     SEC. 1085. SENSE OF SENATE ON MISUSE OF GOVERNMENT TRAVEL 
                   CHARGE CARDS.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) a finding in a May 2015 report of the Inspector General 
     of the Department of Defense that personnel charged nearly 
     $1,000,000 to government travel charge cards for personal use 
     at casinos and adult entertainment establishments over a one 
     year period demonstrates serious misuse of government travel 
     charge cards, does not comport with the values of the 
     Department, and requires additional oversight to prevent 
     future misuse;
       (2) the Director of the Defense Travel Management Office 
     should work with the Armed Forces, the Defense Agencies, and 
     representatives of financial institutions to determine how to 
     prevent and identify the inappropriate personal use of the 
     government travel charge cards under those and similar 
     circumstances; and
       (3) the Department of Defense should work to expeditiously 
     address any outstanding recommendations in the report of the 
     Inspector General described in paragraph (1).
                                 ______
