by him to the bill S. 722, to impose sanctions with respect to Iran in 
relation to Iran's ballistic missile program, support for acts of 
international terrorism, and violations of human rights, and for other 
purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of the bill, add the following:

     SEC. 13. STRENGTHENING ALLIED CYBERSECURITY.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
     ``Strengthening Allied Cybersecurity Act of 2017''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In January 2017, the Director of National Intelligence 
     (referred to in this Act as the ``DNI''), in coordination 
     with the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation (referred to in this Act as the ``FBI''), and 
     the National Security Agency, judged with high confidence 
     that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence 
     campaign aimed at the 2016 United States presidential 
     election.
       (2) The DNI report stated, ``[The Department of Homeland 
     Security] assesses that the types of systems Russian actors 
     targeted or compromised were not involved in vote 
     tallying.''.
       (3) On January 10, 2017, the DNI stated, in testimony 
     before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, 
     ``We can say that we did not see evidence of the Russians 
     altering vote tallies.''.
       (4) On March 20, 2017, FBI Director James Comey stated, in 
     testimony before the Permanent Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the House of Representatives, ``We also, as a 
     government, supplied information to all the states so they 
     could equip themselves to make sure there was no successful 
     effort to affect the vote and there was none, as we said 
     earlier.''.

[[Page S3367]]

       (5) The DNI, in coordination with the Central Intelligence 
     Agency, the FBI, and the National Security Agency, judged 
     that Russia's intelligence services conducted cyber 
     operations against targets associated with the 2016 United 
     States presidential election.
       (6) The DNI assessed that the Russian Government's campaign 
     aimed at the United States election featured--
       (A) disclosures of data obtained through Russian cyber 
     operations;
       (B) intrusions into United States state and local election 
     boards; and
       (C) overt propaganda.
       (7) Russia's use of public disclosures of Russian-collected 
     data during the United States election was unprecedented.
       (8) The DNI, in coordination with the Central Intelligence 
     Agency, the FBI, and the National Security Agency, assessed 
     that Russia will apply lessons learned from its Putin-ordered 
     campaign aimed at the United States presidential election to 
     influence future elections worldwide, including against 
     United States allies and their election processes.
       (9) In May 2016, Germany's domestic intelligence agency 
     assessed that hackers linked to the Russian Government had 
     targeted Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic 
     Union party and German state computers.
       (10) The head of Germany's foreign intelligence service, 
     Bruno Kahl, later asserted that Germany had ``evidence that 
     cyber-attacks are taking place that have no other purpose 
     than to elicit political uncertainty. The perpetrators are 
     interested in delegitimizing the democratic process as such, 
     regardless of who that ends of helping. We have indications 
     that [the attacks] come from the Russian region.'' In 
     November 2016, German Chancellor Merkel, said, ``such cyber-
     attacks, or hybrid conflicts as they are known in Russian 
     doctrine, are now part of daily life and we must learn to 
     cope with them''.
       (11) On May 9, 2017, Admiral Michael Rogers, United States 
     Cyber Command commander and Director of the National Security 
     Agency, testified before the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the Senate that the United States surveilled Russian hackers 
     attack French computer systems as the French election 
     approached. In his testimony, Rogers said, ``We had talked to 
     our French counterparts prior to the public announcements of 
     the events that were publicly attributed this past weekend, 
     and gave them a heads up, `Look we're watching the Russians, 
     we're seeing them penetrate some of your infrastructure.'.''.
       (12) In February 2017, the United Kingdom's Defence 
     Secretary Fallon stated that--
       (A) all North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries 
     must support reform ``to make NATO more agile, resilient, and 
     better configured to operate in the contemporary environment 
     including against hybrid and cyber-attacks''; and
       (B) ``NATO must defend itself as effectively in the cyber 
     sphere as it does in the air, on land, and at sea.''.

     SEC. 13. SENSE OF SENATE ON THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF 
                   ARTICLE 5 OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY TO THE 
                   MEMBER NATIONS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY 
                   ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The principle of collective defense of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is immortalized in 
     Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty in which members 
     pledge that ``an armed attack against one or more of them in 
     Europe or North America shall be shall be considered an 
     attack against them all''.
       (2) For almost 7 decades, the principle of collective 
     defense has effectively served as a strategic deterrent for 
     the member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     and provided stability throughout the world, strengthening 
     the security of the United States and all 28 other member 
     nations.
       (3) Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in 
     New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, the Alliance agreed 
     to invoke Article 5 for the first time, affirming its 
     commitment to collective defense.
       (4) The recent attacks in the United Kingdom underscore the 
     importance of an international alliance to combat hostile 
     nation states and terrorist groups.
       (5) Collective defense unites the 29 members of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization, each committing to protecting 
     and supporting one another from external adversaries, which 
     bolsters the North Atlantic Alliance.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate--
       (1) to express the vital importance of Article 5 of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty, the charter of the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO), as it continues to serve as a 
     critical deterrent to potential hostile nations and terrorist 
     organizations;
       (2) to remember the first and only invocation of Article 5 
     by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in support of the 
     United States after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
     2001; and
       (3) to affirm that the United States remains fully 
     committed to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and will 
     honor its obligations enshrined in Article 5.
                                 ______
                                 
  SA 230. Mr. HELLER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 722, to impose sanctions with respect to Iran in 
relation to

Iran's ballistic missile program, support for acts of international 
terrorism, and violations of human rights, and for other purposes; 
which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       Beginning on page 31, strike line 16 and all that follows 
     through page 35, line 25.
       At the end, add the following:

 TITLE II--SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAM OF IRAN

     SEC. 200. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Iran Ballistic Missile 
     Sanctions Act''.

     SEC. 201. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) On April 2, 2015, President Barack Obama said, ``Other 
     American sanctions on Iran for its support of terrorism, its 
     human rights abuses, its ballistic missile program, will 
     continue to be fully enforced.''.
       (2) On July 7, 2015, General Martin Dempsey, then-Chairman 
     of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, ``Under no circumstances 
     should we relieve the pressure on Iran relative to ballistic 
     missile capabilities.''.
       (3) On July 29, 2015, in his role as the top military 
     officer in the United States and advisor to the President, 
     General Dempsey confirmed that his military recommendation 
     was that sanctions relating to the ballistic missile program 
     of Iran not be lifted.
       (4) The Government of Iran and Iran's Revolutionary Guard 
     Corps have been responsible for the repeated testing of 
     illegal ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear 
     device, including observed tests in October and November 2015 
     and March 2016, violating United Nations Security Council 
     resolutions.
       (5) On October 14, 2015, Samantha Power, United States 
     Ambassador to the United Nations, said, ``One of the really 
     important features in implementation of the recent Iran deal 
     to dismantle Iran's nuclear program is going to have to be 
     enforcement of the resolutions and the standards that remain 
     on the books.''.
       (6) On December 11, 2015, the United Nations Panel of 
     Experts concluded that the missile launch on October 10, 
     2015, ``was a violation by Iran of paragraph 9 of Security 
     Council resolution 1929 (2010)''.
       (7) On January 17, 2016, Adam Szubin, Acting Under 
     Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, stated, 
     ``Iran's ballistic missile program poses a significant threat 
     to regional and global security, and it will continue to be 
     subject to international sanctions. We have consistently made 
     clear that the United States will vigorously press sanctions 
     against Iranian activities outside of the Joint Comprehensive 
     Plan of Action--including those related to Iran's support for 
     terrorism, regional destabilization, human rights abuses, and 
     ballistic missile program.''.
       (8) On February 9, 2016, James Clapper, Director of 
     National Intelligence, testified that, ``We judge that Tehran 
     would choose ballistic missiles as its preferred method of 
     delivering nuclear weapons, if it builds them. Iran's 
     ballistic missiles are inherently capable of delivering WMD, 
     and Tehran already has the largest inventory of ballistic 
     missiles in the Middle East. Iran's progress on space launch 
     vehicles--along with its desire to deter the United States 
     and its allies--provides Tehran with the means and motivation 
     to develop longer-range missiles, including ICBMs.''.
       (9) On March 9, 2016, Iran reportedly fired two Qadr 
     ballistic missiles with a range of more than 1,000 miles and 
     according to public reports, the missiles were marked with a 
     statement in Hebrew reading, ``Israel must be wiped off the 
     arena of time.''.
       (10) On March 11, 2016, Ambassador Power called the recent 
     ballistic missile launches by Iran ``provocative and 
     destabilizing'' and called on the international community to 
     ``degrade Iran's missile program''.
       (11) On March 14, 2016, Ambassador Power said that the 
     recent ballistic missile launches by Iran were ``in defiance 
     of provisions of UN Security Council Resolution 2231''.
       (12) Iran has demonstrated the ability to launch multiple 
     rockets from fortified underground facilities and mobile 
     launch sites not previously known.
       (13) The ongoing procurement by Iran of technologies needed 
     to boost the range, accuracy, and payloads of its diverse 
     ballistic missile arsenal represents a threat to deployed 
     personnel of the United States and allies of the United 
     States in Europe and the Middle East, including Israel.
       (14) Ashton Carter, Secretary of Defense, testified in a 
     hearing before the Armed Services Committee of the Senate on 
     July 7, 2015, that, ``[T]he reason that we want to stop Iran 
     from having an ICBM program is that the I in ICBM stands for 
     intercontinental, which means having the capability to fly 
     from Iran to the United States, and we don't want that. 
     That's why we oppose ICBMs.''.
       (15) Through recent ballistic missile launch tests the 
     Government of Iran has shown blatant disregard for 
     international laws and its intention to continue tests of 
     that nature throughout the implementation of the Joint 
     Comprehensive Plan of Action.
       (16) The banking sector of Iran has facilitated the 
     financing of the ballistic missile programs in Iran and 
     evidence has not been provided that entities in that sector 
     have ceased facilitating the financing of those programs.
       (17) Iran has been able to amass a large arsenal of 
     ballistic missiles through its illicit smuggling networks and 
     domestic manufacturing capabilities that have been supported 
     and maintained by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and 
     specific sectors of the economy of Iran.
       (18) Penetration by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps into 
     the economy of Iran is well documented including investments 
     in the construction, automotive, telecommunications, 
     electronics, mining, metallurgy, and petrochemical sectors of 
     the economy of Iran.
       (19) Items procured through sectors of Iran specified in 
     paragraph (18) have dual use applications that are currently 
     being used to create ballistic missiles in Iran and will 
     continue to be a source of materials for the creation of 
     future weapons.
       (20) In order to curb future illicit activity by Iran, the 
     Government of the United States and the international 
     community must take action against persons that facilitate 
     and profit from the illegal acquisition of ballistic missile 
     parts and technology in support of the missile programs of 
     Iran.

     SEC. 202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the ballistic missile program of Iran represents a 
     serious threat to allies of the United States in the Middle 
     East and Europe, members of the Armed Forces deployed in the 
     those regions, and ultimately the United States;
       (2) the testing and production by Iran of ballistic 
     missiles capable of carrying a nuclear device is a clear 
     violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 
     (2015), which was unanimously adopted by the international 
     community;
       (3) Iran is using its space launch program to develop the 
     capabilities necessary to deploy an intercontinental 
     ballistic missile that could threaten the United States, and 
     the Director of National Intelligence has assessed that Iran 
     would use ballistic missiles as its ``preferred method of 
     delivering nuclear weapons''; and
       (4) the Government of the United States should impose tough 
     primary and secondary sanctions against any sector of the 
     economy of Iran or any Iranian person that directly or 
     indirectly supports the ballistic missile program of Iran as 
     well as any foreign person or financial institution that 
     engages in transactions or trade that support that program.

     SEC. 203. EXPANSION OF SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO EFFORTS BY 
                   IRAN TO ACQUIRE BALLISTIC MISSILE AND RELATED

     (Public Law 104-172; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) is amended--
       (1) in clause (i), by striking ``would likely'' and 
     inserting ``may''; and
       (2) in clause (ii)--
       (A) in subclause (I), by striking ``; or'' and inserting a 
     semicolon;
       (B) by redesignating subclause (II) as subclause (III); and
       (C) by inserting after subclause (I) the following:
