     Nations during 1994 for such purpose; and
       (2) with respect to each such nation, the total amount that 
     such nation spent for peacekeeping activities for which it 
     received a payment from the United Nations during 1994, with 
     separate displays for the portion of that amount spent for 
     pay and allowances for personnel of that nation's armed

     other perquisites relating to the duty of such personnel as 
     part of such peacekeeping activities, and to the extent 
     possible for related incremental costs incurred by such 
     nation as part of such peacekeeping activities.
       (b) Information Relating to Contractors.--
       (1) Compensation levels.--The Secretary shall include in 
     the report under subsection (a) a separate report on amounts

     system in which nations contributing forces to a United

     Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note), but 
     subject to subsection (d), for each of fiscal years 1996,

     which, as of the end of a fiscal year, the allied 
     contribution level determined under paragraph (2) is less

     aggregate amount of nonpersonnel costs for United States 
     military installations in European member nations of NATO 
     that are assumed during that fiscal year by such nations, 
     except that the Secretary may consider only those cash and 
     in-kind contributions by such nations that replace 
     expenditures that would otherwise be made by the Secretary 
     using funds appropriated or otherwise made available in 
     defense appropriations Acts.
       (c) Annual Allied Contribution Goals.--
       (1) Goals.--In continuing efforts to enter into revised 
     host-nation agreements as described in the provisions of law

     should be assumed by those nations.
       (D) By September 30, 1998, 75 percent of such costs should

     reductions required pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary 
     of Defense may maintain an end strength of at least 25,000 
     members of the Armed Forces of the United States assigned to 
     permanent duty ashore in European member nations of NATO.
       (2) Waiver authority.--The President may waive operation of 
     this section if the President declares an emergency. The 
     President shall immediately inform Congress of any such 
     waiver and the reasons for the waiver.
       (e) Allocation of Force Reductions.--To the extent that 
     there is a reduction in end strength level for any of the 
     Armed Forces in European member nations of NATO in a fiscal 
     year pursuant to subsection (a)--
       (1) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
     corresponding reduction in the authorized end strength level 
     for active duty personnel for such Armed Force for that 
     fiscal year; and
       (2) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
     corresponding increase in permanent assignments or 
     deployments of forces in the United States or other nations 
     (other than European member nations of NATO) for each such 
     Armed Forces for that fiscal year, as determined by the 
     Secretary of Defense.
       (f) Nonpersonnel Costs Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``nonpersonnel costs'', with respect to 
     United States military installations in European member 
     nations of NATO, means costs for those installations other 
     than costs paid from military personnel accounts.

     SEC. 204. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE AND 
                   THE ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE (ARM) TREATY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States and its allies face existing and 
     expanding threats from ballistic missiles capable of being 
     used as theater weapon systems that are presently possessed 
     by, being developed by, or being acquired by a number of 
     countries, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and North 
     Korea.
       (2) Some theater ballistic missiles that are currently 
     deployed or are being developed (such as the Chinese CSS-2 
     missile and the North Korean Taepo Dong-2 missile) have 
     capabilities equal to or greater than the capabilities of 
     missiles that were determined to be strategic missiles more 
     than 20 years ago under the Strategic Arms Limitation 
     Agreement I (SALT I) Interim Agreement of 1972 entered into 
     between the United States and the Soviet Union.
       (3) The Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty was not 
     intended to, and does not, apply to or limit research, 
     development, testing or deployment of missile defense 
     systems, system upgrades, or system components that are 
     designed to counter modern theater ballistic missiles, 
     regardless of the capabilities of such missiles, unless those 
     systems, system upgrades, or system components are tested 
     against or have demonstrated capabilities to counter modern 
     strategic ballistic missiles.
       (4) It is a national security priority of the United States 
     to develop and deploy highly effective theater missile 
     defense systems capable of countering the existing and 
     expanding threats posed by modern theater ballistic missiles 
     at the earliest practical date.
       (5) Current United States proposal in the Standing 
     Consultative Commission (SCC) would multilateralize the ABM 
     Treaty, making future amendments or changes to the Treaty 
     more difficult, and would impose specific design limitations 
     on United States theater missile defense (TMD) systems that 
     would significantly compromise the United States TMD 
     capability.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that further formal negotiations in the Standing Consultative 
     Commission (SCC) and any informal discussions or negotiations 
     on either the demarcation between theater missile defense 
     (TMD) systems and anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems, or 
     any other effort that bears on the viability of the ABM 
     Treaty, including multilateralization of the 
     treaty, should be suspended until the One Hundred Fourth 
     Congress has had the opportunity to review those matters.

                       TITLE II--MISSILE DEFENSE

     SEC. 201. POLICY.

       The following, in priority of the order listed, shall be 
     the missile defense policy of the United States:
       (1) To complete the development and deployment at the 
     earliest practicable date of more effective theater missile 
     defenses (TMDs) by adequately funding TMD programs in 
     existence as of the beginning of 1995.
       (2) To develop and test at the earliest practicable date a 
     ground-based interceptor system designed to seek and destroy 
     incoming re-entry vehicles launched against the United 
     States, together with ground-based radar and space-based or 
     ground-launched sensors to acquire and track incoming reentry 
     vehicles.
       (3) To develop options for deployment of a system described 
     in paragraph (2) to defend the United States against 
     ballistic missile attack once the technology for the system 
     has been proven by testing.

     SEC. 202. REPORT TO CONGRESS.

       (a) Requirement.--The President shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on deployment of an 
     anti-ballistic missile system in accordance with section 
     201(2). The report shall--
       (1) state the threats against which the system will provide 
     protection and validate that those threats warrant deployment 
     of a National Missile Defense system;
       (2) describe the deployment plan for the system and provide 
     a cost estimate for the system; and
       (3) describe any amendments to the ABM Treaty that would be 
     necessary to pursue and deploy the system.
       (b) Deadline for Report.--The report under subsection (a) 
     shall be submitted not later than the date of the submission 
     of the first annual budget of the President submitted 
     following validation of the technology required for the 
     system.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) The term ``ABM Treaty'' means the Treaty between the 
     United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist 
     Republics on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missiles, 
     signed in Moscow on May 26, 1972.
       (2) The term ``congressional defense committees'' means--
       (A) the committee on National Security and the Committee on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives; and
       (B) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
     Appropriations of the Senate.

     SEC. 203.  FUNDING PRIORITIES.

       (a) General NMD Priority.--Any requirement to develop a 
     national missile system at ``the earliest practicable date'' 
     shall be subject to the availability of funding for that 
     purpose. Section 201 may not be construed to require funding 
     for a national missile defense system in a manner that will 
     subordinate other national security priorities, such as force 
     structure, readiness, or modernization.
       (b) Relative Priority of TMD and NMD.--Funding for theater 
     missile defense shall take priority over funding for national 
     missile defense unless the President determines that the 
     threat of ballistic missile attack against the United States 
     is such as to require expedited deployment of a national 
     missile defense system.

     the United States with respect to the priority for 
     development and deployment of missile defense programs:
       (1) First, ensuring operational readiness of the Armed 
     Forces and accomplishing programmed modernization of weapons 
     systems.
