      DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996

  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate bill (S. 1124) to authorize appropriations 
for fiscal year 1996 for military activities of the Department of 
Defense, to prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year for the 
Armed Forces, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from South Carolina?
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I would like 
to ask the distinguished gentleman from South Carolina, is the 
unanimous-consent request that the gentleman is engaging in an effort 
to expedite going to conference on the DOD authorization bill as a 
result of the sustaining of the veto by the President?
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DELLUMS. I yield to the gentleman from South Carolina.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, let me say, first of all, that I appreciate 
the gentleman's cooperation over the past several days in working to 
move this process forward. I also appreciate the leadership on both 
sides of the aisle making this possible.
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time for a moment, I 
understand that the gentleman is beginning to move into a colloquy that 
we have agreed upon regarding the pay raise and the housing allowance 
of our military personnel, but I am simply asking the question prior to 
that.
  Is the effort on the part of the distinguished gentleman from South 
Carolina to simply bring a Senate bill forward that would be an 
appropriate vehicle to expedite going to conference?
  Mr. SPENCE. The gentleman is correct.
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted my colleagues to understand 
that this is purely a procedural matter.
  Further reserving the right to object, as many of my colleagues are 
aware, in the context of the DOD authorization bill conference report, 
it allowed for a 2.4-percent cost of living increase to our military 
personnel and a 5.2-percent housing allowance increase.

                              {time}  1815

  Because of the action taken in the body, we were not able to allow 
that cost of living increase and that housing allowance increase to go 
forward in the month of January. Therefore, I would 

[[Page H241]]
like to enter into the following colloquy with the gentleman from South 
Carolina.
  Mr. Speaker, I certainly wish to enter into the process of trying to 
come back to this body with a conference report that can be signed into 
law as expeditiously as possible, and I put both my word and my 
reputation on the line in that respect. But I would like to ask the 
gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. Spence] that in the event that the 
process in some way is slowed down, that the gentleman could give this 
gentleman and my colleagues on this side of the aisle his word that if 
we have not reached agreement on the fiscal year 1996 defense 
authorization conference by the end of the month so that the full 2.4 
percent cost of living increase and the 5.2 percent for basic allowance 
for quarters could be allowed to our service personnel for February 
1996, that the majority leadership will agree to bring appropriate 
legislation to the floor in time to ensure that the military will 
receive these increases in February.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from South 
Carolina.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, let me say first of all that I appreciate 
the gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums] and his cooperation in the 
past few days in moving this process forward.
  I also want to express my appreciation to the leadership on both 
sides of the aisle for making this process possible, or this procedure. 
I also want to express my appreciation to the minority members on our 
committee who have helped to bring this bill forward in committee and 
in conference to this place that we find ourselves in tonight.
  Mr. Speaker, there is no disagreement between us on the importance of 
ensuring that the troops and their families receive their full pay 
raise and their full BAQ housing allowances. Based on the President's 
December 28 Executive Order, the troops are currently receiving a 2.0-
percent pay raise and a 2.0-percent increase in their housing 
allowance.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe that the appropriate vehicle for legislation 
authorizing a military pay raise is the Defense authorization bill. We 
attempted to override the President's veto earlier this week, and did 
not succeed. Therefore, we are here tonight trying to appoint conferees 
to a new conference in order to hopefully resolve our differences and 
to send a revised bill, including the pay and housing allowances, back 
down to the President as soon as possible.
  I would commit to the gentleman from California, and to all of my 
colleagues, that if all efforts to reach an agreement on a revised 
conference report have not succeeded by end of this month, I will work 
with him and all others to pass legislation for the full pay raise and 
housing allowance as expeditiously as possible, either as a free-
standing bill or in some other fast-moving vehicle. It would be my 
intention that any such legislation would provide the full pay raise 
and BAQ housing allowance retroactive to January 1, 1996.
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time and further reserving my 
right to object, I would like to first thank my distinguished colleague 
for a very straightforward response to the question that this gentleman 
raised. I appreciate both the gentleman's integrity and veracity on 
this issue.
  Given the assurances that have been laid down clearly by my 
distinguished colleague, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from South Carolina?
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I do not 
intend to object, but under the reservation, I would hope that we are 
not going to open up the entire defense bill in this new conference. 
There are a relative few sections that there is a complaint about: 
ballistic missiles, U.N. control, relative small number of issues that 
there is a complaint about.
  Mr. Speaker, I am particularly concerned, of course, about the 
military construction section, because this is the section where we 
make gigantic strides in trying to improve the housing and living 
conditions of our troops. There was no objection to that. The gentleman 
from California [Mr. Dellums], the ranking member of the committee, and 
I have talked about this on numerous occasions. The gentleman has no 
objection to that.
  This is the area that I am most interested in, but there are other 
areas that there were no objections, that the committee was in strong 
support of. So, I would hope with this reduced number of conferees that 
we have going to this conference, and I think that is a good idea, but 
I would hope, Mr. Speaker, that we would not open up the entire bill 
and start over again. An enormous amount of time and effort and energy 
was put into getting where we are now. I would hope that we would focus 
on the areas that we need to.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman would yield, we intend in 
the conference to do just those things to prevent another veto, and it 
would not get down to housing, I am sure, because the President in his 
message to us did not say anything to us about the housing that we 
passed.
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his response. I 
appreciate that.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Bunning of Kentucky). Is there objection 
to the request of the gentleman from South Carolina?
  There was no objection.

                      Subtitle C--Missile Defense

     SEC. 231. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Missile Defense Act of 
     1995''.

     SEC. 232. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The threat that is posed to the national security of 
     the United States by the proliferation of ballistic and 
     cruise missiles is significant and growing, both 
     quantitatively and qualitatively.
       (2) The deployment of effective Theater Missile Defense 
     systems can deny potential adversaries the option of 
     escalating a conflict by threatening or attacking United 
     States forces, coalition partners of the United States, or 
     allies of the United States with ballistic missiles armed 
     with weapons of mass destruction to offset the operational 
     and technical advantages of the United States and its 
     coalition partners and allies.
       (3) The intelligence community of the United States has 
     estimated that (A) the missile proliferation trend is toward 
     longer range and more sophisticated ballistic missiles, (B) 
     North Korea may deploy an intercontinental ballistic missile 
     capable of reaching Alaska or beyond within 5 years, and (C) 
     although a new indigenously developed ballistic missile 
     threat to the continental United States is not forecast 
     within the next 10 years there is a danger that determined 
     countries will acquire intercontinental ballistic missiles in 
     the near future and with little warning by means other than 
     indigenous development.
       (4) The deployment by the United States and its allies of 
     effective defenses against ballistic missiles of all ranges, 
     as well as against cruise missiles, can reduce the incentives 
     for countries to acquire such missiles or to augment existing 
     missile capabilities.
       (5) The Cold War distinction between strategic ballistic 
     missiles and nonstrategic ballistic missiles and, therefore, 
     the ABM Treaty's distinction between strategic defense and 
     nonstrategic defense, has changed because of technological 
     advancements and should be reviewed.
       (6) The concept of mutual assured destruction, which was 
     one of the major philosophical rationales for the ABM Treaty, 
     is now questionable as a basis for stability in a multipolar 
     world in which the United States and the states of the former 
     Soviet Union are seeking to normalize relations and eliminate 
     Cold War attitudes and arrangements.
       (7) Theater and national missile defenses can contribute to 
     the maintenance of stability as missile threats proliferate 
     and as the United States and the former Soviet Union 
     significantly reduce the number of strategic nuclear forces 
     in their respective inventories.
       (8) Although technology control regimes and other forms of 
     international arms control can contribute to 
     nonproliferation, such measures alone are inadequate for 
     dealing with missile proliferation, and should not be viewed 
     as alternatives to missile defenses and other active and 
     passive defenses.
       (9) Due to limitations in the ABM Treaty which preclude 
     deployment of more than 100 ground-based ABM interceptors at 
     a single site, the United States is currently prohibited from 
     deploying a national missile defense system capable of 
     defending the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii 
     against even the most limited ballistic missile attacks.

     SEC. 233. MISSILE DEFENSE POLICY.

       It is the policy of the United States to--
       (1) deploy as soon as possible affordable and operationally 
     effective theater missile defenses capable of countering 
     existing and emerging theater ballistic missiles;
       (2)(A) develop for deployment a multiple-site national 
     missile defense system that: (i) is affordable and 
     operationally effective against limited, accidental, and 
     unauthorized ballistic missile attacks on the territory of 
     the United States, and (ii) can be augmented over time as the 
     threat changes to provide a layered defense against limited, 
     accidental, or unauthorized ballistic missile threats;
       (B) initiate negotiations with the Russian Federation as 
     necessary to provide for the national missile defense systems 
     specified in section 235; and
       (C) consider, if those negotiations fail, the option of 
     withdrawing from the ABM Treaty in accordance with the 
     provisions of Article XV of the Treaty, subject to 
     consultations between the President and the Senate;
       (3) ensure congressional review, prior to a decision to 
     deploy the system developed for deployment under paragraph 
     (2), of: (A) the affordability and operational effectiveness 
     of such a system; (B) the threat to be countered by such a 
     system; and (C) ABM Treaty considerations with respect to 
     such a system.
       (4) improve existing cruise missile defenses and deploy as 
     soon as practical defenses that are affordable and 
     operationally effective against advanced cruise missiles;
       (5) pursue a focused research and development program to 
     provide follow-on ballistic missile defense options;
       (6) employ streamlined acquisition procedures to lower the 
     cost and accelerate the pace of developing and deploying 
     theater missile defenses, cruise missile defenses, and 
     national missile defenses;
       (7) seek a cooperative transition to a regime that does not 
     feature mutual assured destruction and an offense-only form 
     of deterrence as the basis for strategic stability; and
       (8) carry out the policies, programs, and requirements of 
     subtitle C of title II of this Act through processes 
     specified within, or consistent with, the ABM Treaty, which 
     anticipates the need and provides the means for amendment to 
     the Treaty.

     SEC. 234. THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE ARCHITECTURE.

       (a) Establishment of Core Program.--To implement the policy 
     established in section 233, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     establish a top priority core theater missile defense program 
     consisting of the following systems:
       (1) The Patriot PAC-3 system, with a first unit equipped 
     (FUE) in fiscal year 1998.
       (2) The Navy Lower Tier (Area) system, with a user 
     operational evaluation system (UOES) capability in fiscal 
     year 1997 and an initial operational capability (IOC) in 
     fiscal year 1999.
       (3) The Theater High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, 
     with a user operational evaluation system (UOES) capability 
     in fiscal year 1997 and an initial operational capability 
     (IOC) no later than fiscal year 2002.
       (4) The Navy Upper Tier (Theater Wide) system, with a user 
     operational evaluation system (UOES) capability in fiscal 
     year 1999 and an initial operational capability (IOC) in 
     fiscal year 2001.
       (b) Interoperability and Support of Core Systems.--To 
     maximize effectiveness and flexibility, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall ensure that core theater missile defense 
     systems are interoperable and fully capable of exploiting 
     external sensor and battle management support from systems 
     such as the Navy's Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), 
     the Army's Battlefield Integration Center (BIC), air and 
     space-based sensors including, in particular, the Space and 
     Missile Tracking System (SMTS).
       (c) Termination of Programs.--The Secretary of Defense 
     shall terminate the Boost Phase Interceptor (BPI) program.
       (d) Follow-on Systems.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     develop an affordable development plan for follow-on theater 
     missile defense systems which leverages existing systems, 
     technologies, and programs, and focuses investments to 
     satisfy military requirements not met by the core program.
       (2) Before adding new theater missile defense systems to 
     the core program from among the follow-on activities, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report describing--
       (A) the requirements for the program and the specific 
     threats to be countered;
       (B) how the new program will relate to, support, and 
     leverage off existing core programs;
       (C) the planned acquisition strategy; and
       (D) a preliminary estimate of total program cost and 
     budgetary impact.
       (e) Report.--(1) Not later than the date on which the 
     President submits the budget for fiscal year 1997 under 
     section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report detailing the Secretary's plans for 
     implementing the guidance specified in this section.
       (2) For each deployment date for each system described in 
     subsection (a), the report required by paragraph (1) of this 
     subsection shall include the funding required for research, 
     development, testing, evaluation, and deployment for each 
     fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 1997 through the end 
     of the fiscal year in which deployment is projected under 
     subsection (a).

     SEC. 235. NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE.

       (a) In General.--To implement the policy established in 
     section 233, the Secretary of Defense shall develop an 
     affordable and operationally effective national missile 
     defense system to counter a limited, accidental, or 
     unauthorized ballistic missile attack, and which is capable 
     of attaining initial operational capability (IOC) by the end 
     of 2003. Such system shall include the following:
       (1) Ground-based interceptors capable of being deployed at 
     multiple sites, the locations and numbers of which are to be 
     determined so as to optimize the defensive coverage of the 
     continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii against 
     limited, accidental, or unauthorized ballistic missile 
     attacks.
       (2) Fixed ground-based radars and space-based sensors, 
     including the Space and Missile Tracking system, the mix, 
     siting and numbers of which are to be determined so as to 
     optimize sensor support and minimize total system cost.
       (3) Battle management, command, control, and communications 
     (BM/C3).
     
[[Page H250]]

       (b) Interim Operational Capability.--To provide a hedge 
     against the emergence of near-term ballistic missile threats 
     against the United States and to support the development and 
     deployment of the objective system specified in subsection 
     (a), the Secretary of Defense shall develop an interim 
     national missile defense plan that would give the United 
     States the ability to field a limited operational capability 
     by the end of 1999 if required by the threat. In developing 
     this plan the Secretary shall make use of--
       (1) developmental, or user operational evaluation system 
     (UOES) interceptors, radars, and battle management, command, 
     control, and communications (BM/C3), to the extent that such 
     use directly supports, and does not significantly increase 
     the cost of, the objective system specified in subsection 
     (a);
       (2) one or more of the sites that will be used as 
     deployment locations for the objective system specified in 
     subsection (a);
       (3) upgraded early warning radars; and
       (4) space-based sensors.
       (c) Use of Streamlined Acquisition Procedures.--The 
     Secretary of Defense shall prescribe and use streamlined 
     acquisition procedures to--
       (1) reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of 
     developing the national missile defense system specified in 
     subsection (a); and
       (2) ensure that any interim national missile defense 
     capabilities developed pursuant to subsection (b) are 
     operationally effective and on a path to fulfill the 
     technical requirements and schedule of the objective system.
       (d) Additional Cost Saving Measures.--In addition to the 
     procedures prescribed pursuant to subsection (c), the 
     Secretary of Defense shall employ cost saving measures that 
     do not decrease the operational effectiveness of the systems 
     specified in subsections (a) and (b), and which do not pose 
     unacceptable technical risk. The cost saving measures should 
     include the following:
       (1) The use of existing facilities and infrastructure.
       (2) The use, where appropriate, of existing or upgraded 
     systems and technologies, except that Minuteman boosters may 
     not be used as part of a National Missile Defense 
     architecture.
       (3) Development of systems and components that do not rely 
     on a large and permanent infrastructure and are easily 
     transported, emplaced, and moved.
       (e) Report on Plan for Deployment.--Not later than the date 
     on which the President submits the budget for fiscal year 
     1997 under section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report containing the following matters:
       (1) The Secretary's plan for carrying out this section.
       (2) For each deployment date in subsections (a) and (b), 
     the report shall include the funding required for research, 
     development, testing, evaluation, and deployment for each 
     fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 1997 through the end 
     of the fiscal year in which deployment is projected under 
     subsection (a) or (b). The report shall also describe the 
     specific threat to be countered and provide the Secretary's 
     assessment as to whether deployment is affordable and 
     operationally effective.
       (3) An analysis of options for supplementing or modifying 
     the national missile defense architecture specified in 
     subsection (a) before attaining initial operational 
     capability, or evolving such architecture in a building block 
     manner after attaining initial operational capability, to 
     improve the cost-effectiveness or the operational 
     effectiveness of such system by adding one or a combination 
     of the following:
       (A) Additional ground-based interceptors at existing or new 
     sites.

     SEC. 236. CRUISE MISSILE DEFENSE INITIATIVE.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense shall undertake 
     an initiative to coordinate and strengthen the cruise missile 
     defense programs, projects, and activities of the military 
     departments, the Advanced Research Projects Agency and the 
     Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to ensure that the 
     United States develops and deploys affordable and 
     operationally effective defenses against existing and future 
     cruise missile threats.
       (b) Actions of the Secretary of Defense.--In carrying out 
     subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall ensure that--
       (1) to the extent practicable, the ballistic missile 
     defense and cruise missile defense efforts of the Department 
     of Defense are coordinated and mutually reinforcing;
       (2) existing air defense systems are adequately upgraded to 
     provide an affordable and operationally effective defense 
     against existing and near-term cruise missile threats; and
       (3) the Department of Defense undertakes a high priority 
     and well coordinated technology development program to 
     support the future deployment of systems that are affordable 
     and operationally effective against advanced cruise missiles, 
     including cruise missiles with low observable features.
       (c) Implementation Plan.--Not later than the date on which 
     the President submits the budget for fiscal year 1997 under 
     section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a detailed plan, in unclassified and classified 
     forms, as necessary, for carrying out this section. The plan 
     shall include an assessment of--
       (1) the systems that currently have cruise missile defense 
     capabilities, and existing programs to improve these 
     capabilities;
       (2) the technologies that could be deployed in the near- to 
     mid-term to provide significant advances over existing cruise 
     missile defense capabilities, and the investments that would 
     be required to ready the technologies for deployment;
       (3) the cost and operational tradeoffs, if any, between 
     upgrading existing air and missile defense systems and 
     accelerating follow-on systems with significantly improved 
     capabilities against advanced cruise missiles; and
       (4) the organizational and management changes that would 
     strengthen and further coordinate the cruise missile defense 
     efforts of the Department of Defense, including the 
     disadvantages, if any, of implementing such changes.

     SEC. 237. POLICY REGARDING THE ABM TREATY.

       (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Article XIII of the ABM Treaty envisions ``possible 
     changes in the strategic situation which have a bearing on 
     the provisions of this treaty''.
       (2) Articles XIII and XIV of the ABM Treaty establish means 
     for the Parties to amend the Treaty, and the Parties have 
     employed these means to amend the Treaty.
       (3) Article XV of the ABM Treaty establishes the means for 
     a party to withdraw from the Treaty, upon 6 months notice, 
     ``if it decides that extraordinary events related to the 
     subject matter of this treaty have jeopardized its supreme 
     interests''.
       (4) The policies, programs, and requirements of subtitle C 
     of title II of this Act can be accomplished through processes 
     specified within, or consistent with, the ABM Treaty, which 
     anticipates the need and provides the means for amendment to 
     the Treaty.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings and 
     policies provided in this subtitle, it is the sense of 
     Congress that--
       (1) Given the fundamental responsibility of the Government 
     of the United States to protect the security of the United 
     States, the increasingly serious threat posed to the United 
     States by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 
     and ballistic missile technology, and the effect this threat 
     could have on the options of the United States to act in a 
     time of crisis--
       (A) it is in the vital national security interest of the 
     United States to defend itself from the threat of a limited, 
     accidental, or unauthorized ballistic missile attack, 
     whatever its source; and
       (B) the deployment of a national missile defense system, in 
     accord with section 233, to protect the territory of the 
     United States against a limited, accidental, or unauthorized 
     missile attack can strengthen strategic stability and 
     deterrence; and
       (2)(A) the Senate should undertake a comprehensive review 
     of the continuing value and validity of the ABM Treaty with 
     the intent of providing additional policy guidance on the 
     future of the ABM Treaty during the second session of the One 
     Hundred Fourth Congress; and
       (B) upon completion of the review, the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations, in consultation with the Committee on Armed 
     Services and other appropriate committees, should report its 
     findings to the Senate.

                   AGREEMENT CONCERNING THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE 
                   SYSTEMS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Section 234 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 1994 provides that the ABM Treaty 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.
       (2) Section 232 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 1995 provides that the United States shall 
     not be bound by any international agreement that would 
     substantially modify the ABM Treaty unless the agreement is 
     entered into pursuant to the treaty making power of the 
     President under the Constitution.
       (3) the demarcation standard described in subsection (b)(1) 
     is based upon current technology.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) unless a missile defense system, system upgrade, or 
     system component, including one that exploits data from 
     space-based or other external sensors, is flight tested 
     against a ballistic missile target that exceeds a range of 
     3,500 kilometers or a velocity of 5 kilometers per second, 
     such missile defense system, system upgrade, or system 
     component has not been tested in an ABM mode nor deemed to 
     have been given capabilities to counter strategic ballistic 
     missiles, and
       (2) any international agreement that would limit the 
     research, development, testing, or deployment of missile 
     defense systems, system upgrades, or system components that 
     are designed to counter modern theater ballistic missiles in 
     a manner that would be 

[[Page H251]]
     more restrictive than the criteria in paragraph (1) should be entered 
     into only pursuant to the treaty making powers of the 
     President under the Constitution.
       (c) Prohibition on Funding.--Funds appropriated or 
     otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for 
     fiscal year 1996 may not be obligated or expended to 
     implement an agreement with any of the independent states of 
     the former Soviet Union entered into after January 1, 1995 
     that would establish a demarcation between theater missile 
     defense systems and anti-ballistic missile systems for 
     purposes of the ABM Treaty or that would restrict the 
     performance, operation, or deployment of United States 
     theater missile defense systems except: (1) to the extent 
     provided in an Act enacted subsequent to this Act; (2) to 
     implement that portion of any such agreement that implements 
     the criteria in subsection (b)(1); or (3) to implement any 
     such agreement that is entered into pursuant to the treaty 
     making power of the President under the Constitution.

                   AND EVALUATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The Office of the Director of Operational Test and 
     Evaluation of the Department of Defense was created by 
     Congress to provide an independent validation and 
     verification on the suitability and effectiveness of new 
     weapons, and to ensure that the United States military 
     departments acquire weapons that are proven in an operational 
     environment before they are produced and used in combat.
       (2) The office is currently making significant 
     contributions to the process by which the Department of 
     Defense acquires new weapons by providing vital insights on 
     operational weapons tests to be used in this acquisition 
     process.
       (3) The office provides vital services to Congress in 
     providing an independent certification on the performance of 
     new weapons that have been operationally tested.
       (4) A provision of H.R.1530, an Act entitled ``An Act to

     Energy, to prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year 
     for the Armed Forces, and for other purposes'', agreed to by 
     the House of Representatives on June 15, 1995, contains a 
     provision that could substantially diminish the authority and 
     responsibilities of the office and perhaps cause the 
     elimination of the office and its functions.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the authority and responsibilities of the Office of the

     of Defense should not be diminished or eliminated; and
       (2) the conferees on H.R.1530, an Act entitled ``An Act to 
     authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1996 for military 
     activities of the Department of Defense, for military 
     construction, and for defense activities of the Department of 
     Energy, to prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year 
     for the Armed Forces, and for other purposes'' should not 
     propose to Congress a conference report on that Act that 
     would either diminish or eliminate the Office of the Director 
     of Operational Test and Evaluation or its functions.

     SEC. 243. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY CENTER.

     member during such period.
       ``(d) Adjustment of Amounts.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     determine annually the effect of inflation on benefits and 
     shall adjust the amounts set forth in subsections (a) and

     paragraph (1) is not evenly divisible by $10, the amount 
     shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $10, except that

     amount shall be equal to the share of the cost attributable 
     to insuring the member and shall be the same for all members 
     of the Ready Reserve who are insured under the insurance 
     program for the same benefit amount. The Secretary shall 
     prescribe the rate on the basis of the best available 
     estimate of risk and financial exposure, levels of 
     subscription by members, and other relevant factors.
       ``(b) Level Premiums.--The premium rate prescribed for the 
     first year of insurance coverage of an insured member shall 
     be continued without change for subsequent years of insurance 
     coverage, except that the Secretary, after consultation with 
     the Board of Actuaries, may adjust the premium rate in order

     actuarially sound basis.

       ``(a) Methods of Payment.--(1) The monthly premium for 
     coverage of a member under the insurance program shall be 
     deducted and withheld from the insured member's basic pay for

     amount applicable for the level of benefits for which the 
     member is insured.

     advance to an insured member the amount equal to the first 
     insurance premium payment due under this chapter. The advance 
     may be paid out of appropriations for military pay. An 
     advance to a member shall be collected from the member either 
     by deducting and withholding the amount from basic pay 
     payable for the member or by collecting it from the member 
     directly. No disbursing or certifying officer shall be 
     responsible for any loss resulting from an advance under this 
     subsection.
       ``(c) Premiums To Be Deposited in Fund.--Premium amounts 
     deducted and withheld from the basic pay of insured members 
     and premium amounts paid directly to the Secretary shall be

     the Treasury a fund to be known as the `Department of Defense 
     Ready Reserve Income Insurance Fund', which shall be 
     administered by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Fund shall 
     be used for the accumulation of funds in order to finance the 
     liabilities of the insurance program on an actuarially sound 
     basis.
       ``(b) Assets of Fund.--There shall be deposited into the 
     Fund the following:
       ``(1) Premiums paid under section 12527 of this title.
       ``(2) Any amount appropriated to the Fund.

     Treasury shall invest such portion of the Fund as is not in 
     the judgment of the Secretary of Defense required to meet 
     current liabilities. Such investments shall be in public debt 
     securities with maturities suitable to the needs of the Fund, 
     as determined by the Secretary of Defense, and bearing 
     interest at rates determined by the Secretary of the 
     Treasury, taking into consideration current market yields on 
     outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of 
     comparable maturities. The income on such investments shall 
     be credited to the Fund.
       ``(e) Annual Accounting.--At the beginning of each fiscal 
     year, the Secretary, in consultation with the Board of 
     Actuaries and the Secretary of the Treasury, shall determine 
     the following:
       ``(1) The projected amount of the premiums to be collected, 
     investment earnings to be received, and any transfers or 
     appropriations to be made for the Fund for that fiscal year.
       ``(2) The amount for that fiscal year of any cumulative 
     unfunded liability (including any negative amount or any gain 
     to the Fund) resulting from payments of benefits.
       ``(3) The amount for that fiscal year (including any 
     negative amount) of any cumulative actuarial gain or loss to 
     the Fund.

     ``Sec. 12529. Board of Actuaries

       ``(a) Actuarial Responsibility.--The Board of Actuaries 
     shall have the actuarial responsibility for the insurance 
     program.
       ``(b) Valuations and Premium Recommendations.--The Board of 
     Actuaries shall carry out periodic actuarial valuations of 
     the benefits under the insurance program and determine a 
     premium rate methodology for the Secretary to use in setting 
     premium rates for the insurance program. The Board shall 
     conduct the first valuation and determine a premium rate 
     methodology not later than six months after the insurance 
     program is established.
       ``(c) Effects of Changed Benefits.--If at the time of any 
     actuarial valuation under subsection (b) there has been a 
     change in benefits under the insurance program that has been 
     made since the last such valuation and such change in 
     benefits increases or decreases the present value of amounts 
     payable from the Fund, the Board of Actuaries shall determine 
     a premium rate methodology, and recommend to the Secretary a 
     premium schedule, for the liquidation of any liability (or 
     actuarial gain to the Fund) resulting from such change and 
     any previous such changes so that the present value of the 
     sum of the scheduled premium payments (or reduction in 
     payments that would otherwise be made) equals the cumulative 
     increase (or decrease) in the present value of such benefits.
       ``(d) Actuarial Gains or Losses.--If at the time of any 
     such valuation the Board of Actuaries determines that there 
     has been an actuarial gain or loss to the Fund as a result of 
     changes in actuarial assumptions since the last valuation or 
     as a result of any differences, between actual and expected 
     experience since the last valuation, the Board shall 
     recommend to the Secretary a premium rate schedule for the 
     amortization of the cumulative gain or loss to the Fund 
     resulting from such changes in assumptions and any previous 
     such changes in assumptions or from the differences in actual 
     and expected experience, respectively, through an increase or 
     decrease in the payments that would otherwise be made to the 
     Fund.
       ``(e) Insufficient Assets.--If at any time liabilities of 
     the Fund exceed assets of the Fund as a result of members of 
     the Ready Reserve being ordered to active duty as described 
     in section 12521(2) of this title, and funds are unavailable 
     to pay benefits completely, the Secretary shall request the 
     President to submit to Congress a request for a special 
     appropriation to cover the unfunded liability. If 
     appropriations are not made to cover an unfunded liability in 
     any fiscal year, the Secretary shall reduce the amount of the 
     benefits paid under the insurance program to a total amount 
     that does not exceed the assets of the Fund expected to 
     accrue by the end of such fiscal year. Benefits that cannot 
     be paid because of such a reduction shall be deferred and may 
     be paid only after and to the extent that additional funds 
     become available.
       ``(f) Definition of Present Value.--The Board of Actuaries 
     shall define the term `present value' for purposes of this 
     subsection.

     the amount to which such member is entitled on a monthly 
     basis beginning not later than one month after the 30th day 
     of covered service.

     the regulations the manner in which payments shall be made to 
     the member or to a person designated in accordance with 
     subsection (c).

     writing another person (including a spouse, parent, or other 
     person with an insurable interest, as determined in 
     accordance with the regulations prescribed by the Secretary) 
     to receive payments of insurance benefits under the insurance 
     program.

     benefits for a person designated under paragraph (1) be 
     deposited with a bank or other financial institution to the 
     credit of the designated person.

     insurance payable under the insurance program on account of a 
     deceased member's period of covered service shall be paid, 
     upon the establishment of a valid claim, to the beneficiary

     suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering the 
     person mentally incompetent to the extent that the person is 
     unable to understand the nature of the proceedings against

     no longer subject to this chapter. If the person is no longer 
     subject to this chapter, the Attorney General shall take any 
     action within the authority of the Attorney General that the

     SEC. 542. MERITORIOUS AND VALOROUS SERVICE DURING VIETNAM 
                   ERA: REVIEW AND AWARDS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Ia Drang Valley (Pleiku) campaign, carried out by 
     the Armed Forces of the United States in the Ia Drang Valley 
     of Vietnam from October 23, 1965, to November 26, 1965, is 
     illustrative of the many battles which pitted forces of the 
     United States against North Vietnamese Army regulars and Viet 
     Cong in vicious fighting in which many members of the Armed 
     Forces displayed extraordinary heroism, sacrifice, and 
     bravery which has not yet been officially recognized through 
     award of appropriate decorations.
       (2) Accounts of these battles published since the war ended 
     authoritatively document repeated acts of extraordinary 
     heroism, sacrifice, and bravery on the part of many members 
     of the Armed Forces who were engaged in these battles, many 
     of whom have never been officially recognized for those acts.
       (3) In some of the battles United States military units 
     suffered substantial losses, in some cases a majority of the 
     strength of the units.
       (4) The incidence of heavy casualties throughout the war 
     inhibited the timely collection of comprehensive and detailed 
     information to support recommendations for awards for the 
     acts of heroism, sacrifice, and bravery performed.
       (5) Requests to the Secretaries of the military departments 
     for review of award recommendations for those acts have been 
     denied because of restrictions in law and regulations that 
     require timely filing of recommendations and documented 
     justification.
       (6) Acts of heroism, sacrifice, and bravery performed in 
     combat by members of the Armed Forces of the United States 
     deserve appropriate and timely recognition by the people of 
     the United States.
       (7) It is appropriate to recognize military personnel for 
     acts of extraordinary heroism, sacrifice, or bravery that are 
     belatedly, but properly, documented by persons who witnessed 
     those acts.
       (b) Waiver of Restrictions on Awards.--(1) Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of law, the Secretary of Defense or the 
     Secretary of the military department concerned may award or 
     upgrade a decoration to any person for an act, an 
     achievement, or service that the person performed in a 
     campaign while serving on active duty during the Vietnam era.
       (2) Paragraph (1) applies to any decoration (including any 
     device in lieu of a decoration) that, during or after the 
     Vietnam era and before the date of the enactment of this Act, 
     was authorized by law or under regulations of the Department 
     of Defense or the military department concerned to be awarded 
     to a person for an act, an achievement, or service performed 
     by that person while serving on active duty.
       (c) Review of Award Recommendations.--(1) The Secretary of 
     each military department shall review all recommendations for 
     awards for acts, achievements, or service described in 
     subsection (b)(1) that have been received by the Secretary 
     during the period of the review.
       (2) The Secretaries shall begin the review within 30 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act and shall 
     complete the review within one year after such date.
       (3) The Secretary may use the same process for carrying out 
     the review as the Secretary uses for reviewing other 
     recommendations for awarding decorations to members of the 
     armed force or armed forces under the Secretary's 
     jurisdiction for acts, achievements, or service.
     
[[Page H268]]

       (4)(A) Upon completing the review, the Secretary shall 
     submit a report on the review to the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the Committee on National Security

     after the date of the enactment of this Act and shall 
     complete the review within one year after such date.

     the review as the Secretary uses for reviewing other 
     recommendations for awarding decorations to members of the 
     armed force or armed forces under the Secretary's 
     jurisdiction for acts, achievements, or service.
       (4) The Secretary may reject a recommendation if the

       (a) Requirement.--Subject to subsection (b), upon the

     served by a Uniformed Services Treatment Facility, the 
     facility shall provide to the covered beneficiaries enrolled 
     in a health care plan of such facility the same health care 
     benefits (subject to the same conditions and limitations) as 
     are available to covered beneficiaries in that area under the

       (b) Effect on Current Enrollees.--(1) A covered beneficiary 
     who has been continuously enrolled on and after October 1, 
     1995, in a health care plan offered by a Uniformed Services 
     Treatment Facility pursuant to a contract between the

                   BENEFICIARIES OF CHAMPUS TO HEALTH CARE UNDER

       It is the sense of the Senate--
       (1) that the Secretary of Defense should develop a program 
     to ensure that covered beneficiaries who are eligible for 
     medicare under title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 
     U.S.C. 1395 et seq.) and who reside in a region in which the 
     TRICARE program has been implemented have adequate access to 
     health care services after the implementation of the TRICARE 
     program in that region; and
       (2) to support strongly, as a means of ensuring such 
     access, the reimbursement of the Department of Defense by the 
     Secretary of Health and Human Services for health care 
     services provided such beneficiaries at the medical treatment 
     facilities of the Department of Defense.

     Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the other 
     administering Secretaries, shall carry out a pilot program 
     for providing wraparound services to covered beneficiaries 
     who are children in need of mental health services. The 
     Secretary shall carry out the pilot program in one region in 
     which the TRICARE program has been implemented as of the 
     beginning of such fiscal year.
       (b) Wraparound Services Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, wraparound services are individualized mental health 
     services that a provider provides, principally in a 
     residential setting but also with follow-up services, in 
     return for payment on a case rate basis. For payment of the 
     case rate for a patient, the provider incurs the risk that it 
     will be necessary for the provider to provide the patient 
     with additional mental health services intermittently or on a 
     longer term basis after completion of the services provided 
     on a residential basis under a treatment plan.
       (c) Pilot Program Agreement.--Under the pilot program the 
     Secretary of Defense shall enter into an agreement with a 
     provider of mental health services that requires the 
     provider--
       (1) to provide wraparound services to covered beneficiaries 
     referred to in subsection (a);
       (2) to continue to provide such services to each 
     beneficiary as needed during the period of the agreement even 
     if the patient relocates outside the TRICARE program region 
     involved (but inside the United States) during that period; 
     and
       (3) to accept as payment for such services an amount not in 
     excess of the amount of the standard CHAMPUS residential 
     treatment clinic benefit payable with respect to the covered 
     beneficiary concerned (as determined in accordance with 
     section 8.1 of chapter 3 of volume II of the CHAMPUS policy 
     manual).
       (d) Report.--Not later than March 1, 1997, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the Committee on National Security of the 
     House of Representatives a report on the program carried out 
     under this section. The report shall contain--
       (1) an assessment of the effectiveness of the program; and
       (2) the Secretary's views regarding whether the program 
     should be implemented in all regions where the TRICARE 
     program is carried out.

     SEC. 1013. NAMING AMPHIBIOUS SHIPS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that:
       (1) This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of 
     Iwo Jima, one of the great victories in all of the Marine 
     Corps' illustrious history.
       (2) The Navy has recently retired the ship that honored 
     that battle, the U.S.S. IWO JIMA (LPH-2), the first ship in a 
     class of amphibious assault ships.
       (3) This Act authorizes the LHD-7, the final ship of the 
     Wasp class of amphibious assault ships that will replace the 
     Iwo Jima class of ships.
       (4) The Navy is planning to start building a new class of 
     amphibious transport docks, now called the LPD-17 class. This 
     Act also authorizes funds that will lead to procurement of 
     these vessels.

     naming new naval vessels with traditional naming conventions 
     frequently violated.
       (6) Although there have been good and sufficient reasons to 
     depart from naming conventions in the past, the rationale for 
     such departures has not always been clear.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--In light of these findings, 
     expressed in subsection (a), it is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Secretary of the Navy should:
       (1) Name the LHD-7 the U.S.S. IWO JIMA.
       (2) Name the LPD-17 and all future ships of the LPD-17 
     class after famous Marine Corps battles or famous Marine 
     Corps heroes.

     strength.
       (5) The Department of Defense evaluates license 
     applications for the export of commodities whose export is 
     controlled for national security reasons if such commodities

     commodities if such commodities are exported to other 
     countries.
       (b)  Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the maintenance of the military advantage of the United 
     States depends on effective export controls on dual-use items 
     and technologies that are critical to the military 
     capabilities of the Armed Forces;
       (2) the Government should identify the dual-use items and 
     technologies that are critical to the military capabilities 
     of the Armed Forces, including the military use made of such 
     items and technologies, and should reevaluate the export 
     control policy of the United States in light of such 
     identification; and
       (3) the Government should utilize unilateral export 
     controls on dual-use items and technologies that are critical 
     to the military capabilities of the Armed Forces (regardless 
     of the availability of such items or technologies overseas) 
     with respect to the countries that--
       (A) pose a threat to the national security interests of the 
     United States; and
       (B) are not members in good standing of bilateral or 
     multilateral agreements to which the United States is a party

     export to the country;
       (ii) the categories of items that should be exported to the 
     country only under an individual license with conditions; and
       (iii) the categories of items that may be exported to the 
     country under a general distribution license.
       (C) For each category of items listed under clauses (ii) 
     and (iii) of subparagraph (B)--
       (i) a statement whether export controls on the category of 
     items are to be imposed under a multilateral international 
     agreement or a unilateral decision of the United States; and
       (ii) a justification for the decision not to prohibit the 
     export of the items to the country.
       (D) A description of United States policy on sharing 
     satellite imagery that has military significance and a 
     discussion of the criteria for determining the imagery that

     Control Regime.
       (G) An assessment of the on-going efforts made by potential 
     participant countries in the Missile Technology Control 
     Regime to meet the guidelines established by the Missile 
     Technology Control Regime.
       (H) A brief discussion of the history of the space launch 
     vehicle programs of other countries, including a discussion 
     of the military origins and purposes of such programs and the 
     current level of military involvement in such programs.
       (3) The Secretary shall submit the report in unclassified 
     form but may include a classified annex.
       (4) In this subsection, the term ``Missile Technology 
     Control Regime'' means the policy statement between the 
     United States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of 
     Germany, France, Italy, Canada, and Japan, announced on April 
     16, 1987, to restrict sensitive missile-relevant transfers 
     based on the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex, and any 
     amendments thereto.

     community, review each application that is submitted to the 
     Secretary of Commerce for an individual validated license for 
     the export of a class 2, class 3, or class 4 biological 
     pathogen to a country known or suspected to have an offensive 
     biological weapons program. The purpose of the review is to 
     determine if the export of the pathogen pursuant to the 
     license would be contrary to the national security interests 
     of the United States.
       (2) The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State and the intelligence community, shall 
     periodically inform the Secretary of Commerce as to the 
     countries known or suspected to have an offensive biological 
     weapons program.
       (3) In order to facilitate the review of an application for 
     an export license by appropriate elements of the intelligence 
     committee under paragraph (1), the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit a copy of the application to such appropriate 
     elements.
       (4) The Secretary of Defense shall carry out the review of 
     an application under this subsection not later than 30 days 
     after the date on which the Secretary of Commerce forwards a 
     copy of the application to the Secretary of Defense for 
     review.
       (5) Upon completion of the review of an application for an 
     export license under this subsection, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall notify the Secretary of Commerce if the export 
     of a biological pathogen pursuant to the license would be 
     contrary to the national security interests of the United 
     States.
       (6) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon 
     receipt of a notification with respect to an application for 
     an export license under paragraph (5), the Secretary of 
     Commerce shall deny the application.
       (7) In this subsection:
       (A) The term ``class 2, class 3, or class 4 biological 
     pathogen'' means any biological pathogen characterized as a 
     class 2, class 3, or class 4 biological pathogen by the 
     Centers for Disease Control.
       (B) The term ``intelligence community'' has the meaning 
     given such term in section 3(4) of the National Security Act 
     of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a(4).

       (1) The President and Congress have repeatedly declared the 
     long-standing United States commitment to maintaining the 
     qualitative superiority of the Israel Defense Forces over any 
     combination of potential adversaries.
       (2) Congress continues to recognize the many benefits to 
     the United States from its strategic relationship with 
     Israel, including that of enhanced regional stability and 
     technical cooperation.
       (3) Despite the historic peace effort in which Israel and 
     its neighbors are engaged, Israel continues to face severe 
     potential threats to its national security that are 
     compounded by terrorism and by the proliferation of weapons 
     of mass destruction and ballistic missiles.
       (4) Congress supports enhanced United States cooperation 
     with Israel in all fields and, especially, in finding new 
     ways to deter or counter mutual threats.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should ensure that any conventional 
     defense system or technology offered by the United States for 
     sale to any member nation of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) or to any major non-NATO ally is 
     concurrently made available for purchase by Israel unless the 
     President determines that it would not be in the national 
     security interests of the United States to do so; and
       (2) the President should make available to Israel, within 
     existing technology transfer laws, regulations, and policies, 
     advanced United States technology necessary for achieving 
     continued progress in cooperative United States-Israel 
     research and development of theater missile defenses.

                   HAIFA, ISRAEL.

       It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Navy 
     should promptly undertake such actions as are necessary--
       (1) to improve the services available to the Navy at the 
     Port of Haifa, Israel; and
       (2) to ensure that the continuing increase in commercial 
     activities at the Port of Haifa does not adversely affect the 
     availability to the Navy of the services required by the Navy 
     at the port.

     SEC. 1058. INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) it is in the national security interest of the United 
     States to promote military professionalism (including an 
     understanding of and respect for the proper role of the 
     military in a civilian-led democratic society), the effective 
     management of defense resources, the recognition of 
     internationally recognized human rights, and an effective 
     military justice system within the armed forces of allies of 
     the United States and of countries friendly to the United 
     States;
       (2) it is in the national security interest of the United 
     States to foster rapport, understanding, and cooperation 
     between the Armed Forces of the United States and the armed 
     forces of allies of the United States 

[[Page H288]]
     and of countries friendly to the United States;
       (3) the international military education and training 
     program is a low-cost method of promoting military 
     professionalism within the armed forces of allies of the 
     United States and of countries friendly to the United 
     States and fostering better relations between the Armed 
     Forces of the United States and those armed forces;
       (4) the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact 
     alliance and the spread of democracy in the Western 
     Hemisphere have created an opportunity to promote the 
     military professionalism of the armed forces of the affected 
     nations;
       (5) funding for the international military education and 
     training program of the United States has decreased 
     dramatically in recent years;
       (6) the decrease in funding for the international military 
     education and training program has resulted in a major 
     decrease in the participation of personnel from Asia, Latin 
     America, and Africa in the program;
       (7) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the 
     commanders in chief of the regional combatant commands have 
     consistently testified before congressional committees that 
     the international military education and training program 
     fosters cooperation with and improves military management, 
     civilian control over the military forces, and respect for 
     human rights within foreign military forces; and
       (8) the delegation by the President to the Secretary of 
     Defense of authority to perform functions relating to the 
     international military education and training program is 
     appropriate and should be continued.
       (b) Activities Authorized.--(1) Part I of subtitle A of

     executive agreement or any policy not part of an arms control

     arms control agreement; and
       (B) the United States has no responsibility under the 
     agreement.
       (2) The limitation in paragraph (1) does not apply to a use 
     of funds to fulfill a policy of the United States to 
     reimburse expenses incurred by another party to an arms 
     control agreement if--
       (A) the policy does not modify any obligation imposed by 
     the arms control agreement;
       (B) the President--
       (i) issued or approved the policy before the date of the 
     enactment of this Act; or
       (ii) has entered into an agreement on the policy with the 
     government of another country or has approved an agreement on 
     the policy entered into by an official of the United States 
     and the government of another country; and
       (C) the President has notified the congressional defense 
     committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, 
     and the Committee on International Relations of the House of 
     Representatives of the policy or the policy agreement (as the 
     case may be), in writing, at least 30 days before the date on

       (c) Definitions.--In this section:

     SEC. 1061. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON LIMITING THE PLACING OF 
                   UNITED STATES FORCES UNDER UNITED NATIONS 
                   COMMAND OR CONTROL.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the President has made United Nations peace operations 
     a major component of the foreign and security policies of the 
     United States;
       (2) the President has committed United States military 
     personnel under United Nations operational control to 
     missions in Haiti, Croatia, and Macedonia that could endanger 
     those personnel;
       (3) the President has committed the United States to deploy 
     as many as 25,000 military personnel to Bosnia-Herzegovina as 
     peacekeepers under United Nations command and control in the 
     event that the parties to that conflict reach a peace 
     agreement;
       (4) although the President has insisted that he will retain 
     command of United States forces at all times, in the past 
     this has meant administrative control of United States forces 
     only, while operational control has been ceded to United 
     Nations commanders, some of whom were foreign nationals;
       (5) the experience of United States forces participating in 
     combined United States-United Nations operations in Somalia, 
     and in combined United Nations-NATO operations in the former 
     Yugoslavia, demonstrate that prerequisites for effective 
     military operations such as unity of command and clarity of 
     mission have not been met by United Nations command and 
     control arrangements; and
       (6) despite the many deficiencies in the conduct of United 
     Nations peace operations, there may be occasions when it is 
     in the national security interests of the United States to 
     participate in such operations.
       (b) Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should consult closely with Congress 
     regarding any United Nations peace operation that could 
     involve United States combat forces, and that such 
     consultations should continue throughout the duration of such 
     activities;
       (2) the President should consult with Congress prior to a 
     vote within the United Nations Security Council on any 
     resolution which would authorize, extend, or revise the 
     mandates for such activities;
       (3) in view of the complexity of United Nations peace 
     operations and the difficulty of achieving unity of command 
     and expeditious decisionmaking, the United States should 
     participate in such operations only when it is clearly in the 
     national security interest to do so;
       (4) United States combat forces should be under the 
     operational control of qualified commanders and should have 
     clear and effective command and control arrangements and 
     rules of engagement (which do not restrict their self-defense 
     in any way) and clear and unambiguous mission statements; and
       (5) none of the Armed Forces of the United States should be 
     under the operational control of foreign nationals in United 
     Nations peace enforcement operations except in the most 
     extraordinary circumstances.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       (1) the term ``United Nations peace enforcement 
     operations'' means any international peace enforcement or 
     similar activity that is authorized by the United Nations 
     Security Council under chapter VII of the Charter of the 
     United Nations; and
       (2) the term ``United Nations peace operations'' means any 
     international peacekeeping, peacemaking, peace enforcement, 
     or similar activity that is authorized by the United Nations 
     Security Council under chapter VI or VII of the Charter of 
     the United Nations.

     SEC. 1062. SENSE OF SENATE ON PROTECTION OF UNITED STATES 
                   FROM BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACK.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and 
     ballistic missiles presents a threat to the entire World. 
     
[[Page H289]]

       (2) This threat was recognized by Secretary of Defense 
     William J. Perry in February 1995 in the Annual Report to the 
     President and the Congress which states that ``[b]eyond the 
     five declared nuclear weapons states, at least 20 other 
     nations have acquired or are attempting to acquire weapons of 
     mass destruction--nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons--
     and the means to deliver them. In fact, in most areas where 
     United States forces could potentially be engaged on a large 
     scale, many of the most likely adversaries already possess 
     chemical and biological weapons. Moreover, some of these same 
     states appear determined to acquire nuclear weapons.''.
       (3) At a summit in Moscow in May 1995, President Clinton 
     and President Yeltsin commented on this threat in a Joint 
     Statement which recognizes `` . . . the threat posed by 
     worldwide proliferation of missiles and missile technology 
     and the necessity of counteracting this threat . . . ''.
       (4) At least 25 countries may be developing weapons of mass 
     destruction and the delivery systems for such weapons.
       (5) At least 24 countries have chemical weapons programs in 
     various stages of research and development.
       (6) Approximately 10 countries are believed to have 
     biological weapons programs in various stages of development.
       (7) At least 10 countries are reportedly interested in the 
     development of nuclear weapons.
       (8) Several countries recognize that weapons of mass 
     destruction and missiles increase their ability to deter, 
     coerce, or otherwise threaten the United States. Saddam 
     Hussein recognized this when he stated, on May 8, 1990, that 
     ``[o]ur missiles cannot reach Washington. If they could reach 
     Washington, we would strike it if the need arose.''.
       (9) International regimes like the Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty, the Biological Weapons Convention, and the Missile 
     Technology Control Regime, while effective, cannot by 
     themselves halt the spread of weapons and technology. On 
     January 10, 1995, Director of Central Intelligence, James 
     Woolsey, said with regard to Russia that `` . . . we are 
     particularly concerned with the safety of nuclear, chemical, 
     and biological materials as well as highly enriched uranium 
     or plutonium, although I want to stress that this is a global 
     problem. For example, highly enriched uranium was recently 
     stolen from South Africa, and last month Czech authorities 
     recovered three kilograms of 87.8 percent-enriched HEU in the 
     Czech Republic--the largest seizure of near-weapons grade 
     material to date outside the Former Soviet Union.''.
       (10) The possession of weapons of mass destruction and 
     missiles by developing countries threatens our friends, 
     allies, and forces abroad and will ultimately threaten the 
     United States directly. On August 11, 1994, Deputy Secretary 
     of Defense John Deutch said that ``[i]f the North Koreans 
     field the Taepo Dong 2 missile, Guam, Alaska, and parts of 
     Hawaii would potentially be at risk.''.
       (11) The end of the Cold War has changed the strategic 
     environment facing and between the United States and Russia. 
     That the Clinton Administration believes the environment to 
     have changed was made clear by Secretary of Defense William 
     J. Perry on September 20, 1994, when he stated that ``[w]e 
     now have the opportunity to create a new relationship, based 
     not on MAD, not on Mutual Assured Destruction, but rather on 
     another acronym, MAS, or Mutual Assured Safety.''.
       (12) The United States and Russia have the opportunity to 
     create a relationship based on trust rather than fear.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     all Americans should be protected from accidental, 
     intentional, or limited ballistic missile attack. It is the 
     further sense of the Senate that front-line troops of the 
     United States Armed Forces should be protected from missile 
     attacks.
       (c) Funding for Corps SAM and Boost-Phase Interceptor 
     Programs.--
       (1) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act, of the 
     funds authorized to be appropriated by section 201(4), 
     $35,000,000 shall be available for the Corps SAM/MEADS 
     program.
       (2) With a portion of the funds authorized in paragraph (1) 
     for the Corps SAM/MEADS program, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall conduct a study to determine whether a Theater Missile 
     Defense system derived from Patriot technologies could 
     fulfill the Corps SAM/MEADS requirements at a lower estimated 
     life-cycle cost than is estimated for the cost of the United 
     States portion of the Corps SAM/MEADS program.
       (3) The Secretary shall provide a report on the study 
     required under paragraph (2) to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than March 1, 1996.
       (4) Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by section 
     201(4), not more than $3,403,413,000 shall be available for 
     missile defense programs within the Ballistic Missile Defense 
     Organization.
       (d) Obligation of Funds.--Of the amounts referred to in 
     section (c)(1), $10,000,000 may not be obligated until the 
     report referred to in subsection (c)(2) is submitted to the 
     congressional defense committees.

     Subparagraph (A) of section 1608(7) of such Act is amended to 
     read as follows:
       ``(A) any assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act of 
     1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.), other than urgent humanitarian 
     assistance or medicine;''.

       (a) Reports by Secretary of State.--Not later than 180 days

     submitted in both a classified and unclassified version.
       (2) Each report under paragraph (1) shall--

     given for a student or (in the case of an individual younger 
     than 18 years of age) a parent to inform the institution that 
     any or all of such information should not be released without 
     obtaining prior consent from the student or the parent, as 
     the case may be; and

     SEC. 1094. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING ETHICS COMMITTEE 
                   INVESTIGATION.

       (a) The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Senate Select Committee on Ethics has a thirty-one 
     year tradition of handling investigations of official 
     misconduct in a bipartisan, fair and professional manner;
       (2) the Ethics Committee, to ensure fairness to all parties 
     in any investigation, must conduct its responsibilities 
     strictly according to established procedure and free from 
     outside interference;
       (3) the rights of all parties to bring an ethics complaint 
     against a member, officer, or employee of the Senate are 
     protected by the official rules and precedents of the Senate 
     and the Ethics Committee;
       (4) any Senator responding to a complaint before the Ethics 
     Committee deserves a fair and non-partisan hearing according 
     to the rules of the Ethics Committee;
       (5) the rights of all parties in an investigation--both the 
     individuals who bring a complaint or testify against a 
     Senator, and any Senator charged with an ethics violation--
     can only be protected by strict adherence to the established 
     rules and procedures of the ethics process;
       (6) the integrity of the Senate and the integrity of the 
     Ethics Committee rest on the continued adherence to 
     precedents and rules, derived from the Constitution; and,
       (7) the Senate as a whole has never intervened in any 
     ongoing Senate Ethics Committee investigation, and has 
     considered matters before that Committee only after the 
     Committee has submitted a report and recommendations to the 
     Senate;
       (b) Therefore, it is the Sense of the Senate that the 
     Select committee on Ethics should not, in the case of Senator 
     Robert Packwood of Oregon, deviate from its customary and 
     standard procedure, and should, prior to the Senate's final 
     resolution of the case, follow whatever procedures it deems 
     necessary and appropriate to provide a full and complete 
     public record of the relevant evidence in this case.

     SEC. 1095. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING FEDERAL SPENDING.

       It is the sense of the Senate that in pursuit of a balanced 
     Federal budget, Congress should exercise fiscal restraint, 
     particularly in authorizing spending not requested by the 
     Executive Branch and in proposing new programs.

     403) is amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(e) In the event that neither the Director nor Deputy 
     Director of Central Intelligence is a commissioned officer of 
     the Armed Forces, a commissioned officer of the Armed Forces 
     appointed to the position of Associate Director of Central 
     Intelligence for Military Support, while serving in such 
     position, shall not be counted against the numbers and 
     percentages of commissioned officers of the rank and grade of 
     such officer authorized for the armed force of which such 
     officer is a member.''.

     including, specifically, a discussion of--
       (A) whether there is a Federal interest in expanding or 
     modernizing the National Communications System in light of 
     the changing strategic national security environment and the 
     revolution in information technologies; and
       (B) the best use of the National Communications System and

     of a larger national strategy to protect the United States 
     against a strategic attack on the national information 
     infrastructure.

     SEC. 1099. LANDMINE USE MORATORIUM.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On September 26, 1994, the President declared that it 
     is a goal of the United States to eventually eliminate 
     antipersonnel landmines.
       (2) On December 15, 1994, the United Nations General 
     Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by the United States 
     which called for international efforts to eliminate 
     antipersonnel landmines.
       (3) According to the Department of State, there are an 
     estimated 80,000,000 to 110,000,000 unexploded landmines in 
     62 countries.
       (4) Antipersonnel landmines are routinely used against 
     civilian populations and kill and maim an estimated 70 people 
     each day, or 26,000 people each year.
       (5) The Secretary of State has noted that landmines are 
     ``slow-motion weapons of mass destruction''.
       (6) There are hundreds of varieties of antipersonnel 
     landmines, from a simple type available at a cost of only two 
     dollars to the more complex self-destructing type, and all 
     landmines of whatever variety kill and maim civilians, as 
     well as combatants, indiscriminately.
       (b) Conventional Weapons Convention Review.--It is the 
     sense of Congress that, at the United Nations conference to 
     review the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention, including 
     Protocol II on landmines, that is to be held from September 
     25 to October 13, 1995, the President should actively support 
     proposals to modify Protocol II that would implement as 
     rapidly as possible the United States goal of eventually 
     eliminating antipersonnel landmines.
       (c) Moratorium on Use of Antipersonnel Landmines.--
       (1) United states moratorium.--(A) For a period of one year 
     beginning three years after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, the United States shall not use antipersonnel landmines 
     except along internationally recognized national borders or 
     in demilitarized zones within a perimeter marked area that is 
     monitored by military personnel and protected by adequate 
     means to ensure the exclusion of civilians.
       (B) If the President determines, before the end of the 
     period of the United States moratorium under subparagraph 
     (A), that the governments of other nations are implementing 
     moratoria on use of antipersonnel landmines similar to the 
     United States moratorium, the President may extend the period 
     of the United States moratorium for such additional period as 
     the President considers appropriate.
       (2) Other nations.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
     President should actively encourage the governments of other 
     nations to join the United States in solving the global 
     landmine crisis by implementing moratoria on use of 
     antipersonnel landmines similar to the United States 
     moratorium as a step toward the elimination of antipersonnel 
     landmines.
       (d) Antipersonnel Landmine Exports.--It is the sense of 
     Congress that, consistent with the United States moratorium 
     on exports of antipersonnel landmines and in order to further 
     discourage the global proliferation of antipersonnel 
     landmines, the United States Government should not sell, 
     license for export, or otherwise transfer defense articles 
     and services to any foreign government which, as determined 
     by the President, sells, exports, or otherwise transfers 
     antipersonnel landmines.
       (e) Definitions.--
       For purposes of this Act:
       (1) Antipersonnel landmine.--The term ``antipersonnel 
     landmine'' means any munition placed under, on, or near the 
     ground or other surface area, delivered by artillery, rocket, 
     mortar, or similar means, or dropped from an aircraft and 
     which is designed, constructed, or adapted to be detonated or 
     exploded by the presence, proximity, or contact of a person.
       (2) 1980 conventional weapons convention.--The term ``1980 
     Conventional Weapons Convention'' means the Convention on 
     Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain 
     Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed To Be Excessively 
     Injurious or To Have Indiscriminate Effects, together with 
     the protocols relating thereto, done at Geneva on October 10, 
     1980.

     United States victory over Japan in World War II.
       (2) The Battle of Midway proved to be the turning point in 
     the war in the Pacific, as United States Navy forces 
     inflicted such severe losses on the Imperial Japanese Navy 
     during the battle that the Imperial Japanese Navy never again 
     took the offensive against United States or allied forces.
       (3) During the Battle of Midway, an outnumbered force of 
     the United States Navy, consisting of 29 ships and other 
     units of the Armed Forces under the command of Admiral Nimitz 
     and Admiral Spruance, out-maneuvered and out-fought 350 ships 
     of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
       (4) It is in the public interest to erect a memorial to the 
     Battle of Midway that is suitable to express the enduring 
     gratitude of the American people for victory in the battle 
     and to inspire future generations of Americans with the 
     heroism and sacrifice of the members of the Armed Forces who 
     achieved that victory.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Midway Islands and the surrounding seas deserve to 
     be memorialized;
       (2) the historic structures related to the Battle of Midway 
     should be maintained, in accordance with the National 
     Historic Preservation Act, and subject to the availability of 
     appropriations for that purpose.
       (3) appropriate access to the Midway Islands by survivors 
     of the Battle of Midway, their families, and other visitors 
     should be provided in a manner that ensures the public health 
     and safety on the Midway Islands and the conservation and 
     natural resources of those islands in accordance with 
     existing Federal law.

     reutilization.
       (2) The review shall include an analysis of--
       (A) the results of the physical and chemical integrity 
     report conducted by the Army on existing stockpile;
       (B) a determination of the viability of transportation of 
     any portion of the stockpile, to include drained agent from 
     munitions and the munitions;
       (C) the safety, cost-effectiveness, and public 
     acceptability of transporting the stockpile, in its current 
     configuration, or in alternative configurations;
       (D) the economic effects of closure, realignment, or 
     reutilization of the facilities referred to in paragraph (1) 
     on the communities referred to in that paragraph; and
       (E) the unique problems that such communities face with 
     respect to the reuse of such facilities as a result of the 
     operations referred to in paragraph (1).
       (b) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the

     SEC. 1099F. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON CHEMICAL WEAPONS 
                   CONVENTION AND START II TREATY RATIFICATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) Proliferation of chemical or nuclear weapons materials 
     poses a danger to United States national security, and the 
     threat or use of such materials by terrorists would directly 
     threaten United States citizens at home and abroad.
       (2) The Chemical Weapons Convention negotiated and signed 
     by President Bush would make it more difficult for would-be 
     proliferators, including terrorists, to acquire or use 
     chemical weapons, if ratified and fully implemented as 
     signed, by all signatories.
       (3) The START II Treaty negotiated and signed by President 
     Bush would help reduce the danger of potential proliferators, 
     including terrorists, acquiring nuclear warheads and 
     materials, and would contribute to United States-Russian 
     bilateral efforts to secure and dismantle nuclear warheads, 
     if ratified and fully implemented as signed by both parties.
       (4) It is in the national security interest of the United 
     States to take effective steps to make it harder for 
     proliferators or would-be terrorists to obtain chemical or 
     nuclear materials for use in weapons.
       (5) The President has urged prompt Senate action on, and 
     advice and consent to ratification of, the START II Treaty 
     and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
       (6) The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has testified 
     to Congress that ratification and full implementation of both 
     treaties by all parties is in the United States national 
     interest, and has strongly urged prompt Senate advice and 
     consent to their ratification.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the United States and all other parties to the START II 
     and Chemical Weapons Convention should promptly ratify and 
     fully implement, as negotiated, both treaties.

                      motion offered by mr. spence

  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Spence moves to strike all after the enacting clause of 
     S. 1124 and insert in lieu thereof the text of H.R. 1530 as 
     reported by the committee of conference on December 13, 1995, 
     contained in House Report 104-406.

  (For text of H.R. 1530 see proceeding of the House of December 13, 
1995 at page H14378.)
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. 
Spence] is recognized for 1 hour.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield back 30 minutes of time, and yield 
15 minutes to the gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums] and ask 
unanimous consent that the gentleman be allowed to control that time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from South Carolina?
  There is no objection.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania [Mr. Weldon].
  (Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to revise 
and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from 
South Carolina [Mr. Spence], our distinguished chairman, for yielding, 
and I thank the distinguished gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums], 
ranking member, for his cooperation in this effort to reopen the 
conference to attempt to come to some agreement on some very important 
items that we, as authorizers, feel have to be addressed in this 
session of the Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, while all of us are aware that there were areas of 
passionate disagreement in the final context of the bill that was on 
this floor not many days ago, there is also a lot more area where there 
is agreement. All of us on the authorization committee, and I think all 
of us in this body, understand the importance of passing an 
authorization bill to authorize and set the parameters for those 
programs that are going to be funded through the appropriation process.
  Mr. Speaker, it would be a terrible tragedy not to implement the 
acquisition reform items that are in this bill. It would be a terrible 
tragedy not to pass the pay raise, and to deal with the Guard and 
Reserve issues that were supported by Members of both sides of the 
aisle.
  Even in the area of such contentious issues as missile defense there 
are areas where we agree, where we can come together and try to find 
some middle ground. We in this conference may continue to disagree in 
this area, but we will commit ourselves to work together and try to get 
a bill out that not only can this body support, but the other body will 
support and that this President can sign into law so that we can, in 
fact, complete our process as required under the Constitution and the 
rules of this Congress whereby the authorizers set the overall 
parameters for defense spending.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud the leadership on both sides of the aisle for 
this commitment. As I have told our chairman, I am prepared to work 
night and day until we reach an agreement for a defense bill that we 
all can agree on.
  I would ask our colleagues to work with us in this process and to 
understand that there are many more areas of agreement than there are 
areas of disagreement. Even though we may have to do some compromissing 
here, that does not mean that we will not be back for another battle 
another day in this area on those issues that we could not get in this 
particular authorization bill.
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Skelton].
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from California, my 
good friend, former chairman of this committee.
   Mr. Speaker, we have troops in Bosnia. We have troops on the way to 
Bosnia. The least we can do is to pass this authorization bill to go to 
conference, because there are so many, many items in this bill that are 
noncontroversial that will help the troops, that will help their 
families, that will 

[[Page H303]]
give them better living conditions, that will help retrain them in the 
military, and will also give them that very necessary money for 
training.
   Mr. Speaker, if we do not pass an authorization bill, it will be 
something that has not happened for decades, over 2 decades in this 
body. We cannot let this body, or the other body, not pass an 
authorization bill which means so much to those men and women, whether 
they be aboard ship, in airplanes, or on the ground in Bosnia.
   Mr. Speaker, I support this motion, and I compliment the gentleman 
from South Carolina [Mr. Spence], the gentleman from California [Mr. 
Dellums], my friend, and the effort that they have put into this. I 
especially appreciate the discussion that my friend from California had 
regarding the housing allowance and the pay raise that the troops are 
so greatly entitled to.
   Mr. Speaker, I urge the adoption of this motion.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Cunningham].
  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, I have served on two committees that I 
though were probably the most bipartisan committees in this body. One 
of those is one of the committees that we did away with under Chairman 
Jones and Chairman Studds, the Committee on the Merchant Marine and 
Fisheries, in which the two groups, the two different parties came 
together and I think fought for what was important to the American 
people.
  The second of those committees is the Committee on National Security. 
Even though the previous chairman, the gentleman from California [Mr. 
Dellums] and I have disagreed on issues, he has always been fair, 
except maybe on one small area that we had some conflict on. But I 
think the reason for that is that the members of that committee are 
there to help the men and women that we support, and I think that is 
why we passed this bill out 46 to 3. I do not know of very many 
committees that you could get that kind of support on both sides of the 
aisle to do.

                              {time}  1830

  Another area, the night we had the resolution on Bosnia, I said, 
please, the resolutions basically in my opinion did not mean very much. 
What to follow is as far as how we support the troops.
  How do we do that? We do it with training so that they have the 
skills to use the equipment that we want to give them, which is better 
equipment than what they could potentially face. Even more important 
than that, if you go off to war, you want to know that your family is 
taken care of.
  Those are important. It is not only important for the combat but it 
is important for the retention of those people in quality.
  For those reasons, I ask that my colleagues support the following 
resolution, and ask that in the end result the conference will take a 
look at only the areas of disagreement because I think they can be 
worked out.
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentlewoman from Colorado [Mrs. Schroeder].
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. I thank the gentleman from California for yielding me 
the time.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the chairman of the committee and the 
gentleman from California for their colloquy because it said what we 
really want every single person in uniform to understand. There is 
absolutely no dispute about their getting their 2.4 percent pay raise. 
There is no dispute about the retroactivity of that. None. By either 
side of this aisle. Nor is there any dispute about their getting their 
increased housing allowance which we know they desperately need. What 
we want to do is make sure absolutely no one is putting any stress on 
any member of our military. They have got enough stress on them as it 
is without their being worried about their housing.
  Basically I want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for 
making it very clear. Those issues are nonpartisan, those issues are 
bipartisan, those issues I think are unanimous in this body, and that 
we do not want one person in uniform or one person in uniform's 
dependent going to bed tonight worried about those. Those are going to 
be bankable one way or another. I think that is what we heard in that 
colloquy. I am very pleased about that, and I thank both the gentleman 
from South Carolina and the gentleman from California for their 
patience with me and many others who were trying to work this out.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Hunter], the chairman of the Subcommittee on Military 
Procurement.
  Mr. HUNTER. I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time.
  Mr. Speaker, let me thank the ranking member, the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Dellums], for his cooperation in this effort to have 
another shot at the authorization bill, and also the gentleman from 
Missouri [Mr. Skelton]. Let me just tell my colleagues that when we put 
this bill together and when we do anything with respect to armed 
services, as the gentleman from California, Mr. Cunningham has said, we 
have as many meetings in the Democrat offices--in this case in Ike 
Skelton's office--on our procurement subcommittee as we have in my 
office in trying to ascertain, after the hearings are over, what our 
military needs to protect the country are.
  Obviously the White House has some very specific objections--a 
laundry list, if you will--of very specific objections to this bill and 
we have to work around those objections. The gentleman from California 
[Mr. Dellums] has laid them out fairly thoroughly in the debate that we 
had in the effort to override the President's veto.
  Let me just say in a couple of areas that the gentleman from Colorado 
[Mr. Hefley] is right and the gentlewoman from Colorado [Mrs. 
Schroeder] is right. We have the pay raise, which is absolutely 
important to our people. We have the increased housing allowance. We 
have a number of other quality of life issues that we need to get 
passed. We owe them to our people in uniform. That is the real vote to 
support the troops in Bosnia, is to support their families and support 
their standard of living, and Members can do that by helping us get 
this bill back the second time around.
  With respect to missile defense, the President has some problems with 
the missile defense provisions that we placed in the bill the first 
time around. We need to work on those provisions, to try to accommodate 
the White House.
  On the other hand, let me just remind my colleagues that we live in 
an age of missiles. Immediately after Desert Storm, this House rose as 
a body and established that we should have a defense, a national 
defense against ballistic missiles. We were sensitive to it because we 
saw the Scuds coming in and hitting our troops in Saudi Arabia and 
causing the greatest distress that was caused in that war with respect 
to American personnel.
  So we rose as a body. The Senate rose as a body and in 1991 we said 
we are going to have a missile defense by 1996. It is now 1996 and we 
have nothing. A few months after the war was over, we forgot about it 
and we went on with business as usual. We need to remind this President 
that this is a very, very sensitive and very, very serious area that we 
must address.

  So as we move into these negotiations, I know it is going to be 
important that we have the cooperation--and I know we will have it, and 
I know he has pledged to do it and he is a fair individual--of the 
ranking member of the full committee, the gentleman from California 
[Mr. Dellums], working along with his other members to see to it that 
the administration communicates with us in a very clear and concise 
way, and that they remember that even the President of the United 
States has an interest in missile defense. He has got troops in 
theaters all over the world now, and some of those troops are going to 
be exposed at least to short-range ballistic missiles and to date, 
ladies and gentlemen, we have no effective defense against incoming 
ballistic missiles shot at our troops in theater or shot at any of the 
United States.
  Second, the U.N. command and control is going to be an area of 
consternation, I think, in this second attempt that we are going to 
have to pass the bill, and I know it is an area the President has 
problems with. The gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums] has talked 
about that.

[[Page H304]]

  But under the leadership of our chairman, the gentleman from South 
Carolina [Mr. Spence], I think we laid out some very commonsense 
constraints that every family that has a young man or woman in uniform 
is interested in getting passed. That is, to see to it that there is a 
clear chain of command and accountability from every young person in 
uniform to their commander. I would simply say let us work in 
conference. We look to the White House to be cooperative with us and I 
hope it can get through the second time.
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 4 minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, let me just first respond to my colleague by saying 
these matters will be debated in the context of this now second 
opportunity to bring a conference report to the floor. But I would just 
like to establish a factual situation.
  For several years now, we have spent at least $400 million per year 
doing research on a national missile defense system. The last time I 
looked, $400 million was not a small amount of money. We have been 
spending between $2.6 and $2.8 billion per year on theater missile 
defense, a total of approximately $3.2 billion. Now we are talking 
about big money.
  So to assert in some way that this country is impotent in its 
research effort dealing with the issue of missile defense, either at 
the theater missile level or at the national missile level, is to fly 
in the face of the reality.
  Having said that, I would like to make the next observation. As the 
gentleman from California pointed out, we now have a second opportunity 
to deal with this conference. It seems to me that we are looking at 
simple mathematics here.
  If you pass a conference report that is acceptable to the President 
in a divided government, you need 218 votes. If you attempt to pass a 
conference report that is not acceptable to the administration in a 
divided government, you need 290 votes. You do not have to be too 
bright to realize that if you do not have 290 votes, the better part of 
valor is to attempt to pass a bill with 218 votes.
  You do not have 290 votes. You demonstrated the other day that you do 
not have 290 votes to override the President's veto. Therefore, I hope 
that we enter into these negotiations in good faith, to address the 
myriad concerns and certainly the principal concerns that were 
articulated by the administration in their veto message sustained by my 
colleagues in the Congress. If we do that, we only need 218 votes to 
send the bill over.
  Now the President had great concerns about ballistic missile defense/
ABM treaty. We could debate that for a while, as I understand that we 
are a filler for some other bill, so we are doing a little dance for 30 
minutes until some other legislation comes. I understand that. We could 
debate that matter here but we have debated that ad infinitum.
  It seems to me now the decision is the mathematics of passing 
legislation. Two hundred ninety votes, that is impossible at this point 
in this climate. Two hundred eighteen votes. So I hope we come 
together, address these issues of the constitutional concerns of the 
President, the ballistic missile/ABM treaty concerns, and bring a bill 
back here that does indeed embrace those good things but it takes out 
the things that were expensive, unnecessary, potentially dangerous.
  Now I am real happy because I wanted to yield to the gentleman the 
other day and I did not have too much time. I now yield to the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. I thank my friend and colleague for 
yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I would just add we did make an attempt, although it may 
have been a last minute attempt, to broker a deal with the White House 
and with the Senate Democrats on missile defense, and thought we were 
moving in that direction. The meeting we had with Bob Bell where we 
attempted to and in fact agreed to 12 specific changes, as I mentioned 
to my colleague, we thought was moving us in that direction. Evidently 
we did not move far enough.
  So I would just hope that, as our friend and colleague the gentleman 
from California [Mr. Hunter] mentioned, that the White House would 
engage us directly in this process so that we get clear signals in 
terms of what is acceptable and not acceptable, because we thought we 
were doing that in the negotiation on missile defense that led up to 
that bill that finally came to the House floor which the President 
threatened to veto.
  Mr. DELLUMS. I appreciate that.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 45 seconds to introduce the 
next person to whom I want to yield time.
  The gentleman from Florida [Mr. Young] is the chairman of the 
Subcommittee on National Security of the Committee on Appropriations. 
He is one of the strongest Members of this body of defense issues. He 
has been down the line, we have worked together in the very beginning 
of Congress to bring this bill to Congress and to bring his bill to the 
Congress. His bill was enacted into law when the President let it go 
into effect without his signature, but in any event Mr. Young knows 
what we are talking about.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Florida [Mr. 
Young].
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for the very 
unexpected and very flattering comments that he made. He is correct, he 
and I started along with the gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums] a 
number of years ago working on national defense issues in this 
Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to mention briefly a situation that exists and to 
compliment the Committee on National Security for something they did 
about it. The cost of living adjustments for retired military come at a 
different time in the year than the cost of living adjustments for 
retired civilian Federal employees. We would like to have equity and 
have both COLA's come at the same time.
  We thought we did that in the reconciliation bill, the Balanced 
Budget Act of 1995, but for some reason it was dropped out. At that 
time I introduced along with 320 of our colleagues, introduced H.R. 
2664 that would correct this inequity. When the Committee on National 
Security went to conference with the conferees from the other body, 
they dealt with this issue and they made this issue work. I would just 
compliment them for the good job they did in bringing about equity in 
the COLA issues and urge them to stand fast as they go back to 
conference to keep this issue before the conference and keep it in the 
bill that finally goes back to the President, so that we do not have to 
gear up H.R. 2664 again.
  But with 320 cosponsors, I think we can do that easily, Mr. Speaker. 
Again I compliment the members of the Committee on National Security 
for the good job they did in conference in trying to represent the 
viewpoint of the House for a strong national defense.

                              {time}  1845

  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to my distinguished 
colleague, the gentleman from California [Mr. Farr].
  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this 
time.
  I have four points I would like to make. First, I would like to 
associate myself with the remarks of the distinguished chairman of the 
Armed Services Appropriations Subcommittee, Defense Appropriations 
Committee, on the COLA equity issue. I agree it is totally essential 
that we bring that COLA equity to the military retirees.
  Second, I strongly support the effort in a bipartisan way to bring 
this bill to fruition so we can continue to support military education 
in this country. With the downsizing of the military, we, indeed, must 
support our military schools and open opportunities that these schools 
are experiencing, like naval postgraduate school and the seaman-to-
admiral program and the Defense Language Institute, which is doing a 
lot to help our troops in Bosnia and in Serbia to understand the 
Croatian and Serbian languages and help our troops with the translation 
that is going on with the 29 other countries that are now serving along 
with the NATO forces in Bosnia.
  Third, I would like to point out that this is a bill that really 
assists with the base closure issues that was not all in Milcon, the 
authorizations for bases to do what they have to do with base 

[[Page H305]]
closures, which is the largest base closure list we have ever had in 
this country, which is addressed in this legislation.
  Let us bring assurance to the veterans who had the gulf war syndrome. 
Last night a lot of news was indicating that perhaps there is not a 
specific individual syndrome, but in this authorization is the money 
available to continue to assist those veterans with that disease. And I 
appreciate the bipartisan effort to bring this to fruition in the bill.
  Lastly, let us support those troops in Bosnia. They are doing a good 
job with the NATO forces there. I think that this is a bill that can 
show that we support the troops 100 percent.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania [Mr. Clinger], chairman of the Committee on Government 
Reform and Oversight.
  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding this time 
to me.
  I want to commend him and the gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums] 
and all of the members of the Committee on National Security for giving 
us this opportunity to revisit this very, very important bill, the 
Defense authorization matter.
  I will point out that there are many items in this measure that have 
been approached in a very bipartisan way, on both sides of the aisle, 
and, indeed, with the administration.
  One of the ones that I would point to as having very strong support 
is on the acquisition reforms included in this measure. It is the most 
significant of the acquisition-procurement process in this country in a 
generation.
  Mr. Speaker, it would be a shame if we were to lose this very vital 
element, which the administration, the President, strongly supports.
  If we have one opportunity in this Congress to make substantial 
savings in the way this Government goes about buying goods and 
services, it is with the enactment of this bill. It is estimated that 
we spend not just in defense but across the board about 20 percent too 
much for both goods and services for everything the Federal Government 
buys. Enactment of the reforms that are included in this very important 
measure will enable us to basically save about 20 percent across the 
board.
  There is no other measure that I know of that has the promise of 
giving us those kinds of savings in this Congress.
  So I commend everybody who is associated with this chance to revisit 
and develop and come forward with a good Defense authorization bill.
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to my distinguished 
colleague, the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Peterson].
  Mr. PETERSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for 
yielding this time to me.
  I think this is a good time for us to go back and regroup. As one of 
the earlier speakers has said, we agree on many, many more things in 
this bill than we disagree on.
  We need to take advantage of this opportunity to go back and correct 
those disagreements and keep it capsulized into that area of 
disagreement and not open this thing all the way back up, and just 
focus on those thing and bring it back, bring it back so that all of 
us, this entire House, can feel good about voting for this conference 
report. That is what our mission is.
  We, again, have to focus on national security, and I say this, 
national security, not Republican security or Democratic security. It 
is time for us to make this a nonpartisan focus to make sure that we 
have equipped and have taken care of the quality-of-life factors for 
our military people in the U.S. armed services, and we do it as 
professionally, as adequately as we can possibly do that and do that on 
a bipartisan basis.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Dornan].
  Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, I heard that Mr. Clinton will sign this bill 
as is if Bill Dornan will just resign from the House. I am not ready to 
go that far. See his agents here?
  Let me follow the theme here this evening and mention some positive 
things, not just about this legislation where we all agree, as my 
friend from Florida said, the last speaker, there is so much good in 
this bill, but at least for my own chairmanship on the Subcommittee on 
Military Personnel, I have never had better members of the former 
majority, the current minority, to work with.
  I have taken to calling the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Pickett] my 
vice chairman. I think that if we did that around here the way they do 
in some State legislatures, that it would restore a little comity and 
dignity to the House. Sitting to his left is the gentleman from 
Mississippi [Mr. Montgomery], General Montgomery, who has been one of 
the most distinguished people to ever serve in this Chamber, post-World 
War II, because was busy during World War II, and to his left is the 
gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Skelton]. He is now an esteemed B-2 pilot, 
as I am one myself, and going right down the line, even those that 
philosophically disagreed with some of the things that we tried to 
enact into law and still believe will become law in that military 
subcommittee.
  When I talk to the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Weldon, and to 
the distinguished gentleman from Colorado, Mr. Hefley, what a delight 
to have him at my arm sitting there on the full committee; when I talk 
to the gentleman from California, Mr. Hunter, one of my closest friends 
in the House, and when I talk to the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. 
Bateman, they tell me that their experience as the five marshals under 
Sheriff Floyd Spence is exactly the same terrific cooperation and work 
between all the members of the Committee on National Security.
  Sometimes it gets a little hot in full committee, but there is not a 
time when there is a vote call that we are on elevators together that 
we are not all considering one another as friends.
  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DORNAN. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  After saying all of those things about the gentleman, I did not know 
he was on the floor. I saw somebody from San Diego dab a corner of 
their eye with a hanky, they hold you in some high esteem.
  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the gentleman for the great 
work that he did as chairman of personnel. You know, I think all of us 
owe a real debt to our chairman, the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. 
Spence], a person totally without guile, a straightforward guy who 
really presided over some pretty contentious sessions of the Committee 
on National Security and put this bill together and brought it around, 
at least for the first run, with his colleague from South Carolina, the 
chairman of the committee in the other body. He really pulled us all 
together, and I think did a great job as the first Republican chairman 
of the Committee on National Security since Dewey Short of Missouri in, 
what, 1953.
  Mr. DORNAN. Well, every time one of us compliments our chairman, I 
notice that our distinguished colleague from California gets a wistful 
look to ask how he did during his 2 years. If I get additional time, 
would you like to say something about the gentleman from California 
[Mr. Dellums]?
  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comity of the last several moments. I 
appreciate the cooperative language. I appreciate the cooperative 
efforts that have come forward in the last 25 minutes.
  The reality is that we are here because this effort unfortunately has 
been less than bipartisan. I hope that on this second effort that we 
will truly be bipartisan because when you, Mr. Speaker, assert your 
prerogatives as Speaker to appoint conferees, you will appoint both 
Republicans and Democrats, not just Republicans, not just Democrats, 
but both parties, and my hope is that the reality of the appointment of 
members of both parties is not lost on anyone in these Chambers.
  It would seem to me if we do go forward in this second effort in a 
true spirit of bipartisanship, where the handful of Members charged 
with this awesome responsibility are bringing back a conference report 
that is acceptable to this body and acceptable to the administration, 
that we would do it together in a room where Members will 

[[Page H306]]
face each other and will address these lofty and significant and 
important questions.
  I would suggest that the extent to which this is a bipartisan effort 
that this gentleman and others who will be appointed as conferees are 
legitimately part of the dynamics of the give-and-take of the trying to 
address the myriad difficulties that gave rise to the veto in the first 
place, that we will, indeed, come back with an effort that is worthy of 
bipartisan support.
  But I simply underscore that, not to take away nor to detract from 
the comity and the civility that has taken place in the last 30 
minutes. There has been too little of that in these Chambers. There has 
been too little of serious and significant grappling with the critical 
issues of our time that, Mr. Speaker, I am sure you and I would agree 
from time to time dwarf us as individuals. The issues of life and death 
that we confront are awesome, and when we have to put on top of that 
the stress and the pain of personal difficulties, anger, hostility and 
discourse that has sometimes characterized the business of this 
Chamber, it only makes the job worse.
  I would simply suggest that the awesome nature of the 
responsibilities we have are stressful enough, so I hope that the kind 
of comity that we struck here in terms of our ability to respect each 
other carries over into 1996. This Chamber needs it. This country needs 
it. The world needs it.

  I do not think the major and massive issues of our time can be 
confronted with the kind of sharp rhetoric and hostility that has 
characterized the efforts of these Chambers. So I hope that this will 
be characteristic. And I am trying to use up all of my 5 minutes in 
order to give everyone an opportunity.
  I think I have done about as able a job as I can, and I would like to 
thank my distinguished colleague for his cooperation.
   Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  I would like to just point out, reiterate what the gentleman from 
California just said.
  Remarks being made tonight on this floor by Members on both sides of 
the aisle point out the fact that this body can act in a bipartisan 
way. In recent days we have not had too much of this kind of talk. I 
think it resonates well with the ears of people and in the eyes of 
people who are looking in and listening tonight.
  I would like to reiterate what I said before: We have worked in a 
bipartisan way on this committee. The bill was reported out by a vote 
of 38 to 3, and we have been bipartisan in our efforts since that time, 
and I thank all for their cooperation on the other side of the aisle.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Bunning of Kentucky). The question is on 
the motion offered by the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. Spence].
  The motion was agreed to.
  The Senate bill was ordered to be read a third time, was read the 
third time, and passed.
  The title of the Senate bill was amended so as to read:

       An act to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1996 for 
     military activities of the Department of Defense, for 
     military construction, and for defense activities of the 
     Department of Energy, to prescribe personnel strengths for 
     such fiscal year for the Armed Forces, and for other 
     purposes.

  A motion to reconsider was laid upon the table.
