Nunn, Mr. Inhofe, Mr. Kempthorne, Mr. Warner, Mrs. Hutchison, Mr. 
Santorum, Mr. Murkowski, Mr. Ford, and Mr. Bond) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by him to the bill, S. 1745, supra; as follows:

       At the end of title X, add the following:
          Subtitle G--Review of Armed Forces Force Structures

     SEC. 1081. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Armed Forces Force 
     Structures Review Act of 1996''.

     SEC. 1082. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the 
     United States has conducted two substantial assessments of 
     the force structure of the Armed Forces necessary to meet 
     United States defense requirements.
       (2) The assessment by the Bush Administration (known as the 
     ``Base Force'' assessment) and the assessment by the Clinton 
     Administration (known as the ``Bottom-Up Review'') were 
     intended to reassess the force structure of the Armed Forces 
     in light of the changing realities of the post-Cold War 
     world.
       (3) Both assessments served an important purpose in 
     focusing attention on the need to reevaluate the military 
     posture of the United States, but the pace of global change 
     necessitates a new, comprehensive assessment of the defense 
     strategy of the United States and the force structure of the 
     Armed Forces required to meet the threats to the United 
     States in the 21st century.
       (4) The Bottom-Up Review has been criticized on several 
     points, including--
       (A) the assumptions underlying the strategy of planning to 
     fight and win two nearly simultaneous major regional 
     conflicts;
       (B) the force levels recommended to carry out that 
     strategy; and
       (C) the funding proposed for such recommended force levels.
       (5) In response to the recommendations of the Commission on 
     Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces, the Secretary of 
     Defense endorsed the concept of conducting a quadrennial 
     review of the defense program at the beginning of each newly 
     elected Presidential administration, and the Secretary 
     intends to complete the first such review in 1997.
       (6) The review is to involve a comprehensive examination of 
     defense strategy, the force structure of the active, guard, 
     and reserve components, force modernization plans, 
     infrastructure, and other elements of the defense program and 
     policies in order to determine and express the defense 
     strategy of the United States and to establish a revised 
     defense program through the year 2005.
       (7) In order to ensure that the force structure of the 
     Armed Forces is adequate to meet the challenges to the 
     national security interests of the United States in the 21st 
     century, to assist the Secretary of Defense in conducting the 
     review referred to in paragraph (5), and to assess the 
     appropriate force structure of the Armed Forces through the 
     year 2010 and beyond (if practicable), it is important to 
     provide for the conduct of an independent, non-partisan 
     review of the force structure that is more comprehensive than 
     prior assessments of the force structure, extends beyond the 
     quadrennial defense review, and explores innovative and 
     forward-thinking in ways of meeting such challenges.

     SEC. 1083. QUADRENNIAL DEFENSE REVIEW.

       (a) Requirement in 1997.--The Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
     shall complete in 1997 a review of the defense program of the 
     United States intended to satisfy the requirements for a 
     Quadrennial Defense Review as identified in the 
     recommendations of the Commission on Roles and Missions of 
     the Armed Forces. The review shall include a comprehensive 
     examination of the defense strategy, force structure, force 
     modernization plans, infrastructure, and other elements of 
     the defense program and policies with a view toward 
     determining and expressing the defense strategy of the United 
     States and establishing a revised defense program through the 
     year 2005.
       (b) Involvement of National Defense Panel.--(1) The 
     Secretary shall apprise the National Defense Panel 
     established under section 1084, on an on-going basis, of the 
     work undertaken in the conduct of the review.
       (2) Not later than March 14, 1997, the Chairman of the 
     National Defense Panel shall submit to the Secretary the 
     panel's assessment of work undertaken in the conduct of the 
     review as of that date and shall include in the assessment 
     the recommendations of the panel for improvements to the 
     review, including recommendations for additional matters to 
     be covered in the review.

[[Page S6857]]

       (c) Assessments of Review.--Upon completion of the review, 
     the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chairman of 
     the National Defense Panel shall each prepare and submit to 
     the Secretary such chairman's assessment of the review in 
     time for the inclusion of the assessment in its entirety in 
     the report under subsection (d).
       (d) Report.--Not later than May 15, 1997, the Secretary

     scenarios developed in the examination of such threats.
       (3) The assumptions used in the review, including 
     assumptions relating to the cooperation of allies and

     and intensity and duration of conflict.
       (4) The effect on the force structure of preparations for 
     and participation in peace operations and military operations 
     other than war.
       (5) The effect on the force structure of the utilization by 
     the Armed Forces of technologies anticipated to be available 
     by the year 2005, including precision guided munitions, 
     stealth, night vision, digitization, and communications, and 
     the changes in doctrine and operational concepts that would 
     result from the utilization of such technologies.
       (6) The manpower and sustainment policies required under 
     the defense strategy to support engagement in conflicts 
     lasting more than 120 days.
       (7) The anticipated roles and missions of the reserve 
     components in the defense strategy and the strength, 
     capabilities, and equipment necessary to assure that the 
     reserve components can capably discharge such roles and 
     missions.
       (8) The appropriate ratio of combat forces to support 
     forces (commonly referred to as the ``tooth-to-tail'' ratio) 
     under the defense strategy, including, in particular, the 
     appropriate number and size of headquarter units and Defense 
     Agencies for that purpose.
       (9) The air-lift and sea-lift capabilities required to 
     support the defense strategy.
       (10) The forward presence, pre-positioning, and other 
     anticipatory deployments necessary under the defense strategy

     anticipated conflicts.
       (11) The extent to which resources must be shifted among 
     two or more theaters under the defense strategy in the event 
     of conflict in such theaters.
       (12) The advisability of revisions to the Unified Command 
     Plan as a result of the defense strategy.

     SEC. 1084. NATIONAL DEFENSE PANEL.

       (a) Establishment.--Not later than December 1, 1996, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall establish a non-partisan,

     shall have the duties set forth in this section.
       (b) Membership.--The Panel shall be composed of a chairman 
     and eight other individuals appointed by the Secretary, in 
     consultation with the Chairman and ranking member of the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Chairman

       (A) Scenarios developed in light of the threats examined 
     under paragraph (2).
       (B) Scenarios developed in light of a continuum of 
     conflicts ranging from a conflict of lesser magnitude than

     of greater magnitude than the conflict so described.
       (4) As part of the assessment, the Panel shall also--
       (A) develop recommendations regarding a variety of force 
     structures for the Armed Forces that permit the forward

                       DORGAN AMENDMENT NO. 4130

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. DORGAN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 1745, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, add the following new 
     section:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON MILITARY HONORS AT FUNERALS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) in an April 24, 1996 incident in Grand Forks, North 
     Dakota, a security specialist at Grand Forks Air Force Base 
     shot his former girlfriend to death and then was killed by 
     Grand Forks police when he turned his weapon on them;
       (2) on April 29, at the request of his family, the airman 
     was buried with military honors in the National Cemetery at 
     Biloxi, Mississippi, at a cost to the taxpayer of $5,468;
       (3) relevant law (10 USC 1482) appears to give the Service 
     Secretaries discretion to deny honors to a deceased 
     servicemember;
       (4) the relevant regulation (Department of Defense 
     Directive 1300.15, September 30, 1985) appears to give no 
     discretion to deny honors: the Directive states that ``For a 
     member who dies while on active duty . . . there shall be'' 
     honors such as pallbearers, a firing party, and a bugler; and
       (5) paying final tribute on behalf of a grateful nation to 
     those who have served it honorably is important to respect 
     the deceased, to show esteem for military service, to comfort 
     the grieving and to display military professionalism, but the 
     use of military honors at the funeral of someone undeserving 
     of them not only wastes taxpayer dollars but also lowers the 
     morale and impugns the high reputation of our nation's 
     military.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that:
       (1) the Secretary of Defense should promulgate a regulation 
     clarifying that a Service Secretary has the discretion to 
     deny military honors for the burial of a deceased service 
     member if the Secretary determines beyond a reasonable doubt 
     that the service member, had he or she lived, would have been 
     successfully convicted of murder in an American military or 
     civilian court; and
       (2) the Service Secretary concerned should make such a 
     determination only within 72 hours of the service member's 
     death, and should communicate that determination to the 
     service member's family as swiftly as possible.

                   BIOLOGICAL WARHEADS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The worldwide proliferation of ballistic missiles 
     threatens United States national interests overseas and 
     challenges United States defense planning.
       (2) In the absence of a national missile defense, the 
     United States remains vulnerable to long-range missile 
     threats.
       (3) Russia has a ground-based missile defense system 
     deployed around Moscow.
       (4) Several countries, including Iraq, Iran, and North 
     Korea may soon be technologically capable of threatening the 
     United States and Russia with ballistic missile attack.
       (5) In order to protect all citizens in the 50 States by 
     2003, it is necessary that all possible actions be taken to 
     enable America to deploy a missile defense system.
       (b) Report Required.--(1) Each year, the President shall 
     submit to Congress a report on the threats to the United 
     States of attack by ballistic missiles carrying nuclear, 
     biological, or chemical warheads.
       (2) The President shall submit the first report not later 
     than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (c) Content of Report.--The report shall contain the 
     following:
       (1) A list of all countries that have nuclear, chemical, or 
     biological weapons, the estimated numbers of such weapons 
     that each country has, and the destructive potential of the 
     weapons.
       (2) A list of all countries that have ballistic missiles, 
     the estimated number of such missiles that each country has, 
     and an assessment of the ability of those countries to 
     integrate their ballistic missile capabilities with their 
     nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons technologies.
       (3) A comparison of the United States civil defense 
     capabilities with the civil defense capabilities of each 
     country that has nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons and 
     ballistic missiles capable of delivering such weapons.
       (4) An estimate of the number of American fatalities and 
     injuries that would result, and an estimate of the value of 
     property that would be lost, from an attack on the United 
     States by ballistic missiles carrying nuclear, chemical, or 
     biological weapons if the United States were left undefended 
     by a national missile defense system covering all 50 States.
       (5) Assuming the use of any existing theater ballistic 
     missile defense system for defense of the United States, a 
     list of the States that would be left exposed to nuclear 
     ballistic missile attacks and the criteria used to determine 
     which States would be left exposed.
       (6) The means by which the United States is preparing to 
     defend itself against the potential threat of ballistic 
     missile attacks by North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and other 
     countries obtaining ballistic missiles capable of delivering 
     nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons in the near future.
       (7) For each country that is capable of attacking the 
     United States with ballistic missiles carrying a nuclear, 
     biological, or chemical weapon, a comparison of--
       (A) the vulnerability of the United States to such an

                BROWN (AND CAMPBELL) AMENDMENT NO. 4147

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. BROWN (for himself and Mr. Campbell) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the bill, S. 1745, supra; as 
follows:

       At the end of subtitle D of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 352. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING CLEAN-UP OF ROCKY 
                   MOUNTAIN ARSENAL, COLORADO.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) It is in the interest of the Department of Defense and 
     the state of Colorado to restore the Rocky Mountain Arsenal 
     to a standard which will allow the community's effective 
     reuse of the property.
       (2) In the 20 years since the installation restoration 
     program began, the Army and Shell Oil Company have spent 
     nearly $1 billion to study and control the environmental 
     damage at Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The majority of the cost 
     has been for studying the site and resolving disagreements.

[[Page S6863]]

       (3) Totaling approximately $400 million, the Arsenal's 
     study phase is the costliest in the history of DOD clean-up 
     programs.
       (4) The study phase costs at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal 
     represent at least 16 percent of the Army's total study costs 
     for approximately 1200 installations nationwide.
       (5) The timely completion of environmental restoration at 
     Rocky Mountain Arsenal will reduce extraneous costs 
     associated with long-term projects.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--
       It is the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of the 
     Army should complete environmental restoration at the Rocky 
     Mountain Arsenal in an expeditious manner and in conformity 
     with the time schedule and commitments put forth by the 
     Defense Department during negotiations with the state, 
     subject to authorize appropriations and the budget process.
