     Secretary shall ensure that at least one half of the required 
     cost savings are programmed for fiscal years before fiscal 
     year 2018.
       (2) Treatment of savings pursuant to headquarters 
     reduction.--Documented savings achieved pursuant to the 
     headquarters reduction requirement in subsection (b), other 
     than savings achieved in fiscal year 2020, shall count toward

     management, health care management, financial flow 
     management, information technology infrastructure and 
     management, supply chain and logistics, acquisition and

     headquarters activity in each fiscal year through fiscal year 
     2020. The budget for the Department of Defense for each 
     fiscal year after fiscal year 2016 shall reflect the savings

     of the enactment of this Act, as having been accomplished in 
     earlier fiscal years in accordance with the December 2013 
     directive of the Secretary of Defense on headquarters 
     reductions. The modified plan issued pursuant to paragraph 
     (1) shall include an overall baseline amount for all of the

     remain competitive for increased responsibility and authority 
     through subsequent assignment or promotion, including by 
     identifying--

       (I) circumstances, if any, in which officers spend a 
     disproportionate amount of time in their careers to attain 
     joint officer qualifications with corresponding loss of 
     opportunities to develop in the service-specific assignments 
     needed to gain the increased proficiency and experience to 
     qualify for service and command assignments; and
       (II) circumstances, if any, in which the military 
     departments detail officers to joint headquarters staffs in

     of officers achieving joint duty credit;

     advisory groups, or similar parallel personal staff entities 
     that could risk isolating function and staff processes,

     establish such personal staff organizations and their impact 
     on the effectiveness and efficiency of organizational staff 
     functions, services, capabilities, and capacities; and

     such subsections, the Secretary may, notwithstanding any

     feasibility and advisability of processes and methods for 
     achieving budget-neutrality in the delivery of commissary and 
     exchange benefits and other applicable benchmarks in 
     accordance with this section. The Secretary may authorize any 
     commissary or exchange, or private sector entity, 
     participating in any such pilot program to establish 
     appropriate prices in response to market conditions and 
     customer demand, provided that the level of savings required 
     by paragraph (3) is maintained.
       (2) Benchmarks.--If the Secretary conducts a pilot program 
     under this subsection, the Secretary shall establish 
     specific, measurable benchmarks for measuring success in the

       (A) Before commencing a pilot program the Secretary shall 
     establish a baseline of savings to patrons achieved for each 
     commissary or exchange to participate in such pilot program 
     by comparing prices charged by such commissary or exchange 
     for a representative market basket of goods to prices charged 
     by local competitors for the same market basket of goods.
       (B) After commencement of such pilot program, the Secretary 
     shall ensure that each commissary or exchange, or private 
     sector entity, participating in such pilot program conducts 
     market-basket price comparisons not less than once a month 
     and adjusts pricing as necessary to ensure that pricing 
     achieves savings to patrons under such pilot program that are 
     reasonably consistent with the baseline savings for the 
     commissary or exchange established pursuant to subparagraph 
     (A).
       (4) Duration of authority.--The authority of the Secretary 
     to carry out a pilot program under this subsection shall 
     expire on the date that is five years after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. However, if a pilot program achieves 
     budget-neutrality in the delivery of commissary and exchange 
     benefits and other applicable benchmarks, as measured using 
     the benchmarks required by paragraph (2), the Secretary may 
     continue the pilot program for an additional period of up to 
     five years.
       (5) Reports.--
       (A) Initial reports.--If the Secretary conducts a pilot 
     program under this subsection, the Secretary shall, not later

       (ii) The provisions, if any, of chapter 147 of title 10, 
     United States Code, that will be waived in the conduct of the

     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(d)(1) The milestone decision authority for a major 
     defense acquisition program reaching Milestone A after 
     October 1, 2016, shall be the service acquisition executive 
     of the military department that is managing the program,

     the congressional defense committees on the basis of the 
     Secretary's decision that an alternate official serving as 
     milestone decision authority will best provide for the 
     program to achieve desired cost, schedule, and performance 
     outcomes. No such reversion is authorized after a program has 
     incurred a unit cost increase greater than the significant 
     cost threshold or critical cost threshold under section 2433 
     of this title, except in exceptional circumstances.

     SEC. 828. PENALTY FOR COST OVERRUNS.

       (a) In General.--For each fiscal year beginning with fiscal 
     year 2015, the Secretary of each military department shall 
     pay a penalty for cost overruns on the covered major defense 
     acquisition programs of the military department.
       (b) Calculation of Penalty.--For the purposes of this 
     section:

[[Page H7804]]

       (1) The amount of the cost overrun or underrun on any major 
     defense acquisition program or subprogram in a fiscal year is 
     the difference between the current program acquisition unit 
     cost for the program or subprogram and the program 
     acquisition unit cost for the program as shown in the 
     original Baseline Estimate for the program or subprogram, 
     multiplied by the quantity of items to be purchased under the 
     program or subprogram, as reported in the final Selected 
     Acquisition Report for the fiscal year in accordance with 
     section 2432 of title 10, United States Code.
       (2) Cost overruns or underruns for covered major defense 
     acquisition programs that are joint programs of more than one 
     military department shall be allocated among the military 
     departments in percentages determined by the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
       (3) The cumulative amount of cost overruns for a military 
     department in a fiscal year is the sum of the cost overruns 
     and cost underruns for all covered major defense acquisition 
     programs of the department in the fiscal year (including cost 
     overruns or underruns allocated to the military department in 
     accordance with paragraph (2)).
       (4) The cost overrun penalty for a military department in a 
     fiscal year is three percent of the cumulative amount of cost 
     overruns of the military department in the fiscal year, as 
     determined pursuant to paragraph (3), except that the cost 
     overrun penalty may not be a negative amount.
       (c) Transfer of Funds.--
       (1) Reduction of research, development, test, and 
     evaluation accounts.--Not later than 60 days after the end of 
     each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2015, the 
     Secretary of each military department shall reduce each 
     research, development, test, and evaluation account of the 
     military department by the percentage determined under 
     paragraph (2), and remit such amount to the Secretary of 
     Defense.
       (2) Determination of amount.--The percentage reduction to 
     research, development, test, and evaluation accounts of a 
     military department referred to in paragraph (1) is the 
     percentage reduction to such accounts necessary to equal the 
     cost overrun penalty for the fiscal year for such department 
     determined pursuant to subsection (b)(4).
       (3) Crediting of funds.--Any amount remitted under 
     paragraph (1) shall be credited to the Rapid Prototyping Fund 
     established pursuant to section 804 of this Act.
       (d) Covered Programs.--A major defense acquisition program 
     is covered under this section if the original Baseline 
     Estimate was established for such program under paragraph (1) 
     or (2) of section 2435(d) of title 10, United States Code, on 
     or after May 22, 2009 (which is the date of the enactment of 
     the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (Public Law 
     111-23)).

     DCAA.--
       (1) In general.--Effective on the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Defense Contract Audit Agency may not provide

     of Defense certifies that the backlog for incurred cost 
     audits is less than 18 months of incurred cost inventory.
       (2) Adjustment in funding for reimbursements from non-
     defense agencies.--The amount appropriated and otherwise 
     available to the Defense Contract Audit Agency for a fiscal 
     year beginning after September 30, 2016, shall be reduced by 
     an amount equivalent to any reimbursements received by the 
     Agency from non-Defense Agencies for audit support provided.
       (b) Amendments to Defense Contract Audit Agency Annual 
     Report.--Section 2313a(a) of title 10, United States Code, is

     semicolon;
       (3) by redesignating paragraph (4) as paragraph (5); and
       (4) by inserting after paragraph (3) the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(4) a description of outreach actions toward industry to 
     promote more effective use of audit resources; and''.
       (c) Review of Acquisition Oversight and Audits.--
       (1) Review required.--The Secretary of Defense shall review 
     the oversight and audit structure of the Department of 
     Defense with the goals of--
       (A) enhancing the productivity of oversight and program and 
     contract auditing to avoid duplicative audits; and
       (B) streamlining of oversight reviews.
       (2) Recommendations.--The Secretary shall ensure 
     streamlined oversight reviews and avoidance of duplicative 
     audits and make recommendations in the report required under 
     paragraph (3) for any necessary changes in law.
       (3) Report.--
       (A) Not later than one year after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on actions taken to 
     avoid duplicative audits and streamline oversight reviews.
       (B) The report required under this paragraph shall include 
     the following elements:
       (i) A description of actions taken to avoid duplicative 
     audits and streamline oversight reviews based on the review 
     conducted under paragraph (1).
       (ii) A comparison of commercial industry accounting 
     practices, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley 
     Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-204; 15 U.S.C. 7201 et seq.), 
     with the cost accounting standards prescribed under chapter 
     15 of title 41, United States Code, to determine if some 
     portions of cost accounting standards compliance can be met 
     through such practices or requirements.
       (iii) A description of standards of materiality used by the 
     Defense Contract Audit Agency and the Inspector General of 
     the Department of Defense for defense contract audits.

     a total number and as a percentage of questioned costs.

     SEC. 894. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EVALUATION METHOD FOR 
                   PROCUREMENT OF AUDIT OR AUDIT READINESS 
                   SERVICES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Given the size, scope, and complexity of the Department 
     of Defense, the statutory deadline to establish and maintain 
     auditable financial statements, starting with the fiscal year 
     2018 financial statement, is one of the more challenging 
     management tasks that has ever faced the Department.
       (2) As the military services have never received a clean 
     opinion on their consolidated financial statements and only 
     recently begun auditing portions of their financial 
     statements, the audits of military service financial 
     statements will also be a complex challenge for companies 
     selected to provide audit services.
       (3) The acquisition of services by the Department abides by 
     many rules and parameters, one of which is the lowest price, 
     technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. LPTA is 
     generally appropriate for commercial or noncomplex services 
     or supplies where the requirement is clearly definable and 
     the risk of unsuccessful contract performance is minimal.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     before using the lowest price,

[[Page H7816]]

     technically acceptable evaluation method for the procurement 
     of audit or audit readiness services, the Secretary of 
     Defense should establish the values and metrics for 
     evaluating companies offering audit services, including 
     financial management and audit expertise and experience, 
     personnel qualifications and certifications, past 
     performance, technology, tools, and size.

     SEC. 895. MITIGATING POTENTIAL UNFAIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE 
                   OF TECHNICAL ADVISORS TO ACQUISITION PROGRAMS.

       Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics shall review, and as necessary 
     revise or issue, policy guidance pertaining to the 
     identification, mitigation, and prevention of potential 
     unfair competitive advantage conferred to technical advisors 
     to acquisition programs.

     SEC. 896. SURVEY ON THE COSTS OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

       (a) Survey.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a 
     survey of contractors with the highest level of 
     reimbursements for cost type contracts with the Department of 
     Defense during fiscal year 2014 to estimate industry's cost 
     of regulatory compliance (as a percentage of total costs) 
     with Government-unique acquisition regulations and 
     requirements in the categories of quality assurance, 
     accounting and financial management, contracting and 
     purchasing, program management, engineering, logistics, 
     material management, property administration, and other 
     unique requirements not imposed on contracts for commercial 
     items.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report on the 
     findings of the survey conducted under subsection (a). The 
     data received as a result of the survey and included in the 
     report shall be aggregated to protect against the public 
     release of proprietary information.

     SEC. 897. TREATMENT OF INTERAGENCY AND STATE AND LOCAL 
                   PURCHASES WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTS 
                   AS CONTRACT INTERMEDIARY FOR THE GENERAL 
                   SERVICES ADMINISTRATION.

       Contracts executed by the Department of Defense as a result 
     of the transfer of contracts from the General Services 
     Administration or for which the Department serves as an item 
     manager for products on behalf of the General Services 
     Administration shall not be subject to requirements under 
     chapter 148 of title 10, United States Code, to the extent 
     such contracts are for purchases of products by other Federal 
     agencies or State or local governments.

     SEC. 898. COMPETITION FOR RELIGIOUS SERVICES CONTRACTS.

       The Department of Defense may not preclude a non-profit

     SEC. 899. PILOT PROGRAM REGARDING RISK-BASED CONTRACTING FOR 
                   SMALLER CONTRACT ACTIONS UNDER THE TRUTH IN 
                   NEGOTIATIONS ACT.

       (a) Pilot Program Authorized.--The Secretary of Defense may 
     conduct a pilot program to demonstrate the efficacy of using 
     risk-based techniques in requiring submission of data on a 
     sampling basis for purposes of section 2306a of title 10, 
     United States Code (popularly known as the ``Truth in 
     Negotiations Act'').
       (b) Increase in Thresholds.--For purposes of a pilot 
     program under subsection (a), $5,000,000 shall be the 
     threshold applicable to requirements under paragraph (1) of 
     section 2306a(a) of such title, as follows:
       (1) The requirement under subparagraph (A) of such 
     paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for a prime contract 
     entered into during the pilot program period.
       (2) The requirement under subparagraph (B) of such 
     paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for the change or 
     modification to a prime contract made during the pilot

       (3) The requirement under subparagraph (C) of such 
     paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for a subcontract 
     entered into during the pilot program period.
       (4) The requirement under subparagraph (D) of such 
     paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for the change or

     period.
       (c) Risk-based Contracting.--
       (1) Authority to require submission of cost or pricing data 
     on below-threshold contracts.--Subject to paragraph (4), when 
     certified cost or pricing data are not required to be 
     submitted pursuant to subsection (b) for a contract or 
     subcontract entered into or modified during the pilot program 
     period, such data may nevertheless be required to be 
     submitted by the head of the procuring activity, if the head 
     of the procuring activity--
       (A) determines that such data are necessary for the 
     evaluation by the agency of the reasonableness of the price 
     of the contract, subcontract, or modification of a contract 
     or subcontract; or
       (B) requires the submission of such data in accordance with 
     a risk-based contracting approach established pursuant to 
     paragraph (3).
       (2) Written determination required.--In any case in which 
     the head of the procuring activity requires certified cost or 
     pricing data to be submitted under paragraph (1)(A), the head 
     of the procuring activity shall justify in writing the reason 
     for such requirement.
       (3) Risk-based contracting.--The head of an agency shall 
     establish a risk-based sampling approach under which the 
     submission of certified cost or pricing data may be required 
     for a risk-based sample of contracts, the price of which is 
     expected to exceed $750,000 but not $5,000,000. The authority 
     to require certified cost or pricing data under this 
     paragraph shall not apply to any contract of an offeror that 
     has not been awarded, for at least the one-year period 
     preceding the issuance of a solicitation for the contract, 
     any other contract in excess of $5,000,000 under which the 
     offeror was required to submit certified cost or pricing data 
     under section 2306a of title 10, United States Code.
       (4) Exception.--The head of the procuring activity may not 
     require certified cost or pricing data to be submitted under 
     this subsection for any contract or subcontract, or 
     modification of a contract or subcontract, covered by the 
     exceptions in subparagraph (A) or (B) of section 2306a(b)(1) 
     of title 10, United States Code.
       (5) Delegation of authority prohibited.--The head of a 
     procuring activity may not delegate functions under this

     1, 2019, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on activities 
     undertaken under this section.
       (e) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Head of an agency.--The term ``head of an agency'' has 
     the meaning given the term in section 2302 of title 10, 
     United States Code.

     period'' means the period beginning on October 1, 2016, and

      TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

Sec. 901. Update of statutory specification of functions of the 
              Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff relating to joint 
              force development activities.
Sec. 902. Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps.

     SEC. 901. UPDATE OF STATUTORY SPECIFICATION OF FUNCTIONS OF 
                   THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF 
                   RELATING TO JOINT FORCE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.

       Section 153(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code, is 
     amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
       ``(F) Advising the Secretary on development of joint 
     command, control, communications, and cyber capability, 
     including integration and interoperability of such 
     capability, through requirements, integrated architectures, 
     data standards, and assessments.''.

     SEC. 902. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES MARINE 
                   CORPS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) As senior United States statesman Dr. Henry Kissinger 
     wrote in testimony submitted to the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate on January 29, 2015, ``The United 
     States has not faced a more diverse and complex array of 
     crises since the end of the Second World War.''.
       (2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer competitors 
     has introduced destabilizing pressures around the globe.
       (3) Advances in information and weapons technology have 
     reduced the time available for the United States to prepare 
     for and respond to crises against both known and unknown 
     threats.
       (4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be 
     overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, Marine 
     Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy, ``A Cooperative 
     Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: Forward, Engaged, 
     Ready'': ``Oceans are the lifeblood of the interconnected 
     global community. . . 90 percent of trade by volume travels 
     across the oceans. Approximately 70 percent of the world's 
     population lives within 100 miles of the coastline.''.
       (5) The United States must be prepared to rapidly respond 
     to crises around the world regardless of the nation's fiscal 
     health.
       (6) In this global security environment, it is critical 
     that the nation possess a maritime force whose mission and 
     ethos is readiness--a fight tonight force, forward deployed, 
     that can respond immediately to emergent crises across the 
     full range of military operations around the globe either 
     from the sea or home station.
       (7) The need for such a force was recognized by the 82nd 
     Congress during the Korean War, when it mandated a core 
     mission for the nation's leanest force--the Marine Corps--to 
     be most ready when the nation is least ready.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy, 
     remain the Nation's expeditionary, crisis response force;
       (2) the need for such a force with such a capability has 
     never been greater; and
       (3) accordingly, in recognition of this need and the wisdom 
     of the 82nd Congress, the 114th Congress reaffirms section 
     5063 of title 10, United States Code, which states that the 
     Marine Corps--
       (A) shall--
       (i) be organized to include not less than three combat 
     divisions and three air wings, and such other land combat, 
     aviation, and other services as may be organic therein;

[[Page H7817]]

       (ii) be organized, trained, and equipped to provide fleet 
     marine forces of combined arms, together with supporting air 
     components, for service with the fleet in the seizure or 
     defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such 
     land operations as may be essential to the prosecution of a 
     naval campaign; and
       (iii) provide detachments and organizations for service on 
     armed vessels of the Navy, provide security detachments for 
     the protection of naval property at naval stations and bases, 
     and perform such other duties as the President may direct;
     but these additional duties may not detract from nor 
     interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps is 
     primarily organized;
       (B) shall develop, in coordination with the Army and the 
     Air Force, those phases of amphibious operations that pertain 
     to the tactics, techniques, and equipment used by landing 
     forces; and
       (C) is responsible, in accordance with the integrated joint 
     mobilization plans, for the expansion of peacetime components 
     of the Marine Corps to meet the needs of war.

       (1) Authority.--Upon determination by the Secretary of 
     Defense that such action is necessary in the national 
     interest, the Secretary may transfer amounts of 
     authorizations made available to the Department of Defense in 
     this division for fiscal year 2016 between any such 
     authorizations for that fiscal year (or any subdivisions 
     thereof). Amounts of authorizations so transferred shall be 
     merged with and be available for the same purposes as the 
     authorization to which transferred.
       (2) Limitation.--Except as provided in paragraph (3), the 
     total amount of authorizations that the Secretary may 
     transfer under the authority of this section may not exceed 
     $4,500,000,000.
       (3) Exception for transfers between military personnel 
     authorizations.--A transfer of funds between military 
     personnel authorizations under title IV shall not be counted 
     toward the dollar limitation in paragraph (2).
       (b) Limitations.--The authority provided by subsection (a) 
     to transfer authorizations--
       (1) may only be used to provide authority for items that 
     have a higher priority than the items from which authority is 
     transferred; and
       (2) may not be used to provide authority for an item that 
     has been denied authorization by Congress.
       (c) Effect on Authorization Amounts.--A transfer made from 
     one account to another under the authority of this section 
     shall be deemed to increase the amount authorized for the 
     account to which the amount is transferred by an amount equal 
     to the amount transferred.
       (d) Notice to Congress.--The Secretary shall promptly 
     notify Congress of each transfer made under subsection (a).

     subsection (a) shall be established by not later than 
     September 30, 2017, and be available for use for the full 
     audit on the financial statements of the Department of 
     Defense for fiscal year 2018, as required by section 1003(a) 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year

     as required by law. The report should not include information 
     otherwise available in other reports to Congress.

     SEC. 1004. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SEQUESTRATION.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the fiscal challenges of the Federal Government are a 
     top priority for Congress, and sequestration--non-strategic, 
     across-the-board budget cuts--remains an unreasonable and 
     inadequate budgeting tool to address the deficits and debt of 
     the Federal Government;
       (2) budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 
     (Public Law 112-25) impose unacceptable limitations on the 
     budget and increase risk to the national security of the 
     United States; and
       (3) the budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 
     2011 must be modified or eliminated through a bipartisan 
     legislative agreement.

     such component by an independent external auditor.
       (b) Selection of Auditors.--The selection of independent

     described in subsection (a) in accordance with applicable 
     generally accepted government auditing standards. The 
     Inspector General shall participate in the selection of the

     section--
       (1) shall be implemented in a manner that is consistent 
     with the requirements of section 1008 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (Public Law 107-107; 
     10 U.S.C. 113 note);
       (2) shall not be construed to alter the requirement under 
     section 3521(e) of title 31, United States Code, that the 
     financial statements of the Department of Defense as a whole 
     be audited by the Inspector General or by an independent

       (1) The stability and security of Central American nations 
     have a direct impact on the stability and security of the 
     United States.
       (2) Over the past decade, increased stability and security 
     in the Republic of Colombia has displaced illicit trafficking 
     to Central America, bringing with it increased violence and 
     instability.
       (3) According to the Global Study on Homicide 2013 of the 
     United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, four of the top 
     five countries with the highest homicide rates in the world 
     were Central American nations, including Honduras, Belize, El 
     Salvador, and Guatemala.
       (4) In 2014, approximately 65,000 unaccompanied alien 
     children from Central America entered the United States 
     through its southwest border.
       (5) In November 2014, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador 
     announced a Plan for the Alliance for Prosperity of the 
     Northern Triangle, which is a comprehensive approach to 
     address the ongoing violence and instability facing these 
     three nations by stimulating economic opportunities, 
     improving public safety and rule of law, and strengthening 
     institutions to increase trust in the state.
       (6) The United States Government is supportive of the 
     Alliance for Prosperity, and President's strategy for support 
     includes $1,000,000,000 focused on promoting prosperity and 
     regional economic integration, enhancing security, and 
     promoting improved governance.
       (7) The Department of Defense continues to build the 
     capacity of our partners in the region to address their 
     security challenges and confront threats of mutual concern.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should, to the extent practicable, 
     prioritize efforts to address the threatening levels of 
     violence, instability, illicit trafficking, and transnational 
     organized crime that challenge the sovereignty of Central 
     American nations and the security of the United States; and
       (2) in order to address such issues, the Department of 
     Defense, to the extent practicable, should--
       (A) increase its operations, as the lead agency of the 
     United States Government, to detect and monitor aerial and 
     maritime illicit trafficking into the United States;
       (B) increase its efforts to support aerial and maritime 
     illicit trafficking interdiction operations;
       (C) increase its operations to build the capacity of 
     partner nations in Central America to confront their own 
     security challenges;
       (D) support interagency programs and activities in Central 
     America addressing instability, including development, 
     education, economic, political, and security challenges; and
       (E) promote observance of and respect for human rights and 
     fundamental freedoms and respect for civilian control of the 
     military.

     SEC. 1232. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN'S 
                   MALIGN ACTIVITIES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) Iran continues to conduct a range of malign military 
     and intelligence activities in the region and around the 
     globe which constitute a significant threat to regional 
     stability and the national security interests of the United 
     States and our allies and partners;
       (2) Iran continues funding its conventional and 
     unconventional military development, including its ballistic 
     missile development programs, and its acquisition of 
     destabilizing conventional weapons, which requires the United 
     States to continue to support and build the collective 
     capacity of our allies and partners in the region to address 
     threats;
       (3) the sale of advanced weaponry, including advance air 
     defense systems, to the Government of Iran increases the risk 
     of further destabilizing the region;
       (4) Iran's malign activities, continued state sponsorship 
     of terrorism, and the violation of the human rights of the 
     Iranian people justify continued pressure by the United 
     States; and
       (5) the United States should continue to enhance the 
     region's security architecture, build our partners' capacity 
     to respond to external aggression, increase the

       (3) efforts taken by the President to compel the Russian 
     Federation to return to compliance with the INF Treaty, 
     including by developing military and nonmilitary options, 
     must be persistent and are in the best interests of the 
     United States, but cannot be open-ended;

     with respect to the INF Treaty, but also its illegal 
     occupation of the sovereign territory of another nation, its 
     plans for stationing nuclear weapons on that nation's 
     territory, and its cheating and violation of as many as eight

     return to full compliance with the INF Treaty, including by

     SEC. 1616. LIMITATIONS ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR THE 
                   DEFENSE METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE PROGRAM.

       (a) Limitation.--
       (1) Fiscal year 2016 funds.--None of the funds authorized 
     to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available 
     for fiscal year 2016 for the Defense Meteorological Satellite 
     program or for the launch of Defense Meteorological Satellite 
     program satellite #20 (in this section referred to as 
     ``DMSP20'') may be obligated or expended until the date on 
     which the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff jointly submit to the congressional defense 
     committees the certification described in subsection (b).
       (2) Remaining fiscal year 2015 funds.--Of the funds 
     authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for 
     fiscal year 2015 for the Defense Meteorological Satellite 
     program or the launch of DMSP20 that remain available for 
     obligation as of the date of the enactment of this Act, not 
     more than 50 percent may be obligated or expended until the 
     date on which the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff jointly submit to the congressional 
     defense committees the certification described in subsection 
     (b).
       (b) Certification.--The certification described in this 
     subsection is a certification that--
       (1) the Joint Requirements Oversight Council has conducted 
     a recent review and certification of the space-based 
     environmental monitoring requirements while taking into 
     consideration the changes in international allied plans and 
     the feedback of the military departments and Defense Agencies 
     (as defined in section 101(a) of title 10, United States 
     Code);
       (2) relying on civil and international contributions to 
     meet space-based environmental monitoring requirements is 
     insufficient or is a risk to national security and launching 
     DMSP20 will meet those requirements;

[[Page H7860]]

       (3) launching DMSP20 is the most affordable solution to 
     meeting requirements validated by the Joint Requirements 
     Oversight Council; and
       (4) nonmaterial solutions within the Department of Defense, 
     the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration are incapable 
     of meeting the cloud characterization and theater weather 
     requirements validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight 
     Council.
       (c) Comparative Cost and Capability Assessment.--If the 
     Secretary and the Chairman determine that a material solution 
     is required to meet the cloud characterization and theater 
     weather requirements validated by the Joint Requirements 
     Oversight Council, the Secretary and the Chairman shall 
     jointly submit to the congressional defense committees a cost 
     and capability assessment that compares the cost of meeting 
     those requirements with DMSP20 and with an alternate material 
     solution that includes electro-optical infrared weather 
     imaging or other comparable solutions.

     private sector;
       (2) facilitate Government, State, and private sector 
     involvement in enhancing United States launch sites and 
     facilities;
       (3) protect public health and safety, safety of property,

     the United States; and
       (4) consult with the head of another executive agency, 
     including the Secretary of Defense or the Administrator of 
     the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as 
     necessary to provide consistent application of licensing

     SEC. 1660. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NUCLEAR FORCE IMPROVEMENT 
                   PROGRAM OF THE AIR FORCE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) On February 6, 2014, Air Force Global Strike Command 
     initiated a force improvement program for the 
     intercontinental ballistic missile force designed to improve 
     mission effectiveness, strengthen culture and morale, and 
     identify areas in need of investment by soliciting input from 
     airmen performing intercontinental ballistic missile 
     operations.
       (2) The intercontinental ballistic missile force 
     improvement program generated more than 300 recommendations 
     to strengthen intercontinental ballistic missile operations 
     and served as a model for subsequent force improvement 
     programs in other mission areas, such as bomber operations 
     and sustainment.
       (3) On May 28, 2014, as part of the nuclear force 
     improvement program, the Air Force announced it would make 
     immediate improvements in the nuclear mission of the Air 
     Force, including enhancing career opportunities for airmen in 
     the nuclear career field, ensuring training activities 
     focused on performing the mission in the field, reforming the 
     personnel reliability program, establishing special pay rates 
     for positions in the nuclear career field, and creating a new 
     service medal for nuclear deterrence operations.
       (4) Chief of Staff of the Air Force Mark Welsh has said 
     that, as part of the nuclear force improvement program, the 
     Air Force will increase nuclear-manning levels and strengthen 
     professional development for the members of the Air Force 
     supporting the nuclear mission of the Air Force in order ``to 
     address shortfalls and offer our airmen more stable work 
     schedule and better quality of life''.
       (5) Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, in 
     recognition of the importance of the nuclear mission of the 
     Air Force, proposed elevating the grade of the commander of 
     the Air Force Global Strike Command from lieutenant general 
     to general, and on March 30, 2015, the Senate confirmed a 
     general as commander of that command.
       (6) The Air Force redirected more than $160,000,000 in 
     fiscal year 2014 to alleviate urgent, near-term shortfalls 
     within the nuclear mission of the Air Force as part of the 
     nuclear force improvement program.
       (7) The Air Force plans to spend more than $200,000,000 on 
     the nuclear force improvement program in fiscal year 2015, 
     and requested more than $130,000,000 for the program for 
     fiscal year 2016.
       (8) Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said on November 14, 
     2014, that ``[t]he nuclear mission plays a critical role in 
     ensuring the Nation's safety. No other enterprise we have is 
     more important''.
       (9) Secretary Hagel also said that the budget for the 
     nuclear mission of the Air Force should increase by 10 
     percent over a five-year period.
       (10) Section 1652 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3654; 10 U.S.C. 491 note) 
     declares it the policy of the United States ``to ensure that 
     the members of the Armed Forces who operate the nuclear 
     deterrent of the United States have the training, resources, 
     and national support required to execute the critical 
     national security mission of the members''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the nuclear mission of the Air Force should be a top 
     priority for the Department of the Air Force and for 
     Congress;
       (2) the members of the Air Force who operate and maintain 
     the nuclear deterrent of the United States perform work that 
     is vital to the security of the United States;
       (3) the nuclear force improvement program of the Air Force 
     has made significant near-term improvements for the members 
     of the Air Force in the nuclear career field of the Air 
     Force;
       (4) Congress should support long-term investments in the 
     Air Force nuclear enterprise that sustain the progress made 
     under the nuclear force improvement program;
       (5) the Air Force should--
       (A) regularly inform Congress on the progress being made 
     under the nuclear force improvement program and its efforts 
     to strengthen the nuclear enterprise; and

[[Page H7866]]

       (B) make Congress aware of any additional actions that 
     should be taken to optimize performance of the nuclear 
     mission of the Air Force and maximize the strength of the 
     strategic deterrent of the United States; and
       (6) future budgets for the Air Force should reflect the 
     importance of the nuclear mission of the Air Force and the 
     need to provide members of the Air Force assigned to the 
     nuclear mission the best possible support and quality of 
     life.

     operating contracts for the national security laboratories 
     has resulted in significant increases in fees paid to the 
     contractors--funding that otherwise could be used to support 
     program and mission activities of the National Nuclear 
     Security Administration;
       (2) competition of the management and operating contracts 
     of the nuclear security enterprise is an important mechanism 
     to help realize cost savings, seek efficiencies, improve 
     performance, and hold contractors accountable;
       (3) when the Administrator for Nuclear Security considers 
     it appropriate to achieve those goals, the Administrator 
     should conduct competition of such contracts while 
     recognizing the unique nature of federally funded research 
     and development centers; and
       (4) the Administrator should ensure that fixed fees and 
     performance-based fees contained in management and operating 
     contracts are as low as possible to maintain a focus on 
     national service while attracting high-quality contractors 
     and achieving the goals of the competition.

     nuclear deterrent and the national security of the United 
     States; and
       (3) timelines for creating certain capacities for 
     production of plutonium pits and other nuclear weapons 
     components must be driven by the requirement to hedge against 
     technical and geopolitical risk and not solely by the needs 
     of life extension programs.
       (b) Briefing.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than March 1, 2016, the Chairman 
     of the Nuclear Weapons Council established under section 179

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.


                             General Leave

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and 
insert extraneous material on the bill under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 4 minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, first let me say I very much value and appreciate the 
partnership that I have on the Committee on Armed Services with the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith). I also very much value and 
appreciate the work of our staff on both sides of the aisle during what 
has been something of a roller coaster year.
  Let me take just a moment to review where we are and how we got here. 
Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Armed Services reported out the fiscal 
year 2016 Defense Authorization Act on April 29, 2015, by a vote of 60-
2.
  During full committee markup, 211 amendments were adopted, about 
evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. Then on the floor, 
131 amendments were adopted, again, from both sides of the aisle. After 
weeks of conference with the Senate, a conference report containing 647 
provisions was reported out.
  Now, that conference report was the result of bipartisan effort and 
bipartisan input every step of the way. The conference report passed 
this House 270-156, and then it passed the Senate by a vote of 70-27. 
Then, on October 22, the President vetoed the bill to try to force 
Congress to increase spending in other areas. As The Washington Post

[[Page H7955]]

wrote: ``It was historic, but not in a good way.''
  Well, last week the Congress passed and the President signed the 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 not because of the President's veto of 
the defense bill, but because we were up against the debt limit and 
because Speaker Boehner was on the way out and was trying to get some 
things resolved. So what we have before us now is the same bill as the 
conference report, with funding adjustments to reflect the bill we 
passed last week. Otherwise, it is the same bill.
  Now, I understand the White House press secretary has said the 
President will not veto the bill this time. So I hope, Mr. Speaker, 
that this year has been an anomaly, that never again does the bill that 
supports our troops become a political bargaining chip in a political 
game. I would just say, our troops deserve better than that.
  This bill has a lot of important provisions, and we have talked about 
them on this floor before: acquisition reform; a new retirement system 
for the military that allows the 83 percent of the people who serve who 
leave with no retirement to put aside a nest egg and save for 
retirement; and changes to the formulary so that, if someone is on a 
particular drug for post-traumatic stress when they are in the 
military, they can stay on that drug when they move to the VA.
  This bill takes additional steps for sexual assault, authorizes 
defensive weapons for the Ukraine, gives the President more options to 
assist the Kurds, the Sunnis, and others who are fighting ISIS. We take 
steps to help protect the country against missile attacks.
  It increases support for Israeli missile defense by about $300 
billion over what the President requested. It allows commanders the 
discretion to determine when and where folks on their military base can 
carry personal firearms. It sunsets a number of reports. The list could 
go on and on.
  Bottom line, Mr. Speaker, is this bill is good for the troops and 
good for the country. Hopefully all of the political maneuvering is 
behind us and, as we move into Veterans Day, we can do the right thing 
and pass this bill with a very, very strong vote.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO ACCOMPANY S. 1356, THE NATIONAL DEFENSE 
                 AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016

       The following consists of the explanatory material to 
     accompany S. 1356, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016.
       Section 5 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. 
     1735, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2016 as passed by the House of Representatives on May 15, 
     2015, are generally referred to as ``the House bill.'' The 
     provisions of the Senate amendment to H.R. 1735, the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 as passed by 
     the Senate on June 18, 2015, are generally referred to as 
     ``the Senate amendment.'' The final form of the agreements 
     reached during negotiations between the House and the Senate 
     are referred to as ``the agreement.'' References in the joint 
     explanatory statement that ``the House recedes'' or ``the 
     Senate recedes'' on a particular provision reflects the 
     outcome from the conference agreement on H.R. 1735.
       On October 1, 2015, the Conference Report to accompany H.R. 
     1735 was agreed to in the House by the Yeas and Nays [270-
     156]. On October 7, 2015, the Conference Report was agreed to 
     in the Senate by the Yeas and Nays [70-27]. On October 22, 
     2015, H.R. 1735 was vetoed by the President and was returned 
     to the House.
       On October 28, 2015, the House passed H.R. 1314, the 
     Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, by the Yeas and Nays [266-
     167], and on October 30, 2015, the Senate also passed H.R. 
     1314 by Yea-Nay vote [64-35]. The President signed the bill 
     on November 2, 2015. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 
     (Public Law 114-74) did not fully fund account 050 to the 
     level requested by the President in his budget submission, 
     and as agreed to by the conferees and authorized in H.R. 
     1735. As a result, the agreement includes a reduction of $5.0 
     billion from the level authorized in H.R. 1735 to conform to 
     Public Law 114-74. The agreement between the two Houses 
     addressed, in part, the concerns regarding the budget impact 
     of H.R. 1735 expressed by the President in his veto message 
     returning H.R. 1735 to the House. The resulting agreement was 
     incorporated S. 1356, the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2016.
     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 text reflected 
     in the agreement 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 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 2016 was $604.2 billion. Of this amount, $534.2 
     billion was requested for base Department of Defense 
     programs, $50.9 billion was requested for overseas 
     contingency operations, and $19.0 billion was requested for 
     national security programs in the Department of Energy and 
     the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.
       The agreement would authorize $599.2 billion in fiscal year 
     2016, including $521.9 billion for base Department of Defense 
     programs, $58.8 billion for overseas contingency operations, 
     and $18.6 billion for national security programs in the 
     Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities 
     Safety Board. The agreement reflects the $5.0 billion 
     reduction to the President's budget request for national 
     security (050) in order to conform to the revised budget caps 
     contained in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 
     114-74). It further reflects a realignment of some funds from 
     the accounts for overseas contingency operations to the base 
     budget.
       The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments 
     in Division D of the accompanying joint statement of managers 
     summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement 
     and the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 
     2016 defense programs.
     Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 4) that 
     would require the budgetary effects of this Act be determined 
     in accordance with the procedures established in title I of 
     the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-139).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes the Senate provision.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          Title I--Procurement


                              BUDGET ITEMS

                                  ARMY

     Stryker vehicle lethality upgrades
       The House bill contained an increase in funding for Stryker 
     vehicle lethality upgrades of $35.0 million in Research, 
     Development, Test & Evaluation, Army and $44.5 million in 
     Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army 
     respectively.
       The Senate amendment contained an increase in these same 
     funding areas of $97.0 million and $314.0 million, 
     respectively.
       The agreement, in Sections 4101 and 4102, includes 
     increased funding in line with the Senate amendment.
       We support the Army's plan to upgrade 81 Stryker vehicles 
     with increased lethality as requested by the U.S. Army Europe 
     in a recent Operational Need Statement. We understand the 
     urgency for this requirement given heightened security 
     concerns of our NATO partners due to Russian aggression in 
     Ukraine. As such, we expect the rapid production of fully 
     serviceable, upgraded Strykers. In order to meet the 
     compressed timeline for fielding upgraded Strykers to the 2nd 
     Cavalry Regiment, we expect the Army to manage this program 
     with dispatch and efficiency. Identified risks associated 
     with cost, schedule, and performance are to be managed with 
     focused controls and leadership. We view this initiative, 
     which is intended to increase the combat power of a forward 
     deployed unit, as an opportunity to succeed in accordance 
     with significant acquisition reforms illustrated in many 
     provisions within this bill.
       With regard to cost, we note the Army currently plans on 
     starting with existing chassis of Stryker vehicles discarded 
     during the upgrade to Double V Hull (DVH) Strykers. This 
     approach appears to add significantly to the unit cost for 
     the lethality upgrades which the Army has informed the 
     defense committees may be approximately $4.5 million per 
     vehicle. We note that the Army already has extensive upgrade 
     programs for the Stryker vehicle to include additional DVH 
     Strykers and the Engineering Change Proposal modernization 
     program. It is unclear if the Army ultimately plans on adding 
     the lethality initiative to DVH Strykers, including those 
     equipped with the Engineering Change Proposal upgrade. We are 
     concerned that simply adding a broad Stryker lethality 
     package for the Army's Stryker Brigade Combat Teams could add 
     billions of dollars to the already stressed resources of the 
     combat vehicle portfolio. Therefore, the committee encourages 
     the Army to reduce the unit cost of the Stryker lethality 
     upgrade program and evaluate ways to more efficiently pursue 
     upgrades to the Stryker vehicle fleet and Stryker Brigade 
     Combat Teams.

                               AIR FORCE

     C-130H Modifications
       The base budget request included $7.0 million in Aircraft 
     Procurement, Air Force, Line 44 for C-130.
       The House bill authorized a funding increase in that line 
     item of $73.2 million for the restructured C-130 Avionics 
     Modernization Program (AMP) Increments I and II ($10.0 
     million), T-56 3.5 Engine Modification ($33.2 million), and 
     Eight-bladed Propeller ($30.0 million).
       The Senate amendment would authorize an increase in that 
     line item by $123.2 million for the restructured C-130 AMP 
     Increments I and II ($75.0 million), T-56 3.5 Engine 
     Modification ($33.2 million), Electronic Propeller Control 
     System ($13.5 million), and In-flight Propeller Balancing 
     System certification ($1.5 million).
       The agreement authorizes a total funding increase for 
     Aircraft Procurement, Air Force, Line 44 of $139.2 million 
     for the restructured C-130 AMP Increments I and II ($75.0 
     million), T-56 3.5 Engine Modification ($33.2 million), 
     Eight-Bladed Propeller ($16.0 million), Electronic Propeller 
     Control System ($13.5 million), and In-flight Propeller 
     Balancing System certification ($1.5 million).


              subtitle a--authorization of appropriations

       The Senate recedes.
     Roadmap for replacement of A/MH-6 Mission Enhanced Little 
         Bird aircraft to meet special operations requirements 
         (sec. 112)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 142) that would 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a strategy for the 
     replacement of the A/MH-6 Mission Enhanced Little Bird 
     aircraft to meet requirements particular to special 
     operations for future rotary-wing, light attack, and 
     reconnaissance requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Report on Options to Accelerate Replacement of UH-60A 
         Blackhawk Helicopters of Army National Guard (sec. 113)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 113) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees by March 1, 2016, containing 
     detailed options for the potential acceleration of the 
     replacement of all UH-60A helicopters of the Army National 
     Guard.

     express the sense of Congress regarding the survivability and 
     operational performance benefits provided by tactical wheeled 
     vehicle add-on armor protection kits for the Army's heavy 
     tactical wheeled vehicle fleet.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.


                       SUBTITLE C--NAVY PROGRAMS

     Modification of CVN-78 class aircraft carrier program (sec. 
         121)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 114) that 
     would amend subsection (f) of section 122 of the John Warner 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 
     (Public Law 109-364; 120 Stat. 2104), as added by section 
     121(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66; 127 Stat. 692), by adding a 
     reporting requirement to the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) 
     quarterly report. Beginning January 1, 2016, the Secretary of 
     the Navy would be required to submit, as part of the CVN-79 
     quarterly report, a description of new design and engineering 
     changes to CVN-78 class aircraft carriers that exceed $5.0 
     million and occurred during the reporting period. The 
     provision would require the report to include program or ship 
     cost increases for each design or engineering change and any 
     cost reduction achieved. The Secretary of the Navy and Chief 
     of Naval Operations would each be required to sign this 
     additional reporting requirement and would be precluded from 
     delegating the certification. The required certification 
     would have to include a determination that each change serves 
     the national security interests of the United States; cannot 
     be deferred to a future ship due to operational necessity, 
     safety, or substantial cost reduction; and was reviewed and 
     endorsed by the Secretary of the Navy and Chief of Naval 
     Operations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Amendment to cost limitation baseline for CVN-78 class 
         aircraft carrier program (sec. 122)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) that 
     would further amend section 122 of the John Warner National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 
     109-364) as amended by section 121(a) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) by 
     adjusting the procurement cost cap for USS John F. Kennedy 
     (CVN-79) and subsequent CVN-78 class aircraft carriers from 
     $11,498,000,000 to $11,398,000,000.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add an 
     additional amendment to section 121(b) of the John Warner 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 
     (Public Law 109-364), as amended by section 121(a) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 
     (Public Law 113-66). We recognize that the Department of the 
     Navy has made considerable gains in controlling the cost of 
     CVN-78 class aircraft carriers and believe further efforts at 
     cost reduction are warranted. The current cost cap and cost 
     estimate for CVN-79 is $11.5 billion, which includes only 
     limited program management reserve for unforeseeable issues 
     during CVN-79 construction. We expect the Department to 
     continue to employ efforts to reduce costs on this ship class 
     and accordingly are lowering the Congressional cap to $11.4 
     billion. However, if during construction of CVN-79 the Chief 
     of Naval Operations determines that measures required to 
     complete the ship within the revised cost cap shall result in 
     an unacceptable reduction to the ship's operational 
     capability, the Secretary of the Navy may increase the CVN-79 
     cost cap up to $11.5 billion. If such action is taken, the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall adhere to the notification 
     requirements specified in section 121(d) of the John Warner 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 
     (Public Law 109-364).
       We note that section 122 of the John Warner National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 
     109-364) set the cost cap for the lead ship at $10.5 billion, 
     plus adjustments for inflation and other factors, and at $8.1 
     billion for subsequent CVN-78 class carriers, plus 
     adjustments for inflation and other factors. Section 122 was 
     amended by section 121(a) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), 
     which revised the cost cap for the lead ship to $12.9 
     billion, plus adjustments for inflation and other factors, 
     and to $11.5 billion for subsequent CVN-78 class carriers, 
     plus adjustments for inflation and other factors. We 
     understand 90 percent or $3.1 billion of the $3.4 billion 
     increase in the cost cap for follow-on ships is attributable 
     to economic inflation, which includes actual inflation 
     realized and updated projections of future inflation based on 
     Navy shipbuilding inflation indices. In view of this 
     significant cost growth attributed to inflation, the 
     Congressional Budget Office is directed to provide a report 
     to the congressional defense committees no later than 
     December 1, 2015 that includes the following elements:
       (1) Explanation of how inflation was calculated and 
     projected in the cost estimates for CVN-78 class aircraft 
     carriers in each annual budget from fiscal year 2007 to 
     fiscal year 2015;
       (2) Description of inflation rates for CVN-78, CVN-79, and 
     CVN-80, by fiscal year, from fiscal year 2007 until the 
     obligation work limiting date for each ship;
       (3) Comparison of projected inflation rates vs. actual 
     inflation rates for CVN-78 class aircraft carriers, by fiscal 
     year, from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2015;
       (4) Explanation of the key factors that are used to plan 
     for and calculate current and projected inflation rates for 
     CVN-78 class aircraft carrier cost estimates;
       (5) Explanation of root causes of inflation escalation 
     above the planned inflation assumed in CVN-78 class aircraft 
     carrier cost estimates; and
       (6) Component-level explanation of the $3.1 billion 
     increase in the cost estimate for CVN-79 and following 
     aircraft carriers attributable to economic inflation.
     Extension and modification of limitation on availability of 
         funds for Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 123)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 116) that 
     would amend section 123 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by extending the limitation on 
     funds for LCS-25 and LCS-26 until pre-existing requirements 
     are met and would additionally require the Navy to provide to 
     the congressional defense committees the following: an 
     acquisition strategy for LCS-25 through LCS-32; a LCS mission 
     module acquisition strategy; a plan to outfit Flight 0 and 
     Flight 0+ Littoral Combat Ships with capabilities identified 
     for the upgraded Littoral Combat Ship; and a current test and 
     evaluation master plan for the Littoral Combat Ship mission 
     modules.

     Modification to multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh 
         Burke-class destroyers and associated systems (sec. 124)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would 
     amend section 123(a) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to clarify that 
     the Secretary of the Navy has the authority to procure Flight 
     III destroyers as part of the existing Arleigh Burke-class 
     multiyear procurement authority.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The Senate report accompanying S. 3254 (S. Rept. 112-173) 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2013 described Senate intent regarding the current multiyear 
     procurement authority for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and 
     associated systems. The Senate report supported the change to 
     buying Flight III destroyers through an engineering change 
     proposal and the inclusion of such ships in the multiyear 
     procurement authority, following submission of a specified 
     report. The House report accompanying H.R. 1960 (H. Rept. 
     113-102) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2014 expressed concern about the physical limitations 
     associated with the integration of the Air and Missile 
     Defense Radar on the Flight III version of the Arleigh Burke-
     class destroyer and requested a report to assess this 
     integration process. Having received the required reports, we 
     support the changes proposed by the Secretary of the Navy to 
     integrate the Air and Missile Defense Radar into the Arleigh 
     Burke-class destroyers and the addition of these Flight III 
     ships to the current Arleigh Burke-class multiyear 
     procurement contract.
     Procurement of additional Arleigh Burke class destroyer (sec. 
         125)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 117) that 
     would allow the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a 
     contract beginning with the fiscal year 2016 program year for 
     the procurement of 1 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in 
     addition to the 10 DDG-51s in the fiscal year 2013 through 
     2017 multiyear procurement contract or for 1 DDG-51 in fiscal 
     year 2018. The Secretary may employ incremental funding for 
     such procurement.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Refueling and complex overhaul of the USS George Washington 
         (sec. 126)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that would 
     provide economic order quantity authority for the 
     construction of two Ford-class aircraft carriers and 
     incremental funding authority for the nuclear refueling and 
     complex overhaul of five Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit new 
     aircraft carrier program procurement authority to the nuclear 
     refueling and complex overhaul of USS George Washington (CVN-
     73).
       The Department of the Navy awarded a detail design and 
     construction contract for the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) on 
     June 5, 2015. At the time of award, Program Executive Officer 
     (PEO), Aircraft Carriers, Rear Admiral Thomas Moore, 
     indicated ``. . . with a stable design, mature requirements 
     and an improved build process, we will reduce construction 
     hours by 18 percent, lower the cost to build the ship by 
     almost $1 billion in real terms compared to CVN-78 . . .''. 
     Following $2.4 billion in cost growth on the lead ship, CVN-
     78, we are encouraged by the ongoing collaboration between 
     the Department of the Navy and industry to achieve cost 
     reductions. We note that other ship construction programs 
     have been able to reduce costs through acquisition 
     efficiencies and economic order decisions. Therefore, to 
     better assess acquisition options, we direct the Secretary of 
     the Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees by March 1, 2016, that provides an assessment of 
     the merits associated with using economic order quantity 
     procurement with CVN-80 and CVN-81. This report should assess 
     the specific aircraft carrier components that would be best 
     suited to include in a potential economic order quantity 
     contract, and the estimated cost savings that could be 
     achieved using this procurement authority.
     Fleet replenishment oiler program (sec. 127)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 118) that 
     would grant the Secretary of the Navy contracting authority 
     to procure up to six fleet replenishment oilers (T-AO(X)). 
     This new ship class is a non-developmental recapitalization 
     program based on existing commercial technology and 
     standards. The ship design is considered to be low risk by 
     the Navy, with the design scheduled to be complete prior to 
     the start of construction on the lead ship. This provision 
     would enable an estimated $45.0 million in savings per ship, 
     for ships 2-6, for a total of $225.0 million in savings 
     compared to current annual procurement cost estimates.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

         (CVN-79) (sec. 128)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 112) that 
     would limit $100.0 million in Shipbuilding and Conversion, 
     Navy procurement funds for USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) 
     subject to the submission of a certification regarding full 
     ship shock trials and two reports.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide the 
     Secretary of Defense with waiver authority to delay full 
     ship shock trials on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) until 
     after the ship's first deployment but prior to the first

     would limit $191.4 million in advance procurement funds for 
     USS Enterprise (CVN-80), until the Secretary of the Navy 
     submits a certification and report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and of the House of Representatives. 
     $191.4 million is the sum of funding requested for plans 
     (detailed) and basic construction for CVN-80.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
     submission of the certification and report to all four 
     congressional defense committees, as well as require the 
     certification be provided within 90 days of enactment of this 
     Act.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Littoral Combat Ship 
         (sec. 130)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 115) that 
     would limit 75 percent of fiscal year 2016 funds for research 
     and development, design, construction, procurement or advance 
     procurement of materials for the upgraded Littoral Combat 
     Ships (LCS), designated as LCS-33 and subsequent, until the 
     Secretary of the Navy submits to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: a 
     capabilities-based assessment to assess capability gaps and 
     associated capability requirements and risks for the upgraded 
     LCS, an updated capabilities development document for the 
     upgraded LCS, and a report describing the upgraded LCS 
     modernization.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that changes the 
     limitation to 50 percent of fiscal year 2016 funds and allows 
     for a capabilities-based assessment or equivalent report.
     Reporting requirement for Ohio-class replacement submarine 
         program (sec. 131)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 119) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit Ohio-class 
     replacement submarine cost tracking information, together 
     with annual budget justification materials. While the first 
     Ohio-class replacement submarine is not planned to be 
     authorized until fiscal year 2021, the national importance of 
     this program and significant cost will continue to merit 
     close oversight by the congressional defense committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     prohibit the use of any funds during fiscal year 2016 to 
     retire, prepare to retire, or place in storage any A-10 
     aircraft. The provision would also require the Secretary of 
     the Air Force to maintain a minimum of 171 A-10 aircraft in 
     primary mission aircraft inventory (combat-coded) status. The 
     provision would also direct the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     commission an independent entity outside the Department of 
     Defense to conduct an assessment of the required capabilities 
     and mission platform to replace the A-10 aircraft.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

     the EC-130H aircraft, and to submit a report on that 
     assessment to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than September 30, 2016, and would also prohibit the 
     Secretary of the Air Force from retiring, preparing to 
     retire, placing in storage or placing on back up flying 
     status any EC-130H aircraft until 60 days after the Secretary 
     submits the specified report.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 135).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment changing the 
     prohibition limitation date to December 31, 2016, and 
     combining the report requirements from the House and Senate 
     versions.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of Joint 
         Surveillance Target Attack Radar System, EC-130H Compass 
         Call, and Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft 
         (sec. 144)

     until the follow-on replacement aircraft program enters low-
     rate initial production.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to change the provision 
     to apply only in fiscal years 2016 or 2017, and other 
     technical clarifications. The provision would not apply to 
     individual aircraft if the Secretary of the Air Force, on a 
     case-by-case basis, determines an individual aircraft to be 
     non-operational because of mishaps, other damage, or being 
     uneconomical to repair.
     Limitation on availability of funds for F-35A aircraft 
         procurement (sec. 145)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 133) that 
     would limit the availability of fiscal year 2016 funds for F-
     35A procurement to not more than $4.3 billion until the 
     Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional defense 
     committees that F-35A aircraft delivered in fiscal year 2018 
     will have full combat capability with currently planned Block 
     3F hardware, software, and weapons carriage.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to amend the 
     certification level from the Secretary of Defense to the 
     Secretary of the Air Force, and to amend the effective date 
     of certification criteria from ``full combat capability as 
     currently planned . . .'' to ``full combat capability, as 
     determined on the date of enactment of this Act . . .''
     Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of KC-10 
         aircraft (sec. 146)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 135) that would 
     prohibit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the Air 
     Force to be obligated or expended during such fiscal year to 
     divest or transfer, or prepare to divest or transfer, KC-10 
     aircraft.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to change the 
     provision to apply only in fiscal years 2016 or 2017. The 
     provision would not include the prohibition on transfer of 
     aircraft, and would not apply to an individual KC-10 aircraft 
     if the Secretary of the Air Force, on a case-by-case basis, 
     determines the aircraft to be non-operational because of 
     mishaps, other damage, or being uneconomical to repair.
     Limitation on availability of funds for transfer of C-130 
         aircraft (sec. 147)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 136) that 
     would limit the availability of all funds authorized to be 
     appropriated for the transfer from one facility of the 
     Department of Defense to another any C-130H aircraft, 
     initiate any C-130 manpower authorization adjustments, retire 
     or prepare to retire any C-130H aircraft, or close any C-130H 
     unit until 90 days after the date on which the Secretary of 
     the Air Force, in consultation with the Secretary of the 
     Army, and after certification by the commanders of the XVIII 
     Airborne Corps, 82nd Airborne Division, and United States 
     Army Special Operations Command, certified that the Air Force 
     would maintain dedicated C-130 wings to support the daily 
     training of Army airborne and special operations units, and 
     the failure to maintain such Air Force operations would not 
     adversely impact the daily training requirement of those 
     airborne and special operations units.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1060c).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     required certification to be made by the Secretaries and 
     Chiefs of Staff of the Army and the Air Force, in 
     consultation with the commanders of the XVIIIth Airborne 
     Corps, 82d Airborne Division, and Army Special Operations 
     Command. The amendment also contains other minor technical 
     clarifications.

     aircraft until 30 days after the Secretary of the Air Force 
     submits to the congressional defense committees the report 
     required under section 142 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to amend the provision 
     to state: ``Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
     this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 
     Aircraft Procurement, Air Force, for avionics modification to 
     the T-1A Jayhawk aircraft, not more than 85 percent may be 
     obligated or expended until a period of 30 days has elapsed 
     following the date on which the Secretary of the Air Force 
     submits to the congressional defense committees the report 
     required under section 142 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3320).''
     Notification of retirement of B-1, B-2, and B-52 bomber 
         aircraft (sec. 150)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 131) that 
     would limit the retirement of B-1, B-2, or B-52 bomber 
     aircraft during a fiscal year prior to initial operational 
     capability of the Long Range Strike Bomber unless the 
     Secretary of Defense certified to specified criteria in the 
     materials submitted in support of the budget of the President 
     for that fiscal year as submitted to Congress.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     limitation to a notification requiring that in the period 
     before the date of initial operational capability of the 
     long-range strike bomber aircraft, before retiring or 
     preparing to retire any B-1, B-2, or B-52 bomber aircraft the 
     Secretary of the Air Force includes in the defense budget 
     materials a notification of the proposed retirement including 
     the rationale for the retirement, the effects of the 
     retirement, and how the Secretary will mitigate any risks 
     relating to the retirement. The provision would not apply to 
     individual B-1, B-2, or B-52 aircraft if the Secretary of the 
     Air Force, on a case-by-case basis, determines the aircraft 
     to be non-operational because of mishaps, other damage, or 
     being uneconomical to repair.
     Inventory requirement for fighter aircraft of the Air Force 
         (sec. 151)
       The Senate amendment included a provision (sec. 132) that 
     would amend section 8062 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     adding a new subsection requiring the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to maintain a minimum total active inventory of 1,950 
     fighter aircraft, within which the Secretary would also be 
     required to maintain a minimum of 1,116 fighter aircraft as 
     primary mission aircraft inventory (combat-coded). The 
     provision would also provide additional limitations on 
     fighter retirements by requiring the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to certify to certain specified criteria, and also 
     require a detailed report in advance of retiring fighter 
     aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to strike the amendment 
     to section 8062 of title 10, change the limitation period to 
     a 2-year period beginning on October 1, 2015, and reduce the 
     minimum numbers of fighters required to be maintained by the 
     Air Force to 1,900 total aircraft inventory and 1,100 primary 
     mission aircraft inventory (combat-coded). The amendment 
     would also eliminate the certification and detailed report 
     requirements, and require specified information in a report 
     to be included in the material submitted in support of the 
     budget for a particular fiscal year, if proposing the 
     retirement of fighter aircraft in that fiscal year's budget. 
     The report would not apply to individual fighter aircraft if 
     the Secretary of the Air Force, on a case-by-case basis, 
     determines the aircraft to be non-operational because of 
     mishaps, other damage, or being uneconomical to repair.
       We recognize that based on the 2010 Quadrennial Defense 
     Review, the Air Force determined through extensive analysis 
     that a force structure of 1,200 primary mission aircraft and 
     2,000 total aircraft is required to execute the National 
     Defense Strategy with increased operational risk. 
     Subsequently, based on the 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance 
     and fiscal constraints, analysis showed the Air Force could 
     decrease fighter force structure capacity by approximately 
     100 additional aircraft; however, at an even higher level of 
     risk.
       We agree reductions in fighter force capacity below the 
     1,900 total and 1,100 combat-coded inventory levels, in light 
     of ongoing and anticipated operations in Iraq and Syria 
     against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, coupled 
     with a potential delay of force withdrawals from Afghanistan 
     and a revanchist Russia, poses excessive risk to the Air 
     Force's ability to execute the National Defense Strategy, 
     causes remaining fighter squadrons to deploy more frequently, 
     and drives even lower readiness rates across the combat air 
     forces.

     Limitation on availability of funds for Joint Battle Command-
         Platform (sec. 161)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that would 
     require the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, 
     Logistics, and Technology to submit a report by March 1, 
     2016, to the congressional defense committees that addresses 
     the effectiveness, suitability, and survivability shortfalls 
     of the joint battle command-platform equipment identified by 
     the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation in the 
     Director's fiscal year 2014 annual report to Congress. This 
     section would also further limit the obligation or 
     expenditure of 25 percent of the funds for the joint battle 
     command-platform until 30 days after the Assistant Secretary 
     submits such a report.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on Army and Marine Corps modernization plan for small 
         arms (sec. 162)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 151) that 
     would require the Secretaries of the Army and Navy to jointly 
     submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     House of Representatives a report on the plan of the Army and 
     Marine Corps to modernize small arms.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Study on use of different types of enhanced 5.56mm ammunition 
         by the Army and the Marine Corps (sec. 163)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on the use of two different 
     types of 5.56mm ammunition by the Army and the Marine Corps.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that requires the 
     Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with a 
     federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) such 
     as the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to conduct a study on 
     the use of two different types of enhanced 5.56mm ammunition 
     by the Army and the Marine Corps. We note that the CNA has 
     conducted similar studies on small arms and small caliber 
     ammunition and believe the CNA could meet the requirements of 
     this study.


                   legislative provisions not adopted

     Limitation on Availability of Funds for AN/TPQ-53 Radar 
         Systems
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that would 
     limit the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of the 
     funds for AN/TPQ-53 radar systems until 30 days after the 
     date on which the Assistant Secretary of the Army for 
     Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology submits to the 
     congressional defense committees a review of the current 
     delegation of acquisition authority to the Program Executive 
     Officer for Missiles and Space.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Stationing of C-130 H aircraft avionics previously modified 
         by the Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) in support of 
         daily training and contingency requirements for Airborne 
         and Special Operations Forces
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 120) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to station 
     aircraft previously modified by the C-130 Avionics 
     Modernization Program (AMP) to support United States Army 
     Airborne and United States Army Special Operations Command 
     unit daily training and contingency requirements in fiscal 
     year 2017, and not require the aircraft to deploy in the 
     normal rotation of C-130H units. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary to provide such personnel as required 
     to maintain and operate the aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We agree the Air Force must develop a plan that 
     incorporates the five C-130H aircraft previously modified 
     with the AMP upgrade, the four purchased AMP installation 
     kits, the associated simulator equipment, and sustainment and 
     training software into the restructured AMP Increments I and 
     II effort. We also direct the Air Force to provide a briefing 
     on this plan to the congressional defense committees not 
     later than 60 days after enactment of this Act. We agree the 
     American taxpayers to date have expended considerable funds 
     on the C-130 AMP and deserve to receive maximum value for 
     that expenditure.
     Sense of Congress on F-16 Active Electronically Scanned Array 
         (AESA) radar upgrade
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 140) that 
     would express the sense of Congress on F-16 Active 
     Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar upgrades that it is 
     essential to our Nation's defense that: (1) Air Force 
     aircraft modification funding be made available to purchase 
     AESA radars as the Air Force bridges the gap between 4th- and 
     5th-generation fighters; (2) The U.S. Government must invest 
     in radar upgrades to ensure 4th-generation aircraft succeed 
     at zero-fail missions; and (3) The First Air Force Joint 
     Urgent Operational Needs request should be met as soon as 
     possible.
       The House bill contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes.
       We agree on the importance that should be accorded to 
     funding AESA radar upgrades for existing aircraft.
     Stryker Lethality Upgrades
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 161) that 
     would authorize an increase in funding for Stryker vehicle 
     lethality upgrades of $97.0 million in Research, Development, 
     Test & Evaluation, Army and $314.0 million in Procurement of 
     Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army respectively.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The outcome is reflected in the tables of this report in 
     Sections 4101 and 4201 and includes additional funding in 
     line with the Senate amendment.

       The budget request included $134.7 million in PE 64501N for 
     the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and 
     Strike (UCLASS) system.
       The House bill would authorize the budget request.
       The Senate amendment would not approve the request in PE 
     64501N due to contracting delays caused by waiting on the 
     results of the Department of Defense Intelligence 
     Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Strategic Portfolio Review. 
     These delays resulted in the Navy's having excess fiscal year 
     2015 funds in the program. The Senate amendment would instead 
     provide an additional $725.0 million in Research, 
     Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-wide, including 
     $350.0 million for continued development and risk reduction 
     activities of the Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration 
     (UCAS-D) aircraft that would benefit the overall UCLASS 
     program, and $375.0 million to be used for a competitive 
     prototyping of at least two follow-on air systems that move 
     the Department toward a UCLASS program capable of long-range 
     strike in a contested environment.
       We believe that the Navy should develop a penetrating, air-
     refuelable, unmanned carrier-launched aircraft capable of 
     performing a broad range of missions in a non-permissive 
     environment. We believe that such an aircraft should be 
     designed for full integration into carrier air wing 
     operations--including strike operations--and possess the 
     range, payload, and survivability attributes as necessary to 
     complement such integration. Although the Defense Department 
     could develop land-based unmanned aircraft with attributes to 
     support the air wing, we believe that the United States would 
     derive substantial strategic and operational benefits from 
     operating such aircraft from a mobile seabase that is self-
     deployable and not subject to the caveats of a host nation.
       Therefore, we recommend an increase of $350.0 million to 
     the UCLASS program and direct the Secretary of Defense to use 
     these funds to conduct competitive air vehicle risk reduction 
     activities that would lead to fielding penetrating, air-
     refuelable, UCLASS air vehicles capable of performing a broad 
     range of missions in a non-permissive environment.
       We direct the Navy to leverage both the lessons learned 
     from the UCAS-D program and the existence of two operational 
     UCAS-D demonstrator aircraft in support of these efforts. We 
     also encourage the Secretaries of Defense and the Navy to 
     consider all appropriate flexible acquisition authorities 
     granted in law and in this Act, including those for rapid 
     prototyping. Finally, we recommend that any contractual 
     arrangements executed with this funding provide the Navy with 
     sufficient technical data rights to support a subsequent 
     competitive prototyping, follow-on development, or future 
     multiple-sourced production efforts.
       We look forward to reviewing the results of the Department 
     of Defense Intelligence Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 
     Strategic Portfolio Review and also the report directed in 
     section 217 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
     Integrated personnel and pay system for Army
       The budget request included $136.0 million in PE 65018A for 
     the Integrated Personnel and Pay System--Army (IPPS-A).
       The House bill included the full requested amount.
       The Senate amendment included $86.0 million for IPPS-A, a 
     reduction of $50.0 million.
       The agreement authorizes $121.0 million in PE 65018A for 
     the Integrated Personnel and Pay System--Army (IPPS-A). 
     Elsewhere in this Act, we include a legislative provision 
     that limits obligation of funds for the program, until 
     provision of a required report to Congress on program plans.

              SUBTITLE A--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

     Authorization of appropriations (sec. 201)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 201) that would 
     authorize the appropriations for research, development, test, 
     and evaluation activities at the levels identified in section 
     4201 of division D of this Act.
       The Senate bill contained an identical provision (sec. 
     201).
       The agreement includes this provision.


    SUBTITLE B--PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, RESTRICTIONS, AND LIMITATIONS

     Centers for Science, Technology, and Engineering Partnership 
         (sec. 211)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 211) that 
     would authorize a program to enhance the Department of 
     Defense laboratories with innovative academic and industry 
     partners in research and development activities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Expansion of eligibility for financial assistance under 
         Department of Defense Science, Mathematics, and Research 
         for Transformation program to include citizens of 
         countries participating in The Technical Cooperation 
         Program (sec. 212)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 216) that 
     would expand the Department of Defense's Science, 
     Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) program 
     to include students from the United Kingdom, Australia, New 
     Zealand, and Canada.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes the provision with an amendment to 
     cap the number of new foreign students entering the program 
     at five per year. We believe that this cap will help to 
     ensure that the majority of the students in the program are 
     U.S. citizens, while also giving the Department the 
     flexibility to include foreign students on a trial basis. We 
     also believe that this cap will allow the Department the 
     opportunity to work out procedures and processes for the 
     potential expansion to include other kinds of foreign 
     students, should the Secretary of Defense determine that is 
     in the national security interest.
     Expansion of education partnerships to support technology 
         transfer and transition (sec. 213)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 221) that would 
     allow institutions that support technology transition or 
     transfer activities, such as business schools or law schools 
     with technology management programs, to participate in 
     education partnerships with Defense laboratories, as 
     authorized in Section 2194 of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes the provision with amendments that 
     would clarify to which institutions such authorities would 
     extend, authorize a sabbatical and internship program for 
     university faculty and students to work in Defense 
     laboratories, and provide additional emphasis on technology 
     transfer and transition projects. We believe that these 
     amendments, taken together, would strengthen the purpose of 
     the provision, which is to ensure that education partnerships 
     are available for those wishing to engage in technology 
     transfer or transition, in addition to traditional research 
     projects.
     Improvement to coordination and communication of Defense 
         research activities (sec. 214)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 231) that would 
     improve the coordination and communication of defense 
     research activities and technology domain awareness. The 
     House bill directs the Secretary of Defense to promote, 
     monitor, and evaluate programs not only among Defense 
     research facilities, but also among other government 
     facilities, as well as commercial and university entities. 
     The House bill would also encourage the Department to achieve 
     full awareness of scientific and technological advancement 
     and innovation throughout the technology domain.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add 
     additional direction to the Secretary of Defense to develop 
     and distribute clear technical communications to all internal 
     and external entities. We believe it is important that the 
     Department more completely and robustly convey successes of 
     Defense research and engineering activities.
       The Senate amendment would also direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to ensure that publicly-funded Defense research 
     facilities support national technological development goals 
     and technological missions of other federal agencies, as 
     appropriate. We believe that taxpayer funds used for 
     scientific research should be used in support of the best 
     interests of the U.S. government as a whole.
     Reauthorization of Global Research Watch program (sec. 215)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 214) that 
     would reauthorize the Global Research Watch program for an 
     additional 10 years. The Senate provision would also expand 
     the responsibilities of the program to include private sector 
     entities, in addition to foreign governments.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes this provision.
     Reauthorization of Defense research and development Rapid 
         Innovation Program (sec. 216)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 211) that would 
     extend the authorization for the Department of Defense to 
     execute activities for the Rapid Innovation Program through 
     2020.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     213) that would reauthorize the Rapid Innovation Program for 
     5 years. The Senate provision would also make technical 
     changes to the program's guidelines and reporting 
     requirements.
       The agreement contains the Senate provision with a 
     technical edit from the House to extend the program through 
     2023. We believe that it would be more effective to extend 
     the program in a manner consistent with the end of the next 
     program objective memorandum.
     Science and technology activities to support business systems 
         information technology acquisition programs (sec. 217)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 215) that 
     would mandate the establishment of science and technology 
     activities that would help reduce the technical risk and life 
     cycle costs of major information technology acquisition 
     programs. The provision would require the Department to fund 
     appropriate research, development, and capability-building 
     activities to make it a ``smarter buyer'' of these programs.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes the provision with an amendment 
     directing the Department to conduct a gap analysis to 
     identify relevant activities that are not being pursued in 
     the current science and technology program.
       We recognize and appreciate that the Department does 
     currently engage in some activities that address those 
     described in this provision and the original report language 
     from the Senate Armed Services Committee. However, we note 
     with dismay the significant gaps in activities and 
     technologies continue to exist. Examples of these gaps 
     include lack of support for business process re-engineering, 
     for lowering costs of customization of commercial software, 
     for lowering maintenance costs, for open architectures, for 
     engagement with management schools and small businesses, and 
     for the conversion of legacy software to modern systems. We 
     remain concerned that such gaps in science and technology 
     activities related to business systems information technology 
     acquisition, if left unaddressed, have the potential to 
     severely hamper the Department's ability to field a modern 
     and efficient information technology enterprise that meets 
     the current and future needs of the Department.
     Department of Defense technology offset program to build and 
         maintain the technological superiority of the United 
         States (sec. 218)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 212) that 
     would establish and initiative within the Department of 
     Defense to maintain and enhance the military technological 
     superiority of the United States. The provision would 
     establish a program to accelerate the fielding of offset 
     technologies, including, but not limited to, directed energy, 
     low-cost high-speed munitions, autonomous systems, undersea 
     warfare, cyber technology, and intelligence data analytics, 
     developed by the department and to accelerate the 
     commercialization of such technologies. The provision would 
     also direct the Secretary to establish updated policies and 
     new acquisition and management practices that would speed 
     delivery of offset technologies into operational use. The 
     provision would authorize $300.0 million for fiscal year 2016 
     for initiative, of which $150.0 million would be authorized 
     specifically for directed energy.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes this provision with an amendment to 
     remove the requirement for a strategy on the development of 
     directed energy technologies.
       We are aware of the challenges facing the Department in 
     maintaining technological superiority with regards to 
     potential future adversaries. In authorizing the technology 
     offset program in this provision, we recognize the need for 
     the Department to have sufficient flexibility and resources 
     to make sound strategic decisions for technology investment 
     to respond to a more dire future security environment. We 
     note that the Department has a number of initiatives, such as 
     the Defense Innovation Initiative, and the Long-Range 
     Research and Development Plan, to help guide those 
     investments.
       In particular, the Armed Services Committees of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives have been focused on the 
     role directed energy weapons will have in our future security 
     environment, and have been proponents of maturing directed 
     energy technologies to transition them to the warfighting 
     community as quickly as possible. We are aware that the 
     Department and the military services have various roadmaps 
     for deploying these technologies, and consider this fund a 
     major forcing function to drive accelerated development and 
     transition.
       To better understand how the funds authorized in this 
     section, in combination with other funds for directed energy 
     programs, will be used to identify and transition promising 
     directed energy technologies to the warfighting community, we 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
     Armed Services Committees of the Senate

[[Page H7961]]

     and the House of Representatives no later than 180 days after 
     the enactment of this Act. This briefing should include:
       1) A description of a program management process for the 
     identification of directed energy efforts, including 
     prototyping or exercise opportunities, where additional 
     funding may support accelerated transition to urgent 
     operational needs or programs of record;
       2) A description of coordination mechanisms between 
     services and agencies undertaking directed energy activities, 
     including coordination of science and technology prototyping, 
     and programs of record;
       3) An identification of challenges from the warfighting 
     community currently impeding the adoption of or confidence in 
     directed energy weapons systems.
       4) An identification of policy, regulatory, or legislative 
     impediments or challenges that currently constrain 
     accelerated transition to the warfighting community; and
       5) Recommendations for how to improve the department's 
     ability to transition promising directed energy technology 
     initiatives to the warfighting community.
     Limitation on availability of funds for F-15 infrared search 
         and track capability development (sec. 219)
       The House bill contained a provision (Sec. 213) that would 
     limit the availability of funds for fiscal year 2016 for the 
     research, development, test, and evaluation of F-15 infrared 
     search and track capabilities until 30 days after the 
     Secretary of Defense submits a specified report.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for development of the 
         shallow water combat submersible (sec. 220)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 225) that would 
     require a briefing to the congressional defense committees on 
     the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Shallow Water 
     Combat Submersible (SWCS) program.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 218) that 
     would prohibit the expenditure of more than 25 percent of the 
     funds available for the SWCS program for fiscal year 2016 
     until the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology and Logistics designates a civilian official 
     within his office responsible for providing oversight and 
     assistance to SOCOM for all undersea mobility programs and, 
     in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
     Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict, provides the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the SWCS 
     program.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify to 50 
     percent the amounts available for the SWCS program and modify 
     associated reporting requirements.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Medical 
         Countermeasures Program (sec. 221)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 212) that would 
     limit the obligation and expenditure of 50 percent of the 
     funds made available for the Department of Defense Medical 
     Countermeasures program within the Chemical-Biological 
     Defense Program until the Secretary of Defense provides a 
     report to the congressional defense committees that validates 
     the requirements and conducts an independent cost-benefit 
     analysis to justify funding and efficiencies. This section 
     would also require the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to submit a review of the certification to the 
     congressional defense committees within 60 days after the 
     date on which the Secretary submits his report.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The agreement contains the House provision with an 
     amendment that would decrease the limitation from 50 percent 
     to 25 percent pertaining only to those funds used for 
     research development test and evaluation (RDT&E) activities 
     in the Advanced Development and Manufacturing facility per se 
     and not all the RDT&E activities associated with the Medical 
     Countermeasures Program.
       We further note that Consistent with GAO report 15-257 
     (June 2015), the Secretary shall report to the congressional 
     defense committees no later than February 28, 2016 on the 
     designation of an individual responsible for managing 
     infrastructure for the Department of Defense Chemical and 
     Biological defense programs, to include shared-use facilities 
     such as those within the Advanced Development and 
     Manufacturing program, in order to minimize duplication of 
     effort within the Department of Defense and other agencies of 
     the federal government. The Secretary of defense shall notify 
     the congressional defense committees of the appointment of 
     such individual no later than 15 days after such designation. 
     Further, we direct the Comptroller General to review the 
     roles and responsibilities of the official designated to be 
     responsible for infrastructure management, and to brief the 
     congressional defense committees no later than March 31, 
     2016.
     Limitation on availability of funds for distributed common 
         ground system of the Army (sec. 222)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 219) that 
     would limit the amount of funds available to be obligated or 
     expended by the Secretary of the Army to not more than 75 
     percent of the amounts authorized to be obligated for fiscal 
     year 2016 until a review of the program planning for the 
     distributed common ground system of the Army is submitted to 
     the congressional defense and intelligence committees.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1624).
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Limitation on availability of funds for distributed common 
         ground system of the United States Special Operations 
         Command (sec. 223)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1625) that would 
     limit the availability of funds for the Special Operations 
     Command's Distributed Common Ground System to 75 percent of 
     the funds authorized to be obligated by the program until the 
     Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command conducts a 
     review of the program planning and submits the findings of 
     such review to the congressional defense committees and the 
     congressional intelligence committees and the House Permanent 
     Select Committee on Intelligence.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     220) that would limit the availability of research, 
     development, test, and evaluation funds for the distributed 
     common ground system of the U.S. Special Operations Command 
     (SOCOM) until the Commander of SOCOM submits a report to the 
     congressional defense committees.
       The House recedes.
     Integrated personnel and pay system for Army (sec. 224)
       The agreement includes a provision (sec. 224) that would 
     limit the ability of the Secretary of the Army to obligate 
     more than 75 percent of the total authorized amount of fiscal 
     year 2016 program funds for Integrated Personnel and Pay 
     System-Army (IPPS-A) program until the Secretary of the Army 
     provides a report to the congressional defense committees on 
     the performance of legacy systems, changes in human resources 
     organization and financial system capabilities, and 
     alternatives to the current cost of IPPS-A.


                 subtitle c--reports and other matters

     Streamlining the Joint Federated Assurance Center (sec. 231)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 217) that 
     would streamline the Department of Defense's Joint Federated 
     Assurance Center by eliminating an unnecessary layer of 
     bureaucracy between the Center's steering group and its 
     working groups.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes this provision.
     Demonstration of persistent close air support capabilities 
         (sec. 232)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 233) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force, the Secretary 
     of the Army, and the Director of the Defense Advanced 
     Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to jointly conduct a 
     demonstration of the Persistent Close Air Support (PCAS) 
     capability in fiscal year 2016.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to strike the phrase 
     ``as identified by the United States Air Force Close Air 
     Support Forum'' from subparagraph (b)(1). The amendment would 
     also replace all occurrences of the word ``shall'' with 
     ``may,'' and add a paragraph directing a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees by December 1, 2016 on the 
     assessment of demonstration results and cost estimates for 
     transition of any desired technologies.
       We strongly encourage the three parties to conduct the PCAS 
     demonstration, as the benefits would likely provide a large 
     payoff in increased capability for what is estimated to be 
     minimal resource investment. In response to the challenge of 
     diverse platforms and user populations of the close air 
     support mission, the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, in 
     2009, in its Close Air Support Capabilities-Based Assessment, 
     recommended that ``Platforms should field flexible systems 
     that utilize an improved architecture which migrates the 
     processing of digital messages to a Commercial-off-the-Shelf 
     (COTS) based processor and away from the [aircraft] 
     operational flight programs.''
       We observe that with repeated Air Force proposals to retire 
     their fleet of A-10 aircraft, the integration of game-
     changing and relatively inexpensive technologies to improve 
     close air support mission operations and results on other 
     platforms could be beneficial in assuaging concerns of 
     divesting a particular aircraft, even a type with close air 
     support as its primary mission.
       We also agree that the Director of DARPA should provide 
     resources to the maximum extent practical to minimize costs 
     borne by the participating Services to accomplish the 
     demonstration activities.
     Strategies for engagement with historically black colleges 
         and universities and minority-serving institutions of 
         higher education (sec. 233)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 222) that would 
     require the Secretaries of the military departments to each 
     develop a strategy for engagement with and support of the 
     development of scientific, technical, engineering, and 
     mathematics capabilities with historically black colleges and 
     universities and minority-serving institutions. The provision 
     would also require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
     strategy that encompasses the strategies developed by the 
     military departments.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

[[Page H7962]]

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that ensures that such 
     strategies are developed by all organizations within the 
     Department of Defense that are engaged in basic research, 
     thereby broadening the provision to cover all appropriate 
     Defense entities.
       We note that in implementing the requirements of this 
     provision, the Secretary of Defense may seek information from 
     the directorates of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority 
     Participation program (LSAMP) and Historically Black Colleges 
     and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) of the 
     National Science Foundation; the American Association for the 
     Advancement of Science; the Emerging Researchers National 
     Conference in Science, Technology, Engineering, and 
     Mathematics; the University of Florida Institute for African-
     American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (IAAMCS); the 
     Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities; the 
     National Indian Education Association; and such other 
     institutions, organizations, or associations as the Secretary 
     deems useful.
     Report on commercial-off-the-shelf wide-area surveillance 
         systems for Army tactical unmanned aerial systems (sec. 
         234)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 229) that would 
     express the Sense of Congress on the capabilities provided by 
     unmanned aerial systems that use wide area surveillance 
     sensors. The provision would also require the Secretary of 
     the Army to conduct a market survey and flight assessment of 
     commercial-off-the-shelf wide area surveillance sensors 
     suitable for insertion on Army tactical unmanned aerial 
     systems.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     sense of Congress, modify the reporting requirements for the 
     market survey, require an assessment of current wide area 
     surveillance systems that are currently used or could be used 
     on Army tactical unmanned aerial systems, as well as require 
     the Secretary of the Army to assess the advisability and 
     feasibility of upgrading wide area surveillance systems for 
     Army tactical unmanned aerial systems.
     Report on Tactical Combat Training System Increment II (sec. 
         235)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 230) that would 
     direct the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees, not later than January 29, 2016, on the baseline 
     and alternatives to the Navy's Tactical Air Combat Training 
     System Increment II. The provision would also limit the Navy 
     from approving or designating a contract award for the 
     specified system until 15 days after the date of the 
     submittal of the report.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment striking subparagraph 
     (c) to remove the limitation.
     Report on technology readiness levels of the technologies and 
         capabilities critical to the long range strike bomber 
         aircraft (sec. 236)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 235) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress, 
     not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act, a report 
     on the Technology Readiness Levels and capabilities critical 
     to the Long Range Strike Bomber aircraft. The provision would 
     also require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     review the Secretary's report and submit an assessment to the 
     congressional defense committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to have the Secretary 
     report to the congressional defense committees.
     Assessment of Air-Land Mobile Tactical Communications and 
         Data Network Requirements and Capabilities (sec. 237)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 231) that 
     would require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation (CAPE) to contract with an independent entity to 
     conduct a comprehensive assessment of current and future 
     requirements and capabilities to determine the technological 
     feasibility, achievability, suitability, and survivability of 
     a tactical communications and data network. The provision 
     would also prohibit the Secretary of the Army from obligating 
     more than 50 percent of funds available in Other Procurement, 
     Army for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, 
     Increment 2 program subject to the submission of the 
     independent entity's report.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     limitation of funds, and require the Director of CAPE to seek 
     to enter into a contract with a federally funded research and 
     development center to conduct a comprehensive assessment of 
     current and future requirements and capabilities of the Army 
     with respect to air-land ad hoc, mobile tactical 
     communications and data networks, including the technological 
     feasibility, suitability, and survivability of such networks.
       We believe the Director of CAPE shall select a federally 
     funded research and development center with direct, long-
     standing, and demonstrated experience and expertise in 
     program test and evaluation of concepts, requirements, and 
     technologies for joint tactical communications and data 
     networking to perform the assessment. The Institute for 
     Defense Analysis may be such an entity with expertise needed 
     for such a detailed assessment.
     Study of field failures involving counterfeit electronic 
         parts (sec. 238)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 232) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to task the Joint 
     Federated Assurance Center (JFAC) to conduct a hardware 
     assurance study to assess the presence, scope, and effect on 
     Department of Defense operations of counterfeit electronic 
     parts that have passed through the Department of Defense 
     supply chain and into fielded systems.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes the provision with an amendment to 
     assign responsibility for the study to the executive agent 
     for printed circuit board technology. We believe that the 
     executive agent is the most appropriate official to conduct 
     such a study. The amendment would also require JFAC to 
     conduct a technical assessment for indications of malicious 
     tampering on any parts assessed that demonstrate unusual or 
     suspicious failure mechanisms. We believe that such follow-up 
     is critical for ensuring maximum impact and benefit of the 
     study.
     Airborne data link plan (sec. 239)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 234) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics and the Vice Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff to jointly, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Navy, to 
     develop a plan on airborne data links between fifth-to-fifth, 
     and fifth-to-fourth generation aircraft. The provision would 
     also limit funding for the TALON HATE and Multi-Domain 
     Adaptable Processing System programs until the plan was 
     briefed to the congressional defense committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to add a date of 
     February 15, 2016 for the plan briefing, and to strike 
     subsection (c).
     Plan for advanced weapons technology war games (sec. 240)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 223) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to develop a plan for 
     integrating advanced technologies, such as directed energy 
     weapons, hypersonic strike systems, and autonomous systems 
     into broader title 10 war games to improve socialization with 
     the warfighter and the development and experimentation of 
     various concepts for employment by the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with some technical amendments.
     Independent assessment of F135 engine program (sec. 241)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract 
     with a federally funded research and development center to 
     conduct an assessment of the F135 engine program, and submit 
     a report to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than March 15, 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Comptroller General Review of autonomic logistics information 
         system for F-35 Lightning II aircraft (sec. 242)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 224) that would 
     direct the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct a review and submit a report to the congressional 
     defense committees on the autonomic logistics information 
     system for the F-35 Lightning II aircraft program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to make technical 
     corrections to correct typographical errors.
     Sense of Congress regarding facilitation of a high quality 
         technical workforce (sec. 243)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 227) that would 
     express a sense of Congress that the Department of Defense 
     should explore using existing authorities for all Federally 
     Funded Research and Development Centers to help facilitate 
     and shape a high quality scientific and technical workforce 
     that can support the Department's needs. In addition, the 
     provision would make a number of findings, including that the 
     country's scientific and technical workforce is a matter of 
     national security, that the Department's support for 
     technical education programs facilitates the training of the 
     future workforce, and that the highly skilled workforce 
     already employed is qualified to facilitate training of a 
     future workforce.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     provision to include all defense laboratories. We believe 
     that the paragraphs of the provision apply to all 
     Defense laboratories, not only the Federally Funded 
     Research and Development Centers, and that all should be 
     recognized as such.
       We find that:
       (1) The quality of the future scientific and technical 
     workforce of the United States and the access of the 
     Department of Defense to a high quality scientific and 
     technical workforce are matters of national security concern;
       (2) The support of the Department of Defense for science, 
     technology, engineering,

[[Page H7963]]

     and mathematics education programs facilitates the training 
     of a future scientific and technical workforce that will 
     contribute significantly to the research, development, test, 
     and evaluation functions of the Department of Defense and the 
     readiness of the future Armed Forces;
       (3) Defense laboratories and federally funded research and 
     development centers sponsored by the Department of Defense 
     employ a highly skilled workforce that is qualified to 
     support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics 
     education initiatives, including through meaningful volunteer 
     opportunities in primary and secondary educational settings 
     and cooperative relationships and arrangements with private 
     sector organizations and State and local governments, and to 
     facilitate the training of a future scientific and technical 
     workforce;
       (4) Robust participation in scientific and technical 
     conferences, including industry and international 
     conferences, will strengthen the national security scientific 
     and technical workforce.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision, but 
     would increase funding for the MV-22A, based upon the 
     unfunded priority list of the Commandant of the Marine Corps. 
     The Senate amendment would increase funding by a total of 
     $23.0 million including $15.0 million for integrated aircraft 
     survivability and $8.0 million for ballistic protection.

     Act, and includes funding in line with the Senate amendment.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST

     Apportionment of small business funds under continuing 
         resolutions
       We believe that under a continuing budget resolution (CR), 
     federal agencies remain responsible for assessing the Small 
     Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business 
     Technology Transition (STTR) set-asides, and executing 
     program support for small business technology innovation. To 
     support Department of Defense access to small business 
     innovation, we believe that Department comptrollers should 
     move expeditiously to calculate the SBIR/STTR assessments, 
     and make those funds available to military services and 
     agency SBIR/STTR programs commensurate with those 
     assessments, on a timeline that supports program 
     effectiveness.
     Expedited approval for attendance at conferences in support 
         of science and innovation activities of Department of 
         Defense and the National Nuclear Security Administration
       We note with concern that since the Departments of Defense 
     and Energy have implemented updated conference policies, in 
     response to requirements from the Office of Management and 
     Budget, attendance at science and technology conferences by 
     department personnel has reduced dramatically. According to a 
     report from the Government Accountability Office in March 
     2015, conference attendance from the Army Research Laboratory 
     declined from about 1300 attendees in 2011 to about 100 
     attendees in 2013. A similar drop in attendance was reported 
     from Sandia National Laboratories. The report highlights that 
     such a drop in attendance risks a decline in the quality of 
     scientific research, difficulty in recruiting and retaining 
     qualified scientists and engineers, and a diminished 
     leadership role for the two departments within the global 
     science and technology community. The report also notes that 
     the new departmental policies are not meeting the needs of 
     personnel requesting approval to travel to conferences.
       Given the importance of conference attendance for an active 
     exchange of scientific information and for recruiting and 
     retaining high-quality technical talent, and therefore 
     maintaining technological superiority, we are concerned that 
     the conference attendance approval policies are undermining 
     and eroding the science and technology missions of both 
     departments as well as the ability of personnel to engage in 
     cutting-edge research, development, testing, and evaluation. 
     We believe that technical conference participation is 
     especially important to keep program managers aware of new 
     trends in technology, so that they may make better informed 
     decisions on behalf of taxpayers.
       To maintain global technology awareness and to support 
     retention of technical staff, we believe that the Departments 
     should strive to follow the best practices of the innovative 
     private and academic institutions in developing management 
     and oversight practices for conference participation. We are 
     concerned that in specific technical fields of interest to 
     defense, such as hypersonics and cybersecurity, the lack of 
     participation in conferences is ceding U.S. leadership to 
     competitor nations.
       In response to these findings and concerns, we direct the 
     Secretaries of Defense and Energy to revise current policies 
     within the Department of Defense and National Nuclear 
     Security Administration, respectively, whereby requests for 
     scientific conference attendance are adjudicated within one 
     month, and approvals are granted as appropriate within one 
     month. Further, we direct the Secretaries of Defense and 
     Energy to ensure that any decisions to disapprove conference 
     attendance through these revised policies are made if and 
     only if the appropriate officials determine that the 
     disapproval would have a net positive impact on research and 
     development and on program management quality, and not simply 
     default disapprovals necessitated by a bureaucratic inability 
     to make a timely decision. In addition, we direct that these 
     new policies be implemented no later than 90 days after the 
     enactment of this act.
       We recommend that, through these revised policies, 
     laboratory and test center directors be given the authority 
     to approve conference attendance, provided that the 
     attendance would meet the mission of the laboratory or test 
     center and that sufficient laboratory or test center funds 
     are available.
       We direct the Secretaries of Defense and Energy each to 
     report to the Senate Armed Services Committee and the House 
     Armed Services Committee on the revised policies from their 
     respective agencies, as well as an assessment of their 
     benefits and drawbacks, along with measures for tracking the 
     effectiveness of the new policies. We further direct that 
     this report be submitted no later than one year after the 
     enactment of this act.
     Protection of advanced technologies
       We have concerns that the Department of Defense, while 
     taking necessary steps to pursue and create innovative 
     technologies and to access global sources of innovation, also 
     needs to better protect such technologies against 
     unauthorized disclosure to or theft by potential adversaries. 
     We are concerned that some adversaries have clear strategies 
     (1) to overcome our general technology protection efforts and 
     specific program protection measures, and (2) to mitigate our 
     efforts to increase our technological superiority. For this 
     reason, we believe that the Department would benefit from 
     better technology and program protection planning and more 
     effective cybersecurity measures.
       Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
     review of methodologies that potential adversaries are 
     exploiting to gain unauthorized access to technologies and 
     intellectual property, and to circumvent current export 
     control and other technology protection regimes. 
     Additionally, the Department should review structures of 
     business relationships, such as partnerships, mergers and 
     acquisitions, joint ventures, and consortia, to assess the 
     potential that these types of relationships present 
     additional opportunities for exploitation by adversaries. 
     Further, we direct the Secretary to brief the results of the 
     review to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     House of Representatives by March 15, 2016, including any 
     recommendations that may necessitate legislative action.

     League and other professional sports leagues, that has 
     accepted taxpayer funds to honor members of the Armed Forces 
     to consider directing an equivalent amount of funding in the 
     form of a donation to a charitable organization that supports 
     members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their families. We 
     also urge the Department of Defense to redirect any funds 
     that would have been used for the aforementioned purposes to 
     the post-traumatic stress disorder research and treatment for 
     members of the Armed Forces.
     Military animals: transfer and adoption (sec. 342)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 594) that would 
     amend Section 2583 of title 10, United States Code, in regard 
     to military working dogs.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     352).
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Temporary authority to extend contracts and leases under the 
         ARMS Initiative (sec. 343)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 335) that would 
     allow contracts or subcontracts entered into pursuant to 
     section 4554(a)(3)(A) of title 10, United States Code, on or 
     before the date that is 5 years after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act to include an option to extend the term 
     of the contract or subcontract for an additional 25 years.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     343).
       The agreement includes this provision.
     Improvements to Department of Defense excess property 
         disposal (sec. 344)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 333) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a plan for the improved 
     management and oversight of the systems, processes, and 
     controls involved in the disposition of excess non-mission 
     essential equipment and materiel by the Defense Logistics 
     Agency Disposition Services.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Limitation on use of funds for Department of Defense 
         sponsorships, advertising, or marketing associated with 
         sports-related organizations or sporting events (sec. 
         345)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 342) that 
     would prohibit the Department of Defense from using any funds 
     authorized to be appropriated for sponsorship, advertising, 
     or marketing associated with a sports-related organization or 
     sporting event until a review of current contracts and task 
     orders for such events was completed.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       We are concerned with the Department's level of oversight 
     of the sponsorship, advertising, and marketing associated 
     with sports-related organizations and events executed by each 
     of the military services, especially with the National Guard. 
     Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense and the service 
     secretaries to ensure the proper oversight mechanisms are in 
     place to provide proper oversight and approval of these 
     programs.
     Additional requirements for streamlining of Department of 
         Defense management headquarters (sec. 346)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 905) that would 
     express a series of findings and the sense of Congress on the 
     commitment of the Department of Defense to reduce its 
     headquarters budgets and personnel by 20 percent and to 
     achieve $10.0 billion in cost savings over 5 years. It would 
     also amend section 904 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), which requires 
     the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan for streamlining 
     Department of Defense management headquarters, by requiring 
     an accurate baseline accounting of defense headquarters 
     budgets and personnel, and more specific information on 
     actual and planned reductions in management headquarters. In 
     addition, this section would further modify section 904 of 
     Public Law 113-66 to require the Department to implement its 
     planned reduction in management headquarters budgets and 
     personnel for certain organizations in the National Capital 
     Region. Lastly, it would clarify that civilian employees 
     funded from working-capital funds are not subject to the 
     reduction requirement.

[[Page H7965]]

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     351) that would cut 30 percent from the budgets of 
     headquarters activities over the next 4 years and require the 
     Secretary of Defense to perform a comprehensive review of 
     these activities and consider elimination, consolidation, and 
     downsizing where appropriate.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Department to plan and budget for $10.0 billion in cost 
     savings in its headquarters, administrative and support 
     activities between fiscal year 2015 and 2019. The amendment 
     would also require at least a 25 percent reduction to 
     headquarters activities, which would count towards the $10.0 
     billion savings. Finally, the amendment would require a 
     comprehensive review of headquarters, administrative and 
     support functions with an eye towards streamlining and 
     consolidating these functions across the Department of 
     Defense.
       We believe that the Secretary must credit the reductions, 
     as having been accomplished in earlier fiscal years in 
     accordance with the December 2013 Directive, as part of the 
     baseline amount under this section for all of the Department 
     of Defense headquarters and the specific baseline amounts for 
     each such headquarters activity.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Additional authorization of appropriations for the Office of 
         Economic Adjustment
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 302) that would 
     authorize $25.0 million for transportation projects on local 
     roads that would help mitigate traffic congestion associated 
     with the military facility.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that the Defense Access Road program provides such 
     funds around military installations where warranted.
     Report on efforts to reduce high energy costs at military 
         installations
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 312) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the assistant 
     secretaries responsible for energy installations and 
     environment for the military services and the Defense 
     Logistics Agency, to conduct an assessment of the efforts to 
     achieve cost savings at military installations with high 
     energy costs.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We encourage the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, 
     Installations, and Environment to include in the Department's 
     Annual Energy Management Report an assessment of cost 
     reduction efforts by military installations with high energy 
     costs to include state and local partnership opportunities.
     Exemption of Department of Defense from alternative fuel 
         procurement
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 315) that would 
     amend section 526 of the Energy Independence and Security Act 
     of 2007 (Public Law 110-140) to exempt the Department of 
     Defense from the requirements related to contracts for 
     alternative or synthetic fuel in that section.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on plan, design, refurbishing, or construction of 
         biofuels refineries
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 316) 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 amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Comprehensive study on impact of proposed ozone rule
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 317) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to conduct a comprehensive 
     study on the impact of any final rule to the National Ambient 
     Air Quality Standards for Ozone on military readiness.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Assignment of certain new requirements based on 
         determinations of cost-efficiency
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 321) that would 
     assign certain new work requirements based on determinations 
     of cost-efficiency.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that sec. 321 is one of three provisions, along 
     with sections 717 and 907, that we considered that cited 
     Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 7041.04, 
     ``Estimating and Comparing the Full Costs of Civilian and 
     Active-Duty Military Manpower and Contract Support,'' as the 
     prescribed methodology for making cost comparisons between 
     DOD workforce sectors if the work is not inherently 
     governmental or otherwise exempt from private-sector 
     performance. We also note that the Senate Committee on Armed 
     Services included in Senate Report 114-49 language directing 
     the Secretary of Defense to submit a report setting forth the 
     results of a study comparing the fully burdened cost of 
     performance by Department of Defense (DOD) civilians and 
     contractors.
       We recognize that the costing methodology in DODI 7041.04, 
     while validated by the DOD Office of Cost Assessment and 
     Program Evaluation (CAPE), ``continues to have certain 
     limitations,'' as reported by the Government Accountability 
     Office in GAO-13-792, ``Opportunities Exist to Further 
     Improve DOD's Methodology for Estimating the Costs of Its 
     Workforces.'' In the same report, GAO raised questions 
     ``about the extent to which . . . officials throughout DOD 
     are aware of a requirement to use the methodology for 
     decisions other than in-sourcing.''
       In light of these findings, we direct the Secretary of 
     Defense, in responding to the reporting requirement in Senate 
     Report 114-49 referenced above, to address the following 
     additional items: (1) What steps has the Department taken to 
     comply with the recommendations in GAO-13-792 for improving 
     the costing methodology in DODI 7041.04; (2) What guidance 
     has the Office of the Secretary of Defense issued to military 
     components and defense agencies regarding the use of the 
     cost-comparison process to make workforce mix decisions; (3) 
     What roles do CAPE and the Office of the DOD Comptroller play 
     in the cost-comparison process, both prior to workforce 
     sourcing decisions being made and in tracking workforce 
     sourcing outcomes; (4) What is the Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense doing to ensure the skills, training, or experience 
     needed to effectively perform manpower cost comparisons are 
     available in the DOD workforce, including completion of the 
     competency gap assessments cited in GAO-13-188, ``Critical 
     Skills and Competency Assessments Should Help Guide DOD 
     Civilian Workforce Decisions''; and (5) How will the findings 
     in the report required in Senate Report 114-49 be used to 
     improve and correct current limitations of the cost-
     comparison process outlined in DODI 7041.04?
     Access to wireless high-speed Internet and network 
         connections for certain members of the Armed Forces 
         deployed overseas
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 334) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into contracts with 
     third-party vendors to provide wireless high-speed Internet 
     and network connections for certain members of the Armed 
     Forces deployed overseas.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     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. 336) that would 
     limit the conversion of a function to performance by a 
     contractor until an assessment has been made as to whether 
     the Department has carried out sufficient outreach programs 
     to assist small business concerns owned and controlled by 
     women (as such term is defined in section 8(d)(3)(D) of the 
     Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(3)(D))) and small 
     business concerns owned and controlled by socially and 
     economically disadvantaged individuals (as such term is 
     defined in section 8(d)(3)(C) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 637(d)(3)(C))) that are located in the geographic area 
     near the military base.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program on intensive instruction in certain Asian 
         languages
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 354) 
     authorizing the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the National Education Board, to carry out a pilot program to 
     assess the feasibility and advisability of providing 
     scholarships in accordance with the David L. Boren National 
     Security Education Act of 1991 (50 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) to 
     individuals for intensive language instruction in a covered 
     Asian language where deficiencies exist.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note the need for intensive Asian language training, and 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to provide the defense 
     committees with a briefing no later than April 15, 2016, on 
     the steps Department of Defense is taking to meet that need 
     within the context of the Administration's policy to 
     rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region.
     Sense of Senate on finding efficiencies within the working-
         capital fund activities of the Department of Defense
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1005) that 
     would provide a sense of the Senate for the Secretary of 
     Defense to ensure a strong organic industrial base workforce.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement does not include this provision.
       We note that the Secretary of Defense should continue to 
     optimize existing workload plans to ensure a strong organic 
     industrial base workforce.

                       SUBTITLE A--ACTIVE FORCES

     End strengths for active forces (sec. 401)

     475,000; Navy, 329,200; Marine Corps, 184,000; and Air Force, 
     320,715.

[[Page H7966]]

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     401) that would authorize active-duty end strength for the 
     Air Force of 317,000.

     Revisions in permanent active duty end strength minimum 
         levels (sec. 402)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 402) that would 
     revise the permanent Active-Duty end strength minimum levels 
     contained in Section 691(b) of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 402) that

     End strengths for reserves on active duty in support of the 
         reserves (sec. 412)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 412) that would 
     authorize the following end strengths for Reserves on Active 
     Duty in support of the reserve components as of September 30, 
     2016: the Army National Guard of the United States, 30,770; 
     the Army Reserve, 16,261; The Navy Reserve, 9,934; the Marine 
     Corps Reserve, 2,260; the Air National Guard of the United 
     States, 14,748; and the Air Force Reserve, 3,032.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 412) that 
     would authorize the end strengths for the Reserves on Active 
     Duty in support of the reserve components by the same amounts 
     as the House bill and further required the Chief of the 
     National Guard Bureau to take into account the actual number 
     of members of the Army National Guard of the United States 
     serving in each state as of September 30 each year when 
     allocating full-time duty personnel in the Army National 
     Guard of the United States.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that the Senate amendment expressed the Sense of 
     the Senate that the National Guard Bureau should account for 
     states that routinely recruit and retain members in excess of 
     state authorizations when allocating full-time operational 
     support duty personnel. We encourage the National Guard 
     Bureau to consider this when allocating full-time duty 
     support personnel.
       End strength levels for the reserves on active duty in 
     support of the reserves for fiscal year 2016 are set forth in 
     the following table:

     may not be more than 30 percent of the number of officers in 
     each grade, year group, or specialty (or combination thereof) 
     in each competitive category. The provision would impose the 
     same restriction that applies to boards to select officers 
     for early retirement, which provides that the number of

     federal key positions whose mobilization in an emergency 
     would seriously impair the capability of a federal agency or 
     office to function effectively are not retained in the Ready 
     Reserve.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 10149 of title 10, United States Code, to provide 
     that a member of the Ready Reserve who is also a member of

     discharge is based on the needs of the service.

     mandatory promotion board, but is not selected due to a 
     material error of fact, material administrative error, or the 
     board did not have before it material information for its 
     consideration.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     512).
       The Senate recedes.
     Increase in number of days of Active Duty required to be

         compensation for ex-servicemembers (sec. 513)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 592) that 
     would increase from 90 to 180 days the number of continuous 
     days of Active Duty required to be performed by reserve 
     component members for that duty to be considered satisfactory 
     federal service for purposes of unemployment compensation for

     the date of enactment of this Act, to provide the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 521) that would

     Homeland Security to prescribe policies and procedures for 
     the Armed Forces when members of the Ready Reserve are 
     ordered to active duty.

     to implement the authorities to be added or modified by 
     sections 521, 522, 523, 524 and 525 of the House bill.

     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of

     would amend section 1552(b) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to authorize the service secretaries to apply for a 
     correction to military records on behalf of an individual.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the service secretaries to initiate an application on behalf 
     of a group of members or former members who were similarly 
     harmed by the same error or injustice.

         flexibility to enhance retention of members of the Armed 
         Forces (sec. 523)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 532) that would 
     modify section 533 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417) 
     to remove the prohibition for participation by members of the

     members receiving a critical military skill retention bonus 
     under section 355 of title 37, United States Code, from 
     participating in pilot programs on career flexibility to 
     enhance retention. The provision would also remove the 
     restriction that limits the number of participants in the 
     program to 20 officers and 20 enlisted members who may be 
     selected to participate in the pilot program during a 
     calendar year.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     522).
       The Senate recedes.
     Modification of notice and wait requirements for change in 
         ground combat exclusion policy for female members of the 
         Armed Forces (sec. 524)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 533) that would 
     amend section 652(a) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     prescribe a notice requirement of not less than 30 calendar 
     days before certain changes in assignment policies for women

     Role of Secretary of Defense in development of gender-neutral 
         occupational standards (sec. 525)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 534) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to include measuring the 
     combat readiness of combat units, including special 
     operations forces, when developing gender-neutral 
     occupational standards.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     523).
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that the development of gender-neutral occupational 
     standards is vital in determining the occupational 
     assignments of all members of the Armed Forces. We believe 
     that studies being conducted by the Armed Forces are 
     important to the development of these standards and should 
     incorporate the best scientific practices available and that 
     the Armed Forces should consider these studies carefully to 
     ensure they do not result in unnecessary barriers to service 
     and that decisions on occupational assignments be based on 
     objective analysis and not negatively impact combat 
     effectiveness, including units whose primary mission is to 
     engage in direct ground combat at the tactical level.
     Establishment of process by which members of the Armed Forces 
         may carry an appropriate firearm on a military 
         installation (sec. 526)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 539) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish a process by

     States may authorize a member of

     the Armed Forces who is assigned to duty at the installation 
     to carry a concealed personal firearm on the installation.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish a process by which the 
     commander of a military installation in the United States, 
     reserve center, recruiting center, or other defense facility 
     may authorize a member of the Armed Forces who is assigned to 
     the installation or facility to carry an appropriate firearm 
     on the installation if the commander determines it necessary 
     as a personal or force-protection measure. The amendment 
     requires the Secretary of Defense to consider the views of 
     senior leadership of military installations in establishing 
     the process.
       We remain concerned about the response times to active 
     shooter attacks on U.S. military installations and 
     facilities. We believe that such response times should be 
     diminished in order to protect U.S. servicemembers and their 
     families. We believe that commanders of U.S. military 
     installations and facilities should take steps to arm 
     additional personnel in order to diminish response times to 
     active shooter attacks if they believe that arming those 
     personnel will contribute to that goal.
     Establishment of breastfeeding policy for the Department of 
         the Army (sec. 527)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 537) that would

         the Armed Forces (sec. 528)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 538) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the United States should 
     recognize and promote diversity in the Armed Forces and honor 
     those from all diverse backgrounds and religious traditions 
     serving in the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     524).
       The House recedes.

     (Article 6b, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)), to 
     authorize an interlocutory appeal to the Court of Criminal 
     Appeals by a victim based on an assertion that the victim's 
     rights at an Article 32, UCMJ, investigation were violated or

     subject to an order to submit to a deposition notwithstanding 
     the fact that the victim is available to testify at a court-
     martial.
     Department of Defense civilian employee access to Special 
         Victims' Counsel (sec. 532)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 542) that would 
     amend section 1044e(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     offer Special Victims' Counsel services to a civilian 
     employee of the Department of Defense who is a victim of a 
     sex-related offense, when authorized by the Secretary of 
     Defense or the secretary of the military department

     the Special Victims' Counsel, may have been undertaken in 
     retaliation for the victim's report of an alleged sex-related 
     offense or for the victim's involvement in related military

         availability of assistance from Special Victims' Counsel 
         (sec. 534)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 545) that would 
     amend section 1044e(f)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the victim to be provided notice of the availability 
     of Special Victims' Counsel before being interviewed by a 
     person identified or designated by the Secretary concerned 
     concerning the alleged sex-related offense, or before being 
     requested to provide a statement.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     551).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that a victim of a sex-related offense be provided notice of 
     the availability of a Special Victims' Counsel before any 
     military criminal investigator or trial counsel interviews, 
     or requests any statement from, the individual regarding the 
     alleged sex-related offense, subject to such exceptions for

     to require the Secretary of Defense to establish program 
     performance measures and standards to provide centralized, 
     standardized oversight and assessment of Special Victims' 
     Counsel program effectiveness and client satisfaction. The 
     amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     require the military departments to conduct regular 
     evaluations to ensure Special Victims' Counsel are assigned 
     to locations that maximize the opportunity for face-to-face 
     interactions between counsel and clients, and to develop 
     effective means for interaction between counsel and clients 
     when face-to-face communication is not feasible.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that does not include 
     the requirement for ``adequate'' military justice experience. 
     We note that there is no similar requirement for adequate 
     military justice experience for trial counsel or defense 
     counsel. We expect the Judge Advocates General and the Staff 
     Judge Advocate to the Commandant of the Marine Corps to 
     carefully select and train the optimal candidates to 
     effectively and zealously perform Special Victims' Counsel 
     duties.

     United States Code, to provide that federal law protecting 
     the privacy of victims who are servicemembers or adult 
     military dependents and who file restricted reports of sexual 
     assault would preempt any state laws that require mandatory 
     reporting made to a sexual assault response coordinator, a 
     sexual assault victim advocate, or healthcare personnel 
     providing assistance to a military sexual assault victim 
     under section 1525b of title 10, United States Code, except 
     when reporting is necessary to prevent or mitigate a serious 
     and imminent threat to the health or safety of an individual.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       We expect that the Department of Defense will take all 
     necessary action to ensure that Department personnel are 
     fully supported and vigorously represented in response to any 
     actions by a state licensing authority considering 
     potentially adverse licensing or similar credentialing action 
     based on actions of an officer or employee of the Department 
     who acts in an official professional capacity in reliance on 
     this authority.

       The House recedes.
       We note that the Judicial Proceedings Panel (JPP) has

     Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense 
     of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces to make full use of the 
     information already gathered by and for the JPP.

         sexual assaults in which the victim is a male member of 
         the Armed Forces (sec. 538)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 550) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to improve

     require the amendment of Rule 1103 of the Manual for Courts-
     Martial relating to the preparation of the record of trial to 
     require the trial counsel to prepare a complete record of 
     trial for any general or special court-martial and that no 
     content may be exempted from the record of trial based on the 
     outcome of the court-martial proceeding.

     Establishment of Office of Complex Investigations within the 
         National Guard Bureau
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 554) that 
     would add a new section to Chapter 1101 of title 10, United 
     States Code, that would establish an Office of Complex 
     Investigations within the National Guard Bureau (NGB), with 
     authority to assist the States in administrative 
     investigations of sexual assault involving members of the 
     National Guard, and circumstances involving members of the 
     Guard where States have limited jurisdiction or authority and 
     such other circumstances as the Chief of the NGB directs.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     medical treatment facility except as ordered by a military 
     judge or hearing officer described in section 832(b) of title 
     10, United States Code, (Article 32(b), Uniform Code of 
     Military Justice).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We understand that the release of mental health records can 
     constitute an invasion of privacy. We are also aware that 
     overly broad restrictions on release of mental health records 
     could adversely impact necessary law enforcement 
     investigations such as when the alleged victim is deceased. 
     We direct the Secretary of Defense to issue specific, uniform 
     guidance regarding release of mental health records to ensure 
     an appropriate balance between the interests of law 
     enforcement and victim privacy.
     Public availability of records of certain proceedings under

         sentencing retirement-eligible members of the Armed 
         Forces
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 557) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that military juries 
     should not face the difficult choice between imposing a fair 
     sentence or protecting the benefits of a member of the Armed 
     Forces for the sake of family members, that family members of 
     retirement-eligible members should not be adversely affected 
     by the loss of the member's military benefits as a result of 
     a court-martial conviction, and welcoming the opportunity to 
     work with the Department of Defense to develop authorities to 
     improve the military justice system and protect benefits that 
     military families have helped earn.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.

     Availability of cyber security and IT certifications for

         defense
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570a) that would 
     authorize the Department of Defense to utilize funds to 
     obtain cyber security and IT certifications for Department of 
     Defense personnel critical to network defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We recognize that industry cyber security and IT 
     certifications may be helpful to a certain category of 
     network operators and maintainers, but may not be comparable 
     to the training required for more advanced network defense 
     skills needed by critical personnel at the Department of 
     Defense. We are concerned that the full scope of needs in 
     this area as compared to the funding available are not yet 
     well understood, nor is the contribution of these industry 
     certifications to the training needed of the cyber mission 
     forces. We believe that until those requirements are better 
     understood, the current scope of funded certification 
     activities should remain stable until there is a better 
     established connection between cyber security and IT 
     certifications and the skills required for specific positions 
     with the Department of Defense. However, we note industry 
     recognized cyber security and IT certifications may be 
     beneficial for some Department of Defense personnel critical 
     to network defense. Therefore, we encourage the Secretary of 
     Defense to examine the needs of the Department and determine 
     the extent and role industry cyber security and IT 
     certifications should play in workforce management.

       The agreement does not include this provision.
       We encourage the Secretary of Defense to use existing 
     authority to work with non-profit organizations to provide 
     services to military dependent students to improve academic 
     achievement and civic responsibility.
     Study regarding feasibility of using DEERS to track

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     Regiment, United States Colored Infantry, was awarded the 
     Medal of Honor in recognition of his action on September 29, 
     1864, at the Battle of Chapin's Farm, Virginia.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress supporting the decision of the Army to 
         posthumously promote Master Sergeant (retired) Naomi 
         Horwitz to sergeant major
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 586) that would 
     express a sense of Congress supporting the decision of the 
     Army to posthumously promote Master Sergeant (retired) Naomi 
     Horwitz to sergeant major.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note the Secretary of the Army approved the posthumous 
     promotion in March 2015.
     Priority processing of applications for Transportation Worker 
         Identification Credentials for members undergoing 
         discharge or release from the Armed Forces
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 589) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to consult with the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security to afford a priority in the 
     processing of applications for a Transportation Worker 
     Identification Credential (TWIC) submitted by members of the 
     Armed Forces who are undergoing separation, discharge, or 
     release from the Armed Forces under honorable conditions. The 
     provision would also require the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security to jointly submit a report on 
     the implementation requirements of this provision not later 
     than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We consider it unacceptable that servicemembers 
     transitioning from Active Duty, and recent honorably 
     discharged veterans, continue to report significant delays in 
     processing time to be issued Transportation Workers 
     Identification Credentials (TWIC). Further, the 
     Transportation Security Administration requires Active-Duty 
     personnel as well as veterans who recently transitioned from 
     Active Duty to undergo and pay for a separate security review 
     before issuing TWIC. Because many transitioning 
     servicemembers are qualified and motivated to serve in the 
     maritime industry, we expect the Department of Defense and 
     the Department of Homeland Security to consult to eliminate 
     processing delays and waive fees for transitioning 
     servicemembers and for honorably discharged veterans.
     Issuance of Recognition of Service ID Cards to certain 
         members separating from the Armed Forces
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 590) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to issue an 
     identification card that identifies individuals as veterans, 
     personalized with name and photo of the individual. The 
     Secretary of Defense would be authorized to work with 
     retailers for reduced prices on services, consumer products, 
     and pharmaceuticals for individuals possessing a Recognition 
     of Service ID Card.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that an alternative option exists for honorably 
     discharged veterans to utilize state-issued ID cards that 
     designate veteran status. Veterans in 44 states and the 
     District of Columbia may apply for a driver's license or 
     State-issued ID card that designates veteran status. The 
     remaining states (California, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, 
     New Jersey, and Washington) are either pending legislation or 
     have legislation that has been signed into law but is not yet 
     effective. Additionally, since January 2014, honorably 
     separated members of the Uniformed Services are able to 
     obtain an ID card providing proof of military service through 
     the joint DOD-VA eBenefits web portal.
     Revised policy on network services for military services
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 591) that 
     would generally limit the use of uniformed military personnel 
     in the provision of network services for military 
     installations in the continental United States.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We are concerned that the military services, particularly 
     the Air Force, are devoting more resources and uniformed 
     military personnel for the provision of network services than 
     are necessary, considering the commercial network services 
     capabilities that may be available at lower costs. While we 
     believe the use of uniformed military personnel for network 
     services is necessary in some cases, for example aboard ships 
     or at expeditionary bases, there is less rationale for this 
     use of uniform military personnel at permanent military 
     installations within the continental United States.
       Therefore, we direct the Director of Cost Assessment and 
     Program Evaluation (CAPE) to evaluate the potential savings 
     for the Department of Defense in both resources and military 
     end strength that could be achieved by increasing the use of 
     commercial network services capabilities within the 
     continental United States. CAPE shall provide a briefing on 
     their findings, including any recommendations, to the 
     congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 2016.
     Honoring certain members of the Reserve components as 
         veterans
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 592) that would 
     amend chapter 1 of title 38, United States Code, to require 
     certain members of the reserve components be honored as 
     veterans, provided that such members would not be authorized 
     to receive any benefit administered by the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs solely by reason of honorary veteran status.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Improved enumeration of members of the Armed Forces in any 
         tabulation of total population by Secretary of Commerce
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 593) that 
     would amend section 1141 of title 13, United States Code, to 
     require that the Secretary of Commerce, beginning with the 
     2020 Decennial census of population, in taking any tabulation 
     of total population by States, to take appropriate measures 
     to ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that all 
     members of the Armed Forces deployed abroad on the date of 
     taking such tabulation are (1) fully and accurately counted; 
     and (2) properly attributed to the state in which their 
     permanent duty station or homeport is located on such date.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress regarding support for military divers
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 593) that would 
     express the sense of Congress regarding support for military 
     divers.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress on desirability of service-wide adoption of 
         Gold Star Installation Access Card
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 596) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the secretaries of the 
     military departments should provide for the issuance of a 
     Gold Star Installation Access Card to family members of 
     deceased members of the Armed Forces in order to expedite 
     access to installations for the purpose of obtaining on-base 
     services and military benefits for which a Gold Star family 
     member is eligible.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that the Department of the Army has initiated a 
     program to provide Gold Star Installation Access Cards to 
     Gold Star family members and encourage the other military 
     departments to do the same.

     Annual report on performance of regional offices of the 
         Department of Veterans Affairs
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 597) that would 
     amend section 7734 of title 38, United States Code, to 
     require the individual serving as director of a regional 
     office of the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide an 
     annual report on the performance of any regional office that 
     fails to meet its administrative goals.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

          Title VI--Compensation and Other Personnel Benefits


                     SUBTITLE A--PAY AND ALLOWANCES

     No fiscal year 2016 increase in basic pay for general and 
         flag officers (sec. 601)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 601) that 
     would authorize a pay raise of 1.3 percent for all members of 
     the uniformed services in pay grades O-6 and below effective 
     January 1, 2016, and that would freeze the monthly basic pay 
     for all general and flag officers, including for those whose 
     monthly basic pay is limited to the rate of pay for level II 
     of the Executive Schedule.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove 
     reference to the pay raise for grades O-6 and below.
       We note that the President has authority under section 
     1009(e) of title 37, United States Code, to implement the 1.3 
     percent pay raise for pay grades O-6 and below in the absence 
     of a provision specifically setting a different pay raise.
     Limitation on eligibility for supplemental subsistence 
         allowances to members serving outside the United States 
         and associated territory (sec. 602)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 606) that 
     would sunset on September 30, 2016, the supplemental 
     subsistence allowance for servicemembers serving inside the 
     United States. Servicemembers serving outside the United 
     States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States 
     Virgin Islands, or Guam would still be eligible to receive 
     the supplemental subsistence allowance from the Department of 
     Defense. The provision is based on the final report of the 
     Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization 
     Commission.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Phased-in modification of percentage of national average 
         monthly cost of housing usable in computation of basic 
         allowance for housing inside the United States (sec. 603)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 602) that 
     would amend section 403(b) of title 37, United States Code, 
     to authorize the Secretary of Defense to reduce the monthly 
     amount of the basic allowance for housing (BAH) by up to 5 
     percent of the national average for housing for a given pay 
     grade and dependency status. Servicemembers will not see this 
     modification of their BAH until they change duty stations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement contains the Senate provision with an 
     amendment that would reduce the monthly amount of the BAH 
     through a tiered system with 1 percent in 2015, 2 percent in 
     2016, 3 percent in 2017, 4 percent in 2018, and 5 percent in 
     2019 and each fiscal year thereafter. We strongly believe 
     that this change to the calculation of BAH should not be used 
     to justify the collection of out-of-pocket housing expenses, 
     in excess of BAH, from servicemembers assigned to a housing 
     unit acquired or constructed using the authority in 
     subchapter IV of chapter 169 of title 10, United States Code.
     Extension of authority to provide temporary increase in rates 
         of basic allowance for housing under certain 
         circumstances (sec. 604)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that would 
     extend for 1 year the authority of the Secretary of Defense 
     to temporarily increase the rate of basic allowance for 
     housing in areas impacted by natural disasters or 
     experiencing a sudden influx of personnel.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     603).
       The Senate recedes.
     Availability of information under the Food and Nutrition Act 
         of 2008 (sec. 605)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 607) that 
     would allow for the Secretary of Defense to obtain from the 
     Secretary of Agriculture information for the purposes of 
     determining the number of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 
     Program applicant households that contain one or more members 
     of a regular or reserve component of the Armed Forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.


           SUBTITLE B--BONUSES AND SPECIAL AND INCENTIVE PAYS

         authorities for reserve forces (sec. 611)

     Reserve, accession and retention bonuses for 
     psychologists, the accession bonus for registered nurses, 
     incentive special pay for nurse anesthetists, special pay 
     for Selected Reserve health professionals in critically

         consolidated special pay, incentive pay, and bonus 
         authorities (sec. 614)

     members, the general bonus authority for officers, special 
     bonus and incentive pay authorities for nuclear officers, 
     special aviation incentive pay and bonus authorities for 
     officers, and special bonus and incentive pay authorities for 
     officers in health professions, and contracting bonus for 
     cadets and midshipmen enrolled in the Senior Officers' 
     Training Corps. The provision would also extend for 1 year 
     the authority to pay hazardous duty pay, assignment or 
     special duty pay, skill incentive pay or proficiency bonus, 
     and retention incentives for members qualified in critical 
     military skills or assigned to high priority units.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec.

       The agreement includes this provision.
     Increase in maximum annual amount of nuclear officer bonus 
         pay (sec. 616)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 616) that would 
     increase the maximum annual amount of nuclear officer bonus 
     pay to $50,000 for retention purposes.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     616).
       The Senate recedes.
     Modification to special aviation incentive pay and bonus 
         authority for officers (sec. 617)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 617) that would 
     increase special aviation incentive pay from $25,000 to

         during humanitarian operations (sec. 621)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 623) that 
     would authorize transportation to transfer ceremonies for the 
     family and next of kin of members of the Armed Forces who die 
     overseas during humanitarian relief operations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Repeal of obsolete special travel and transportation 
         allowance for survivors of deceased members of the Armed 
         Forces from the Vietnam conflict (sec. 622)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 618) that would

       The House recedes.


     SUBTITLE D--DISABILITY PAY, RETIRED PAY, AND SURVIVOR BENEFITS

                       PART I--RETIRED PAY REFORM

     Modernized retirement system for members of the uniformed 
         services (sec. 631)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 632) that would 
     establish a new military retirement defined benefit that, 
     when combined with the government-matching Thrift Savings 
     Plan, as described elsewhere in this Act, would comprise a 
     new hybrid retirement system. This new system would apply to 
     new entrants after January 1, 2018, and to those already 
     serving members who choose to opt-in. The new defined benefit 
     would continue to apply only to those members who reach 20 
     years of service, with a multiplier rate of 2.0 times years 
     of service rather than the current rate of 2.5 times years of 
     service.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     632).
       The agreement includes the House provision with an 
     amendment that would limit service members who may opt-in to 
     the new retirement system to those with less than 12 years of 
     service. The agreement also includes an amendment that would 
     repeal the modified cost-of-living adjustment for members 
     under the age of 62 made by section 403 of the Bipartisan 
     Budget Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-67; 127 Stat. 1186), as 
     amended by section 10001(a) of the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2014 (division C of Public Law 113-76; 
     128 Stat. 151), section 2 of Public Law 113-82 (128 Stat. 
     1009), and section 623 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3403).
     Full participation for members of the uniformed services in 
         the Thrift Savings Plan (sec. 632)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 631) that would 
     provide a government-matching Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) 
     benefit for those who would enter uniformed service on or 
     after October 1, 2017, or a member serving before that date 
     who makes a voluntary election to opt-in to the new plan. The 
     TSP element would provide a 1 percent automatic agency 
     contribution to all uniformed service members upon reaching 
     60 days of service and continue until they would reach their 
     second year of service. At 2 years of service, a member's TSP 
     would vest and the Secretary concerned would begin matching 
     TSP contributions up to 5 percent of that servicemember's 
     base pay for a maximum government contribution totaling 6 
     percent of basic pay. Uniformed service members would be 
     automatically enrolled at 3 percent matching contributions 
     with the option to raise or lower their contribution level. 
     TSP government-funded matching contributions would continue 
     until a uniformed service member leaves or retires from the 
     uniformed service.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     631) that would set the applicable initial entry date at 
     January 1, 2018, provide a maximum government contribution of 
     5 percent (with the first one percent being an automatic 
     agency contribution), and stop the government match at 20 
     years of service.
       The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
     amendment to provide government matching contributions in the 
     TSP through 26 years of service. We note that all uniformed 
     service members who would enter and serve prior to the date 
     of implementation of the modernized retirement system would 
     be grandfathered into the old retirement system.
     Lump sum payments of certain retired pay (sec. 633)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 633) that 
     would allow the voluntary election of lump sum payments of 
     retired pay for those under the modernized retirement system 
     who serve 20 or more years of service. Members who elect to 
     take the lump sum may choose to take 100 percent or 50 
     percent of the discounted present value of their defined 
     retirement benefit that would be due to them prior to 
     becoming fully eligible for Social Security.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would allow 
     members who elect to take the lump sum an option of choosing 
     to take 50 percent or 25 percent of the discounted present 
     value of their defined retirement benefit that would be due 
     to them prior to becoming fully eligible for Social Security.
       We strongly urge the Secretaries concerned to coordinate 
     with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on counseling, or 
     otherwise informing, new retirees on the impact this election 
     may have on their eligibility for certain benefits 
     administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
     Continuation pay after 12 years of service for members of the 
         uniformed services participating in the modernized 
         retirement systems (sec. 634)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 633) that would 
     direct the Secretary concerned to provide continuation pay to 
     servicemembers serving under the new military retirement 
     system described above who reach 12 years of service, 
     contingent upon such members agreeing to serve another 4 
     years of service.

         system and the military exchange system (sec. 651)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 652) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report, 
     not later than March 1, 2016, to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
     setting forth a plan to privatize the Defense Commissary 
     System, in whole or in part. The provision would also require

     the Defense Commissary System to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     within 120 days following submission of the report by the 
     Secretary of Defense. Following submission of the Comptroller 
     General's assessment of the Department's commissary 
     privatization plan, the Department would be required to carry 
     out a 2-year pilot program at no fewer than five commissaries 
     in the largest markets of the commissary system to assess the 
     feasibility and advisability of the plan. Within 180 days 
     after completion of the pilot program, the Secretary of 
     Defense would submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives that 
     provides an assessment of the commissary privatization plan.
       The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 
     1025) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a

     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, assessing the viability of privatizing the 
     commissary system, in part or in whole. The Secretary would 
     submit the report prior to development of any plans or pilot 
     program to privatize commissaries or the commissary system. 
     The provision would also require the Comptroller General of 
     the United States to provide a report that assesses the plan 
     of the Department to privatize the Defense Commissary System 
     to the committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives, not later than May 1, 2016. The 
     provision would make Section 652 of the Senate amendment null 
     and void.

     examine the policies and procedures of the Secretary of 
     Defense to ensure timely notification of construction 
     projects proposed to be funded through the Commissary 
     Surcharge, Non-appropriated Fund, and Privately-financed 
     Major Construction Program of the Department of Defense and 
     to submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate

     Improvement of financial literacy and preparedness of members 
         of the Armed Forces (sec. 661)
       The House bill contained provision (sec. 651) that would 
     require financial literacy training for servicemembers upon 
     arrival at the first duty station and upon arrival at each 
     subsequent duty station for servicemembers below the pay 
     grade of E-5 in the case of enlisted personnel and below the 
     pay grade of O-4 in the case of officers. The provision would 
     further require financial literacy training for each 
     servicemember at various career and life milestones. The 
     provision would also direct the Department of Defense to 
     include a financial literacy and preparedness survey in the 
     status of forces survey. The provision would also express the 
     sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
     work with other departments, agencies, and nonprofit 
     organizations to improve financial literacy and preparedness 
     with support from the service secretaries. This provision was 
     recommended by the Military Compensation and Retirement 
     Modernization Commission.
       The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
     581, 582, and 583).
       The agreement includes the House provision with a technical 
     amendment.
     Recordation of obligations for installment payments of 
         incentive pays, allowances, and similar benefits when 
         payment is due (sec. 662)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 587) that 
     would provide express authority for the long-established 
     practice of the Department of Defense of obligating bonus and 
     special and incentive pay installment payments at the time 
     payment is due and payable. This provision is in response to 
     a recent U.S. Government Accountability Office opinion, Comp. 
     Gen. B-325526--Obligation of Bonuses under Military Service 
     Agreements, July 16, 2014, which concluded that the 
     Department of Defense cedes fiscal exposure to servicemembers 
     when it enters into such agreements and should change its 
     obligational practices to obligate the entire bonus amount 
     when the agreement is signed.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Prohibition on per diem allowance reductions based on the 
         duration of temporary duty assignment or civilian travel
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 602) that would 
     prohibit per diem allowance reductions based on the duration 
     of temporary duty assignment or civilian travel.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Basic allowance for housing for members of the Uniformed 
         Services who live together
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 604) that 
     would amend section 403 of title 37, United States Code, to 
     limit the basic allowance for housing (BAH) for dual military 
     married couples who are assigned within normal commuting 
     distance from each other to one allowance at the with 
     dependent rate, for the member with the higher pay grade. The 
     provision would also limit BAH for uniformed service members 
     above E-3 residing with other uniformed service members to 75 
     percent of their otherwise prevailing rate, or the E-4 
     without dependents rate, whichever is greater. Affected 
     members would see no reduction in their BAH as a result of 
     this provision so long as they maintain uninterrupted 
     eligibility to receive BAH within a particular housing area.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We intend to reform this policy next year. We direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a report no later than March 
     1, 2016, to the Senate and House Committees on Armed Services 
     containing an assessment and recommendations of the Secretary 
     on how to amend the current BAH system to most accurately 
     capture actual housing costs as a limiting element of the 
     basic allowance for housing, to include an assessment of BAH 
     as applied in particular circumstances where the current 
     benefit may over- or under-compensate individuals based on 
     their actual housing costs, to include single members of the 
     armed forces and those who share accommodations with other 
     members receiving the benefit. In developing these 
     recommendations, the Secretary shall consider the primary 
     purpose of the benefit to offset housing costs of uniformed 
     members incurred by virtue of their service.
     Repeal of inapplicability of modification of basic allowance 
         for housing to benefits under the laws administered by 
         the Secretary of Veterans Affairs
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 605) that 
     would repeal subsection (b) of section 604 of the Carl Levin 
     and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) effective 
     January 1, 2016.
       The House bill contained no similar amendment.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that the Senate and House Veterans Affairs 
     Committees intend to take up this matter. If it is not 
     addressed by May 2016, it will be re-considered for the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

         kin to participate in the dignified transfer of remains 
         of members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees of 
         the Department of Defense who die overseas
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 624) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to review the current 
     policies of the Department of Defense regarding travel 
     authorization for family and next of kin of service members 
     and civilian employees of the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that the Department of Defense has notified the 
     congressional defense committees it is already conducting the 
     review described in this provision. Further, the agreement 
     includes a separate provision to make the necessary changes 
     in law for the authorization for travel to the dignified 
     transfer ceremony for family and next of kin of members of 
     the Armed Forces who die overseas in support of humanitarian 
     operations. We expect the Secretary, upon conclusion of the 
     aforementioned review, to make regulatory changes in order to 
     address inequities within the system, as the Secretary 
     determines are appropriate.
     Authority for retirement flexibility for members of the 
         uniformed services
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 635) that 
     would give the Secretary concerned the flexibility to modify 
     the years of service required for non-disability retirement 
     under the new military retirement system for particular 
     occupational specialties or other groupings in order to 
     facilitate force shaping or to correct manpower shortages

     that applies to shipment of fresh fruits and vegetables to 
     Asia and the Pacific theater until the Defense Commissary 
     Agency conducts a comprehensive study on the fresh fruit and 
     vegetable supply for the region and submits a report on the 
     study to Congress.

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 642) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from taking action to 
     replace or consolidate the defense commissary and exchange 
     systems before submission of the report on the defense 
     commissary system required by section 634 of the Carl Levin 
     and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).

     Transitional compensation and other benefits for dependents 
         of members of the Armed Forces ineligible to receive 
         retired pay as a result of court-martial sentence
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 642) that 
     would add a new section 1059a to title 10, United States 
     Code, to authorize the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary 
     of Homeland Security to carry out a program that would 
     authorize monthly transitional compensation, including 
     commissary and exchange store access, to dependents or former 
     dependents of a member of the Armed Forces who is ineligible 
     to receive retired pay as a result of a court-martial 
     sentence. The provision would allow the secretary concerned 
     to determine that a dependent or former dependent would not 
     be eligible for transitional compensation if that person was 
     an active participant in the conduct constituting the offense 
     under chapter 47 of title 10.

     Commissary system matters
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 651) that 
     would authorize the Department of Defense to treat second 
     destination transportation costs for commissary goods and 
     supplies overseas like transportation costs within the United 
     States by transferring those costs to the commissary patron 
     in the price of goods. In addition, the provision would 
     authorize the Department to transfer the cost of obtaining 
     supplies required for the daily operations of commissaries 
     and store-level offices dedicated to supporting commissary 
     operations from the defense working capital fund to the 
     surcharge fund. The provision would also authorize the 
     Defense Commissary Agency to establish the sales price of 
     merchandise sold in commissary stores in amounts sufficient 
     to finance the purchase of operating supplies and 
     replenishment of merchandise inventories.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Availability for purchase of Department of Veterans Affairs 
         memorial headstones and markers for members of reserve 
         components who performed certain training
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 652) that would 
     amend section 2306 of title 38, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to make available 
     for purchase a memorial headstone or marker for the marked or 
     unmarked grave of an individual who, as a member of the 
     National Guard or reserve component, performed inactive duty 
     training or Active Duty for training for at least 6 years. 
     The individual must not have served on Active Duty and must 
     otherwise be eligible on account of the nature of the 
     individual's separation from the Armed Forces or other 
     causes.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We understand that members of the reserve component who 
     wish to purchase a memorial headstone or marker can purchase 
     a nearly identical headstone or marker from private vendors.

           subtitle a--tricare and other health care benefits

     Access to TRICARE Prime for certain beneficiaries (sec. 701)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that would 
     amend section 732(c)(3) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to authorize an 
     eligible TRICARE beneficiary to make a one-time election for 
     TRICARE Prime if the beneficiary: 1) resides in a location in 
     which TRICARE Prime is no longer available because of the 
     location in which the beneficiary resides; and 2) the 
     beneficiary resided within 100 miles of a military medical 
     treatment facility as of December 25, 2013. This provision 
     would not apply to an affected eligible beneficiary who 
     resides, as of December 25, 2013, greater than 100 miles from 
     a military medical treatment facility and is an eligible 
     beneficiary by reason of service in the Army, Navy, Air 
     Force, or Marine Corps.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Modifications of cost-sharing for the TRICARE pharmacy 
         benefits program (sec. 702)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 702) that 
     would require modifications of prescription drug co-pays for 
     the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program for years 2016 through 
     2025. After 2025, the Department of Defense (DOD) would 
     establish co-pay amounts equal to the co-pay amounts for the 
     previous year adjusted by an amount, if any, to reflect 
     increases in costs of pharmaceutical agents and prescription 
     dispensing fees. With this provision, beneficiaries would 
     continue to receive prescription drugs at no cost in military 
     medical treatment facilities, and there would be no changes 
     to co-pays for survivors of members who died on Active Duty 
     or for a disabled member retired under chapter 61 of title 
     10, United States Code, and their family members.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify 
     prescription drug co-pays beginning in 2016.
       We agree that comprehensive reform of the military health 
     care system is essential and commit to working with the 
     Department of Defense in fiscal year 2017 to begin reforming 
     the military healthcare system. This reform must improve 
     access, quality and the experience of care for all 
     beneficiaries; maintain medical readiness of the military 
     health professionals; and ensure the long-term viability and 
     cost effectiveness of the military health care system. The 
     current system has not kept pace with the best practices and 
     latest innovations in the commercial healthcare market and 
     will not meet the future needs of the DOD, the 
     servicemembers, families, or retirees. In order to modernize 
     and improve the military healthcare system, we agree that all 
     elements of the current system must be re-evaluated, and that 
     increases to fees and co-pays will be a necessary part of 
     such a comprehensive reform effort.
     Expansion of continued health benefits coverage to include 
         discharged and released members of the Selected Reserve 
         (sec. 703)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 703) that 
     would amend section 1078a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize a member of the Selected Reserve, who is discharged 
     or released under other than adverse conditions from service 
     in the Selected Reserve, to be eligible to enroll, for a 
     period of 18 months, in the Department of Defense program of 
     continued health benefits coverage.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     member of the Selected Reserve to be enrolled in TRICARE 
     Reserve Select immediately preceding the discharge of the 
     member.
     Access to health care under the TRICARE program for 
         beneficiaries of TRICARE Prime (sec. 704)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 711) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that covered 
     TRICARE beneficiaries obtain health care appointments within 
     access standards and wait-time goals established by the 
     Department of Defense for primary care and specialty care or, 
     if the beneficiary is unable to obtain an appointment within 
     the wait-time goals, to offer the beneficiary an appointment 
     with a contracted health care provider. The provision would 
     also require the Secretary to publish health care access 
     standards in the Federal Register and on a publicly 
     accessible Internet web site of the Department of Defense and 
     to publish appointment wait-times for primary and specialty 
     care on the publicly accessible Internet web site of each 
     military medical treatment facility.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to ensure that TRICARE Prime 
     beneficiaries obtain health care appointments within health 
     care access standards established by the Secretary, including 
     through health care providers in the TRICARE preferred 
     provider network. The amendment would also require the 
     Secretary to publish health care access standards in the 
     Federal Register and on a publicly accessible Internet web 
     site of the Department of Defense.
     Expansion of reimbursement for smoking cessation services for 
         certain TRICARE beneficiaries (sec. 705)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) that 
     would amend section 713(f) of the Duncan Hunter National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 
     110-417) to expand reimbursement for smoking cessation 
     services for certain TRICARE beneficiaries.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

     Waiver of recoupment of erroneous payments caused by 
         administrative error under the TRICARE program (sec. 711)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 715) that 
     would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive recoupment of 
     payment from a covered TRICARE beneficiary who has benefited 
     from an erroneous TRICARE payment in which all of the 
     following apply: (1) the payment was made due to an 
     administrative error by an employee of the Department of 
     Defense or a TRICARE program contractor; (2) the covered 
     beneficiary, or in the case of a minor, the parent or 
     guardian of the covered beneficiary, reasonably believed the 
     covered beneficiary was entitled to the benefit of such 
     payment; (3) the covered beneficiary relied on the 
     expectation of benefit entitlement; and (4) the Secretary 
     determines that a waiver of recoupment of such payment is 
     necessary to prevent an injustice. In the case of 
     administrative error on the part of a TRICARE contractor, the 
     provision would require the Secretary to impose financial 
     responsibility on the contractor for the erroneous payment.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Publication of data on patient safety, quality of care, 
         satisfaction, and health outcome measures under the 
         TRICARE program (sec. 712)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 732) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to publish public data 
     on measures used to assess patient safety, quality of care, 
     patient satisfaction, and health outcomes on the primary 
     Internet web site of the Department of Defense and on the 
     primary Internet web site of that facility that provided the 
     health care.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1073b of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
     Secretary of Defense to publish appropriate data on measures 
     used to assess patient safety, quality of care, patient 
     satisfaction, and health outcomes of each military medical 
     treatment facility on a publicly available Internet web site 
     of the Department of Defense. The provision would also 
     require data for health care provided by a military medical 
     treatment facility to be accessible on the

     primary Internet web site of that facility. The provision 
     would prohibit the Department publishing any data related to 
     risk management activities of the Department.
     Expansion of evaluation of effectiveness of the TRICARE 
         program to include information on patient safety, quality 
         of care, and access to care at military medical treatment

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 733) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, not later than March 1, 2016, and each year 
     thereafter, a comprehensive report on patient safety, quality 
     of care, and access to care at military medical treatment 
     facilities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 717(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106) to require the 
     Department of Defense to include data on patient safety, 
     quality of care, and access to care at each military medical 
     treatment facility in the annual report to Congress on 
     TRICARE program effectiveness.
     Portability of health plans under the TRICARE program (sec. 
         714)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 712) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
     beneficiaries who are covered under a TRICARE health plan can 
     seamlessly access health care under that health plan in each 
     TRICARE program region.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Joint uniform formulary for transition of care (sec. 715)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs to establish a joint uniform formulary that 
     would include pain, sleep disorder, psychiatric drugs, and 
     drugs for other conditions critical for transition of a 
     servicemember from treatment furnished by the Department of 
     Defense to treatment furnished by the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Licensure of mental health professionals in TRICARE program 
         (sec. 716)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 712) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that a qualified 
     mental health professional is eligible for reimbursement 
     under the TRICARE program as a certified mental health 
     counselor by meeting certain qualification criteria. The 
     provision would also establish a special rule for certain 
     practicing mental health professionals to deem them to be 
     qualified mental health professionals during the period 
     preceding January 1, 2027, even though those professionals do 
     not meet the established qualification criteria in the 
     provision. The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 
     725) that would express a sense of Congress that the 
     Department of Defense should continue to support members of 
     the Armed Forces and their families by providing family 
     counseling and individual counseling services that reduce the 
     symptoms of post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health 
     disorders and empowers members to be emotionally available to 
     their spouses and children.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would deem 
     certain mental health professionals eligible for 
     reimbursement under the TRICARE program during the period 
     preceding January 1, 2021.
       We note that the Department of Defense published a final 
     rule to implement the TRICARE Certified Mental Health 
     Counselor provider as a qualified mental health provider 
     authorized to independently diagnose and treat TRICARE 
     beneficiaries and receive reimbursement for services. 
     Counselors must possess a master's or higher-level degree 
     from a Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related 
     Educational Programs accredited mental health counseling 
     program of education and pass the National Clinical Mental 
     Health Counseling Examination. We consider these reasonable 
     criteria to help ensure TRICARE beneficiaries obtain mental 
     health care from qualified counselors and do not believe 
     another extension of the transition for qualification as a 
     TRICARE Certified Mental Health Counselor beyond the 
     extension in this provision would be advisable.
       Additionally, we agree that the Department of Defense 
     should continue to support members of the Armed Forces and 
     their families by providing readily available family and 
     individual counseling services that reduce the symptoms of 
     post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health disorders 
     and empower members to be available emotionally to their 
     spouses and children. We believe the Department should 
     consider industry standards established by the medical 
     community when developing standards for family and individual 
     counseling services at military installations.
     Designation of certain non-Department mental health care 
         providers with knowledge relating to treatment of members 
         of the Armed Forces (sec. 717)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 716) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 1 year 
     after enactment of this Act, to develop a system by which any 
     non-Department mental health care provider that meets 
     eligibility criteria relating to knowledge and understanding 
     of military culture and knowledge of evidence-based mental 
     health treatments approved by the Secretary, would receive a 
     mental health provider readiness designation from the 
     Department. The provision would also require the Secretary to 
     establish and update a provider list and maintain a publicly 
     available registry of mental health providers receiving such 
     designation.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Comprehensive standards and access to contraception 
         counseling for members of the Armed Forces (sec. 718)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 714) that 
     would require the Department of Defense to provide, through 
     clinical practice guidelines, current and evidence-
     based standards of care regarding contraception methods 
     and counseling to all health care providers employed by 
     the Department and to ensure service women have access to 
     comprehensive contraception counseling prior to deployment 
     and throughout their military careers. The provision would 
     also require the Secretary of Defense to establish a 
     uniform, standard curriculum to be used in family planning 
     education programs for all members of the Armed Forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.


                 SUBTITLE C--REPORTS AND OTHER MATTERS

     Provision of transportation of dependent patients relating to 
         obstetrical anesthesia services (sec. 721)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 726) that would 
     amend section 1040(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     strike the expiration date regarding the authority to 
     transport dependent patients relating to obstetrical 
     anesthesia services.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension of authority for DOD-VA Health Care Sharing 
         Incentive Fund (sec. 722)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 721) that would 
     amend section 8111 of title 38, United States Code, to extend 
     the authority for the DOD-VA Health Care Sharing Incentive 
     Fund through September 30, 2020.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     719).
       The agreement includes this provision.
     Extension of authority for Joint Department of Defense-
         Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility 
         Demonstration Fund (sec. 723)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 722) that would 
     amend section 1704(e) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as amended by 
     section 722 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
     (Public Law 113-291), to extend the authority for the Joint 
     Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical 
     Facility Demonstration Fund from September 30, 2016, to 
     September 30, 2017.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     718).
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Office of the 
         Secretary of Defense (sec. 724)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 713) that would 
     amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     inserting a new section after section 1073b, to prohibit the 
     Secretary of Defense from realigning or restructuring a 
     military medical treatment facility (MTF) until 90 days 
     following the date the Secretary submits a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on the proposed 
     restructuring or realignment of the MTF.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit to 75 
     percent the obligation or expenditure of funds available for 
     fiscal year 2016 for the office of the Secretary of Defense 
     until the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to 
     the congressional defense committees the report required by 
     section 713(a)(2) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-291). Without that report and the 
     subsequent required assessment of the report by the 
     Comptroller General of the United States, we remain concerned 
     that the Department has not fully considered all relevant 
     factors that may impact the availability and delivery of 
     health care services to eligible beneficiaries in its study 
     of military health system modernization. We expect the 
     Department to make available, upon request, all available 
     data regarding any decisions to eliminate health care 
     services and to relocate health care personnel from military 
     medical treatment facilities in the future.
     Pilot program on urgent care under TRICARE program (sec. 725)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 701) that 
     would authorize a covered

[[Page H7981]]

     beneficiary under the TRICARE program to access up to four 
     urgent care visits per year without the need to obtain pre-
     authorization for such visits.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to carry out a 3-year pilot program to 
     allow covered beneficiaries under the TRICARE program to 
     access urgent care visits without the need to obtain pre-
     authorization for those visits. The amendment would require 
     the Secretary to submit two interim reports and one final 
     report on the pilot program to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
       We note that current TRICARE policy requires TRICARE Prime 
     beneficiaries to obtain pre-authorization for urgent care 
     visits. This administrative burden encourages beneficiaries 
     to utilize emergency departments inappropriately for urgent 
     care needs. We believe this pilot program would help 
     beneficiaries choose the most appropriate source for the 
     health care they need and potentially lower health care costs 
     for the Department of Defense.
     Pilot program on incentive programs to improve health care 
         provided under the TRICARE program (sec. 726)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 720) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
     program to assess value-based incentive programs to encourage 
     institutional and individual health care providers under the 
     TRICARE program to improve quality of care, experience of 
     care, and health of beneficiaries.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit interim reports on the pilot 
     program at 1-year intervals following implementation of the 
     program and a final report on the program by September 30, 
     2019.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Department of Defense 
         Healthcare Management Systems Modernization (sec. 727)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 723) that would 
     limit obligation or expenditure of funds for fiscal year 2016 
     for the Department of Defense Healthcare Management Systems 
     Modernization until the date on which the Secretary of 
     Defense makes the certification required by section 713(g)(2) 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2014 (Public Law 113-66).
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 738) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs to submit a report to Congress on 
     interoperability between electronic health records of their 
     Departments.
       The Senate recedes.
     Submittal of information to Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
         relating to exposure to airborne hazards and open burn 
         pits (sec. 728)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 739) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     Secretary of Veterans Affairs, not later than 180 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act and periodically 
     thereafter, information available to the Secretary of Defense 
     to supplement and support information in the Airborne Hazards 
     and Open Burn Pit Registry established by the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to include information on any research 
     and surveillance activities conducted by the Department of 
     Defense to evaluate incidence and prevalence of respiratory 
     illnesses to servicemembers exposed to open burn pits during 
     deployments.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Plan for development of procedures to measure data on mental 
         health care provided by the Department of Defense (sec. 
         729)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 713) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that all 
     primary care and mental health care providers of the 
     Department of Defense receive, or have already received, 
     initial evidence-based training on the recognition, 
     assessment, and management of individuals at risk for suicide 
     and any additional training that may be required based on 
     evidence-based changes in mental health practice. Within 1 
     year of the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
     would be required to provide a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     that assesses the mental health workforce of the Department 
     and the long-term mental health care needs of servicemembers 
     and their dependents. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary to develop procedures to measure mental health data 
     relating to outcomes, variations in outcomes among military 
     medical treatment facilities, and barriers to implementation 
     of clinical practice guidelines and other evidence-based 
     treatments by mental health providers of the Department of 
     Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
     plan for the Department of Defense to develop procedures to 
     compile and assess data relating to: (1) outcomes for mental 
     health care provided by the Department; (2) variations in 
     such outcomes among different medical facilities of the 
     Department; and (3) barriers, if any, to the implementation 
     by mental health care providers of the clinical practice 
     guidelines and other evidence-based treatments and approaches 
     recommended for such providers.
       We are aware that the Department has policies and 
     procedures in place that require primary care providers to 
     receive annual training on suicide prevention, and that the 
     Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs 
     submitted a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives in April 2015, on a 
     coordinated, unified plan to ensure adequate mental health 
     counseling resources to address the long-term needs of all 
     members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their families.
     Report on plans to improve experience with and eliminate 
         performance variability of health care provided by the 
         Department of Defense (sec. 730)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 734) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, a comprehensive report describing the 
     current and future plans, with estimated completion dates, of 
     the Department of Defense to improve the experience of care 
     of beneficiaries and to eliminate performance variability for 
     health care provided in military medical treatment facilities 
     and in the TRICARE purchased care network. This provision 
     would also require the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to submit, not later than 180 days after the Secretary 
     submits the comprehensive report, a report to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives that assesses the report of the Secretary of 
     Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Comptroller General study on gambling and problem gambling 
         behavior among members of the Armed Forces (sec. 731)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 740) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct a study on gaming facilities at military 
     installations and problem gambling among members of the Armed 
     Forces, and to submit a report, within 1 year of the date of 
     enactment of this Act, to the congressional defense 
     committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Access to broad range of methods of contraception approved by 
         the Food and Drug Administration for members of the Armed 
         Forces and military dependents at military treatment 
         facilities
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that every 
     military medical treatment facility has a sufficient stock of 
     a broad range of contraceptive methods approved by the Food 
     and Drug Administration to be able to dispense any 
     contraceptive method to service women and other female 
     beneficiaries eligible for healthcare in those facilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that military medical treatment facilities stock 
     and dispense a broad range of contraceptive methods approved 
     by the Food and Drug Administration to service women and 
     other eligible female beneficiaries. We encourage the 
     Department of Defense to ensure that deployed service women 
     have access to prescription contraceptives throughout the 
     duration of their deployments.
     Access to contraceptive method for duration of deployment
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that service women 
     who use prescription contraceptives receive, prior to 
     deployment, a sufficient supply of those contraceptives for 
     the duration of their deployments.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We expect the Secretary of Defense to ensure that service 
     women who use contraceptives have contraceptives available 
     throughout their deployment. This can be accomplished by use 
     of the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program or other means.
     Access to infertility treatment for members of the Armed 
         Forces and dependents
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
     the service secretaries, to provide reproductive 
     counseling and infertility treatments, including 
     continuation of infertility services during a change of 
     duty station relocation, to members and dependents of 
     members of the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that section 729 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015

[[Page H7982]]

     (Public Law 113-291) requires the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
     assessing the access of members of the Armed Forces and their 
     dependents to reproductive counseling and infertility 
     treatments. The Department of Defense has not yet provided 
     this report to the committees. We believe that a thorough 
     study of this report must be done prior to enacting 
     legislation on this issue.
     Pilot program on treatment of members of the Armed Forces for 
         post-traumatic stress disorder related to military sexual 
         trauma
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 705) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
     program to award grants to community partners to provide 
     intensive outpatient programs to treat members of the Armed 
     Forces suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder 
     resulting from military sexual trauma, including treatment 
     for substance abuse, depression, and other issues related to 
     those conditions.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that the Services already have capabilities to 
     provide intensive outpatient services for substance abuse 
     rehabilitation and behavioral health disorders. The Navy has 
     12 substance abuse rehabilitation programs located at 
     intensive outpatient program sites in the United States and 
     overseas, and the Air Force has one program. The Army is 
     establishing intensive outpatient programs at 17 military 
     medical treatment facilities by fiscal year 2016, and these 
     programs will offer multi-week intensive behavioral health 
     services to treat patients with severe behavioral health 
     conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder.
     Unified medical command
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that would 
     amend chapter 6 of Title 10, United States Code, to require 
     the President, through the Secretary of Defense and with the 
     advice and consent of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
     Staff, to establish a unified command for medical operations 
     to provide medical services to the Armed Forces and other 
     eligible health care beneficiaries.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program for operation of network of retail pharmacies 
         under TRICARE pharmacy benefits program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 714) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot program 
     to evaluate whether a preferred retail pharmacy network will 
     generate cost savings for the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We observe that the Department of Defense (DOD) already 
     operates a large preferred retail pharmacy network and 
     prescriptions filled in those pharmacies are subject to the 
     federal ceiling price policy established under section 
     1074g(f) of title 10, United States Code.
       We note with concern that DOD did not proactively monitor 
     the effects of the transition of maintenance medications 
     specific to affected beneficiaries from retail pharmacies to 
     mail order and military medical treatment facility (MTF) 
     pharmacies, including important effects such as availability 
     of medications, timeliness and accuracy of prescriptions 
     filled, and satisfaction for the TRICARE for Life pharmacy 
     pilot established by section 716 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239). 
     Accordingly, for the first 12 months following the expansion 
     of the pilot program requirements to additional TRICARE 
     beneficiaries as of October 1, 2015, we direct the DOD to 
     provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives a quarterly report detailing the 
     results of monitoring the effects of the transition from 
     retail pharmacies to mail order and MTF pharmacies on 
     affected beneficiaries, including actions taken to address 
     any issues identified as a result of these monitoring 
     efforts. Each quarterly report shall be submitted no later 
     than 30 days after the end of the respective quarter of the 
     fiscal year.
     Limitation on conversion of military medical and dental 
         positions to civilian medical and dental positions
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 717) that 
     would amend chapter 49 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     provide that a medical or dental position within the 
     Department of Defense may not be converted to a civilian 
     medical or dental position unless the Secretary of Defense 
     determines that: (1) the position is not a military essential 
     position; (2) conversion of the position would not result in 
     the degradation of medical or dental care or the medical or 
     dental readiness of the Armed Forces; and (3) conversion of 
     the position to a civilian medical or dental position is more 
     cost effective than retaining the position as a military 
     medical or dental position, consistent with Department of 
     Defense Instruction 7041.04.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Primary blast injury research
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 724) that would 
     require the peer-reviewed Psychological Health and Traumatic 
     Brain Injury Research Program of the Department of Defense to 
     conduct a study on blast injury mechanics covering a broad 
     range of blast injury conditions, including traumatic brain 
     injury.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Publication of certain information on health care provided by 
         the Department of Defense through the Hospital Compare 
         website of the Department of Health and Human Services
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 731) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a 
     memorandum of understanding with the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services to report, and make publicly available through 
     the Hospital Compare Internet web site of the Department of 
     Health and Human Services, information on quality of care and 
     health outcomes regarding patients treated at military 
     medical treatment facilities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We strongly encourage the Department of Defense to 
     demonstrate greater transparency of quality of care and 
     health outcomes data by making such data available on the 
     Hospital Compare web site of the Department of Health and 
     Human Services.
     Report on plan to improve pediatric care and related services 
         for children of members of the Armed Forces
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 735) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, a report setting forth the plan 
     of the Department to improve pediatric care and related 
     services for children of members of the Armed Forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We encourage the Department of Defense to continue 
     improvement in the delivery of healthcare services to 
     pediatric patients, especially those patients with severe 
     disabilities, and to correct deficiencies noted in the report 
     from the Secretary of Defense required by Section 735 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 
     (Public Law 112-239). We direct the Department of Defense to 
     include pediatric health outcome measures in the annual 
     report to Congress on TRICARE program effectiveness.
     Comptroller General report on use of quality of care metrics 
         at military treatment facilities
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 737) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     submit a report, not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives on the Department 
     of Defense's use of quality of care metrics in military 
     medical treatment facilities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note a requirement, in a separate section of this bill, 
     for the Comptroller General of United States to submit a 
     report assessing the Department's plans to improve health 
     outcomes, to create health value, and to ensure the provision 
     of quality health care in military medical treatment 
     facilities and through purchased care.
     Report on implementation of data security and transmission 
         standards for electronic health records
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 741) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs to submit a joint report to Congress by June 
     1, 2016, on the implementation of security and data 
     transmission standards by the Departments in the deployment 
     of new or updated electronic health records.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

  Title VIII--Acquisition Policy, Acquisition Management, and Related 
                                Matters


             SUBTITLE A--ACQUISITION POLICY AND MANAGEMENT

     Required review of acquisition-related functions of the 
         Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces (sec. 801)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would 
     require the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of Naval 
     Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the 
     Commandant of the Marine Corps to review their current 
     authorities provided in sections 3033, 5033, 5043, and 8033 
     of title 10, United States Code, and other relevant statutes 
     and regulations related to defense acquisitions for the 
     purpose of developing such recommendations that the Chief 
     concerned or the Commandant considers necessary to further or 
     strengthen the role of the Chief concerned or the Commandant 
     in the development of requirements, acquisition processes, 
     and the associated budget practices of the Department of 
     Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Role of Chiefs of Staff in the acquisition process (sec. 802)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) that 
     would amend section 2547

[[Page H7983]]

     of title 10, United States Code, to enhance the role of 
     Chiefs of Staff in the defense acquisition process. This 
     provision would reinforce the role and responsibilities of 
     the Chiefs of Staff in decisions regarding the balancing of 
     resources and priorities, and associated tradeoffs among 
     cost, schedule, technical feasibility, and performance on 
     major defense acquisition programs.
       The House bill had no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Expansion of rapid acquisition authority (sec. 803)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that 
     would amend section 806(c) of the Bob Stump National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note), 
     as amended by section 811 of the Ronald W. Reagan National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 
     108-375). This provision would enhance the rapid acquisition 
     authority currently provided to the Secretary of Defense by 
     allowing the Secretary to use this authority for two new 
     categories of supplies and associated support services that 
     the Secretary determines: (1) are urgently needed and impact 
     an ongoing or anticipated contingency operation that, if left 
     unfulfilled, could potentially result in loss of life or 
     critical mission failure; or (2) are urgently needed to 
     eliminate a deficiency that as the result of a cyber attack 
     has resulted in critical mission failure, the loss of life, 
     property destruction, or economic effects, or is likely to 
     result in critical mission failure, the significant loss of 
     life, property destruction, or economic effects.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Middle tier of acquisition for rapid prototyping and rapid 
         fielding (sec. 804)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics to issue guidance for an expedited 
     and streamlined ``middle tier'' of acquisition programs that 
     are intended to be completed within 5 years. These programs 
     would be distinctive from ``rapid acquisitions'' that are 
     generally completed within 6 months to 2 years and 
     ``traditional'' acquisitions that last much longer than 5 
     years.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Use of alternative acquisition paths to acquire critical 
         national security capabilities (sec. 805)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     procedures and guidelines for alternative acquisition 
     pathways to acquire capital assets and services that meet 
     critical national security needs.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
     procedures to be developed within 180 days.
     Secretary of Defense waiver of acquisition laws to acquire 
         vital national security capabilities (sec. 806)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
     would allow the Secretary of Defense to waive acquisition law 
     or regulation for the purpose of acquiring a capability that 
     is in the vital interest of the United States and is not 
     otherwise available to the Armed Forces of the United 
     States. The Secretary shall notify the congressional 
     defense committees at least 30 days before exercising the 
     waiver authority and designate a senior official who shall 
     be personally responsible and accountable for the rapid 
     and effective acquisition and deployment of the needed 
     capability.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Acquisition authority of the Commander of United States Cyber 
         Command (sec. 807)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 807) that 
     would authorize limited acquisition authority for the 
     Commander of United States Cyber Command (CYBERCOM).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     the Commander of CYBERCOM may obligate and expend up to $75.0 
     million of the funds made available for each fiscal year from 
     2016 through 2021. The amendment would add a requirement for 
     an implementation plan, the review of programs being acquired 
     under this authority by the Cyber Investment Management 
     Board, and an annual end of year assessment. The amendment 
     would also make a number of technical and conforming edits.
       We believe the Commander of CYBERCOM should utilize this 
     limited acquisition authority to fulfill cyber operations-
     peculiar and cyber capability-peculiar requirements the 
     services are unable to meet to ensure the Department of 
     Defense is adequately postured to defend and respond to cyber 
     threats. We maintain that this limited authority should not 
     be construed to replace the acquisition responsibilities of 
     the military services to fulfill their man, train and equip 
     requirements. We believe successful demonstration of these 
     acquisition authorities will require implementation of 
     memoranda of agreement with the military services to define 
     enduring responsibilities and more explicit definition cyber 
     operations-peculiar and cyber capability-peculiar 
     requirements.
     Report on linking and streamlining requirements, acquisition, 
         and budget processes within Armed Forces (sec. 808)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would 
     require the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of Naval 
     Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the 
     Commandant of the Marine Corps to each submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on their efforts to leverage 
     their existing statutory authorities in a manner that links 
     and streamlines their services' requirements, acquisition, 
     and budget processes in order to foster improved outcomes.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Advisory panel on streamlining and codifying acquisition 
         regulations (sec. 809)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 808) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology and Logistics to establish an advisory panel on 
     streamlining acquisition regulations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Review of time-based requirements process and budgeting and 
         acquisition systems (sec. 810)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 809) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff to review the requirements process 
     to provide for a time-based or phased distinction between 
     capabilities needed to be deployed urgently, within 2 years, 
     within 5 years, and longer than 5 years.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the scope of 
     the review.


SUBTITLE B--AMENDMENTS TO GENERAL CONTRACTING AUTHORITIES, PROCEDURES, 
                            AND LIMITATIONS

     Amendment relating to multiyear contract authority for 
         acquisition of property (sec. 811)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that would 
     strike the existing requirement that the head of an agency 
     must determine that substantial savings would be achieved 
     before entering into a multiyear contract.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that significant savings would be achieved before entering 
     into a multiyear contract.
       We agree that the government should seek to maximize 
     savings whenever it pursues multiyear procurement. However, 
     we also agree that significant savings (estimated to be 
     greater than $250.0 million), and other benefits, may be 
     achieved even if it does not equate to a minimum of 10 
     percent savings over the cost of an annual contract. We 
     expect a request for authority to enter into a multiyear 
     contract will include (1) the estimated cost savings, (2) the 
     minimum quantity needed, (3) confirmation that the design is 
     stable and the technical risks are not excessive, and (4) any 
     other rationale for entering into such a contract.
     Applicability of cost and pricing data and certification 
         requirements (sec. 812)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that 
     would limit the applicability of the Truth in Negotiations 
     Act (Public Law 87-653; 10 U.S.C. section 2306a) to offset 
     agreements.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide for 
     an exception to this limitation for subcontracts and 
     contracts under the offset agreement for work performed in a 
     foreign country that are directly related to the weapon 
     systems of defense-related item being purchased under the 
     contract.
     Rights in technical data (sec. 813)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) that 
     would clarify procedures for the validation of rights in 
     technical data for subsystems and components of major weapon 
     systems; and establish a government-industry advisory panel 
     to review sections 2320 and 2321 of title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Procurement of supplies for experimental purposes (sec. 814)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 826) that 
     would update the experimental acquisition authority in 
     section 2373 of title 10, United States Code, to apply to 
     transportation, energy, medical, and space flight and to 
     clarify when provisions of Chapter 137 of title 10 apply to 
     such procurements.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Amendments to other transaction authority (sec. 815)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 853) would make 
     permanent the other transactions authority (OTA) for 
     contracting established in section 845 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 
     103-160), as modified most recently by section 812 of the 
     Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). 
     The provision would also

[[Page H7984]]

     make changes to the authority to use such mechanisms.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (section 
     804) that modified the authority, as well as modifying the 
     definition of a ``non-traditional'' defense contractor.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) make 
     section 845 authority permanent; (2) clarify the authority to 
     use section 845 authority to acquire prototypes or follow-on 
     production items to be provided to contractors as government-
     furnished equipment; (3) ensure that innovative small 
     business firms are authorized to participate in other 
     transactions under section 845 without the requirement for a 
     cost-share (except where the small business is partnered with 
     a large business in a transaction); and (4) clarify the use 
     of follow-on production contracts or other transactions 
     authority. The provision further requires the Department of 
     Defense to study the benefits of permitting not-for-profit 
     entities to enter into other transactions agreements without 
     the requirement for cost sharing.
       We believe that the flexibility of the OTA authorities of 
     section 2371 of title 10, United States Code, and the related 
     and dependent authorities of section 845 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 
     103-160) as modified and codified in this provision, can make 
     them attractive to firms and organizations that do not 
     usually participate in government contracting due to the 
     typical overhead burden and ``one size fits all'' rules. We 
     believe that expanded use of OTAs will support Department of 
     Defense efforts to access new source of technical innovation, 
     such as Silicon Valley startup companies and small commercial 
     firms.
     Amendment to acquisition threshold for special emergency 
         procurement authority (sec. 816)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 854) that would 
     raise the simplified acquisition threshold from $100,000 to 
     $500,000, the micro-purchase threshold from $3,000 to $5,000, 
     and the special emergency procurement authority threshold for 
     purchases inside the United States from $250,000 to $750,000 
     and for purchases outside the United States from $1.0 million 
     to $1.5 million, and the small business reservation threshold 
     from $100,000 to $500,000.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1903 of title 41, United States Code to raise the 
     special emergency procurement authority threshold.
     Revision of method of rounding when making inflation 
         adjustment of acquisition-related dollar thresholds (sec. 
         817)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 855) that would 
     amend section 1908(e)(2) of title 41, United States Code, to 
     change the rounding method that is used when scheduled 
     adjustments are made to certain acquisition-related dollar 
     thresholds.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.


 SUBTITLE C--PROVISIONS RELATING TO MAJOR DEFENSE ACQUISITION PROGRAMS

     Acquisition strategy required for each major defense 
         acquisition program, major automated information system, 
         and major system (sec. 821)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that would 
     establish a new section in chapter 144 of title 10, United 
     States Code, that requires an acquisition strategy for each 
     major defense acquisition program and each major system 
     approved by a Milestone Decision Authority (MDA).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     841).
       The agreement includes a provision that combines these two 
     provisions. The provision would mandate that the Department 
     of Defense create an acquisition strategy for each major 
     defense acquisition program, each major automated information 
     system, and each major system approved by an MDA. The 
     provision further outlines key areas that should be 
     considered in the strategies, as well as a process for the 
     periodic review of the strategy by the MDA.
     Revision to requirements relating to risk management in 
         development of major defense acquisition programs and 
         major systems (sec. 822)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that would 
     establish a new section in chapter 144 of title 10, United 
     States Code that requires the program acquisition strategy 
     for each major defense acquisition program or major system to 
     include an identification of major program risks and a risk 
     management and mitigation strategy.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     842).
       The agreement includes a provision that combines these two 
     provisions designed to reduce programmatic risk. The 
     provision mandates that the program acquisition strategy 
     specifically address approaches to manage and mitigate risks, 
     and highlights a number of techniques that support such 
     mitigation. The provision further highlights the importance 
     of prototyping as a risk mitigation approach.
       We expect that the risk mitigation aspects of a program 
     acquisition strategy should be addressed with each increment 
     of a program. Further, we expect that the comprehensive 
     approach to risk mitigation should identify: each individual 
     risk to the program; risk management and mitigation 
     activities developed to address the risks; and resources to 
     support those mitigation activities.
     Revision of Milestone A decision authority responsibilities 
         for major defense acquisition programs (sec. 823)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that would 
     amend section 2366a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Milestone Decision Authority to make a written 
     determination, in lieu of a certification, before approving 
     milestone A.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     844).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that combines these 
     two provisions. The provision establishes the Milestone 
     Decision Authority's responsibility to ensure that an 
     acquisition program has demonstrated sufficient knowledge to 
     enter into a risk reduction phase following Milestone A and 
     has sound plans to progress to the development phase before 
     granting milestone approval. It specifies the considerations 
     the milestone decision authority must take into account, 
     thereby addressing the critical activities that need to 
     precede and occur during the succeeding risk reduction phase.
     Revision of Milestone B decision authority responsibilities 
         for major defense acquisition programs (sec. 824)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 826) that would 
     amend section 2366b of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) to make a 
     written determination, instead of a certification, for some 
     of the existing certification requirements before approving 
     milestone B.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     845).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that combines these 
     two provisions.
       The provision establishes the MDA's responsibility to 
     ensure that an acquisition program has demonstrated 
     sufficient knowledge to enter a development phase and has 
     sound plans in place to deliver the required capability, 
     before granting milestone approval. It specifies the 
     considerations the MDA must take into account, thereby 
     addressing the critical activities that need to precede and 
     occur during the development phase. It further specifies that 
     the MDA must certify that the program has a high likelihood 
     of accomplishing its intended mission based on a formal post-
     preliminary design review assessment, and that the technology 
     in the program has been demonstrated in a relevant 
     environment based on an independent review and assessment.
     Designation of milestone decision authority (sec. 825)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) that 
     would amend section 2430 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     designate the service acquisition executives as the milestone 
     decision authority for major acquisition programs managed by 
     the military services; require that if a program managed by 
     the services breaches thresholds in the Nunn-McCurdy Act, 
     section 2433 of title 10, United States Code, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall revoke service milestone decision authority 
     for the program; clarify that for service programs where the 
     service acquisition executive is the milestone decision 
     authority the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics would exercise advisory authority; 
     require that the service secretaries and service chiefs 
     certify in each Selected Acquisition Report that program 
     requirements are stable and funding is adequate to meet cost, 
     schedule, and performance objectives for each major defense 
     acquisition program; require the Deputy Chief Management 
     Officer to issue guidance to ensure that acquisition policy, 
     guidance, and practices support a streamlined decision making 
     and approval process that minimizes information requests on 
     service managed programs; and require not later than 180 days 
     after the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a plan to 
     implement the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics advisory authority for service 
     acquisition programs. The provision mandated implementation 
     of the changes within 1 year of the date of enactment of the 
     Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     the provision would apply to new programs reaching milestone 
     A after October 1, 2016; modify certain certification 
     requirements; and require the Secretary of Defense to review 
     the acquisition oversight process for major defense 
     acquisition programs and limit outside requirements for 
     documentation to an absolute minimum on those service managed 
     programs. We note that the Under Secretary of Defense for

     matters in acquisition to ensure the successful performance 
     in the acquisition or acquisition related fields.
     Provision of joint duty assignment credit for acquisition 
         duty (sec. 843)

     acquisition professionals.
       The Senate recedes.

     in market research and other training needed to improve the 
     Department's use of commercial contracting and pricing 
     methods to better access commercial industry sources.

     2020.
       The House recedes.


          SUBTITLE E--PROVISIONS RELATING TO COMMERCIAL ITEMS

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 804) that would: 
     1) amend chapter 140 of title 10, United States Code, by

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     863) that would require the modification to the Defense 
     Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to address the 
     continuing validity of commercial item determinations for

     Modification to information required to be submitted by 
         offeror in procurement of major weapon systems as 
         commercial items (sec. 852)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that would 
     amend section 2379 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     striking the requirement that in making a determination that 
     an item is a commercial item, the contracting officer shall 
     determine in writing that the offeror of the item has 
     submitted sufficient information to evaluate, through price 
     analysis, the reasonableness of the price for such item.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     864).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     hierarchy of information that can be requested by the 
     Department of Defense to be submitted by a contractor to 
     support a price reasonableness determination.
     Use of recent prices paid by the Government in the

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that would

     similar commercial items in establishing price 
     reasonableness.

     unique statues to contracts for commercial items and 
     commercial available off-the-shelf items.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Department of Defense to report to the congressional defense 
     committees identifying the defense-unique provisions of law 
     that are applicable for the procurement of commercial items 
     or commercial-off-the shelf items, both at the prime and

     congressional defense committees that the Department of 
     Defense will realize a significant cost savings as compared 
     to the cost of procuring a similar quantity of such item or 
     level of service using commercial acquisition procedures.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     written determination to be made prior to any conversion of 
     the procurement of commercial items to a non-commercial 
     acquisition procedure. We also require the Secretary of 
     Defense to establish procedures to track conversions of 
     future contracts and subcontracts for improved analysis and 
     reporting.
     Treatment of goods and services provided by nontraditional 
         defense contractors as commercial items (sec. 857)

       The House recedes.


                  SUBTITLE F--INDUSTRIAL BASE MATTERS

     Amendment to Mentor-Protege Program (sec. 861)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
     codify the Department of Defense Mentor-Protege Pilot Program 
     in Title 10 United States Code as a permanent program.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 877) that 
     would extend the authorization for Department of Defense 
     Mentor-Protege Pilot Program by 1 year.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     eligibility requirements, forms of assistance, extension of 
     the authorization and reporting requirements.
       We note that the Congressionally-mandated Mentor Protege 
     program is intended to support efforts of small and 
     disadvantaged businesses to partner with established defense 
     suppliers to improve their ability to deliver needed 
     technologies and services to the Department of Defense. The 
     committee is concerned that the program may not always be 
     executed to most effectively achieve mandated goals. Analysis 
     of this program indicates that in some cases, protege firms 
     participating in this program had received millions of 
     dollars in federal prime contract awards prior to the 
     establishment of their Mentor-Protege agreements, indicating 
     they may have possessed sufficient ability to market their 
     goods and services to federal customers without the need for 
     additional developmental assistance.
       We direct the Secretary of Defense to report to the House 
     Committee on Armed Services and the Senate Committee on Armed 
     Services, within 90 days of the enactment of this Act, on 
     changes to program policy and metrics that would ensure the 
     program meets the goal of enhancing the defense supplier base 
     in the most effective and efficient manner. The report shall 
     include recommendations to better direct the developmental 
     assistance to the most appropriate disadvantaged small 
     business concerns, including nontraditional defense 
     contractors currently providing goods or services in the 
     private sector that are most critical to enhancing the 
     capabilities of the defense supplier base and fulfilling key 
     Department needs. The report shall describe how the 
     Department will strengthen the review processes of program 
     investments to ensure activities proposed in developmental 
     plans are necessary for the protege's development, taking 
     into account the protege's reported prime contract and 
     subcontract awards, and that mentors are obtaining the best 
     value for all reimbursed activities. The report shall also 
     assess alternate models for incentives for participation by 
     mentor companies in the program other than direct 
     reimbursement, and shall detail program metrics that would 
     enable the Department evaluate the program's return on 
     investment and the actual impact of the development 
     assistance on the protege's ability to support DOD needs. We 
     recommend that the Secretary ensure that the annual reports 
     generated by the Defense Contract Management Agency are 
     sufficient to be used to evaluate team performance and mentor 
     reimbursement.
       Further, we direct the U.S. Comptroller General of the 
     United States, within 1 year of enactment of this Act, report 
     to the House Committee on Armed Services and the Senate 
     Committee on Armed Services, with an assessment of the 
     efficacy of the DOD Mentor-Protege pilot program, recommend 
     ways to harmonize the DOD Mentor-Protege pilot program with 
     the Small Business Administration's Mentor-Protege program, 
     and discuss whether the reimbursement mechanism for the DOD 
     Mentor-Protege pilot program should be maintained.
     Amendments to data quality improvement plan (sec. 862)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 
     amend section 15(s) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     644(s)) to require the Administrator of the Small Business 
     Administration to annually provide to the Committee on Small 
     Business of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
     Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate 
     certification of the accuracy and completeness of data 
     reported on bundled and consolidated contracts. This section 
     would also require the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to provide a report to the aforementioned committees 
     not later than the first day of fiscal year 2019 on the 
     effectiveness of the certification process and an assessment 
     of whether contracts were accurately labeled as bundled or 
     consolidated.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Notice of contract consolidation for acquisition strategies 
         (sec. 863)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would 
     amend section 44(c)(2) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     657q(c)(2)) to require the senior procurement executive or 
     chief acquisition officer to announce through a public 
     website that a determination has been made to bundle or 
     consolidate contracts within 1 week of making the 
     determination, but no later than 1 week prior to the issuance 
     of a solicitation.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Clarification of requirements related to small business 
         contracts for services (sec. 864)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would 
     amend section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     637(a)(17)) to clarify that the statute applies to contracts 
     for goods, but not services or construction.

[[Page H7987]]

     We note that the non-manufacturer rule (NMR) was established 
     to ensure that, when competition for a contract for goods is 
     restricted to small businesses, the goods ultimately 
     purchased were indeed the product of a small business. 
     However, we are concerned that the NMR is being applied to 
     services and construction contracts and could limit small 
     business participants contracting for services and 
     construction to the Federal Government. Therefore, we believe 
     this clarification to section 8(a)(17) is necessary.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Certification requirements for Business Opportunity 
         Specialists, commercial market representatives, and 
         procurement center representatives (sec. 865)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 840) that would 
     amend section 15 and section 4 of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 644 and 633, respectively) to set certification 
     requirements for commercial market representatives and to 
     modify the current certification requirements for procurement 
     center representatives and Business Opportunity Specialists.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Modifications to requirements for qualified HUBZone small 
         business concerns located in a base closure area (sec. 
         866)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would 
     amend section 152(a)(2) of title I of division K of the 
     Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (15 U.S.C. 632 note) to 
     extend the length of time covered base closure areas may 
     participate in the Historically Underutilized Business Zone 
     (HUBZone) program to either 8 years or until the Small 
     Business Administration announces which areas will qualify 
     for the HUBZone program after the next decennial census data 
     is released. This section would also amend section 
     3(p)(5)(A)(i)(l) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     632(p)(5)(A)(i)(I)) to include allowed covered base closure 
     area HUBZone participants to meet the program's employment 
     requirements by hiring 35 percent of their employees from any 
     qualified HUBZone, and would amend section 3(p)(4)(D) of the 
     Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(p)(4)(D)) to extend 
     physical boundaries of the covered base closure area, for 
     purpose of the HUBZone program, to include lands within a 25-
     mile radius of the base.
       The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions (sec. 
     882 and 883) that would amend the Small Business Act, title 
     15, United States Code to authorize the inclusion of 
     qualified disaster areas to the Historically Underutilized 
     Business Zone program administered by the Small Business 
     Administration and to authorize the inclusion of base closure 
     areas to the Historically Underutilized Business Zone program 
     administered by the Small Business Administration.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     both provisions.
     Joint venturing and teaming (sec. 867)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that would 
     amend section 15(e)(4) and 15(q)(1) of the Small Business Act 
     (15 U.S.C. 644(e)(4) and 15 U.S.C. 644(q)(1)), respectively, 
     by requiring agencies to give due consideration to the 
     capabilities and past performances of the small businesses 
     that submit offers as teams or joint ventures when the 
     contract is bundled, consolidated, or for a multiple-award 
     contract.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Modification to and scorecard program for small business 
         contracting goals (sec. 868)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 844) that would 
     codify a requirement to publish a scorecard on agency 
     achievements regarding contract awards to small businesses 
     and require a Government Accountability Office report on the 
     effectiveness of the scorecard methodology.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to remove the 
     requirement for the establishment and execution of the 
     program before the end of fiscal year 2017.
     Establishment of an Office of Hearings and Appeals in the 
         Small Business Administration; petitions for 
         reconsideration of size standards (sec. 869)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 845) that would 
     amend section 5 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 634) 
     that would establish an Office of Hearings and Appeals in the 
     Small Business Administration that would review petitions for 
     the revision of small business size standards.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Additional duties of the Director of Small and Disadvantaged 
         Business Utilization (sec. 870)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 885) that 
     would require the small business offices in the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense and the military departments to serve as 
     intermediaries between small businesses and contracting 
     officials prior to the award of contracts in cases where a 
     small business prospective contractor notifies the small 
     business office that it has reason to believe that the 
     contracting process has been modified to preclude a small 
     business from bidding on the contract or would give another 
     contractor an unfair competitive advantage.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 15(k) of the Small Business Act (title 15, United 
     States Code, section 644) to describe the responsibilities of 
     federal agency Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business 
     Utilization offices in cases where a small business concern 
     prior to the award of a contract believes that a 
     solicitation, request for proposal, or request for quotation 
     might unduly restrict the ability of the small business 
     concern to compete for the award.
     Including subcontracting goals in agency responsibilities 
         (sec. 871)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 841) that would 
     amend section 1633(b) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to include 
     consideration of success in attainment of small business 
     subcontracting goals as part of agency responsibilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Reporting related to failure of contractors to meet goals 
         under negotiated comprehensive small business 
         subcontracting plans (sec. 872)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 828) that 
     would amend section 834(d) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law 
     101-189) to require the Secretary of Defense to report to 
     Congress on any negotiated comprehensive subcontracting plan 
     that the Secretary determines did not meet the subcontracting 
     goals negotiated in the plan for the prior fiscal year.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program for streamlining awards for innovative 
         technology projects (sec. 873)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 831) that 
     would establish a pilot program to provide an exception from 
     the requirements under sections 2306a(1) and 2313 of title 
     10, United States Code, for contracts or subcontracts valued 
     at less than $7.5 million that are awarded based on a 
     technical merit based selection procedure.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Surety bond requirements and amount of guarantee (sec. 874)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 839) that would: 
     (1) amend section 411 of the Small Business Investment Act of 
     1958 (15 U.S.C. 694b(c)(1)) to increase the guarantee rate 
     for surety bonds issued pursuant to the Small Business 
     Administration's (SBA) Preferred Program to 90 percent; (2) 
     amend chapter 93 of title 31, United States Code, to require 
     that individual sureties have sufficient assets to redeem the 
     bonds; and (3) provide for a study by the Comptroller General 
     of the effects of these changes on small and disadvantaged 
     business enterprises.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
     provision addressing the SBA program and the provision 
     governing the use of individual sureties. However, each 
     provision will be subject to a 1-year delay in implementation 
     to allow for the necessary rulemaking. The agreement does not 
     retain the provisions amending the SBA surety bond program, 
     nor does it provide for a study by the Comptroller General.
       We believe the compromise will allow for greater protection 
     of federal agencies and subcontractors protected by surety 
     bonds, while allowing the SBA more time to document the 
     effects of changes to the surety bond program made by section 
     1695 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
     Review of Government access to intellectual property rights 
         of private sector firms (sec. 875)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract 
     with an independent entity with appropriate expertise to 
     conduct a review of Department of Defense regulations and 
     practices related to Government access to and use of 
     intellectual property rights of private sector firms.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Inclusion in annual technology and industrial capability 
         assessments of a determination about defense acquisition 
         program requirements (sec. 876)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 322) that would 
     amend section 2505 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     include in the required periodic assessment of defense 
     capability an additional requirement for the Secretary of 
     Defense to also determine the extent to which the 
     requirements associated with defense acquisition programs can 
     be satisfied by the present and projected performance 
     capacities of industries supporting the sectors or 
     capabilities in the assessment and evaluate the reasons for 
     any variance from applicable preceding determinations.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

[[Page H7988]]

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     review of the number of industry sources and 
     whether requirements could be satisfied by industries not 
     actively supporting the Department of Defense.


                       SUBTITLE G--OTHER MATTERS

     Consideration of potential program cost increases and 
         schedule delays resulting from oversight of defense 
         acquisition programs (sec. 881)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would 
     amend section 139 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     including a new subsection that would require the Director of 
     Operational Test and Evaluation to consider the potential for 
     increases in program cost estimates or delays in schedule 
     estimates in the implementation of policies, procedures, and 
     activities related to operational test and evaluation, and to 
     take appropriate action to ensure that the conduct of 
     operational test and evaluation activities do not 
     unnecessarily impede program schedules or increase program 
     costs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that all relevant Department of Defense acquisition, 
     management and oversight agencies consider the potential for 
     increases in program costs or cost estimates or delays 
     resulting from their office's oversight efforts with regards 
     to defense acquisition.
     Examination and guidance relating to oversight and approval 
         of services contracts (sec. 882)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 857) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics to complete an examination by March 
     1, 2016, of the decision authority related to acquisition of 
     services and to develop and promulgate guidance to improve 
     capabilities related to services contracts requirements 
     development, source selection, and contract oversight and 
     management.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Streamlining of requirements relating to defense business 
         systems (sec. 883)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 858) that would 
     revise section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify responsibilities for the management of defense 
     business information technology systems. As a result, this 
     section would repeal the current reporting requirement 
     contained in section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, 
     and insert a new annual reporting requirement through the 
     year 2020 on the revised requirements of section 2222.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (section 
     871).
       The agreement includes a provision that would combine the 
     two provisions. The revised section 2222 of title 10, United 
     States Code, streamlines the requirements for development and 
     management of business systems, as well as associated 
     reporting requirements; mandates elements of guidance to be 
     issued by the Secretary of Defense on investments in and 
     acquisition of business systems; clarifies the 
     responsibilities of senior officials in the acquisition and 
     management of business systems; and emphasizes the need for 
     robust business process engineering prior to investment in 
     commercial technology or the modification of commercial 
     systems for use by the Department of Defense.
     Procurement of personal protective equipment (sec. 884)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 860) that would 
     ensure the Secretary of Defense uses best value contracting 
     methods to the maximum extent practicable when procuring an 
     item of personal protective equipment.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     824 that would: (1) prohibit the use of reverse auctions and 
     lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) contracting 
     methods for the procurement of personal protective equipment 
     where the level of quality needed or the failure of the item 
     could result in combat casualties; and (2) establish a 
     preference for best value contracting methods when procuring 
     such equipment.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to combine the two 
     provisions to ensure that the Department of Defense to the 
     maximum extent practicable uses best value criteria for the 
     procurement of these items.
       We are concerned that an overarching bias towards reducing 
     prices paid by the Department of Defense (DOD) to the 
     exclusion of other factors could result in DOD buying low 
     cost products that have the potential to negatively impact 
     the safety of U.S. military personnel. We believe this could 
     be a particular problem with the quality of personal 
     protective equipment such as combat helmets, body armor, 
     ballistic eye protection, and other similar individual 
     equipment issued to U.S. military personnel.
     Amendments concerning detection and avoidance of counterfeit 
         electronic parts (sec. 885)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that would 
     amend section 818(c)(2)(B) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112--81) 
     to expand the eligibility for covered contractors to include 
     costs associated with rework and corrective action related to 
     counterfeit electronic parts as allowable costs under 
     Department of Defense contracts.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
     Department of Defense to approve of industry-selected trusted 
     suppliers.
     Exception for AbilityOne products from authority to acquire 
         goods and services manufactured in Afghanistan, Central 
         Asian States, and Djibouti (sec. 886)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that would 
     amend Section 886 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2008 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) and Section 1263 
     of the Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 
     113-291) to exclude items that can be procured under the 
     AbilityOne procurement list outlined in section 8503(a) of 
     title 41, United States Code from preferred local procurement 
     in Afghanistan, Iraq, Central Asia, and Djibouti.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     884) that would amend section 886 National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) 
     and section 801 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) to exclude items in the 
     procurement list described in section 8503(a) of title 41 
     from preferred local procurement in Afghanistan and Central 
     Asia, if such a good can be produced and delivered by a 
     qualified non-profit agency for the blind or a non-profit 
     agency for other severely disabled in a timely fashion to 
     support mission requirements.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Effective communication between government and industry (sec. 
         887)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 866) that would 
     require the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to 
     prescribe a regulation making clear that agency acquisition 
     personnel are permitted and encouraged to engage in 
     responsible and constructive exchanges with industry, so long 
     as those exchanges are consistent with existing law and 
     regulation and do not promote an unfair competitive advantage 
     to particular firms.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Standards for procurement of secure information technology 
         and cyber security systems (sec. 888)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 870) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment of 
     the application of the Open Trusted Technology Provider 
     Standard to Department of Defense procurements for 
     information technology and cyber security acquisitions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand on 
     the types of open technology standards to be assessed.
     Unified information technology services (sec. 889)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) that 
     would require the Department of Defense to conduct a business 
     case analysis to determine the most effective and efficient 
     way to acquire common services across Department of Defense 
     (DOD) networks and ensure interoperability and competition.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Cloud strategy for Department of Defense (sec. 890)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 874) that 
     would require the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the 
     Department of Defense to develop a cloud strategy for the 
     secret level of classified data and the Secret Internet 
     Protocol network (SIPRnet). The provision would also require 
     the CIO to develop a consistent pricing and cost recovery 
     process for the use by Department of Defense components of 
     the Intelligence Community's cloud services. The provision 
     would also require the CIO to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of imposing a minimum set of open standards for 
     cloud infrastructure, middle-ware, metadata, and application 
     programming interfaces to promote interoperability, 
     information sharing, access to data, and competition.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Development period for Department of Defense information 
         technology systems (sec. 891)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 875) that 
     would amend section 2445b of title 10, United States Code, to 
     modify requirements applicable to a major automated 
     information system program that fails to achieve a full 
     deployment decision within 5 years after the initiation of 
     the program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Revisions to pilot program on acquisition of military purpose 
         nondevelopmental items (sec. 892)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 876) that 
     would amend section 866 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) 
     to expand the applicability of the pilot program on the 
     acquisition of military

[[Page H7989]]

     purpose nondevelopmental items to additional classes of 
     contractors and apply the standards of the Competition in 
     Contracting Act of 1984 (10 U.S.C. 2304) to these contracts.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Improved auditing of contracts (sec. 893)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 878) that 
     would authorize the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) to 
     provide outside audit support to non-Defense Agencies upon 
     certification that the backlog for incurred cost audits is 
     less than 12 months of incurred cost inventory.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the 
     DCAA from providing outside audit support to non-Defense 
     Agencies until DCAA certifies that the backlog for incurred 
     costs is less than 18 months of incurred-cost inventory, not 
     require the Secretary of Defense to use outside auditing 
     staff to help address DCAA's audit backlog, and streamline 
     reporting requirements.
     Sense of Congress on evaluation method for procurement of 
         audit or audit readiness services (sec. 894)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish values and 
     metrics for the procurement of audit or audit readiness 
     services and review the offeror's past performance before 
     using a lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation 
     method for the procurement of such services.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment stating that before 
     using the lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation 
     method for the procurement of audit or audit readiness 
     services, the Secretary of Defense should establish the 
     values and metrics for evaluating companies offering audit 
     services, including financial management and audit expertise 
     and experience, personnel qualifications and certifications, 
     past performance, technology, tools, and size.
     Mitigating potential unfair competitive advantage of 
         technical advisors to acquisition programs (sec. 895)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics to issue guidance on identifying 
     and addressing potential unfair competitive advantage of 
     technical advisors to acquisition officials.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to revise the guidance 
     required under the provision.
       We believe that the technical advisors described in the 
     provision include contractors, federally funded research and 
     development centers, university-affiliated research centers, 
     non-profit entities, and federal laboratories that provide 
     systems engineering and technical direction, participate in 
     technical evaluations, support preparation of specifications 
     or work statements, or otherwise provide technical advice to 
     acquisition officials on the conduct of defense acquisition 
     programs. We further believe that ``potentially unfair 
     competitive advantage'' includes unequal access to 
     acquisition officials responsible for award decisions or 
     allocation of resources, or to acquisition information 
     relevant to award decisions or allocation of resources.
       In responding to this provision, we expect the Secretary to 
     review these definitions, as well as the efficacy of current 
     conflict-of-interest policies, the use of non-disclosure 
     agreements, the application of appropriate regulations, and 
     decisions to allocate resources through direct award of funds 
     to intramural programs or sole-source task orders to entities 
     that provide technical advice on defense programs versus open 
     and competitive extramural solicitations. Based on the 
     results of this review, we expect the Secretary to review and 
     revise guidance to clarify these issues if necessary.
       We also expect the Secretary to develop metrics and 
     processes for collecting and evaluating complaints and 
     concerns relating to examples of the exploitation of unfair 
     competitive advantage by technical advisors.
     Survey on the costs of regulatory compliance (sec. 896)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 879) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a survey of 
     defense contractors with the highest level of reimbursements 
     for cost-type contracts and identify the cost to industry of 
     regulatory compliance with government unique acquisition 
     regulations and requirements that are not imposed on 
     commercial item contracts.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Treatment of interagency and State and local purchases when 
         the Department of Defense acts as contract intermediary 
         for the General Services Administration (sec. 897)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 847) on the 
     sense of Congress on the treatment of the procurement of fire 
     hoses.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     830) that would clarify that the requirements under chapter 
     148 of title 10, United States Code would not apply to a 
     contract executed by the Department of Defense where the 
     Department is acting as an intermediary for the General 
     Services Administration (GSA) for purchase of products by 
     other federal agencies or state and local governments.
       The House recedes.
       We note that the chapter 148 process of obtaining a 
     domestic non-availability determination of certain products, 
     such as fire hoses, could have a significant effect on the 
     ability of Federal agencies to respond to natural disasters 
     or other emergencies.
     Competition for religious services contracts (sec. 898)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 829) that 
     would ensure that non-profit organizations can compete for 
     contracts for religious related services on a United States 
     military installation.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program regarding risk-based contracting for smaller 
         contract actions under the Truth In Negotiations Act 
         (sec. 899)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) that 
     would amend the Truth in Negotiations Act (Public Law 87-653; 
     10 U.S.C. section 2306a) to raise the threshold for the 
     requirement to provide certified cost or pricing data in non-
     price competitive procurements on non-commercial items from 
     the current $750,000 to $5.0 million and require the 
     Department of Defense (DOD) to establish a risk-based 
     contracting approach, under which certified cost or pricing 
     data would be required for a risk-based sample of contracts, 
     to ensure that DOD is getting fair and reasonable prices for 
     such contracts.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would establish a 
     pilot program to test this authority.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Sense of Congress on the desired tenets of the defense 
         acquisition system
       The House bill contained provisions (sec. 800 and sec. 821) 
     that express the sense of Congress that acquisition reform 
     efforts and weapon system acquisitions require improvement.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note the concern that the incentives of the current 
     acquisition system lead to too many defense acquisitions 
     concurrently chasing finite dollars. We are concerned that 
     the Nation often endures weapons delivered late, at too high 
     of a cost, with performance that falls short, and that are 
     difficult and costly to maintain. Furthermore, the 
     conventional acquisition process is not sufficiently agile to 
     support warfighter demands.
       We express the need for reform for national security 
     reasons to maintain technological and military dominance. We 
     are concerned that the current process is so rigid and time-
     consuming that the Department is often unable to effectively 
     tap into the innovation occurring in the commercial 
     marketplace. We note that commercial research and development 
     (R&D) now represents 75 percent of the national total, and 
     global R&D is now more than twice that of the United States. 
     We suggest that removing unnecessary legislative, regulatory, 
     and cultural barriers to new commercial competitions is 
     necessary to create better incentives for and increased 
     access to innovation beyond the Department. We believe these 
     steps are critical for national security in the future, 
     especially in areas such as cyber security, robotics, data 
     analytics, miniaturization, and autonomy.
       We are concerned that the Department of Defense currently 
     lacks effective oversight over a contracted services 
     portfolio that has grown in magnitude over the last decade. 
     The military departments and defense agencies have failed to 
     adopt leading private sector best practices in the 
     acquisition and management of commercially available services 
     and information technologies. Departmental leadership has 
     limited insight into the services being acquired and even 
     less awareness of the services that may be needed in the 
     future.
       We believe that the acquisition reform provisions in this 
     bill are a first start in addressing these challenges but it 
     will require all stakeholders in the acquisition system--the 
     Department of Defense, Congress, and industry--to work 
     together to achieve success. Success will be measured by the 
     timely delivery of affordable and effective military 
     equipment and services. We will continue to work for an 
     acquisition system that is more proactive, agile, 
     transparent, and innovative.
     Independent study of matters related to bid protests
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract, 
     within 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
     with an independent research entity that is a not-for-profit 
     entity or a federally funded research and development center 
     with appropriate expertise and analytical capability to carry 
     out a comprehensive study of factors leading to bid protests.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     880) that would require a report by the Government 
     Accountability Office on bid protests.
       The agreement does not include either of these provisions.
     Compliance with inventory of contracts for services
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 807) that would 
     limit the expenditure of

[[Page H7990]]

     funds authorized for the operation of the Office of the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness until 
     certain conditions are met regarding the Department of 
     Defense's compliance with the requirement for an inventory of 
     contracts for services.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We continue to recognize the value of obtaining better 
     visibility over the use of services contracts by defense 
     components and agencies to better understand how contracted 
     services are being used to support Department of Defense 
     missions. We note a distinction between services contracts 
     which are measured in the same manner as staff augmentation 
     contracts of contractor full-time equivalents and 
     performance-based services contracts and other services 
     contracts which rely on a high degree of embedded capital 
     equipment and business process re-engineering. We direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to examine the approach the Department 
     is taking to comply with section 2330a, United States Code, 
     and determine whether it is or is not producing a product 
     that enhances the oversight of service contracting activities 
     and submit a report explaining the results of that 
     examination to the congressional defense committees no later 
     than March 1, 2016, including efforts to better manage 
     contractor and civilian personnel costs within the 
     Department. We recognize the information technology aspects 
     of the inventory present technical challenges and encourage 
     the Secretary of Defense to investigate and pursue existing 
     Department of Defense and service component information 
     technology systems which could present a timely solution and 
     provide data relevant to strategic workforce planning. To the 
     extent that the Secretary identifies that the process and 
     technology are not producing an oversight-enhancing product, 
     we expect the Secretary to propose an alternative method of 
     inventory.
     Requirement for acquisition skills assessment biennial 
         strategic workforce plan
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would 
     amend section 115b of title 10, United States Code, which 
     requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a biennial 
     strategic workforce plan on critical skills and competencies 
     of the civilian employee workforce of the Department of 
     Defense, to include an additional assessment of new or 
     expanded critical skills and competencies needed by the 
     civilian employee workforce to address new acquisition 
     process requirements established by law or policy.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modification to requirements relating to determination of 
         contract type for major defense acquisition programs and 
         major systems
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that would 
     amend section 2306 of title 10, United States Code, by adding 
     a new subsection, and repealing the requirements in certain 
     subsections of section 818 of the John Warner National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 
     109-364), relating to the modification of Department of 
     Defense regulations.
       The Senate amendment contained a related provision (sec. 
     821) that would require the Defense Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation Supplement to be revised to establish a preference 
     for fixed-price contracts, including fixed-price incentive 
     contracts, in the determination of contract type for 
     development programs.
       The agreement does not include either provision.
     Requirement that certain ship components be manufactured in 
         the national technology and industrial base
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 836) that would 
     amend section 2534(a) of title 10, United States Code, and 
     would require certain auxiliary ship components to be 
     procured from a manufacturer in the national technology and 
     industrial base.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Policy regarding solid rocket motors used in tactical 
         missiles
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 837) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that every 
     tactical missile program of the Department of Defense that 
     uses solid propellant as the primary propulsion system shall 
     have at least one rocket motor supplier within the national 
     technology and industrial base and would allow the Secretary 
     to waive this requirement in the case of compelling national 
     security reasons.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We agree on the importance of sustaining rocket motor 
     production options to ensure a healthy tactical missile 
     industrial base.
     FAR Council membership for administrator of Small Business 
         Administration
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 838) that would 
     amend section 1302 of title 41, United States Code, by adding 
     the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to the 
     Federal Acquisition Regulatory (FAR) Council.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We believe that the FAR Council should work closely with 
     the Small Business Administration to ensure that consistent 
     regulations are issued from both organizations, to the 
     benefit of both Federal agencies and their small business 
     contractors.
     Limitations on reverse auctions
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 846) that would 
     amend the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 631 et. seq.) to 
     prohibit the use of reverse auctions for the purchase of 
     construction services; goods purchased to protect Federal 
     employees, members of the Armed Forces, or civilians from 
     bodily harm; and goods or services awarded based on factors 
     other than price and technical responsibility if the contract 
     is awarded using a Small Business Act procurement authority. 
     For all other reverse auctions conducted using a Small 
     Business Act procurement authority, the provision required 
     training of contracting officers, restricted the activities 
     that could be undertaken by third-party agents, required 
     honesty in price rankings, and required that revisions to 
     offers be permitted throughout the course of the auction.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that similar language independent of the Small 
     Business Act and applicable only to the Department of Defense 
     was adopted as section 824 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). Recognizing that two-thirds 
     of reverse auctions are conducted outside of the Department 
     of Defense, we see value in addressing the use of this 
     procurement method in civilian agencies but believe it is 
     premature to place additional restrictions upon the 
     Department until section 824 of last year's authorization is 
     implemented.
     Extension of limitation on aggregate annual amount available 
         for contract services
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that would 
     extend the limitation on the aggregate annual amount 
     available for contract services.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Strengthening program and project management performance by 
         the Department of Defense
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 867) that would 
     require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
     to develop a plan to strengthen program and project 
     management performance for improving management of IT 
     programs and projects.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     810) that would outline Department of Defense 
     responsibilities under chapter 87 of title 10, United States 
     Code for improving program and project management.
       The agreement does not include either provision.
     Synchronization of defense acquisition curricula
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 868) that would 
     require that the President of the Defense Acquisition 
     University convene an annual review board to synchronize 
     defense acquisition curricula across the Department of 
     Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) plays 
     an important role in enhancing the quality and innovative 
     capacity of the defense acquisition workforce. DAU training 
     and education will be critical to enable the workforce to 
     better position DOD to access global and commercial 
     technologies and services, as well as to put the tenets of 
     acquisition reform into actual practice. We urge DAU to work 
     with other educational institutions within and outside DOD to 
     leverage a wide array of available expertise and synchronize 
     acquisition educational activities, best practices and 
     curricula. Further, in order to enhance education and 
     training of the acquisition workforce and support effective 
     acquisition reform, we direct DAU to engage with leading 
     educational and research experts on procurement and 
     acquisition issues from both within and outside the Federal 
     Government, including through personal exchanges, joint 
     studies and analyses, and other interactions.
     Research and analysis of defense acquisition policy
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 869) that would 
     amend section 1746(a) of title 10, United States Code to add 
     examples of academic institutions that could be used for the 
     research and analysis of defense acquisition policy issues.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modifications to the justification and approval process for 
         certain sole-source contracts for small business concerns
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that would 
     repeal the requirement for the simplified justification and 
     approval process established in section 811 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 
     111-84; 123 Stat. 2405; 41 U.S.C. 3304 note).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Annual report on foreign procurements
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 886) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 
     relating

[[Page H7991]]

     to specific foreign procurements by the Department of Defense 
     that result from waivers to the Buy America Act.
       The House bill had no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that the Department's Report to Congress on Fiscal 
     Year 2014 Purchases from Foreign Entities identified 
     approximately $5.4 billion in spending on nearly 23,000 
     purchases for which the restrictions of the Buy America Act 
     are not applicable because they are for items that are 
     manufactured and used outside the United States.
       We direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional defense committees a report listing 
     specific procurements by the Department of Defense in fiscal 
     year 2016 of articles, materials, or supplies valued greater 
     than $5.0 million, using the exception under section 
     8302(a)(2)(A) of title 41, United States Code, relating to 
     articles, materials, and supplies for use outside the United 
     States. We note that this report may be submitted as part of 
     the report required under section 8305 of such title.

      Title Ix--Department of Defense Organization and Management

                     LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS ADOPTED

     Update of statutory functions of the Chairman of the Joint 
         Chiefs of Staff relating to joint force development 
         activities (sec. 901)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would 
     amend section 153(a)(5), title 10, United States Code, by 
     adding a new subsection that would require the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff to advise the Secretary of Defense 
     on development of joint command, control, communications and 
     cyber capability, including integration and interoperability 
     of such capability through requirements, integrated 
     architectures, data standards and assessments.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     901).
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps (sec. 
         902)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the United States Marine 
     Corps, within the Department of the Navy, should remain the 
     Nation's expeditionary crisis response force and that the 
     Marine Corps should be organized, trained, and equipped in 
     the manner and for such purposes specified in section 5063 of 
     title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1048).
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                   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.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Change of period for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
         review of the Unified Command Plan
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would 
     amend section 161(b)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     change the period for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
     review of the Unified Command Plan from 2 years to 4 years.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Reorganization and redesignation of Office of Family Policy 
         and Office of Community Support for Military Families 
         with Special Needs
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 902) that 
     would amend sections 1781, 1781(a), 1781c, and 131 of title 
     10, United States Code, to reorganize and redesignate the 
     Office of Community Support for Military Families with 
     Special Needs and the Office of Family Policy into the Office 
     of Military Family Readiness Policy. The provision would also 
     require the director of the Office of Military Family 
     Readiness Policy to be a member of the Senior Executive 
     Service or a general or flag officer.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Guidelines for conversion of functions performed by civilian 
         or contractor personnel to performance by military 
         personnel
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 907) that would 
     provide guidelines for the conversion of functions performed 
     by civilian or contractor personnel to performance by 
     military personnel.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We have included in the outcome for sec. 321 of the House 
     bill an additional reporting requirement related to the 
     methodology for making cost comparisons between Department of 
     Defense workforce sectors.

                      Title X--General Provisions


                     SUBTITLE A--FINANCIAL MATTERS

     General transfer authority (sec. 1001)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that would 
     allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $5.0 billion 
     of fiscal year 2016 funds authorized in division A of this 
     Act to unforeseen higher priority needs.
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that 
     would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $4.5 
     billion of fiscal year 2016 funds authorized in division A of 
     this Act to unforeseen higher priority needs.
       The House recedes.
     Accounting standards to value certain property, plant, and 
         equipment items (sec. 1002)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1003) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the 
     Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board to establish 
     accounting standards for large and unordinary general 
     property, plant, and equipment items.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The agreement includes this provision.
     Report on auditable financial statements (sec. 1003)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to develop a report ranking 
     organizations according to their advancement in the 
     achievement of auditable financial statements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     reporting requirement.
       We note that 2015 marks 10 years implementing audit and 
     financial management improvement efforts under the 
     Department's Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) 
     plan. We are concerned that recent setbacks could affect the 
     long term goals of the Department. For fiscal year 2014, the 
     Department significantly scaled back its effort to audit the 
     one-year Statement of Budgetary Activity (SBA) instead of the 
     multi-year Statement of Budgetary Resources (SBR) required by 
     the 2014 statutory deadline. In 2015, the Department withdrew 
     its clean opinion on the Marine Corps' fiscal year 2012 SBA. 
     Despite substantial and unquantified resources being invested 
     in IT systems, personnel, training, and consulting services 
     over the last decade, progress remains limited.
       The Department's 2017 deadline to declare audit readiness 
     for its full complement of financial statements is fast 
     approaching. Well-known and well-documented material 
     weaknesses that are supposed to be addressed under the FIAR 
     plan remain in place. We look forward to continued 
     discussions with the Department on how these weaknesses will 
     be resolved in time for the full audit of the Department's 
     fiscal year 2018 financial statements.
       Further, we believe that the Department should better 
     understand best practices of private and public sector 
     organizations who have obtained and maintained clean audits, 
     including many who are large, multinational corporations, 
     deal with emergency operations, and work with classified 
     materials and activities. We expect that the implementation 
     of some of these practices, especially the use of 
     organizational incentives to drive change, development of 
     milestones to measure progress towards auditability, and more 
     strategic and rigorous business process re-engineering and IT 
     modernization, will support DOD's efforts to obtain clean 
     audits in a more effective and efficient manner.
     Sense of Senate on sequestration (sec. 1004)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that 
     stated sequestration is an inadequate budgeting tool to 
     address the nation's deficits and debt and that relief must 
     be accomplished for fiscal year 2016 and 2017. Furthermore 
     relief should include equal defense and non-defense relief 
     and be offset through changes in mandatory and discretionary 
     categories, and revenues.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that states budget caps 
     imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 must be modified or 
     eliminated through a bipartisan legislative agreement.
     Annual audit of financial statements of Department of Defense 
         components by independent external auditors (sec. 1005)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1002) that 
     would require the Department of Defense Inspector General to 
     fulfill its statutory audit responsibilities to perform 
     financial statement audits for the military departments and 
     other designated components of the Department by contracting 
     with independent external auditors.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     selection and reporting requirements.


                  SUBTITLE B--COUNTER-DRUG ACTIVITIES

     Extension of authority to support unified counterdrug and 
         counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1011)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1011) that 
     would extend for 2 fiscal years the authority of the 
     Secretary of Defense to provide assistance to support the 
     unified counterdrug and counterterrorism campaign of the 
     Government of Colombia (Section 1021 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108--375), 
     as most recently amended by section 1011 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 
     113--291).
       The House bill contained no similar provisions.

[[Page H7992]]

       The House recedes.
     Extension and expansion of authority to provide additional 
         support for counter-drug activities of certain foreign 
         governments (sec. 1012)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that would 
     extend, by 1 year, the authority to provide support for 
     counterdrug 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 
     1013 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 201 (Public Law 113-291).
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1012) that 
     would amend section 1033 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85), 
     as most recently amended by section 1013 of the Carl Levin 
     and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). Specifically, 
     the provision would extend the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
     authority to provide additional support for counterdrug 
     activities of certain foreign governments through fiscal year 
     2017, as well as add Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia as 
     countries eligible to receive assistance under this 
     authority.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     Governments of Kenya and Tanzania to the list of governments 
     eligible to receive support under this authority as well as 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     congressional defense committees on the Department's planned 
     use of this authority in the future.
       We believe that the growing nexus between terrorism and 
     transnational organized crime in East Africa warrants 
     increased attention by the Department of Defense. Therefore, 
     we direct the Secretary of Defense to develop and submit not 
     later than December 31, 2015 a plan for building the capacity 
     of the Government of Somalia to combat the threat posed by 
     illicit trafficking.
     Sense of the Congress on Central America (sec. 1013)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that would 
     express a series of findings and a statement of policy on a 
     Plan Central America to address violence, instability, 
     illicit trafficking, and transnational organized crime in the 
     region.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     Sense of Congress that the United States should, to the 
     extent practicable, prioritize efforts to address the 
     challenges to regional security in Central America.


                SUBTITLE C--NAVAL VESSELS AND SHIPYARDS

     Additional information supporting long-range plans for 
         construction of naval vessels (sec. 1021)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1024) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Defense to provide 
     additional information in the annual naval vessel 
     construction plan required by section 231 of title 10, United 
     States Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund (sec. 1022)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that would 
     amend section 1022 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-291) by expanding the transfer authority 
     provided to the National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund from the 
     Department of the Navy to the Department of Defense; 
     providing authority to enter into economic order quantity 
     contracts for ballistic missile submarines and other nuclear 
     powered vessels; and providing incremental funding and 
     facilities funding authority. This section further requires 
     the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report on the Fund to 
     the congressional defense committees by March 1, 2016, and 
     annually through the year 2025.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision that would 
     expand the transfer authority provided to the National Sea-
     Based Deterrence Fund from the Department of the Navy to the 
     Department of Defense (sec. 1022).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     Fund to include the authorization of incremental funding 
     authority, economic order quantity contract authority, 
     advance construction authority, and transfer authority from 
     any Department of Defense appropriation. In addition, the 
     Senate amendment would add the authorization to transfer 
     unobligated fiscal year 2017 funds into the Fund.
       Because the Ohio-class replacement program is scheduled to 
     carry 70 percent of our nation's strategic weapons and the 
     fiscal investments will make this program one of the largest 
     acquisition efforts in the Department of Defense, we believe 
     that the Secretary should have the authority to implement 
     streamlined financial management and acquisition strategies 
     for the program, including appropriate use of incremental 
     funding and economic order quantity authority. We believe 
     that the National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund could provide the 
     Secretary with that flexibility, while ensuring that Congress 
     has the correct visibility into the program. To that end, we 
     expect that a budget request for the Fund would be 
     accompanied by information sufficient for Congress to 
     exercise adequate oversight of the Fund and urge the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop a fiscal strategy that 
     supports this strategic investment.
       To better assess the most efficient method of procuring the 
     Ohio-class replacement program and providing the oversight 
     necessary for this unique investment, we direct the Secretary 
     of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees with the fiscal year 2017 budget request that 
     includes the following elements:
       (1) The acquisition strategy to build Ohio-class 
     replacement submarines that will leverage the enhanced 
     procurement authorities provided in the Fund, including 
     allocation, facility, and vendor base considerations;
       (2) An identification of any additional authorities the 
     Secretary may need to make management of the Ohio-class 
     replacement more efficient;
       (3) An assessment of the acquisition strategy developed in 
     paragraph (1) with a conventional acquisition strategy to 
     include a cost assessment and overall impacts to the 
     submarine industrial base;
       (4) A description of how funds would be requested in and 
     obligated from the National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund, 
     including what, if any, connection the Fund will have with 
     other appropriations accounts (e.g., Shipbuilding and 
     Conversion, Navy);
       (5) An explanation of how financial management 
     accountability and transparency would be maintained related 
     to funds moving in to and out of the National Sea-Based 
     Deterrence Fund; and
       (6) Ohio-class replacement construction elements that have 
     been included in Research, Development, Testing and 
     Evaluation, Navy budget request, including nuclear components 
     and common missile compartment construction efforts, listed 
     by program element title and number with requested funding.
       We look forward to reviewing the Secretary's report, 
     including options to better support an efficient acquisition 
     strategy that could include coordinating with the Virginia-
     class submarine program, which will continue during the Ohio-
     class replacement submarine construction period. According to 
     the Navy, it is likely that these programs will share some 
     common components. The Navy may be able to coordinate 
     component procurement across both submarine programs to 
     achieve better efficiency and cost savings. Such 
     coordination might be managed within the normal 
     appropriations accounts, or could be facilitated by 
     providing additional flexibility within the Fund.
     Extension of authority for reimbursement of expenses for 
         certain Navy mess operations afloat (sec. 1023)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1022) that would 
     extend the authority for reimbursement of expenses for 
     certain Navy mess operations afloat authorized in section 
     1014 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), as amended by 
     section 1021 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383), 
     from September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2020, and certain 
     technical and clarifying amendments.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1023).
       The Senate recedes.
     Availability of funds for retirement or inactivation of 
         Ticonderoga class cruisers or dock landing ships (sec. 
         1024)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1023) that would 
     limit the obligation and expenditure of funds authorized to 
     be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 
     2016 for the retirement, inactivation, or storage of 
     Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Whidbey Island-class 
     amphibious ships. The provision would also require the 
     modernization of two Ticonderoga-class cruisers to begin in 
     fiscal year 2016 only after sufficient materials are 
     available to begin the modernization period. Finally, the 
     modernization period would be limited to 2 years with the 
     ability of the Secretary of the Navy to extend the period for 
     another 6 months.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would only 
     prohibit the retirement, preparation for retirement, 
     inactivation, or placement in storage of any Ticonderoga-
     class cruisers or Whidbey Island-class amphibious ships, 
     except to allow the modernization and upgrades for those 
     ships to continue in accordance with the plan required by 
     section 1026 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
     (Public Law 113-291).
       The Navy is inducting two cruisers into modernization 
     status in fiscal year 2015 and plans to induct two additional 
     cruisers into this status in fiscal year 2016. However, we 
     understand the Navy has not programmed the manpower and 
     operations funding for the remaining seven cruisers in the 
     future years defense program (FYDP) beyond fiscal year 2016. 
     We also understand that the FYDP does not support the long-
     term plan for modernization of these cruisers and dock 
     landing ships beyond fiscal year 2018.
       This is at odds with statements by Secretary of the Navy 
     Ray Mabus that he is ``100-percent'' committed to ensuring 
     the ships are modernized and returned back to sea and similar 
     statements by other administration officials.

[[Page H7993]]

       The lack of fiscal support in the fiscal year 2016 FYDP and 
     previous requests for the early retirement of some of these 
     cruisers has led us to question the administration's resolve 
     to retain all of these cruisers through the end of their 
     service lives. In order to demonstrate the administration's 
     commitment to the plan, it is incumbent on the administration 
     to close this gap in force structure statements and fiscal 
     decisions. Continued congressional acceptance of the Navy's 
     plan will be predicated on the administration's decision to 
     fully program across the FYDP for manpower, readiness, and 
     modernization for all cruisers and dock landing ships.
     Limitation on the use of funds for removal of ballistic 
         missile defense capabilities from Ticonderoga class 
         cruisers (sec. 1025)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1024) that would 
     prohibit the removal of ballistic missile capabilities from 
     any of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers until the Secretary of 
     the Navy certifies to the congressional defense committees 
     that the Navy has obtained the ballistic missile capabilities 
     required by the most recent Navy Force Structure Assessment 
     or determined to upgrade such cruisers with an equal or 
     improved ballistic missile defense capability.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that adds the 
     following third option to the Secretary of the Navy's 
     certification--obtaining at least 40 large surface combatants 
     with ballistic missile defense capability.
     Independent assessment of United States Combat Logistic Force 
         requirements (sec. 1026)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 143) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an agreement 
     with a federally funded research and development center to 
     conduct an assessment of the anticipated future demands of 
     the combat logistics force ships of the Navy and the 
     challenges these ships may face when conducting and 
     supporting future naval operations in contested maritime 
     environments. This section would also require the Secretary 
     of Defense to submit the assessment to the congressional 
     defense committees by April 1, 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     transferred.
     Reenactment and modification of certain prior requirements 
         for certifications relating to transfer of detainees at

     congressional defense committees setting forth the details of 
     such a detention strategy for current and future individuals 
     captured and held pursuant to the Authorization for Use of 
     Military Force pending the end of hostilities. We expect that 
     discussion to include an explanation of the Department's plan

     case-by-case basis, and the costs associated with each 
     element of that plan.

         personnel of allied forces and certain other 
         modifications to Department of Defense program to provide 
         rewards (sec. 1042)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1031) that would 
     modify section 127b of title 10, United States Code, to make 
     permanent the authority to make rewards to a person providing 
     information or non-lethal assistance to U.S. Government

     specifically eliminate subsection (d) of section 229, 
     regarding semiannual reports on obligations and expenditures.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on interrogation techniques (sec. 1045)

     effective control of an officer, employee, or agent of the 
     United States Government, or detained within a facility 
     owned, operated, or controlled by a department or agency of 
     the United States, in any armed conflict.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 
     limitation on interrogation techniques inapplicable to law 
     enforcement and requires an update to the Army Field Manual 
     no sooner than three years after the date of enactment. We 
     recognize that law enforcement personnel may continue to use 
     authorized non-coercive techniques of interrogation, and that 
     Army Field Manual 2-22.3 is designed to reflect best 
     practices for interrogation to elicit reliable statements.

     Department of Defense excess property program (sec. 1051)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1052) that would 
     make changes to excess defense article donations authorized 
     under section 2576a of title 10, United States Code. 
     Specifically, the provision would require the establishment 
     of a public website containing information on certain 
     transfers made under the program, establish specific criteria 
     for State program managers to be met before the Defense 
     Logistics Agency may transfer certain types of equipment, and 
     mandate several reviews of program objectives and efficacy, 
     to include training recommendations, by a federally funded 
     research and development center, the Comptroller General of 
     the United States, and the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to include additional 
     requirements on transfer of controlled property, a study on 
     controlled property transfers, the incidence of controlled 
     property that is lost or unaccounted for, and procedures 
     governing the return of controlled property to the Department 
     of Defense.
     Sale or donation of excess personal property for border 
         security activities (sec. 1052)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060b) that 
     would amend Section 2576a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     include border security activities as a specific category 
     eligible for the transfer of excess personal property of the 
     Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that any controlled equipment, as designated in 
     Department of Defense Instruction 4160.28, Volume 2, or any 
     succeeding instruction, transferred to the Department of 
     Homeland Security through the ``1033 program'' as amended by 
     this section remains the property of the Department of 
     Defense, and this section does not authorize the Department 
     of Homeland Security to transfer controlled DOD equipment to 
     any non-federal entity. We expect the Department of Defense 
     and the Department of Homeland Security to use memoranda of 
     agreement similar to those used for the transfer of equipment 
     to law enforcement agencies to state the conditions of 
     transfer and compliance, including that non-compliance 
     requires the return of all equipment to DOD.
     Management of military technicians (sec. 1053)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1046) that 
     would convert not less than 20 percent of the general 
     administration, clerical, financial, and office service 
     occupation positions identified in the report of the 
     Secretary of Defense under section 519 of the Ike Skelton 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 
     (Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1397) from military technician 
     (dual status) positions to positions filled by individuals 
     who are employed under section 3103 of title 5, United States 
     Code, by no later than January 1, 2017. The provision also 
     requires the phased-in termination of military technicians 
     (non-dual status) to begin on January 1, 2017.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Limitation on transfer of certain AH-64 Apache helicopters 
         from Army National Guard to regular Army and related 
         personnel levels (sec. 1054)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1053) that would 
     change section 1712 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Authority to provide training and support to personnel of 
         foreign ministries of defense (sec. 1055)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (1082) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide training 
     to personnel of foreign ministries of defense (or ministries 
     with security force oversight), or

[[Page H7995]]

     regional organizations with security missions for the purpose 
     of: (1) enhancing civilian oversight of foreign security 
     forces; (2) establishing responsible defense governance and 
     internal controls in order to help build effective, 
     transparent, and accountable defense institutions; (3) 
     assessing organizational weaknesses and establishing a 
     roadmap for addressing shortfalls; and (4) enhancing 
     ministerial, general or joint staff, service level core 
     competencies such as personnel and readiness, acquisition and 
     logistics, strategy and policy, and financial management.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
     authority on December 31, 2017.
     Information operations and engagement technology 
         demonstrations (sec. 1056)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1055) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
     program or multiple pilot programs related to information and 
     strategic communications capabilities to support the 
     geographic and functional combatant commanders.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to carry out a series of technology 
     demonstrations, subject to the availability of funds for such 
     purpose or to a prior approval reprogramming, related to 
     information operations and information engagement to support 
     the geographic and functional combatant commanders, with 
     associated notification requirements.
     Prohibition on the use of funds for the retirement of 
         helicopter sea combat squadron 84 and 85 aircraft (sec. 
         1057)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1056) that would 
     prohibited the obligation of appropriated funds to retire, 
     prepare to retire, transfer or place in stowage any aircraft 
     in Helicopter Sea Squadrons 84 and 85 until the Secretary of 
     the Navy certifies to Congress that the Navy has conducted a 
     cost-benefit analysis, identified a replacement capability 
     and deployed the capability.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       We expect the directed cost-benefit analysis to include any 
     cost-sharing arrangements between the combatant commanders, 
     including U.S. Special Operations Command, and the Navy, as 
     well as a long term plan for recapitalization of the deployed 
     capability.
     Limitation on availability of funds for destruction of 
         certain landmines (sec. 1058)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1057) that 
     limits the Department of Defense's ability to destroy any 
     anti-personnel landmines (APL) until the Secretary of Defense 
     provides a comprehensive study on the tactical and 
     operational impacts of a ban on APL, a strategy for replacing 
     current APL systems that are compliant with current DOD 
     policy, and a certification that alternative systems will not 
     endanger members of the Armed Forces. The provision provides 
     an exception for landmines certified as unsafe by the 
     Secretary.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     required certification and would link the limitation on the 
     obligation or expenditure of funds for the destruction of 
     anti-personnel landmine munitions, with the exception 
     included in the House provision, to the delivery of a new 
     report to be delivered to Congress within 180 days after the 
     enactment of this Act.
       We understand the Secretary of Defense is conducting an 
     Analysis of Alternatives (AOA) on Area Denial Capability 
     Development to include next generation anti-personnel 
     landmines, and that the AOA is expected to be complete in the 
     fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. We expect this AOA to 
     inform the report required in this provision. We further 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to provide the AOA to the 
     congressional defense committees on its completion.
     Department of Defense authority to provide assistance to 
         secure the southern land border of the United States 
         (sec. 1059)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1041) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with concurrence of 
     the Secretary of Homeland Security, to provide assistance to 
     U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the purpose of 
     increasing the ongoing efforts to secure the southern land 
     border of the United States.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment and 
     additional reporting requirements.


                    subtitle f--studies and reports

     Provision of defense planning guidance and contingency 
         planning guidance information to Congress (sec. 1060)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1061) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to provide to the 
     congressional committees, not later than 120 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, a report containing summaries of the 
     defense planning guidance and contingency planning guidance 
     developed in accordance with the requirements of such 
     section, and to include those summaries in the annual budget 
     documents submitted to Congress. Additionally, this section 
     would provide a limitation on the obligation or expenditure 
     of 25 percent of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
     this Act for Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, for the 
     Office of the Secretary of Defense, until 15 days after the 
     date on which the Secretary of Defense submits the first 
     report required by this section.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     funding limitation for the Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense.
     Expedited meetings of the National Commission on the Future 
         of the Army (sec. 1061)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1069) that would 
     amend section 1702(f) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291: 128 Stat. 3665). The section 
     would be amended by adding at the end the following new 
     sentence: ``Section 10 of Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
     U.S.C. App. I) shall not apply to a meeting of the Commission 
     unless the meeting is attended by 5 or more members of the 
     Commission.''
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Modification of certain reports submitted by Comptroller 
         General of the United States (sec. 1062)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1062) that would 
     amend section 3255(a)(2) of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2455), to provide the 
     Comptroller General of the United States, in any odd-numbered 
     year, 150 days to submit the report required by such section. 
     This provision would also amend section 3134 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 
     111-84) to eliminate a requirement for the Comptroller 
     General to conduct a final review of all projects carried out 
     by the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental 
     Management using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 
     2009 Public Law 111-5) funds.
       The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions (sec. 
     3120 and 3121) that would extend the Government 
     Accountability Office's annual reporting deadline for 
     reviewing the budget of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration weapons program from 90 days to 150 days in 
     odd-numbered years when NNSA is required to submit a detailed 
     Stockpile Stewardship Management Plan (SSMP). Additionally, 
     section 3121 would repeal phase three of section 3134 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 
     (Public Law 111-84) related to defense environmental cleanup 
     projects, as the Government Accountability Office has 
     reported on all phases of this project.
       The Senate recedes. We emphasize that, to support the 
     legislative calendar in odd-numbered years, the Comptroller 
     General should still provide the congressional defense 
     committees interim briefings on the SSMP.
     Report on implementation of the geographically distributed 
         force laydown in the area of responsibility of United 
         States Pacific Command (sec. 1063)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1063) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Commander of U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM), to submit a report 
     to congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 
     2016 on the Department of Defense's plans for implementing 
     the geographically distributed force laydown in the area of 
     responsibility of U.S. Pacific Command.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Independent study of national security strategy formulation 
         process (sec. 1064)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1064) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to contract with an 
     independent research entity to carry out a study of the 
     Department of Defense role in, and process for, the 
     formulation of national security strategy. This study would 
     include several case studies on the role of the Department of 
     Defense in the formulation of previous national security 
     strategies and issues related to the formulation process 
     throughout the history of the United States and a complete 
     review and analysis of the current national security strategy 
     formulation process as it relates to the Department of 
     Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would also 
     require the report to include recommendations for the 
     executive and legislative branches on the best practices for 
     enabling the Department of Defense to formulate long-term 
     strategy. We believe the Secretary of Defense should continue 
     to make every effort to recruit, cultivate, and further 
     strategic thinking within the Department.
     Report on the status of detection, identification, and 
         disablement capabilities related to remotely piloted 
         aircraft (sec. 1065)

     Report on options to accelerate the training of remotely 
         piloted aircraft pilots (sec. 1066)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1067) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit, not later 
     than February 1, 2016, a report to the congressional defense 
     committees addressing the immediate and critical training and 
     operational needs of the remotely piloted aircraft community.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Studies of fleet platform architectures for the Navy (sec. 
         1067)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1021) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to commission three 
     studies to be submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees in unclassified, and to the extent necessary, in 
     classified versions to recommend potential future fleet 
     architectures. These studies would provide competing visions 
     and alternatives for future fleet architectures. One study 
     would be performed by the Department of the Navy, with input 
     from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division. The 
     second study would be performed by a federally funded 
     research and development center. The third study would be 
     conducted by a qualified independent, non-governmental 
     institute, as selected by the Secretary of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     required submission date of the reports to April 1, 2016.
       We note that the majority of the total ownership costs for 
     Navy surface ships, almost 70 percent, is comprised of 
     operating and support costs incurred over the life of a ship. 
     Personnel costs are the largest contributor to operating and 
     support costs incurred over a ship's life cycle. As such, 
     transitioning from the personnel- and workload-intensive 
     ships of the past to optimally crewed ships with reduced 
     workloads has potential to free up resources for the Navy to 
     use in recapitalizing the fleet. However, previous studies 
     have found that reduced and optimal manning initiatives were 
     implemented without complete analysis and may have had 
     detrimental effects on crew training and the material 
     condition of some legacy class ships. In addition, reductions 
     in crew size are frequently offset by increases in shore 
     support and contractor personnel to address shipboard 
     workload.
       The Navy's newest surface ship classes, the Ford-class 
     aircraft carrier, the Littoral Combat Ship and the Zumwalt-
     class destroyer, have been designed to leverage technology 
     and optimal manning concepts to reduce the total crew sizes 
     aboard these ships, but the impact of these efforts on 
     reducing total ownership costs have not been fully 
     demonstrated. Therefore, we direct the Comptroller General of 
     the United States to prepare a report to the congressional 
     defense committees by July 1, 2016 as to the following 
     elements:
       1. To what extent has the Navy implemented reduced manning 
     initiatives in the surface fleet?
       2. To what extent has the Navy identified total manpower 
     requirements, including both shipboard and shore-based, to 
     support optimally manned ships over their life cycle?
       3. To what extent have manning reductions on Navy surface 
     ships resulted in reductions to total ownership costs and to 
     what extent has the Navy realized its projected manpower 
     reductions and cost savings?
       4. How have reduced manning initiatives impacted the Navy's 
     plans to operate and support ship classes in the areas of 
     personnel, training, and maintenance (e.g., training 
     qualification times, contractor support for shipboard 
     maintenance, shipboard system casualties)?
       5. To what extent does the Navy rely on technological 
     innovations and design features to enable manning reductions 
     in new ship construction, and to what extent have these 
     reductions been realized after the ships have entered 
     service?
     Report on strategy to protect United States national security 
         interests in the Arctic region (sec. 1068)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1043) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit not later 
     than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act a report 
     that sets forth an updated military strategy for the 
     protection of United States national security interests in 
     the Arctic region.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Comptroller General briefing and report on major medical 
         facility projects of Department of Veterans Affairs (sec. 
         1069)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1085) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     provide a briefing 270 days after the enactment of this Act 
     and a report not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act on the administration and oversight 
     Department of Veterans Affairs of contracts for the design 
     and construction of major medical facility projects, as 
     defined in section 8104(a(3)(A) of title 38, United States 
     Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Submittal to Congress of munitions assessments (sec. 1070)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1063) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives not later than March 1, 2016, and each year 
     thereafter, the most current Department of Defense Munitions 
     and Munitions Sufficiency Assessments, as defined in 
     Department of Defense Instruction 3000.04. The provision 
     would also require the Department of Defense to provide the 
     committees the most recently approved Joint Requirements 
     Oversight Council memo resulting from the annual Munitions 
     Requirements Process.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
     requirement to submit reports and assessments in the 
     provision 2 years after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.
     Potential role for United States ground forces in the Pacific 
         theater (sec. 1071)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1064) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a comprehensive operational 
     assessment of a potential future role for U.S. ground forces 
     in the island chains of the western Pacific in creating anti-
     access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities in cooperation with 
     host nations to deter and defeat aggression in the region.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with amendments.
       We direct the Secretary and the Chairman to conduct the 
     assessment required by subsection (a) using operations 
     research methods and wargaming, in addition to historical 
     analysis of the use of ground forces by the United States and 
     Japan in the Pacific theater during World War II, technical 
     analysis, analysis of force structure impacts, and any other 
     analysis they deem appropriate. Further, in making this 
     assessment, the Secretary should consider the potential 
     geopolitical impact on the United States posture in the 
     Pacific theater associated with a strategy of long-term 
     engagement by United States ground forces.
       We also direct the Secretary and the Chairman to confer 
     with U.S. Pacific Command; the Joint Requirements and 
     Analysis Division and the wargaming resources of the 
     Warfighting Analysis Division of the Force Structure, 
     Resources, and Assessment Directorate of the Joint Staff, 
     augmented as necessary and appropriate from the war colleges 
     of the military departments; the Office of Net Assessment; 
     any appropriate federally funded research and development 
     centers (FFRDCs); and any other organizations or divisions as 
     they deem appropriate.
       Additionally, we note that the term ``ground forces'' in 
     this section is inclusive of all U.S. military services, 
     including both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps.

     Weapons Council; remove a biannual reporting requirement on 
     the Proliferation of Security Initiative; remove briefings on 
     dialogue between the United States and the Russian Federation 
     on nuclear arms; and remove a reporting requirement regarding 
     annual updates to an implementation plan for the whole-of-
     government vision prescribed in the National Security

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

     acquisition that are overly burdensome on the Department of 
     Defense, duplicative, or outdated.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
     section 8305 of title 41, United States Code, report on 
     purchases from foreign entities.
     Repeal or revision of miscellaneous reporting requirements 
         (sec. 1078)

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
     following reports repealed in the House provision: report on 
     regional defense counterterrorism fellowship program, report 
     on airlift requirements, and report on airborne signals 
     intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
     Repeal of reporting requirements (sec. 1079)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1061) that

     Department of Defense that have been included in law in past 
     years.
       The House bill contained a similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would strike a

     Termination of requirement for submittal to Congress of 
         reports required of the Department of Defense by statute 
         (sec. 1080)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1062) that 
     would, 2 years after the date of enactment of the Act, repeal 
     requirements for recurring reports due to Congress. This 
     would include only report requirements in effect on April 1, 
     2015.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     repeal of reports to those reports enacted by a National 
     Defense Authorization Act. The amendment also requires the 
     Department of Defense to provide the congressional defense 
     committees a list of all reports still required, the citation 
     for each report, and a draft legislative provision for the 
     repeal of such reports.
       We note the importance and value of reports from the 
     Department of Defense as a key enabler of effective 
     oversight. However, we also note the burden excessive 
     reporting places on the Department and we are eager to strike 
     a balance in the coming years.

     authorize the Secretary of Defense, upon the request of the 
     Attorney General, to provide assistance in Department of 
     Justice activities related to the enforcement of section

     903).
       The agreement includes this provision.
       We are aware that the Ocean Research Advisory Panel plays 
     an important role in setting the civilian agenda for ocean 
     research. We encourage the Navy and the Executive Office of 
     the President to engage in discussions with appropriate 
     federal science and technology agencies to ensure the 
     transfer of funding and responsibilities do not impair the 
     Panel's activities.

     to provide appropriate levels of commercial airlift 
     augmentation to maintain networks and infrastructure, 
     exercise the system, and interface effectively within the 
     military airlift system. This section also would require the

     submission of the President's request, an assessment of the 
     number of block hours necessary to achieve sufficient levels 
     of commercial airlift augmentation, a strategic plan for

     Reform and improvement of personnel security, insider threat 
         detection and prevention, and physical security (sec. 
         1086)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1090) that 
     would mandate the implementation of reforms in the personnel 
     security clearance process, insider threat detection and 
     prevention, and physical security in the Department of 
     Defense (DOD) and elsewhere in the Federal Government.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments.
       The provision would:
       (1) Require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to 
     implement Continuous Evaluation (``CE'') for Department of 
     Defense employees to reduce critical gaps in background 
     investigations; to develop and implement an Insider Threat 
     strategy detailing the Department's plan to provide a 
     centralized capability that can quickly analyze the results 
     of automated records checks and reports of behavior of 
     concern and recommend action as appropriate; to centralize 
     the programmatic authority of such activities under one 
     official (the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence); 
     to provide resources for the expedited deployment of identity 
     management systems for access to DOD facilities which was a 
     critical gap identified in the aftermath of the Fort Hood and 
     Washington Navy Yard shootings; and to centralize control of 
     requests for security clearances from the Office of Personnel 
     Management (OPM) to achieve efficiencies, as well as other 
     key recommendations resulting from the study by the Director 
     of Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation mandated by section 
     907 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2014.
       (2) Require the Secretary of Defense to develop standards 
     for physical and logical access to secured facilities and 
     information systems, and requires the Secretary, in 
     coordination with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
     the Chair of the Performance Accountability Council (PAC), 
     and the Administrator of the Government Services 
     Administration, to develop a capability to share and apply 
     electronic identity information across the government.
       (3) Require OMB to formalize the Security, Suitability and 
     Credentialing Line of Business to ensure adequate oversight 
     and efficient investments are made across the enterprise.
       (4) Require the PAC Chair to develop a plan to ensure 
     reciprocity management systems function effectively and 
     securely. The intent is also for agencies to formulate a

[[Page H7998]]

     plan to address how an automated and continuous background 
     check for national security personnel will travel with that 
     individual as long as they hold a clearance, regardless of 
     changes in employer and program or contract support.
       (5) Require the PAC Chair, along with the Security and 
     Suitability Executive Agents and the Secretary of Defense, to 
     jointly develop a plan to ensure implementation of uniform 
     self-reporting requirements for all personnel who hold a 
     clearance, including contractors. The provision mandates that 
     reported information be shared with those who have a need to 
     know, to ensure that individuals with derogatory information 
     are not allowed to move around the government without the 
     negative information being known.
       The second part of the provision would:
       (1) Clarify and update the agencies covered under section 
     9101. This section has not been updated since 2000--before 
     the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the 
     Office of the Director of National Intelligence. This 
     revision also includes agencies that are delegated authority 
     by the Security and Suitability Executive Agents and expands 
     the ``covered agency'' definition to explicitly include 
     contractor background investigators working on behalf of 
     covered agencies.
       (2) Clarify and update the applicable purposes of 
     investigation to expressly include basic suitability or 
     fitness assessments, credentialing under Homeland Security 
     Presidential Directive 12, Transportation Security 
     Administration Security Threat Assessment Programs, and 
     Federal Aviation Administration checks required by Federal 
     Statute.
       (3) Permit investigative agencies to conduct both biometric 
     (fingerprint) and biographic checks for criminal history 
     records information, as appropriate. The investigative 
     agencies are to determine what is appropriate. Nothing under 
     this section prohibits the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
     from requiring a request for criminal history record 
     information.
       (4) Amend section 9101 to indicate that when more than one 
     automated system can provide the same information, the most 
     cost-effective system to the Federal Government shall be 
     used.
       (5) Require that the Department of State, Bureau of 
     Consular Affairs, American Citizen Services (ACS), release 
     information about in individual's interaction with law 
     enforcement or intelligence organizations abroad if that 
     individual has contacted ACS for assistance after they have 
     been arrested or has been in contact with intelligence 
     agencies of a foreign country while abroad.
       (6) Require contractors who conduct background 
     investigations on behalf of a covered agency to comply with 
     necessary security requirements when accessing an automated 
     information delivery system to request criminal history 
     record information.
       (7) Clarify Title 5 U.S.C. section 7512 to strengthen the 
     Federal Government's ability to take action against 
     individuals who falsify background investigation information.
       (8) Require an annual report from the PAC to describe and 
     analyze the extent and effectiveness of federal, state, and 
     local systems for sharing criminal history record 
     information; analyze the extent and effectiveness of 
     education programs regarding criminal history record 
     information sharing; provide updates on the implementation of 
     best practices for sharing criminal history record 
     information, including ongoing limitations experienced by 
     investigators; and provide descriptions of other limitations 
     to investigators and State and local law enforcement 
     agencies.
       (9) Request a Government Accountability Office report 
     summarizing the major characteristics of federal critical 
     infrastructure protection access controls, as well as 
     background check and credentialing standards for the 
     protection of critical infrastructure and key resources.
     Transfer of surplus firearms to Corporation for the Promotion 
         of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety (sec. 1087)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1085) that would 
     authorize the transfer of surplus firearms to the Civilian 
     Marksmanship Program (CMP).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that 
     establishes a pilot program limited to .45 caliber handguns 
     and restricts the amount of handguns that can be transferred 
     to the CMP to no more than 10,000 units annually. 
     Additionally, it requires the CMP to provide a report to 
     Congress after the conclusion of the pilot program, obtain a 
     federal firearm license to conduct any and all handgun sales, 
     and adhere to all local, state, and federal laws in respect 
     to handgun sales.
     Modification of requirements for transferring aircraft within 
         the Air Force inventory (sec. 1088)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1086) that would 
     amend section 345 of the Ike Skelton National Defense

     to ease administrative burdens and facilitate non-contentious 
     transfers of aircraft from the Air Reserve Components to the 
     regular component of the Air Force.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     341).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment specifying technical 
     clarifications.
     Reestablishment of Commission to Assess the Threat to the 
         United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack (sec. 
         1089)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1087) that would 
     reinstate the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United 
     States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks. This provision 
     also provides updated guidance on the membership and duties 
     of that commission.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Mine countermeasures master plan (sec. 1090)

     countermeasures master plan to the congressional defense 
     committees along with the annual budget request of each 
     fiscal year from 2018 through 2023. This provision would also 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a one-time report 
     to the congressional defense committees within 1 year of 
     enactment of this Act as to current and future mine 
     countermeasure force structure based on current mine 
     countermeasure capabilities, including an assessment as to 
     whether certain decommissioned ships should be retained in 
     reserve operating status.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require, as 
     part of the one-time report, an assessment of the Littoral 
     Combat Ship (LCS) mine countermeasures mission package 
     increment one performance against the initial operational 
     test and evaluation criteria, as well as an assessment of 
     other commercially available mine countermeasures systems 
     that could supplement or supplant LCS mine countermeasures 
     mission package systems.
     Congressional notification and briefing requirement on 
         ordered evacuations of United States embassies and 
         consulates involving the use of United States Armed 
         Forces (sec. 1091)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1090) that would 
     express a sense of Congress on the importance of ensuring the 
     safety and security of members of the Armed Forces of the 
     United States overseas pending an ordered evacuation of a 
     United States embassy or consulate and require the Secretary 
     of Defense and the Secretary of State to notify and brief 
     appropriate congressional committees as soon as practicable 
     after the initiation of an ordered evacuation.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       We believe that it is critical to ensure the safety and 
     security of all U.S. personnel stationed overseas, including 
     members of the Department of Defense ordered to assist in an 
     ordered evacuation of a U.S. embassy or consulate. We expect 
     the notification required by this provision should include, 
     to the extent practicable: (1) an overview of the ordered 
     evacuation, (2) an overview of the manner and location from 
     which the Department of State will continue to conduct the 
     duties and responsibilities of the embassy or consulate, (3)

     informed family members of any hostage.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying technical amendment 
     that would modify the Coordinator's duties and scope of

     committees within 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

     weapon systems and would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     assess of the feasibility and advisability of assigning 
     additional functions regarding sustainment, manufacturing, 
     and industrial base policy to the Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Logistics and Materiel Readiness.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to

     recommendations concerning the feasibility and advisability 
     of assigning additional functions regarding sustainment, 
     manufacturing, and industrial base policy to the Assistant

         Administration to sustain nuclear weapons modernization 
         and Naval Reactors
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1002) that would 
     provide the Secretary of Defense the authority to transfer up 
     to $150.0 million to the nuclear weapons and naval reactor 
     programs of the National Nuclear Security Administration 
     (NNSA) if the amount authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the weapons 
     activities of the NNSA is less than $8.9 billion (the amount 
     specified for fiscal year 2016 in the report required by 
     section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84)).

         shipyards
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1021) that would

         regarding software sustainment
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1026) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on

     federally funded research and development center.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note that weapon systems are increasingly reliant on 
     software and the sustainment of these systems presents new 
     issues and challenges. Weapon systems may include proprietary 
     data and unique software that could limit sustainment to a 
     single entity and may result in cost increases and increased 
     risk to operations and readiness.
       We recommend the Department examine private sector and 
     government best practices to inform its software sustainment 
     strategy. Additionally, we encourage the Secretary of Defense 
     to determine if the current definitions and policies 
     regarding software sustainment provides adequate guidance for 
     program managers to ensure software system sustainment 
     planning include assessments of both public and private 
     capabilities, costs, and operational risks.

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1047) that 
     expressed the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense

         certain spouses and children of deployed members of the 
         Armed Forces
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1054) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to authorize space-available 
     travel for environmental morale leave by certain 
     unaccompanied spouses and dependent children of deployed 
     members of the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that that effective June 9, 2015 the Department of 
     Defense (DOD) policy on space-available travel for dependents 
     of deployed members was updated to authorize dependents of 
     military members deployed for thirty or more consecutive days

       The House recedes.
     Prohibition on closure of United States Naval Station, 
         Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1059) that 
     prohibited the President from closing or abandoning the 
     United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and

     the wing would not affect the military readiness of the 
     airborne and special operations units stationed at Fort 
     Bragg, North Carolina.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     136).
       The House recedes.
       We agree to include the Senate provision elsewhere in this 
     Act because it would require sufficient certification by the 
     Secretaries and Chiefs of Staff of the Army and the Air Force 
     as to the military readiness of Army airborne and special 
     operations units regarding support from Air Force airlift 
     operations.

         formulation of long-term strategy
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1065) that 
     requires the Secretary of Defense to direct the Office of Net 
     Assessment (ONA) to conduct a study on the role of the 
     Department of Defense in the formulation of long-term

     airfields;
       (3) An assessment of the impact, if any, to logistics and 
     resource planning as a result of the reduction of certain 
     capabilities of airfields in the United States that support 
     both military and civilian air operations; and
       (4) A review of the existing agreements and authorities 
     between the Commander of the United States Northern Command 
     and the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration

     at a minimum, include an assessment of the current security 
     situation in Bahrain, the safety and security of Department 
     of Defense personnel and dependents, and appropriate measures 
     to mitigate the threat to U.S. operations and personnel 
     including potential alternative facilities should U.S.

     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. 1091) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to determine the cost of 
     transportation provided in the case of a trip taken by a 
     Member, officer, or employee of the Senate or the House of 
     Representatives in carrying out official duties outside the 
     United States and to report that cost not later than 10 days 
     after completion of the trip to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate or the House of Representatives, and 
     to make the information available on the Secretary's official 
     public website until the expiration of the 4 year period 
     which begins on the final day of the trip involved.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We support public disclosure of official travel by Members, 
     officers, and employees of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives. To this end, we note that section 1754(b) of 
     title 22, United States Code, contains reporting and 
     disclosure requirements 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 that 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 delegations, 
     expediency, and accessing destinations that have little or 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.
     Observance of Veterans Day

     States to observe 2 minutes of silence on Veterans Day in 
     honor of the service and sacrifice of veterans throughout the 
     history of the Nation.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     require the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct, not later 
     than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a 
     business case analysis of the decision to maintain 10 C-130J 
     aircraft at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     the Secretary of the Air Force in April 2015 in response to 
     as required by section 138 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), included information on the 
     business case for maintaining 10 C-130J aircraft at Keesler 
     Air Force Base, Mississippi.
     Sense of Congress regarding cyber resiliency of National 
         Guard networks and communications systems
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1097) that would 
     express a sense of Congress that the National Guard personnel 
     need to have situational awareness and reliable 
     communications in the event of an emergency, terrorist 
     attack, or natural or man-made disaster, and that the current 
     communications and networking systems for the National Guard, 
     including commercial wireless solutions, are interoperable 
     with the systems of civilian first responders.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note the importance of National Guard personnel having 
     robust situational awareness and reliable communications in 
     the event of a natural or man-made disaster that are 
     interoperable with the systems of civilian first responders. 
     In disaster situations, the National Guard serves as a 
     critical bridge linking military and civilian response 
     capabilities, and thus has the requirement to maintain a 
     broad range of communications equipment. We encourage the 
     National Guard to constantly explore ways to improve and 
     expand its communications and networking capabilities to 
     provide for enhanced performance and resilience in the face 
     of cyber attacks or disruptions, as well as other instances 
     of degradation.

     the Department of the Navy who is assigned to temporary duty 
     to perform work aboard, or dockside in direct support of, the 
     nuclear aircraft carrier that is forward deployed in Japan to 
     receive overtime pay.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec.

       The agreement includes this provision.
     Modification to temporary authorities for certain positions 
         at Department of Defense research and engineering 
         facilities (sec. 1104)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1104) that would 
     modify section 1107 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to allow for the 
     noncompetitive conversion of students that have graduated

     of the Department of Defense at 2 years. The provision would 
     also give discretionary authority to the service secretary 
     concerned to extend a probationary period of a new employee 
     of the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement contains the Senate provision with a 
     technical amendment.
       In extending the probationary period for new employees of 
     the Department of Defense (DOD), we expect the Secretary of 
     Defense to ensure that supervisors optimize the additional 
     probationary time by educating supervisors on the importance 
     of tracking when an individual's probationary period is 
     ending and directing the supervisor to make an affirmative 
     decision or otherwise take appropriate action. The Secretary 
     should take steps to ensure DOD supervisors are aware of the 
     range of tools and guidance available through the Office of 
     Personnel Management, including on-line and in-person 
     training and guidebooks. We note that the probationary period 
     extension will be beneficial only if an agency has effective 
     performance management practices in place and uses the extra 
     time for the purpose intended. We expect the Secretary of 
     Defense to assess the adequacy of leadership training 
     provided to supervisors in DOD components and Defense 
     agencies in order to ensure supervisors obtain the skills 
     needed to effectively conduct performance management 
     responsibilities.
     Delay of periodic step increase for civilian employees of the 
         Department of Defense based upon unacceptable performance 
         (sec. 1106)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1102) that 
     would provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority to 
     require satisfactory performance by civilian employees in 
     order to qualify for periodic step increases based on that 
     service.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     United States Cyber Command workforce (sec. 1107)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1104) that 
     would provide enhanced hiring and retention authorities to 
     the Secretary of Defense for civilians on the staff of the 
     United States Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and the elements of 
     the CYBERCOM components of the Armed Forces. These enhanced 
     authorities are modeled after the personnel authorities in 
     title 10 provided for the staff of the intelligence 
     components of the Department of Defense.

[[Page H8002]]

     These authorities are also similar to those that Congress 
     provided in 2014 for the cyber workforce at the Department of 
     Homeland Security. The provision also would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to provide a plan to Congress on 
     implementation of these authorities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments, 
     including an amendment that would delay the effective date of 
     the authority granted under this section until 30 days after 
     receipt of an implementation plan submitted by the Secretary 
     of Defense to the congressional defense committees.
     One-year extension of authority to waive annual limitation on 
         premium pay and aggregate limitation on pay for Federal 
         civilian employees working overseas (sec. 1108)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that 
     would authorize the head of an executive agency to waive 
     limitation on the aggregate of basic and premium pay payable 
     through calendar year 2016 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 the 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 House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program on dynamic shaping of the workforce to improve 
         the technical skills and expertise at certain Department 
         of Defense laboratories (sec. 1109)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1111) that 
     would authorize Department of Defense laboratories to conduct 
     a pilot program to use specific new authorities to improve 
     the dynamic shaping of their technical workforces, including 
     the ability to hire technical experts into flexible length 
     and renewable term appointments, exercise flexibility in 
     applying existing authorities for accessing the expertise of 
     recently retired technical personnel and offer voluntary 
     early retirement and voluntary separation incentives.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The agreement contains the Senate provision with the 
     inclusion of a few technical clarifying amendments.
       We believe that the ability of the Department of Defense 
     laboratories to be flexible in both hiring and shaping their 
     workforce is critical to maintaining a world-class research 
     workforce that can adapt over time to new and emerging areas 
     of technical need. The Senate and House Armed Services 
     Committees, in coordination with the Oversight and Government 
     Reform Committee of the House of Representatives and the 
     Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee of the 
     Senate, have been active in modifying and seeking new 
     authorities to make the Defense laboratories agile and 
     attractive places for civilian researchers and engineers.
       We believe that taking stock of the authorities granted 
     over the past 10 years and understanding their effects on 
     attracting, recruiting and retaining a skilled workforce are 
     important. Therefore, we direct the Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Research and Engineering, in coordination with 
     the military departments and laboratory directors, to brief 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives, the Oversight and Government Reform 
     Committee of the House of Representatives and the Homeland 
     Security and Government Affairs Committee of the Senate no 
     later than 90 days of the enactment of this Act. This 
     briefing should include how the military departments, the 
     laboratories, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense are 
     using these authorities, metrics for understanding the 
     effectiveness of these authorities, and any 
     recommendations for legislative or regulatory action to 
     improve the functioning of these authorities.
     Pilot program on temporary exchange of financial management 
         and acquisition personnel (sec. 1110)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1112) that 
     would authorize a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of the temporary assignment of financial 
     management and acquisition personnel to nontraditional 
     defense contractors as defined by section 2303(9) of title 
     10, United States Code, and of covered employees of such 
     contractors to the Department of Defense. Nontraditional 
     defense contractors are commercial companies who either do 
     not do business with the Department of Defense or do so 
     exclusively through commercial terms and conditions. This 
     authority would expire on September 30, 2019.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 
     authority permissive rather than mandatory and would modify 
     the terms and conditions of participation in the pilot 
     program by the private-sector employees.
       We believe that any exchange of government personnel with 
     industry designed to improve skills and knowledge of finance 
     and acquisition should be with those types of firms that do 
     not traditionally do business with the Department of Defense 
     and as such may offer different business management 
     approaches to address similar problems. These firms also do 
     not pose the same potential conflict of interest concerns 
     that any exchange with a traditional defense contractor would 
     pose.
     Pilot program on enhanced pay authority for certain 
         acquisition and technology positions in the Department of 
         Defense (sec. 1111)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1113) that 
     would authorize a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of using a higher-level pay authority to attract 
     and retain high-quality acquisition and technology experts in 
     positions responsible for management and developing complex, 
     high-cost, technological acquisition efforts of the 
     Department of Defense. We are concerned that in some cases 
     the Department of Defense cannot competitively compensate the 
     senior-level government program managers and engineers 
     required for the government to oversee major defense 
     acquisition programs. This provision would allow, in select 
     cases, for the Department of Defense to pay a higher rate of 
     compensation to recruit and retain senior acquisition 
     officials who are exceptionally well qualified. These 
     officials would be limited to a 5-year term. This authority 
     would expire on October 1, 2020.
       The House bill contained no similar amendment.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program on direct hire authority for veteran technical 
         experts into the defense acquisition workforce (sec. 
         1112)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1114) that 
     would authorize a 5-year pilot program for the service 
     acquisition executives of each military department to 
     directly appoint qualified veteran candidates for scientific, 
     technical, engineering, and mathematics positions in the 
     defense acquisition activities. This direct hire authority 
     would be limited to no more than 1 percent of the total 
     number of positions in the acquisition workforce in each 
     military department that are filled as of the close of the 
     previous fiscal year.
       The House bill contained no similar amendment.
       The House recedes.
       We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on the use of this 
     authority no later than 2 years after the date of enactment 
     of the Act.
     Direct hire authority for technical experts into the defense 
         acquisition workforce (sec. 1113)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1115) that 
     would authorize the service secretaries of each military 
     department to directly appoint qualified candidates 
     possessing a scientific or engineering degree to positions in 
     the defense acquisition activities. This direct hire 
     authority would be limited to no more than 5 percent of the 
     total number of scientific and engineering positions in the 
     acquisition workforce in each military department that are 
     filled as of the close of the previous fiscal year. This 
     authority would expire December 31, 2020.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Authority to provide additional allowances and benefits for 
         Defense Clandestine Service employees
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that would 
     grant the Secretary of Defense the authority to provide 
     additional allowances and benefits for Defense Clandestine 
     Service employees.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Preference eligibility for members of reserve components of 
         the Armed Forces appointed to competitive service; 
         clarification of appeal rights
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that would 
     create a hiring preference for certain members of the reserve 
     components of the Armed Forces for the competitive service 
     and would clarify the appeals rights of individuals hired 
     under section 3330a of title 5, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

             Title XII--Matters Relating to Foreign Nations

     One-year extension of logistical support for coalition forces 
         supporting certain United States military operations 
         (sec. 1201)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that would 
     amend section 1234 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as most recently 
     amended by section 1223 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), by authorizing 
     the Secretary of Defense to provide supplies, services, 
     transportation, and other logistical support to coalition 
     forces supporting U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan 
     during fiscal year 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     Strategic framework for Department of Defense security 
         cooperation (sec. 1202)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State, to develop a strategic framework for 
     Department of Defense security cooperation to guide 
     prioritization of resources and activities. This section 
     would also require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
     with the Secretary of State, to submit a report on the 
     strategic framework for security cooperation to the 
     congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
     of the House of Representatives, not later than 90 days after 
     enactment of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
     clarifying changes and require the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit the required report not later than 180 days after 
     enactment of this Act.
     Redesignation, modification, and extension of National Guard 
         State Partnership Program (sec. 1203)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1203) that would 
     amend section 1205 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) by modifying and 
     extending the authorization for the National Guard State 
     Partnership Program (SPP) by 2 years, would require the Chief 
     of the National Guard Bureau to establish and submit a list 
     of core competencies to support SPP activities to the 
     Secretary of Defense for approval, and would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish a fund to administer and 
     execute the funds authorized and appropriated for SPP.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1204) that would amend section 1205 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 114-66) to 
     provide for the extension of the Department of Defense (DOD) 
     State Partnership Program and direct the Under Secretary of 
     Defense (Comptroller) and Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) 
     to conduct an advisability and feasibility study as to 
     whether a central fund should be created to support the 
     activities associated with the State Partnership Program.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     clarifying changes, would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a legislative proposal if it is found to be advisable 
     and feasible to establish a central fund for the program, and 
     would extend the underlying authority for the program for 5 
     years.
       We encourage DOD to consider if it would be useful to 
     establish a list of core competencies of the National Guard 
     to be used to better educate security assistance officers and 
     countries participating in the State Partnership Program 
     about the capabilities that can be brought to bear by the 
     Guard. The Secretary should inform the Armed Services 
     Committees of the House of Representative and the Senate if 
     such a step is considered to be useful.
     Extension of authority for non-reciprocal exchanges of 
         defense personnel between the United States and foreign 
         countries (sec. 1204)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1204) that would 
     amend section 1207(f) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) by extending the 
     authorization for non-reciprocal exchanges of defense 
     personnel between the United States and foreign countries 
     through December 31, 2017.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority through December 31, 2021.
     Monitoring and evaluation of overseas humanitarian, disaster, 
         and civic aid programs of the Department of Defense (sec. 
         1205)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1205) that would 
     allow up to 5 percent of the amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated by this act for sections 401, 402, 404, 407, 
     2557, and 2561 of title 10, United States Code be used to 
     conduct monitoring and evaluation of these programs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       We further note that the briefing shall include a 
     description of how the Department of Defense evaluates 
     program and project outcomes and impact, including cost 
     effectiveness and extent to which programs meet designated 
     goals.
     One-year extension of funding limitations for authority to 
         build the capacity of foreign security forces (sec. 1206)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1201) that 
     would extend for 1 year the funding limitations for the 
     Department of Defense to build the capacity of foreign 
     security forces under section 2282, title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provisions.
       The House recedes.
     Authority to provide support to national military forces of 
         allied countries for counterterrorism operations in 
         Africa (sec. 1207)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1205) that 
     would authorize through September 30, 2018, the Secretary of 
     Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to 
     provide, on a non-reimbursable basis, logistic support, 
     supplies, and services to the national military forces of an 
     allied country conducting counterterrorism operations in 
     Africa if the Secretary of Defense determines that the 
     provision of such support is (1) in the national security 
     interests of the United States; and (2) critical to the 
     timely and effective participation of such national military 
     forces in such operations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that, in this section, the term allied country' has 
     the meaning given to that term in section 2350c of title 10, 
     United States Code.
     Reports on training of foreign military intelligence units 
         provided by the Department of Defense (sec. 1208)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec 1206) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide 
     intelligence training to foreign military intelligence units 
     to increase partner capacity.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to provide semi-
     annual reports to the congressional defense committees on the 
     military intelligence training performed by Department of 
     Defense of foreign military intelligence personnel and the 
     authorities under which such activities are conducted.
       We believe that the current matrix of capacity building 
     authorities may not sufficiently cover sustained intelligence 
     training for foreign military forces for purposes other than 
     counterterrorism operations and stability operations with 
     whom the United States partners or may need to partner in the 
     future. Based on the reports and any potential gaps in 
     authorities, we will evaluate whether further authorities 
     should be included in the 2017 authorizing legislation.
     Prohibition on assistance to entities in Yemen controlled by 
         the Houthi movement (sec. 1209)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1207) that 
     would prohibit assistance to an entity in Yemen controlled by 
     members of the Houthi movement unless the Secretary of 
     Defense determines the provision of such assistance is 
     important to the national security interests of the United 
     States.
       The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment requiring the Secretary 
     of Defense to submit a notification to certain congressional 
     committees should the national security exception be 
     exercised.


        subtitle b--matters relating to afghanistan and pakistan

     Extension and modification of Commanders' Emergency Response 
         Program (sec. 1211)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that would 
     amend section 1201 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as most recently 
     amended by section 1221 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), by extending 
     for 1 year the Commanders' Emergency Response Program (CERP) 
     in Afghanistan and authorizing $5.0 million for fiscal year 
     2016.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1222) that would make up to $10.0 million available during 
     fiscal year 2016 for CERP in Afghanistan, and would authorize 
     certain payments to redress injury and loss in Iraq.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit 
     amounts available during Fiscal Year 2016 to not exceed $5.0 
     million, require the Secretary of Defense to submit revised 
     guidance to take into account the modifications to CERP made 
     by this provision and would allow the Secretary to begin 
     payments to redress injury and loss in Iraq 30 days after the 
     submission of a report related to the conditions for which 
     payment would be made and the manner in which claims for 
     payments shall be verified.
     Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of 
         certain coalition nations for support provided to United 
         States military operations (sec. 1212)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that would 
     extend the authority for reimbursement of coalition nations 
     for support provided to the U.S. for military operations in 
     Afghanistan through fiscal year 2016 and would authorize $1.3 
     billion. Of the $1.0 billion in reimbursement authorized for 
     Pakistan during fiscal year 2016, $400.0 million would not be 
     eligible for a waiver unless the Secretary of Defense 
     certifies that Pakistan is conducting military operations 
     against the Haqqani Network and is actively coordinating with 
     the Government of Afghanistan to restrict the movement of 
     militants along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1224) that would extend the authority to make Coalition 
     Support Fund (CSF) payments to reimburse certain nations for 
     support provided to U.S. military operations in Afghanistan 
     and would authorize to $1.2 billion, of which $900.0 million 
     would be provided to Pakistan. Of the $900.0 million, $100.0 
     million would be authorized for a pilot program.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     $1.2 billion and would

[[Page H8004]]

     limit the authorization for reimbursement to Pakistan to 
     $900.0 million. Of the $900.0 million, $350.0 million would 
     not be eligible for a waiver unless the Secretary of Defense 
     certifies that Pakistan has met certain conditions. An 
     additional $100.0 million of CSF would be made available for 
     Pakistan for direct assistance for a pilot program for 
     stability activities undertaken in the Federally Administered 
     Tribal Areas, including the provision of funds to the 
     Pakistan military and the Pakistan Frontier Corps Khyber 
     Pakhtunkhwa.
       We encourage the continuation of military operations 
     undertaken by the Pakistan Military in the Federally 
     Administered Tribal Area but note the need for further action 
     against terrorist organizations such as the Haqqani Network.
     Additional matter in semiannual report on enhancing security 
         and stability in Afghanistan (sec. 1213)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that would 
     state the sense of Congress that the President's decision to 
     maintain 9,800 U.S. troops through 2015 is appropriate, that 
     the President should withdraw U.S. troops only on a pace that 
     is consistent with the ability of the Afghan National 
     Security Forces to sustain itself and secure Afghanistan, and 
     that the U.S. President should review maintaining the U.S. 
     advisory mission beyond 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1221) that would require a certification by the President to 
     the congressional defense committees that the reduction of 
     U.S. forces in Afghanistan will result in an acceptable level 
     of risk to U.S. national security objectives.
       The House recedes with an amendment that adds an assessment 
     of risks associated with the drawdown of U.S. forces to the 
     semiannual report required by section 1225 of the Carl Levin 
     and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
     Extension of authority to acquire products and services 
         produced in countries along a major route of supply to 
         Afghanistan (sec. 1214)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1214) that would 
     extend section 801 of the National Defense Authorization Act

     services that are from one or more countries along a major 
     route of supply to Afghanistan or providing a preference for 
     such a product or service, under certain circumstances.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     827) that would extend by 1 year the authority in section 
     801(f) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84).
       The House recedes.
     Extension of authority to transfer defense articles and 
         provide defense services to the military and security 
         forces of Afghanistan (sec. 1215)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1215) that would 
     extend section 1222 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239), as amended by 
     section 1231 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), for 1 year and would 
     extend the quarterly reporting requirement through March 31,

     translators or interpreters and those who have performed 
     sensitive and trusted activities for U.S. Armed Forces.

     would modify the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa program to

     status should be assessed at regular intervals by the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives taking into account the scope of the current 
     and planned presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and would 
     make technical amendments.

             SUBTITLE C--MATTERS RELATING TO SYRIA AND IRAQ

     Extension of authority to support operations and activities

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) that would 
     extend the authority for the Office of Security Cooperation 
     in Iraq (OSC-I) for 1 year. This authority would allow the 
     Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary 
     of State, to authorize OSC-I to conduct training activities 
     in support of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and Counter 
     Terrorism Service personnel at a base or facility of the 
     Government of Iraq. This section would limit the total 
     authorized funding for operations and activities for OSC-I to 
     $143.0 million in fiscal year 2016 and would require the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State to submit a 
     report assessing how OSC-I integrates into Operation Inherent 
     Resolve in Iraq.

     East and would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees a comprehensive strategy 
     for the Middle East.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the

     congressional committees a strategy for the Middle East and 
     to counter violent extremism.
     Modification of authority to provide assistance to counter 
         the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (sec. 1223)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that would 
     authorize $715.0 million in fiscal year 2016 for assistance 
     to the military and security forces associated with the 
     Government of Iraq, of which not less than 25 percent of such 
     funds would be obligated to such groups as Kurdish and tribal 
     security forces with a national security mission. This 
     section would require an assessment by the Secretary of 
     Defense and Secretary of State of the conditions of the 
     Government of Iraq relating to political inclusiveness, 
     minority integration, and efforts to address grievances of 
     ethnic and sectarian minorities. If the assessment is not 
     submitted or Iraq has not substantially achieved the 
     conditions contained in the assessment, the Secretaries would 
     be required to withhold the provision of assistance pursuant 
     to the ``Iraq Train and Equip Authority'' under section 1236 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-291) and 60 percent of such assistance 
     would go directly to certain groups.
       The Senate amendment contained provisions (sec. 1225, 1229, 
     1271) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days 
     if the Secretary determines that equipment provided by the 
     United States to Iraq has been transferred to or acquired by 
     a violent extremist organization and would add an additional 
     element to the quarterly report under the Iraq Train and 
     Equip authority to include a list of units restricted from 
     receiving assistance under that authority as a result of 
     vetting.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of Congress that: (1) the Islamic State of Iraq and the 
     Levant poses an acute threat to the people and territorial 
     integrity of Iraq (ISIL), (2) defeating ISIL is critical to 
     maintaining a unified Iraq, and (3) the United States in 
     coordination with coalition partners should provide security 
     assistance in an expeditious and responsive manner to the 
     national security forces associated with the Government of 
     Iraq including Kurdish and tribal security forces or other 
     security forces with a national security mission. The 
     amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretary of State to jointly submit an assessment, to 
     certain congressional committees on the extent to which the 
     Government of Iraq is increasing political inclusiveness, 
     addressing grievances of ethnic and sectarian minorities, and 
     enhancing minority integration in the political and military 
     structures in Iraq. Taking into account such an assessment, 
     in the event the President determines that the Government of 
     Iraq has failed to take substantial action to: (1) increase 
     political inclusiveness, (2) address the grievances of ethnic 
     and sectarian minorities, and (3) enhance minority 
     integration in the political and military structures in Iraq; 
     the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary 
     of State, would be authorized to provide, in coordination to 
     the extent practicable with the Government of Iraq, 
     assistance pursuant to the Iraq Train and Equip authority 
     directly to the Kurdish Peshmerga, Sunni tribal security 
     forces, or other local security forces with a national 
     security mission for the purpose of supporting international 
     coalition efforts against ISIL. We note that local security 
     forces with a national security mission may include, in 
     addition to Sunni tribal elements, local security forces that 
     are committed to protecting highly vulnerable ethnic and 
     religious minority communities, such as Yazidi, Christian, 
     Assyrian and Turkoman communities, against the ISIL threat. 
     Additionally, this section would prohibit assistance pursuant 
     to the Iraq Train and Equip authority from being provided to 
     the Government of Iraq unless the Secretary of Defense 
     certifies that the Government of Iraq has taken actions as 
     may be reasonably

[[Page H8005]]

     necessary to safeguard against such assistance being 
     transferred to, or acquired by violent extremist 
     organizations, including designated Foreign Terrorist 
     Organizations (FTOs) or an organization that is known to be 
     under the command and control of, or is associated with the 
     Government of Iran.

         Operation Inherent Resolve (sec. 1224)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1224) that would 
     express the sense of the Congress that Operation Inherent 
     Resolve and the force protection and combat search and rescue 
     requirements be continuously evaluated, and would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the U.S. Armed Forces deployed in 
     support of OIR.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     report to the congressional defense committees, not later 
     than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and 
     every 90 days thereafter, on United States Armed Forces 
     deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

     million for the Syria Train and Equip Fund, $25.8 million for 
     costs that would be incurred by the Army for such program, 
     and $42.8 million for costs that would be incurred by the Air 
     Force for such program.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1208) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on 
     the military support the Secretary considers necessary to 
     provide to recipients of assistance upon their return to 
     Syria.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would: (1) 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on what 
     support is determined to be necessary to provide recipients 
     of assistance upon their return to Syria; (2) modify 
     quarterly reporting matters; and (3) require certain

     authorize $300.0 million in assistance on a reimbursement 
     basis to enhance and support the efforts of Jordan's Armed 
     Forces to sustain security along its border with Syria and 
     Iraq.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1202) that would authorize assistance to Jordan and Lebanon 
     in any fiscal year through fiscal year 2020 for the purposes 
     of sustaining security along their borders with Syria and/or 
     Iraq. Regarding assistance to the Government of Lebanon, the 
     provision would prohibit reimbursement of Hezbollah or any 
     forces other than the armed forces of Lebanon.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
     available to Jordan and Lebanon funds not to exceed $150.0 
     million for each country in any 1 fiscal year for 
     reimbursement from amounts authorized pursuant to section 
     1233 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 
     year 2008 (P.L. 110-181) and section 1534 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2015 (P.L. 113-
     291), the Counterterrorism Partnership Fund, and would make 
     other clarifying modifications.

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expresses 
     the sense of Congress that Iran continues to conduct malign 
     activities and sponsorship of terrorism, and that the United

     architecture, build partner capacity to respond to external 
     aggression, and increase interoperability with regional

     Russian Federation has begun steps to return to full 
     compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) 
     Treaty, including by agreeing to inspections and verification 
     measures necessary to achieve high confidence that any

     any agreements entered into during such meeting, and whether 
     any such agreement will result in a modification to the 
     aircraft or sensors that will be subject to the Open Skies 
     Treaty.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     three similar provisions and limit the availability of 
     funds made available for fiscal year 2016 for arms control 
     implementation (PE 0305145F) to not more than 75 percent 
     until the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State, submits a report to Congress 
     describing any meetings of the Open Skies Consultative 
     Commission during the prior year, a description of any 
     agreements entered into during such meetings, and a

     Department of Defense to implement any action or policy that 
     recognizes the de facto sovereignty of Russia over Crimea, or 
     any country whose central government has taken steps to 
     recognize or support Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea. 
     The provision included a waiver if the Secretary of Defense 
     certifies and reports that doing so would be in the national 
     security interest of the United States.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical and clarifying 
     amendment.
     Limitation on military contact and cooperation between the 
         United States and the Russian Federation (sec. 1246)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1248) that would 
     prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise 
     made available for fiscal year 2016 to be used for bilateral 
     military-to-military contact or cooperation between the 
     United States and the Russian Federation without certain 
     certifications by the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
     with the Secretary of State, or unless certain waiver 
     conditions are met.
       The Senate bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical and clarifying 
     amendment.
     Limitation on funds for implementation on the New START 
         Treaty (sec. 1247)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1249) that would 
     limit all authorized funds that would be used for 
     implementation of the New START Treaty until the President 
     certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that 
     the armed forces of the Russian Federation are no longer 
     illegally occupying Ukrainian territory; the Russian 
     Federation is respecting the sovereignty of all Ukrainian 
     territory; the Russian Federation is no longer taking actions 
     that are inconsistent with the INF Treaty; the Russian 
     Federation is in compliance with the Conventional Forces in 
     Europe (CFE) Treaty and has lifted its suspension of Russian 
     observance of its treaty obligations; and there have been no 
     inconsistencies by the Russian Federation with the New START 
     Treaty requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that changes the 
     limitation to a reporting requirement on the reasons 
     continued implementation of the New START treaty is in the 
     national security interests of the United States, for any 
     year in which the New START Treaty is in effect and the 
     following conditions apply (and steps taken to remedy the 
     conditions), the Russian Federation (i) continues to occupy 
     Ukraine territory, (ii) disrespects the sovereignty of 
     Ukraine territory, (iii) is not in fully compliance with the 
     Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty, (iv) is not in compliance 
     with the CFE Treaty and has not lifted is suspension of 
     observing the Treaty, and (v) is not reducing it deployed 
     strategic delivery vehicles, which are under the central 
     limits of the New START Treaty. We are concerned about the 
     impact of Russia increasing its number of deployed strategic 
     delivery vehicles, but notes that this increase is occurring 
     within the legally-binding New START Treaty caps.
     Additional matters in annual report on military and security 
         developments involving the Russian Federation (sec. 1248)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1255) that 
     would add a reporting requirement to section 1245 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
     (Public Law 113-291) requiring an assessment of the force 
     structure and capabilities of Russian military forces 
     stationed in the Arctic region, Kaliningrad, and Crimea, as 
     well as an assessment of the Russian military strategy in the 
     Arctic region.
       The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would create an 
     additional element to require a description of the testing, 
     production, deployment, and sale or transfer of the Club-K 
     cruise missile system by the Russian Federation.
     Report on alternative capabilities to procure and sustain 
         nonstandard rotary wing aircraft historically procured 
         through Rosoboronexport (sec. 1249)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1256) that 
     would require an independent assessment on the feasibility 
     and advisability of using alternative industrial base 
     capabilities to procure and sustain nonstandard rotary wing 
     aircraft historically acquired through the Russian state 
     corporation Rosoboronexport as well as an analysis of 
     alterations that may be required for waivers of foreign 
     military sales requirements and procedures for approval of 
     airworthiness certificates associated with such alternative 
     capabilities.
       The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments.
       We direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics, not later than 180 days after date 
     of the enactment of this Act and in consultation with

[[Page H8007]]

     the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide an 
     interim brief to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     House of Representatives and the Senate on the initial 
     findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the independent 
     assessment required by this section.
     Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (sec. 1250)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1532) that would 
     authorize $200.0 million for the Secretary of Defense, in 
     concurrence with the Secretary of State, to provide 
     assistance and sustainment to the military and national 
     security forces of Ukraine. This assistance would include the 
     explicit authority to provide lethal weapons of a defensive 
     nature to the security forces of Ukraine.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1251) that would authorize $300.0 million for the Secretary 
     of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to 
     provide security assistance and intelligence support to 
     military and other security forces of Ukraine.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
     $50.0 million of the funds authorized to be available only 
     for lethal assistance and counterartillery radars unless the 
     Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary 
     of State, certifies that use of such funds for lethal 
     assistance is not in the U.S. national security interest. If 
     the certification is made, such funds could be used for 
     assistance or support to Partnership for Peace (PfP) nations, 
     or for exercises and training for the security forces of PfP 
     nations or the Government of Ukraine to assist in preserving 
     their sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian 
     aggression.
       We emphasize the importance of providing support to the 
     Government of Ukraine in defending itself against actions by 
     Russia and Russian-backed separatists that continue to 
     violate ceasefire agreements. We note the success of current 
     training of Ukrainian security forces by U.S. forces and 
     encourage expansion of such training efforts as provided for 
     in this section. We further note the growing threat to the 
     sovereignty and territorial integrity of other nations in the 
     region and stress the importance of assisting such nations in 
     developing the capability to defend against Russian 
     aggression.
     Training for Eastern European national military forces in the 
         course of multilateral exercises (sec. 1251)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1252) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide 
     multilateral or regional training, and pay the incremental 
     expenses of participating in such training, for the national 
     military forces of countries in Eastern Europe that are a 
     signatory to the Partnership for Peace Framework Documents 
     but not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) or that became a NATO member after January 1, 1999.
       The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical and clarifying amendment 
     that further refines the types of training authorized under 
     this section to training provided in the course of the 
     conduct of a multilateral exercise in which the U.S. Armed 
     Forces are a participant and that is comparable to or 
     complementary of training the U.S. Armed Forces receive in 
     the course of such multilateral exercises. Training 
     authorized under this section would be for certain specified 
     purposes, including enhancing the interoperability of the 
     trained forces to be able to participate in NATO or coalition 
     operations, or to increase the capacity of those forces to 
     respond to external threats or hybrid warfare.


        SUBTITLE F--MATTERS RELATING TO THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION

     Strategy to promote United States interests in the Indo-Asia-
         Pacific region (sec. 1261)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1253) that would 
     require the President to develop an overall strategy to 
     promote U.S. interests in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region and to 
     provide policy directives and priority goals to relevant U.S. 
     Government departments and agencies.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1265) that would require the report to be completed within 
     120 days of enactment.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delay the 
     date the strategy is due to March 1, 2017.
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that 
     would express the sense of the Congress to reaffirm the 
     importance of the rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region. In 
     order to maintain the credibility of the U.S. policy to 
     rebalance towards the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater, we believe 
     it is vital that the United States continue to shift forces 
     to the region to strengthen the ability of the United States 
     Armed Forces to project power to shape the choices of 
     regional states. Any reduction or failure to adequately 
     resource U.S. force structure in the U.S. Pacific Command 
     would diminish the rebalance policy.
       The House bill included a number of provisions that would 
     express the sense of the Congress regarding the various 
     contributions of different allies and partner nations (sec. 
     1251, sec. 1252, sec. 1254, sec. 1255, and sec. 1272).
       We note the 70th Anniversary of the end of Allied military 
     engagement in the Pacific theater, marking the end of the 
     Second World War and join with a grateful nation in 
     expressing respect and appreciation to the members of the 
     U.S. Armed Forces who served in the Pacific theater during 
     the Second World War.
       Further, we believe any long-term strategy for the Indo-
     Asia-Pacific region must include continued engagement with 
     allies and partners in the region.
       The United States values its alliance with the Government 
     of Japan as a cornerstone of peace and security in the 
     region. The United States welcomes Japan's decision to 
     contribute more proactively to regional and global peace and 
     security. Furthermore, we note that the Senkaku Islands are 
     under the administrative control of Japan. We oppose any 
     unilateral actions by a third party that would seek to 
     undermine such administration, and remain committed under the 
     Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to respond to any 
     armed attack in the territories under the administration of 
     Japan. Finally, we acknowledge the significant and 
     unprecedented financial contributions the Government of Japan 
     has made to facilitate U.S. military access in both Japan and 
     Guam.
       We also note that the alliance between the United States 
     and the Republic of Korea has served as an anchor for 
     stability, security, and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula, 
     in the Asia-Pacific region, and around the world. The United 
     States and the Republic of Korea should continue further 
     cooperation by strengthening the combined defense posture on 
     the Korean Peninsula and enhancing mutual security based on 
     the Republic of Korea-United States Mutual Defense Treaty. We 
     support the vision of a Korean Peninsula free of nuclear 
     weapons, free from the fear of war, and peacefully reunited 
     on the basis of democratic and free market principles. 
     Finally, we acknowledge the significant financial 
     contributions the Republic of Korea has made to facilitate 
     U.S. military access on the Korean Peninsula.
       We note that United States has an upgraded, strategic-plus 
     relationship with India based on regional cooperation, space 
     science cooperation, and defense cooperation. We believe that 
     the defense relationship between the United States and the 
     Republic of India is strengthened by the common commitment of 
     both countries to liberal democracy should continue to 
     expand. Further, we welcome the role of the Republic of India 
     in providing security and stability in the Indo-Pacific 
     region and beyond, and we support the implementation of the 
     United States-India Defense Framework Agreement and the India 
     Defense Trade and Technology Initiative (DTTI).
     Requirement to submit Department of Defense policy regarding 
         foreign disclosure or technology release of Aegis Ashore 
         capability to Japan (sec. 1262)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that a decision by the 
     Government of Japan to purchase Aegis Ashore for its self-
     defense could create a significant opportunity for promoting 
     interoperability and integration of air- and missile defense 
     capability with close allies, could provide for force 
     multiplication benefits, and could potentially alleviate 
     force posture requirements on multi-mission assets. This 
     provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit to the appropriate congressional committees, a copy of 
     the Department of Defense policy regarding foreign disclosure 
     or technology release of Aegis Ashore capability to allies, 
     including Japan, that possess sea-based Aegis weapons system-
     equipped naval vessels.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     references to other allies and would edit the title of the 
     provision to directly reference the Government of Japan.
     South China Sea Initiative (sec. 1263)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1261) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with 
     the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide 
     assistance and training for the purposes of increasing 
     maritime security and the maritime domain awareness of 
     foreign countries in the South China Sea. The provision 
     would authorize $50.0 million from amounts authorized to 
     be appropriated for the Department of Defense Operation 
     and Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) account for fiscal 
     year 2016, with increases in funding levels in subsequent 
     fiscal years, to provide assistance to the recipient 
     countries, which include Indonesia, Malaysia, the 
     Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The provision would 
     require that the Secretary of Defense provide prior 
     notification to the congressional defense committees not 
     later than 15 days before exercising this authority.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     $50.0 million from amounts authorized to be appropriated for 
     the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2016 only and, if 
     the Secretary uses these funds to provide assistance and 
     training under this authority during the first half-year of 
     fiscal year 2016, the Secretary must submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on the account or accounts 
     that were used to provide the funds. The authority to provide 
     assistance and training cannot be exercised after September 
     30, 2020. We expect the Department to request additional 
     funding for the South China Sea Initiative in fiscal years 
     2017 through 2020 as part of the annual budget request.

                       SUBTITLE G--OTHER MATTERS

     Two-year extension and modification of authorization for non-
         conventional assisted recovery capabilities (sec. 1271)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1261) that would 
     extend, for 1 year, the authority of the Department of 
     Defense to continue to develop, manage, and execute a Non-
     Conventional Assisted Recovery (NAR) personnel recovery 
     program for isolated Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. 
     Government, and other designated personnel supporting U.S. 
     national interests worldwide. This section would allow the 
     Secretary of Defense to use up to $25.0 million in funds 
     authorized to be appropriated for the Department of Defense 
     for operation and maintenance for such recovery programs 
     through fiscal year 2017.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1282) that would extend the authority of the Department of 
     Defense to establish, develop, and maintain NAR capabilities 
     for 2 additional years. The provision would also designate 
     the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and 
     Low-Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) as the primary civilian 
     within DOD with programmatic and policy oversight 
     responsibilities for such activities.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary of Defense to use up to $25.0 million in funds 
     authorized for operation and maintenance for NAR.
       We note that the agreement would designate the ASD SOLIC as 
     the primary civilian within DOD with programmatic and policy 
     oversight responsibilities for such activities. Given the 
     sensitive nature of NAR activities, including the authorized 
     use of irregular forces, groups, and individuals, the 
     committee believes that ASD SOLIC is the most appropriate 
     civilian office within the Department to exercise oversight 
     of such activities and associated policies.
     Amendment to the annual report under Arms Control and 
         Disarmament Act (sec. 1272)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that would 
     amend subsection (e) of section 403 of the Arms Control and 
     Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a) and would require the 
     Director of National Intelligence to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report that details 
     each instance of inconsistent behavior by a state party of an 
     arms control treaty or related agreement to which the United 
     States is a party.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension of authorization to conduct activities to enhance 
         the capability of foreign countries to respond to 
         incidents involving weapons of mass destruction (sec. 
         1273)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1264) that would 
     extend the authority to conduct activities to enhance the 
     capability of foreign countries to respond to incidents 
     involving weapons of mass destruction from section 1204 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 
     (Public Law 11366) through September 30, 2020.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1203) that would extend the authority for the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide Weapons of Mass Destruction incident 
     response training and basic equipment to foreign first 
     responders until September 30, 2018.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority through September 30, 2019.
     Modification of authority for support of special operations 
         to combat terrorism (sec. 1274)
       The House bill contained a provision that would amend the 
     authority for support of special operations to combat 
     terrorism contained in section 1208 of the Ronald W. Reagan 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 
     (Public Law 108-375), as amended, by increasing the annual 
     cap on the authority from $75.0 million to $100.0 million.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase 
     the annual cap on the authority from $75.0 million to $85.0 
     million and would require the Secretary of Defense to notify 
     the congressional defense committees not later than 15-days 
     prior to initiating the authority.
       We direct the Secretary of Defense to notify the 
     congressional defense committees of funding changes to 
     Section 1208 programs when such a proposed increase exceeds 
     20 percent of the current approved total for that particular 
     program or $500,000, whichever amount is less.
     Limitation on availability of funds to implement the Arms 
         Trade Treaty (sec. 1275)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270) that would 
     limit the Department of Defense's ability to implement the 
     Arms Trade Treaty while also permitting the Department to 
     assist foreign governments in bringing their laws and 
     regulations to a level equal to that of the United States.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       We note that a substantively identical provision was 
     included in the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
     National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2015 
     (Public Law 113-291).
     Report on the security relationship between the United States 
         and the Republic of Cyprus (sec. 1276)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1271) that would 
     require, not later than 90 days after the enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to 
     jointly submit an assessment of the military capability of 
     Cyprus to defend against threats to its national security.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1274), requiring an assessment of the U.S.-Cyprus bilateral 
     security relationship not later than 120 days after the 
     enactment of this Act.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress on European defense and the North Atlantic 
         Treaty Organization (sec. 1277)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1280) that would 
     express the sense of the Congress that the U.S. should 
     continue to work with aspirant countries for entry into the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and work with NATO 
     members to identify current and future security threats as 
     well as ensuring sufficient funding is obligated to meet NATO 
     responsibilities.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1254) that 
     would express the sense of Congress urging the United States 
     to encourage NATO allies to meet defense budget commitments 
     made at the Wales Summit in September 2014 and to continue to 
     coordinate defense investments to improve deterrence against 
     Russian aggression and terrorist organizations as well as 
     more appropriately balancing defense spending across the 
     alliance.
       The House recedes with an amendment that expresses the 
     sense of Congress that the United States should continue 
     NATO's open-door policy for nations that share Alliance 
     values, are willing to assume the responsibilities and 
     obligations of membership, and are in a position to 
     contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area, as 
     well as encouraging continued work with aspirant countries to 
     prepare for entry into NATO.
     Briefing on the sale of certain fighter aircraft to Qatar 
         (sec. 1278)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1273) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate that the United States 
     should promptly consider the sale of fighter aircraft to the 
     Government of Qatar and requires a report describing the 
     risks and benefits as they relate to such a sale.
       The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     briefing to certain congressional committees on the risks and 
     benefits of the sale of fighter aircraft to Qatar.
     United States-Israel anti-tunnel cooperation (sec. 1279)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1267) that would

     agency of the Department of Defense to carry out this 
     section, establishes an annual limit on the amount that can 
     be provided, and requires matching contributions from the 
     Government of Israel.
       We direct the Secretary of Defense, not later than 1 year 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, to submit to 
     congressional defense committees a report that includes: (1) 
     instances of tunnels being used to attack installations of 
     the United States or allies of the United States; (2) trends 
     or developments in tunnel attacks throughout the world; (3) 
     key technologies employed by potential adversaries and 
     challenges faced when using tunnels; (4) the capabilities of 
     the Department of Defense for defending fixed or forward 
     locations from tunnel attacks; (5) the plans, including with 
     respect to funding, of the Secretary for countering threats 
     posed by tunnels.
     NATO Special Operations Headquarters (sec. 1280)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1263) that would 
     make permanent the authority for the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization Special Operations Headquarters, as first 
     authorized in section 1244(a) of the National Defense

     support for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial 
     integrity along internationally recognized borders of these 
     nations and express concern over increasingly aggressive 
     military maneuvering by Russia near or within their borders 
     or airspace. We also emphasize our support for the U.S. 
     policy of not recognizing the Russia-occupied regions of 
     Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states. 
     Additionally, we encourage the Administration to further 
     enhance defensive security cooperation with these valued

     would express the sense of Congress that the United States 
     continue to implement the rebalance of U.S. forces to the

     consistent with commitments already made by the Department of 
     Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note the matters addressed in the Senate provision are 
     addressed elsewhere in the agreement.
     Sense of Senate on Taiwan asymmetric military capabilities 
         and bilateral training activities
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1263) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate on Taiwan's asymmetric 
     military capabilities and bilateral training activities.
       The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1264) that 
     would encourage the Secretary of Defense to carry out a 
     program of exchanges of senior military officers and senior 
     officials between the United States and Taiwan to improve 
     military to military relations between the United States and 
     Taiwan.
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1257) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to invite the military 
     forces of Taiwan to participate in the Rim of the Pacific 
     Exercise if the Secretary has invited the military forces of 
     the People's Republic of China.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1263) 
     that would express the sense of the Senate on Taiwan's 
     asymmetric military capabilities and bilateral training 
     activities.
       We believe that the United States, in accordance with the 
     Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8), should continue to 
     make available to Taiwan such defense articles and services 
     as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient 
     self-defense. The United States should continue to support 
     the efforts of Taiwan to integrate innovative and asymmetric 
     capabilities to balance the growing military capabilities of 
     the People's Republic of China, including fast-attack craft, 
     coastal-defense cruise missiles, rapid-runway repair systems, 
     offensive mines, and submarines optimized for defense of the 
     Taiwan straits. With regards to training, we believe the 
     military forces of Taiwan should be permitted to participate 
     in bilateral training activities hosted by the United States 
     that increase credible deterrent capabilities of Taiwan, 
     particularly those that emphasize the defense of Taiwan 
     Island from missile attack, maritime blockade, and amphibious 
     invasion by the People's Republic of China. Toward this end, 
     we believe that Taiwan should be encouraged to participate in 
     exercises that include realistic air-to-air combat training, 
     including the exercise conducted at Eielson Air Force Base, 
     Alaska, and Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, commonly referred 
     to as ``Red Flag.''
       We recommend that the Secretary of Defense carry out a 
     program of exchanges of military officers between the United 
     States and Taiwan designed to improve military-to-military 
     relations between the United States and Taiwan. The officer 
     exchanges should include field-grade officers, particularly 
     officers with combat and specialized experience, and general 
     officers, who can provide support to Taiwan to develop and 
     improve its joint warfighting capabilities.
       We also note that section 1259A of the Fiscal Year 2015 
     National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 113-291) includes 
     the recommendation on inviting Taiwan to the humanitarian 
     assistance and disaster relief portions of multilateral 
     exercises.
     Military exchanges between senior officers and officials of 
         the United States and Taiwan
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1264) 
     authorizing the Department of Defense to conduct exchanges 
     between senior military officers and senior officials focused 
     on a variety of subjects between the United States and Taiwan 
     designed to improve military-to-military relations between 
     those two countries.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We note the matters addressed in the House provision are 
     addressed elsewhere in the agreement.

         to gender-based violence globally
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1268) that would 
     express a series of findings and a statement of policy on 
     preventing and responding to gender-based violence globally, 
     and require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     certain congressional committees on the Department of 
     Defense's implementation efforts of the U.S. Strategy to 
     Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We believe that gender-based violence undermines the 
     health, economic stability, and security of nations which, in 
     turn, has an impact on United States interests. The committee 
     notes that the United States Global Strategy on Gender-based 
     Violence Prevention and Response requires the participation 
     of the Department of Defense (DOD) in efforts to implement 
     the strategy. We encourage the continued efforts of the DOD 
     in support of the United States Global Strategy on Gender-
     based Violence Prevention and Response.
       Additionally, we direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, to provide to 
     the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives, a report on efforts to prevent and respond 
     to gender-based violence globally in support of the United 
     States' strategy, including a description of the efforts of 
     DOD in the Interagency Working Group to implement the 
     international gender-based violence prevention and response 
     strategy and an assessment of the human and financial 
     resources necessary to fulfill the purpose and duties of such 
     strategy.
     Combating crime through intelligence capabilities
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1269) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to deploy assets, 
     personnel, and resources to United States Southern Command to 
     combat transnational criminal organizations by supplying 
     sufficient intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
     capabilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that JIATF-S continues to contribute to United 
     States Southern Command's detection and monitoring and 
     countering-transnational organized crime mission. We 
     encourage the Department ensure Joint Interagency Task Force-
     South has sufficient assets, personnel, and resources to 
     fulfill its mandate.
     Sense of Congress on the defense relationship between the 
         United States and the Republic of India
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1272) that would 
     express the sense of Congress on the defense relationship 
     between the United States and the Republic of India based on 
     both countries' common interests

     and commitments to stability, security, and democracy.

     possible to evacuate United States citizens and nationals 
     from Yemen.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We encourage the President to work with international 
     partners, to the extent practicable, to protect non-
     combatants and assist in the evacuation of U.S. Citizens and 
     nationals as well as the citizens and nationals of other 
     states from Yemen.
     Report on violence and cartel activity in Mexico
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1275) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on 
     violence and cartel activity in Mexico and the impact of such 
     on United States national security.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that ongoing violence associated with transnational 
     organized crime poses a threat to the security interests of 
     Mexico and the United States. We recognize the shared 
     commitment of the United States and Mexico to combat this 
     threat and expect the Secretary of Defense to update 
     periodically the Committees Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate on the Department's security 
     cooperation activities with the Government of Mexico.
     Report on actions to ensure Qatar is preventing terrorist 
         leaders and financiers from operating in its country
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1276) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that Qatar is an important 
     partner in the region, has played a significant role in 
     fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and 
     that the United States should do everything in its power to 
     encourage Qatar to crack down on terrorist leaders and 
     financiers who are operating in its country. The provision 
     would require that, not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
     Congress a report on actions taken by the United States 
     Government to ensure that Qatar is preventing terrorist 
     leaders and financiers from operating in its country.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     authorize various transfer authorities, reporting 
     requirements, and other associated activities for the Joint 
     Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Defeat Fund during fiscal

     assist in the defeat of improvised explosive devices for 
     operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other operations 
     or military missions designated by the Secretary.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the 
     transition of the Joint IED Defeat Organization to a combat 
     support agency, require the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     plan by January 31, 2016 for the activities, functions, and 
     resources of Joint IED Defeat Organization to be fully and 
     completely transitioned to an office under the authority, 
     direction, and control of an executive agent by September 30, 
     2016. Additionally, if the full transition is not complete by 
     September 30, 2016 none of the funds in the Joint IED Defeat 
     Fund would be available to the Department of Defense after 
     September 30, 2016.
       We urge the Secretary of Defense to provide information to 
     the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives and Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for 
     any activities conducted pursuant to subsection (b).
       We understand that as of March 11, 2015, the Deputy 
     Secretary of Defense formally initiated the transition of the 
     Joint IED Defeat Organization to a new combat support agency 
     named the Joint Improvised-Threat Agency (JIDA) with the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics as the component lead. We have concerns regarding 
     this current transition and believe a new strategy and 
     implementation plan is required that would provide for a more 
     streamlined approach to integrating the roles, missions, and 
     activities of the JIDA into an existing military department, 
     rather than establishing a new combat support agency within 
     the Office of the Secretary of Defense. This would create 
     reduced overhead management costs while maintaining 
     institutional core knowledge for counter defeat and detection 
     capabilities for IEDs and other improvised threats. The 
     intent of this required new transition so not to disrupt 
     ongoing, near-term counter-IED activities in support of 
     overseas contingency operations.
     Availability of improvised explosive device defeat funds for 
         training of foreign security forces to defeat improvised 
         explosive devices (sec. 1533)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1533) that 
     would authorize up to $30.0 million of the amounts authorized 
     to be appropriated for fiscal year 2016 for the Joint 
     Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund to provide training 
     for foreign security forces to increase effectiveness in 
     defeating improvised explosive devices. The provision would 
     require training be provided only pursuant to other 
     provisions of law.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     conform the provision to a related provision concerning the 
     Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization 
     included elsewhere in this Act.

         for Operation and Maintenance (sec. 1534)

     allies and partners in Europe, in particular, and include a 
     statement of policy on efforts by the United States to 
     continue and expand initiatives to reassure allies and 
     partners and to deter aggression and intimidation by Russian, 
     in order to enhance security and stability in the region.
       The Senate amendment did not contain a similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We urge the Department of Defense to enhance efforts in 
     Europe to reassure allies and partners and deter further 
     aggression and intimidation by the Russian Government to 
     enhance security and stability in the region through: (1) 
     increased U.S. military presence, exercises, training, 
     prepositioning of equipment and infrastructure; (2) increased 
     emphasis on countering unconventional warfare methods in 
     areas such as cyber warfare, information operations, and 
     intelligence operations; and (3) increased security 
     assistance to allies and partners in Europe.

     Principal advisor on space control (sec. 1602)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1602) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to designate an 
     individual who is already a full time equivalent of the 
     Department of Defense to serve as the Principal Space Control 
     Advisor, who shall act as the principal advisor to the 
     Secretary on space control activities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment clarifying the roles 
     and responsibilities of the cross-functional team.
       We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to 
     the congressional defense committees within 180 days on the 
     roles and responsibilities for space control activities

     streamline decision making and limit bureaucracy for space 
     control within the Department; and a description of how the 
     Space Security and Defense Program will be appropriately 
     integrated and aligned in the space control activities.
     Council on Oversight of the Department of Defense 
         Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Enterprise (sec. 
         1603)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1610) that 
     would establish a council to review and be responsible for 
     the Department of Defense positioning, navigation, and timing 
     enterprise, including positioning, navigation, and timing 
     services provided to civil, commercial, scientific and 
     international users. This council would terminate 10 years 
     after the date of enactment.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     Secretaries of the military departments as ex officio members 
     of the council.
     Modification to development of space science and technology 
         strategy (sec. 1604)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1602) that would 
     modify and streamline section 2271 of title 10, U.S.C., by 
     removing specific direction on elements of the strategy, 
     coordination, and reporting requirements to Congress.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Delegation of authority regarding purchase of Global 
         Positioning System user equipment (sec. 1605)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1605) that would 
     modify section 913 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) 
     by limiting the delegation of waiver authority to a level no 
     lower than the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     secretaries of the military departments to the waiver 
     authority delegation limitation.
     Rocket propulsion system development program (sec. 1606)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would 
     amend section 1604 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' 
     McKeon

[[Page H8014]]

     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
     (Public Law 113-291) by inserting a section on streamlined 
     acquisition; a clarification that, of the funds authorized to 
     be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
     fiscal year 2016 for the rocket propulsion system required by 
     section 1604 of Public Law 113-291, the Secretary of Defense 
     would be permitted to obligate or expend such funds only for 
     the development of such rocket propulsion system, and the 
     necessary interfaces to the launch vehicle, to replace non-
     allied space launch engines by 2019 as required by such 
     section; and a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide a briefing on the streamlined acquisition approach, 
     requirements, and acquisition strategy.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1606) 
     that would amend section 1604 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     `Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to include a plan for the 
     development and fielding of a full-up engine.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     availability of funds only for the development of a rocket 
     propulsion system and the necessary interfaces to, or 
     integration of, the launch vehicle, to replace non-allied 
     space launch engines by 2019 as required by section 1604 of 
     the Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
       The amendment would specify that funds may be used for the 
     integration of a rocket propulsion system on a new or 
     existing launch vehicle. Funds may not be used to develop or 
     procure a new launch vehicle or infrastructure.
       The agreement would also direct the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to provide the congressional defense committees a 
     briefing no later than 90 days from the date of enactment on 
     a plan for the development and fielding of a full-up rocket 
     propulsion system.
     Exception to the prohibition on contracting with Russian 
         suppliers of rocket engines for the evolved expendable 
         launch vehicle program (sec. 1607)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1604) that would 
     amend section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3626; 10 U.S.C. 2271 
     note).
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1603) 
     that would amend section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3626; 10 U.S.C. 2271 
     note).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
     (Public Law 113-291) by modifying the exception to the 
     prohibition. The amendment would except contracts awarded for 
     the procurement of property or services for space launch 
     activities that includes the use of not more than a total of 
     five rocket engines designed or manufactured in the Russian 
     Federation that prior to February 1, 2014, were either fully 
     paid for by the contractor or covered by a legally binding 
     commitment of the contractor to fully pay for such rocket 
     engines. The amendment would also add an additional 
     exception which would allow contracts, not covered under 
     the other exceptions, that are awarded for the procurement 
     of property or services for space launch activities that 
     include the use of not more than a total of four 
     additional rocket engines designed or manufactured in the 
     Russian Federation. Therefore, the agreement allows for a 
     total of nine Russian rocket engines, aside from the 
     waiver authority and the existing contract number FA8811-
     13-C-0003 awarded on December 18, 2013. Of those nine 
     engines, not more than four additional rocket engines can 
     be procured from the Russian Federation as five of the 
     nine allowed under the (c)(1)(B) exception would have 
     already been fully paid for as of February 1, 2014.
       The existing exception on the placement of orders or the 
     exercise of options under the contract number FA8811-13-C-
     0003 and awarded on December 18, 2013 and the existing waiver 
     remain unchanged and unaffected.
       We believe that the continued reliance on Russian rocket 
     engines represents a significant risk to our national 
     security and that their use should be minimized to the 
     greatest extent practicable while maintaining assured access 
     to space and competition.
       Consistent with the limitations established by this 
     provision, we direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
     evaluate options for an executable backup plan for assured 
     access to space that maintains competition as feasible. We 
     expect the report to consider options in the event of a 
     national emergency including using a Delta launch vehicle, 
     relying on the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration's launch capability, acquiring or leveraging 
     space launch services provided by international partners 
     consistent with the National Space Transportation Policy, or 
     any other options that the Secretary deems feasible. The 
     report shall include identification of requirements, 
     feasibility, costs, infrastructure, security, timelines, 
     required authorities and risks and benefits associated with 
     each option considered. The Secretary shall submit the 
     results in the form of a briefing to the appropriate 
     congressional committees no later than April 15, 2016.
     Acquisition strategy for evolved expendable launch vehicle 
         program (sec. 1608)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1606) that would 
     express the sense of Congress concerning the need for an 
     updated, phased acquisition strategy and contracting plan for 
     the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program and that 
     the acquisition strategy and contracting plan should 
     eliminate the currently structured EELV launch capability 
     (ELC) arrangement after the current contractual obligations, 
     among other statements. The provision would require the 
     Secretary of the Air Force to discontinue the current ELC 
     arrangement by the latter of either the date on which the 
     Secretary determines that the obligations of the contracts 
     relating to such arrangement have been met, or by December 
     31, 2020. The provision would also require the Secretary to 
     apply consistent and appropriate standards to certified EELV 
     providers with respect to certified cost and pricing data, 
     and audits, in accordance with section 2306a of title 10, 
     United States Code; would require the Secretary to develop 
     and carry out a 10-year acquisition strategy for the EELV 
     program, in accordance with section 2273 of title 10, United 
     States Code, and other elements of the provision; would 
     require any contract for launch services to account for the 
     value of the ELC arrangement per contract line item numbers 
     in the bid price of the offeror as appropriate per launch; 
     and would require a report on the acquisition strategy.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1604) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from awarding a 
     contract, renewing a contract, or maintaining a separate 
     contract line item for the procurement of property or 
     services for space launch capabilities under the Evolved 
     Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program. The provision would 
     allow for the Secretary to waive the requirement if the 
     Secretary determines that: (1) awarding or renewing, or 
     maintaining a separate contract line item for launch 
     capabilities is necessary for the national security interests 
     of the United States and the contract or contract line item 
     does not support space launch activities using rocket engines 
     designed or manufactured in the Russian Federation; and (2) 
     failing to award or renew such a contract or maintain such a 
     contract line item would have significant consequences to 
     national security and result in the significant loss of life 
     or property or economic harm. The provision would not apply 
     to the placement of orders or the exercise of options under 
     the contract numbered FA8811-13-C-003 and awarded on December 
     18, 2013. That exception would expire on September 30, 2019.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     sense of Congress language; revise the date for discontinuing 
     the current ELC arrangement to not later than December 31, 
     2019 for existing contracts using rocket engines designed or 
     manufactured in the Russian Federation and not later than 
     December 31, 2020 for existing contracts using domestic 
     rocket engines; and clarify language concerning the 
     acquisition strategy required.
     Allocation of funding for evolved expendable launch vehicle 
         program (sec. 1609)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605) that 
     would realign the cost share of the Evolved Expendable Launch 
     Vehicle (EELV) Launch Capabilities (ELC) between the Air 
     Force and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The 
     provision would require, for fiscal years 2017, 2018, or 
     2019, that the Air Force request for ELC funding bear the 
     same ratio to the total number of Air Force cores to be 
     procured under the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Launch 
     Services (ELS).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Director of the Office of Management and Budget to submit a 
     certification with the budgets for fiscal years 2017, 2018, 
     and 2019 that the cost share between the Air Force and the 
     National Reconnaissance Office for the evolved expendable 
     launch vehicle launch capability program equitably reflects 
     the appropriate allocation of funding for the Air Force and 
     the National Reconnaissance Office, respectively, based on 
     the launch schedule and national mission forecast. The 
     amendment would also require sufficient rationale to justify 
     such cost share.
     Procurement of wideband satellite communications (sec. 1610)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1607) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to designate a senior 
     Department of Defense official to procure wideband satellite 
     communications, both military and commercial, to meet the 
     requirements of the Department. Additionally, this section 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees, a plan to meet the 
     requirements of the Department for satellite communications, 
     including identification of roles and responsibilities, no 
     later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1609) that would require the Department of Defense Executive 
     Agent for Space to submit by January 31, 2016 a plan to the 
     congressional defense committees for consolidating the 
     acquisition of commercial satellite communications 
     (COMSATCOM) services from across the Department of Defense 
     into a program office in

[[Page H8015]]

     the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. The plan 
     would require consolidation to take place within a 3-year 
     period. It would also require an assessment of the current 
     management and overhead costs, a projection of the 
     consolidated management and overhead costs, and an estimate 
     of the cost of consolidation. The provision would require the 
     Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to review 
     and validate each of the estimates.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a plan for the consolidation 
     of the acquisition of wideband satellite communications. The 
     amendment would require the Secretary to identify and 
     designate a single acquisition agent and implementation of 
     the consolidation plan. The amendment would also allow the 
     Secretary to forgo implementation if the Secretary determines 
     that the implementation will require significant additional 
     funding or is not in the interests of national security.
     Analysis of alternatives for wide-band communications (sec. 
         1611)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1611) that 
     would require an analysis of alternatives for the replacement 
     of the Wideband Global Satellite System with a report due to 
     the congressional defense committees by March 31, 2017. The 
     analysis required shall take into account future bandwidth of 
     space, air, and ground communications systems.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modification of pilot program for acquisition of commercial 
         satellite communication services (sec. 1612)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1609) that would 
     modify an existing pilot program for acquisition of 
     commercial satellite communications services by removing the 
     requirement to use the working capital fund and authorize 
     multiple methods or pathfinder efforts to be used within the 
     pilot program. Additionally, the Secretary would have to 
     establish metrics to track the progress of meeting the 
     objectives of the program and provide annual briefings on the 
     progress of the pilot program, concurrent with the submission 
     of the budget request in each year from fiscal year 2017 
     through fiscal year 2020.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1612) that would direct the Department of Defense to seek to 
     achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in communications 
     capability as a goal of pilot programs for commercial 
     satellite communications.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct the pilot program, remove the 
     requirement to use the working capital fund for the pilot 
     program and authorize multiple methods or pathfinder efforts 
     to be used within the pilot program. The amendment would also 
     direct the Department to seek to achieve order-of-magnitude 
     improvements in communications capability as a goal of pilot 
     programs for commercial satellite communications. We believe 
     that Department of Defense should use this program to explore 
     new and innovative ways to acquire commercial satellite 
     communications for the benefit of the warfighter and the 
     taxpayers. This should include new activities to meet the 
     goals established in the pilot program while also leveraging 
     the Department's pathfinder efforts.
     Integrated policy to deter adversaries in space (sec. 1613)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that would 
     state a sense of Congress regarding space defense, as 
     outlined in the National Space Policy of 2010.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1601) that would require the President to establish an 
     interagency process to develop a policy to deter adversaries 
     in space. This integrated deterrence policy would be 
     developed with the objectives of (1) reducing risks to the 
     United States and its allies in space; and (2) protecting and 
     preserving the rights, access, capabilities, use, and freedom 
     of action of the United States in space and the right of the 
     United States to respond to an attack in space and, if 
     necessary, deny adversaries the use of space capabilities 
     hostile to the national interests of the United States. The 
     provision would require the President to provide a report 
     setting forth the deterrence policy and the answers to 
     Enclosure 1, regarding offensive space control policy, of the 
     classified annex to this Act, to the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the House of Representatives within 180 days of the date of 
     enactment. If the report required and the answers to 
     Enclosure 1 are not provided within 180 days of the date of 
     enactment, the provision would prohibit, until provided, the 
     obligation or expenditure of $10.0 million of the amounts 
     authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available to 
     the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2016 to provide 
     support services to the Executive Office of the President.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Prohibition on reliance on China and Russia for space-based 
         weather data (sec. 1614)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1610) that would 
     prohibit reliance on space-based weather data from 
     the Government of the People's Republic of China or the 
     Government of the Russian Federation, and would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to certify that the Department of 
     Defense does not rely on, or in the future does not plan 
     to rely on, space-based weather data for national security 
     purposes, that is provided by the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China, the Government of the Russian 
     Federation, or an entity owned or controlled by the 
     Government of China or the Government of Russia.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Limitation on availability of funds for weather satellite 
         follow-on system (sec. 1615)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1608) that would 
     limit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
     otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the weather 
     satellite follow-on system until the Secretary of Defense 
     provides a briefing to the congressional defense committees 
     on a plan to address the requirements of the Department of 
     Defense for cloud characterization and theater weather 
     imagery, and that such plan will not negatively affect the 
     commanders of the combatant commands and will meet the 
     requirements of the Department for cloud characterization and 
     theater weather imagery.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     limitation of funds from a full limitation to a limitation on 
     half of the funds.
       We are aware and supportive of the efforts to reassess the 
     appropriate portions of the analysis of alternatives (AoA) 
     for space-based environmental monitoring in consideration of 
     the changes that have occurred since the original AoA that 
     was completed.
     Limitations on availability of funds for the Defense 
         Meteorological Satellite program (sec. 1616)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1607) that 
     would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated 
     in fiscal year 2016 and any unobligated funds made available 
     for appropriation in fiscal year 2015 for the Defense 
     Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) or the launch of 
     Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellite #20 (DMSP-
     20) until the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff jointly certify to the congressional 
     defense committees that: (1) relying on civil and 
     international contributions to meet space-based environmental 
     monitoring requirements is insufficient or is a risk to 
     national security and launching DMSP-20 will meet those 
     requirements; (2) launching DMSP-20 is the most affordable 
     solution to meeting requirements validated by the Joint 
     Requirements Oversight Council; and (3) nonmaterial solutions 
     within the Department of Defense, the National Oceanic and 
     Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), or National Aeronautics 
     and Space Administration (NASA) are incapable of providing a 
     solution for cloud characterization and theater weather 
     requirements as validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight 
     Council.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that reduces the fence 
     in fiscal year 2015 to half of any unobligated funds made 
     available for appropriation and clarifies the elements of the 
     certification.
     Streamline commercial space launch activities (sec. 1617)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1613) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation 
     with the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the commercial 
     space sector, and the heads of other executive agencies as 
     appropriate to report annually on actions taken to remove 
     duplication and minimize inconsistencies across the federal 
     government for commercial space launch requirements and 
     approval. The report shall be submitted to the congressional 
     defense committees, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science 
     and Transportation and the House Committee on Science, Space 
     and Technology.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment that would add 
     the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure as a 
     recipient of the required reports. We note the importance of 
     efforts to eliminate duplicative requirements and approvals 
     to streamline commercial space launch activities.
     Plan on full integration and exploitation of overhead 
         persistent infrared capability (sec. 1618)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1612) that would 
     require the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command and the 
     Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation jointly 
     submit to the appropriate congressional committees a plan for 
     the integration of overhead persistent infrared (OPIR) 
     capabilities to support specified mission capabilities of the 
     Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Options for rapid space reconstitution (sec. 1619)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1613) that would 
     state the sense of Congress regarding rapid reconstitution of 
     critical

[[Page H8016]]

     space capabilities. It would also direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to evaluate options for the use of current assets of 
     the Department of Defense for the purpose of rapid 
     reconstitution of critical space-based warfighter enabling 
     capabilities and provide a briefing to the congressional 
     defense committees not later than March 31, 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     sense of Congress.
     Evaluation of exploitation of space-based infrared system 
         against additional threats (sec. 1620)

         facilities for intelligence collection or for special 
         operations abroad (sec. 1632)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1622) that would 
     modify section 2682(c) of title 10, United States Code, 
     regarding facilities for intelligence collection and for 
     special operations abroad to include a notification 
     requirement for the Secretary of Defense to specified 
     congressional committees and sunset the waiver authority of 
     the Secretary of Defense on December 31, 2017.

     the Secretary of Defense establishes the policy required by 
     section 922 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66). Section 922 required 
     the Secretary to develop a written policy by June 24, 2014, 
     governing the internal coordination and prioritization of 
     intelligence priorities of the Office of the Secretary of

     the elements of the Intelligence Community that are within 
     the Department of Defense are adequate to satisfy the 
     national intelligence needs of the Department, as required by 
     section 102A(p) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 
     U.S.C. 3024(p)). The report would specifically include a 
     description of how the Director incorporates the needs of the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the commanders of 
     the unified and specified commands into the metrics used to 
     evaluate the performance of the elements of the Intelligence 
     Community that are within the Department of Defense in 
     conducting intelligence activities funded under the National 
     Intelligence Program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on management of certain programs of Defense 
         intelligence elements (sec. 1636)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1629) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to 
     review the Science and Technology Research and Foreign 
     Material Exploitation work being conducted by the 
     intelligence elements of the Department of Defense and 
     recommend any changes and realignment of organizations that 
     should take place.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We continue to have concerns about the activities of the 
     Intelligence Systems Support Office which was transferred 
     from the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Intelligence to the Air Force in fiscal year 2015 and 
     believes that there are significant synergies and potential 
     savings to be gained through consolidation of these 
     activities with other intelligence elements of the Department 
     of Defense. The committees are also concerned about the 
     Foreign Material Exploitation activities which were 
     transferred in fiscal year 2015 as well and believe that 
     these elements could also be consolidated with organizations 
     elsewhere in the Defense Intelligence Enterprise.
     Report on Air National Guard contributions to the RQ-4 Global 
         Hawk mission (sec. 1637)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1621) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force, in coordination 
     with the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Chief of the 
     National Guard Bureau, to submit, not later than 180 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, a report to Congress 
     on the feasibility of using the Air National Guard in 
     association with the Active-Duty Air Force to operate and 
     maintain the RQ-4 Global Hawk aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Government Accountability Office review of intelligence input 
         to the defense acquisition process (sec. 1638)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1630) that would 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to carry 
     out a comprehensive review of the processes and procedures 
     for the integration of intelligence into the Department of 
     Defense acquisition process. The review would include the 
     integration of intelligence on foreign capabilities into the 
     acquisition process from initial requirement through 
     deployment, including staffing and training of intelligence 
     personnel assigned to the program offices, as well as the 
     procedures for identifying opportunities for weapon systems 
     to collect intelligence, and accounting for the support 
     requirements the weapon systems will place on the Defense 
     Intelligence Enterprise once fielded.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We believe it is important to ensure that the Department is 
     taking into consideration

[[Page H8017]]

     both intelligence assessments of potential adversaries, as 
     well as the exquisite intelligence required to make new 
     weapon systems work to their fullest potential.


                 SUBTITLE C--CYBERSPACE-RELATED MATTERS

     Codification and addition of liability protections relating 
         to reporting on cyber incidents or penetrations of 
         networks and information systems of certain contractors 
         (sec. 1641)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1641) that would 
     amend section 941 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) as a new section 
     393 of title 10, United States Code, and also amend section 
     391 of such title, to provide for liability protection for 
     covered contractors reporting cyber incidents to the 
     Department of Defense through these two statutorily required 
     mechanisms.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Authorization of military cyber operations (sec. 1642)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1631) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to develop, prepare, 
     coordinate, and (when authorized by the President to do so) 
     to conduct a military cyber operation in response to 
     malicious cyber activity carried out against the United 
     States or a United States person by a foreign power (as 
     defined in section 101 of the Foreign Intelligence 
     Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1801)).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     the authority to conduct cyber operations shall be exercised 
     when appropriately authorized.
       We note that nothing in this provision shall be construed 
     to limit existing presidential or congressional power to 
     authorize action.
     Limitation on availability of funds pending the submittal of 
         integrated policy to deter adversaries in cyberspace 
         (sec. 1643)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1633) that 
     would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of $10.0 million 
     of the unobligated balance of the amounts appropriated or 
     otherwise made available to the Department of Defense to 
     provide support services to the Executive Office of the 
     President, until the President submits to the congressional 
     defense committees the integrated policy to deter adversaries 
     in cyberspace required by section 941 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       We note that section 941 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (127 Stat. 837; Public 
     Law 113-66), required the President to establish an 
     interagency process to provide for the development of an 
     integrated policy to deter adversaries in cyberspace. The 
     provision required the President, not later than 270 days 
     after the date of enactment, which occurred on December 26, 
     2013, to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     report setting forth that integrated policy to deter 
     adversaries in cyberspace. The report required has not been 
     provided. We believe that an integrated policy to deter 
     adversaries in cyberspace is essential to ensuring the 
     national security of the United States and countering the 
     cyber threats posed by our adversaries. We remain concerned 
     that the failure to establish a well-articulated strategy for 
     deterring potential adversaries from conducting cyber 
     attacks, emboldens our adversaries and increases the 
     likelihood of cyber attacks in the near future.
     Authorization for procurement of relocatable Sensitive 
         Compartmented Information Facility (sec. 1644)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1634) that

     procurement of a relocatable Sensitive Compartmented 
     Information Facility (SCIF) for the Cyber Center of 
     Excellence at Fort Gordon, Georgia.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Designation of military department entity responsible for 
         acquisition of critical cyber capabilities (sec. 1645)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1631) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to designate within 90 
     days of the date of enactment an entity of the Department of 
     Defense (DOD) to be responsible for the acquisition of 
     critical cyber capabilities to include: (1) the unified 
     platform, (2) a persistent cyber training environment, and 
     (3) a cyber situational awareness and battle management 
     system.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     the Secretary of Defense shall designate an entity within a 
     military department to be responsible for the critical cyber 
     capabilities identified in the provision.
     Assessment of capabilities of United States Cyber Command to 
         defend the United States from cyber attack (sec. 1646)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1636) that 
     would require the Principal Cyber Advisor (PCA) to sponsor an 
     independent panel to assess the ability of the National 
     Mission Forces of the U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) to 
     reliably prevent or block large-scale attacks on the United 
     States by foreign powers with capabilities comparable to 
     those of countries like China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia 
     in the 2020 and 2025 timeframes.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement for an independent assessment.
     Evaluation of cyber vulnerabilities of major weapon systems 
         of the Department of Defense (sec. 1647)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1635) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to evaluate the cyber 
     vulnerabilities of every major Department of Defense weapons 
     system by not later than December 31, 2019.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     updates to the congressional defense committees on activities 
     undertaken in the evaluation of major weapon systems occur as 
     part of the quarterly cyber operations briefings required 
     under section 484 of title 10, United States Code.
     Comprehensive plan and biennial exercises on responding to 
         cyber attacks (sec. 1648)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1637) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct national-
     level cyber exercises not less frequently than once every 2 
     years for a period of 6 years. In preparing and executing 
     these exercises, the Secretary would be required to 
     coordinate with the Secretary of Homeland Security, the 
     Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the FBI, 
     and the heads of the critical infrastructure sector-specific 
     agencies designated under Presidential Policy Directive 21. 
     The Secretary also would be required to consult with 
     governors of the States and the owners and operators of 
     critical infrastructure. The exercises would be based on 
     scenarios in which critical infrastructure is attacked 
     through cyberspace and the President directs the Secretary to 
     defend the Nation and to provide support to civil authorities 
     in responding and recovering from the attacks.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1638) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
     comprehensive plan for the United States Cyber Command to 
     support civil authorities in responding to cyber attacks by 
     foreign powers against the United States or a United States 
     person.
       The House bill contained no similar provisions.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine both 
     Senate provisions.
       In carrying out the requirements of this section concerning 
     national-level cyber exercises, we encourage the Department 
     to coordinate activities with the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security, consistent with section 227 of the Homeland 
     Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 149), to the maximum extent 
     practicable. We believe such exercises should include 
     opportunities to address the full spectrum of cyber defense 
     and mitigation capabilities available to the Federal 
     Government, and when appropriate should leverage existing 
     National Cyber Exercise programs, such as the Department of 
     Homeland Security Biennial Cyber Storm Program.
     Sense of Congress on reviewing and considering findings and 
         recommendations of Council of Governors on cyber 
         capabilities of the Armed Forces (sec. 1649)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1639) that 
     would express that it is the sense of Congress that the 
     Secretary of Defense should review and consider any findings 
     and recommendations of the Council of Governors pertaining to 
     cyber mission force requirements and any proposed reductions 
     in and synchronization of the cyber capabilities of active or 
     reserve components of the Armed Forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.


                       SUBTITLE D--NUCLEAR FORCES

     Assessment of threats to national leadership command, 
         control, and communications system (sec. 1651)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1652) that would 
     require the Council on Oversight of the National Leadership 
     Command, Control, and Communications System to collect and 
     assess all reports and assessments conducted by the 
     Intelligence Community regarding foreign threats, including 
     cyber threats, to the command, control, and communications 
     system for the national leadership of the United States and 
     the vulnerabilities of such system to the threats.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Organization of nuclear deterrence functions of the Air Force 
         (sec. 1652)

     require that, subject to the authority, direction, and 
     control of the Secretary of the Air Force, the Chief of Staff 
     of the Air Force shall be responsible for overseeing the 
     safety, security, effectiveness, and

[[Page H8018]]

     credibility of the nuclear deterrence mission of the Air 
     Force. This section would also require that, by March 1, 
     2016, the Chief of Staff designate a Deputy Chief of Staff to 
     carry out the following duties: (1) provide direction, 
     guidance, integration, and advocacy regarding the nuclear 
     deterrence mission; (2) conduct monitoring and oversight 
     activities regarding the safety, security, reliability, 
     effectiveness, and credibility of the nuclear deterrence 
     mission; and (3) conduct periodic comprehensive assessments 
     of all aspects of the nuclear deterrence mission and provide 
     such assessments to the Secretary and the Chief of Staff. 
     This section would also require that, by March 30, 2016, the 
     Secretary shall consolidate, to the extent the Secretary 
     determines appropriate, under a major command commanded by a 
     single general officer, the responsibility, authority, 
     accountability, and resources for carrying out the nuclear 
     deterrence mission. The major command would be made 
     responsible, to the extent the Secretary determines 
     appropriate, for carrying out all elements and activities 
     related to nuclear deterrence, including nuclear weapons, 
     nuclear weapon delivery systems, and the nuclear command, 
     control, and communication system. The activities would 
     include planning and execution of modernization programs; 
     procurement and acquisition; research, development, test, and 
     evaluation; sustainment; operations; training; safety and 
     security; research, education, and applied science relating 
     to nuclear deterrence and assurance; and such other functions 
     of the nuclear deterrence mission as the Secretary determines 
     appropriate.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1641) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to designate a 
     senior acquisition official responsible for ensuring the 
     procurement and integration of Air Force Nuclear, Command and 
     Control (NC3) Systems.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
     requirement that the Chief of Staff of the Air Force be 
     responsible for overseeing the safety, security, 
     effectiveness, and credibility of the nuclear deterrence 
     mission of the Air Force as well as requiring the designation 
     of a Deputy Chief of Staff to carry out the duties as listed 
     in section 1651 of the House bill. The amendment contains a 
     sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Air Force should 
     consolidate, to the extent the Secretary determines 
     appropriate, under a major command commanded by a single 
     general officer the responsibility, authority, 
     accountability, and resources for carrying out all aspects of 
     the nuclear deterrence mission of the Air Force and that this 
     should be memorialized through a series of enduring 
     directives and orders. The amendment further requires the 
     Secretary of the Air Force to submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report no later than February 28, 2016 
     on what actions have been taken or are planned to 
     reorganize, streamline, and clarify responsibilities, 
     authorities, accountability, and resources within the Air 
     Force for the nuclear deterrence mission. This report must 
     include what guidance, directives, and orders have been or 
     will be issued to institutionalize these changes.

     of certain commercially available parts for intercontinental 
     ballistic missile fuzes, notwithstanding section 1502(a) of 
     title 31, United States Code, under contracts entered into 
     under section 1645(a) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1645).
       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for de-alerting 
         intercontinental ballistic missiles (sec. 1654)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1657) that 
     included a sense of Congress on the responsiveness and alert 
     levels of intercontinental ballistic missiles and would 
     prohibit authorized funds for reducing, or preparing to 
     reduce, the responsiveness or alert level of United States 
     intercontinental ballistic missiles.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     sense of Congress and include a clarification that the 
     prohibition does not apply to reductions carried out to 
     comply with the New START treaty as long as such reductions 
     are in compliance with Section 1644 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
     Assessment of global nuclear environment (sec. 1655)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1643) that 
     would direct the Department of Defense Director of Net 
     Assessment, in coordination with the Commander of U.S. 
     Strategic Command, to conduct an assessment of the global 
     security environment with respect to nuclear weapons and the 
     role of United States nuclear forces, policy, and strategy in 
     that environment. Not later than November 15, 2016, the 
     Director of Net Assessment shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report on its findings. The assessment 
     should include experts outside the Department of Defense with 
     particular emphasis on those individuals and independent 
     institutions with demonstrated expertise in strategy and net 
     assessment methodology.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     findings and adjust the time period covered by the assessment 
     to be 10 to 20 years.

     briefing to the congressional defense committees.
     Sense of Congress on organization of Navy for nuclear 
         deterrence mission (sec. 1659)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1656) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the safety, security, 
     reliability, and credibility of the nuclear deterrent of the 
     United States is a vital national security priority and that 
     nuclear weapons require special consideration because of the 
     political and military importance of the weapons. This 
     provision also expresses that the Navy has repeatedly 
     demonstrated its commitment to and prioritization of the 
     nuclear deterrence mission of the Navy and has put an 
     emphasis on ensuring its nuclear weapons are safe, secure, 
     reliable, and credible both ashore and at sea.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress on the nuclear force improvement program of 
         the Air Force (sec. 1660)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1647) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate that the Air Force 
     should regularly inform Congress on the progress being made 
     under the nuclear force improvement program and its efforts 
     to strengthen the nuclear enterprise and make Congress aware 
     of any additional actions that should be taken to optimize 
     performance of the nuclear mission of the Air Force and 
     maximize the strength of the United States strategic 
     deterrent.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     sense of the Senate to a sense of the Congress and make 
     technical and clarifying changes.
     Senses of Congress on importance of cooperation and 
         collaboration between United States and United Kingdom on

     express the sense of Congress that co-operation and 
     collaboration under the 1958 Mutual Defense Agreement and the 
     1963 Polaris Sales Agreement are fundamental elements of the 
     security of the United States and the United Kingdom, as well 
     as international stability. Additionally, the recent renewal 
     of these agreements are critical to sustaining and enhancing

       The House recedes with an amendment that would transform 
     the provision into a Sense of Congress with a reporting 
     requirement.
     Sense of Congress on policy on the nuclear triad (sec. 1664)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1646) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that retaining all three 
     legs of the nuclear triad is the highest priority mission of 
     the Department of Defense and will best maintain strategic 
     stability at a reasonable cost, while hedging against 
     potential technical problems and vulnerabilities. The 
     provision states that it is the policy of the United States 
     to sustain and modernize or replace the triad of strategic 
     nuclear delivery systems and that it is the policy of the 
     United States to operate, sustain, and modernize or replace a

     compared to the costs associated with procuring a new ground-
     based strategic deterrent.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment changing the 
     submission of the report from ``Congress'' to ``congressional 
     defense committees.''


         SUBTITLE E--MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS AND OTHER MATTERS

     Prohibitions on providing certain missile defense information 
         to Russian Federation (sec. 1671)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1661) that would 
     prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated for 
     the Department of Defense to provide the Russian Federation 
     with ``hit-to-kill'' technology and telemetry data for 
     missile defense interceptors or target vehicles and 
     information relating to the velocity at burnout of missile 
     defense interceptors or targets of the United States. This 
     provision would also provide the President with a single use 
     waiver to provide Russia with information regarding ballistic 
     missile early warning in the event the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, and 
     the Commander of U.S. European Command jointly certify to the 
     President and the congressional defense committees that the 
     provision of such information is required because of a 
     failure of the early warning system of Russia. The provision 
     would allow the prohibitions to expire on January 1, 2031.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1659) that would amend Section 1246(c)(2) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 
     113-66; 127 Stat. 923), as amended by Section 1243(2)(A) of 
     the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 
     128 Stat. 3564) to extend the limitation on providing certain 
     sensitive missile defense information to the Russian 
     Federation through fiscal year 2017.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that removes the 
     President's single use waiver, clarifies that the provision 
     does not prohibit the United States from providing early 
     warning data to the Russian Federation, and allows the 
     provision to expire on January 1, 2017.
     Prohibition on integration of missile defense systems of 
         Russian Federation into missile defense systems of United 
         States (sec. 1672)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1663) that would 
     prohibit the use of any authorized funds by this Act for 
     fiscal years 2016 through 2031 for the Department of Defense 
     or for the contributions of the United States to the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to integrate a missile 
     defense system of the Russian Federation into any missile 
     defense system of the United States or NATO.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     the use of funds authorized for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 
     for the Department of Defense to integrate a missile defense 
     system of the Russian Federation into any missile defense 
     system of the United States.
     Prohibition on integration of missile defense systems of 
         China into missile defense systems of United States (sec. 
         1673)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1662) that would 
     prohibit any authorized funds by this Act for fiscal year 
     2016 to be obligated or expended for the integration of a 
     missile defense system of the People's Republic of China into 
     any missile defense system of the United States.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitations on availability of funds for Patriot lower tier 
         air and missile defense capability of the Army (sec. 
         1674)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1665) that would 
     provide that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
     for programs related to the Patriot lower tier air and 
     missile defense capability that depend specifically on the 
     results of the analysis of alternatives (AOA) regarding the 
     Patriot lower tier air and missile defense capability of 
     the Army, may be obligated or expended until the results 
     of the AOA are submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees.
       This section would also provide that the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics could 
     waive the application of the limitation in this section if 
     the Under Secretary determines that it is necessary to 
     prevent an unacceptable risk to mission performance of the 
     Patriot system and notifies the congressional defense 
     committees of the decision to use such waiver authority.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 
     limitation to 30 days after the submission of the AOA to the 
     congressional defense committees.
       The committees understand that the AOA will be completed by 
     August 2015, prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2016. The 
     committees do not intend to limit funding for programs or 
     technology that could support Patriot modernization 
     regardless of the options chosen based on the AOA. The 
     committees believe a modernized Patriot capability is vital 
     to a robust air and missile defense capability of the Army, 
     and that such capability is further required for the 
     protection of deployed U.S. Armed Forces and allied forces. 
     The committees are committed to the modernization of Patriot 
     and, elsewhere in this Act, recommend full funding of the 
     budget request for these activities.
     Integration and interoperability of air and missile defense 
         capabilities of the United States (sec. 1675)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1666) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics and the Vice Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff to ensure the interoperability and 
     integration of certain U.S. air and missile defense systems. 
     Additionally, it would require the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency and the Secretary of the Army to conduct at 
     least one intercept or flight test per year that demonstrates 
     interoperability and integration among the covered air and 
     missile defense capabilities, and would provide waiver 
     authority.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Integration and interoperability of allied missile defense 
         capabilities (sec. 1676)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1667) that would 
     require the Commander of U.S. European Command, the Commander 
     of U.S. Central Command, and the Commander of U.S. Pacific 
     Command to submit to the Secretary of Defense and the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff an assessment of the opportunities for 
     integration and interoperability of air and missile defense 
     capabilities of the United States with those capabilities of 
     allies of the United States, including carrying out the 
     planning, risk assessments, policy development and concept of 
     operations development necessary to assure the integration 
     and interoperability of U.S. and allied air and missile 
     defense capabilities by December 31, 2017.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar amendment.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include 
     interoperability in the title and that would make it clear 
     that such integration and interoperability should be ensured 
     to the extent that specific integration arrangements are 
     agreeable to the partner nation or among the partner nations 
     involved in those arrangements.
     Missile defense capability in Europe (sec. 1677)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1668) that would 
     ensure the Aegis Ashore site to be deployed in the Republic 
     of Poland has anti-air warfare (AAW) capability upon the site 
     achieving full operating capability. It would also require 
     that the Aegis Ashore site in Romania be retrofitted with AAW 
     capability no later than December 31, 2018. It would also 
     require the Secretary to evaluate the feasibility, benefit, 
     and cost of using the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile or the 
     Standard Missile-2 in providing the anti-air warfare 
     capability. Additionally, it would require the Secretary of 
     Defense to study no less than three sites in the U.S. 
     European Command (EUCOM) area of responsibility for the 
     deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) 
     battery; ensure that the THAAD battery is available for 
     rotational deployment to the EUCOM area of responsibility; 
     and to examine sites to pre-position such THAAD battery if 
     such pre-position is necessary for military requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1653) that would express

[[Page H8020]]

     the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the relevant combatant command, should 
     ensure that arrangements are in place, including support from 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies, to provide 
     anti-air defense capability at all NATO missile defense sites 
     in support of phases 2 and 3 of the European Phased Adaptive 
     Approach. Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report describing the plan 
     of the Secretary to provide anti-air defense capability at 
     the sites and the contributions being made by NATO to support 
     the provision of the anti-air defense capability.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would state the 
     sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
     ensure that arrangements are in place, including support from 
     other members of NATO and the host nations, to provide air 
     defense capabilities at the Aegis Ashore sites in Romania and 
     Poland by not later than June 1, 2019. The agreement would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State, to submit a request to NATO to support an 
     air defense capability at the Aegis Ashore sites in Romania 
     and Poland. The Secretary shall submit a notification to the 
     appropriate congressional committees by not later than April 
     1, 2016, as to whether NATO has agreed in principle to 
     provide such capability. Not later than 180 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report describing 
     the plan and budget profile to provide an air defense 
     capability to the Aegis Ashore sites in Romania and Poland 
     and an assessment of the air and ballistic missile threat to 
     United States military installations in Europe, including the 
     Naval Shore Facility in Devesulu, Romania and the planned 
     site in Redzikowo, Poland. We also direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to ensure, not later than 180 days after enactment, 
     that a terminal high altitude area defense battery is 
     available for rotational deployment to the area of 
     responsibility of the United States European Command unless 
     the Secretary notifies the congressional defense committees 
     that such a battery is needed in another combatant command's 
     area of responsibility. The Secretary of Defense shall also 
     implement the direction contained in the classified annex of 
     this Act bearing on this matter.
     Availability of funds for Iron Dome short-range rocket 
         defense system (sec. 1678)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1669) that would 
     make available $41.4 million for the Government of Israel to 
     procure radars for the Iron Dome short-range rocket defense 
     system, subject to the terms and conditions of the 
     ``Agreement Between the Department of Defense and the United 
     States of America and the Ministry of Defense of the State of 
     Israel Concerning Iron Dome Defense System Procurement'' and 
     an amended agreement for co-production of radar components.
       The Senate amendment included a similar amendment (sec. 
     1654) that would authorize $41.4 million for the Department 
     of Defense to provide to the Government of Israel to procure 
     the Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system, including 
     for co-production of Iron Dome parts and components in the 
     United States by United States industry. The provision 
     would also provide that these funds shall be available 
     subject to the terms and conditions in the ``Agreement 
     Between the Department of Defense and the Ministry of 
     Defense of the State of Israel Concerning Iron Dome 
     Defense System Procurement,'' signed on March 5, 2014, 
     including any negotiated amendment to that agreement for 
     co-production of Iron Dome radar components.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Israeli cooperative missile defense program co-development 
         and co-production (sec. 1679)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1670) that would 
     authorize $165.0 million for procurement and co-production of 
     the David's Sling Weapon System and the Arrow 3 Upper Tier 
     missile defense system. This provision would further specify 
     the terms and conditions that shall be achieved by the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency and the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics prior to the disbursement of the authorized funds.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1655) that would authorize $165.0 million for the Missile 
     Defense Agency to provide to the Government of Israel to 
     procure the David's Sling Weapon System and the Arrow 3 Upper 
     Tier Interceptor program, including for co-production of 
     parts and components in the United States by United States 
     industry. The funds may be disbursed after certain 
     conditions, which include a certification by the Director of 
     the Missile Defense Agency and the Under Secretary of Defense 
     for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics that in the case 
     of co-production for the David's Sling Weapon System, not 
     less than half of such co-production is carried out by United 
     States industry.
       The House recedes to the Senate with an amendment that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics to certify that the Government of 
     Israel has demonstrated the successful completion of key 
     knowledge points; that such funds will be provided on the 
     basis of a one-for-one cash match made by Israel or in 
     another mutually agreed matching amount; that the United 
     States has entered into a bilateral agreement with Israel; 
     that there is complete transparency on the requirement of 
     Israel for the number of interceptors and batteries to be 
     procured; that technical milestones are established for co-
     production; that there is a joint approval process for third 
     party sales; and that the level of co-production for the 
     David's Sling Weapon System is equal to or greater than 50 
     percent for U.S. industry. The Under Secretary may waive the 
     certification if the funds are provided to Israel solely for 
     funding the procurement of long-lead components and that the 
     long-lead procurement will be conducted in a manner that 
     maximizes co-production in the United States without 
     incurring additional non-recurring engineering activity or 
     cost. The Director of the Missile Defense Agency would also 
     be required to submit to the Congress, at the same time the 
     President submits to Congress the budget request for fiscal 
     year 2017, a plan to achieve a rate of co-production by 
     United States industry of parts and components of the David's 
     Sling Weapon System at a rate that is not less than 50 
     percent.
     Boost phase defense system (sec. 1680)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1672) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to prioritize technology 
     investments to develop and field a boost phase missile 
     defense system by fiscal year 2022 and ensure it can benefit 
     multiple warfighter requirements. It would also require the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency establish a senior 
     level advisory group to recommend to the Director promising 
     technologies that the Director can evaluate for use as a 
     boost phase missile defense layer and then provide a briefing 
     to the congressional defense committees no later than May 1, 
     2016 on the recommendations of the advisory group.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1658) that would prioritize technology investments in the 
     Department of Defense to support efforts by the Missile 
     Defense Agency (MDA) to develop and deploy a boost phase 
     airborne laser weapon system by fiscal year 2025. The 
     provision encourages collaboration and cooperation between 
     MDA and other Department of Defense components, and directs 
     the Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional defense 
     committees with a report, within 120 days of enactment of 
     this Act, of Department of Defense efforts to develop and 
     deploy a boost phase airborne laser weapon system for missile 
     defense.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prioritize 
     feasible and cost-effective efforts, would eliminate the 
     requirement for a senior level advisory group and require a 
     report on the efforts of the Department of Defense to develop 
     and deploy an airborne or other boost phase defense system by 
     fiscal year 2025. The report should also include 
     recommendations from industry on emerging technologies that 
     could be applied for boost phase missile defense, and an 
     evaluation by MDA of those recommendations. We also encourage 
     the Department of Defense to develop concept of operations 
     for those boost phase missile defense systems for which it 
     intends to develop prototypes to accompany its fiscal year 
     2017 budget request.
     Development and deployment of multiple-object kill vehicle 
         for missile defense of the United States homeland (sec. 
         1681)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1671) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the ballistic missile 
     defense of the United States homeland is the highest priority 
     of the Missile Defense Agency; that the Missile Defense 
     Agency is appropriately prioritizing the design, development, 
     and deployment of the redesigned kill vehicle; and, the 
     multiple-object kill vehicle is critical to the future of the 
     ballistic missile defense of the U.S. homeland. This section 
     would require that the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     develop a highly reliable multiple-object kill vehicle for 
     the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system, with rigorous 
     flight testing to occur no later than 2020, and the 
     deployment of such vehicle as soon as practicable thereafter. 
     This section would also require that the management of the 
     multiple-object kill vehicle program be undertaken by the 
     Deputy Director of the Missile Defense Agency and would 
     require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to provide 
     the funding profile required for the multiple-object kill 
     vehicle program to the congressional defense committees no 
     later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1656) 
     that would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     to conduct flight testing of the multi-object kill vehicle by 
     not later than 2020 and field such vehicle as soon as 
     technically practicable. The provision would also direct that 
     the management of the multi-object kill vehicle program shall 
     report directly to the Deputy Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     deployment of the multi-object kill vehicle as early as 
     practicable after rigorous flight testing is completed and 
     would require the fiscal year 2017 budget submission to 
     reflect the funding profile necessary to meet the objectives 
     of the multiple object kill vehicle program.
     Requirement to replace capability enhancement I 
         exoatmospheric kill vehicles (sec. 1682)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1657) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     ensure,

[[Page H8021]]

     to the maximum extent practicable, that all remaining ground-
     based interceptors of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense 
     system that are armed with the capability enhancement 
     I exoatmospheric kill vehicle are replaced with the 
     redesigned exoatmospheric kill vehicle before September 
     30, 2022.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Designation of preferred location of additional missile 
         defense site in the United States and plan for expediting 
         deployment time of such site (sec. 1683)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1678) that would 
     require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in 
     consultation with the Commander of the United States Northern 
     Command, to designate the preferred location in the United 
     States for the potential future deployment of a missile 
     defense site not later than 30 days after the Secretary of 
     Defense publishes the draft environmental impact statements 
     (EIS) being conducted for the candidate sites.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1651) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan for 
     expediting the deployment time for a potential future 
     continental United States interceptor site by at least 2 
     years, and submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     report on such plan not later than 30 days after the 
     transmittal of the EIS required by the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. The provision would 
     require the Comptroller General to assess the Department's 
     report on the deployment plan and submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees with findings and 
     recommendations.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in consultation with 
     the Commander of United States Northern Command, to designate 
     the preferred location in the United States for the potential 
     future deployment of a missile defense site not later than 30 
     days after the Secretary of Defense publishes the draft EIS 
     pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2013. The determination of such site should be based on 
     operational effectiveness and cost effectiveness in addition 
     to the results of the EIS. The Secretary would be permitted 
     to submit any updates to the designation that he finds 
     appropriate after the final EIS is submitted. According to 
     the Missile Defense Agency, the draft EIS is anticipated to 
     be completed and published in the Federal Register by January 
     2016 and the EIS is anticipated to be finalized between April 
     and July of 2016.
       Not later than 30 days after the Secretary of Defense 
     completes the final designation of the missile defense site, 
     the Secretary of Defense shall develop and submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a plan for expediting the 
     deployment time for a potential future continental 
     interceptor site by at least 2 years, in the case that the 
     decision is made to proceed with such deployment. Not later 
     than 90 days after the Secretary of Defense submits the plan 
     to Congress, the Comptroller General of the United States is 
     to provide its assessment of that plan. The Secretary of 
     Defense may not obligate or expend such planning and design 
     funds for military construction as are authorized in this Act 
     until such date as the final EIS is published.
     Additional missile defense sensor coverage for the protection 
         of United States homeland (sec. 1684)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1673) that would 
     require the sea-based X-band (SBX) radar to be relocated to a 
     new homeport on the East Coast of the United States no later 
     than December 31, 2020, and shall have an at-sea capability 
     of not less than 120 days per year. Prior to relocating the 
     sea-based X-band radar, the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency (MDA) would be required to certify that the relocation 
     would not impact the missile defense of Hawaii. Additionally, 
     this provision would require the Director of MDA to begin 
     siting studies, environmental impact surveys, and any other 
     appropriate studies and evaluations to base the sea-based X-
     band radar at a site on the East Coast.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1652) 
     that would require the Director of MDA, in cooperation with 
     the relevant combatant command, to deploy by not later than 
     December 31, 2020, a long-range discrimination radar or other 
     appropriate tracking and discrimination sensor capabilities 
     in a location optimized to support the defense of the 
     homeland of the United States against emerging long-range 
     ballistic missile threats from Iran.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of the Congress that additional missile defense sensor 
     discrimination capabilities are needed to enhance the 
     protection of the United States homeland against potential 
     long-range ballistic missiles from Iran. Accordingly, the 
     Director of MDA shall, in cooperation with the relevant 
     combatant command, deploy by not later than December 31, 
     2020, a long-range discrimination radar or other appropriate 
     sensor capability in a location optimized to support the 
     defense of the homeland of the United States from emerging 
     long-range ballistic missile threats from Iran. The Director 
     of MDA shall commence any siting studies and other required 
     evaluations necessary to carry out the homeport reassignment 
     of the SBX to the east coast. The Director of MDA shall 
     commence a study to evaluate at least three possible 
     additional locations, selected by the Director of MDA, 
     that would be best suited for future deployment of an 
     advanced missile defense sensor site at a location, 
     whether in the United States or not, optimized against 
     threats from Iran. In the event that the Department of 
     Defense determines to move the SBX to the east coast, such 
     a relocation may not be carried out until the date on 
     which the Director of MDA certifies to the congressional 
     defense committees that Hawaii will have adequate missile 
     defense coverage prior to any reassignment of the homeport 
     of the SBX. The Director of MDA shall include in the 
     budget request for each fiscal year until December 31, 
     2020 an update on his progress in implementing this 
     provision.
     Concept development of space-based missile defense layer 
         (sec. 1685)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1675) that would 
     require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), no 
     later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, to commence a concept definition, design, research, 
     development, and engineering evaluation of a space-based 
     ballistic missile intercept and defeat layer to the ballistic 
     missile defense system, and submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on the findings of such 
     concept development no later than 1 year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision, but 
     included language in the report accompanying its bill, that 
     would request a report from the Missile Defense Agency on the 
     need for a space-based interceptor layer, assessment of the 
     maturity of necessary technology, and an estimate of the 
     effectiveness and cost of such a space-based missile defense 
     layer.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with 
     the Director of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency 
     and the Secretary of the Air Force, to commence the concept 
     definition of a space-based ballistic missile intercept layer 
     and report its findings to the defense committees not later 
     than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act. The 
     agreement does not include the language in the original House 
     provision that would direct MDA to begin design, engineering 
     evaluations, or research and development on a space-based 
     layer. Not later than March 31, 2016, the Director of the 
     Missile Defense Agency shall provide to the congressional 
     defense committees an interim briefing on the plan described 
     in subsection (c) (2). In light of this agreement, the 
     Missile Defense Agency does not have to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees the report on a space-based 
     missile defense interceptor as directed in the Senate Report 
     114-49 accompanying the Senate bill.

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1676) that would 
     require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in 
     coordination with the chief of Naval Operations and the Chief 
     of Staff of the Army, to evaluate the role, feasibility, 
     cost, and cost benefit of additional Aegis Ashore sites and 
     upgrades to current ballistic missile defense system sensors 
     to offset capacity demands on current Aegis ships, Aegis 
     Ashore sites, and Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area 
     Defense capability and to meet the requirements of the 
     combatant commanders. Such review would be further reviewed 
     and evaluated by the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It would further require that the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the Secretary of 
     State to jointly identify any obstacles to foreign military 
     sales of Aegis Ashore or co-financing of additional Aegis 
     Ashore sites.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that includes certain 
     technical changes that would eliminate the requirement for 
     the President to enter into negotiations on host nation 
     agreements for Aegis Ashore sites. We also add direction that 
     the Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 
     include in their evaluation recommendations for potential 
     future locations of Aegis Ashore sites.
     Development of requirements to support integrated air and 
         missile defense capabilities (sec. 1687)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1677) that would 
     require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide 
     the appropriate congressional committees a briefing on the 
     military requirement for left-of-launch capability and any 
     current capability gaps in meeting such requirement.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to oversee the 
     development of warfighter requirements for persistent and 
     survivable capabilities to detect, identify, determine the 
     status, track, and support engagement of strategically 
     important mobile or relocatable assets. The requirements 
     shall be used for the purpose of informing applicable 
     acquisition programs (including those involving systems-of-
     systems required to integrate multiple inputs and outputs of 
     related left-of-launch information) and architecture planning 
     funded through the Military Intelligence Program, the 
     National Intelligence Program, and non-

[[Page H8022]]

     intelligence programs. The Vice Chairman shall also oversee 
     the development of the enabling framework for intelligence 
     support to integrated air and missile defense and, as 
     appropriate, the development of requirements for capabilities 
     to be acquired to achieve integrated operation.
     Extension of requirement for Comptroller General of the 
         United States review and assessment of missile defense 
         acquisition programs (sec. 1688)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1075) that would 
     repeal or revise reporting requirements related to missile 
     defense. These requirements include removing annual reports 
     on the Missile Defense Executive Board, and removing a 
     required report on the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1660) that 
     would amend section 232 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) and would extend 
     various reporting requirements by an additional 5 years to 
     Comptroller General of the United States reviews and 
     assessments of missile defense acquisition programs.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. We note that 
     several annual reporting requirements directed toward the 
     Missile Defense Agency have expired and urge the Department 
     to update its report database accordingly.
     Plan for medium range ballistic missile defense sensor 
         alternatives for enhanced defense of Hawaii (sec. 1689)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1674) that would 
     express the sense of Congress regarding ballistic missile 
     defense sensor and sensor discrimination capability. This 
     provision would further require the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency to conduct an evaluation of potential options 
     for fielding a medium range ballistic missile defense sensor 
     for the defense of Hawaii. Such evaluation would have to be 
     submitted to the congressional defense committees no later 
     than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     required plan to a required report on options for augmenting 
     the missile defense of Hawaii.
     Milestone A decision for the Conventional Prompt Global 
         Strike Weapons System (sec. 1690)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1673) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to make a Milestone A 
     decision for the conventional prompt global strike program no 
     later than September 30, 2020, or 8 months after the 
     successful completion of the Intermediate Range Flight 2 
     test.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would transform 
     the provision into a sense of Congress with a reporting 
     requirement. We expect the Department to include in the 
     required report whether there are any potential ambiguity 
     problems created by conventional prompt global strike 
     capability, including any involving the launch of a 
     conventionally-armed ballistic missile from a submarine 
     platform, that it is aware of as of the date of the Milestone 
     A acquisition decision, and if so, to also include in the 
     required report what specific measures he is recommending to 
     address those problems. Additionally, such report should 
     include whether there are any appropriate bilateral 
     cooperative or verification measures he recommends and the 
     timeline for decision and implementation of such measures and 
     their cost.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

                 Title XXI--Army Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included authorization of appropriations 
     of $743.3 million for military construction and $493.2 
     million for family housing for the Army for fiscal year 2016.
       The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of 
     $727.7 million for military construction and $484.3 million 
     for family housing for the Army for fiscal year 2016.
       Both the House bill and the Senate amendment cut $43.0 
     million operations center in San Antonio and the $37.0 
     million instruction building at Joint Base Meyer-Henderson 
     Hall from the President's budget request. Therefore, funding 
     was not included for these projects.
       The agreement includes funding for two access control point 
     projects at Fort Meade and $30.0 million for an Arlington 
     National Cemetery Defense Access Road project in accordance 
     with the unfunded priorities of the Army.
       The agreement reflects an increase in funding for the 
     construction of family housing at Rock Island Illinois from a 
     rebalance of housing operations per request by the Department 
     of the Army, which yields a savings of $8.9 million.

           Title XXIV--Defense Agencies Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included authorization of appropriations 
     of $2.3 billion for military construction for the defense 
     agencies and $58.7 million for family housing for the defense 
     agencies for fiscal year 2016.
       The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of 
     $2.3 billion for military construction for the defense 
     agencies and $58.7 million for family housing for the defense 
     agencies for fiscal year 2016.
       The budget request included $239.9 million for the Hospital 
     Replacement, Increment 7 at Fort Bliss, Texas. We support the 
     authorization for appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
     the ability of the military department to execute in the year 
     of the authorization for appropriations. For this project, we 
     believe that the Department of Defense has exceeded its 
     ability to fully expend the funding requested for fiscal year 
     2016. As such, the agreement recommends $189.9 million, a 
     reduction of $50.0 million, for this project.
       The budget request included $47.2 million for the SOF 
     Logistics Support Unit One Ops Fac. #2 at Naval Base 
     Coronado, California. We note that the utilities needed to 
     support this facility are not available and are not 
     programmed until fiscal year 2017. Without these utilities, 
     we note that the facility would not be complete and useable. 
     While we support the requirement for this project, and the 
     agreement includes $47.2 million for this project, we expect 
     the Department of Defense to sequence the construction of 
     this project in a manner that ensures the required supporting 
     utilities are available at the time the construction is 
     complete.
       The budget request included $10.0 million for contingency 
     construction at various world-wide locations. We note that 
     the Department of Defense has not requested a military 
     construction project using funds from this account since 
     2008. As such, the agreement recommends no funds, a reduction 
     of $10.0 million, for this program.
       In addition, we recommend an increase of funding for a 
     military construction project not included in the budget 
     request, $30.0 million for the Missile Defense Agency 
     Military Construction Planning and Design activities for an 
     East Coast site for homeland missile defense.

                     LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS ADOPTED

     list contained in this Act is intended to be the binding list 
     of the specific projects authorized at each location.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2401).

       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Authorized energy conservation projects (sec. 2402)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2402) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out energy 
     conservation projects valued at a cost greater than $3.0 
     million at the amounts authorized for each project at a 
     specific location. This section would also authorize the sum 
     total of projects across various locations, each project of 
     which is less than $3.0 million. This section would also 
     preclude the ability to set-aside operation and maintenance 
     facilities restoration and modernization funds for the 
     exclusive purpose of funding energy projects. It would 
     require installation energy projects to compete in the normal 
     process of determining installation requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2402).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Authorization of appropriations, defense agencies (sec. 2403)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2403) that would 
     authorize appropriations for defense agencies' military 
     construction at the levels identified in section 4601 of 
     division D of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2403).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       We note that the amounts associated with the following 
     projects remain available under the original project 
     authorization:
       (1) $20,800,000 (the balance of the amount authorized under 
     section 2401(b) of the Military Construction Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (division B of Public Law 112-239; 
     126 Stat. 2129) for the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System 
     Complex at Deveselu, Romania);
       (2) $141,039,000 (the balance of the amount authorized 
     under section 2401(a) of the Military Construction 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (division B of Public 
     Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1672), as amended by section 2404(a) of 
     the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2013 (division B Public Law 112-239; 126 Stat. 2131), for a 
     data center at Fort Meade, Maryland);
       (3) $50,500,000 (the balance of the amount authorized under 
     section 2401(a) of the Military Construction Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (division B of Public Law 112-81; 
     125 Stat. 1672) for an Ambulatory Care Center at Joint Base 
     Andrews, Maryland);
       (4) $54,300,000 (the balance of the amount authorized under 
     section 2401(a) of the Military Construction Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (division B of Public Law 112-81; 
     125 Stat. 1672) for an Ambulatory Care Center at Joint Base 
     San Antonio, Texas); and
       (5) $123,827,000 (the balance of the amount authorized as a 
     Military Construction, Defense-Wide project by title X of the 
     Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-32; 123 
     Stat. 1888) for a data center at Camp Williams, Utah).
       We also note that overlapping statutory authorities between 
     title 10, United States Code, and title 50, United States 
     Code, have resulted in challenges and delays in executing a 
     recent emergency military construction project. Specifically, 
     the overlap found in section 2803 of title 10, United States 
     Code, and section 3304 of title 50, United States Code, 
     resulted in a significant delay in a request for emergency 
     funds. Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
     provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees 
     and the congressional intelligence committees not later than 
     March 1, 2016, on the statutory authorities for 
     infrastructure investments that support both the Department 
     of Defense and the Intelligence Community. The briefing 
     should include a comparison of authorities found in both 
     titles for infrastructure investments, a discussion of any 
     discrepancies between the authorities, the impact that 
     identified discrepancies may have on the timely execution of 
     an infrastructure investment, and, if necessary, 
     recommendations for legislation to clarify or streamline the 
     statutory authorities to ensure the timely and effective 
     execution of an infrastructure investment.
       Furthermore, we expect supporting classified material for 
     any ongoing or future classified projects to be delivered to 
     the congressional defense committees in a more timely 
     fashion, to ensure proper oversight and consideration is 
     given to these projects.

     Government of the State of Kuwait in support of construction, 
     maintenance, and repair projects within Kuwait that are 
     mutually beneficial to the Department of Defense and the 
     Kuwait military forces. The section would also limit the 
     maximum amount the Secretary of Defense may obligate to $50.0

        SUBTITLE B--REAL PROPERTY AND FACILITIES ADMINISTRATION

     Protection of Department of Defense installations (sec. 2811)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1042) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to protect the 
     buildings, grounds, and property that are under the 
     jurisdiction, custody, or control of the Department of 
     Defense (DOD) and persons on that property. The provision 
     provides that the Secretary may designate personnel to: (1) 
     enforce federal laws and regulations for the protection of 
     persons and property; (2) carry firearms; (3) make arrests; 
     and (4) conduct investigations of offenses against the 
     property of the DOD. This new authority would not apply in 
     those locations currently under the protection of the Federal 
     Protective Service, for example, office buildings provided by 
     the General Services Administration in which DOD 
     organizations are tenants.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2811) that would 
     provide consistency across the military service academies on 
     the acceptance of a gift of real property, if the gift of 
     such real property is conditioned upon the property bearing a 
     specified name. This section would authorize the military 
     service academies to accept such a gift if the acceptance and 
     naming would not reflect unfavorably on the United States, 
     and the real property has not otherwise been named by an act 
     of Congress. This section would also require the secretaries 
     of the military departments to issue uniform regulations 
     governing circumstances under which gifts conditioned on 
     naming rights may be accepted.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would restrict 
     the ability to delegate this authority to only individuals 
     appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
     Utility systems conveyance authority (sec. 2813)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2811) that

     Code, to allow for conveyance of additional utility systems 
     to an entity already operating other utility systems on a 
     joint base if doing so would be in the best interest of the 
     government and is supported by an independent cost estimate.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       We note that there has been confusion about whether the 
     definition of a utility system for the treatment of 
     wastewater includes the treatment of stormwater. We believe, 
     consistent with the Department of Defense's interpretation, 
     that wastewater includes stormwater.
     Leasing of non-excess property of military departments and 
         Defense Agencies; treatment of value provided by local 
         education agencies and elementary and secondary schools 
         (sec. 2814)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2812) that 
     would amend section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     authorizing the secretary concerned to lease non-excess 
     property for consideration in an amount below fair market 
     value if the lease is to a local education agency or an 
     elementary or secondary school. This provision is intended to 
     help local education agencies and schools that are providing 
     support for military families.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Force-structure plan and infrastructure inventory and 
         assessment of infrastructure necessary to support the 
         force structure (sec. 2815)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2814) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report, as part 
     of the budget justification documents accompanying the 
     President's budget request for fiscal year 2017, that details 
     a 20-year force structure plan for each of the military 
     services and a comprehensive inventory of worldwide 
     infrastructure. The report would also compare these two items 
     to determine the infrastructure necessary to support the 
     force structure, discuss the categories of excess

     Relocation to Guam Account during the most recent year, as 
     well as the anticipated contributions to be made during the 
     current and next Japanese fiscal years. The report would also 
     cover the infrastructure projects carried out on Guam or the 
     Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in the previous 
     fiscal year using funds from the Support for United States 
     Relocation to Guam Account, as well as the projects

     service secretary involved approves the increase and notifies 
     the congressional defense committees of the increase and the

     a child development program facility serving children

     Sense of the Congress regarding base housing projects
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2805) that would

     Department of Defense should consider commuting times and 
     available land on base when prioritizing base housing 
     projects.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note that the Department already considers commute times 
     and available land, among other issues, when making base 
     housing decisions and encourage the Department to continue to 
     do so.
     Consultation requirement in connection with Department of 
         Defense major land acquisitions
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2812) that 
     would modify section 2664(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to require consultation by the Secretary concerned with the

     and comply with National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

     implemented.
     Modification of facility repair notification requirement

     the facility or the facility is located at an overseas 
     location that has not been designated a main operating base 
     or forward operating site. These new reporting requirements 
     would only apply to facility repair projects that are 
     expected to cost more than $1.0 million.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       We believe that, as a matter of practice, the Department of 
     Defense should notify the congressional defense committees of 
     the expenditure of significant funding for repairs at 
     overseas locations that have not been designated as a main 
     operating base or forward operating site even if such 
     expenditures do not meet the thresholds specified in section

       We note that section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, 
     provides the Secretary concerned the authority to lease non-
     excess property and that the Secretary has the ability to 
     delegate authority to approve such leases. Therefore, we 
     encourage the Secretary concerned to consider delegating 
     authority to lease non-excess property at military 
     manufacturing arsenals if the Secretary concerned believes 
     such delegation of authority would be in the best interest of 
     the Department.
     Sense of Congress on coordination of hunting, fishing, and 
         other recreational activities on military land
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2815) that

     groups prior to traditional hunting, fishing, and 
     recreational use seasons.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     through in coordinating with appropriate state and local 
     groups when opening the base for hunting, fishing, and other 
     recreational activities.

     Historic Landmark or for nomination to the World Heritage 
     List if the head of the agency managing the federal property 
     objects to such inclusion or designation for reasons of 
     national security. This section would also authorize the 
     expedited removal of federal property listed on the National 
     Register of Historic Places if the managing agency of that 
     federal property submits a request to the Secretary of 
     Interior for such removal for reasons of national security.

     1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(b)(3)(B)) through September 30, 2025. 
     This section would prohibit the Secretary of the Interior and

     3101) that would authorize a total of $12.8 billion for the 
     Department of Energy in fiscal year 2016 for the National 
     Nuclear Security Administration to carry out programs 
     necessary to national security.
       The House recedes.
     Defense environmental cleanup (sec. 3102)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3102) that would 
     authorize appropriations for defense environmental cleanup 
     activities for fiscal year 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     3102).
       The agreement includes this provision.
     Other defense activities (sec. 3103)

   SUBTITLE B--PROGRAM AUTHORIZATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND LIMITATIONS

     Improvement to accountability of Department of Energy 
         employees and projects (sec. 3111)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that would 
     amend subtitle C of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2442) to add a new section 
     requiring the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator for 
     Nuclear Security to jointly notify the specified 
     congressional committees the number of covered employees 
     whose security clearance was revoked during the previous year 
     and the length of time such employees were employed by the 
     Department of Energy or NNSA since such revocation. This 
     provision would also require that the Secretary of the 
     Administrator may not pay to a covered employee a salary 
     bonus during the one-year period beginning on the date on 
     which the Secretary of the Administrator determines that the 
     covered employee committed improper program management or 
     whose actions undermined health, safety or security, while 
     providing the authority to waive the denial of a salary 
     bonus. Additionally, the provision would require the 
     Secretary or Administrator to notify the specified 
     congressional committees of the actions being taken against 
     DOE or NNSA contractors, pursuant to contractual terms, whose 
     actions lead to project or program delays or cost-growth.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     3118) that would provide authority to the Administrator of 
     the National Nuclear Security Administration to withhold 
     bonus payments to employees who engage in improper program 
     management on the date such a determination is made.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would reference 
     the terms of exceeding cost, scope and schedule to those 
     established in section 4713 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act 
     (50 U.S.C. 2753) or the terms of critical decision three of 
     Department of Energy Order 413.3B (Program and Project 
     Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets) as well as, 
     pursuant to a requirement to issue new Departmental or 
     Administration guidance, actions that jeopardize the health, 
     safety, or security of employees or facilities of the 
     Administration or another element of the Department of Energy 
     involved in nuclear security or in carrying out defense 
     nuclear nonproliferation activities. The amendment further 
     provides for a waiver for either program management or 
     health, safety or security with notification to the 
     congressional committees of the waiver and a period of 60 
     days elapses following the notification. The amendment 
     further requires notifying the congressional defenses 
     committees if a contractor of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration exceeds cost, scope and schedule as defined by 
     section 4713 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 
     2753) or by critical decision three of Department of Energy 
     Order 413.3B (Program and Project Management for the 
     Acquisition of Capital Assets), including an explanation as 
     to whether termination of the contract is an appropriate 
     remedy, a description of the terms of the contract regarding 
     award fees and performance, and a description of what options 
     under the contract will be exercised in response. If such 
     information cannot be submitted by reason of a contract 
     enforcement action a notification shall be submitted of the 
     enforcement action and the date on which the required 
     information shall be submitted.
     Stockpile responsiveness program (sec. 3112)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3115) that would 
     amend the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2521) to 
     establish that it is the policy of the United States to 
     sustain, enhance, and continually exercise all capabilities 
     required to conceptualize, study, design, develop, engineer, 
     certify, produce, and deploy nuclear weapons to ensure the 
     nuclear deterrent of the United States remains safe, secure, 
     reliable, credible, and responsive. The Secretary of Energy, 
     acting through the Administrator for Nuclear Security and in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Defense, would be required 
     to carry out a program in parallel with the stockpile 
     stewardship program and stockpile management program to 
     fulfill this policy. This section would also stipulate a 
     series of objectives for this program. Finally, this section 
     would amend certain existing annual reporting requirements to 
     ensure robust attention on the program by senior leaders and 
     enable congressional oversight of the status and 
     effectiveness of the program.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3111) that 
     would develop a responsive capabilities program to exercise 
     the design capabilities of the weapons complex that would 
     lead to shorter and most cost effective design and 
     engineering tools and manufacturing methods for parts and 
     joint test assemblies that would lead to actual prototype 
     testing as the final exercise, similar to an ongoing effort 
     already underway at the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that adds to the House 
     provision the importance of an integrated design life cycle, 
     to shorten design, certification, and manufacturing timelines 
     in order to minimize the amount of time and costs leading to 
     an engineering prototype and production.
     Notification of cost overruns and selected acquisition 
         reports for major alteration projects (sec. 3113)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3123) that 
     defined a life extension program as one whose costs exceed 
     $1.0 billion.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that modifies section 
     4713(a) (50 U.S.C. 2753(a)) and section 4217 (50 U.S.C. 2537) 
     of the Atomic Energy Defense Act to include major alteration 
     programs whose cost exceeds $750.0 million.
     Root cause analyses for certain cost overruns (sec. 3114)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3131) that would 
     amend section 4713(c) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 
     U.S.C. 2753) to require the Secretary of Energy to conduct 
     and submit to the congressional defense committees a root 
     cause assessment when certain programs experience a 
     significant cost overrun.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Funding of Laboratory-Directed Research and Development 
         Programs (sec. 3115)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3135) that would 
     require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to seek to 
     enter into a contract with the JASON Defense Advisory Panel 
     to conduct a review of the laboratory-directed research and 
     development (LDRD) program authorized under section 4811 of 
     the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2791). The review 
     would be required to include assessments of whether and how 
     the projects within the LDRD program support the mission of 
     the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), whether 
     the science conducted under LDRD underpin the advancement of 
     scientific understanding necessary for NNSA's core programs, 
     the scientific and programmatic opportunities and challenges 
     in the LDRD program, recent significant accomplishments and 
     failures within the LDRD program, and how LDRD projects are 
     selected for funding. This section would require the 
     Administrator to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees, by November 1, 2016, a report containing the 
     review carried out by the JASON Defense Advisory Panel. This 
     House bill would also require a briefing to the congressional 
     defense committees by the Comptroller General of the United 
     States by November 1, 2016. The Comptroller General would be 
     required to assess: how NNSA LDRD funding limits compare to 
     other Department of Energy and Department of Defense 
     laboratories and federally funded research and development 
     centers; how many NNSA personnel are supported by LDRD 
     funding, including how many receive a majority of their 
     compensation from LDRD; and how many devote the majority of 
     their time to LDRD programs for more than three years.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3117) that 
     would amend section 4811(c) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act 
     (50 U.S.C. 2791(c)) to strike the 6 percent upper bound for 
     National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) weapons 
     laboratory-directed research and development programs with a 
     floor not to go below 5 percent with an upper bound of 8 
     percent. A similar provision was recommended for NNSA weapons 
     production facilities and the Nevada Site Office with a 
     ceiling of 4 percent.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     plant direct laboratory

[[Page H8031]]

     research and development programs, reduce the ceiling to 7 
     percent and require a briefing by the Administrator of the 
     National Nuclear Security Administration, no later than 
     February 28, 2016, on all recent or ongoing reviews of the 
     laboratory-directed research and development program, 
     including such reviews initiated by the Secretary of Energy; 
     the costs and accounting practices associated with 
     laboratory-directed research and development; how laboratory-
     directed research and development projects support the 
     mission of the National Nuclear Security Administration. We 
     direct the Government Accountability Office to assess no 
     later than March 15, 2016, how NNSA LDRD funding limits 
     compare to other Department of Energy and Department of 
     Defense laboratories and federally funded research and 
     development centers; how many NNSA personnel are supported by 
     LDRD funding, including how many receive a majority of their 
     compensation from LDRD; and how many devote the majority of 
     their time to LDRD programs for more than 3 years.
     Hanford waste treatment and immobilization plant contract 
         oversight (sec. 3116)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (section 3115) 
     that would require the Secretary of Energy to arrange to have 
     an owner's agent assist the Secretary in carrying out 
     oversight responsibilities associated with Hanford Waste 
     Treatment and Immobilization Plant contract DE-AC27-
     01RV14136. Since the current contractor for the Waste 
     Treatment Plant is its own design agent, the owner's design 
     agent will act as an independent expert on the project.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment with clarifying 
     language to ensure that the owner's agent does not assume 
     roles reserved for the federal government, that the owner's 
     agent's role is to advise the Secretary of Energy, and that 
     the owner's agent report would be sent to the Secretary of 
     Energy who would transmit the report with any additional 
     views to the congressional defense committees.
     Use of best practices for capital asset projects and nuclear 
         weapon life extension programs (sec. 3117)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3122) that would 
     require the Secretary of Energy to ensure that analyses of 
     alternatives are conducted in accordance with best practices 
     for: (1) capital asset projects and life extension programs 
     of the National Nuclear Security Administration; and (2) 
     capital asset projects relating to defense environmental 
     management.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Research and development of advanced naval nuclear fuel 
         system based on low-enriched uranium (sec. 3118)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3142) that would 
     require that, of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
     this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for 
     defense nuclear nonproliferation for material management and 
     minimization, not more than $5.0 million shall be made 
     available to the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors for 
     initial planning and early research and development of an 
     advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched 
     uranium. In addition, this section would require that, at the 
     same time the President submits the fiscal year 2017 budget 
     to Congress, the Secretary of Energy, and the Secretary of 
     the Navy shall jointly submit to the congressional defense 
     committees their determination as to whether the United 
     States should continue to pursue research and development of 
     an advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched 
     uranium. If the Secretaries determine to continue the 
     research and development, the Secretaries would be required 
     to ensure the budget request for fiscal year 2017 includes 
     funding to carry out the program within the defense nuclear 
     nonproliferation, material management, and minimization 
     budget line. Not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     submission of such determination, the Deputy Administrator 
     for Naval Reactors would be required to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a plan for such research and 
     development, as well as ensuring that the budget includes 
     amounts for defense nuclear nonproliferation for material 
     management and minimization necessary to carry out the plan. 
     Finally, this section would require that, if the Secretaries 
     determine such research and development should continue, not 
     later than 60 days after the date on which the Deputy 
     Administrator submits the plan, the Deputy Administrator for 
     Naval Reactors would be required to enter into a memorandum 
     of understanding with the Deputy Administrator for Defense 
     Nuclear Nonproliferation regarding the research and 
     development of an advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on 
     low-enriched uranium, including with respect to how funding 
     for such research and development will be requested for the 
     ``Defense Nuclear nonproliferation'' account for material 
     management and minimization and provided to Naval Reactors to 
     carry out the program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that requires the 
     Deputy Administrator of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration to submit within 90 days after the date of 
     enactment a conceptual plan for research and development of 
     an advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched 
     uranium to meet military requirements to the congressional 
     defense committees. In addition, 60 days after the conceptual 
     plan is submitted, the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall make a determination as to whether the 
     United States should continue to pursue research and 
     development of an advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on 
     low-enriched uranium. If the Secretaries determine that such 
     research and development should continue, they shall include 
     funding necessary in fiscal year 2018, and in fiscal year 
     2017 if feasible, to carry out such a plan in the budget line 
     item for the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation account for 
     material management and minimization.
     Disposition of weapons usable plutonium (sec. 3119)
       The House bill contained a provision (section 3119) that 
     would require the Secretary of Energy to carry out 
     construction and program support activities for the Mixed 
     Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility with any funds 
     authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for 
     such purposes for fiscal year 2016 and any prior fiscal 
     years. This section would also require the Secretary to 
     include in the budget justification materials submitted to 
     Congress for fiscal year 2017 an updated performance baseline 
     for construction and project support activities relating to 
     the MOX facility.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that authorizes the 
     Secretary to spend $5.0 million to conduct an analysis of 
     alternative options for carrying out the plutonium 
     disposition program. We direct that the analysis of 
     alternatives be comprehensive with regard to potentially 
     cost-effective alternatives, and to include as alternatives 
     various options for disposal, including costs and timelines 
     associated with options for down-blending, immobilization, 
     disposal in canisters, and deep borehole disposal. We further 
     direct that as part of the down-blending analysis, that the 
     Department of Energy address the questions pertaining to 
     down-blending as found in Senate Report 114-49 (Report to 
     Accompany S. 1376, ``National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal year 2016''), pages 326-329.
     Establishment of microlab pilot program (sec. 3120)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3136) that would 
     give the authority to the Secretary to establish a microlab 
     pilot program in close proximity to a national laboratory and 
     is accessible to the public for the purpose of enhancing 
     collaboration with regional research groups, accelerating 
     technology transfer from national laboratories to the 
     marketplace; promoting regional workforce development through 
     science, technology, engineering, and mathematics instruction 
     and training.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     definition of microlab to one that is in close proximity to 
     but outside the perimeter of a national security laboratory; 
     an extension of or affiliated with a national security 
     laboratory; and accessible to the public. The amendment also 
     narrows the national laboratory to one that is a national 
     security laboratory as defined in section 3821 of the 
     National Nuclear Security Act (50 U.S.C. 2471). The amendment 
     further uses ``consultation'' rather than ``coordination'' 
     with lab directors and adjusts timing of reports.
     Prohibition on the availability of funds for the provision of 
         defense nuclear nonproliferation assistance to the 
         Russian Federation (sec. 3121)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would 
     provide that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 
     for defense nuclear nonproliferation activities may be 
     obligated or expended to enter into a contract with, or 
     otherwise provide assistance to, the Russian Federation. The 
     Secretary of Energy, without delegation, would be provided 
     the authority to waive this prohibition if the Secretary 
     submits a report to the appropriate congressional committees 
     containing notification that such a waiver is in the national 
     security interest of the United States, a justification for 
     such waiver, and a period of 15 days elapses.
       The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for fixed site 
         radiological portal monitors in foreign countries (sec. 
         3122)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3117) that would 
     prohibit any funds authorized by this Act or otherwise made 
     available for fiscal year 2016 or any fiscal year thereafter 
     for the National Nuclear Security Administration from being 
     obligated or expended for the research and development, 
     installation, or sustainment of fixed site radiological 
     portal monitors or equipment for use in foreign countries. 
     This section would clarify that this prohibition does not 
     apply to such activities for mobile radiological inspection 
     equipment.
       The Senate amendment had no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     fiscal year 2016 funds for

[[Page H8032]]

     installation of fixed site portal monitors in foreign 
     countries after date of enactment until the DNI submits an 
     assessment on whether and the extent to which fixed site and 
     mobile radiological monitors address nuclear nonproliferation 
     and smuggling threats; the contribution of other threat 
     reduction programs and how well such programs address nuclear 
     nonproliferation and smuggling threats; which programs have 
     the greatest impact and cost-benefit for addressing nuclear 
     nonproliferation and smuggling threats; and such other 
     matters as the Director considers appropriate. The amendment 
     also requires the Administrator for Nuclear Security to 
     submit a plan by March 1, 2016 to transition sustainment of 
     existing fixed site monitors, to the greatest extent 
     possible, to host nation.
     Limitation on availability of funds for certain arms control 
         and nonproliferation technologies (sec. 3123)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120) that would 
     prohibit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the 
     National Nuclear Security Administration's Defense Nuclear 
     Nonproliferation program from being obligated or expended to 
     develop nonproliferation or arms control verification or 
     monitoring technologies beyond Technology Readiness Level 5 
     (TRL 5) unless the Secretary of Energy certifies that such 
     technologies are being developed to fulfill the rights or 
     obligations of the United States under either: (1) a current 
     arms control or nonproliferation treaty or agreement; or (2) 
     a treaty or agreement that the Secretary expects will enter 
     into force within 2 years. The Secretary would be required to 
     submit this written certification to the appropriate 
     congressional committees and include, for each technology the 
     Secretary certifies for development beyond TRL 5, an 
     identification of the amount of fiscal year 2016 funds that 
     will used and how such development helps to fulfill the 
     rights or obligations of the United States under the treaty 
     or agreement.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes to the House with an amendment that 
     would prohibit fiscal year 2016 funds to test or validate 
     technologies in the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms 
     Control designed to be used to verify and monitor obligations 
     under arms control treaties or other agreements to which U.S. 
     is not a signatory until the Administrator submits a review 
     to congressional defense committees. The review would be 
     required to include the technology readiness level of the 
     technology; the obligation under a treaty or other 
     international agreement supported by the technology; and the 
     purpose for which the technology is being developed or 
     produced. We note that, based on information provided by the 
     Administrator, the funding for the activities that would be 
     limited by this provision is approximately $3.0 million.
     Limitations on availability of funds for nuclear weapons 
         dismantlement (sec. 3124)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3121) that would 
     provide that, of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
     this Act or otherwise made available for any of fiscal years 
     2016 through 2020 for the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration (NNSA), not more than $50.0 million may be 
     obligated or expended in each such fiscal year to carry out 
     nuclear weapons dismantlement and disposition activities. 
     This section would also prohibit any funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act, or otherwise made available for any 
     of fiscal years 2016 through 2020, to be obligated or 
     expended to dismantle a nuclear weapon of the United States 
     unless: (1) the nuclear weapon was retired on or before 
     September 30, 2008; (2) the Administrator for Nuclear 
     Security certifies that the components of the nuclear weapon 
     are directly required for the purposes of a current life 
     extension program; or (3) the President certifies that the 
     nuclear weapon is being dismantled pursuant to a nuclear arms 
     reduction treaty or similar international agreement that has 
     entered into force after the date of enactment of this Act 
     and was approved with the advice and consent of the Senate or 
     by an Act of Congress. This section would also prohibit any 
     funding authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
     otherwise made available for any of fiscal years 2016 through 
     2020 from being used to dismantle or dispose of a W84 nuclear 
     weapon.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     $50.0 million ceiling to fiscal year 2016 and prohibit the 
     use of fiscal year 2016 funds for the dismantlement of the 
     W84 warhead. There is an exception for maintenance and 
     surveillance for weapons safety and reliability.

     Long-term plan for meeting national security requirements for 
         unencumbered uranium (sec. 3131)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3112) that 
     would require the Secretary of Energy to submit a plan, on 
     even number years, with the President's budget submission, 
     for meeting the national security requirements for 
     unencumbered uranium through 2065.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     reporting requirement to terminate in 2026.
     Defense nuclear nonproliferation management plan (sec. 3132)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that 
     required in each odd numbered year a management plan of 
     defense nuclear nonproliferation programs of the National 
     Nuclear Security Administration.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 3132) 
     amend section 3122(c) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by striking the 
     date of 2016 and inserting 2020. This section would also 
     amend such subsection to clarify that, in the Secretary of 
     Energy's annual assessment, the Secretary must (1) identify 
     any highly-enriched uranium around the world that is 
     obligated by the United States and (2) provide a list, by 
     country and by site, of the separated plutonium around the 
     world, identify such plutonium that is obligated by the 
     United States, and provide an assessment of the vulnerability 
     of such plutonium to theft or diversion.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     House provision to the Senate provision, expand the 
     programmatic definitions of activities of the nuclear 
     nonproliferation program that must be reported on and make 
     technical and clarifying changes.
     Plan for deactivation and decommissioning of nonoperational 
         defense nuclear facilities (sec. 3133)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3141) that would 
     require the Secretary of Energy to establish and carry out a 
     plan under which the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
     transfers to the Assistant Secretary of Energy for 
     Environmental Management the responsibility for 
     decontaminating and decommissioning facilities of the 
     National Nuclear Security Administration that the Secretary 
     of Energy determines are not operational as of the date of 
     the enactment of this Act and meet the requirements for such 
     transfer.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3114) that 
     would that would require the Secretary of Energy to develop a 
     plan that would require a cost-benefit analysis of defense 
     nuclear facilities that require deactivation and 
     decommissioning as to whether they should be kept in cold 
     shut down awaiting demolition or accelerated to save long 
     term storage costs. The plan will be required every even 
     calendar year no later than March 31, 2016 and end after the 
     fifth report submission on March 31, 2026.
       The House recedes with an amendment to require within the 
     first report the Secretary to implement a plan under which 
     the Administrator for Nuclear Security to transfer by March 
     31, 2019 to the Assistant Secretary for Environmental 
     Management the responsibility for decontaminating and 
     decommissioning facilities of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration that the Secretary of Energy determines are 
     nonoperational as of September 30, 2015 and meet the 
     requirements of the Office of Environmental Management for 
     such transfer.
     Assessment of emergency preparedness of defense nuclear 
         facilities (sec. 3134)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3116) that 
     would require the Secretary of Energy to include in each 
     award-fee evaluation conducted of a management and operating 
     contract for a Department of Energy defense nuclear facility 
     in 2016, or any even-numbered year thereafter, an assessment 
     of the adequacy of the emergency preparedness of that 
     facility, including an assessment of the seniority level of 
     employees and contractors of the Department of Energy that 
     participate in emergency preparedness exercises at that 
     facility.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     recurring reports while focusing the assessment on the 
     performance and participation of the management and operating 
     contractor employees and not senior employees of the 
     Department of Energy, since the laboratory award fee is based 
     on performance of the contractor employees. We direct the 
     Secretary of Energy to provide a report to the congressional 
     defense committees no later than October 31, 2016 on the 
     number and level of senior Department of Energy employees 
     that participated in such exercises for fiscal year 2016.
     Modifications to cost-benefit analyses for competition of 
         management and operating contracts (sec. 3135)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3114) that would 
     amend section 3121 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for fiscal year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to extend the 
     reporting requirement through fiscal year 2019 and require 
     that the report submitted by the Administrator for Nuclear 
     Security must include a description of the factors considered 
     and processes used by the Administrator to determine whether 
     to compete or extend a contract to manage and operate a 
     facility of the nuclear security enterprise, and whether and 
     which activities at the facility should be covered under the 
     management and operating contract.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     3122) that would amend section 3121 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) 
     to make technical corrections to increase the utility of 
     reports on competition for management and operating contracts 
     at facilities of the National Nuclear Security Administration 
     and change the timing of the Government Accountability 
     Office's review

[[Page H8033]]

     to assess whether estimated cost savings and other benefits 
     are actually occurring as planned.
       The House recedes with an amendment that combines the two 
     provisions, requires the Government Accountability Office to 
     provide a briefing on their initial review 180 days after the 
     required report submitted, and makes certain technical and 
     conforming amendments.
     Interagency review of applications for the transfer of United 
         States civil nuclear technology (sec. 3136)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that would 
     require that, prior to the approval by the Administrator of 
     the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) of any 
     part 810 authorization (regarding the transfer of certain 
     civil nuclear technology) for a covered country with a 
     nuclear naval propulsion program, the Director of National 
     Intelligence and the Chief of Naval Operations would have to 
     jointly submit an assessment to the appropriate congressional 
     committees on the risks of diversion of such technology and 
     the likely consequences of its diversion to such foreign 
     state's military nuclear program. This section would also 
     require that, not less than 14 days prior to the approval 
     of any part 810 authorization for a covered country, the 
     Administrator of the NNSA would have to certify to the 
     appropriate congressional committees that there is 
     sufficient diversion control and such transfer presents a 
     minimal risk of diversion of such technology to a military 
     program that would degrade the technical advantage of the 
     United States. The provision further required that not 
     later than June 1, 2016, and quinquennially thereafter, 
     the Chief of Naval Operations shall determine the critical 
     civil nuclear technologies of the United States and notify 
     the appropriate congressional committees of this list of 
     technologies. The provision also requires that not later 
     than 30 days after the date on which the Director of 
     National Intelligence determines that there is credible 
     intelligence that United States civil nuclear technology 
     has been diverted to a foreign country not covered by an 
     authorization under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act 
     of 1954 as amended (Public Law 83-703, 42 U.S.C. 2077), 
     including an agreement for cooperation made pursuant to 
     section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended 
     (Public Law 83-703, 42 U.S.C. 2153), the Director shall 
     notify the appropriate congressional committees of such 
     determination. The House provision also required that the 
     Secretary of Energy shall annually notify the appropriate 
     congressional committees that each covered foreign country 
     is in compliance with its obligations under any 
     authorization made pursuant to section 57b, including an 
     agreement for cooperation made pursuant to section 123 of 
     the Atomic Energy Act, as amended. In addition the 
     provision prohibits the Secretary of Energy from making an 
     authorization under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act 
     with respect to a covered foreign country if a foreign 
     person of the covered foreign country has been sanctioned 
     under the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation 
     Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) during the 
     5-year period preceding the date of the transfer being 
     sought unless the President certifies to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that the covered foreign country 
     is taking adequate measures to prevent, or is making 
     significant progress in preventing, transfers or 
     acquisitions covered by section 2(a) of the Iran, North 
     Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 
     50 U.S.C. 1701 note). The House provision defined a 
     covered country as one that is a nuclear-weapon state, as 
     defined by Article IX (3) of the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, signed at Washington, 
     London, and Moscow on July 1, 1968, but does not include 
     the United Kingdom or France.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that every 90 days, the Secretary of Energy shall submit to 
     the appropriate congressional committees a report that 
     includes a listing and description of the authorizations to 
     transfer United States civil nuclear technology to a covered 
     foreign country (as defined in this provision) issued under 
     section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 
     2077(b)) during the preceding 90 days and a statement of 
     whether each agency required to be consulted under that 
     section or pursuant to regulation objected or sought 
     condition to each such authorization.
       The amendment also would require that not later than 90 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 5 
     years thereafter, the Secretary of Energy would be required 
     to, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the 
     Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Defense, the Director 
     of National Intelligence, and the Nuclear Regulatory 
     Commission, determine the critical United States civil 
     nuclear technologies that should be protected from diversion 
     to a military nuclear program of a covered foreign country (a 
     nuclear weapons state as defined by the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons other than the United 
     Kingdom or France), including with respect to a naval 
     propulsion or weapons program and notify the appropriate 
     congressional committees with respect to the technologies 
     covered by the determination. The amendment also would 
     require that not later than 14 days before authorizing the 
     transfer of a technology covered by such determination, the 
     Secretary of Energy would be required to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report that includes a 
     notification of the intention of the Secretary to authorize 
     the transfer of such technology and a statement of whether 
     any agency required to be consulted under such section 57b or 
     pursuant to regulation objected to or required conditions to 
     such authorization of transfer. The amendment includes a 
     waiver of the 14 day notification for an imminent 
     radiological emergency provided within 7 days the Secretary 
     certifies such a hazard exists, the justification and the 
     information required in the original notification.
       The amendment would also require the Secretary of Energy to 
     promptly revise part 810 of title 10, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, to ensure that the Director of National 
     Intelligence (DNI) is consulted with respect to the views of 
     the intelligence community with respect to each authorization 
     issued under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 
     U.S.C. 2077(b)) for the transfer of United States civil 
     nuclear technology to a covered foreign country before the 
     determination to approve or disapprove the request for the 
     authorization, and that he is provided with an opportunity to 
     present the views of the Director and the Intelligence 
     Community on the national security risks of the transfer, 
     if any. It is expected that as part of developing this 
     consultation process the Secretary of Energy and the DNI 
     shall enter into the necessary inter-agency agreements 
     that ensure consultation with the Intelligence Community 
     occurs but gives the DNI the flexibility to manage its 
     ongoing workload, while ensuring timely reviews of 
     authorizations, and provides for the possibility that the 
     views of the Intelligence Community may not have changed 
     from its initial assessment. The Secretary of Energy shall 
     include the results of consultations conducted with the 
     DNI, on behalf of the Intelligence Community, in each 
     report describing an authorization and each notification 
     with respect to an authorization involving a critical 
     technology.
       The amendment would require the Secretary of Energy to 
     annually submit to the appropriate congressional committees a 
     report that includes an assessment of whether each covered 
     foreign country is in compliance with its obligations under 
     any authorization for the transfer of United States civil 
     nuclear technology under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act 
     of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2077(b)) and with respect to any covered 
     foreign country that is not in compliance with such 
     obligations, a description of the efforts of the United 
     States to bring the country into compliance with an 
     evaluation of the result of such efforts, and an assessment 
     of the options available to the Secretary as a result of the 
     country not being in compliance. The report also requires an 
     assessment of whether each end-user to which United States 
     civil nuclear technology is transferred pursuant to an 
     authorization under such section 57b is in compliance with 
     the obligations of the end-user under that authorization and 
     a description of any consequences for the end-user or the 
     exporter of the technology if the end-user is not in 
     compliance with such obligations.
       The amendment would further require that, concurrent with 
     the submission to Congress of the budget for each fiscal 
     year, the Secretary of Energy would be required to submit to 
     the appropriate congressional committees a report on the 
     activities of the Department of Energy associated with the 
     review of applications for authorization under section 57b to 
     transfer United States civil nuclear technology to any 
     foreign country. The report would be required to include the 
     number of applications for authorization under section 57b of 
     the Atomic Energy Act to transfer United States civil nuclear 
     technology to a foreign country submitted during the year 
     preceding the submission of the report; the length of time 
     each such application was under review; the number of such 
     applications that were granted; and a description of efforts 
     to streamline the review of such applications, taking into 
     account the proliferation and diversion potential of end-
     users in the country to which United States civil nuclear 
     technology would be transferred pursuant to such 
     applications.
       The Director of National Intelligence would also be 
     required to notify the Department of Energy and the 
     appropriate congressional committees not later than 30 days 
     after the date on which the Director determines there is 
     credible intelligence that United States civil nuclear 
     technology is being or has been diverted to a military 
     program in a foreign country to which the transfer of the 
     technology was authorized under section 57b or to a foreign 
     country to which the transfer of the technology was not so 
     authorized.
       The amendment would also require that not later than 60 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of Energy shall issue guidance with respect to the 
     use of authority of under section 234 of the Atomic Energy 
     Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2282) to impose civil penalties, 
     including fines and debarment, and to make referrals to the 
     Attorney General for prosecution, for violations of the terms 
     of authorizations for the transfer of United States civil 
     nuclear technology issued under section 57b. We believe that 
     given the extensive amendments made to section 57b of the 
     Atomic Energy Act of 1954 by section 302 of the Nuclear 
     Nonproliferation Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-242, 42 U.S.C. 
     2077), which were made after the enactment of the Energy 
     Reorganization Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-438), that the 
     Department of Energy should have justification to

[[Page H8034]]

     utilize section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as a 
     means of civil enforcement.
       Finally, the amendment would require that not later than 
     180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
     annually thereafter, the President shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report describing the 
     efforts of covered foreign countries to prevent the transfer 
     of sensitive items, including efforts to improve the 
     prevention of the transfer of such items; and assessing the 
     adequacy of such efforts as defined by section 2(a) of the 
     Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 
     106-178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note).
       We expect the Department of Energy shall take all 
     precautions necessary in this section to protect proprietary 
     information.
     Governance and management of nuclear security enterprise 
         (sec. 3137)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3133) that would 
     require the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator for 
     Nuclear Security to jointly establish a team of senior 
     officials from the Department of Energy and the National 
     Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to develop and carry 
     out an implementation plan to reform governance and 
     management to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the 
     nuclear security enterprise. Additionally, it would require 
     the Administrator to seek to enter into a joint agreement 
     with the National Academy of Sciences and the National 
     Academy of Public Administration to establish a panel of 
     external, independent experts to evaluate the plan developed 
     by the Department of Energy and NNSA and to evaluate the 
     implementation of such plan.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     3123) that would require the Administrator of the National 
     Nuclear Security Administration to enter into agreements with 
     the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of 
     Pubic Administration to assess implementation of 
     recommendations of the Congressional Advisory Panel on the 
     Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise that can be 
     carried out without additional legislation. In addition to 
     monitoring implementation, the agreement should specify that 
     the two entities should determine whether the implementation 
     was effective in addressing the problem it was intended to 
     solve. The agreement shall utilize the procedures of the 
     National Academies in reviewing and publishing the joint 
     report.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment makes certain 
     technical and conforming amendments, including changing the 
     date of submission of the implementation plan to be March 31, 
     2016, with a final report by the Implementation Assessment 
     Panel to 2020.
     Annual report on the number of full time equivalent employees 
         and contractor employees (sec. 3138)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3111) that would 
     amend section 3241A of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a) to require that, by 
     October 1, 2016, the total number of employees within the 
     Office of the Administrator may not exceed 1,350. This 
     section would also amend section 3241 of the National Nuclear 
     Security Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441) by striking 
     ``600'' and inserting ``450'' as the number of employees 
     allowed to be appointed under the authority provided by such 
     section.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3119) that 
     would that permits the Administrator of the National Nuclear 
     Security Administration (NNSA) to hire above the statutory 
     limit of 1,690 full time positions using up to 100 exempt 
     employees hired under section 3241 of the National Nuclear 
     Security Administration Act (50 United States Code section 
     2441).
       The House bill further contains a provision (sec. 3112) 
     that would amend section 3241A of the National Nuclear 
     Security Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a) to specify that 
     the total number of full-time equivalent employees working 
     under a service support contract of the NNSA may not exceed 
     the number that is 30 percent of the number of employees of 
     the Office of the Administrator authorized under subsection 
     (a)(1) of such section 3241A. The Administrator for Nuclear 
     Security would be required to not exceed this total number of 
     full-time equivalent contractor employees unless, during each 
     fiscal year in which the Administrator exceeds such 
     authorized number, the Administrator submits a report to the 
     congressional defense committees justifying such excess.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike 
     section 3111 of the House bill and modify section 3112 of the 
     House bill to require with each budget submission the 
     National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) provide a 
     report that provides the number of full time equivalent 
     employees under section 3241A of the NNSA Act (50 U.S.C. 
     2441a), the number of service support contracts and whether 
     the contracts are funded with program funds, the number of 
     full time equivalent employees under each contract and the 
     number in each contract that have been employed for more than 
     2 years.
     Development of strategy on risks to nonproliferation caused 
         by additive manufacturing (sec. 3139)
       The House bill (sec. 3145) contained a provision that would 
     require the President to develop and pursue a strategy to 
     address the risks to the goals and policies of the United 
     States regarding nuclear nonproliferation caused by the 
     increased use of additive manufacture technology (including 
     3D Printing). This section would require the President to 
     brief the appropriate congressional committees on the 
     development and execution of such strategy not later than 
     March 31, 2016, and every 120 days thereafter until January 
     1, 2019. Finally, this section would highlight the importance 
     of pursuing such strategy at the Nuclear Security Summit in 
     Chicago in 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Plutonium pit production capacity (sec. 3140)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3143) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the requirement to create 
     a modern, responsive nuclear infrastructure that includes the 
     capability and capacity to produce, at minimum, 50 to 80 pits 
     per year, is a national security priority and delaying 
     creation of this responsive infrastructure until the 2030s is 
     an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United 
     States. Additionally, it would require the Chairman of the 
     Nuclear Weapons Council to provide a briefing to 
     congressional defense committees by March 1, 2016, on the 
     annual plutonium pit production capacity requirement of the 
     nuclear security enterprise.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Assessments on nuclear proliferation risks and nuclear 
         nonproliferation opportunities (sec. 3141)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3134) that would 
     require the Director of National Intelligence to submit a 
     report to the appropriate congressional committees, by March 
     1 of each year from 2016 to 2020, containing an assessment 
     and prioritization of international nuclear proliferation 
     risks and nuclear nonproliferation opportunities and an 
     assessment of the effectiveness of various means and programs 
     for addressing such risks and opportunities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Analysis of alternatives for Mobile Guardian Transporter 
         program (sec. 3142)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3144) that would 
     require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees the analysis of 
     alternatives by the Administrator for the Mobile Guardian 
     Transporter program within 60 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. Additionally, it would also require 
     the Secretary of Energy to include in the annual budget 
     request submission, a separate, dedicated program element for 
     the MGT program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     the requirement for an independent assessment and clarify 
     that the submitted report must contain a full and 
     comprehensive analysis of alternatives. We stress that the 
     analysis of alternatives for the MGT program that is 
     conducted and submitted to Congress should take into account 
     all safety and security scenarios, as well as costs, 
     benefits, and risks of various engineering and policy changes 
     that could affect the program.

     duties, the Chairman of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Board 
     may not withhold from any member of the Board any information 
     that is made available to the Chairman regarding the Board's 
     functions, powers, and mission (including with respect to the 
     management and evaluation of employees of the Board). The 
     provision would also clarify that the Chairman of the Board, 
     subject to the approval of the Board, may appoint and remove 
     certain senior employees of the Board.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     preserve a United States-flagged merchant marine to serve the 
     national security needs of the United States under chapter 
     531 of title 46, United States Code.
     Sense of Congress regarding Maritime Security Fleet program 
         (sec. 3502)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3502) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that dedicated and enhanced 
     support is necessary to stabilize and preserve the Maritime 
     Security Fleet program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Update of references to the Secretary of Transportation 
         regarding unemployment insurance and vessel operators 
         (sec. 3503)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3503) that would 
     update sections 3305 and 3306(n) of title 26, United States 
     Code, to reflect the Maritime Administration's transfer from 
     the Department of Commerce to the Department of 
     Transportation that occurred in 1981.

     increase by $24.0 million the amount authorized to be 
     appropriated for expenses to maintain and preserve a United 
     States-flagged merchant marine to serve the national security 
     needs of the United States under chapter 531 of title 46, 
     United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Melville Hall of United States Merchant Marine Academy (sec. 
         3505)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3506) that would 
     allow the Maritime Administrator to accept a gift from the 
     U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Alumni Association and 
     Foundation for the purpose of renovating Melville Hall on the 
     campus of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     1087).
       The Senate recedes.
     Cadet commitment agreements (sec. 3506)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3501) that 
     would strengthen requirements for proper performance of 
     reserve service obligations for U.S. Merchant Marine Academy 
     (USMMA) graduates by providing clarity that graduates are 
     required to apply for a position in the reserves of an armed 
     force, maintain a Transportation Worker Identification 
     Credential, and maintain a U.S. Coast Guard approved medical 
     certificate. This section also would change the reserve 
     service obligations of USMMA graduates from 6 to 8 years to 
     conform with current Department of Defense reserve 
     requirements.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Student incentive payment agreements (sec. 3507)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3502) that 
     would clarify the requirements for a graduate of the student 
     incentive payment (SIP) program to perform service 
     obligations and facilitate enforcement of the reserve duty 
     component of their service obligation. It would assist in the 
     federal government's recoupment of funds if SIP graduates 
     fail to fully perform their reserve duty service obligation. 
     This section also aligns current U.S. Coast Guard and 
     Department of Defense (DOD) terminology to update references 
     to licensing and the Strategic Sealift Officer Program, as 
     well as bring the Maritime Administration's reserve service 
     obligation requirement in line with DOD requirements for 8 
     years of reserve duty.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     would amend the definition of short sea transportation in 
     section 55605 of title 46, United States Code.

       The House recedes.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Reliance on classification society certification for purposes 
         of eligibility for certificate of inspection
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3504) that would 
     modify section 53102 of title 46, United States Code, and 
     require the U.S. Coast Guard to implement certain class 
     society certification standards.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       We note the continued need for Maritime Security Program 
     (MSP) vessels to meet national defense sealift needs. Section 
     53102(e)(3)(A) of title 46, United States Code, establishes a 
     process for the U.S. Coast Guard to rely on classification 
     societies to certify compliance for MSP vessels, both 
     initially for reflag, and subsequently during renewal 
     inspections, based solely on applicable international 
     agreements, associated guidelines, and classification society 
     rules. We encourage the Coast Guard to use that process to 
     the greatest extent practicable. The Service should not set 
     up unnecessary barriers to entry for vessels the Department 
     of Defense has determined it needs to meet national defense 
     sealift requirements.

                       DIVISION D--FUNDING TABLES

     Authorization of amounts in funding tables (sec. 4001)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 4001) that would 
     provide for the authorization of projects, programs, and 
     activities in accordance with the tables in division D.
       The Senate bill contained an identical provision (sec. 
     4001).
       The agreement includes this provision.
     Clarification of applicability of undistributed reductions of 
         certain operation and maintenance funding among all 
         operation and maintenance funding (sec. 4002)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 4002) that 
     clarifies that the undistributed reductions in funding for 
     operation and maintenance due to bulk fuel purchases and 
     foreign currency fluctuations, as shown in table 4301, can be 
     applied to all operation and maintenance funding, regardless 
     if funding is available in table 4301 or 4302.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit 
     reductions mentioned above to table 4301 and 4303.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 5 minutes.
  I want to thank the chairman for his hard work on this piece of 
legislation. As always, I think he correctly described the process and 
all the work that went into it. It is always a challenge in the House 
and the Senate, Republicans and Democrats.
  There are many, many provisions in this bill that we argued over to 
reach agreement and reach consensus; but really, this bill is a 
reflection of the way Congress should function. It goes through 
committee; it goes through the House; it goes through the Senate 
committee, Senate; and then we conference and discuss those issues. I 
think this year, we flexed that as well. We had a very robust 
discussion with Members participating.
  I particularly want to thank the staff for their outstanding work. 
They always have to work very, very hard on all of those provisions--I 
think it was 647 that the chairman mentioned--to make that happen. Our 
staff is second to none, and I thank them for that. I thank the 
chairman and all the Members for participating in this bipartisan 
process.
  As the chairman stated, we have a good product. It takes some 
important steps on acquisition reform, it takes some critical steps on 
reforming our retirement system in a way that I think will benefit the 
troops, and it does all the other things that the chairman said it 
does.
  I will say that the political maneuvering that the chairman mentioned 
is not irrelevant because that is the one place that this bill still 
isn't quite there, and that is on getting rid of the budget caps. That 
is what all of that maneuvering was about; the original approach to 
this was to keep the budget caps in place and simply find OCO money. 
Now, the budget agreement upped the budget caps for a couple years, but 
still used a little OCO money. So it made progress, but it didn't get 
us there.
  Make no mistake about it. That issue is all about our troops and 
national security. Until we finally get rid of the budget caps and 
allow for a predictable--at least 5-, if not 10-, year future for our 
Defense Department, national security will be at risk.
  Now, it is great that we have got 2 years. It is great that we have 
got this one bill. But as many, many people in the Department of 
Defense--current Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, past Secretary of 
Defense Bob Gates--have mentioned, the last 5 years have been terrible 
for the Department of Defense. The last 5 years of unpredictable 
budgets, CRs, threatened shutdowns, actual shutdowns, budget caps--all 
of that has made it very, very difficult for the Pentagon to plan in 
the way that they would like.
  So the maneuvering that we went through to get to this point is far 
from irrelevant to what is in the best interests of national security 
and what is in the best interests of our troops. I think it is central 
to it.
  Even now, within this bill, we don't have as much money for readiness 
as I think any of us would like, and we don't have that predictability 
past 2 years. Two years is great, but we need to get past that. We need 
to get past the budget caps and build in some predictability going 
forward.
  So while it was frustrating, obviously, to go through the whole 
process and have it vetoed, once the budget was resolved, we put 
ourselves in a better position. Now we have turned what was a very good 
bill into a great bill and a bill that I am happy to support and that I 
believe is in the best interest of our troops and the best interest of 
national security.
  Again, I will emphasize this House will not truly get there until we 
have a more predictable budget future for national security in the 
Department of Defense. And not just the Department of Defense. As I 
mentioned in an earlier debate, the Department of Homeland Security, 
the Department of Justice, the Treasury Department, the State 
Department, amongst many others, play a critical role in our national 
security. They, too, need some budget certainty and freedom from the 
caps and sequestration.
  All of that I think was very, very relevant to making our national 
security stronger and adequately protecting our troops. So I am pleased 
to stand up and support the bill today. I look forward to it moving 
forward. Again, I thank everybody for their very, very hard work in 
making it happen.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, as the House departs for the Veterans Day recess, I 
think it is particularly important that we honor veterans with more 
than our words. We should honor them and what they sacrificed for with 
our votes as well. So over the next few minutes, I am going to be 
honored to yield to some of our colleagues who are combat veterans 
themselves.
  I would like to start first, and in many ways foremost with a true 
American hero.
  I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Texas (Mr. Sam 
Johnson).
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I come to the floor on 
behalf of all our servicemen and -women. As a 29-year Air Force veteran 
and POW, I know something about what it takes to achieve mission 
success. For the military to be successful, troops need adequate 
funding so they can carry out their mission safely and effectively. 
Troops also need the support of their President, their Commander in 
Chief.
  I speak from experience when I say this. I say it because, in 
Vietnam, we had neither. You see, due to consolidation at the Defense 
Department, the planes I flew in Vietnam were really Navy aircraft. 
They weren't equipped for air-to-air ground combat. The Pentagon hung 
gun pods on them, but its success rate was about 50 percent. That is 
just not the type of odds you want going into battle.
  On my 25th mission in Vietnam, I was hit from ground fire and tried 
to fight back, but couldn't because the gun jammed. Enemy shots caught 
my right engine on fire, and I ejected just before the aircraft 
crashed. The Viet Cong caught me and eventually took me to the infamous 
Hanoi Hilton, where I spent the next almost 7 years of my life.

                              {time}  0930

  Sometimes I wonder if things would have turned out differently had 
the Air Force properly equipped planes and my gun hadn't jammed. But I 
can tell you this: it is a vital priority of mine to ensure our troops 
today don't run into the same problem I did. America can't

[[Page H8124]]

defend its national security if our troops don't have what they need.
  I urge the President to sign this bill today. It is the right thing 
to do for our deployed troops who are in harm's way.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Loretta Sanchez), the ranking member 
of the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking 
member and the chairman of the committee. I would also like to thank my 
counterpart, the chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces 
Subcommittee, Mr. Turner, because we have truly worked in a very 
bipartisan way.
  Our committee looks at the procurement of things both for land and 
air. We have a lot of help in doing that. I would like to especially 
thank our staff--Doug Bush, John Wason, Jesse Tolleson, and John 
Sullivan--for their dedication and hard work in getting this done.
  I am very proud of the elements of our subcommittee we have in the 
bill today. Working in a bipartisan manner, we found hundreds of 
millions of dollars to cut from programs that are behind schedule, not 
performing, or some that just didn't make sense anymore. We took that 
money and diverted it into things that I believe our servicemembers 
need: UAVs, armored vehicles, fighter aircraft, tactical missiles, 
National Guard equipment, and a wide range of individual soldier items.
  I also want to highlight, for example, the Army National Guard needs 
to replace its aging helicopters, and we have focused on that. That was 
one of the things that I focused on. For example, in the California 
Army National Guard, they are deeply involved in fighting these forest 
fires, but they can't do it with aging equipment. It is a priority for 
me in this year's bill to fund UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters to ensure 
the implementation of modernized Black Hawks into the Army National 
Guard.
  I am also proud this year's bill continues to eliminate unnecessary 
barriers that delay the services from expanding opportunities for women 
in the military. It is time for the U.S. Armed Forces to stop excluding 
servicemembers from serving in certain roles due only to their gender. 
Female servicemembers have the right to serve in all units and all 
specialties as long as they meet the standards.
  And finally, as a member of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, I 
remain concerned about the bloated nuclear weapons budget. I hope that, 
in the future, we will support nonproliferation programs.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from Nevada (Mr. Heck), who is a veteran of the Iraq conflict and also 
chairs our Subcommittee on Military Personnel.
  Mr. HECK of Nevada. I thank the chairman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, as chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel, I 
appreciate Chairman Thornberry's efforts to finalize this critical 
legislation. His dedication to our men and women in uniform, their 
families, our veterans and survivors is unsurpassed.
  Supporting the men and women who raise their right hand, volunteer to 
pick up a weapon, and stand a post in a far-off land to guard the 
freedoms and liberties that make our Nation great is a primary function 
of the Federal Government to ``provide for the common defense.'' Today, 
with the adoption of this legislation, we achieve that goal.
  Included in this bill are personnel provisions that will allow us to 
recruit and retain the best and brightest, maintain an agile military 
force, and ensure our brave servicemen and -women receive the benefits 
they have earned and deserve.
  This includes a new retirement plan that provides a benefit for the 
roughly 83 percent of the force who serve less than 20 years and 
currently leave with nothing. It authorizes the special pays and 
bonuses that are critical to maintaining the All Volunteer force. It 
protects important nonmonetary compensation benefits like a robust 
commissary and exchange system. It mandates a joint uniform drug 
formulary between the Department of Defense and the Department of 
Veterans Affairs so that transitioning servicemembers can continue to 
receive the medications that are working for them when they leave 
active service. And it provides enhanced protections for sexual assault 
victims, to include protecting victims from retaliation.
  I urge my colleagues to stand with our military men and women, their 
families, our veterans and survivors, and support this bill.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Davis), the ranking member of the 
Military Personnel Subcommittee.
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman 
Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith; my colleague from Nevada, Dr. 
Heck, chair of the subcommittee; along with the committee staff for 
working in a bipartisan manner to incorporate the budget changes from 
the Bipartisan Budget Act into the NDAA. I am pleased to see this very 
important bill headed back to the President so that it can be signed 
into law quickly.
  The bill includes many good provisions to improve our military. It 
takes important steps toward personnel reform by including 
recommendations from the Military Compensation and Retirement 
Modernization Commission, a key provision in the modernization of the 
military retirement system.
  As has been mentioned before--and this is very, very important, I 
think, for everyone--while maintaining the 20-year defined retirement, 
a Thrift Savings Plan is added not just for retirees, but for all 
servicemembers. This will positively impact the 83 percent of the Force 
that leaves prior to the 20-year mark.
  The NDAA also continues the committee's critical work towards the 
prevention and response to sexual assault.
  Although the bill allows for some pilot programs to improve health 
care for servicemembers and their families, we need to do more. I am 
pleased that Chairman Thornberry has asked the Military Personnel 
Subcommittee to begin working on reforming the Military Health System.
  Important issues clearly are addressed in this bill, and I support 
many of the provisions and all the hard work that went into it. As we 
know, national security is born from many factions, including the 
education of our people, investment in science and technology, and the 
support of sustainable resources and infrastructure.
  The Bipartisan Budget Act provides for these investments over the 
next 2 years. We must capitalize on the time provided and fix the 
national budget so that we don't find ourselves back in the same 
situation we were in just a few weeks ago. Our national security is far 
too important.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from Illinois (Mr. Kinzinger), a combat veteran from both Iraq and 
Afghanistan.

  Mr. KINZINGER of Illinois. I thank the chairman for yielding, and I 
thank everyone for their hard work on this bill.
  Mr. Speaker, there is a lot of negativity out there. In the House, we 
talk a lot about bad things that happen. It is just our focus. But I 
want to talk about some of the good.
  Some of the good are the people that come from the United States of 
America, who put on the uniform of all our various Armed Forces, and 
stand as the line between chaos and order, the line between good and 
evil.
  We know in the last decade, we had a number of troops engaged in 
Iraq, Afghanistan, and all over the globe in the war on terror, keeping 
Americans safe. In some cases, they were very distant from their 
families. In some cases, they had to give the ultimate sacrifice. We 
know that today, in Syria, Iraq, and untold areas in other places, we 
have men and women still defending this country from the potential next 
attack.
  The best thing we can do in this body--we debate budgets, and that is 
important--and the most important thing we can do is equip the men and 
women of our military with the tools they need, with the pay they need, 
with the benefits they need to defend this country, to take care of 
their family, and that we can alleviate a little bit of the pain and 
loneliness they may feel when they are separated on the battlefield.

[[Page H8125]]

  So I want to thank the chairman, the ranking member, and my 
colleagues on the other side of the aisle and on this side of the aisle 
for working together. I would ask for this to pass in a unanimous way, 
if we could, and I would ask the President to sign this bill.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), the ranking member of the 
Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
  Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the revised 
defense bill, which restores the strong, bipartisan tradition of the 
House Armed Services Committee. In particular, the Seapower portion 
expands shipbuilding to ensure that today our Nation is building the 
ships we need tomorrow.
  The bill authorizes over $17 billion for construction of nine new 
ships, including two attack subs, two destroyers, three littoral ships, 
a new oiler, and completion of an LPD amphib. In addition, it continues 
work on a new carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, and overhaul of one of our 
current carriers.
  In this bill, we are providing the resources to keep our Navy on 
track to build a force of over 300 ships. This progress stands in stark 
contrast to where we were nearly a decade ago, building only four or 
five ships a year, a critical mistake which decimated the size of our 
fleet.
  The bill also includes the National Sea Based Deterrence Fund to 
allow the Navy to build new ballistic subs without suffocating the rest 
of Navy shipbuilding. To be clear, this program is not about building 
one submarine class. It is about making sure that the Navy and our 
Nation have the full range of ships and submarines needed in the 
future.
  Building on our work to start the fund last year, the bill today adds 
to the range of authorities the Navy can use to design and build 
ballistic subs in the most cost-effective way. Just last week, the 
nonpartisan CBO looked at the Seapower Subcommittee initiative and 
found that, if we ``funded the purchase of the Ohio replacement 
submarines through the National Sea Based Deterrence Fund . . . the 
Navy could potentially save several hundred million dollars per 
submarine.''
  That is the kind of thoughtful, bipartisan work that this bill 
represents.
  I urge support of the revised NDAA.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from California (Mr. Hunter), another combat veteran of America's 
recent wars, who also serves as the vice chair of our Subcommittee on 
Seapower and Projection Forces.
  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, first off, I want to thank the leadership, 
Adam Smith from Washington and Mac Thornberry from Texas. We have wise 
leaders who are going to be here. When the generals term out, when the 
administration terms out, when the Secretary of Defense changes over 
and over, guess who is here? Mac Thornberry and Adam Smith. It will be 
Mike Rogers, Mike Turner, Rob Wittman, and Randy Forbes.
  We have people who love this country. They come to work every day in 
D.C., and they care about national security, because there is no social 
security without national security. That is the way it is.
  The National Defense Authorization Act is our solemn promise to our 
people who fight for us. It is us promising them that we will look out 
for them, that we will fight for them, and that we will give them what 
is needed to do their job.
  When the guys go kick down doors, when the guys are out in the 
freezing cold whether or the hot, humid weather every day, day in and 
day out, while we are here in our suits and ties in this nice air-
conditioned building, this is our solemn promise to them. This is us 
telling them: Hey, we have your back. No matter where the President 
sends you, the Congress is going to make sure you have what you need to 
do your job.
  I did three tours--two in Iraq and one in Afghanistan--while my 
father was chairman of the Armed Services Committee here in D.C. That 
gave me the perspective of how Congress needs to watch our backs.
  Congress needs to do what is right for the men and women that are out 
there doing their jobs on the ships, day and night. That is what we are 
here doing. That is what is important.
  Without this, nothing else matters. Without this, the Ex-Im Bank 
doesn't matter. Without this, the transportation bill doesn't matter. 
It is about national security and making sure that we remain a free 
Nation.
  Once again, I want to thank the leaders who put this bill together 
and worked on this in a bipartisan way. I want to say thank you to 
Chairman Mac Thornberry and Ranking Member Adam Smith.
  I urge all my colleagues to vote for this bill for the country.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute.
  I just want to thank Congressman Hunter for his kind words for Mr. 
Thornberry and me.
  It is really the whole committee, and particularly the staff, that 
puts this together. I think it is the staff that I am most impressed 
with. They are absolutely 100 percent dedicated to the national 
security of this country.
  I think Mr. Hunter is absolutely correct that the first and most 
important responsibility we have is to protect this country and to give 
the troops the equipment that they need to succeed in that venture.
  I was particularly moved by Congressman Sam Johnson's comments about 
not having the equipment that he needed in Vietnam. I thank Mr. 
Thornberry for his leadership in trying to make sure that we don't 
repeat that mistake. I think we have worked in a bipartisan way to 
achieve that goal: to make sure that the men and women who serve our 
country have the equipment and the training that they need to perform 
the missions that we ask them to do.
  I thank Congressman Hunter and Congressman Sam Johnson of Texas. I 
think their words were very well said.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from Ohio (Mr. Stivers), another veteran of the Iraq conflict.

                              {time}  0945

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding time.
  This National Defense Authorization Act is really important. As a 
Member of Congress and as a member of the military, I have raised my 
right hand and taken an oath to protect against all enemies, foreign 
and domestic; and, in fact, defending our country is our primary duty 
as policymakers here in Washington.
  I am pleased that the budget agreement that was reached a couple of 
weeks ago will pave the way for a National Defense Authorization Act to 
get passed now.
  It was really unfortunate that the President chose to veto that over 
domestic spending priorities, but I am glad that we are here where we 
can actually fix some of the things that need fixed.
  This bill, as you have heard, protects and helps 83 percent of our 
servicemen and -women who don't reach 20 years of service. It allows 
them to walk away with something.
  More importantly, this bill will help reduce the incidence of suicide 
among our members of the military. Suicide is an epidemic in our 
military right now. They have been through a lot over the last 10 or 15 
years, and we need to give them the help they need. This bill helps do 
that.
  This bill makes other very important reforms in the acquisition 
process, but, most importantly, it gets the soldiers in harm's way the 
resources they need to do their job.
  I think that it is really important that we pass this bill before 
Veterans Day to send a signal to our troops all across the world that 
we have their backs and, when they answer the Nation's call and we send 
them into harm's way, we are going to get them what they need to do the 
job and help them return home safely.
  For those reasons, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this bill.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from Ohio (Mr. Wenstrup), another veteran of America's more recent wars 
and a member of our committee.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I have served in the U.S. Army Reserve 
since 1998. In 2005-2006, I deployed to Iraq for

[[Page H8126]]

1 year. There were times during that deployment when we wondered if 
politicians at home had our backs, but we never wondered if the 
President did. We knew he did.
  Mr. President, let's not give our troops pause now. Please sign this 
bill.
  Troops serving overseas want to make sure the politicians in D.C. are 
behind them. With Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith, I am 
here to tell our troops right here, right now that Members of this body 
have their backs.
  We have troops serving in harm's way every day, and their missions 
are expanding. Let's leave no question in their minds about the support 
here at home.
  This legislation, the National Defense Authorization Act, gives our 
troops and military families the certainty they need as they serve. 
Troops stationed all over the world, in desperate and dangerous places 
watched the President veto the National Defense Authorization Act just 
a couple of weeks ago--a dangerous decision, in my mind.
  Now, this time, Mr. President, please sign this bill. Sign this bill 
so our troops know that we have their backs. Sign this bill so our 
military can adequately plan for the threats that we face and will 
continue to face through 2016. From China to Russia, to ISIS, to Iran, 
to North Korea, the threats are real.
  National security is not to be juggled around. Let's pass and sign 
this bill so military families don't have to worry. National security 
is our responsibility. Let's give them some assurance in a world of 
uncertainty.
  Veterans Day is fast approaching. Let's get this critical defense 
bill across the finish line in honor of every man and woman that has 
ever worn the uniforms of the United States military.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks 
to the Chair.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), the ranking member of the 
Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.
  Mr. LANGEVIN. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I first want to thank the chairman and ranking member, 
particularly Chairman Wilson and the members of the Emerging Threats 
and Capabilities Subcommittee, for their hard work and contributions to 
the legislation before us today.
  The NDAA moves us forward on so many important issues, from 
cyberspace, to research and development, to the integration of advanced 
technologies, such as directed energy, to the challenges of special 
operations, counterterrorism, and unconventional warfare.
  The NDAA also invests properly in crucial capabilities, such as the 
Ohio Replacement Program, the peerless Virginia-class submarines that 
are built starting in my district in Rhode Island, the Virginia Payload 
Module, the cutting-edge autonomous and unmanned systems.
  I am particularly pleased that the budget approach reflected in this 
bill is the result of the considered compromise that was reached last 
week. That framework paves a fiscal path that invests in all 
departments and all elements of national power, not just defense.
  That agreement and the NDAA before us this morning echoes that very 
point. It demonstrates that, when we work across the aisle, we can 
accomplish the hard work of legislating that the American people 
elected us to do.
  I do believe that the bill gets it wrong, though, in a few areas, 
most notably, on the provisions related to Guantanamo. However, no bill 
is perfect. In a net assessment, I believe that this bill reflects a 
bipartisan compromise that will properly provide for our national 
defense and for our men and women in uniform, and I look forward to 
supporting it.
  Again, I want to thank Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith 
for the extraordinary work that they did together in bringing the bill 
to this point and the tireless staff, who are not often recognized like 
they should be, and their extraordinary work. I want to thank them for 
their work all collectively on this NDAA this year. I am already 
looking forward to getting to work on next year's bill.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Arizona (Ms. McSally), another combat veteran from 
both Iraq and Afghanistan.
  Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate your leadership on this bill 
over this last year and that, also, of our colleagues, working hard to 
make sure this is a good bill that gives our troops everything they 
need to protect our country and keep it safe.
  I commanded troops in combat. I know what it is like to make sure 
that we were ready to deploy anywhere in the world.
  We need to make sure that our troops that are at home, on alert, or 
deployed in harm's way have the equipment, the training, and the 
certainty that they need in order to keep us safe.
  Right now we have men and women who raised their right hand that are 
right now out there on the front lines putting their lives on the line, 
and the last thing they need is more uncertainty.
  The President's veto last week gives them uncertainty, and we need to 
stop that right now, today.
  We have been able to push past some of the issues with our 
colleagues. I urge everyone to support this very important bill.
  A couple of provisions just related to my district. We have got 
protections for the A-10 and the EC-130, very important assets that are 
deployed right now in the fight against ISIS and in other places around 
the world, saving American lives. This bill protects those assets from 
being retired. It is an important bill to pass to show certainty to our 
troops that we have got their backs.
  We also have missions down in Fort Huachuca in asymmetrical 
capabilities that are important for us and our defense. Whether it is 
unmanned aerial vehicles or cybersecurity, electronic jamming, we need 
to send the message to them that we are going to give them everything 
they need.
  Unlike Congressman Sam Johnson and his experience in Vietnam, we have 
got to show the troops that we have got their backs.
  This bill has important provisions in it across the board, including 
those for retirement benefits, sexual assault victims. It is a good 
bill. The President should not be playing politics with it.
  I urge our colleagues on both sides of the aisle that we need to work 
together, support this bipartisan bill, and get it passed. We need to 
make sure that our troops know we have their backs. We have their 
backs.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of 
my time.
  I just want to start on the last point about certainty and the 
President's veto. The bill the President vetoed had $38 billion in it 
in OCO funding, which the appropriators had not appropriated and which 
was highly unlikely to be there.
  If the President had signed that bill, the uncertainty would have 
been enormous. There would have been $38 billion promised in the NDAA 
with no guarantee whatsoever that it was going to show up.
  Now, once we got a budget resolution, we were able to get $33 billion 
of that $38 billion, and that is good. But, still, if he had signed 
that bill, we would now be scrambling to figure out where to cut that 
$5 billion in a bill that we had already passed.
  Make no mistake about it: the bill that we passed and that the 
President vetoed gave no clarity to our troops or to the Department of 
Defense because it had $38 billion in it that the budget resolution and 
that the appropriators were not going to approve.
  Until we got that resolved, we could not legitimately pass a bill 
that would give our troops and the Department of Defense any degree 
of--forget certainty--any degree of understanding of what money they 
were going to be able to spend.
  So passing an NDAA with a bunch of money in it that isn't reflected 
in the budget resolution, that isn't reflected in the appropriations is 
hardly supporting our troops and hardly giving them any sort of clarity 
as to what money they are going to have.
  Now we have a little bit of that clarity because of that budget 
resolution. I won't be so bold as to say that the President's veto of 
the NDAA was part

[[Page H8127]]

of the incentive for getting that budget resolution, but I am sure it 
didn't hurt because we wanted to clarify that very important national 
security process.
  But more than anything, there was $38 billion in there that wasn't 
going to be there. That is not keeping a promise to our troops. So I am 
glad that we got that clarity. I am glad it happened as soon as it did.
  I was skeptical we would get the budget resolution so quickly, but I 
am glad that we did. I think it does now give our troops and the 
Department of Defense the sense of clarity on the budget for at least 
the next 2 years that they need.
  As I have said, we need to go beyond that. We need to get rid of the 
budget caps. We need to get rid of, I believe, the Budget Control Act 
so that we can have some degree of planning ability for the next 5 to 
10 years for the Department of Defense and for all these other 
departments that are important to national security, but also important 
to economic security. That matters as well to our country.
  So I am glad that we have arrived where we are at. I, again, want to 
thank the chairman and thank all of the members of the committee for 
all of their very, very hard work.
  In particular, before I wrap up today, I want to thank Betty Gray, 
who works on our staff, who--and, if you look at her, you would not 
believe this in a million years--who has actually been here for 40 
years. I don't think she's aged in any of those 40 years.
  But she has served the Armed Services Committee and, gosh, more 
Members than any of us could probably count for 40 years. She is the 
epitome of a public servant and the epitome of exactly everything that 
the HASC staff stands for in terms of always putting the troops first, 
always being concerned about our national security.
  I don't know how we would function without Betty. She makes the 
trains run on time, makes sure everyone is doing what they need to be 
doing, and has just done a fabulous job. And she is just a truly 
wonderful person as well, has been a good friend to many, many Members 
and many, many staff members.
  But also, I think the great thing about Betty is, she has always 
managed to do something that is very difficult for all of us, and that 
is balance both professional and personal life.
  Her husband, Dick, and her children, Zach and Cal, have always been 
just number one priority for her. She takes care of them, and she also 
takes care of us.
  So for 40 years, she has been a dedicated public servant. I just want 
to have those of us who are here give a round of applause for Betty 
Gray and her 40 years of amazing public service.
  I don't know what we will do if she ever decides to retire. We like 
to think that no one is irreplaceable, but Betty comes as close as 
anyone I could possibly imagine.
  So I thank her for her help and leadership and for 40 years of 
dedicated public service.
  I urge a ``yes'' vote on the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the career of Betty Gray, a loyal public 
servant and a key staff member on the House Armed Services Committee. 
Betty has served in Congress for 40 years--a benchmark only the most 
dedicated public servants achieve.
  Betty typifies what it means to be a public servant, a colleague, a 
friend and, most importantly, a mother and wife. Anyone who has had the 
opportunity to meet Betty quickly understands that the most important 
thing in her life is her family. Her husband, Dick, and two children, 
Zach and Cal, are at the center of her life.
  We all fear the day Betty decides to retire. While no one is 
irreplaceable, some people come very close. Betty is one of those 
people. Her institutional knowledge and administrative skill set are 
unrivaled. After 40 years of service, Betty has accumulated a wealth of 
knowledge and depth of understanding about the Armed Services Committee 
and the Congress that cannot be replaced. When she retires, a part of 
Congress will retire with her.
  Betty is a true professional. Ask anyone who has worked with Betty 
about the quality of her service and the response is unequivocal: Betty 
has always been the quiet, consistent presence on the committee--the 
person who is never rattled, regardless of how chaotic or stressful 
things become. Betty is always here to remind us of whether what we're 
thinking has been tried before, and failed, or whether it has worked.
  An eagle-eye editor of letters and memoranda, Betty is literally the 
person who makes sure that we ``cross our T's and dot our I's.'' Not 
only is she the person with the clipboard checking off staff at Member 
meetings, she is the person who assures that the Members know the who, 
what, where, when, why, and how of the meeting. Throw five conflicting 
times and dates at her, and Betty can make calm out of schedule chaos. 
As security administrator for classified information regarding the 
committee's special access programs, Betty literally handles our 
deepest, darkest secrets. For 37 years, she has shepherded every 
National Defense Authorization Act through committee markup, ensuring 
every roll-call vote is tallied correctly and serving as the 
committee's unofficial historian.
  On a more personal level, she's the librarian of the House Armed 
Services Committee, the school counselor, the motherly presence who 
remembers everyone's birthdays, and, on occasions, even the school 
nurse. She is the go-to person to get things done and the one who lends 
a helping hand or a listening ear.
  Betty has out-lasted eight Speakers of the House, seven Presidents, 
and ten House Armed Services Chairmen. Speaking as someone who has been 
here for a while, I understand the difficulty of achieving that level 
of longevity. We are here today to celebrate all that Betty has done 
for her country and for Congress, and to thank her for her service. You 
are a true public servant, Betty. Thank you.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Betty Gray for her 
distinguished career. I am confident that others will continue to 
benefit from her service.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of the time.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to take up where the ranking member left off and 
join him in honoring and thanking Betty Gray for her incredible record 
of service to our committee and, through our committee, to the country.
  I think it is important to honor her, but she epitomizes the kind of 
selfless service to the country that this bill and this committee is 
really all about.

                              {time}  1000

  Mr. Speaker, Betty handles the most sensitive information our 
committee deals with, and she does it with a professionalism that is 
just beyond reproach from anyone. What you can't put in a job 
description is the personality--the person--the nurturing that comes to 
Members and other members of the staff which is irreplaceable.
  Mr. Speaker, I think too much of the time we--especially Members--
take for granted those people who are essential to getting the work 
done and through this institution serving the country. I agree 
completely with what the ranking member said--that Betty Gray 
epitomizes that sort of service.
  I think it is a similar but different capacity but a similar sort of 
service that we have heard about today from the combat veterans who 
have spoken, starting with Sam Johnson who talked about what happened 
when he wasn't appropriately supported and then spent the next 7 years 
of his life in the Hanoi Hilton. Now, we will never know what could 
have been prevented, but his testimony, really, about what he has 
endured should stick with us all.
  I think Mr. Hunter was particularly powerful in saying that this bill 
is our promise to those people who are out there serving in all sorts 
of places around the world today in an increasingly dangerous world and 
that whatever you think about this provision or that provision, those 
troops deserve to be supported on a bipartisan basis. They deserve to 
know that the country is behind them. The way we can convey that is by 
voting on both sides of the aisle as close to unanimously as we can for 
this measure.
  The last point I would make, Mr. Speaker, is the troops deserve that 
sort of support, but the rest of the world also needs to see that sort 
of support because there are an increasing number of questions around 
the world about whether the United States is in retreat and about 
whether we are willing to continue to engage in world leadership.
  One of the ways that we can demonstrate to adversaries, to friends, 
and to neutrals who are trying to make up their mind which way they are 
going to go that we are committed to defending ourselves, our 
interests, and our allies is by passing this bill for the 54th straight 
year. And this time, rather than have the President try to use it as a 
bargaining chip to get more domestic spending, this time have the 
President sign it. I think our troops deserve it,

[[Page H8128]]

the world needs to see it, and Members need to support the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, as a senior member of the Committees on 
the Judiciary and Homeland Security, I rise to speak on S. 1356, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for FY2016 Conference Agreement.
  I thank Armed Services Committee Chairman Thornberry and Ranking 
Member Smith for their work and collaboration with the Senate conferees 
in making the revisions to the NDAA needed to address the substantial 
and legitimate concerns raised by in the Statement of Administration 
Policy regarding the original NDAA (H.R. 1735).
  Mr. Speaker, S. 1356 authorizes $599 billion for the Pentagon and 
defense-related programs for FY 2016, $5 billion less than both the 
president's overall request and the original agreement.
  President Obama vetoed the original agreement on October 22, because 
he objected to its $38 billion in base defense funding in the uncapped 
Overseas Contingency Operations account.
  This had the effect of giving preferential treatment to defense 
spending over non-defense spending in violation of the Murray-Ryan 
Budget Agreement and contrary to the spirit of the even-handed pain 
resulting from sequestration.
  Because of the Bipartisan Budget Agreement reached last week, 
conferees were able to identify the $5 billion in reductions needed to 
conform to the requirements of the Murray-Ryan Budget Agreement.
  The revised NDAA Conference Agreement reflects the new FY 2016 cap 
and provides $33 billion of the original $38 billion in added funds for 
defense, including $8 billion through the OCO account.
  S. 1356 authorizes $715 million for Iraqi forces fighting the Islamic 
State, $406 million to train and equip Syrian opposition forces and 
$300 million for lethal weapons for Ukraine.
  I am especially pleased that S. 1356 incorporates three amendments 
that I successfully offered to the FY2016 NDAA passed by the House 
earlier this year.
  Jackson Lee Amendment Number 1, which requires the Department of 
Defense to conduct outreach program to assist small business concerns 
owned and controlled by women, veterans, and socially and economically 
minorities is incorporated in Section 868(b)(2) of new NDAA Conference 
Agreement:

     SEC. 868. MODIFICATION TO AND SCORECARD PROGRAM FOR SMALL 
                   BUSINESS CONTRACTING GOALS

       (b)(2) ``[T]he Administrator shall establish and carry out 
     a program to use the scorecard developed under paragraph (1) 
     to evaluate whether each Federal agency is creating the 
     maximum practicable opportunities for the award of prime 
     contracts and subcontracts to small business concerns, small 
     business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled 
     veterans, qualified HUBZone small business concerns, small 
     business concerns owned and controlled by socially and 
     economically disadvantaged individuals, and small business 
     concerns owned and controlled by women, by assigning a score 
     to each Federal agency for the previous fiscal year.''

  Jackson Lee Amendment Number 2, which provides guidance to Secretary 
of Defense on identifying HBCUs and minority serving institutions to 
assist them in developing and enhancing science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) capacities is incorporated in 
Section 233 of new NDAA Conference Agreement:

     SEC. 233. STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH HISTORICALLY BLACK 
                   COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND MINORITY-SERVING 
                   INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

       Basic Research Entities.--
       (1) Strategy.--The heads of each basic research entity 
     shall each develop a strategy for how to engage with and 
     support the development of scientific, technical, 
     engineering, and mathematics capabilities of covered 
     educational institutions in carrying out section 2362 of 
     title 10, United States Code.

  Jackson Lee Amendment Number 3, which requires the Department of 
Defense to evaluate commercial off-the-shelf business systems for 
security, resilience, reliability, interoperability, and integration 
with existing interrelated systems is incorporated in Section 883 of 
new NDAA Conference Agreement:

     SEC. 883. STREAMLINING OF REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO DEFENSE 
                   BUSINESS SYSTEMS

       ``(e) Guidance on Aquisition of Business Systems.--The 
     Secretary of Defense shall issue guidance for major automated 
     information systems acquisition programs to promote the use 
     of best acquisition, contracting, requirement development, 
     systems engineering, program management, and sustainment 
     practices, including--
       ``(6) policies to perform full backup of systems that will 
     be changed or replaced by the installation of commercial off-
     the-shelf business systems prior to installation and 
     deployment to ensure reconstitution of the system to a 
     functioning state should it become necessary[.]''

  In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, let me again express my appreciation to 
Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member, and the conferees for their 
work on this NDAA Conference Agreement, including the provisions 
incorporating the Jackson Lee amendments.
  Ms. Roybal-Allard. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the revised 
Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Although I 
am disappointed that the bill does not resolve the important issues of 
transporting and relocating Guantanamo Bay prisoners, the legislation 
does help our Armed Forces keep Americans safe in the face of new 
emerging threats in an increasingly unstable world.
  This NDAA supports the fight against the Islamic State, and also 
supports efforts to counter Russia's aggression in Ukraine. In 
addition, this bill includes a much-deserved 1.3% pay raise for all 
military personnel, as well as measures that seek to improve mental 
health care services for our servicemen and women.
  Also, this NDAA bucks the trend of brinksmanship that defined many 
previous legislative battles. Instead, the bill reflects the bipartisan 
spirit of our recently enacted two-year budget agreement, which raises 
spending on both defense and non-defense priorities, and does so 
without relying on any gimmicks. The terms of this NDAA will enable our 
Armed Forces to do the long-term planning they need to bring peace and 
stability to our globe.
  I voted against the previous version of the NDAA because it funneled 
$38 billion through the overseas contingency operations emergency fund 
to cover our basic defense needs. That kind of accounting trickery is 
gone from this bill.
  I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, S. 1356, as amended.
  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. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and 
nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 370, 
nays 58, not voting 5, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 618]
