     act or threat of an act of terrorism, including an act of 
     terrorism or threat of an act of terrorism that involves a

     incremental costs of providing the assistance. In 
     extraordinary circumstances, the Secretary of Defense may 
     waive reimbursement upon determining that a waiver of the 
     reimbursement is in the national security interests of the 
     United States and submitting to Congress a notification of 
     the determination.
       (2) If funds are appropriated for the Department of Justice 
     to cover the costs of responding to an act or threat for 
     which assistance is provided under subsection (a), the 
     Department of Defense shall be reimbursed out of such funds 
     for the costs incurred by the department in providing the 
     assistance without regard to whether the assistance was 
     provided on a nonreimbursable basis.
       (d) Limitation on Funding.--Not more than $10,000,000 may 
     be obligated to provide assistance pursuant to subsection (a) 
     in a fiscal year.

     other similar activity; or
       (2) collect intelligence for law enforcement purposes.
       (f) Nondelegability of Authority.--(1) The Secretary of 
     Defense may not delegate to any other official authority to 
     make determinations and to authorize assistance under this 
     section.
       (2) The Attorney General may not delegate to any other 
     official authority to make a request for assistance under

     provided in this section is in addition to any other 
     authority available to the Secretary of Defense.
       (2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to restrict 
     any authority regarding use of members of the armed forces or 
     equipment of the Department of Defense that was in effect 
     before the date of enactment of this Act.
       (i) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) The term ``threat of an act of terrorism'' includes any 
     circumstance providing a basis for reasonably anticipating an 
     act of terrorism, as determined by the Secretary of Defense 
     in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary 
     of the Treasury.

                 KENNEDY (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 442

  Mr. KENNEDY (for himself, Mr. Lautenberg, Mr. Brownback, Mr. Smith of 
Oregon, Mr. Moynihan, Mr. Schumer, Mr. Torricelli, Ms. Mikulski, and 
Mr. Kyl) proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 1059, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:

     SEC. ____. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE CONTINUATION 
                   OF SANCTIONS AGAINST LIBYA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On December 21, 1988, 270 people, including 189 United 
     States citizens, were killed in a terrorist bombing on Pan Am 
     103 Flight over Lockerbie, Scotland.
       (2) Britain and the United States indicted two Libyan 
     intelligence agents, Abd al-Baset Ali al-Megrahi and Al-Amin 
     Khalifah Fhimah, in 1991 and sought their extradition from 
     Libya to the United States or the United Kingdom to stand 
     trial for this heinous terrorist act.
       (3) The United Nations Security Council called for the 
     extradition of the suspects in Security Council Resolution 
     731 and imposed sanctions on Libya in Security Council 
     Resolutions 748 and 883 because Libyan leader Colonel Muammar 
     Qadhafi refused to transfer the suspects to either the United 
     States or the United Kingdom to stand trial.
       (4) The United Nations Security Council Resolutions 731, 
     748, and 883 demand that Libya cease all support for 
     terrorism, turn over the two suspects, cooperate with the 
     investigation and the trial, and address the issue of 
     appropriate compensation.
       (5) The sanctions in United Nations Security Council 
     Resolutions 748 and 883 include--
       (A) a worldwide ban on Libya's national airline;
       (B) a ban on flights into and out of Libya by other 
     nations' airlines; and
       (C) a prohibition on supplying arms, airplane parts, and 
     certain oil equipment to Libya, and a blocking of Libyan 
     Government funds in other countries.
       (6) Colonel Muammar Qadhafi for many years refused to 
     extradite the suspects to either the United States or the 
     United Kingdom and had insisted that he would only transfer 
     the suspects to a third and neutral country to stand trial.
       (7) On August 24, 1998, the United States and the United 
     Kingdom agreed to the proposal that Colonel Qadhafi transfer 
     the suspects to The Netherlands, where they would stand trial 
     under a Scottish court, under Scottish law, and with a panel 
     of Scottish judges.
       (8) The United Nations Security Council endorsed the United 
     States-United Kingdom proposal on August 27, 1998 in United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 1192.
       (9) The United States, consistent with United Nations 
     Security Council resolutions, called on Libya to ensure the 
     production of evidence, including the presence of witnesses 
     before the court, and to comply fully with all the 
     requirements of the United Nations Security Council 
     resolutions.
       (10) After years of intensive diplomacy, Colonel Qadhafi 
     finally transferred the two Libyan suspects to The 
     Netherlands on April 5, 1999, and the United Nations Security 
     Council, in turn, suspended its sanctions against Libya that 
     same day.
       (11) Libya has only fulfilled one of four conditions (the 
     transfer of the two suspects accused in the Lockerbie 
     bombing) set forth in United Nations Security Council 
     Resolutions 731, 748, and 883 that would justify the lifting 
     of United Nations Security Council sanctions against Libya.
       (12) Libya has not fulfilled the other three conditions 
     (cooperation with the Lockerbie investigation and trial; 
     renunciation of and ending support for terrorism; and payment 
     of appropriate compensation) necessary to lift the United 
     Nations Security Council sanctions.
       (13) The United Nations Secretary General is expected to 
     issue a report to the Security Council on or before July 5, 
     1999, on the issue of Libya's compliance with the remaining 
     conditions.
       (14) Any member of the United Nations Security Council has 
     the right to introduce a resolution to lift the sanctions 
     against Libya after the United Nations Secretary General's 
     report has been issued.
       (15) The United States Government considers Libya a state 
     sponsor of terrorism and the State Department Report, 
     ``Patterns of Global Terrorism; 1998'', stated that Colonel 
     Qadhafi ``continued publicly and privately to

[[Page S6390]]

     support Palestinian terrorist groups, including the PIJ and 
     the PFLP-GC''.
       (16) United States Government sanctions (other than 
     sanctions on food or medicine) should be maintained on Libya, 
     and in accordance with U.S. law, the Secretary of State 
     should kept Libya on the list of countries the governments of 
     which have repeatedly provided support for acts of 
     international terrorism under section 6(j) of the Export 
     Administration Act of 1979 in light of Libya's ongoing 
     support for terrorist groups.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President should use all diplomatic means necessary, 
     including the use of the United States veto at the United 
     Nations Security Council, to prevent the Security Council 
     from lifting sanctions against Libya until Libya fulfills all 
     of the conditions set forth in United Nations Security 
     Council Resolutions 731, 748, and 883.
                                 ______

     resulting from aircraft quantity changes within the scope of

     section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, written

     during the preceding fiscal year that the Secretary has

     that the F/A-18E/F aircraft has successfully completed

       (A) determines that the results of operational test and 
     evaluation demonstrate that the version of the aircraft to be

     parameters in the operational requirements document for the

       (1) The Cold War between the United States and the former

       (2) Whether millions of people all over the world would 
     live in freedom hinged on the outcome of the Cold War.

     and paid the costs in order to preserve and promote democracy 
     and freedom.
       (4) The Armed Forces and the taxpayers of the United States

     order to protect such principles.
       (5) Tens of thousands of United States soldiers, sailors, 
     Marines, and airmen paid the ultimate price during the Cold 
     War in order to preserve the freedoms and liberties enjoyed 
     in democratic countries.
       (6) The Berlin Wall erected in Berlin, Germany, epitomized 
     the totalitarianism that the United States struggled to 
     eradicate during the Cold War.
       (7) The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, marked 
     the beginning of the end for Soviet totalitarianism, and thus

                      HUTCHISON AMENDMENT NO. 477

  Mr. WARNER (for Mrs. Hutchison) proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 
1059, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:
       Sec.   . (a): Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) It is the National Security Strategy of the United 
     States to ``deter and defeat large-scale, cross-border 
     aggression in two distant theaters in overlapping time 
     frames;''
       (2) The deterrence of Iraq and Iran in Southwest Asia and 
     the deterrence of North Korea in Northeast Asia represent two 
     such potential large-scale, cross-border theater 
     requirements;
       (3) The United States has 120,000 troops permanently 
     assigned to those theaters;
       (4) The United States has an additional 70,000 forces 
     assigned to non-NATO/non-Pacific threat foreign countries;
       (5) The United States has more than 6,000 troops in Bosnia-
     Herzegovina on indefinite assignment;
       (6) The United States has diverted permanently assigned 
     resources from other theaters to support operations in the 
     Balkans;
       (7) The United States provides military forces to seven 
     active United Nations peacekeeping operations, including some 
     missions that have continued for decades;
       (8) Between 1986 and 1998, the number of American military 
     deployments per year has nearly tripled at the same time the 
     Department of Defense budget has been reduced in real terms 
     by 38 percent;
       (9) The Army has 10 active-duty divisions today, down from 
     18 in 1991, while on an average day in FY98, 28,000 U.S. Army 
     soldiers were deployed to more than 70 countries for over 300 
     separate missions;
       (10) Active Air Force fighter wings have gone from 22 to 13 
     since 1991, while 70 percent of air sorties in Operation 
     Allied Force over the Balkans are U.S.-flown and the Air 
     Force continues to enforce northern and southern no-fly zones 
     in Iraq. In response, the Air Force has initiated a ``stop 
     loss'' program to block normal retirements and separations.
       (11) The United States Navy has been reduced in size to 339 
     ships, its lowest level since 1938, necessitating the 
     redeployment of the only overseas homeported aircraft carrier 
     from the Western Pacific to the Mediterranean to support 
     Operation Allied Force;
       (12) In 1998 just 10 percent of eligible carrier naval 
     aviators--27 out of 261--accepted

[[Page S6398]]

     continuation bonuses and remained in service;
       (13) In 1998 48 percent of Air Force pilots eligible for 
     continuation opted to leave the service.
       (14) The Army could fall 6,000 below Congressionally 
     authorized troop strength by the end of 1999.
       (b) Sense of Congress:
       (1) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (A) The readiness of U.S. military forces to execute the 
     National Security Strategy of the United States is being 
     eroded from a combination of declining defense budgets and 
     expanded missions;
       (B) There may be missions to which the United States is 
     contributing Armed Forces from which the United States can 
     begin disengaging.
       (c) Report Requirement.
       (1) Not later than March 1, 2000, the President shall 
     submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the Committee on National Security of the House of 
     Representatives, and to the Committees on Appropriations in 
     both Houses, a report prioritizing the ongoing global 
     missions to which the United States is contributing troops. 
     The President shall include in the report a feasibility 
     analysis of how the United States can:
       (1) shift resources from low priority missions in support 
     of higher priority missions;
       (2) consolidate or reduce U.S. troop commitments worldwide;
       (3) end low priority missions.

                  SMITH (AND WYDEN) AMENDMENT NO. 478

  Mr. WARNER (for Mr. Smith of Oregon, for himself and Mr. Wyden) 
proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 1059, supra; as follows:

       On page 404, below line 22, add the following:

            TITLE XIII--CHEMICAL DEMILITARIZATION ACTIVITIES

     SEC. 1301. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Community-Army Cooperation 
     Act of 1999''.

     SEC. 1302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Between 1945 and 1989, the national security interests 
     of the United States required the construction, and later, 
     the deployment and storage of weapons of mass destruction 
     throughout the geographical United States.
       (2) The United States is a party to international 
     commitments and treaties which require the decommissioning or 
     destruction of certain of these weapons.
       (3) The United States has ratified the Chemical Weapons 
     Convention which requires the destruction of the United 
     States chemical weapons stockpile by April 29, 2007.
       (4) Section 1412 of the Department of Defense Authorization 
     Act, 1986 (50 U.S.C. 1521) provides that the Department of 
     the Army shall be the executive agent for the destruction of 
     the chemical weapons stockpile.
       (5) In 1988, the Department of the Army determined that on-
     site incineration of chemical weapons at the eight chemical 
     weapons storage locations in the continental United States 
     would provide the safest and most efficient means for the 
     destruction of the chemical weapons stockpile.
       (6) The communities in the vicinity of such locations have 
     expressed concern over the safety of the process to be used 
     for the incineration of the chemical weapons stockpile.
       (7) Sections 174 and 175 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484) 
     and section 8065 of the Department of Defense Appropriations 
     Act, 1997 (Public Law 104-208) require that the Department of 
     the Army explore methods other than incineration for the 
     destruction of the chemical weapons stockpile.
       (8) Compliance with the 2007 deadline for the destruction 
     of the United States chemical weapons stockpile in accordance 
     with the Chemical Weapons Convention will require an 
     accelerated decommissioning and transporting of United States 
     chemical weapons.
       (9) The decommissioning or transporting of such weapons has 
     caused, or will cause, environmental, economic, and social 
     disruptions.
       (10) It is appropriate for the United States to mitigate 
     such disruptions.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to provide 
     for the mitigation of the environmental, economic, and social 
     disruptions to communities and Indian tribes resulting from 
     the onsite decommissioning of chemical agents and munitions, 
     and related materials, at chemical demilitarization 
     facilities in the United States.

     SEC. 1303. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense 
     and the Secretary of the Army should streamline the 
     administrative structure of the Department of Defense and the 
     Department of the Army, respectively, in order that the 
     officials within such departments with immediate 
     responsibility for the demilitarization of chemical agents 
     and munitions, and related materials, have authority--
       (1) to meet the April 29, 2007, deadline for the 
     destruction of United States chemical weapon stockpile as 
     required by the Chemical Weapons Convention; and
       (2) to employ sound management principles, including the 
     negotiation and implementation of contract incentives, to--
       (A) accelerate the decommissioning of chemical agents and 
     munitions, and related materials; and
       (B) enforce budget discipline on the chemical 
     demilitarization program of the United States while 
     mitigating the disruption to communities and Indian tribes 
     resulting from the onsite decommissioning of the chemical 
     weapons stockpile at chemical demilitarization facilities in 
     the United States.

     SEC. 1304. DECOMMISSIONING OF UNITED STATES CHEMICAL WEAPONS 
                   STOCKPILE.

       (a) In General.--As executive agent for the chemical 
     demilitarization program of the United States, the Department 
     of the Army shall facilitate, expedite, and accelerate the 
     decommissioning of the United States chemical weapons 
     stockpile so as to complete the decommissioning of that 
     stockpile by April 29, 2007, as required by the Chemical 
     Weapons Convention.

     SEC. 1305. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS.

       (a) In General.--Upon the direction of the Secretary of the 
     Army, the Comptroller of the Army shall make economic 
     assistance payments to communities and Indian tribes directly 
     affected by the decommissioning of chemical agents and 
     munitions, and related materials, at chemical 
     demilitarization facilities in the United States.
       (b) Source of Payments.--Amounts for payments under this 
     section shall be derived from appropriations available to the 
     Department of the Army for chemical demilitarization 
     activities.
       (c) Total Amount of Payments.--(1) Subject to paragraph 
     (2), the aggregate amount of payments under this section with 
     respect to a chemical demilitarization facility during the 
     period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and 
     ending on April 29, 2007, may not be less than $50,000,000 or 
     more than $60,000,000.
       (2) Payments under this section shall cease with respect to 
     a facility upon the transfer of the facility to a State-
     chartered municipal corporation pursuant to an agreement 
     referred to in section 1412(c)(2)(B) of the Department of 
     Defense Authorization Act, 1986, as amended by section 1306 
     of this Act.
       (d) Date of Payment.--(1) Payments under this section with 
     respect to a chemical demilitarization facility shall be made 
     on March 1 and September 2 each year if the decommissioning 
     of chemical agents and munitions, and related materials, 
     occurs at the facility during the applicable payment period 
     with respect to such date.
       (2) For purposes of this section, the term ``applicable 
     payment period'' means--
       (A) in the case of a payment to be made on March 1 of a 
     year, the period beginning on July 1 and ending on December 
     31 of the preceding year; and
       (B) in the case of a payment to be made on September 2 of a 
     year, the period beginning on January 1 and ending on June 30 
     of the year.
       (e) Allocation of Payment--(1) Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), each payment under this section with respect 
     to a chemical demilitarization facility shall be allocated 
     equally among the communities and Indian tribes that are 
     located within the positive action zone of the facility, as 
     determined by population.
       (2) The amount of an allocation under this subsection to a 
     community or Indian tribe shall be reduced by the amount of 
     any tax or fee imposed or assessed by the community or Indian 
     tribe during the applicable payment period against the value 
     of the facility concerned or with respect to the storage or 
     decommissioning of chemical agents and munitions, or related 
     materials, at the facility.
       (f) Computation of Payment.--(1) Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), the amount of each payment under this section 
     with respect to a chemical demilitarization facility shall be 
     the amount equal to $10,000 multiplied by the number of tons 
     of chemical agents and munitions, and related materials, 
     decommissioned at the facility during the applicable payment 
     period.
       (2)(A) If at the conclusion of the decommissioning of 
     chemical agents and munitions, and related materials, at a 
     facility the aggregate amount of payments made with respect 
     to the facility is less than the minimum amount required by 
     subsection (c)(1), unless payments have ceased with respect 
     to the facility under subsection (c)(2), the amount of the 
     final payment under this section shall be the amount equal to 
     the difference between such aggregate amount and the minimum 
     amount required by subsection (c)(1).
       (B) This paragraph shall not apply with respect to a 
     facility if the decommissioning of chemical agents and 
     munitions, and related materials, continues at the facility 
     after April 29, 2007.
       (g) Interest on Untimely Payments.--(1) Any payment that is 
     made under this section for an applicable payment period 
     after the date specified for that period in subsection (d) 
     shall include, in addition to the payment amount otherwise 
     provided for under this section, interest at the rate of 1.5 
     percent per month.
       (2) Amounts for payments of interest under this paragraph 
     shall be derived from amounts available for the Department of 
     Defense, other than amounts available for chemical 
     demilitarization activities.
       (h) Use of Payments.--A community or Indian tribe receiving 
     a payment under this section may utilize amounts of the 
     payment for such purposes as the community or Indian tribe, 
     as the case may be, considers appropriate in its sole 
     discretion.

       (a) Limitation on Jurisdiction.--(1) An action seeking the 
     cessation of the construction, operation, or demolition of a 
     chemical demilitarization facility in the United States may 
     be commenced only in a district court of the United States.
       (2) No administrative office exercising quasi-judicial 
     powers, and no court of any State, may order the cessation of 
     the construction, operation, or demolition of a chemical 
     demilitarization facility in the United States.
       (b) Limitations on Standing.--(1)(A) Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), as of a date specified in subparagraph (B), no 
     person shall have standing to bring an action against the 
     United States relating to the decomissioning of chemical 
     agents and munitions, and related materials, at a chemical 
     demilitarization facility except--
       (i) the State in which the facility is located; or
       (ii) a community or Indian tribe located within the 
     positive action zone of the facility.
       (B) A date referred to in this subparagraph for a chemical 
     demilitarization facility is the earlier of--
       (i) the date on which the first payment is made with 
     respect to the facility under section 1305; or
       (ii) the date on which an agreement referred to in section 
     1412(c)(2)(B) of the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 
     1986, as amended by section 1306 of this Act, becomes 
     effective for the facility in accordance with the provisions 
     of such section 1412(c)(2)(B).
       (2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply in the case of an action 
     by a State, community, or Indian tribe to determine whether 
     the State, community, or Indian tribe, as the case may be, 
     has a legal or equitable interest in the facility concerned.
       (c) Interim Relief.--(1) During the pendency of an action 
     referred to in subsection (a), a district court of the United 
     States may issue a temporary restraining order against the 
     ongoing construction, operation, or demolition of a chemical 
     demilitarization facility if the petitioner proves by clear 
     and convincing evidence that the construction, operation, or 
     demolition of the facility, as the case may be, is will cause 
     demonstrable harm to the public, the environment, or the 
     personnel who are employed at the facility.
       (2) The Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Army 
     may appeal immediately any temporary restraining order issued 
     under paragraph (1) to the court of appeals of the United 
     States.
       (d) Standards To Be Employed in Actions.--In considering an 
     action under this section, including an appeal from an order 
     under subsection (c), the courts of the United States shall--
       (1) treat as an irrebuttable presumption the presumption 
     that any activities at a chemical demilitarization facility 
     that are undertaken in compliance with standards of the 
     Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of 
     Transportation, or the Environmental Protection Agency 
     relating to the safety of the public, the environment, and 
     personnel at the facility will provide maximum safety to the 
     public, environment, and such personnel; and
       (2) in the case of an action seeking the cessation of 
     construction or operation of a facility, compare the benefit 
     to be gained by granting the specific relief sought by the 
     petitioner against with the increased risk, if any, to the 
     public, environment, or personnel at the facility that would 
     result from deterioration of chemical agents and munitions, 
     or related materials, during the cessation of the 
     construction or operation.
       (e) Participation in Actions as Bar to Payments.--(1) No 
     community or Indian tribe which participates in any action 
     the result of which is to defer, delay, or otherwise impede 
     the decommissioning of chemical agents and munitions, or 
     related materials, in a chemical demilitarization facility 
     may receive any payment or portion thereof made with respect 
     to the facility under section 1305 while so participating in 
     such action.
       (f) Impleading of Contractors.--(1) The Department of the 
     Army may, in an action with respect to a chemical 
     demilitarization facility, implead a nongovernmental entity 
     having contractual responsibility for the decommissioning of 
     chemical agents and munitions, or related materials, at the 
     facility for purposes of determining the responsibility of 
     the entity for any matters raised by the action.
       (2)(A) A court of the United States may assess damages 
     against a nongovernmental entity impleaded under paragraph 
     (1) for acts of commission or omission of the entity that 
     contribute to the failure of the United States to 
     decommission chemical agents and munitions, and related 
     materials, at the facility concerned by April 29, 2007, in 
     accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention.
       (B) The damages assessed under subparagraph (A) may include 
     the imposition of liability on an entity for any payments 
     that would otherwise be required of the United States under 
     section 1305 with respect to the facility concerned.

  Mr. WARNER (for Mr. Thurmond) proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 
1059, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place insert the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS OF 
                   AMERICAN SERVICEMEN'S FAMILIES REGARDING DEATHS 
                   RESULTING FROM THE ACCIDENT OFF THE COAST OF 
                   NAMIBIA ON SEPTEMBER 13, 1997.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) On September 13, 1997, a German Luftwaffe Tupelov TU-
     154M aircraft collided with a United States Air Force C-141 
     Starlifter aircraft off the coast of Namibia.
       (2) As a result of that collision nine members of the 
     United States Air Force were killed, namely Staff Sergeant 
     Stacey D. Bryant, 32, loadmaster, Providence, Rhode Island; 
     Staff Sergeant Gary A. Bucknam, 25, flight engineer, Oakland, 
     Maine; Captain Gregory M. Cindrich, 28, pilot, Byrans Road, 
     Maryland; Airman 1st Class Justin R. Drager, 19, loadmaster, 
     Colorado Springs, Colorado; Staff Sergeant Robert K. Evans, 
     31, flight engineer, Garrison, Kentucky; Captain Jason S. 
     Ramsey, 27, pilot, South Boston, Virginia; Staff Sergeant 
     Scott N. Roberts, 27, flight engineer, Library, Pennsylvania; 
     Captain Peter C. Vallejo, 34, aircraft commander, Crestwood, 
     New York; and Senior Airman Frankie L. Walker, 23, crew 
     chief, Windber, Pennsylvania.
       (3) The Final Report of the Ministry of Defense of the 
     Defense Committee of the German Bundestag states 
     unequivocally that, following an investigation, the 
     Directorate of Flight Safety of the German Federal Armed 
     Forces assigned responsibility for the collision to the 
     Aircraft Commander/Commandant of the Luftwaffe Tupelov TU-
     154M aircraft for flying at a flight level that did not 
     conform to international flight rules.
       (4) The United States Air Force accident investigation 
     report concluded that the primary cause of the collision was 
     the Luftwaffe Tupelov TU-154M aircraft flying at an incorrect 
     cruise altitude.
       (5) Procedures for filing claims under the Status of Forces 
     Agreement are unavailable to the families of the members of 
     the United States Air Force killed in the collision.

[[Page S6400]]

       (6) The families of the members of the United States Air 
     Force killed in the collision have filed claims against the 
     Government of Germany.
       (7) The Senate has adopted an amendment authorizing the 
     payment to citizens of Germany of a supplemental settlement 
     of claims arising from the deaths caused by the accident 
     involving a United States Marine Corps EA-6B aircraft on 
     February 3, 1998, near Cavalese, Italy.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Government of Germany should promptly settle with 
     the families of the members of the United States Air Force 
     killed in a collision between a United States Air Force C-141 
     Starlifter aircraft and a German Luftwaffe Tupelov TU-154M 
     aircraft off the coast of Namibia on September 13, 1997; and
       (2) the United States should not make any payment to 
     citizens of Germany as settlement of such citizens' claims 
     for deaths arising from the accident involving a United 
     States Marine Corps EA-6B aircraft on February 3, 1998, near 
     Cavalese, Italy, until a comparable settlement is reached 
     between the Government of Germany and the families described 
     in paragraph (1) with respect to the collision described in 
     that paragraph.
