JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO ACCOMPANY THE NATIONAL DEFENSE
AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014
The following consists of the explanatory material to
accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2014.
Section 4 of the Act specifies that this explanatory
statement shall have the same effect with respect to the
implementation of this legislation as if it were a joint
explanatory statement of a committee of conference.
In this joint explanatory statement, the provisions of H.R.
1960, the House-passed version of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, are generally
referred to as ``the House bill.'' The provisions of S. 1197,
the Senate Committee on Armed Services committee-reported
version of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2014, are generally referred to as ``the Senate
committee-reported bill.'' The final form of the agreements
reached during negotiations between the House and the Senate
are referred to as ``the agreement.''
Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and
Senate regarding earmarks and congressionally directed
spending items
Consistent with the intent of clause 9 of rule XXI of the
Rules of the House of Representatives and Rule XLIV of the
Standing Rules of the Senate, neither the bill nor the
accompanying joint explanatory statement contains any
congressional earmarks, congressionally directed spending
items, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits, as
defined in such rules.
Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget
implication
The administration's budget request for national defense
discretionary programs within the jurisdiction of the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives for fiscal year 2014 was $625.2 billion. Of
this amount, $526.6 billion was requested for base Department
of Defense (DOD) programs, $80.7 billion was requested for
overseas contingency operations (OCO), and $17.9 billion was
requested for national security programs in the Department of
Energy (DOE) and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
(DNFSB).
The bill authorizes $625.1 billion in fiscal year 2014,
including $526.8 billion for base DOD programs, $80.7 billion
for OCO, and $17.6 billion for national security programs in
the DOE and the DNFSB.
The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments
in Division D of this Joint Explanatory Statement summarize
the direct discretionary authorizations in the agreement and
the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2014
defense programs. The first table summarizes the agreement on
authorizations within the jurisdiction of the Armed Services
Committees. The second table details the budget authority
implication of the discretionary authorizations in the
agreement when accounting for national defense items that are
not in the jurisdiction of the Armed Services Committees.

provide incentives for each contractor to meet the portion of
the cost of the ship for which the contractor is responsible.
Repeal of requirements relating to procurement of future
surface combatants (sec. 122)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 123) that would repeal a reporting requirement in
section 125 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84). The report submitted by
the Secretary of the Navy to Congress of February 2010
provided the Department of the Navy's implementation plan to
complete these reports.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Multiyear procurement authority for E-2D aircraft program
(sec. 123)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to buy E-2D aircraft and
E-2D mission equipment under one or more multiyear
procurement contracts.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 121) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to
buy E-2D aircraft under one or more multiyear procurement
contracts.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Limitation on availability of funds for Littoral Combat Ship
(sec. 124)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 125) that would require that the Chief of Naval
Operations (CNO), in coordination with the Director of
Operational Test and Evaluation, to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees on the current concept of
operations and expected survivability attributes of each of
the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) sea frames when they would be
employed according to the concept of operations.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would fence funding for LCS-25 and LCS-26
until:
(1) The Navy provides certain reports about the LCS
program; and
(2) The Joint Requirements Oversight Council makes certain
certifications about the LCS program.
Subtitle D--Air Force Programs
Repeal of requirement for maintenance of certain retired KC-
135E aircraft (sec. 131)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 133) that would repeal section 135(b) of the John
Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2007 (Public Law 109-364). Section 135(b) requires that the
Secretary of the Air Force maintain at least 74 of the KC-
135E aircraft retired after September 30, 2006 in a condition
that would allow recall of the aircraft to future service in
the Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, or active forces
aerial refueling force structure.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House bill, however, contained a provision (sec. 133)
that would require that the Secretary of the Air Force
maintain any retired KC-135R aircraft in a condition that
would allow recall of the aircraft to future service in the
Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, or active forces
aerial refueling force structure.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical/clarifying amendment.
Multiyear procurement authority for C-130J aircraft (sec.
132)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 131) that would
authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to enter into one or
more multiyear contracts to procure multiple variants of the
C-130J aircraft.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 151) that would allow the Secretary of the
Air Force to enter into one or more multiyear contracts to
procure C-130J aircraft.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Prohibition on cancellation or modification of avionics
modernization program for C-130 aircraft (sec. 133)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 132) that would
prohibit the Secretary of the Air Force from terminating the
legacy C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP). The House
report accompanying H.R. 1960 (H. Rept. 113-102) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
recommended an increase of $47.3 million in Aircraft
Procurement, Air Force (APAF), to fund modifications of
legacy C-130 with the original AMP upgrade.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision. The Senate report accompanying S. 1197 (S. Rept.
113-44) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2014 recommended an increase of $47.3 million in APAF to
fund modifications of legacy C-130 with either: (1) the
original AMP upgrade; or (2) an alternative program that
would upgrade and modernize the legacy C-130 airlift fleet
using a reduced scope program for avionics and mission
planning systems.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would add a requirement that the Comptroller
General conduct a sufficiency review of the cost-
benefit analysis conducted under section 143(b) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239), including any findings and
recommendations relating to such review. The agreement
also recommends an increase of $47.3 million for Research,
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force, in PE 41115F
for C-130 Airlift Squadrons, pending completion of that
sufficiency review. This is in lieu of a recommendation
for additional procurement funding in fiscal year 2014,
since procurement funding for modernizing C-130 avionics
would be premature.
Prohibition of procurement of unnecessary C-27J aircraft by
the Air Force (sec. 134)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 134) that would prevent the Secretary of the Air Force
from obligating or expending any funds for the procurement of
C-27J aircraft not on contract as of June 1, 2013.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the provision with an amendment that
would narrow the prohibition to the use of funds authorized
in fiscal year 2012, since all C-27J funds except the fiscal
year 2012 funds have been obligated or transferred to other
programs.
Subtitle E--Defense-Wide, Joint, and Multiservice Matters
Personal protection equipment procurement (sec. 141)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that within each
military service procurement account, a separate procurement
budget line item is designated for personal protection
equipment (PPE) investment and funding transparency.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with an amendment
that would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit with the
annual budget request a consolidated budget display that
describes and justifies all programs and activities, in the
appropriations accounts for operation and maintenance as well
as research, development, test, and evaluation, associated
with the development and procurement of PPE.
After 12 years of war and billions of dollars spent to
develop, produce, and field the best
[[Page H7896]]
available individual PPE, such as body armor and helmets, the
Department of Defense should not lose momentum in its search
for better protection at lower weight and cost for individual
soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors. One of the most
important lessons of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is that
research, development, and acquisition (RDA) of improved
ballistic protection for our troops must anticipate, not
react, to likely threats. In this regard, budget visibility
must be sufficient to allow for comprehensive oversight of
the Department's RDA efforts as reflected in the annual
budget request accompanied by spending estimates projected
over the subsequent 5 years. Subject to the completeness and
usefulness of the information provided in the budget exhibits
that would be required by this provision, Congress may
consider other budgetary methods for ensuring the
Department's investments over time sustain the importance of
and momentum for achieving technological improvements in PPE
into the future.
We also note that the Department categorizes PPE, including
body armor, as an ``expendable'' item consistent with current
acquisition and financial management policy definitions.
Nonetheless, given the military's experiences during
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the significant RDA
investment for body armor, and the fact that body armor is
now an essential part of individual combat equipment, one
could question whether the categorization of PPE, and body
armor in particular, should change from ``expendable'' to
another category that could improve resource stability and
provide for better management throughout the RDA process.
Accordingly, the Secretary of Defense is encouraged to
reassess the Department's categorization of PPE and body
armor as ``expendable'' items.
Repeal of certain F-35 reporting requirements (sec. 142)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 145) that would
amend section 122 of the Ike Skelton National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383)
to eliminate the requirement to provide an annual update to
the F-35 system maturity matrix.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Limitation on availability of funds for retirement of RQ-4
Global Hawk unmanned aircraft systems and A-10 aircraft
(sec. 143)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 143) that would
limit the use of funds to retire Global Hawk Block 30
unmanned aircraft systems and would require the Secretary of
the Air Force to take all actions necessary to maintain the
operational capability of the RQ-4 Block 30 Global Hawk
through December 31, 2016.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would: (1) Prohibit spending funds authorized
to be appropriated or otherwise made available during fiscal
year 2014 to retire Global Hawk Block 30 unmanned aircraft
systems or A-10 aircraft (except for A-10s planned for
retirement on or before April 9, 2013); (2) Modify the
prohibited spending to include making significant changes to
Global Hawk and A-10 manning levels during fiscal year 2014;
(3) Prohibit the Secretary of the Air Force from retiring or
planning to retire A-10 aircraft (except for A-10s planned
for retirement on or before April 9, 2013) between October 1,
2014 and December 31, 2014; and (4) Add a requirement that
the Secretary of Defense provide a report on all high-
altitude intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
systems that the Department of Defense is operating or plans
to operate in the future.
We intend that the prohibition on making additional A-10
aircraft retirements before December 31, 2014, be to provide
breathing space for Congress to conduct oversight and to
consider what actions to take on any force structure changes
the Air Force may propose in fiscal year 2015.
MC-12 Liberty Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
aircraft (sec. 144)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 934) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
develop and carry out a plan for the transfer of Air Force
MC-12 aircraft to the Army. The provision would also prohibit
the Army from acquiring the Enhanced Medium Altitude
Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) in fiscal
year 2014.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that directs the Secretary of Defense to develop a
plan for the potential transfer of MC-12 Liberty aircraft
from the Air Force to the Army. In addition, the provision
prohibits the Army from using fiscal year 2014 funds to
procure additional aircraft under the EMARSS program, but
does allow the Army to use fiscal year 2014 funds to complete
conversion efforts of existing aircraft that have already
been procured, and to convert transferred Liberty aircraft to
the EMARSS configuration.
Competition for evolved expendable launch vehicle providers
(sec. 145)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 134) that would
require the Secretary of the Air Force to develop and
implement a plan to ensure the fair evaluation of competing
contractors in awarding a contract to a certified evolved
expendable launch vehicle provider. This plan would include
descriptions of how the following areas would be addressed in
the evaluation: the proposed cost, schedule, and performance;
mission assurance activities; the manner in which the
contractor will operate under the Federal Acquisition
Regulation; the effect of other contracts in which the
contractor is entered into with the Federal Government, such
as the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) launch
capability and the space station commercial resupply services
contracts; and any other areas determined appropriate by the
Secretary.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that requires the plan at the same time that the
Secretary issues a draft request for proposals for a contract
on the EELV with respect to how the Secretary will conduct
competition in awarding the contract in addition to the
specific areas listed in the original House bill.
We note that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is
conducting ongoing work regarding the EELV competition. We
request that GAO conduct a review of the Air Force EELV
acquisition strategy, which should include an assessment of
the methodology, potential challenges, gaps, and acquisition
planning process of the Air Force for evaluating competitors,
and that GAO brief the defense and intelligence committees on
its review. We request that this briefing be provided before
a draft request for proposal is released by the Air Force.
This legislative provision should not be construed as
direction regarding ongoing procurement or any aspect of
source selection criteria.
Reports on personal protection equipment and health and
safety risks associated with ejection seats (sec. 146)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 146) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract
with a federally-funded research and development center
(FFRDC) to conduct a study to identify and assess alternative
and effective means for stimulating competition and
innovation in the personal protection equipment industrial
base.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with an amendment
that would also require the Secretary of the Air Force to
conduct a study to assess the safety of ejection seats
currently in operational use by the Air Force.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Modification of requirements to sustain Navy airborne
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
capabilities
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 124) that would amend section 112 of the Ike Skelton
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011
(Public Law 111-383) to require the Secretary of the Navy to
maintain sufficient numbers of EP-3 Airborne Reconnaissance
Integrated Electronic System II (ARIES II) Spiral 3 aircraft
and Special Projects Aircraft (SPA) version P909 to support
the wartime operational plans of U.S. Pacific Command
(PACOM), and to maintain the capacity to support five EP-3s
for allocation to the combatant commands under the Global
Force Management Allocation Plan (GFMAP), until the Navy's
multi-intelligence (Multi-INT) Broad Area Maritime
Surveillance (BAMS) System TRITON aircraft with signals
intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities reaches initial
operational capability (IOC). The provision also would
require the Secretary to upgrade the final (12th) EP-3 ARIES
II aircraft to the Spiral 3 configuration, and to correct
electronic intelligence (ELINT) obsolescence problems on both
the EP-3 and the SPA aircraft. Finally, the provision would
require the Chairman of the Joint Requirements Oversight
Council (JROC) to coordinate with the Commanders of PACOM and
the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to determine
requirements for the special capabilities provided by the SPA
aircraft, and would require the Secretary to sustain
sufficient numbers of SPA aircraft to meet those requirements
until the Navy achieves IOC of a system with capabilities
greater than or equal to the SPA.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Section 112 of Public Law 111-383 is intended to prevent a
capacity decline in capabilities as the Navy developed
replacements for the EP-3 and the SPA intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems. The Navy
budget request, which is counter to congressional intent,
creates a plan for transitioning from the EP-3/SPA systems to
the TRITON Multi-INT and P-8 Quick Reaction Capability (QRC)
that would result in a capacity decline beginning in fiscal
year 2015.
The Navy also informed Congress that the JROC supports the
Navy's transition plan, but in fact the JROC Memorandum
(JROCM) on this issue expresses concern about the Navy's plan
and requires numerous follow-up actions. In addition, the
JROCM instructs the Navy to develop requirements for the
Multi-INT TRITON prior to the program's next acquisition
milestone review. Congressional review of the TRITON
Capabilities Development Document confirms that a robust
[[Page H7897]]
SIGNIT capability is documented only as a ``potential future
capability,'' and not a validated requirement as implied by
Navy officials to Congress.
The Navy also proposes to prematurely remove highly-skilled
personnel from the EP-3/SPA programs, resulting in a
reduction of the number of available aircraft to support
GFMAP and wartime requirements. Congress is concerned that
harvesting these personnel to support an early version of
TRITON that provides only optical and radar sensing, but
little or no SIGINT capability, does not maximize utilization
of highly-skilled personnel with perishable skill sets.
Furthermore, the lack of a validated requirement for a robust
SIGINT capability for TRITON raises concerns that the
capacity and capability decline will turn out to be a
permanent ISR capability loss.
We have serious concerns about the Navy's non-compliant EP-
3/SPA to P-8 QRC/TRITON Multi-INT transition plan. Therefore,
we direct that:
(1) The JROC review and report to Congress the combatant
commander requirements for the simultaneous ISR collection
capability provided by EP-3/SPA assets under current
Operational Plans and for the GFMAP;
(2) The Joint Staff and the Under Secretary of Defense for
Intelligence (USDI) identify and report to Congress
alternative EP-3/SPA to P-8 QRC/TRITON Multi-INT transition
options that do not result in a capacity decline or
capability gap, including such options as using Navy reserve
personnel to stand up the baseline TRITON system;
(3) The JROC collaborate with the Navy to develop and
document a formal requirement for TRITON Multi-INT;
(4) The USDI develop, and report to Congress, a mitigation
plan to address the ELINT obsolescence issues identified in
the Senate report accompanying S. 1197 (S. Rept. 113-44) of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014;
and,
(5) The JROC and USDI to determine, and report to Congress,
the force structure quantity and type of federated ISR
systems and sensors required to wholly replace the EP-3/SPA
force structure of aircraft to meet or exceed the current
capacity and diversity of ISR collection capability
inherently resident on the EP-3/SPA aircraft.
Multiyear procurement authority for Ground-Based Interceptors
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that would
provide multi-year procurement authority and advance
procurement authority to the Director of the Missile Defense
Agency for the procurement of 14 Ground-Based Interceptors.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Sense of Senate on the United States helicopter industrial
base
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 152) that would express the sense of Senate on the
health of the helicopter industrial base.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
TITLE II--RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION
Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations
Authorization of appropriations (sec. 201)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 201) authorizing
appropriations for fiscal year 2014 for the use of the
Department of Defense for research, development, test, and
evaluation as specified in the funding table in section 4201.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 201).
The agreement includes this provision.
Subtitle B--Program Requirements, Restrictions, and Limitations
Modification of requirements on biennial strategic plan for
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (sec. 211)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 212) that would modify the biennial strategic
plan requirement for the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) to make more explicit the linkages
between the strategic objections of the agency with the
missions of the armed forces. Additionally, the provision
would reassign responsibility for submission of the plan
from the Secretary of Defense to the Director of DARPA, in
coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
We recognize the value that DARPA brings to the Department
of Defense, especially in terms of high risk research that
can be potentially game changing. We believe that such
research has the highest probability of successful transition
when it is linked early with the operational defense
community.
For example, DARPA's Phoenix program has the potential to
change radically how the United States approaches space
systems development and servicing. As the only program
looking at satellite servicing and advanced robotics for
geosynchronous earth orbit systems, this program has
significant national security, civil, and as well as,
commercial potential. However, we note that the development
of such capabilities may raise complex policy issues, as well
as pose as a disruptive technology to established approaches
and operations. We encourage DARPA to not only continue its
technical leadership in this field, but to also work with
other entities in the Department of Defense--such as the Air
Force, the National Reconnaissance Office, and the Under
Secretaries of Defense for Policy and Intelligence--to ensure
the development of operational concepts for this capability.
Limitation on availability of funds for ground combat vehicle
engineering and manufacturing phase (sec. 212)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 211) that would
prohibit the Army from obligating post-Milestone B funds for
the Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) program until the Secretary
of the Army submits a report to the congressional defense
committees.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with technical and
clarifying amendments.
Additionally, the Comptroller General of the United States
is directed to submit to the congressional defense committees
a report setting forth an assessment by the Comptroller
General of the study of the Army on the Bradley Fighting
Vehicle industrial base submitted to Congress pursuant to the
Conference Report to accompany H.R. 4310 (112th Congress),
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(House Report 112-705). The report required shall include an
assessment of the reasonableness of the study's methods
including, but not limited to, the sufficiency, validity, and
reliability of the data used to conduct the study, and
include findings and recommendations, if any, on the combat
vehicle industrial base. In conducting this review the
Comptroller General should not replicate the Army study.
Limitation and reporting requirements for unmanned carrier-
launched surveillance and strike system program (sec.
213)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 212) that would
prohibit the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics from approving a Milestone A
technology development contract award for the Unmanned
Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS)
program until 30 days after the Under Secretary certifies to
the congressional defense committees that the software and
system engineering designs for the control system and
connectivity segment and the aircraft carrier segment of the
UCLASS system can achieve, at a low level of integration
risk, successful compatibility and operability with the air
vehicle segment planned for selection at Milestone A contract
award.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would modify the language to require that: (1)
The Navy to limit the number of air vehicle segments acquired
prior to receiving Milestone B approval for UCLASS; (2) The
Navy provide periodic reports on cost, schedule and
requirements changes for UCLASS; and (3) The Comptroller
General conduct annual reviews of the UCLASS program.
Limitation on availability of funds for Air Force logistics
transformation (sec. 214)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 213) that would
restrict the obligation and expenditure of Air Force
procurement and research, development, test, and evaluation
funds for logistics information technology programs until 30
days after the date on which the Secretary of the Air Force
submits to the congressional defense committees a report on
the modernization and update of Air Force logistics
information technology systems following the cancellation of
the expeditionary combat support system.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
Limitation on availability of funds for defensive cyberspace
operations of the Air Force (sec. 215)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would
limit the funds the Air Force may obligate or expend for
Defensive Cyberspace Operations in PE 0202088F to not more
than 90 percent until a period of 30 days after the date on
which the Secretary of the Air Force submits a report to the
congressional defense committees detailing the Air Force's
plan for sustainment of the Application Software Assurance

clarifying amendment.
[[Page H7898]]
Long-range standoff weapon requirement; prohibition on
availability of funds for noncompetitive procedures for
offensive anti-surface warfare weapon contracts of the
Navy (sec. 217)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 218) that would
require the Secretary of the Air Force to develop a follow-on
air-launched cruise missile, Long Range Stand Off (LRSO)
weapon to the AGM-86 that achieves initial operating
capability for both conventional and nuclear missions by not
later than 2030 and is certified for internal carriage and
employment for both conventional and nuclear missions on the
next-generation long-range strike bomber by not later than
2034.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that requires the LRSO to achieve initial operating
capability for conventional missions prior to the retirement
of the AGM-86, for nuclear missions prior to the retirement
of the nuclear armed AGM-86 and is capable of internal
carriage and employment for both missions in the long-range
strike bomber. The amendment provides that the Secretary may
carry out the consecutive development of the nuclear and
conventional capabilities, with the nuclear capability first,
if it is determined to be cost effective.
The amendment further includes a provision that would
prohibit, during fiscal year 2014, using available funds to
contract for Navy offensive anti-surface warfare weapons
using other than through competitive procedures. Development,
testing, and fielding of aircraft-launched offensive anti-
surface warfare weapons would be exempted from that
prohibition. Included in the provision is a waiver of the
prohibition by the Secretary of Defense if the Secretary
determines that waiving this prohibition is in the national
security interests of the United States.
Review of software development for F-35 aircraft (sec. 218)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 219) that would
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) to establish an
independent team consisting of subject matter experts to
review the development of software for the F-35 aircraft
program and to report on the results of that review.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the USD(AT&L) to provide a plan
for the sustainment of the Autonomic Logistics Information
System for the F-35 aircraft.
Evaluation and assessment of the distributed common ground
system (sec. 219)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 220) that would
require that: (1) Beginning with the budget request for
fiscal year 2015, future budget submissions include separate
project codes for each capability component within each
program element for each service version of the Distributed
Common Ground System (DCGS); (2) The Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics
(USD(AT&L)) conduct an analysis of commercial link analysis
tools that could be used to meet the requirements of each of
the service versions of the DCGS; and (3) If one or more
commercial link analysis tools were found to meet the
requirements of the program, the responsible service
secretary would be required to initiate a request for
proposals to purchase those tools.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would include the requirement that: (1) The
services' budget submissions include separate project codes
for each capability component within each program element for
each service version of the DCGS; and (2) The USD(AT&L)
conduct an analysis of capability components of DCGS that are
compliant with the intelligence community data standards and
could be used to meet the requirements of the DCGS program.
The provision would require the USD(AT&L) to submit a report
of that analysis within 180 days of enactment of this Act. We
expect that the USD(AT&L) will adjust the acquisition plans
for DCGS if his analysis of the competitive acquisition
options for capability components within DCGS shows that
expanded competition shows promise.
Operationally responsive space (sec. 220)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 225) that would
prohibit expending more than 50 percent of the funds
authorized or expended for the space-based infrared system
modernization initiative wide field of view test bed until
the Executive Agent for Space certifies to the congressional
defense committees that the Secretary of Defense is carrying
out the Operationally Responsive Space program office in
accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2273a.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes an amendment requiring a report no
later than 60 days from the date of enactment regarding a
potential mission that would seek to leverage all the policy
objectives of the Operationally Responsive Space Program in a
single mission.
Sustainment or replacement of Blue Devil intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities (sec. 221)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 216) that would require the Secretary of the Air Force
to procure the currently deployed Blue Devil intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system or to develop a
plan to replace that system with a comparable or improved
system.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of the Air Force
to develop a plan to sustain the operational capabilities of
the Blue Devil I ISR Systems, including precision signal
geolocation, by procuring the existing Blue Devil I aircraft,
developing a new system, or adapting and integrating
capabilities from existing and development programs. The
Secretary is required to submit a report that addresses the
cost of procuring, operating, and sustaining Blue Devil I
aircraft system; the ability of other platforms to provide
similar intelligence capabilities; and a listing of related
U.S. Air Force and Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency
(DARPA) programs. The report should be coordinated with the
Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command and the Director
of DARPA.
We agree that the necessary capability to sustain is both
wide-area motion imagery combined with precision signal
geolocation. The integration of these two capabilities
provides significant operational utility.
Subtitle C--Missile Defense Programs
Improvements to acquisition accountability reports on
ballistic missile defense system (sec. 231)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 234) that would
require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to
make certain improvements to the cost estimates included in
its annual acquisition accountability reports on the
ballistic missile defense system (BMDS), and to provide a
report on the plans and schedule for making such
improvements.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would clarify that
each cost estimate shall include all of the operation and
sustainment (O&S) costs for which the Director is
responsible, and also include a summary description of the
O&S functions and costs for which the military departments
are responsible, consistent with the Deputy Secretary of
Defense Memorandum of June 10, 2011, on funding
responsibilities for BMDS elements.
We note that, although the MDA is required to provide life-
cycle cost estimates of its acquisition programs--including
O&S costs--it does not include in those cost estimates the
O&S costs for which the military departments that own and
operate elements of the BMDS are responsible. As the
Government Accountability Office has noted, this makes it
difficult to understand the comprehensive life-cycle costs
of BMDS elements. Therefore, we direct the Director of the
MDA to work with the military departments that own or
operate elements of the BMDS to make a recommendation for
how those functions and related costs should be reported
in either future annual BMDS Accountability Reports or
other similar reports to Congress, including annual budget
submission justification materials. We believe that the
military departments should provide to the congressional
defense committees the life-cycle cost estimates for the
O&S functions of the BMDS elements for which they are
responsible, and urge them to do so as soon as possible.
Furthermore, we expect the Director of the MDA to take
steps to ensure that the cost estimate improvements required
by the provision are made in a manner as consistent as
practicable with the guidance issued pursuant to section 832
of Public Law 112-81, relative to O&S costs, and with the
guidance issued pursuant to section 2334(d) of title 10,
United States Code, relative to confidence levels of baseline
cost estimates.
Prohibition on use of funds for MEADS program (sec. 232)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 231) that would
prohibit the obligation or expenditure of fiscal year 2014
funds for the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS), and
would also place conditions on the harvesting of MEADS
technology.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 236) that would prohibit the use of fiscal
year 2014 funds for MEADS.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
We note that the Department of Defense has invested more
than $2.5 billion in the development of MEADS technology, and
has a substantial interest in making constructive use of any
MEADS data and technology owned by the United States. We
direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days
after the enactment of this Act, providing: (1) An
explanation of who owns the technology and data developed
under the tri-national MEADS development program; (2) How the
Secretary intends to ensure that the Department gets the
maximum benefit from the U.S. investment in MEADS, including
by making such technology and data appropriately available
for ``technology harvesting'' for improvements to the
Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) system program of
record, taking into account the report required by House
[[Page H7899]]
Report 113-102, ``Technology harvesting of the Medium
Extended Air Defense System''; and (3) U.S. policy regarding
3rd Party Sales of such technology, which we believe could be
of benefit to the United States and its allies.
Prohibition on availability of funds for integration of
certain missile defense systems; report on regional
ballistic missile defense (sec. 233)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 232) that would express the sense of Congress regarding
regional ballistic missile defenses and would require the
Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense
committees a report on the status and progress of regional
missile defense programs and efforts.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would clarify the elements of the required
report. It would also include a prohibition on the use of
fiscal year 2014 funds to integrate missile defense systems
of the People's Republic of China into U.S. missile defense
systems.
We are concerned that the Government of Turkey made an
initial decision to purchase a Chinese air and missile
defense system for its territorial use. Such a system would
not be compatible with, and should not be integrated with,
missile defense systems of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
We direct that, not later than 60 days after submission of
the report required by the provision, the Government
Accountability Office shall provide a briefing to the
congressional defense committees providing its views on the
report.
We further direct that, not later than 90 days after the
enactment of this Act, the Joint Staff and Joint Force
Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense (JFCC-IMD)
shall provide a briefing to the congressional defense
committees with respect to any significant changes in the
regional missile defense environment since the April 2011
Joint Capability Mix (JCM) III Study was completed, and
whether and how the study could be updated to provide useful
insights for future force structure levels and employment
plans. The briefing should be based on updated intelligence
information, updated missile defense systems efficacy and
reliability information, and current and planned future
budget levels, and any other matters the Joint Staff and
JFCC-IMD consider useful.
Availability of funds for co-production of Iron Dome short-
range rocket defense system in the United States (sec.
234)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 237) that would
authorize $15.0 million to enhance the capability for
producing the Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system in
the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would authorize up
to $15.0 million for non-recurring engineering costs
associated with establishing the capacity for United States
industry to produce parts and components of the Iron Dome
system in the United States, subject to an agreement between
the United States and Israel for co-production of Iron Dome
parts and components. The provision would also require the
Director of the Missile Defense Agency to submit a report to
Congress on the plan to implement such agreement, including
the estimated costs, schedule, and steps to minimize costs to
the government of the United States to implement the
agreement. The provision would also clarify that it is not
intended to alter the planned Iron Dome procurement schedule
or numbers, and would express the sense of Congress on the
importance of a second production source in the United
States. The provision would also require the Secretary of
Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees a
report on the status of missile defense cooperation between
the United States and Israel.
We believe it is important for industry to pay for a
substantial share of the cost of establishing a co-production
capacity in the United States. Further, we direct that the
Missile Defense Agency not use funds from other programs of
record to pay for establishing an Iron Dome production
capacity in the United States.
Additional missile defense radar for the protection of the
United States homeland (sec. 235)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 234) that would require the Missile Defense Agency to
deploy an additional missile defense radar for homeland
missile defense, and would authorize $30.0 million for
initial costs toward such deployment.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
Missile Defense Agency to deploy a missile defense radar at a
location optimized to support defense of the homeland against
long-range missile threats from North Korea, and would
authorize $30.0 million for initial costs toward such
deployment. The provision would also require the Secretary of
Defense to ensure that the United States is able to deploy
additional tracking and discrimination sensor capabilities to
support defense of the United States from future long-range
ballistic missile threats that emerge from Iran. The
provision would require the Secretary to submit a report on
what sensor capabilities will be available for deployment on
the Atlantic side of the United States by 2019, or sooner if
Iran flight tests long-range missiles before then, and the
manner in which such capabilities will be maintained to
ensure they can be deployed in time to support the missile
defense of the United States from long-range ballistic
missile threats from Iran. We note that the sea-based X-band
radar platform and the Cobra Judy ship-based radar platform
could serve as interim or surge sensor capabilities in the
Atlantic region to support homeland defense against future
long-range missile threats that emerge from Iran.
The agreement also authorizes an additional $50.0 million
for the Missile Defense Agency to develop enhanced
discrimination capability for the Ballistic Missile Defense
System, as reflected in the tables in section 4201. The
Missile Defense Agency and the missile defense operational
community have identified such discrimination enhancement as
a priority for improving the future effectiveness of missile
defenses, particularly for homeland missile defense.
Evaluation of options for future ballistic missile defense
sensor architectures (sec. 236)
The Senate committee-reported bill included a provision
(sec. 235) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
evaluate options for future ballistic missile defense sensor
architectures and to report to the congressional defense
committees the results of the evaluation.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would include consideration of options for
maximizing the use of various sensors for missile defense and
for other missions.
Plans to improve the ground-based midcourse defense system
(sec. 237)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 236) that would
require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency and the
Commander of the U.S. Northern Command to develop options and
a plan to improve the kill assessment capability and the hit
assessment capability of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense
(GMD) system, and to submit a report on the development of
such capabilities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would also require the Director of the Missile
Defense Agency to submit a plan for the use of fiscal years
2013 and 2014 funds to develop, test, and deploy an upgraded
enhanced exo-atmospheric kill vehicle for the GMD system.
If the report required by the provision is not submitted by
April 1, 2014, we direct the Department of Defense to provide
a briefing to the congressional defense committees on the
subject matter required in the report not later than April 1,
2014.
The agreement authorizes $100.0 million for design and
development of common kill vehicle technology for an upgraded
enhanced exo-atmospheric kill vehicle for the GMD system, an
increase of $30.0 million above the budget request, to
accelerate design and development efforts, as reflected in
the tables in section 4201.
Report on potential future homeland ballistic missile defense
options (sec. 238)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 231) that would express the sense of Congress
concerning the importance of homeland ballistic missile
defense against the threat of limited ballistic missile
attack from North Korea and Iran, and would require the
Secretary of Defense to submit a report on potential future
options for enhancing homeland ballistic missile defense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision requiring the
report, with a clarifying amendment.
The agreement authorizes an additional $80.0 million for
the Missile Defense Agency to continue efforts to understand
the cause of the problem that resulted in the Ground-based
Midcourse Defense system flight test failure on July 5, 2013,
using the Capability Enhancement-I (CE-I) kill vehicle, and
take the necessary steps to correct the problem and
demonstrate the correction in an intercept flight test.
The CE-I flight test failure occurred after the budget was
submitted, and no funds were planned or budgeted to analyze
and correct the problem, or to conduct another intercept
flight test to demonstrate the correction of the problem. The
Missile Defense Agency has stated that its highest priority
is correcting the problems associated with the flight test
failures of the CE-II and CE-I kill vehicles, and
demonstrating the successful corrections through additional
intercept flight tests.
We direct that, not later than 60 days after the submission
of the report required by the provision, the Government
Accountability Office provide a briefing to the congressional
defense committees providing its views on the report.
Briefings on status of implementation of certain missile
defense matters (sec. 239)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 232) that would
require the Missile Defense Agency to construct and make
operational in fiscal year 2018 an additional homeland
missile defense site, designed to complement the existing
sites in Alaska and California, to deal more effectively with
missile threats from the Middle East.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
Secretary of Defense to
[[Page H7900]]
provide, not later than 180 days after the completion of the
site evaluation study required by section 227(a) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239), and 1 year later, a briefing to the
congressional defense committees on the status of current
efforts and plans to implement the requirements of section
227, including progress and plans toward preparation of the
Environmental Impact Statement required by section 227(b),
and the development of the contingency plan for the
deployment of an additional homeland missile defense
interceptor site, in case the President determines to proceed
with such an additional deployment, as required by section
227(d).
The agreement authorizes an additional $20.0 million for
the Missile Defense Agency to continue activities relative to
the site evaluation study, the Environmental Impact
Statement, and planning activities consistent with the
requirements of section 227(d) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, including the
development of the contingency plan for the deployment of an
additional homeland missile defense interceptor site. Such
planning activities should include efforts to update the
relevant planning documents from the deployment of missile
fields at Fort Greely, Alaska, and plans for the possible
deployment of a ground-based-interceptor site in Europe, to
prepare for the potential deployment of an additional missile
defense site in the continental United States, as well as
such other preliminary planning activities as can practicably
be commenced prior to site selection, or updated upon site
selection.
Sense of Congress and report on NATO and missile defense
burden-sharing (sec. 240)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 238) that would
require the President to seek specific levels of funding from
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for various
phases of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) to
missile defense.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would express the
sense of Congress concerning the increasing importance of
burden-sharing among the NATO allies for missile defense, and
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees providing: (1) The
estimated costs for the EPAA; (2) A description of the level
of NATO burden-sharing for the costs of NATO missile defense,
including the EPAA; and (3) An assessment of, and
recommendations for, areas where the Secretary believes NATO
and its members could make additional burden-sharing
contributions to NATO missile defense, including the EPAA.
We note that, as declared at the 2010 Lisbon Summit, the
United States and its NATO allies share a strong interest in
developing and deploying an operationally-effective and cost-
effective missile defense capability to defend the territory,
population, and military forces of NATO--including forward
deployed United States forces--in Europe. The United States
and its NATO partners are making a variety of contributions,
both individually and collectively, to NATO missile defense,
including through national contributions, host-nation basing
agreements, and collective funding arrangements. The United
States is contributing to the EPAA as its national
contribution to NATO missile defense, and a number of NATO
allies are providing important support for the EPAA, as well
as other support for NATO missile defense. The cancellation
of Phase 4 of the EPAA eliminated the contribution that the
EPAA would have made toward augmenting U.S. homeland missile
defenses against potential Iranian intercontinental ballistic
missiles.
We believe that burden-sharing is an important NATO
principle, and is important to the recently adopted NATO
mission of missile defense of NATO territory, population, and
military forces. Therefore, while recognizing the important
support provided by a number of NATO allies for key aspects
of the EPAA, we believe the U.S. Government should encourage
other NATO members to provide additional support for NATO
missile defense, including the EPAA, to ensure an appropriate
level of burden-sharing.
Sense of Congress on deployment of regional ballistic missile
defense capabilities (sec. 241)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 233) that would
limit the use of funds to remove United States missile
defense equipment in East Asia until after certain conditions

express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense
should not procure additional Capability Enhancement II (CE-
II) exo-atmospheric kill vehicles for deployment until after
the date on which a successful operational flight test of the
CE-II has occurred.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Conventional Prompt Global Strike program
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 211) that would prohibit the Department of Defense from
executing any funds for the Conventional Prompt Global Strike
(CPGS) program until 60 days after they deliver a report to
the congressional defense committees addressing the policy
consideration concerning the ambiguity problems regarding the
launch of CPGS missiles from submarine platforms.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We agree that no more than 75 percent of the funds
authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made
available for fiscal year 2014 for the Department of Defense
for research, development, test and evaluation and available
for the Prompt Global Strike Capability Development program
(PE#64165D8Z) for the CPGS program should be obligated or
expended for any activities relating to the development of a
submarine-launched capability under that program until 60
days after the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits
to the congressional defense committees a report that
addresses the policy considerations concerning any potential
ambiguity problems regarding the launch of a conventionally-
armed missile from submarine platforms, potential
verification measures, any target sets the Secretary believes
a submarine-launched conventionally-armed missile could reach
that a missile on board another platform could not reach, the
comparative cost considerations of submarine-launched
conventional missiles and such systems launched by other
platforms.
We also note that in congressional testimony, the
Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, stated that ``[t]oday, the
only prompt global strike capability to engage potentially
time-sensitive, fleeting targets continues to be ballistic
missile systems armed with nuclear weapons. We continue to
require a deployed conventional prompt strike capability to
provide the President a range of flexible military options to
address a small number of highest-value targets, including in
an anti-access and area denial environment.''
Unmanned combat air system demonstration testing requirement
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 217) that would
require the Secretary of the Navy to demonstrate unmanned,
autonomous aerial refueling within the X-47B aircraft testing
and evaluation program. The X-47B is an unmanned aircraft
being tested under the Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS)
demonstration program.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We understand that the Chief of Naval Operations has
decided that, unlike the original Navy plan, the Navy will
continue flying the X-47B during fiscal year 2014, and will
pursue a number of risk reduction activities. We support
these Navy plans for continuing risk reduction activities for
UCAS, and encourage the Navy to consider performing the
aerial refueling demonstration as part of these additional
risk reduction activities.
Requirement to complete individual carbine testing
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 221) that would
require the Department of the Army to complete planned
testing for an individual carbine.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain this provision.
We understand that during the Army's testing of eight
candidate carbines under the individual carbine program that
none of the carbines met the Army's target for improved
reliability requirements. We further understand that these
results may be attributable to the interactions between the
carbines and the recently introduced M855A1 standard 5.56mm
rounds that were used during the test and evaluation. These
test results suggest the Army may have used an
unrealistically high reliability standard.
Accordingly, we urge the Army to re-evaluate the
reliability standard used for this test, as well as other
standards as appropriate. We encourage the Secretary of the
Army to consider a process for continuous test and evaluation
of alternatives to the M4A1 carbine that is based on
realistic operational requirements and with significantly
improved, but reasonably achievable, performance and
reliability. We note that, while the Army may have reduced
needs and limited funds to procure large numbers of new
rifles or carbines in the near future, maintaining research
and development efforts for new small arms in this class is
essential to ensure that the industrial base can respond to
sudden increases in demand as it did during Operation Iraqi
Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. In this regard, the
Secretary of the Army, or designee, is directed to provide
the congressional defense committees a briefing that details
the Army's long range standard rifle and carbine
modernization strategy. This briefing shall be provided not
later than April 1, 2014, and shall include the Army's plans,
including where appropriate, schedules and funding profiles,
for requirements development, technology research and
development, procurement, and test and evaluation of
commercially available and militarily suitable alternatives.
Establishment of funding line and fielding plan for a Navy
laser weapon system
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 222) that would
establish a funding line and fielding plan for a Navy laser
weapon system for fiscal year 2018 and beyond.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We are supportive of accelerating the development and
transition of directed energy weapons to programs of record,
in the Navy as well as the other military departments.
However, we believe that it is premature to create such a
funding line. We also note that many of the current
activities supporting development of directed energy weapons
are already embedded in existing research and development
program elements, and therefore the creation of a
consolidated funding line at this stage could be disruptive
to those efforts and potentially detrimental to overall
efforts to develop and field a militarily-relevant system.
Analysis of alternatives for successor to Precision Tracking
Space System
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 235) that would
require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to perform
an analysis of alternatives for a successor sensor system to
the Precision Tracking Space System.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Sense of Congress on 30th anniversary of the Strategic
Defense Initiative
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 240) that would
express the sense of Congress concerning the 30th anniversary
of the Strategic Defense Initiative.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Sense of Congress on negotiations affecting the missile
defenses of the United States
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 242) that would
express the sense of Congress concerning negotiations with
the Russian Federation that would affect the missile defenses
of the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Report on main battle tank fuel efficiency
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 253) that would
require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees on an investment strategy to
accelerate fuel efficiency improvements to the engine and
transmission of the M1 Abrams tank.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Army and Marine Corps currently have no
plan to replace the M1A2 or M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. We
are also aware that the Army intends to proceed with a series
of engineering change proposals that will incrementally
enhance the platform's capabilities. We believe that the Army
should accelerate the next series of Abrams upgrades where
warranted by capability gaps or opportunities, technological
maturity, and affordability. In this regard, the Army and
Marine Corps should consider replacement of the current
engine with a modern, fuel efficient power train. Therefore,
the Secretary of the Army, in consultation with the Secretary
of the Navy, is directed to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees, not later than June 1,
2014, on a business case analysis and an investment strategy
that could accelerate
[[Page H7902]]
the technology development and engineering change proposal
processes to include a modern fuel efficient engine and
transmission for the M1 Abrams series main battle tank.
Report on powered rail system
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 254) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the
congressional defense committees that comprehensively reviews
and compares powered rail systems for the M4 Carbine system.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
The Secretary of the Army, or designee, is directed to
provide a report to the congressional defense committees not
later than April 1, 2014 on an assessment of the current M4/
M16-mounted battery requirements associated with a 3-day
dismounted mission for an Army infantry platoon compared to
the same unit and mission if the members were equipped with
an integrated weapon-mounted power source. The assessment
should compare the battery requirements, numbers, weight,
costs, as well as the likely impact on the operational
functionality of the M4/M16 configured with an integrated
power source, including weapons system effectiveness,
efficiency, ergonomics, maintainability, reliability, and
related risk. The assessment should also include a business
case analysis of the potential acquisition and sustainment
costs and savings associated with transitioning to an
integrated M4/M16-mounted power technology to replace
batteries for individual weapon-mounted components. Finally,
the assessment should address the potential utility, if any,
of incorporating a data link via such a weapon-mounted power
source between soldier communications systems and soldier and
weapon sensors. The Director, Operational Test and Evaluation
is also directed to oversee the Army's live fire or other
operational testing, if any, conducted as part of gathering
data for this report.
Report on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
scholarship program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 255) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to assess whether the
Department of Defense Science, Mathematics and Research for
Transformation (SMART) scholarship program, or similar
programs, could meet the undergraduate and graduate science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce
needs of the intelligence community (IC).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
We note that the national security community, in general,
faces growing challenges with meeting its STEM workforce
needs, in particular, attracting top-level U.S. citizens that
are eligible for security clearances. The SMART program was
established by the Department of Defense to attract and
retain promising candidates and STEM leaders into the
Department, including components of the IC. SMART provides
scholarships to students pursuing technical degrees in
disciplines of interest to the Department and the IC. We
recognize that the SMART program has been useful in meeting
its intent and believe that data provided on the program
shows that the SMART program could be used by a broader
community within the IC, but any further expansion would
require further socialization to increase participation, as
well as additional resources to fund any additional students
supporting the needs of the IC.
Clarification of eligibility of a State to participate in
defense experimental program to stimulate competitive
research
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 262) that would
modify the eligibility requirements for the Defense
Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research
(DEPSCOR) to bring it more in line with the eligibility
requirements of the Experimental Program to Stimulate
Competitive Research (EPSCOR) under the National Science
Foundation (NSF).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that while the Department of Defense maintains the
statutory authority for DEPSCOR, the Department has not
included funds to support the program since 2009 due to
changing research needs and priorities. Additionally, even
should funds be made available for DEPSCOR in the future, we
would be concerned about potential duplication with NSF's
EPSCOR. DEPSCOR was originally established as a separate
activity from EPSCOR in section 257 of the National Defense
Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337)
because the needs of the Department were not being met by the
EPSCOR. Should the Department choose to revitalize the
DEPSCOR activity, we believe it should maintain a separate
and distinct eligibility requirement to ensure that it is
able to meet the separate and distinct research needs of the
Department of Defense.
Briefing on power and energy research conducted at
university-affiliated research centers
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 266) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to brief the congressional
defense authorizing committees on power and energy research
conducted at university-affiliated research centers.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Approval of certain new uses of research, development, test,
and evaluation land
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 267) that would
prohibit the Secretary of Defense or the head of any other
department or agency of the Federal Government from
finalizing any decision regarding new land use activity on
ranges, test areas, or other land used by the Department of
Defense (DOD) for activities related to research,
development, test, and evaluation and determined to be
critical to national security unless the secretary concerned
approves such activity in writing.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the DOD Siting Clearinghouse was created to
preserve military readiness and protect DOD capabilities from
incompatible energy infrastructure development by
collaborating with DOD components and external stakeholders
to prevent, minimize, or mitigate adverse impacts on military
operations, readiness, and testing. The Clearinghouse is
intended to be the single point of contact and principal
advocate for DOD equities in all such deliberations.
We understand that as a result of the Clearinghouse review
of the Sun Zia Southwest Transmission Project, DOD raised
significant concerns and identified potential impacts on the
capabilities of the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New
Mexico. According to an August 7, 2013, letter from the
Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations
and Environment to the Principal Deputy Director of the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the route of the proposed
transmission line, without mitigation, ``would result in an
unacceptable risk to national security. If a bulk power
transmission line is constructed along the selected route, it
would preclude our capability to fully test the Joint
Integrated Air and Missile Defense Architecture and other
weapon systems under realistic threat environments at WSMR.
This testing is absolutely necessary and it should be clearly
understood that no other location exists in the United States
where it is possible to conduct flight tests with the
footprint requirements these weapons systems present.
Critical to fully testing joint military weapons are the
preservation of the restricted airspace (from the surface to
unlimited) on the range area on WSMR, and the permanently-
designated and specially-allocated restricted airspace in the
northern extension area.''
We expect that as the Sun Zia Southwest Transmission
project approval request proceeds, DOD concerns will be
addressed by the executive branch to preserve this critical
resource. We expect that appropriate mitigation measures will
be included concurrent to the issuance of a Record of
Decision by BLM.
Should DOD concerns not be addressed in this case, we
direct the Secretary of Defense to review the processes and
effectiveness of the DOD Siting Clearinghouse and to provide
a report to the congressional defense committees not later
than 90 days after a Record of Decision with proposals that
will improve the ability of the Clearinghouse to assess
impacts to national security in a timely manner and
ultimately preserve military readiness and protect DOD
capabilities from incompatible energy infrastructure
development.
Canines as stand-off detection of explosives and explosive
precursors
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 268) that would
require the Department of Defense (DOD) to provide a report
on the capability and infrastructure required to support
canines as stand-off detection of explosives and explosive
precursors.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House
of Representatives no later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act. The report shall make a determination
based on requirements if the DOD, and each military service,
intends to develop and maintain the capability and
infrastructure required to support canines as stand-off
detection of explosives and explosive precursors. If deemed
appropriate by the Secretary, the report shall also detail:
(1) The acquisition process with respect to canines as stand-
off detection of explosives and explosive precursors; (2) The
procedures established by the DOD to ensure that canines
reach or exceed the appropriate performance standards; (3) A
plan to ensure that the latest data and information regarding
canine capabilities are distributed throughout the DOD; (4)
Any technologies capable of replacing the canine as a stand-
off detection capability; and (5) A determination of the
relevant office to oversee the above elements.
Title III--Operation and Maintenance
Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations
Operation and maintenance funding (sec. 301)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 301) authorizing
appropriations for fiscal
[[Page H7903]]
year 2014 for the use of the armed forces and agencies of the
Department of Defense for expenses, not otherwise provided
for, for operation and maintenance, as specified in the
funding table in section 4301.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 301).
The agreement includes this provision.
Subtitle B--Energy and Environment
Deadline for submission of reports on proposed budgets for
activities relating to operational energy strategy (sec.
311)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 311) that would
amend section 138c(e) of title 10, United States Code, to
revise the date of submission for the report on the proposed
budgets that were not certified for that fiscal year.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Facilitation of interagency cooperation in conservation
programs of the Departments of Defense, Agriculture, and
Interior to avoid or reduce adverse impacts on military
readiness activities (sec. 312)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 312) that would
amend section 2684a of title 10, United States Code, to
permit a recipient of funds under the Sikes Act to be able to
use the funds for matching funds or cost-sharing requirements
of conservation programs. This section would also expire the
authority on October 1, 2019, but permit any agreements that
were entered into prior to September 30, 2019, to continue
according to its terms and conditions.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Reauthorization of Sikes Act (sec. 313)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 313) that would
extend the authority of the Sikes Act through 2019.
The Senate committee-reported bill amendment contained no
similar provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Clarification of prohibition on disposing of waste in open-
air burn pits (sec. 314)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 317) that would
codify the definition of covered waste as it relates to the
requirements established by section 317 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, title 10 of
United States Code 2701 note (Public Law 111-84).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
Limitation on availability of funds for procurement of drop-
in fuels (sec. 315)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 319) that would
limit the Department of Defense's (DOD) ability to purchase
or produce biofuels until the earlier of either the date on
which the Budget Control Act of 2011 is no longer in effect,
or the date on which the cost of biofuel is equal to the cost
of conventional fuels. The provision would provide an
exception for biofuel test and certification and research and
development.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment that would prohibit DOD funds to be used
for bulk purchases of drop-in fuel for operational purposes
during fiscal year 2014, unless the cost of that drop-in fuel
is cost competitive with traditional fuel, subject to a
national security waiver. We note that the phrase ``cost
competitive'' in this section generally refers to prices that
are equal to or lower than prices offered by competitors for
similar goods or services. However, we note that terms and
conditions for particular purchases may vary; in particular,
long-term energy purchases are likely to have different
pricing structures from short-term or spot-market purchases.
Accordingly, some flexibility in the application of this
phrase is anticipated, where necessary to address such
differences. We understand that average prices over the
period of a long-term contract would be cost competitive.
Subtitle C--Logistics and Sustainment
Strategic policy for prepositioned materiel and equipment
(sec. 321)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 312) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to
develop an overarching strategy, along with an implementation
plan, to integrate and synchronize at a Department-wide
level, the services' prepositioning programs. The strategy
and implementation plan would ensure that the Department of
Defense (DOD) prepositioning programs, both ground and
afloat, align with national defense strategies and new DOD
priorities, and emphasize joint oversight to maximize
effectiveness and efficiencies in prepositioned materiel and
equipment across the DOD.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Department of Defense manufacturing arsenal study and report
(sec. 322)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 322) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to review current and
expected manufacturing requirements across the Department of
Defense to identify critical manufacturing capabilities which
could be executed by the government-owned arsenals, and to
brief the results of the review to the congressional defense
committees.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 311) that would require the Secretary of
Defense, in consultation with the military services and
defense agencies, to review current and expected
manufacturing requirements for which there is no or limited
domestic commercial source and which are appropriate for
manufacturing within an arsenal owned by the United States in
order to support critical manufacturing capabilities.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to
review arsenals owned by the United States in order to
support critical manufacturing capabilities. The agreement
also directs the Government Accountability Office to report
and assess the Department's review with recommendations.
Consideration of Army arsenals' capabilities to fulfill
manufacturing requirements (sec. 323)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 323) that would
require program executive officers and program managers to
solicit information from government-owned arsenals when
undertaking a make-or-buy analysis, notify government-owned
arsenals of the requirement, and allow arsenals that have the
capability to fulfill a manufacturing requirement to submit a
proposal for the requirement.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Strategic policy for the retrograde, reconstitution, and
replacement of operating forces used to support overseas
contingency operations (sec. 324)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 322) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to
establish a policy setting forth the program and priorities
of the Department of Defense for the retrograde,
reconstitution, and replacement of units and materiel used to
support overseas contingency operations. The provision
directed that the policy shall take into account national
security threats, the requirements of the combatant commands,
the current readiness of the operational forces of the
military departments, and risk associated with strategic
depth and the time necessary to reestablish required
personnel, equipment, and training readiness in such
operating forces.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical amendment.
Littoral Combat Ship Strategic Sustainment Plan (sec. 325)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 321) that would
require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a strategic
sustainment plan for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program
to the congressional defense committees.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would clarify that the strategic sustainment
plan would have to identify specifically any contractor
support needed by the LCS vessels when they are forward
deployed.
Strategy for improving asset tracking and in-transit
visibility (sec. 326)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 836) that would
direct the Secretary of Defense to improve the management of
defense equipment and supplies throughout their lifecycles by
adopting and implementing item unique identification, radio
frequency identification, biometrics, and other automated
information and data capture technologies for the tracking,
management, and accountability for deployed assets.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 331) that would direct the Secretary of
Defense to complete a comprehensive strategy and
implementation plan for improving asset tracking and in-
transit visibility across the Department of Defense.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment that would include an operational
security assessment to ensure all DOD assets are
appropriately protected during the execution of the
comprehensive strategy and implementation plan.
We recognize the challenges in supply chain management,
including asset tracking and in-transit visibility
capabilities. We see this posing an acute near-term
challenge, especially in light of the experience with
retrograde operations from the Republic of Iraq and the on-
going operations in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
Furthermore, we note that supply chain management
challenges have been an on-going source of concern for the
Department of Defense, from the emergence of the Government
Accountability Office's high risk list in 1990, to the
current need to achieve auditability and financial management
goals set by the Secretary of Defense and Congress.
We believe that the strategy called for by this provision
is an important step to improving the Department's supply
chain management shortfalls. In developing and implementing
this strategy, we urge the Department to look at how it can
better leverage new technologies. For example, item unique
identification, radio frequency identification, and
biometrics could be more effectively used to interface with
enterprise resource planning systems and improve the
[[Page H7904]]
tracking, management, and accountability for all Department
assets.
Subtitle D--Reports
Additional reporting requirements relating to personnel and
unit readiness (sec. 331)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 331) that would
amend the report required under section 482 of title 10,
United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to
report to the congressional defense committees on the ability
of the geographic and functional combatant commanders to
successfully meet their respective contingency and
operational plans and key mission essential tasks.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 332) that would amend section 482 of title
10, United States Code, to update and streamline the
quarterly readiness report to Congress.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment that would combine both provisions and
would amend section 482 of title 10, United States Code.
Modification of authorities on prioritization of funds for
equipment readiness and strategic capability (sec. 332)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 332) that would
repeal the requirement that the Comptroller General of the
United States report on the Army's progress in moving to a
modular force design.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 321) that would repeal the requirement for
modularity reports by both the Army and the Government
Accountability Office and would also add a requirement that
the Marine Corps report budget information regarding funding
for the reset of equipment and reconstitution of
prepositioned stocks.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Revision to requirement for annual submission of information
regarding information technology capital assets (sec.
333)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 333) that would
amend the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2003 (Public Law 107-314; 10 U.S.C. 221 note) to align
Department of Defense high-threshold information technology
Capital Asset reporting with the Department's Major Automated
Information Systems reporting and its Exhibit 300 reporting
to the Office of Management and Budget.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 333).
The agreement includes this provision.
Modification of annual corrosion control and prevention
reporting requirements (sec. 334)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 334) that would amend section 903(b)(5) of the Duncan
Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2009 (P.L. 110-417; 10 U.S.C. 2228 note) to update the
military departments' strategic plans with performance
measures and show clear linkage to the Department of
Defense's overarching goals and objectives as described in
the Department's strategic plan for corrosion control and
prevention.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Subtitle E--Limitations and Extensions of Authority
Certification for realignment of forces at Lajes Air Force
Base, Azores (sec. 341)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 341) that would
restrict the Secretary of the Air Force from reducing the
force structure at Lajes Air Force Base, Azores, (Lajes)
until 30 days after the European Infrastructure Consolidation
Assessment is completed and is briefed to the congressional
defense committees.
The Senate committee-reported bill contains no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision requiring that, prior to
taking any action to realign forces at Lajes, the Secretary
of Defense must certify to the congressional defense
committees that the realignment is supported by a European
Infrastructure Consolidation Assessment.
Limitation on performance of Department of Defense flight
demonstration teams outside the United States (sec. 342)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 342) that would
prohibit the Secretary of Defense from using any fiscal year
2014 or 2015 funds to allow flight demonstration teams to
perform at any location outside the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision. The Senate report accompanying S. 1197 (S. Rpt.
113-44) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2014 commented on Department of Defense (DOD) guidance
prohibiting all aerial demonstrations, including flyovers,
jump team demonstrations, and participation in civilian air
shows and military open houses. The report observed that: (1)
There may be certain circumstances where an exception to this
general policy could provide some level of community
engagement as a no-cost addition to activities that are
required for training or readiness; and (2) DOD should
reconsider whether this policy should be enforced on a
blanket basis or whether the policy should allow for
community engagement if that engagement can be completed as a
no-cost adjunct to missions fulfilling other required
operational or training activities.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would prohibit spending funds for performances
of flight demonstration teams outside the United States if
the Department has cancelled any performances of flight
demonstration teams inside the United States by reason of
insufficient funds due to a sequestration. We are intending
that this provision cover the Air Force Thunderbirds, the
Navy Blue Angels and the Army Golden Knights.
Limitation on funding for United States Special Operations
Command National Capital Region (sec. 343)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 341) that would prohibit the expenditure of any funds
for the U.S. Special Operations Command National Capital
Region (USSOCOM-NCR) until 30 days after the Secretary of
Defense provides the congressional defense committees a
report which describes, at a minimum: (1) The purpose of the
USSOCOM-NCR; (2) The activities to be performed by the
USSOCOM-NCR; (3) An explanation of the impact of the USSOCOM-
NCR on existing activities at USSOCOM headquarters; (4) A
detailed breakout, by fiscal year, of the staffing and other
costs associated with the USSOCOM-NCR over the future years
defense program; (5) A description of the relationship
between the USSOCOM-NCR and the Office of the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity
Conflict (ASD SOLIC); (6) The role of the ASD SOLIC in
providing oversight of USSOCOM-NCR activities; and (7) Any
other matters the Secretary deems appropriate.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Limitation on availability of funds for Trans Regional Web
Initiative (sec. 344)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 343) that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from
expending any funds in Operation and Maintenance, defense-
wide (OMDW), for the Trans Regional Web Initiative (TRWI).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from
expending more than $2.0 million in OMDW for TRWI and
restrict the use of such funds for the termination of the
program as managed by U.S. Special Operations Command or for
purposes of transitioning appropriate TRWI capabilities to
other agencies.
In light of budget concerns for the U.S. Government,
resource constraints for the Department of Defense, and
shifts in the geopolitical environment and security
strategies, we note our concern with regard to the
Department's direction for strategically engaging in the
information environment. We remain skeptical of the
effectiveness of the websites established under the TRWI and
believe that available resources may better be used to
support tactical and operational military information support
activities. We believe strategic information operations
activities, like TRWI, may more appropriately be managed by
other relevant U.S. Government agencies, with the Department
of Defense focused on contributing to an interagency approach
that is responsive to military-specific operational
requirements.
If the Secretary of Defense deems it to be in the national
security interests of the United States and appropriate under
current fiscal pressures, we note the Department of Defense
may use funds authorized by this Act for TRWI to conduct a
pilot project using existing authorities with an appropriate
U.S. Government agency, such as the Broadcasting Board of
Governors. Such a pilot could be used to demonstrate the
transition of appropriate TRWI capabilities to such agency
and support the strategic information operations requirements
of the Geographic Combatant Commanders. We believe that any
such pilot should seek to demonstrate responsiveness to the
time sensitive needs of the Department of Defense while
integrating such activities with broader U.S. strategic
communications objectives. Consistent with this provision, we
expect that the Department of Defense will not request
additional funding for TRWI in fiscal year 2015 and beyond.
Subtitle F--Other Matters
Gifts made for the benefit of military musical units (sec.
351)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 599) that would
amend section 974 of title 10, United States Code, to require
that any gift made on the condition that the gift be used for
the benefit of a military musical unit be credited to the
appropriation or account providing the funds for such musical
unit.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would authorize
service secretaries to accept contributions of money,
personal property, or services on the condition that such
money, property, or services be used for the benefit of a
military musical unit, and requiring that such contributions
be credited to the appropriation or account for that musical
unit.
Revised policy on ground combat and camouflage utility
uniforms (sec. 352)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 351) that would
establish as national policy a
[[Page H7905]]
requirement for all the U.S. military services to use a joint
combat camouflage uniform by October 1, 2018, with certain
exceptions.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a
similar provision (sec. 351) that would direct the
Secretary of Defense to reduce the separate development
and fielding of service-specific combat and camouflage
utility uniforms in order to collectively adopt and field
the same combat and camouflage utility uniforms for use by
all members of the Armed Forces.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment that would combine both provisions and
eliminate the 2018 deadline.
We note the provision adopted makes it the policy of the
United States for the Secretary of Defense to eliminate the
development and fielding of Armed Force-specific combat and
camouflage utility uniforms and families of uniforms, in
order to adopt and field a common combat and camouflage
utility uniform, or family of uniforms, for specific combat
environments, to be used by all members of the Armed Forces.
Each Armed Force will be prohibited from adopting new combat
and camouflage utility uniforms unless: (1) All the Armed
Forces adopt the same uniform or family of uniforms; (2) An
Armed Force adopts a uniform currently in use by another
Armed Force; or (3) The Secretary of Defense grants an
exception, based on unique circumstances or operational
requirements.
We note that exceptions granted to this policy include: (1)
Combat and camouflage utility uniforms and families of
uniforms for use by special operations personnel; (2)
Engineering modifications to existing combat and camouflage
utility uniforms and families of uniforms such as power
harnessing or generating textiles, fire resistant fabrics,
and anti-vector, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial
treatments; (3) Ancillary uniform items such as headwear,
footwear, body armor, and other items designated by the
secretaries of the military departments; (4) Vehicle crew
uniforms; (5) Service-specific cosmetic modifications; or (6)
existing Service-specific uniforms that meet operational
requirements.
We note that a secretary of a military department may not
prevent the secretary of another military department from
authorizing the use of any combat or camouflage utility
uniform or family of uniforms approved for use by an Armed
Force under the jurisdiction of the secretary. Furthermore,
the secretary of a military department shall formally
register with the Joint Clothing and Textiles Governance
Board all current and future combat uniforms, camouflage
utility uniforms, and families of uniforms.
We also note that 60 days after the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary of Defense shall issue implementation guidance
that requires the secretaries of the military departments to:
(1) Establish joint performance criteria for the design,
development, fielding, and characteristics of combat and
camouflage utility uniforms and families of uniforms and
include that criteria in all new requirements documents; (2)
Continue to work together to assess and develop new
technologies that could be incorporated into future combat
and camouflage utility uniforms and families of uniforms to
improve warfighter survivability; (3) Ensure that new combat
and camouflage utility uniforms and families of uniforms meet
the geographic and operational requirements of the commanders
of the combatant commands; and (4) Ensure that all new combat
and camouflage utility uniforms and families of uniforms
achieve interoperability with all components of individual
warfighter systems, including body armor, organizational
clothing and equipment, and other individual protective
systems.
We fully expect the Secretary of Defense to enforce this
policy and not deviate from its intent to reduce the separate
development and fielding of Armed Force-specific combat and
camouflage uniforms and families of uniforms.

Cooperative agreements under Sikes Act for land management
related to Department of Defense readiness activities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 314) that would
amend section 103A of the Sikes Act, section 670c-1 of title
16, United States Code, to permit lump sum payment and
accrual of interest used for the purposes of the original
agreement. This section would also permit the cooperative
agreements to be used to acquire property or services for the
direct benefit or use of the U.S. Government, and sets
limitations on agreements that are not on military
installations. Finally, this section would also expire the
authority on October 1, 2019, but permit any agreements that
were entered into prior to September 30, 2019, to continue
according to its terms and conditions.
The Senate committee-reported bill amendment contained no
similar provision.
The agreement does not contain this provision.
Exclusions from definition of ``chemical substance'' under

(Section 42 of United States Code 17142) to exempt the
Department of Defense from the requirements related to
contracts for alternative or synthetic fuel in that section.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Limitation on plan, design, refurbishing, or construction of
biofuels refineries
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 318) that would
require the Department of Defense to obtain a congressional
authorization before entering into a contract for the
planning, design, refurbishing, or construction of a biofuels
refinery.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Military readiness and southern sea otter conservation
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 320) that would
amend section 631 of title 10, United States Code, by adding
a provision permitting the Secretary of the Defense to
establish ``Southern Sea Otter Military Readiness Areas.''
This provision would exempt southern sea otters from the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533, 1538) and the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1371, 1372).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain this provision.
Assessment of outreach for small business concerns owned and
controlled by women and minorities required before
conversion of certain functions to contractor performance
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 324) that would
forbid a Department of Defense function performed by
Department of Defense civilian employees and tied to a
military base from being converted into a contractor function
until the Secretary of Defense conducts an assessment to
determine if the Department of Defense has carried out
sufficient outreach programs to assist small businesses owned
and controlled by women and socially and economically
disadvantaged individuals.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain this provision.

Vieques and Culebra Islands, Puerto Rico
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 334) that would
require the Secretary of Defense conduct a review of all
Department of Defense records detailing the historical use of
military munitions and training on Vieques and Culebra
Islands, Puerto Rico.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain this provision.
We note that the Department of Defense, for land and water
sites on Culebra Island for which the Department is
responsible, has completed historical research under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA) process and issued Preliminary
Assessment reports concerning the Department's former use of
sites on Culebra Island for live-fire training.
We also note that for these sites, the Army has completed
site inspections and is currently conducting remedial
investigations that will determine whether an environmental
response action is required at specific sites.
Finally, we note that the Department of Defense is in the
process of cleaning up portions of the former operational
ranges on Vieques and also is conducting preliminary
assessments, site inspections, and remedial investigations to
determine whether a response action is required under CERCLA
at Vieques. Therefore, we encourage the Department of Defense
to work with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to ensure the
documents and reports from the historical records reviews and
investigations that the Department of Defense and the Army
completed for those former military sites on
[[Page H7906]]
Culebra and Vieques are made available to the public.
Authorization to institute a centralized, automated mail
redirection system to improve the delivery of absentee
ballots to military personnel serving outside the United
States

We understand that alternate funding has been used to
modernize the U.S. Postal Service's mail delivery system to
improve the delivery of absentee ballots to military
personnel serving outside the United States.
Title IV--Military Personnel Authorizations
Subtitle A--Active Forces
End strengths for active forces (sec. 401)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 401) that would
authorize the following end strengths for active duty
personnel of the armed forces as of September 30, 2014: Army,
520,000; Navy, 323,600; Marine Corps, 190,200; and Air Force,
327,600.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 401).
The agreement includes this provision.
End strength levels for the active forces for fiscal year
2014 are set forth in the following table:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revisions in permanent active duty end strength minimum
levels and in annual limitation on certain end strength
reductions (sec. 402)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 402) that would
establish the following minimum end strengths for active-duty
personnel as of September 30, 2014: Army, 520,000; Navy,
323,600; Marine Corps, 190,200; and Air Force, 327,600.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would establish minimum active-duty end
strengths for the Army of 510,000 and the Marine Corps of
188,000, and would amend section 403 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239)
to increase the maximum annual reduction in end strength
authorized by that section for the Army to 25,000 and for the
Marine Corps to 7,500.
Minimum end strength levels for active-duty personnel for
fiscal year 2014 are set forth in the following table:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FY 2014 Change from
Service FY 2013 -------------------------------------
Authorized Recommendation FY 2013
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Army................................................... 542,700 510,000 -32,700

--------------------------------------------------------
DOD Total...................................... 1,388,360 1,349,200 -39,160
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We note that continued fiscal constraints have forced the
Army and the Marine Corps to alter their end strength
reduction plans to reach their pre-sequester end strength
targets of 490,000 for the Army and 182,100 for the Marine
Corps by the end of fiscal year 2015, 2 years before
originally anticipated. In order to maintain a balance
between end strength, readiness of the force, and
modernization, we will support this altered reduction plan.
However, we remain concerned that unfettered reductions in
end strength will have a detrimental impact on force
structure and, ultimately, operational mission capability and
capacity among the services, and harm the morale of the
force. The services should be very cautious in their efforts
to further reduce the force to ensure that we do not break
faith with those who continue to serve in the current
conflicts, and those who have served our nation in war.
Subtitle B--Reserve Forces
End strengths for Selected Reserve (sec. 411)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 411) that would

Military Studies senior-level course at the Army Command and
General Staff College to offer joint professional military

location of study for the U.S. Army War College in order to
award JPME II credit to students who successfully complete
this course.
Authority for Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences to support undergraduate and other medical
education and training programs for military medical
personnel
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 522) that would amend sections 2112(a) and 2113 of
title 10, United States Code, to provide greater flexibility
to the Secretary of Defense, through the Uniformed Services
University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), to access federal
resources outside of the National Capital Region and to
enable the USUHS to grant undergraduate degrees,
certificates, and certifications in addition to advanced
degrees.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe that further analysis and review of the
authorities and support that may be necessary to allow the
Medical Education and Training Campus (METC), the tri-service
medical training center in San Antonio, Texas, to upgrade its
health education programs is required. We understand that the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs has
established a working group to address several of these
issues.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to expand this working
group to include the Director of Training Readiness and
Strategy of the Department of Defense, and other appropriate
representatives outside of the health communities that may be
impacted, to develop a consensus on a way forward that meets
the needs of the services and the service members in a cost-
efficient manner. We will await the results of such a

Expansion of eligibility for associate degree programs under
the Community College of the Air Force
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 523) that would amend section 9315(b) of title 10,
United States Code, to authorize the Community College of the

armed forces other than the Air Force who participate in
joint-service medical training and education or instructors
in such joint-service medical training and education.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe that further analysis and review of the
authorities and support is required before the Medical
Education and Training Campus (METC), the tri-Service medical
training center in San Antonio, Texas, upgrades its health
education programs. We understand that the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs has established a
working group to address several of these issues.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to expand the working
group to include representatives from the Department's Office
of Transition Assistance and other appropriate
representatives outside of the health communities that may be
impacted to develop a plan that meets the needs of the
Services and the service members in a cost-efficient manner.
We will await the completion of the plan before authorizing
additional authorities for the various organizations that
support the METC.
Procedures for judicial review of military personnel
decisions relating to correction of military records
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 525) that would

of final military personnel decisions relating to correction
of military records.

regulations restricting the service of female members of the
armed forces.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar

Progression in the Military'' prepared for the Office of the
Secretary of Defense as part of the review required by
section 535 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2011.
Meetings with respect to religious liberty
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 530E) that would
require the Department of Defense to provide to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives advance written notice of any meeting held
between Department employees and civilians for the purpose of
writing, revising, implementing, enforcing, or seeking
advice, input, or counsel regarding military policy related
to religious liberty.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe the Department and the military services should
proactively reach out to and meet with religious groups of
all faiths when formulating and revising policies that impact
religious freedom and tolerance within the military. We are
becoming increasingly concerned over reports that the
Department and the services appear more responsive to some
religious groups and interests than others. The Department
and the services must be proactive in their efforts to
overcome this perception and to ensure the fairness and
equity of policies and regulations that address the religious
liberty of service members and their families.
Proof of period of military service for purposes of interest
rate limitation under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 530F) that would

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Military Hazing Prevention Oversight Panel
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 550C) that would
establish the Military Hazing Prevention Oversight Panel to
provide recommendations to the service secretaries on the
development of policies, programs, and procedures to prevent
and respond to hazing in the armed forces.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that section 534 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, Public Law 112-239,
required the Services, along with the Coast Guard, to review
the treatment of hazing and report the results of the reviews
to the appropriate congressional committees. As a result of
the review, the Marine Corps revised its hazing policy on May
20, 2013, to prohibit all forms of hazing. The Army
established a Hazing Policy Assessment Team to review all
hazing cases from 2006 through 2013, and the Navy established
the Office of Hazing Prevention.
In addition, the Services are either tracking or in the
process of tracking hazing incidents, and are continuing
efforts to address prevention of hazing in their force. We
understand that the Joint Service Committee on Military
Justice recommended changes to
[[Page H7914]]
specifically address hazing under the Uniform Code of
Military Justice (UCMJ). We expect the Department of Defense,
and the Department of Homeland Security for the Coast Guard,
to continue to monitor this issue to ensure that the
recommended changes to the UCMJ are implemented, and that all
the Services have the ability to track hazing incidents
within their Service.
Department of Defense recognition of spouses of members of
the Armed Forces who serve in combat zones
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 551) that would
amend chapter 57 of title 10, United States Code, to require
the design of a spouse-of-a-combat-veteran lapel button,
approved by the Secretary of Defense, to identify and
recognize the spouse of a member of the armed forces who is
serving or has served in a combat zone for a period of more
than 30 days.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that section 901(b) of title 36, United States
Code, authorizes the wearing of a service lapel button

of an individual serving in the armed forces of the United
States during any period of war or hostilities in which the
armed forces of the United States are engaged.

active duty for purposes of mortgage refinancing
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 553) that would
amend the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C. App. 501
et seq.) to authorize a service member to refinance a
principal residence in circumstances where the service member
was unable to continue residing in the residence by virtue of
receiving permanent change of station orders, or when
deployed or mobilized in support of a military operation for
a period of at least 18 months.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Transition of members of the Armed Forces and their families
from military to civilian life
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 555) that would
express the sense of the Congress on the role of federal and
State governments in ensuring a seamless transition back to
civilian life for service members and their families.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe that members of the armed forces and their
families make great sacrifices on behalf of the country, and
their transition from military to civilian life should be as
seamless as possible by providing them opportunities to earn
civilian occupational credentials and licenses. State and
local governments and industries should streamline methods
for assessing the equivalency of military training and
experience, and accelerate occupational and professional
licensure and certifications for members and spouses.
Further, we believe that private employers should, to the
extent practicable, do their utmost to educate and inform
their managers, supervisors, and human resource departments
on the advantages of hiring qualified veterans who have
service-connected permanent total disabilities, as well as
qualified surviving spouses of service members killed in
action.
We note that the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) required the Department
of Defense to carry out a pilot program to assess the
feasibility and advisability of permitting enlisted members
of the armed forces to obtain civilian credentialing or
licensing for skills required for military occupational
specialties or qualification for duty specialty codes. The
Department recently successfully completed the initial phase
which had selected five civilian occupations for the pilot,
which included aircraft mechanics, automotive mechanics,
healthcare support, logistics and supply, and truck drivers.
These occupations were chosen because the labor market
outlook projects medium to high wages, high employment, and
significant growth for civilian jobs in these occupations. As
a result of the initial results, the Department recommends
continuing and expanding the pilot program, expanding
credentialing opportunities to military occupational codes in
law enforcement, and including greater participation by the
reserve components as well as wounded, ill, or injured
service members.
Mortgage protection for members of the Armed Forces,
surviving spouses, and certain veterans and other
improvements to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 556) that would

et seq.) to enhance mortgage protections under that Act for

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.

recognize the dependent of a member of the armed forces who
is serving or has served in a combat zone for a period of
more than 30 days.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.

engaged, or was personally engaged by, the enemy at any time
during the period beginning on December 7, 1941, and ending

We are aware of the errors contained in the Valor Awards
Database established by the Department of Defense in July
2012. These errors led to confusion regarding individuals

for members of the uniformed services of 1 percent effective
January 1, 2014.

percent that would otherwise have taken effect under current
law.

outside of normal commuting distance and additional one-
year extension
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 616) that would correct an erroneous citation in
section 611(7) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) that extended authority
to pay travel expenses for certain inactive-duty training
outside of normal commuting distances. The provision would
further extend the authority to December 31, 2014.

compensation (CRDP) was made relative to the division of
retired pay under section 1408 of title 10, United States
Code.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We understand that a retiree's decision to receive CRSC may
have significant consequences on a former spouse who has been
receiving a division of retired pay, including a division of
CRDP. Such a decision can leave a former spouse with a
sizable debt to the Federal Government for the past divisions
of CRDP already paid. The Defense Finance and Accounting
Service (DFAS) has the authority to waive those debts upon
application. We expect DFAS to waive those debts relative to
past divisions of CRDP when requested, and to make retirees,
spouses, and former spouses aware of their options in seeking
debt forgiveness in this circumstance.

the reserve components as veterans

authorities established under section 622, and will update
the appropriate regulatory issuances upon completion.
Preservation of retiree dependent status for certain
dependents upon death or permanent incapacitation of the
retired member on whom dependent status is based

(sec. 645) that would amend section 1060b of title 10, United

The agreement does not include this provision.
We remain concerned about reports that predatory lenders
continue to prey on service members and their families using
forms of credit designed specifically to evade coverage of
the MLA under the rules promulgated by the Department of
Defense. We strongly encourage agencies with either explicit
or implied enforcement authority over the MLA to enforce the
MLA to the maximum extent possible. In the conference report
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239), the conferees
expressed concern over the evolution of these predatory
products and practices since 2006. The conferees thus
directed the Secretary of Defense to review the evolution of
predatory products and practices since 2006 and ``to
determine if changes to rules implementing section 987 are
necessary to protect covered borrowers from continuing and
evolving predatory lending practices, and to report to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of
Representatives'' by January 2, 2014, on the results of this
review. In furtherance of this effort, the Department issued
an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking on June 17, 2013.
We expect the Department to issue its report by the end of
the year together with new rules implementing the MLA that
will address lending products crafted to evade coverage under
existing MLA regulations, and all agencies with enforcement
powers over the MLA to exercise those powers under these new
rules to protect service members and their families from
predatory lending practices.

under that section that was ongoing as of December 31, 2012.
The House bill contained no similar provision.

agencies of the Federal Government, representatives of
military service organizations representing the interests of
service members who are urotrauma patients, and appropriate
nongovernmental organizations with expertise in matters

amend section 1074m of title 10, United States Code, to
require the Secretary of Defense to provide person-to-person
mental health assessments once during each 180-day period
during which a service member is deployed.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that each of the military departments has embedded
behavioral health care providers in certain operational and
deployable units whose purpose is to provide increased access
to behavioral health care for service members in theater.
Periodic mental health assessments for members of the Armed
Forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide periodic person-
to-person mental health assessments to each member of the
armed forces serving on active duty.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
Behavioral health treatment of developmental disabilities
under TRICARE
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that would
amend section 1077 of title 10, United States Code, to
authorize behavioral health treatment, including applied
behavior analysis therapy, for all developmental disabilities
as defined by section 15002(8) of title 42, United States
Code, including autism spectrum disorders, when prescribed by
a physician to be covered under the basic TRICARE program for

authorize the secretaries of the military departments to
establish cooperative health care agreements between military
installations and local or regional non-military health care
entities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.

We note that the Secretary of Defense was provided the
authority to enter into cooperative health care agreements
under section 713 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2010 (10 U.S.C. 1073 note), and that the
Secretary may delegate this authority. We believe that in
circumstances where the Secretary deems it appropriate, the
Secretary should utilize or delegate this authority.
Limitation on availability of funds for integrated electronic
health record program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 713) that would
limit the amount of funds the Secretary of Defense may
obligate or expend for procurement or research, development,

We note that in December 2012, the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) published in the Federal Register a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to implement the Secure and
Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-273).
We believe that the proposed rule severely hampers DOD
efforts to collect and safely dispose of unused prescription
drugs. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
has expressed concern that DEA's proposed rule will ``limit
DOD's ability to accept unused patient medications in a
routine setting and reduce the potential effectiveness of
efforts to eliminate opportunities for medication misuse,
abuse and tragic adverse events.'' We understand that the DEA
has been in discussions with the Department to develop
workable, accessible, readily-available means for service
members, retirees, and their dependents to dispose of unused
or unwanted controlled substances efficiently, but we are
discouraged that substantial progress has not yet
[[Page H7920]]
been made. We expect that the DEA's final rule, once
published, will provide the Department with the means to
establish a meaningful drug take-back program for its
beneficiaries to reduce prescription drug misuse, abuse and
potential tragic adverse events.

negative breast cancer and to provide information that will
enable triple negative breast cancer patients to be
identified earlier and aid the development of therapies for
the disease.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We urge the Secretary of Defense to consider conducting
research to identify specific genetic and molecular targets
and biomarkers for triple negative breast cancer.
Sense of Congress on mental health counselors for members of
the Armed Forces and their families
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 728) that would
express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense

qualified counselors to meet the long-term needs of service
members and their families for counselors, to include the
participation of accredited schools and universities, health
care providers, professional counselors, family service or
support centers, chaplains, and other appropriate Department
of Defense resources.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Preliminary mental health assessments
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 730) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide a mental health
assessment to any individual enlisting or being commissioned
as an officer in the armed forces prior to such enlistment or
commissioning, and to use the results of such an assessment
as a baseline for any subsequent mental health examinations.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Sense of Congress on the traumatic brain injury plan
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 731) that would
express the sense of Congress that section 739(b) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239) requires the Secretary of Defense, not
later than 180 days after the enactment of such Act, to
submit a plan to Congress to improve the coordination and
integration of Department of Defense programs that address
traumatic brain injury and the psychological health of
service members, and that the Secretary should deliver the
report within the required time frame.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We expect the Secretary of Defense to submit the plan
required by section 739(b) to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives as
soon as possible.
Title VIII--Acquisition Policy, Acquisition Management, and
Related Matters
Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management
Enhanced transfer of technology developed at Department of
Defense laboratories (sec. 801)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would
establish a pilot program to allow Department of Defense
(DOD) laboratories to license DOD-owned intellectual property

exemption from strict liability associated with rework and
corrective action related to counterfeits of obsolete
electronic parts.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the provision with an amendment that
would require the Department to work with contractors or
other sources of supply to identify obsolete parts and
replace them through an expedited engineering change process.
Subtitle B-Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures,
and Limitations
Government-wide limitations on allowable costs for contractor
compensation (sec. 811)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would
amend section 2324(e)(1)(P) of title 10, United States Code,
and section 4304(a) of title 41, United States Code, to
replace the current statutory benchmark compensation formula
used to determine the amount of contractor compensation that
is considered an allowable cost for a federal contract, with
the current compensation benchmark amount for fiscal year
2013 of $763,209. This section would also make unallowable
the entire cost of compensation for the five most-highly
compensated employees of a contractor that was awarded more
than $500.0 million in federal contracts in the previous
fiscal year.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 841) that would reduce the cap on allowable
costs of compensation of contractor employees to an amount
consistent with the original legislative cap, adjusted for
inflation, and provide for future annual adjustments by
reflecting the change in the Employment Cost Index for all
workers, as calculated by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
According to this calculation, the cap for fiscal year 2014
would be at $487,325.
The agreement contains the provision with an amendment that
would revise the cap on compensation of contractor employees
and provide for future annual adjustments.
Inclusion of additional cost estimate information in certain
reports (sec. 812)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would
amend section 2432 of title 10, United States Code, to
require that the program's baseline cost estimate, along with
the associated risk curve and sensitivity of that estimate be
provided in the quarterly selected acquisition reports. In
addition, this section would require that the reports include
the current point estimate bounded by the low-end and high-
end estimates and the associated sensitivity of those
estimates, and identification of the primary risk parameters
associated with the estimate. Furthermore, this section would
require reporting of estimated termination liability
remaining on the contract. Finally, this section would amend
section 2334(f) of title 10, United States Code, to require
the Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, to
review the information required by this section and to
include trend information, a summary of findings and
recommendations to improve the cost estimates of the
Department of Defense in the annual report to Congress on
cost assessment activities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the provision with a technical
amendment. We encourage the Secretary of Defense to include
at least three programs designated as Acquisition Category I
programs in the December 2014 reporting period.
Amendment relating to compelling reasons for waiving
suspension or debarment (sec. 813)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that would
amend section 2393(b) of title 10, United States Code, by
requiring the Secretary of Defense to make available on a
publicly accessible website any determination that there is a
compelling reason to solicit an offer from, award a contract
to, extend a contract with, or approve a subcontract with an
offeror or contractor that has been debarred or suspended by
a federal agency.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the provision with a technical
amendment.
Extension of pilot program on acquisition of military purpose
nondevelopmental items (sec. 814)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would
amend section 866 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal
[[Page H7921]]
Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383), by extending the program
authority to December 31, 2019. Furthermore, the committee
encouraged the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics to review the military purpose non-
developmental items implementation guidance and to exercise
the authority provided in section 866.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the provision.
Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs
Synchronization of cryptographic systems for major defense
acquisition programs (sec. 821)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 821) that as part of a milestone B decision for a major
defense acquisition program, would require that there be a
plan in place to mitigate and account for costs in connection
with decertification of cryptographic equipment during
production and procurement of the system. The provision
includes a waiver based on national security needs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that changes the date of applying this provision to
6 months after the date of enactment.
Assessment of dedicated ground control system before
Milestone B approval of major defense acquisition
programs constituting a space program (sec. 822)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 822) that would implement a recommendation from the

cycle cost estimates found within the DOD 5000 directive and
instructions.
The Comptroller General of the United States shall review
the implementation plan and submit its views no later than 90
days after the plan is submitted to the congressional defense
committees.
Additional responsibility for product support managers for
major weapon systems (sec. 823)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 823) that would amend section 2337 of title 10, United
States Code, and section 823 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239),
to provide an assurance that all product support arrangements
explicitly state how the arrangement will maximize use of
government-owned inventory before obtaining inventory from
commercial sources. This provision is a result of a
Department of Defense Inspector General investigation into
the Defense Logistics Agency.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement contains the provision with a technical
amendment.
Comptroller General review of Department of Defense processes
for the acquisition of weapons systems (sec. 824)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 824) requiring the Comptroller General to carry out a
comprehensive review of the processes and procedures of the
Department of Defense for the acquisition of weapon systems.
The objective of the review is to identify processes and
procedures for the acquisition of weapon systems that provide
little or no value or for which any value added is outweighed
by cost or schedule delays without adding commensurate value.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement contains this provision with a clarifying
amendment.
We direct the Comptroller General to provide the
congressional defense committees with the required report no
later than January 31, 2015.

actively supports an insurgency or otherwise actively opposes
the United States or its coalition partners in a contingency
operation in the United States Central Command theater of
operations, to: (1) Lower the threshold for covered contracts
from $0.1 million to $0.05 million; (2) Provide the authority
to certain other geographic combatant commands during a
contingency operation as defined by section 101(a)(13) of
title 10, United States Code; and (3) Make the authority
permanent.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 861) that would amend section 841 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012
(Public Law 112-81) by striking ``the date that is three
years after the date of the enactment of this Act'' and
inserting ``December 31, 2016.''
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an additional
similar provision (section 862) that would expand section 841
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2012 (Public Law 112-81) to all combatant commanders.
The agreement contains that provision with an amendment
that would amend section 841 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81),
making the authorities provided in section 841 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012
(Public Law 112-81) available to certain other combatant
commanders.
We intend that the definition of a ``covered person or
entity'' would not mean a person or entity that is engaged in
speech activities but rather actions involving hostile
opposition to United States or coalition forces.
Extension of authority to acquire products and services
produced in countries along a major route of supply to
Afghanistan (sec. 832)

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Modification of reporting requirement for Department of
Defense business system acquisition programs when initial
operating capability is not achieved within 5 years of

would amend the reporting requirement imposed on defense
business systems (DBS) acquisition programs by section 811
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2007 (Public Law 109-364) by clarifying the separate
treatment of Major Automated Information Systems (MAIS)
DBS and non-MAIS DBS. Specifically, this section would
clarify that section 811 is inapplicable to MAIS DBS
acquisition programs because such programs are
independently subject to critical change reporting under
section 2445c of title 10, United States Code. This
section would also modify the requirement for non-MAIS DBS
reporting a failure to achieve initial operational
capacity (IOC) within 5 years of milestone A approval from
a critical change report to a report to the Department of
Defense pre-certification authority explaining the causes
and circumstances surrounding the failure to achieve IOC
within the required time.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Restatement and revision of requirements applicable to
multiyear defense acquisitions to be specifically
authorized by law
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 801) that would clarify and reorganize the reporting
and certification requirements of the Department of Defense
when requesting specific authorization for multiyear contract
authority.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Report on program manager training and experience
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 803) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
submit an updated version of the 2009 Department of Defense
report titled: ``OSD [Office of the Secretary of Defense]
Study of Program Manager Training and Experience'' not later
than 120 days from enactment of this Act.
The report found senior military officers, including
general officers, and civilians in charge of acquisition
programs did not believe their acquisition training was
``sufficiently practical and comprehensive'' regarding a
number of fundamental areas of acquisition management. For
example, the following is a partial list of responses showing
the percent of program managers polled at that time who
believed their acquisition training was sufficiently
practical and comprehensive:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overseeing Contractor Performance............................... 31%
Cost Estimating Challenges...................................... 27%
Software Management Challenges.................................. 25%
Cost Control Challenges......................................... 25%
Unexpected Cost Growth.......................................... 14%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not contain this provision.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide to the
congressional defense committees a comprehensive update of
the 2009 report not later than 120 days after the date of
enactment of this Act.
The update should also identify, describe, and analyze
trends in the training and experience of personnel
acquisition program
[[Page H7922]]
management since the issuance of the 2009 report, and should
provide recommendations for improving the training and
experience of personnel performing acquisition program
management functions.
We further direct the Secretary to specifically examine the
training, qualifications, and experience of personnel
performing acquisition program management functions on
programs designated as Acquisition Category I, IA, and II and
provide recommendations on the ways to improve the
practicality and comprehensiveness of the acquisition
training provided to such personnel.
Additional contractor responsibilities in regulations
relating to detection and avoidance of counterfeit
electronic parts
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would
amend section 818 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to provide that the
costs associated with the use of counterfeit electronic
parts, and the subsequent cost of rework or corrective action
that may be required to remedy the use of inclusion of such
parts, are allowable costs under Department of Defense
contracts if the counterfeit electronic parts were procured
from an original manufacturer or its authorized dealer, or
from a trusted supplier.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain this provision.
Requirement that cost or price to the Federal Government be
given at least equal importance as technical or other
criteria in evaluating competitive proposals for defense
contracts
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that would
amend section 2305(a)(3) of title 10, United States Code, to
require that the head of an agency of the Department of
Defense, in prescribing the evaluation factors to be included
in each solicitation for competitive proposals, assign
importance to cost or price at least equal to all evaluation
factors other than cost or price when combined. This section
would allow the head of an agency to waive the requirement,
and it would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to
Congress, not later than 180 days after the end of each
fiscal year, a report containing a list of each waiver issued
during the preceding fiscal year.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
The Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15 permits the use
of several best value competitive source selection
techniques. Within the best value continuum, the government
should utilize the technique that is most advantageous to its
interests.
The government may choose to use the lowest price
technically acceptable source selection process for
acquisitions in which best value can be expected to result
from the selection of the technically acceptable proposal
with the lowest evaluated price.
The government may also choose to use a trade-off source
selection process for acquisitions in which it may be in the
best interest of the government to grant an award to an
offeror other than the lowest priced offeror or the highest
technically rated offeror. In such cases, non-cost or price
evaluation factors may be weighed against cost or price
factors in competitive source selections.
We are concerned that best value competitive source
selection processes are not always properly implemented.
Therefore, we direct the Comptroller General of the United
States to conduct a study on Department of Defense
procurements that use best value competitive source selection
techniques. The study shall include, at a minimum, an
assessment of:
(1) The frequency with which evaluation factors other than
cost or price, when combined, are given more weight than cost
or price in solicitations for competitive proposals;
(2) The types of contracts for products or services for
which such evaluation factors are most frequently used;
(3) The reasons why the Department of Defense chooses to
use such evaluation factors;
(4) The extent to which the use of such factors is or is
not in the interest of the Department of Defense;
(5) The efficacy with which the Department of Defense's
acquisition workforce implements best value competitive
source selection techniques;
(6) The Department of Defense's guidance and directives on
the appropriate use of best value competitive source
selection techniques; and
(7) The extent to which budgetary constraints affect the
use of best value competitive source selection techniques.
We direct the Comptroller General to submit to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives a report on the results of this study not
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act.
Requirement to buy American flags from domestic sources
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 817) that would
amend section 2533a(b) of title 10, United States Code, to
include ``a flag of the United States of America'' to the
list of items that the Department of Defense may not procure
unless the item is grown, processed, reused, or produced in
the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
We note that flags of the United States procured by the
Department of Defense are procured in accordance with section
2533a(b)(1)(D) of title 10, United States Code.
Collection of data relating to contracts in Iraq and
Afghanistan
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that would
amend section 861 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as amended, to
allow contracts in Afghanistan entered into after the
enactment of this Act to include a clause requiring the
imposition of a penalty on any contractor that does not
comply with the policies, guidance, or regulations issued
pursuant to that section. This section would also amend
section 863 of Public Law 110-181 to require that the Annual
Joint Report on Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan include
information on any penalties imposed on contractors for
failing to comply with requirements under section 861(e) of
Public Law 110-181.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
We are concerned about reports of contractor noncompliance
with relevant policies, guidance, and regulations in
Afghanistan, including contractor noncompliance with
requirements to provide information for the common databases
identified by section 861(b)(4) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181),
as amended.
We direct the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Secretary of State and the Administrator for the United
States Agency for International Development, to submit to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives, not later than 180 days after enactment of
this Act, a report on contractor compliance in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
At a minimum, the report shall include a detailed
discussion of any outstanding contractor compliance issues or
concerns, including any issues or concerns pertaining to the
provision of information to common databases or the
management thereof; a discussion of any lessons learned in
Iraq or Afghanistan for improving contractor compliance in a
contingency environment; and best practice recommendations
for ensuring contractor compliance in future contingency
contracting operations.
Report on procurement supply chain vulnerabilities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report regarding
how sole source suppliers of components to the Department of
Defense procurement supply chain creates vulnerabilities to
military attack, terrorism, natural disaster, industrial
shock, financial crisis, or geopolitical crisis, such as an
embargo of key raw materials or industrial inputs.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Study on the impact of contracting with veteran-owned small
businesses
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report regarding
impacts of the Department of Defense contracting with small
businesses owned and controlled by veterans and service-
disabled veterans on veteran entrepreneurship and
unemployment; impact on veteran suicide and homelessness; and
the feasibility and expected impacts of implementation of the
small business goals and preferences detailed in section
8127, title 38, United States Code.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The provision does not contain the agreement.
Revisions to requirements relating to justification and
approval of sole-source defense contracts
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would
modify the provisions of the Department of Defense Supplement
to the Federal Acquisition Regulation that implement section
811 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2010 (Public Law 111-84), clarifying the delegable authority
of the head of an agency to make an award.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Revision of Defense Supplement to the Federal Acquisition
Regulation to take into account sourcing laws
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 837) that would
revise the Department of Defense Supplement to the Federal
Acquisition Regulation to implement requirements imposed by
sections 129, 129a, 2330a, 2461, and 2463 of title 10, United
States Code.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Prohibition on purchase of military coins not made in the
United States
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 838) that would
prohibit the purchase of any
[[Page H7923]]
military coins not produced in the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
We note military coins are generally purchased with unit-
level morale funds or funds personally contributed by the
members of the unit and not with appropriated funds.
Compliance with domestic source requirements for footwear
furnished to enlisted members of the Armed Forces upon
their initial entry into the Armed Forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 839) that would
amend section 418 of title 37, United States Code, by
requiring the Department of Defense to issue athletic
footwear compliant with the requirement detailed in section
2533a of title 10, United States Code, to members of the
Armed Forces upon their initial entry in lieu of a cash
allowance.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
We note that Congress passed the Berry Amendment in 1941 to
ensure that American soldiers train and operate, to the
greatest extent practicable, in American-made materials. The
Berry Amendment specifically covers footwear listed in
Federal Supply Class 8430 or 8435.
The Army, in 2001, and the Air Force, in 2008, have moved
away from issuing athletic footwear to new recruits. Instead,
new recruits are given an allowance to acquire athletic
footwear from the service exchange.
During this period of time, no athletic footwear was
available that could have met the requirements of the Berry
Amendment without a waiver. It has been reported that at
least one domestic contractor is now producing such footwear.
Therefore, we direct the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to issue a Sources
Sought to determine whether there are any domestic
manufacturers of Berry Amendment-compliant athletic footwear
that meets the Department's requirements.
We further direct that any responses to the Sources Sought
be evaluated by the Defense Logistics Agency and an
independent entity to determine whether (1) such offered
athletic footwear meets the requirements of the Berry
Amendment and (2) whether Department requirements are
actually met. Such review should consider the various sizes
and fits of athletic shoes offered, cost, and capacity of
suppliers to meet military requirements.
Implementation by Department of Defense of certain
recommendations of the Comptroller General of the United
States on oversight of pensions offered by Department
contractors
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 842) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
assign responsibility within the Department of Defense (DOD)
for oversight of the reasonableness of the pension plans
offered by Department contractors and issue certain guidance
on pension benefits.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
We note that, according to the Government Accountability
Office (GAO), DOD contractors are among the largest sponsors
of defined benefit pension plans in the United States and
also factor pension costs into the price of DOD contracts. We
also note that in its January 2013 report, GAO made the
following recommendations tothe Secretary of Defense in order
to improve oversight, management, and accountability of such
pension plans:
(1) Assign responsibility within the DOD for oversight of
the reasonableness of the pension plans offered by Department
contractors, specifically the value of benefits earned by
participants in such pension plans;
(2) Issue guidance on the measurement of the value of
pension benefits that participants earn in a given year, in
order to permit the Department to obtain a comprehensive
understanding of the total compensation provided to employees
by Department contractors;
(3) Issue guidance on the extent to which defined benefit
pension plans will be included in assessments of the
reasonableness of compensation for executives of Department
contractors; and
(4) Issue guidance for the acquisition organizations of the
Department, including the Defense Contract Management
Activity and Defense Contract Audit Activity, in regards to
the discount rate or rates that are acceptable for Department
contractors to use in calculating person costs for forward
pricing purposes.
We are pleased that the Director, Defense Procurement and
Acquisition Policy, concurred with all such recommendations
in his January 2, 2013 response letter and note that he also
expressed clear intent to implement them. However, we are
concerned that according to GAO, all four recommendations are
yet to be closed. Therefore, we encourage the Secretary of
Defense to move expeditiously to close out implementation of
the recommendations, and to keep the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
informed of the progress.
Report on the elimination of improper payments
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 863) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
report on the Department's plan to implement the
recommendations of the Comptroller General regarding the
elimination of improper payments.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act
The House bill contained a set of provisions (sec. 5001-
5506) that would increase the authority of Chief Information
Officers (CIO) regarding information technology (IT)
investment practices for the 16 major civilian agencies,
including the Department of Defense. The purpose of these
provisions was to increase efficiencies government-wide by
streamlining the acquisition process, increasing
transparency, eliminating duplication and waste, and
strengthening public-private partnerships by empowering the
CIO with greater responsibility for IT systems within a
government agency.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the acquisition of information technology is a
challenge across the Federal Government and that reform of
the information technology acquisition process remains a
priority in the defense committees and the Congress. We
expect to continue working on improvements in this area and
hope to bring a set of comprehensive reforms forward in the
next fiscal year.
Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management
Subtitle A--Department of Defense Management
Revisions to composition of transition plan for defense
business enterprise architecture (sec. 901)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would
revise the definition for legacy systems in section 2222 of
title 10, United States Code, to align with the updated
business systems investment review process.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does contain the provision.
Comptroller General report on potential relocation of Federal
Government tenants onto military installations in the
United States (sec. 902)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would
require the Comptroller General of the United States to
submit a report to Congress regarding potential consolidation
of federal agency facilities onto military installations,
with specific consideration of installations that support
Arctic missions.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment.
Clarification of authority for the command acquisition
executive of the United States Special Operations Command
(sec. 903)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 902) that would make the U.S. Special Operations
Command (USSOCOM) Acquisition Executive subject to the
direction of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)). The provision would
also require the USD(AT&L) to designate an appropriate
official within the Office of the USD(AT&L) to provide such
oversight and direction for those programs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would modify the provision to make clear that
the USSOCOM Acquisition Executive is responsible to the
Commander of USSOCOM for the acquisition of special
operations-peculiar equipment and subordinate to the USD
(AT&L) for all acquisition matters. The provision would not
alter the relationship between the USSOCOM Acquisition
Executive and the Commander of USSOCOM. Further, it is not
the intent of the provision to delay, unnecessarily impede,
or undermine the flexibility of USSOCOM development and
acquisition efforts.
We remain supportive of USSOCOM's unique acquisition
authorities to provide for the special operations-peculiar
requirements of its forces, including rapid acquisition of
urgently needed capabilities for deployed or deploying
special operations forces. Further, we note that the
flexibility inherent in these authorities is important to
ensuring that special operations forces can adapt to the
rapidly evolving nature of global threats. However, given the
significant growth in USSOCOM's budget in recent years and
current fiscal pressures, we believe it is necessary to
clarify civilian oversight of USSOCOM investment programs,
particularly the development and acquisition of special
operations-peculiar platforms.
We note that the John Warner National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364), as amended,
requires the Secretary of Defense to designate a senior
acquisition official within USD (AT&L) to oversee the
exercise of acquisition authority by USSOCOM, among others.
Additionally, section 138 of title 10, United
[[Page H7924]]
States Code, states that the ``principal duty'' of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low
Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) is ``overall supervision
(including oversight of policy and resources) of special
operations activities.'' We believe appropriate civilian
oversight by USD (AT&L) and ASD SOLIC of USSOCOM acquisition
activities is critical to ensuring effective use of taxpayer
funds, particularly with regard to the development and
acquisition of special operations-peculiar platforms and
advanced technology programs that are at greatest risk of
incurring delays and additional costs. Therefore, we direct
the Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional defense
committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of this
act, a directive type memorandum outlining the respective
roles and responsibilities of the USD (AT&L) and ASD SOLIC
with regard to the oversight of USSOCOM acquisition
activities and the mechanisms through which such oversight
will occur.
Streamlining of Department of Defense management headquarters
(sec. 904)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 905) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
develop a plan for streamlining Department of Defense
management headquarters by reducing the size of staffs,
eliminating tiers of management, cutting functions that
provide little or no added value, and consolidating
overlapping and duplicative program offices. The objective is
to reduce aggregate spending for management headquarters by
not less than $100.0 billion over a 10 fiscal-year period
beginning with fiscal year 2015.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement contains the provision with an amendment that
would remove the savings objective from bill language. We
note the Secretary of Defense's recent announcement that he
is seeking $40.0 billion in savings in these areas. We expect
that the Secretary's goal will be met.
We also note that section 113 of title 10, United States
Code, requires the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress
each year a report that contains a comprehensive net
assessment of the defense capabilities and programs of the
armed forces of the United States and its allies as compared
with those of their potential adversaries.
We are concerned that in the course of a review intended to
identify potential efficiencies and cost savings in the
Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) the recommendation
has been made to make the net assessment function subordinate
to another OSD office. Such a change would risk compromising
the independence of the Office of Net Assessment without
achieving significant efficiencies.
Accordingly, we direct the Secretary of Defense to provide
to the congressional defense committees, not later than March
1, 2014, a report that identifies the estimated savings and
efficiencies that would be achieved through the
reorganization or realignment of the Office of Net Assessment
and explains how the Secretary of Defense would ensure the
continuing independence of net assessment and the ability to
report directly to the Secretary, in the event that a
decision were made to modify the organizational structure or
reporting arrangements of the office.
Update of statutory statement of functions of the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff relating to doctrine, training,
and education (sec. 905)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 906), as requested by the Department of Defense, that
would codify the responsibility of the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) by amending section 153 of title 10,
United States Code, to reflect the current joint training,
doctrine, education, and force development functions that are
overseen by the CJCS.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Modification of reference to major Department of Defense
headquarters activities instruction (sec. 906)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 907) that would amend section 194(f) of title 10,
United States Code, to update the reference to Department of
Defense Instruction 5100.73, titled ``Major DOD Headquarters
Activities.''
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement contains the provision.
Personnel security (sec. 907)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 931) that would require major reform of the personnel
security clearance investigation, adjudication, and transfer
processes to improve security and reduce costs. Specifically,
the provision would require:
(1) The Director of Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation to
conduct a comprehensive, comparative analysis of the cost,
schedule, and performance of personnel security
investigations acquired through the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) and through components of the Department of
Defense (DOD);
(2) The Secretary of Defense to develop a plan by October
1, 2014, to acquire investigations through the approach most
advantageous to DOD;
(3) The Secretary and the Director of National Intelligence
(DNI) to develop a joint strategy to modernize all aspects of
personnel security to lower costs and improve security, and
to develop and report annually on metrics that will
demonstrate progress in achieving those objectives;
(4) The Secretary and the DNI to consider, and allow them
to adopt, a series of innovations in security investigation
methods and data sources that have been shown to be effective
through analysis and/or demonstrations;
(5) The Secretary and the DNI to ensure, to the maximum
extent practicable, reciprocal acceptance of clearances; and
(6) Development of benchmarks by which to measure the
current level of reciprocity in clearance transfers and the
costs imposed by delays.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would (1) include the Director of the Office
of Management and Budget along with the Secretary of Defense
and the DNI in the requirement to develop and implement a
strategy to modernize the personnel security process; (2)
require the Secretary and the Directors to consider the
results of ongoing reviews occasioned by unauthorized
disclosures of classified information and by the events at
the Washington Navy Yard; (3) require the strategy to include
a risk-based monitoring approach based on the
responsibilities and accesses of cleared personnel; require
the Comptroller General to conduct a review of the personnel
security process; and require the Suitability and Security
Performance Accountability Council to convene a task force to
examine access to State and local public records of Federal
Fovernment and contractor investigators.
Subtitle B-Space Activities
National security space satellite reporting policy (sec. 911)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 911) that would
amend chapter 135 of title 10, United States Code, to add a
notification, required of the Secretary of Defense, of each
attempt by a foreign actor to disrupt, degrade, or destroy
a U.S. national security space capability. The
notification shall be submitted to the appropriate
congressional committees not later than 48 hours after the
Secretary determines that there is reason to believe such
an attempt occurred. Not later than 10 days after the date
on which the Secretary determines that there is reason to
believe such an attempt occurred, further information
should be provided including the name and a brief
description of the national security space capability that
was impacted by such an attempt; a description of the
attempt, including the foreign actor, the date and time of
the attempt, and any related capability outage and the
mission impact of such outage; and any other information
considered relevant by the Secretary.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that strikes the sense of Congress, provides that
the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) provide
the notice instead of the Secretary, and adds other
information the Commander considers relevant to the notice.
We note that the notice is not intended to be a duplicative
process and should leverage existing STRATCOM anomaly
processes. We further note that this notice is not intended
to be notification of every anomaly instance; this is only
notification when there is reason to believe that there was
an intentional attempt to disrupt, degrade, or destroy a
national security space capability.
National security space defense and protection (sec. 912)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 912) that would
require the Secretary of the Air Force to enter into an
arrangement with the National Research Council to conduct a
review in response to the near-term and long-term threats to
the national security space systems of the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense and the
Director of National Intelligence to enter into an
arrangement with the National Research Council while
requiring, in addition to other elements of the study, the
Council take into account the affordability and technical
risk of recommended courses of action.
Space acquisition strategy (sec. 913)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 913) that would
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the Chief
Information Officer of the Department of Defense, to
establish a strategy for the multi-year procurement of
commercial satellite services.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that changes the report to a briefing within 90
days after the date of enactment with an interim briefing at
the time of the fiscal year 2015 budget submission.
Consistent with the Defense Business Board report, ``Taking
Advantage of Opportunities for Commercial Satellite
Services,'' Report FY13-02, February 2013, we direct the
[[Page H7925]]
Executive Agent for Space to report back to the congressional
defense committees before March 1, 2014, on how this office
will take a more active role in implementing recommendation
10 of the report titled, ``Facilitate future governance by
designating a single DoD organization for procuring all
SATCOM assets and services.''
We understand the U.S. Strategic Command, through the
Defense Information Systems Agency, is involved with
developing a long-term strategy for satellite communications
titled, ``Mix of Media Study.'' We direct the Director of the
Defense Information Systems Agency to brief the congressional
defense committees on this study.
We are concerned about the Department's reliance on 1-year
high-cost commercial satellite communications leases, and
encourage the Department to continue to pursue innovative
acquisition approaches, including multi-year leases and the
procurement of government-owned transponders and payloads on
commercial communication satellites.
Space control mission report (sec. 914)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 914) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees on the space control mission
of the Department of Defense.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that requires an additional element of the report
regarding force levels and structure of the future space
control missions.
We believe the nature of the Department's space control
mission is fundamentally changing from purely collision
avoidance and cataloging space objects, to additionally
ensuring that the United States has, according to section
4(b) of the October 18, 2012, Department of Defense Directive
on Space Policy, ``the capabilities to respond at the time
and place of our choosing'' to ``purposeful interference with
U.S. space systems, including their supporting
infrastructure'' in ensuring the right of ``free access and
use of space.'' Consistent with the space policy directive,
it is incumbent upon the Department to ensure there is a
clear and concise concept of operations which supports the
directive and that the congressional defense committees are
updated on any significant developments as this additional
mission evolves.
Responsive launch (sec. 915)
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 915) that
would require a study by the Department of Defense Executive
Agent for Space on responsive, low-cost launch efforts to
include a review of existing and past operationally
responsive, low-cost launch capabilities; a technology
assessment of various methods to develop an operationally
responsive, low-cost launch capability; and an assessment of
the viability of any other innovative methods, such as
secondary payload adapters on existing launch vehicles. In
addition, this section would require a report from the
Executive Agent for Space regarding the results of the above
mentioned study, as well as a consolidated plan for
development within the Department of an operationally
responsive, low-cost launch capability.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would add as one of the factors the Executive
Agent for Space to consider as part of the study to be the
identification of the conditions or requirements for
responsive launch, which would provide the necessary military
value, such as the requisite payload capacity, timelines for
responsiveness, and the target launch costs. The amendment
would also require a Government Accountability Office (GAO)
review of the report by the Executive Agent for Space. The
GAO may present the results of their review in the form of a
briefing to the congressional defense committees.
Limitation on use of funds for Space Protection Program (sec.
916)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 921) that would limit the amount of money able to be
obligated or expended for the Space Protection Program by $10
million until the Secretary of Defense submitted to the
congressional defense committees a copy of all materials
presented to inform the decision of the Deputy Secretary of
Defense on the counter space strategy of the Department of
Defense during the 3-year period ending on the date of the
enactment of this Act that resulted in significant revisions
to said strategy.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
We agree that the Secretary of Defense should provide the
briefing, report, or other materials that were presented to
the Deputy Secretary of Defense, which includes the Deputy
Secretary Management Action Group briefing materials. We do
not expect new work product to be produced. We expect the
Department of Defense to submit only the materials that were
presented to the Secretary to inform his decision on the way
forward for the counterspace strategy, which would not
include preliminary or background materials.
Eagle Vision system (sec. 917)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1065) that would require the Chief of Staff of the Air
Force, within 180 days of the enactment of this Act, to
submit to the congressional defense committees a report on
the Eagle Vision imagery ground station. The report elements
would include a description and assessment of the Department
of Defense organizations to which the Eagle Vision system
could be transferred, as well as the actions that would need
to be taken prior to a transfer; the potential schedule for a
transfer; and the possible effects of a transfer on the
capabilities or use of the system. The provision would
prohibit the Air Force from making changes to the
organization and management of the program until 90 days
after the submission of the report to Congress.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate committee-reported
provision.
Subtitle C--Defense Intelligence and Intelligence-Related Activities
Revision of Secretary of Defense authority to engage in
commercial activities as security for intelligence
collection activities (sec. 921)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would
modify current statutory authority for the Secretary of
Defense to conduct commercial activities that are necessary
to provide security for authorized intelligence collection
activities abroad undertaken by the Department of Defense.
The provision would remove the requirement that the Secretary
of Defense designate a single office within the Defense
Intelligence Agency to be responsible for the management and
supervision of all commercial activities authorized by the
intelligence commercial activity statute; change the annual
audit requirement to a biennial audit requirement; and add
the congressional defense committees to the reporting
requirement.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would maintain the annual audit requirement.
Department of Defense intelligence priorities (sec. 922)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 922) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to establish a written
policy governing the internal coordination and prioritization
of intelligence priorities of the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, the Joint Staff, the combatant commands, and the
military departments to improve identification of the
intelligence needs of the Department of Defense. This section
would also require the Secretary of Defense to identify any
significant intelligence gaps of the Office of the Secretary
of Defense, the Joint Staff, the combatant commands, and the
military departments.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Defense Clandestine Service (sec. 923)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 923) that would
prohibit the use of 50 percent of the funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act or otherwise available to the
Department of Defense (DOD) for fiscal year 2014 for the
Defense Clandestine Service (DCS) to be obligated or expended
for the DCS until such time as the Secretary of Defense
certifies to the congressional defense committees, the
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of
Representatives, and the Select Committee on Intelligence of
the Senate, that the DCS is designed primarily to fulfill
priorities of the DOD that are unique to the DOD or otherwise
unmet; and provide unique capabilities to the intelligence
community (as defined in section 3(4) of the National
Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a(4))).
This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to
design metrics that will be used to ensure that the DCS is
employed in the manner certified; provide annual assessments
for 5 years based on the metrics established; submit prompt
notifications of any significant changes; and provide
quarterly briefings on deployments and collection activities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 932) that would require the Secretary of Defense,
acting through the Director of Cost Analysis and Program
Evaluation, and in consultation with the Director of National
Intelligence, acting through the Cost Analysis Improvement
Group, and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), to assess the potential cost savings and effectiveness
improvements from consolidating clandestine human
intelligence collection in the National Clandestine Service
managed by the CIA.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Prohibition on National Intelligence Program consolidation
(sec. 924)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 924) that would
prohibit the Secretary of Defense from using any of the funds
authorized to be appropriated or otherwise available to the
Department of Defense during the period beginning on the date
of the enactment of this Act and ending on December 31, 2014,
to execute: the separation of the portion of the Department
of Defense budget designated as part of the National
Intelligence Program from the rest of the Department of
Defense budget; the consolidation of the portion of the
Department of Defense budget designated as part of the
National Intelligence Program within the Department of
Defense budget; or the establishment of a new appropriations
account or appropriations account
[[Page H7926]]
structure for such funds. The provision would also require
the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National
Intelligence to jointly brief the congressional defense and
intelligence committees not later than 30 days after
enactment of this Act on any planning relating to future
execution that has occurred during the past 2 years and any
anticipated future planning and related efforts.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Subtitle D--Cyberspace-Related Matters
Modification of requirement for inventory of Department of
Defense tactical data link systems (sec. 931)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 931) that would
amend section 934 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to include a
requirement that the vulnerabilities of data link systems be
assessed in anti-access or area-denial environments.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Authorities, capabilities, and oversight of the United States
Cyber Command (sec. 932)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 932) that would
require the Defense Science Board to conduct an independent
assessment of the organization, missions, and authorities of
U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 941) that would require the Secretary of
Defense to delegate signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection
authorities to CYBERCOM; provide CYBERCOM with the
infrastructure and equipment to operate independently of the
National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct operations in
cyberspace; provide range capabilities to meet CYBERCOM's
unique requirements for wartime offensive operations;
designate an official within the Office of the Under
Secretary of Defense for Policy to serve as the Secretary's
principal advisor on offensive military cyber operations and
to supervise the organization, manning, and equipping of such
forces; and to establish appropriate training facilities for
cyber personnel. In addition, the provision would express the
sense of Congress that CYBERCOM personnel assigned to support
offensive cyber missions should be funded and managed outside
of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP) and Information
Systems Security Program (ISSP).
The agreement includes the Senate committee-reported
provision with an amendment. The amendment would assign to
the principal advisor responsibility for the overall
supervision of cyber activities in the Department, including
oversight of policy and operational matters, resources,
personnel, acquisition, and technology. In carrying out these
responsibilities, the principal advisor shall create a full-
time cross-functional team of subject-matter experts from the
Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the
military departments, defense agencies, and combatant
commands.
We stress that this construct of an interdepartmental team
under the direction of the principal advisor for cyber is not
intended to be merely a coordinating committee, but will
provide strong leadership through a joint mechanism to
achieve a common purpose and unity of effort in policy,
planning, programming, and oversight to support a complex
mission that spans the entire Department of Defense. We
believe there are good models for effective cross-functional
teams, such as the Joint Inter Agency Task Force-South, which
successfully brings stakeholders together, including their
specific authorities and capabilities, under a single
organization. This team concept requires that members operate
and think holistically, without regard to home institution
loyalties, and receive training in team dynamics and conflict
resolution.
With regard to cyber acquisitions, we note that there is an
existing congressionally-mandated joint entity, the Cyber
Investment Management Board, which is chaired by the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, and the
Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We believe such
organizations should be leveraged to the extent possible in
organizing this cross functional team.
The amendment does not include the requirement for the
Secretary of Defense to delegate SIGINT authority to
CYBERCOM, because the NSA Director has already made such a
delegation. If a decision is made in the future to separate
the positions of NSA Director and Commander of CYBERCOM, it
would be appropriate for this delegation to come directly
from the Secretary of Defense.
The amendment also does not include the sense of the
Congress that CYBERCOM personnel assigned to support
offensive missions should be funded and managed outside of
the MIP and ISSP. We expect the Secretary of Defense to
devise means to ensure that CYBERCOM personnel include non-
career intelligence and cybersecurity officers and enlisted
personnel with experience in combat arms.
We are aware that there are renewed deliberations about the
potential of elevating U.S. Cyber Command from a sub-unified
command to a full unified command. As noted by section 940 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239), we expect to be briefed and consulted
on any such proposal at the time when the Secretary of
Defense makes such a decision. As these policy discussions
progress, we expect the Department to keep the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
informed, upon request, during the quarterly cyber operations
briefings, particularly as they relate to the estimated costs
and policy implications associated with making the U.S. Cyber
Command a unified command.
Mission analysis for cyber operations of Department of
Defense (sec. 933)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 933) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a mission
analysis of Department of Defense cyber operations and to
provide a report on the results of the mission analysis to
the congressional defense committees. It would also require
the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to provide an
assessment of the role of the National Guard in supporting
Department of Defense cyber missions.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 945) that would require the Secretary of
Defense to develop a strategy for using the reserve
components of the armed forces to support the cyber missions
of U.S. Cyber Command, including in support of civil
authorities, and to report to the congressional defense
committees on this strategy within 180 days of the enactment
of this Act.
The agreement merges these provisions with minor
modifications to each.
Modification of requirement for Report on Department of
Defense Progress in Defending the Department and the
Defense Industrial Base from Cyber Events (sec. 934)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 934) that would
require that the Secretary of Defense provide written
notification to the congressional defense committees within
30 days of the initiation of any investigations carried out
related to the potential compromise of Department of Defense
critical program information related to weapon systems and
other developmental activities, and within 30 days of the
completion of any such investigations. Additionally, the
provision would require a report to be submitted to the
congressional defense committees within 60 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, on all of the known
network cyber intrusions from January 1, 2000, until August
1, 2013, resulting in compromise of critical program
information.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would modify section 935(b)(3) of the Ike
Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2011 (Public Law 111-383) to include an element in the
existing reporting requirement to address the economic
impacts of reported network intrusions.
Additional requirements relating to the software licenses of
the Department of Defense (sec. 935)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 935) that would
require the Chief Information Officer of the Department of
Defense to revise the reporting requirements of section 937
of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013 (Public
Law 112-239) to include new elements that would verify that
the format of the process was verified by an independent
third party, implement processes for validating and reporting
registration and deregistration of new software, and update
the timeline for implementation based on these new
requirements.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the provision with a technical
amendment.
Cyber outreach and threat awareness for small businesses
(sec. 936)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 938) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to establish an outreach and
education program to assist small businesses to help them
understand the cyber threat, and develop plans to protect
their intellectual property and networks.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require a briefing to the congressional
defense committees within 60 days of the enactment of this
Act on options for strengthening outreach and threat
awareness activities for small businesses.
We recognize the challenges faced by industry, especially
small businesses, when it comes to understanding and
defending against advanced cyber threats. There are a number
of initiatives and mechanisms within the Department that
address aspects of this challenge, such as the Defense
Industrial Base Information Assurance/Cyber Security program.
Because these other efforts exist, we believe that new
programs are not needed. We believe, though, that inadequate
attention has been paid to effectively coordinate those
initiatives, focus them on supporting the needs of small
businesses, or attempt to measure the strategic effectiveness
of those programs.
Joint Federated Centers for Trusted Defense Systems for the
Department of Defense (sec. 937)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 942) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
establish a joint software assurance center to serve as a
[[Page H7927]]
resource for securing the software acquired, developed,
maintained, and used in the Department of Defense (DOD). The
provision would require the Secretary to consider whether an
existing center could fulfill the purposes of the required
center.
The provision would require the Secretary, within 180 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, to issue a charter
for the center that lays out: (1) The center's role in
supporting program offices in implementing DOD's supply chain
risk management strategy and policies; (2) The center's
expertise and capabilities; (3) The center's management, in
coordination with the Center for Assured Software (CAS) of
the National Security Agency, of a research and development
program to improve the capability of automated software
analysis tools; and (4) The center's management of the
procurement and distribution of enterprise licenses for such
analysis tools.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would create a federation of capabilities,
rather than a single center, as well as link existing
resources and centers of excellence, for hardware as well as
software assurance. Additionally, the amendment would
emphasize supporting the trusted defense systems strategy,
which includes both software assurance activities, as well as
assurance of hardware components. In assessing the
capabilities that exist throughout the Department that could
be used to support the trusted defense strategy, the
Department shall only create new centers or new resources
when it has conducted a gap analysis that indicates the need
for new resources or capabilities.
We believe that the trusted defense systems strategy
provides a good foundation for guiding the work of these
centers in supporting the acquisition and testing community.
As it relates specifically to software assurance, we further
note that the DOD is in the process of developing a baseline
software assurance policy for the entire life cycle of
covered systems in response to section 933 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law
112-239). We believe that any such guidance and direction for
Department program managers should, where possible, and where
consistent with adequate security for covered systems and the
national security, be consistent with recognized standards,
and should explore options for accepting self-certification
or third-party certification for compliance purposes.
Furthermore, we believe that this software assurance policy
should, where possible, and where consistent with adequate
security for covered systems and the national security, be
developed in compliance with the Office of Management and
Budget Memorandum for Chief Information Officers and Senior
Procurement Executive's titled ``Technology Neutrality,''
dated January 7, 2011. We also believes that any future
software assurance policy that includes requirements
concerning Federal participation in the development and use
of voluntary consensus standards should be conducted in
accordance with the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995, section 272 of title 15, United
States Code, and the Office of Management and Budget Circular
A-119.
Supervision of the acquisition of cloud computing
capabilities (sec. 938)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 943) that would require the Secretary of Defense,
through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics, the Under Secretary of the Defense
for Intelligence, the Chief Information Officer of the
Department of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint
Requirements Oversight Council, to supervise the development
and implementation of plans for the acquisition of cloud
computing capabilities for intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance data analysis in the military services and
defense agencies.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement contains the provision with an amendment that
would make the supervisory requirements apply to all cloud
computing acquisition decisions in excess of $1.0 million.
Cyber vulnerabilities of Department of Defense weapon systems
and tactical communications systems (sec. 939)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 944) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
provide an assessment of the cyber threats to major weapons
systems and tactical communications systems that could emerge
within the next years; an assessment of the cyber
vulnerabilities of major weapons systems and tactical
communications systems; a description of the current strategy
to defend against battlefield cyber attacks; and an estimate
of the costs to correct the vulnerabilities in the future.
That report would be required within 180 days.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the report within 1 year.
Control of the proliferation of cyber weapons (sec. 940)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 946) that would require the President to establish an
interagency process to develop policy to control the
proliferation of cyber weapons through unilateral and
cooperative export controls, law enforcement activities,
financial means, diplomatic engagement, and other means that
the President considers appropriate. The provision would also
require the President to develop a statement of principles
regarding U.S. positions on controlling the proliferation of
cyber weapons to create new opportunities for bilateral and
multilateral cooperation to address this shared threat. The
provision would require the interagency process to produce
recommendations within 270 days of the enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the President, to the extent
practicable, to provide for industry participation in the
interagency process.
Integrated policy to deter adversaries in cyberspace (sec.
941)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 947) that would require the President to establish an
interagency process to develop an integrated policy to deter
adversaries in cyberspace. The provision would require the
President to provide a report to the congressional defense
committees on this policy within 270 days after the enactment
of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information
Assurance Education matters (sec. 942)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 948) that would ensure that Centers of Academic
Excellence (CAEs) in Information Assurance do not lose their
certification as CAEs in fiscal year 2014 as a result of
recent changes in the certification criteria developed by the
National Security Agency (NSA). The provision also would
require the President, in consultation with the Secretary of
Education and with the advice of the National Advisory
Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity, to: (1)
Determine whether information assurance has matured to the
point where the Federal Government should no longer serve as
the accrediting authority for information assurance programs
at institutions of higher education; and (2) Based on that
determination, reform the current practice of NSA developing
the criteria to guide the curricula and certifying the status
of the CAEs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would: (1) Extend the period through which the
current CAEs would preserve their designation to June 30,
2015; (2) Task the Secretary of Defense to thoroughly assess
the CAEs program, the maturity of cybersecurity as an
academic discipline, the role that the Federal Government
should continue to play in developing curricula and
accrediting programs, and the alignment of current processes
with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education; (3)
Require the Secretary to make recommendations for improving
the curricula and designation process and for transitioning
that process from the sole administration of NSA; (4) Require
the Secretary to assess the Department's scholarship for
service program with the CAEs; and (5) Require the Secretary
to submit to Congress a plan for implementing his
recommendations and the results of his assessments. The
provision requires the Secretary to consult with the
Secretary of Homeland Security, a wide variety of others,
including the Director of NSA, and other government
organizations, academia, and the private sector.
Subtitle E--Total Force Management
Reviews of appropriate manpower performance (sec. 951)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 942) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to certify that all
contractor positions performing inherently governmental
functions have been eliminated.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the provision with an amendment that
would extend the requirement contained in section 803(c) of
the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010
(P.L. 111-84) for 3 years and require the Department of
Defense (DOD) Inspector General to report to the
congressional defense committees the Inspector General's
assessment of DOD's efforts to compile the inventory,
including the actions taken to resolve the findings of the
reviews, pursuant to section 2463 of this title.
Six years beyond the original requirement to implement an
inventory of contracted services, DOD has taken its first
steps to implement a November 2011 plan to collect contractor
manpower data from contractors. These steps included
directing components to start collecting direct labor hours
and associated costs from contractors and initiating efforts
to develop and implement a department-wide data collection
system based on the Army's Contractor Manpower Reporting
Application (CMRA) to collect and store inventory data,
including contractor manpower data. Reportedly, DOD officials
estimate that the new system will be available in fiscal year
2014, with DOD components reporting on most of their
contracted services by fiscal year 2016.
We expect DOD to continue to make progress towards
implementing these goals,
[[Page H7928]]
and therefore, have continued the reporting requirements in
section 803(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
fiscal year 2010 (P.L. 111-84) for 3 years. We expect the
Comptroller General to submit a report consistent with that
section including a review of progress made to develop and
implement a department-wide data collection system based on
CMRA.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Redesignation of the Department of the Navy as the Department
of the Navy and Marine Corps
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 901) that would
redesignate the Department of the Navy as the Department of
the Navy and Marine Corps, and redesignate the position of
the Secretary of the Navy as the Secretary of the Navy and
the Marine Corps.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Under Secretary of Defense for Management
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 901) that would convert the position of Deputy Chief
Management Officer (DCMO) to Under Secretary of Defense for
Management (USD(M)) and to designate that position as the
Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the Department of Defense.
This provision would mandate the USD(M) exercise authority,
direction, and control over the Information Assurance
Directorate of the National Security Agency. Additionally,
this provision would unify roles and functions traditionally
formed by the CIO and strengthen the office by making it a
Senate-confirmed position again, but without creating a new
position.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
We note that the Department has recently made the
congressional defense committees aware of a proposal that
addresses the concerns raised by the Senate committee-
reported bill. We will evaluate this proposal before making a
decision on elevating the DCMO and designating that new
position as responsible for the CIO roles.
Report on strategic importance of United States military
installation of the U.S. Pacific Command
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on the
strategic value of each major installation that supports
operations in the U.S. Pacific Command area of
responsibility.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
Transfer of administration of Ocean Research Advisory Panel
from Department of the Navy to National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 904) that would transfer responsibility for
administration of the Ocean Research Advisory Panel from the
Department of the Navy to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Navy broad-area maritime surveillance aircraft
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 933) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
take appropriate actions to modify the Navy's Broad Area
Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) aircraft fleet to provide a
ground moving target indicator (GMTI) collection, processing,
and dissemination capability that is comparable to the
performance of the Air Force's Global Hawk Block 40 Multi-
Platform Radar Insertion Program. The provision would also
require the Secretary to designate the BAMS aircraft fleet as
a joint asset available to support the operational
requirements of the unified combatant commands.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We agree, however, that the Department of Defense should
determine whether a GMTI capability should be integrated into
the Navy's BAMS aircraft fleet, and whether this system
should be a joint asset for the combatant commands.
Therefore, we direct the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Joint
Requirements Oversight Council (JROC), to conduct a study and
provide a report to the appropriate congressional committees
on the JROC's assessment of whether adding a GMTI capability
to the Navy's BAMS aircraft fleet is feasible, affordable,
and advisable by June 2, 2014. For this report, the
appropriate congressional defense committees are the
Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on Appropriations,
and the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate; and
the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on
Appropriations, and the Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence of the House of Representatives.
Limitation on availability of funds for collaborative
cybersecurity activities with China
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 936) that would
prevent appropriated funds to be used for collaborative
cybersecurity activities with the People's Republic of China.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Small business cybersecurity solutions office
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 937) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to
Congress on the feasibility of establishing a small business
cyber technology office to assist small businesses in
providing cybersecurity solutions to the Federal Government.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We recognize the challenges faced by the government in
gaining access to truly innovative solutions for
cybersecurity threats. Many of the most innovative
technologies available to the government come from small
businesses. However, it is also clear that the defense
acquisition system, which can be difficult to navigate even
for large businesses, can pose acute difficulties for small
businesses to be able to find opportunities, respond
effectively to lengthy contracting paperwork, and maintain
compliance with arcane acquisition regulations. Within the
Department of Defense, there exist offices for small and
disadvantaged businesses which have been established to help
support small businesses specifically to navigate these
problems. We recognize the value these organizations already
provide in supporting small businesses, and believe it would
be redundant to create new offices to focus solely on
cybersecurity solutions.
Requirement to ensure sufficient levels of government
oversight of functions closely associated with inherently
governmental functions
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 941) that would
amend sections 129a and 2330a of title 10, United States
Code, to ensure that sufficient levels of government
oversight are in place for contracted services and aligns
current Department of Defense policies related to Total Force
Management.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Title X--General Provisions
Budget Item
Funding for New START Treaty preparatory activities
The funding authorized by this Act would include funds for
activities to prepare to implement nuclear force reductions
to meet the levels prescribed by the New START Treaty.
Elsewhere in this Act, a limitation is included that would
ensure only preparatory activities for such reductions may be
carried out in fiscal year 2014.
Subtitle A--Financial Matters
General transfer authority (sec. 1001)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that would
provide the Department of Defense with $3.5 billion of
general transfer authority in fiscal year 2014.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1001) that would provide the Department
of Defense with $4.0 billion of general transfer authority
in fiscal year 2014.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would provide the Department of Defense with
$5.0 billion of general transfer authority in fiscal year
2014.
Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 1002)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1002) that would
determine the budgetary effects of this Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 4).
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Audit of Department of Defense fiscal year 2018 financial
statements (sec. 1003)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1003) that would
express the sense of Congress regarding the Department of
Defense's ongoing Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness
process and support the goal of audit readiness across the
Department by 2017. This section would also require that a
full and complete audit takes place for fiscal year 2018.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the provision with a technical
amendment.
Authority to transfer funds to the National Nuclear Security
Administration to sustain nuclear weapons modernization
(sec. 1004)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that would
provide the Secretary of Defense the authority to transfer up
to $150.0 million to the nuclear weapons program of the
National Nuclear Security Administration if the amount
authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for
that program is less than $8.4 billion (the amount specified
for fiscal year 2014 in the report required by section 1251
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2010 (Public Law 111-84)).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Subtitle B--Counter-Drug Activities
Extension of authority to support unified counter-drug and
counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1011)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that would
extend, by 1 year, the unified counter-drug and
counterterrorism campaign in the Republic of Colombia
originally
[[Page H7929]]
authorized by section 1021 of the Ronald W. Reagan National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law
108-375), and most recently amended by section 1013 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1011) that would extend, for 2 fiscal years,
the authority of the Secretary of Defense to provide
assistance to support the unified counter-drug and
counterterrorism campaign of the Government of Colombia. The
provision would also incorporate a notification to Congress
to improve transparency of the Department of Defense's use of
this authority.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would modify the extension of the underlying
authority by 1 fiscal year and modify elements of the
notification requirement.
We note that the Government of Colombia has made and
continues to make progress combating narcotics trafficking
and designated foreign terrorist organizations. This type of
flexible authority remains required to assist the Government
of Colombia consolidate its hard-fought gains.
Extension of authority for joint task forces to provide
support to law enforcement agencies conducting counter-
terrorism activities (sec. 1012)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that would
extend, by 1 fiscal year, the support by joint task forces
under section 1022(b) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136), as most
recently amended by section 1011 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1012) to extend by 2 fiscal years the support
under section 1022(b).
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Extension and expansion of authority to provide additional
support for counter-drug activities of certain foreign
governments (sec. 1013)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1013) that would
extend, by 2 years, the authority to provide support for
counter-drug activities of certain foreign governments,
originally authorized by subsection (a)(2) of section 1033 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998
(Public Law 105-85), and most recently amended by section
1006 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1013) that would extend, by 5 years, the authority to
provide support for counter-drug activities of certain
foreign governments under subsection (a)(2) of section 1033
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1998 (Public Law 105-85), as most recently amended by section
1006 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). The provision would also
expand the list of countries eligible to receive support to
include the Governments of Chad, Libya, Mali, and Niger.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would extend the underlying authority for 3
years and expand the list of countries eligible to receive
support.
We direct the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Counternarcotics and Global Threats (DASD CN/GT) to provide a
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate
and the House of Representatives in fiscal year 2014 on the
country plans associated with the four additional countries
under this authority, including a description of the status
of any assistance to be provided or planned to be provided,
how the effectiveness of this assistance is to be measured,
and how this assistance will reinforce other related
Department of Defense activities in the region. The committee
further directs the DASD CN/GT to submit a report updating
the aforementioned committees on the status of these matters
in fiscal year 2015.
Subtitle C--Naval Vessels and Shipyards
Modification of requirements for annual long-range plan for
the construction of naval vessels (sec. 1021)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1026) that would modify section 231 of title 10, United
States Code, to include a requirement to report on the total
cost of construction for each vessel used to determine
estimated levels of annual funding in the report, and an
assessment of the extent of the strategic and operational
risk to national security whenever the number or capabilities
of the naval vessels in the plan do not meet requirements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical/clarifying amendment.
Clarification of sole ownership resulting from ship donations
at no cost to the Navy (sec. 1022)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1021) would
amend subsection (a) of section 7306 of title 10, United
States Code, to clarify that ship donations would be only to
operate the vessel as a museum or memorial for public display
in the United States. This language would provide the Navy
with the flexibility to oversee a vessel donee's actions,
without any implication that the Navy retains ownership of
the vessel. The provision would also prevent the Federal
Government from providing funding for any improvement,
upgrade, modification, maintenance, preservation, or repair
to a vessel donated under this section.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 1024).
The agreement includes this provision, but with
modifications that would prevent the Department of Defense
from providing additional funding for any donated vessel, not
the Federal Government as a whole. These modifications would
allow other federal departments to contribute to ship museums
or ship memorials to the extent that the departments have
authorization to do so.
Availability of funds for retirement or inactivation of
Ticonderoga class cruisers or dock landing ships (sec.
1023)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1022) that would
limit the obligation and expenditure of funds authorized to
be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year
2014 for the retirement, inactivation, or storage of a
cruiser or dock landing ship. This section would provide an
exception for the retirement of the U.S.S. Denver (LPD-9).
The provision would also provide additional transfer
authority for the purpose of providing sufficient
appropriations to support the modernization of seven
cruisers.

require the Secretary, prior to extending or renewing such a
lease, to submit to the congressional defense committees a
notification of the proposed extension or renewal, along with
a detailed description of the term of the proposed contract
and a justification for extending or renewing the lease, as
opposed to obtaining the capability through purchase of such
vessels.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would allow the Secretary of the Navy to
accept and retain payment-in-kind in lieu of monetary payment
for purposes of settling the litigation arising from the
default termination on contract number N00019-88-C-0050 for
development and production of the A-12 aircraft. Also, it is

likely situation over the next 30 years. The CNO should
produce an unclassified report, as well as a classified annex
to that report.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1024)
that would express the sense of Congress that additional
funding should be prioritized toward shipbuilding efforts and
that Department of the Navy budget projections should
realistically anticipate the true investment to meet force
structure goals.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would add several items to the list of issues
to be addressed in the report, including an assessment by the
Commandant of the Marine Corps of: (1) The operational risk
associated with the current and the planned number of ships
of the amphibious assault force; and (2) The capabilities
required to meet the needs of the Marine Corps for future
ships of the amphibious assault force. The amendment would
also delay the required date for the report until 30 days
after the Secretary of Defense submits the annual naval
vessel construction plan required by section 231 of title 10,
United States Code.
Modification of policy relating to major combatant vessels of
the strike forces of the Navy (sec. 1027)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1023) that would repeal section 1012 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law
110-181). That section requires that the Navy build any new
class of major surface combatant and amphibious assault ship
with an integrated nuclear power system, unless the Secretary
of the Navy notifies the congressional defense committees
that, as a result of a cost-benefit analysis, it would not
[[Page H7930]]
be practical for the Navy to design the class of ships with
an integrated nuclear power system.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would amend section 1021 to: (1) delete the

Bay, Cuba, to or within the United States, its territories,
or possessions through December 31, 2014.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1033) that would prohibit the transfer or release of
Guantanamo detainees to the United States during fiscal year
2014, except that the Secretary of Defense could authorize
such a transfer for detention and trial if the Secretary
determines that doing so would be in the U.S. national
security interest and that appropriate actions have been or
will be taken to address any public safety risks that could
arise in connection with the transfer.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Transfers to foreign countries of individuals detained at
United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (sec.
1035)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1033) that would
restrict the Secretary of Defense from transferring or
releasing individuals detained at U.S. Naval Station,
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, (GTMO) to a foreign country or foreign
entity unless the Secretary makes certain specified
certifications to Congress not later than 30 days prior to
any such transfer or release. The restrictions of this
provision would apply through December 31, 2014.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1031) that would authorize two procedures for the
transfer or release of Guantanamo detainees to their country
of origin or another country other than the United States.
The first part of the provision would authorize such
transfers or releases under certain specified circumstances,
specifically: (1) If following a review by a Periodic Review
Board, the detainee is determined to no longer be a threat to
U.S. national security; (2) In order to effectuate a court
order; or (3) If a detainee has been tried and acquitted or
tried, convicted, and has served his sentence. The second
part of the provision would allow the Secretary of Defense to
authorize the transfer of Guantanamo detainees overseas only
if he determines, following a rigorous assessment of a number
of specified factors, that doing so would be in the U.S.
national security interest and steps have been or will be
taken to mitigate the risk of recidivism by the individual to
be transferred. The provision would require the Secretary of
Defense to notify Congress of a determination to transfer or
release a Guantanamo detainee not later than 30 days prior to
the transfer or release, and specifies the information that
must be provided as part of such notifications.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would:
(a) narrow the specified circumstances under which
transfers or releases are authorized under the first part of
the provision to only (1) and (2) above;
(b) expand the factors that the Secretary of Defense must
specifically evaluate and consider in making his
determination whether to transfer a Guantanamo detainee
overseas, including the security situation in the country to
which the detainee would be transferred, the presence of
foreign terrorist groups in the recipient country, whether
the recipient country is a state sponsor of terrorism, and
whether the detainee has been tried and acquitted or tried,
convicted, and completed his sentence; and
(c) expand the information that must be included in the
congressional notification provided not later than 30 days
prior to the transfer, including information on any actions
taken to address the risk of reengagement by the detainee in
terrorist activities, a copy of any Periodic Review Board
findings, an assessment of the capacity of the receiving
country, and a description of the Secretary of Defense's
evaluation of the factors to be considered in making the
Secretary's determination in support of the transfer.

provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense
committees a classified report containing certain specified
information relating to detainees at Parwan that have been

also be required to review the classified report to determine
what summary information, if any, can be declassified and
made publicly available, to the maximum extent practicable
consistent with national security.

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the chief defense counsel and the chief
prosecutor must have the same rank.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require that for purposes of any such
military commission trial, the chief defense counsel and the
chief prosecutor must have the same grade. The amendment
would also provide that the Secretary of Defense may
temporarily waive this requirement if the Secretary
determines that compliance with the requirement either would
be infeasible due to the non-availability of qualified
officers of the same grade to fill the billets or would cause
significant disruption to the trial proceedings. The
amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense to
issue guidance to ensure that the offices of the chief
defense counsel and the chief prosecutor receive equitable
resources, personnel support, and logistical support for
conducting their duties in connection with any such military
commission trial. We note that the intent of this requirement
is to ensure fairness and impartiality in the resources and
support provided to each of these offices.

with the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) about the proposed action with respect to
U.S. dual capable aircraft; and, there is a consensus among
NATO member states in support of such action.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment replacing the provisions with a sense of Congress
regarding reductions or consolidations of dual-capable
aircraft. The amendment also requires a notification 90 days
before the date on which the Secretary reduces or
consolidates dual capable aircraft that includes the reason
for the reduction or consolidation, any effects from such
action on the extended deterrence mission of the United
States, the manner in which the military requirements of the
NATO will be met following such actions, a statement by the
Secretary on the response of NATO to such actions, and
whether there is any change in the force posture of Russia
from such actions including nonstrategic nuclear weapons.

(sec. 903) that would establish a council to coordinate
activities related to national leadership command, control,
and communications systems, including the nuclear command,
control, and communications system.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would change the co-chairs of the Council to
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology,

Staff, and would add the Director of the National Security
Agency to the Council. The amendment requires an annual
report by the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, through the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the adequacy of the
President's budget to meet required capabilities of the
nuclear command and control communications system for
national leadership of the United States and the impact, if
any, if annual appropriations do not meet the President's
budget request. The amendment would also seek to add more
transparency to the budget for Nuclear Command and Control
activities. A clerical amendment is made transferring a
provision from 10 U.S.C. 491 regarding anomalies in the
Nuclear Command and Control system to this new provision.
Modification of responsibilities and reporting requirements
of Nuclear Weapons Council (sec. 1053)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1041) that would amend section 179 of title 10, United
States Code, by striking the responsibilities for nuclear
command, control, and communications since another section of
this Act establishes a Council on Oversight of the National
Leadership Command, Control, and Communications System. The
Senate committee-reported bill also contained a provision
adding a new requirement to report on joint activities
between the Department of Defense and the Department of
Energy on nuclear security.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that clarifies the nature of the joint report by
the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. We
believe the information required to be provided in this joint
report should be substantially similar as that provided in
the Joint Surety Report pursuant to National Security
Presidential Directive 28.
Modification of deadline for report on plan for nuclear
weapons stockpile, nuclear weapons complex, nuclear
weapons delivery systems, and nuclear weapons command and
control system (sec. 1054)

Department of Energy's (DOE) and the Department of Defense's
(DOD) strategic deterrent modernization program.
Specifically, the provision would give both departments 60
days after budget submission to deliver the section 1043
report. If a delay is anticipated that is greater than 60
days, DOE and DOD must notify the congressional defense
committees before the President's budget submission and
provide a briefing no later than 30 days after budget
submission.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would move the report deadline to 30 days
after the President's budget submission. The amendment would
also provide that, if it is determined that the report
submission will require longer than 30 days, a briefing will
be provided to the congressional defense committees within 30
days after submission of the budget request. Regardless of
any such determination or briefing, the report would be
required to be submitted no later than 60 days after
submission of the budget request.
Prohibition on elimination of nuclear triad (sec. 1055)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that would
prohibit any of the funds authorized to be appropriated by
this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014 for
the Department of Defense from being obligated or expended to

system of the United States if such reduction, conversion, or
decommissioning would eliminate a leg of the nuclear triad.
This section defines ``nuclear triad'' as: (1) land-based
intercontinental ballistic missiles; (2) submarine-launched
ballistic missiles and their associated ballistic missile
submarines; and (3) nuclear-certified strategic bombers.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar

amendment containing technical corrections.
Implementation of New START Treaty (sec. 1056)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 132) that would amend section 131(a)(1) of the John
Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2007 (P.L. 109-364) by striking the term in a common
capability configuration.
The House bill (section 241) contained a provision that
requires the Secretary of Defense to keep each Minuteman III
silo as of the date of enactment of this Act in a warm status
and that it remains a functioning element of the missile
field and can be made functional with a deployed missile.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1045) that states the Secretary of Defense
may, in a manner consistent with international obligations,
retain missile launch facilities currently supporting up to
800 deployed and non-deployed strategic launchers, maintain
intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) on alert or
operationally deployed status, and preserve ICBM silos in
operational or warm status.
[[Page H7932]]
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1052) that would
provide that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014
for the Department of Defense or the National Nuclear
Security Administration may be obligated or expended to carry
out reductions to the nuclear forces of the United States
required by the New START Treaty until the Secretary of
Defense provides the plan required by section 1042(a) of the
National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2012
(Public Law 112-81) and the President certifies that any
reductions to U.S. nuclear forces below the level required by
the New START Treaty will be carried out only pursuant to a
treaty or international agreement approved according to the
Treaty Clause of the Constitution of the United States or an
affirmative act of Congress.
The agreement includes a provision that would authorize the
use of fiscal year 2014 funds for the purpose of preparing to
implement reductions in nuclear forces necessary to meet the
levels required by the New START Treaty subject to additional
limitations as found in subsection (b) of the agreement. The
agreement requires the Secretary of Defense to include with
the defense budget materials a consolidated budget
justification display that covers each activity associated
with implementation of the New START Treaty. Subsection (b)
of the provision would limit amounts spent for an
environmental assessment for any proposed reduction in ICBM
silos to 50 percent subject to receiving the nuclear force
structure plan required by section 1042(a) of the Fiscal
Year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, which is
unacceptably almost 2 full years late. That plan would be
required to include the various options under
consideration for treaty implementation, along with a
preferred final force structure option, which may be
modified upon the conclusion of the environmental
assessment. That plan would be accompanied by a report
from the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command on his
assessment of the force structure options provided by the
Secretary of Defense, including the preferred final force
structure option. Lastly, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff would be required to certify to the congressional
defense committees that conducting the environmental
assessment will not imperil the ability of the military to
comply with the deployed or non-deployed force levels of
the New START Treaty by February 2018.
The agreement would prohibit the conversion of nuclear
capable B-52 aircraft to conventional aircraft until the
information required under subsection (b) is submitted, and
requires that all B-52s in the inventory remain in a common
conventional weapons employment capability configuration once
nuclear decertification and modification commences for
currently an undetermined quantity of B-52 aircraft.
The agreement would further require a report on
collaboration between the Army, Navy, and Air Force on
activities related to strategic systems to improve
efficiencies, technology sharing, and other benefits.
The agreement would also express a sense of the Congress
that the force structure required by the New START Treaty
should preserve Minuteman III ballistic missile silos in a
warm status and any non-deployed missiles and silos should be
spread amongst the three missile wings in the Air Force ICBM
force.
Finally, the agreement would also include, in another
section of this report accompanying section 4201, an
explanatory statement on the budget for activities to prepare
for the implementation of the New START Treaty.
Retention of capability to redeploy multiple independently
targetable reentry vehicles (sec. 1057)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1056) that would
require the Secretary of the Air Force to ensure that the Air
Force is capable of deploying multiple independently
targetable reentry vehicles to Minuteman III intercontinental
ballistic missiles (ICBM) and any ground-based strategic
deterrent follow-on to such missiles. This section would
require the Secretary to ensure that the Air Force is capable
of commencing such deployment not later than 270 days after
the date on which the President determines such deployment is
necessary.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that changes the 270 days to 180 days and narrows
the requirement to apply only to the Minuteman III ICBM
system.

provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would express the
sense of Congress that, if the United States seeks further
strategic nuclear arms reductions with the Russian Federation
that are below the levels of the New START Treaty, such
reductions should: (1) Be pursued through a mutually
negotiated agreement; (2) Be verifiable; (3) Be pursued
through the treaty-making power of the President; and (4)
Take into account the full range of nuclear weapon
capabilities that threaten the United States and its allies,
including non-strategic nuclear weapon capabilities.
Sense of Congress on compliance with nuclear arms control
treaty obligations (sec. 1061)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1055) that would
express the sense of Congress that the President should
consider not seeking further nuclear arms reductions with a
foreign country that is in noncompliance with its nuclear
arms control treaty obligations.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would express the
sense of Congress that, if the President determines that a
foreign nation is in substantial noncompliance with its
nuclear arms control treaty obligations in a manner that
adversely affects the national security of the United States
or its allies or alliances, the President should take certain
specified steps. These steps include informing Congress of
the President's assessment of the effect of such
noncompliance and the President's plans to resolve such
noncompliance. They also include considering whether, in
light of the noncompliance, the United States should engage
in future nuclear arms control negotiations with the
noncompliant government, and considering the potential effect
of the noncompliance on the consideration by the Senate of a
future nuclear arms reduction treaty with the noncompliant
government.
Senses of Congress on ensuring the modernization of the
nuclear forces of the United States (sec. 1062)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1044) that states it is the policy of the United States
to modernize the nuclear triad and sustain the nuclear
stockpile, its production facilities, and science base, and a
sense of Congress expressing that Congress is committed to
providing the resources needed for this modernization and
that Congress supports the modernization or replacement of
the triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes an amendment that includes an
additional sense of Congress supporting continued upgrades of
the existing B-1B, B-2, and B-52 bomber aircraft, and that

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision, but recommended funding of the current center,
which already exists at the National Defense University, for
$1 million in the budget request for fiscal year 2014.
The agreement includes the House provision.
We note that while such a center currently exists,
additional statutory authorization would allow the center to
be funded collectively by the Department of Defense, the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and other
departments and agencies, rather than rely on discrete
partner funding for each activity. This authorization would
also allow the center to receive funding from other agencies,
states, or other foreign and domestic entities, including
academic and philanthropic organizations, to support
important research in international relations,
counterterrorism, conventional warfare and unconventional
warfare.

Strategic plan for the management of the electromagnetic
spectrum (sec. 1072)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision

extend the authority to provide to other federal agencies
airlift transportation at the same rate the Department of
Defense (DOD) charges its own units for similar
transportation and to expand the authority to include all
means of transportation, not just airlift. The DOD currently
uses this authority to: (1) provide transportation support to
other departments and agencies to increase peacetime
business, and (2) promote the improved use of airlift by
filling excess capacity with paying cargo.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 313).
The agreement includes the House provision.

future requirements of combatant commanders and,
domestically, to strengthen international border security.
The two secretaries and the Administrator would also be
required to submit a report on the status of the plans within
270 days of the date of enactment of this Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar

sense of Congress that DOD and DHS should, consistent with
existing laws and authorities, seek to collaborate on
enhanced U.S. border security, including by identifying
excess property of DOD, if any, that may be suitable for use
by the DHS to support border security efforts. We believe
such collaboration could be useful to increase situational

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Department of Defense Readiness Restoration Fund
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1002) that would establish a Department of Defense
(DOD) Readiness Restoration Fund in order to provide the DOD
with increased flexibility to transfer funds that may be

necessary to address significant shortfalls in funding
otherwise available for the training activities of the armed
forces (including flying hours and steaming days) and the
maintenance of military equipment.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the reductions in discretionary appropriations
and direct spending accounts under section 251A of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2
U.S.C. 901a) were never intended to take effect, the
readiness of the Nation's military is weakened by
sequestration, sequestration has budgetary and cost impacts
beyond the programmatic level, and there is limited
information about these indirect costs to the Federal
Government. It is the sense of Congress that the Government
Accountability Office should report on the long-term
budgetary costs and effects of sequestration, including on
procurement activities and contracts with the Federal
Government.
Sense of Congress regarding the National Guard Counter-
Narcotic Program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1014) that would
express the sense of Congress regarding the importance of the
National Guard Counterdrug Program (CDP) as a tool in
combating drug trafficking into the United States and the
need for continued support and funding of such programs,
especially along the Southwest border.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Department of Defense requests funding
annually to support the National Guard CDP. We believe that
the CDP plays an important role in providing military-
specific capabilities and expertise resident within the
National Guard to support the counterdrug activities of
federal, state, and local authorities. We believe this
support has proven effective in helping to meet national
counterdrug objectives.

personnel, equipment, and facilities-in support of Department
of the Navy capabilities needed to sustain United States
naval forces readinessin the Guam region.

otherwise related to, Al Qaeda; a summary of relevant
information relating to each such group; an assessment of
whether each group is part of or substantially supporting Al
Qaeda or the Taliban, or constitutes an associated force that
is engaged in hostilities against the United States or its
coalition partners; and the criteria used to determine the
nature and extent of each group's relationship to Al Qaeda.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We direct the Secretary of Defense, not later than 120 days
after the enactment of this Act, to provide a briefing to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives that provides definitions and the processes
to determine if an entity is an affiliate, associated force
and/or an adherent of al Qaeda or the Taliban; and an
assessment of the groups or entities that the Department
considers to be affiliates or adherents of al Qaeda.
In consultation with the committees of jurisdiction over
the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 110-
40), we direct the Secretary of State to provide the same
briefing to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate
and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives on the aforementioned matters.

principal responsibility for the coordination and management
of the transfer of individuals detained at U.S. Naval
Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision. We note that
the Secretary of Defense appointed the senior DOD official
responsible for coordinating and managing transfers of
Guantanamo detainees in October 2013.
Summary of information relating to individuals detained at
Guantanamo who became leaders of foreign terrorist groups
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1040A) that

the leadership structure of a foreign terrorist group.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

inside the United States pursuant to the Authorization
for Use of Military Force
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1040B) that

after the Secretary notifies the appropriate congressional
committees that the assessment has begun.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Subsequent to passage by the House of H.R. 1960, the
Department of Defense entered into a contract with the
Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) to carry out the
requirement of section 1045(b). We have been informed that
IDA was given notice to proceed on this work on September 18,
2013, and will be required to submit to the Department its

be submitted by August 29, 2014. We look forward to the
report assembled by IDA and its panel of independent experts.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1058) that would
amend section 1043(a) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to include in

regarding the proper scope and implementation of such
activities.

provided to the maximum extent practical. It is particularly
important for the NDP to have access, upon request, to
information, including appropriate access to previous
studies, data, assumptions, scenarios, analysis, and
recommendations related to the Department's series of
[[Page H7936]]
recent strategy and program reviews such as the Defense

require the Secretary of Defense to provide to the
congressional defense committees an annual report containing
summaries of the Secretary's defense planning guidance and
guidance to the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff for
contingency operation plans. This provision would also
prohibit the obligation or expenditure of 75 percent of the
funds, authorized to be appropriated for operation and
maintenance, defense-wide, for the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, until the Secretary of Defense submits the first

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Last year's statement of managers to accompany the National

provide the congressional defense committees with a briefing
that describes the defense planning guidance, as required by
section 113 of title 10, United States Code, and from which
the budget request submitted was developed. Such a briefing
is particularly important now given the significant changes
in the strategic and fiscal plans currently under
consideration by the Department. For this reason we expect
the Department to provide the required briefing, upon
request, with regard to existing defense policy guidance used
for the Department's fiscal year 2014 budget request. This
briefing will serve as a baseline to help the committees
understand any changes to the guidance that may be adopted in

the equipment, materials, or commodities that are procured,
contracted, or subcontracted for by the U.S. Government to be
transported by CRAF aircraft.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We agree that the Secretary of Defense should provide a
report to the congressional defense committees within 180
days of enactment of this Act that includes assessments of
the following:
(1) The effects on CRAF carriers of section 41106 of title
49, United States Code, and that section's ability to help
the Secretary of Defense support the goals of the National
Airlift Policy and maintain an adequate industrial base for
CRAF carriers;
(2) The percentages of the gross tonnage of the equipment,
materials, or commodities transported on fixed wing aircraft
broken out by organic airlift and specific commercial
carriers;
(4) The volume of outsize and oversize cargo flights, to
include requirements and procedures;
(5) The ability of CRAF carriers to meet requirements to
transport any equipment, materials, or commodities for the
use of U.S. military operations and respond to a humanitarian
disaster; and
(6) Current waiver authorities and whether there is any
need to change those authorities to help the Secretary of
Defense support the goals of the National Airlift Policy and
maintain an adequate industrial base for CRAF carriers.
Transportation of supplies to members of the Armed Forces
from nonprofit organizations
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1082A) that
would insert a new section after section 402 in title 10,
United States Code, to allow the Secretary of Defense to
transport, on a space available basis and without charge,
supplies that have been furnished by a nonprofit organization
and that are intended for distribution to members of the
armed forces.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
The Secretary of Defense informed us that he already has
the authority to accept donations and gifts for the benefit
of our armed forces, but that the Department of Defense has
very limited resources to receive, screen, and transport
donations and gifts.
Protection of tier one task critical assets from
electromagnetic pulse and high-powered microwave systems
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1086) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to certify to the
congressional defense committees that certain defense
critical assets are protected from the adverse effects of
electromagnetic pulses (EMP) and high-powered microwave (HPM)
systems, and to prepare a plan to ensure protected electrical
power for any such assets that are not certified.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
We note that the Department of Defense (DOD) has in place
well-documented policies and practices for the protection of
defense critical infrastructure against a wide variety of
potential threats and hazards. This all-hazards risk
mitigation and protection approach covers both natural
phenomena and man-made hazards and attacks, including EMP and
potential electrical power disruption, and considers both the
probability and severity of potential hazards.
The Department's Defense Critical Infrastructure Protection
(DCIP) program is focused on mission assurance to meet DOD
needs. It performs recurring analyses of infrastructure
vulnerability and risk mitigation options to reduce
vulnerability and enhance mission assurance in a cost-
effective manner. These assessments result in prioritized
plans to mitigate risks to defense critical infrastructure,
which changes as mission requirements change and as
additional redundancy is established. The Department then
takes appropriate risk mitigation steps according to these
prioritized plans.
In reviewing the methodology supporting this
prioritization, we believe DCIP has institutionalized a
process that can address the type of certification process
called for in the House provision, without injecting
unwarranted redundant assessment or planning processes. We
expect the DOD to continue using the DCIP program to review
its assets against EMP and other emerging threats to ensure
ongoing protection efforts supporting mission assurance. We
expect the Department to keep the congressional defense
committees apprised of any significant updates or changes to
the DCIP program, as well as to the status of any specific
infrastructure assets assessed to have a critical
vulnerability to EMP, as they conduct future assessments.
While we believe the Department has a good process for
evaluating the risks and mitigation measures for EMP through
the DCIP program, we believe that a better understanding of
the intelligence community's views on the threats posed by
EMP or HPM systems would be helpful in understanding what
more might be done by DOD to enhance its protective posture.
Therefore, we direct the Director of the Defense Intelligence
Agency to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives,
within 60 days of the enactment of this Act, on the threats
posed to DOD infrastructure by the natural occurrence or
intentional use of EMP or HPM effects.
Compliance of military departments with minimum safe staffing
standards
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1088) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that all military
departments comply with Department of Defense Fire and
Emergency Services Program policy requirements on safe
staffing.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
Determination and disclosure of transportation costs incurred
by Secretary of Defense for congressional trips outside
the United States
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1089) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to determine the cost of the
transportation provided in the case of a trip taken by a
member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives
or Senate in carrying out official duties outside the United
States for which the Department of Defense provides
transportation and to provide a written statement of the cost
not later than 10 days after completion of the trip to the
member, officer, or employee involved and to the Committee on
Armed Services of the Senate or the House of Representatives.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We support public disclosure of official foreign travel by
members, officers, and employees of the House of
Representatives and Senate. To this end, we note that section
1754 (b) of title 22, United States Code, contains reporting
and disclosure requirements
[[Page H7937]]
for congressional travel outside the United States, including
a requirement for reports to be open to public inspection and
published in the Congressional Record. We recognize there are
circumstances under which transportation provided by the
Department of Defense best meets the needs of congressional
delegations, ranging from protecting the safety and security
of the delegation to expediency and accessing destinations
that have little to no commercial air service. We further
note that the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives each maintain policies and
processes to provide further oversight of travel requests by
members and employees of the committees.
Transfer to the Department of Homeland Security of the
Tethered Aerostat Radar System
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1091) that would
authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer to the
Department of Homeland Security the Tethered Aerostat Radar
System (TARS).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the transfer of the TARS program took place
after the House bill was written.
Sale or donation of excess personal property for border
security activities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1092) that would
amend section 2576a of title 10, United States Code, to
permit the Secretary of Defense to transfer personal property
to border security activities in consultation with the
Secretary of Homeland Security.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not contain the provision.
We note that that the Department of Homeland Security can
participate in the sale or donation of excess personal
property for border security activities under the current
law.
We direct the Comptroller General of the United States to
conduct a study of the Department of Defense's process for
disposing of surplus personal property, focusing on: (1) an
overview of how the disposal process works in practice; (2)
the means used to dispose of surplus property; and (3)
recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness
of the current disposal process.
Unmanned aircraft systems and National Airspace
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1093) that would
authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into a memorandum
of understanding with a non-Department of Defense entity that
is engaged in the test range program authorized under section
332(c) of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
(Public Law 112-95) to allow such entity access to non-
regulatory special use airspace if such access: (1) is used
by the entity as part of such test range program; and (2)
does not interfere with the activities of the Secretary or
otherwise interrupt or delay missions or training of the
Department of Defense (DOD). The underlying Act authorized
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to identify up to
six test ranges at which interested parties could develop and
test procedures under which the FAA might allow access to the
National Airspace System on a routine basis.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
However, we agree that: (1) developing established
procedures to integrate unmanned aircraft systems into the
National Airspace System will be very important in allowing
both DOD and non-DOD entities to train with and operate these
systems on a routine basis; and (2) developing these
procedures could include the use of FAA-designated DOD non-
regulatory special use airspace.
Days on which the POW/MIA flag is displayed on certain
federal property
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1094) that would
require that, on federal installations, the National League
of Families POW/MIA Flag be displayed on all days on which
the flag of the United States is displayed.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Sense of Congress on improvised explosive devices
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1095) that would
express the sense of Congress on the use of improvised
explosive devices against members of the United States Armed
Forces or people of the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Sense of Congress to maintain a strong National Guard and
Military Reserve force
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1096) that would
express the sense of Congress that (1) the Secretary of
Defense should make every effort to ensure the Military
Reserve and National Guard forces are sustained by a fully-
manned and fully-funded force and that the United States
fulfill its longstanding commitment to unyielding readiness
in terms of defense; (2) the Secretary of Defense should act
with the knowledge that the National Guard and Reserves are
critical components of the armed forces, particularly as a
means of preserving combat power during a time of budget
austerity; and (3) Congress repudiates proposals to diminish
the National Guard or Reserves and affirms the growth of
these components as circumstances warrant.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Access of employees of congressional support offices to
Department of Defense facilities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1097) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide employees of any
congressional support office who work on issues related to
national security with access to facilities of the Department
of Defense in the same manner, and subject to the same terms
and conditions, as employees of the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We encourage the Secretary of Defense to implement
procedures for providing Pentagon access to employees of
congressional support offices similar to the procedures
currently used to provide access to Government Accountability
Office employees and to keep the Committees on Armed Services
of the Senate and the House of Representatives informed of
the progress of implementing such procedures.
Cost of wars
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1098) that would
require the Department of Defense to post on its public web
site the costs of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that reports on the costs of the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq have been published by the Congressional
Budget Office (CBO) and the Congressional Research Service
(CRS). We further note that CBO reports are publicly
available and published on the Internet, and CRS reports are
available to Members of Congress.
Sense of Congress regarding consideration of foreign
languages and cultures in the building of partner
capacity
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1099) that would
express the sense of Congress that the Department of Defense
(DOD) should take into consideration foreign languages and
cultures in DOD's training, tools and methodologies for
military-to-military activities and building partner
capacity.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision. We encourage
the DOD to incorporate the consideration of foreign languages
and cultures into its training and procedures for engaging in
and benefiting from military-to-military cooperation and
building partner capacity activities.
Sense of Congress regarding preservation of second amendment
rights of active duty military personnel stationed or
residing in the District of Columbia
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1099A) that
would express the sense of Congress that active duty military
personnel who are stationed or residing in the District of
Columbia should be permitted to exercise fully their rights
under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States and therefore should be exempt from the District of
Columbia's restrictions on the possession of firearms.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1101) that would
authorize the head of an executive agency to waive
limitations on the aggregate of basic and premium pay payable
through calendar year 2014 to an employee who performs work
in an overseas location that is in the area of responsibility
of the Commander, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), or a
location that was formerly in CENTCOM but has been moved to
an area of responsibility of the Commander, U.S. Africa
Command, in support of a contingency operation or an
operation in response to a declared emergency. The amount
payable may not exceed the total annual compensation payable
to the Vice President under section 104 of title 3, United
States Code.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
One-year extension of discretionary authority to grant
allowances, benefits, and gratuities to personnel on
official duty in a combat zone (sec. 1102)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that would
authorize temporary discretionary authority to federal
agencies to grant allowances, benefits, and gratuities
comparable to those provided to members of the foreign
service to an agency's civilian employees on official duty in
a combat zone.
[[Page H7938]]
This authority would expire at the end of fiscal year 2015.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Extension of voluntary reduction-in-force authority for
civilian employees of the Department of Defense (sec.
1103)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1103) that would
amend section 3502(f)(5) of title 5, United States Code, to
extend through September 30, 2015, the authority of the
Secretary of Defense or the secretary of a military
department to allow certain civilian employees to volunteer
for reduction-in-force separations.

(sec. 1101) that would amend section 3502(f)(5) of title 5,
United States Code, to extend through September 30, 2018, the
authority of the Secretary of Defense or the secretary of a
military department to allow certain civilian employees to
volunteer for reduction-in-force separations.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Extension of authority to make lump-sum severance payments to
Department of Defense employees (sec. 1104)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1104) that would
amend section 5595(i)(4) of title 5, United States Code, to
extend until October 1, 2018, the authority for the Secretary
of Defense or the secretary of a military department to pay
the total amount of severance pay to an eligible civilian
employee in one lump sum.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1102).
The agreement includes the House provision.
Revision to amount of financial assistance under Department
of Defense Science, Mathematics, and Research for
Transformation (SMART) Defense Education Program and
assessment of STEM and other programs (sec. 1105)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that would
increase the flexibility of the Secretary of Defense to
determine the amount of the financial assistance delivered by
the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation
(SMART) program.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1105).
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment requiring an assessment of the SMART program, as
well as for the National Security Science and Engineering
Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF) program, and a number of
Department of Defense Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
programs.
Extension of program for exchange of information-technology
personnel (sec. 1106)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1106) that would
authorize for an additional 10 years the Information
Technology Exchange Program for the Department of Defense.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with an amendment
that would authorize for an additional 5 years the
Information Technology Exchange Program for the Department of
Defense.
Temporary authorities for certain positions at Department of
Defense research and engineering facilities (sec. 1107)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1107) that would
establish new authorities for the direct hiring and
management of personnel at Department of Defense (DOD)
Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories. Specific
elements addressed qualified candidates possessing a
bachelor's degree, qualified veterans, students, members of
the Senior Executive Service (SES), Senior Scientific
Technical Managers (SSTM), and specially qualified scientific
and professional personnel (known as ST).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1107) that contained a number of similar elements of
the House provision, namely the direct hiring authority for
qualified candidates possessing a bachelor's degree as well
as qualified veteran candidates.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that removes elements relating to students, SESs,
and STs.
We note that there have been concerns raised about the
management of the senior scientific and technical workforce
within DOD laboratories. Therefore, we direct the Under
Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to submit a
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate
and the House of Representatives within 90 days of the
enactment of this Act on challenges to the management of the
scientific and technical workforce of the Department, and
recommendations for possible actions to improve such
management. In preparing this briefing, the Under Secretary
shall work with the relevant science and technology
executives and personnel leadership in the Services to
identify challenges to this workforce and examine
opportunities to change policies and practices to improve the
effectiveness and efficiencies of management procedures and
practices. We note that DOD laboratories need to have
streamlined, effective, and efficient personnel system
practices in order to be competitive employers of world-class
scientific and technical talent.
Furthermore, as a subset of this review, we believe that
the Department should also examine the mechanisms for
bringing in interns and other undergraduate students from
cooperative education programs into the Department's
laboratories to determine if existing means are effective,
and to propose any changes that might be necessary to improve
those programs.
Compliance with law regarding availability of funding for
civilian personnel (sec. 1108)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1108) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations, no
later than 45 days after the enactment of this Act,
implementing the authority provided in subsection (a) of
section 1111 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with an amendment
that would require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe
regulations, no later than 90 days after the enactment of
this Act, implementing the authority provided in subsection
(a) of section 1111 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2010.
Extension of enhanced appointment and compensation authority
for civilian personnel for care and treatment of wounded
and injured members of the Armed Forces (sec. 1109)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1109) that would
amend section 1599c of title 10, United States Code, to
extend through December 31, 2020, the existing authority of
the Secretary of Defense to exercise any authority for the
appointment and pay of health care personnel under chapter 74
of title 38, United States Code, for purposes of recruitment,
employment, and retention of civilian health care
professionals for the Department of Defense. The provision
would repeal the now-obsolete section 1599c requirement for
the service secretaries to develop and implement a strategy
to disseminate the authorities and best practices for the
recruitment of medical and health professionals.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1104).
The agreement includes the House provision.
Legislative Provision Not Adopted
Flexibility in employment and compensation of civilian
faculty at certain additional Department of Defense
schools
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1106) that would amend section 1595(c) of title 10,
United States Code, to add the Defense Institute for Security
Assistance Management and the Joint Special Operations
University to the list of Department of Defense schools at
which the Secretary of Defense may employ and compensate
civilian faculty as the Secretary considers necessary.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Department of Defense and the military
departments have proposed changes over the past several years
to extend the use of civilian faculty employed under title
10, United States Code, at Department of Defense schools and
Professional Military Education (PME) programs that provide
less than 10 months of academic instruction. We believe the
Department and the Services have not applied adequate
rigorous analysis of and justification for these requests.
Section 1124 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law 101-189) expanded the
authority to employ civilian faculty at PME schools beyond
the Naval War College to the National Defense University, the
Army War College and United States Army Command and General
Staff College, the Marine Corps Command and Staff College and
Air University for principal courses of instruction of at
least 10 months. As stated in the Report of the Panel on
Military Education of the One Hundredth Congress of the
Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives, the
intent of the expansion was that intermediate and senior PME
schools were graduate level programs of instruction and
civilian instructors were key to maintaining a high quality
of instruction. The panel believed competitive civilian
faculty could help attract other quality faculty from
civilian education institutions and add depth to the
curriculum, thus improving the quality of instruction. We
believe this principle still applies in today's environment
and that the employment of civilian faculty under title 10,
United States Code, at PME institutions and schools should be
reserved for courses of instruction that are graduate level
in nature.
Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense to review the
civilian faculty requirements for all Department of Defense
and PME schools, universities, and institutes to determine if
there are graduate level courses of instruction that are less
than 10 months in duration that may be authorized the
employment of civilian faculty under title 10, United States
Code. The review should include by-program justification for
the utilization of civilian instructors rather than military
instructors or contract instructors, and an accompanying
cost-benefit analysis. The Secretary of Defense shall submit
the findings of the review and any recommendations for
changes to the employment of civilian faculty to the
Committees on Armed
[[Page H7939]]
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives no
later than March 1, 2015.
Title XII--Matters Relating to Foreign Nations
Subtitle A--Assistance and Training
Modification and extension of authorities relating to program
to build the capacity of foreign military forces (sec.
1201)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that would
extend and modify the authority under section 1206 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006
(Public Law 109-163), as amended, to conduct a program to
build the capacity of foreign military forces to conduct
counterterrorism operations or stability operations (the
``global train and equip program''). The provision would
expand the purposes for which train and equip assistance may
be provided under this program, and expand the types of
security forces that may receive such assistance. The
provision would also require that information be submitted,
as part of the annual budget justification materials, on the
planning and execution of the global train and equip program
for the coming fiscal year. The limitation on funds available
for the program would be increased from $350.0 million to
$425.0 million per fiscal year, and the termination of the
program would be extended until September 30, 2016. Finally,
the House provision would repeal existing authorities for
training and equipping counterterrorism forces in Yemen and
East Africa.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1201) that would extend the authority for the global
train and equip program through fiscal year 2018 and require
a report on counterterrorism-related assistance under the
program.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would maintain the current purposes for which
train and equip assistance may be provided under the program,
specifically building capability relating to the conduct of
counterterrorism operations, and military and stability
operations in conjunction with U.S. forces. The amendment
would expand the types of forces that may receive assistance
under the program to include a foreign country's security
forces with a counterterrorism mission. We recognize that in
certain countries the lead counterterrorism unit is not
located in the Ministry of Defense (MOD).
The provision included in the agreement would also limit
the level of funding available annually for the global train
and equip program to $350.0 million and extend the authority
for the program through fiscal year 2017. In addition, funds
available for fiscal year 2015 would be restricted to no more
than $262.5 million until the Secretary of Defense, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of State, submits a non-binding
report on the proposed planning and execution of fiscal year
2015 programs intended to be conducted or supported under the
authority to build the capacity of a foreign country's
security forces, other than MOD forces, to conduct
counterterrorism operations.
The provision in the agreement would include the reporting
requirement from the Senate provision regarding
counterterrorism-related assistance, but would not include
the House provision's repeal of existing authorities for
training and equipping security forces in Yemen and East
Africa.
Global Security Contingency Fund (sec. 1202)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1203) that would
make certain technical amendments to the authority for the
Global Security Contingency Fund (GSCF) under section 1207 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012
(Public Law 112-81), including changes to the notification
requirements. The provision would also require a report to
the specified congressional committees on the guidance and
processes for the GSCF.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1202) making technical changes to GSCF.
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
and clarifying amendment.
We are concerned about the procedures and processes for
implementation of the GSCF program and the coordination of
GSCF activities with other programs for building partner
capacity. Therefore, the Comptroller General is directed to
conduct a review of the procedures and processes established
by the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of State
(DOS) to administer and implement activities funded by GSCF.
Specifically, the Comptroller General is directed to review:
(1) The process for the DOS and DOD, including the defense
agencies and the combatant commands, to identify proposed
GSCF activities;
(2) The extent to which DOD, in conjunction with DOS, has
procedures in place to review, prioritize, and approve
activities to be funded through GSCF and coordinate those
activities with other programs to build partner capacity; and
(3) The extent to which DOD, in conjunction with DOS, has
developed a monitoring and evaluation framework to measure
the effectiveness of the activities implemented and funded by
the GSCF.
The Comptroller General is directed to submit the report
containing the findings of this review to the relevant
congressional committees by October 1, 2014. For purposes of
this requirement, the relevant congressional committees are
the Committees on Armed Services, Foreign Relations, and
Appropriations of the Senate and the Committees on Armed
Services, Foreign Affairs, and Appropriations of the House of
Representatives.
Training of general purpose forces of the United States Armed
Forces with military and other security forces of
friendly foreign countries (sec. 1203)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1203) that would permit the Secretary of Defense to
authorize training with the military forces or other security
forces of a friendly foreign country in order to prepare the
U.S. armed forces to train the military forces or other
security forces of a friendly foreign country and enhance
interoperability. Training with foreign military forces under
this authority must be in the U.S. national interest and
consistent with U.S. national security strategy as well as
the recent presidential guidance on security sector
assistance.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would: (1) Modify elements of the annual
reporting requirement; (2) Add a section relating to the
types of training authorized; (3) Provide for coordination
and concurrence of the Secretary of State; (4) Establish a
notification requirement; and (5) Define for purposes of the
delivery of the annual report the appropriate congressional
committees.
We are concerned about the deteriorating readiness of U.S.
general purpose forces, particularly ground forces, to
conduct their mission-essential tasks. We intend to monitor
the execution of this authority closely and expect activities
authorized by this provision to be used in a way that most
effectively supports the readiness requirements of U.S.
forces.
Authority to conduct activities to enhance the capability of
foreign countries to respond to incidents involving
weapons of mass destruction (sec. 1204)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1205) that would
authorize the Secretary of Defense, in concurrence with the
Secretary of State, to provide assistance to the military and
civilian response organizations of certain foreign countries
in the region around Syria in order for such countries to
respond effectively to incidents involving weapons of mass
destruction.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1206) that would authorize the Secretary of
Defense to provide such assistance to foreign nations,
without limiting the assistance to countries in the region
around Syria.
The agreement includes a provision that would incorporate
elements of each bill provision. It would provide the
authority for the Secretary of Defense to provide assistance
to the military and civilian first responder organizations of
the nations that border Syria, and to provide such assistance
to other nations if the Secretary notifies the congressional
defense committees of the Secretary's intention to do so. The
provision would also require reports for each year in which
the authority is used, including details on the assistance
provided and the costs incurred. The provision would also
require the Secretary to provide notification if the
Secretary plans to use more than $4.0 million for the program
in a fiscal year. Finally, the authority provided in the
provision would expire after September 30, 2017.
Authorization of National Guard State Partnership Program
(sec. 1205)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1204) that would
codify the National Guard State Partnership Program in
chapter 1 of title 32, United States Code.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of State, to establish a
program for bilateral or multilateral military-to-military
exchanges with the National Guard of a State or territory and
the national military forces of a foreign nation (``State
Partnership Program''). The provision would also require the
publication of new regulations to modify existing regulation
to conform to this new authority; provide certain
authorization for the payment of expenses; require a series
of notifications and reports; repeal Section 1210 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010
(Public Law 111-84; 123 Stat. 2517; 32 U.S.C. 107 note); and
establish a sunset of the underlying authority at the end of
fiscal year 2016.
We intend for engagement with other than the military
forces to be focused--to the maximum extent--on disaster
response or emergency response. For military-to-military
engagement, we anticipate that annual reporting may be done
in tabular format, but that the Department of Defense should
provide a sufficient level of information so that extensive
follow-up is not required. This authority is in no way
intended to preclude National Guard personnel from engaging
with partnered forces under other Department of Defense and
State Department authorities, for example, Joint Combined
Exchange Training (10 U.S.C. 2011) and implementation of
Foreign Military Financing programs (22 U.S.C. 2752).
United States security and assistance strategies in Africa
(sec. 1206)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1204) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to
develop a
[[Page H7940]]
strategic framework for U.S. counterterrorism assistance and
cooperation in North Africa, including but not limited to
programs conducted under the Trans-Sahara Counter Terrorism
Partnership, Operation Enduring Freedom-Trans Sahara, and
other related security assistance activities. The provision
would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report to Congress on the details of this framework, as well
as on lessons-learned from recent developments in Mali and
the region.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical and clarifying amendment. The agreement also
includes provisions that would: (1) Require an interagency
strategy that supports the recent security and political
gains in Somalia; (2) Require a classified intelligence
assessment on al Shabaab; and (3) Designate an existing
senior U.S. Government official with existing interagency
authority for export policy for Africa to coordinate among
various U.S. Government agencies existing export strategies
with the goal of significantly increasing U.S. exports to
Africa.
We also acknowledge that the number of armed robbery at sea
and piracy attacks in the Gulf of Guinea are increasing, with
an ongoing pattern of cargo thefts and robbery, often
occurring in the territorial waters of West and Central
African states. Ongoing piracy and armed robbery at sea in
the Gulf of Guinea pose a threat to international navigation,
security, and the economic development of states in the
region. It has been the U.S. strategy to improve the region's
trade competitiveness and encourage the diversification of
exports beyond natural resources. No later than 90 days after
enactment of this Act, we direct the Secretary of Defense to
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and the House of Representatives on the Department of
Defense strategy to use its existing authorities to build
capacity to combat armed robbery at sea, piracy, and other
maritime threats.
We further note the importance of bringing to justice those
individuals who committed, conspired to commit, attempted to
commit, or aided or abetted in the commission of the
September 11-12, 2012, terrorist attack on the Special
Mission Compound and Annex in Benghazi, Libya. We note that,
in January 2013, the Secretary of State has authorized a
reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the
arrest of those individuals.
Assistance to the Government of Jordan for border security
operations (sec. 1207)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1205) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense,
upon a determination from the President that it is in the
national security interests of the United States, to use up
to $75.0 million of amounts authorized for the Coalition
Support Fund account in fiscal years 2013 and 2014 to support
the border security operations of the Jordanian Armed Forces.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with
the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide
assistance--on a reimbursable basis--to the Government of
Jordan for purposes of supporting their armed forces efforts
to increase security along the border between Jordan and
Syria. Prior to any reimbursement, the provision would
require the Secretary of Defense that the Government of
Jordan is continuing to support and maintain efforts of the
armed forces of Jordan to increase security or sustain
increased security along the border between Jordan and Syria.
Upon such certification, the Secretary of Defense may provide
up to $150.0 million from fiscal year 2014 funds, to be
expended in fiscal years 2014 and 2015.
Support of foreign forces participating in operations to
disarm the Lord's Resistance Army (sec. 1208)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1207) that would authorize the Department of Defense to
obligate not more than $50.0 million in each fiscal year in
operation and maintenance funding to provide logistical
support, services and supplies, and intelligence support to:
(1) The national military forces of Uganda participating in
operations to mitigate or eliminate the threat posed by the
Lord's Resistance Army (LRA); and (2) The national military
forces of any other countries determined by the Secretary of
Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to
be participating in operations to mitigate or eliminate the
threat posed by the LRA. The Secretary's authority would
expire upon the termination of Operation Observant Compass.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1206).
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would: (1) Extend the underlying authority
through the end of fiscal year 2017; (2) Require the
Secretary of Defense to submit a report relating to various
matters associated with the ongoing operation to support
foreign forces; and (3) Prohibit utilizing 25 percent of the
underlying provision until the Secretary submits the required
report to Congress.
We note that the support provided by U.S. military advisors
was unnecessarily restricted due to interpretation of a
combat exclusion clause and therefore removed it from the
existing authority. We believe that U.S. military advisers
should assist their partners with the full-range of
activities short of direct combat. We note this provision
expands the previous authority and increases the authorized
funding level to $50.0 million to provide in-the-field
advice, assistance and support to foreign forces searching
for Joseph Kony and his senior lieutenants, thereby
strengthening the training and capabilities of the foreign
forces to counter the LRA's capabilities in the region. With
this expanded authority, we expect the Department of Defense
to continue their progress towards the mission objectives of
Operation Observant Compass. We remain fully supportive of
this advise and assist operation.
Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq
Commanders' Emergency Response Program in Afghanistan (sec.
1211)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that would
extend through fiscal year 2014 the authority under section
1201 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1619), as amended,
for the Commanders' Emergency Response Program (CERP). The
provision would limit the amount of funds available for the
program to $60.0 million.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1211) that would extend the CERP authority
for one year and would require a report on lessons learned
and best practices from the execution of CERP in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
One-year extension of authority to use funds for
reintegration activities in Afghanistan (sec. 1212)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that would
amend section 1216 of the Ike Skelton National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383),
as amended, to extend the authority to use Department of
Defense funds to support reintegration activities in
Afghanistan and authorize the use of up to $25.0 million for
these purposes.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 1213).
The agreement includes this provision.
Extension of authority for reimbursement of certain coalition
nations for support provided to United States military
operations (sec. 1213)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that would
extend for fiscal year 2014 and modify the authority under
section 1233 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as amended, to provide
reimbursements to certain nations for support provided to
U.S. military operations in Operation Enduring Freedom. The
provision would limit funds available under this authority
(``Coalition Support Funds'') for fiscal year 2014 to $1.5
billion. The provision would also require that, prior to
making reimbursements to Pakistan, the Secretary of Defense
must make certain certifications to the congressional defense
committees, or invoke a national security waiver.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1215) that would extend the authority under
section 1233 of Public Law 110-181, as amended, for fiscal
year 2014. The provision would also extend through fiscal
year 2014 the notification requirements, under section
1232(b)(6) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2008 (122 Stat. 393) as amended, relating to
Coalition Support Funds reimbursements for Pakistan for
support provided by Pakistan. The provision would further
extend the limitations, under section 1227(d) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law
112-239; 126 Stat. 2000), on reimbursements of Pakistan
pending certain certifications regarding Pakistan.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical amendment.
Extension and modification of authority to support operations
and activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in
Iraq (sec. 1214)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1214) that would
extend for fiscal year 2014 the authority under section 1215
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2012 (Public Law 112-81), as amended by section 1211 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-329), for the Secretary of Defense to use up
to $209.0 million in funds to support the operations and
activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq
(OSC-I). The provision would also authorize the OSC-I during
fiscal year 2014 to conduct non-operational training of Iraqi
Ministry of Defense (MOD) personnel in an institutional
environment to build certain capabilities of the Iraqi
security forces.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1212) that would extend for fiscal year 2014
the authority to fund the OSC-I under section 1215 of Public
Law 112-81, as amended. The provision would also authorize
the OSC-I during fiscal year 2014 to conduct non-operational,
institution-based training of Iraqi MOD and Counter Terrorism
Service personnel. Such training would be required to include
elements that promote the observance of and respect for human
rights and fundamental freedoms, military professionalism,
and respect for legitimate civilian authority within Iraq.
The agreement includes the provision in the Senate
committee-reported bill.
[[Page H7941]]
An issue of concern is the safety and security of the
residents of Camp Liberty (Hurriya), Iraq, and impediments to
their resettlement in other countries. We direct the
Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of
Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Attorney
General, to submit a report on the current security situation
at Camp Liberty and efforts to relocate the camp residents to
other countries. The report should include:
(1) A description of the current security situation at Camp
Liberty, the disposition of security resources such as T-
walls and sandbags, and decisions by camp residents on how to
use those resources;
(2) A description of the status review and resettlement
process conducted by the United Nations High Commissioner on
Refugees (UNHCR), a discussion of the degree of cooperation
by camp residents with that process, and an estimate of when
that process is expected to be completed;
(3) An estimate as of the date of the report on the number
of residents still at Camp Liberty, the number of residents
that have received refugee status, the number of residents
that have been relocated (including to which countries), and
the countries that have indicated a willingness to receive
resettled residents; and
(4) A discussion of the steps that would need to be taken
by recipient countries, the UNHCR, and the camp residents to
relocate the residents to other countries.
The report should be provided not later than 120 days after
the date of enactment of this Act to the Committees on
Foreign Relations, Armed Services, Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs and Judiciary of the Senate and the
Committees on Foreign Affairs, Armed Services, Homeland
Security, and Judiciary of the House of Representatives.
One-year extension and modification of authority for program
to develop and carry out infrastructure projects in
Afghanistan (sec. 1215)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1215) that would
extend the authority under section 1217 of the Ike Skelton
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011
(Public Law 111-383), as amended, for the program to build
large-scale infrastructure projects funded by the Afghanistan
Infrastructure Fund (AIF). The provision would limit the
amount available for the AIF in fiscal year 2014 to $279.0
million. The provision would also amend the reporting
elements of the plan that must be submitted to the
appropriate congressional committees prior to the use of AIF
funds in any given fiscal year.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1214) that would extend the authority under section
1217 of Public Law 111-383 and limit AIF funding during
fiscal year 2014 to $250.0 million. It would also require a
report on the plan for transitioning to the Government of
Afghanistan, or a utility owned by the Government of
Afghanistan, the project management of any projects funded
with fiscal year 2014 AIF funds.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with technical
and clarifying amendments. We believe that with the drawdown
of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and the approaching conclusion
of the International Security Assistance Force mission at the
end of December 2014, the justification for the Department of
Defense funding large-scale infrastructure projects in
Afghanistan is increasingly attenuated. We expect that the
Department of Defense will cease AIF funding for any new
large-scale infrastructure projects after fiscal year 2014.
Requirement to withhold Department of Defense assistance to
Afghanistan in amount equivalent to 100 percent of all
taxes assessed by Afghanistan to extent such taxes are
not reimbursed by Afghanistan (sec. 1216)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1217) that would
require the withholding of Department of Defense (DOD)
assistance for Afghanistan during fiscal year 2014 in an
amount equal to the total of all taxes assessed during fiscal
year 2013 by the Government of Afghanistan on assistance
provided by DOD. The Secretary of Defense would be able to
waive this requirement if the Secretary determines that doing
so is necessary to achieve U.S. goals in Afghanistan.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would provide that the requirements of this
section terminate on the date when the Secretary of Defense
notifies the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
House of Representatives that a bilateral security agreement
between the United States and Afghanistan has entered into
force.
Extension of certain authorities for support of foreign
forces supporting or participating with the United States
Armed Forces (sec. 1217)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1216) that would extend through fiscal year 2014 the
authority under section 1234 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181),
as amended, to provide logistical support to coalition
partners in Afghanistan.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would extend
through December 31, 2014, two authorities for supporting
foreign forces participating in coalition operations with
U.S. armed forces. First, the provision would extend the
authority under section 1234 of Public Law 110-181 to provide
logistical support to coalition partners in Afghanistan.
Second, the provision would extend the authority under
section 1202 of the John Warner National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364),
as amended, to use acquisition and cross-servicing agreements
to loan personnel protection equipment to partner nations in
coalition operations and in connection with training for
deployment to such operations. The Department has requested
the extension of both of these authorities in connection with
coalition operations in Afghanistan.
Extension and improvement of the Iraqi special immigrant visa
program (sec. 1218)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1218) that would
make certain improvements to the Iraq Special Immigrant Visa
program.

provision (sec. 1217).
The agreement includes the Senate committee-reported bill
provision with a technical/clarifying amendment.
Improvement of the Afghan special immigrant visa program
(sec. 1219)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1219) that would
make improvements to Afghan Special Immigrant Visa program.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1218).
The agreement includes the Senate committee-reported bill
provision with a technical/clarifying amendment.
Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Afghanistan Post 2014
Report on plans to disrupt and degrade Haqqani Network
activities and finances (sec. 1221)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) that would
modify the report required under section 1230 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law
110-181), as amended, to require additional reporting semi-
annually on: The redeployment of U.S. armed forces from
Afghanistan; the transfer of Department of Defense tasks and
functions to other entities as part of the transition; and
the long-term capability of the Afghan National Security
Forces (ANSF) to sustain infrastructure projects constructed
for the ANSF.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
President to submit to the appropriate committees of Congress
a report on U.S. Government activities and plans to disrupt
and degrade Haqqani Network activities and finances. The
provision sets out specific elements of the report, which
would be required to be submitted not later than 9 months
after the date of enactment of this Act.
Completion of accelerated transition of security
responsibility from United States Armed Forces to the
Afghan National Security Forces (sec. 1222)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that would
set out the policy of the United States and a sense of
Congress relating to the security transition and the post-
2014 U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We expect the Department of Defense to note the cost of any
post-2014 presence in its budget request so that Congress can
appropriately consider the presence and maintain oversight of
U.S. efforts in Afghanistan.
Defense Intelligence Plan (sec. 1223)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the
congressional defense and intelligence committees a plan
regarding defense intelligence assets in relation to the
drawdown of U.S. forces in the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan. The provision would require the plan to include
a description of the defense intelligence assets; a
description of any such assets that are slated to remain in
Afghanistan after December 31, 2014; a description of any
such assets that will be, or have been, reallocated to other
locations outside of the United States; the defense
intelligence priorities that will be, or have been, addressed
with the reallocation of such assets; the necessary
logistics, and operation and maintenance plans, to operate in
the locations where such assets will be, or have been,
reallocated, including personnel, basing, and any host
country agreements; and a description of any such assets that
will be, or have been, returned to the United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Limitation on availability of funds for certain authorities
for Afghanistan (sec. 1224)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1224) that would
restrict the availability of funds for certain authorities in
Afghanistan until 15 days after the Secretary of Defense
certifies that the United States and the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan have concluded a Bilateral Security Agreement
(BSA) that meets certain specified criteria.
The Senate committee-reported bill contains no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would limit the availability of funds for
certain authorities in Afghanistan to no more than 50 percent
of the amount authorized to be appropriated until 15 days
after the Secretary of
[[Page H7942]]
Defense certifies that a BSA has been signed that is in the
national security interest of the United States. The
Secretary of Defense would be authorized to waive the
requirements of this provision if the Secretary determines
that doing so is in the U.S. national security interest. If
the waiver is invoked, the Secretary of Defense is directed
to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives on the basis for the
determination.
We believe that such a BSA should ensure that:
(1) the Department of Defense, its military and civilian
personnel, and its contractors are protected from liability
to pay taxes or other similar charges associated with efforts
to carry out missions in Afghanistan that have been mutually
agreed to between the U.S. Government and the Afghan
Government;
(2) the United States has exclusive legal jurisdiction over
U.S. Armed Forces deployed in Afghanistan;
(3) the right of self-defense of the U.S. military mission
and of U.S. military personnel is not infringed;
(4) the U.S. military in Afghanistan is able to take the
necessary measures to protect other U.S. Government offices
and personnel in Afghanistan; and
(5) the U.S. military has sufficient access to bases and
freedom of movement to carry out such missions and activities
as the President assigns the military in Afghanistan,
including the continuing effort to counter al Qaeda and its
associated forces.
Subtitle D--Matters Relating to Iran
Report on United States military partnership with Gulf
Cooperation Council countries (sec. 1231)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1231) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the
congressional defense committees, within 90 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, on the United States
military partnership with the Gulf Cooperation Council
countries.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
technical/clarifying amendment.
Additional elements in annual report on military power of
Iran (sec. 1232)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that would
amend section 1245 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) by requiring the
Secretary of Defense to provide information on the global
Iranian threat network and how the Iranian threat network
reinforces the grand strategy of the Islamic Republic of
Iran. Additionally, this section would require the Secretary
of Defense to provide a list of gaps in intelligence and to
prioritize those gaps by operational need.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the report to include a section
on Iran's global network of terrorist and criminal groups and
the associated capabilities of those entities.
We urge the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to
describe the Department of Defense's gaps in intelligence
associated with Iran's global network of terrorist and
criminal groups when the Chairman prepares the report
required under section 1231 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
Integrated air and missile defense programs at training
locations in Southwest Asia (sec. 1233)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1234) that would
amend Section 544(c)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961
(22 U.S.C. 2347c(c)(1)) to allow for multilateral missile
defense exercises.
The Senate committee-reported bill included no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Subtitle E--Reports and Other Matters
Two-year extension of authorization for non-conventional

provision (sec. 1231) that would extend the authority of the
Department of Defense to establish, develop, and maintain
non-conventional assisted recovery capabilities for 2
additional years.

(4) the relevance to and coordination with other multilateral
engagement activities and academic institutes supported by
the geographic combatant commanders and State Department; and
(5) any legislative authorities that may be needed to

Additional reports on military and security developments
involving the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (sec.
1245)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1246) that would
amend the report on Military and Security Developments

112-81), to require the Secretary of Defense to submit the
report every 2 years beginning on November 1, 2013, through
November 1, 2017. The section would also require the
Secretary of Defense to submit an update to the report if, in
the Secretary of Defense's estimation, interim events or
developments occurring during the 2-year period between
reports requires an update.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
We note that the only change to section 1236 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 is
that the report will be submitted every 2 years instead of
every year, and interim reports may be submitted, as needed.
We direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretary of State, to
[[Page H7943]]
provide a classified briefing to the appropriate
congressional committees, not later than 270 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, on the following issues
related to the DPRK:
(1) A description of the governmental and economic

provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
We have a pronounced interest in the status of military-to-
military relations between the United States and the Union of

recognize that high standards of military professionalism,

Middle East, Africa as well as the Mediterranean and Atlantic
Ocean. We further note that the United States continues to
have an interest in supporting the stability and security of

Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S) in coordination with

provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note sequestration and budget restrictions are having a
negative impact not only on readiness and modernization
accounts, but also on the ability of the Department of
Defense (DOD) to carry out ongoing missions.
Budgetary restrictions have drastically reduced the ability
of DOD and partner agencies to allocate assets--particularly
as it pertains to intelligence capabilities to the JIATF-S
mission of countering illicit drug trafficking and disruption
of transnational criminal organizations in the SOUTHCOM area
of responsibility.
We believe that the across-the-board sequestration cuts to
the DOD budget are arbitrary and undermine the national
security of the United States. We encourage the Secretary of

operations of the geographic combatant commands, such as the
counternarcotics missions of SOUTHCOM and JIATF-S.

We recognize that the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-
8) 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'' and that ``the President
and the Congress shall determine the nature and quantity of
such defense articles based solely upon their judgment on the
needs of Taiwan, in accordance with procedures established by

defense capability.

nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran.

Title XIII--Cooperative Threat Reduction
Specification of cooperative threat reduction programs and
funds (sec. 1301)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1301) that would

would also require notification to Congress 15 days before
the Secretary of Defense obligates and expends fiscal year
2014 funds for purposes other than those specifically

authority to obligate amounts for a program element under the
CTR program in excess of the amount specifically authorized

amendment that provides that for fiscal years 2014 and 2015
the Department may exceed the 10-percent limitation of
section 5965 of title 22, United States Code for activities
with respect to Syria. This enhanced authority is an
extraordinary measure that is without precedent in the CTR
program, and we will exercise congressional oversight to
ensure the enhanced authority is properly and effectively
used. We expect the Department to balance the need for
destroying the Syrian chemical weapons stockpile, an urgent
national security threat, with the expediency of using the
CTR funds to assist in this effort. Given the fluid and
urgent nature of this endeavor, the amendment contains
enhanced briefing requirements rather than detailed reports.
We expect these briefings to provide the appropriate
congressional committees with the necessary detailed
information to ensure an accounting of the funding provided
under the program while achieving the ultimate goal of
destroying Syria's chemical stockpile. We expect the
Department to provide, without delay, thorough answers to
questions that might arise during these briefings to ensure
adequate oversight in the use of this enhanced authority.
Extension of authority for utilization of contributions to
the cooperative threat reduction program (sec. 1303)

Sense of Congress on commanding officer responsibility for
command climate free of retaliation (sec. 1751)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 540) that would express the sense of Congress that: (1)
commanding officers are responsible for establishing a
command climate in which sexual assault allegations are
properly managed and fairly evaluated and a victim can report
criminal activity, including sexual assault, without fear of
retaliation, including ostracism and group pressure from
other members of the command; (2) the failure of commanding
officers to maintain such a command climate is an appropriate
basis for relief from their command positions; and (3) senior
officers should evaluate subordinate commanding officers on
their performance in establishing a command climate free of
retaliation.

should include in the case file a justification in any
case where these charges are disposed of by non-judicial
punishment or administrative action.

sexual assault, forcible sodomy, or attempts to commit such
offenses, and should do so only when the facts of the case
clearly warrant such discharge; (2) whenever possible,
victims of these offenses should be consulted about the
discharge of the service member; (3) commanding officers
should consider the views of these victims when determining
whether to discharge service members in lieu of court-
martial; and (4) discharges of service members in lieu of
court-martial for the specified offenses should be
characterized as Other Than Honorable.
The House bill contained no similar provision.

Title XXI--Army Military Construction
Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $1.1 billion for military construction and
$556.9 million for family housing for the Army for fiscal
year 2014. The agreement includes authorization of
appropriations of $1.1 billion for military construction and
$556.9 million for family housing for the Army for fiscal
year 2014.
The budget request included $75.0 million for a Command and
Control facility for U.S. Army Pacific. While we support the
requirement for this facility, we are concerned that the unit
cost for this facility is high compared to a standard design
even when accounting for Area Cost Factors. Additionally, we
believe the full amount requested by the Department is not
necessary in light of efforts to reduce the size of
headquarters staffs across the Department. Therefore, the
agreement includes $70.0 million, a reduction of $5.0
million, for this facility.
The budget request included $33.0 million for Host Nation
Support Planning and Design. In light of unobligated balances
in the Planning and Design accounts from previous years, the
agreement reflects a $5.0 million reduction.

We believe that the current agreement between the
Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Army
related to an Army Ranger training area at Camp Frank D.
Merrill in Dahlonega, Georgia, is inadequate to support the
existing missions of the Department of the Army. We note that
Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of Agriculture have
entered into discussions to address procedures for management
and administration of the property that we expect will
ameliorate these concerns. We urge the Secretary of the Army
and the Secretary of Agriculture to expeditiously conclude
these discussions to preserve and enhance the training and
military readiness capacity at Camp Frank D. Merrill. Lastly,
we direct the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees on the status of

brief to the congressional defense committees on
infrastructure costs associated with continued detention
operations at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and would require the

preferred alternative for the KC-46A FTU. Concurrent with
this announcement, the Air Force also requested an amendment

the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees by September 30, 2013,
regarding the costs and benefits of locating various

costs and benefits of leasing compared to purchasing real
estate to support the divert field requirements.
In addition, we note that the Governor of the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands has expressed concerns
regarding the proposed location of the divert field and
whether it should be sited on Saipan or Tinian. As such, we
expect the Secretary of the Air Force to consult with the

Title XXIV--Defense Agencies Military Construction
Budget Items
Summary
The Department of Defense (DOD) requested authorization of
appropriations of $4.0 billion for military construction for
the defense agencies, $150.0 million for energy conservation
projects, $122.5 million for chemical demilitarization
construction, and $57.6 million for family housing for the
defense agencies for fiscal year 2014. The agreement includes
authorization of appropriations of $3.4 billion for military
construction, $150.0 million for energy conservation
projects, $122.5 million for chemical demilitarization
construction, and $57.6 million for family housing for the
defense agencies for fiscal year 2014.
The budget request included $431.0 million for the third
increment of the High Performance Computing Center at Fort
Meade, Maryland. We understand DOD would be unable to expend
the full amount of the budget request in fiscal year 2014
and, therefore, the agreement reflects a $35.0 million
reduction.
The budget request included $265.0 million for an
Ambulatory Health Center at Fort Knox, Kentucky. We
understand DOD would be unable to expend the full amount of
the budget request in fiscal year 2014 and, therefore, the
agreement reflects a $120.0 million reduction.
The budget request included $210.0 million for replacement
of the Public Health Command Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving
Ground, Maryland. We understand DOD would be unable to expend
the full amount of the budget request in fiscal year 2014
and, therefore, the agreement reflects a $135.0 million
reduction.
The budget request included $76.2 million for the second
increment of the Ambulatory Care Center at Joint Base
Andrews, Maryland. We understand DOD would be unable to
expend the full amount of the budget request in fiscal year
2014 and, therefore, the agreement reflects a $38.1 million
reduction.
The budget request included $251.2 million for the fifth
increment of the Hospital Replacement at Fort Bliss, Texas.
We understand DOD would be unable to expend the full amount
of the budget request in fiscal year 2014 and, therefore, the
agreement reflects a $152.1 million reduction.
The budget request included $151.5 million for the third
increment of the Medical Center Replacement at Rhine Ordnance
Barracks, Germany. We understand DOD would be unable to
expend the full amount of the budget request in fiscal year
2014 and, therefore, the agreement reflects a $75.0 million
reduction.
The budget request included $1.8 million for a Tour Bus
Drop Off at the Pentagon Reservation, Virginia. We believe
this project is unjustified given the current fiscal
pressures facing DOD and does little to improve the safety of
visitors to the Pentagon and, therefore, the agreement
includes no funding for this project.
The budget request included $85.0 million for the second
increment of the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Systems Complex
in Deveselu, Romania. We understand that this project was
awarded significantly below the authorized level and,
therefore, the agreement reflects a $5.0 million reduction.
The budget request included $10.0 million for Contingency
Construction. In light of unobligated balances in the
Contingency Construction account from previous years, the
agreement reflects a $10.0 million reduction.
U.S. Special Operations Command Military Construction
Requirements
The budget request included a total of $32.9 million for
three military construction projects that support Special
Operations Forces (SOF) Resiliency and Human Performance
Centers.
The House bill did not authorize the three military
construction projects because of concerns about duplication
of existing physical fitness facilities provided by the
military services and potential conflicts with medical care
provided by the TRICARE Management Activity.
The Senate committee-reported bill included the requested
funds.
The agreement includes the requested funds.
We fully support the intent of the U.S. Special Operations
Command (USSOCOM) Preservation of the Force and Families
(POTFF) initiative. However, we are concerned about the
affordability of USSOCOM's current plan for the POTFF and,
specifically, its projected cost of almost $500.0 million,
including $200.0 million for military construction, across
the future year's defense plan (FYDP) in light of current
budgetary pressures. We are also concerned about the adverse
impact of prioritizing military construction investments to
support the POTFF at the expense of other longstanding
USSOCOM military construction requirements to recapitalize
old and failing facilities. Lastly, we believe that USSOCOM
Major Force Program 11 (MFP-11) military construction funds
should only be used to fulfill ``special operations-
peculiar'' facility requirements and should not be used to
duplicate facilities provided by the military services.
In order to better assess USSOCOM's future military
construction requirements, we direct the Secretary of
Defense, concurrent with the budget request for fiscal year
2015, to provide the congressional defense committees with an
assessment of military construction requirements for USSOCOM
and those necessary to support the USSOCOM POTFF across the
FYDP. This assessment shall include, at a minimum, the
following:
(1) The definition of ``SOF-peculiar'' as it applies to the
use of USSOCOM MFP-11 funding to meet military construction
requirements;
(2) A description of the decision making process for
determining whether a military construction project should be
funded through MFP-11 or by the military services;
(3) An assessment of the feasibility of military
construction investments to support the POTFF initiative, as
outlined in the FYDP, in light of current budgetary
pressures;
(4) The rationale for funding military construction
projects in support of the POTFF initiative, as outlined in
the FYDP, through MFP-11 as opposed to the budgets of the
military services, including a description of any POTFF
military construction requirements that can be satisfied by
the military services;
(5) A prioritized list, by component, of military
construction projects included in the FYDP that support the
POTFF initiative, including cost and location; and
(6) A detailed listing of all military construction
facilities within USSOCOM that are failing or have exceeded
their lifetime of use by component, by function, and by
military base, and a detailed listing of all unfunded USSOCOM
military construction requirements by component, function and
military base.

Title XXV--North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment
Program
Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $239.7 million for military construction in
fiscal year 2014 for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Security Investment Program. The agreement includes
authorization of appropriations of $200.0 million for
military construction in fiscal year 2014 for the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program.
We understand that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Security Investment Program has expended prior year funds
more slowly than anticipated and does not require the full
requested amount for fiscal year 2014. Therefore, the
agreement reflects a $40.0 million reduction.
Legislative Provisions Adopted
Authorized NATO construction and land acquisition projects
(sec. 2501)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2501) that would
authorize the Secretary of Defense to make contributions to

The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2606).
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would prohibit obligation or expenditure of
authorized funds for military construction projects
associated with the 175th Network Warfare Squadron Facility
at Fort Meade, Maryland, or the Cyber/ISR Facility at Martin
State Airport, Maryland, until the Secretary of Defense makes

funds for military construction for fiscal year 2015,
whichever is later.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Title XXVII--Base Realignment and Closure Activities
Summary
The Department of Defense requested $451.4 million for the
ongoing cost of environmental remediation and other
activities necessary to continue implementation of the 1988,
1991, 1993, 1995, and 2005 Base Realignment and Closure
rounds. The agreement includes the requested amount.
[[Page H7958]]
Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations
Authorization of appropriations for Base Realignment and
Closure activities funded through Department of Defense
Base Closure Account (sec. 2701)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2701) that would
authorize appropriations for ongoing activities that are
required to implement the decision of base realignment and
closure activities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2701).
The agreement includes the House provision.
Subtitle B--Other Matters
Prohibition on conducting additional Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) round (sec. 2711)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2711) that would
prohibit funds, appropriated pursuant to an authorization of
appropriations contained in this Act, to be used to propose,
plan for, or execute an additional Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) round.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 2702) that would establish, as a precondition for the
authorization of a future BRAC round, a requirement for the
Department of Defense to submit to Congress a formal review
of overseas military facility structure.
The agreement includes a provision that would make clear
that nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize a
future BRAC round.
We note that the agreement also reduces the budget request
by $8.0 million in Operation and Maintenance, defense-wide
requested by the Department to ``develop recommendations and
manage a new BRAC round.''
Elimination of quarterly certification requirement regarding
availability of military health care in National Capital
Region (sec. 2712)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2712) that would
repeal a quarterly reporting requirement regarding the
capacity of the military health care system in the National
Capital Region.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Report on 2005 base closure and realignment joint basing
initiative (sec. 2713)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 2703) that would require the Deputy Under Secretary of
Defense for Installations and Environment to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees on the 2005 BRAC
joint basing initiative.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment.
Legislative Provision Not Adopted
Consideration of the value of services provided by a local
community to the Armed Forces as part of the economic
analysis in making base realignment or closure decisions
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2713) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to include an accounting of
the value of services that are provided by the local
community to the military as part of the economic analysis
conducted in making any base realignment or closure decision.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe that to the extent services provided by a local
community directly reduce the cost of Department of Defense
operations at a particular installation, such savings should
be included in the evaluation of the fiscal consequences of
proposed base closures and realignments under sections 993
and 2687 of title 10, United States Code. We note that
sections 993 and 2687 of title 10, United States Code, apply
to the Department's authorities to carry out base closures
and realignments below certain thresholds, not a formal base
realignment and closure process which would have to be
specifically authorized by Congress.
Title XXVIII--Military Construction General Provisions
Subtitle A--Military Construction Program and Military Family Housing
Changes
Modification and extension of authority to utilize
unspecified minor military construction authority for
laboratory revitalization projects (sec. 2801)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2801) that would
modify section 2805 of title 10, United States Code, and
allow the threshold of the unspecified minor construction
(UMMC) project to be adjusted based on area cost factors and
modify several unspecified minor military construction
thresholds.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would modify the UMMC threshold for the use of
Operation and Maintenance funds for laboratory revitalization
projects from $2.0 million to $4.0 million and extend the
underlying authority from 2016 to 2018. The agreement does
not include any other changes to UMMC thresholds or area cost
factor adjustments.
We note that, historically, the Department of Defense
laboratory enterprise has not received adequate attention
with regard to the revitalization of its infrastructure.
Given that the laboratory enterprise is crucial to the
development of future technologies that provide our
warfighters a decisive technological edge on the battlefield,
we strongly encourage the Department to place a higher
priority on the revitalization and modernization of
infrastructure across the laboratory enterprise.
Repeal of separate authority to enter into limited
partnerships with private developers of housing (sec.
2802)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2803) that would
repeal the limited authority of the Department of Defense to
enter into partnerships with private developers for the
purpose of providing family housing construction.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Military construction standards to improve force protection
(sec. 2803)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2804) that would
provide additional latitude to the Department of Defense
(DOD) to apply local threat criteria in the design and
construction of DOD facilities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to
submit a report to the congressional defense committees on
current expeditionary physical barrier systems and new
technologies that can be used for force protection and to
provide blast protection.
Application of cash payments received for utilities and
services (sec. 2804)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2805) that would
authorize the secretaries of the military departments,
beginning fiscal year 2014, to credit cash payments received
as compensation for utilities or services provided to
eligible entities that operate family or military
unaccompanied housing projects to the appropriation or
working capital account currently available for the purpose
of furnishing such utilities or services.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2812).
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Repeal of advance notification requirement for use of
military housing investment authority (sec. 2805)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2806) that would
repeal a notification required by section 2875 of title 10,
United States Code.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Additional element for annual report on military housing
privatization projects (sec. 2806)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2807) that would
provide additional oversight and accountability in the
pursuit of military family housing privatization projects to
include an assessment of litigation costs that are being
pursued by the privatization partners.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Policies and requirements regarding overseas military
construction and closure and realignment of United States
military installations in foreign countries (sec. 2807)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 2801) that would require all future military
construction projects funded using in-kind payments pursuant
to bilateral agreements with partner nations be submitted for
congressional authorization in the Military Construction
Authorization Act. The provision would also require that DOD
include operational expenses funded through residual value
payments in-kind in the budget justification documents
submitted to Congress in connection with the annual budget
request.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 2811)
that would repeal section 2921 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510)
and consolidate the requirements of overseas basing
notification process in section 2687a of title 10, United
States Code. This section would also remove a redundant
reporting requirement associated with the proposed residual
value of foreign military closure determinations.
The agreement includes a provision that would combine the
two provisions and make other clarifying and technical
modifications to sections 2802 and 2867a of title 10, United
States Code, relating to overseas basing.
Extension and modification of temporary, limited authority to
use operation and maintenance funds for construction
projects in certain areas outside the United States (sec.
2808)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2808) that would
amend section 2808 of the Military Construction Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (division B of Public Law 108-136)
and extend the Department of Defense's ability to use
operation and maintenance appropriations for military
construction purposes in the United States Central Command
(CENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR) and certain countries
in the United States United States Africa Command (AFRICOM)
AOR until September 30, 2014.
[[Page H7959]]
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2802) that would extend the authority and
revise the list of countries in the AFRICOM AOR in which the
authority may be used.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Additionally, we note that the process by which the
Department of Defense receives an authorization from Congress
for military construction projects required to support
overseas contingency operations can be cumbersome and extend
over a long period of time. We also note that the fast pace
of contingency operations, changes in the number of military
forces in theater, and the contributions of partner countries
may result in a change to or elimination of a military
construction requirement in the time between the request to
Congress for an authorization and the actual award of a
construction contract. In order to ensure that funds are not
expended on projects that no longer satisfy a valid military
requirement, we believe the Secretary of Defense should
review the process by which contracts for military
construction projects overseas in connection with a
contingency operation, as defined in section 101(a)(13) of
title 10, United States Code, are awarded and how such
projects are carried out. This review should be conducted
with the objective of developing a methodology to ensure that
any changes in military requirements are taken into account
when making decisions to construct, or continue constructing,
a project.
Limitation on construction projects in European Command area
of responsibility (sec. 2809)
The Senate committee-reported bill decreased authorization
of appropriations from the budget request for military
construction by $463.3 million for certain new military
construction and family housing projects in the U.S. European
Command (EUCOM) area of responsibility.
The House bill contained no similar funding cuts.
The agreement contains authorization of appropriations of
$463.3 million for the projects in EUCOM and includes a new
provision that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense or a
Secretary of a military department from awarding a contract
for any new military construction and family housing project,
with certain exceptions, in the EUCOM area of responsibility
until the Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional
defense committees that the installations and specific
military construction requirements authorized in this Act
have been examined as part of the ongoing European
Infrastructure Consolidation Assessment, have been determined
to be of an enduring nature, and most effectively meet
military requirements at the authorized location.
Subtitle B--Real Property and Facilities Administration
Development of master plans for major military installations
(sec. 2811)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2809) that would
require the consideration of additional elements as part of
master plans for major military installations.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Authority for acceptance of funds to cover administrative
expenses associated with real property leases and
easements (sec. 2812)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 2811) that would amend section 2667 of title 10, United
States Code, to allow for the use of proceeds from leases and
easements to be used to offset administrative costs incurred
by the military departments in entering into and managing
such leases and easements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Modification of authority to enter into long-term contracts
for receipt of utility services as consideration for
utility systems conveyances (sec. 2813)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 2813) that would amend section 2688(d)(2) of title 10,
United States Code, by requiring the Secretary of a military
department, prior to conveying a utility system under this
section, to obtain an independent estimate of the level of
investment that should be required to maintain adequate
operation of the utility system over the term of the
conveyance.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Report on efficient utilization of Department of Defense real
property (sec. 2814)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2809) that would
require a report on the utilization of real property across
the Department of Defense.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Conditions on Department of Defense expansion of Pion Canyon
Maneuver Site, Fort Carson, Colorado (sec. 2815)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2813) that would
place conditions on the expansion of the Pinon Canyon
Maneuver Site in Fort Carson, Colorado.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Subtitle C--Provisions Related to Asia-Pacific Military Realignment
Change from previous calendar year to previous fiscal year
for period covered by annual report of Interagency
Coordination Group of Inspectors General for Guam
Realignment (sec. 2821)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2831) that would
modify the reporting period for the annual Guam realignment
report from calendar year to fiscal year.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2822).
The agreement includes the House provision.
Realignment of Marine Corps forces in Asia-Pacific Region
(sec. 2822)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2832) that would
repeal section 2832 of the Military Construction
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (division B of Public
Law 112-239).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 2821) that would extend the prohibition on funds for
construction activities to implement the realignment of
Marine Corps forces from Okinawa, Japan, with certain
exceptions.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would modify the conditions that must be met
before funds may be obligated to implement the realignment of
Marine Corps forces, provide specific exceptions for the use
of U.S. and Japanese funds, and direct the Secretary of
Defense, as chairperson of the Economic Adjustment Committee
(EAC), to convene the EAC to consider assistance necessary to
support the preferred alternative for the relocation of
Marine Corps forces to Guam.
We note that the agreement includes $85.7 million for an
Aircraft Maintenance Hangar for the Marine Corps at Andersen
Air Force Base and provides a specific exception for the use
of Japanese funds to carry out the construction of a utility
and site improvement project based on assurances from the
Navy that both projects have military value independent of
the movement of Marines from Okinawa to Guam. Specifically,
the construction description of the Aircraft Maintenance
Hangar indicates the project ``supports an enduring support
requirement for 1st MAW [Marine Aircraft Wing] squadrons that
frequently deploy to Guam for training as part of the
bilateral ``Aviation Training Relocation'' (ATR) agreement.''
With regard to the Japanese-funded utility and site
improvement project on the North ramp of Andersen Air Force
Base, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy
for Energy, Installations, and Environment indicated in an
October 28, 2013, letter that the ``project supports current
and future training requirements that will increase the
operational readiness of units in the Pacific Command Area of
Responsibility consistent with the Combatant Commander's
theater objectives and requirements while depressurizing
training airspace in Japan.''
We note that the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement for the siting of a cantonment area and training
range to support the 4,700 Marines to be stationed or
deployed to Guam on a rotational basis should be released in
early 2014. As such, we strongly encourage the Department to
complete, as quickly as possible, the master plan for Guam,
including detailed descriptions of scope, cost estimates, and
timing for each military construction project needed to
support the relocation of Marines to Guam so that Congress
will be able to assess the affordability, feasibility, and
strategic value of the plan. Until then, we believe it is
important to ensure that any funds provided by the
Governments of Japan or the United States are spent on new
facilities that will satisfy valid military requirements. We
believe this approach mitigates the risk of approving the
construction of facilities that have not yet been justified
within the context of a master plan or for which an
Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision have
not been rendered.
Subtitle D--Land Conveyances
Real property acquisition, Naval Base Ventura County,
California (sec. 2831)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2841) that would
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to acquire 300 units of
military family housing constructed under section 801 of the
Military Construction Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-115) at
Naval Base Ventura County, California.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2814).

provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Land conveyance, Camp Williams, Utah (sec. 2835)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2844) that would
require the Secretary of the Interior to transfer 420 acres

in designing the facility. The MOX fuel plant and related
support facilities has risen from an initial cost estimate of
$1.0 billion to $7.7 billion, and it is projected to be at
least 3 years late in its initial operation in 2020. The
Government Accountability Office estimates, through fiscal
year 2036, that the total life cycle cost will exceed $24.2
billion, including actual costs of $5.2 billion for prior
years (fiscal year 1999 to fiscal year 2012). Despite years
of outreach to the nuclear industry, there is currently no
agreement with any utility to use the MOX fuel and it is not
yet clear whether commercial nuclear power plants will even
accept the MOX fuel at market rates or whether the Department
of Energy will have to subsidize, at taxpayers' expense, the
sale of the fuel to make it competitive with commercially
produced low-enriched uranium.
We believe the rising costs associated with the program,
canceled facilities, missed deadlines, and questionable
ability to produce fuel at market prices are unacceptable. We
caution that further cost increases would undermine the
feasibility and affordability of the program. We understand
the Department is now undertaking a strategic review of the
program and other alternatives. We expect to be fully briefed
on this strategic review, including the new cost estimates
and projected construction timeline, and what actions the
Department is taking or will take to reign in the program
costs and, if necessary, consider less costly alternatives
for disposing of the plutonium from retire nuclear weapons.
If the Department of Energy considers any future increases to
the MOX facility, we expect those proposed increases to come
from outside of budget function 050, which funds the Nation's
critical national security priorities. We believe the
Department must make its national security activities its top
priority in budgeting, and expect that critical National
Nuclear Security Administration programs should not become
the source of funds for future increases to the MOX program.
Subtitle A--National Security Programs Authorizations
National Nuclear Security Administration (sec. 3101)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3101) that would
authorize appropriations for the National Nuclear Security
Administration for fiscal year 2014, including funds for
weapons activities, defense nuclear nonproliferation
programs, naval reactor programs, and the Office of the
Administrator, at the levels identified in section 4701 of
division D of this Act. This section would also authorize
several new plant projects for the National Nuclear Security
Administration.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Defense environmental cleanup (sec. 3102)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3102)
authorizing appropriations for the Department of Energy for
fiscal year 2014 for defense environmental cleanup activities
as specified in the funding table in section 4701.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 3102).
The agreement includes this provision.
Other defense activities (sec. 3103)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3103)
authorizing appropriations for the Department of Energy for
fiscal year 2014 for other defense activities as specified in
the funding table in section 4701.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 3103).
The agreement includes this provision.
Subtitle B--Program Authorizations, Restrictions, and Limitations
Clarification of principles of National Nuclear Security
Administration (sec. 3111)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3111) that would
amend section 3211 of the National Nuclear Security
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2401) to clarify the set of
principles with which the National Nuclear Security
Administration must carry out its operations and activities.
Specifically, this section would add the requirement that all
operations and activities of the Administration be conducted
consistent with the principle of ``ensuring the security of
the nuclear weapons, nuclear material, and classified
information in the custody of the Administration.''
[[Page H7964]]
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Cost estimation and program evaluation by National Nuclear
Security Administration (sec. 3112)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that would
amend section 4217 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50
U.S.C. 2537) to require that any independent cost estimate
carried out pursuant to section 4217 be conducted by the
Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director of Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE). The Director would
be authorized to delegate carrying out such cost estimates to
other elements of the Department of Defense. This section
would also provide the Secretary of Defense, in consultation
with the Administrator for Nuclear Security and acting
through the Director of CAPE, the authority to conduct an
independent cost assessment of any initiative or program of
the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) that is
estimated to cost more than $500.0 million.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3111) that would amend the National Nuclear Security
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2401 et. Seq.) to establish an
Office of Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation within NNSA
whose director would be Senate-confirmed. The Senate
committee-reported bill also contained a provision (sec.
3118) that would require any cost estimates submitted
pursuant to section 4217 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act be
submitted in unclassified form, with a classified annex if
necessary.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that changes the Director of the new office from a
Senate-confirmed position to a Senior Executive Service
position. The amendment eliminates the requirement for two
deputy directors, and modifies several of the
responsibilities and authorities of the Director, and would
require a joint implementation plan for the new office to be
submitted by the NNSA Administrator and the Director of DOD's
CAPE.
Given the size of the NNSA's Office of the Administrator of
approximately 1,800 personnel, we believe that requiring the
Director to be a Senior Executive Service officer is adequate
to ensure seniority and credibility within the NNSA. Further,
we believe that the joint NNSA-DOD implementation plan will
be important to standing up this new office. We expect the
DOD CAPE to play an active role in not only training
personnel of the new NNSA office, but helping shape and
ensure quality cost estimates and program evaluations during
the early years of the new NNSA office. We understand that
the work for cost estimation at the NNSA will have periods
between major projects where the personnel from this office
can assist the DOD CAPE on subject matter unique to the NNSA
that is not present in the DOD CAPE office. We encourage as a
matter of good government such collaboration.
The credibility of the NNSA with Congress and other
agencies of the Executive Branch has been hurt by high-
profile failures in cost estimation and program evaluation.
We expect the NNSA to embrace this new Cost Estimation and
Program Evaluation office as a means to help regain its
credibility.
Enhanced procurement authority to manage supply chain risk
(sec. 3113)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3115) that would
provide the Secretary of Energy, given the critical national
security function of the National Nuclear Security
Administration and the Department's Office of Intelligence
functions, with the authority to take certain actions with
regard to the protection of the supply chain of the
Department of Energy (DOE). This authority would replicate
the authority provided to the Department of Defense in
section 806 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) and to the
intelligence community in section 309 of the Intelligence
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-87).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment containing technical changes. The amendment
includes a sunset of the authority 4 years after the date of
enactment, a notice to the appropriate committees within 7
days after a supply chain source exclusion determination is
made, and a review on an annual basis (for 4 years) by the
Comptroller General on the implementation of this section by
the Department of Energy, including on the adequacy of
resources available to perform supply chain source exclusion
determinations.
We note this authority is intended to be used when existing
supply chain management authorities are not sufficient to
protect the national security of the United States. Use of
this authority by DOE is expected to be limited in frequency.
We encourage DOE to partner with supply chain sources, to the
extent practicable, to implement this authority.
Limitation on availability of funds for National Nuclear
Security Administration (sec. 3114)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3116) that would
limit the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or
otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014 for the
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) such that
$139.5 million may not be obligated or expended until the
Administrator for Nuclear Security submits to the
congressional defense committees a detailed plan to achieve
certain planned efficiencies and written certification that
the planned efficiencies will be achieved. If the
Administrator does not submit the plan or is unable to
certify within 60 days of the date of the enactment of this
Act that the efficiencies will be achieved, the Administrator
would be required to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees on the amount of planned efficiencies that
will not be realized and any effects caused by planned but
unrealized efficiencies in the Directed Stockpile Work and
Nuclear Programs accounts. The limitation of funds for NNSA
would not apply to funds authorized to be appropriated for
Directed Stockpile Work, Nuclear Programs, or Naval Reactors,
and should not result in reductions in Laboratory Directed
Research and Development funding. Finally, the limitation on
obligation of funds would not affect the authority of the
Secretary of Energy to reprogram or transfer funding under
sections 4702, 4705, and 4711 of the Atomic Energy Defense
Act (50 U.S.C. 2742, 2745, and 2751).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that provides a rule of construction that the funds
limitation shall not be considered a specific denial of funds
relative to the authorities associated with subsection
(d)(2). The amendment also provides that the amount of funds
limited by this section would be reduced by the amount the
Administrator is able to certify has been saved through the
planned efficiencies.
Limitation on availability of funds for Office of the
Administrator for Nuclear Security (sec. 3115)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3117) that would
limit the availability of funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014
for the National Nuclear Security Administration's Office of
the Administrator to not more than 75 percent until several
statutorily required reports are submitted to Congress in
2013 and 2014.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment containing technical and clarifying changes.
Establishment of Center for Security Technology, Analysis,
Response, and Testing (sec. 3116)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that would
require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to establish a
Center for Security Technology, Analysis, Testing, and
Response within the nuclear security enterprise. The Center
would be responsible for a range of activities, but would
primarily serve to provide the Administrator, the Chief of
Defense Nuclear Security, and the management and operating
contractors of the nuclear security enterprise, a wide range
of objective expertise on security technologies, systems,
analysis, testing, and response forces.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would modify the name of the organization to
the Center for Security Technology, Analysis, Response, and
Testing (CSTART) and authorize the Administrator to provide
additional duties to the center.
Authorization of modular building strategy as an alternative
to the replacement project for the Chemistry and
Metallurgy Research Building, Los Alamos National
Laboratory, New Mexico (sec. 3117)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3116) that would extend section 3144(c) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law
112-239) to permit consideration of a modular building
strategy for engineering and design if it meets long term
stockpile requirements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would change the notice and wait requirement
from 30 to 60 days. The amendment would also add to the
notification required by the Nuclear Weapons Council to the
congressional defense committees such that it includes
notification that the modular strategy: (1) meets
requirements for implementation of a responsive
infrastructure, including meeting plutonium pit production
requirements; and (2) will achieve full operating capability
for not less than two modular structures by not later than
2027.
We are aware that further detail on requirements and plans
for the modular approach are being developed and refined. We
expect the Nuclear Weapons Council to keep Congress informed
as the modular approach is developed and implemented to meet
requirements for pit production and a responsive
infrastructure. Furthermore, we encourage the Administrator
for Nuclear Security and the Nuclear Weapons Council to
expeditiously carry out such efforts to both ensure
construction of a responsive nuclear infrastructure and to
enable a timely transition of nuclear operations out of
decaying and increasingly unsafe facilities such as the
Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building. Finally, we note
the reprogramming action concerning unobligated funds for the
Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement Nuclear
Facility is still pending, and look forward to working with
the Nuclear Weapons Council to resolve the deferred
reprogramming proposal.
[[Page H7965]]
Comparative analysis of warhead life extension options (sec.
3118)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3121) that would
require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Energy,
acting through the Nuclear Weapons Council, to include
several warhead life extension options through all of Phase
6.2 and all of Phase 6.2A of the Joint W78/88-1 Warhead Life
Extension Program. The options are the W78-1 life extension
and the W88-1 life extension.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1043) that would require the Director of Cost
Analysis and Program Evaluation to conduct a similar analysis
of alternatives for the Joint W78/88-1 Warhead Life Extension
Program.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that none of the funds may be obligated or expended
for phase 6.3 of the combined W78/88-1 warhead until the 90
days after the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council
submits a comparative analysis of the alternative options of
life extending the W78-1 and the W88-1 systems individually,
so as to compare to the cost to the combined W78/88-1 warhead
system.
We encourage the Administrator to leverage, for the
purposes of this section, the NNSA Director for Cost
Estimating and Program Evaluation created elsewhere in this
Act, and, during the transition period when the capabilities
of such Director are being stood up, to work jointly with the
Department of Defense Office of Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation.
Extension of authority of Secretary of Energy to enter into
transactions to carry out certain research projects (sec.
3119)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3123) that would
extend section 646(g)(10) of the Department of Energy
Organization Act (P.L. 95-91, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
7256(g)(10)), from September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2020.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Increase in construction design threshold (sec. 3120)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3117) that would increase the major capital
construction design threshold for the National Nuclear
Security Administration from $600,000 to $1.2 million to
account for increased construction costs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would increase the capital construction design
threshold to $1.0 million.
Subtitle C--Plans and Reports
Annual report and certification on status of security of
atomic energy defense facilities (sec. 3121)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3131) that would
amend section 4506 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act to
require that, not later than September 30 of each year, the
Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) submit to the Secretary of Energy and to the
congressional defense committees, a report detailing and
certifying the status of the security of the nuclear security
enterprise, including the status of the security of special
nuclear material, nuclear weapons, and classified information
at each nuclear weapons production facility and national
security laboratory.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 3113) that would require the Secretary of
Energy to certify that the atomic energy defense facilities
of the Department of Energy containing quantities of category
I and II special nuclear material meet Department security
requirements.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Administrator to certify to
the Secretary of Energy that the NNSA facilities containing
quantities of Category I and II special nuclear material meet
NNSA and Department of Energy security standards and
requirements and for those that do not, actions and timelines
to correct any deficiency. The Secretary would be required to
transmit this certification to the congressional defense
committees with any comments of the Secretary by December 1
of each year. The amendment also requires the Secretary to
certify to the congressional defense committees by December 1
each year that atomic energy defense facilities other than
those of the NNSA containing quantities of category I and II
special nuclear materials shall meet Department security
standards and requirements and for those facilities that do
not to develop a correction action plan with timelines to
correct any deficiency.
Modifications to annual reports regarding the condition of
the nuclear weapons stockpile (sec. 3122)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3132) that would
amend section 4205 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50
U.S.C. 2525) to clarify requirements related to the
statutorily required annual assessments regarding the
condition of the nuclear weapons stockpile.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would modify the date that such assessments
are due from the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
Energy to the President to February 1 of each year. The
amendment would also require that, if the report containing
such assessments is not received by the Congress by March 15,
the covered officials under section 4205(b) of the Atomic
Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2525(b)) shall provide a
briefing to the congressional defense committees to ensure
information regarding the status of the stockpile is
available to inform congressional oversight and provide
timely input to the annual legislative cycle.
Inclusion of integrated plutonium strategy in nuclear weapons
stockpile stewardship, management, and infrastructure
plan (sec. 3123)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3115) that would amend the Atomic Energy Defense Act
(50 U.S.C. 2521 et seq.) to provide for a long-term plutonium
strategy for the National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) as part of its Stockpile Stewardship and Management
Plan. Plutonium sustainment is at the core of the NNSA
stockpile mission. This integrated plan would ensure the NNSA
remains focused on its plutonium mission.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would eliminate the external review and
incorporate the requirement for an integrated plutonium
strategy into section 4203 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act
(50 U.S.C. 2523).
Modifications to cost-benefit analyses for competition of
management and operating contracts (sec. 3124)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120) that would
amend section 3121 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to clarify that, if
a management and operating contract awarded by the
Administrator for Nuclear Security is protested, the report
required by such section to be submitted to Congress shall be
submitted not later than 30 days after such protest is
resolved. This section would also require any report under
section 3121 to include a description of the assumptions used
and analysis conducted to determine cost savings expected
from the competition of the contract and exempt contracts for
managing and operating facilities of the Naval Reactors
Program from the requirements of section 3121.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3122) that would amend section 3121(e) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law
112-239) to reduce the number of reports by the Government
Accountability Office (GAO).
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that combines the two provisions, changes the
existing 90-day reporting requirement for the GAO to 180
days, and provides flexibility to ensure the reporting
requirements for both the National Nuclear Security
Administration and the GAO do not interfere with any award
protests.
Modification of deadlines for certain reports relating to
program on scientific engagement for nonproliferation
(sec. 3125)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3123) that would amend section 3122(e) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law
112-239) to require a 30-day notice for extending the program
on scientific engagement for non-proliferation to a new
country. The provision gives the Administrator of the
National Nuclear Security Administration a national security
waiver of the requirement as long as there is a report filed
within 30 days.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would add the Comptroller General to the
program commencement report with its analysis by the
Comptroller General due no later than 18 months after receipt
of the report.
Modification of certain reports on cost containment for
uranium capabilities replacement project (sec. 3126)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3124) that would amend section 3123(f) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (P.L. 112-239)
to change the Government Accountability Office reporting
requirement from the end of project life to 1 year after the
date of enactment in consultation with the congressional
defense committees.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Plan for tank farm waste at Hanford Nuclear Reservation (sec.
3127)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3114) that would
require the Secretary of Energy to submit a comprehensive
plan through 2025 to the congressional defense committees by
March 1, 2014, for the safe and effective retrieval,
treatment, and disposition of nuclear waste contained in the
tank farms of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Richland,
Washington.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Energy to
submit a plan for tank farm waste at Hanford, including the
activities necessary to start operations at the Waste
Treatment and Immobilization
[[Page H7966]]
Plant (WTP) and activities necessary to design, construct,
and operate the WTP and any related infrastructure
facilities. The amendment would require the Secretary to
identify any significant requirements needed to inform such
activities and require the Secretary to determine whether
such requirements are finalized. The Secretary would be
authorized to change any such significant requirements that
are determined to be finalized, but would require prompt
congressional notification of such changes if they have
significant material effect on the schedule or cost of the
project. The plan would be required to be submitted to the
congressional defense committees by June 1, 2014.
Plan for improvement and integration of financial management
of nuclear security enterprise (sec. 3128)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3112) that would require the Administrator of the
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to develop a
plan for a common cost structure between activities at
different sites with the purpose of comparing how efficiently
different sites within the NNSA complex are carrying out
similar activities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the Administrator to submit a
plan for improving and integrating financial management of
the nuclear security enterprise to the congressional defense
committees not later than 1 year after the date of enactment
of this Act.
We direct the Comptroller General of the United States to
review the plan submitted by the Administrator and brief the
congressional defense committees within 60 days of submission
of such plan by the Administrator on the adequacy of this
plan in meeting the objectives set forth in this section and
offer recommendations for improvement.
Plan for developing exascale computing and incorporating such
computing into the stockpile stewardship program (sec.
3129)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3114) that would add a new section to the Atomic Energy
Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2521 et seq.) requiring the
Administrator for Nuclear Security to develop and carry out a
plan to incorporate exascale computing in the stockpile
stewardship program. Such plan would be required to cover the
20-year period after the date of enactment of this Act, and
would be submitted to the congressional defense committees
annually.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the plan to include information
on developing exascale computing, alter the timeframe for the
plan to 10 years after enactment of this Act, and require
inclusion of milestones to be achieved to mitigate
disruptions resulting from the transition to exascale
computing. The amendment would also require that the Future-
Years Nuclear Security Program, report submitted pursuant to
section 3253 of the National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) Act (50 U.S.C. 2453), include a description of the
costs borne by the NNSA, the Department of Energy's Office of
Science, other federal agencies, and industry to develop
exascale computing. Finally, the amendment would eliminate
the requirement for annual reporting on advances outside the
United States in exascale computing and require that the plan
required by this section be submitted with each summary of
the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan submitted to
the congressional defense committees in each even-numbered
year pursuant to section 4203 of the Atomic Energy Defense
Act (50 U.S.C. 2523).
We understand the value of maintaining U.S. leadership in
high performance computing and believe achieving exascale
computing within the next decade must be a national goal.
However, we note that NNSA's top priority must remain
sustainment and modernization of the nuclear weapons
stockpile. High performance computing is an important
capability that underpins these efforts via the stockpile
stewardship program, but the costs of achieving exascale
computing must not be borne by NNSA alone. Due to the broad
benefits exascale would bring to the Federal Government and
the U.S. economy in general, we encourage the Administrator
to partner with and leverage other stakeholders in government
and industry.
Study and plan for extension of certain pilot program
principles (sec. 3130)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3122) that would
make a series of findings related to a pilot program
conducted by the National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) at the Kansas City Plant (KCP) starting in April 2006,
and would require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to
extend the principles of such pilot program. The
Administrator would be required to implement the principles
of the pilot program permanently at the Kansas City Plant and
extend the principles of the pilot program, with
modifications as the Administrator determines appropriate, to
not less than two additional facilities of the nuclear
security enterprise within 1 year after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment requiring a study of the feasibility of extending
the Kansas City Plant pilot program to other National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA) sites with a report to
Congress within 180 days after enactment on the results of
the study and a determination of whether the principles will
be extended. We do not mandate extending the principles. We
also note the on-going work by Comptroller General of the
United States to assess the risks, benefits and applicability
of extending the pilot program to other facilities.
Given the success of the pilot program at the Kansas City
Plant, we direct the Administrator for Nuclear Security and
the Secretary of Energy to ensure, to the greatest extent
possible, that these principles are permanently implemented
at the Kansas City Plant.
Study of potential reuse of nuclear weapon secondaries (sec.
3131)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3142) that would
require the Administrator for Nuclear Security, not later
than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to
conduct a study of the potential reuse of nuclear weapon
secondaries.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Repeal of certain reporting requirements (sec. 3132)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3133) that would
repeal two statutes requiring submission of annual, recurring
reports: (1) a report on Counterintelligence and Security
Practices at National Laboratories required by section 4507
of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2658); and (2) a
report on Advanced Supercomputer Sales to Certain Foreign
Nations contained in section 3157 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment containing technical corrections.
Subtitle D-Other Matters
Clarification of role of Secretary of Energy (sec. 3141)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3143) that would
clarify that the amendment made by section 3113 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239) to section 4102 of the Atomic Energy
Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2512) may not be construed to affect
the authority of the Secretary of Energy, in carrying out
national security programs, with respect to the management,
planning, and oversight of the National Nuclear Security
Administration, or as affecting the delegation by the
Secretary of Energy of authority to carry out such
activities, as set forth under subsection (a) of section
4102, as it existed before the amendment made by section
3113.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
Modification of deadlines for Congressional Advisory Panel on
the Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise (sec.
3142)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3141) that would
amend section 3166 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to modify statutory
deadlines regarding the Congressional Advisory Panel on the
Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise. The advisory
panel's interim report would be due by October 1, 2013,
instead of 180 days after enactment of Public Law 112-239.
Also, the advisory panel's full report would be due March 1,
2014, instead of February 1, 2014. Finally, the advisory
panel would terminate not later than September 30, 2014,
instead of June 1, 2014. This section would also enable the
advisory panel to submit a final report on its activities and
recommendations prior to termination.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3125) that would amend section 3166(d)(1) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239) to extend the date of the interim report
from 180 days after the date of enactment to 180 days after
the first meeting of the advisory panel.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would change the interim report due date to
March 1, 2014 with the full report due by July 1, 2014.
Department of Energy land conveyance (sec. 3143)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3146) that would
convey in fee simple, excess land from the Hanford
Reservation to the Hanford Community Re-Use Organization.
The Senate committee-passed bill had no similar provision.
The agreement includes a provision authorizing the transfer
of the Bannister Federal Complex, Kansas City Missouri, from
the General Services Administration to the National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA), which may convey for
consideration the real property using existing Department
of Energy regulations.
We request monthly reports on the status of the conveyance
of Hanford land to the Hanford Community Re-Use Organization.
In addition, we request a monthly report on the status of
conveying the land at the Hanford reservation to the Hanford
Community Re-Use Organization.
[[Page H7967]]
Technical amendment to Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (sec. 3144)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3144) that would
make a technical amendment to chapter 10 of the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Technical corrections to the National Nuclear Security
Administration Act (sec. 3145)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3131) that would amend the National Nuclear Security
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2401 et seq.) with technical
and clarifying corrections.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Technical corrections to the Atomic Energy Defense Act (sec.
3146)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3132) that would amend the Atomic Energy Defense Act
(42 U.S.C. 2501 et seq.) with technical and clarifying
corrections.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment containing technical and conforming changes.
Sense of Congress on B61-12 life extension program (sec.
3147)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would
express the sense of Congress that, particularly in a
constrained budget environment, the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) should prioritize its primary mission
of sustaining and modernizing the nuclear weapons stockpile
and, if required, shift funding from secondary missions to
ensure critical nuclear weapons modernization programs stay
on schedule and deliver nuclear warheads needed to support
military requirements. This section would also require that,
of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or
otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014 for the Global
Threat Reduction Initiative of the NNSA, not more than 80
percent may be obligated or expended unless, by not later
than 60 days after the date of enactment, the NNSA
Administrator certifies to the congressional defense
committees that the B61 Life Extension Program will deliver a
first production unit in fiscal year 2019.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would express a sense of Congress that the
B61-12 Life Extension Program is a high priority of the NNSA;
that, if necessary to avoid delays, funds should be shifted
from other programs to ensure the B61-12 Life Extension
Program stays on schedule; and that further delays to the
program would undermine the credibility and reliability of
the nation's nuclear deterrent and the extended deterrent
provided by the United States to allies.
Sense of Congress on establishment of an advisory board on
toxic substances and worker health (sec. 3148)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1027) that would
express the sense of Congress that the President should
establish an Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker
Health as part of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Program.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Energy security and assurance
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3104) that would
authorize appropriations for energy security and assurance
programs for fiscal year 2014, at the levels identified in
section 4701 of division D of this Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision as both
budget tables in section 4701 authorized no funding for the
program.
Termination of Department of Energy Employees to Protect
National Security
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3112) that would
authorize the Secretary of Energy to terminate an employee of
the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) or any
element of the Department of Energy (DOE) that involves
nuclear security if the Secretary determines the employee
acted in a manner that endangers the security of special
nuclear material or classified information. To exercise such
authority, the Secretary would have to consider the
termination to be in the interests of the United States and
determine that the termination procedures prescribed by other
provisions of law cannot be invoked in a manner that the
Secretary considers consistent with national security.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
We understand that, following the July 2012 security breach
at the Y-12 National Security Complex by several anti-nuclear
activists, including an octogenarian nun, several federal
employees were reassigned or allowed to retire. However, no
federal employees have been terminated from federal service.
We find this lack of robust accountability to be unacceptable
and dangerous. Multiple reviews since the incident have found
failures at every level contributed to this incident, and
that there has been a distinct failure to take corrective
actions identified by previous security incidents.
For example, senior leaders in the Department of Energy's
Office of Health, Safety, and Security have held top security
policy and oversight positions for well over a decade despite
repeated security failures during this tenure. These same
senior leaders are now inexplicably being counted on to
implement reforms. This is despite the fact that this same
office conducted a review of Y-12's physical security systems
just 2 months prior to the July 2012 break-in and gave Y-12's
security a clean bill of health. This lack of accountability,
whether at senior levels or throughout the DOE, is outrageous
and must not be tolerated.
It is also contrary to the strong leadership and
accountability example set by Secretary of Defense Robert
Gates in 2008 when he fired several top Air Force officials
for significant and repeated nuclear weapon security
failures. Unlike DOE, Secretary Gates sent a strong message
to the Air Force that continuation of the failures would not
be tolerated and officials at all levels were accountable for
failure. Senior officials from the Department of Energy have
indicated that federal employment laws and regulations
prevented or severely impeded termination of any federal
employees in response to the Y-12 incident. If true, we
believe the inability of the Secretary of Energy to fire
federal employees for major security failures would represent
a critical problem and national security risk. Therefore, we
direct the Secretary of Energy to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees by March 15, 2014, on the
authorities available to the Secretary to terminate federal
employees. Such report should include a description of the
authorities available and describe in detail why such
authorities were insufficient to terminate employees in the
aftermath of the Y-12 incident. The report should also
include a list of the officials in the DOE and NNSA structure
that had responsibility for security at Y-12 in July 2012, a
description of any disciplinary actions taken with respect to
such officials, and such officials' current positions.
Finally, the report should also provide a description of the
Secretary's views on accountability for security failures,
whether actions taken in response to the Y-12 incident
conform to these views, and how these views will be applied
in the future.
Assessment of nuclear nonproliferation programs of the
National Nuclear Security Administration
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3121) that would require the National Nuclear Security
Administration to undergo a review of their nuclear
nonproliferation programs by the National Academies of
Science.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
The Comptroller General of the United States is directed to
provide a report to the congressional defense committees
assessing the existing and future nuclear nonproliferation
programs of the National Nuclear Security Administration. The
report shall include the following elements:
(1) An assessment of the threat of nuclear proliferation,
including fissile materials, technology and expertise related
to nuclear weapons, plutonium reprocessing and uranium
enrichment.
(2) The status of nuclear nonproliferation programs of the
National Nuclear Security Administration as of the date of
the enactment of this Act.
(3) An assessment of whether those programs are meeting the
goals of those programs and reducing the assessed threat of
nuclear proliferation including: Preventing nuclear terrorism
by securing and removing highly-enriched uranium and
plutonium worldwide; converting research reactors from
highly-enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium in Russia and
other countries; providing radiation detection capability at
ports and borders; securing and removing radiological
materials worldwide; developing and improving technology to
detect nuclear proliferation and nuclear weapons detonation,
to verify foreign commitments to treaties and agreements with
respect to nuclear weapons, and detect the diversion of
materials, including safeguards technology; and preventing
and countering the proliferation and use of nuclear weapons
(including materials, technology and expertise).
(4) The extent of the work remaining for those programs to
meet those goals, including an estimated timeline and costs
and what gaps remain in those goals.
(5) The nuclear nonproliferation programs of the National
Nuclear Security Administration and nuclear cooperation
agreements with countries that have obtained nuclear weapons
and are not parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of
Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, London, and Moscow July
1, 1968, and entered into force March 5, 1970 (21 UST 483)
(commonly known as the ``Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty'').
(6) The nuclear nonproliferation programs of the National
Nuclear Security Administration and nuclear cooperation
agreements with countries that are non-nuclear weapon state
parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and are
acquiring nuclear materials in violation of commitments under
the Treaty.
(7) The status, level of, and gaps related to, coordination
of the programs of the NNSA and the Department of Energy with
other
[[Page H7968]]
agencies and departments of the Federal Government that have
nuclear nonproliferation responsibilities.
(8) In addition, the report shall include an assessment of
the budget requirements of the NNSA, including the costs
associated with the implementation of nuclear
nonproliferation programs, to reduce the threat of nuclear
proliferation.
We are cognizant that this report may require a significant
effort by the Government Accountability Office. The
Comptroller General of the United States shall provide
quarterly updates on the status of the report with a final
report due no later than August 31, 2015.
Government Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Extension
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3145) that would
permit government owned non-defense transuranic waste to be
disposed of in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant subject to
meeting the waste acceptance criteria outlined in
``Transuranic Waste Acceptance Criteria for the Waste
Isolation Pilot Plant,'' dated April 21, 2011, published by
the Department of Energy.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

authorize the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board at
$29.915 million.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Legislative Provision Not Adopted
Improvements to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3202) that would
amend section 315 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
2286d) to enable the Secretary of Energy to request an
analysis regarding the costs and benefits of any draft or
final recommendation of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety
Board (DNFSB). If the Secretary requests such an analysis,
the Board would be required to transmit such an analysis to
the Department of Energy (DOE) within 30 days and make such
analysis public when the associated recommendation is made
available to the public. Additionally, if the Secretary
requests such an analysis from the Board, the Secretary would
be required to conduct a similar analysis of the costs and
benefits of the recommendation and make such analysis
available to the public. The provision would also amend
section 312 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (U.S.C. 2286a)
to clarify that, in making recommendations to the Secretary
of Energy, the Board must use rigorous, quantitative analysis
and specifically assess the use of various administrative,
passive, and engineered controls for implementing the
recommended measures.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that a variety of independent assessments in recent
years have indicated that DNFSB oversight, coupled with DOE's
history of not challenging DNFSB recommendations, have
contributed to increasing costs within the nuclear security
enterprise that may achieve comparatively small safety
benefits. For instance, a 2011 study of two major DOE defense
nuclear facility construction projects by the Under Secretary
of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD
AT&L) found that ``the current process involving oversight by
the DNFSB is not working well. Differing interpretations of
DOE regulations between the DNFSB, and the DOE and its
contractors have diverted attention and resources for
arguably increased safety.'' The study found that, ``in
certain cases, the DOE has failed to `push back' on DNFSB
recommendations that don't cost-effectively buy down risk,
creating conditions in which the DFNSB becomes a de facto
program manager.'' The USD AT&L report and the 2009 report of
the bipartisan Commission on the Strategic Posture of the
United States ultimately recommended eliminating DNFSB
oversight in favor of regulation of DOE facilities by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
In 2005, a report by the Secretary of Energy's Advisory
Board (SEAB) concluded that, although the DNFSB only issues
recommendations and not requirements, ``their recommendations
have the implicit status of requirements because of the
current lack of a specific mechanism for implementation
assessment.'' The SEAB emphasized that an analysis of the
costs of implementation, safety benefits, and risks of an
idea should drive every decision and recommendation made to
and within the enterprise, and suggested the DNFSB use this
mechanism every time they make recommendations. In its Phase
I report on Managing for High Quality Science and Engineering
at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
laboratories, the National Academies of Science (NAS)
concluded that ``the role that non-regulatory agencies
(particularly the DNFSB) have had on the laboratories is
excessive. Although the Board lacks independent regulatory
enforcement authority, it has issued more than 30 formal
recommendations to the Secretary of Energy since 1990.'' In
its Phase II report in 2013, the NAS pointed out that ``the
DNFSB is an advisory body that does not directly impose
regulations, although DOE and NNSA usually accept DNFSB
recommendations.'' The 2013 report also stated that safety
assessments by overlapping oversight bodies, including the
DNFSB, ``adds to the cost of conducting experiments and can
slow or deter experimental work . . . Moreover, these
assessments generally focus on the safety risks associated
with particular experiments rather than weighing those risks
against the benefits to be derived from the experiments and
the risks to the nuclear weapons program from not conducting
the experiments.'' Most recently, in September 2013 an
assessment of the safety culture at NNSA found a perception
among NNSA employees that ``NNSA leadership is very reactive
to the DNFSB and will make sudden changes rather than
question or say no to the Board.'' While we do not comment on
individual cases or circumstances, we believe it is
imperative that the Secretary of Energy assess the costs and
benefits of any recommendation made by the DNFSB. We believe
it is incumbent upon the Secretary to reject or request
modifications to DNFSB recommendations if the costs of
implementing the recommendations are not commensurate with
the safety benefits gained. We note that existing statute
provides the Secretary with this authority, and encourage the
Secretary to use it, when appropriate. Risk acceptance, if
considered carefully and transparently, is an important risk
management practice.

provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Treatment of funds for intermodal transportation maritime
facility, Port of Anchorage, Alaska (sec. 3504)

modify the current language requiring that any funds provided
for the federal share, and any funds provided for the non-
federal share, for an intermodal transportation maritime
facility at the Port of Anchorage, Alaska, must be
transferred to the Administrator of the Maritime
Administration. The provision would change current laws to a
permission to transfer the funds, rather than a requirement
to transfer the funds.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Strategic seaports (sec. 3505)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 4 minutes.
I want to thank the chairman and echo his words about how important
it is that we pass this piece of legislation. It is critical to our
national security and critical to supporting our troops, to make sure
they get the pay and the support that they need to do the job that we
all have asked them to do.
This is never an easy process. We worked between the two of us and
between our committees, and we worked with the Senate, House
Republicans, bipartisan and bicameral. I am sure if any one of us were
so designated as god of this piece of legislation, there are things we
would change about it, but that is the nature of the legislative
process. You come together, you compromise, and you put together the
best product that all of you can agree on, and that is what we have
done.
{time} 1500
To not pass this at this point is to jeopardize our national security
and to not support our troops.
I think this is an excellent compromise and something that needs to
be passed. I think that we would all agree that we wish we could have
done this through the normal conference committee process, but the
Senate has their rules, and they had difficulty getting to that point.
I want to assure everybody that this was a fully negotiated piece of
legislation. We engaged the Senate, both Republican and Democrat.
Chairman McKeon and I worked very closely together. Our staffs worked
very closely together. This is an excellent, important bill that needs
to be passed for all of the reasons that Chairman McKeon mentioned: the
steps forward it makes on sexual assault, the support it gives to our
troops as they are in battle in Afghanistan in trying to protect our
national security elsewhere. I really want to urge everyone to make
sure that they vote for this and support this.
I want to use my remaining time to talk a little bit about the budget
resolution, or the budget conference committee, that we are going to
talk about later. I completely agree with Chairman McKeon. In the
spirit of what I said about the NDAA about the necessity of getting our
job done, we need to pass a budget. I know it impacts all manner of
different other pieces of government, but I am most familiar with what
it does to the Department of Defense to not have a budget, to not have
appropriations bills, to have to go from CR to CR to government
shutdown threat to actual government shutdown to another government
shutdown threat.
You simply cannot function as well as you should, or as well as you
would, if you had a dependable budget that said here is what you have.
It will never be what all of us want, but it is better to have the
predictability of having an appropriations process.
So it is critical that we pass the National Defense Authorization
Act; it is critical that we pass the budget. We have to function as a
government. We all know how low our approval ratings are. I think it is
great: Democrats take great comfort in the fact that Republicans aren't
popular and the Republicans take great comfort in the fact that
Democrats aren't popular. But all it means to me is none of us are
popular.
We need to get our job done. We have two great opportunities today to
do that, to show the American public that this body functions, it
works, and it will, in fact, live up to its responsibilities, and in
the case of the National Defense Authorization Act, one of the most
important responsibilities, and that is to provide for the common
defense.
I urge everyone to vote for this important piece of legislation and
to support the budget resolution coming later today.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Thornberry), my friend and colleague, the vice chairman of
the Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Intelligence, Emerging
Threats, and Capabilities Subcommittee.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First, let me commend the chairman and ranking member of the
committee and the staff for getting us to this point.
In all the 52 years of the National Defense Authorization Act, I
think this has been one of the most challenging years to get a bill
actually passed. Not only have they done that, or are about to do that,
get us to this point, but it is a good bill with many significant
provisions that enhance our national security.
Among those provisions are those under the purview of the
Intelligence, Emerging Threats, and Capabilities Subcommittee that
authorizes more than $85 billion worth of critical national security
activities and programs to include cybersecurity and operations,
combating weapons of mass destruction, combating terrorism, defense
intelligence, and Special Operations Forces, science and technology,
and research, and a host of areas.
I want to express my appreciation especially to the subcommittee
staff for the work they have done on it.
But as we look ahead to the threats and also the capabilities that
are coming before us in the future, we also
[[Page H8038]]
have to update our oversight mechanisms here in Congress.
In this bill, there are provisions known as the Oversight of
Sensitive Military Operations Act, which is a big advance to make sure
that we can conduct the proper oversight, even as activities are
conducted by various weapon systems, even as they happen all around the
world.
Finally, Mr. Speaker, let me reiterate what the chairman and ranking
member have said: this bill, combined with the budget agreement,
doesn't solve all our problems in defense, but they provide absolutely
needed stability so that we can return to a way where military leaders
and private sector leaders can plan for a change. We have not been in
that situation in recent years.
So passing this bill and passing the budget bill are significant
advances for our country's national security. I hope all my colleagues
will agree.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlelady from California (Ms. Sanchez), the ranking member of the
Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I thank both Adam
Smith and my fellow Californian, Chairman Buck McKeon, for getting us
to this point. It was very, very difficult. I know that on the Tactical
Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, Chairman Mike Turner, his leadership
really led us to be able to get our work done.
Our subcommittee looks at equipping our troops in particular,
everything from body armor to what types of planes they fly in, how we
transport them, et cetera. This NDAA, I believe, reflects the needs of
the troops in the field and our high-priority acquisition programs, as
reflected in the President's budget.
It authorizes an additional $400 million for the National Guard and
Reserve account and another $90 million for M1 Abrams tank upgrades for
the Army National Guard.
The bill includes $1.3 billion for the U.S. Marine Corps ground
equipment, and we continue to support Global Hawk through 2014.
One of the most important things that we do in our subcommittee is
oversight of these very large acquisition programs. In particular, this
year, we took a look at the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the body
armor programs for our troops. How do we have the right body armor for
men and women? How do we make sure we are upgrading and keeping it
moving forward in a time when we are bringing back troops and we are
getting out of two ground wars? And, of course, the F-35, our only
protection plane for the next 20 years, which we share with some of our
allies. So it is important to make sure that we get that cost down.
These are the types of oversight that we have done.
The bill also includes $746 million in targeted reductions to
eliminate wasteful spending at the DOD.
I wish to thank all of the staff who helped us on this bill: in
particular, Doug Bush, John Wason, Jesse Tolleson, John Sullivan, and
Tim McClees.
I urge a ``yes'' vote on this.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Forbes), my friend and colleague, the chairman of the
Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense
Authorization Act of fiscal year 2014.
With the chairman and ranking member's leadership, I believe that
this bipartisan bill supports our men and women in uniform and provides
them the necessary authorities and funding levels to defend our
national security interests.
As to the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee effort, I
continue to be concerned about both the size and composition of our
Navy's fleet. I am especially troubled by our physical trend lines that
serve to diminish our military capabilities and embolden potential
aggressors.
In testimony before our subcommittee, Navy admirals indicated that
sequestration may serve to reduce our Navy's force structure to 257
ships by the year 2020. The commandant of the Marine Corps indicated
that he sees ``the beginning of a hollow force we have fought hard to
avoid.'' This path is simply unacceptable.
I think this bill does a good job of reversing some of these negative
trends and moves us in the right direction by authorizing eight combat
ships and ensures that we retain and modernize our current fleet
proposed for retirement until the end of its designed service life. It
also provides surety to the continued construction of our aircraft
carrier and attack submarine force structure, while continuing
necessary oversight and cost-control efforts to preserve affordability.
The negative fiscal trend lines are not only resident within the
naval forces, but are also significantly impairing the ability of our
Air Force to project power. The chief of staff of the Air Force
indicated that he anticipates an almost 10 percent reduction in the Air
Force's force structure. Once again, this is not sustainable and erodes
our combat capability.
While I am pleased with the efforts of my subcommittee regarding the
projection of global force capabilities, we still have a long way to
go. This bill provides strategic Air Force investments in terms of both
the KC-46A tanker program and the Long Range Strike Bomber. These are
capabilities that need to be nurtured carefully.
This bill also includes important cost-saving initiatives that
provide the Navy and Air Force with the ability to procure the E-2D
Hawkeye and C-130H Super Hercules aircraft using multi-year procurement
authority.
Mr. Speaker, for all of this, I hope that we will support this bill
and give the added resources that we need for our men and women in
uniform.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlelady from California (Mrs. Davis), the ranking member on our
Military Personnel Subcommittee.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R.
3304, the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2014.
As ranking member of the Military Personnel Subcommittee, I am
pleased this bill includes a number of provisions that continue our
commitment to our Armed Forces.
I want to thank Chairman Joe Wilson for working with me in a
bipartisan manner to support our servicemembers and their families.
Mr. Speaker, I also want to recognize the chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee, Buck McKeon, and Adam Smith, the ranking member,
for their really excellent, wonderful leadership.
I want to thank the hardworking staff as well on the Military
Personnel Subcommittee: Debra, Craig, Dave, Jeanette, Jon, and Colin.
Sexual assault has been a focus of this committee for the last
several years, and this bill continues to make significant progress
toward increasing victim empowerment and holding commands accountable
at all levels. The portions of this bill addressing sexual assault send
a clear message: if you can't contribute to a safe and respectful
environment, then get out.
Beyond sexual assault, the bill provides additional separation
authorities as the services reduce their end strength. These
authorities will be crucial to the Department's ability to execute the
drawdown in a responsible manner, while ensuring that all serving
members and their families who also serve are compensated
appropriately.
Additionally, this bill continues our oversight responsibility and
commitment to prisoners of war and those missing in action. The bill
requires the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for POW and Missing
Personnel Affairs to disseminate appropriate information on the status
of missing persons to family members. It also requires a report
detailing statistical data on the recovery of remains of missing
servicemembers from various conflicts. The bill before us continues to
recognize the sacrifices of those who serve our Nation in uniform.
During a time when thousands of Americans still remain in combat, we
in Congress have an obligation to ensure that these men and women, and
their families, are supported, and provide them the resources they need
to carry out the mission.
I urge all my colleagues to support this bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
South Carolina (Mr. Wilson), my friend and colleague, chairman of the
Military Personnel Subcommittee.
[[Page H8039]]
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Thank you, Chairman McKeon and Ranking
Member Smith, for your leadership.
Mr. Speaker, the National Defense Authorization Act provides our
warfighters, veterans, and military families the support they need,
deserve, and have earned. Specifically, this year's legislation
includes over 30 reforms related to combating criminal sexual assault
in the military.
Reforms initiated by Congressman Mike Turner and Congresswoman Niki
Tsongas include stripping commanders of their authority to dismiss a
guilty finding; significantly limiting commanders' ability to modify
court-martial sentences; establishing minimum sentences for sexual
assault-related offenses; reforming the article 32 process to protect
the victim.
Other provisions would reaffirm our commitment to the Reserves by
requiring minimum notification before deployment; require the Secretary
to improve the Integrated Disability Evaluation System; and reauthorize
many special pays and bonuses for our servicemembers.
This bill does not include the administration's request for military
retirees to pay more in fees.
From the beginning, the military personnel provisions have been a
bipartisan process. I want to commend the ranking member, Congresswoman
Susan Davis of California.
Additionally, I want to express an appreciation for the dedication of
our subcommittee staff: John Chapla, who is truly a Virginia gentleman
of the VMI tradition, along with Deborah Wada, Jeanette James, Craig
Greene, Dave Giachetti, and Colin Bosse, along with Military
Legislative Assistant Chad Sydnor and Military Fellow, Marine Master
Sergeant Lee Duncan.
I urge my colleagues to support the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
{time} 1515
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Guam (Ms. Bordallo), the ranking member on the
Readiness Subcommittee.
Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the defense
authorization bill for fiscal year 2014. In a time of tight budgets, it
is important that we provide the resources to make sure that our forces
are properly trained, equipped, and appropriately manned. That is the
essence of military readiness. Our military must maintain a high level
of readiness to address a wide range of threats across this globe. This
bill helps to achieve that goal. This is all about keeping our Nation
secure and safe.
In particular, this bill makes significant progress in advancing our
posture in the Asia-Pacific region. The bill upholds the U.S.
commitment to modernizing our force posture which is a critical
component of the strategic rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region. In
particular, Mr. Speaker, freeing up Japanese funds for the realignment
of marines from Okinawa is financially prudent and confirms our support
of the Guam International Agreement.
I thank Chairman McKeon; Ranking Member Smith; my chairman, Mr.
Wittman; our partners in the Senate; the staff on the committee and in
my personal office for their support in developing this important bill.
I urge my colleagues to support this measure and pass it so the
Senate can act on this critical measure which is so important to our
men and women serving this Nation in defense.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Turner), the chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces
Subcommittee.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, I support the National Defense Authorization
Act for fiscal year 2014, the 52nd consecutive National Defense
Authorization Act.
I have had the privilege of serving as the chairman of the Tactical
Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of our Armed Services Committee. Under
the full leadership of Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith, the
support of Loretta Sanchez, our subcommittee's ranking member, and a
superb staff, ours is truly a bipartisan effort.
This year's bill reflects Congress' substantial bipartisan and
bicameral efforts to construct meaningful reforms aimed at combating
the pervasive issue of sexual assault within our military.
I want to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for their
dedication so that this body's solution on these issues has been
absolutely bipartisan. These legislative initiatives are unprecedented
and the most powerful steps made to date toward the eradication of
sexual assault in the military.
Specifically, the bill includes all provisions of the BE SAFE Act and
Coast Guard Strong, which were introduced in both the House and Senate
by Congresswoman Tsongas and myself and Senators McCaskill and Collins,
respectively. It includes bipartisan measures introduced by
Representatives Heck, Walorski, Noem, Castro, Davis, Sanchez, and
Duckworth. Additionally, it includes the significant efforts made by
Senator Boxer and Representatives Speier, Tsongas, and myself in the
past month to reform the article 32 process and ensure victims are not
subjected to unnecessary intimidation tactics.
Instead of searching for ways to remove a commander's authority, this
bill establishes systemic process and reforms which will provide
military leaders with the tools they need to ensure that victims are
cared for, that perpetrators are brought to justice, and that
commanders are held accountable for what goes on within their units.
This bill enhances the rights of victims, strengthens military
whistleblower protection laws, increases training requirements, and
improves the ways the services respond to sexual assault reporting. It
ensures that perpetrators are appropriately held accountable for these
serious and violent crimes.
In addition to the sexual assault provisions, the bill includes an
additional $90 million for Abrams tank upgrades and $75 million for
heavy improved recovery vehicles that would ensure that our armored
vehicle industrial base remains active.
Lastly, the bill strongly supports the Joint Strike Fighter program.
I urge Members to support the bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Massachusetts (Ms. Tsongas), ranking member of the Oversight and
Investigations Subcommittee.
Ms. TSONGAS. Mr. Speaker, Congress has come together every year for
half a century to pass the NDAA and support our servicemembers. This
NDAA includes the BE SAFE Act, which it was my honor to work on with
Representative Mike Turner. It takes significant steps towards
combating military sexual assault, an egregious crime that exists
across the services. The bill makes historic changes to commander
authority, removing the ability to overturn a jury verdict. It mandates
a dishonorable discharge for those convicted of sexual assault and
makes sure that every victim of military sexual assault gets an
attorney.
This NDAA is necessary to require the Pentagon to continue important
sexual assault prevention measures, such as the successful Special
Victims Counsel program that could fall by the wayside if not mandated
by law. It also includes many other reforms advanced on a bipartisan
basis by many other members of the committee.
While we have more work to do, I want to thank Chairman McKeon and
Ranking Member Smith for their dedication in getting an NDAA done, and
Representatives Turner, Davis, Wilson, and the many others who worked
on a bipartisan basis to address the great challenge of sexual assault
in the military. I urge the House and Senate to pass this important
bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Rogers), the chairman of the Strategic Forces
Subcommittee.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of
the FY14 National Defense Authorization Act, and H.R. 3304, the
underlying bill that would waive the time limit for the President to
consider awarding the Medal of Honor to a handful of American heroes,
including Mr. Bennie Adkins of Opelika, Alabama, along with several
other deserving veterans. While this honor has long been delayed, we
thank them by this action today.
I would also like to thank the hardworking men and women at the
Anniston Army Depot and all they do for our
[[Page H8040]]
men and women in uniform. This bill will help provide them and all of
the installations in the Third District with the certainty they need in
the coming years.
As chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, I will highlight
some of the important oversight the FY14 NDAA includes.
First, this bill fully funds the B-61 Life Extension program. The
bipartisan and bicameral Armed Services Committees agree this program
is vital to our national security, our strategic deterrent, and the
extended deterrence we provide to our allies in Europe and Asia.
I would also note the agreement makes clear that the Congress will
not provide one penny to implement the New START Treaty reductions
unless the administration first comes up here and tells us what it
plans to do and gives us a chance to say whether or not we agree.
Secondly, this bill provides a $358 million increase above the
President's budget for our missile defenses, including our cooperation
with Israel.
This bill also includes important national security space provisions.
It ensures the U.S. is not relying on space capabilities of the
People's Republic of China, and it promotes more cost-effective
procurement of commercial satellite services.
Mr. Speaker, we would not be here today without the leadership of
Chairman Buck McKeon. I want to thank him for his leadership and all
that he does for our men and women in service. I also want to thank my
friend and ranking member, Jim Cooper of Tennessee, for his dedication
and professionalism this year. With another year, we may even see eye
to eye on SEC football; but I doubt it. I ask my colleagues to vote
``yes.''
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in support of the FY14 National
Defense Authorization Act, and H.R. 3304, the underlying bill that
would waive the time limit for the president to consider awarding the
Medal of Honor to a handful of American heroes including Mr. Bennie
Adkins of Opelika, AL along with several other deserving veterans.
While this honor has been delayed we thank them for their service
today.
I would also like to thank the hard working men and women at the
Anniston Army Depot and all that they do for our men and women in
uniform. This bill will help provide them the certainty needed in the
coming years.
As my colleagues before me have made clear, this bill is a vital
piece of legislation for the men and women of our military.
General Dempsey warned the Congressional Leadership this past Monday
of the consequences for national security if the Senate were to choose
not to take up this legislation.
As the Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, I would like to
highlight the important things this bill does in the areas of missile
defense, nuclear weapons, and national security space.
First, this bill fully funds the B61 Life Extension Program (LEP) at
NNSA and the associated tail-kit funding at the Air Force.
The bipartisan and bicameral armed services committees agree with the
Administration: the B61 LEP is absolutely vital to our national
security, our strategic deterrent, and the extended deterrence we
provide to allies in Europe and in Asia.
There is simply no good reason to change course in mid-stream on this
LEP, and we would incur great risk if a decision was made to do so.
I would also note the agreement makes clear that the Congress will
not provide one penny to implement the New START Treaty reductions
unless the Administration comes up here first and tells us how it plans
to do that and we get a chance to state whether we agree. That is how
this process is supposed to work: the President proposes and the
Congress disposes.
The NDAA includes several provisions to control costs, improve
efficiency, and prioritize nuclear modernization programs at the
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
The Armed Services Committee has been pursuing much-needed reform at
the NNSA for several years, and this bill will continue to advance
toward the end goal of an effective and efficient nuclear enterprise.
In response to major and repeated security failures at NNSA nuclear
facilities, including the shocking incursion by an octogenarian nun at
one of the supposedly most secure nuclear sites in the world, the bill
contains several measures to improve security at NNSA.
These measures include a requirement for the NNSA Administrator to
annually certify the security of nuclear weapons, materials, and
classified information and the creation of a new Center for Security
Technology, Analysis, Response, and Testing.
We will continue to watch the security issue very carefully, and
ensure that those responsible for past failures are held accountable.
This bill takes several important steps to ensure U.S. strategic
forces remain a top priority.
It ensures the Air Force will maintain the capability to deploy
multiple nuclear warheads on intercontinental ballistic missiles
(ICBM), should technical problems or deteriorating international
relations require doing so, and restricts efforts to unnecessarily or
arbitrarily reduce U.S. ICBM forces.
The bill also requires that the long-range standoff cruise missile
currently under development has both nuclear and conventional variants;
the bill provides the Air Force the flexibility to develop these
variants in a cost-effective manner.
I also highlight Section 266 of the bill, which expresses a strong
Sense of Congress that the OHIO-class replacement ballistic missile
submarine program, in particular the common missile compartment of this
program, must remain on track so that it delivers on-schedule to
support our British allies.
Britain and the United States have been partners in sea-based
strategic deterrence for decades, and we must fulfill our commitment to
this essential ally.
Mr. Speaker, I would also like to ensure there is no confusion with
respect to Section 3112 of this bill.
This provision would create a Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation
office within the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
This office is intended to bring some rigor to an agency that has
regularly seen major nuclear facility construction projects hit with
major cost increases.
My hope is that the office will lead to more accurate and timely cost
estimates, and thereby help restore credibility to the NNSA.
Importantly, the purview of this office is not intended to cover the
Naval Reactors program within NNSA.
Naval Reactors has a long history of program management excellence,
and this new office is not meant to interfere with this success.
I have spoken to Chairman Mark Udall of the Senate Armed Services
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces and he and I agree that this provision
should have no impact at all on the function of the Naval Reactors
office.
I will be working with Senator Udall and the NNSA to ensure there is
no uncertainty about section 3112.
We both agree that if there is any such uncertainty, it will be
clarified in the FY15 National Defense Authorization Act.
I also note Section 3117 of the bill would authorize the NNSA to
carry out a ``modular'' approach to replacing critical plutonium
capabilities at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The replacement of these capabilities is at the core of President
Obama's commitment to build a responsive nuclear infrastructure.
Further delay is unacceptable.
The Department of Defense has reviewed the modular approach, and the
Nuclear Weapons Council has endorsed it.
The NNSA must begin executing this strategy immediately, and the
Nuclear Weapons Council must ensure NNSA puts behind the effort the
resources needed.
I understand a reprogramming proposal related to the plutonium
strategy is still pending, and I will work with Chairman McKeon to
continue to leverage this reprogramming to ensure NNSA begins executing
this program immediately.
Second, this bill provides a $358 million increase above the
President's budget for our missile defenses.
These funds are essential to reverse the damage done to our missile
defenses under this Administration.
We have included authorization for a new homeland missile defense
sensor and a new kill vehicle, as well as $20 million to continue the
planning we started last year for the East Coast missile defense site.
Additionally, this bill includes funding for missile defense
cooperation with our allies, including $188 million on top of the
President's budget request for Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow
missile defenses.
These increases are a reflection of the commitment of this nation to
the security of our ally Israel.
And, it draws a line in the sand when it comes to allies entering
into missile defense deals with China or in terms of the Obama
Administration's efforts to induce Russia to join a missile defense
deal.
The bill also includes important national security space provisions,
such as a provision I authored to ensure the United States is not
relying on space capabilities of the People's Republic of China; a
provision to ensure the State Department is unable to proceed with an
agreement to locate Russian satellite ground stations in the United
States; and it promotes more cost-effective procurement of commercial
satellite services.
[[Page H8041]]
This bill provides the continued support and advancement of critical
national security space programs.
Our military forces have come to depend on space capabilities, such
as missile warning, communications, and GPS.
Potential adversaries have taken note of strategic reliance on these
systems, and they are developing a range of weapons to destroy and
disable our satellites.
In response to these threats, the bill requires that an independent
panel be established to review the U.S. space security and defense
efforts, and provide recommended paths forward.
The bill also requires improved information sharing within the United
States government concerning any intentional adversary counter-space
actions against U.S. national security space systems.
Additionally, Section 220 and Section 915 provide support for the
Operationally Responsive Space program, including responsive launch
activities, to ensure that the Department is developing capabilities
and means to respond to urgent warfighter space needs.
The Department's acquisition of commercial satellite services is in
need of reform.
Over one billion dollars a year are spent on these services, and the
Department currently procures them in the most inefficient manner
possible, through one-year leases.
This year's NDAA directs the DoD to develop a strategy to enable
multi-year procurement approaches and encourages the pursuit of a
variety of methods to reduce cost and meet military requirements.
And our space capabilities would not be possible without an effective
space launch program.
As the Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program moves
into the next phase, which is planned to be competitive, we will
maintain close oversight to ensure the taxpayer's and warfighter's
interests are protected. We can accept nothing less than the highest
mission reliability when it comes to critical, multi-billion dollar
national security space payloads.
Mr. Speaker, we would not be here today without the leadership of
Chairman Buck McKeon.
I would like to thank him for his leadership and all that he does for
the men and women of this country's armed services.
I would also like to thank my Ranking Member, Jim Cooper of
Tennessee, for his dedication and professionalism this year.
While we may not see eye-to-eye on SEC football, he has been a
pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him to build
on our successes this year in next year's bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New
Jersey (Mr. Andrews).
(Mr. ANDREWS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Chairman McKeon and
Ranking Member Smith for all their hard work on this bill.
In the spring of 2011, a very brave band of Americans executed a
mission that brought the country to its feet in ending the reign of
terror of Osama bin Laden. Their heroism on that night is something
that makes us proud even today. That success, though, was rooted in
many things that happened many years before that. There were scientists
and researchers that made those night vision goggles that made the raid
possible. There were engineers and technicians that made the Stealth
helicopters so successful; and, most importantly, I think, there were
men and women in our intelligence community who helped sift through all
the haystacks to find the needles necessary to make the operation
happen.
The quiet, methodical work that protects our country is the essence
of this bill. It is research and development. It is readiness. It is
all the things that are necessary to act, and act decisively in the
decisive moments in history. It is important that all Members support
this bill because those who raise their right hands and swear
allegiance to the country are worthy of this support. I am pleased both
Republicans and Democrats will support this bill today. I am happy to
join that support.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Wittman), my friend and colleague, and the chairman of
the Readiness Subcommittee.
Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the
National Defense Authorization Act. I would like to thank Chairman
McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for their hard work on this, as well as
the ranking member of the Readiness Subcommittee, Madeleine Bordallo.
This bill addresses the impact of sequestration on our national
security and, perhaps most importantly, the most damaging effects on
our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, over 51,000 of whom are
fighting for us today in Afghanistan.
Specifically, this bill allocates nearly $3 billion readiness dollars
across the components--Active, Guard and Reserve--providing needed
funds for critical programs, including the flying hour program,
facilities maintenance and sustainment, depot maintenance, and combat
support.
The bill boosts DOD's ability to respond to crises like Benghazi by
adding $75 million for the expansion of the Marine Security Guard
program at our diplomatic posts around the world.
It prohibits DOD from initiating another round of BRAC to ensure
appropriate focus on the orderly and secure withdrawal from Afghanistan
and a well-informed assessment of our Nation's defense strategy moving
forward.
It also provides $11 million for MILCON projects for urgently needed
base infrastructure.
It reauthorizes 1.5 million acres of public land for training range
access to ensure our forces have the ability to train the way we expect
them to fight.
And it ensures adequate funding for reset and retrograde from our
Nation's longest war in Afghanistan.
As we vote, we need to be mindful that our highest duty is to ensure
the readiness of our force. This starts with our men and women who
volunteer to wear the uniform with the right training and equipment to
do their missions with the advantage of overwhelming military
superiority. We must ensure they never enter a fair fight on our
behalf, and that they can complete their missions and come home safe.
I would like to thank the HASC staff director, the entire HASC staff,
especially the readiness staff--Michele Pearce, Ryan Crumpler, Jamie
Lynch, Dave Sienicki and Nicholas Rodman--for their diligent and
dedicated work to get this bill completed.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, how much time remains?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Washington has 9\1/2\
minutes remaining. The gentleman from California has 5 minutes
remaining.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), a member of the committee.
Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this
bipartisan defense measure which makes an emphatic commitment to
America's undersea Naval force. In the last 2 years, we have had the
following: the National Security Review in 2011, the Quadrennial
Defense Review, and the Nuclear Posture Review; and all of them have
had the same consistent theme on this issue, which is that the U.S.
Navy's preeminence in the undersea domain must not be neglected, and
that sea-based deterrence is a critical insurance policy for our Nation
from any emerging nuclear force.
With that in mind, this measure invests $5.9 billion in the Virginia
class submarine program. It will fund two submarines in 2014 and
advance procurement in 2015. It has $1 billion for the Ohio replacement
design work, which is the best guarantee that we will have a cost-
effective production of that critical vessel. And finally, the Virginia
payload module which will increase the missile capacity of the Virginia
class submarine and allow the Navy to replace the capability of the
SSGM force which is going to be going offline over the next 10 years.
The Seapower Subcommittee, led by my friend, Mr. Forbes, has held a
number of hearings which again have reemphasized the critical need for
this both in our Navy and our national security. I urge a ``yes'' vote
on this measure.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Alabama (Mrs. Roby), our former chairman of the Oversight and
Investigations Subcommittee, who was recently moved from our committee
to the Appropriations Committee. She will be sorely missed.
Mrs. ROBY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my support for this
National Defense Authorization Act. I want to express my gratitude to
Chairman McKeon and the entire Armed Services staff for their hard work
and commitment to our men and women in uniform.
[[Page H8042]]
While I will no longer be serving on the Armed Services Committee, I
know that Chairman McKeon and his team will continue their good work.
Mr. Speaker, providing for the common defense is one of the
fundamental duties of the Congress spelled out in our Constitution, and
I am proud to represent two distinguished military installations in
Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery and Fort Rucker-Wiregrass.
These installations and others like them around the world will be
better able to prepare our men and women thanks to this year's NDAA.
One important part of this bill I want to highlight is its focus on
helping our military assets respond to global threats while remaining
within our Nation's fiscal constraints. During my time as chairman of
the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, we focused on the rights
of Afghan women and ensuring that our military is better postured to
respond to any future attack, like the one on the consulate in
Benghazi, Libya, last September.
{time} 1530
I am pleased that the NDAA provides provisions offering the
appropriate guidance on both of these issues.
The bill also addresses the important issue of sexual assault in the
military in a responsible and reasonable way, and I know my friend
Representative Walorski is going to address that in a moment, and I
appreciate her and other's leadership on that issue.
I encourage my colleagues in the House to pass this critical measure
to ensure that our military men and women receive the resources and
policy that they need to do their job.
Thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for your work.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), the ranking member of the
Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.
(Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I
rise in strong support of the House amendment to H.R. 3304, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
This legislation represents the best path forward for the work that
we must do in order to support our men and women in uniform and our
national security, and I applaud Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member
Smith for their efforts to ensure that it is enacted.
I am pleased that the bill continues the strong support of the
Virginia-class submarine, Ohio Replacement Program, and the Virginia
Payload Module, all of which are critical to our future capabilities. I
am also pleased that this measure improves on several key aspects of
the House-passed defense authorization, including a number of
initiatives designed to confront sexual assault in our military,
policies making progress towards the administration's goal of closing
the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and improved provisions
relating to the nuclear weapons enterprise and missile defense.
I have been proud to work closely in particular with Chairman Mac
Thornberry on the numerous provisions under the jurisdiction of the
Subcommittee on Intelligence Emerging Threats and Capabilities, where I
am proud to serve as ranking member. We have prioritized resources for
our Special Operations Forces and our cybersecurity efforts, as well as
investments in advanced technology and research and development.
While more clearly must be done by both DOD and the whole of
government to address the challenges our Nation faces in cyberspace,
there are many positive steps as well in this legislation, including
incentivizing new cybersecurity standards, ensuring U.S. Cyber Command
has proper authorities and personnel, and coordinating cybersecurity
efforts with related disciplines.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member
Smith and their tireless committee staff for their efforts, and I urge
my colleagues to support swift passage of this crucial legislation.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Indiana (Mrs. Walorski), my friend and colleague, a member of the Armed
Services Committee.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this National
Defense Authorization Act.
This year's act includes historic reforms to address the growing
epidemic of military sexual assault that is shamefully tarnishing the
reputation of our Armed Forces. I want to thank Representative Loretta
Sanchez for assisting me with a bipartisan provision that extended
whistleblower protections to victims to ensure they cannot be
retaliated against for reporting sexual assault. This commonsense
measure will create an environment for safe reporting and encourage
victims to come forward without fear of retribution within their own
ranks.
Passing the NDAA with these critical reforms is a step in the right
direction toward eradicating the horrific problem of military sexual
assault in the military. I urge my colleagues to support this bill and
quickly sign it into law so that our servicemembers have whistleblower
protection. I urge my colleagues to vote for this NDAA.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from Hawaii (Ms. Hanabusa).
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bipartisan
legislation.
The NDAA has been approved with bipartisan support for 51 consecutive
years, so I am pleased our committee was able to reach an agreement.
The bill includes over $400 million in important funding for military
construction in the State of Hawaii that will solidify our position in
support of the Asia-Pacific rebalance. As you know, Hawaii is America's
gateway to the Asia-Pacific.
I would like to thank the chair and ranking member for working with
me to include critical provisions for Hawaii, and thank my bipartisan
colleagues on the committee for helping me authorize new money for the
Maritime Guaranteed Loan Program, which will be used to preserve
national security and ensure the long-term viability of the American
maritime industry.
I am pleased that the bill includes language that will help further
critical research objectives in Hawaii for the Office of Naval Research
for organizations like the Pacific International Center for High
Technology Research. This will allow Hawaii to thrive into the future.
Thank you, everyone, for your hard work on this year's bill, and I
call upon my colleagues to vote for this important legislation.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to the remaining time?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California has 2\1/2\
minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Washington has 5\1/2\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I will be the concluding speaker here, so I
will reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Barber), a member of the committee.
Mr. BARBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to
support this bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act, and I call
attention to a provision in the act that will preserve the A-10, a core
component of our Nation's combat power and military readiness. This is
a national security asset that I have been fighting for even before I
became a Member of Congress when I was Congresswoman Giffords' district
military affairs lead.
This National Defense Authorization Act states that the Air Force
will not be allowed to retire, prepare to retire, or place in storage
any additional A-10 aircraft during 2014. A-10 pilots are trained at
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, to fly a plane that is
unsurpassed in its ability to provide support for our troops on the
ground. In today's military environment, the A-10 is best suited to
continue this very important mission for decades to come. We simply
cannot adequately support the warfighter to continue on the ground if
we get rid of this proven aircraft.
I am proud to support the NDAA.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
[[Page H8043]]
I just want to take a quick minute again to thank all the people who
worked to make this possible, our staffs on the Armed Services
Committee in particular. The bipartisan majority and minority have all
done an amazing job over a long period of time, and I really want to
thank the chairman, as well, for his determination to get this bill
done.
It is never the same path twice, which always makes it interesting,
but the one thing that we have very much in common is an absolute
determination to get the bill done for the reasons that the chairman
and I stated earlier, because of just how important it is that we do
our work and make sure we provide for the troops that are serving us.
But we could not do it without the incredible expertise and tireless
work of our staffs.
I particularly want to thank my staff director, Paul Arcangeli, for
pulling all of this together as we bounced back and forth between
whether or not we were going to do a formal conference or do this. That
work that they have been doing over the last several months was
critical in making this possible.
Again, I will close just emphasizing two big points:
We need to do our work as Congress because people depend on it. They
depend on the United States Government functioning. Passing the
National Defense Authorization Act is a critical piece of that so that
we can continue to provide for the common defense as we are
constitutionally mandated to do, and I urge everybody to support it.
Every bit as important is the budget agreement that is coming up
later on. We have all, to some degree on the Armed Services Committee
and elsewhere, railed against sequestration. The vote that is coming up
this afternoon is not a choice between this budget agreement and what
each one of us individually would like. It is a choice between the
budget agreement and sequestration, a CR and further threats of
government shutdown. And I will just emphasize that the impact that
that would have on the Department of Defense and its ability to do the
job that we are asking them to do would be devastating.
I know we have heard everybody claim that sequestration was going to
be this big deal and it happened and the sun came up the next morning
and everything was fine. Look, there are two things about that.
Number one, it had a profound impact on a lot of people. Not
everybody to be sure, but it did have that profound impact.
The second big point is it gets worse. The first year was tough, but
there were uncosted balances. There were things you could do. They have
kind of been running on fumes for a while, and if we continue with
sequestration, those fumes run out and the cuts will be devastating and
we will not be able to do what it is that I think we need to do to
provide for our national security, which isn't to say the defense
budget can't be cut. It is being cut, and it is going to be cut. There
are cuts and then there are the nonsensical cuts of sequestration. The
only way out of that right now is the budget agreement.
Lastly, I will say that applies to a lot of other aspects of
government: transportation, housing, Head Start. We have heard all the
stories about the devastating impact of sequestration on all those
programs. Later this afternoon, we will have our first real opportunity
to reverse that. It is critically important that we do so.
I urge passage of the National Defense Authorization Act. I again
thank the chairman. I very much value our partnership, given the desire
for bipartisanship out there today. People always ask me if I have any
Republicans that I work with. I do; the chairman of our committee, who
has done a great job in that capacity. I very much value our friendship
and our partnership. Hopefully, we will get the Senate to get this done
and we will make it 52 years in a row.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
I want to thank the other committees who worked closely with us all
year and members of the Armed Services Committee once again. Especially
I want to thank our staff directors, Bob Simmons and Paul Arcangeli.
They have worked tirelessly, as have all of these other people that
have been putting in countless hours to get us to this point.
This legislation addresses a wide array of policy issues, including
supporting operations in Afghanistan, strengthening our partnerships in
the Middle East, reinforcing our capabilities in the Pacific, combating
sexual assault in the military, enhancing missile defense, and
maintaining this Nation's nuclear deterrent.
Though the significant cuts to the defense budget continue to have a
profound effect on readiness, our modernization programs, and the
defense industrial base, the bill adequately sustains training,
critical assembly lines, shipyards, and manufacturing expertise to keep
our wartime military properly prepared, equipped, and supplied. Each of
these efforts is important for the security of our homeland and our
allies.
We have worked on a bicameral, bipartisan basis to get this
legislation done. It is my sincere hope that we can continue working
together to limit the damage to our military and their readiness
resulting from sequestration.
What we are considering here today is a step in the right direction.
It is a solid product thoroughly debated and deliberately considered. I
urge my colleagues to support and vote in favor of this legislation.
As Adam said, we have a great partnership. I think the thing that
makes our committee work so well together is it is not about jobs.
Sometimes people say, well, we just have a defense so that we can
provide jobs. We have a defense because the Constitution says that we
provide for the common defense. We have to be kind of the ones that
keep the ceilings open, the skies free, this Nation free from
terrorism.
I talked to General Odierno, the Chief of our Army last week, and he
said in 2008, the budget for the U.S. Army was $250 billion. This year,
it is $150 billion. For people who are saying we are really not
cutting, we are just slowing the growth rate, we are cutting. The thing
that has been most affected is our readiness, and that is what causes
lives to be lost because our troops aren't getting sufficiently trained
before they go to Afghanistan, before they go into harm's way. This
budget will help. I talked to General Dempsey yesterday, and this will
help them get back on their feet in readiness.
I want to thank Adam for his true friendship and partnership, and I
encourage all of our colleagues to vote for this bill, to sustain the
efforts of those who are willing to put themselves in harm's way to
protect us.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak on House consideration
of the The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
I thank Chairman McKeon. Ranking Member Smith and the Rules
Committee, and the Armed Services Committee's for their work on the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
The National Defense Authorization Act's purpose is to address the
threats our nation must deal with not just today, but into the future.
This makes our work vital to our national interest and it should
reflect our strong commitment to ensure that the men and women of our
Armed Services receive the benefits and support that they deserve for
their faithful service.
This is the 52nd consecutive National Defense Authorization Act,
which speaks to the long term commitment of the Congress and successive
Administrations to provide for National Defense. This bill encompasses
a number of initiatives designed to confront sexual assault in the
military, making more efficient the work of protecting America,
addresses the mental health needs of men and women in the armed
services, and extends economic opportunity to small minority and women
owned businesses.
We do live in a dangerous world, where threats are not always easily
identifiable, and our enemies are not bound by borders. The resent
Boston Terrorist Attack reminds us of how fragile our nation's security
could be without a well trained and equipped military.
The definition of war has changed and with it our understanding about
what is needed to combat a unique type of enemy that fights under no
flag or for any nation.
U.S. Special Operations Command, a vital part of our military,
provides much of the special skills needed to defend our nation today.
This legislation continues to build on previous efforts to support
their important work.
I am still deeply concerned about the President's authority, as
stipulated by the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force
[[Page H8044]]
(AUMF), to indefinitely detain individuals apprehended in the United
States--including citizens of the United States--without due process
and with little independent review or oversight. As a senior member of
the House Judiciary Committee, I am committed to making sure that the
Constitution and its protections are enforced. The purpose to defend
this nation is not just on the grounds of this capitol, but also the
foundation that supports the principles of liberty, freedom and
democratic values.
The bill includes several provisions that recognize the strain of
more than a decade of war has placed on our troops and the equipment,
technology, and tools that they use.
It supports a 1.8 percent pay raise. I had wanted a 2 percent raise
for our troops.
This Congress must communicate its wholehearted support for the
security of the nation by addressing mindless cuts created by
sequestration, the $174.6 billion in operation and maintenance funding
the bill provides will help mend some of the damage that has been done
to overused equipment and neglected facilities. It also strengthens our
ability to confront cyber threats, and provides important authorities
to protect vital information. The bill also continues to lay the
foundation for enabling competition in military space launch.
I am also pleased that so much has occurred to improve the bill
during its consideration on the House Floor, including the adoption of
seven amendments that I offered. Combined, these amendments will help
our military families have access to mental health counseling when
needed and that contracting opportunities with the Department of
Defense are extended to women and minority owned businesses. In
addition, the bill has been improved to include provisions that are
critically important to women, including provisions to prevent and
respond to sexual assault and research to combat Triple Negative Breast
Cancer.
The bill amended on the House floor now also contains provisions that
will help secure our borders and make the defense logistics management
system more efficient.
Let me discuss briefly the amendments I offered that were either
included in the final bill or strongly supported in the Conference
Report.
The Conference Report strongly encourages the DOD and NIH to
collaborate in an effort to combat Triple Negative Breast Cancer in
identifying specific genetic and molecular targets and biomarkers for
TNBC.
Triple Negative Breast Cancer is a term used to describe breast
cancers whose cells do not have estrogen receptors and progesterone
receptors, and do not have an excess of the ``HER2'' protein on their
cell membrane of tumor cells. This makes commonly used test and methods
to detect breast cancer not as effective.
This is a serious illness that affects between 10-17 percent of
female breast cancer patients and this condition is more likely to
cause death than the most common form of breast cancer. Seventy percent
of women with metastatic triple negative breast cancer do not live more
than five years after being diagnosed.
This Report Language will help to save lives. TNBC disproportionately
impacts younger women, African American women, Hispanic/Latina women,
and women with a ``BRCA1'' genetic mutation, which is prevalent in
Jewish women. TNBC usually affects women under 50 years of age and
makes up more than 30 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses in African
American. Black women are far more susceptible to this dangerous
subtype than white or Hispanic women
There is also Report Language that will strongly encourage the
Department of Defense to post information on sexual assault prevention
and response resources online for ease of access by men and women in
the armed services.
There is no greater crime that an individual can commit than the
crime of sexual molestation and sexual assault.
The perpetrators of these crimes rob victims of their dignity and
sense of well-being. Victimization is not easily relieved by treating
the immediate physical injuries that may result, but can last for
years. Moreover, victims of sexual assault are profoundly affected for
the rest of their lives often with PTSD or other medical conditions. As
elected officials, we have an obligation to condemn this violence, work
for stronger enforcement of laws and provide adequate funding for
programs to assist individuals who may have experienced such abuse.
In 2012, we know that victims of sexual violence or abuse among
civilians are routinely under reported. The Defense Department report
states that of the 26,000 estimated victims only 3,374 crimes were
reported and just 302 of the 2,558 incidents pursued by victims were
prosecuted.
This Report Language will make sure that information is available and
easily accessible to military personnel for the purpose of raising
awareness, promoting education and the long term goal of influencing
organizational culture around the issue of sexual violence.
Many in the military are just learning that there is a huge
difference between sex and sexual violence. This Report Language will
help to educate both victims, potential victims, witnesses or
victimizers that these are acts of violence and should be treated as
such. It may also help influence thinking among military leaders on the
nature of these crimes and promote changes in policy to aggressively
provide support to victims and judicial remedies to prosecute and
punish criminal behavior.
In addition to the amendments I offered that were included in the
final bill, in which, I joined my Colleagues on the Committee on
Homeland Security in supporting an amendment to promote collaboration
and cooperation between the Department of Defense and Department of
Homeland Security regarding the identification of equipment, either
declared excess, or made available to DHS on a long-term loan basis
that will help increase security along the border.
The bill also includes an amendment I co-sponsored with Homeland
Security Committee Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Thompson, and Border
Security and Maritime Subcommittee Chair Miller which provides for the
transfer of technology from DOD to state and local law enforcement.
Before the creation of DHS a program was created to facilitate this
type of equipment transfer and this amendment adds the Secretary of
Homeland Security in a consultative role in the equipment transfer
process. This amendment also gives applicants seek DOD equipment for
use in border security preference in this statute. This will facilitate
expedited transfer of equipment that Federal, state and local first
responders can use to strengthen our border security efforts.
I do have grave concerns about some features of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. For example this bill assumes
adoption of the House Budget Resolution framework, which would hurt our
economy and require draconian cuts to middle-class priorities. This is
a serious concern for me because of how it would impact my constituents
in the 18th Congressional District.
The Administration has communicated that it would veto this bill in
its current form and I hope that the conference process will resolve
the issues that are the most troubling like the treatment of the
Guantanamo detainees. This issue is a mark against everything the
United States stands for and it is damaging our reputation and
credibility around the world.
The detentions should end and people properly processed to other
facilities or tried in courts of law to address charges or crimes
against the United States. My hope is that this provision will be
dropped from the bill as the legislative process goes forward.
We must continue to direct our efforts as a body to ensure that our
troops remain the best equipped and prepared military force in the
world. They are not just soldiers, they are sons and daughters,
husbands and wives, brothers and sisters--they are some of the people
we represent as members of Congress. Support of them is a sacred
obligation of Congress both to those who are at risk on battle fields
and serving as the guard against threats around the world, but they are
also those who have returned home from war.
I thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for their work on
this bill.
Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, H. Res. 441 which
provides for concurrence in the House to amendments to H.R. 3304 with
amendment, the text of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2014. I appreciate the efforts of Chairman Buck McKeon,
Ranking Member Adam Smith, Chairman Carl Levin and Ranking Member Jim
Inhofe for their work to ensure we have a compromise package that keeps
our 51-year streak of passing defense authorization bills alive. It is
unfortunate that the Senate was unable to proceed under regular order
in completing a defense bill which would have allowed for a true
Conference Committee to negotiate outcomes. Nevertheless, this
compromise package is not perfect but has many elements that are
critical for supporting our service members and our nation's defense
posture.
In particular, I appreciate the provisions in this bill that send a
clear signal of the U.S. commitment to the rebalance to the Asia-
Pacific region. The most tangible defense component of our rebalance
effort is the realignment of Marines from Okinawa, Japan, to Guam. The
bill authorizes nearly $86 million in construction of a U.S. Marine
Corps aviation hangar that directly supports the realignment efforts.
Most importantly, the bill provides greater exemptions for the use of
Government of Japan direct contributions to the realignment. It allows
Japanese funds to be used for a $114 million site improvements project
at the North Ramp on Andersen Air Force Base. It also allows does not
constrain the use of Japanese or U.S. funds for planning and design for
realignment projects. We continue to hold the Department of Defense
(DoD) accountable
[[Page H8045]]
for providing Congress with additional cost information about the
realignment. The bill authorizes an additional $233 million in other
Navy military construction projects on Guam. One such project is the
construction of a hangar for the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance
(BAMS) MQ-4C platform on Guam. Guam's strategic location provides
significant benefit to stationing unmanned aerial vehicle assets at
military installations on-island.
Further, the bill fully authorizes $176.2 million in authorization of
appropriations for Air Force military construction projects at Andersen
Air Force Base which support the Air Force's Pacific Airpower
Resiliency (PAR) program. Additionally, the bill authorizes $128
million for the hardening of a fuel cell hangar that was authorized as
an unhardened hangar in last year's bill. The PAR program provides for
selective hardening and dispersal of Air Force assets and facilities in
the Western Pacific. This program is an important component of an
overarching strategy to respond to anti-access area of denial
capabilities in the region. Some have questioned the cost of this
program, but as Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark Welsh stated to
the Senate Armed Services Committee on November 7, 2013, ``In this
particular case, the hardened facilities on Guam are a response to a
combatant commander request to provide more resilient capability on
Guam because of an increased threat of surface-to-surface missile
attack. He (Admiral Locklear) didn't request that everything be
hardened, just those key facilities you couldn't improvise if there was
damage--improvise for if there was damage on an air field. And that's
what those facilities are based on. So we are trying to support U.S.
Pacific Command in that effort to meet his war plan requirements.'' The
PAR program provides long-term improvement in our posture and readiness
in the Western Pacific for years to come. It is a wise investment for
the security of our country and allies.
These actions taken together send a clear message that the United
States is committed to our rebalance strategy. Moreover, the bill is a
clear indication that the United States is willing to put significant
resources to this important national strategic initiative. To be clear,
the rebalance strategy is broader and farther ranging than just
military construction, but these projects are real, tangible, and
immediate evidence of our commitment.
Unfortunately, this bill does not provide authorization of operation
and maintenance funds to support civilian infrastructure requirements
on Guam. There is a historical context for the Department of Defense
providing local governments with support for civilian infrastructure
requirements such as at Kings Bay, Georgia, and Bangor, Washington, and
I fundamentally disagree with the opposition to this funding because it
will support our military servicemembers. However, the bill does
provide a compromise that requires the Secretary of Defense to convene
a meeting of the Economic Adjustment Committee (EAC) within 90 days of
this measure being signed into law. It also requires a report from DoD
no later than the signing of a Record of Decision on the realignment of
Marines from Okinawa. This provision provides the Government of Guam to
reassess their civilian infrastructure requirements in light of recent
changes to the size of the Marine realignment yet holds DoD accountable
for considering this requirement. Civilian infrastructure improvements
on Guam are needed to support and sustain the current military
footprint as well as increased military presence on-island. I look
forward to working with the Secretary of Defense, Governor of Guam, and
other stakeholders as the EAC process moves forward.
I also strongly support the bill's continued prohibition on the
retirement or mothballing of Global Hawk Block 30 unmanned systems
through 2014. The Global Hawk is a critical intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance asset, and the Air Force's rationale for wanting to
retire this aircraft and continue flying an aging aircraft for the
foreseeable future remains lacking. In a time of constrained budgets we
need to look carefully at what platforms will provide the military with
the best capabilities. I strongly believe that the Global Hawk Block 30
program provides the U.S. Air Force with a better capability in the
long term. Although not addressed in this bill, I support the
Appropriations Committee's effort to provide additional funding to the
Air Force to investigate the potential to modify the Global Hawk Block
30 aircraft to adapt to certain sensor programs. The long-term
endurance surveillance missions are served well by UAVs, and I believe
the Global Hawk supports that mission well.
I also greatly support the additional $1.1 million in funding for the
Sea Cadet Corps program. This funding is in addition to $1.7 million
that was programmed by the U.S. Navy in the Fiscal Year 2014 budget.
The Sea Cadet program facilitates professional development for almost
9,000 Sea Cadets ages 11-17, in 387 units nationwide. The Naval Sea
Cadet Corps instills in every Cadet a sense of patriotism, courage, and
a foundation of personal honor and significantly assists in promoting
the Navy and Coast Guard, particularly in those areas of the United
States where these Services have little presence.
As Ranking Member of the Readiness Subcommittee, I support this bill
which provides the resources to ensure our forces are properly trained,
equipped, and manned, all of which are the essence of military
readiness. In particular, the bill provides $176.5 billion in operation
and maintenance funding to help mend some of the damage that has been
done to overused equipment and neglected facilities. The mindless and
arbitrary cuts imposed by sequestration have challenged our operation
and maintenance accounts, yet this funding helps mitigate that impact.
The bill authorizes $62.5 billion for operation and maintenance for
Overseas Contingency Operations, with $2.9 billion in additional
funding for depot-level maintenance, fuel costs, and equipment spares
and reset. As we put these significant resources into accounts that
support our readiness, the bill takes steps to strengthen and improve
the reports that the House Armed Services Committee receives each
quarter detailing readiness metrics. In particular, it enhances the
Committee's visibility of geographic and functional combatant
commanders' ability to execute the full range of operational and
contingency plans to meet worldwide threats. The bill also extends the
waiver of limitations on premium pay for federal civilian employees who
work overseas in support of contingency operations and allows payment
to DoD civilians serving in combat zones of allowances, benefits, and
bonuses comparable to members of the foreign service.
Earlier I discussed investment in certain force posture efforts, but
this bill takes other steps that address our ability to react to a wide
range of threats worldwide. In particular, it increases funding for
Marine security guards at embassies worldwide by $13.4 million. It also
increases, by $40 million, the funding for special-purpose Marine Air
Ground Task Force to respond to security challenges or humanitarian
emergencies, such as the recent humanitarian emergency we responded to
in the Philippines. It also establishes the requirement for a strategic
policy for equipment and materiel prepositioned throughout the world to
respond to emerging contingencies to be aligned with defense strategic
guidance. This is of particular importance as we demonstrate our
commitment to the Asia-Pacific rebalance strategy.
Finally, I do have some concerns about the provision that authorizes
the National Guard State Partnership program. The compromise provision
included in this bill is significantly different from legislation that
I introduced and included in the House-passed measure in June. I
appreciate that we finally authorize this program in law but the
requirements for how NGB must execute the program deserve greater
scrutiny.
The National Guard State Partnership Program supports the geographic
Combatant Commanders and U.S. Ambassadors via capacity-building
partnerships between NGB units across the United States and partner
nations. This program provides a long-term capacity-building mechanism
that leverages the unique capabilities of the National Guard. However,
the provision, as currently written, does not recognize the unique
capabilities of the National Guard and has an arbitrary sunset date.
Further, the reporting provisions are onerous and will add unnecessary
bureaucratic work instead of focusing on accomplishing broader goals. I
look forward to working with my colleagues to improve this provision in
next year's bill.
The defense bill is a year-long process and is put together with the
help and assistance of our outstanding staff. In particular, I
appreciate the hard work and coordination of the entire House and
Senate Armed Services staffs, and in particular I want to thank Vickie
Plunkett, Brian Garrett, Debra Wada, Leonor Tomero, and Doug Bush of
the House minority staff for their work with this effort. I strongly
support this bill and urge my colleagues to pass this measure.
Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill.
As is the case every year for the past decade, this bill contains
many provisions I do support, including two I wrote.
The first is meant to increase suicide prevention and outreach
services for key segments of our Guard and Reserve, specifically
members of the Individual Ready Reserve and Individual Mobilization
Augmentees. These are specific pools of reservists who, when not
assigned to active duty units, live and work among us in our
communities in their civilian occupations. Accordingly, they do not
have ready access to the kinds of mental health resources available to
their active duty counterparts. My amendment would allow the Adjutant
General of any state to request from the Pentagon address data for IRR/
IMA members in his or her state for the purpose of conducting suicide
prevention and outreach activities. I am pleased the committee has
included this provision, as it gives us one more tool to prevent
suicides among our veterans.
[[Page H8046]]
The second amendment directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a
top-to-bottom review of programs in the Department designed to recruit
and retain the scientists, technology experts, mathematicians, and
engineers our national security community will need to meet current and
future threats. This amendment is a direct outgrowth of my work on the
National Commission on Research and Development in the U.S.
Intelligence Community, which published its final report this summer.
It is imperative that American find, train, and retain world-class
talent in these fields. The security of our nation quite literally
depends on it.
Unfortunately, this bill--as it has for years now--continues funding
for the war in Afghanistan. It also freezes in place current force
levels, continues the acquisition of the flawed and hugely overpriced
F-35 fighter, and provides authorization for continued work for
plutonium pit production for nuclear weapons. On balance, this bill
continues a large number of unnecessary and wasteful Cold War era
weapons programs, and maintains our discredited ``war on terror''
posture. Finally, the bill does nothing to address the surveillance
excesses committed by the National Security Agency, which is a combat
support agency of DoD. For all of these reasons, I cannot support this
bill and call on my colleagues to join me in opposing it.
Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman McKeon, Ranking
Member Smith, Chairman Levin, and Ranking Member Inhofe for including
my amendment with Representative Coffman to expand whistleblower
protections for survivors of military sexual assault in this year's
National Defense Authorization Act. As Congress looks to change the
culture and to prevent sexual assaults and other waste, fraud, and
abuse in the military, all service members need to know that they have
protections for providing information to stem abuses. The right to a
guaranteed due process day in administrative court is the foundation
for meaningful reform.
Subsection f(3)(B) in these expanded protections provides that if the
Secretary does not make a finding of illegal retaliation and order
corrective action, the case shall be forwarded to the appropriate Board
of Corrections for Military Records to receive a mandatory
administrative due process hearing, ``when appropriate.'' There should
not be any confusion about this provision. It is always appropriate to
forward the case for hearing if jurisdiction exists for whistleblower
retaliation alleged in the service member's complaint. It is only
inappropriate if another provision of law provides the relevant rights,
procedures and remedies to resolve the complaint, such as when the
alleged misconduct is sexual harassment per se as opposed to
whistleblower retaliation for disclosing sexual harassment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon) that the House suspend the rules
and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 441.
The question was taken.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
Mr. AMASH. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further
proceedings on this motion will be postponed.
