        NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 431 and rule 
XVIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the Whole House 
on the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill, H.R. 2810.
  The Chair appoints the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Mitchell) to 
preside over the Committee of the Whole.

                              {time}  1920


                     In the Committee of the Whole

  Accordingly, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill 
(H.R. 2810) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2018 for 
military activities of the Department of Defense and for military 
construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal 
year, and for other purposes, with Mr. Mitchell in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to the rule, the bill is considered read the 
first time.
  The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Smith) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I am proud to bring before the House H.R. 2810, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. It was 
reported favorably by the House Armed Services Committee at 11:59 p.m. 
on June 28, 2017, by a vote of 60-1. Now, that vote is an indication of 
the bipartisan support that exists to support our troops and to fulfill 
our obligations placed on us by the Constitution.
  Mr. Chairman, I think it is always helpful for us to remind ourselves 
of the authority by which we undertake our responsibilities. Article I, 
Section 8 of the Constitution says that Congress has the power and the 
responsibility ``to raise and support Armies. . . . To provide and 
maintain a Navy; To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of 
land and naval Forces,'' and, of course, ``To make all Laws which shall 
be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing 
Powers.''
  The members of our committee and our staff take those 
responsibilities very seriously. This year, we seek to carry them out 
in a world which is as dangerous and complex as any of us have ever 
seen. One example from the news of the day is the alarming progress 
North Korea is making towards having an intercontinental ballistic 
missile that can carry nuclear weapons to our homeland.

  Now, we have, of course, a number of tools to use, including 
diplomacy and sanctions, but there is no substitute for military power, 
and I believe we must develop and deploy more of it to be ready to deal 
with these growing threats.
  So the bill before us today substantially increases money for missile 
defense so we are more capable of protecting our homeland against those 
ballistic missiles. It also increases funding for key munitions and for 
intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance so we can have better 
visibility on what adversary is doing.
  It increases the end strength for the Army, the Navy, and the Air 
Force, just as they requested. And it funds more joint exercises with 
key allies in the Pacific. It boosts our shipbuilding budget to get 
more ships into the water faster, and also cheaper.
  So, just as an example, Mr. Chairman, each of those items is 
important for dealing with this growing threat coming from North Korea, 
and we could sit here and go through a similar sort of discussion when 
it comes to Iran, or the provocative actions of Russia and China, or 
the terrorist organizations of various shades.
  Of course, we cannot guarantee that the capabilities that we will 
vote on in this bill will be available by the time the crisis comes 
for, unfortunately, Mr. Chairman, we are still dealing with defense 
budgets that were cut by more than 20 percent at a time when the 
threats around the world were growing. So we can't guarantee that these 
capabilities will be available when we need them.
  But what we can guarantee is, if we don't fund these things now, they 
will not be available when we need them, so that is the priority given 
to this bill.
  Mr. Chairman, exactly 1 month ago, on June 12, Secretary Mattis and 
Chairman Dunford testified before our committee. And I would like to 
read just one paragraph of the Secretary's testimony where he was 
comparing what the military was like when he left it and when he came 
back as Secretary.
  Secretary Mattis testified: ``Four years later, I returned to the 
Department and I have been shocked by what I have seen with our 
readiness to fight. For all the heartache caused by the loss of our 
troops during these wars, no enemy in the field has done more harm to 
the readiness of our military than sequestration. We have sustained our 
ability to meet America's commitments abroad because our troops have 
stoically shouldered a much greater burden.''
  Four years later, shocked, more harm by sequestration than the 
enemies in the field, and it is only because our folks are so 
incredible that they have born an increasing burden. That is what the 
Secretary testified.
  Mr. Chairman, we have, indisputably, the finest military in the 
world, but it is also indisputable that it has been severely damaged by 
continuing resolutions, by sequestration, and by failure of the 
executive and legislative branches to adequately support the men and 
women out there on the front lines. We have an urgent need to begin to 
repair and rebuild our military.
  And I also believe, Mr. Chairman, it is fundamentally wrong to send 
men and women out on dangerous missions without providing them the best 
equipment, in the best shape, with the best training that our country 
can possibly provide. This bill, if followed by matching appropriation, 
takes a significant step toward meeting that objective, to support 
those troops.
  It also makes major reforms in the way the Pentagon does business. 
Among other reforms, it enables the military to buy commercial products 
through online sites such as Amazon, Staples, and Grainger. We require 
life cycle maintenance costs to be considered at the beginning of a 
program, as must intellectual property rights, to maximize competition 
in the maintenance and repairs. Oversight into service contracts has 
increased, and there is much more, of course, in the bill.
  Mr. Chairman, this bill is the vehicle by which we usually, for 55 
years, at least, fulfill our responsibilities under the Constitution 
that I mentioned, to provide for the common defense. I believe that is 
the first job of the Federal Government.
  I want to just express my appreciation to each of the members of our 
committee. Each of them has contributed to the product before us. Each 
of them takes their responsibilities under the Constitution very 
seriously; no one more so than the Ranking Member, Mr.

[[Page H5535]]

Smith of Washington. We don't always agree on the judgment calls about 
issues, but I have no doubt that he and all the members of the 
committee try to do what is right for the country and put the interests 
of our troops first.
  That is exactly the attitude that we must follow, I think, on the 
floor over the next 3 days as we go through the amendments which we 
will consider.
  I also want to express appreciation to the committee and personal 
staff who have worked on this bill.
  It has been a challenging year for a variety of reasons, but, as I 
started, I will finish. I am proud of this product. I hope it will gain 
the support of the entire House.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 5 minutes.
  I thank the chairman, first of all, for his hard work on this bill, 
and all the members of the committee and the staff. As the chairman has 
pointed out, this is a bill that we have passed for 55 straight years. 
It is a long and complicated bill that essentially sets the defense and 
national security policy for our country, and there is a lot of good 
work that has gone into this bill.
  Again, I thank the members for doing that. They recognize the complex 
threat environment that the chairman correctly described, and we are 
attempting to address it as best we can in this very difficult 
environment.
  I think the thing that is most difficult that I really want to 
emphasize is what the chairman said in the middle of his remarks: that 
over the past 6 years we have had one government shutdown, a number of 
continuing resolutions, several threatened government shutdowns, and 
the unpredictability that that has presented to the Defense Department.
  Now, to be clear, it has also presented a fair amount--the same 
amount of unpredictability to the nondefense discretionary budget that 
also has to deal with those challenges. But that uncertainty about our 
budget has made it very difficult to plan, and nowhere is that more 
important than at the Department of Defense.

                              {time}  1930

  As they try to lay out a strategy for national security, not knowing 
from one month to the next how much money you are going to have or what 
you are going to be able to spend it on is a huge problem. I will say a 
little bit more about this later, because as big a problem as that is, 
we haven't solved it.
  As we debate this bill here today, we do not have a budget resolution 
from either the House or the Senate. This is a problem we still need to 
work on. However much money we wind up spending on defense, if we had a 
cohesive plan and a clear idea of how much money we were going to have 
over the next few years, it would be a lot easier to plan for those 
contingencies.
  Again, I do want to compliment the work that has been done on this 
bill. Particularly, I focus a lot on unconventional threats. I think 
that is the changing nature of the world. I used to chair what is now 
called the Emerging Threats Committee. I want to thank Congresswoman 
Stefanik and Ranking Member Langevin for their work and focusing on 
cyber, focusing on supporting our special operation forces that have 
borne so much of the brunt of the fight that we face in countering 
terrorism.
  I also want to thank Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Cooper for 
their work on the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, focusing on space, in 
particular, on the importance of emphasizing that. For a long time, our 
country dominated space. We didn't have to worry about it. But now a 
lot of other countries are catching up and competing with us. I think 
this bill reflects the importance of that.
  So there are a lot of very solid things in this bill, but I want to 
close by emphasizing two significant problems that we still need to 
address.
  One I mentioned already. We don't have a budget resolution. This bill 
has $621 billion in it, as I understand it, in the base bill, and 
another, I believe, $75 billion in the overseas contingency fund. We 
are spending nearly $700 billion in this bill on defense. That is a lot 
of money, and the chairman mentioned a lot of the very necessary 
programs that it is going towards. However, that breaks the budget 
caps.
  In order to break the budget caps, the House and the Senate have to 
vote to break the budget caps. It is July. We haven't done that. I will 
emphasize that in the Senate it actually requires 60 votes to break the 
budget caps.
  So as much as I see the need in defense, given the complex threat 
environment out there, it is very possible that $72 billion of what is 
in this bill is going to disappear between now and the end of this year 
unless we address the broader issue of sequestration and budget caps.
  I will also emphasize that addressing that issue by gutting funding 
for the nondefense discretionary budget and plussing up defense is not 
going to work for a couple of reasons.
  Number one, a lot of the national security needs that we have come 
out of some of those other items. The proposal to cut the State 
Department by 31 percent in a time when we face the complex threat 
environment that was described is ridiculous. In fact, I will quote 
Chairman Mattis as well, who said:

       If you are going to cut the State Department by 30 percent, 
     you better give me five more divisions because I am going to 
     need them. We are not going to be able to resolve conflicts 
     in a peaceful way.

  And also, of course, we have domestic needs that are very important 
as well. We are still waiting on the infrastructure package from the 
administration.
  There are a lot of needs that are not being met, and we are not yet 
voting to bust the budget caps. Here we have a bill that does that, but 
this House has to step up and take that vote if this defense 
authorizing bill is going to go forward.
  The second and final point, we still don't have a national security 
strategy from the White House. Now, we have a very complex threat 
environment, as I have said more often than I meant to during the 
course of the last few minutes--we do. We have got Russia, China, North 
Korea, Iran, a variety of terrorist threats. What we have heard in our 
committee for the last 6 months is a series of people from the Pentagon 
coming over and saying the house is on fire. We don't have enough money 
to do--fill in the blank. There are a whole lot of different things.
  What we haven't heard is a strategy, and the most disturbing 
conversation I had in that regard was with someone from the Office of 
Net Assessment.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield myself an additional 1 minute.
  He explained to me that we laid out a strategy in 2012 and said we do 
not have the money to fund that strategy right now. So I asked him: 
Well, how short are you? How much more money do you need?
  He looked at me like he didn't understand what I was asking, so I 
sort of explained it. The short answer: he didn't know.
  How could he not know? I mean, if you can sit there confidently and 
say, ``My gosh, we don't have enough money; we are way crazy short of 
our 2012 strategy'' and you still can't say how short, then you don't 
have a strategy. We need a strategy to make sure this money is spent 
wisely.
  I will close with a compliment of the chairman for something that he 
has done. We should also not assume that simply spending more money at 
the Department of Defense is necessarily going to make us safer. We 
have to make sure we spend it efficiently and effectively. I think this 
bill has a lot of very solid efforts to try to make us do that, towards 
acquisition reform, towards spending the money more wisely.
  It is not just a matter of spending more money. We have got to spend 
it smarter, and we have got to confront the lack of a strategy, and we 
have got to confront the fact that we still have not resolved our 
budget resolution problem.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson), chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Readiness.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the House 
Armed Services Committee chairman, Mac Thornberry, for his determined 
leadership to promote peace through strength. I am grateful to support 
H.R. 2810, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.

[[Page H5536]]

  First of all, I would like to thank my colleague and ranking member, 
Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo of Guam, for her tireless efforts and 
participation in this process, and I also thank the Readiness 
Subcommittee members of the House Armed Services Committee on both 
sides of the aisle for bipartisan input on this bill. The creation of 
the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act truly was bipartisan.
  Mr. Chairman, over the past several months, we have heard testimony 
from every military service branch about their urgent need to address 
the alarming readiness shortfalls. Their testimonies were sobering, 
confirming Congress must take bold action.
  Here today, we have the responsibility of reducing the risk to our 
servicemembers by making sure they are well trained, supported, and 
that the equipment they use is properly maintained and combat ready. 
There are numerous important readiness provisions in the authorization, 
including adding over $2 billion to long-neglected facilities 
sustainment and restoration and modernization accounts.
  It gives the Department of Defense more responsive facility 
construction, repair, and real estate authorities for more efficient 
use of DOD resources.
  It extends multiple temporary hiring authorities to allow the 
Department of Defense to fill critical manpower gaps, in particular at 
our defense industrial facilities--our depots, arsenals, and shipyards.
  None of the readiness provisions are arbitrary. They are specifically 
targeted to stop and, as much as possible, to reverse the decline of 
the readiness of our Armed Forces so we can continue to combat and 
deter the threats to national security from around the world.
  Mr. Chairman, I strongly support H.R. 2810, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, and encourage my colleagues in 
the House to support it as well.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Tsongas), the ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces.
  Ms. TSONGAS. Mr. Chairman, two weeks ago, the Armed Services 
Committee advanced the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2018 to the House floor with broad bipartisan support. I would 
like to thank Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for their 
work in developing this year's bill.
  I would also like to thank Congressman Turner, chairman of the 
Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, of which I am the ranking 
member, for his leadership and spirit of bipartisanship this year.
  This year's bill includes investments to fill genuine readiness needs 
and funding that is critical to ensuring that our men and women in 
uniform have the best cutting-edge resources and best equipment 
possible to keep them safe when defending our Nation.
  I was encouraged that the bill we have passed out of committee 
directs the Defense Department to provide specific updates and reports 
on a number of programs and platforms so that we can robustly conduct 
our oversight responsibility on behalf of the American people.
  However, as we consider the bill on the floor today and in the coming 
days, I remain concerned about how we fund these needs. Substantial 
budget increases for the Department of Defense at the expense of other 
vital national programs undermines investments in our national 
competitiveness and the future of our country and, I believe, makes us 
less secure over the long term.
  Providing our men and women in uniform with the resources they need 
to carry out their mission is one of our most solemn obligations, but 
we must also fund these resources responsibly in order to safeguard our 
economic vitality and our national security.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Turner), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and 
Land Forces.
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 2810, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
  I have the privilege of serving as the chairman of the Tactical Air 
and Land Forces Subcommittee, and I want to particularly thank my 
subcommittee's ranking member, Ms. Tsongas, for her support in 
completing the markup of the bill, as well as for her hard work and for 
the bipartisan work that we have done together on the issue of sexual 
assault in the military. I appreciate her leadership in that.
  I strongly support this bill and can't emphasize enough Chairman 
Thornberry's steadfast leadership in raising the top line in this bill. 
This bill recommends $631 billion, a significant and needed increase 
over the original budget request that supports both the base and 
unfunded requirements, which totaled over $30 billion. Without Chairman 
Thornberry's leadership, this number would not be sufficient.
  We are presenting a budget that helps rebuild the readiness of our 
forces. This increased base funding will begin to rebuild full-spectrum 
readiness from years of deferred modernization brought on by the 
previous administration.
  Within the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee jurisdiction, 
this bill authorizes over $12 billion in additional funds to address 
critical unfunded modernization requirements identified by the 
services.
  The bill recognizes the importance of land forces in current and 
future operations and authorizes over $2 billion to accelerate armored 
brigade team modernization, to include additional Abrams tanks and 
Bradley fighting vehicles.
  The bill addresses strike fighter capability and capacity shortfalls 
and authorizes another $2 billion in additional funding to secure 
additional F-35 Strike Fighters and F-18 Super Hornets to address 
unfunded requirements for the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.

  I am also pleased that this bill supports the European Deterrence 
Initiative, using OCO and addressing the needs of our European allies.
  This bill contains language from the BE HEARD sexual assault bill 
that I worked with Representative Tsongas on, that we introduced in 
June, and I am very proud that we continue to advance for the cause of 
protecting our servicemembers from sexual assault.
  I am also pleased to note that Evan's Law is included in this bill. 
This bill will ensure that the that Department of Defense implements 
military residential window safety measures to protect against 
unintentional falls by young children.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support the National Defense 
Authorization Act.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Guam (Ms. Bordallo), ranking member of the Subcommittee on Readiness.
  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Chairman, I would first like to commend Chairman 
Thornberry, Ranking Member Smith, and the committee staff who have 
worked many long nights on the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018.
  While there are very real questions about the top line number, and I 
believe it would be inappropriate and reckless to have any additional 
funding come off the backs of nondefense spending, this is an important 
step forward in rebuilding our military readiness.
  This bill includes additional operations and maintenance funding to 
support more combat training center rotations and needed investment in 
the facilities sustainment, restoration, and modernization accounts, 
providing more training opportunities and better maintenance facilities 
to live, work, and operate in. However, readiness cannot be bought back 
in a year, and these targeted investments must continue.
  Furthermore, the bill provides authorities to right-size civilian 
personnel shortfalls that have stressed maintenance backlogs at our 
shipyards and our depots. It also will make more effective the 
Department's Quarterly Readiness Report and raise the minor military 
construction threshold and clarify unspecified projects to provide 
additional flexibility to the Department.
  I would especially like to thank Chairman Thornberry for following 
through on his commitment last year to work with me to include my 
provision that would help address critical workforce shortages 
affecting military

[[Page H5537]]

construction and healthcare essential to the military buildup on Guam. 
I also thank our Ranking Member Smith and Readiness Subcommittee 
Chairman Joe Wilson for working with me on this issue and on this bill. 
I look forward to continuing to work together to protect the full 
intent of this legislation.
  The readiness portion of this bill also includes provisions to 
support ship repair in the western Pacific, as well as full funding for 
critical military construction projects.

                              {time}  1945

  Given our posture, our strategic needs and challenges in the region, 
it is essential that we continue to sufficiently resource and support 
an active and engaged Indo-Asia-Pacific force.
  I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the 
aisle as this process continues.
  And lastly, Mr. Chair, I would like to commend Vickie Plunkett for 
her over two decades of service in the House of Representatives, and 10 
years on the House Armed Services Committee.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers), the chair of our Subcommittee on 
Strategic Forces.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I would like to thank Chairman 
Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for their leadership in bringing 
this years's NDAA. I would also like to thank my friend and colleague 
from Tennessee, Mr. Jim Cooper, the ranking member on our subcommittee, 
for being such a great partner as we worked on this important bill.
  Now, I would like to focus on some key provisions in the bill. First, 
space reform. This bill takes two monumental steps to reform national 
security space. First, the bill provides for the creation of a space 
core within the Air Force to fix the fragmented space acquisition 
process.
  Second, it provides for the establishment of a subordinate, unified 
command for space under U.S. Strategic Command to ensure integration of 
the joint command of all space operations.
  I can't stress enough the urgent necessity of these reforms. Our 
society and our military are enormously dependent on space. Meanwhile, 
our adversaries continue to grow their counterspace capabilities. These 
adversaries have already reorganized their space forces toward the goal 
of neutralizing our advantage in space.
  Multiple studies going back almost two decades have recommended a 
space force to fix our space acquisition and management problems. 
Regardless, the DOD and the Air Force have yet to fix the problem. 
Decisionmaking authorities for space acquisitions remain fragmented 
across over 60 organizations. This bill would consolidate acquisition 
authority and improve our ability to jointly operate in space.
  Earlier this week, I returned from Asia where I got to meet with our 
troops on the Korean Peninsula. I was in theater when North Korea 
conducted their intercontinental ballistic missile. We must be vigilant 
when it comes to our missile defenses, and this year's NDAA does that.
  Noteworthy initiatives in the bill include the authorization of 
approximately $2 billion in additional funds for the Missile Defense 
Agency. It also accelerates our efforts to develop a space-based sensor 
and interceptor capabilities. Lastly, the bill supports our nuclear 
deterrence and includes provisions to improve the oversight of our 
nuclear command, control, and communications.
  Mr. Chair, I urge support of this important legislation.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 3 
minutes to the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), the ranking 
member of the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.
  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Chair, I want to thank the ranking member for 
yielding. And, Mr. Chair, I would like to begin by thanking Chairman 
Thornberry, Ranking Member Smith, and Chairwoman Stefanik for their 
collective efforts in crafting this bill that is before us this 
evening.
  I would also like to thank the staff who worked tirelessly on this 
productive and forward-thinking legislation.
  It is an honor and a privilege to serve as a senior member of the 
House Armed Services Committee on behalf of the selfless servicemen and 
women who protect our Nation every day, and I am proud of the very 
strong bipartisan effort represented by this year's NDAA.
  Mr. Chair, we accomplish a number of important objectives in this 
bill. First of all, we enhance our deterrence capabilities in Europe 
and support our Nation's submarine force. I am very proud of the 
Virginia class submarines that we build starting right in my district, 
and we also provide strong support for the Columbia class program that 
will be the Ohio replacement program.
  We also make it clear that climate security is, indeed, national 
security, backing the Department in its efforts to build resilience, 
reduce risk, and prepare for all types of threats that may come our 
way, even if those threats come from climate change.
  But as ranking member of the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and 
Capabilities, I am particularly proud of the provisions we have 
included on cybersecurity, special operations, and research and 
development. We strengthen our cyber cooperation with our partners and 
allies through both training and collaboration with the NATO 
Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.
  We better leverage the U.S. Global Engagement Center to combat 
propaganda and information warfare operations conducted against America 
and her allies, and we grant permanent authority for family support 
programs within Special Operations Command that reflect the unique 
needs of these warfighters and their families.
  We also reinvigorate the DOD scholarship program so that students are 
encouraged to pursue information security degrees and can come to work 
defending our Nation from the get-go. We can have all of the cyber 
policies in place that we want, but if we don't have the trained 
workforce to execute those policies, we are going to be behind the 
curve, and this helps to close that gap.
  We advance hypersonic weapons research, development, and especially 
transition efforts. We prioritized the readiness of U.S. Cyber Command 
in our Cyber Mission Force, and we strengthen congressional oversight 
of sensitive cyber military operations and command cyber warfare tools 
and capabilities.

  This approach was deliberate in nature, and it moves us closer to a 
military that will be able to address the variety of threats that we 
face in the 21st century.
  Again, I would like to thank Chairman Thornberry, Ranking Member 
Smith, and Chairwoman Stefanik, and all of my colleagues on the House 
Armed Services Committee, as well as the staff, for their hard work on 
this very important bill.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wittman), the distinguished chair of the 
Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces.
  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 2810, the 
FY18 National Defense Authorization Act, but I continue to be surprised 
at some of the national security pundits who believe that a diminished 
force structure will improve our national security.
  Some have questioned whether we should fully fund national defense. 
Some have even questioned whether we should continue to expand our 
armed services to meet the strategic challenges posed by a rising China 
and Russia, by an unpredictable North Korea, and a belligerent Iran.
  Mr. Chairman, our time is up. The time of action is now. The focus of 
our Nation is upon us to provide for our national security. I am 
pleased that we appear to have turned the tide in properly resourcing 
the requirements of our armed services; and I am pleased that we are 
authorizing the funding to match our strategy and providing what our 
combatant commanders need to win any future conflicts; and I am pleased 
that we have acknowledged the importance of our servicemembers and the 
hardships that they endure so that we can enjoy our free and democratic 
society.

[[Page H5538]]

  In reference to the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, I 
believe that we have reversed a trend toward a diminishing Navy and are 
tracking toward a strengthened 355-ship fleet. The bill expands on the 
eight ships requested by the administration and adds an additional five 
ships. The bill also recommends additional advance procurement for 
aircraft carriers and attack submarines, while fully funding the 
Columbia class ballistic missile submarine and the B-21 raider bomber 
programs.
  As to aircraft, the bill recommends an expansion of KC-46As, C-130Js, 
E-2Ds, and P-8s. Finally, the bill delivers the right authorities that 
will save the Department of Defense billions--yes, billions--of 
dollars.
  Additionally, I want to recognize Ranking Member Joe Courtney. He has 
done extraordinary work and has been a true partner in this journey and 
continues to work in a collaborative, bipartisan basis, to deliver the 
best for our national security.
  I continue to be impressed with the results that can be achieved when 
a subcommittee and the full committee focuses on a common goal and 
works to achieve bipartisan results.
  I urge my colleagues to support the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Speier), the ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Military Personnel.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his 
outstanding leadership and candor on our committee. I want to give a 
special shout-out to our chairman, Mr. Thornberry, who shaved an hour 
and a half off our deliberations a couple of weeks ago by bringing us 
into the 21st century, and laptops to look at our amendments. So it was 
a great improvement.
  I also want to thank my chair, Chairman Mike Coffman, for his 
leadership. We have worked well together, and I look forward to 
continuing that relationship, and also to a top-notch staff.
  This bill includes provisions that will provide the military services 
flexibility to recruit and retain members of our armed services and 
continues our commitment to taking care of our military families.
  The NDAA continues funding for DOD impact aid for schools with large 
numbers of military-connected families and authorizes reimbursement, up 
to $500 for military spouses' expenses related to obtaining a 
professional license or certification when moving to a new State.
  The committee continues to provide oversight of important programs in 
the bill requiring reviews to ensure the Morale, Welfare, and 
Recreation programs are properly funded to required levels and the 
Department of Defense's debt collection practices are fair and do not 
place undue burdens on servicemembers or their families.
  The bill includes the PRIVATE Act, which I cosponsored with 
Congresswoman Martha McSally and other members of the committee to 
prohibit the wrongful broadcast or distribution of intimate visual 
images and ensure the military services have the tools to prosecute 
those who violate the law.
  The bill also provides support for victims of sexual assault by 
mandating training for Special Victims' Counsel to recognize and 
address unique challenges often faced by male victims of sexual 
assault.
  I am pleased that the bill continues the committee's efforts to 
assist those with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain 
injury, as well as ensuring families are educated on suicide factors 
that are often associated with TBI or post-traumatic stress.
  However, as Ranking Member Smith has said, this NDAA fails to make 
the hard choices and trade-offs that are expected of us. The NDAA goes 
beyond the President's request to provide 2.4 percent pay raises for 
our servicemen and -women, at an additional cost of $200 million, an 
expense simply added to the top line.
  The NDAA also authorizes an increased end strength for the Army at a 
cost of $4 billion, again, simply adding it to the top line. Certainly, 
our troops deserve a pay raise, but the question that must be asked is: 
Where is the money coming from? And on what basis are these decisions 
being made?
  Congress has not received a strategic plan from the Pentagon that 
would inform us on how large the military needs to grow. By just adding 
funding to the NDAA, Congress is not providing the stable, predictive 
funding the military needs. In order to do that, we need to address the 
big elephant in the room, the sequestration and budget control act 
caps.

  The CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentlewoman.
  Ms. SPEIER. Despite all of these additions, the committee was 
unfortunately unable to find the required offsets to fund an extension 
to the Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance to ensure it does not 
expire in May 2018. This falls short of my strong desire, shared by 
other members of the committee, to permanently fix the survivor benefit 
compensation.
  This also amounts to a shameful tax on over 60,000 surviving spouses 
who are already struggling emotionally and financially. While the SSIA 
extension would be an important temporary fix, Congress must make a 
permanent fix to the offset.
  We cannot continue to allow surviving military spouses to suffer from 
our inaction.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds just to make 
two points.
  Number one, President Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009. 
The first national security strategy he submitted was in May of 2010, a 
year-and-a-half later. So I don't think it is completely unreasonable 
that we haven't yet gotten the national security strategy from the new 
administration.
  Secondly, the pay raise for the troops is based on the statutory 
formula which is related to the cost of living. That is where it comes 
from. And it seems to me to say, no, you don't really get what the 
formula says you deserve, is not appropriate.
  Now, the administration did not request it, and the criticism from 
some is that we should not provide it. I think if the formula is wrong, 
we should change it, but if the formula says that is how much the cost 
of living has gone up, we should provide it.
  Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Coffman), the chair of the Subcommittee on 
Personnel.
  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chair, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 2810, 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
  The bill contains significant policy and funding initiatives that 
continue our commitment to maintain military personnel and family 
readiness and address issues important to our troops. The provisions 
contained in this bill provide our warfighters, retirees, and their 
families the necessary pay and benefits to sustain them into today's 
highly stressed force.
  To support these efforts, this bill establishes a fully funded by-law 
pay raise for all of our servicemembers overriding the President's 
ability to reduce the pay raise. After years of lower than by-law pay 
raise requests, it is critical that we continue to give our troops and 
their families the pay increases they deserve.

                              {time}  2000

  The bill increases the end-strengths of our Active Duty, National 
Guard, and Reserve forces, increasing mission readiness while reducing 
the stress and strain on the force and their families.
  The bill further focuses last year's management reform of the 
Military Health System to provide clear responsibility for the delivery 
of healthcare services at military medical treatment facilities and for 
military medical readiness.
  The bill also stops an ill-considered, cost-saving measure that would 
close several U.S. military hospitals overseas. We believe our 
servicemembers and their families should continue to have the best 
medical care possible wherever they serve.
  It also continues to improve sexual assault prevention and response 
by adding a new provision to the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
specifically prohibiting nonconsensual sharing of intimate images, 
expanding Special Victims' Counsel training to include training on the 
unique challenges often

[[Page H5539]]

faced by male victims, and clarifying the process by which a designated 
representative can be appointed by a victim prior to a court-martial.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman from Colorado.
  Mr. COFFMAN. Finally, servicemembers returning to civilian life and 
their spouses are challenged by varying State licensure and 
certification requirements. Rather than imposing a single Federal 
standard on the States, we provide for a $500 reimbursement to defray 
these costs. We ask States to work with the Secretary of Defense to 
develop common standards where possible.
  In conclusion, I want to thank Ms. Speier and her staff for their 
contributions to the mark and support in this process. Of course, we 
were joined by an active, informed, and dedicated group of subcommittee 
members. Their recommendations and priorities are clearly reflected in 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. 
Additionally, I appreciate the dedication and hard work of the 
subcommittee staff.
  Mr. Chairman, I strongly urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 2 
minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Davis).
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I rise to commend the 
dedicated bipartisan work of the House Armed Services Committee in 
recognizing our subcommittee chairs, members, and the staff as well in 
bringing this critical bill to the floor.
  But as it has been stated earlier, the budget numbers that we are 
talking about contained in the bill are, unfortunately, aspirational. 
We have not passed a budget resolution, and the Budget Control Act is 
still the law of the land.
  While it is true that the BCA was a bipartisan failing--we can all 
take credit for that--pointing fingers does not solve the problems. We 
are on an uncertain and dangerous path, one where we have not been 
honest with ourselves on many levels and where we continue to play 
games with our men and women serving in the military.
  We must recognize that the only path to solving these issues is 
bipartisan collaboration and legislation to repeal the BCA. Continuing 
resolutions and unrealistic, deeply partisan budgets amount to nothing 
more than professional malpractice.
  I have to say, Mr. Chairman, that I was encouraged to see that the 
Senate included a proposal similar to the one I introduced during 
markup to continue paying the widows of servicemembers who died in 
defense of our Nation. Their personal compensation is not just a small 
gesture but our fundamental responsibility.
  I am also encouraged by the promise our chairman made regarding this 
issue. He said that the issue ``has to be fixed and will be,'' but 
there are, as he acknowledged as well, ``difficult tradeoffs that have 
to be made.'' I completely agree. We will all have to contribute to the 
solutions. I am prepared to do that, and I know that my colleagues are 
as well. We all have to hope together that we move forward and be 
prepared to do that.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler) who is the distinguished chair of the 
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. I would like to thank 
Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for bringing this 
important bill to the floor.
  As Members of Congress, it is our responsibility to provide support 
for our men and women in uniform while they selflessly serve our 
Nation. This bill takes significant steps to address our military's 
severe readiness crisis by ensuring that our troops have the resources, 
training, and capabilities needed to face the growing threats of today.
  As chairwoman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, I am 
proud of the provisions included in this bill to reform the Foreign 
Military Sales process, provide funding to address the critical 
infrastructure needs of the U.S. Nuclear Security Enterprise, and 
protect our Nation's highly sensitive U.S. military information--
information that our adversaries are actively seeking to exploit.
  This bill is good news for the warfighter. It authorizes 22 
additional F-18 Super Hornets to help fill the Navy's strike fighter 
shortfall and fully funds the B-21 Raider--a critical platform needed 
to deter and defeat future aggression around the world.
  I am proud to represent Missouri's Fourth Congressional District, 
which is home to Whiteman Air Force Base and Fort Leonard Wood. This 
bill funds modernization programs for the B-2 Spirit and authorizes 
phase one of a new hospital facility at Fort Leonard Wood.
  Since arriving to Congress, I have been fighting to address the 
infrastructure needs of our Army ammunition plants, like the one at 
Lake City, which is the sole source for our Army's small caliber ammo. 
These plants are in dire need of modernization, and this bill 
authorizes much-needed funding to help improve these deteriorating 
facilities.

  Thanks to the leadership of Chairman Thornberry, the Armed Services 
Committee increased defense spending to meet the needs of today's 
warfighter. I appreciate the opportunity to work with Ranking Member 
Seth Moulton and all the committee members on this bill. I am proud of 
the bipartisan fashion in which we work, and I urge my colleagues to 
support its passage.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Brown).
  Mr. BROWN of Maryland. Mr. Chairman, first, let me start by thanking 
Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith not only for their 
leadership but the bipartisan collaborative approach to the work of the 
committee.
  Certainly as a new member of the 115th Congress, I find that very 
refreshing. From what I have seen, it is no surprise that 50-plus years 
in a row we have successfully passed the NDAA.
  Mr. Chairman, the United States faces serious security threats: 
aggression from North Korea and Russia, long and costly campaigns in 
Afghanistan and Iraq, and new battlefields in cyberspace and in outer 
space.
  After years of sequestration, there is consensus certainly in the 
House Armed Services Committee that Congress must address readiness 
shortfalls and modernization challenges facing our military. So in the 
NDAA, we made greater investments in training and equipping the forces 
and prioritized projects that extend our technological and warfighting 
edge.
  But increasing defense authorizations and appropriations, absent a 
clear national security strategy, will not make our country safer. We 
need a smart, strategic approach to national security that provides 
clear goals and objectives and that incorporates an all-of-government 
approach. That means not only increasing defense spending, but also 
ensuring funding for the State Department and USAID and reversing 
proposed cuts to nondefense programs that make the world more stable 
and secure.
  We owe it to our servicemen and -women to provide them with both the 
resources to accomplish their mission abroad and to pursue the American 
Dream when they return home, and that is good schools, family-
supporting jobs, and safe neighborhoods. We cannot do one at the 
expense of the other. The long-term success of our country depends on 
that.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Stefanik) who is the distinguished chair 
of the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chairman, today I rise in strong support of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, which 
increases readiness and ensures that those who serve our Nation are 
fully equipped, trained, and supported.
  As the chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and 
Capabilities, I am especially proud of the oversight regarding stronger 
cyber warfare capabilities, safeguarding technological superiority, 
enabling our Special Operations Forces around the

[[Page H5540]]

globe, providing resources and authorities to counter terrorism and 
unconventional warfare threats, and energizing programs and activities 
that counter the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
  Our achievements in cybersecurity carry three broad themes: First, 
the bill increases congressional oversight of cyber operations by 
including a bill introduced by myself, Ranking Member Langevin, 
Chairman Thornberry, and Ranking Member Smith that ensures Congress is 
kept fully informed of sensitive military cyber operations.
  Second, we bolster international partnerships for cyber warfare to 
counter aggressive adversaries, including efforts to counter and 
mitigate adversarial propaganda efforts and information warfare 
campaigns.
  Third, the bill continues to build and enhance our U.S. cyber warfare 
capabilities and activities.
  Furthermore, Mr. Chairman, this bill reinforces counterterrorism and 
unconventional warfare capabilities by fully resourcing U.S. Special 
Operations Command's programs and activities and increasing 
congressional oversight of intelligence activities.
  Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Rogers, chairman of the Strategic 
Forces Subcommittee, for including language that supports the decision 
for a future East Coast missile defense site.
  I would like to thank Mr. Coffman, chairman of the Military Personnel 
Subcommittee, for including portions of my bill, the Lift the 
Relocation Burden From Military Spouses Act.
  Before I conclude, I would like to thank Chairman Mac Thornberry for 
his leadership, as well as my subcommittee ranking member, Congressman 
Jim Langevin of Rhode Island, for his bipartisan energy and cooperation 
on all of these issues.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 2810.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire as to how much 
time remains on each side.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has 9\1/2\ minutes 
remaining. The gentleman from Texas has 8 minutes remaining.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bacon) who is a valued member of the 
committee and a retired Air Force General.
  Mr. BACON. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in staunch support of the 
National Defense Authorization Act of 2018.
  I served in the military under the past five Presidents starting with 
Ronald Reagan and witnessed firsthand the erosion of our combat edge. 
When I joined the military, we out-trained our competitors with a 2-to-
1 flying-hour advantage. Today, we are lagging behind them in training, 
and it is unconscionable to send our warriors to fight without every 
possible advantage. We don't want a close fight, but that is where we 
are at today.

  As a General Officer, I was charged with preparing our forces to 
prevail over any adversary, a nearly impossible task given the damage 
done by a 22 percent reduction of defense spending over the last 8 
years while we are at war. This act will begin to right the ship with a 
10 percent top-line increase providing the means to rebuild readiness, 
deter aggression, and defeat adversaries. It invests in peace through 
strength.
  The Constitution charges this body with the power to provide for the 
common defense. For the Armed Services Committee, this is a solemn 
obligation rooted in over 50 years of bipartisanship, and we meet this 
obligation with the 2018 NDAA.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge support.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Knight) who is another very valuable 
member of our committee.
  Mr. KNIGHT. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of H.R. 2810, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. This bill is 
the result of mindful deliberation and absolute dedication to our 
Nation's soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. I am proud to be 
standing here with fellow members of the Armed Services Committee and 
speak to the merits of this legislation.
  In particular, the acquisition reforms in this bill will help get 
proven, advanced equipment in the hands of servicemembers faster and 
for a better price. This bill brings much-needed innovation to the way 
defense acquisition personnel spend taxpayer dollars and the way 
commercial businesses engage with the U.S. Government.
  It prioritizes oversight of service contracts. This type of contract 
accounts for over 50 percent of DOD contract expenditures, which up to 
now was unclear and unanalyzed. It will help secure a better value for 
precious dollars spent through reforms in the contract auditing 
process.
  The small-business industrial base is a critical part of DOD 
procurement. Our small businesses have a unique ability to strengthen 
our contracting process by driving innovation and competition in the 
marketplace. It is important that we create opportunities for these 
contractors and strengthen entrepreneurial development programs and 
help eliminate barriers of entry and diversify our industrial base.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney) who is the ranking member of 
the Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces.
  Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Chairman, I thank Mr. Smith for yielding and 
compliments to him and Chairman Thornberry for the outstanding work, 
again, that the two of them have collaborated on to keep this really 
massive undertaking on schedule. It is really a very truncated schedule 
this year, but they both did it. Again, it is kudos to both of them in 
terms of their leadership skills.
  Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the 2018 NDAA. Front and 
center in our deliberations in the Seapower and Projection Forces 
Subcommittee on which I serve with Chairman Wittman, who is in his 
first term and did an outstanding job, was the build-up of our Navy 
fleet which has been a multiyear process of strategic planning.

                              {time}  2015

  In December of last year, the prior Navy secretary, Ray Mabus, who 
served in the prior administration, released an updated force structure 
assessment that laid out the requirement for increasing the Navy's 
fleet from 308 ships to 355.
  Then, in January, Navy officials outlined a plan to get us on a 
construction plan to get us on a path to a larger fleet. In early May, 
the chief of naval operations emphasized that ``time is of the 
essence'' in growing the Navy.
  The stage was set to get started on the larger fleet. That was why so 
many of us were surprised on May 23 and disappointed when the White 
House sent over basically a 308-ship budget for a 355-ship fleet.
  I am proud to say that, on a bipartisan basis, we have done much 
better in this bill than the budget that came over. Among other things, 
the bill explicitly makes it the policy of our Nation to achieve a 355-
ship Navy. We add five additional ships in 2018, for a total of 12, to 
get us moving to the larger fleet that the prior administration and the 
new administration know that we need.
  One area I am particularly proud of is the area of undersea forces. 
Reflecting the urgent testimony of our combatant commanders, our panel 
once again led the way in forging an aggressive but realistic plan to 
grow our submarine fleet.
  To achieve this, our bill authorizes multiyear procurement authority 
for 13 Virginia class attack submarines for the next 5 years. Not only 
would this keep us at the two-a-year level we have been on for the last 
few years, but would go even further by reaching a three-submarine 
build rate in the coming years.
  The seapower portion of the bill does much more to support a range of 
priorities on the seas and in the skies, far too many to itemize here 
today.
  I will just say that I am proud of the bipartisan contribution of all 
of our subcommittee members into the product before the House today, 
and, again, Mr. Wittman for his first year as subcommittee chairman.
  In particular, I want to highlight the work of our subcommittee staff 
in

[[Page H5541]]

helping us craft the bill. I am joined here today by one of my staff, 
Stephen Clement, who has been working with us, but he is going to be 
moving on to better things. I want to publicly thank him for his 
outstanding work in terms of helping us get to the place we are here 
today.
  In closing, I would urge my colleagues to support the Defense 
Authorization bill.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Banks), a valuable member of our committee who continues 
to serve our Nation in the Reserves.
  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Chair, I rise today to express my strong 
support for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2018.
  As the most recently deployed veteran serving in Congress, serving in 
Afghanistan just 2 years ago, I know the national security challenges 
facing our country firsthand. While these challenges are not easily 
solved, this legislation represents a significant step forward.
  I want to take a moment and specifically thank Chairman Thornberry 
for his leadership and assistance to myself and other freshman members 
of the committee.
  Working together with colleagues on both sides of the aisle, the 
Armed Services Committee has crafted a bill focused on rebuilding and 
reforming the Department of Defense. By procuring what we need, fixing 
what we already have, and by being good stewards of the taxpayers' 
dollars by proposing new contract audit reforms, this bill begins the 
hard work of getting our Department back on the right track.
  While we cannot control the existential threats facing our Nation, we 
must ensure those in uniform are ready to address those threats when 
necessary.
  Moreover, as this week's tragic C-130 accident that claimed the lives 
of 16 servicemembers reminded all Americans, our servicemembers place 
their lives on the line each day.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman.
  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. From giving our troops a well-deserved raise to 
funding our vital missile defense programs, I believe this legislation 
begins the process of rebuilding and reforming our military so we are 
ready for whatever comes next.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. Chair, what I really want to focus on is the budget problem, 
because that is really underlying all of this.
  We have heard a lot of good speeches from Members talking about what 
is in this bill, how important it is, how what is in this bill is 
attempting both to meet our national security threats and, as 
importantly, to make sure that we take care of the men and women who 
serve our military, who fight to protect us to make sure, first of all, 
that they and their families are taken care of from a financial 
standpoint, but also to make sure they have the equipment and training 
they need to be ready to fight the fights that we ask them to go to. I 
think that is one of the great challenges.
  Whatever it is we decide ought to be our national security strategy, 
I think the thing we all agree on is we need to make sure we provide 
the training, equipment, and support so that the men and women who 
serve in the military are ready for that fight.
  The worst thing we can do is create a hollow force and set up an 
expectation that: You need to do all of this, but we are only going to 
train you for that. So if this other stuff comes up, you are not going 
to be ready.
  We have talked about this a lot in our committee to make sure that we 
are ready for the fight that comes. And that is where the budget 
creates a very significant problem.
  We have talked a lot about the Budget Control Act and sequestration. 
It is pretty clear why we had the Budget Control Act and sequestration. 
I was here for it. We were days away from not raising the debt ceiling 
and basically not meeting our commitments to pay our bills. There are 
those who figure that that can be a significant problem.

  So we made an agreement. We were going to try to get the budget under 
control. Sequestration was put in place, with the expectation that it 
wouldn't be implemented because we would come to a grand bargain on 
revenue and spending that would get our deficit under control. Well, we 
didn't, and sequestration kicked in.
  But as we sit here today, even if we got rid of sequestration, even 
if we got rid of the budget caps, we are still $20 trillion in debt. We 
are going to run a $700 billion deficit. This is projected to go 
nowhere but up in the years ahead. I don't believe that is sustainable.
  Now, I don't think we need to balance the budget tomorrow or next 
year or even in the next 5 years, but we need to get ourselves on a 
sustainable path. And we flat refuse to do that.
  You don't see a lot of campaigns promising to cut specific programs 
or promising to raise taxes. I love the fact that if you poll the 
American people, there is a very clear consensus on what they think we 
ought to do about this problem.
  First of all, somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 percent of them 
support a balanced budget now, by the way. Not 5, 10 years, but right 
now.
  You ask them: Well, here are all the places where the government 
spends money. What would you like to cut?
  The answer to that question is: nothing. Literally nothing.
  The Pew Research folks do a poll on this every year, and in every 
single category a majority of people would rather keep the money the 
same or increase it, as opposed to decrease it.
  Of course, if you ask them what taxes they would like to increase, by 
and large, they don't want to increase taxes. It is interesting. If you 
can convince people that the taxes in question will not apply to them, 
for a brief moment they will be supportive of it. But then someone will 
come along and convince them that at some point it might apply to them, 
and then they oppose it.
  So our task as Members of Congress is to balance the budget without 
raising taxes or cutting spending. That, of course, is impossible. So 
what we have chosen to do is put off that decision for as long as is 
humanly possible.
  That is why we do not have a budget resolution. Any budget resolution 
this body could create would fail on probably multiple fronts of what 
the public expects. It wouldn't balance the budget. It would cut 
spending they didn't want to cut. It probably wouldn't raise taxes, 
coming from this majority, but if it did, it wouldn't be popular. So we 
have to start having an honest conversation about the budget.
  We hear in the Armed Services Committee all the time about all the 
needs, all the shortfalls, all the critical things we need to do. We 
argue about it and argue about it, but in 6 years the Republican 
majority has not put forward a plan to control mandatory spending. They 
say that is the problem. No plan to do that. Certainly, they haven't 
even considered the possibility of increasing revenue.
  If we are this serious--and we should be--about making sure that we 
have the funds necessary to provide an adequate national security, then 
we should stop cowering from the budget debate.
  Personally, I am all for raising taxes because I see the needs that 
the chairman and everybody else has described, and I am actually 
prepared to pay for them. So we need to do that. That overarching 
budget problem is what has put us in this mess.
  As we talk about this bill, as I said, it is $72 billion over the 
budget caps. Unless we get a vote to lift those budget caps--which I 
just mentioned is politically unpopular, which is why we haven't done 
it for the full 6 months we have been in session this year--then that 
$72 billion goes away and the Pentagon is back in chaos.
  So this may be a good bill. It may be solid. It doesn't have the 
backing of the budget.
  Let me finally suggest that there are some things that the Department 
of Defense could do. This is why the strategy is so important.
  Yes, the Obama administration waited until May of 2010. They didn't 
have 6 years of CRs and government shutdowns and threatened shutdowns 
and the changing threat environment that we have. They had a reasonably 
consistent set of problems. It was a set of problems, but they had the 
same Secretary of Defense from the previous administration. They had 
time to look at that.

[[Page H5542]]

  We need this strategy urgently because the big question is: Are we 
spending the money correctly? Is the Department of Defense spending the 
money in the right way? Do we have a strategy to figure out how we 
should prioritize?
  We don't. With this crushing budget environment, it is absolutely 
critical that we do. We need to consider the possibility, for instance, 
that we might be spending some money that we shouldn't be spending.
  I will often ask that question of the generals who come over and tell 
us how short they are of everything. I say: Well, where are we spending 
money, in your opinion, that we shouldn't be?
  They never answer the question. You cannot tell me in a $700 billion 
budget in a place as large as the Pentagon that there isn't somebody 
over there who knows to say: Look, we shouldn't be doing this.
  Just to give one suggestion, we have had the BRAC debate forever. We 
have had a shrinking military, yet we have maintained the same 
infrastructure. We have seen study after study from the Air Force and 
others about how much excess capacity they have and money that could be 
saved from doing that. But again this year, for, I submit, political 
reasons, BRAC is prohibited.
  So we need to get a lot smarter about how we are going to spend this 
money and a lot smarter about our budget if this bill is actually going 
to become reality.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Chairman, as usual, the gentleman from Washington makes a number 
of good points.
  We absolutely need to have national security based on a strategy and 
fund that strategy. There are many of us who would argue that is not 
what has happened in recent years.
  I would just point out it was not only President Obama, but also 
President Bush and President Clinton. None of them provided a national 
security strategy in the first year that they were in office. I have 
tremendous confidence in Secretary Mattis, among others on the national 
security team. I believe they are looking at these issues and will 
provide us with a strategy.
  The gentleman is also absolutely correct when he points out that the 
Defense Authorization bill is only one step in the process. There are 
many more steps to come.
  I think we will have a budget on this floor to vote on shortly. I 
also expect that we are going to have appropriations to vote on at some 
point in the coming weeks. I also believe that we are going to have the 
opportunity to vote on dealing with the sequestration caps, which, by 
the way, the administration and I think most of us in the House and I 
presume most in the other body as well are in favor of doing away with 
because they have not been successful in accomplishing the goal for 
which they were put in place.
  So there are clearly many more debates to have on other days. What we 
have this week on the floor before us is the Defense Authorization 
bill. And it is our obligation to authorize the things that the 
military needs.
  I want to go back to the point that Mr. Banks made a few minutes ago. 
These are life-and-death decisions. Our hearts break, our prayers go 
out to the families of the 15 marines and the one sailor who lost their 
lives Monday of this week in the plane crash in Mississippi, just as 
our hearts go out and our prayers continue for the family members of 
the seven sailors who lost their lives off of Japan a few weeks ago.
  What it reminds us is exactly what Mr. Banks said: this is a 
dangerous business, even on training mission, even on routine 
deployments. The men and women who volunteer to serve our country to 
protect us and to secure our freedoms deserve the very best our country 
can provide them. That is the goal of this bill: support the men and 
women who serve us and to further the national security of the United 
States.
  You have heard from both sides of the aisle about many good things 
that are in this bill. We are going to go through a lot of amendments 
over the next several days. But at the end of the day, the point is, 
even with the good, the bad, and the ugly that gets put in this bill, 
to support the men and women who serve by voting ``yes,'' and I hope my 
colleagues will do that.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I ask that the following exchange of 
letters be included in the Record on H.R. 2810:

         Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of 
                                                  Representatives,
                                     Washington, DC, July 5, 2017.
     Hon. William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
     Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Thornberry: I write concerning H.R. 2810, the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, as 
     amended. There are certain provisions in the legislation that 
     fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure.
       However, in order to expedite this legislation for floor 
     consideration, the Committee will forgo action on this bill. 
     This, of course, is conditional on our mutual understanding 
     that forgoing consideration of the bill does not prejudice 
     the Committee with respect to the appointment of conferees or 
     to any future jurisdictional claim over the subject matters 
     contained in the bill or similar legislation that fall within 
     the Committee's Rule X jurisdiction. I request you urge the 
     Speaker to name members of the Committee to any conference 
     committee named to consider such provisions.
       Please place a copy of this letter and your response 
     acknowledging our jurisdictional interest into the committee 
     report on H.R. 2810 and into the Congressional Record during 
     consideration of the measure on the House floor.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Bill Shuster,
                                                         Chairman.

                                      Committee on Armed Services,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, July 5, 2017.
     Hon. Bill Shuster,
     Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, 
         House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 
     2810, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2018. I agree that the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure has valid jurisdictional claims to certain 
     provisions in this important legislation, and I am most 
     appreciative of your decision not to request a referral in 
     the interest of expediting consideration of the bill. I agree 
     that by foregoing a sequential referral, the Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure is not waiving its 
     jurisdiction. Further, this exchange of letters will be 
     included in the committee report on the bill.
           Sincerely,
                                    William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
                                                         Chairman.
                                  ____
                                  
                                         House of Representatives,


                               Committee on Veterans' Affairs,

                                    Washington, DC, June 30, 2017.
     Hon. William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
     Chairman, Committee on Armed Services, House of 
         Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Thornberry: I write to confirm our mutual 
     understanding regarding H.R. 2810, the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. This legislation 
     contains subject matter within the jurisdiction of the 
     Veterans' Affairs Committee. However, in order to expedite 
     floor consideration of this important legislation, the 
     committee waives consideration of the bill.
       The Veterans' Affairs Committee takes this action only with 
     the understanding that the committee's jurisdictional 
     interests over this and similar legislation are in no way 
     diminished or altered.
       The committee also reserves the right to seek appointment 
     to any House-Senate conference on this legislation and 
     requests your support if such a request is made. Finally, I 
     would appreciate your including this letter in the 
     Congressional Record during consideration of H.R. 2810 on the 
     House Floor. Thank you for your attention to these matters.
           Sincerely,
                                               David P. Roe, M.D.,

                                     Washington, DC, July 5, 2017.
     Hon. David P. Roe, M.D.
     Chairman, Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of 
         Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 
     2810, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2018. I agree that the Committee on Veterans' Affairs has

                                    William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
                                                         Chairman.

  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of our nation's 
servicemembers, military families, and community colleges in support of 
the National Defense Authorization Act.

[[Page H5543]]

  The 2018 NDAA supports our men and women in uniform by providing a 
much deserved 2.4 percent pay increase and extending special pay and 
bonuses for servicemembers. This bill further supports military 
families by prohibiting the proposed reduction in inpatient care for 
military medical treatment facilities located outside the United 
States, and will provide up to $500 for a spouse's expense related to 
obtaining a license or certification in another state because of a 
military move.
  Our nation's military is one of the major economic drivers for the 
State of Texas. Texas is home to several of America's largest military 
bases, including Fort Hood in Killeen, Fort Bliss in El Paso, and Joint 
Base San Antonio. Texas is also home to major defense manufacturing 
facilities that help our servicemembers protect America and employ 
thousands of hardworking Texans.
  The NDAA includes a provision, Section 3507, that will authorize the 
U.S. Maritime Administration to designate and provide assistance to 
certain community colleges and workforce training centers as ``centers 
of excellence'' that provide valuable skills in the maritime sector.
  This language will help community colleges, like San Jacinto College, 
in our district in Harris County, Texas, that provides a modern, 
comprehensive training program for working in our maritime industry. 
San Jacinto College works closely with Houston's maritime community and 
the Port of Houston, and recently opened a state-of-the-art maritime 
training center last year.
  This provision is modeled after legislation I introduced with Rep. 
Robert Wittman earlier this year, the Domestic Maritime Centers of 
Excellence Act (H.R. 2286). I hope our colleagues will support our 
Centers of Excellence provision and ensure its inclusion when the NDAA 
reaches the President's desk.
  I ask all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in 
supporting the National Defense Authorization Act.
  The CHAIR. All time for general debate has expired.
  Pursuant to the rule, the bill shall be considered for amendment 
under the 5-minute rule.
  In lieu of the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by 
the Committee on Armed Services, printed in the bill, an amendment in 
the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules Committee 
Print 115-23, modified by the amendment printed in part A of House 
Report 115-212, is adopted. The bill, as amended, shall be considered 
as an original bill for the purpose of further amendment under the 5-
minute rule and shall be considered as read.
  The text of the bill, as amended, is a follows:

     SEC. 111. REPORT ON ACCELERATION OF INCREMENT 2 OF THE 
                   WARFIGHTER INFORMATION NETWORK-TACTICAL.

       (a) Report.--Not later than January 30, 2018, the Secretary 
     of the Army shall submit to the congressional defense

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs

     SEC. 121. AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.

       (a) Sense of Congress on Increase in Number of Operational 
     Aircraft Carriers.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (A) Aircraft carriers are an essential element of the 
     Navy's core missions of forward presence, sea control, 
     ensuring safe sea lanes, and power projection, and provide 
     the flexibility and versatility necessary for the execution 
     of a wide range of additional missions.
       (B) Forward airpower is integral to the security and joint 
     forces operations of the United States. Carriers play a 
     central role in delivering forward airpower from sovereign 
     territory of the United States in both permissive and 
     nonpermissive environments.
       (C) Aircraft carriers provide the Nation the ability to 
     rapidly and decisively respond to national threats, to 
     conduct worldwide, on-station diplomacy, and to deter threats 
     to allies, partners, and friends of the United States.
       (D) Since the end of the cold war, aircraft carrier 
     deployments have increased while the aircraft carrier force 
     structure has declined.
       (E) Due to the increased array of complex threats across 
     the globe, the Navy's aircraft carriers are operating at 
     maximum capacity, increasing deployment lengths and 
     decreasing maintenance periods in order to meet operational 
     requirements.
       (F) To meet global peacetime and wartime requirements, the 
     Navy has indicated a requirement to maintain two aircraft 
     carriers deployed overseas and to have three additional 
     aircraft carriers capable of deploying within 90 days. 
     However, the Navy has indicated that the existing aircraft 
     carrier force structure cannot support these military 
     requirements.
       (G) Despite the requirement to maintain an aircraft carrier 
     strike group in both the United States Central Command and 
     the United States Pacific Command, the Navy has been unable 
     to generate sufficient capacity to support combatant 
     commanders and has developed significant carrier gaps in 
     these critical areas.
       (H) The continued use of a diminished aircraft carrier 
     force structure has resulted in extensive maintenance 
     availabilities which typically exceed program costs and 
     increase time in shipyards. These expansive maintenance 
     availabilities exacerbate existing carrier gaps.
       (I) Because of maintenance overhaul extensions, the Navy is 
     truncating basic aircraft carrier training to expedite the 
     deployment of available aircraft carriers. Limiting aircraft 
     carrier training decreases operational capabilities and 
     increases risks to sailors.
       (J) Despite the objections of the Navy, the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 
     directed the Navy on August 7, 2015, to perform shock trials 
     on the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78). The Assistant Deputy 
     Chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans and Strategy 
     indicated that this action could delay the introduction of 
     the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) to the fleet by up to two 
     years, exacerbating existing carrier gaps.

[[Page H5550]]

       (K) The Navy has adopted a two-phase acquisition strategy 
     for the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), an action that will 
     delay the introduction of this aircraft carrier by up to two 
     years, exacerbating existing carrier gaps.
       (L) Developing an alternative design to the Ford class 
     aircraft carrier is not cost beneficial. A smaller design is 
     projected to incur significant design and engineering cost 
     while significantly reducing magazine size, carrier air wing 
     size, sortie rate, and on-station effectiveness among other 
     vital factors as compared to the Ford class. Furthermore, a 
     new design will delay the introduction of future aircraft 
     carriers, exacerbating existing carrier gaps and threatening 
     the national security of the United States.
       (M) The 2016 Navy Force Structure Assessment states ``A 
     minimum of 12 aircraft carriers are required to meet the 
     increased warfighting response requirements of the Defense 
     Planning Guidance Defeat/Deny force sizing direction.'' 
     Furthermore, a new National Defense Strategy is being 
     prepared that will assess the defeat/deny force sizing 
     direction and may increase the force structure associated 
     with aircraft carriers.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (A) the United States should expedite delivery of 12 
     aircraft carriers;
       (B) an aircraft carrier should be authorized every three 
     years;
       (C) shock trials should be conducted on the U.S.S. John F. 
     Kennedy (CVN-79), as initially proposed by the Navy;
       (D) construction for the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) 
     should be accomplished in a single phase; and
       (E) the United States should continue the Ford class design 
     for the aircraft carrier designated CVN-81.
       (b) Increase in Number of Operational Aircraft Carriers.--
       (1) Increase.--Section 5062(b) of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended by striking ``11 operational aircraft 
     carriers'' and inserting ``12 operational aircraft 
     carriers''.
       (2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1) 
     shall take effect on September 30, 2023.
       (c) Shock Trials for CVN-78.--Section 128 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92; 129 Stat. 751) is amended--
       (1) by striking subsections (a) and (b); and
       (2) by redesignating subsections (c) and (d) as subsections 
     (a) and (b), respectively.
       (d) Procurement Authority for Aircraft Carrier Programs.--
       (1) Procurement authority in support of construction of 
     ford class aircraft carriers.--
       (A) Authority for economic order quantity.--The Secretary 
     of the Navy may procure materiel and equipment in support of 
     the construction of the Ford class aircraft carriers 
     designated CVN-81 and CVN-82 in economic order quantities 
     when cost savings are achievable.
       (B) Liability.--Any contract entered into under 
     subparagraph (A) shall provide that any obligation of the 
     United States to make a payment under the contract is subject 
     to the availability of appropriations for that purpose, and 
     that total liability to the Government for termination of any 
     contract entered into shall be limited to the total amount of 
     funding obligated at time of termination.
       (2) Refueling and complex overhaul of nimitz class aircraft 
     carriers.--
       (A) In general.--The Secretary of the Navy may carry out 
     the nuclear refueling and complex overhaul of each of the 
     following Nimitz class aircraft carriers:
       (i) U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74).

       (B) Use of incremental funding.--With respect to any 
     contract entered into under subparagraph (A) for the nuclear 
     refueling and complex overhaul of a Nimitz class aircraft 
     carrier, the Secretary may use incremental funding for a 
     period not to exceed six years after advance procurement 
     funds for such nuclear refueling and complex overhaul effort 
     are first obligated.
       (C) Condition for out-year contract payments.--Any contract 
     entered into under subparagraph (A) shall provide that any 
     obligation of the United States to make a payment under the 
     contract for a fiscal year after fiscal year 2018 is subject 
     to the availability of appropriations for that purpose for 
     that later fiscal year.

     SEC. 131. STREAMLINING ACQUISITION OF INTERCONTINENTAL 
                   BALLISTIC MISSILE SECURITY CAPABILITY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) On September 25, 2014, then Secretary of the Air Force, 
     Deborah Lee James, submitted a report to Congress on the 
     replacement strategy of the Air Force for the UH-1N 
     helicopter, which included the following information:
       (A) On the age of the airframe: ``The UH-1N is a versatile 
     utility helicopter that was accepted into service from 1968-
     1969.''.
       (B) On the ability to meet requirements: ``The entire fleet 
     supports five general homeland security missions. . .The 
     ability of the UH-1N to accomplish these missions was 
     evaluated in 2006, and the aircraft was found to be `not 
     effective.' The shortcomings of the UH-1N were derived from 
     specific mission requirements for carrying capacity, 
     airspeed, unrefueled endurance, mission range, force 
     protection for the floor, specific protection for all aircrew 
     and passengers, survivability, and materiel availability.''.
       (C) Regarding previous efforts to acquire a replacement 
     aircraft, the report identified efforts that date back to 
     2006, including--
       (i) an initial analysis of alternatives by Air Force Space 
     Command in 2006;
       (ii) the common vertical lift support platform program, 
     which was cancelled in 2013;
       (iii) two RAND corporation studies funded in 2013; and
       (iv) the then-current proposal of the Air Force to procure 
     modified Army UH-60 helicopters.
       (2) On February 24, 2016, at a hearing before the Committee 
     on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, in 
     response to concerns related to lift, capacity, and hover 
     time of the UH-1N, then Commander of the United States 
     Strategic Command, Admiral Cecil Haney stated: ``Congressman, 
     absolutely, in terms of thinking very crisply associated with 
     what we need to do to improve security of our missile fields. 
     . . the attributes you listed are the attributes that concern 
     me in terms of the capability, not just now, but into the 
     future.''.
       (3) On March 2, 2016, at a hearing before the Committee on 
     Armed Services of the House of Representatives, the Commander 
     of Air Force Global Strike Command, General Robin Rand 
     stated: ``We will not meet the emergency security response 
     with the present helicopter.''.
       (4) On April 4, 2017, at a hearing before the Committee on 
     Armed Services of the Senate, the Commander of the United 
     States Strategic Command, General John E. Hyten stated: ``Of 
     all the things in my portfolio, I can't even describe how 
     upset I get about the helicopter replacement program. It's a 
     helicopter, for gosh sakes. We ought to be able to go out and 
     buy a helicopter and put it in the hands of the people that 
     need it. And we should be able to do that quickly. We've been 
     building combat helicopters for a long time in this country. 
     I don't understand why the heck it is so hard to buy a 
     helicopter.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     based on the findings under subsection (a), the Secretary of 
     Defense should have the authority to expedite the procurement 
     of a replacement aircraft for the UH-1N helicopter.
       (c) Waiver and Contract Authority.--Subject to subsection 
     (d), in procuring a replacement aircraft for the UH-1N 
     helicopter, the Secretary of Defense may--
       (1) waive any provision of law requiring the use of 
     competitive procedures for the procurement; and
       (2) enter into a contract for the procurement on a sole-
     source basis.
       (d) Notice and Certification.--Not later than 15 days 
     before exercising the authority under subsection (c), the 
     Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees, in writing--
       (1) notice of the intent of the Secretary to exercise such 
     authority; and
       (2) a certification that--
       (A) the Secretary has reviewed--
       (i) the threshold requirements for the UH-1N replacement 
     aircraft program; and
       (ii) any delays that may have occurred while the Air Force 
     pursued strategies for the procurement of such aircraft on an 
     other than sole-source basis; and
       (B) after conducting such review, the Secretary has 
     determined that entering into a contract on a sole-source 
     basis under subsection (c)--
       (i) is in the national security interests of the United 
     States; and
       (ii) is necessary to ensure that a UH-1N replacement 
     aircraft enters service by not later than September 30, 2020.

     SEC. 336. REPORT ON EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON DEPARTMENT 
                   OF DEFENSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Secretary of Defense James Mattis has stated: ``It is 
     appropriate for the Combatant Commands to incorporate drivers 
     of instability that impact the security environment in their 
     areas into their planning.''.
       (2) Secretary of Defense James Mattis has stated: ``I agree 
     that the effects of a changing climate -- such as increased 
     maritime access to the Arctic, rising sea levels, 
     desertification, among others -- impact our security 
     situation.''.
       (3) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford 
     has stated: ``It's a question, once again, of being forward 
     deployed, forward engaged, and be in a position to respond to 
     the kinds of natural disasters that I think we see as a 
     second or third order effect of climate change.''.
       (4) Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has stated: 
     ``Over the next 20 years and more, certain pressures-
     population, energy, climate, economic, environmental-could 
     combine with rapid cultural, social, and technological change 
     to produce new sources of deprivation, rage, and 
     instability.''.
       (5) Former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Gordon Sullivan 
     has stated: ``Climate change is a national security issue. We 
     found that climate instability will lead to instability in 
     geopolitics and impact American military operations around 
     the world.''.
       (6) The Office of the Director of National Intelligence 
     (ODNI) has stated: ``Many countries will encounter climate-
     induced disruptions--such as weather-related disasters, 
     drought, famine, or damage to infrastructure--that stress 
     their capacity to respond, cope with, or adapt. Climate-
     related impacts will also contribute to increased migration, 
     which can be particularly disruptive if, for example, demand 
     for food and shelter outstrips the resources available to 
     assist those in need.''.
       (7) The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has stated: 
     ``DOD links changes in precipitation patterns with potential 
     climate change impacts such as changes in the number of 
     consecutive days of high or low precipitation as well as 
     increases in the extent and duration of droughts, with an 
     associated increase in the risk of wildfire. . . this may 
     result in mission vulnerabilities such as reduced live-fire 
     training due to drought and increased wildfire risk.''.
       (8) A three-foot rise in sea levels will threaten the 
     operations of more than 128 United States military sites, and 
     it is possible that many of these at-risk bases could be 
     submerged in the coming years.
       (9) As global temperatures rise, droughts and famines can 
     lead to more failed states, which are breeding grounds of 
     extremist and terrorist organizations.
       (10) In the Marshall Islands, an Air Force radar 
     installation built on an atoll at a cost of $1,000,000,000 is 
     projected to be underwater within two decades.
       (11) In the western United States, drought has amplified 
     the threat of wildfires, and floods have damaged roads, 
     runways, and buildings on military bases.
       (12) In the Arctic, the combination of melting sea ice, 
     thawing permafrost, and sea-level rise is eroding shorelines, 
     which is damaging radar and communication installations, 
     runways, seawalls, and training areas.
       (13) In the Yukon Training Area, units conducting artillery 
     training accidentally started a wildfire despite observing 
     the necessary practices during red flag warning conditions.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) climate change is a direct threat to the national 
     security of the United States and is impacting stability in 
     areas of the world both where the United States Armed Forces 
     are operating today, and where strategic implications for 
     future conflict exist;
       (2) there are complexities in quantifying the cost of 
     climate change on mission resiliency, but the Department of 
     Defense must ensure that it is prepared to conduct operations 
     both today and in the future and that it is prepared to 
     address the effects of a changing climate on threat 
     assessments, resources, and readiness; and
       (3) military installations must be able to effectively 
     prepare to mitigate climate damage in their master planning 
     and infrastructure planning and design, so that they might 
     best consider the weather and natural resources most 
     pertinent to them.
       (c) Report.--
       (1) Report required.--Not later than one year after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives a report on 
     vulnerabilities to military installations and combatant 
     commander requirements resulting from climate change over the 
     next 20 years.
       (2) Elements.--The report on vulnerabilities to military 
     installations and combatant commander requirements required 
     by paragraph (1) shall include the following:
       (A) A list of the ten most vulnerable military 
     installations within each service based on the effects of 
     rising sea tides, increased flooding, drought, 
     desertification, wildfires, thawing permafrost, and any other 
     categories the Secretary determines necessary.
       (B) An overview of mitigations that may be necessary to 
     ensure the continued operational viability and to increase 
     the resiliency of the identified vulnerable military

     considering projected reductions in such basic allowance for 
     housing, which compares projected revenue under the 
     assumption that members of the armed forces will make out-of-

     that members will not make such out-of-pocket payments.
       (3) An analysis of the extent to which the Department of 
     Defense has relied and continues to rely on the assumption 
     that members of the armed forces who live in housing units 
     acquired or constructed under the MHPI will make out-of-
     pocket payments in addition to basic rent in order to offset 
     reductions in such basic housing allowance.
       (4) An analysis of the future military construction costs 
     that will be necessary to offset reduced reinvestment account 
     distributions as a result of reductions in such basic housing 
     allowance, consistent with the requirement included in 
     project ground leases under the MHPI that all assets will be 
     in like-new condition at the end of the lease.
       (5) The impact on maintenance of housing units acquired or 
     constructed under the MHPI because of the reductions in 
     revenue for the MHPI that will result from reductions in such 
     basic housing allowance.
       (6) The impacts of the costs described in paragraph (4) and 
     the reduction in revenue described in paragraph (5) on 
     occupancy and revenue generated by occupancy under the MHPI, 
     and the impact of changes in occupancy and associated revenue 
     on the costs described in paragraph (4) and the reduction in 
     revenue described in paragraph (5).
       (7) The process for establishing the criteria for and the 
     execution of market surveys used to establish the rates of 
     such basic housing allowance.

       (a) Findings; Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (A) The force management level policy that previously 
     restricted the total number of members of the Armed Forces of 
     the United States deployed to Afghanistan increased the cost 
     of operations in Afghanistan.
       (B) The restriction meant that the Department of Defense 
     had to substitute available military personnel for costlier 
     contract support.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Department of Defense should discourage the practice of 
     substituting contractor personnel for available members of 
     the Armed Forces when a unit deploys overseas and should 
     revise this practice as it pertains to unit deployment to 
     Afghanistan.
       (b) Briefing.--Not later than March 31, 2018, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall provide to the congressional defense 
     committees a briefing detailing--
       (1) the steps that the Secretary is taking to revise 
     deployment guidelines to ensure that readiness, unit 
     cohesion, and maintenance are prioritized; and
       (2) the plan of the Secretary to establish a policy that 
     will avoid to the extent practicable these costly practices 
     in the future.

     SEC. 1036. RESTRICTION ON USE OF CERTAIN FUNDS PENDING 
                   SOLICITATION OF BIDS FOR WESTERN PACIFIC DRY 
                   DOCK.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Following closure of the Department of the Navy ship 
     repair facility in Guam in 1997 following the Base 
     Realignment and Closure round of 1995, operation of the 
     facility was turned over to a private company.
       (2) While streamlining operations, resulting in savings to 
     the Navy of approximately $38,000,000 each year, the company 
     was able to maintain the depot-level capabilities of the 
     facility with dry-docking capability that had existed in Apra 
     Harbor since World War II.
       (3) From 1997 to 2012, the private operator successfully 
     performed 28 major overhauls with dry-dockings of Navy, 
     Military Sealift Command, and Coast Guard vessels, 27 mid-
     term availabilities, as well as the emergency dry-docking of 
     USS San Francisco (SSN-711) after the nuclear powered 
     submarine collided with a seamount off the coast of Guam in 
     2005.
       (4) While the privately owned dry-dock, Machinist, was 
     undergoing upgrades and refurbishment in 2013, the Navy 
     announced that it would split the long-standing depot-level 
     capability in Guam into two pieces, awarding an initial 
     contract for pier-side ship repair, to be followed by a 
     contract for dry-dock ship repair.
       (5) At this time, the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     House of Representatives, including the Delegate from Guam, 
     as well as the Governor of Guam, objected to this plan, and a 
     conditional agreement was made wherein the Navy committed to 
     restoring dry-docking capabilities expeditiously following 
     issuance of the pier-side contract.
       (6) Despite repeated requests from the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives, the Delegate from 
     Guam, and the Governor of Guam over the past four years, the 
     Secretary of the Navy has failed to issue the dry-dock 
     contract.
       (7) The Navy conducted a business case analysis to assess 
     options for a dry-docking capability in Guam in 2014 and 
     agreed to provide a copy of the report to Congress upon 
     completion. The draft business case analysis was provided to 
     the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives on March 3, 2016, but a final document was 
     not produced.
       (8) The draft business case analysis evaluated 200 
     potential options for restoring a dry-docking capability in 
     Guam, recommending seven potential courses of action, with 
     estimated costs ranging from $324,000,000 to $398,000,000 
     over a 50-year life cycle. The business case analysis 
     concluded that any of these options are significant savings 
     when compared with the cost of not having a dry-docking 
     capability in Guam, which exceeds $700,000,000 over a 50-year 
     period.
       (9) The Navy has removed machinery and equipment needed to 
     perform major overhauls from the former ship repair facility, 
     and shifted ship repair work previously performed in Guam to 
     various foreign locations in the Western Pacific. The total 
     cost of Navy ship repair contracts in Guam have gone from 
     $45,00,000 in 2010 to $16,000,000 in 2016.
       (10) As a result of Navy actions over the past five years, 
     the number of skilled workers engaged in ship repair in Guam 
     has been reduced from a combined total of approximately 550 
     at three ship-repair companies in Guam to the current level 
     of 150. Due to this degraded workforce and equipment 
     capabilities, the Navy is now forced to rely almost 
     exclusively on foreign ship repair instead at a time when the 
     Committee believes tensions and threats of crisis in the 
     Western Pacific can put access to foreign shipyards at risk.
       (11) Navy leadership has long acknowledged the importance 
     of a depot-level, dry-docking capability in Guam, as 
     evidenced by the following:
       (A) ``Robust depot-level ship repair capability in Guam is 
     a matter of strategic importance and

[[Page H5584]]

     remains an operational necessity because ships of the 7th 
     Fleet have high operational tempo and experience vast 
     distances between repair facilities.'' (Letter from the 
     Commander of the Pacific Fleet to the Governor of Guam, dated 
     February 15, 2013).
       (B) ``We must maintain a viable ship maintenance capability 
     in Guam to include dry-docking in support of operations and 
     contingency plans (OPLANs and CONPLANs) and the U.S. Navy 
     rebalance to the Pacific. Guam is a strategic in-theater 
     location for depot-level ship maintenance on sovereign U.S. 
     territory. This is a significant factor given that commercial 
     dry docks available in foreign countries considered friendly 
     to the United States may become unavailable to SEVENTH Fleet 
     ships in time of crisis or war. Availability of CPF ships 
     would be stressed if assets are required to dry dock in CONUS 
     due to the non-availability of a secure dry docking 
     capability in the Western Pacific. Dry-docking in Guam is a 
     critical component of depot-level ship repair. The capability 
     must be maintained and regularly exercised so that a 
     capability and expertise are available to support ships of 
     the SEVENTH Fleet in peace and war.'' (Letter from the 
     Commander of the Pacific Fleet to the Chief of Naval 
     Operations, dated February 7, 2014).
       (C) On February 24, 2016, in testimony before the Committee 
     on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, Admiral 
     Harry Harris, Commander of the United States Pacific Command, 
     affirmed that he continues to view robust ship repair 
     capabilities as a matter of strategic importance and an 
     operational priority for United States Pacific Fleet.
       (12) The Navy currently has four fast-attack nuclear 
     submarines homeported in Guam.
       (13) The Navy homeports submarine squadrons at seven 
     locations in the United States, each of which has a dry-
     docking capability, with the exception of Guam.
       (14) The Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives believes that dry-docking capability in Guam 
     is a strategic requirement and a cost-effective means of 
     ensuring the Forward Deployed Fleet has depot-level repair 
     capabilities at a United States port in the Western Pacific.
       (15) Amounts were authorized to be appropriated in the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328) and appropriated in the Consolidated 
     Appropriations Act, 2017 (Public Law 115-31) for funds be 
     applied to chartering a dry dock to meet fleet maintenance 
     requirements in the Western Pacific.
       (b) Limitation on Use of Funds.--Not more than 75 percent 
     of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made 
     available for the Office of the Secretary of the Navy may be 
     obligated or expended until the Secretary submits to Congress 
     notice that a request for proposals has been issued to 
     solicit bids for the chartering of a dry dock in the Western 
     Pacific that satisfies the minimum requirements for heavy 
     ship depot-level repair.

       (2) that does not involve aerobatics or demonstrations; and
       (3) uses bank angles of up to 90 degrees if required to 
     improve the spectator visibility of the aircraft.

     SEC. 1066. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Naval aviation was born in the United States when 
     Eugene Ely launched from the deck of a United States Navy 
     ship on November 14, 1910, in a Curtiss Model D.
       (2) In 1915, Cpt. Henry C. Mustin made the first catapult 
     launch and first take off in a ship underway in a Curtiss 
     Model AB-2, beginning a century of technological advancements 
     that have led to today's Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch 
     System which has replaced the steam pistons with powerful 
     magnets to launch jet aircraft.
       (3) In 1924, Lt. Dixie Kiefer made the first night catapult 
     launch in a Vought UO-1 in San Diego harbor, leading to 
     today's aircraft carriers being a floating city at sea with a 
     24-hour airport.
       (4) The first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS 
     Enterprise (CVN 65), was commissioned in 1961, ushering in a 
     new era of the world's most dominant and capable warships.
       (5) In 2013, the first of the next generation of aircraft 
     carriers, Gerald R. Ford, was christened, marking a 
     continuation of the innovative naval aviation spirit, 
     technological advancement, and war fighting capabilities of 
     aircraft carriers.
       (6) In 2013, aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 
     73) provided humanitarian assistance, medical supplies, food, 
     and water to the victims in the Philippines of Super Typhoon 
     Haiyan, once again demonstrating versatility of the aircraft 
     carrier for combat, diplomatic and humanitarian operations.
       (7) For over 70 years, aircraft carriers have been employed 
     in every major and many smaller conflicts, including World 
     War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Lebanon, Libya, Operation 
     Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the fight against 
     terrorism.
       (8) The United States Navy's aircraft carriers are a 
     cornerstone of the Nation's ability to project its power and 
     strength.
       (9) When aircraft carriers sail the globe they are a 
     statement of national purpose and a symbol of the Nation's 
     industrial strength, competitive edge, and economic 
     prosperity.
       (10) Aircraft carriers are 4.5 acres of sovereign United 
     States territory enabling the Nation to reduce its dependency 
     on other nations while it pursues its national security 
     interests.
       (11) Aircraft carriers enable the United States Armed 
     Forces to carry out operations from international waters, 
     avoiding the complications of securing fly-over rights and 
     land-base rights from other nations.
       (12) Aircraft carriers are a modern, very mobile United 
     States military base complete with airfield, hospital, and 
     communications systems from which the United States can 
     strike at its enemies.
       (13) Over 90 percent of world trade is moved by sea, 
     including much of the world's gas and oil supply, and 
     aircraft carriers and their strike forces are constantly on 
     patrol in vital regions of the world to keep shipping lanes 
     open and protect the interests of the United States and its 
     allies.
       (14) There are more than 2,450 companies in 48 States and 
     over 364 congressional districts, and more than 13,100 
     shipbuilders who proudly contribute to the construction and 
     maintenance of these complex and technologically advanced 
     ships.
       (15) Thousands of members of the United States Armed Forces 
     have served the Nation aboard aircraft carriers in war, 
     peace, and times of crisis.
       (16) When crisis occurs the first question that comes to 
     everyone's lips is ``Where is the nearest carrier?''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) United States aircraft carriers are the preeminent 
     power projection platform and have served the Nation's 
     interests in times of war and in times of peace, adapting to 
     the immediate and ever-changing nature of the world for over 
     90 years;
       (2) aircraft carrier contributions and heritage should be 
     celebrated; and
       (3) the people of the United States should be encouraged to 
     celebrate the history of aircraft carriers in the United 
     States and to always remember the vital role these vessels 
     play in defending the Nation's freedom.

     SEC. 1068. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE UNITED STATES 
                   NAVY SEABEES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On March 5, 1942, Navy Construction Battalion personnel 
     were officially named Seabees by the Navy Department.
       (2) The purpose of the Navy Seabees is to build, maintain, 
     and support base infrastructure in remote locations for the 
     Navy and Marine Corps, while simultaneously being capable of 
     engaging in combat operations.
       (3) The Navy Seabees dual-role is exemplified by the Seabee 
     motto Construimus, Batuimus: We Build, We Fight.
       (4) Throughout their history, the Navy Seabees have 
     answered the call of duty to protect the United States and 
     its democratic values both in times of war and peace.
       (5) The Navy Seabees support United States national 
     security at combatant commands worldwide, through the 
     construction, both on land and underwater, of bases, 
     airfields, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.
       (6) Members of the Navy Seabees and their families have 
     demonstrated unmatched courage and dedication to sacrifice 
     for the United States, from service in World War II, Korea, 
     and Vietnam to the recent conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and 
     elsewhere.
       (7) The Navy Seabees exhibit honor, personal courage, and 
     commitment as they sacrifice their personal comfort to keep 
     the United States safe from threats.
       (8) The Navy Seabees continue to display strength, 
     professionalism, and bravery in the all-volunteer force.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress recognizes the United 
     States Navy Seabees and the Navy personnel who comprise the 
     construction force for the Navy and the Marine Corps as 
     critical elements in deterring conflict, overcoming 
     aggression, and rebuilding democratic institutions.

     SEC. 1069. RECOGNITION OF THE UNITED STATES SPECIAL 
                   OPERATIONS COMMAND.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On April 16, 1987, Congress required the establishment 
     of a Special Operations Command, which was to be an elite 
     fighting force drawn from all of the branches of the Armed 
     Forces.
       (2) As a headquarters organization, USSOCOM comprises four 
     service-component commands, consisting of the United States 
     Army Special Operations Command, United States Naval Special 
     Warfare Command, United States Marine Corps Forces Special 
     Operations Command, and United States Air Force Special 
     Operations Command, and includes various sub-unified 
     commands.
       (3) Each service-component command has sub-component 
     commands consisting of--
       (A) Army Special Forces (Green Berets), Rangers, Special 
     Operations Aviation, Civil Affairs, Military Information 
     Support Operations;
       (B) Navy SEALS and Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen;
       (C) Air Force Commandos and Special Tactics Airmen;
       (D) Marine Raiders; and
       (E) other Joint Special Operations Forces;
       (4) USSOCOM protects and defends the United States in a 
     variety of ways, including direct action, special 
     reconnaissance, unconventional warfare, foreign internal 
     defense, civil affairs operations, counterterrorism, military 
     information support operations, counter-proliferation of 
     weapons of mass destruction, security force assistance, 
     counterinsurgency, hostage rescue and recovery, foreign 
     humanitarian assistance, and other missions as assigned.
       (5) USSOCOM has an unequaled ability to analyze and respond 
     to terrorist threats and USSOCOM has led many successful 
     missions globally.
       (6) Many USSOCOM missions are classified, so the American 
     people may never know the details and extent of the bravery 
     of Special Operations Forces, but a sample of missions 
     provide a glimpse into the bravery and talents of these 
     members of the Armed Forces:
       (A) On May 2, 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed in a special 
     operations mission in Pakistan, for which the outstanding men 
     and women in America's intelligence and Armed Forces, 
     especially those from SOCOM, remained focused on bringing 
     Osama bin Laden to justice, and on May 2, 2011, justice was 
     done.
       (B) On April 12, 2009, the Maersk Alabama was rescued 
     unharmed in a special operations

[[Page H5591]]

     mission in the Indian Ocean, after a five-day standoff 
     between the United States Navy and Somalian pirates.
       (C) On April 1, 2003, Jessica Lynch, a United States Army 
     clerk taken prisoner for nine days in Iraq, was rescued by 
     Special Operations Forces during a night raid in the hospital 
     where she was being held.
       (D) On December 13, 2003, in Operation Red Dawn, Special 
     Operations Forces captured deposed Iraqi president Saddam 
     Hussein, who was hiding in a spider hole.
       (E) On January 17, 1991, as Operation Desert Storm began, 
     Special Operations Forces slipped hundreds of miles into Iraq 
     to identify Iraqi Scud missiles as targets for American 
     fighter jets.
       (F) On December 20, 1989, in Operation Just Cause and 
     Operation Nifty Package, Special Operations Forces ventured 
     into Panama to bring its then President Manuel Noriega to 
     justice for drug-trafficking.
       (7) Approximately 70,000 Regular component, National Guard, 
     and reserve component personnel from all four services and 
     Department of Defense civilians are assigned to USSOCOM 
     headquarters in Tampa, its four service-component commands, 
     and eight sub-unified commands.
       (8) The heroism, skill, and patriotism of USSOCOM personnel 
     and their families are without parallel.
       (9) The responsibilities of USSOCOM are growing and its 
     mission is now and will continue to be central to the defense 
     of the United States in future decades.
       (10) The sacrifices of many, the service of all, and the 
     talents of the Special Operations Forces are cause for 
     confidence and optimism.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and civilians who, 
     together with their family members, comprise the United 
     States Special Operations Forces community should be honored 
     for their service and commitment to keeping the United States 
     safe.

     SEC. 1070. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WORLD WAR I.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States declared war against Germany on April 
     6, 1917, to redress wrongs, including Germany's resumption of 
     unrestricted submarine warfare, violation of United States 
     neutrality, and denial of freedom of the seas to 
     nonbelligerent nations.
       (2) The United States associated itself with the allied 
     powers of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth, France and 
     its colonies, Russia, Italy, and Japan to defeat the German 
     Empire
       (3) The United States Army, consisting of the Regular Army, 
     National Guard, and Reserve Corps, with the addition of 
     volunteers and the draftees of the National Army, underwent a 
     transformation from a frontier constabulary and coastal 
     defense force to a modern land warfare force.
       (4) Early 20th century military and technological advances 
     resulted in the incorporation of motor transport, aviation, 
     anti-aircraft artillery, tanks, chemical weapons, aircraft 
     carriers, submarines and anti-submarine warfare, sonar, 
     underwater mines, and other innovations into the military 
     arsenal of the United States.
       (5) The need to quickly build a military strength of four 
     million soldiers and half a million sailors required the 
     mobilization of the human resources of the United States, 
     during which members of diverse ethnic groups, races, and 
     creeds, both native-born and immigrant, forged a new American 
     identity.
       (6) The United States Army maintained its defense of 
     American seacoasts, southern border, and overseas 
     possessions, while the Army American Expeditionary Forces 
     deployed ``Over There'' for combat operations in Europe 
     starting in June 1917.
       (7) By the end of World War I, almost two million members 
     of the Army served overseas in the American Expeditionary 
     Forces; Whereas, during World War I, the United States Navy 
     increased in strength from approximately 69,000 officers and 
     sailors and 342 vessels to more than 533,000 officers and 
     sailors and 774 vessels.
       (8) The Navy operated in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, 
     and the North and Mediterranean Seas in cooperation with 
     allied navies.
       (9) The Navy began the fight against the German U-boat 
     menace by dispatching destroyers, which eventually totaled 70 
     in number, and 169 other vessels to counter the submarine

     SEC. 1071. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Fewer than 30 percent of youth in the United States 
     qualify for military service, either because of poor physical 
     health, a criminal record, or lack of a high school degree.
       (2) The National Guard Youth Challenge Program provides the 
     Department of Defense an opportunity to work with State and 
     local governments to engage with the youth of the nation, 
     providing military-based training, the opportunity to earn a 
     high school degree, and high physical fitness standards.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that it 
     is critical to allocate the necessary resources to the

       (1) On August 7, 1782, during the Revolutionary War,

     the Badge of Military Merit.
       (2) The Badge of Military Merit was designed in the shape 
     of a heart in purple cloth or silk.
       (3) While the award of the Badge of Military Merit ceased 
     with the end of the Revolutionary War, the Purple Heart medal 
     was authorized in 1932 as the official successor decoration 
     to the Badge of Military Merit.
       (4) The Purple Heart medal is the oldest United States 
     military decoration in present use.
       (5) The Purple Heart medal is awarded in the name of the 
     President of the United States to recognize members of the 
     Armed Forces who are killed or wounded in action against an 
     enemy of the United States or are killed or wounded while 
     held as prisoners of war.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart 
     Recognition Day; and
       (2) encourages all people of the United States--
       (A) to learn about the history of the Purple Heart medal;

     SEC. 1233. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Russian Federation, under the leadership of 
     President Vladimir Putin, continues to demonstrate its malign 
     activities to expand its sphere of influence and undermine 
     international norms and institutions both regionally and 
     globally, including through the following activities:
       (A) An assessment of the United States intelligence 
     community stated ``. . .Russian President Vladimir Putin 
     ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. 
     presidential election'', presented in the intelligence 
     community's January 6, 2017, declassified report, ``Assessing 
     Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections''.
       (B) The Russian Federation has interfered in the April 2017 
     election and runoff election in May 2017 of the French 
     Presidential elections. As confirmed by Admiral Mike Rogers, 
     Director of the National Security Agency, at a Senate 
     Committee on Armed Services hearing on May 9, 2017, ``If you 
     look at the French elections . . . we had become aware of 
     Russian activity.''
       (C) The Russian Federation has threatened stability in 
     their sphere of influence. As stated by General Curtis M. 
     Scaparrotti, Commander of the United States European Command, 
     in testimony at a House Committee on Armed Services hearing 
     on March 28, 2017, ``In the east, a resurgent Russia has 
     turned from partner to antagonist. Countries along Russia's 
     periphery, especially Ukraine and Georgia, are under threat 
     from Moscow's malign influence and military aggression.''.
       (D) The Russian Federation has occupied and attempted to 
     annex Crimea from Ukraine.
       (E) The Russian Federation has employed hybrid warfare 
     tactics, including cyber warfare, electronic warfare, and 
     information warfare to gain influence. This includes the use 
     of hybrid tactics in assisting combined Russian-separatist 
     forces in eastern Ukraine and, in 2008, the Russian incursion 
     in Georgia.
       (F) Military intervention in the civil war in Syria.
       (2) Both the Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, and the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph 
     Dunford, highlight the Russian Federation as the number one 
     geo-strategic threat to the United States.
       (3) The Government of the Russian Federation continues its 
     decades' long modernization of its conventional military 
     force with the buildup of large numbers of professionalized 
     forces on Russia's borders with Europe, re-establishing 
     military presence in the Arctic, investment in its nuclear 
     triad, advanced weapons systems, fighter jets, and naval 
     vessels.

       (4) In June 2016, the Center for Strategic and 
     International Studies released its report, ``Evaluating U.S. 
     Army Force Posture in Europe: Phase II'', which included the 
     recommendation that an Armed Brigade Combat Team and a combat 
     aviation brigade should be permanently assigned to Europe. 
     The report also recommends additional prepositioned equipment 
     in Western Europe.
       (5) In January 2016, the National Commission on the Future 
     of the Army released its findings and recommendations, which 
     included Recommendation 14, calling for permanently 
     stationing an Armored Brigade Combat Team Forward in Europe 
     and Recommendation 15 calling for the conversion of Army 
     Europe Aviation Headquarters to a warfighting mission 
     command.

     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2017 (Public Law 114-328), Congress authorized approximately 
     $5,200,000 for the European Reassurance Initiative, now the 
     European Deterrence Initiative, to reassure partners and 
     allies and begin building a credible deterrence to the 
     Russian Federation through--
       (A) large increases in conventional resources, including 
     additional rotational deployments of United States troops and 
     prepositioning of equipment into Europe; and
       (B) increased funding for unconventional warfare resources, 
     including cyber and special operations forces, and for 
     intelligence and indicators and warnings.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--
       (1) In general.--It is the policy of the United States to 
     develop, implement, and sustain credible deterrence against 
     aggression by the Government of the Russian Federation, in 
     order to enhance regional and global security and stability.
       (2) Conduct of policy.--The policy described in paragraph 
     (1) shall, among other things, be carried out through a 
     comprehensive defense strategy and guidance to outline and 
     resource the necessary defense capabilities in the European 
     theater. Such policy shall include the following:
       (A) Increased United States presence in Europe through 
     additional permanently stationed forces.
       (B) Continued United States presence in Europe through 
     additional rotational forces.
       (C) Increased United States prepositioned military 
     equipment to include logistics enablers and a division 
     headquarters.
       (D) Sufficient and necessary infrastructure additions and 
     improvements throughout the European theater.
       (E) Increased investment and priority to counter 
     unconventional methods of warfare, including sufficient cyber 
     warfare resources, information operations resources, and 
     intelligence resources.
       (F) Effective security cooperation resources and 
     opportunities with partners and allies, including NATO member 
     countries.

                   IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OPEN SKIES TREATY.

       (a) Limitation on Conduct of Flights.--
       (1) In general.--None of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for any 
     fiscal year after fiscal year 2017 for the Department of

     means--
       (A) the congressional defense committees; and
       (B) the Select Committee on Intelligence and Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence and the Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs of the House of Representatives.
       (5) Sunset.--The requirements of this subsection shall

     SEC. 1236. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF NUCLEAR 
                   CAPABILITIES OF NATO.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Warsaw Summit Communique, issued on July 9, 2016, 
     by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (in this section 
     referred to as ``NATO'') clearly defines the need for, and 
     the importance of, the nuclear mission of NATO.
       (2) The Warsaw Summit Communique states--
       (A) with respect to the nuclear deterrence capability of 
     NATO, ``As a means to prevent conflict and war, credible 
     deterrence and defence is essential. Therefore, deterrence 
     and defence, based on an appropriate mix of nuclear, 
     conventional, and missile defence capabilities, remains a 
     core element of our overall strategy. . . The fundamental 
     purpose of NATO's nuclear capability is to preserve peace, 
     prevent coercion, and deter aggression. Nuclear weapons are 
     unique. Any employment of nuclear weapons against NATO would 
     fundamentally alter the nature of a conflict. The 
     circumstances in which NATO might have to use nuclear weapons 
     are extremely remote'';
       (B) with respect to the nature of the nuclear deterrence 
     posture of NATO, ``NATO must continue to adapt its strategy 
     in line with trends in the security environment-including 
     with respect to capabilities and other measures required-to 
     ensure that NATO's overall deterrence and defence posture is 
     capable of addressing potential adversaries' doctrine and 
     capabilities, and that it remains credible, flexible, 
     resilient, and adaptable.''; and
       (C) with respect to the importance of contributions to the 
     nuclear deterrence mission from across the NATO alliance, 
     ``The strategic forces of the Alliance, particularly those of 
     the United States, are the supreme guarantee of the security 
     of the Allies. The independent strategic nuclear forces of 
     the United Kingdom and France have a deterrent role of their 
     own and contribute to the overall security of the Alliance. 
     These Allies' separate centres of decision-making contribute 
     to deterrence by complicating the calculations of potential 
     adversaries. NATO's nuclear deterrence posture also relies, 
     in part, on United States' nuclear weapons forward-deployed 
     in Europe and on capabilities and infrastructure provided by 
     Allies concerned. These Allies will ensure that all 
     components of NATO's nuclear deterrent remain safe, secure, 
     and effective. That requires sustained leadership focus and 
     institutional excellence for the nuclear deterrence mission 
     and planning guidance aligned with 21st century requirements. 
     The Alliance will ensure the broadest possible participation 
     of Allies concerned in their agreed nuclear burden-sharing 
     arrangements.''.
       (3) Secretary of Defense James Mattis, in response to the 
     advance policy questions for his Senate confirmation hearing 
     on January 12, 2017, stated that--
       (A) ``NATO's nuclear deterrence posture relies in part on 
     U.S. nuclear weapons forward-deployed in Europe and on 
     capabilities and infrastructure provided by NATO allies. 
     These capabilities include dual-capable aircraft that 
     contribute to current burden-sharing arrangements within 
     NATO. In general, we must take care to maintain this 
     particular capability, and to modernize it appropriately and 
     in a timely fashion.''; and
       (B) the role of the nuclear weapons of the United States is 
     ``to deter nuclear war and to serve as last resort weapons of 
     self-defense. In this sense, U.S. nuclear weapons are 
     fundamental to our nation's security and have historically 
     provided a deterrent against aggression and security 
     assurance to U.S. allies. A robust, flexible, and survivable 
     U.S. nuclear arsenal underpins the U.S. ability to deploy 
     conventional forces worldwide.''.
       (4) On March 28, 2017, General Curtis Scaparrotti, 
     Commander of the United States European Command and the 
     Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, testified to the Committee 
     on Armed Services of the House of Representatives that ``NATO 
     and U.S. nuclear forces continue to be a vital component of 
     our deterrence. Our modernization efforts are crucial; we 
     must preserve a ready, credible, and safe nuclear 
     capability.''.
       (5) The Russian Federation is currently undergoing 
     significant modernization and recapitalization of all three 
     legs of its nuclear triad, continues to field and modernize a 
     large variety of non-strategic nuclear weapons, and is 
     developing and deploying new and unique nuclear capabilities.
       (6) Russia remains in violation of the INF Treaty due to 
     the development, testing, and, most recently, the operational 
     deployment of ground-launched cruise missiles in violation of 
     the INF Treaty.

[[Page H5596]]

       (7) On March 28, 2017, General Paul Selva, Vice Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described the security 
     consequences of the deployment of such INF Treaty-violating 
     missiles, testifying to the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the House of Representatives that ``our assessment of the 
     impact is that it more threatens NATO and infrastructure 
     within the European continent than any other...area of the 
     world that we have national interests in or alliance 
     interests in.''.
       (8) On March 28, 2017, General Curtis Scaparrotti, in 
     testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of the House 
     of Representatives, responded to a question asking if Russia 
     intends to return to compliance with the INF Treaty by 
     stating, ``I don't have any indication that they will at this 
     time.''.
       (9) Rhetoric from Russian officials has demonstrated that 
     Moscow has sought to leverage its nuclear arsenal to threaten 
     and intimidate neighboring countries, including members of 
     NATO, as was the case when the Russian Ambassador to Denmark 
     stated, ``Danish warships will be targets for Russian nuclear 
     missiles'' in response to Denmark's potential cooperation in 
     the NATO missile defense system.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the nuclear and conventional deterrence capabilities of 
     NATO are of critical importance to the security of the United 
     States and of the NATO alliance, and must continue to adapt 
     to the changed security environment in Europe;
       (2) the ability of the United States to forward-deploy 
     dual-capable aircraft and nuclear weapons, and of select 
     members of NATO to participate in the nuclear deterrence 
     mission of NATO by hosting forward-deployed nuclear weapons 
     of the United States or operating dual-capable aircraft, is 
     central to the credibility of the nuclear deterrence and 
     defense posture of NATO;
       (3) the strategic forces of the United States, the 
     independent nuclear forces of the United Kingdom and the 
     French Republic, and the dual-capable aircraft operated by 
     the United States and other members of NATO constitute 
     foundational elements of the nuclear deterrence and defense 
     posture of NATO;
       (4) NATO should modernize its nuclear-related 
     infrastructure to ensure the highest-level of safety and 
     security;
       (5) effective deterrence requires NATO to conduct nuclear 
     planning and exercises aligned with 21st century requirements 
     and modernize nuclear-related capabilities and 
     infrastructure, including dual-capable aircraft, command and 
     control networks, and facilities; and
       (6) to ensure the continued credibility of the deterrence 
     and defense posture of NATO, the planned completion of F-35A 
     aircraft development and testing, as well as the delivery of 
     such aircraft to members of NATO, must not be delayed.
       (c) INF Treaty Defined.--In this section, the term ``INF 
     Treaty'' means the Treaty Between the United States of 
     America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the 
     Elimination of Their Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range 
     Missiles, commonly referred to as the ``Intermediate- Range 
     Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty'', signed at Washington December 
     8, 1987, and entered into force June 1, 1988.

     SEC. 1237. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR GEORGIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Georgia is a valued friend of the United States and has 
     repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to advancing the 
     mutual interests of both countries, including the deployment 
     of Georgian forces as part of the NATO-led International 
     Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and the 
     Multi-National Force in Iraq.
       (2) The European Deterrence Initiative builds the 
     partnership capacity of Georgia so it can work more closely 
     with the United States and NATO, as well as provide for its 
     own defense.
       (3) In addition to the European Deterrence Initiative, 
     Georgia's participation in the NATO initiative Partnership 
     for Peace is paramount to interoperability with the United 
     States and NATO, and establishing a more peaceful environment 
     in the region.
       (4) Despite the losses suffered, as a NATO partner of ISAF, 
     Georgia is engaged in the Resolute Support Mission in 
     Afghanistan with the second largest contingent on the ground.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) reaffirms United States support for Georgia's 
     sovereignty and territorial integrity within its 
     internationally-recognized borders, and does not recognize 
     the independence of the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions 
     currently occupied by the Russian Federation; and
       (2) supports continued cooperation between the United 
     States and Georgia and the efforts of the Government of 
     Georgia to provide for the defense of its people and 
     sovereign territory.

     SEC. 1238. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR ESTONIA, LATVIA, 
                   AND LITHUANIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are 
     highly valued allies of the United States, and they have 
     repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to advancing our 
     mutual interests as well as those of the NATO Alliance.
       (2) Operation Atlantic Resolve is a series of exercises and 
     coordinating efforts demonstrating the United States' 
     commitment to its European partners and allies, including the 
     Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with the 
     shared goal of peace and stability in the region. Operation 
     Atlantic Resolve strengthens communication and understanding, 
     and is an important effort to deter Russian aggression in the 
     region.
       (3) Through Operation Atlantic Resolve, the European 
     Deterrence Initiative undertakes exercises, training, and 
     rotational presence necessary to reassure and integrate our 
     allies, including the Baltic States, into a common defense 
     framework.
       (4) All three Baltic States contributed to the NATO-led 
     International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, 
     sending disproportionate numbers of troops and operating with 
     few caveats. The Baltic States continue to engage in 
     Operation Resolute Support in Afghanistan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) reaffirms its support for the principle of collective 
     defense in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for our 
     NATO allies, including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania;
       (2) supports the sovereignty, independence, territorial 
     integrity, and inviolability of Estonia, Latvia, and 
     Lithuania as well as their internationally recognized 
     borders, and expresses concerns over increasingly aggressive 
     military maneuvering by the Russian Federation near their 
     borders and airspace;
       (3) expresses concern over and condemns subversive and 
     destabilizing activities by the Russian Federation within the 
     Baltic States; and
       (4) encourages the Administration to further enhance 
     defense cooperation efforts with Estonia, Latvia, and 
     Lithuania and supports the efforts of their Governments to 
     provide for the defense of their people and sovereign 
     territory.

Subtitle E--Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty Preservation 
                              Act of 2017

     SEC. 1241. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Intermediate-Range 
     Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty Preservation Act of 2017''.

     SEC. 1242. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The 2014, 2015, and 2016 Department of State reports 
     entitled, ``Adherence to and Compliance with Arms Control, 
     Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and 
     Commitments'', all stated that the United States has 
     determined that ``the Russian Federation is in violation of 
     its obligations under the INF Treaty not to possess, produce, 
     or flight-test a ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a 
     range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km, or to possess or 
     produce launchers of such missiles''.
       (2) The 2016 report also noted that ``the cruise missile 
     developed by Russia meets the INF Treaty definition of a 
     ground-launched cruise missile with a range capability of 500 
     km to 5,500 km, and as such, all missiles of that type, and 
     all launchers of the type used or tested to launch such a 
     missile, are prohibited under the provisions of the INF 
     Treaty''.
       (3) Potential consistency and compliance concerns regarding 
     the INF Treaty noncompliant GLCM have existed since 2008, 
     were not officially raised with the Russian Federation until 
     2013, and were not briefed to the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) until January 2014.
       (4) The United States Government is aware of other 
     consistency and compliance concerns regarding Russia actions 
     vis-a-vis its INF Treaty obligations.
       (5) Since 2013, senior United States officials, including 
     the President, the Secretary of State, and the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have raised Russian noncompliance 
     with the INF Treaty to their counterparts, but no progress 
     has been made in bringing the Russian Federation back into 
     compliance with the INF Treaty.
       (6) In April 2014, General Breedlove, the Supreme Allied 
     Commander Europe, correctly stated, ``A weapon capability 
     that violates the INF, that is introduced into the greater 
     European land mass, is absolutely a tool that will have to be 
     dealt with . . . It can't go unanswered.''.
       (7) The Department of Defense in its September 2013 report, 
     Report on Conventional Prompt Global Strike Options if Exempt 
     from the Restrictions of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear 
     Forces Treaty Between the United States of America and the 
     Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, stated that it has 
     multiple validated military requirement gaps due to the 
     prohibitions imposed on the United States as a result of its 
     compliance with the INF Treaty.
       (8) It is not in the national security interests of the 
     United States to be unilaterally legally prohibited from 
     developing dual-capable ground-launched cruise missiles with 
     ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers, while Russia makes 
     advances in developing and fielding this class of weapon 
     systems, and such unilateral limitation cannot be allowed to 
     continue indefinitely.
       (9) Admiral Harry Harris, Jr., Commander of the United 
     States Pacific Command, testified before the Senate Armed 
     Services Committee on April 27, 2017, that ``[W]e're in a 
     multi-polar world where we have a lot of countries who are 
     developing these weapons, including China, that I worry 
     about. And I worry about their DF-21 and DF-26 missile 
     programs, their anti-carrier ballistic missile programs, if 
     you will. INF doesn't address missiles launched from ships or 
     airplanes, but it focuses on those land-based systems. I 
     think there's goodness in the INF treaty, anything you can do 
     to limit nuclear weapons writ-large is generally good. But 
     the aspects of the INF Treaty that limit our ability to 
     counter Chinese and other countries' land-based missiles, I 
     think, is problematic.''.
       (10) A material breach of the INF Treaty by the Russian 
     Federation affords the United States the right to invoke 
     legal countermeasures which include suspension of the treaty 
     in whole or in part.
       (11) Article XV of the INF Treaty provides that ``Each 
     Party shall, in exercising its national sovereignty, have the 
     right to withdraw from this Treaty if it decides that 
     extraordinary events related to the subject matter of this 
     Treaty have jeopardized its supreme interests.''.

     SEC. 1243. COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT REGARDING RUSSIAN 
                   VIOLATIONS OF THE INF TREATY.

       (a) Statement of United States Policy.--It is the policy of 
     the United States as follows:

[[Page H5597]]

       (1) The actions undertaken by the Russian Federation in 
     violation of the INF Treaty constitute a material breach of 
     the treaty.
       (2) In light of the Russian Federation's material breach of 
     the INF Treaty, the United States is legally entitled to 
     suspend the operation of the INF Treaty in whole or in part 
     for so long as the Russian Federation continues to be in 
     material breach.
       (3) For so long as the Russian Federation remains in 
     noncompliance with the INF Treaty, the United States should 
     take actions to encourage the Russian Federation return to 
     compliance, including by--
       (A) providing additional funds for the capabilities 
     identified in section 1243(d) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 
     129 Stat. 1062); and
       (B) seeking additional missile defense assets in the 
     European theater to protect United States and NATO forces 
     from ground-launched missile systems of the Russian 
     Federation that are in noncompliance with the INF Treaty.
       (b) Authorization of Additional Appropriations.--
       (1) In general.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act for fiscal year 2018 for research, development,

       (A) the development of active defenses to counter ground-
     launched missile systems with ranges between 500 and 5,500 
     kilometers;
       (B) counterforce capabilities to prevent attacks from these 
     missiles; and
       (C) countervailing strike capabilities to enhance the 
     capabilities of the United States identified in section 
     1243(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat. 1062).
       (2) Development.--Of the amount authorized to be 
     appropriated by paragraph (1), $25,000,000 is authorized to 
     be appropriated for activities undertaken to carry out 
     section 1244(a), including with respect to research and 
     development activities.

                   SYSTEM.

       (a) Establishment of a Program of Record.--The Secretary of 
     Defense shall establish a program of record to develop a 
     conventional road-mobile ground-launched cruise missile 
     system with a range of between 500 to 5,500 kilometers.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees, the Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, and the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a report on the 
     cost, schedule, and feasibility to modify existing and 
     planned missile systems, including the tomahawk land attack 
     cruise missile, the standard missile-3, the standard missile-
     6, and Army tactical missile system missiles for ground 
     launch with a range of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers in 
     order to provide any of the capabilities identified in 
     section 1243(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat. 1062).

       (a) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that because 
     of the Russian Federation's violations of the INF Treaty, 
     including the flight-test, production, and possession of 
     prohibited systems, its actions have defeated the object and 
     purpose of the INF Treaty, and thus constitute a material 
     breach of the INF Treaty.
       (b) Notifiction by Director of National Intelligence.--
       (1) In general.--The Director of National Intelligence 
     shall notify the appropriate congressional committees of any 
     development, deployment, or test of a system by the Russian 
     Federation that the Director determines is inconsistent with 
     the INF Treaty.
       (2) Deadline.--A notification under this subsection shall 
     be made not later than 15 days after the date on which the 
     Director makes the determination under this subsection with 
     respect to which the notification is required.
       (c) Report by President.--Not later than 15 months after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall 
     submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
     that contains a determination of the President of whether the 
     Russian Federation has flight-tested, produced, or is in 
     possession of a ground-launched cruise missile or ground-
     launched ballistic missile with a range of between 500 and 
     5,500 kilometers during each of the three consecutive 120-day 
     periods beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (d) United States Actions.--If the determination of the 
     President contained in the report required to be submitted 
     under subsection (c) is that the Russian Federation has 
     flight-tested, produced, or is in possession of any missile 
     described in subsection (c) during each of the periods 
     described in subsection (c), the prohibitions set forth in 
     Article VI of the INF Treaty shall no longer be binding on 
     the United States as a matter of United States law.

     SEC. 1246. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS TO EXTEND THE 
                   IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW START TREATY.

       None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available for fiscal year 2018 for the 
     Department of Defense may be obligated or expended to extend 
     the implementation of the New START Treaty unless the 
     President certifies to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that the Russian Federation has verifiably 
     eliminated all missiles that are in violation of or may be 
     inconsistent with the INF Treaty.

     SEC. 1247. REVIEW OF RS-26 BALLISTIC MISSILE.

       (a) In General.--The President, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of

     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of 
     National Intelligence, shall submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report on the review conducted 
     under subsection (a). The report shall include--
       (1) a determination whether the RS-26 ballistic missile is 
     covered under the New START Treaty or would be a violation of 
     the INF Treaty because Russia has flight-tested such missile 
     to ranges covered by the INF Treaty in more than one warhead 
     configuration; and
       (2) if the President determines that the RS-26 ballistic 
     missile is covered under the New START Treaty, a 
     determination whether the Russian Federation--
       (A) has agreed through the Bilateral Consultative 
     Commission that such a system is limited under the New START 
     Treaty central limits; and
       (B) has agreed to an exhibition of such a system.
       (c) Effect of Determination.--If the President, with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
     Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the 
     Director of National Intelligence, determines that the RS-26 
     ballistic missile is covered under the New START Treaty and 
     that the Russian Federation has not taken the steps described 
     under subsection (b)(2), the United States Government shall 
     consider for purposes of all policies and decisions that the 
     RS-26 ballistic missile of the Russian Federation is a 
     violation of the INF Treaty.

   Subtitle F--Fostering Unity Against Russian Aggression Act of 2017

     SEC. 1251. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Fostering Unity Against 
     Russian Aggression Act of 2017''.

     SEC. 1252. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) General Curtis M. Scaparrotti, Commander of the United 
     States European Command, testified before the House Armed 
     Services Committee on March 27, 2017, that ``Today we face 
     the most dynamic European security environment in history.'' 
     and that ``Russia's malign actions are supported by its 
     diplomatic, information, economic, and military 
     initiatives.''.
       (2) The Russian Federation has shifted to a military 
     doctrine that envisions using nuclear weapons in an attempt 
     to end a failing regional conventional conflict. On June 25, 
     2015, Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work and then-Vice-
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral James Winnefeld 
     testified before the House Armed Services Committee that 
     ``Russian military doctrine includes what some have called an 
     `escalate to de-escalate' strategy--a strategy that 
     purportedly seeks to deescalate a conventional conflict 
     through coercive threats, including limited nuclear use. We 
     think that this label is dangerously misleading. Anyone who 
     thinks they can control escalation through the use of nuclear 
     weapons is literally playing with fire. Escalation is 
     escalation, and nuclear use would be the ultimate 
     escalation.''.
       (3) General Scaparrotti noted in his March 27, 2017, 
     testimony before the House Armed Services Committee that 
     ``Moscow's provocative rhetoric and nuclear threats increase 
     the likelihood of misunderstanding and miscalculation.''.
       (4) The Russian Federation continues to conduct ongoing 
     influence campaigns aimed at undermining democracies around 
     the world. According to an assessment by the intelligence 
     community, ``Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an 
     influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential 
     election'', which included the use of the Russian military 
     intelligence organization. The intelligence community also 
     assessed that Russia would apply lessons learned

[[Page H5598]]

     to future influence efforts worldwide, including against 
     United States allies and their election systems.
       (5) The Russian Federation continues its aggression on its 
     periphery. In 2008, the Russian Federation fomented conflict 
     in Georgia. Further, the Russian Federation is directing 
     combined Russian-Separatist units in eastern Ukraine, 
     actively inciting violence and prolonging the most 
     significant conflict in Europe.
       (6) The investment of over $5 billion in the European 
     Reassurance Initiative (ERI), now the European Deterrence 
     Initiative (EDI), has proven successful in significantly 
     enhancing the ability of United States forces, NATO allies, 
     and regional partners to deter Russian aggression. EDI has 
     not only assured our European allies and partners but 
     supported essential investments in NATO's military capacity, 
     interoperability, and agility.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the risks of miscalculation in a crisis are exacerbated 
     by the Russian Federation's shift to a military doctrine of 
     ``escalate to de-escalate'', lowering the threshold for 
     Russian use of nuclear weapons and thereby increasing the 
     risk of using nuclear weapons, potentially escalating in to a 
     massive nuclear exchange;
       (2) subversive and destabilizing activities by the Russian 
     Federation targeting NATO allies and partners causes concern 
     and should be condemned;
       (3) European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) investments are 
     long-term and, as such, Congress expects future budgets to 
     reflect United States commitment by planning for funding in 
     the base budget, and further EDI should build on United 
     States presence by increasing the United States permanent 
     force posture; and
       (4) credible deterrence requires steadfast cooperation and 
     joint action with NATO allies and partners and other United 
     States allies and partners in Europe.

       Congress notes the 2016 Force Structure Assessment (FSA) 
     that increased the requirement for fast attack submarine 
     (SSN) from 48 to 66 and supports an acquisition plan that 
     enhances maritime capabilities that address this requirement.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Russian Federation has adopted a dangerous nuclear 
     doctrine that includes a strategy of ``escalate to de-
     escalate'', which could lower the threshold for Russian use 
     of nuclear weapons in a regional conflict; and
       (2) such nuclear doctrine exacerbates the risks of 
     miscalculation and unintended consequences that could 
     precipitate a nuclear war.

     SEC. 1264. EXTENDED DETERRENCE COMMITMENT TO THE ASIA-PACIFIC 
                   REGION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review reaffirmed the 
     commitment of the United States to extended deterrence and 
     continued protection of the treaty allies of the United 
     States under the United States nuclear umbrella.
       (2) The United States-Republic of Korea Deterrence Strategy 
     Committee and the United States-Japan Extended Deterrence 
     Dialogue provide valuable communication channels for ensuring 
     the commitment of the United States to the policy of extended 
     nuclear deterrence and allow for bilateral discussions on how 
     United States capabilities can be leveraged to credibly 
     deter, and if necessary, defeat, North Korean nuclear 
     weapons, weapons of mass destruction, and missile threats and 
     aggression.
       (3) Statements by officials of the United States have 
     consistently emphasized the United States commitment to 
     providing extended deterrence and defense across the full 
     spectrum of military capabilities, including nuclear 
     capabilities.
       (4) On September 9, 2016, President Obama responded to a 
     North Korean nuclear test by issuing the following statement, 
     ``I restated to President Park and Prime Minister Abe the 
     unshakable U.S. commitment to take necessary steps to defend 
     our allies in the region, including through our deployment of 
     a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery to the 
     ROK, and the commitment to extended deterrence, guaranteed by 
     the full spectrum of U.S. defense capabilities.''.
       (5) On October 14, 2016, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
     Staff, General Joseph Dunford, ``reaffirmed the ironclad 
     commitment of the U.S. to defend both the ROK and Japan and 
     provide extended deterrence guaranteed by the full spectrum 
     of U.S. military capabilities, including conventional, 
     nuclear, and missile defense capabilities''.
       (6) On October 19, 2016, Secretary of Defense Ashton 
     Carter, stated, ``the U.S. commitment to the defense of South 
     Korea is unwavering. This includes our commitment to provide 
     extended deterrence, guaranteed by the full spectrum of U.S. 
     defense capabilities. Make no mistake: Any attack on America 
     or our allies will not only be defeated, but any use of 
     nuclear weapons will be met with an overwhelming and 
     effective response.''.
       (7) On October 19, 2016, Secretary of State John Kerry, 
     during a joint press conference with the South Korean Foreign 
     Minister, confirmed the United States would ``defend South 
     Korea through a robust combined defense posture and through 
     extended deterrence, including the US nuclear umbrella, 
     conventional strike and missile defense capabilities.''.
       (8) On February 3, 2017, Secretary of Defense James Mattis, 
     during a visit to South Korea, stated, ``America's 
     commitments to defending our allies and to upholding our 
     extended deterrence guarantees remain ironclad: Any attack on 
     the United States, or our allies, will be defeated, and any 
     use of nuclear weapons would be met with a response that 
     would be effective and overwhelming.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the defense of the Republic of Korea and Japan must 
     remain a top priority for the administration;
       (2) the United States maintains an unwavering and steadfast 
     commitment to the policy of extended deterrence, especially 
     with respect to South Korea and Japan;
       (3) bilateral extended deterrence dialogues and discussions 
     with South Korea and Japan are of great value to the United 
     States and its partners and must remain a central component 
     of these relationships;
       (4) the United States must sustain and modernize current 
     United States nuclear capabilities to ensure the extended 
     deterrence commitments of the United States remain credible 
     and executable; and
       (5) the timely development, production, and deployment of 
     modern nuclear-capable aircraft are fundamental to ensure 
     that the United States remains able to meet extended 
     deterrence requirements in the Asia-Pacific region far into 
     the future.
       (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section may be 
     construed to alter the shared goal of the United States, 
     South Korea, and Japan for a denuclearized Korean Peninsula 
     or to change the United States nuclear posture in the Asia-
     Pacific region.

     commitments of Japan and South Korea to the maintenance of

[[Page H5600]]

       (4) the United States reaffirms its commitment to Article V

     expansion of defense cooperation with Japan in accordance

     expanding foreign military sales, establishing new 
     cooperative technology development programs, increasing 
     military exercises, or other actions as appropriate;
       (6) the United States and South Korea share deep concerns 
     that the nuclear and ballistic missile programs of North 
     Korea and its repeated provocations pose great threats to 
     peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and the United 
     States recognizes that South Korea has made important 
     commitments to the bilateral security alliance, including by 
     hosting a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system;
       (7) the United States and South Korea should continue 
     further defense cooperation, by enhancing mutual security 
     based on the Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States 
     and the Republic of Korea and investing in capabilities 
     critical to the combined defense;
       (8) the United States welcomes greater security cooperation 
     with, and among, Japan and South Korea to promote mutual 
     interests and address shared concerns, including the 
     bilateral military intelligence-sharing pact between Japan 
     and South Korea, signed on November 23, 2016, and the 
     trilateral intelligence sharing agreement between the United 
     States, Japan, and South Korea, signed on December 29, 2015;

     cooperation, including through expanded exercises, training, 
     and information sharing that strengthens integration.

     3301 et seq.) codified the basis for commercial, cultural,

     SEC. 1670. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENT 
                   NUCLEAR DETERRENT OF UNITED KINGDOM.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) nuclear deterrence is foundational to the defense and 
     security of the United States and the security of the United 
     States is enhanced by a nuclear-armed ally with common values 
     and security priorities;
       (2) the United States sees the nuclear deterrent of the 
     United Kingdom as central to transatlantic security and 
     welcomes the commitment of the United Kingdom to the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to continue to spend two 
     percent of gross domestic product on defense;
       (3) in the face of increasing threats, the presence of 
     credible nuclear deterrent forces of the United Kingdom is 
     essential to international stability and for NATO;
       (4) the commitment of the United Kingdom to sustaining an 
     independent nuclear deterrent, deployed continuously at sea, 
     provides a vital second decision-making point within the 
     deterrent capability of NATO, creating essential uncertainty 
     in the mind of any potential adversary;
       (5) the United States Navy must continue to execute the 
     Columbia-class submarine program on time and within budget to 
     ensure that the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad of the 
     United States is sustained and the program delivers a Common 
     Missile Compartment, the Trident II (D5) Strategic Weapon 
     System, and associated equipment and production capabilities, 
     to support the successful development and deployment of the 
     Dreadnought submarines of the United Kingdom;
       (6) the support that the United Kingdom provides to 
     deployments of strategic ships and aircraft of the United 
     States at specialized facilities enables a vital part of the 
     deterrence posture of the United States as well as mutual 
     deterrence of adversaries and assurance to the allies and 
     partners of the United States; and
       (7) the collaboration of the United Kingdom with the United 
     States on the military use of atomic energy ensures a peer in 
     the technology and science of nuclear weapons and provides 
     independent expert peer review of the nuclear programs of the 
     United States, ensuring resilience, and cost effectiveness to 
     the nuclear defense programs of both nations.

     SEC. 1671. PROHIBITION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR MOBILE 
                   VARIANT OF GROUND-BASED STRATEGIC DETERRENT

     appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for any 
     of fiscal years 2017 through 2019 may be obligated or 
     expended to retain the option for, or develop, a mobile 
     variant of the ground-based strategic deterrent missile.
       (b) Conforming Repeal.--Section 1664 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328; 130 Stat. 2615) is repealed.

     SEC. 1672. REPORT ON IMPACTS OF NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) nuclear proliferation continues to be a serious threat 
     to the security of the United States;
       (2) it is critical for the United States to understand the 
     impacts of nuclear proliferation and ensure the necessary 
     policies and resources are in place to prevent the 
     proliferation of nuclear materials and weapons;
       (3) effectively addressing the danger of states and non-
     state actors acquiring nuclear weapons or nuclear-weapons-
     usable material should be a clear priority for United States 
     national security; and
       (4) Secretary of Defense James Mattis testified before 
     Congress on June 12, 2017, that ``nuclear nonproliferation 
     has not received enough attention over quite a few years''.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report containing--
       (1) a description of the impacts of nuclear proliferation 
     on the security of the United States;
       (2) a description of how the Department of Defense is 
     contributing to the current strategy to respond to the threat 
     of nuclear proliferation, and what resources are being 
     applied to this effort, including whether there are any 
     funding gaps; and
       (3) if and how nuclear proliferation is being addressed in 
     the Nuclear Posture Review and other pertinent strategy 
     reviews.

     SEC. 1685. DEFENSE OF HAWAII FROM NORTH KOREAN BALLISTIC 
                   MISSILE ATTACK.

       (a) Findings; Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (A) The North Korean ballistic missile threat to the United 
     States, including Hawaii, is growing rapidly.
       (B) Since Kim Jong-un took power in 2012, North Korea has 
     conducted 78 ballistic missile tests, of which 61 are 
     considered to have been successful.
       (C) The existing ballistic missile defense protection for 
     Hawaii, including the ground-based midcourse defense system 
     in Alaska, and the sea-based x-band radar, provide limited 
     ballistic missile defense capabilities today.
       (D) Through use of existing ballistic missile defense 
     assets, including AN/TPY-2 radars and the Aegis Ashore Site 
     located on the Pacific Missile Range Facility, the ballistic 
     missile defense of Hawaii could benefit from a near-term 
     improvement by adding a layer of defense.
       (E) The proposed program of record for a medium range 
     discriminating radar to be fully mission capable after 2023 
     would leave the defense of Hawaii dependent only on the 
     ground-based midcourse defense system in Alaska, and the sea-
     based x-band radar until that time, while the threat to the 
     United States, including Hawaii, from North Korean ballistic 
     missiles continues to grow.
       (F) The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2017 (Public Law 114-328) required that the Missile Defense 
     Agency plan to provide additional ballistic missile defense 
     sensor coverage for the defense of Hawaii and ``field such 
     radar or equivalent sensor by not later than December 31, 
     2021''.
       (G) When asked at a hearing of the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives on April 26, 2017, 
     about the threat to Hawaii from North Korean ballistic 
     missiles, the Commander of the United States Pacific Command, 
     Admiral Harry Harris, testified that ``Kim Jong-un is clearly 
     in a position to threaten Hawaii today. . .I believe that our 
     ballistic missile (defense) architecture is sufficient to 
     protect Hawaii today. But it can be overwhelmed'' and ``I 
     think that we would be better served, my personal opinion, is 
     that we would be better served with a defensive Hawaii radar 
     and interceptors in Hawaii. I know that is being discussed''.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Congress supports assessing the feasibility of improving the 
     missile defense of Hawaii from the evolving ballistic missile 
     threat, including from North Korea, through a permanent 
     missile defense sensor capability and the possible 
     introduction of interim missile defense coverage.
       (b) Sequenced Approach.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
     protect the test and training operations of the Pacific 
     Missile Range Facility, and assess the siting and 
     functionality of a discrimination radar for homeland defense 
     throughout the Hawaiian Islands before assessing the 
     feasibility of improving the missile defense of Hawaii by 
     using existing missile defense assets that could materially 
     improve the defense of Hawaii.

       (c) Test.--The Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     shall--
       (1) not later than 270 days after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, conduct a test to evaluate and demonstrate, if 
     technologically feasible, the capability to defeat a simple 
     intercontinental ballistic missile threat using the standard 
     missile 3 block IIA missile interceptor; and
       (2) as part of the integrated master test plan for the 
     ballistic missile defense system, develop a plan to 
     demonstrate a capability to defeat a complex intercontinental 
     ballistic missile threat, including a complex threat posed by 
     the intercontinental ballistic missiles of North Korea.
       (d) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report--
       (1) that indicates whether demonstrating an 
     intercontinental ballistic missile defense capability against 
     North Korean ballistic missiles by the standard missile 3 
     block IIA missile interceptor poses any risks to strategic 
     stability; and
       (2) if the Secretary determines under paragraph (1) that 
     such demonstration poses such risks to strategic stability, a 
     description of any plan developed and implemented by the 
     Secretary to address and mitigate such risks, as determined 
     appropriate by the Secretary.

   Subtitle B--Program Authorizations, Restrictions, and Limitations

     SEC. 3111. NUCLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE 
                   RECAPITALIZATION AND REPAIR.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) On September 7, 2016, during testimony before the 
     Subcommittee on Strategic Forces of the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives--
       (A) the Administrator for Nuclear Security, Frank Klotz, 
     said--
       (i) ``Our infrastructure is extensive, complex, and, in 
     many critical areas, several decades old. More than half of 
     NNSA's approximately 6,000 real property assets are over 40 
     years old, and nearly 30 percent date back to the Manhattan 
     Project era. Many of the enterprise's critical utility, 
     safety, and support systems are failing at an increasing and 
     unpredictable rate, which poses both programmatic and safety 
     risk.''; and
       (ii) ``I can think of no greater threat to the nuclear 
     security enterprise than the state of NNSA's 
     infrastructure.'';
       (B) the President and Chief Executive Officer of 
     Consolidated Nuclear Security, Morgan Smith, said, ``Many key 
     facilities at both [Pantex and Y-12] were constructed in the 
     1940s and were intended to operate for as little as one 
     decade. Many facilities and their supporting infrastructure 
     have exceeded or far exceeded their expected life, and major 
     systems within the facilities are beginning to fail.''; and
       (C) the Director of Los Alamos National Laboratory, Dr. 
     Charlie McMillan, said, ``One of the things that keeps me up 
     at night is the realization that essential capabilities are 
     held at risk by the possibility of such failures; in many 
     cases, our enterprise has a single point of failure.''.
       (2) In a letter sent on December 23, 2015, by the Secretary 
     of Energy, Ernest Moniz, to the Director of the Office of 
     Management and Budget, Shaun Donovan, the Secretary said, ``A 
     majority of the National Nuclear Security Administration's 
     (NNSA) facilities and systems are well beyond end-of-life. . 
     . Infrastructure problems such as falling ceilings are 
     increasing in frequency and severity, unacceptably risking 
     the safety and security of both personnel and material at 
     NNSA facilities, as well as in some instances, potential 
     offsite risks. The entire complex could be placed at risk if 
     there is a single failure where a single point would disrupt 
     a critical link in infrastructure.''.
       (3) The Nuclear Posture Review published in April 2010 
     stated that ``In order to sustain a safe, secure, and 
     effective U.S. nuclear stockpile as long as nuclear weapons 
     exist, the United States must possess a modern physical 
     infrastructure. . . Today's nuclear complex, however, has 
     fallen into neglect. Although substantial science, 
     technology, and engineering investments were made over the 
     last decade under the auspices of the Stockpile Stewardship 
     Program, the complex still includes many oversized and 
     costly-to maintain facilities built during the 1940s and 
     1950s. Some facilities needed for working with plutonium and 
     uranium date back to the Manhattan Project. Safety, security, 
     and environmental issues associated with these aging 
     facilities are mounting, as are the costs of addressing 
     them.''.
       (4) In 2009, the bipartisan Congressional Commission on the 
     Strategic Posture of the United States established by section 
     1062 of the National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 
     2008 (Public Law 110-181; 122 Stat. 319) stated, with regards 
     to key production facilities, that ``existing facilities are 
     genuinely decrepit and are maintained in a safe and secure 
     manner only at high cost''.
       (5) Previous efforts to address the deferred maintenance 
     and repair challenges within the nuclear security enterprise, 
     such as the Facilities Infrastructure and Recapitalization 
     Program and the recent halt in the growth of backlog metrics, 
     are laudable but insufficient for the magnitude of the 
     problem.
       (6) Recent figures provided by the Administrator for 
     Nuclear Security estimate the backlog of deferred maintenance 
     and repair needs of the nuclear security enterprise to be 
     approximately $3,700,000,000.
       (b) Facilities and Infrastructure Recapitalization and 
     Repair Program.--
       (1) Establishment.--Not later than 30 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator for Nuclear 
     Security shall establish and carry out a program known as the 
     Facilities and Infrastructure Recapitalization and Repair 
     Program to reduce the backlog of deferred maintenance and 
     repair needs of the nuclear security enterprise (as defined 
     in section 4002(6) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 
     U.S.C. 2501(6)). The Administrator shall ensure that, by not

     SEC. 3121. DESIGN COMPETITION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) In January 2016, the co-chairs of a congressionally-
     mandated study panel from the National Academies of Science 
     testified before the House Committee on Armed Services that:
       (A) ``The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 
     complex must engage in robust design competitions in order to 
     exercise the design and production skills that underpin 
     stockpile stewardship and are necessary to meet evolving 
     threats.''
       (B) ``To exercise the full set of design skills necessary 
     for an effective nuclear deterrent, the NNSA should develop 
     and conduct the first in what the committee envisions to be a 
     series of design competitions that integrate the full end-to-
     end process from novel design conception through engineering, 
     building, and non-nuclear testing of a prototype.''
       (2) In March 2016 testimony before the House Committee on 
     Armed Services regarding a December 2016 Defense Science 
     Board (DSB) report titled, ``Seven Defense Priorities for the 
     New Administration'', members of the DSB said:
       (A) ``A key contributor to nuclear deterrence is the 
     continuous, adaptable exercise of the development, design, 
     and production functions for nuclear weapons in both the DOD 
     and DOE... Yet the DOE laboratories and DOD contractor 
     community have done little integrated design and development 
     work outside of life extension for 25 years, let alone 
     concept development that could serve as a hedge to 
     surprise.''
       (B) ``The Defense Science Board believes that the triad's 
     complementary features remain robust tenets for the design of 
     a future force. Replacing our current, aging force is 
     essential, but not sufficient in the more complex nuclear 
     environment we now face to provide the adaptability or 
     flexibility to confidently hold at risk what adversaries 
     value. In particular, if the threat evolves in ways that 
     favorably change the cost/benefit calculus in the view of an 
     adversary's leadership, then we should be in a position to 
     quickly restore a credible deterrence posture.''
       (3) In a memorandum dated May 9, 2014, then-Secretary of 
     Energy Ernie Moniz said:
       (A) ``If nuclear military capabilities are to provide 
     deterrence for the nation they need to be relevant to the 
     emerging global strategic environment. The current stockpile 
     was designed to meet the needs of a bipolar world with roots 
     in the Cold War era. A more complex, chaotic, and dynamic 
     security environment is emerging. In order to uphold the 
     Department's mission to ensure an effective nuclear 
     deterrent... we must

[[Page H5649]]

     ensure our nuclear capabilities meet the challenges of known 
     and potential geopolitical and technological trends. 
     Therefore we must look ahead, using the expertise of our 
     laboratories, to how the capabilities that may be employed by 
     other nations could impact deterrence over the next several 
     decades.''
       (B) ``We must challenge our thinking about our programs of 
     record in order to permit foresighted actions that may 
     reduce, in the coming decades, the chances for surprise and 
     that buttress deterrence.''
       (b) Design Competition.--
       (1) In general.--In accordance with paragraph (2), the 
     Administrator for Nuclear Security, in coordination with the 
     Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council, shall carry out a 
     new and comprehensive design competition for a nuclear 
     warhead that could be employed on ballistic missiles of the 
     United States by 2030. Such competition shall--
       (A) examine options for warhead design and related delivery 
     system requirements in the 2030s, including--
       (i) life extension of existing weapons;
       (ii) new capabilities; and
       (iii) such other concepts that the Administrator and 
     Chairman determine necessary to fully exercise and create 
     responsive design capabilities in the enterprise and ensure a 
     robust nuclear deterrent into the 2030s;
       (B) assess how the capabilities and defenses that may be 
     employed by other nations could impact deterrence in 2030 and 
     beyond and how such threats could be addressed or mitigated 
     in the warhead and related delivery systems;
       (C) exercise the full set of design skills necessary for an 
     effective nuclear deterrent and responsive enterprise through 
     production of conceptual designs and, as the Administrator 
     determines appropriate, production of non-nuclear prototypes 
     of components or subsystems; and
       (D) examine and recommend actions for significantly 
     shortening timelines and significantly reducing costs 
     associated with design, development, certification, and 
     production of the warhead, without reducing worker or public 
     health and safety.
       (2) Timing.--The Administrator shall--
       (A) during fiscal year 2018 develop a plan to carry out 
     paragraph (1); and
       (B) during fiscal year 2019 implement such plan.
       (c) Briefing.--Not later than March 1, 2018, the 
     Administrator, in coordination with the Chairman of the 
     Nuclear Weapons Council, shall provide a briefing to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives on the plan of the Administrator to carry out 
     the warhead design competition under subsection (b). Such 
     briefing shall include an assessment of the costs, benefits, 
     risks, and opportunities of such plan, particularly impacts 
     to ongoing life extension programs and infrastructure 
     projects.

                 Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Conaway

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Add at the end of subtitle B of title III the following:

     SEC. 316. PROHIBITION ON CONTRACTS OR AWARDS FOR DROP-IN 
                   BIOFUELS OR BIOREFINERIES DURING SEQUESTRATION.

       (a) In General.--The Department of Defense may not, during 
     fiscal year 2018 through 2021, enter into any new contracts 
     or make any new award, and no funds may be obligated or 
     expended, with respect to drop-in biofuels or biorefineries.
       (b) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) Drop-in biofuel.--The term ``drop-in biofuel'' means a 
     neat of blended liquid hydrocarbon fuel designed as a direct 
     replacement for a traditional fuel with comparable 
     performance characteristics and compatible with existing 
     infrastructure and equipment.
       (2) Biorefinery.--The term ``biorefinery'' means--
       (A) a facility that converts or proposes to convert 
     renewable biomass into advanced biofuels (as such term is 
     defined under section 9001 of the Farm Security and Rural 
     Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 8101)); and
       (B) a facility (including equipment and processes) that 
     converts renewable biomass into biofuels and biobased 
     products (as such terms are defined, respectively, under 
     section 9001 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 
     2002).

     SEC. 317. CALCULATION OF THE COST OF DROP-IN FUELS.

       Section 2922h of title 10, United States Code, is amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsection (c) as subsection (d); and
       (2) by inserting after subsection (b) the following:
       ``(c) Inclusion of Financial Contributions From Other 
     Federal Departments and Agencies.--For purposes of 
     calculating the fully burdened cost of drop-in fuel under 
     subsection (a), for a proposed purchase to be made on or 
     after the beginning of fiscal year 2022, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall include in such calculation any financial 
     contributions made by other Federal departments and 
     agencies.''.


[[Page H5722]]


  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. Conaway) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Chairman, this amendment is a pretty straightforward 
amendment. It does two things. One, it saves and conserves valuable 
taxpayer dollars to be used on higher priority issues, and it holds the 
Department of Defense accountable for current law.
  Mr. Chairman, we currently have in place a variety of agreements with 
folks who buy biofuels at costs ranging up to $28 a gallon. The Army 
actually bought some at $40 a gallon. At a time when you have heard, 
for over an hour now, the need for conserving resources, for 
reprioritizing resources, having those kind of contracts, new contracts 
come in existence makes no sense whatsoever.
  This amendment would simply say that while sequestration is going on, 
while we are under the draconian measures of sequestration, the Army, 
Department of Defense, Navy, Air Force will not enter into new 
contracts. Existing contracts, wherever they may be, however costly 
they might be, would continue forward, we would honor those and the 
amendments made in that regard.
  But as long as we are under sequestration and we are under this 
budgeting process that you have heard ad nauseam over the last hour or 
so, these would prevent this problem from going forward.
  Then if sequestration goes away on its own or we somehow lift it 
ourselves, then this restriction would be lifted and then new contracts 
could be entered into, but those contracts would then have an 
accounting clause in it, or the accounting department at the Pentagon 
would have an accounting process in which the cost of the fuels would 
have to take into account all of the other agencies who have been 
contributing to this fund.
  Early on, there was a $510 million pot of money created by the 
Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and the Department of 
Agriculture, using the Commodities Credit Corporation to fund this $510 
million. None of us know where that money went. It was supposed to do a 
refinery, but we don't know that. We can't prove that.
  We do know that they bought jet fuel at $28 a gallon under this 
program. Normally, at that same timeframe, they also bought jet fuel 
for $3.35 a gallon. So 25 bucks a gallon differential, 2 million 
gallons bought at the higher prices, that is $51 million of taxpayer 
dollars that were, I believe, misapplied and misprioritized in these 
tough times.
  This program came into existence, in no small part, because of 
America's reliance on overseas sources of oil. This all predates the 
last 6 years of effort that has gone on in order to create the energy 
independence that we see on the horizon, given shale drilling and all 
of the opportunity to use these cheaper fuels.
  So I ask my colleagues to support the amendment. This makes sense. It 
does not squander taxpayer resources. It does not affect existing 
contracts. It would only be for new contracts. The industry itself, of 
course, is going to be for it because they are selling a commodity at 
$28 a gallon versus $3 a gallon, and you would expect them to be 
against my amendment. But my amendment is for the servicemen and -women 
and for the taxpayers.
  Mr. Chair, I encourage a ``yes'' vote, and I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Chair, before I proceed, I wanted to take a quick 
few seconds to thank and recognize Chairman Thornberry and Ranking 
Member Smith as a freshman member of the 115th Congress. It has been 
refreshing to see such bipartisan tone in leadership, so I just wanted 
to recognize them for those qualities and skills.
  With the Department of Defense struggling to rein in spending while 
keeping our military strong and our country protected, it is amendments 
like Mr. Conaway's that are unnecessarily impeding cost competition and 
reductions that come with public-private partnerships.
  This amendment limits competition between alternative fuel sources 
and may even force DOD to pay more by explicitly prohibiting purchases 
of cheaper fuel. That is not only inefficient, it is irresponsible.
  The Department of Defense is the single largest energy consumer in 
the world. We should be incentivizing the diversification of liquid 
fuels as an option to bring down costs and reduce regulatory burden.
  Not only does this amendment risk increased costs for DOD 
procurement, but it also stunts potential economic growth in the 
rapidly expanding biofuel field, a billion-dollar industry worldwide.
  Yet another troubling result of this amendment, if passed, is its 
potential to impede military operations where an alternative fuel may 
be the only option available.
  It is unethical to endanger our men and women in uniform with this 
ban, and, at the very least, a waiver should be included for national 
security matters.
  Military leaders and experts have told Armed Services Committee 
members time and time again about the direct threat that climate 
change, particularly sea level rise, poses to our military operations 
and installations both at home in places like Norfolk and abroad.
  My colleague, Mr. Langevin, included language in this year's NDAA 
that specifically acknowledges this threat. It directs the Defense 
Department to study the impact of climate change and prepare an 
effective strategy to address its effects.
  We have long known that carbon pollution and fossil fuels are heavily 
contributing to a changing climate and the extreme weather patterns 
that accompany this phenomenon. It is irresponsible for this Congress 
to ignore this reality and not even consider cost-effective and more 
clean energy sources for our military.
  Finally, I would like to point out that this amendment is completely 
unnecessary. Current law already prohibits DOD from purchasing 
alternative fuel in large quantities unless it is cost-competitive with 
traditional fuel. I urge my colleagues to oppose this misguided 
amendment that does far more harm than good to our Defense Department 
and to our servicemembers.

  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Chair, how much time do I have?
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas has 2 minutes remaining.
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Chair, the gentleman is incorrect in the sense that 
this does not, over the next year or 2 or 3, however long sequestration 
is going to be in place, measurably affect climate change one way or 
the other. The small amounts of fuel that are allowed to be purchased 
in excess of competitive costs are 2 million gallons at 28 bucks a 
gallon.
  The Department of Defense buys 107 billion gallons of fuel, so any 
number up to some multimillion dollar number, million gallon amount 
could be hidden under this amount. We also don't have a good accounting 
process to understand exactly what those costs are when they enter into 
these contracts, and asking the Department of Agriculture to subsidize 
this process doesn't make any sense either.
  In order to hide from the program, the issue is the Department of 
Defense buys the fuel, they send a bill to the Commodities Credit 
Corporation to actually pay for it. So it is not even on the Department 
of Defense's books and records to get the proper accounting to make 
sure. This is straightforward stuff.
  You can't, on the one hand, argue that we need to provide all that 
needs to be provided for our men and women to fight and spend an extra 
$51 billion, plus $510 million that we don't know where that went on a 
product that can be brought for $3.35 a gallon.
  I would argue there is nowhere in the world today where we need drop-
in jet fuel that can be provided somewhere else. That argument is 
specious and it makes no sense whatsoever. That may be some future 
issue, but that is not today.
  Giving the shale drilling and the opportunity to provide fossil fuels 
for our military and their direct mission of fighting, not doing the 
other things to try to support this issue, makes no

[[Page H5723]]

sense. So I ask my colleagues to vote for this commonsense amendment. 
It does not affect the existing contracts, and it is a better use of 
taxpayer dollars, and it is better for the members of the service to 
put a hiatus on new contracts while we are under sequestration and all 
of the things that have been talked about.
  So I encourage my colleagues to support the amendment. And with that, 
I yield to the chairman for any comments he might have.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman from Texas has expired.
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Chair, I will point out that those figures are 
incorrect as stated by my colleague.
  In 2015, the DOD paid $2.03 for 77,660 gallons of fuel at a 10 
percent blend. I just wanted to correct the record because those are 
the accurate figures, and I think those figures speak volumes.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Texas (Mr. Conaway).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed.
  It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3 printed in part B of 
House report 115-212.


                  Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Polis

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle A of title X in division A, add the 
     following new section:

     SEC. ___. REDUCTION OF AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

       (a) Reduction.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     Act, but subject to subsection (b), the President, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
     Energy, and the Administrator for Nuclear Security, shall 
     make such reductions in the amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated under this Act in such manner as the President 
     considers appropriate to achieve an aggregate reduction of 1 
     percent of the total amount of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated under this Act. Such reduction shall be in 
     addition to any other reduction of funds required by law.
       (b) Exclusions.--In carrying out subsection (a), the 
     President shall not reduce the amount of funds for the 
     following accounts:
       (1) Military personnel, reserve personnel, and National 
     Guard personnel accounts of the Department of Defense.
       (2) The Defense Health Program account.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from 
Colorado (Mr. Polis) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I might consume.
  Mr. Chairman, at a time when we need to balance our budget and 
prevent a legacy of debt from being left to the next generation, it is 
really time to ask ourselves: Not only should we blast through the 
budget caps, but can't we afford to at least make a small and important 
step towards protecting our fiscal security as a nation, which is a 
critical part of our national security?
  By spending beyond our means, we make ourselves economically beholden 
to other nations like China and Saudi Arabia. That makes America less 
secure rather than more secure.
  As structured, the NDAA is fiscally irresponsible. We have had a 
number of discussions about that, that outside of the context of a full 
budget discussion, it is hard to talk about exceeding the Budget 
Control Act by 72.5 billion, an additional $10 billion of base 
spending. It is a broader discussion about the budget that needs to be 
had.
  What my amendment would do, very simply, Mr. Chairman, is give 
authority to the President of the United States and the Secretary of 
Defense and the Secretary of Energy to reduce the overall amount of 
money authorized in this bill by 1 percent.
  It excludes personnel and health accounts from being included in 
these reductions. A 1 percent reduction still leaves us well above the 
original Defense cap spending levels that I actually support.

                              {time}  2045

  If I had my way, I would keep those budget numbers for defense 
spending, but I think this 1 percent is a very reasonable compromise 
for those of us who believe that we need to at least show a symbolic 
gesture towards fiscal responsibility as we head into the budget 
negotiations.
  In this bill, there are many overfunded accounts. Accounts are funded 
at levels above and beyond what our own military requested. A 1 percent 
reduction in that context is extremely reasonable. It is $6.2 billion 
out of this bill. I have no doubt that there are many ways to find the 
excess money in the bill that we would leave up to the military to 
reach that spending level.
  We can consider numerous programs. This doesn't have to be across the 
board. We can consider programs where the bill authorizes procurement 
levels that exceed the President's request and the military's request. 
My colleague from Massachusetts pointed this out during the bill's 
markup when he introduced an amendment to reduce the number of littoral 
combat ships from three to the Navy's own request of one. We are 
effectively blocking the Navy from making a fiscally reasonable 
decision.
  There are dozens more--helicopters, aircraft, and missiles--than the 
President even requested in his budget. So we are not going to cut 
every one of those items. Many of them have found their way onto the 
unfunded priority list which the Pentagon provides the Congress.
  In a perfect world, if we had all the money in the world, we could 
have included all those items. But at some point, we have to make some 
decisions about the direction of our military budget, and we can't 
allow ourselves to be convinced that somehow we can sustain this level 
of spending. We can't.
  Frankly, even with this 1 percent cut, the level of spending is 
unsustainable and plunges us further into debt; but I think, hopefully, 
that is the least that Democrats and Republicans in Congress can come 
together around as a simple first step.
  My amendment is a very small first step. We don't have to choose 
between protecting the homeland and fiscal restraint. When Congress is 
imposing spending that the military itself doesn't even want, here is a 
vehicle to hand the military the ability to rein in some of that 
unnecessary spending that reduces our national security rather than 
improves it.
  I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on my amendment and take 
this modest step towards fiscal responsibility.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Turner), chair of the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land 
Forces.
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, this amendment is not about fiscal 
security. It is arbitrary. It is arbitrary cuts without any reference 
whatsoever to our security risks, without any assessments to the needs 
of our military, and it is incorrectly stated that we are giving things 
to our military that they do not want. In fact, they needed more.
  There is a whole category called unfunded requirements that they put 
before the House Armed Services Committee. And I want to say that 
again: unfunded requirements. It is not unfunded wishes, unfunded 
needs--unfunded requirements. And they are based on the mission that we 
have assigned the military and their inability to do so as a result of 
that gap, and many of which we were unable to fund in this bill.
  What would some of those relate to? We could take a tour around the 
world and we know the risks that we are facing: China, Russia, North 
Korea, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, ISIS, terrorism. These are not 
issues that you take up lightly and then say we can undertake an 
arbitrary cut.
  By the way, if this was really about fiscal security, it would be a 1 
percent cut across all spending, but it is only

[[Page H5724]]

going to apply to the military. This doesn't apply to the IRS. It 
doesn't apply to the EPA. This is only saying that the military should 
be cut as a result of some concept of fiscal savings.
  But the savings that we have taken have damaged our military already. 
The Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, General Stephen Wilson, at HASC, 
testified in February of this year, `` . . . we have become one of the 
smallest, oldest equipped, and least ready forces across the full 
spectrum of operations in our service history,'' the entire history of 
the Air Force.
  In 1991, we went to Desert Storm. Our Air Force was 500,000 people 
and 134 fighter squadrons. Today we find ourselves at 317 in our active 
force, with 55 fighter squadrons.
  The Navy is the same. It is the smallest since World War II. 
Deployments continue to increase, and training and maintenance periods 
have been shortened, eliminated, or deferred.
  The number of Marine Corps infantry battalions have been reduced by 
four since 2010, going from 28 to 24.
  Admiral William Moran, the Vice Chief of Naval Operations, has also 
indicated that of the Navy aircraft, 60 percent are unable to operate.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman.
  Mr. TURNER. At the end of this amendment, it incorrectly states that 
there should be no cuts to military personnel, and it incorrectly 
states that because the rest of the cuts actually apply to our military 
personnel. It applies to what we ask them to do and what we give them 
to do the job.
  Our military should be honored. It should not be faced with 
additional cuts. We should honor what is in this bill. We should 
satisfy their requirements, and we should support our men and women in 
uniform.
  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chair, the gentleman asked why aren't there cuts for 
other agencies. That is not the bill we have before us. We have the 
National Defense Authorization bill before us. I have supported similar 
cuts in various agencies when we have had those appropriations bills on 
the floor.

  This is the biggest bill on the authorization side, and then, of 
course, the companion appropriations bill. This is over 40 percent of 
our discretionary expenditures, and the authorization for 40 percent of 
our discretionary expenditures is in this bill. So a 1 percent cut is 
very meaningful in this bill.
  That doesn't mean that 1 percent cuts in other areas aren't 
meaningful, too. They are.
  There is no single other area that is as important, fiscally, as this 
area, and I think it would set a positive tone for reining in out-of-
control spending.
  There are many accounts that are funded at levels above President 
Trump's request. So if the gentleman is saying somehow that this cut 
would leave anybody unprepared, he is basically saying that President 
Trump's budget would leave the military unprepared or leave people 
poorly equipped.
  The truth is there are many of us who support vastly lower spending 
levels and believe that those are sufficient for national defense. That 
is not even what this amendment does. It simply reduces spending just 
over $6.2 billion. It still blasts through the budget cap.
  Mr. Chair, the ranking member has indicated that he supports this 
bill, and I deeply respect his expertise in military preparedness. I 
encourage my colleagues to unanimously adopt my amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman 
from Georgia (Mr. Jody B. Hice).
  Mr. JODY B. HICE of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong 
opposition to this amendment.
  As we all know, over the past 8 years, the world certainly has become 
a more dangerous place, and we face a variety of threats that, quite 
frankly, we are not keeping pace with, and we simply cannot continue a 
pattern of underfunding our military.
  Yes, we must keep our financial house in order, but we absolutely 
cannot afford to allow the quality of our national defense to decline 
by further defense budget cuts.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Chairman, I oppose this amendment. I am concerned about a growing 
notion that we can thank servicemembers for their service but then 
somehow not provide them everything they need to do their job, that we 
can continue to allow them to have airplanes that don't fly, ships that 
can't sail, not having the readiness they need to prepare for the 
missions we send them on. As the gentleman from Ohio said, that hurts 
people, and, unfortunately, that is what has happened in recent years.
  Mr. Chairman, defense spending this year is still 18 percent below 
what it was in 2010. So what has happened is we have cut the defense 
budget while the threats that we send our military out to keep us safe 
from have grown. And remember, 2010 was before Russia invaded Crimea, 
before China started building islands in the South China Sea, before 
ISIS even existed.
  This budget that is before us does not fix all our problems. It is a 
start, and I think it is about as much as we can do in a single year. 
But even if this bill passes, we are not up to 2010 levels; we have not 
made up the ground that we have lost.
  I believe that the men and women who serve deserve our best. This 
bill, I believe, comes close to providing our best to them this year. 
It should be supported, and this amendment should be rejected.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Colorado (Mr. Polis).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 5 Offered by Ms. Jayapal

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 5 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Chairman, I rise as the designee of the gentleman 
from Wisconsin, and I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:
       Page 451, after line 6, insert the following:

     SEC. 1073. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING INVESTING IN THE 
                   HOMELAND TO ADVANCE NATIONAL SECURITY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) A strong and safe homeland rests on the health and 
     wellbeing of America's communities.
       (2) Federal non-defense discretionary spending provides 
     health care for our veterans, research to tackle cancer, safe 
     highways, airports and waterways, economic security for 
     families in need, and robust law enforcement.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     any increase to the combined amount authorized to be 
     appropriated for National Defense Budget (Function 50) and 
     Overseas Contingency Operations should be matched--dollar for 
     dollar--with increases in the annual amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated for the Federal non-defense discretionary 
     budget, which makes investments that are essential to the 
     national security of the United States.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from 
Washington (Ms. Jayapal) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Washington.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Chairman, the reality is that our economic security 
is part and parcel of our national security, and so it is in line with 
these values today that we introduce Amendment 334 to the National 
Defense Authorization Act, which states a sense of Congress that any 
appropriated increase to the combined national defense budget and the 
overseas contingency operations budget are matched dollar for dollar by 
nondefense discretionary spending increases.
  For years now, these spending increases have occurred concurrently 
and equally, keeping important parity between defense and nondefense 
discretionary spending. Because genuine national security depends on 
the health, vibrancy, and safety of our communities, we must ensure 
that the spending parity continues and that this Democratic Party 
principle carries on into fiscal year 2018.

[[Page H5725]]

  Nondefense discretionary spending includes a host of funds that are 
crucial to the American people, from education to research, to 
veterans' healthcare, to transportation and even homeland security. NDD 
funding is absolutely essential to moving our country forward.
  Mr. Chairman, as vice ranking member of the Budget Committee, I echo 
the comments made earlier by our ranking member, Mr. Smith, about the 
dysfunction that we have, as we have yet to consider a fiscal year 2018 
budget resolution, and we have only 23 legislative days before the new 
fiscal year begins.
  The effort to push through $696 billion in defense spending will 
trigger sequestration under the Budget Control Act, and our communities 
will pay the price in cuts to vital programs. This is senseless 
brinksmanship, and we must reject it.
  Sequestration would, further, hinder job creation and stall economic 
growth by cutting $2 trillion in discretionary spending for 
infrastructure that makes our communities thrive: roads, bridges, 
transit, railroad systems, broadband, ports, airports, waterways, 
schools, and safe, clean water systems. It will erode our investments 
in education, worker training, public health, and community development 
that strengthen the middle class and working families; and these 
shortfalls, Mr. Chairman, will hurt the American people and our economy 
and make us less secure as a nation.
  Budgetary gimmicks don't make our Nation safer either, and that is 
why in the People's Budget, which we introduced in the Progressive 
Caucus, the overseas contingency operations budget is actually zeroed 
out, as it is essentially a zero accountability slush fund used to 
avoid the restrictions imposed by the Budget Control Act.
  Some have pointed out that $10 billion of the $631.5 billion for the 
military base budget needs is actually labeled OCO purely as a 
technicality to evade the Budget Control Act caps. This is in addition 
to the clearly marked $65 billion of OCO funds.
  By including OCO funding one-to-one match in our amendment, we are 
sending a message that we will not accept these efforts to undermine 
the best interests of our country and its people.
  Increasing opaque funding sources comes at the expense of our 
Nation's infrastructure programs, education, and all the other things 
that I mentioned earlier. So to the extent that Congress provides 
relief from the post-sequestration funding levels for our military, 
responsible Members of this body should be united in insisting that the 
same relief would apply to domestic discretionary spending. This 
amendment underscores the reality that economic security is national 
security.
  For these reasons, and to support the continuation of this important 
principle, we urge support of this amendment.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. I yield myself 2 minutes.
  Mr. Chairman, in some ways, I think this may be one of the most 
important debates we have in the next 3 days because the question is 
whether our support for the men and women who serve in the military is 
conditional or not. Will we only repair the planes they fly, will we 
only fix the ships they sail if, and only if, exactly an equal amount 
will be added to domestic spending programs.

                              {time}  2100

  Will we only provide for military spouses for their needs? Will we 
only take care of wounded warriors for their increased needs if, and 
only if, an exact amount, the exact dollar for dollar, is added to 
domestic programs?
  That holds the military hostage to a domestic political agenda, and I 
think that is fundamentally wrong at every level. These men and women 
go out and risk their lives to keep us safe, yet they not only have to 
worry about North Korea up on the DMZ, they not only have to worry 
about ISIS in Syria, they have to worry about whether we will pass some 
domestic program if we are going to adequately provide for them.
  The Constitution says it is Congress' responsibility to provide for 
the military without condition. This sort of approach, saying, ``We 
will only do this for the military if, and only if, we get what we want 
on domestic programs'' breaks faith with the men and women who serve. 
It is wrong at every level.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
  The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Washington has 1\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
distinguished gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, there is nothing political 
about a domestic agenda, and this isn't conditional on additional money 
being spent. In fact, the chairman has got it exactly flip-flop.
  The money that we are providing for the armed services at this point, 
the extra money, is conditioned on cutting it from everything else. As 
we saw in President Trump's budget, $54 billion-plus up for defense and 
$54 billion taken away from the domestic agenda.
  And it is beyond insulting to say that if you support any sort of 
domestic spending, you don't care about the troops. That being 
concerned about transportation and infrastructure, which, by the way, 
bridges have collapsed and killed people in this country because of the 
problems with our transportation and infrastructure.
  The Department of Homeland Security is part of nondefense 
discretionary spending. Does it not protect us? We have heard from the 
President it does.
  The State Department is also part of nondefense discretionary 
spending, where we have heard from the Secretary of Defense that it 
saves lives.
  So for our committee--the Armed Services Committee to say, ``We are 
all that matters, to hell with everything else; and if you care at all 
about transportation or domestic agenda, you don't care about the 
troops,'' that is what is an incredibly disingenuous argument.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute.
  Mr. Chairman, I think all of us care about domestic spending 
programs. I certainly do. And I am not for the cuts that were proposed 
by the administration. That is what we are here to do and decide.
  What I am opposed to is the sense of Congress that every dollar we 
increase in defense has to be matched by an increased dollar on the 
domestic side. That makes it conditional. That makes it tied to a 
domestic political agenda on the EPA, the IRS, education, 
transportation, whatever it is.
  My point is that all of those things need to stand on their own 
merits. Defense needs to stand on its own merits, support for our 
military needs to stand on its own merits, having planes that fly and 
ships that sail and adequate funding for our troops and their families 
stand on their own merits.
  It cannot be conditional upon whether or not this Congress or this 
President agrees on other spending items. They need to stand on their 
own two feet, too. But it is absolutely wrong to say we will only 
support these military folks if we get what we want on the domestic 
side.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Chairman, I have to say that this is conditional 
because we still don't have a budget resolution. So in the absence of a 
budget resolution, the reality is we are looking at a budget that could 
potentially raise $676 billion for defense, but at the expense of all 
of the other programs that we have mentioned.
  And the reality is that families in the armed services also care 
about education, about healthcare, about roads, and about everything 
else that is funded in domestic spending. So we have to make sure that 
these two things are interconnected. And, yes, we have got to make sure 
that the State Department is funded and that we continue to push for a 
budget that keeps parity between defense and nondefense discretionary.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. DesJarlais), a valuable member of our 
committee.

[[Page H5726]]

  

  Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Chairman, no one can deny we have a readiness 
issue within our military due to funding shortfalls. This comes at a 
time when we are facing unprecedented threats all over the globe. Our 
Constitution makes it clear that our top priority and duty is to 
provide for the common defense.
  In World War II, Americans willingly rationed whatever was necessary 
to support the war effort and our troops. It would have been 
unthinkable--unimaginable--for someone to suggest that our military 
could not have the resources necessary to defeat our enemies, unless we 
had equal spending for everything else. Simply put, we would have lost 
the war and our freedom.
  We cannot lose sight or take for granted our Nation's safety and 
security. Without it, the rest of the discretionary budget really 
doesn't matter so much.
  I fear America has lost its way if we live in a culture that would 
suggest that we can't support our most vital obligation without equal 
financial representation of our other government expenditures.
  I urge my colleagues to give our full support to the men and women in 
uniform, support the underlying bill, but oppose this amendment that 
adds unnecessarily to our debt and further threatens our ability to 
keep our Nation safe for the remaining threats we face.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Jayapal).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Washington will be 
postponed.


                 Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Nadler

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       In division A, strike section 1022 (relating to prohibition 
     on use of funds for transfer or release of individuals 
     detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba 
     to the United States).

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Nadler) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, my amendment will strike section 1022 of the bill that 
prohibits the transfer or release of prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, 
Cuba, to the United States.
  We are currently imprisoning 41 people at Guantanamo, 26 of whom are 
being detained indefinitely without charge or trial, with no 
proceedings, no hearings, and no opportunity to plea their case, 
essentially forever.
  Beyond existing as an affront to fundamental American values, 
Guantanamo is a dangerous counterproductive relic of the past. National 
security experts and our own military commanders agree that Guantanamo 
harms our national security by serving as a recruiting tool for 
terrorists and damaging our relationships with allies.
  Furthermore, it is increasingly difficult to justify the annual cost 
of holding each Guantanamo detainee, which is now climbing to an 
incredible $10 million a year per detainee. Guantanamo is now the most 
expensive prison on Earth, costing U.S. taxpayers approximately $445 
million per year. This is especially disappointing when you consider 
that each prisoner in Federal maximum security penitentiaries costs 
only $78,000 a year. Not only does our refusal to close Guantanamo 
diminish our legal and ethical reputation throughout the world, it also 
costs American citizens astronomical sums of money for no purpose.
  We have made excellent progress towards reducing the numbers of 
prisoners, and we should continue to do so. About 35 percent of 
released prisoners were confirmed or suspected of returning to the 
battlefield during the Bush administration. But the Obama 
administration developed a robust framework to ensure released 
detainees were more closely supervised to reduce the likelihood of a 
return to the battlefield.
  The Bush administration struck diplomatic bills to repatriate large 
batches of prisoners to countries like Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan in 
bulk, and many recidivists came from those batches.
  By contrast, the Obama administration developed an individualized 
review process by six agencies to determine whether to recommend 
transferring a detainee. Over time, it also developed more careful 
diplomatic and monitoring plans with receiving countries to ease a 
prisoner's reintegration into that country's society.
  When the first detainees arrived at Guantanamo in January 2002, 
America was still reeling from the 9/11 attacks, and the war in 
Afghanistan had only just begun. Yet, 15 years later, it is clear that 
the war on terror has dragged on for too long, as we have expanded our 
involvement in costly clashes in Yemen, Somalia, and Syria. In doing 
so, we have embroiled ourselves in needless, endless conflict, without 
an exit strategy or a clear strategy for success.
  The recent vote for Congresswoman Barbara Lee's amendment to repeal 
the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force in the House 
Appropriations Committee demonstrated that Congress is finally 
realizing a blank check for perpetual war must be reevaluated and 
reconsidered.
  Similarly, as we reconsider the 2001 AUMF, I look forward to working 
together in a bipartisan manner to close the Guantanamo prison, 
reevaluate our approach to these detainees, and close another dark and 
sad chapter that has damaged our national honor.
  Guantanamo's continued operation provides a momentous challenge to 
the founding principles of the United States, that no person may be 
deprived of liberty without due process of law, and certainly may not 
be deprived of liberty indefinitely without due process of law, and for 
each day that its doors remain open, it becomes increasingly difficult 
for our Nation to claim the moral and ethical high ground.
  We must close the detention facility at Guantanamo now, and this 
amendment will help us achieve that goal.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition to the 
Nadler amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chairman, the Nadler amendment would allow 
detainees currently housed at GTMO to be transferred to the United 
States. As in previous conflicts, it is appropriate and lawful to hold 
detainees that we engage in our armed conflicts.
  Guantanamo is the safest and most appropriate location to house these 
detainees. Members can visit there. It is secure and relatively distant 
from the United States.
  Moving to the U.S. puts our homeland and citizens at risk. Our 
enemies have, when able, attacked and, on occasion, freed detainees, 
even committing suicide to do it. I have seen the attempts. I have 
served in Iraq at a detention facility.
  And as far as Guantanamo being a recruitment tool, it might just be a 
recruitment tool, and here is why. Because if you are caught trying to 
kill Americans and committing acts of terrorism, you get to go to a 
Caribbean island that provides humane conditions for the detainees. Go 
visit there and you will see that. They have appropriate access to 
healthcare, the same healthcare that our troops get. They have 
recreational activities, and they have cultural and religious 
materials.
  But, more important than anything else, our troops, and the detainees 
that they hold there, are all safer in Cuba. It is very difficult to 
sneak up and attack Guantanamo Bay.
  The recent terrorist attacks in Europe should remind us all that 
there is significant risk, and that we face significant risk in this 
world. Yes, we wish the war on terror was over. But guess what. It is 
not.
  This would only increase the risk right here in our own backyards. 
Congress has passed, and the President has

[[Page H5727]]

signed into law, restrictions on Guantanamo detainee transfers to the 
U.S. every year since fiscal year 2010. To house these terrorists, 
these enemies of freedom on our own land is dangerous. I ask for your 
support in defeating this amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from New York has 1\1/4\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 15 seconds.
  I will simply observe that this amendment prohibits the President 
from transferring prisoners.
  Do you really think that Donald Trump, the current President, needs 
the prohibition that he would transfer prisoners to maximum security 
prisons in the United States if it weren't safe to do so?
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Nebraska (Mr. Bacon), my friend and colleague.
  Mr. BACON. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in strong opposition to this 
amendment.
  I can attest unequivocally, based on firsthand knowledge, that this 
latest attempt to transfer detainees at Guantanamo Bay is strategically 
unwise and, I believe, morally wrong. None of the arguments in favor of 
transferring these prisoners are defensible militarily, legally, or 
financially.
  We are in a war and these prisoners were captured on the battlefield. 
There is no hard evidence to support the argument that Guantanamo is a 
decisive recruiting tool, and is extremely naive to believe that 
closing it would somehow magically change the hearts and minds of our 
enemies. We could disarm and renounce every interest we have and they 
would just invent another reason to attack us.
  The truth is that many of these prisoners are the worst of the worst, 
yet they are treated better than many of our own veterans. And here is 
the key point: prisoners released from Guantanamo have killed Americans 
in the past and, if given the chance, will gladly do so again, a fact 
openly conceded by officials in the Obama administration itself.
  We do not want the blood of Americans killed by these terrorists in 
custody today on our hands.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, it costs the American taxpayer $10 million 
a year per detainee to keep a detainee in Guantanamo. To keep that same 
detainee in a Federal maximum security penitentiary in the United 
States would cost $78,000. That is a ridiculous waste of our military 
budget. Nobody has ever escaped from a Federal maximum security prison.

                              {time}  2115

  Transferring these prisoners to Federal maximum security prisons in 
the United States would pose no danger to anybody.
  And yes, some of these prisoners may be the worst of the worst. Many 
are not. They were not all caught on the battlefield. Some of them were 
sold for bounties by people in different tribes or groups in 
Afghanistan. Some of them were not captured on battlefields at all. 
Some of them are innocent; some are not.
  But to keep them in Guantanamo for $10 million each per year with no 
possibility of getting out is an affront to our values. It is an 
affront to our liberties. It is an affront to our military budget and 
to our pocketbooks, and it is, frankly, plain foolish.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
New York (Ms. Stefanik), my friend and colleague.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to Mr. Nadler's 
amendment, which strikes language that prohibits the use of funds to 
transfer or release Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States.
  As we are all aware here today, GTMO holds some of the world's most 
dangerous and heinous terrorists, individuals who are responsible for 
and are ideologically committed to killing Americans at home and 
abroad. They are responsible for killing our men and women in uniform.
  Transferring these terrorists to the United States, where 
constitutional protections and immigration law may apply, puts our 
national security at risk and hinders our intelligence-gathering 
ability.
  Today, we remain in a war against al-Qaida and all associated forces. 
It is the responsibility of Congress to do everything in our power to 
provide the resources and authorities to win that war, and transferring 
Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States undermines these efforts. 
Therefore, I strongly urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Alabama (Mr. Byrne), my friend and colleague.
  Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Chairman, I oppose the gentleman's amendment. We have 
debated this issue for years now, and every year we successfully 
maintain the prohibition on transferring dangerous detainees out of 
GTMO.
  It is important to remember that most of the 41 remaining prisoners 
are very dangerous. The language in the underlying bill is required to 
keep the American people and our allies safe.
  One of the main goals of Guantanamo Bay is to keep these terrorists 
from returning to the battlefield. Sadly, it has become clear that some 
of the detainees released have returned to the field to fight the 
United States.
  We ask our servicemembers to put their lives on the line each and 
every day in order to keep the American people safe. How can we ask 
them to do that, while knowing that we are releasing cruel, brutal 
terrorists back to the battlefield? It would be reprehensible.
  I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment and protect our 
servicemembers and the American people.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Nadler).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mr. Nadler

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 7 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       In division A, strike section 1023 (prohibition on use of 
     funds to construct or modify facilities in the United States 
     to house detainees transferred from United States Naval 
     Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba).

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Nadler) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I will not take 5 minutes. This amendment 
will strike section 1023 of the bill that prohibits the use of funds to 
construct or modify facilities in the United States for Guantanamo 
detainees. The provision is simply designed to further delay the 
transferred detainees out of Guantanamo and is unnecessary and 
counterproductive.
  The arguments for this amendment and against it are essentially the 
arguments for and against the previous amendment that we just went 
through. That amendment prohibited the use of funds to transfer 
prisoners. This amendment prohibits the use of funds--this provision, 
rather, prohibits the use of funds to construct facilities in the 
United States to receive such transferees. It is essentially the same 
pros and cons.
  I just want to mention, though, that yes, some of those detainees may 
be the worst of the worst, but they will still be detained. But some of 
them are not. They are people who were caught up in bounty situations 
where they were sold for money because we were giving a bounty if 
someone claimed that so and so had been in combat against us, but we 
didn't really know.
  We now know mistakes were made. We may choose to say some of these 
people can go home, and others can stay in the United States. It is 
simply, again, a question that we shouldn't be

[[Page H5728]]

spending $10 million a person, instead of $78,000 a person, to hold 
them in secure facilities.
  The other thing that Ms. Stefanik of New York said I must comment on, 
she said we are holding people in Guantanamo because if we transfer 
them to the United States they will enjoy the constitutional rights of 
prisoners in the United States, and that we don't want to do, for 
whatever reason. She didn't say.
  But the fact of the matter is, Guantanamo was built for that purpose 
because it was thought by the Bush administration initially that people 
held outside of the Continental United States, in Guantanamo, which is 
in Cuba, not the United States, would not enjoy constitutional rights, 
could not use the writ of habeas corpus and other things.
  However, a series of Supreme Court decisions said that was wrong. The 
prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay have the same constitutional rights as 
prisoners held in prisons in the Continental United States, so there is 
no difference on that whatsoever. You can look up the Supreme Court 
decisions. They are not secret.
  And what it comes down to is a prejudice against holding people here 
because of a ridiculous fear that people will escape from maximum 
security prisons, which no one has ever done in the United States, and 
we can't hold dangerous terrorists here, and we shouldn't release 
terrorists.
  But nobody is talking about releasing terrorists. And you can hold 
dangerous terrorists and dangerous mobsters, dangerous all kinds of 
people, in maximum security facilities in the United States.
  There are really two things we should do: bring them to maximum 
security facilities in the United States because it saves a lot of 
money and because it removes a major recruiting tool for our enemies 
abroad. And, within constitutional rights, people should have the 
opportunity to have a hearing.
  What is most offensive is not that they are at Guantanamo, as opposed 
to some prison in the United States, what is most offensive is that we 
are holding some people without any hearing, without any due process, 
essentially forever.
  And yes, we have held people as prisoners of war during the pendency 
of a war. But we don't claim these people are prisoners of war. We 
don't give them the rights of prisoners of war. We are just holding 
them. I am not sure how we are holding them, but we are holding them 
with no claim of any kind of due process, with no finding that they 
have, in fact, been terrorists in an individual case; and that is just 
against all American values.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Missouri is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to this 
irresponsible amendment that allows the construction of facilities in 
the U.S. to house detainees, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``no.'' 
We are still at war with terrorism, and the law of war affirms that 
detainees can properly be held off the battlefield for the duration of 
the hostilities.
  Both Republican and Democrats have repeatedly rejected bringing 
terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay to the United States. It would be 
a negligent act to transfer highly dangerous terrorists, such as 
mastermind of 9/11, to U.S. soil to be housed near our neighborhoods 
and near our families.
  The gentleman said that these, they are not the worst of the worst, 
that some people are just, you know, caught up perhaps, and they are 
there. That is not true. I have been there multiple times. At this 
point, we only have 41 left, and they are the worst of the worst. There 
is no one left who you might even claim was just caught up and 
accidentally arrested. That is false.
  Like I said, I have visited multiple times to see firsthand the 
threats facing our country, and the detention procedures carried out at 
that facility.
  It does not make sense to build a new facility to spend our precious 
defense dollars here to house terrorists when we already have adequate, 
very safe facilities at Guantanamo where they are being treated 
humanely. It is legal and transparent. It is a remote location. It is 
away from the battlefield and away from our loved ones.
  So I urge my colleagues to vote ``no,'' and I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Yoho).
  Mr. YOHO. Mr. Chairman, you will hear, and you have already heard, in 
favor of the Nadler amendment, such as GTMO is contrary to American 
values; detainees can be held safely at less cost in the U.S. prisons, 
and GTMO is a recruiting tool for terrorists.
  Points against the Nadler amendment: the number one task of the 
Federal Government is to provide for the common defense and security of 
the United States of America and American citizens.
  Americans are safer with detainees in Guantanamo versus the homeland.
  GTMO is the safest and most appropriate location to hold detainees. 
It is appropriate and lawful to hold detainees until all al-Qaida and 
associate forces are defeated.
  The law for war detainees, including GTMO detainees, states that they 
cannot be commingled with Federal prisoners, thus requiring separate 
facilities costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
  Evidence of the use of Guantanamo as a recruiting or propaganda tool 
is conjecture, subjective, and inconclusive.
  Terrorists will continue to attack whether GTMO exists or not. 
Terrorists will invent any excuse to attract new recruits.
  I will not support this.
  Mr. NADLER. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Mississippi (Mr. Kelly), my friend and colleague.
  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this 
amendment. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to travel with 
Chairwoman Hartzler to Guantanamo Bay to see firsthand the important 
work our military men and women stationed there are doing for our 
national security.
  As representatives of the people, we have been given a duty by the 
American people to provide for our common defense, and that includes 
appropriately detaining suspected terrorists.
  According to the March 2017 Director of National Intelligence report, 
it estimated 29 percent of former GTMO detainees are confirmed, 17 
percent of those, or suspected, 12 percent, of re-engaging in terrorist 
or insurgent activities. The ones we hold now are the 41 worst of the 
worst, including KSM, and we cannot allow them back onto the 
battlefields.
  These people do not need to be housed on U.S. soil. GTMO is the most 
appropriate and safest place to hold these detainees.
  They live better than I lived both of my tours in Iraq in 2005 and 
2009 and 2010.
  I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
South Carolina (Mr. Wilson).
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I thank Congresswoman 
Hartzler for her leadership, and I thank her for this opportunity to 
speak on this misguided amendment.
  I have visited Guantanamo Bay twice, and I know firsthand the 
detainees at Guantanamo Bay are the worst of the worst, terrorists who 
are conspirators of Osama bin Laden, trained mass murderers, and 
extremists who have a sole intention of killing Americans.
  We have also seen that releasing terrorists from Guantanamo puts 
American families at risk. In a report last year, the Director of 
National Intelligence from the prior administration was clear that at 
least 116 detainees, nearly one-third, released from Guantanamo have 
returned to the battlefield to kill American families.
  As we have seen from the proliferation of terrorists around the 
world, from Algeria and North Africa, through the Middle East, across 
to South Asia and the Philippines, the deterrence of incarceration at 
Guantanamo Bay has never been more important. I urge all of my 
colleagues to reject this amendment.

[[Page H5729]]

  

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I have no additional speakers, and I 
reserve the balance of my time to close.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from New York has 1 minute remaining.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, first of all, no one is proposing to release 
these people, although some probably should be released, but no one is 
proposing that, so take that red herring off the table.
  Second of all, I, too, have visited Guantanamo, and I don't know how 
you tell by visiting Guantanamo that these prisoners are the worst of 
the worst, or not, just by looking at them.
  Thirdly, again, they have the same constitutional rights there as 
here, so you are not changing anything. And bringing them to maximum 
security facilities in the United States, while it may cost some money 
if you had to increase the facilities first, instead of spending $445 
million, or $10 million a detainee, you would be spending $78,000 a 
detainee, which would free up your military budget, part of it, for 
other things.
  There is simply no rational reason for keeping these people in a 
military base in Guantanamo which simply serves as a recruiting tool 
and a measuring rod for our enemies abroad. So again, I urge the 
adoption of this amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  2130

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have?
  The CHAIR. The gentlewoman has 1 minute remaining.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this 
amendment. It is not a wise use of our tax dollars to build new 
facilities here like the gentleman wants to do to detain terrorists 
when we already have adequate facilities that are doing a great job 
right now at Guantanamo Bay. We need to keep our terrorists there, away 
from our families, away from our communities.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to reject this amendment and to vote 
``no,'' and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Nadler).
  The amendment was rejected.


               amendment no. 8 offered by mr. blumenauer

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 8 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 505, line 21, strike ``The'' and insert ``Subject to 
     the limitation in subsection (c), the''.
       Page 506, after line 14, insert the following new 
     subsection:
       (c) Limitation.--The program of record in subsection (a) 
     shall not be established, and none of the funds authorized to 
     be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
     fiscal year 2018 for this section may be obligated or 
     expended, until--
       (1) the Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional 
     defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives that--
       (A) a Nuclear Posture Review has been completed after 
     January 20, 2017;
       (B) a ground-launched intermediate-range missile is the 
     preferred military system, in terms of cost, capability, and 
     command, control, and communications arrangements, for 
     ensuring that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's 
     overall deterrence and defense posture remains credible, 
     flexible, resilient, and adaptable in the face of a deployed 
     Russian ground-launched intermediate-range missile; and
       (C) a ground-launched intermediate-range missile is the 
     preferred military system for maintaining strategic stability 
     with the Russian Federation at reasonable cost, while hedging 
     against potential technical problems or vulnerabilities; and
       (2) the Secretary of State certifies to the congressional 
     defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives that--
       (A) the program of record established in subsection (a), 
     and the expenditure of funds to research or develop such a 
     ground-launched intermediate-range missile, is necessary to 
     the Secretary of State's efforts to verifiably return Russia 
     to full compliance with the INF Treaty;
       (B) at least one NATO Member State government, within a 
     range appropriate to provide counterforce capabilities to 
     prevent intermediate-range ground-launched missile attacks 
     against any NATO Party or to provide countervailing strike 
     capabilities to enhance the forces of the United States or 
     allies of the United States, has completed the necessary 
     legal and constitutional requirements for an agreement to 
     host a ground-launched intermediate-range missile; and
       (C) the North Atlantic Council has endorsed the deployment 
     of a ground-launched intermediate-range missile.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from 
Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Oregon.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chair, my amendment deletes language in this bill 
that would mandate a program of record, green lighting this proposal 
for road-mobile, ground-launched cruise missiles with ranges that, if 
tested or deployed, would violate the United States' obligations under 
the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
  For more than four decades, the United States and Russia have worked 
through bilateral agreements to reduce their nuclear weapons 
stockpiles, saving money, and making the world safer.
  Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush were at the forefront 
of this effort with the START 1 and START II treaties.
  There is a longstanding precedent of carefully negotiating these 
treaties in a bipartisan fashion because these leaders knew that a 
world with less of these weapons meant a safer world for all of us.
  Yet over the last several years, our nuclear weapons proliferation 
has continued on autopilot. Right now we are on track to spend $1.2 
trillion on unneeded nuclear weapons. In fact, the Pentagon has 
concluded that already the United States' security needs could be met 
with one-third fewer strategic warheads deployed than New START limits 
of 1,550.
  We can and should safely right-size the arsenal as envisioned by 
Ronald Reagan and the first President Bush. That is why these treaties 
are so important. They hold us and our adversaries accountable.
  We see some confusing signals from the administration, at times 
appearing to favor nuclear escalation, but at the same time being 
deeply concerned about managing costs.
  President Trump has demonstrated a lack of clear understanding of 
these treaties, but even his administration is fearful that the 
language undermining the treaty in this bill ``unhelpfully ties them to 
a specific missile system.''
  Congress should be playing a lead role in getting us back on track 
with smarter defense spending, not working to abandon this nuclear 
nonproliferation legacy that Ronald Reagan and Bush, Sr., fought so 
hard for.
  We can't simply fund every weapons program on the list while 
fulfilling other critical obligations like providing for our military 
personnel, ensuring we have adequate cybersecurity protections, 
strengthening our command and control infrastructure, not to mention 
our non-Defense Department programs like foreign assistance and 
diplomacy.
  We have a poor track record when it comes to carefully managing and 
budgeting implementation of our weapons programs.
  The House continues this poor record now. Why would we establish a 
program of record for something that our military, our diplomats, and 
our NATO allies haven't asked for?
  Rather than rushing to adopt this program and abandoning a key 
international treaty in the process, let's think this through. Let's do 
our homework to make sure our allies, the Departments of Defense and 
State are all on the same page, and develop a coherent approach to 
bring Russia back into compliance, rather than throw money at yet 
another unnecessary weapons program and undercut that regime.
  This takes our eye off the ball and could have unintended and, I 
think in some instances, devastating consequences.
  Mr. Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote in support of this 
amendment for smarter defense spending and the protection of a landmark 
treaty that is part of the legacy of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. 
Bush.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition.

[[Page H5730]]

  The CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman, Mr. 
Blumenauer, for his amendment, although I urge its defeat.
  I start off with pointing out that both the Obama administration and 
the Trump administration have decided the fact that Russia is in 
violation of the INF Treaty, and neither of those administrations have 
indicated any belief that Russia will come back into compliance.
  But having said that, I want to say I am troubled that the gentleman 
would want to provide a veto on the development of a system that hasn't 
been developed, much less deployed. The gentleman is worried about 
deployment of a system that we still don't have developed yet. And 
hopefully it won't be deployed when it is completed.
  That is really the function of whether Russia comes back into 
compliance. General Selva, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff, testified before the HASC in March: ``They do not intend to 
return to compliance absent some pressure from the international 
community and the United States as a cosigner of that same agreement. 
There is no trajectory in what they are doing that would indicate 
otherwise.''
  The development of this system that we are talking about here today 
is that very pressure that General Selva was referencing. This kind of 
development got the Russians to the table on the INF Treaty anyway, but 
they are violating the treaty. And that doesn't just matter to Europe. 
It matters to Asia, which is completely ignored by the gentleman's 
amendment. And Asia matters on INF. Why? Because 95 percent of China's 
missiles are in INF range.
  The commander of PACOM has testified that he has requirements for 
intermediate-range missile capability in Asia, ``the aspects of the INF 
Treaty that limit our ability to counter Chinese and other countries' 
land-based missiles, I think is problematic. ``
  We didn't conjure the idea of a ground-launched cruise missile out of 
thin air. The U.S. Army reported that introducing intermediate-range 
ground-launched missiles into the land domain provides military 
value across the range of the joint military operations and provides a 
land-based counter to our adversaries' anti-access area denial 
capabilities.

  This report was required by the HASC last year as a part of our 
multiyear oversight on how to respond to Russia's violations of the INF 
Treaty, which the prior administration did nothing to challenge.
  I appreciate the gentleman's interest. I will gladly work with him on 
ways to counter Russia's violations of the treaty, but I must urge 
defeat of this well-intentioned but poorly conceived amendment.
  Mr. Chair, I urge support of the bipartisan approach taken by the 
House Armed Services Committee in sections 1244 and 1245, and I urge a 
vote ``no'' on the Blumenauer amendment.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to the amount of time I 
have remaining?
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Oregon has 1 minute remaining.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chair, the question is how to get Russia into 
compliance. Walking away from our obligations? I think not.
  The amendment allows going ahead if the Department of Defense 
certifies to Congress that it has completed a new nuclear posture 
review to make sure this program fits in the overall strategy; that it 
certifies that it prefers this program to ensure that NATO's overall 
deterrence and defense posture remains credible; that the Department of 
Defense certified it prefers this missile for maintaining strategic 
stability; that State certifies the program of record is necessary to 
help verifiably return Russia to compliance; that at least one NATO 
member state has proven it is serious about hosting the missile; and 
State certifies that the full Atlantic Council has endorsed deployment 
of this missile.
  Those are the conditions in the amendment, and I would think they are 
reasonable conditions that the gentleman should not object to. If he 
truly believes in the merit of his argument, there is no reason that 
that cannot be complied with. And if not, it should not proceed.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, again, I want to remind the 
gentleman that nobody has indicated that Russia has any intention--they 
see no signs that Russia has any intention of coming back into 
compliance.
  I think this is poorly thought out. We need to go forward and not be 
giving vetoes to other people about what weapon systems we can start 
developing.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oregon will be postponed.


        Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Wilson of South Carolina

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the 
desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle G of title XII, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC._12_. RESTRICTION ON FUNDING FOR THE PREPARATORY 
                   COMMISSION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR-TEST-
                   BAN TREATY ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--Congress declares that United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 2310 (September 23, 2016) 
     does not obligate the United States nor does it impose an 
     obligation on the United States to refrain from actions that 
     would run counter to the object and purpose of the 
     Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
       (b) Restriction on Funding.--
       (1) In general.--No United States funds may be made 
     available to the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive 
     Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization.
       (2) Exception.--The restriction under paragraph (1) shall 
     not apply with respect to the availability of United States 
     funds for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty 
     Organization's International Monitoring System.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from South 
Carolina (Mr. Wilson) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time 
as I may consume.
  I thank the Chair for the opportunity to speak on the amendment to 
restrict the funding from the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty 
Organization while still providing funds for the international 
monitoring system.
  The purpose is simple. Congress never ratified the Comprehensive 
Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. It is irresponsible to the taxpayer and 
contradictory for the United States to financially support an 
organization that the United States has never officially joined or 
contributed funds for a treaty that was never enacted.
  The amendment clearly continues to fund the international monitoring 
system to improve our global and nuclear detection capability, and 
returns us to the longstanding responsible policies from President 
George W. Bush's administration.
  This amendment makes it clear that protecting American families is 
the job of Congress, not an unaccountable international body. As we see 
a rise in threats around the world, our nuclear deterrence capability 
is crucial to promote our ability to preserve peace. It is also 
important that the United States does not require adherence to this 
treaty in order to continue our self-imposed moratorium on testing 
nuclear weapons of any size or of any kind.
  However, as we live in a world of increasing threats, we should not 
bind the United States to an agreement that other nuclear powers like 
China and Russia do not adhere to.
  The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty has never been enacted so 
there is no change in policy or outcome by supporting this amendment, 
just a saving of taxpayers' dollars.

[[Page H5731]]

  Mr. Chair, I urge passage of this amendment, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  As the only physicist in the U.S. Congress, I feel a special 
responsibility to speak out on the importance of strengthening our 
global nuclear security architecture. At a time when it is more 
important than ever for the security of the United States to reinforce 
international norms against nuclear testing, we are here debating an 
amendment that would restrict the ability of a key international 
institution to monitor nuclear weapons, and, in fact, is designed to 
undercut prospects for either eventual ratification or even continued 
adherence to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
  The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization Preparatory 
Commission is tasked with establishing a verification regime to monitor 
compliance with the comprehensive ban on nuclear explosive testing.
  If enacted, this amendment would send the wrong signal to the world, 
deliberately risking an opening for the resumption of unrestricted 
nuclear testing by many nations on Earth, which would be a national 
security disaster for the United States.

                              {time}  2145

  During the debate on the Iran nuclear agreement, I received more than 
a dozen classified briefings, many of them individual classified 
briefings by our weapons experts who supported the negotiating team. At 
that time, I spent a lot of time putting myself in the place of a 
terrorist or proliferating nation, and I came to understand the 
overwhelming technical advantage that the United States possesses today 
over both other nuclear states, and any potential proliferation state, 
because we conducted more than 1,000 nuclear tests from 1945 to 1992, 
more than all other countries on Earth combined.
  Many of those tests were extensively instrumented and have provided 
us with the ability to accurately computer model and evaluate the 
performance of nuclear weapons without the risk to safety and to the 
environment. This is why no official of the Department of Energy, 
Department of Defense, or any other of our nuclear laboratories have 
ever called for a resumption of nuclear testing or an unsigning or 
deprecation of the CTBT, because the moment that other nations begin or 
resume testing, we lose that crucial advantage.
  It seems very odd to me that my Republican colleagues would want 
other nuclear or nonnuclear states to obtain intellectual property and 
parity in this matter. Although under this amendment the direct funding 
for the international monitoring system would nominally remain 
unscathed, it is difficult to imagine that a significant reduction in 
U.S. technical and financial support to the CTBTO would not adversely 
affect the organization's ability to maintain and operate any nuclear 
monitoring system.
  The proposed amendment also seeks to undermine the United States' 
obligation as a signatory not to conduct nuclear test explosions. If 
the United States unilaterally declares itself exempt, then other 
countries are very likely to do the same. In addition, contrary to what 
the amendment implies, U.N. Security Council Resolution 2310, does not 
impose any new obligations on the United States. Nothing is mandatory 
in the U.N. resolution. But repudiating support for the resolution 
could trigger bad faith in other nations around the world and reduce 
U.S. legitimacy and leverage that ensures other countries do not test 
nuclear weapons.
  So we should not signal any intention that the United States 
encourages a return to a more hostile nuclear environment, an 
environment in which the United States does not condemn nuclear weapons 
testing but, rather, gives away our position as a country that seeks 
peace and prosperity for our future.
  We have an opportunity to turn political rhetoric into concrete 
action to curb the global proliferation of nuclear weapons and secure 
the safety of future generations. From a national security point of 
view, we must acknowledge that the CTBT locks in an enormous 
competitive advantage for the United States, one that would be a huge 
mistake to begin throwing away.
  Although the CTBT failed to be ratified by a handful of votes the 
first time it came up in 1999, as George Shultz, the Secretary of State 
under President Reagan said: ``You can say that a Senator might have 
been right to vote against the CTBT when it was first put forward''--in 
1999--``and right to vote for it now. Why? Because things have 
changed.''
  And what he meant by that is that stockpiled stewardship works, and 
that the detection system, both that is maintained by the United States 
and by the world communities by the CTBTO works as well. Short of 
ratification, the U.S. support for the CTBTO Preparatory Commission 
remains essential.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the Wilson amendment, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers).
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding 
and for offering this important amendment.
  This is a simple and straightforward amendment that would help us set 
priorities in spending taxpayer dollars in a small but meaningful way. 
The U.S. signed the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, back in 
1996, but the Senate voted against that ratification in 1999.
  We are talking about two decades ago. In the meantime, the U.S. has 
abided by a unilateral pledge to refrain from nuclear explosive tests 
of any size or kind, but other nations, including Russia and China, 
have not. They continue to conduct very low-yield nuclear tests that 
the U.S. does not. Why? Two reasons: one, the CTBT has not entered into 
force, and the CTBT doesn't even define what it bans.
  So while we keep a very stringent policy against testing, other 
nuclear powers do not. Twenty years later, it is time to ask ourselves 
why we continue to fund the organization for a treaty that is not going 
anywhere. This amendment wisely funds the International Monitoring 
System which provides us some benefits but prohibits the approximately 
$2 million in payments to the CTBT organization itself that is included 
in the FY18 budget request for the State Department.
  Let's set this small commonsense priority and let's reinforce the 
Obama administration's own position that the U.N. resolution from last 
year is not legally binding on the United States.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, to me, this is, again, 
clearly an amendment which is in coordination with the Senate 
initiative by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas that clearly continues the 
funding of the International Monitoring System to improve our global 
nuclear detection capability and returns us to the longstanding 
policies from President George W. Bush's administration.
  The amendment is clear. Protecting American families is the job of 
Congress, not an unaccountable, international body. As we see a rise--
as I have stated in the past--in threats around the world, our nuclear 
deterrence capability is crucial to promote our ability to preserve 
peace.
  Mr. Chair, I urge the approval of the amendment, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mr. Aguilar

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 10 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle E of title XVI, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 1673. MODIFICATION TO CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE REVIEW 
                   OF COST ESTIMATES FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

       Paragraph (1)(A) of section 1043(b) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 
     125 Stat. 1576), as most recently amended by section 1643 of 
     the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act

[[Page H5732]]

     for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3650), is 
     further amended by striking ``10-year period'' and inserting 
     ``30-year period''.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Aguilar) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Chair, for decades, our Nation's nuclear weapons and 
triad have provided us with strategic deterrence against nuclear war 
and the existential threat it represents. And as is often said, it is 
essential that these weapons and delivery systems be safe, secure, and 
reliable.
  However, the age of our forces is a major concern. Currently, our 
nuclear-capable bomber fleet contains 76 B-52s with the first models 
entering service over 50 years ago and continuing to fly only after 
numerous modernization efforts.
  Our Ohio class submarines' lifespan, which were originally 30 years, 
have been extended to 42 years with the end of the 42-year lifespan 
approaching in 2027. The first Minuteman III ICBMs were deployed 40 
years ago.
  With the provocative actions of North Korea and the increase in 
nuclear weapon activities taking place around the world, a credible 
nuclear deterrent is vital to national security of the United States. 
But, over the past few years, there has been a good amount of debate as 
to how much this modernization process will cost.
  Over the next 30 years, not only will all three legs of our nuclear 
triad, our bombers, ICBMs, and missile submarines have to be replaced, 
a sustainment and modernization program for our nuclear bombs and 
warheads will be taking place at the same time as well.
  The Congressional Budget Office currently produces a projected cost 
of nuclear weapons report annually. However, it only covers 10 fiscal 
years into the future. My concern is that the CBO's current 10-year 
timeframe does not encompass the later out-year costs, including the 
late 2020s, and early 2030s, when costs are projected by many to 
increase significantly.
  My amendment would modify section 1643 of the fiscal year 2015 NDAA, 
the CBO review of cost estimates of nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon 
delivery systems, to make the timeframe 30 years instead of 10 years, 
Mr. Chairman.
  I brought this issue up last year when I served on the House Armed 
Services Committee, and earlier this year Ranking Member Smith and 
Ranking Member Visclosky wrote a letter to the CBO expressing their 
interest in an assessment of the sustainment and modernization costs 
associated with the triad for the next 30 years. The New York Times 
reports that the CBO 30-year estimate, which is due to be released 
later this year, will put costs at more than $1.2 trillion.
  With a resurgent Russia, a rising China, and destabilized Middle 
East, there is little evidence that the demands of our conventional 
forces will decrease. That is why it is imperative that we have proper 
accounting for our 30-year nuclear modernization process if we are to 
adequately plan for future conventional and nuclear investments and 
provide proper oversight.
  Now, some of my colleagues will say that a 30-year cost estimate 
isn't worth the paper that it is written on; that they would depict a 
time period far too much into the future to obtain a realistic 
estimate. But that isn't the case. Why do we have an FY17 Annual Long-
range Plan for the Construction of Naval Vessels, which not only 
contains an estimated 30-year funding requirement spanning the 30-year 
timeframe, but also this was produced by DOD for a cost of $395,000 to 
produce. We have a 30-year cost estimate for the Navy, but not for our 
strategic deterrence.
  I will close by mentioning, one of our nuclear gravity bombs is an 
example of why we need a permanent 30-year estimate. According to GAO, 
one cost estimate produced by NNSA's Office of Cost Estimating points 
out that it could cost $2.6 billion more than previous estimates to 
complete the B61-12 Life Extension Program. But the original baseline 
was from NNSA's fiscal year 2017 Stockpile Stewardship and Management 
Plan.
  If Congress hopes to provide proper oversight of these modernization 
efforts, we must have up-to-date estimates that accurately reflect any 
updates and changes that impact our nuclear bombs, warheads, and 
delivery systems. That is why I wish to make the time period for CBO's 
estimate 30 years instead of 10 years.
  These are important investments to make in our national security and 
a responsible way to better understand the cost.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, my friend from California is 
correct about one thing: I will say a 30-year cost estimate is not 
worth the paper it is written on.
  I oppose this amendment, just as I opposed a similar amendment by my 
friend from California, number 12. I submitted amendment No. 88 that we 
will consider shortly. My amendment was a hopeful compromise with my 
colleagues from California, who are offering amendment Nos. 10 and 12 
on this same issue. Unfortunately, we have not been able to reach a 
compromise, so we will put them all before our colleagues here on the 
floor for consideration.
  The bottom line is that my colleagues are asking DOD and CBO to 
create a 25- and 30-year cost estimate for how much our nuclear forces 
cost. That would triple the current requirement of 10-year cost 
estimates. Unfortunately, these type of multidecade cost estimates 
won't be worth the paper they are written on.
  As evidence for that, Assistant Secretary of Defense Tom Hopkins, who 
would be responsible for creating the DOD report, has called a 25-year 
report on this ``burdensome.'' He explained it to us this way during a 
hearing: ``Right now we submit a 10-year report that does have programs 
and cost on it. . . . As you would expect, looking out that far, 25 
years, the credibility of the numbers would be very, very suspect. . . 
.
  ``Forecasting DOD costs over a 25-year period with any useful 
accuracy is extremely difficult given the challenges of predicting 
developments in the international security environment and ongoing 
technological advancements.''

  The Armed Services Committee and this House have considered these 
types of 30-year cost estimate amendments for DOD or CBO in the NDAAs 
for the last 5 years.
  Each time, for 5 years in a row, these amendments have been defeated. 
That is because these types of amendments would not result in good, 
effective oversight and transparency.
  It would result in false and unreliable data entering the public 
debate. If any of my colleagues are interested in a reasonable, 
commonsense way to try and shed a little more light on these very long-
term plans and costs, I encourage them to vote for my amendment No. 88. 
My amendment allows the Secretary of Defense to provide for information 
beyond 10 years if he thinks it is accurate and would be useful in 
understanding the nuclear modernization programs.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this current amendment and 
``yes'' on my amendment No. 88, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Chairman, if anything, my former chairman, when I 
was on Armed Services, is consistent. He is right. He has continued to 
oppose this amendment in the past.
  But what I ask is: Why not have a 30-year estimate? We have one for 
the Navy. We have one for other programs. If these reports truly aren't 
worth the paper that they are written on, then why commission this 
report? It is almost $400,000 in taxpayer costs.

                              {time}  2200

  The taxpayers deserve, and we deserve, to provide oversight over 
these costs. If Congress hopes to provide the oversight for modernizing 
these efforts, we need these up-to-date reports that accurately reflect 
these updates and changes to bombs, warheads, and delivery systems. I 
hope that the chairman would agree with me there.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I would say that the Navy 
provides 30-year cost estimates because Congress made them, and the 
Navy

[[Page H5733]]

doesn't want to do it, and they don't think they are reliable.
  I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I yield back the balance 
of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from California (Mr. Aguilar).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be 
postponed.
  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 11 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.


               Amendment No. 12 Offered by Mr. Garamendi

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 12 printed in 
part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle E of title XVI, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 1673. IMPROVEMENT TO ANNUAL REPORT ON THE PLAN FOR THE 
                   NUCLEAR WEAPONS STOCKPILE, NUCLEAR WEAPONS 
                   COMPLEX, NUCLEAR WEAPONS DELIVERY SYSTEMS, AND 
                   NUCLEAR WEAPONS COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM.

       Subsection (a)(2) of section 1043 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 
     125 Stat. 1576), as most recently amended by section 1643 of 
     the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 
     128 Stat. 3650), is further amended--
       (1) by redesignating subparagraphs (F) and (G) as 
     subparagraphs (G) and (H), respectively;
       (2) by inserting after subparagraph (E) the following new 
     subparagraph (F):
       ``(F) A detailed description of the plan, as applicable, to 
     sustain, life-extend, modernize, or replace the nuclear 
     weapons and bombs in the nuclear weapons stockpile.''; and
       (3) in subparagraph (G), as redesignated by paragraph (1)--
       (A) by striking ``subparagraphs (A) through (E)'' and 
     inserting ``subparagraphs (A) through (F)'';
       (B) by striking ``10-year'' and inserting ``25-year'';
       (C) by striking ``military construction,'' and inserting 
     ``construction''; and
       (D) by inserting ``and the Department of Energy'' before 
     the period at the end.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Garamendi) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, every year Congress receives a very 
important and very helpful report regarding our nuclear weapons 
enterprise. It is sometimes referred to as the 1043 Report because it 
is mandated by section 1043 of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2012.
  It requires the Department of Defense, in cooperation with the 
Department of Energy, to submit a detailed 10-year plan and budget 
estimate for our nuclear weapons enterprise, that is, the bombs, the 
weapons themselves, the command and control, the national lab 
infrastructure, the delivery systems, et cetera, et cetera. That report 
is then reviewed by the Government Accountability Office for 
completeness and accuracy. Finally, the Congressional Budget Office 
then reviews it and submits an independent report.
  Terrific, all good, we all agree that it is a good thing. I know that 
the chairman of the subcommittee wanted that to happen, and indeed we 
do have it.
  This amendment simply deals with the reality that this is not a 10-
year program. This is a program that will go on for at least the next 
25, probably the next 30 years, with extraordinary costs that actually 
occur beyond the 10-year time horizon. Therefore, it is important that 
the United States, as we get into this long-term effort to recapitalize 
our entire nuclear arsenal, that we encounter today and take into 
account today the most expensive years that will occur beyond the 10-
year horizon.
  This amendment that I am proposing simply requires that the 
Department of Defense and the Department of Energy consider a 25-year 
time horizon for the 1043 Report. We really do need to know, and, in 
fact, we have some of that information today.
  The Department of Energy, that is in the National Nuclear Security 
Administration, does do a 25-year report, and they apparently think it 
is accurate enough to present to the committees here. The Department of 
Defense provides the equipment, the means for delivering the bombs, 
that is the submarines, the various ballistic and intercontinental 
ballistic missiles, the ground-based ballistic missiles, the new 
bombers, and, quite possibly, new long-range strike LRSO.
  So let's find out. Let's consider that. The reason we need to 
consider it is that it is a pile of money, well over $1 trillion that 
we will be spending in the next 25 years. This is not just my words but 
if one were to consider the people who deal with this on a regular 
basis; for example, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics, Mr. Kendall, on April 14, 2015, said that we 
have a problem with recapitalizing the strategic deterrent. We do have 
a huge affordability problem with that basket of systems. So it is a 
problem that we are going to have to face up to.
  Well, who is we? We is us. We are going to have to figure out how to 
pay for all this, and we are going to have to make some tough choices. 
So this is simply a matter of trying to figure out how we can get 
detailed information.
  I know that our esteemed chairman for whom I have tremendous regard 
has a little different view, and when he picks up his amendment, I will 
speak to that.
  In the meantime, I would ask everybody to support this wise amendment 
so that we actually have good information upon which to make some 
decisions today that will then be paid for in the next 15 to 25 years. 
That is what this amendment is.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition 
to this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. LaMalfa). The gentleman is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I reluctantly oppose this amendment from my friend and 
colleague from California. He is a very serious, thoughtful, and 
clearly articulate Member, but it is for the same reasons that I just 
outlined with Mr. Aguilar's amendment.
  I will keep this brief because we just talked about this. But going 
down this path for a 25- or 30-year cost estimate for nuclear weapons 
is a bad idea and would result in bad data. The Acting Assistant 
Secretary of Defense in the Obama administration who is still in the 
Trump administration doesn't think it is a good idea either.
  The HASC and the House have considered this 30-year cost estimate for 
the last 5 years in a row, and each time it has been rejected. This 
amendment would not result in good, effective oversight and 
transparency.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to consider voting for my 
reasonable, commonsense amendment when we get to it, amendment No. 88. 
I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment and ``yes'' on 
Rogers 88.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, may I ask how much time I have 
remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 1\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, this is a commonsense amendment. I have 
great esteem for the chairman, but I really don't think we ought to be 
mushrooms. I don't think we ought to be kept in the dark. We really are 
in the process here of making decisions today to spend a vast amount of 
money not just in the next 10 years--and we do have estimates of what 
that would cost--but in the out-years.
  Those out-years, we know from information that has been delivered to 
us, that it will be a bow wave--to use the military term--of 
extraordinary dollars, well into the hundreds of billions of dollars 
that would be spent in the out-years beyond the 10 years.
  We need to know today because that will bite into the money that we 
have available for all of the other things that we must do for our 
national defense.
  Mr. Chairman, I would ask for an ``aye'' vote on this commonsense 
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

[[Page H5734]]

  

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I agree with the gentleman. We 
don't want to be mushrooms, but we also don't want bad data. So I would 
urge a ``no'' vote on this and urge people to support Rogers amendment 
No. 88, which will allow the Secretary to go beyond 10 years to 25 or 
30 if the Secretary believes it would yield valuable data.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I yield back the balance of 
my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California 
will be postponed.


               Amendment No. 13 Offered by Mr. Blumenauer

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 13 
printed in part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:
       At the end of subtitle G of title XVI, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 16__. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR LONG-RANGE STANDOFF 
                   WEAPON.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, in any fiscal year, the Secretary of Defense may not 
     obligate or expend more than $95,600,000 on development of 
     the long-range standoff weapon or any other nuclear-capable 
     air-launched cruise missile, and the Secretary of Energy may 
     not obligate or expend more than $220,253,000 on the life 
     extension program for the W80-4 warhead, until the Secretary 
     of Defense, in consultation with the heads of other relevant 
     Federal agencies, submits to the appropriate congressional 
     committees a Nuclear Posture Review that includes a detailed 
     and specific assessment of the following:
       (1) The anticipated capabilities of the long-range standoff 
     weapon to hold targets at risk beyond other already existing 
     and planned nuclear-capable delivery systems.
       (2) The anticipated ability of the long-range standoff 
     weapon to elude adversary integrated air and missile defenses 
     compared to the B-21 bomber.
       (3) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff 
     weapon on strategic stability relative to other nuclear-armed 
     countries.
       (4) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff 
     weapon on the offensive nuclear weapons capabilities and 
     programs of other nuclear-armed countries.
       (5) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff 
     weapon on the response of other nuclear-armed countries to 
     proposals to decrease or halt the growth of their nuclear 
     stockpiles.
       (6) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff 
     weapon on the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.
       (b) Form.--The Nuclear Posture Review required by 
     subsection (a) shall be submitted in unclassified form but 
     may include a classified annex.
       (c) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this 
     section, the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
     means--
       (1) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate; and
       (2) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman 
from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Oregon.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 3 minutes.
  Mr. Chairman, it is time to insert fiscal sanity into our nuclear 
weapons planning. We are set to spend $400 billion over the next decade 
and $1.2 trillion over the next 30 years to recapitalize our entire 
nuclear arsenal. This nuclear escalation will build a force far 
exceeding what the Pentagon and security experts have said is necessary 
to deter a nuclear threat.
  A stronger nuclear program is not going to help us deal with the 
strategic challenges we face today, like the fight the against Islamic 
State, but it will result in having to crowd out Army, Navy, and Air 
Force conventional priorities.
  We need to revisit the strategy. We are here in Congress to make hard 
decisions about how to spend taxpayer dollars. The Pentagon should 
provide long-term cost reports and tell us what certain weapons will 
actually add to our existing capacity.
  My amendment deals with one particular outrageous piece of this 
unsustainable escalation: the long-range standoff weapon, or the LRSO. 
Now, this weapon is projected to cost $20 billion to $30 billion.
  This amendment would lock the LRSO funding at fiscal year 2017 levels 
until the administration submits a Nuclear Posture Review to Congress 
that includes a detailed assessment of why we need this weapon. It 
wouldn't prevent it. It would just keep the funding at the current 
level until they can tell us why we need it.
  Until the administration carefully examines the utility of the LRSO, 
why should we rush its development? After all, the father of this 
device, former Secretary of Defense Bill Perry, has argued there is 
scant justification for spending tens of billions of dollars on that 
weapon. General Mattis has stated numerous times that he is not sold on 
the LRSO.
  We shouldn't risk making tens of billions of dollars in commitments 
like this with potential failure to follow through all while forfeiting 
other critical priorities. Before we continue this nuclear escalation 
on autopilot, let's make sure.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition 
to this amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I strongly oppose this amendment, but it is not just 
me. The Armed Services Committee considered nearly the same amendment 
during markup, and it was soundly defeated.
  It is not just the committee that opposed this amendment. It is also 
our country's senior-most military officers. They repeatedly described 
the urgent need for the LRSO and the declining reliability of the 
NACMs.
  They have testified before our committee in March on this exact 
issue. Here is the Nation's second highest ranking military officer, 
the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Selva:

       ALCMs were designed and built in the 1970s with a 10-year 
     lifespan. We know today they remain relevant, but we can't 
     continue to maintain them. A decade from now, those weapons 
     will not be able to penetrate Russian air defenses, and 
     therefore there is an urgency for their replacement.

  In the same year, STRATCOM Commander General Hyten said:

       The LRSO is the first missile system developed in unison 
     with a nuclear warhead in mind for many decades. Limiting 
     resources or funding of either component will disrupt the 
     entire concept-to-capability timeline.

  Here is President Obama's Assistant Secretary of Defense, Bob Scher, 
testifying before my committee last year:
       The Obama administration's decision to field a modern ALCM 
     replacement is essential to maintain the ALCM's unique 
     contribution to stable and effective deterrence.

  Finally, let me briefly address this nonsense argument that LRSO is 
destabilizing. Here is President Obama's Under Secretary of State for 
Arms Control Rose Gottemoeller testifying before the Senate last year:

       First, the LRSO is consistent with our arms control 
     commitments and President Obama's Prague agenda. Second, the 
     LRSO supports strategic stability and does not undermine it. 
     Third, it is important in the eyes of our allies. There is no 
     evidence that the LRSO or our nuclear modernization program 
     are prompting an action-reaction cycle or catalyzing these 
     arms races. The LRSO is valuable in maintaining strategic 
     stability.

  Mr. Chairman, I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
distinguished gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith), who is the ranking 
member.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I just want to make two quick 
points, first to the point Mr. Blumenauer made about how we are 
planning on recapitalizing our entire nuclear arsenal.
  Now, we have had a robust debate about how much that is going to cost 
over 10, 25, 30 years. I have some sympathy for the argument that Mr. 
Rogers made. It is going to be very difficult to estimate how much it 
is going to cost over 25 or 30 years.

[[Page H5735]]

  But I do know that if we are talking about recapitalizing our entire 
nuclear arsenal, all of the submarines, all of the ICBMs, a new bomber, 
it is going to cost a lot. I don't know if it is $1.2 trillion or $2 
trillion. Whatever it is, it is going to be enormously expensive.

                              {time}  2215

  At a time when we face a multiplicity of threats from Russia, North 
Korea, and where missile defense is critical, I do not believe this is 
the best investment of our money to get caught up in the Cold War, in 
the battle against Russia and their nuclear weapons, and making sure we 
can counter every possible scenario. It is not an efficient use of 
money.
  This amendment is but one piece of it to say let's take a step back 
and see if this is the best place to spend the money. Maybe it would be 
better to spend it on cybersecurity. Maybe it would be better to spend 
it on missile defense.
  There are a whole lot of other places I think that are better than 
trapping ourselves in these nuclear scenarios that require us to build 
an unbelievably expensive nuclear arsenal.
  Secondly, I will disagree with Mr. Rogers on one point: the more you 
build nuclear weapons, the more the other side tends to build nuclear 
weapons.
  I cannot agree that this is not going to potentially lead to an 
escalation. In fact, the reason we are so hell-bent on building the 
LRSO and all of these others is because we are concerned about what 
Russia and China are doing.
  That is how it works. It does have that destabilizing effect. I don't 
think this is the best place for us to spend our defense dollars.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I was quoting Rose Gottemoeller 
from the Obama administration, saying that it was not going to 
perpetuate this cycle.
  Mr. Chair, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman 
from Wyoming (Ms. Cheney), my friend and an outstanding member of the 
Armed Services Committee.
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Chairman, it is surprising to sit here and hear 
arguments that we have been hearing really for the last almost 70 years 
now, the notion that the reason that our adversaries build nuclear 
weapons is because we are building nuclear weapons, or the notion that 
we all are building nuclear weapons for the same purposes.
  The North Koreans are building nuclear weapons in order to threaten 
us. They are building nuclear weapons, potentially, in order to hold us 
hostage. They are building nuclear weapons against which we must deter.
  The notion that if we advance our capabilities, the notion that if we 
produce the LRSO we are going to be in a position where we are 
encouraging the other side is just simply a flawed understanding. We 
already have a situation where our adversaries are modernizing their 
dual capable cruise missiles. They don't think these things are 
destabilizing. We shouldn't argue that they are for us, as well.
  In addition, the LRSO plays a hugely important deterrent role. It 
imposes important and real costs on any potential adversary. It forces 
them, in addition to modernizing their nuclear arsenals, to modernize 
their air defense arsenals.
  It is hugely important that we proceed. It is hugely important that 
we modernize. I agree it is a very expensive undertaking, but I would 
urge my colleagues to defeat this amendment and remember that the 
single most expensive thing we can do would be to fail to defend 
ourselves. The single most expensive thing we can do would be to 
encourage an adversary to attack us because they think they can 
overtake us or overcome our capabilities.
  I think it is important that we not go down the path of unilateral 
disarmament and that we do everything we can to continue to modernize 
at a very rapid pace, to speed up the pace at which we are modernizing.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I am stunned to think that this is 
somehow the equivalent of unilateral disarmament.
  The amendment says that the funding level for this new program would 
remain at the current fiscal year level until the administration 
submits a nuclear posture review to Congress that indicates a detailed 
assessment of why we need the weapon.
  If what the gentleman says is true--and I get mixed signals from the 
Secretary--then they can easily do that. They are not cut off. It has 
nothing to do with unilateral disarmament. We have more than enough 
nuclear weapons to destroy these countries many times over.
  My friend, Mr. Smith, talks about other priorities, from 
cybersecurity to what is happening with ISIS. Lavishing funds on 
programs that have not yet been justified and can't meet this test is 
not worthy. You have other things that you want to help the Department 
of Defense do, which I think we share.
  Mr. Chairman, I strongly urge approval of this amendment, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oregon will 
be postponed.


               Amendment No. 14 Offered by Mr. McClintock

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 14 
printed in part B of House Report 115-212.
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:
       Strike section 2702.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman 
from California (Mr. McClintock) and a Member opposed each will control 
5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, our current defense spending is about 
where it was at the very peak of the Reagan defense buildup after 
adjusting for inflation. It is about the same as the next eight most 
powerful military forces on the planet, combined. Six of those eight 
are already our allies.
  The President has proposed adding $54 billion to this. That is the 
equivalent of adding more than the entire military establishment of 
Great Britain to what we already have.
  Yet we are told, and I do not doubt, that much of our military force 
is ill equipped and unready for combat. If that is the case, it is not 
a fiscal problem; it is a management problem. We seem to care how much 
money is being spent, but not how it is being spent. That is a 
catastrophic failure of congressional oversight.
  In recent years, the Pentagon has warned that its infrastructure is 
22 percent bigger than necessary. It has asked Congress for another 
round of Base Realignment and Closure reviews. Just last month, 
Secretary Mattis urged resumption of BRAC. He believes it will save $2 
billion a year and $20 billion over 10 years. That is enough money to 
buy 120 FA-18 Super Hornets, 300 more AH-64 helicopters, or four 
Virginia class submarines if only Congress would get out of the way and 
allow unneeded bases to close or consolidate.
  The Pentagon has the authority to close or consolidate bases on 
foreign soil, but in the NDAA Congress blocks its authority to close or 
consolidate unnecessary bases on our own soil.
  My amendment removes the NDAA prohibition on this needed process and 
allows BRAC to move forward as our President has requested. His 
Statement of Administration Policy on NDAA is crystal clear: ``While 
the bill contains many promising reforms, it fails to authorize a Base 
Realignment and Closure round, which would result in substantial 
recurring savings and allow DOD to align infrastructure with force 
reduction.''
  I have heard three objections:
  First, we are told the upfront costs of consolidation can be high. 
But the results are now in, and the first four

[[Page H5736]]

BRAC rounds are saving us $7 billion a year.
  Second, we are told local economies depend on these bases, but 
experience tells us that communities rapidly recover by freeing these 
assets for productive commercial use.
  Third, we are told to wait until we finished expanding our forces, 
but the excess capacity estimate already assumes force expansion, and a 
new round of BRAC will only wring out a small portion of the 
overcapacity.
  When we squander billions of defense dollars keeping obsolete 
military bases open in order to satisfy congressional constituencies, 
we directly rob our military forces of the resources that we are 
constantly reminded that they desperately need.
  There is an old saying that you can't fill a broken bucket by pouring 
more water in it. At some point, you have got to fix the bucket. That 
is our responsibility. We need to take it more seriously.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to 
the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time 
as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I appreciate very much the efforts by Mr. McClintock, 
but simply put, now is not the time to consider a Base Realignment and 
Closure.
  In the past, BRAC has been used without conducting a thorough study, 
has incurred significant costs and jeopardized valuable military 
communities, such as those of the Midlands of South Carolina 
surrounding Fort Jackson or the Aiken-Barnwell community that I 
represent adjacent to Fort Gordon, Georgia.
  If facilities are shuttered, the existing secure assets will not be 
reasonably replicated. In testimony before the House Armed Services 
Committee just last month, Secretary Jim Mattis stated that he also has 
reservations about the BRAC assessments.
  It is also important to be clear: BRAC is not a proven cost-saving 
measure. The last BRAC cost 67 percent more than planned to carry out, 
dramatically reducing any projected savings.
  It would be undermining to our national security and to communities 
around the Nation to close down military installations without a 
comprehensive study, especially as the military works to grow the force 
to address emerging threats around the globe.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to reject this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Smith), the ranking member.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I support this amendment. I 
disagree very strongly with the remarks of the gentleman from South 
Carolina.
  First of all, the past BRACs have saved us an enormous amount of 
money. There have been five rounds. The first four saved us pretty much 
exactly as much money as they said they were going to. The fifth one 
was more expensive, but the fifth one was done in 2005, at a time when 
we were building up the size of the military. It wasn't so much a 
closure as it was a realignment. But even then, it is now saving us 
money.
  So if you want to argue against BRAC, argue against BRAC; but please, 
let us not argue that it doesn't save us money because that is just 
factually ridiculous. It absolutely saves us money.
  Second, there have been a number of studies by the Air Force and 
others. The Air Force has estimated that they are 20 percent over the 
capacity of their installations. It would be great if we could have a  
comprehensive study. I agree with that. What our bill has done every 
year for the last several years is prohibit them from even thinking 
about a BRAC.

  So it is a brilliant argument to say, well, you can't do a BRAC 
because you haven't done a comprehensive study, and then to put in the 
bill you are prohibited from doing a comprehensive study. It is a nice 
little tautology, but it isn't helping our military.
  As we have been discussing throughout the night, we have more needs 
than we have money for. We cannot afford for parochial interests to get 
in the way of what is in the best interest of our troops. We need a 
BRAC.
  By the way, it doesn't even authorize a BRAC. It simply removes the 
prohibition of a BRAC. A BRAC cannot happen unless Congress authorizes 
it. So all this is going to do if this amendment passes is allow the 
military to do precisely what the gentleman from South Carolina just 
said they ought to do.
  There is no reason to oppose this amendment, and I urge support.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Austin Scott), my friend and colleague.
  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Chair, I rise today in opposition to 
this amendment to the fiscal year 2018 National Defense Authorization 
Act offered by my friend and colleague, Mr. McClintock of California, 
that would strike a bipartisan provision that clarifies that the fiscal 
year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act does not authorize a round 
of Base Realignment and Closures, otherwise known as BRAC.
  After nearly 13 hours of debate in the Armed Services Committee, my 
colleagues and I came together and overwhelmingly approved language in 
the final mark that prevented a BRAC for the next fiscal year. We 
passed that vote by a vote of 60-1.
  Many of my colleagues have argued that past BRACs eliminated excess 
infrastructure in the Nation's military or streamlined defense 
spending, but it is just not the case, Mr. Chair.
  Earlier this year, Secretary Mattis testified to the Armed Services 
Committee on the need to reassess our military's current infrastructure 
resources and needs before closing or realigning any current resources.
  The fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act required an 
updated DOD force structure plan and an infrastructure inventory. To 
date, DOD has not submitted the required infrastructure report.
  Quite simply, we may not have enough capacity and infrastructure to 
meet our current needs and our needs going forward as we look at the 
threats coming from Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and the threat of 
global terrorism and transnational criminal organizations. Who knows 
what threat we will face tomorrow.
  If the Secretary of Defense, I hope, will work with us to reassess 
our current capacity, then the need to halt realignments and closures 
to give him time to do so is all the more important. With outdated 
capacity information, there is simply no reason to close or realign an 
installation just to repurchase or rebuild a new one just a few years 
down the road. It is fiscally irresponsible in terms of defense 
spending and meeting our needs moving forward.

                              {time}  2230

  I have nothing but respect for my colleague from California and have 
fought many fights to get rid of waste and cut government spending with 
him. This is just one that I can't support.
  I hope that my colleagues will join me in voting against Mr. 
McClintock's broken bucket amendment.
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, to vote against these measures, to vote 
to rob our military of $20 million ofsavings over the next 10 years for 
military bases the Pentagon itself says are unnecessary, it comes down 
to that. You cannot provide for the common defense if you cannot pay 
for it, and the ability of our country to do so is being called into 
grave question.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he 
may consume to the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop).
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Chair, let me say in 90 seconds then, it may 
sound counterintuitive that BRAC doesn't save us money, but even though 
it can take money off the Defense rolls, the question is: Where does 
this property end up and who pays for it?
  The bulk of the property ends up in the hands of local government, 
State government, and if it was public domain to begin with, the 
Department of

[[Page H5737]]

the Interior has got first crack at it. I have also always 
sarcastically said every time there is a BRAC base closure, I end up 
with a new national park and national monument. And even though we have 
never done a study to verify it, I can give you a half dozen off the 
top of my head where that happened.
  So the question is: Does the taxpayer save money? And if you invent a 
BRAC process that will guarantee that the Federal estate will not be 
enlarged, that you won't simply transfer property from one Federal 
entity to another or from the Federal Government to State governments 
so the taxpayer saves money, then I will gladly support a BRAC process.
  But until we can guarantee that, all we are doing is shifting the 
money around, shifting the entity around. We may help the Department of 
Defense change their budget, but the taxpayer is still on the hook for 
all the property and all the efforts that go into it, and that is 
wrong, and that is the process.
  When we change the BRAC process to make it more public, to make it so 
the taxpayer saves, then I will support it, but that hasn't happened 
yet.
  Therefore, I ask Members to vote ``no'' on the amendment.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of 
my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California 
will be postponed.


           Amendment No. 88 Offered by Mr. Rogers of Alabama

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to the order of the House of today, it is 
now in order to consider amendment No. 88 printed in part B of House 
Report 115-212.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:
       At the end of subtitle E of title XVI, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 1673. MODIFICATION TO ANNUAL REPORT ON PLAN FOR THE 
                   NUCLEAR WEAPONS STOCKPILE, NUCLEAR WEAPONS 
                   COMPLEX, NUCLEAR WEAPONS DELIVERY SYSTEMS, AND 
                   NUCLEAR WEAPONS COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM.

       Subsection (a)(2)(F) of section 1043 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 
     112-81; 125 Stat. 1576), as most recently amended by section 
     1643 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 
     113-291; 128 Stat. 3650), is further amended by inserting 
     after the period at the end the following: ``The Secretary 
     may include information and data for a period beyond such 10-
     year period if the Secretary determines that such information 
     and data is accurate and useful in understanding the long-
     term nuclear modernization plan.''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman 
from Alabama (Mr. Rogers) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Alabama.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Mr. Chair, as I said a few minutes ago, I submitted this amendment as 
a hopeful compromise with my colleague from California who offered 
amendment Nos. 10 and 12 on this same issue. I will keep this very 
brief because we have discussed this thoroughly tonight.
  But going down a path of a 30-year cost estimate for nuclear weapons 
is a bad idea and will result in bad data. As we debated this for the 
past 5 years now, the Obama administration didn't want to do it, the 
Trump administration doesn't want to do it, and the HASC and the House 
have voted against it every year.
  I urge my colleagues to consider voting for my reasonable commonsense 
amendment, commonsense way to get this issue resolved with amendment 
No. 88.
  My amendment allows the Secretary of Defense to provide information 
beyond 10 years if he thinks it would be accurate and useful in the 
information it yielded. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on my 
amendment and ``no'' on amendment Nos. 10 and 12.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition, 
though I am not opposed.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I just want to say very quickly, 
I still have the concerns that I have expressed about the broader 
nuclear weapons issue and will talk a little bit more about that in a 
minute. But you know, this is a way to at least give an option to get a 
greater idea of the costs. So it may not be everything that we would 
want, but it is certainly not something that we should oppose, so I do 
not oppose it and would urge support.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama will 
be postponed.

          amendment no. 18 offered by Mr. Lipinski of Illinois

       At the end of title II, at the following new section:

     SEC. 2__. ESTABLISHMENT AND EXPANSION OF HACKING FOR DEFENSE 
                   PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The MD5 Hacking for Defense Program enables 
     universities nationwide to provide valuable entrepreneurial 
     and innovation education to students, providing formal 
     training for scientists and engineers to pursue careers in 
     business or government organizations.
       (2) The MD5 Hacking for Defense Program is successful in 
     part due to its focus on ensuring that government problems 
     are well-defined and suitable for university courses, 
     ensuring that educators are trained and certified in course 
     methodology and curriculum, and providing an ecosystem of 
     government and corporate mentors to student teams to enhance 
     their education and access to clients familiar with specific 
     problems.
       (3) Hacking for Defense programs provide a unique pathway 
     for veteran students to leverage their military expertise to 
     solve rapidly emerging national security challenges while 
     learning cutting-edge business innovation methodology.
       (4) The MD5 Hacking for Defense Program's success in the 
     early stages of the innovation continuum should be expanded 
     to offer training to universities nationwide, and government 
     personnel and organizations charged with innovation.
       (b) Establishment and Expansion of Hacking for Defense 
     Program.--
       (1) Authorization.--The Secretary of Defense is authorized 
     to establish a Hacking for Defense Program under which the

     including--
       (A) materials to recruit veterans for such programs;
       (B) model curriculum for such programs;
       (C) training materials for such programs; and
       (D) best practices for the conduct of such programs.
       (2) Consultation.--In carrying out paragraph (1), the 
     Secretary of Defense may consult with the heads of such 
     Federal agencies, universities, and public and private 
     entities engaged in the development of advanced technologies 
     as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.
       (3) Eligibility.--The Secretary of Defense shall--
       (A) develop and maintain eligibility criteria for programs 
     to become recognized as Hacking for Defense education sites; 
     and
       (B) ensure that any recipient of a grant under the Small 
     Business Technology Transfer program or the Small Business 
     Innovation Research program has the option to participate in

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman 
from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr. 
Smith) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. Rohrabacher).
  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of a very important 
part of this en bloc proposal, which is filled with important parts.
  Dr. Afridi is a Pakistani doctor who risked his life to help our 
special forces identify the hiding place of Osama bin Laden, the 
planner and commander of the slaughter of 3,000 Americans on 9/11.
  Dr. Afridi, clearly an American hero, has languished in a Pakistani 
dungeon for the past 6 years and has been sentenced to spend another 
two decades in captivity.
  Dr. Afridi is a courageous hero. He is not forgotten. His plight is 
not ignored.
  Tonight, I am pleading that this language be retained in the final 
version of this en bloc amendment. This man is suffering for us.
  Making my amendment in order acknowledges Dr. Afridi's sacrifice and 
demands Pakistani authorities release him immediately.
  If we turn our backs on such a noble friend as Dr. Afridi, shame on 
us.
  And I thank the Members who put this bill together for including this 
very moral statement.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
distinguished gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson).
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, thank you for the 
opportunity to speak on amendment No. 66.
  On July 4, the Communist totalitarian regime in North Korea marked 
the holiday testing an intercontinental ballistic missile. This is yet 
another escalation by a regime that has tested ballistic missiles and 
has conducted five nuclear tests.
  This amendment expresses a clear sense of Congress: we will not 
tolerate the escalation by the regime in North Korea testing ballistic 
missiles or developing a nuclear weapon threatening American families.
  The amendment also reaffirms the strong commitment of the United 
States to our allies in the region, especially South Korea, Japan, and 
Australia. I am encouraged by the leadership of President Donald Trump 
for a commitment of peace through strength. It is clear the regime in 
North Korea will only respond to strength, and this sense of Congress 
strongly states our commitment to keeping all options on the table 
while addressing the threat of North Korea, whether it be military, 
diplomatic, or economic.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge support of this amendment with the en bloc 
package.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I continue to reserve the balance 
of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
distinguished gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick).
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Chair, the most important duty of this body is 
to ensure the safety of every American family from foreign enemies who 
intend us harm. We must advocate for a foreign policy that projects 
strength and purpose.
  The threat profile our Nation faces has never been more severe, 
including from rogue regimes and those who directly and indirectly 
support the spread of terror. Acting in isolation, each of these 
threats requires U.S. attention. However, we must also investigate and 
understand the scope of

[[Page H5740]]

evil's reach, especially the nexus between Iran and North Korea.
  Mr. Chair, my amendment would compel the Pentagon to report the 
extent of cooperation on nuclear programs, ballistic missile 
development, chemical and biological weapons development, and 
conventional weapons programs between Pyongyang and Tehran. Only when 
we understand the complex dealings between these enemies of peace can 
we outline a plan to combat them.
  My amendment will provide better, more comprehensive tools for 
American defense, and I urge my friends on both sides of the aisle to 
support it for the sake of our Nation's security.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Suozzi).
  Mr. SUOZZI. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of a bipartisan amendment I 
have offered along with my colleagues from Texas, Chairman Thornberry 
of the Armed Services Committee and Mr. Conaway, a fellow CPA.
  It is essential the Democrats and Republicans work together to 
control government costs to root out waste, fraud, and abuse, and that 
we specifically focus these efforts on the Department of Defense.
  Chairman Thornberry has promoted a reform agenda of which I am very 
supportive. During the Armed Services Committee markup of the bill, I 
proposed changes to the chairman's reform package. My amendment sought 
to make the use of private sector auditors more efficient and effective 
by eliminating bureaucratic mandates and an unnecessarily bureaucratic 
committee.
  The chairman supported my goals, and I suggested that I work with my 
fellow CPA, Mr. Conaway. In a bipartisan spirit, we agreed to this 
amendment, which will, one, help eliminate the incurred cost audit 
backlog; two, help reallocate resources to prioritize higher risk 
audits with potential savings for government; three, help ensure 
private sector auditing capacity exists; and, most importantly, four, 
root out waste, fraud, and abuse in Defense contracting.
  I never thought I would come to Washington to work on Department of 
Defense audits, but Chairman Thornberry's willingness to engage my 
expertise and the bipartisan manner of the amendment will hopefully 
result in significant reforms and aid in my ongoing efforts to help 
save taxpayers' dollars by making government more effective and 
efficient.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
distinguished gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Johnson).
  Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana. Mr. Chairman, I rise to speak on the 
National Defense Authorization Act being considered this evening and on 
my amendment No. 22 to require an Army cyber training readiness 
assessment.
  It is vital that we adequately fund our military with the necessary 
training and tools they need to succeed. Our men and women in uniform 
deserve the greatest amount of resources we can possibly provide at all 
times.
  If agreed to, my amendment requires the Army to review the combat 
training centers, or CTCs, and the resident cyber capabilities and 
training to make certain the needs of prerotational cyber training are 
fully met.
  These CTCs' rotations serve as the premier events to evaluate 
collective training, and the rotations provide feedback to commanders 
on how well they have trained their units and their leaders and what 
they need to do to improve readiness.
  Including cyber training is a commonsense step to meet the threats 
our Nation will face. The Army has testified before Congress that this 
area is falling short and additional resources are desperately needed 
for cyber training.
  Our Armed Forces must be able to operate within highly defended 
environments, possibly at the leading edge of a joint force, to control 
the air, sea, space, and cyberspace domain. My amendment will assist us 
in this endeavor, and I urge my colleagues to support it.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Correa).

                              {time}  2245

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my amendment in en 
bloc package 3, amendment 53, that would require the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
provide Congress a report of any cyber attack attempts by the Russian 
Government and other Russian actors targeting the Department of Defense 
within the past 2 years.
  These Defense Department systems are the foundation of our Nation's 
defense and security, and it is crucial that they are protected. 
Despite this understanding, our Nation is still not fully aware of the 
magnitude of the problems, and Congress is not appropriately advised of 
these past breaches.
  My amendment would require a report from the Secretary of the Defense 
to Congress so that we can begin to properly address the strength of 
our Nation's security.
  I thank Congresswoman Shea-Porter for supporting my amendment, and I 
urge all of my colleagues to do the same.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I have no further speakers on this en 
bloc amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield 90 seconds to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Correa).
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my amendment No. 88 of 
228, H.R. 2810.
  This amendment would call upon the Department of Defense to update 
its cyber strategy, requiring the President to draft guidance for 
offensive cyber capabilities, and to authorize international 
cooperation, including building of our NATO partner allies' 
cybersecurity.
  World war III is raging in cyberspace now. It has become one of the 
most crucial homeland and global security issues. Our Presidential 
election came under cyber attack, possibly compromising the American 
electoral system. But the U.S. is not alone. There were press reports 
of massive cyber attacks of French President Emmanuel Macron's campaign 
as well.
  My amendment will increase our offensive cyber capabilities to 
prevent our adversaries from engaging in cyber espionage like we 
witnessed during the past election cycle and recent global cyber 
attacks.
  Protecting our network is vital to the security of our Nation and 
allies, and my amendment works to that end.
  I thank Congresswoman Rosen for supporting my amendment as well, and 
I urge all my colleagues to do the same.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of the en bloc 
amendments, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Lipinski).
  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Chair, I want to start off by thanking the chair 
and ranking member for supporting these two amendments, one in this 
bloc, one in the next bloc.
  The first amendment will authorize the Hacking for Defense, or H4D, 
Program. This is an innovative program developed in Silicon Valley with 
the help of battlefield-experienced Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, and 
it finds unique solutions to national security problems.
  First taught at Stanford, H4D uses lean business startup methods to 
engage America's best and brightest in solving real security challenges 
faced by the DOD.
  Rapid, low-cost technological innovation is what makes Silicon Valley 
revolutionary, but the DOD hasn't historically had the mechanisms in 
place to harness this American advantage.
  Hacking for Defense creates ways for talented scientists and 
engineers to work alongside with veterans, military leaders, and 
business mentors to innovate solutions that make America safer. For 
example, a July 7 New York Times article details how an H4D graduate, 
Capella Space, is helping track North Korean nuclear capabilities, 
helping to try to make our world safer.
  Mr. Chairman, I include in the Record this article, along with these 
letters of support from universities and tech communities---

                [From the New York Times, July 7, 2017]

            Tiny Satellites Will Track North Korea Missiles

  (By David E. Sanger and William J. Broad; Eric Schmitt contributed

     intercontinental ballistic missile this week,

     the Pentagon and intelligence experts had sounded a warning: 
     Not only was the North making progress quickly, spy satellite 
     coverage was so spotty that the United States might not see a 
     missile being prepared for launch.
       That set off an urgent but quiet search for ways to improve 
     America's early-warning ability--and the capability to strike 
     missiles while they are on the launchpad. The most intriguing 
     solutions have come from Silicon Valley, where the Obama 
     administration began investing in tiny, inexpensive civilian 
     satellites developed to count cars in Target parking lots and 
     monitor the growth of crops.
       Some in the Pentagon accustomed to relying on highly 
     classified, multibillion-dollar satellites, which take years 
     to develop, resisted the move. But as North Korea's missile 
     program progressed, American officials laid out an ambitious 
     schedule for the first of the small satellites to go up at 
     the end of this year, or the beginning of next.
       Launched in clusters, some staying in orbit just a year or 
     two, the satellites would provide coverage necessary to 
     execute a new military contingency plan called ``Kill 
     Chain.'' It is the first step in a new strategy to use 
     satellite imagery to identify North Korean launch sites, 
     nuclear facilities and manufacturing capability and destroy 
     them pre-emptively if a conflict seems imminent.
       Even a few extra minutes of warning might save the lives of 
     tens of thousands of Americans--and millions of South Koreans 
     and Japanese who already live within range of the North's 
     missiles.
       ``Kim Jong-un is racing--literally racing--to deploy a 
     missile capability,'' Robert Cardillo, the director of the 
     National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which coordinates 
     satellite-based mapping for the government, said in an 
     interview days before North Korea's latest launch. ``His 
     acceleration has caused us to accelerate.''
       The timeline for getting the satellites in orbit, which 
     defense officials have never discussed publicly, reflects the 
     urgency of the problem. The missile launch by North Korea on 
     Tuesday was initiated from a new site, a mobile launcher at 
     the Pang Hyon Aircraft Factory. Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon 
     spokesman, said the missile ``is not one we have seen 
     before.''
       That mobility is the problem that the new satellites, with 
     wide coverage using radar sensors that work at night and 
     during storms, are designed to address. Less than one-third 
     of North Korea is under spy satellite coverage at a given 
     moment.
       American intelligence analysts detected indications of an 
     impending launch in the days before the missile firing, 
     according to a spokesman for the Defense Intelligence Agency, 
     Cmdr. William Marks. But even after the launch, the Pentagon 
     misjudged what it was looking at. Minutes after its 37-minute 
     flight ended, the United States Pacific Command described the 
     missile as an intermediate-range model, often seen.
       Hours later, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson issued a 
     very different conclusion: that the North had tested its 
     first intercontinental ballistic missile, able to reach 
     Alaska.
       The commercial radar push is one of several new ways the 
     administration is seeking to counter the North Korean threat. 
     President Trump inherited a secret effort to sabotage the 
     North's missile launches. But its success has been spotty at 
     best, especially of late.
       And joint American-South Korean missile tests, conducted 
     hours after the ICBM test, appeared to be part of the new 
     strategy that includes Kill Chain--the missiles were designed 
     to reach Pyongyang, where the country's leadership lives.
       Kill Chain was also mentioned in a joint statement issued 
     last week by the United States and South Korea, a notable 
     shift for the South's new president, Moon Jae-in. He has 
     rejected public discussion of pre-emptive military action, 
     arguing it plays into the North Korean paranoia that the 
     United States and its allies are plotting to end the Kim 
     government.
       Mr. Moon has spoken of reviving direct talks--a so-called 
     sunshine policy, which he advocated as chief of staff to an 
     earlier South Korean president.
       But Mr. Trump has tried to build pressure, using warships, 
     sanctions and missile defenses. He was recently presented 
     with new options, including military ones, for responding to 
     a sixth nuclear detonation by the North or a test of a 
     missile that could reach the United States.
       ``The threat is much more immediate,'' H.R. McMaster, Mr. 
     Trump's national security adviser, told a conference last 
     week at the Center for a New American Security in Washington. 
     ``So it's clear that we can't repeat the same approach--
     failed approach--of the past.''
       The new satellite initiative builds on technology created 
     more for Wall Street than the Pentagon. From an office in an 
     old Defense Department building within view of the Google 
     campus in California, Raj Shah, the director of the Defense 
     Innovation Unit Experimental, or DIUx, is already investing 
     in companies that exploit tiny civilian radar satellites, 
     able to pierce darkness or storms, in hopes that the Pentagon 
     can use them by the end of the year, or early in 2018.
       ``It's a very challenging target,'' said Mr. Shah, a former 
     F-16 pilot in Iraq whose extensive experience in Silicon 
     Valley appealed to Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter, who 
     set up the unit during Mr. Obama's second term and recruited 
     Mr. Shah.
       ``The key is using technologies that are already available, 
     and making the modifications we need for a specific military 
     purpose,'' Mr. Shah said.
       His unit made an investment to jump-start the development 
     efforts of Capella Space, a Silicon Valley start-up named 
     after a bright star. It plans to loft its first radar 
     satellite late this year. The company says its radar fleet, 
     if successfully deployed, will be able to monitor important 
     targets hourly.
       ``The entire spacecraft is the size of a backpack,'' said 
     Payam Banazadeh, a founder of the company. Born in Iran, he 
     learned satellite design at the University of Texas and 
     NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, specializing in 
     miniaturization.
       Once in orbit, the payload, he added, would unfurl its 
     antenna and solar panels.
       ``Everything is getting smaller,'' Mr. Banazadeh said of 
     the craft's parts. ``Even the next version of the satellite 
     is getting smaller.''
       Seeing the early fruits of the Pentagon experiment, the 
     National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is opening its doors 
     to companies that can supply it with satellite radar data in 
     addition to traditional images. Its outpost, set up this 
     year, is in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley.
       Federal officials rarely, if ever, acknowledge the poor 
     reconnaissance coverage of the North from traditional 
     military satellites. But William J. Perry, the former 
     secretary of defense, recently said in Washington that if the 
     North rolled out a missile to hit the United States or its 
     allies, ``there's a good chance we'd never see it.''
       The threat grew worse last year as North Korea began using 
     solid fuels after decades of relying on liquid propellants to 
     power its big rockets and missiles. While liquid-fueled 
     missiles can take hours or even days of preparation, solid-
     fueled missiles can be fired with little or no warning.
       Mr. Kim has made the effort a personal project, posing next 
     to a large solid-fueled motor after a successful ground test 
     last year. The North followed that firing with four 
     successful flight tests, twice last year and twice this year.
       The advances, said Young-Keun Chang, director of the Global 
     Surveillance Research Center at the Korea Aerospace 
     University in Seoul, moved the North significantly closer to 
     a mobile intercontinental missile that could eventually pose 
     ``a serious potential threat to the United States.''
       The key to detecting launch preparations is the near-
     constant presence of satellites that can see through clouds, 
     rain, snow, foliage and camouflage and can detect the 
     movement of military gear, including missiles. That requires 
     space-based radars, which over the years have been highly 
     expensive, with their big antennas and tendency to use large 
     amounts of power. Like any radar, they fire radio waves at 
     targets and gather faint echoes.
       Space-based radars can also detect changes in ground 
     elevation that signal hidden tunnels, bunkers and even 
     radioactive cavities left by nuclear blasts, experts say, 
     because such hollows cause the surface above them to subside 
     ever so slightly.
       But building the radars has historically been expensive for 
     the government.
       In 2007, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that a 
     constellation of 21 radar satellites would cost the nation up 
     to $94 billion--or more than $4 billion each. The report, 
     published shortly after the North's first nuclear detonation, 
     zeroed in on whether the satellites could track Korean 
     missiles on mobile launchers. It called the goal ``highly 
     challenging,'' and said 35 to 50 spacecraft would be needed 
     to make such detections rapidly.
       The new generation of tiny, cheap satellites has made that 
     outcome more achievable. Capella plans to loft its first 
     radar satellite late this year and build up to 36 orbital 
     radars, within the range the congressional report 
     recommended.
       In addition to Capella, private companies rushing to make 
     and exploit new generations of small radar satellites include 
     Ursa Space Systems in Ithaca, N.Y.; UrtheCast in Vancouver, 
     Canada; and Iceye in Espoo, Finland. Like many new companies 
     seeking to make small satellites, most have strong ties to 
     Silicon Valley.
       The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's initiative, 
     known as the Commercial Geoint Activity, builds on programs 
     in which the agency bought radar-satellite data from Canada, 
     Italy and Germany as part of its evaluation of the new 
     civilian technologies.
       Mr. Cardillo said the new partnerships could help the 
     United States close the gaps in tracking Mr. Kim's rapidly 
     expanding arsenal of threatening missiles.
       ``If any of these companies, new or old, can help fill 
     those gaps,'' he said, ``then I'm interested.''

     Washington, DC.
       Dear Representative Lipinski: I am writing to express my 
     personal support for your proposed amendment 352 to H.R. 
     2810, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2018. This amendment would provide statutory authorization 
     for the Hacking for Defense program, something developed here 
     at Stanford University that is effectively changing the way 
     students think about national security.

[[Page H5742]]

       Hacking for Defense is a class first taught at Stanford and 
     now at growing number of other universities around the 
     country in which students learn to apply lean startup methods 
     to national security challenges. Instructors gather projects 
     or problems from branches of the military and intelligence 
     agencies for the students to address. A core component of the 
     course is gaining an in-depth understanding of the problem 
     the students are trying to solve, which the students do by 
     conducting 100 interviews with potential ''customers'' or 
     beneficiaries of a solution. By the end of the course, 
     although students aren't required to come up with a new 
     product or service, many of them do such as the ''tiny 
     satellites'' project recently in the news regarding North 
     Korea's missiles.
       Hacking for Defense is valuable because it combines a 
     student's knowledge and entrepreneurial energy with the 
     experience of their business and military mentors to 
     innovatively solve national security challenges. In addition, 
     it exposes rising generation of technology stars to the 
     potential value and benefit of careers in national service.
       Authorization and federal support of this program will 
     enable its expansion to many more universities throughout the 
     country, helping solve high priority problems and train a new 
     generation of civic-minded entrepreneurs and technologists. I 
     strongly support inclusion of this program in the National 
     Defense Authorization Act.
           Respectfully,

     commend your support for the Hacking for Defense Program, 
     operated under MD5, the National Security Technology 
     Accelerator within the Office of the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. We 
     support your effort to authorize the program and create the 
     option for the Secretary of Defense to expend up to $15 
     million to expand and strengthen existing programs designed 
     to boost Veterans innovation education.
       A public-private partnership between the National Defense 
     University and a network of national research universities, 
     MD5 was recognized in the Fiscal Year 2017 National Defense 
     Authorization Act as "an important pilot program making vital 
     contributions in the field of technology innovation." The 
     program emphasizes the incentives, outreach, professional 
     military education, and skills-based training necessary to 
     build a National Security Innovation Corps.
       By leveraging programs like Hacking for Defense (H4D), MD5 
     is growing a cadre of entrepreneurs that are adept at 
     critical thinking, creative problem solving, and the 
     formation of successful ventures that deliver economic, 
     national security, and social value. H4D classes educate 
     Veterans and other students in technology innovation and 
     entrepreneurship, and provide a unique pathway for Veterans 
     to leverage their expertise while learning cutting-edge 
     business innovation methodology, increasing post-military 
     opportunities and applying their knowledge to new national 
     security problems.
       Additional funds will help MD5 build on its early success 
     by expanding H4D training to universities nationwide, as well 
     as government personnel and other organizations responsible 
     for innovation efforts. Funds will be used to expand the 
     development of resources, to include Veteran recruitment 
     materials, model curriculum, training materials, and best

     Hon. Daniel W. Lipinski,
     House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Representative Lipinski: For over 80 years, Alion has 
     been called upon to solve the nation's most important and 
     challenging problems. Our original charter in 1936, as Armour 
     Research Foundation (later the Illinois Institute of 
     Technology Research Institute, or ``IITRI''), identified our 
     purpose: ``to experiment upon, test, promote, and develop the 
     public, scientific, and commercial value of inventions, 
     discoveries, and processes.'' Our focus has remained 
     constant, while we continue to evolve to apply the latest 
     innovations in science, technology and engineering to address 
     the needs of this great nation. One innovation still in use 
     today is our development of the ``Armour alloy,'' a titanium 
     alloy that saved the Air Force's gas turbine engine program, 
     and is still used in military fighting vehicles and advanced 
     prosthetics. Beginning during the interwar period, continuing 
     through America's superpower status in the wake of our 
     successful contributions to World War II, and enduring 
     through the rapidly evolving and complex global security 
     environment of the present day, Alion is an important part of 
     the American fabric of innovation.
       Today, Alion stands strong on this solid foundation, 
     supporting customers in defense, civilian government, and 
     commercial industries. Our 21 labs and 2,300-person staff 
     provide Alion the physical and intellectual resources to 
     tackle any problem. Our history as an academic research 
     center informs our approach of bringing together the 
     brightest minds and best technologies from wherever they 
     reside: government labs, large industry, universities, or 
     small businesses. For example, when in 2015 the Secretary of 
     Defense established a new initiative to expand access to 
     global commercial technology innovations, Alion was the first 
     partner to close a deal with a commercial company focused on 
     big data analytics; as we have done many times, Alion 
     brokered an effective translation between military need and 
     commercial capabilities, bringing the two together into a 
     successful solution.
       As strong supporters of establishing a national security 
     innovation workforce, we commend your support for the Hacking 
     for Defense Program, operated under MD5, the National 
     Security Technology Accelerator within the Office of the

     Hon. Daniel W. Lipinski,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Representative Lipinski: The University of Colorado, 
     and its College of Engineering and Applied Science, is an 
     avid supporter of establishing a strong national security 
     innovation workforce, and we commend your support for MD5, 
     the National Security Technology Accelerator within the 
     Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics. We support your effort to 
     authorize the program and create the option for the Secretary 
     of Defense to expend up to $15 million to expand and 
     strengthen existing programs designed to boost veteran's 
     innovation education.
       In our position as the flagship research university in one 
     of the nation's top Aerospace & Defense economies, we 
     recognize the need to maintain a decisive advantage in 
     technology innovation. Our research partners--including Ball 
     Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Sierra Nevada 
     Corporation, and Raytheon--routinely emphasize an increasing 
     need for highly trained, technically competent, agile, and 
     innovative engineers and scientists to address the most 
     pressing technology challenges in National Security.
       As the newest member of MD5, we believe programs like 
     Hacking for Defense (H4D) are critical to developing a strong 
     corps of future entrepreneurs that are adept at critical 
     thinking, creative problem solving, and the formation of 
     successful ventures that deliver economic, national security, 
     and social value. The H4D curriculum educates veterans and 
     other students in technology innovation and entrepreneurship, 
     and provides a unique pathway to leverage their expertise 
     while learning cutting-edge business innovation methodology 
     and applying their knowledge to new national security 
     problems.
       Additional funding will help MD5 build on its early success 
     by expanding H4D training to universities and other 
     innovation organizations nationwide. Funds will be used to 
     expand the development of resources, to include veteran 
     recruitment materials, model curriculum, training materials, 
     and best practices that will further enhance our university 
     entrepreneurial education programs.
       We support your amendment 352 to H.R. 2810, the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, to continue 
     to grow the national security innovation workforce.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Robert D. Braun,

                                                    OGSYSTEMS,

                                                    July 12, 2017.
     Hon. Daniel W. Lipinski,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Representative Lipinski: As strong supporters of 
     establishing a national security innovation workforce, we 
     commend your support for the Hacking for Defense Program, 
     operated under MD5, the National Security Technology 
     Accelerator within the Office of the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. We 
     support your effort to authorize the program and create the 
     option for the Secretary of Defense to expend up to $15 
     million to expand and strengthen existing programs designed 
     to boost veteran innovation education.
       A public-private partnership between the National Defense 
     University and a network of national research universities, 
     MD5 was recognized in the Fiscal Year 2017 National Defense 
     Authorization Act as ``an important pilot program making 
     vital contributions in the field of technology innovation.'' 
     The program emphasizes the incentives, outreach, professional 
     military education, and skills-based training necessary to 
     build a National Security Innovation Corps.
       By leveraging programs like Hacking for Defense (H4D), MD5 
     is growing a cadre of entrepreneurs that are adept at 
     critical thinking, creative problem solving, and the 
     formation of the workforce innovative government contractors 
     like OGSystems need to deliver economic, national security, 
     and social value. H4D classes educate veterans and other 
     students in technology innovation and entrepreneurship, and 
     provide a unique pathway for veterans to leverage their 
     expertise while learning cutting-edge business innovation 
     methodology, increasing post-military opportunities and 
     applying their knowledge to new national security problems.
       I have personally seen the positive impact to the 
     Government agencies we support in both the H4D definition of 
     problems and in the engagement of innovative sources of ideas 
     to solve them. An example of one of the teams I helped to 
     mentor was Capella Space at Stanford University, who is now 
     VC funded and working on national defense problems in radar 
     that even the Multi-Billion defense contractors weren't 
     interested in investing IR&D funding. This is a win-win 
     situation in the activation of non-traditional sources of 
     innovation for DoD and the driving of solutions that impact 
     national security.
       Additional funds will help MDS build on its early success 
     by expanding H4D training to universities nationwide, as well 
     as government personnel and other organizations responsible 
     for innovation efforts. Funds will be used to expand the 
     development of resources, to include veteran recruitment 
     materials, model curriculum, training materials, and best 
     practices to support university entrepreneurial education 
     programs.
       We support amendment 352 to H.R. 2810, the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, to continue to grow 
     the national security innovation workforce.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Garrett Pagon,
                                                        President.

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Chair, the second amendment deals with 
cybersecurity standards.
  At the end of 2016, the DOD issued important updated cybersecurity 
standards for defense contractors. Companies must implement these new 
standards by January 1, 2018. However, I have heard from a number of 
small manufacturers in my district that it is very difficult getting 
the information and expertise necessary to institute these standards. 
They fear this may mean the end of their companies.
  America cannot afford to lose these small businesses, so my amendment 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to establish a cooperative program 
between the DOD and MIST to educate and assist small- and medium-sized 
manufacturing firms in achieving compliance with the updated 
cybersecurity standards.
  This would help improve cybersecurity access across the defense 
supply chain while also preserving competition for DOD contracts. It 
has received broad support from the business and technology community.
  Mr. Chair, I thank the chair and ranking member for supporting these 
two amendments in this bloc and the next.
  I ask my colleagues to support these amendments.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of my time 
to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Gottheimer).
  Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this bipartisan 
amendment to reauthorize the Suicide Prevention and Resilience Program 
to 2019.
  This is a critical program that provides members of the National 
Guard and Reserves, as well as their families, with training in suicide 
prevention, resilience, and community healing resources.
  We simply cannot allow this critical suicide prevention program to 
expire, not for the men and women who are or have been on the front 
lines. Our Nation's veterans deserve the best care after putting their 
lives on the line to protect the freedoms we hold dear.
  My bipartisan amendment reauthorizes and extends this program to 
improve safety and ensure continuity and peace of mind for the men and 
women who serve.
  Just one soldier lost to suicide is too many. We should do everything 
in our power to help as many servicemembers as we can.
  National Guardsmen and Reservists face unique challenges. They are 
citizen soldiers who do not live on a base. They often leave their jobs 
and families on a moment's notice to suit up to protect us.
  Even a great Guardsman or Reservist may not know when and how to ask 
for help, yet these men and women still need access to support systems 
and community networks to help identify potential mental health issues. 
That is why it is critical that we extend this program to protect the 
well-being of all of our soldiers.
  I am proud to offer this amendment in honor of those who serve in the 
New Jersey Guard and Reserve and across the Nation, as well as for 
their families.
  I thank my colleague, Congresswoman McSally, for her leadership on 
this issue and for her advocacy on behalf of all servicemembers.
  I also thank Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for their 
important work on this critical legislation. I look forward to coming 
together as Democrats and Republicans to defend our Nation and protect 
all of those who serve.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I urge adoption of the amendment, 
and I yield back the balance of my time.

[[Page H5744]]

  

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Chair, I rise today in support of 
Mr. Rogers' amendment allocating additional base funding for one of our 
nation's most critical battle management command and control platforms: 
the E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System, or JSTARS 
fleet.
  JSTARS' critical mission is enabled by leveraging its extremely 
capable active radar system providing invaluable moving target 
indicator (MTI) intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
targeting information to multiple users both on the ground and in 
airborne attack platforms.
  The demand for MTI capability within each geographic combatant 
commander's area of responsibility far exceeds what JSTARS can 
currently provide due to its limited legacy fleet size of 16 aircraft 
and strained crew resources.
  Thankfully, FY18 NDAA includes JSTARS Recapitalization funds, but the 
legacy fleet of 16 aircraft still has issues and challenges that the 
Air Force must successfully navigate to maintain viability until the 
current fleet is replaced by the Recapitalization program beginning in 
the late 2020s.
  Despite these issues and challenges, we are confident that the 
Secretary of the Air Force can develop a successful legacy JSTARS to 
JSTARS Recapitalization transition plan that would not prematurely 
retire E-8C aircraft, reassign crews or maintenance personnel, or 
otherwise increase the MTI ISR capability gap from what existing levels 
of aircraft are currently experiencing.
  To do this, we need strong support and necessary resources. That's 
why I'm here tonight in supporting additional resources for the JSTARS 
legacy fleet to update and maintain their critical battle management 
capabilities.
  As the premiere military in the world, we cannot afford to let this 
important military capability deteriorate before our eyes, putting our 
warfighters and strategic campaigns at risk around the world.
  One of the greatest duties we have as Members of Congress is to 
provide for our nation's defense, and I urge my colleagues to support 
this measure as well as other provisions supporting our warfighters and 
ensuring our men and women in uniform have the resources they need to 
meet the unique security needs of the 21st century.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered 
by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
  The en bloc amendments were agreed to.

       (1) Frequent surges in unfairly trade steel imports have 
     materially injured the iron ore and steel industries in the 
     United States, putting our national, economic, and energy 
     security at risk.

     success of the United States military and are used in a 
     variety of applications from aircraft carriers to armor plate 
     for tanks.
       (3) Domestic producers of defense-related steel products 
     are dependent on the overall financial health of the iron ore 
     and steel industries in the United States.
       (4) The loss of a strong domestic iron ore and steel 
     industry would make the United States dangerously dependent 
     upon foreign sources of steel, such as China.

     strong domestic iron ore and steel industry is vital to the

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman 
from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr. 
Smith) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I have no requests for time, and I 
simply urge adoption of this package of en bloc amendments.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume just to clean up a couple of earlier debates we had on 
amendments. I just wanted to make a couple of arguments.
  On the nuclear weapons issue, I just want to be clear, we support a 
strong and robust nuclear deterrence. We are not advocating unilateral 
disarmament by any stretch of the imagination.
  We are simply asking: In the budget challenge environment that we 
have, is this the best use of our money to totally rebuild our entire 
nuclear weapons system?
  And the amendments that were offered weren't even necessarily saying 
no. They are just saying this is something we ought to study and ought 
to talk about.
  And I will, however, disagree with one argument that was made about 
how somehow it is a myth that over the last 70 years, all of our 
adversaries are building nuclear weapons in response to the nuclear 
weapons that we have built. I think that is a big misreading of 
history.
  We all recall that we were first to the table on this. And thank 
goodness we were. It enabled us to end World War II. But we are still 
the only nation on Earth that has actually used nuclear weapons. And 
when the Soviet Union developed theirs, we had them and they didn't. 
And I think it is a little ridiculous to assume that no part of their 
thinking was that:

       Well, if the United States of America, our prime adversary, 
     has nuclear weapons, we better have them, too.

  And then we saw the arms race accelerate, even to the point of the 
famous debate in 1960, how candidate John Kennedy talked about the 
missile gap that we had. That turned out to be a total fabrication. It 
wasn't true. We didn't have that gap. It was unfair to what the 
Eisenhower administration was doing. But the argument from the other 
side that the notion of an arms race is ridiculous is something that I 
think is wrong.
  Arms races do happen. And part of what we need to do in working with 
our adversaries is to try to contain them in a reasonable fashion. So I 
do believe that in many cases, it becomes a self-perpetuating thing. We 
build them, they build them; we build them, they build them. And I hope 
that part of our nuclear strategy isn't just building as many nuclear 
weapons as is humanly possible, but is actually opening up lines of 
communication with potential adversaries like China, with adversaries 
like Russia.
  Now, I will grant you that where North Korea is concerned, and as I 
have said repeatedly, we have to deter them, but we have the power to 
destroy North Korea, I think, hundreds of times over. We have the 
capacity in terms of our weapons systems to deter them.

[[Page H5748]]

  So I hope, as we look at modernizing our nuclear weapons systems, we 
will consider the cost and the effectiveness of doing that. And I know 
Mr. Rogers has offered his thoughtful amendment to give the Department 
of Defense some opportunity to do that, but that is all we were trying 
to say on that.
  On BRAC, a couple of arguments were made at the end there that were 
somewhat misleading. One was that Secretary Mattis had said that he 
wanted to totally relook at the situation, implying that Secretary 
Mattis didn't think that a BRAC was a good idea.
  The Pentagon--President Donald Trump's Pentagon and Secretary Mattis' 
Pentagon--recommended a BRAC round that we rejected. So make no mistake 
about it, the Republican President and Secretary Mattis support a BRAC 
round.
  And two more minor points. It was argued that, well, we voted for 
this bill 60 to 1 out of committee, so we were all in favor of it. Yes, 
not all, but we were in favor of the bill. This was a small piece of 
that bill. So to argue in a bill--and forgive me, I don't know how many 
pages this year's bill is. I know last year's was 1,600--that in a 
1,600-page bill, if you vote for it, you have got to support absolutely 
everything in it is a notion that I don't think any Member would 
support.
  Again, I will emphasize an argument that I made with Mr. Wilson on 
the notion that, well, gosh, they don't have a study, they haven't 
looked at it, they haven't thought about what they are going to do, 
when, in fact, it is Congress that has prohibited them legislatively-- 
and I don't know how many of the last few years, but several of them--
from doing that.
  Let's at least let them take a look at it to give us the numbers, 
because the same point as the nuclear weapons issue, as we have heard 
over and over today, we have crucial readiness shortfalls.
  In many ways I will agree with the chairman: we are right now not 
doing right by the men and women who serve in the military by not 
providing them with the training and the equipment they need to do the 
missions that we are contemplating having them do. And if that is the 
case, if we can find savings by not building as many nuclear weapons as 
we need or by closing institutions that we do not need, then I think 
that is something that we owe the men and women who serve in the 
military.
  And let's not kid ourselves. This is a very parochial issue. There 
are a whole bunch of bases in the State of Washington. I don't want to 
see any of them closed, but if the military decides that that is the 
best thing to do, I am not going to stand in the way of it.
  And I hope, given the dire situation that we face that has been 
described by my Republican colleagues, that we would put parochial 
concerns to the side and do what is best for the military, to make sure 
that we are spending the money as wisely as we possibly can and to make 
absolutely certain that the men and women who serve are trained, 
equipped, and ready to fight whatever fight it is we ask them to go 
into.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of the second en bloc amendment, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  2300

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I want to take a moment to address the topics that the 
gentleman from Washington addressed.
  First off, I completely agree with him. This bill that we are 
considering today, tomorrow, and the next day is about 1,000 pages. I 
don't agree with it all. It has everything from missile defense to 
helping spouses pay licenses when they are forced to move from State to 
State, and I suspect I will not agree with it all at the end of the 
day.
  What is important, though, is the overriding obligation we have to 
support the men and women who risk their lives to protect us. So, I 
think the gentleman is exactly right. Just because you vote for the 
bill does not mean you endorse everything in it. And at the same time, 
even if you disagree with some of the things in it, it is important to 
support the men and women who serve by voting for the bill, even if you 
have disagreements. I completely concur with the gentleman on that.
  When it comes to the nuclear issue, there are a few points I want to 
make that maybe were not made during the previous debates.
  Number one is we have drastically fewer nuclear weapons now than we 
had during the Cold War. I think a lot of people do not realize how 
significantly fewer weapons and delivery systems we have now than we 
had all during the fifties, sixties, seventies, and into the eighties.
  But these are still machines. They do not live forever. Whether you 
are talking about the weapon itself or the delivery systems, they age; 
and, as they age, there are chemical reactions, parts wear out, and 
things change. So they have to be modernized if our deterrent is to 
remain credible.
  Now, you can get into an argument about, okay, how many weapons does 
it take to be credible and what delivery systems are required to 
penetrate defenses, to hold enough targets at risk, to have that 
credible defense, but what I think there can be little debate about is 
that the world is growing more dangerous in the nuclear field. We have 
seen what happened with North Korea. There is enormous concern about 
what happens in the Middle East and elsewhere.
  I believe that our nuclear deterrent is the foundation upon which the 
rest of our defense efforts are built, and that foundation must remain 
credible. It has to be rebuilt. My understanding is the estimates are 
at no point will rebuilding that entire nuclear deterrent require more 
than 7 percent of any year's defense budget, 7 percent for the 
foundation and 93 percent for the House that is built on it.
  It is essential that we maintain that credible deterrent, and it has 
got to be big enough to be credible so that a country like China does 
not think they can build a few more weapons and get to parity with the 
United States.
  On the subject of BRAC, I do disagree with the gentleman from 
Washington on this point. Two years ago, I specifically asked that we 
have included in the bill that was signed into law a requirement that 
the Pentagon provide us with an updated cost estimate on excess 
infrastructure.
  What we have all been citing is a 2004 estimate that there is about 
20 percent excess infrastructure. Twenty-two percent is the number that 
is often used. What we got back was seven pages of nothing.
  By the way, that was not prohibited by the bill. It was required by 
the bill.
  What I am interested in is a real updated, data-driven study that 
shows whether we have excess infrastructure and of what sort. And I 
think that is exactly what Secretary Mattis said. Let me quote his 
exact sentence:

       I am not comfortable right now that we have a full 20-some 
     percent excess infrastructure. I need to go back through and 
     look at this again because I don't want to get rid of 
     something that we can't sustain and then say we have got to 
     go buy some land here in 10 years.

  I think that is what we need is an updated study. And if it shows 
that we have got excess infrastructure, I am not at all opposed to 
having another round of BRAC. I am very opposed to having another round 
like 2005, which, I believe, it is either CBO or GAO, I can't remember 
which, says has not yet broken even 12 years later. It still costs more 
money than it has, and it has not started to save yet. So I don't want 
a repeat of that.
  I am interested if it shows that we do have excess infrastructure and 
a way to deal with that. Secretary Mattis, I believe, shares that view, 
but until we see the data, I am not supportive of another round.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. THORNBERRY. I yield to the gentleman.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, it is not clear that it has 
got a prohibition on a study, nor does it call for one.
  So as we get into conference, I think it might be a worthwhile thing 
to say that we authorize, ask--you know, and I am not sure if this is 
something the Defense Department can do without our authorization or 
not, but it is something that we should discuss as we get into 
conference, to have them do that study.
  I think that would be an excellent first step, but I am not sure that 
we

[[Page H5749]]

cover it in this bill. Maybe we do, and we can figure that out over the 
course of the next 48 hours. But if it doesn't, that is something that 
I think we ought to try to do.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the point. I am not 
convinced that the gentleman and I really differ on this point.
  What the bill says, now, is: ``Nothing in this act shall be construed 
to authorize an additional base alignment and closure round.'' That is 
what it says. It says we don't authorize it, of course. It does not 
prohibit a study to say whether we ought to. Again, I would welcome a 
real data-driven study that will help us reach that conclusion.
  Mr. Chairman, this is just further evidence that there is a wide 
range of issues and discussions to have on this bill, all for that 
purpose of supporting the men and women who serve our Nation.
  I support en bloc package No. 2. I urge my colleagues to, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Chair, I rise today in support of the bipartisan 
amendment I introduced with Congressman Tom Rooney from Florida. The 
amendment would require the Secretary of Defense to report to Congress 
within 180 days on the implementation of recommendations from a recent 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) report entitled ``Actions Needed 
to Ensure Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury Are 
Considered in Misconduct Separations,'' which was released in May 2017. 
GAO found that some of the service branch policies related to the 
consideration of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress 
disorder (PTSD) in ``other than honorable'' discharges were 
inconsistent with Department of Defense policy. To remedy these 
inconsistencies, DOD issued five recommendations.
  As the co-chair and co-founder of the Congressional Brain Injury Task 
Force, I have worked to address the effects brain injuries have on both 
the military and civilian populations. TBI and PTSD have been 
recognized as the signature injuries of the Wars in Iraq and 
Afghanistan. Estimates from the RAND Corporation in 2008 estimated that 
nearly 20 percent--or 320,000--of the 1.6 million men and women 
deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan sustained a brain injury while in the 
line of duty. Additionally, between 11-20 percent of Operations Iraqi 
Freedom and Enduring Freedom have PTSD in a given year, according to 
the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA).
  Given the impact that TBI and PTSD have on an individual's behavior 
and decision-making skills, it is imperative that these conditions are 
accurately diagnosed in a timely manner. It is also important that 
these conditions receive appropriate consideration when a servicemember 
is discharged for misconduct. According to the GAO's report, in the 
case of 16 percent of the separations for misconduct that the GAO 
examined, the servicemembers suffered from PTSD or TBI. Additionally, 
the GAO found that two of the four branches of the military have 
policies inconsistent with DOD's policy on the impact of TBI and PTSD 
on separations for misconduct. It is troubling that the Army and Marine 
Corps may not have adhered to their own screening, training, and 
counseling policies related to PTSD and TBI. That is why it is 
imperative that DOD's policies are implemented consistently across all 
of the military services and that there is adequate oversight of 
adherence.
  When an individual receives an ``other than honorable'' discharge, he 
or she may not be eligible for health benefits through the VA. A lack 
of health coverage is problematic for anyone, but especially so for 
individuals suffering from TBI or PTSD. DOD policy requires that 
servicemembers requesting separation in lieu of trial by court-martial 
be counseled on the negative consequences of this type of separation. 
However, of the 48 separation packets the GAO examined, 11 had unclear 
or undocumented evidence that counseling took place. If servicemembers 
are agreeing to less than honorable discharges, they need to understand 
the consequences of that decision.
  After the release of this report, I sent a letter to DOD Secretary 
James Mattis urging him to give due consideration to the 
recommendations made by the GAO. We must ensure the department provides 
accurate and timely diagnosis of PTSD and TBI in determining separation 
for misconduct, consistent policies across all branches of the military 
with accountability, and adequate counseling for servicemembers about 
the consequences of separation for misconduct, including the loss of 
health benefits.
  This amendment is supported by the Brain Injury Association of 
America, the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators, 
and the U.S. Brain Injury Alliance

       (a) Provision of Assistance.--If the Speaker of the House 
     of Representatives (or the Speaker's designee), with the 
     concurrence of the Minority Leader of the House of 
     Representatives (or the Minority Leader's designee), 
     determines that a cybersecurity event has occurred and that 
     containing, mitigating, or resolving the event exceeds the 
     resources of the House of Representatives, then 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law or any rule, 
     regulation, or executive order--
       (1) the Speaker may request assistance in responding to the

       Amendment No. 61 Offered by Mr. Rohrabacher of California

       At the end of subtitle B of title XII, add the following:

     SEC. 12XX. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO DR. SHAKIL AFRIDI.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The attacks of September 11, 2001, killed approximately 
     3,000 people, most of whom were Americans, but also included 
     hundreds of individuals with foreign citizenships, nearly 350 
     New York Fire Department personnel, and about 50 law 
     enforcement officers.
       (2) Downed United Airlines flight 93 was reportedly 
     intended, under the control of the al-Qaeda high-jackers, to 
     crash into the White House or the Capitol in an attempt to 
     kill the President of the United States or Members of the 
     United States Congress.
       (3) The September 11, 2001, attacks were largely planned 
     and carried out by the al-Qaeda terrorist network led by 
     Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahiri, after which 
     Osama bin Laden enjoyed safe haven in Pakistan from where he 
     continued to plot deadly attacks against the United States 
     and the world.
       (4) Since 2001, the United States has provided more than 
     $30 billion in security and economic aid to Pakistan.
       (5) The United States very generously and swiftly responded 
     to the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake in Pakistan with more than 
     $200 million in emergency aid and the support of several 
     United States military aircraft, approximately 1,000 United 
     States military personnel, including medical specialists, 
     thousands of tents, blankets, water containers and a variety 
     of other emergency equipment.
       (6) The United States again generously and swiftly 
     contributed approximately $150 million in emergency aid to 
     Pakistan following the 2010 Pakistan flood, in addition to 
     the service of nearly twenty United States military 
     helicopters, their flight crews, and other resources to 
     assist the Pakistan Army's relief efforts.
       (7) The United States continues to work tirelessly to 
     support Pakistan's economic development, including millions 
     of dollars allocated towards the development of Pakistan's 
     energy infrastructure, health services and education system.
       (8) The United States and Pakistan continue to have many 
     critical shared interests, both economic and security 
     related, which could be the foundation for a positive and 
     mutually beneficial partnership.
       (9) Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician, is a hero to 
     whom the people of the United States, Pakistan and the world 
     owe a debt of gratitude for his help in finally locating 
     Osama bin Laden before more innocent American, Pakistani and 
     other lives were lost to this terrorist leader.
       (10) Pakistan, the United States and the international 
     community had failed for nearly 10 years following attacks of 
     September 11, 2001, to locate and bring Osama bin Laden, who 
     continued to kill innocent civilians in the Middle East, 
     Asia, Europe, Africa and the United States, to justice 
     without the help of Dr. Afridi.
       (11) The Government of Pakistan's imprisonment of Dr. 
     Afridi presents a serious and growing impediment to the 
     United States' bilateral relations with Pakistan.
       (12) The Government of Pakistan has leveled and allowed 
     baseless charges against Dr. Afridi in a politically 
     motivated, spurious legal process.
       (13) Dr. Afridi is currently imprisoned by the Government 
     of Pakistan, a deplorable and unconscionable situation which 
     calls into question Pakistan's actual commitment to 
     countering terrorism and undermines the notion that Pakistan 
     is a true ally in the struggle against terrorism.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Dr. Shakil Afridi is an international hero and that the 
     Government of Pakistan should release him immediately from 
     prison.


           Amendment No. 62 Offered by Ms. Sinema of Arizona

       (2) On January 29, 2017, Iran tested the medium-range

     new section:

     SEC. 12_. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NORTH KOREA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known 
     as North Korea, continues

[[Page H5752]]

     to develop a ballistic and nuclear weapons development 
     program that poses a grave threat to the United States, 
     United States allies the Republic of Korea, Japan, and 
     Australia, and to regional and global security.
       (2) North Korea continues to escalate the pace and number 
     of its ballistic missile launches, and to date has conducted 
     five nuclear tests.
       (3) On July 4, 2017, North Korea conducted the first test 
     of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) it claims is 
     capable of reaching United States territory, which, if 
     reliable and effective, constitutes a new threat to America's 
     security.
       (4) On June 3, 2017, Secretary of Defense James Mattis 
     stated, during remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue, that ``the 
     current North Korea program signals a clear intent to acquire 
     nuclear armed ballistic missiles, including those of 
     intercontinental range that pose direct and immediate threats 
     to our allies, our partners and all the world''.
       (5) On April 27, 2017, Admiral Harry Harris, Jr., Commander 
     of the United States Pacific Command, testified that ``North 
     Korea continues to disregard United Nations sanctions by 
     developing, and threatening to use intercontinental ballistic 
     missiles and nuclear weapons that will threaten the U.S. 
     Homeland.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should act to counter North Korea's 
     continued development and testing of nuclear weapons and 
     intercontinental ballistic missiles;
       (2) the development of a functional and operational North 
     Korean nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile program 
     constitutes a threat to the security of the United States and 
     to our allies and partners in the region;
       (3) the defense of the United States and our allies against 
     North Korean aggression remains a top priority, and the 
     United States maintains an unwavering and steadfast 
     commitment to the policy of extended deterrence, especially 
     with respect to South Korea and Japan;
       (4) the United States supports the deployment of the 
     Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in South 
     Korea to counter North Korea's missile threat and the 
     deployment of ballistic missile defense systems to allies in 
     the Indo-Asia-Pacific region to protect from the growing 
     threat of North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile 
     programs;
       (5) the United States should encourage further multilateral 
     security cooperation and dialogue among South Korea, Japan, 
     and Australia to address the North Korea threat;
       (6) the United States calls upon the People's Republic of 
     China to use its leverage to pressure North Korea to cease 
     its provocative behavior and abandon and dismantle its 
     nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and comply with all 
     relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions;
       (7) the United States should fully enforce all existing 
     sanctions on North Korea and undertake a comprehensive 
     diplomatic effort to urge allies and other countries to fully 
     enforce, and build upon, existing international sanctions; 
     and
       (8) the United States should retain diplomatic, economic, 
     and military options to defend against and pressure North 
     Korea to abandon its illicit weapons program.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman 
from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr. 
Smith) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I urge Members to support en bloc 
package No. 3, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I urge Members to support the 
en bloc package, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chair, thank you for this opportunity to highlight 
my amendment, floor amendment Number 58 to H.R. 2810, the National 
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
  Among the battles fought by the United States (U.S.) during World War 
II were many battles throughout the Pacific, sometimes referred to as 
the Asia-Pacific. From 1941 through 1945, U.S. service members fought 
on land, in the air, and at sea through numerous South Pacific islands 
to secure peace and defend our democracy and freedom. Our nation 
suffered over 150,000 casualties in the war.
  My amendment recognizes that while Pearl Harbor memorializes the 
beginning of the Pacific War (the USS Arizona) and the end of the 
Pacific War (the USS Missouri), there is no memorial honoring our 
service members who defended our country and gave their lives during 
the Pacific War. As such, my amendment expresses the sense of Congress 
that there should be such a memorial established at or near the Pearl 
Harbor site of the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument 
in Honolulu, Hawai`i.
  The idea for a Pacific War Memorial originated with Admiral Lloyd 
``Joe'' Vasey, who turned 100 years old earlier this year. Admiral 
Vasey served aboard the submarine USS Gunnel in the Pacific during 
World War II, under John S. McCain, Jr., father of U.S. Senator John 
McCain. During a fierce battle aboard the Gunnel, Admiral Vasey thought 
to himself, ``There has to be a better way to resolve international 
disputes.'' Years later, Admiral Vasey put that thought into action and 
founded the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), also 
known as the Pacific Forum, to promote peace in the Asia-Pacific.
  In the words of Admiral Vasey: ``There is no recognition of the brave 
Americans who were lost in the Pacific War . . . They are resting on 
the bottom of the Pacific Ocean somewhere, or their remains are 
scattered across the South Pacific islands. We need to honor them, and 
their families need a place to mourn.''
  I wholeheartedly agree with Admiral Vasey and feel strongly that the 
location of such a memorial should be in Hawai`i, preferably at Pearl 
Harbor near the USS Arizona and USS Missouri. It would be fitting to 
share the stories of the brave service members who fought and gave 
their lives in the Pacific War alongside sites that commemorate events 
and other U.S. service members of the Pacific during World War II.
  I thank my House colleagues for supporting Admiral Vasey's idea and 
my amendment to H.R. 2810. I look forward to continuing my work with my 
colleagues to make Admiral

[[Page H5753]]

Vasey's desire for a Pacific War memorial a reality.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered 
by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
  The en bloc amendments were agreed to.

             amendment no. 69 offered by Mr. Turner of Ohio

       At the end of subtitle H of title XII, add the following:

     SEC. 12__. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY 
                   ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been 
     the cornerstone of transatlantic security cooperation and an 
     enduring instrument for promoting stability in Europe and 
     around the world for over 65 years.
       (2) NATO currently faces a range of security challenges, 
     including Russian aggression in Eastern Europe and 
     instability and conflict in the Middle East and North Africa.
       (3) In light of these and other threats, NATO must have a 
     credible deterrence to defend NATO members, if necessary, 
     against adversaries or threats.
       (4) Since the 2014 NATO summit in Wales and the 2016 summit 
     in Warsaw, NATO has made progress in implementing a Readiness 
     Action Plan to enhance allied readiness and collective 
     defense in response to Russian aggression. However, much work 
     remains to be done.
       (5) NATO's solidarity is strengthened by bolstering its 
     conventional and nuclear deterrence, increasing defense 
     spending by NATO members, and continuing the enlargement of 
     NATO.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) NATO members should--
       (A) continue to advance the NATO Open-Door Policy and build 
     on the successes of previous enlargement initiatives;
       (B) continue to work with countries that are seeking to 
     join NATO to prepare for entry;
       (C) commend Montenegro's final accession to NATO;
       (D) seek a Dayton II agreement to resolve the 
     constitutional issues faced by Bosnia and Herzegovina;
       (E) work with the Republic of Kosovo to prepare the country 
     for entrance into the NATO Partnership for Peace program;
       (F) continue support for the NATO Membership Action Plan 
     for Georgia;
       (G) implement specific plans to ensure that sufficient 
     investments are made to meet NATO responsibilities, including 
     by allocating at least 2 percent of each member's gross 
     domestic product to defense spending, 20 percent of which 
     should be dedicated to major equipment procurement, as agreed 
     at the 2014 Wales Summit and reaffirmed at the 2016 Warsaw 
     Summit;
       (H) continue to build on efforts to identify and address, 
     through consensus, the security threats facing the alliance, 
     such as by enhancing counterterrorism activities;
       (I) continue to bolster deterrence efforts and promote the 
     Enhanced Forward Presence in Eastern Europe;
       (J) as decided at the 2016 Warsaw Summit, use the new 
     rotational deployments of four multinational combat 
     battalions in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to 
     promote stability in that region as well as to deter Russian 
     aggression; and
       (K) invest in infrastructure projects necessary to 
     guarantee free and efficient movement throughout the 
     territories of NATO members; and
       (2) the United States should commit to maintaining a robust 
     military presence in Europe as a means of promoting allied 
     interoperability, providing visible assurance to NATO allies, 
     and deterring Russian aggression in the region.

     SEC. 12__. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE EXPORT OF DEFENSE 
                   ARTICLES TO TURKEY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) on June 6, 2017, the House of Representatives voted 
     unanimously to pass H. Res. 354, condemning the violence that 
     took place outside the Turkish Ambassador's residence on May 
     16, 2017, and calling on the perpetrators to be brought to 
     justice under United States law; and

     may be the recipient of arms exported from the United States 
     under a proposed deal.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the proposed sale of semiautomatic handguns for export to

     appropriate resolution is reached to the violence described 
     in subsection (a)(1).

           amendment no. 72 offered by Ms. Wilson of Florida

       At the end of subtitle H of title XII, add the following:

[[Page H5754]]

  


     SEC. 12__. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE CHIBOK SCHOOLGIRLS 
                   AND BOKO HARAM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) . The members of Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-
     Jihad, commonly known as Boko Haram, have terrorized the 
     people of Nigeria with increasing violence since 2009, 
     targeting military, government, and civilian sites in 
     Nigeria, including schools, mosques, churches, markets, 
     villages, and agricultural centers, and killing thousands and 
     abducting hundreds of civilians in Nigeria and the 
     surrounding countries.
       (2) On the night of April 14, 2014, 276 female students, 
     most of them between 15 and 18 years old, were abducted by 
     Boko Haram from the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School, 
     a boarding school located in Borno state in the Federal 
     Republic of Nigeria.
       (3) While some Chibok girls have fled their captors and 
     others have been released through negotiations, more than 100 
     Chibok girls remain in captivity.
       (4) In addition to kidnapping the Chibok schoolgirls, Boko 
     Haram has killed more than 20,000 people, coerced women and 
     girls into carrying out suicide missions, displaced more than 
     3,000,000 Nigerians, tens of thousands of whom are at risk of 
     starving to death, and caused thousand of school closures.
       (5) In supporting efforts to reunite the Chibok schoolgirls 
     with their families, the United States has authorized the 
     deployment of military personnel to assist with intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance, and provided training, 
     equipment, and humanitarian services to the populations 
     affected by and vulnerable to Boko Haram violence.
       (6) The Secretary of State designated several individuals 
     linked to Boko Haram, including its leader, Abubakar Shekau, 
     as Specially Designated Global Terrorists in 2012, and 
     designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 
     November 2013.
       (7) The Senate and the House of Representatives have both 
     passed legislation and undertaken other initiatives to 
     condemn Boko Haram and support the Chibok schoolgirls.
       (8) In addition to legislation, members of Congress have 
     traveled to Nigeria to meet with freed Chibok schoolgirls and 
     their families, held briefings, press conferences, and 
     hearings, and, every week that Congress is in session, 
     participated in Wear Something Red Wednesday, a bipartisan 
     campaign led by Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Republican 
     Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and Congresswoman 
     Frederica Wilson, during which lawmakers wear a red outfit or 
     accessory and take group photos to share on social media to 
     raise awareness about the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls.
       (9) The 114th Congress unanimously passed S. 1632, which 
     President Barack Obama signed into law on December 14, 2016, 
     to direct the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense 
     to jointly develop a five-year strategy to aid Nigeria and 
     the Multinational Joint Task Force, composed of troops from 
     Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria, to combat Boko 
     Haram.
       (10) On June 27, 2017, President Donald Trump met with two 
     freed Chibok schoolgirls at the White House.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) commends the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, 
     and Director of National Intelligence for delivering a report 
     to Congress on a five-year strategy for the United States to 
     employ diplomatic, development, defense, and other tools to 
     assist and enable our African partners to lead the effort to 
     degrade and ultimately defeat Boko Haram, the Islamic State 
     in Iraq and ash Sham - West Africa (ISIS-WA), and any 
     potential splinter or successor groups;
       (2) affirms United States support for the international 
     effort to degrade Boko Haram and ISIS-WA and to assist the 
     Multinational Joint Task Force to address the underlying 
     drivers of violent extremism; and
       (3) supports the efforts of the Department of Defense to 
     implement a United States strategy for countering Boko Haram 
     and ISIS-WA.

          amendment no. 80 offered by Mr. Correa of California

       At the end of subtitle D of title XVI, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 1656. STRATEGY FOR THE OFFENSIVE USE OF CYBER 
                   CAPABILITIES.

       (a) Findings.--
       (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (commonly known 
     as ``NATO'') remains a critical alliance for the United 
     States and a cost-effective, flexible means of providing 
     security to the most important allies of the United States.
       (2) The regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin is 
     actively working to erode democratic systems of NATO member 
     states, including the United States.
       (3) According to the report of the Office of the Director 
     of National Intelligence dated January 6, 2017, on the 
     Russian Federation's hack of the United States presidential 
     election: ``Russian efforts to influence the 2016 
     presidential election represent the most recent expression of 
     Moscow's longstanding desire to undermine the US-led liberal 
     democratic order.''.
       (4) As recently as May 4, 2017, the press reported a 
     massive cyber hack of French President Emmanuel Macron's 
     campaign, likely attributable to Russian actors.
       (5) It is in the core interests of the United States to 
     enhance the offensive and defensive cyber capabilities of 
     NATO member states to deter and defend against Russian cyber 
     and influence operations.
       (6) Enhanced offensive cyber capabilities would enable the 
     United States to demonstrate strength and deter the Russian 
     Federation from threatening NATO, while reassuring allies, 
     without a provocative buildup of conventional military 
     forces.
       (b) Sense of Congress on Cyber Strategy of the Department 
     of Defense.--It is the sense of Congress that --
       (1) the Secretary of Defense should update the cyber 
     strategy of the Department of Defense (as that strategy is 
     described in the Department of Defense document titled ``The 
     Department of Defense Cyber Strategy'' dated April 15, 2015); 
     and
       (2) in updating the cyber strategy of the Department, the 
     Secretary should--
       (A) specifically develop an offensive cyber strategy that 
     includes plans for the offensive use of cyber capabilities, 
     including computer network exploitation and computer network 
     attacks, to thwart air, land, or sea attacks by the regime of 
     Russian President Vladimir Putin and other adversaries;
       (B) provide guidance on integrating offensive tools into 
     the cyber arsenal of the Department; and
       (C) assist NATO partners, through the NATO Cooperative 
     Cyber Center of Excellence and other entities, in developing 
     offensive cyber capabilities.
       (c) Strategy for Offensive Use of Cyber Capabilities.--
       (1) Strategy required.--The President shall develop a 
     written strategy for the offensive use of cyber capabilites 
     by departments and agencies of the Federal Government.
       (2) Elements.--The strategy developed under paragraph (1) 
     shall include, at minimum--
       (A) a description of enhancements that are needed to 
     improve the offensive cyber capabilities of the United States 
     and partner nations, including NATO member states; and
       (B) a statement of principles concerning the appropriate 
     deployment of offensive cyber capabilities.
       (3) Submission to congress.--
       (A) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees (as that term is defined in 
     section 101(a)(16) of title 10, United States Code) the 
     strategy developed under paragraph (1).
       (B) Form of submission.--The strategy submitted under 
     subparagraph (A) may be submitted in classified form.
       (d) International Cooperation.--
       (1) Authority to provide technical assistance.--The 
     President, acting through the Secretary of Defense and with 
     the concurrence of the Secretary of State, is authorized to 
     provide technical assistance to NATO member states to assist 
     such states in developing and enhancing offensive cyber 
     capabilities.
       (2) Technical experts.--In providing technical assistance 
     under paragraph (1), the President, acting through the NATO 
     Cooperative Cyber Center of Excellence, may detail technical 
     experts in the field of cyber operations to NATO member 
     states.
       (3) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to preclude or limit the authorities of the 
     President or the Secretary of Defense to provide cyber-
     related assistance to foreign countries, including the 
     authority of the Secretary to provide such assistance under 
     section 333 of title 10, United States Code.
