership in this strategic 
        capability is critical to national security and 
        economic vitality, and that it is critical to the 
        Nation to continue encouraging and enabling United 
        States space access capabilities to flourish and 
        expand;
          (3) The rapid growth of the commercial launch 
        industry places a growing demand on Department of 
        Defense resources at Federal space launch ranges, and 
        that this demand growth will continue for the 
        foreseeable future;
          (4) The 1960s-era infrastructure of the two 
        Department of Defense launch ranges primarily 
        responsible for meeting its assured access to space 
        mission under section 2273 of title 10, United States 
        Code, and complying with section 2276 of such title, is 
        under increasing strain, and needs to be replaced with 
        a modern, state of the art launch infrastructure that 
        encourages and enables continued growth and leadership 
        in space access;
          (5) Maintenance of common use critical infrastructure 
        like roads, culverts, bridges, deluge and water 
        treatment facilities, supply lines, and electrical 
        networks, among others, require immediate attention;
          (6) Investments in infrastructure have not kept pace 
        with commercial demand primarily due to existing 
        authorities which limit reimbursement, flexible 
        financial investment facilities, and reinvestment of 
        revenue in spaceport sustainment, modernization, and 
        growth;
          (7) The burgeoning commercial space industry requires 
        a more holistic, responsive process leveraging public 
        and private investment;
          (8) The Department of Defense is constrained to 
        provide services to commercial users only when not 
        needed for public use, yet at the same time mustpromote 
        commercial space launch capabilities as a critical 
        enabler to national security;
          (9) The United States Space Force has made great use 
        of existing authorities and those provided by other 
        non-Federal entities to leverage other sources of 
        commercial and State investment to keep pace with 
        demand;
          (10) A similar State business development entity 
        would be useful for supporting commercial space launch 
        capability development in California at Vandenberg 
        Space Force Base and other spaceports, and Congress 
        looks forward to assisting the Department of Defense in 
        improving its ability to plan and support commercial 
        innovation while continuing to provide world class 
        launch and test facilities; and
          (11) The Secretary of Defense and the Department 
        should engage with all stakeholders, including National 
        Aeronautics and Space Administration, other relevant 
        Federal agencies, and the associated congressional 
        authorizing committees of jurisdiction, in any 
        reporting, negotiation, policy, and potential 
        legislative proposals on this matter.

Report on radiation hardened, thermally insensitive telescopes for SM-3 
        interceptor
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1653) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director 
of the Missile Defense Agency, to submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report on radiation hardened, thermally 
insensitive telescopes for the SM-3 interceptor.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense, acting through the 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency, not later than March

Sense of the Senate on personnel for the Space Development Agency
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6501) that 
would express the sense of the Senate that as the Space 
Development Agency (SDA) transfers into the United States Space 
Force in October 2022, the SDA should retain the original 
organization structure including three Senior Executive Service 
(SES) positions.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We understand that that the Space Development Agency, (SDA) 
which transferred to the Space Force on October 1, 2022, will 
retain three Senior Executive Service (SES) Branch positions 
from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) that are 
term-limited ending on December 31, 2023. After December 31, 
2023, these three SES billets will return to the pool of SES 
positions held by the OSD. As found in section 1601 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public 
Law 116-283), which effectuated this transfer, the Congress was 
explicit to the Department of Defense to do no harm in the 
transfer given the no-fail mission entrusted to the SDA for 
missile warning to protect the homeland. Section 1601(d)(2) 
states that ``the transfer under paragraph (1) [requiring the 
transfer to be not later than October 1, 2022] of the Space 
Development Agency from the Office of the Secretary of Defense 
to the Space Force shall include the transfer of funding, 
duties, responsibilities and personnel of the Agency as of the 
day before the date of transfer.'' In addition, the conference 
report to section 1601 (House Report 116-617) states that the 
congress expects that the director of the SDA ``to retain the 
equivalent position of tier 3 Senior Executive Service or an 
official of the Armed Forces in grade O-9.'' Overall, the 
Department of Defense historically only fills around 85 percent 
of total SES allocations, while the Space Force has a total of 
16 SES permanent positions.
    Therefore, we strongly encourage the Secretary of Defense 
to permanently allocate three SES positions to the SDA to meet 
congressional intent as found in section 1601 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. We direct the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of the 
Air Force, to brief to the congressional defense committees not 
later than March 31, 2023, on efforts to ensure the SDA has 
three SES positions that are permanent and do not count against 
the 16 SES positions currently held by the Space Force.
Assessment of readiness and survivability of strategic forces of the 
        United States
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 8102) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Commander of the United 
States Strategic Command, to submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report on the readiness and survivability 
of the strategic forces of the United States, including 
recommendations for improving such readiness and survivability.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Commander of

    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would require the independent assessment focus 
on the process used to develop Total Munitions Requirement 
under 10 USC 222c for certain munitions, including, (1) The 
sufficiency of the requirement and how views from the combatant 
commands are incorporated; (2) Whether partner or allied 
contributions are represented; (3) The consideration of 
protracted warfare scenarios or potential simultaneous 
conflicts; and (4) The degree to which elements of 10 USC 
222c(c) are appropriate functional categories, in addition to 
any other recommendations that could be beneficial to the 
overall implementation of 10 USC 222c.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

chains.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Out-Year Unconstrained Total Munitions Requirement, Out-Year inventory 
        numbers, and critical munitions reserve
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1706) that would 
modify an existing reporting requirement to shift 
responsibility for reporting total unconstrained munitions 
requirement figures from the chiefs of staff of the military 
services to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment and modify the required elements of such reporting 
requirement, as well as the implementation guidance used to 
generate munitions requirements. The provision would also 
require the Under Secretary to establish a critical munitions 
reserve for each critical munitions program and provide 
quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees on 
such reserves. Finally, the provision would require the Under 
Secretary to provide an initial report to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, on the progress of the Under Secretary 
in establishing the required reserves.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Identification of subcontractors for critical munitions contracts
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1707) that would 
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment to carry out a pilot program to identify 
subcontractors for critical munitions contracts.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the matters raised in this provision are 
addressed elsewhere in this Act.
Study on stockpiles and production of critical guided munitions
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1708) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the rate 
of depletion expected for certain critical munitions in a 
large-scale conflict scenario at various levels of intensity, 
detail certain required elements of such study, and require the 
Secretary to provide to the congressional defense committees a 
report and briefing on the study.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Ukraine Critical Munitions Acquisition Fund
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1709) that would 
establish a revolving fund to be known as the ``Ukraine 
Critical Munitions Acquisition Fund.''
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that elsewhere in this Act, we include legislative 
provisions and funding recommendations that are intended to 
help the Department of Defense (DOD) increase munitions 
productions and expand the industrial base to better adjust to 
demand in stressing conditions. However, we note the challenges 
in balancing DOD needs and forecasting additional foreign 
demands for US-made munitions. The current situation with 
support to Ukraine highlights the impact exceedingly long 
timelines associated with foreign military sales (FMS) can have 
in an active warfighting situation. We recognize a revolving 
fund that forward finances munitions for which FMS cases are 
likely to help alleviate this problem by creating a requirement 
ahead of FMS cases such that many munitions could be already in 
production or delivered when a Letter of Offer and Acceptance 
(LOA) is signed. Since such sales would still be subject to 
significant congressional oversight, this would also help DOD 
smooth production over time while maintaining adequate 
congressional levers to ensure good stewardship of the 
taxpayers' dollars.
    Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing not later than 150 days after the enactment of this 
Act to the congressional defense committees on the feasibility 
and advisability of establishing mechanisms to procure in an 
expedited fashion munitions in advance of the establishment of 
a formal requirement, whether for the use of U.S. forces or for 
other purposes, including sale to foreign partners or allies. 
This briefing shall include the following elements:
          (1) A description of the current process of munitions 
        requirements generation and programming for munitions 
        by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint 
        Staff and the military departments, including 
        identification of any obstacles or impediments that add 
        excessively to the timeline for production or provision 
        of such munitions to partners and allies;
          (2) A description of the current process and average 
        timeline for implementing signed LOAs resulting from 
        the FMS process;
          (3) An estimate of the anticipated demand from non-US 
        countries for US-made munitions through 2035;
          (4) A discussion of whether US Total Munitions 
        Requirements should account for protracted warfare;
          (5) An estimate of the extent to which creation of 
        munitions purchase requirements ahead of formal 
        agreement and production of munitions before LOAs are 
        signed would enable the United States to meet FMS 
        demand more quickly and serve US interests;
          (6) A discussion of whether US Total Munitions 
        Requirement (TMR) requirements should account for 
        potential future drawdowns or other stockpiling 
        requirements;
          (7) Recommendations on methods, processes, 
        methodologies, tools or other mechanisms that could be 
        used to streamline the requirements and acquisition 
        process to substantially drive down the time and cost 
        associated with munitions production.

            DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS

Sec. 2001--Short title

cite division D of this Act as the ``Military Construction 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023''.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
2001).
    The agreement includes the House provision.
Sec. 2002--Expiration of authorizations and amounts required to be 
        specified by law
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2002) that would 
ensure that the authorizations provided in titles XXI through

2002).
    The agreement includes this provision.
    We note that contained in the 4601 tables are additional 
funds to support unfunded requirements for exercise-related 
unspecified minor military construction. We are concerned that 
the Department of Defense does not have long-term plans for 
exercise-related unspecified minor military construction as it 
pertains to the Indo-Pacific and European theater exercises. We 
believe that better budgeting and execution for such projects 
will better situate the Department. We direct the Secretary of 
Defense, in consultation with the Commander, Indo-Pacific 
Command and Commander, European Command, to provide a 3-year 
plan for each combatant command for exercise-related 
unspecified minor military construction not later than February 
1, 2023, to the congressional defense committee.

    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
2101).
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with a 
technical amendment.
    We note that contained in the 4601 tables are additional 
funding wedges to support rising inflation and market 
conditions. We further note that as this additional funding is 
provided by service and component, not by individual projects, 
specific project location authorization amounts may not total 
the same amount for the respective projects contained in the 
4601 tables.
Sec. 2102--Family housing
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2102) that would 
authorize new construction, improvements, and planning and

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that Chapter 169 of title 10, United States Code,

Privatization of Army Lodging in 2009 and has indicated cost 
avoidance of $605.8 million since inception and $85.2 million 
annually with better quality of facilities and higher customer 
satisfaction. However, according to the Government 
Accountability Office's (GAO) report published on June 9, 2021, 
titled ``Military Lodging: DOD Should Provide Congress with 
More Information on Army's Privatization and Better Guidance to 
the Military Services'' (GAO-21-214), found that the Army may 
be overstating its cost avoidance due to the methodology it 
uses to calculate said cost avoidance leaving in question if 
the reported financial benefits of privatization have actually 
been achieved.
    Therefore, we direct the Secretary of the Navy and the 
Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees by not later than December 1, 
2023, as to the anticipated steady state cost avoidance that 
could be anticipated if a lodging privatization effort were 
adopted, any barriers to implementing, and any impact to 
traveling servicemembers. The methodology to calculate any cost 
avoidance should take into account GAO's concerns over the 
Army's existing process and address how and if the cost 
avoidance metrics are impacted.

would require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees on the construction by

future plans for the introduction of additional military and 
supporting nonmilitary capabilities on the island.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We believe that the successful implementation of future 
Department of Defense (DOD) force laydown plans for Guam must 
account for the additional demands on local infrastructure that 
such personnel and equipment increases will levy. Additionally, 
we strongly encourage the Department of Defense to examine 
existing policies and procedures for addressing unexploded 
ordnance that may be uncovered during excavation and site 
preparation for future DOD facilities and equipment. The 
Department should ensure such policies and procedures support 
the urgency of force emplacement activities and do not 
unnecessarily delay U.S. Indo-Pacific Command force posture 
adjustments on the island or impose overly burdensome 
requirements on planned programs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
not later than 30 days after submitting the Defense of Guam 
Draft Environmental Impact Statement for public comment, to 
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees on 
DOD plans for updating and expanding the capacity of existing 
Guamanian infrastructure to support U.S. forces and facilities 
required for the defense of Guam. Such brief should address, at 
a minimum:
          (1) Improvements to the island's existing electrical 
        power grid and electric power generation capabilities 
        to satisfy the expected increase in DOD power 
        requirements;
          (2) Opportunities for increasing energy resilience 
        for Department of Defense equipment and facilities;
          (3) Options to expedite the removal of unexploded 
        ordinance during construction;
          (4) Enhancements to potable water supplies and sewer 
        systems to sustain expected increases in DOD personnel;
          (5) Needed roadway rehabilitation efforts and 
        enhancements to support increased traffic and heavy 
        equipment movements;
          (6) Commercial airport and seaport rehabilitation and 
        capacity expansion projects to improve logistical 
        effectiveness and efficiency;
          (7) Timelines for completion and anticipated phasing 
        for associated projects; and
          (8) Other topics the Secretary deems appropriate to 
        include.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters

Sec. 3131--Modification to certain reporting requirements
    The House bill contained provisions (secs. 3112 and 3114) 
that would amend section 4223 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act 
(50 U.S.C. 2538e) to expand and modify certain reporting and 
certification requirements for the W93 nuclear weapon to 
include other new or modified nuclear weapons. Section 3114 
would also amend section 3136 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (42 U.S.C. 2077a) to 
consolidate certain annual reporting requirements relating to 
transfers of civil nuclear technology.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include House provision section 
3112, but the agreement does include House provision section 
3114 with an amendment that would clarify the Secretary of 
Energy should not interpret the amended language of 42 U.S.C. 
2077a(i) as requiring the cited reports to be only submitted 
once annually, but rather as needed and no less frequently than 
once annually.
    Regarding section 3112, we note that the Senate report 
accompanying S. 4543 (S. Rept. 117-130) of the James M. Inhofe 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 
contains direction to the Administrator for Nuclear Security, 
in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment and the Vice Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff, to conduct an unconstrained review of the 
Phase X Process, including associated Department of Defense 
processes, such as military requirements development, and to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than May 1, 2023. We believe that the acquisition 
processes for new and modified nuclear weapons should be 
holistically updated as soon as practicable to reflect modern 
requirements, technologies, and reporting and oversight 
capabilities, a belief reflected in the William M. (Mac) 
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021's (Public Law 116-283) inclusion of specific reporting and 
certification requirements for the W93 program. To best inform 
updates that will undoubtedly follow in future bills, we 
strongly encourage the above-named officials to exhaustively 
examine existing processes and provide fulsome, timely 
recommendations to the committees as directed by the Committee 
on Armed Services of the Senate's report.
Sec. 3132--Repeal of obsolete provisions of the Atomic Energy Defense 
        Act and other provisions
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3131) that 
would amend the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2501 et 
seq.) by removing outdated reporting and briefing requirements, 
among other things.
    The House contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Plutonium pit production capacity
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3111) that would 
require the Secretary of Energy to produce 30 war reserve 
plutonium pits at Los Alamos National Laboratory and 50 war 
reserve plutonium pits at the Savannah River Plutonium 
Processing Facility (SRPPF). It would also require the 
Secretary of Defense to annually notify and justify its 
requirement for plutonium pit production and for the Secretary 
of Energy to certify that it is able to meet the requirement of 
the Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained provisions (secs. 1524, 
1528, and 1529) that would limit the funds authorized for 
fiscal year 2023 for the Office of the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment until the plan required 
by section 2538a(a) of title 50, United States Code, is 
submitted. The provision would also require certain reporting 
from the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council, and would 
remove outdated reporting and briefing requirements included in 
section 3120 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) and 
would extend the annual certification requirement to 2029, 
among other things.
    The agreement does not include these provisions.
    We note the significant challenges that the Department of 
Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 
have experienced in attempting to reestablish a plutonium pit 
production capability over the past two decades. Reestablishing 
basic nuclear weapons development and production capabilities 
is of paramount importance to the national security of the 
United States and its allies. During testimony before the 
Committee on Armed Services of the Senate on May 4, 2022, the 
Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Christopher 
Grady, articulated the military requirement, stating, ``The 
military requirement is clear, 80 pits per year as soon as 
possible. If not by 2030, then as soon as possible after 
that.'' Since the closure of the Rocky Flats Plant in 1992, the 
United States has tried and failed on three prior occasions to 
restore its ability to produce plutonium pits for the 
maintenance and modernization of its nuclear weapons stockpile. 
The current two-site solution for Los Alamos National 
Laboratory (LANL) and the Savannah River Plutonium Pit 
Processing Facility (SRPPF) represents the fourth, and most 
advanced, attempt.
    While we recognize the progress NNSA has made in maturing 
and advancing the current two-site solution, and appreciate 
NNSA's stated commitment to produce no fewer than 80 war 
reserve plutonium pits per year as close to 2030 as possible, 
we remain deeply concerned that these projects are not expected 
to meet statutory requirements. The schedule risk of the 
plutonium pit production projects has been widely acknowledged. 
According to a review of SRPPF by NNSA (Critical Decision (CD)-
1 Independent Project Review (IPR): Savannah River Plutonium 
Processing Facility (SRPPF), March 15, 2021), the facility will 
not be ready to produce 50 war reserve pits until at least 
2036, 6 years after it is needed to meet the current statutory 
deadline to produce 80 war reserve plutonium pits by 2030. In 
testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate 
on March 9, 2022, Admiral Charles Richard, Commander of U.S. 
Strategic Command, confirmed that ``we now know we will not get 
80 pits per year by 2030, as is statutorily required. And even 
unlimited money at this point will not buy that back.''
    It is imperative that the Nuclear Weapons Council develop 
plans for supporting ongoing nuclear weapons modernization 
programs that realistically reflect NNSA's capability to 
achieve plutonium pit production requirements. Accordingly, we 
direct the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council and the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security to jointly conduct a review 
of plutonium pit production and submit a plan to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than March 31, 
2023, that includes high-confidence assessments of projected 
dates for the achievement of a production capacity of no fewer 
than 80 war reserve plutonium pits per year. The plan shall 
include, at a minimum:
          (1) A preferred option and any alternatives for 
        establishing a sustainable capability to produce not 
        fewer than 80 war reserve pits per year, including 
        projected achievable deadlines at 70 percent and 90 
        percent confidence levels, as determined by the NNSA 
        Director of Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation;
          (2) A preferred option and any alternatives for 
        ensuring the on-time delivery of ongoing nuclear 
        weapons life extension, modification, and development 
        programs that reflect the pit production timelines 
        devised under paragraph 1;
          (3) Any other analysis and information the Chairman 
        or Administrator consider appropriate; and
          (4) Any dissenting views by members of the Nuclear 
        Weapons Council to the plan, as appropriate.
    In addition, we direct the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security:
          (1) Not later than March 1, 2023, to brief the 
        congressional defense committees on NNSA's progress 
        toward achieving the Critical Decision 2 milestone for 
        the LANL and SRPPF plutonium pit production projects 
        and establishing a cost and schedule baseline for each; 
        and
          (2) Not later than June 30, 2023, to brief the 
        congressional defense committees on options for 
        partnering with entities from private industry with 
        expertise in advanced manufacturing and production 
        techniques related to nuclear metallurgy to seek cost 
        efficiencies and mitigate supply chain risks related to 
        the production of plutonium pits, including the 
        production and integration of glove boxes.
Comptroller General study on National Nuclear Security Administration 
        management and operation contracting process
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct 
a study to identify and assess the process by which the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security awards management and 
operating (M&O) contracts. It would also require the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security to, upon receipt of the 
Comptroller's study, provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees on any statutory changes deemed necessary to 
improve the management and operation contract awarding process.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note, however, our concern about a lack of 
predictability in the contracting schedule for large M&O 
contracts, including the recently cancelled contract at Pantex 
and Y-12. We also observe that while the NNSA has made 
significant strides in improving its contract and project 
management oversight performance over the past decade, it 
remains on the Government Accountability Office's ``High Risk 
List'' since its designation in 2009. Additionally, we are 
concerned that cancellations or extended delays in the 
contracting process can pose a risk to the mission in cases 
where under-performing incumbents are unable to be replaced in 
a timely manner. Therefore, we direct the Comptroller General 
of the United States to conduct a study on cancelled and 
delayed National Nuclear Security Administration M&O contracts 
to identify and assess the effects of cancelling or delaying 
the award or solicitation of M&O contracts at facilities in the 
nuclear enterprise, to include but not limited to Pantex and Y-
12. We direct the Comptroller General to provide a briefing on 
preliminary observations to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than 
April 1, 2023. We also direct the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security to, upon receipt of the Comptroller's study, provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees on any 
statutory changes deemed necessary to improve the management 
and operation contract awarding process.
Funding for W80-4 life extension program
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that would 
increase by $5.0 million the amount authorized to be 
appropriated in section 3101 for the National Nuclear Security 
Administration for the W80-4 Life Extension Program.
    The Senate contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
Designation of National Nuclear Security Administration as technical 
        nuclear forensics lead
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3122) that would 
designate the National Nuclear Security Administration as the 
technical nuclear forensics lead.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that technical nuclear forensics is a critical 
mission for which the National Nuclear Security Administration 
(NNSA) plays an essential role. Under existing authorities, 
NNSA houses most of the U.S. Government's nuclear forensic 
analytical capabilities, including technology, expertise, and 
infrastructure that cover every phase of nuclear forensics: 
collection, analysis, evaluation, and attribution. NNSA remains 
best situated to adapt and update mission scope to ensure the 
forensics community is relevant to current threats, including 
countering nuclear terrorism and deterring near-peer 
adversaries. While nuclear forensics was once thought of as a 
primarily domestic responsibility, Russian nuclear threats 
related to its conflict in Ukraine, including the potential for 
a false-flag radiological or nuclear attack, highlight the 
importance of timely, credible attribution overseas in order to 
deter and, if necessary, respond to nuclear employment by near-
peer adversaries.
    Section 3231 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
required the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and 
Medicine to conduct a study that examined U.S. Government 
nuclear forensics capabilities. The resulting report entitled 
``Restoring and Improving Nuclear Forensics to Support 
Attribution and Deterrence'' was published in May 2021 and 
found that national technical nuclear forensics requires 
improved alignment across the U.S. Government. In particular, 
the report found that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
had ``effectively abdicated'' its responsibilities for 
technical nuclear forensics by ``prioritizing other missions'' 
(p. 8), all the while other organizations, most notably NNSA, 
treat their nuclear forensics responsibilities as a matter of 
utmost importance (p. 14). It is no surprise, then, that the 
Office of Management and Budget submitted, in June 2021, an 
interagency coordinated and administration approved legislative 
proposal seeking to fully realign leadership for nuclear 
forensics from DHS to NNSA.
    The technical nuclear forensics mission must remain a 
priority. We urge the U.S. Government to heed the 
recommendations of the National Academies and properly align 
policy, roles and responsibilities, and funding to support 
effective technical nuclear forensics.

2023, for restoring the unobligated, unencumbered, domestic 
uranium production, conversion, and enrichment capabilities of 
the United States by not later than 2035. Such plan should 
include, at a minimum:
          (1) A proposal or proposals for restoring unobligated 
        uranium production, conversion and enrichment 
        capabilities, including production of high-enriched 
        uranium to refurbish the nuclear weapons stockpile of 
        the United States over a period of not more than 30 
        years; satisfy the annual requirements of the United 
        States for naval reactor fuel, including projections 
        for satisfying fuel requirements for all submarines 
        developed using reactor designs and technology of the 
        United States; and satisfy the annual requirements of 
        the United States for defense nuclear power reactors;
          (2) A proposal or proposals for improving the 
        production capacity of unobligated low-enriched uranium 
        needed to satisfy annual tritium production 
        requirements for the nuclear weapons stockpile of the 
        United States and associated research and development 
        objectives; and
          (3) Any other analysis and information as the 
        Administrator or the Secretary consider appropriate.
    We recognize that the contours of the plan for unobligated, 
unencumbered domestic uranium production outlined above may 
conflict with one or more of the objectives outlined by the 
Secretary of Energy's biennial plan for meeting national 
security requirements for unencumbered uranium through 2070, 
pursuant to section 2538c of title 50, United States Code. This 
direction does not alter the existing statutory requirement, 
but rather seeks to provide the congressional defense 
committees with alternatives that will improve their 
understanding of the implications and costs of accelerating 
efforts to reestablish domestic unobligated, unencumbered 
uranium production, conversion, and enrichment capabilities for 
the United States in the 2030s, and thus inform the range of 
future policy and resourcing options under consideration for 
responding to threats posed by multiple near-peer adversaries.
