     in fiscal years 1996 and 1997 than in previous fiscal years, 
     but there still remains a need for the Department of Defense 
     to improve significantly its procedures for investigating 
     military aviation accidents.
       (2) This need was demonstrated by the aftermath of serious 
     military aviation mishaps, including the tragic crash of a C-
     130 aircraft off the coast of Northern California that killed 
     10 Reservists from Oregon on November 22, 1996.
       (3) The current Department investigation process for 
     military aviation accidents (the so-called ``two-track'' 
     investigation process), which involves privileged safety 
     investigations and public legal investigations, continues to 
     result in significant hardship for the families and relatives 
     of members of the Armed Forces involved in military aviation 
     accidents and a lack of overall public confidence in the 
     investigation process and may result in a significant waste 
     of resources due to overlapping activities in such 
     investigations.
       (4) Although the report required by section 1046 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 
     (Public Law 105-85; 111 Stat. 1888) stated that ``DoD found 
     no evidence that changing existing investigation processes to 
     more closely resemble those of the NTSB would help DoD to 
     find more answers more quickly, or accurately'', the 
     Department can still improve its aviation safety by fully 
     examining all options for improving or replacing its current 
     aviation accident investigation processes.
       (5) The inter-service working group formed as a result of 
     that report has contributed to progress in military aviation 
     accident investigations by identifying ways to improve family 
     assistance, as has the formal policy direction coordinated by 
     the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
       (6) Such progress includes the issuance of Air Force 
     Instruction 90-701 entitled ``Assistance to Families of 
     Persons Involved in Air Force Aviation Mishaps'', that 
     attempts to meet the need for a more timely flow of relevant 
     information to families, a family liaison officer, and the 
     establishment of the Air Force Office of Family Assistance. 
     However, formal policy directions and Air Force instructions 
     have not adequately addressed the failure to provide primary 
     next of kin of members of the Armed Forces involved in 
     military aviation accidents with interim reports regarding 
     the course of investigations into such accidents, which 
     failure causes much hardship for such kin and results in a 
     loss of credibility regarding Air Force investigations into 
     such accidents.
       (7) The report referred to in paragraph (4) concluded that 
     the Department would ``benefit from the disappearance of the 
     misperception that the privileged portion of the safety 
     investigation exists to hide unfavorable information''.
       (8) That report further specified that ``[e]ach Military 
     Department has procedures in place to provide redacted copies 
     of the final [privileged] safety report to the families. 
     However, families must formally request a copy of the final 
     safety investigation report''.
       (9) Current efforts to improve family notification would be 
     enhanced by the issuance by the Secretary of Defense of 
     uniform regulations to improve the timeliness and reliability 
     of information provided to the primary next of kin of persons 
     involved in military aviation accidents during and following 
     both the legal investigation and safety investigation phases 
     of such investigations.
       (b) Evaluation of Department of Defense Aviation Accident 
     Investigation Procedures.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     establish a task force to--
       (A) review the procedures employed by the Department of 
     Defense to conduct military aviation accident investigations; 
     and
       (B) identify mechanisms for improving such investigations 
     and the military aviation accident investigation process.
       (2) The Secretary shall appoint to the task force the 
     following:
       (A) An appropriate number of members of the Armed Forces, 
     including both members of the regular components and the 
     reserve components, who have experience relating to military 
     aviation or investigations into military aviation accidents.
       (B) An appropriate number of former members of the Armed 
     Forces who have such experience.
       (C) With the concurrence of the member concerned, a member 
     of the National Transportation Safety Board.
       (3)(A) The task force shall submit to Congress an interim 
     report and a final report on its activities under this 
     subsection. The interim report shall be submitted on December 
     1, 1998, and the final report shall be submitted on March 31, 
     1999.
       (B) Each report under subparagraph (A) shall include the 
     following:
       (i) An assessment of the advisability of conducting all 
     military aviation accident investigations through an entity 
     that is independent of the military departments.
       (ii) An assessment of the effectiveness of the current 
     military aviation accident investigation process in 
     identifying the cause of military aviation accidents and 
     correcting problems so identified in a timely manner.
       (iii) An assessment whether or not the procedures for 
     sharing the results of military aviation accident 
     investigations among the military departments should be 
     improved.
       (iv) An assessment of the advisability of a centralized 
     training facility and course of instruction for military 
     aviation accident investigators.
       (v) An assessment of the advisability of continuing to 
     ensure that military aviation safety investigation reports 
     are afforded protection from public release and use in 
     subsequent civil and criminal proceedings comparable to the 
     protection currently provided National Transportation Safety 
     Board investigation reports and accident investigation 
     reports.
       (vi) An assessment of any costs or cost avoidances that 
     would result from the elimination of any overlap in military 
     aviation accident investigation activities conducted under 
     the current so-called ``two-track'' investigation process.
       (vii) Any improvements or modifications in the current 
     military aviation accident investigation process that the 
     task force considers appropriate to reduce the potential for 
     aviation accidents and increase public confidence in the 
     process.
       (c) Uniform Regulations for Release of Interim Safety 
     Investigation Reports.--(1)(A) Not later than May 1, 1999, 
     the Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations

[[Page S6773]]

     that provide for the release to the family members of persons 
     involved in military aviation accidents, and to members of 
     the public, of reports referred to in paragraph (2).
       (B) The regulations shall apply uniformly to each military 
     department.
       (2) A report under paragraph (1) is a report on the 
     findings of any ongoing privileged safety investigation into 
     an accident referred to in that paragraph. Such report shall 
     be in a redacted form or other form appropriate to preserve 
     witness confidentiality and to minimize the effects of the 
     release of information in such report on national security.
       (3) Reports under paragraph (1) shall be made available--
       (A) in the case of family members, at least once every 14 
     days during the course of the investigation concerned; and
       (B) in the case of members of the public, on request.

              ROCKEFELLER (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2816

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. ROCKEFELLER (for himself, Mr. Durbin, and Mr. Harkin) submitted 
an amendment intended to be proposed by them to the bill, S. 2057, 
supra; as follows:

       On page 41, below line 23, add the following:

     SEC. 219. DOD/VA COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM.

       (a) Availability of Funds.--Of the amount authorized to be 
     appropriated by section 201(4), $20,000,000 shall be 
     available for the Dod/VA Cooperative Research Program.
       (b) Executive Agent.--The Secretary of Defense shall be the 
     executive agent for the utilization of the funds made 
     available by subsection (a).

 Mr. ROCKEFELLER. Mr. President, as Ranking Member of the 
Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, I have an especially strong 
interest in the history of illnesses and health concerns that follow 
military deployments. We have all observed the effects of post-conflict 
illnesses among our Gulf War veterans who returned with poorly 
understood, undiagnosed illnesses, and our Vietnam veterans with health 
problems related to exposure to Agent Orange. This legacy is not just a 
problem of our most recent conflicts; our Atomic-era veterans are still 
fighting for recognition of health conditions related to radiation 
exposures they experienced in service to their country 50 years ago.
  If there is any single lesson to be learned from this history, it is 
that the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs 
have not always been aggressive enough in pursuing the immediate health 
consequences of military conflicts. Too many times our veterans have 
had to wait years before post-conflict illnesses are recognized as real 
problems that require firm commitments of research and treatment 
programs. These delays have come at a cost to the veterans who have had 
to fight for this recognition, and they have come at a cost to the 
government's credibility on this important issue.
  I believe it is time to consider establishing an independent entity 
with the capacity to evaluate government efforts to monitor the health 
of servicemembers following military conflicts, and to evaluate whether 
servicemembers are being effectively treated for illnesses that occur 
following such deployments. There have been suggestions for the need 
for such an entity within DoD and VA, but I believe that important 
health expertise outside these agencies is required as well. Indeed, it 
may be that the best approach is one that pulls together expertise from 
VA, DoD, and health care professionals and researchers from centers of 
medical excellence in fields such as toxicology, occupational medicine, 
and other disciplines.
  Therefore, I would like to submit an amendment to the Department of 
Defense Authorization to require the Secretary to enter into an 
agreement with the National Academy of Sciences to assess the 
feasibility of establishing, as an independent entity, a National 
Center for the Study of Military Health.
  The proposed Center for the Study of Military Health would evaluate 
and monitor interagency coordination on issues relating to post-
deployment health concerns of members of the Armed Forces, including 
outreach and risk communication, recordkeeping, research, utilization 
of new technologies, international cooperation and research, health 
surveillance, and other health related activities.
  In addition, this center would evaluate the health care provided to 
members of the Armed Services both before and after their deployment on 
military operations. The proposed center would monitor and direct 
government efforts to evaluate the health of servicemembers upon their 
return from military deployments, for purposes of ensuring the rapid 
identification of any trends in diseases or injuries that result from 
such operations. Such an independent health center could also serve an 
important role in providing training of health care professionals in 
DoD and VA in the evaluation and treatment of post-conflict diseases 
and health conditions, including nonspecific and unexplained illnesses.
  While some have argued that it is time to take some of these 
responsibilities away from existing agencies, I would suggest that this 
is a matter for careful study and thoughtful deliberation. Therefore, 
this amendment would require the National Academy of Sciences to assess 
the feasibility of such an independent health entity. In their report 
to the Secretary of Defense, the Academy should provide a 
recommendation of the feasibility of such an entity and justification 
for such a recommendation. If such a center is recommended by the 
Academy, their report should also provide recommendations regarding the 
organizational placement of the entity; the health and science 
expertise that would be necessary; the scope and nature of the 
activities and responsibilities of the entity; and mechanisms for 
ensuring that the recommendations of the entity are carried out by DoD 
and VA.
  Mr. President, as Ranking Member of the Committee on Veterans' 
Affairs, there have been too many times when I have heard agency 
officials testify that poorly understood, unexplained illnesses are a 
common, inevitable occurrence of every military conflict. With the 
tremendous advances achieved elsewhere in medical and military 
technologies, I find the acceptance of these illnesses as an 
inevitability to be unacceptable. I hope that this amendment will offer 
an initial step to better prevention and treatment of these post-
conflict illnesss.

     the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding improvements in 
     the provision of health care referred to in subparagraph (B), 
     including improvements in the monitoring and treatment of

                           Amendment No. 2825

       On page 268, between lines 8 and 9, insert the following:

     SEC. 1064. DEBARMENT OF COMPANIES TRANSFERRING SENSITIVE 
                   TECHNOLOGY TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA 
                   FROM CONTRACTING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF 
                   DEFENSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The People's Republic of China is an authoritarian 
     state that has acted and continues to act in a manner 
     threatening to her neighbors and the United States.
       (2) A nuclear-capable power, China is believed to have 
     strategic missiles targeted at the United States.
       (3) China launched ballistic missiles during the Spring of 
     1996 over portions of Taiwan in a show of force calculated to 
     influence the presidential elections in Taiwan
       (4) Responding to United States affirmation of support for 
     Taiwan, a Chinese official in 1996 reportedly threatened a 
     United States city with destruction should the United States 
     act to defend Taiwan from an attack.
       (5) Despite denials of hegemonic intent and criticism of 
     other nations for allegedly pursuing hegemony in the region, 
     China has attacked her neighbors, India and Vietnam, and 
     threatened others, notably the Philippines, over disputed 
     territory.
       (6) Having brutally subjugated a long-independent nation, 
     Tibet, in 1950, China continues to pursue policies that are 
     clearly inimical to the Tibetan people. China systematically 
     violates the most basic human rights though the denial of 
     religious freedom, the jailing and persecution of the 
     political opposition, and the immoral policy of forced 
     abortion to control population growth.
       (7) China is a proliferator of ballistic missile technology 
     and nuclear technology.
       (8) China supported the development by Pakistan of 
     ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.
       (9) China supports missile development programs in Libya 
     and Iran.
       (10) China provided cruise missiles to Iran that currently 
     threaten commercial shipping and United States naval vessels 
     in the Persian Gulf.
       (11) China appears to have a policy aimed at coercing 
     United States companies as well as companies in over 
     countries to transfer technology in order to obtain market 
     access. According to a 1997 press report, ``no country makes 
     such demands across as wide a variety of industries as China 
     does.''. This has led one Administration official to 
     characterize as blackmail the insistence of China that ``to 
     sell here, you have to locate here, and give us 
     technology.''.
       (12) A number of questionable transfers of sensitive United 
     States technology to China have occurred.
       (13) In 1993, an American-backed joint venture transferred 
     sensitive communications technology to a Chinese company 
     headed by an official of the People's Liberation Army, 
     reportedly over the objection of various officials of the 
     Department of Defense and the National Security Agency.
       (14) Advanced dual-use machine tools were sold to China in 
     1994 over the objections of a senior analyst of the Defense 
     Technology Security Agency. These machine tools subsequently 
     were found at a Chinese missile plant in violation of the 
     export license.
       (15) Two United States defense contractors appear to have 
     transferred sensitive technical information to China in 1996 
     that may have enabled China to dramatically increase the 
     reliability and capabilities of its space launch vehicles and 
     strategic missiles.
       (b) Debarment.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall debar 
     from contracting with the Department of Defense, for a period 
     of time provided for under paragraph (2), any company that 
     has transferred sensitive technology to the People's Republic 
     of China without the prior authorization of the United States 
     Government.
       (2) Debarment under paragraph (1) shall be for a period 
     determined appropriate by the Secretary, but not less than 
     five years.
       (3) Debarment shall commence under paragraph (1) as of the 
     first day of the fiscal year commencing after the later of 
     the date of the determination by the Secretary that the 
     transfer in question occurred without prior authorization of 
     the United States Government.
       (c) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) The term ``debar'' has the meaning given that term in 
     section 2393(c) of title 10, United States Code.
       (2) The term ``sensitive technology'' means any military or 
     dual-use technologies or hardware covered by the Export 
     Administration Act of 1979, and the regulations implementing 
     that Act.

intended to be proposed by them to the bill, S. 2057, supra; as 
follows:

       On page 268, between lines 8 and 9, insert the following:

     SEC. 1064. INCREASED MISSILE THREAT IN ASIA-PACIFIC REGION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) United States forces and allies in the Asia-Pacific 
     region face a growing missile threat from China and North 
     Korea.
       (2) China has embarked on a program to modernize its 
     theater and strategic missile programs and has shown a 
     willingness to use ballistic missiles to intimidate its 
     neighbors. During Taiwan's national legislative elections in 
     1995, China fired six M-9 ballistic missiles to an area about 
     100 miles north of Taiwan. Less than a year later, on the eve 
     of Taiwan's first democratic presidential election, China 
     again launched M-9 missiles to areas within 30 miles north 
     and south of Taiwan, thereby establishing a virtual blockade 
     of the two primary ports of Taiwan.
       (3) North Korea's missile program is becoming more 
     advanced. According to a recent Department of Defense report, 
     North Korea has deployed several hundred Scud missiles that 
     are capable of reaching targets in South Korea. North Korea 
     has started to deploy the No Dong missile, which will have 
     sufficient range to target nearly all of Japan, and is 
     continuing to develop a longer-range ballistic missile that 
     will be capable of reaching Alaska and Hawaii.
       (4) Theater missile defenses are vitally needed to protect 
     American forces and interests in the Asia-Pacific region.
       (5) The sale of United States ballistic missile defense 
     items to Taiwan is consistent with the provisions of the 
     Taiwan Relations Act, which states that ``the United States 
     will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and 
     defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to 
     enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense 
     capability.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress Regarding Restrictions on Deployment 
     of United States Theater Missile Defenses.--It is the sense 
     of Congress that the President should not adopt any policies 
     or negotiate any agreements that restrict the deployment of 
     theater missile defense systems operated by United States 
     forces or allies.
       (c) Study and Report.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     carry out a study of the architecture requirements for the 
     establishment and operation of a theater ballistic missile 
     defense system in the Asia-Pacific region that would have the 
     capability to protect Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan from 
     ballistic missile attack. The study shall include a 
     description of appropriate measures by which the United 
     States would cooperate with Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan 
     and provide them with an advanced local-area ballistic 
     missile defense system.
       (2) Not later than January 1, 1999, the Secretary shall 
     submit to the Committee on National Security of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     Senate a report containing--
       (A) the results of the study conducted under paragraph (1);
       (B) the factors used to obtain such results; and
       (C) a description of any existing United States missile 
     defense system that could be transferred to Taiwan and Japan 
     in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act in order to allow 
     Taiwan and Japan to provide for their self-defense against 
     limited ballistic missile attacks.
       (3) The report shall be submitted in both classified and 
     unclassified form.
       (d) Sense of Congress Regarding Transfer of Ballistic 
     Missile Defense Systems.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President, if requested by the Government of Taiwan, 
     South Korea, or Japan and in accordance with the results of 
     the study conducted under subsection (c), should sell, at 
     full market value, to the requesting nation appropriate 
     defense articles or defense services under the foreign 
     military sales program under chapter 2 of the Arms Export 
     Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2761 et seq.) for the purpose of 
     establishing and operating a local-area ballistic missile 
     defense system to protect Taiwan, including the Penghu 
     Islands, Kinmen, and Matsu, South Korea, or Japan, as the 
     case may be, against limited ballistic missile attack.
       (e) Statement of Policy Relating to United States Theater 
     Missile Defenses for the Asia-Pacific Region.--Congress 
     declares that it is in the national interest of the United 
     States that Taiwan be included in any effort at ballistic 
     missile defense cooperation, networking, or interoperability 
     with friendly and allied nations in the Asia-Pacific region.
       (f) Sense of Congress Urging the President To Declare to 
     the People's Republic of China the Commitment of the American 
     People to Security and Democracy in Taiwan.--It is the sense 
     of Congress that the President should make clear to the 
     leadership of the People's Republic of China the firm 
     commitment of the American people to security and democracy 
     for the people of Taiwan and that the United States fully 
     expects that security issues on both sides of the Taiwan 
     Strait will be resolved by peaceful means.
       (g) Sense of Congress Regarding Taiwan.--It is the sense of 
     Congress that--
       (1) the transfer of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of 
     China does not alter the current and future status of Taiwan;
       (2) the future of Taiwan should be determined by peaceful 
     means through a democratic process; and
       (3) the United States, in accordance with the Taiwan 
     Relations Act and the constitutional processes of the United 
     States, should assist in the defense of Taiwan in case of 
     threats or military attack by the People's Republic of China 
     against Taiwan.

                      THURMOND AMENDMENT NO. 2844

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. THURMOND submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

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

     SEC. 1064. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CONTINUED 
                   PARTICIPATION OF UNITED STATES FORCES IN 
                   OPERATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The contributions of the people of the United States 
     and other nations have, in large measure, resulted in the 
     suspension of fighting and alleviated the suffering of the 
     people of Bosnia and Herzegovina since December 1995.
       (2) the people of the United States have expended 
     approximately $9,500,000,000 in tax dollars between 1992 and 
     mid-1998 just in support of the United States military 
     operations in Bosnia to achieve those results.
       (3) Efforts to restore the economy and political structure 
     in Bosnia and Herzegovina have achieved some success in 
     accordance with the Dayton Agreement.
       (4) In February 1998, the President certified to Congress 
     that the continued presence of United States forces in Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina after June 30, 1998, was necessary in order 
     to meet national security interests of the United States.
       (5) There is, however, no accurate estimate of the time 
     needed to accomplish the civilian implementation tasks 
     outlined in the Dayton Agreement.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) United States ground combat forces should not remain in 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina indefinitely in view of the world-wide 
     commitments of the Armed Forces of the United States;
       (2) the President should work with NATO allies and the 
     other nations whose military forces are participating in the 
     NATO-led Stabilization Force to remove United States ground 
     combat forces from Bosnia and Herzegovina within a reasonable 
     period of time, consistent with the safety of those forces 
     and the accomplishment of the Stabilization Force's military 
     tasks;
       (3) a NATO-led force without the participation of United 
     States ground combat forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina might 
     be suitable for a European follow-on force for Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina;
       (4) United States leaders potentially could decide to 
     provide appropriate support to a European or NATO-led follow-
     on force for Bosnia and Herzegovina, including command and 
     control, intelligence, logistics, and, if necessary, a ready 
     reserve force in the region;
       (5) the President should inform the European NATO allies of 
     this expression of the sense of Congress and should strongly 
     urge them to undertake preparations for establishing a 
     European or a NATO-led force as a follow-on force to the 
     NATO-led Stabilization Force if needed to maintain peace and 
     stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and
       (6) the President should consult closely with the 
     congressional leadership and the congressional defense 
     committees with respect to the progress being made toward 
     achieving a sustainable peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and 
     the progress being made toward a reduction and ultimate 
     withdrawal of United States ground combat forces from Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina.
       (c) Dayton Agreement Defined.--In this section, the term 
     ``Dayton Agreement'' means the General Framework Agreement 
     for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, together with annexes 
     relating thereto, done at Dayton, November 10 through 16, 
     1995.

     be suitable for a follow-on force for Bosnia and Herzegovina 
     if the European Security and Defense Identity is not 
     sufficiently developed or is otherwise considered 
     inappropriate for such a mission;
       (4) United States leaders potentially could decide to 
     provide appropriate support to a Western European Union-led 
     or NATO-led follow-on force for Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
     including command and control, intelligence, logistics, and, 
     if necessary, a ready reserve force in the region;

                      THURMOND AMENDMENT NO. 2846

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. THURMOND submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

       On page 347, below line 23, add the following:

     SEC. 2833. REPORT ON LEASING AND OTHER ALTERNATIVE USES OF 
                   NON-EXCESS MILITARY PROPERTY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Secretary of Defense, with the support of the 
     chiefs of staff of the Armed Forces, is calling for the 
     closure of additional military installations in the United 
     States as a means of eliminating excess capacity in such 
     installations.
       (2) The Secretary has stated that the closure of additional 
     military installations in the United States is essential if 
     the United States is to have the funds required to buy 
     critically needed new weapons and equipment.
       (3) The prospect of redevelopment of military installations 
     closed under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 
     1990 has provoked significant private sector interest in 
     military installations as potential locations for commercial 
     development.

[[Page S6785]]

       (4) Excess capacity in Department of Defense installations 
     is a valuable asset, and the utilization of such capacity 
     presents a potential economic benefit for the Department and 
     the Nation.
       (5) The experiences of the Department have demonstrated 
     that the military departments and private businesses can 
     carry out activities at the same military installation 
     simultaneously.
       (6) Section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, 
     authorizes the Secretaries of the military departments to 
     lease, upon terms that promote the national defense or are in 
     the public interest, real property that is--
       (A) under the control of such departments;
       (B) not for the time needed for public use; and
       (C) not excess to the requirements of the United States.
       (b) Report.--Not later than February 1, 1999, the Secretary 
     shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the Committee on National Security of the House of 
     Representatives a report setting forth the following:
       (1) The number and purpose of the leases entered into under 
     section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, during the 
     five-year period ending on the date of enactment of this Act.
       (2) The types and amounts of payments received under the 
     leases specified in paragraph (1).
       (3) The costs, if any, foregone as a result of the leases 
     specified in paragraph (1).
       (4) A discussion of the positive and negative aspects of 
     leasing real property and surplus capacity at military 
     installations to the private sector, including the potential 
     impact on force protection.
       (5) A description of the current efforts of the Department 
     of Defense to identify for the private sector any surplus 
     capacity at military installations that could be leased or 
     otherwise used by the private sector.
       (6) A proposal for any legislation that the Secretary 
     considers appropriate to enhance the ability of the 
     Department to utilize surplus capacity in military 
     installations in order to improve military readiness, achieve 
     cost savings with respect to such installations, or decrease 
     the cost of operating such installations.
       (7) An estimate of the amount of income that could accrue 
     to the Department as a result of the enhanced authority 
     proposed under paragraph (6) during the five-year period 
     beginning on the effective date of such enhanced authority.
       (8) A discussion of the extent to which any such income 
     should be reserved for the use of the installations 
     exercising such authority and of the extent to which 
     installations are likely to enter into such leases if they 
     cannot retain such income.

     of the Defense Automated Printing Service. The report shall

     be performed within the Department of Defense, together with 
     a detailed justification for the determination for each such 
     function.
       (2) The functions that the Secretary determines are 
     appropriate for transfer to the General Services

     Administration or the Government Printing Office the printing

       (4) Any recommended legislation and any administrative 
     action that is necessary for transferring the functions in 
     accordance with the plan.
       (5) A discussion of the costs or savings associated with 
     the transfers provided for in the plan.
       (b) Extension of Requirement for Competitive Procurement of

                        SNOWE AMENDMENT NO. 2872

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Ms. SNOWE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to 
the bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert:

     SEC.   . FEDERAL TASK FORCE ON REGIONAL THREATS TO 
                   INTERNATIONAL SECURITY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On May 11, 1998 and May 13, 1998, the Government of 
     India broke a 24-year voluntary moratorium by conducting five 
     underground nuclear tests.
       (2) The Secretary of Defense predicted thereafter that 
     these tests by the Government of India could induce other 
     nations to obtain nuclear weapons technologies.
       (3) On May 28, 1998, the Government of Pakistan announced 
     that for the first time, it had conducted five underground 
     nuclear tests and acknowledged ongoing efforts to place 
     nuclear warheads on missiles capable of striking any target 
     in India.
       (4) The Director of Central Intelligence has accepted the 
     June 2, 1998 findings of an independent investigation 
     revealing that the Central Intelligence Agency lacked 
     adequate analytical capabilities to detect the explosions in 
     India despite satellite-generated evidence to the contrary 
     and repeated declarations by Indian government 
     representatives of an intent to improve the country's nuclear 
     arsenal.
       (5) 1997 assessments by the United States Air Force and the 
     Central Intelligence Agency conflicted on the issue of 
     whether the May 10, 1996 transmission to the Government of 
     China of a private industry report exploring the potential 
     causes of an earlier rocket crash contained information that 
     may advance Chinese nuclear launch capabilities.
       (6) The president did not receive or review the Air Force 
     assessment prior to his February 18, 1998 approval of a 
     license for the export of a commercial satellite to China.
       (7) A March 11, 1998 report by the National Air 
     Intelligence Center concluded that Chinese strategic missiles 
     with nuclear warheads pose a threat to the United States.
       (b) Creation of the Federal Task Force on Regional Threats 
     to International Security.
       The president shall create from among all appropriate 
     federal agencies, including the Departments of State, 
     Defense, and Commerce, as well as military and foreign 
     intelligence organizations, a standing Task Force on Regional 
     Threats to International Security. The Task Force, with the 
     approval of the president, shall develop and execute plans, 
     in cooperation with foreign allied governments when 
     appropriate, for;
       (1) the active mediation of the United States to foster 
     negotiations between or among foreign governments engaged in 
     civil, ethnic, or geographic conflicts that increase the risk 
     of the acquisition, testing, or the deployment of Weapons of 
     Mass Destruction.
       (2) trade, economic reform, and investment programs to 
     promote the market-based development of nations to reduce 
     incentives for the pursuit or use of such weapons.
       (3) a revised and integrated intelligence network that 
     gathers, analyzes, and transmit all vital data to the 
     president in advance of policy decisions related to such 
     weapons.
       (c) Reporting Requirements.--The Task Force shall issue bi-
     annual reports to Congress on the progress made in executing 
     its responsibilities pursuant to Subsections (1), (2), and 
     (3) of Section (b).
       (d) Effective Date of the Task Force.--The president must 
     establish the Task Force no later than 60 days after the 
     effective date of this act.
       (e) Renewal of Task Force Authority.--Unless extended by an 
     act of Congress or an executive order of the president, the 
     statutory authority of the Task Force shall expire on October 
     1, 2000.

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)

intended to be proposed by them to the bill, S. 2057, supra; as 
follows:

                           Amendment No. 2881

       At the end of division A of the bill, insert the following 
     new title:

  TITLE XIII--REDUCTION IN UNITED STATES GROUND FORCES IN BOSNIA AND 
                              HERZEGOVINA.

     SEC. 1301. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The United States Armed Forces in Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina have accomplished the military mission assigned 
     to them as a component of the Implementation Force.
       (2) The continuing and open-ended commitment of United 
     States ground forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina is subject to 
     the oversight authority of Congress.
       (3) Congress may limit the use of appropriated funds to 
     create the conditions for an orderly and honorable drawdown 
     of the United States Armed Forces from Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina.
       (4) On November 27, 1995, the President affirmed that 
     United States participation in the multinational military 
     Implementation Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina would 
     terminate in about one year.
       (5) The President declared the expiration date of the 
     mandate for the Implementation Force to be December 20, 1996.
       (6) The Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff expressed confidence that the Implementation 
     Force would complete its mission after approximately one 
     year.
       (7) The Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff expressed the critical importance of 
     establishing a firm deadline for termination of the mission 
     of the United States forces, without which there would be a 
     potential for expansion of the mission.
       (8) On October 3, 1996, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
     Staff announced the intention of the President to delay the 
     removal of United States forces from Bosnia and Herzegovina 
     until March 1997.
       (9) In November 1996, the President announced his intention 
     to further extend the deployment of United States forces in 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina until June 1998.
       (10) The President did not request authorization by the 
     Congress of a policy that would result in the further 
     deployment of the United States forces in Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina until June 1998.
       (11) Notwithstanding the lapse of two previously 
     established deadlines, the reaffirmation of those deadlines 
     by senior national security officials, and the endorsement by 
     those same national security officials of the importance of 
     having a deadline as a hedge against an expanded mission, the 
     President announced on December 17, 1997, that establishing a 
     deadline had been a mistake and that United States ground 
     combat forces were committed to the NATO-led mission in 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina for the indefinite future.
       (12) NATO military forces have increased their 
     participation in law enforcement, particularly police, 
     activities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (13) Successive United States commanders of NATO forces 
     have stated on several occasions that, in accordance with the 
     Dayton Peace Agreement, the principal responsibility for such 
     law enforcement and police activities lies with the Bosnian 
     parties themselves.

     fought wars against each other, two of these wars directly 
     involving Jammu and Kashmir;
       (5) it is in the interest of United States security and 
     world peace for Pakistan and India to arrive at a peaceful 
     and just settlement of the dispute through talks between the 
     two nations, which takes into account the wishes of the 
     affected population;
       (6) the human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir

     both India and Pakistan, and bears a responsibility as a 
     world leader to help facilitate a peaceful resolution to the 
     Jammu and Kashmir dispute; and
       (9) the United States and the United Nations can both play 
     a critical role in helping to resolve the dispute over Jammu 
     and Kashmir and in fostering better relations between 
     Pakistan and India.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--

     promotion of peace and stability in South Asia, as well as 
     normalization of relations between India and Pakistan;

     Nations from India and Pakistan for the purpose of 
     discussions about the security situation in South Asia, 
     including regional stability, nuclear disarmament and arms 
     control, and trade;
       (4) the United States Permanent Representative to the 
     United Nations should raise the issue of the Jammu and 
     Kashmir dispute within the Security Council and promote the 
     establishment of a United Nations-sponsored mediator for the 
     conflict; and
       (5) the President should request India to allow United 
     Nations human rights officials, including the Special 
     Rapporteur on Torture, to visit the Jammu and Kashmir region 
     and to have unrestricted access to meeting with people in 
     that region, including those in detention.

     SEC. 2904. AGENCY AGREEMENT

       The Bureau of Land Management and the Air Force have agreed 
     upon additional mitigation measures associated with this land 
     withdrawal as specified in the ``ENHANCED TRAINING IN IDAHO 
     Memorandum of Understanding Between The Bureau of Land 
     Management and The United States Air Force'' that is dated 
     June ----, 1998. This agreement specifies that these 
     mitigation measures will be adopted as part of the Air 
     Force's Record of Decision for Enhanced Training in Idaho. 
     Congress endorses this collaborative effort between the 
     agencies and directs that the agreement be implemented; 
     provided, however, that the parties may, in accordance with 
     the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, 
     mutually agree to modify the mitigation measures specified in 
     the agreement in light of experience gained through the 
     actions called for in the agreement or as a result of changed 
     military circumstances; provided further, that neither the 
     agreement, any modification thereof, nor this section creates 
     any right, benefit, or trust responsibility, substantive or 
     procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against 
     the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.

     SEC. 2905. RIGHT-OF-WAY GRANTS.

       In addition to the withdrawal under section 2902 and in 
     accordance with all applicable laws, the Secretary of the 
     Interior shall process and grant the Secretary of the Air 
     Force rights-of-way using the Department of the Interior 
     regulations and policies in effect at the time of filing 
     applications for the one-quarter acre electronic warfare 
     threat emitter sites, roads, powerlines, and other ancillary 
     facilities as described and analyzed in the Enhanced Training 
     in Idaho Final Environmental Impact Statement, dated January 
     1998.

     SEC. 2906. INDIAN SACRED SITES.

       (a) Management.--In the management of the Federal lands 
     withdrawn and reserved by this title, the Air Force shall, to 
     the extent practicable and not clearly inconsistent with 
     essential agency functions, (1) accommodate access to and 
     ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian religious 
     practitioners and (2) avoid adversely affecting the integrity 
     of such sacred sites. The Air Force shall maintain the 
     confidentiality of such sites where appropriate. The term 
     ``sacred site'' shall mean any specific, discrete, narrowly 
     delineated location on Federal land that is identified by an 
     Indian tribe, or Indian individual determined to be an 
     appropriately authoritative representative of an Indian 
     religion, as sacred by virtue of its established religious 
     significance to, or ceremonial use by, an Indian religion; 
     provided that the tribe or appropriately authoritative 
     representative of an Indian religion has informed the Air 
     Force of the existence of such a site. The term ``Indian 
     tribe'' means an Indian or Alaska Native tribe, band, nation, 
     pueblo, village, or community that the Secretary of the 
     Interior acknowledges to exist as an Indian tribe pursuant to 
     Public Law No. 103-454, 108 Stat. 4791, and ``Indian'' refers 
     to a member of such an Indian tribe.
       (b) Consultation.--Air Force officials at Mountain Home Air 
     Force Base shall regularly consult with the Tribal Chairman 
     of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation 
     to assure that tribal government rights and concerns are 
     fully considered during the development of the Juniper Butte 
     Range.

     SEC. 2907. ACTIONS CONCERNING RANCHING OPERATIONS IN 
                   WITHDRAWN AREA.

       The Secretary of the Air Force is authorized and directed 
     to, upon such terms and conditions as the Secretary of the 
     Air Force considers just and in the national interest, 
     conclude and implement agreements with the grazing permittees 
     to provide appropriate consideration, including future 
     grazing arrangements. Upon the conclusion of these 
     agreements, the Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals 
     Management, shall grant rights-of-way and approvals and 
     take such actions as are necessary to implement promptly 
     this title and the agreements with the grazing permittees. 
     The Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of the 
     Interior shall allow the grazing permittees for lands 
     withdrawn and reserved by this title to continue their 
     activities on the lands in accordance with the permits and 
     their applicable regulations until the Secretary of the 
     Air Force has fully implemented the agreement with the 
     grazing permittees under this section. Upon the 
     implementation of these agreements, the Bureau of Land 
     Management is authorized and directed, subject to the 
     limitations included in this section, to terminate grazing 
     on the lands withdrawn.

     SEC. 2908. MANAGEMENT OF WITHDRAWN AND RESERVED LANDS.

     for purposes relating to the uses set forth in section 
     2902(b).
       (b) Management According To Plan.--The lands withdrawn and

       (c) Authority To Close Land.--If the Secretary of the Air 
     Force determines that military operations, public safety, or 
     the interests of national security require the closure to 
     public use of any road, trail or other portion of the lands 
     withdrawn by this title that are commonly in public use, the 
     Secretary of the Air Force may take such action; Provided, 
     that such closures shall be limited to the minimum areas and 
     periods required for the purposes specified in this 
     subsection. During closures, the Secretary of the Air Force 
     shall keep appropriate warning notices posted and take 
     appropriate steps to notify the public about the closure.

       (3)(A) The memorandum of understanding under section 2910 
     shall provide for the Bureau of Land Management to assist the 
     Secretary of the Air Force in the suppression of the fires 
     described in paragraph (1).
       (B) The memorandum of understanding shall provide that the 
     Secretary of the Air Force reimburse the Bureau of Land 
     Management for any costs incurred by the Bureau of Land 
     Management under this paragraph.
       (f) Use of Mineral Materials.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of this title or the Act of July 31, 1947 (commonly 
     known as the ``Materials Act of 1947'') (30 U.S.C. 601 et 
     seq.), the Secretary of the Air Force may use, from the 
     lands withdrawn and reserved by this title, sand, gravel,

     excess infrastructure capacity as the Panel considers 
     appropriate;

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. BROWNBACK submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him 
to the bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

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

     SEC. ____. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING THE AUGUST 1995 
                   ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AGAINST PRESIDENT 
                   SHEVARDNADZE OF GEORGIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On Tuesday, August 29, 1995, President Eduard 
     Shevardnadze of Georgia narrowly survived a car bomb attack 
     as he departed his offices in the Georgian Parliament 
     building to attend the signing ceremony for the new 
     constitution of Georgia.
       (2) The former Chief of the Georgian National Security 
     Service, Lieutenant General Igor Giorgadze, after being 
     implicated in organizing the August 29, 1995, assassination 
     attempt on President Shevardnadze, fled Georgia from the 
     Russian-controlled Varziani airbase on a Russian military 
     aircraft.
       (3) Lieutenant General Giorgadze has been seen openly in 
     Moscow and is believed to have been given residence at a 
     Russian government facility despite the fact that Interpol is 
     conducting a search for Lieutenant General Giorgadze for his 
     role in the assassination attempt against President 
     Shervardnadze.
       (4) The Russian Interior Ministry claims that it is unable 
     to locate Lieutenant General Giorgadze in Moscow.
       (5) The Georgian Security and Interior Ministries presented 
     information to the Russian Interior Ministry on November 13, 
     1996; January 17, 1997; March 7, 1997; March 24, 1997 and 
     August 12, 1997, which included the exact location in Moscow 
     of where Lieutenant General Giorgadze's family lived, the 
     exact location where Lieutenant General Giorgadze lived 
     outside of Moscow in a dacha of the Russian Ministry of 
     Defense; as well as the changing official Russian government 
     license tag numbers and description of the automobile that 
     Lieutenant General Giorgadze uses; the people he associates 
     with; the apartments he visits, and the places including 
     restaurants, markets, and companies, that he frequents.
       (6) On May 12, 1998, the Moscow-based Russian newspaper 
     Zavtra carried an interview with Lieutenant General Giorgadze 
     in which Lieutenant General Giorgadze calls for the overthrow 
     of the Government of Georgia.
       (7) Title II of the Foreign Operations Appropriations, 
     Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 
     1998 (Public Law 105-118) prohibits assistance to any 
     government of the new independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union if that government directs any action in violation of 
     the national sovereignty of any other new independent state.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Secretary of Defense should--
       (1) urge the Government of the Russian Federation to 
     extradite the former Chief of the Georgian National Security 
     Service, Lieutenant General Igor Giorgadze, to Georgia for 
     the purpose of standing trial for his role in the attempted 
     assassination of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze on 
     August 29, 1995;
       (2) request cooperation from the Minister of Defense of the 
     Russian Federation in ensuring that Russian military bases on 
     Georgian territory are no longer used to facilitate the 
     escape of assassins seeking to kill the freely elected 
     President of Georgia;
       (3) make any joint United States-Russian programs funded 
     under the authority of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 1999 contingent upon Russian respect for the 
     national sovereignty of its neighbors; and
       (4) use all authorities available to the Department of 
     Defense to provide urgent and immediate assistance to bolster 
     the training of personnel, and the delivery of equipment such 
     as weapons, vehicles, vehicle armor, body armor, secure 
     communications, surveillance and counter surveillance 
     equipment, and bomb detection equipment, to ensure to the 
     maximum extent practicable the personal security of President 
     Shevardnadze.

     would specifically authorize the continued deployment of 
     ground combat forces of the Armed Forces of the United States 
     in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (b) Plan for Withdrawal of Forces.--If legislation referred 
     to in subsection (a) is not presented to the President on or 
     before March 31, 1999, the President shall submit to

     provides for the ground combat forces of the Armed Forces of 
     the United States in Bosnia and Herzegovina to be withdrawn 
     from Bosnia and Herzegovina in an orderly and safe manner.
       (c) Prohibition.--
       (1) Use of funds after march 31, 1999.--After March 31, 
     1999, none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
     or any other Act may be obligated or expended to support the 
     continued deployment of United States ground combat forces in 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina, except for the purpose of 
     implementing the withdrawal plan.
       (2) Condition.--The prohibition on use of funds in 
     paragraph (1) shall not take effect if a joint resolution 
     described in subsection (d)(1) is enacted on or before March 
     31, 1999.
       (d) Procedures for Joint Resolution of Approval.--
       (1) Content of joint resolution.--For the purposes of 
     subsection (c)(2), ``joint resolution'' means only a joint 
     resolution that sets forth as the matter after the resolving 
     clause only the following: ``That the continued deployment of 
     ground combat forces of the Armed Forces of the United States 
     in Bosnia and Herzegovina is authorized.''.
       (2) Referral to committee.--A resolution described in 
     paragraph (1) that is introduced in the Senate shall be 
     referred to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate. A 
     resolution described in paragraph (1) that is introduced in 
     the House of Representatives shall be referred to the 
     Committee on National Security of the House of 
     Representatives.
       (3) Discharge of committee.--If the committee to which is 
     referred a resolution described in paragraph (1) has not 
     reported such resolution (or an identical resolution) at the 
     end of 7 calendar days after its introduction, the committee 
     shall be deemed to be discharged from further consideration 
     of the resolution and the resolution shall be placed on the 
     appropriate calendar of the House involved.
       (4) Floor consideration.--
       (A) In general.--When the committee to which a resolution 
     is referred has reported, or has been deemed to be discharged 
     (under paragraph (3)) from further consideration of, a 
     resolution described in paragraph (1), it is at any time 
     thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the 
     same effect has been disagreed to) for any Member of the 
     respective House to move to proceed to the consideration of 
     the resolution, and all points of order against the 
     resolution (and against consideration of the resolution) are 
     waived. The motion is highly privileged in the House of 
     Representatives and is privileged in the Senate and is not 
     debatable. The motion is not subject to amendment, or to a 
     motion to postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the 
     consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider the 
     vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall 
     not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the consideration 
     of the resolution is agreed to, the resolution shall remain 
     the unfinished business of the respective House until 
     disposed of.
       (B) Debate.--Debate on the resolution, and on all debatable 
     motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited 
     to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally 
     between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. A 
     motion further to limit debate is in order and not debatable. 
     An amendment to, or a motion to postpone, or a motion to 
     proceed to the consideration of other business, or a motion 
     to recommit the resolution is not in order. A motion to 
     reconsider the vote by which the resolution is agreed to or 
     disagreed to is not in order.
       (C) Vote on final passage.--Immediately following the 
     conclusion of the debate on a resolution described in 
     paragraph (1), and a single quorum call at the conclusion of 
     the debate if requested in accordance with the rules of the 
     appropriate House, the vote on final passage of the 
     resolution shall occur.
       (D) Rulings of the chair on procedure.--Appeals from the 
     decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the 
     rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the 
     case may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution 
     described in paragraph (1) shall be decided without debate.
       (5) Coordination with action by other house.--If, before 
     the passage by one House of a resolution of that House 
     described in paragraph (1), that House receives from the 
     other House a resolution described in paragraph (1), then the 
     following procedures shall apply:
       (A) The resolution of the other House shall not be referred 
     to a committee.
       (B) With respect to a resolution described in paragraph (1) 
     of the House receiving the resolution--
       (i) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no 
     resolution had been received from the other House; but
       (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on the resolution 
     of the other House.
       (6) Consideration of veto.--
       (A) Action upon receipt of message.--Upon receipt of a 
     message from the President returning the joint resolution 
     unsigned to the House of origin and setting forth his 
     objections to the joint resolution, the House receiving the 
     message shall immediately enter the objections at large on 
     the journal of that House and the House shall proceed to the 
     immediate reconsideration of the joint resolution the 
     objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding 
     or of a motion to proceed to the immediate reconsideration of 
     the joint resolution, or the joint resolution and objections 
     shall lie on the table. Upon receipt of a message of a House 
     transmitting the joint resolution and the objections of the 
     President, the House receiving the message shall proceed to 
     the immediate reconsideration of the joint resolution the 
     objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding 
     or of a motion to proceed to the immediate reconsideration of 
     the joint resolution, or the joint resolution and objections 
     shall lie on the table. A motion to refer the joint 
     resolution to a committee shall not be in order in either 
     House.

[[Page S6823]]

       (B) Motion to proceed.--After the receipt of a message by a 
     House as described in subparagraph (A), it is at any time in 
     order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has 
     been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective House to 
     move to proceed to the reconsideration of the joint 
     resolution the objections of the President to the contrary 
     notwithstanding. The motion is highly privileged in the House 
     of Representatives and is a question of highest privilege in 
     the Senate and is not debatable. The motion is not subject to 
     amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or to a motion to 
     proceed to the consideration of other business. A motion to 
     reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or 
     disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to 
     the reconsideration of the resolution is agreed to, the 
     resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the 
     respective House until disposed of.
       (C) Debate.--Debate on reconsideration of the joint 
     resolution, and on all debatable motions and appeals in 
     connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 10 
     hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring 
     and those opposing the joint resolution. A motion further to 
     limit debate is in order and not debatable. An amendment to, 
     or a motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the 
     consideration of other business is not in order. A motion to 
     reconsider the vote by which the joint resolution is agreed 
     to notwithstanding the objections of the President or 
     disagreed to is not in order.
       (D) Vote on final passage.--Immediately following the 
     conclusion of the debate on reconsideration of the 
     resolution, and a single quorum call at the conclusion of the 
     debate if requested in accordance with the rules of the 
     appropriate House, the vote on the question of passage, the 
     objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding, 
     shall occur.
       (7) Rules of house of representatives and senate.--This 
     subsection is enacted by Congress--
       (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
     and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is 
     deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
     applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed 
     in that House in the case of a resolution described in 
     paragraph (1), and it supersedes other rules only to the 
     extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and
       (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
     either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
     procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and 
     to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that 
     House.

     Representatives, together with the budget of the President 
     for each fiscal year that is submitted to Congress under 
     section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, an assessment 
     of the program under this subsection during the preceding 
     year, including the effectiveness of the program in providing 
     opportunities for small businesses to interact with and use 
     the resources of the contractor-operated facilities of the 
     Department.

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, partnerships among our federal 
laboratories, universities, and industry provide important benefits to 
our nation. They help to create innovative new products and services 
that drive our economy and improve our quality of life. Today I submit 
the DOE Partnership Amendment to the National Defense Authorization 
Bill for Fiscal Year 1999. This Amendment improves the capabilities at 
the DOE sites for effective partnerships and interactions with other 
federal agencies, with the private sector, and with universities.
  I have personally observed the positive impacts of well crafted 
partnerships. These partnerships enhance the ability of the 
laboratories and other contractor-operated facilities of the Department 
of Energy to accomplish their federal missions at the same time that 
the companies benefit though enhanced competitiveness from the 
technical resources available at these sites.
  I have also seen important successes achieved by other federal 
agencies and companies that utilized the resources of the national 
laboratories and other

[[Page S6824]]

Department sites through contract research mechanisms. Contract 
research enables these sites to contribute their technical expertise in 
cases where the private sector can not supply a customer's needs. 
Partnerships and other interactions enable companies and other agencies 
to accomplish their own missions better, faster, and cheaper.
  I've seen spectacular examples where small businesses have been 
created around breakthrough technologies from the national laboratories 
and other contractor-operated sites of the DOE. But, at present, only 
the Department's Defense Programs has a specific program for small 
business partnerships and assistance.
  All programs of the Department have expertise that can be driving 
small business successes. Historically, in the United States, small 
businesses have often been the most innovative and the fastest to 
exploit new technical opportunities--all of the Department's programs 
should be open to the small business interactions that Defense Programs 
has so effectively utilized.
  I have been concerned that barriers to these partnerships and 
interactions continue to exist within the Department of Energy. In 
addition, the Department's laboratories and other sites need continuing 
encouragement to be fully receptive to partnership opportunities that 
meet both their own mission objectives and industry's goals. And 
finally, small business interactions should be encouraged across the 
Department of Energy, not only in Defense Programs.
  For these reasons, I introduced S. 1874 on March 27, 1998, the 
Department of Energy Small Business and Industry Partnership 
Enhancement Act of 1998, which was co-sponsored by Senators Thompson, 
Craig, Kempthorne, Bingaman, Reid, and Lieberman. The National 
Coalition for Advanced Manufacturing, or NACFAM, endorsed our actions 
with S. 1874, describing it as ``a crucial step in reducing barriers to 
cooperation between the national laboratories and private industry, 
higher education institutions, non-profit entities, and state and local 
governments.'' NACFAM also noted that this ``bill supports our shared 
conviction that collaborative R&D will further strengthen America's 
productivity growth and national security.''
  Today I submit, with Senator Bingaman as a co-sponsor, language for 
amendment of the National Defense Authorization Bill for Fiscal Year 
1999 that accomplishes almost the same goals as S. 1874. This Amendment 
was developed through consultation with several of the co-sponsors, the 
Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, the Senate Committee on 
Armed Services, and the Department of Energy.
  This Amendment removes barriers to more effective utilization of all 
of the Department's contractor-operated facilities by industry, other 
federal agencies, and universities. The Amendment covers all the 
Department's contractor-operated facilities--national laboratories and 
their other sites like Kansas City, Pantex, Hanford, Savannah River, or 
the Nevada Test Site.

  This Amendment also provides important encouragement to the 
contractor-operated sites to increase their partnerships and other 
interactions with universities and companies. And finally, it creates 
opportunities for small businesses to benefit from the technical 
resources available at all of the Department's contractor-operated 
facilities.
  This Amendment supplements the authority of the Atomic Energy Act, 
which limited the areas wherein the Department's facilities could 
provide research and other services, not in competition with the 
private sector, to only those mission areas undertaken in the earliest 
days of the AEC. My Amendment recognizes that the Department's 
responsibilities are far broader than the original AEC, and that all 
parts of the Department should be available to help on a contract basis 
wherever capabilities are not available from private industry.
  One barrier at the Department to contract research involves charges 
added by the Department to the cost of work accomplished by a site. At 
some laboratories, these charges now range up to 25%. This Amendment 
requires that charges to customers for research and other services at 
these facilities be fully recovered, and sharply limits addition of 
extra charges by the Department to only 3%. The Amendment further 
requires waiver of these extra charges for small business and non-
profit entities and provides a process for the Secretary of Energy to 
continue any pre-existing waivers.
  The Amendment creates a five-year pilot program for external 
customers that enables facilities to examine their overhead rates and 
determine if an alternative lower rate serves to cover services 
actually used by these customers. For example, where companies or 
universities do not require secure facilities or do not utilize the 
extensive special nuclear material capabilities of the laboratories, 
then the customer will be charged an overhead rate that excludes 
security costs and environmental legacy costs. This pilot program will 
enable the Department and facilities to evaluate the impact of these 
lower overhead rates for one important class of external customers. The 
Department is required to report in 2003 on the interim results of this 
Pilot and to provide recommendations on possibly continuing this Pilot 
and even extending it to include other federal customers.
  The Amendment provides direct encouragement for expansion of 
partnerships and interactions with companies and universities by 
requiring that each facility be annually judged for success in 
expanding these interactions in ways that support each facility's 
missions. The Amendment requires that the external partnership and 
interaction program be considered in evaluating the annual contract 
performance at each site.
  And finally, the Amendment sets up a new Small Business Partnership 
Program in which all of the Department sites participate. This action 
will enable small businesses across the United States to better access 
and partner with any of the Department's contractor-owned facilities. A 
fund for such interactions up to 0.25 percent of the total site budget 
is available for these small business interactions.
  With these changes, Mr. President, the Department of Energy 
facilities will be better able to meet their critical national 
missions, while at the same time assisting other federal agencies, 
large and small businesses, and universities in better meeting their 
goals and missions.

                 CONRAD (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2915

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. CONRAD (for himself, Mr. Kempthorne, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. 
Bingaman) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by them to the 
bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in subtitle D of title X, insert 
     the following:

     SEC.  RUSSIAN NON-STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate 
     that
       (1) the 7,000 to 12,000 or more non-strategic (or 
     ``tactical'') nuclear weapons estimated by the United States 
     Strategic Command to be in the Russian arsenal may present 
     the greatest threat of sale or theft of a nuclear warhead in 
     the world today;
       (2) as the number of deployed strategic warheads in the 
     Russian and United States arsenals declines to just a few 
     thousand under the START accords, Russia's vast superiority 
     in tactical nuclear warheads--many of which have yields 
     equivalent to strategic nuclear weapons--could become 
     strategically destabilizing;
       (3) while the United States has unilaterally reduced its 
     inventory of tactical nuclear warheads by nearly ninety 
     percent since the end of the Cold War, Russia is behind 
     schedule in implementing the steep tactical nuclear arms 
     reductions pledged by former Soviet President Gorbachev in 
     1991 and Russian President Yeltsin in 1992, perpetuating the 
     dangers from Russia's tactical nuclear stockpile;
       (4) the President of the United States should call on the 
     Russian Federation to expedite reduction of its tactical 
     nuclear arsenal in accordance with the promises made in 1991 
     and 1992, and pledge continued cooperation from the United 
     States in reducing Russia's tactical nuclear stockpile; and
       (5) it is a top foreign policy priority of the United 
     States to work aggressively to reduce the threats from the 
     non-strategic nuclear arsenal of the Russian Federation, 
     through continued cooperation on accounting for, security, 
     and reducing Russia's stockpile of tactical nuclear warheads 
     and associated fissile material.
       (b) Report.--Not later than March 15, 1999, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to the Congress a report on Russia's 
     non-strategic nuclear weapons, including
       (1) estimates regarding the current numbers, types, yields, 
     viability, and locations of such warheads;
       (2) an assessment of the strategic implications of the 
     Russian Federation's non-strategic arsenal, including the 
     potential use of such warheads in a strategic role or the use 
     of their components in strategic nuclear systems;
       (3) an assessment of the extent of the current threat of 
     theft, sale, or unauthorized use of such warheads, including 
     an analysis of Russian command and control as it concerns the 
     use of tactical nuclear warheads;
       (4) a summary of past, current, and planned efforts to work 
     cooperatively with the Russian Federation to account for, 
     secure, and reduce Russia's stockpile of tactical nuclear 
     warheads and associated fissile material; and
       (5) options for additional threat reduction initiatives 
     concerning Russia's tactical nuclear stockpile.
       This report shall include the views of the Director of 
     Central Intelligence and the Commander in Chief of the United 
     States Strategic Command.
       Strike out section 527, and insert in lieu thereof the 
     following:

     SEC. 527. REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO RECRUIT BASIC TRAINING.

       (a) Army.--(1) Chapter 401 of title 10, United States Code, 
     is amended by adding at the end the following new section:

     ``Sec. 4319. Recruit basic training: separate platoons and 
       separate housing for male and female recruits

       ``(a) Separate Platoons.--The Secretary of the Army shall 
     require that during basic training--
       ``(1) male recruits shall be assigned to platoons 
     consisting only of male recruits; and
       ``(2) female recruits shall be assigned to platoons 
     consisting only of female recruits.
       ``(b) Separate Housing Facilities.--The Secretary of the 
     Army shall require that during basic training male and female
