  SA 4332. Mr. UDALL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 2943, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 
2017 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military 
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, 
to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for 
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of subtitle I of title X, add the following:

     SEC. 1097. INTERNATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE SIMULATION AND 
                   ANALYSIS CENTER.

       (a) Establishment.--Using existing funds, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall work in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Energy and the Secretary of State to develop an International 
     Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center.
       (b) Purpose.--The International Infrastructure Simulation 
     and Analysis Center shall serves as the focal point for 
     gathering, analyzing, and disseminating information to the 
     Department of Defense, Secretary of State, the Department of 
     Energy, and National Security Council for the purposes of--
       (1) providing advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis 
     capabilities to analyze critical infrastructure 
     interdependencies, vulnerabilities, and complexities outside 
     the United States;
       (2) providing analysis and data to policy makers and 
     decision makers to aid in the prevention or response to 
     humanitarian or other threats outside the United States; and

     infrastructure interdependencies and the consequences of 
     infrastructure disruptions across multiple infrastructure 
     sectors outside the United States.
       (c) Use of Existing Facilities.--The International 
     Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center shall utilize 
     existing Department of Defense or Department of Energy 
     facilities.
       (d) Capabilities.--The Center should include the following 
     capabilities:
       (1) Process-based systems dynamic models.
       (2) Mathematical network optimization models.
       (3) Physics-based models of existing infrastructure.
       (4) High fidelity, agent-based simulations of systems.
       (5) Other systems capabilities as deemed necessary by the 
     Secretary of Defense to fulfil the mission needs of the 
     Department of Defense.
