       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 1863, the United States detained nearly 9,000 Navajo 
     and forced their migration across nearly 350 miles of land to 
     Bosque Redondo, a journey known as the ``Long Walk''.
       (2) Mescalero Apache people were also incarcerated at 
     Bosque Redondo.
       (3) The Navajo and Mescalero Apache people labored to plant 
     crops, dig irrigation ditches and build housing, but drought, 
     cutworms, hail, and alkaline Pecos River water created severe 
     living conditions for nearly 9,000 captives.
       (4) Suffering and hardships endured by the Navajo and 
     Mescalero Apache people forged a new understanding of their 
     strengths as Americans.
       (5) The Treaty of 1868 was signed by the United States and 
     the Navajo tribes, recognizing the Navajo Nation as it exists 
     today.
       (6) The State of New Mexico has appropriated a total of 
     $123,000 for a planning study and for the design of the 
     Bosque Redondo Memorial.
       (7) Individuals and businesses in DeBaca County donated 
     $6,000 toward the production of a brochure relating to the 
     Bosque Redondo Memorial.
       (8) The Village of Fort Sumner donated 70 acres of land to 
     the State of New Mexico contiguous to the existing 50 acres 
     comprising Fort Sumner State Monument, contingent on the 
     funding of the Bosque Redondo Memorial.
       (9) Full architectural plans and the exhibit design for the 
     Bosque Redondo Memorial have been completed.
       (10) The Bosque Redondo Memorial project has the 
     encouragement of the President of the Navajo Nation and the 
     President of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, who have each 
     appointed tribal members to serve as project advisors.
       (11) The Navajo Nation, the Mescalero Tribe, and the 
     National Park Service are collaborating to develop a 
     symposium on the Bosque Redondo Long Walk and a curriculum 
     for inclusion in the New Mexico school curricula.
       (12) An interpretive center would provide important 
     educational and enrichment opportunities for all Americans.
       (13) Federal financial assistance is needed for the 
     construction of a Bosque Redondo Memorial.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
       (1) To commemorate the people who were interned at Bosque 
     Redondo.
       (2) To pay tribute to the native populations' ability to 
     rebound from suffering, and establish the strong, living 
     communities that have long been a major influence in the 
     State of New Mexico and in the United States.
       (3) To provide Americans of all ages a place to learn about 
     the Bosque Redondo experience and how it resulted in the 
     establishment of strong American Indian Nations from once 
     divergent bands.
       (4) To support the construction of the Bosque Redondo 
     Memorial commemorating the detention of the Navajo and 
     Mescalero Apache people at Bosque Redondo from 1863 to 1868.

     directed energy science and technology programs be increased 
     in order to support priority acquisition programs and to 
     develop new technologies for future applications.
       (4) It is in the national interest that the level of 
     funding for directed energy science and technology programs 
     correspond to the level of funding for large-scale 
     demonstration programs in order to ensure the growth of 
     directed energy science and technology programs and to ensure 
     the successful development of other weapons systems utilizing 
     directed energy systems.
       (5) The industrial base for several critical directed 
     energy technologies is in fragile condition and lacks 
     appropriate incentives to make the large-scale investments 
     that are necessary to address current and anticipated 
     Department of Defense requirements for such technologies.
       (6) It is in the national interest that the Department of 
     Defense utilize and expand upon directed energy research 
     currently being conducted by the Department of Energy, other 
     Federal agencies, the private sector, and academia.
       (7) It is increasingly difficult for the Federal Government 
     to recruit and retain personnel with skills critical to 
     directed energy technology development.
       (8) The implementation of the recommendations contained in 
     the High Energy Laser Master Plan of the Department of 
     Defense is in the national interest.
       (9) Implementation of the management structure outlined in 
     the Master Plan will facilitate the development of 
     revolutionary capabilities in directed energy weapons by 
     achieving a coordinated and focused investment strategy under 
     a new management structure featuring a joint technology 
     office with senior-level oversight provided by a technology 
     council and a board of directors.

       Sec. 8126. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) Failure to operate and standardize the current Tethered 
     Aerostat Radar System (TARS) sites along the Southwest border 
     of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico will result in a 
     degradation of the counterdrug capability of the United 
     States.
       (2) Most of the illicit drugs consumed in the United States 
     enter the United States through the Southwest border, the 
     Gulf of Mexico, and Florida.
       (3) The Tethered Aerostat Radar System is a critical 
     component of the counterdrug mission of the United States 
     relating to the detection and apprehension of drug 
     traffickers.
       (4) Preservation of the current Tethered Aerostat Radar 
     System network compels drug traffickers to transport illicit 
     narcotics into the United States by more risky and hazardous 
     routes.
       (b) Availability of Funds for TARS.--Of the amount 
     appropriated under title VI under the heading ``Drug 
     Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities, Defense'', 
     $23,000,000 shall be available to Drug Enforcement Policy 
     Support (DEP&S) for purposes of maintaining operations of the 
     11 current Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) sites and 
     completing the standardization of such sites located along 
     the Southwest border of the United States and in the States 
     bordering the Gulf of Mexico.

     local educational agency that pays for the free public 
     education of the student; or

     a program offered by the local educational agency, or within

     educational agency.

                 BIDEN (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 3370

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. BIDEN (for himself, Mr. Roth, and Mr. Coverdell) submitted an 
amendment intended to be proposed by them to the bill, H.R. 4576, 
supra; as follows:

       On page 109, between lines 11 and 12, insert the following:
       Sec. 8126. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The mission of the C-5 aircraft is to transport heavy 
     loads over long distances. In particular, the C-5 aircraft 
     regularly runs missions to and from Europe and the Pacific 
     and the United States. For this reason, compliance with the 
     rules of International Civil Aviation Organization regarding 
     high-density flight areas is important for the entire C-5 
     aircraft fleet.
       (2) The C-5 aircraft Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) 
     is necessary for all aircraft that will need to comply with 
     the new Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) standards 
     established by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
       (3) Compliance with GATM allows aircraft to use more 
     operationally efficient airspace and lowers operational 
     costs.
       (4) AMP also includes the installation of important safety 
     features such as Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System 
     and an enhanced all weather navigational system, the Terrain 
     Awareness and Warning System.
       (5) Both the A and B models of the C-5 aircraft are 
     expected to be flown by the Air Force, including the Regular 
     Air Force and the Reserves. None of the aircrews for such 
     aircraft should be subjected to increased risks stemming from 
     the lack of these safety features.
       (6) Efficient use of aircrew members and crew interfly will 
     be prevented because of the dissimilarities that would exist 
     between the avionics and navigation systems of the A and B 
     models of the C-5 aircraft. This is particularly problematic 
     when additional aircrew members are needed to meet Major 
     Theater War requirements.
       (7) The Committee on Armed Services of the Senate 
     specifically requested that the Secretary of the Air Force 
     proceed to test AMP upgrades on both A and B models of the C-
     5 aircraft in Senate Report No. 106-292, the Report to 
     Accompany S.2549, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2001.
       (8) The on-going installation of new High Pressure Turbines 
     (HPT) is essential for the entire C-5 aircraft fleet because 
     the current logistics system no longer supports the old 
     turbine assemblies for the fleet.
       (9) Without HPT replacement, C-5 aircraft will have 
     increased support costs of approximately $700 per flight 
     hour.
       (10) By attempting to maintain 2 separate engine 
     configurations and 2 separate avionics and navigation systems 
     within the relatively small C-5 aircraft fleet (126 
     airplanes), additional spares and support equipment will be 
     necessary with increased unit costs.
       (b) Availability of Funds.--Of the amount appropriated 
     under title III under the heading ``Aircraft Procurement, Air 
     Force'' and available for procurement for the C-5 aircraft, 
     in the amount of $95,401,000, the entire amount shall be 
     available for procurement for both the A and B models of the 
     C-5 aircraft.
                                 ______
                                 

                  BIDEN (AND ROTH) AMENDMENT NO. 3371

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. BIDEN (for himself and Mr. Roth) submitted an amendment intended 
to be proposed by them to the bill, H.R. 4576, supra; as follows:

       On page 109, between lines 11 and 12, insert the following:
       Sec. 8126. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) There exists a significant shortfall in the Nation's 
     current strategic airlift requirement, even though strategic 
     airlift remains critical to the national security strategy of 
     the United States.
       (2) This shortfall results from the slow phase-out of C-141 
     aircraft and their replacement with C-17 aircraft and from 
     lower than optimal reliability rates for the C-5 aircraft.
       (3) One of the primary causes of these reliability rates 
     for C-5 aircraft, and especially for operational unit 
     aircraft, is the shortage of spare repair parts. Over the 
     past 5 years, this shortage has been particularly evident in 
     the C-5 fleet.
       (4) NMCS (Not Mission Capable for Supply) rates for C-5 
     aircraft have increased significantly in the period between 
     1997 and 1999. At Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, an average 
     of 7 through 9 C-5 aircraft were not available during that 
     period because of a lack of parts.
       (5) Average rates of cannibalization of C-5 aircraft per 
     100 sorties of such aircraft have also increased during that 
     period and are well above the Air Mobility Command standard. 
     In any given month, this means devoting additional manhours 
     to cannibalizations of C-5 aircraft. At Dover Air Force Base, 
     an average of 800 to 1,000 additional manhours were required 
     for cannibalizations of C-5 aircraft during that period. 
     Cannibalizations are often required for aircraft that transit 
     through a base such as Dover Air Force Base, as well as those 
     that are based there.
       (6) High cannibalization rates indicate a significant 
     problem in delivering spare parts in a timely manner and 
     systemic problems within the repair and maintenance process, 
     and also demoralize overworked maintenance crews.
       (7) The C-5 aircraft remains an absolutely critical asset 
     in air mobility and airlifting heavy equipment and personnel 
     to both military contingencies and humanitarian relief 
     efforts around the world.
       (8) Despite increased funding for spare and repair parts 
     and other efforts by the Air Force to mitigate the parts 
     shortage problem, Congress continues to receive reports of 
     significant cannibalizations to airworthy C-5 aircraft and 
     parts backlogs.
       (b) Reports.--Not later than January 1, 2001, and September 
     30, 2001, the Secretary of the Air Force shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the overall 
     status of the spare and repair parts program of the Air Force 
     for the C-5 aircraft. The report shall include the 
     following--
       (1) a statement the funds currently allocated to parts for 
     the C-5 aircraft and the adequacy of such funds to meet 
     current and future parts and maintenance requirements for 
     that aircraft;
       (2) a description of current efforts to address shortfalls 
     in parts for such aircraft, including an assessment of 
     potential short-term and long-term effects of such efforts;
       (3) an assessment of the effects of such shortfalls on 
     readiness and reliability ratings for C-5 aircraft;
       (4) a description of cannibalization rates for C-5 aircraft 
     and the manhours devoted to cannibalizations of such 
     aircraft; and
       (5) an assessment of the effects of parts shortfalls and 
     cannibalizations with respect to C-5 aircraft on readiness 
     and retention.
                                 ______
