       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 withdraw 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 follow-on force for Bosnia and

[[Page S7023]]

     Herzegovina if the European Security and Defense Identity is 
     not sufficiently developed or is otherwise considered 
     inappropriate for such a mission;
       (4) the United States may 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;
       (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 
     Western European Union-led 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.

               HUTCHINSON (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2976

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

       Add at the end the following new title:

                       TITLE   --RADIO FREE ASIA

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Radio Free Asia Act of 
     1997''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     systematically controls the flow of information to the 
     Chinese people.
       (2) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     demonstrated that maintaining its monopoly on political power 
     is a higher priority than economic development by announcing 
     in January 1996 that its official news agency Xinhua, will 
     supervise wire services selling economic information, 
     including Dow Jones-Telerate, Bloomberg, and Reuters 
     Business, and in announcing in February of 1996 the ``Interim 
     Internet Management Rules'', which have the effect of 
     censoring computer networks.
       (3) Under the May 30, 1997, order of Premier Li Peng, all 
     organizations that engage in business activities related to 
     international computer networking must now apply for a 
     license, increasing still further government control over 
     access to the Internet.
       (4) Both Radio Free Asia and the Voice of America, as a 
     surrogate for a free press in the People's Republic of China, 
     provide an invaluable source of uncensored information to the 
     Chinese people, including objective and authoritative news of 
     in-country and regional events, as well as accurate news 
     about the United States and its policies.
       (5) Radio Free Asia currently broadcasts only 7 hours a day 
     in the Mandarin dialect, 2 hours a day in Tibetan, and 2 
     hours a day in Cantonese.
       (6) Voice of America currently broadcasts only 10 hours a 
     day in Mandarin, 2 hours a day in Tibetan, and 1 hour a day 
     in Cantonese.
       (7) Radio Free Asia and Voice of America should develop 24-
     hour-a-day service in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Tibetan, as 
     well as further broadcasting capability in the dialects 
     spoken in the People's Republic of China.
       (8) Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, in working toward 
     continuously broadcasting to the People's Republic of China 
     in multiple languages, have the capability to immediately 
     establish 24-hour-a-day Mandarin broadcasting to that nation 
     by staggering the hours of Radio Free Asia and Voice of 
     America.
       (9) Simultaneous broadcasting on Voice of America radio and 
     Worldnet television 7 days a week in Mandarin are also 
     important and needed capabilities.

     SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR INCREASED FUNDING

``9319. Recruit basic training: separate housing and privacy for male 
              and female recruits.''.

       (d) Implementation.--(1) The Secretary of the Army, the 
     Secretary of the Navy, or the Secretary of the Air Force 
     shall implement section 4319, 6931, or 9319, respectively, of 
     title 10, United States Code (as added by this section), as 
     rapidly as feasible and shall ensure that the provisions of 
     that section are applied to all recruit basic training 
     classes beginning not later than the first such class that 
     enters basic training on or after April 15, 1999.
       (2)(A) If the Secretary of the military department 
     concerned determines that it is not feasible, during some or 
     all of the period beginning on April 15, 1999, and ending on 
     October 1, 2001, to comply with the requirement for separate 
     housing at any particular installation at which basic 
     training is conducted because facilities at that installation 
     are insufficient for such purpose, the Secretary may grant a 
     waiver of the requirement with respect to that installation. 
     Any such waiver may not be in effect after October 1, 2001, 
     and may only be in effect while the facilities at that 
     installation are insufficient for the purposes of compliance 
     with the requirement for separate housing.
       (B) If the Secretary of a military department grants a 
     waiver under subparagraph (A) with respect to an 
     installation, the Secretary shall require that male and 
     female recruits in basic training at that installation during 
     any period that the waiver is in effect not be housed on the 
     same floor of a barracks or other troop housing facility.
       (3) In this subsection:
       (A) The term ``requirement for separate housing'' means--
       (i) with respect to the Army, the requirement set forth in 
     section 4319(a) of title 10, United States Code, as added by 
     subsection (a);
       (ii) with respect to the Navy and the Marine Corps, the 
     requirement set forth in section 6931(a) of such title, as 
     added by subsection (b); and
       (iii) with respect to the Air Force, the requirement set 
     forth in section 9319(a) of such title, as added by 
     subsection (c).
       (B) The term ``basic training'' means the initial entry 
     training program of an armed force that constitutes the basic 
     training of new recruits.
       (e) Authorization of Appropriations.--Funds are authorized 
     to be appropriated for the Department of Defense for fiscal 
     year 1999 for actions necessary to carry out this section and 
     the amendments made by this section, including military 
     construction projects (which projects are hereby authorized), 
     in the total amount of $166,000,000.

     otherwise available to the Department of Defense may be 
     obligated or expended, to effect or implement the closure of

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FURTHER ROUNDS OF BASE 
                   CLOSURES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that:--
       (1) While the Department of Defense has proposed further 
     rounds of base closures, there is no need to authorize in 
     1998 a new base closure commission that would not begin its 
     work until three years from now, in 2001;
       (2) While the Department of Defense has submitted a report 
     to the Congress in response to Section 2824 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998, that report--
       (A) based its estimates of the costs and savings of 
     previous base closure rounds on data that the General 
     Accounting Office has described as ``inconsistent'', 
     ``unreliable'' and ``incomplete'';
       (B) failed to demonstrate that the Defense Department is 
     working effectively to improve its ability to track base 
     closure costs and savings resulting from the 1993 and 1995 
     base closure rounds, which are ongoing;
       (C) modeled the savings to be achieved as a result of 
     further base closure rounds on the 1993 and 1995 rounds, 
     which are as yet incomplete and on which the Department's 
     information is faulty; and
       (D) projected that base closure rounds in 2001 and 2005 
     would not produce substantial savings until 2008, a decade 
     after the federal government will have achieved unified 
     budget balance, and 5 years beyond the planning period for 
     the current congressional budget and Future Years Defense 
     Plan;
       (3) Section 2824 required that the Congressional Budget 
     Office and the General Accounting Office review the Defense 
     Department's report, and--
       (A) The General Accounting Office stated on May 1 that ``we 
     are now conducting our analysis to be able to report any 
     limitations that may exist in the required level of detail. . 
     . . [W]e are awaiting some supporting documentation from the 
     military services to help us finish documentation from the 
     military services to help us finish assessing the report's 
     information.'';
       (B) The Congressional Budget Office stated on May 1 than 
     its review is ongoing, and that ``it is important that CBO 
     take the time necessary to provide a thoughtful and accurate 
     evaluation of DoD's report, rather than issue a preliminary 
     and potentially inaccurate assessment.'';
       (4) The Congressional Budget Office recommended that ``The 
     Congress could consider authorizing an additional round of 
     base closures if the Department of Defense believes that 
     there is a surplus of military capacity after all rounds of 
     BRAC have been carried out. That consideration, however, 
     should follow an interval during which DoD and independent 
     analysts examine the actual impact of the measures that have 
     been taken thus far.''
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the Sense of Congress 
     that:
       (1) Congress should not authorize further rounds of base 
     closures and realignments until all actions authorized by the 
     Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 are 
     completed; and
       (2) The Department of Defense should submit forthwith to 
     the Congress the report required by Section 2815 of Public 
     Law 103-337, analyzing the effects of base closures and 
     realignments on the ability of the Armed Forces to 
     remobilize, describing the military construction projects 
     needed to facilitate such remobilization, and discussing the 
     assets, such as air space, that would be difficult reacquire 
     in the event of such remobilization.

       (b) Use of Transferred Funds.--Funds transferred pursuant 
     to subsection (a) shall be available for health care programs

     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) 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.
       (3) The experiences of the Department have demonstrated 
     that the military departments and private businesses can 
     carry out activities at the same military installation 
     simultaneously.
       (4) 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.
