       (a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a 
     pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of 
     distributing royalties and other payments as described in 
     this section. Under the pilot program, except as provided in 
     subsections (b) and (d), any royalties or other payments 
     received by a Federal agency from the licensing and 
     assignment of inventions under agreements entered into by 
     Department of Defense laboratories, and from the licensing of 
     inventions of Department of Defense laboratories, shall be 
     retained by the laboratory which produced the invention and 
     shall be disposed of as follows:
       (1)(A) The laboratory director shall pay each year the 
     first $2,000, and thereafter at least 20 percent, of the 
     royalties or other payments, other than payments of patent 
     costs as delineated by a license or assignment agreement, to 
     the inventor or coinventors, if the inventor's or 
     coinventor's rights are directly assigned to the United 
     States.
       (B) A laboratory director may provide appropriate 
     incentives, from royalties or other payments, to laboratory 
     employees who are not an inventor of such inventions but who 
     substantially increased the technical value of the 
     inventions.
       (C) The laboratory shall retain the royalties and other 
     payments received from an invention until the laboratory 
     makes payments to employees of a laboratory under 
     subparagraph (A) or (B).
       (2) The balance of the royalties or other payments shall be 
     transferred by the agency to its laboratories, with the 
     majority share of the royalties or other payments from any 
     invention going to the laboratory where the invention 
     occurred. The royalties or other payments so transferred to 
     any laboratory may be used or obligated by that laboratory 
     during the fiscal year in which they are received or during 
     the 2 succeeding fiscal years--
       (A) to reward scientific, engineering, and technical 
     employees of the laboratory, including developers of 
     sensitive or classified technology, regardless of whether the 
     technology has commercial applications;
       (B) to further scientific exchange among the laboratories 
     of the agency;
       (C) for education and training of employees consistent with 
     the research and development missions and objectives of the 
     agency or laboratory, and for other activities that increase 
     the potential for transfer of the technology of the 
     laboratories of the agency;
       (D) for payment of expenses incidental to the 
     administration and licensing of intellectual property by the 
     agency or laboratory with respect to inventions made at that 
     laboratory, including the fees or other costs for the 
     services of other agencies, persons, or organizations for 
     intellectual property management and licensing services; or
       (E) for scientific research and development consistent with 
     the research and development missions and objectives of the 
     laboratory.
       (3) All royalties or other payments retained by the 
     laboratory after payments have been made pursuant to 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) that are unobligated and unexpended at 
     the end of the second fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year 
     in which the royalties and other payments were received shall 
     be paid into the Treasury of the United States.
       (b) Treatment of Payments to Employees.--
       (1) In general.--Any payment made to an employee under the 
     pilot program shall be in addition to the regular pay of the 
     employee and to any other awards made to the employee, and 
     shall not affect the entitlement of the employee to any 
     regular pay, annuity, or award to which the employee is 
     otherwise entitled or for which the employee is otherwise 
     eligible or limit the amount thereof. Any payment made to an 
     inventor as such shall continue after the inventor leaves the 
     laboratory.
       (2) Cumulative payments.--(A) Cumulative payments made 
     under the pilot program while the inventor is still employed 
     at the laboratory shall not exceed $500,000 per year to any 
     one person, unless the Secretary concerned (as defined in 
     section 101(a) of title 10, United States Code) approves a 
     larger award.
       (B) Cumulative payments made under the pilot program after 
     the inventor leaves the laboratory shall not exceed $150,000 
     per year to any one person, unless the head of the agency 
     approves a larger award (with the excess over $150,000 being 
     treated as an agency award to a former employee under section 
     4505 of title 5, United States Code).
       (c) Invention Management Services.--Under the pilot 
     program, a laboratory receiving royalties or other payments 
     as a result of invention management services performed for 
     another Federal agency or laboratory under section 207 of 
     title 35, United States Code, may retain such royalties or 
     payments to the extent required to offset payments to 
     inventors under subparagraph (A) of subsection (a)(1), costs 
     and expenses incurred under subparagraph (D) of subsection 
     (a)(2), and the cost of foreign patenting and maintenance for 
     any invention of the other agency. All royalties and other 
     payments remaining after offsetting the payments to 
     inventors, costs, and expenses described in the preceding 
     sentence shall be transferred to the agency for which the 
     services were performed, for distribution in accordance with 
     subsection (a)(2).
       (d) Certain Assignments.--Under the pilot program, if the 
     invention involved was one assigned to the laboratory--
       (1) by a contractor, grantee, or participant, or an 
     employee of a contractor, grantee, or participant, in an 
     agreement or other arrangement with the agency; or
       (2) by an employee of the agency who was not working in the 
     laboratory at the time the invention was made,
     the agency unit that was involved in such assignment shall be 
     considered to be a laboratory for purposes of this section.
       (e) Sunset.--The pilot program under this section shall 
     terminate 5 years after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.

     Code, is amended by inserting after section 183 the following 
     new section:

     ``Sec. 183a. Military Aviation and Installation Assurance 
       Clearinghouse for review of mission obstructions

       ``(a) Establishment.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     establish a Military Aviation and Installation Assurance 
     Siting Clearinghouse (in this section referred to as the 
     `Clearinghouse').
       ``(2) The Clearinghouse shall be--
       ``(A) organized under the authority, direction, and control 
     of an Assistant Secretary of Defense designated by the 
     Secretary; and
       ``(B) assigned such personnel and resources as the 
     Secretary considers appropriate to carry out this section.
       ``(b) Functions.--(1) The Clearinghouse shall coordinate 
     Department of Defense review of applications for energy 
     projects filed with the Secretary of Transportation pursuant 
     to section 44718 of title 49 and received by the Department 
     of Defense from the Secretary of Transportation. In 
     performing such coordination, the Clearinghouse shall provide 
     procedures to ensure affected local military installations 
     are consulted.
       ``(2) The Clearinghouse shall accelerate the development of 
     planning tools necessary to determine the acceptability to 
     the Department of Defense of proposals included in an 
     application for an energy project submitted pursuant to such 
     section.
       ``(3) The Clearinghouse shall perform such other functions 
     as the Secretary of Defense assigns.
       ``(c) Review of Proposed Actions.--(1) Not later than 60 
     days after receiving from the Secretary of Transportation a 
     proper application for an energy project under section 44718 
     of title 49 that may have an adverse impact on military 
     operations and readiness, the Clearinghouse shall conduct a 
     preliminary review of such application. The review shall--
       ``(A) assess the likely scope, duration, and level of risk 
     of any adverse impact of such energy project on military 
     operations and readiness; and
       ``(B) identify any feasible and affordable actions that 
     could be taken by the Department, the developer of such 
     energy project, or others to mitigate the adverse impact and 
     to minimize risks to national security while allowing the 
     energy project to proceed with development.
       ``(2) If the Clearinghouse finds under paragraph (1) that 
     an energy project will have an adverse impact on military 
     operations and readiness, the Clearinghouse shall issue to 
     the applicant a notice of presumed risk that describes the 
     concerns identified by the Department in the preliminary 
     review and requests a discussion of possible mitigation 
     actions.
       ``(3) At the same time that the Clearinghouse issues to the 
     applicant a notice of presumed risk under paragraph (2), the 
     Clearinghouse shall provide the same notice to the governor 
     of the State in which the project is located and request that 
     the governor provide the Clearinghouse any comments the 
     governor believes of relevance to the application. The 
     Secretary of Defense shall consider the comments of the 
     governor in the Secretary's evaluation of whether the project 
     presents an unacceptable risk to the national security of the 
     United States and shall include the comments with the finding 
     provided to the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to 
     section 44718(f) of title 49.
       ``(4) The Clearinghouse shall develop, in coordination with 
     other departments and agencies of the Federal Government, an 
     integrated review process to ensure timely notification and 
     consideration of energy projects filed with the Secretary of 
     Transportation pursuant to section 44718 of title 49 that may 
     have an adverse impact on military operations and readiness.
       ``(5) The Clearinghouse shall establish procedures for the 
     Department of Defense for the coordinated consideration of 
     and response to a request for a review received from another 
     Federal agency, a State government, an Indian tribal 
     government, a local government, a landowner, or the developer 
     of an energy project, including guidance to personnel at each 
     military installation in the United States on how to initiate 
     such procedures and ensure a coordinated Department response.
       ``(6) The Clearinghouse shall develop procedures for 
     conducting early outreach to parties carrying out energy 
     projects that could have an adverse impact on military 
     operations and readiness and to clearly communicate to such 
     parties actions being taken by the Department of Defense 
     under this section. The procedures shall provide for filing 
     by such parties of a project area and preliminary project 
     layout at least one year before expected construction of any 
     project proposed within a military training route or within 
     line-of-sight of any air route surveillance radar or airport 
     surveillance radar operated or used by the Department of 
     Defense in order to provide adequate time for analysis and 
     negotiation of mitigation options. Material marked as 
     proprietary or competition sensitive by a party filing for 
     this preliminary review shall be protected from public 
     release by the Department of Defense.
       ``(d) Comprehensive Review.--(1) The Secretary of Defense 
     shall develop a comprehensive strategy for addressing the 
     impacts upon the military of projects filed with the 
     Secretary of Transportation pursuant to section 44718 of 
     title 49.
       ``(2) In developing the strategy required by paragraph (1),

     this section, that such project, in isolation or cumulatively 
     with other projects, would result in an unacceptable risk to 
     the national security of the United States. The Secretary of 
     Defense's finding of unacceptable risk to national security 
     shall be transmitted to the Secretary of Transportation for 
     inclusion in the report required under section 44718(b)(2) of

     SEC. 335. 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 
     installations and the cost of such mitigations.
       (C) A discussion of the climate-change related effects on 
     the Department, including the increase in the frequency of 
     humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions and the 
     theater campaign plans, contingency plans, and global posture 
     of the combatant commanders.
       (D) An overview of mitigations that may be necessary to 
     ensure mission resiliency and the cost of such mitigations.
       (3) Form.--The report required under paragraph (1) shall be 
     submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified 
     annex.

     personnel policies, including career progression, promotion 
     policies, and a perceived lack of opportunity for schooling 
     and broadening assignments.

     policies inhibit the professional development of officers.
       (3) An analysis of the impact that increased flexibility in 
     promotion, assignments, and career length would have on

     categories or an independent career and promotion path for 
     officers in low-density military occupational specialties.

     expertise.

     year military career and the mechanisms that could be 
     employed to encourage officers to pursue these varying career 
     lengths.

     taken within current statutory authority to address officer

     held perceptions on appropriate promotion timelines, career

     officer corps disproportionately weighted toward officers

     and captain, if statutory officer grade caps are relaxed.

     reserve active-status throughout the course of their military 
     careers.

     authorities and any changes needed to these authorities to

     and product support necessary to achieve the national 
     security strategy prescribed by the President pursuant to 
     section 108 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 
     3043) and to support the United States Armed Forces.

     States Armed Forces, but also future Armed Forces of the

     Sustainment, shall

[[Page H8751]]

     develop policy on the acquisition or licensing of

       ``(1) to enable coordination and consistency across the 
     military departments and the Department of Defense in 
     strategies for acquiring or licensing intellectual property 
     and communicating with industry;
       ``(2) to ensure that program managers are aware of the 
     rights afforded the Federal Government and contractors in 
     intellectual property and that program managers fully 
     consider and use all available techniques and best practices 
     for acquiring or licensing intellectual property early in the 
     acquisition process; and
       ``(3) to encourage customized intellectual property 
     strategies for each system based on, at a minimum, the unique 
     characteristics of the system and its components, the product 
     support strategy for the system, the organic industrial base 
     strategy of the military department concerned, and the 
     commercial market.
       ``(b) Cadre of Intellectual Property Experts.--(1) The 
     Secretary of Defense, acting through the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, shall establish a 
     cadre of personnel who are experts in intellectual property 
     matters. The purpose of the cadre is to ensure a consistent, 
     strategic, and highly knowledgeable approach to acquiring or 
     licensing intellectual property by providing expert advice, 
     assistance, and resources to the acquisition workforce on 
     intellectual property matters, including acquiring or 
     licensing intellectual property.
       ``(2) The Under Secretary shall establish an appropriate 
     leadership structure and office within which the cadre shall 
     be managed, and shall determine the appropriate official to 
     whom members of the cadre shall report.
       ``(3) The cadre of experts shall be assigned to a program 
     office or an acquisition command within a military department 
     to advise, assist, and provide resources to a program manager 
     or program executive officer on intellectual property matters 
     at various stages of the life cycle of a system. In 
     performing such duties, the experts shall--
       ``(A) interpret and provide counsel on laws, regulations, 
     and policies relating to intellectual property;

     valuation of intellectual property;
       ``(D) assist in the drafting of a solicitation, contract, 
     or other transaction;
       ``(E) interact with or assist in interactions with 
     contractors, including communications and negotiations with 
     contractors on solicitations and awards; and

     delivered pursuant to a contract is incomplete or does not 
     comply with the terms of agreements.
       ``(4)(A) In order to achieve the purpose set forth in 
     paragraph (1), the Under Secretary shall ensure the cadre has 
     the appropriate number of staff and such staff possesses the 
     necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to carry out the 
     duties under paragraph (2), including in relevant areas of 
     law, contracting, acquisition, logistics, engineering, 
     financial analysis, and valuation. The Under Secretary, in 
     coordination with the Defense Acquisition University and in 
     consultation with academia and industry, shall develop a 
     career path, including development opportunities, exchanges, 
     talent management programs, and training, for the cadre. The 
     Under Secretary may use existing authorities to staff the 
     cadre, including those in subparagraphs (B), (C), (D), and 
     (F).
       ``(B) Civilian personnel from within the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense, Joint Staff, military departments, 
     Defense Agencies, and combatant commands may be assigned to 
     serve as members of the cadre, upon request of the Director.
       ``(C) The Under Secretary may use the authorities for 
     highly qualified experts under section 9903 of title 5, to 
     hire experts as members of the cadre who are skilled 
     professionals in intellectual property and related matters.
       ``(D) The Under Secretary may enter into a contract with a 
     private-sector entity for specialized expertise to support 
     the cadre. Such entity may be considered a covered Government 
     support contractor, as defined in section 2320 of this title.
       ``(E) In establishing the cadre, the Under Secretary shall 
     give preference to civilian employees of the Department of 
     Defense, rather than members of the armed forces, to maintain 
     continuity in the cadre.
       ``(F) The Under Secretary is authorized to use amounts in 
     the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund for the 
     purpose of recruitment, training, and retention of the cadre, 
     including paying salaries of newly hired members of the cadre 
     for up to three years.''.

     for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat. 889), and

       (a) Report on Plans to Address Developmental Test and 
     Evaluation Responsibilities Within the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense.--

[[Page H8773]]

       (1) In general.--Not later than 60 days 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 containing a strategy 
     to ensure that there is sufficient expertise, oversight, and 
     policy direction on developmental test and evaluation within 
     the Office of the Secretary of Defense after the completion 
     of the reorganization of such Office required under section 
     901 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2339).
       (2) Elements.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall 
     address the following:
       (A) The structure of the roles and responsibilities of the 
     senior Department of Defense official responsible for 
     developmental test and evaluation, as distinct from 
     operational test and evaluation or systems engineering.
       (B) The location of the senior Department of Defense 
     official responsible for developmental test and evaluation 
     within the organizational structure of the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense.
       (C) An estimate of personnel and other resources that 
     should be made available to the senior Department of Defense 
     official responsible for developmental test and evaluation to 
     ensure that such official can provide independent expertise, 
     oversight, and policy direction and guidance Department of 
     Defense-wide.
       (D) Methods to ensure that the senior Department of Defense 
     official responsible for developmental test and evaluation 
     will be empowered to facilitate Department of Defense-wide 
     efficiencies by helping programs to optimize test designs and 
     activities, including ensuring access to program data and 
     participation in acquisition program oversight.
       (E) Methods to ensure that an advocate for test and 
     evaluation workforce will continue to exist within the 
     acquisition workforce.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) developmental testing is critical to reducing 
     acquisition program risk by providing valuable information to 
     support sound decision making;
       (2) major defense acquisition programs often do not conduct 
     enough developmental testing, so too many problems are first 
     identified during operational testing, when they are 
     expensive and time-consuming to fix; and
       (3) in order to ensure that effective developmental testing 
     is conducted on major defense acquisition programs, the 
     Secretary of Defense should--
       (A) carefully consider where the senior Department of 
     Defense official responsible for developmental test and 
     evaluation is located within the organizational structure of 
     the Office of the Secretary of Defense; and
       (B) ensure that such official has sufficient authority and 
     resources to provide oversight and policy direction on 
     developmental test and evaluation Department of Defense-wide.

     assessment to determine whether there is duplication in 
     matters relating to corrosion prevention and control and 
     mitigation of corrosion of the military equipment and 
     infrastructure of the Department of Defense between the 
     Office of Corrosion Policy and Oversight and other elements 
     of the Department, including, in particular, the Corrosion 
     Control and Prevention Executives of the military 
     departments.
       (c) Recommendation.--If the report required by subsection 
     (a) includes a recommendation to terminate the Office of 
     Corrosion Policy and Oversight, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall include recommendations for such additional 
     authorities, if any, for the military departments and the

     SEC. 1085. 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 aboard 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.
       (3) In 1924, Lt. Dixie Kiefer made the first night catapult 
     launch in a Vought UO-1 in San Diego harbor.
       (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, aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 
     73) provided humanitarian assistance, medical supplies, food, 
     and water to the victims in the Republic of the Philippines 
     of Super Typhoon Haiyan, once again demonstrating the 
     versatility of aircraft carriers for combat, diplomatic, and 
     humanitarian operations.
       (6) In 2017, the first of the next generation of aircraft 
     carriers, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), was commissioned, 
     marking a continuation of the innovative naval aviation 
     spirit, technological advancement, and war fighting 
     capabilities of aircraft carriers.
       (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, 
     often obviating the need to obtain fly-over rights and land-
     base rights from other nations.
       (12) Aircraft carriers are modern, mobile United States 
     military bases 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 patrol 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.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) United States aircraft carriers are premier sea-based 
     power projection platforms and have served the Nation's 
     interests in times of war and peace, adapting to the 
     immediate and ever-changing nature of the world for over 90 
     years; and
       (2) aircraft carrier contributions and heritage should be 
     celebrated.

                   NAVY SEABEES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On March 5, 1942, Navy Construction Force personnel, 
     known as the ``Seabees'', were officially established 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 Navy fleet and combatant commands worldwide, 
     through the construction, both on land and underwater, of 
     bases, airfields, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.
       (6) 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.

[[Page H8792]]

       (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. 1095. 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, meddling in Mexican affairs, 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, submarines 
     and anti-submarine warfare, 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 
     arrived in Europe in June 1917 and deployed for combat 
     operations in October.
       (7) By the end of World War I, almost 2,000,000 members of 
     the Army served overseas in the American Expeditionary 
     Forces.
       (8) During World War I, the United States Navy increased in 
     strength from approximately 67,000 sailors and marines to 
     approximately 500,000 sailors and marines by the war's end, 
     and the size of the Navy increased from around 200 ships at 
     the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914, to 342 vessels by the 
     time the United States entered the war, and 774 vessels by 
     the day of the Armistice
       (9) The Navy operated in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, 
     and the North and Mediterranean Seas in cooperation with 
     allied navies.
       (10) The Navy began the fight against the German U-boat 
     menace by first dispatching 34 destroyers stationed 
     specifically for such purpose, which by war's end grew to 110 
     total destroyers
       (11) Navy vessels escorted troop transports carrying 
     1,250,000 passengers and escorted supply transports carrying 
     27 percent of all cargo shipped to Europe.
       (12) The Navy deployed five batteries of large-caliber 
     battleship guns mounted on railroad trains to France for 
     service as long-range artillery for the Army.
       (13) The United States Coast Guard transferred to the 
     operational control of the Navy and augmented that service 
     with officers and sailors, vessels of all types, and shore 
     stations.
       (14) The United States Marine Corps, with an eventual 
     wartime strength of 53,000 officers and men, detached the 5th 
     and 6th regiments and a machine gun battalion to constitute 
     an infantry brigade integrated into the Army's 2d Division 
     for service in France.
       (15) On July 4, 1917, Colonel Charles E. Stanton, one of 
     the officers on the staff of General John Pershing, commander 
     of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe, famously 
     announced the commitment of the United States to the fight 
     when Colonel Stanton proclaimed upon his arrival in France, 
     ``Lafayette, we are here!''.
       (16) Whereas the American Expeditionary Forces formed three 
     field armies, nine corps and 43 divisions, plus various units 
     of the Services of Supply.
       (17) The American Expeditionary Forces suffered 255,000 
     casualties and over 50,000 non-battle casualties while 
     participating in 13 named campaigns in World War I.
       (18) Participation in World War I resulted in the 
     completion of a period of reform and professionalism that 
     transformed the Armed Forces from a small dispersed 
     organization to a modern industrialized fighting force 
     capable of global reach and influence.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) honors the memory of the fallen heroes who wore the 
     uniform of the United States Armed Forces during World War I;
       (2) commends the Unites States Armed Forces for preserving 
     and protecting the interests of the United States during 
     World War I;
       (3) commends the brave members of the United States Armed 
     Forces for their courage while preserving the founding 
     principles of the United States at home and abroad during 
     World War I;
       (4) commends the brave members of the United States Armed 
     Forces for preserving and protecting the sea lanes of 
     commerce and communications during World War I that ensured 
     the continued prosperity of the United States;
       (5) celebrates and congratulates the United States Army, 
     Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard during the 
     commemoration of the centennial of World War I for a job well 
     done; and
       (6) calls on all people of the United States to join in the 
     commemoration of the centennial of World War I in events 
     throughout the United States and overseas.

     apportionments, or areas of control contemplated by the 
     agreement.

                   FEDERATION.

       Section 1232 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2488) is 
     amended--
       (1) in subsection (a)--

     and
       (B) by inserting ``in the fiscal year concerned'' after 
     ``may be used''; and
       (2) in subsection (c), by inserting ``with respect to funds 
     for a fiscal year'' after ``the limitation in subsection 
     (a)''.

     SEC. 1232. PROHIBITION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS RELATING TO 
                   SOVEREIGNTY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION OVER 
                   CRIMEA.

       (a) Prohibition.--None of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
     fiscal year 2018 for the Department of Defense may be 
     obligated or expended to implement any activity that 
     recognizes the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over 
     Crimea.
       (b) Waiver.--The Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 
     of the Secretary of State, may waive the restriction on the 
     obligation or expenditure of funds required by subsection (a) 
     if the Secretary--
       (1) determines that to do so is in the national security 
     interest of the United States; and
       (2) submits a notification of the waiver, at the time the 
     waiver is invoked, to the Committee on Armed Services and the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives 
     and the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate.

     SEC. 1233. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EUROPEAN SECURITY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Russia's ongoing aggressive actions, including its 
     invasions of Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014, threats to 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies, rapid 
     military modernization, advanced anti-access and area denial 
     capabilities, increasing military activity in the Arctic 
     region and Mediterranean Sea, evolving nuclear doctrine and 
     capabilities, and violations of the Intermediate-Range 
     Nuclear Forces Treaty Between the United States of America 
     and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Treaty on 
     Open Skies, constitute a major challenge to the security 
     interests of the United States and its allies and partners in 
     Europe.
       (2) Russia's ongoing malign influence activities, including 
     misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, cyberattacks, 
     election interference, active measures, and hybrid warfare 
     operations pose not only a threat to the security interests 
     of the United States and its allies and partners in Europe, 
     but to the integrity of Western democracies and the 
     institutions and alliances they support.
       (3) Russia's doctrine of ``escalate to de-escalate'', along 
     with its tactical nuclear capabilities, threaten United 
     States forces and European allies and exacerbate the risk of 
     miscalculation and escalation in a crisis.
       (4) The European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) continues to 
     improve credible deterrence against Russian aggression by--
       (A) training and equipping military forces of NATO allies 
     and European partners;
       (B) enhancing the indications and warning, 
     interoperability, and logistics capabilities of United States 
     allies and partners; and
       (C) improving the agility and flexibility of partners and 
     allies to address threats across the full spectrum of 
     domains.
       (5) A strong NATO alliance is the cornerstone of 
     transatlantic security cooperation and the guarantor of peace 
     and stability in Europe.
       (6) The steps taken at the NATO 2014 Wales Summit and the 
     NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit, including the adoption and 
     implementation of the Readiness Action Plan (RAP), the 
     formation of the Very High Joint Readiness Force (VJTF), the 
     Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP) multinational battalions 
     deployed to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, and the 
     Tailored Forward Presence in Romania and Bulgaria, have 
     strengthened NATO readiness and collective defense.
       (7) Montenegro's accession into NATO is a strong step 
     toward strengthening the alliance, enhancing security and 
     stability in Southeastern Europe, and reaffirming NATO's 
     commitment to an ``Open Door'' policy.
       (8) Cooperation with non-NATO allies and members of the 
     Partnership for Peace program enhances security and stability 
     in Europe.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should support a Europe whole, free, 
     and at peace and the sovereign right of all European states 
     to pursue integration into the Euro-Atlantic community 
     through institutions such as NATO and the European Union;
       (2) the United States should develop and implement a policy 
     and strategy backed by all elements of United States power to 
     deter and, if necessary, defeat Russian aggression, which 
     will require--
       (A) enhancing United States military capability and 
     capacity in Europe, including strong consideration of 
     investments in increased permanently-stationed and continued 
     rotational forces as well as the facilities and 
     infrastructure necessary to support United States presence 
     and training with its allies and partners; and
       (B) strengthening United States capability and capacity to 
     counter malign Russian influence, including Russian hybrid 
     warfare operations short of traditional armed conflict, 
     malicious Russian cyber activities, and Russia's use of 
     misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda;
       (3) investments that support the security and stability of 
     Europe, including the EDI, and support to European countries 
     in further developing their security capabilities, are in the 
     long-term national security interests of the United States, 
     and as such, funds for such efforts should be included in the 
     President's base budget request for the Department of Defense 
     in order to fully support United States combat capability in 
     Europe, facilitate efficient planning and execution, and 
     ensure budgetary transparency;
       (4) the United States should maintain an ironclad 
     commitment to its obligations under Article 5 of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty, which declares that an ``armed attack 
     against one or more [NATO allies] shall be considered an 
     attack against them all'';
       (5) while NATO allies have made progress toward high levels 
     of defense spending, it is important that all NATO allies 
     fulfill their commitments to levels and composition of 
     defense expenditures as agreed upon at the NATO 2014 Wales 
     Summit and NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit in order to uphold their 
     obligations under Article 3 of the North Atlantic Treaty to 
     ``maintain and develop their individual and collective 
     capacity to resist armed attack'';
       (6) NATO allies should continue to coordinate defense 
     investments to both improve deterrence against Russian 
     aggression and more appropriately balance defense spending 
     across the alliance; and
       (7) because the NATO alliance defends not only the common 
     security of the United States and its NATO allies, but our 
     common values as well, it is essential that all NATO allies 
     uphold their obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty to 
     ``safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilization of 
     their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, 
     individual liberty and the rule of law''.

     for fiscal year 2018 pursuant to subsection (f)(3)'';
       (B) in paragraph (2)--
       (i) in the first sentence, by striking ``, and potential

     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.
       (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

[[Page H8808]]

     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.

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

[[Page H8810]]

     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) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (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; and
       (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) Availability of Funds.--Of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2018 for research, 
     development, test, and evaluation, as specified in the 
     funding table in division D, $58,000,000 shall be made 
     available for the development of--
       (1) active defenses to counter ground-launched missile 
     systems with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers;
       (2) counterforce capabilities to prevent attacks from these 
     missiles; and
       (3) 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).
       (c) Development of INF Range Ground-launched Missile 
     System.--
       (1) 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, 
     including research and development activities with respect to 
     such cruise missile system.
       (2) Report required.--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 
     on the cost and schedule for, and feasibility of, modifying 
     United States missile systems in existence or planned as of 
     such date of enactment for ground launch with a range of 
     between 500 and 5,500 kilometers as compared with the cost 
     and schedule for, and feasibility of, developing a new 
     ground-launched missile using new technology with the same

     deterrence requirements in the Asia-Pacific region far into 
     the future.

       (b) Basis for Inclusion on List.--
       (1) Determination.--The Commander may place a contractor on 
     the watch list established under subsection (a) upon

     SEC. 1672. 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. 1689. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE STATE OF THE MISSILE 
                   DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Secretary of Defense should use the Ballistic 
     Missile Defense Review that commenced in 2017 to consider 
     accelerating the development of technologies that will 
     increase the capacity, capability, and reliability of the 
     ground-based midcourse defense element of the ballistic 
     missile defense system;
       (2) upon completion of the Ballistic Missile Defense 
     Review, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency should, to 
     the extent practicable and with sound acquisition practices, 
     accelerate the development, testing, and fielding of such 
     capabilities as they are prioritized in the Ballistic Missile 
     Defense Review, with respect to the redesigned kill vehicle, 
     the multi-object kill vehicle, the C3 booster, a space-based 
     sensor layer, boost phase sensor and kill technologies, and 
     additional ground-based interceptors; and
       (3) in order to achieve these objectives, and to avoid 
     post-production and post-deployment problems, it is essential 
     for the Department of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) at a minimum, the Missile Defense Agency should 
     continue to flight test the ground-based midcourse defense 
     element at least once each fiscal year;
       (2) the Department of Defense should allocate increased 
     funding to homeland missile defense testing to ensure that 
     the defenses of the United States continue to evolve faster 
     than the threats against which they are postured to defend, 
     while pursuing a sound acquisition practice;
       (3) in order to rapidly innovate, develop, and field new 
     technologies, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     should continue to focus testing campaigns on delivering 
     increased capabilities to the Armed Forces as quickly as 
     possible; and
       (4) the Director should seek to establish a more prudent 
     balance between risk mitigation and the more rapid testing 
     pace needed to quickly develop and deliver new capabilities 
     to the Armed Forces.

     SEC. 1714. REPORT ON UTILIZATION OF SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNS

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) since the passage of the Budget Control Act of 2011 
     (Public Law 112-25; 125 Stat. 240), many Federal agencies 
     have started favoring longer-term Federal contracts, 
     including multiple award contracts, over direct individual 
     awards;
       (2) these multiple award contracts have grown to more than 
     one-fifth of Federal contract spending, with the fastest 
     growing multiple award contracts each surpassing $100,000,000 
     in obligations for the first time between 2013 and 2014;
       (3) in fiscal year 2017, 17 of the 20 largest Federal 
     contract opportunities are multiple award contracts;
       (4) while Federal agencies may choose to use any or all of 
     the various socioeconomic groups on a multiple award 
     contract, the Small Business Administration only examines the 
     performance of socioeconomic groups through the small 
     business procurement scorecard and does not examine potential 
     opportunities for those groups; and
       (5) Congress and the Department of Justice have been clear 
     that no individual socioeconomic group shall be given 
     preference over another.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section--
       (1) the term ``Administrator'' means the Administrator of 
     the Small Business Administration;
       (2) the term ``covered small business concerns'' means--
       (A) qualified HUBZone small business concerns;
       (B) small business concerns owned and controlled by 
     service-disabled veterans;
       (C) small business concerns owned and controlled by women; 
     and
       (D) small business concerns owned and controlled by 
     socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, as 
     defined under section 8(d)(3)(C) of the Small Business Act 
     (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(3)(C)); and
       (3) the terms ``qualified HUBZone small business concern'', 
     ``small business concern'', ``small business concern owned 
     and controlled by service-disabled veterans'', and ``small 
     business concern owned and controlled by women'' have the 
     meanings given those terms in section 3 of the Small Business 
     Act (15 U.S.C. 632).
       (c) Report.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the 
     Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the 
     Senate and the Committee on Small Business of the House of 
     Representatives a report that includes--
       (A) a determination as to whether small business concerns 
     and each category of covered small business concern are being 
     utilized in a significant portion of the multiple award 
     contracts awarded by the Federal Government, including--
       (i) whether awards are reserved for concerns in 1 or more 
     of those categories; and
       (ii) whether concerns in each such category are given the 
     opportunity to perform on multiple award contracts;
       (B) a determination as to whether performance requirements 
     for multiple award contracts, as in effect on the day before 
     the date of enactment of this Act, are feasible and 
     appropriate for small business concerns and covered small 
     business concerns; and
       (C) any additional information as the Administrator may 
     determine necessary.
       (2) Requirement.--In making the determinations required 
     under paragraph (1), the Administrator shall use 
     information--
       (A) from multiple award contracts with varied assigned 
     North American Industry Classification System codes; and
       (B) about the awards of multiple award contracts from not 
     less than eight Federal agencies.

   Subtitle B--Program Authorizations, Restrictions, and Limitations

     SEC. 3111. NUCLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE 
                   MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE.

       (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) Infrastructure Modernization Initiative.--
       (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, to be known 
     as the ``Infrastructure Modernization Initiative'', 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))). In 
     carrying out that program, the Administrator shall establish 
     and execute infrastructure modernization milestones that 
     reduce the deferred maintenance and repair needs of the 
     nuclear security enterprise by not less than 30 percent by 
     2025.
       (2) Authorities.--
       (A) Process.--
       (i) In general.--The Secretary of Energy shall provide to 
     the Administrator a process that will enhance or streamline 
     the ability of the Administrator to carry out the program 
     under paragraph (1) in an efficient and effective manner, 
     including with respect to--

       (I) the demolition or construction of non-nuclear 
     facilities of the Administration that have a total estimated 
     project cost of less than $100,000,000; and
       (II) the decontamination, decommissioning, and demolition 
     (to be performed in accordance with applicable health and 
     safety standards used by the Defense Environmental Cleanup 
     Program) of process-contaminated facilities of the 
     Administration that have a total estimated project cost of 
     less than $50,000,000.

       (ii) Funding.--Clause (i) may be carried out using amounts 
     authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2018 or any 
     subsequent fiscal year.
       (B) Application of certain requirements.--For purposes of 
     the Management Procedures Memorandum 2015-01 of the Office of 
     Management and Budget, or a successor memorandum, in carrying 
     out the program under paragraph (1), the Administrator may--
       (i) perform new construction during a fiscal year that 
     differs from the fiscal year of corresponding facility 
     demolition;
       (ii) perform demolition of different facility category 
     codes and have that demolition credit count towards the 
     construction of new facilities with a different facility 
     category code; and
       (iii) have the net reduction in infrastructure footprint 
     for the five fiscal years prior to the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, and the demolition during the five fiscal years 
     following such date of enactment, considered as a factor for 
     the purpose of meeting the intent of such memorandum.
       (3) Initial plan.--Not later than March 1, 2018, the 
     Administrator shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees an initial plan to carry out the program under 
     paragraph (1) to achieve the goal specified in such 
     paragraph. Such plan shall include--
       (A) the funding required to carry out the program during 
     the period covered by the future-years nuclear security 
     program under section 3253 of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2453);
       (B) the criteria for selecting and prioritizing projects 
     within the program under paragraph (1);
       (C) mechanisms for ensuring the robust management and 
     oversight of such projects;
       (D) a description of the process provided to the 
     Administrator to carry out the program pursuant to paragraph 
     (2)(A); and
       (E) a description of any legislative actions the 
     Administrator recommends to further enhance or streamline 
     authorities or processes relating to the program.
       (4) Reassessment.--Not later than February 1, 2024, the 
     Administrator shall reassess the program under paragraph (1) 
     and, as appropriate, develop and establish goals for the 
     program beyond 2025.
       (c) Inclusion in Biennial Detailed Report.--Section 
     4203(d)(4) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 
     2523(d)(4)) is amended--
       (1) in subparagraph (B), by striking ``; and'' and 
     inserting a semicolon;
       (2) in subparagraph (C), by striking the period at the end 
     and inserting ``; and''; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
       ``(D)(i) a description of--
       ``(I) the metrics (based on industry best practices) used 
     by the Administrator to determine the infrastructure deferred 
     maintenance and repair needs of the nuclear security 
     enterprise; and
       ``(II) the percentage of replacement plant value being 
     spent on maintenance and repair needs of the nuclear security 
     enterprise; and
       ``(ii) an explanation of whether the annual spending on 
     such needs complies with the recommendation of the National 
     Research Council of the National Academies of Sciences, 
     Engineering, and Medicine that such spending be in an amount 
     equal to four percent of the replacement plant value, and, if 
     not, the reasons for such noncompliance and a plan for how 
     the Administrator will ensure facilities of the nuclear 
     security enterprise are being properly sustained.''.
       (d) Requirements Relating to Critical Decisions.--
       (1) In general.--Subtitle A of title XLVII of the Atomic 
     Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2741 et seq.) is amended by

     carried out under Department of Energy Order 413.3B (relating 
     to program management and project management for the 
     acquisition of capital assets), or a successor order, 
     achieves critical decision 2, the Administrator may not 
     change the requirements for such project if such change 
     increases the cost of such project by more than the lesser of 
     $5,000,000 or 15 percent, unless--
       ``(1) the Administrator submits to the congressional 
     defense committees--
       ``(A) a certification that the Administrator, without 
     delegation, authorizes such proposed change; and
       ``(B) a cost-benefit and risk analysis of such proposed 
     change, including with respect to--

     backbone of the enterprise, are a central component of the 
     nuclear deterrent of the United States;
       (2) if left unaddressed, the state of the infrastructure 
     within the nuclear security enterprise represents a direct, 
     long-term threat to the credibility of the nuclear deterrent 
     of the United States;
       (3) both Congress and the President must take strong, 
     sustained action to recapitalize and repair this 
     infrastructure;
       (4) the Administrator must continue to carry out 
     expeditious demolition of old facilities of the 
     Administration to reduce long-term costs and improve safety; 
     and
       (5) each budget of the President submitted to Congress 
     under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, for 
     fiscal year 2019 and each fiscal year thereafter should 
     include funding in an amount sufficient to carry out the 
     program established pursuant to subsection (b)(1) to achieve 
     the goal specified in such subsection.

       Section 3125 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2766) is 
     amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsection (d) as subsection (f); and
       (2) by inserting after subsection (c) the following new

     SEC. 3118. NUCLEAR WARHEAD 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 to the following before the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives:
       (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.''.

[[Page H8873]]

       (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 Committee on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives regarding a December 
     2016 Defense Science Board report entitled, ``Seven Defense 
     Priorities for the New Administration'', members of that 
     Board said the following:
       (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 the following:
       (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 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 as the Administrator and the 
     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 countries 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, shall 
     provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees 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.

     SEC. 3136. PLAN FOR VERIFICATION, DETECTION, AND MONITORING 
                   OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND FISSILE MATERIAL.

       (a) Findings and Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (A) A January 2014 Defense Science Board report found that 
     ``The nuclear future will not be a linear extrapolation of 
     the past... [and] [t]he technologies and processes designed 
     for current treaty verification and inspections are 
     inadequate to future monitoring realities.''.
       (B) Section 3133 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-291; 127 Stat. 3896) required an 
     interagency plan for monitoring of nuclear weapons and 
     fissile material, and section 3132 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 
     130 Stat. 2768) required an update of such plan. In both 
     instances, the reports submitted failed to answer the 
     congressional requirements, and instead provided only a brief 
     summary of the National Security Council structure and 
     processes.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     verification, detection, and monitoring of nuclear weapons 
     and fissile material should be a priority for national 
     security, and that the reports submitted to date do not 
     reflect this priority, or the current and planned initiatives 
     related to nuclear verification and detection.
       (b) Plan.--The President, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary 
     of Energy, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the 
     Director of National Intelligence, shall develop a plan for 
     verification and monitoring relating to the potential 
     proliferation of nuclear weapons, components of such weapons, 
     and fissile material.
       (c) Elements.--The plan developed under subsection (b) 
     shall include the following:
       (1) A plan and road map for verification, detection, and 
     monitoring, with respect to policy, operations, and research, 
     development, testing, and evaluation, including--
       (A) identifying requirements for such verification, 
     detection, and monitoring;
       (B) costs and funding requirements over 10 years for such 
     verification, detection, and monitoring; and
       (C) identifying and integrating roles, responsibilities, 
     and planning for such verification, detection, and 
     monitoring.
       (2) A detailed international engagement plan for building 
     cooperation and transparency, including bilateral and 
     multilateral efforts, to improve inspections, detection, and 
     monitoring.
       (3) A detailed description of--
       (A) current and planned research and development efforts to 
     improve monitoring, detection, and in-field inspection and 
     analysis capabilities, including persistent surveillance, 
     remote monitoring, and rapid analysis of large data sets, 
     including open-source data; and
       (B) measures to coordinate technical and operational 
     requirements early in the process.
       (4) Engagement of relevant departments and agencies of the 
     Federal Government and the military departments (including 
     the Open Source Center and the United States Atomic Energy 
     Detection System), national laboratories, industry, and 
     academia.
       (d) Designation of DOE.--The President shall designate the 
     Department of Energy as the lead agency for development of 
     the plan under subsection (b).
       (e) Briefing.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy, acting 
     through the Administrator for Nuclear Security, shall provide 
     to the appropriate congressional committees an interim 
     briefing on the plan under subsection (b).
       (f) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2018 
     for the Department of Defense for supporting the Executive 
     Office of the President, $10,000,000 may not be obligated or 
     expended until the date on which the President submits to the 
     appropriate congressional committees the plan under 
     subsection (g)(1).
       (g) Submission.--
       (1) Deadline.--Not later than April 15, 2018, the President 
     shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees the 
     plan developed under subsection (b).
       (2) Form.--The plan under subsection (b) shall be submitted 
     in unclassified form, but, consistent with the protection of 
     intelligence sources and methods, may include a classified 
     annex.
       (h) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this 
     section, the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
     means the following:
       (1) The congressional defense committees.
       (2) The Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and 
     the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House 
     of Representatives.
       (3) The Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and 
     the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives.

     of the House of Representatives.
       (5) The Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation 
     of the Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the 
     House of Representatives.

     exposure devices, or the sabotage of nuclear facilities.
       (b) Review.--The assessment conducted under subsection (a) 
     shall address the adequacy of the strategies of the United 
     States described in that subsection and identify technical, 
     policy, and resource gaps with respect to--
       (1) identifying national and international nuclear and 
     radiological terrorism risks and critical emerging threats;
       (2) preventing state-sponsored actors and non-state actors 
     from acquiring the technologies, materials, and critical 
     expertise needed to mount nuclear or radiological attacks, 
     including dual-use technologies, materials, and expertise;
       (3) countering efforts by state-sponsored actors and non-
     state actors to mount such attacks;
       (4) responding to nuclear and radiological terrorism 
     incidents to attribute their origin and help manage their 
     consequences; and
       (5) other important matters identified by JASON that are 
     directly relevant to those strategies.
       (c) Recommendations.--The assessment conducted under 
     subsection (a) shall include recommendations to the Secretary 
     of Energy, Congress, and such other Federal entities as JASON 
     considers appropriate, for preventing, countering, and 
     responding to nuclear and radiological terrorism, including 
     recommendations for--
       (1) closing technical, policy, or resource gaps;
       (2) improving cooperation and appropriate integration among 
     Federal entities and Federal, State, and tribal governments;
       (3) improving cooperation between the United States and 
     other countries and international organizations; and
       (4) other important matters identified by JASON that are 
     directly relevant to the strategies of the United States 
     described in subsection (a).

[[Page H8876]]

     process, and contractors provide the best outcomes to the 
     Federal Government with respect to performance, cost, 
     efficiency, and effectiveness.
       (B) An assessment of the total costs, for each national 
     security laboratory, that are incurred because of using a 
     for-profit model for the management and operating contract 
     that would not be incurred under a nonprofit model, and 
     whether performance, costs, efficiency, and effectiveness 
     would be expected to increase or decrease under a nonprofit 
     model.
       (C) An assessment of whether the Administrator is 
     appropriately using, managing, and overseeing the national 
     security laboratories with respect to the nature of the 
     laboratories as federally funded research and development 
     centers.

                       Subtitle D--Other Matters

     SEC. 3151. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING COMPENSATION OF 
                   INDIVIDUALS RELATING TO URANIUM MINING AND 
                   NUCLEAR TESTING.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (42 U.S.C. 2210 
     note) was enacted in 1990 to provide monetary compensation to 
     individuals who contracted certain cancers and other serious 
     diseases following their exposure to radiation released 
     during atmospheric nuclear weapons testing during the Cold 
     War or following exposure to radiation as a result of 
     employment in the uranium industry during the Cold War.
       (2) The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation 
     Program Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq.) formally 
     acknowledged the dangers to which some employees of sites of 
     the Department of Energy and its vendors during the Cold War 
     were exposed. That Act also acknowledged that, although 
     establishing the link between occupational hazards and 
     specific diseases can be difficult, scientific evidence 
     exists to support the conclusion that some activities related 
     to Cold War nuclear weapons production have resulted in 
     increased risk of illness and death to workers. That Act 
     established a formal process for the submission of claims for 
     medical expenses and lump sum compensation for former 
     employees and contractors and survivors of those former 
     employees and contractors.
       (3) As of the date of the enactment of this Act, more than 
     145,775 claims have been paid out under the Radiation 
     Exposure Compensation Act and the Energy Employees 
     Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000, for a 
     total of at least $16,400,000,000 in lump sum compensation 
     and medical expenses.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States Government should appropriately compensate 
     and recognize the employees, contractors, and other 
     individuals described in subsection (a).

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2810), to authorize 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2018 for military activities 
     of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and 
     for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to 
     prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, 
     and for other purposes, submit the following joint statement 
     to the House and the Senate in explanation of the effect of 
     the action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
     accompanying conference report:
       The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after the 
     enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of 
     the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between 
     the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute 
     agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical 
     corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements 
     reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying 
     changes.
     Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and 
         Senate regarding earmarks and congressionally directed 
         spending items
       Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
     of Representatives and Rule XLIV(3) of the Standing Rules of 
     the Senate, neither this conference report nor the 
     accompanying joint statement of managers contains any 
     congressional earmarks, congressionally directed spending 
     items, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits, as 
     defined in such rules.
     Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget authority 
         implication
       The budget request for national defense discretionary 
     programs within the jurisdiction of the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives for 
     fiscal year 2018 was $665.7 billion. Of this amount, $579.3 
     billion was requested for base Department of Defense 
     programs, $65.8 billion was requested for overseas 
     contingency operations, $20.5 billion was requested for 
     national security programs in the Department of Energy and 
     the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and $210.0 
     million for defense-related activities. The total request of 
     $665.7 billion also includes the additional amounts from the 
     November 2017 budget amendment.
       The conference agreement would authorize $692.1 billion in 
     fiscal year 2018, including $605.5 billion for base 
     Department of Defense programs, $65.7 billion for overseas 
     contingency operations, $20.6 billion for national security 
     programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear 
     Facilities Safety Board and $300.0 million for defense-
     related activities.
       The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments 
     in Division D of the accompanying joint statement of managers 
     summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement 
     and the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 
     2018 defense programs.
     Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 4) that 
     would require that the budgetary effects of this Act be 
     determined in accordance with the procedures established in 
     the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (title I of Public 
     Law 111-139).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          Title I--Procurement


                              BUDGET ITEMS

     Virginia-class submarine advanced procurement
       The budget request included $1.9 billion in line item 5 of 
     Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for Virginia-class 
     submarine advance procurement.
       The House bill would authorize an increase of $943.0 
     million above the request.
       The Senate amendment would authorize an increase of $1.2 
     billion above the request.
       The agreement authorizes an increase of $698.0 million 
     above the request.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to use this 
     increase for: (1) procurement of a third Virginia-class 
     submarine in fiscal year 2020; (2) economic order quantity 
     for the fiscal year 2019 through 2023 multiyear Virginia-
     class submarine procurement; or (3) to expand second and 
     third tier contractors in the submarine industrial base to 
     support planned increased production requirements.
       If the Secretary pursues option (3), the Secretary shall 
     notify the congressional defense committees within 30 days of 
     obligating funds for such purpose of the: obligation date, 
     contractor name or names, location, description of the 
     shortfall to be addressed, actions to be undertaken, desired 
     end state, usable end items to be procured, period of 
     performance, dollar amount, projected associated savings 
     including business case analysis if applicable, contract 
     name, and contract number.
       The conferees believe that utilizing greater economic order 
     quantity procurement, procuring an additional submarine, or 
     expanding the capabilities of the supplier base should lead 
     to greater cost savings and improved efficiency as production 
     increases to meet the Columbia-class schedule and higher 
     requirement for attack submarines in the Navy's latest Force 
     Structure Assessment.

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

     Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) that would 
     authorize the appropriations for procurement activities at 
     the levels identified in section 4101 of division D of this 
     Act.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     101).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

                       Subtitle B--Army Programs

     Authority to expedite procurement of 7.62mm rifles (sec. 111)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10101) 
     that would authorize the Secretary of the Army to expedite 
     acquiring a commercially available off-the-shelf item, non-
     developmental item, or Government-off-the-shelf materiel 
     solution for a 7.62mm rifle capability.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary of the Army to expedite procurement under full 
     and open competition, to the maximum practicable, of up to 
     7,000 7.62mm rifles, ammunition, and related equipment given 
     emerging threats. The House amendment would also require the 
     Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the congressional 
     defense committees before entering into a contract, should 
     the Secretary of the Army decide to exercise existing sole 
     source authority to procure up to 7,000 7.62mm rifles. 
     Additionally, the House amendment stipulates that any 
     contract awarded shall be awarded through a full and open 
     competition for the next generation squad weapon program.
       The conferees expect the Secretary of the Army to allow for 
     sufficient time for the congressional defense committees to 
     review the findings from the required report before entering 
     into a contract for a 7.62mm rifle. Further, the conferees 
     expect the Secretary of the Army, in consultation with the 
     Chief of Staff of the Army, to develop options for 
     accelerating the next generation squad weapon system given 
     current and emerging threats.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Increment 2 of the 
         Warfighter Information Network-Tactical program (sec. 
         112)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees by January 30, 2018, 
     detailing potential options for the acceleration of 
     procurement and fielding of the Warfighter Information 
     Network-Tactical Increment 2 program.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 112) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to report to the 
     congressional defense committees detailing how the Army 
     intends to implement the recommendations of the Director of 
     Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) for the Army's 
     Air-Land Mobile Tactical Communications and Data Network to 
     include the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) 
     program. The provision would also prohibit the Secretary of 
     the Army from obligating any funds available in Other 
     Procurement, Army for the WIN-T, Increment 2 (Inc 2) program 
     subject to the submission of the Army's report.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     not more than 50 percent of fiscal year 2018 funds to enter 
     into, or to prepare to enter into, a contract until the Army 
     submits a report detailing their tactical network 
     modernization strategy to include reporting elements from 
     both the House and Senate provisions. The amendment would 
     also require the Army to include as part of this report 
     detailed budget justification for this strategy.
       The conferees are concerned about the continued 
     suitability, effectiveness, security, and survivability of 
     all aspects of the Army Air-Land Mobile Tactical 
     Communications and Data Networks to include WIN-T given 
     demonstrated threat capabilities of peer adversaries in 
     electronic warfare attack, electronic reconnaissance, and 
     massed fire strikes.
       The conferees continue to encourage the Army to repair 
     identified problems and to more carefully redefine its 
     requirements for the tactical network. The conferees 
     encourage the Army to leverage its new acquisition 
     authorities to seek non-developmental technologies when 
     practicable to repair and improve the legacy network. This 
     effort is key given investments to date.
     Limitation on availability of funds for upgrade of M113 
         vehicles (sec. 113)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5102) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report setting forth the 
     strategy of the Army for the upgrade of M113 vehicles before 
     available funds are obligated or expended.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     not more than 50 percent of available FY18 funds to be 
     obligated or expended for the upgrade of Army M113 vehicles 
     until the Secretary of the Army submits its report to the 
     congressional defense committees.

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs

     Aircraft carriers (sec. 121)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would 
     express the sense of Congress on matters related to aircraft 
     carriers, require 12 operational aircraft carriers by 
     September 2023, eliminate the requirement to conduct full 
     ship shock trials on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), and 
     provide economic order quantity procurement authorities.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     125).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide the 
     Secretary of Defense with the ability to waive the 
     requirement to conduct full ship shock trials on the USS 
     Gerald R. Ford, adjust the cost limitation baseline for the 
     future USS Enterprise (CVN-80) and follow-on aircraft 
     carriers to $12.6 billion, and remove the authorities to use 
     economic order quantity procurement.
       The conferees recognize cost savings and industrial base 
     efficiencies could be achieved through additional legislative 
     authorities, such as accelerating the construction rate of 
     aircraft carriers and providing economic order quantity 
     procurement of components, during construction of Ford-class 
     aircraft carriers and refueling and complex overhauls of 
     Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
       Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy 
     to evaluate additional potential legislative authorities for 
     these programs and, if appropriate, submit legislative 
     proposals with the associated analysis, revised funding 
     profiles and cost estimates as part of the President's budget 
     request for Fiscal Year 2019.
        The conferees understand the current cost estimate for the 
     Enterprise (CVN-80) is $12.6 billion, which is a $1.9 billion 
     reduction relative to CVN-78 after accounting for inflation. 
     The conferees believe additional cost savings are possible 
     through economic order quantity procurement, ``design for 
     affordability'' initiatives, Ford-class learning curve, CVN-
     80 repeating the design of CVN-79, production and engineering 
     man hour reductions, and increased competition. The conferees 
     encourage the Navy to explore these options to identify 
     additional cost savings.
     Icebreaker vessel (sec. 122)
       The House bill contained provisions (sec. 122, 123, and 
     1012) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to act 
     as a general agent for the Secretary of the Department in 
     which the Coast Guard is operating and enter into a contract 
     for icebreaker vessels; prohibit funds for the Department of 
     Defense from being used for the procurement of an icebreaker 
     vessel; and amend section 2218 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to authorize funds associated with the National Defense 
     Sealift Fund for the construction of icebreaker vessels.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1048).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     one polar-class heavy icebreaker vessel, prohibit funds for 
     the Department of Defense from being used for the procurement 
     of an icebreaker vessel other than this one polar-class heavy 
     icebreaker vessel, clarify contracting authorities, and 
     require a Comptroller General report.
       The conferees recognize the national importance of 
     recapitalizing the U.S. icebreaker fleet and the 
     extraordinary circumstances that necessitated use of 
     Department of Defense funding to procure the first polar-
     class heavy icebreaker, as partially provided in the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 
     2017. Accordingly, the conferees support the authorization of 
     this icebreaker in this Act.

[[Page H8948]]

       The conferees note the Undersecretary of Management in the 
     Department of Homeland Security (DHS) serves as the 
     Acquisition Decision Authority for the Polar Icebreaker 
     Program and that this program is governed in accordance with 
     DHS Acquisition Management Directive 102-01 and Instruction 
     102-01-001.
       The conferees believe maintaining clear lines of authority, 
     responsibility, accountability, and resources with the 
     Secretary and Acquisition Decision Authority of the 
     department in which the U.S. Coast Guard is operating are 
     essential to delivering icebreakers on cost and schedule.
       Accordingly, the conferees believe the Secretary of the 
     Department of Homeland Security and the Undersecretary of 
     Management in the DHS should be the officials provided with 
     authorities and resources related to the Polar Icebreaker 
     Program.
       Therefore, the conferees expect subsequent icebreakers to 
     be authorized by the congressional committees with 
     jurisdiction over the Coast Guard and funded using Coast 
     Guard appropriations.
     Multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh Burke class 
         destroyers (sec. 123)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or more 
     multiyear contracts for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and 
     associated systems, in accordance with section 2306b of title 
     10, United States Code. The provision would also include a 
     limitation on funds associated with section 2435 of title 10, 
     United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     122).
        The House recedes with an amendment that would remove 
     requirements related to contract award timing and the 
     additional Arleigh Burke-class destroyer provided in section 
     125(a)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The amendment would 
     also prohibit contract modifications resulting in an increase 
     of more than 10 percent to the original target price of a 
     destroyer awarded under the authority provided by this 
     section.
       The conferees note this would be the fourth multiyear 
     contract for the Arleigh Burke-class program. The Navy 
     estimates that each of the previous three multiyear 
     procurement contracts (fiscal years 1998-2001, 2002-2005, and 
     2013-2017) achieved savings of greater than $1.0 billion, as 
     compared to annual procurements. For the fourth contract for 
     fiscal years 2018-2022, the Navy is estimating savings of 9.3 
     percent, or in excess of $1.8 billion, for the multiyear 
     procurement of 10 ships as compared to annual procurement 
     contracts.
     Multiyear procurement authority for Virginia class submarine 
         program (sec. 124)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 124) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or more 
     multiyear contracts for Virginia-class submarines, in 
     accordance with section 2306b of title 10, United States 
     Code. The provision would also include a limitation on funds 
     associated with section 2435 of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     121).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     contract modifications resulting in an increase of more than 
     10 percent to the original target price of a submarine 
     awarded under the authority provided by this section.
       The conferees note this would be the fourth multiyear 
     contract for the Virginia-class program. The Navy estimates 
     that the previous three multiyear procurement contracts 
     (fiscal years 2003-2008, 2009-2013, and 2014-2018) achieved 
     savings of greater than 10 percent, as compared to annual 
     procurements. For the fourth contract for fiscal years 2019-
     2023, the Navy is estimating savings of 14 percent, or in 
     excess of $5.0 billion, for the multiyear procurement of 10 
     ships as compared to annual procurement contracts.
     Design and construction of the lead ship of the amphibious 
         ship replacement designated LX(R) or amphibious transport 
         dock designated LPD-30 (sec. 125)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 124) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into and 
     incrementally fund a contract for design and construction of 
     the amphibious ship replacement designated LX(R) or the 
     amphibious transport dock designated LPD-30.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Multiyear procurement authority for V-22 Osprey aircraft 
         (sec. 126)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 128) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into multiyear 
     contracts for V-22 procurement and an upgrade program for up 
     to 7 years.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     123) that would authorize the Secretary to sign a multiyear 
     contract for V-22, but only for a period of up to 5 years.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that authorizing multiyear contracts for 
     7 years represents a significant exception to the more common 
     practice of 5-year multiyear contracts. This exception 
     reflects the unique realities of the V-22 procurement program 
     rather than a shift in congressional practice. Furthermore, 
     the conferees expect the services to honor and fully fund 
     their multiyear commitments in future fiscal year budget 
     requests.
     Extension of limitation on use of sole-source shipbuilding 
         contracts for certain vessels (sec. 127)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 126) that 
     would extend to include fiscal year 2018 the prohibition on 
     funds from being used to enter into, or prepare to enter 
     into, sole source contracts for one or more Joint High Speed 
     Vessels (JHSV) or Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPF), unless 
     the Secretary of the Navy submits to the congressional 
     defense committees a certification and a report.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for the enhanced multi-
         mission parachute system (sec. 128)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 129) that would 
     prohibit the use of funds for the Enhanced Multi-Mission 
     Parachute System (E-MMPS) until the Secretary of the Navy 
     submits to the congressional defense committees a 
     certification and report on the E-MMPS' ability to meet 
     Marine Corps operational needs and safety standards.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     127) but did not prohibit the use of funds for the E-MMPS 
     program.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
     requirement for certification and reporting described above 
     but would only prohibit use of 20 percent of the funding 
     authorized to be appropriated for the E-MMPS.
     Report on Navy capacity to increase production of certain 
         rotary wing aircraft (sec. 129)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1074) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on the capacity of the 
     United States Navy to increase production of anti-submarine 
     warfare and combat search and rescue rotary wing aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                     Subtitle D--Air Force Programs

     Inventory requirement for Air Force fighter aircraft (sec. 
         131)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 131) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to maintain a 
     minimum total active inventory of 1,970 fighter aircraft and 
     1,145 primary mission fighter aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add a sunset 
     to the provision and remove subsection (c) Reports on Fighter 
     Aircraft.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of E-8 
         JSTARS aircraft (sec. 132)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 135) that 
     would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds to 
     retire, or prepare to retire, any E-8 Joint Surveillance 
     Target Attack Radar System aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Requirement for continuation of JSTARS aircraft 
         recapitalization program (sec. 133)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 134) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to 
     Congress if the Secretary of the Air Force were to propose in 
     a budget request to cancel or modify the E-8C Joint 
     Surveillance Targeting and Reconnaissance System (JSTARS) 
     recapitalization program as presented to Congress in May 
     2017.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     certain elements of the required report.
       The conferees are concerned by the Air Force's reassessment 
     of its current, validated JSTARS recapitalization program. 
     The acquisition program is currently in source selection and 
     reconsideration at this late stage injects disruption and 
     uncertainty into the process of updating and enhancing a 
     vital combat capability that Congress has repeatedly urged 
     the Air Force to accelerate. The conferees do not currently 
     understand what has changed to refute the written and oral 
     testimony the current Commander of Air Combat Command and the 
     current Chief of Staff of the Air Force have given to 
     Congress over the last two years.
       General Holmes, the current commander of Air Combat 
     Command, testified in March 2015, before the House Armed 
     Services Committee's Tactical Air and Land subcommittee that 
     ``[b]ased on the results of the Airborne SAR/MTI [Synthetic 
     Aperture Radar/Moving Target Indicator] JSTARS Mission Area 
     AoA [Analysis of Alternatives] in 2011, the Air Force has 
     begun a JSTARS Recapitalization (Recap) effort. The JSTARS 
     Recap seeks to replace the legacy E-8C with affordable 
     commercially available aircraft, reducing operation and 
     sustainment costs by 27 percent compared to the E-8C. The new 
     platform will reduce the logistics footprint and improve 
     operational capability with an advanced ground surveillance 
     radar and on-board battle management suite. JSTARS Recap will 
     continue to provide a unique blend of on-board Battle 
     Management Command and Control and ISR [intelligence 
     capabilities that enable the central tenet of

[[Page H8949]]

     Air Forces doctrine `Centralized Control and Decentralized 
     Execution.'] The capability to perform this dual mission at 
     the tactical edge provides C2 mission assurance in a 
     contested environment. The USAF is fully committed to the 
     JSTARS mission. The E-8C and JSTARS Recap acquisition are 
     fully funded in the FYDP [Future Years Defense Program].''
       Additionally, General Holmes testified in March 2016, to 
     the Senate Armed Services Committee's Airland subcommittee 
     that ``[w]e hope that our JSTARS recapitalization program can 
     provide a model for recapitalizing the rest of what we're 
     doing now with the wide-body aircraft fleet and a way to 
     bring the radar, the air-battle management, and an airframe 
     together in a way that's cheaper to be able to continue to do 
     those missions.''
       General Goldfein, the current Air Force Chief of Staff, 
     testified in February 2016, before the House Armed Services 
     Committee that ``[t]he Chief of Staff of the Air Force went 
     out to every combatant commander to re-validate individually 
     the requirement for airborne battle management as a critical 
     component of their war plans. That was validated across all 
     the combatant commanders . . . [a]s the [former] air 
     component commander for Central Command, I will tell you that 
     I used that platform in a number of ways, in addition to what 
     is traditionally considered, you know, airborne battle 
     management of the air-ground fight. I used it in the maritime 
     domain covering the Straits of Hormuz. So first and foremost, 
     we validated that airborne battle management is a critical 
     requirement from the combatant commanders and we need to move 
     out on that. Now the challenge becomes a technology 
     discussion, which is at what point do we transition and can 
     we transition this to an unmanned platform of the future, 
     versus a man[ned] platform. And the reality is that 
     technology that we would need to put on an unmanned platform 
     doesn't currently exist to get the same capability that we 
     provide the combatant commanders today. It's just not 
     miniaturized enough. It just can't give the same level of 
     fidelity of the ground moving target indicator that the 
     JSTARS does today. So the Air Force's position for two 
     reasons. One, we don't have the technology to put it on a 
     manned platform, and two, airborne battle management is a 
     critical requirement. We need to push forward with a manned 
     airborne platform. We have the funding in this budget to do 
     that.''
       The conferees look forward to hearing how the Air Force 
     intends to provide the vitally important capabilities of 
     airborne battle management, command and control, 
     intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance that the 
     current E-8 JSTARS provides our combatant commanders. Until 
     then, the conferees expect the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     not take any actions that would adversely affect the JSTARS 
     Recap program.
     Limitation on selection of single contractor for C-130H 
         avionics modernization program increment 2 (sec. 134)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 132) that would 
     prohibit the Department of the Air Force from selecting a 
     single contractor for the C-130H Avionics Modernization 
     Program Increment 2 until the Secretary of the Air Force 
     certifies that every opportunity will be taken to make use of 
     commercial-off-the-shelf technology solutions and non-
     developmental items and that excessively restrictive military 
     specification standards were not used as criteria to restrict 
     or eliminate fair and open competition.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for EC-130H Compass Call 
         recapitalization program (sec. 135)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 133) that would 
     prohibit the obligation and expenditure of funds for the EC-
     130H Compass Call recapitalization program until 30 days 
     after the Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology and 
     Logistics certifies to the congressional defense committees 
     that the Under Secretary has reviewed the acquisition 
     strategy and has determined that it meets all applicable 
     laws, guidelines and best practices.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would only limit 
     the obligation of funds.
       The conferees note that Congress supported the Air Force's 
     request in 2016 to re-host the primary mission equipment of 
     the current EC-130H aircraft on a more operationally 
     effective and survivable airborne platform to meet combatant 
     commander requirements. The conferees continue to support 
     that decision.
       However, the conferees are concerned with the Air Force's 
     decision to contract with a third-party contractor who will 
     perform both the selection of the aircraft as well as the 
     integration of the re-host equipment. The Air Force will 
     contract for all of the re-hosting effort through the 645th 
     Aeronautical Systems Group, also known as Big Safari. While 
     the conferees acknowledge that Big Safari has provided great 
     value in the past and is an essential tool in providing rapid 
     capability to the warfighter, they believe that the size and 
     scope of the Compass Call re-host program exceeds what is 
     appropriate for Big Safari.
       Further, the conferees are concerned that the Air Force is 
     increasingly using the unique and flexible authorities 
     allowed within Big Safari in a manner that is not consistent 
     with its key tenets. While the conferees believe that Big 
     Safari is an efficient tool to integrate equipment on 
     existing platforms, the conferees believe that the selection 
     of the airframe in the projected quantities is an inherently 
     governmental function that should not have been outsourced to 
     Big Safari or a third-party contractor.
       Additionally, the conferees were unimpressed with Air 
     Force's assertion that the basis of the acquisition was an 
     urgent and compelling justification, combined with a meager 
     Compass Call recapitalization plan of one aircraft a year.
       The conferees expect the Air Force to: (1) exercise better 
     judgement in the future in using Big Safari program 
     authorities; (2) pursue a full and open competition strategy 
     for selecting contractor teams for future airframe 
     modernization efforts; and (3) avoid utilizing selection of a 
     third-party contractor to circumvent acquisition best 
     practices.
     Limitation on retirement of U-2 and RQ-4 aircraft (sec. 136)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1034) that would 
     repeal section 133 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) regarding limitation 
     on retirement of U-2 aircraft and would prohibit the 
     Department of Defense from retiring either the U-2 or RQ-4 
     aircraft until at least fiscal year 2024.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would condition 
     replacement of either high-altitude intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft by 
     integrating into the baseline text of section 133 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (P.L. 
     112-81) the same divestment criteria for the RQ-4 that 
     currently applies to the U-2.
       The conferees note that both aircraft are considered high-
     demand/low-density ISR capabilities that are essential for 
     contributing to combatant commanders' high-altitude ISR 
     requirements and should remain in the Air Force inventory 
     until a suitable replacement can be developed that: meets or 
     exceeds current high-altitude ISR capabilities; does not 
     result in a reduction of current high-altitude ISR capacity; 
     and, would not result in increased operational and support 
     costs unless the increased capability is justified by the 
     Secretary of Defense's analysis. Finally, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the 
     congressional defense committees by February 15, 2018, a 10-
     year aircraft, aircraft sub-system(s), and aircraft sensor 
     modernization and sustainment plan for both the U-2 and the 
     RQ-4.
     Cost-benefit analysis of upgrades to MQ-9 Reaper aircraft 
         (sec. 137)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 134) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of the Air Force, to conduct a cost-benefit 
     analysis that compares upgrading MQ-9 Reaper aircraft to a 
     Block 5 configuration to procurement of MQ-9B aircraft 
     instead.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Plan for modernization of the radar for F-16 fighter aircraft 
         of the National Guard (sec. 138)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5101) that 
     would direct the Secretary of the Air Force to develop, and 
     provide a report on, a plan to modernize the radars of F-16 
     fighter aircraft of the National Guard.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Comptroller General review of Air Force fielding plan for HH-
         60 replacement programs (sec. 139)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 132) that 
     would direct the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     review the Air Force's plan for fielding HH-60 helicopter 
     replacement programs.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

       Subtitle E--Defense-Wide, Joint, and Multiservice Matters

     F-35 economic order quantity contracting authority (sec. 141)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into contracts 
     for economic order quantities of material and equipment for 
     the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program once the Secretary 
     certifies the contract meets certain conditions.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     141) that would also require the completion of a cost 
     analysis performed by the Director of Cost Assessment and 
     Program Evaluation (CAPE) prior to the authority being 
     exercised.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would allow CAPE 
     until March 1, 2018 to complete their cost analysis.
       The conferees believe a March 1, 2018 deadline allows 
     sufficient time for CAPE to complete their analysis. However, 
     should more time be needed, the conferees expect to receive 
     an update on CAPE's preliminary findings in advance of a 
     final report.

     Authority for explosive ordnance disposal units to acquire 
         new or emerging technologies and capabilities (sec. 142)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 142) that 
     would permit the Secretary of Defense to provide Explosive 
     Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units with the authority to acquire 
     new or emerging EOD technologies and capabilities not listed 
     in the Table of Allowance or Table of Equipment.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to consult with the military service 
     chiefs prior to permitting the authority.
     Requirement that certain aircraft and unmanned aerial 
         vehicles use specified standard data link (sec. 143)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that would 
     amend section 157 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Reinstatement of requirement to preserve certain C-5 
         aircraft; mobility capability and requirements study 
         (sec. 144)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 143) that would 
     reinstate the requirement for the Secretary of the Air Force 
     to continue to preserve certain C-5 aircraft in a storage 
     condition that would allow a recall of retired aircraft to 
     future service.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     number of aircraft required to be kept in the requisite 
     condition, remove the condition that the aircraft are kept in 
     a flyable condition and add a sunset to the provision 30 days 
     after the congressional defense committees receive the 
     Mobility Capability Requirements Study due to be completed 30 
     September 2018 as outlined on p. 32 of House report 
     accompanying H.R. 2810 (H. Rept. 115-200) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Limitation on availability of funds for Arleigh Burke class 
         destroyer
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 126) that would 
     limit the obligation of certain funds to procure new air and 
     missile defense radars for Arleigh Burke class destroyers 
     unless the radars are AN/SPY-6(V) radar modular assembly 
     (RMA) based.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extensions of authorities relating to construction of certain 
         vessels
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 127) that would 
     extend incremental funding authorities for Ford-class 
     aircraft carriers and LHA replacement ships.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Streamlining acquisition of intercontinental ballistic 
         missile security capability
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 131) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive any provision of 
     law requiring the use of competitive procedures for the 
     procurement of a UH-1N helicopter replacement and enter into 
     a contract for the procurement on a sole-source basis.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Secretary of the Air Force 
     submitted a report to Congress on September 25, 2014, that 
     stated the UH-1N was not effective in accomplishing its 
     assigned missions. The conferees also note that 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 stated, ``We will not meet the 
     emergency security response with the present helicopter.'' 
     Finally, the conferees note that at a hearing before the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, the Commander of 
     the United States Strategic Command stated, ``We ought to be 
     able to go out and buy a helicopter and put it in the hands 
     of people who need it. And we should be able to do that 
     quickly.''
       The conferees note that the Air Force has the authority to 
     procure helicopters under an existing U.S. Army multi-year 
     procurement contract under the Economy Act of 1932 (31 U.S.C. 
     1535 and 1536). The conferees have previously urged the 
     Secretary of the Air Force to consider using this authority 
     as the most prudent method to rapidly field the necessary 
     capability, but the Department of Defense and the Air Force 
     have said that, by taking certain mitigating steps, there 
     would be time to implement an acquisition strategy for 
     replacing the UH-1Ns using competition.
       The Air Force is executing that competition strategy, has 
     received bids, and is currently in the source selection 
     process, despite an additional delay caused by the decision 
     of the Air Force to re-issue the draft request in April of 
     2017. The conferees: (1) urge the Air Force to examine 
     approaches to expedite the UH-1N replacement program, and to 
     make sure there is no delay in awarding a contract award to 
     begin this modernization program as soon as possible to meet 
     urgent security needs; (2) expect that the Air Force will 
     maintain the current schedule and have this program under 
     contract in fiscal year 2018 as the acting Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics certified 
     to the congressional defense committees on February 8, 2017; 
     and (3) direct the Secretary of the Air Force to notify the 
     congressional defense committees promptly should the 
     Secretary discover that there is likely to be any delay 
     beyond the current schedule. Such notification shall include 
     options for changing the acquisition program to enable the 
     Air Force to meet the previous schedule, including options 
     that may require a legislative solution.
     Authority to increase primary aircraft authorization of Air 
         Force and Air National Guard A-10 aircraft units for 
         purposes of facilitating A-10 conversion
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 133) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to increase 
     the primary aircraft authorization of the Air Force Reserve 
     or Air National Guard A-10 units to 24 aircraft to facilitate 
     a unit conversion.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Secretary of the Air Force 
     currently has the authority prescribed in the Senate 
     provision and thus no further legislation is required.
     Increase in amounts for enhancing intelligence, surveillance, 
         and reconnaissance capability
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 135) that 
     included an increase of $23.1 million in line number 56 of 
     aircraft procurement, Air Force, for the E-8. The provision 
     would provide as an offset a decrease of $23.1 million in 
     line number 50 of aircraft procurement, Air Force, for the 
     OC-135B.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on demilitarization of certain cluster munitions
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 142) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from eliminating cluster 
     munitions from the Department of Defense (DOD) inventory 
     pending a certification. Under a Memorandum of the Secretary 
     of Defense, dated June 19, 2008, stockpiles considered to be 
     non-compliant were to be eliminated from the inventory after 
     January 1, 2019. The Secretary of Defense would have to 
     certify that the Department retains sufficient inventory 
     levels of operationally suitable cluster munitions that 
     comply with the Department's current policy, and meets at 
     least 75 percent of the U.S. combatant commands operational 
     requirements across the full range of military operational 
     environments.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees believe, and Combatant Commanders have 
     testified, that cluster munitions provide the military 
     services with an effective capability to engage area targets, 
     including massed formations of enemy forces. The conferees 
     understand that the Secretary of Defense, through the Joint 
     Staff, may soon adjust the Department's current policy, 
     established in the 2008 Memorandum, to a policy that would 
     prevent the DOD from removing non-compliant cluster munitions 
     from active inventories and demilitarized only after their 
     capabilities have been replaced by sufficient quantities of 
     policy-compliant cluster munitions. The conferees believe 
     that since the 2008 policy memorandum was signed, the global 
     security environment has changed, and that several years of 
     budgets have under-invested in replacement or policy 
     compliant cluster munition systems. Absent waivers, the 
     previous policy had the potential of depriving Combatant 
     Commanders of the best available options in future conflicts. 
     The conferees expect that any changes to the policy related 
     to cluster munitions will be made in consultation with the

     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.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     10201) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to 
     support national security innovation and entrepreneurial 
     education programs. The provision would also authorize the 
     Secretary to develop and maintain metrics to assess these 
     activities and ensure that any recipient of a small business 
     award has the option to participate in training under this 
     program.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     existing Department of Defense activities with which the 
     Secretary of Defense should consider coordinating and 
     partnering in executing the activities of this program.
       The conferees recognize that the ability of the Department 
     of Defense to respond to evolving national security 
     challenges would benefit by a workforce that is increasingly 
     exposed to, and has an understanding of, modern problem-
     solving techniques and innovative methodologies. The 
     conferees also believe that by presenting national security 
     problems to universities and education centers, increasingly 
     diverse stakeholder participation will aid in the rapid 
     development of solutions to national security challenges and 
     improve Department of Defense recruitment of young 
     technologists and engineers with critical skill sets, 
     including cyber capabilities. These sorts of programs may 
     also be useful in providing a unique pathway for veterans, 
     federal employees, and military personnel to leverage their 
     training, experience, and expertise to solve emerging 
     national security challenges while learning cutting-edge 
     business innovation methodologies.

     that would require that the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     continue serving as the Department of Defense Executive Agent 
     for the Defense Production Act Programs.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to complete a review and assessment of 
     the Defense Production Act Title III program and brief the 
     appropriate committees of jurisdiction. The amendment would 
     also establish that the Secretary of Defense shall not change 
     the assigned Department of Defense Executive Agent for the 
     program prior to briefing the appropriate committees of 
     jurisdiction.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters

     Columbia-class program accountability matrices (sec. 231)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would 
     deem certain Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine 
     components as critical technologies.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     submittal and periodic updates of matrices on Columbia-class 
     cost, design and construction goals. The Comptroller General 
     of the United States would be required to review and assess 
     each periodic update. The amendment would also repeal section 
     131 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2016 (Public Law 114-92).
     Review of barriers to innovation in research and engineering 
         activities of the Department of Defense (sec. 232)

       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to provide an annual report to the 
     congressional defense committees, developed in coordination 
     with relevant Under Secretaries and Service Secretaries, 
     describing specific impediments to innovation and methods by 
     which to address such impediments. The report shall also 
     articulate the process for review of directives, rules, 
     regulations, and other policies for their potential to 
     adversely affect the ability of the research and engineering 
     enterprise of the Department of Defense to execute its 
     designated missions.
     Pilot program to improve incentives for technology transfer 
         from Department of Defense laboratories (sec. 233)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 223) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of Energy, to conduct a pilot program among defense 
     laboratories (as defined in section 2199 of title 10, United 
     States Code), national laboratories (as defined in section 
     188(f) of title 10, United States Code), and private entities 
     to facilitate the licensure, transfer, and commercialization 
     of innovative technologies.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5202) that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     establish a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of distributing royalties and other payments to 
     the inventors or co-inventors of technologies whose rights 
     are directly assigned to the United States. The pilot program 
     under this section would terminate five years after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees are aware that questions have been raised 
     regarding the transfer of some technology developed by the 
     national laboratories when using Department of Defense 
     funding. The conferees therefore direct the Administrator for 
     Nuclear Security and the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and 
     House of Representatives no later than January 30, 2018. This 
     briefing should address plans to improve opportunities for 
     technology transfer with regard to defense technology that 
     was developed by the nuclear security laboratories for the 
     Department of Defense or military services, including a 
     description of which agency owns such technology and 
     opportunities for coordination to facilitate technology 
     transfer, as appropriate.

     provide a plan for a competitive acquisition process to 
     procure a secure, low probability of detection data link 
     network capability.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would specify that 
     the USD AT&L and VCJCS provide the defense committees 
     potential acquisition strategies and would change the 
     limitation of funds from the offices of the Secretary of 
     Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the 
     offices of the Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary 
     of the Navy.
     Clarification of selection dates for pilot program for the 
         enhancement of the research, development, test, and 
         evaluation centers of the Department of Defense (sec. 
         235)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 232) that 
     would make clarifications and edits to the laboratory 
     management demonstration program established in section 233 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2017 (Public Law 114-328). The provision would clarify the 
     date limitations for consideration of an application to join 
     the pilot program, and it would also clarify that any 
     proposals pursuant to the pilot program shall be submitted to 
     the appropriate assistant secretary.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Requirement for a plan to build a prototype for a new ground 
         combat vehicle for the Army (sec. 236)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 233) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on a plan to build a 
     prototype for a new ground combat vehicle within 90 days of 
     the enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of the Army to submit its plan not later than 
     February 1, 2018.
       The conferees encourage the Secretary of the Army to use 
     all available acquisition authorities to the fullest extent 
     possible to plan to build a prototype for a new ground combat 
     vehicle. The conferees are interested in how the Army intends 
     to exploit the latest enabling component technologies that 
     have the potential to dramatically change basic combat 
     vehicle design and improve lethality, protection, mobility, 
     range, and sustainment. The required report should include an 
     analysis of capabilities of the most advanced foreign ground 
     combat vehicles and whether any have characteristics that 
     should inform the development of the Army's prototype 
     vehicle, including whether any U.S. allies or partners have 
     advanced capabilities that could be directly incorporated in 
     the prototype. Such technologies would include vehicle active 
     protection systems with hard and soft kill capabilities, 
     reactive armor, composite armor, thermal signature reduction, 
     noise reduction, fuel cell propulsion, opposed-piston 
     engines, 32 speed transmissions, suspension, power 
     generation, voltage management, 3rd generation forward 
     looking infrared sights, integrated hostile fire detection, 
     manned-unmanned teaming, automatic loaders, munitions, and 
     cannons.

     Plan for successfully fielding the Integrated Air and Missile 
         Defense Battle Command System (sec. 237)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 234) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a plan to successfully field 
     a suitable, survivable, and effective Integrated Air and 
     Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) program. The 
     committee directs the Secretary to submit this plan within 
     180 days of the enactment of this Act. Furthermore, none of 
     the funds authorized may be obligated until receipt of the 
     Army's report.
       The House Bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of the Army to submit its plan not later than 
     February 1, 2018. The amendment also stipulates that not more 
     than 50 percent of the funds authorized may be obligated by 
     the Secretary of the Army.
       The conferees are concerned that this developmental program 
     is not meeting schedule and performance objectives after 
     having become a program of record over 7 years ago. The 
     conferees are aware that the Army has delayed a Milestone C 
     decision for limited production for 4 years.
       Given that the Army has already expended over $2.1 billion 
     on this program with the expected requirement to spend much 
     more, the conferees are concerned current software will soon 
     become obsolete before a functional IBCS is fielded.

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 217) that 
     would differentiate between research and development 
     activities and service activities through the establishment 
     of clear definitions for each activity.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for contract writing 
         systems
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 218) that would 
     limit the availability of funds for contract writing systems.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned that the military services 
     continue to procure individual, functionally stove-piped 
     business systems when there appear to be efficiencies and 
     cost-savings that might be gained by consolidating 
     acquisitions around areas with similar requirements. The 
     conferees are encouraged by the Department of Defense's 
     efforts to take a portfolio approach to contract-writing 
     systems. The conferees recognize the challenge in reducing 
     and consolidating the overall numbers of systems based on the 
     lack of sustained focus on overall information technology 
     modernization, but the burgeoning focus on data transparency 
     vice systems integration indicates that this problem may be 
     surmountable over time as current practices take hold within 
     the Department.
       Based on the progress in this area, the conferees encourage 
     the Department to initiate or accelerate such efforts in 
     other areas, to include personnel and pay, financial 
     management, and enterprise resource programs. In addition to 
     a portfolio approach, the conferees believe that these 
     initiatives could be accelerated by leveraging the use of 
     fixed-price contracting, pursuing the use of commercial-off-
     the-shelf solutions that minimize customization, and more 
     frequent delivery of increments.
       The conferees also encourage the Department to leverage the 
     pilot program for agile and iterative development for 
     software systems elsewhere in this Act as a means to test out 
     some of the concepts, and to serve as a pathfinder for other 
     programs.
     Strategy for use of virtual training technology
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 219) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to direct the head of each 
     military department to establish a comprehensive strategy to 
     determine what capability gaps exist in the department that 
     can be rectified with virtual training; to review the virtual 
     training possibilities for this gap to determine what virtual 
     training would rectify this gap most efficiently; and to 
     determine what acquisitions would need to be made to acquire 
     the correct amount of technology to achieve desired goals.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Increase in funding for electronics and electronic devices of 
         the Army
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 220) that would 
     increase funding for Applied Research, Electronics and 
     Electronic Devices.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Increase in funding for Historically Black Colleges and 
         Universities and Minority Institutions
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 221) that would 
     authorize funds to be appropriated in section 4201 for 
     research, development, test, and evaluation, Defense-wide, as 
     specified in the corresponding funding table in section 4201, 
     for Basic Research, Historically Black Colleges and 
     Universities/Minority Institutions, Line 006, to increase by 
     $4,135,000.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     236) that would authorize funds to be appropriated in 
     Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide, PE 
     61228D8Z, section 4201, for Basic Research, Historically 
     Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions, Line 
     006, to increase by $12,000,000.
       The House recedes.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that historically black colleges and 
     universities (HBCUs) and minority-serving institutions (MSI) 
     play a vital role in educating diverse and underrepresented 
     students in areas of national security need, particularly in 
     areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 
     For many years, these institutions have been collaborating 
     with the Department of Defense in research and development 
     efforts that contribute to the defense readiness and national 
     security of the nation. The conferees have supported both 
     greater participation among HBCU/MSI, as well as increased 
     opportunities within the Department of Defense to find means 
     to leverage that expertise more broadly, such as through 
     internships, outside review committees and advisory groups.
       Furthermore, the conferees recognize that these 
     institutions are vital in developing the next generation of 
     scientists and engineers who will help lead the Department of 
     Defense in addressing high-priority national security 
     challenges. It is important to further engage HBCUs and 
     minority-serving institutions in university research and 
     innovation, especially in prioritizing software development 
     and cyber security by utilizing existing Department of 
     Defense labs, and collaborating with existing programs that 
     help attract candidates, including programs like the Air 
     Force Minority Leaders Programs, which recruit Americans from 
     diverse background to serve their country through service in 
     our Nation's military.
       The conferees also note that although these provisions are 
     not adopted, the increase in funds authorized by them is 
     still included in the funding tables in Section 4201.
     STEM(MM) jobs action plan
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 224) that would 
     direct the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the 
     Secretary of each military department to perform an 
     assessment of the science, technology, engineering, math, 
     maintenance, and manufacturing (STEM(MM)) workforce for 
     organizations within the Department of Defense, including the 
     numbers and types of positions and the expectations for 
     losses due to retirements and voluntary departures; identify 
     the types and quantities of STEM(MM) jobs needed to support 
     future mission work; determine the shortfall between lost 
     STEM(MM) personnel and future requirements; analyze and 
     explain the appropriateness and impact of using reimbursable 
     and working capital fund dollars for new STEM(MM) hires; 
     identify a plan of action to address the STEM(MM) jobs gap, 
     including hiring strategies and timelines for replacement of 
     STEM(MM) employees; and deliver to Congress, not later than 
     December 31, 2018, a report specifying such plan of action.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that jobs in STEM(MM) make up a 
     significant portion of the workforce of the Department of 
     Defense. Many of these jobs exist within the organic 
     industrial base, research, development, and engineering 
     centers, life-cycle management commands, and logistics 
     centers of the Department, and are thus vital to the mission 
     of all of the military services. Because the demographics of 
     personnel of the Department indicate that

[[Page H8954]]

     many of the STEM(MM) personnel of the Department will be 
     eligible to retire in the next few years, the conferees 
     believe the Department should be taking decisive, proactive 
     action to ensure there is sufficient personnel for these 
     areas, and that any further skills and knowledge gap does not 
     lead to a serious readiness gap.
     Jet noise reduction program of the Navy

     very-low profile hardware, such as antennae and chipsets, 
     with software, encryption, and cyber and network management 
     tools necessary to interact with the Mobile User Objective 
     System (MUOS) and other systems that are considered part of 
     the Internet of Things to provide command, control, 
     communications, and cyber restoral capabilities.
       The House bill had no similar provision.

     or contract will promote the national defense to maintain the 
     viability of an arsenal, depot, plant, or military 
     installation on which such facility is located. The provision 
     would subject any lease to a 90-day hold period for the

     provision would finally require that this authority would 
     expire on September 30, 2020.

     Secretary of the Army will designate these items to either be 
     added to the transfer list for purposes of (b) or exemption 
     lists for purposes of (c). These lists shall include any 
     items that are not currently identified by subsection (a) or 
     (c). Furthermore, the amendment would not allow the Secretary 
     of the Army to take any action to transfer the items

     grant permissive authority to the Secretary of the Navy to 
     transfer to the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle 
     Practice & Firearms Safety, M-1 Garand and caliber .22 
     rimfire rifles within the inventories of the Navy and Marine

     enter into contracts with civilian entities to provide flying 
     or operational training to National Guard MQ-9 unmanned 
     aerial vehicle pilots and sensor aircrew under certain 
     conditions.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide the 
     Secretary of the Air Force with the prescribed authority, 
     vice the Chief of the National Guard Bureau.
       The conferees believe the Secretary of the Air Force should 
     closely coordinate with the Chief of the National Guard 
     Bureau in making the determination to use this authority.
     Training for National Guard personnel on wildfire response 
         (sec. 351)

     Authority to carry out environmental restoration activities 
         at National Guard and Reserve locations
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 341) that 
     would amend section 2701(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to authorize the Secretary to carry out environmental

     came from a Department of Defense facility; and (2) Authorize 
     access to the Environmental Restoration Account, established 
     in 10 U.S.C. 2703, to address the investigation and any

     and polyfluoroalkyl substances when the release took place 
     from an Air or Army National Guard facility operating under a 
     title 32 authority.
     Environmental oversight and remediation at Red Hill Bulk Fuel 
         Storage Facility
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 344) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Red Hill Bulk 
     Fuel Storage Facility located on Oahu, Hawaii is a national 
     strategic asset.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the strategic value of the Red Hill Bulk 
     Fuel Storage Facility that supports combatant commander 
     theater security requirements, contingency operations, and 
     provides essential and timely support to the United States 
     and allies' military mobilization, routine movements, and 
     disaster response efforts in the Indo-Asia-Pacific and around 
     the world. The conferees note that the facility in its 
     current form cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. 
     Moving the fuel to another storage facility in the Indo-Asia-
     Pacific would have implications for the United States 
     military force structure in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. If 
     the facility were closed, the United States Armed Forces 
     would be unable to support the National Military Strategy, 
     including the goals of the United States Pacific Commander, 
     and national security interests would be significantly 
     undermined.
       The conferees note that constant vigilance is required to 
     ensure that facility degradation and fuel leaks do not pose a 
     threat to the people of Hawaii, especially the drinking water 
     on Oahu, and despite its importance, the bulk fuel storage 
     facility continues to face long-term challenges without 
     robust and consistent funding that provides the Navy and the 
     Defense Logistics Agency the resources needed to improve the 
     fuel storage tanks and associated infrastructure. 
     Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary of

[[Page H8957]]

     Defense to ensure the annual budget justification materials 
     submitted to Congress includes a description of how the 
     Department will request and use funds to support any 
     deliverables that the parties of the Administrative Order on 
     Consent have agreed are necessary to ensure the continued 
     safe operation of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility and 
     prevent future fuel leaks into the environment.

     increase funding for civil military programs by $25.0 
     million.

       The House recedes.
     Report on maternity uniforms
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 346) that would

     congressional defense committees regarding maternity uniforms 
     for pregnant members of the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, a report 
     regarding maternity uniforms for pregnant members of the 
     Armed Forces. The report shall include:
       (1) The design of maternity uniforms;
       (2) Materials used in the fabrication of maternity 
     uniforms;
       (3) The sizing of maternity uniforms;
       (4) Prices of maternity uniforms;
       (5) The availability of maternity uniforms;
       (6) The quality of maternity uniforms;
       (7) The utility of maternity uniforms.
     Status of compliance with process for communicating 
         availability of surplus ammunition
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 347) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics to provide a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees on the status of compliance 
     with section 344 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 344 of Public Law 114-328 
     required the Secretary of Defense to implement a formal 
     process for communicating to other Federal Government 
     agencies the availability of surplus, serviceable ammunition 
     from the Department of Defense for the purpose of reducing 
     costs relating to the storage and disposal of such 
     ammunition. The conferees are aware that a Memorandum of 
     Understanding was signed by the Defense Logistics Agency 
     (DLA) and the Department of the Army to help facilitate a 
     formal process for transferring excess conventional 
     ammunition and the conferees support this action taken. 
     However, the conferees need to better understand how this 
     formal process is being implemented. Therefore, the conferees 
     direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the Director, 
     DLA, and the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army (G-4) to 
     provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees 
     not later than 30 days after enactment of this Act on the 
     formal processes being used to communicate the availability 
     of surplus ammunition to other Federal Government agencies.
     Increase in funding for National Guard counter-drug programs
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 348) that would 
     increase the amount to be authorized to be appropriated to 
     support the National Guard counter-drug program by $10 
     million.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Facilities demolition plan of the Army
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5303) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a 
     facilities demolition plan.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of taking into account 
     contamination when demolishing facilities on military 
     property. The conferees direct the Secretary of the Army to 
     submit a facilities demolition plan for the Army to the 
     congressional defense committees no later than 120 days after 
     the enactment of this Act. The plan should:
       (1) Take into account the impact of a contaminated facility 
     on mission readiness, and national security generally, in 
     establishing priorities for the demolition of facilities; and
       (2) Set forth a multi-year plan for the demolition of Army 
     facilities, including contaminated facilities afforded a 
     priority for demolition pursuant to the previous point.

     Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct that not later than December 31, 2017 
     the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report setting forth a description of 
     the manner in which the Secretary will allocate funds which 
     shall be used by the Air Force and the National Guard to take 
     actions to mitigate identified sources of polyfluoroalkyl 
     substances at sites as a result of surveys conducted by the 
     Armed Forces so as to restore public confidence in potable 
     water which may be affected in such sites.

     Army 483,500; Navy 327,900; Marine Corps 186,000; Air Force 
     325,100.
     Revisions in permanent active duty end strength minimum 
         levels (sec. 402)

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense is 
     expected to use its variance authority to go below the 
     authorized end strength in the event that quality standards 
     cannot be met through appropriate recruiting and retention 
     methods with the increase in end strength authorized, which 
     is to be interpreted as a ceiling, not a floor.

     End strengths for Selected Reserve (sec. 411)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 411) that would

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 413) that would 
     authorize the following end strengths for military 
     technicians (dual status) as of September 30, 2018: the Army 
     National Guard of the United States, 25,507; the Army 
     Reserve, 7,427; the Air National Guard of the United States, 
     21,893; and the Air Force Reserve, 10,160.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 413) that 
     would authorize the following end strengths for military 
     technicians (dual status) as of September 30, 2018: the Army

     technicians to title 5 civilian employees required elsewhere 
     in this bill.

       The conferees note that the number of personnel available 
     for full-time support of the

[[Page H8958]]

     reserve components of the Army and the Air Force through the 
     combination of military technicians (dual status) and those 
     technicians converted to civilian employees under section 
     3101 of title 5, United States Code, or section 1601 of title 
     10, United States Code, is no less than it would be absent 
     the conversion. Further, the conferees have not reduced 
     either the overall Selected Reserve end strength or budgetary 
     authority for civilian personnel relative to this conversion. 
     The conferees expect the Department of Defense to utilize its 
     variance authority to allocate the 12.6 percent conversion 
     appropriately across the components.

         technicians (sec. 414)

     training or initial active duty for training in the Armed 
     Forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment and an 
     amendment that would require the service secretaries to 
     commence providing the required training on sexual assault 
     prevention and response not later than 180 days after the

     annual SAPRO reports and revise the date of application of 
     the additional reporting requirements to March 1, 2020 to 
     account for when the relevant data will be available for

     SROTC program scholarship offered at the minority-serving 
     institution if the Secretary considers it appropriate for the 
     purpose of the scholarship.

     provision would allow the Secretary of Defense to use $5.0 
     million, of the total amount authorized, for payments to 
     local educational agencies with higher concentrations of 
     military children with severe disabilities, at his discretion 
     and without regard to the formula set forth in section 363 of

     amend section 574(c)(3) of the John Warner National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364 
     (20 U.S.C. 7703b note)), as amended by section 572 of the

     relating to transition and support of military dependent 
     students to local educational agencies from September 30, 
     2017, to September 30, 2018.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide 
     permanent authority to the Department of Defense relating to 
     transition and support of military dependent students to

     Report on educational opportunities in science, technology, 
         engineering, and mathematics for children who are 
         dependents of members of the Armed Forces (sec. 553)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5508) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to issue guidance to 
     the Armed Forces, not later than 1 year after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, to ensure: (1) Placement of a priority 
     on supporting early learning in science, technology, 
     engineering, and mathematics (STEM) for children in 
     Department of Defense (DOD) schools and in schools serving 
     large military child populations; and (2) Support for efforts 
     that school staff serving military children have the training 
     and skills to teach STEM subjects. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary to submit a report to the congressional 
     defense committees, not later than 2 years from the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, that describes and assesses: (1) 
     Progress towards improving educational opportunities and 
     achievement in STEM subjects; and (2) Efforts to implement 
     the guidance required under this provision.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit, not later than 2 years after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, a report to the 
     congressional defense committees containing a description and 
     assessment of: (1) Current DOD programs to improve 
     opportunities for STEM education for military children; and 
     (2) Efforts to increase opportunities and achievement in STEM 
     education for military children.
       The conferees note that military children face unique 
     challenges in educational achievement due to frequent changes 
     of station and deployments of their parents. Investing in 
     quality education opportunities for all military children 
     ensures parents can stay focused on the mission, and this 
     investment is an important element in a comprehensive 
     strategy for ensuring a smart, skilled, and committed future 
     national security workforce. Therefore, the conferees 
     recommend that the Secretary of Defense develop and issue 
     guidance to relevant organizations in DOD supporting early 
     learning in STEM subjects for children, including those at 
     DOD schools and local schools serving large military child 
     populations, and support efforts to ensure that curriculum 
     specialists, trainers, and teachers serving military children 
     have the training and skills necessary to implement 
     instruction in STEM subjects that provide the necessary 
     foundation for future learning and educational achievement in 
     such areas.

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     submission of an annual report on family support programs 
     conducted pursuant to this authority.

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 582) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to initiate a 
     comprehensive review of the policies for determining which 
     posts are accompanied, which are unaccompanied, and the

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment specifying further 
     locations to be reviewed.
       The conferees are concerned with the significant costs

     Kwajalein would cost over $1.3 million each. The proposed 
     $250.0 million replacement hospital at Guantanamo Bay would 
     cost $50.0 million per bed. Costs for school construction and 
     support are also significantly higher at these remote 
     locations than they are in the United States, which is a 
     primary reason why locations such as Diego Garcia are 
     unaccompanied.

         for veterans (sec. 573)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 513) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to review certain end-

     affect the ability of the Armed Forces to meet the demand for 
     personnel to perform funeral honors in connection with 
     funerals for veterans. The provision would require the 
     Secretary to report to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and House of Representatives on the results of

     House of Representatives by no later than April 1, 2018, a 
     report assessing the adequacy of current authorities for the 
     employment, use, and status of military technicians, to 
     include recommendations for statutory change. The purpose of 
     the report would be to define the mission and requirements of 
     military technicians, identify means to improve their 
     management and administration, and identify means to enhance 
     the capability of the Department of Defense to recruit and 
     retain technicians.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2018, on the

     does not substantially increase costs of childcare services 
     for the military departments or conflict with others who have 
     higher priority for space in childcare services programs.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment on expanding 
     and contracting for childcare services of the Department and 
     to submit a report, not later than September 1, 2018, to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of

     background checks, compliant with existing law, on all

     Air Force pilot program on education and training and 
         certification of secondary and post-secondary students as 
         aircraft technicians
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6001) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct a 
     pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of 
     providing education and training to secondary and post-
     secondary students in the skills and qualifications required 
     to become aircraft technicians, and to provide authority to 
     employ such individuals in the Air Force as technicians.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to review the adequacy of the aircraft maintainer

     the Air Force's requirements for maintainers, the extent and 
     nature of any shortfall, and the Air Force's ability to 
     satisfy these requirements, including an assessment of

     6001 of the Senate-passed bill as a method of overcoming any 
     shortfall or failure to effectively compete with the private 
     sector. The conferees direct the Comptroller General to

     review together with recommendations for how best to address

     that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a

     of existing Department of Defense programs with similar

     higher education, employers, and other public, private, and 
     non-profit entities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

          Title VI--Compensation and Other Personnel Benefits

                     Subtitle A--Pay and Allowances

     Annual adjustment of basic monthly pay (sec. 601)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that would 
     authorize a pay raise of 2.4 percent for all members of the 
     uniformed services effective January 1, 2018.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     601) that would authorize a pay raise of 2.1 percent for all 
     members of the uniformed services effective January 1, 2018.
       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibiting collection of additional amounts from members 
         living in units under Military Housing Privatization 
         Initiative (sec. 602)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2817) that would 
     add section 2879 to sub-chapter IV of chapter 169 of title 
     10, United States Code, to prohibit the collection of 
     additional out of pocket fees from service members living in 
     Military Housing Privatization Initiative housing.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on modification of payment authority for Military 
         Housing Privatization Initiative housing (sec. 603)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 602) that would 
     temporarily prohibit the Secretary of Defense from further 
     reducing the basic allowance for housing (BAH) below the 
     level established for fiscal year 2018 for service members 
     residing in Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) 
     housing until 2019. The provision would also require the 
     Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives on the Department of Defense's 
     management of MHPI and plans and alternatives considered for 
     ensuring the continued viability of MHPI projects.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees strongly believe that military families must 
     be provided with on-base housing that is safe, properly 
     maintained, and periodically modernized. The current MHPI 
     agreements are structured to include the recapitalization 
     effort through receipt of the service members BAH as 
     calculated for the military housing area by the Department of 
     Defense. Section 403(b) of title 37 requires a 1% reduction 
     in the BAH rate per year starting in 2015 until the total 
     reduction is 5% below the calculated rate. The reduction for 
     2018 would total 4%. The conferees note that the BAH 
     reduction will have an effect on the long-term 
     recapitalization effort for MHPI housing. The Senate 
     amendment would require the Department of Defense to pay to 
     lessors of MHPI projects in 2018 the equivalent of 1 percent 
     of BAH, effectively nullifying the 2018 reduction for those 
     projects. Upon completion of the Comptroller General's 
     report, the conferees expect the Secretary of Defense, and 
     the military services together with their MHPI partners, to 
     review the report, and develop a plan to ensure the solvency 
     and viability of MHPI projects in a manner that does not 
     depend on out-of-pocket contributions by service members who 
     reside in MHPI housing. The conferees believe strongly that 
     this is a problem that the military services and their MHPI 
     partners must solve together, within the next year, project-
     by-project if necessary. The conferees direct the Department, 
     upon devising plan described herein, to brief the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives on that plan.

     provision would also authorize a servicemember to be 
     eligible, on a space-available basis, either for temporary 
     use of government-owned or government-leased housing or an 
     equitable basic allowance for housing if a spouse or other

     Dependency Indemnity Compensation offset required by law.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 638) that

     uniformed services who are collocated and who have 
     dependents.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees remain committed to the requirement in 
     section 604 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) that the Department of 
     Defense report on the feasibility of a single salary 
     compensation system for service members in lieu of the 
     current system of basic pay and allowances. The conferees 
     understand that the Department intends to address these 
     questions as part of its next Quadrennial Review of Military 
     Compensation (QRMC). The conferees direct, as an interim 
     step, the Secretary of Defense to deliver to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives 
     a description, by no later than April 1, 2018, of their 
     intended work on this matter, including those elements of 
     compensation that will be included in the review, the full 
     scope of options with respect to the single-payer system that 
     will be considered, the methodology by which the Department 
     will assess the feasibility of such a change, and the 
     expected delivery date of the QRMC, together with the 
     identification of any other matters the Secretary believes 
     need to be addressed in the course of this review. Finally, 
     the conferees direct the Secretary to provide with the report

     the most common military housing areas within the United 
     States.
     Per diem allowance policies
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 604) that would

     temporary duty described in a certain policy memorandum.

       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 addressed this per diem issue by 
     authorizing the Secretary concerned to waive the reduced flat 
     rate per diem and pay travelers actual expenses up to the 
     full per diem if the Secretary concerned determines that the 
     reduced flat rate per diem for meals and incidental expenses 
     is insufficient under the circumstances of the TDY 
     assignment. The conferees also note the lack of evidence that 
     shows the current system is causing financial hardship on 
     military and civilian employees on long term TDY assignment, 
     or is otherwise impacting volunteerism among civilians for 
     critical missions.

     affecting the general welfare from the waiver authority of 
     the President to make an alternative pay adjustment.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

       The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Overseas Housing Allowance 
     applies uniformly to all overseas and territorial locations 
     and believe this is currently the most appropriate policy.

         a member of the Armed Forces arising from separation from 
         the Armed Forces
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 616) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security to reimburse a servicemember up to $500 for 
     re-licensing costs incurred upon separation from the Armed 
     Forces. In addition, the provision would require the service 
     secretaries to work with the states to improve portability of 
     licenses between states and to report recommendations on this 
     matter to the appropriate congressional committees and the 
     states.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize that programs and resources exist 
     that provide servicemembers with certifications and licenses 
     related to their military training, most notably the 
     credentialing program under section 2015 of title 10, United 
     States Code, as well as resources and benefits to acquire new 
     skills and education while off-duty, such as the Tuition 
     Assistance Program. Moreover, there are numerous education 
     and transition benefits available for veterans and their 
     families under the purview of the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs, the Department of Labor, and other Federal agencies. 
     The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to assess the panoply of benefits and programs 
     available government-wide to separating servicemembers 
     intended to provide the skills and education necessary for 
     such members to achieve meaningful and fulfilling employment 
     in their civilian lives, and to report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     on the results of that assessment by no later than October 1, 
     2018, including such recommendations for congressional action 
     as the Comptroller General may have to ensure such benefits 
     and programs achieve their intended purpose while avoiding 
     unnecessary duplication of effort among the Federal agencies.

     bonus to $50,000 and allow the Secretary concerned the 
     flexibility to increase the aviation incentive pay limit set 
     forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Defense under 
     section 374 of title 37, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

     congressional defense committees, within 180 days of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, regarding management practices 
     of military commissaries and exchanges. The report required 
     under this section would include a cost-benefit analysis with 
     a goal of reducing the operational costs of commissaries and 
     exchanges by $2.0 billion in fiscal years 2018 through 2022 
     while not increasing patrons' costs.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5602).
       The Senate and House recede.

     (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) required a 
     comprehensive, independent review of the defense commissary 
     system. Subsequently, section 651 of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 
     2016 (Public Law 114-92) required the Secretary of Defense to 
     develop a plan to obtain budget neutrality for the defense 
     commissary and the military exchange systems, and to include 
     in the development of this plan consideration of the report 
     required by section 634 of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2015. The 
     Department delivered to Congress the report required by 
     section 634 on August 26, 2015, and delivered the plan to 
     achieve budget savings required by section 651 in May of 
     2016. Based on the recommendations from these efforts, 
     Congress subsequently enacted a number of reforms to achieve 
     savings in the commissary system (and thereby lowering the 
     appropriated fund subsidy to the commissary system), 
     including variable pricing authority, authority to sell 
     private label products, and authority to convert the 
     commissary system to a non-appropriated fund activity. In 
     light of the extensive reports already required by Congress 
     and delivered by the Department in this area, and the 
     enactment of cost saving measures as recommended by those 
     reports, the conferees believe there is little additional 
     benefit to be gained by requiring the Department to submit 
     another report assessing methods of achieving cost savings in 
     the commissary and military exchange systems.

     Promotion of financial literacy concerning retirement among 
         members of the Armed Forces
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 633) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to develop programs of 
     financial literacy for members of the Armed Forces to assist 
     members in better understanding retirement options and 
     planning for retirement.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Inclusion of Department of Agriculture in Transition 
         Assistance Program
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 652) that 
     would amend subsection (a) of section 1144 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to require inclusion of information 
     provided by the Department of Agriculture in the Transition 
     Assistance Program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on use of second-destination transportation to 
         transport fresh fruit and vegetables to commissaries in 
         the Asia-Pacific region
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5601) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to 
     the congressional defense committees, not later than 120 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, on second-
     destination transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables to 
     commissaries in the Asia-Pacific region.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Senate on the use by exchange stores of small 
         businesses as suppliers
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10601) 
     that would express the sense of the Senate to urge the 
     Department of Defense's exchange stores to develop strategies 
     for featuring products of small businesses, especially 
     products of veteran-owned small businesses, in military 
     exchange stores.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Element in next quadrennial review of military compensation 
         on value assigned by members of the Armed Forces to 
         various aspects of military compensation
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10603) 
     that would require the President to ensure that the first 
     quadrennial review of the principals and concepts of the 
     compensation system for members of the uniformed services 
     under section 1008(b) of title 37, United States Code, after 
     the enactment of this Act, include a review of the 
     comparative value members of the Armed Forces assign to 
     various aspects of military compensation.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of servicemember 
     compensation preferences in designing a competitive military 
     compensation system capable of attracting and retaining high-
     quality personnel for the all-volunteer force. The conferees 
     expect the Secretary of Defense to take servicemember 
     preferences into account when making recommendations to 
     modify the current compensation system in the forthcoming 
     Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation.

                   Title VII--Health Care Provisions

           Subtitle A--Tricare and Other Health Care Benefits

     Continued access to medical care at facilities of the 
         uniformed services for certain members of the reserve 
         components (sec. 701)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 702) that 
     would amend sections 1076d(f) and 1076e of title 10, United 
     States Code, to clarify the eligibility for medical services 
     for beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Reserve Select and 
     TRICARE Retired Reserve.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modifications of cost-sharing requirements for the TRICARE 
         Pharmacy Benefits Program and treatment of certain 
         pharmaceutical agents (sec. 702)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 706) that 
     would amend paragraph 6 of 1074g (a) of title 10, United 
     States Code, to modify cost-sharing amounts for the TRICARE 
     pharmacy benefits program for years 2018 through 2026. After 
     2026, the Department could establish cost-sharing amounts 
     equal to the cost-sharing amounts for the previous year 
     adjusted by an amount, if any, to reflect increases in costs 
     of pharmaceutical agents and pharmacy dispensing fees. With 
     this provision, beneficiaries would continue to receive 
     pharmaceuticals at no cost in military medical treatment 
     facilities. For years 2018 through 2020, the cost-share 
     amount for up to a 90-day supply of a generic pharmaceutical 
     agent dispensed through the mail order pharmacy would be $10, 
     which would partially cover the Department's administrative 
     costs for the drug and would result in a consistent drug 
     cost-share with generic drugs dispensed in retail pharmacies. 
     Under this provision, there would be no changes to cost-
     sharing amounts for survivors of members who died on Active 
     Duty or for disabled retirees and their family members.
       To encourage use of pharmaceutical agents that provide the 
     greatest value to beneficiaries and the Department, the 
     provision would authorize the Secretary of Defense, upon 
     recommendation from the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee 
     and review by the Uniform Formulary Beneficiary Advisory 
     Panel, to exclude from the pharmacy benefits program any 
     pharmaceutical agent that the Secretary determines provides 
     little or no value to covered beneficiaries and the 
     Department. Additionally, the Secretary would give 
     preferential status to any non-generic pharmaceutical agent 
     on the uniform formulary by treating it, for the purposes of 
     cost-sharing, as a generic product under the TRICARE retail 
     pharmacy and mail order programs. Finally, the provision 
     would amend section 1079 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary to adopt special reimbursement 
     methods, amounts, and procedures in medical contracts to 
     encourage physicians to use high-value pharmaceutical agents 
     and to discourage use of low-value agents.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) Modify 
     prescription drug cost-sharing amounts for the TRICARE 
     pharmacy benefits program for years 2018 through 2027; and 
     (2) Make a technical amendment.
     Provision of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for certain members of 
         the Armed Forces (sec. 703)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that would 
     amend Chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide hyperbaric 
     oxygen therapy available at a military medical treatment 
     facility to a servicemember diagnosed with post-traumatic 
     stress disorder or traumatic brain injury if a physician 
     prescribes such therapy.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Specification that individuals under the age of 21 are 
         eligible for hospice care services under the TRICARE 
         program (sec. 704)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 705) that 
     would amend section 1079(a)(15) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to authorize hospice care services for eligible 
     beneficiaries under the age of 21.
       The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 
     5702) that would provide a rule of construction such that 
     Section 705 would have no force or effect. Additionally, this 
     provision would amend section 1079(a)(15) of title 10, United 
     States Code, to authorize hospice care services for eligible 
     beneficiaries under the age of 21 concurrently with health 
     care services or hospitalization for the same medical 
     condition.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1079(a)(15) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize hospice care services for eligible beneficiaries 
     under the age of 21 concurrently with health care services or 
     hospitalization for the same medical condition.
     Physical examinations for members of a reserve component who 
         are separating from the Armed Forces (sec. 705)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that would 
     amend section 1145 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the service secretary to provide a physical 
     examination to a reserve component member during the 2-year 
     period before the date on which the member separates from the 
     Armed Forces in support of a contingency operation for a 
     period of more than 30 days. The provision would require the 
     Secretary to provide the physical examination during the 90-
     day period before the member's separation date and to provide 
     a record of the examination to the member. Under this 
     provision, the member would not be entitled to health 
     benefits solely by reason of receiving a physical 
     examination.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1145 of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
     service secretary to provide a physical examination to a 
     reserve component member during the 2-year period before the 
     date on which the member separates from the Armed Forces in 
     support of a contingency operation for a period of more than 
     30 days, if the member would not otherwise receive such an 
     examination and elects an examination. The provision would 
     require the service secretary to provide the physical 
     examination during the 90-day period before the member's 
     separation date, to issue orders for the member to receive 
     the examination, and to provide a record of the examination 
     to the member. Under this provision, the member would not be 
     entitled to health benefits solely by reason of receiving a 
     physical examination.
     Mental health assessments before members separate from the 
         Armed Forces (sec. 706)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would 
     amend section 1145(a)(5)(A) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to require the service secretary concerned to provide a 
     mental health examination to servicemembers prior to 
     separation from the Armed Forces.

[[Page H8971]]

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     service secretary concerned to provide a mental health 
     assessment to servicemembers prior to separation from the 
     Armed Forces.
     Expansion of sexual trauma counseling and treatment for 
         members of the reserve components (sec. 707)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 706) that would 
     amend section 1720D(a)(2)(A) of title 38, United States Code, 
     to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, in 
     conjunction with the Secretary of Defense, to provide 
     counseling and care and services to members of the Armed 
     Forces to overcome psychological trauma stemming from sexual 
     harassment or sexual assault suffered by the member while 
     serving on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive 
     duty training.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     11001).
       The Senate recedes.
     Expedited evaluation and treatment for prenatal surgery under 
         the TRICARE program (sec. 708)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to implement processes 
     and procedures to ensure a covered beneficiary under the 
     TRICARE program, whose pregnancy is complicated with a fetal 
     condition or suspected fetal condition, receives at the 
     discretion of the covered beneficiary, expedited evaluation, 
     non-directive counseling, and treatment from a perinatal or 
     pediatric specialist capable of providing surgical management 
     and intervention in utero.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to implement processes and procedures to 
     ensure a covered beneficiary under the TRICARE program, whose 
     pregnancy is complicated with a fetal condition or suspected 
     fetal condition, may elect to receive expedited evaluation, 
     non-directive counseling, and medical treatment from a 
     perinatal or pediatric specialist capable of providing 
     surgical management and intervention in utero.

                 Subtitle B--Health Care Administration

     Maintenance of inpatient capabilities of military medical 
         treatment facilities located outside the United States 
         (sec. 711)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 712) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in carrying out section 
     1073d of title 10, United States Code, to ensure that each 
     military medical treatment facility (MTF) located outside the 
     United States maintains, at a minimum, the inpatient 
     capabilities of such facility as of September 30, 2016.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1073d of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
     Secretary of Defense to ensure that each MTF located outside 
     the United States maintains, at a minimum, inpatient 
     capabilities that the Secretary determines are similar to 
     those capabilities of such facility on September 30, 2016. 
     The provision would require the Secretary to maintain 
     inpatient capabilities at such facility until the day that is 
     180 days after the Secretary provides a briefing to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives on proposed elimination of inpatient 
     capabilities. The provision would require the Secretary to 
     certify in the briefing that: (1) Host nation hospitals or 
     medical centers have agreed to provide inpatient capabilities 
     that would be eliminated at the MTF; (2) Servicemembers and 
     covered beneficiaries would receive quality health care, 
     including case management and translation services, at a host 
     nation facility within a reasonable distance, as determined 
     by the Secretary; (3) The Secretary has consulted with the 
     appropriate geographic combatant command in which the MTF is 
     located to ensure that proposed elimination of inpatient 
     capabilities would have no impact on operational plans; and 
     (4) The Secretary will provide servicemembers and covered 
     beneficiaries receiving health care services from the MTF 
     with a transition plan for continuity of health care and will 
     provide a public forum to discuss their concerns regarding a 
     reduction of impatient capabilities at the MTF.
     Modification of priority for evaluation and treatment of 
         individuals at military treatment facilities (sec. 712)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 724) that would 
     amend section 717 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) by striking 
     subsection (d) and inserting new subsections to express a 
     sense of Congress on the eligibility of victims of acts of 
     terror for evaluation and treatment at military treatment 
     facilities.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 721) that 
     would amend section 717(b) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     to authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive the priority 
     of covered beneficiaries to receive evaluation and treatment 
     at military treatment facilities in order to provide 
     evaluation and treatment for the following individuals: (1) 
     Persons severely wounded or injured by acts of terror in the 
     United States; or (2) Residents of the United States severely 
     wounded or injured by acts of terror outside the United 
     States.
       The House recedes.
     Clarification of administration of military medical treatment 
         facilities (sec. 713)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that would 
     amend sections 1073c(a)(2), 3036(f), 5137(b), and 8036(b) of 
     title 10, United States Code, to clarify the roles and 
     responsibilities of military medical treatment facility (MTF) 
     commanders and the Services' Surgeons General.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 723) that 
     would amend section 1073c(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to clarify that the individual responsible for ensuring 
     readiness of members of the Armed Forces and civilian 
     employees of an MTF and for furnishing the healthcare and 
     medical treatment at that facility can be either a military 
     or civilian director under the authority, direction, and 
     control of the Defense Health Agency. Additionally, the 
     provision would authorize, if the Secretary of Defense 
     determines it appropriate, that a military director (or other 
     senior military officer or officers) of an MTF may be a 
     commanding officer for purposes of Chapter 47 of this title 
     (the Uniformed Code of Military Justice) with respect to 
     military personnel assigned to the MTF.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     the individual responsible for ensuring readiness of members 
     of the Armed Forces and civilian employees of an MTF and for 
     furnishing the healthcare and medical treatment at that 
     facility can be either a military commander or director. The 
     provision would authorize, if the Secretary of Defense 
     determines it appropriate, that a military director (or other 
     senior military officer or officers) of an MTF may be a 
     commanding officer for purposes of Chapter 47 of this title 
     (the Uniformed Code of Military Justice) with respect to 
     military personnel assigned to the MTF.
       The conferees voice concern with the Department's lack of 
     progress on the development of the implementation plan to 
     transition MTFs to the Defense Health Agency (DHA), as 
     required by section 702 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). Section 702 
     gave the DHA broad responsibility for the administration and 
     operation of each MTF and limited the roles and 
     responsibilities of each Service Surgeon General in the 
     direct care delivery system, while maintaining their 
     oversight of the operational medical force readiness of their 
     respective military services. The Department's March and June 
     2017 interim reports to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives outlined the 
     decision to establish a ``component model'' with the Services 
     maintaining command and control of MTFs through newly formed 
     intermediary medical commands under two separate lines of 
     authority, one from the Services and the other from the DHA.
       The conferees believe the Department's attempt to maintain 
     current stove-piped organizational constructs risks 
     preserving inefficiencies in the military health system's 
     (MHS) command and governance structure. The conferees agree 
     that beneficiaries--Active-Duty servicemembers and their 
     families, retirees and their families--deserve an agile 
     organizational structure that adapts to their needs while 
     ensuring vital healthcare support to the warfighter wherever 
     needed.
       The conferees are resolutely committed to reforming the 
     organization and governance of the MHS. There are strong 
     concerns, however, regarding whether the component model, as 
     proposed, will lead to enhanced operational medical force 
     readiness, improved access to care, improved quality of care, 
     and a better experience of care that soldiers, sailors, 
     airmen, and marines (and their families) deserve. Therefore, 
     the conferees direct the Department to implement an 
     organizational construct that eliminates unnecessary 
     organizational structures and removes any possibility for the 
     Department to maintain the status quo in the MHS. The 
     conferees will closely monitor the Department's progress 
     toward a unified, more efficient MHS operating model and will 
     not hesitate to direct a revised MHS operating model if the 
     component model fails to meet the congressional intent of 
     section 702 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017.
     Regular update of prescription drug pricing standard under 
         TRICARE retail pharmacy program (sec. 714)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 713) that would 
     amend section 1074g(d) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretary of Defense to include requirements 
     described in section 1860D-12(b)(6) of the Social Security 
     Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-112(b)(6)) in TRICARE pharmacy program 
     contracts to ensure the provision of information regarding 
     the pricing standard for prescription drugs.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     5703).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Modification of execution of TRICARE contracting 
         responsibilities (sec. 715)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 724) that 
     would amend subsection (b) of section 705 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328) to clarify the execution of contracting 
     responsibility for acquisition of managed care support 
     contracts under the TRICARE program initiated after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act. Under this provision, the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment would 
     serve as

[[Page H8972]]

     the acquisition decision authority and be responsible for 
     approving the acquisition strategy and conducting pre-
     solicitation, pre-award, and post-award acquisition reviews.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Additional emergency uses for medical products to reduce 
         deaths and severity of injuries caused by agents of war 
         (sec. 716)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 732) that 
     would amend section 1107a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to approve the emergency 
     use of medical products, outside the United States, in 
     situations in which an emergency use of an unapproved product 
     or an emergency unapproved use of an approved product cannot 
     be authorized under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, 
     and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) because the emergency 
     does not involve an actual or threatened attack with a 
     biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees agree that traditional pathways to the Food 
     and Drug Administration's approval and licensure of critical 
     medical products for combat casualty care are too slow to 
     allow for rapid insertion and use of these products on the 
     battlefield. The conferees believe this provision could lead 
     to even higher survival rates from severe combat wounds and 
     injuries suffered by servicemembers. The conferees expect the 
     Department to consult with the Commissioner of the Food and 
     Drug Administration when evaluating medical products for 
     combat casualty care and to use this new authority strictly 
     for approval of medical products for battlefield wounds and 
     injuries.
     Modification of determination of average wait times at urgent 
         care clinics and pharmacies at military medical treatment 
         facilities under pilot program (sec. 717)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 734) that 
     would amend subsections 744(c)(2) and 744(d)(2) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328) to require the Secretary of Defense to 
     utilize a formula derived from health care industry best

     Requirement for reimbursement by Department of Defense to 
         entities carrying out State vaccination programs for 
         costs of vaccines provided to covered beneficiaries (sec. 
         718)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10701) 
     that would amend section 719 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     to require the Secretary of Defense to reimburse state 
     vaccination programs for costs of vaccines provided to 
     covered beneficiaries.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that there appear to be challenges with 
     some state vaccine programs in negotiations with the 
     Department of Defense to determine the number of vaccines 
     provided to TRICARE eligible beneficiaries and the price for 
     reimbursement for the vaccines. The conferees expect both the 
     state programs and the Department to use proper accounting 
     procedures and to negotiate in good faith to determine the 
     reimbursement price for vaccines.
     Extension of authority for Joint Department of Defense-
         Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility 
         Demonstration Fund (sec. 719)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 731) that 
     would extend the authority for the joint Department of

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 714) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that a podiatrist 
     serving in the Armed Forces must have successfully completed 
     a 3-year podiatric medicine and surgical residency.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Authorization of physical therapist assistants and 
         occupational therapy assistants to provide services under 
         the TRICARE program (sec. 721)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5705) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to revise section 
     199.6(c) of title 32, Code of Federal Regulations, to include 
     licensed or certified physical therapist assistants and 
     occupational therapy assistants as authorized providers under 
     the TRICARE program, as defined by section 1072 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to furnish services when under the 
     supervision of a physical therapist or occupational therapist 
     respectively.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Selection of military commanders and directors of military 
         medical treatment facilities (sec. 722)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 722) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 
     January 1, 2019, to develop common qualifications and core 
     competencies required for selection of directors of military 
     medical treatment facilities (MTFs). The provision would also 
     establish a minimum length of 3 years for tours of duty, with 
     limited exceptions, for those directors to ensure greater 
     stability in health system executive management at each 
     facility and throughout the military health system.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the service 
     secretaries, to develop, not later than January 1, 2019, 
     common qualifications and core competencies required for 
     selection of military commanders and directors of MTFs.
       The conferees express concern that MTF commanders and 
     directors typically rotate to new duty stations every 2 
     years, and these frequent transfers lead to great instability 
     in the management of hospitals and clinics. The rapid 
     turnover of commanders and directors creates turmoil in 
     hospital executive leadership and management, negatively 
     affecting the performance of the local facility and the 
     overall performance of the entire military health system. The 
     conferees encourage the Secretary to consider extending the 
     tour lengths of those commanders and directors to improve and 
     stabilize the operations of MTFs.

     would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
     longitudinal medical study on blast pressure exposure of 
     members of the Armed Forces during combat and training. The 
     provision would also require the Secretary to submit a report 
     to Congress on the results of the study.

       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary to submit an interim report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, not later than 1 year after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, that describes the study methods and 
     action plan. The Secretary would then submit a final report 
     on the results of the study to the same committees not later 
     than 4 years after the date that the study begins.
     Study on safe opioid prescribing practices (sec. 735)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 728) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the 
     effectiveness of the training provided to military healthcare 
     providers regarding opioid prescribing practices, initiatives 
     in opioid safety, the use of the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs/Department of Defense clinical practice guideline for 
     management of opioid therapy for chronic pain, and other 
     related training.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5701).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     elements of the study and require the Secretary of Defense to 
     consider the feasibility and advisability of further 
     strengthening opioid prescribing practices of healthcare 
     providers of the Department. The Secretary would provide a 
     briefing on the results of the study to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.
     Report on implementation of GAO recommendations (sec. 736)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 726) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees, within 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, on the implementation of 
     recommendations from the Government Accountability Office 
     report entitled ``Actions Needed to Ensure Post-Traumatic 
     Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury Are Considered in 
     Misconduct Separations'' and published on May 16, 2017.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Declassification by Department of Defense of certain 
         incidents of exposure of members of the Armed Forces to 
         toxic substances (sec. 737)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1089) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to declassify 
     documents related to any known incident of exposure to toxic 
     substances that resulted in disability.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct a declassification review of 
     documents related to toxic substance exposure that resulted 
     in the disability of a servicemember.
     Coordination by Veterans Health Administration of efforts to 
         understand effects of burn pits (sec. 738)

       The House recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     TRICARE Advantage demonstration program
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 701) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to establish a 
     demonstration program, not later than 1 year after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, to enable eligible 
     beneficiaries to enroll in Medicare Advantage plans. The 
     Secretary would carry out the demonstration program for a 
     minimum of 5 years. In conducting the demonstration program, 
     the Secretary would competitively select, in market areas 
     with large concentrations of beneficiaries eligible for 
     TRICARE for Life (TFL), one or more Medicare Advantage plans 
     from which the Secretary of Health and Human Services has 
     waived or modified requirements under section 1857(i) of the 
     Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-27(i)). The Secretary 
     would use risk-bearing, capitated contracts with Medicare 
     Advantage organizations to administer the demonstration 
     program, and only those Medicare Advantage plans with minimum 
     quality star ratings of four or higher could participate in 
     the program.
       Under the demonstration program, the Secretary may include 
     medical services provided by military medical treatment 
     facilities and pharmaceutical agents provided by the TRICARE 
     Pharmacy benefits program as additional services provided by 
     the Department. The provision would require enrollment of all 
     applicable eligible individuals located in an area 
     participating in the demonstration program, but individuals 
     could opt out of the program if desired. The provision would 
     require the Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Human 
     Services to determine jointly the appropriate distribution of 
     costs and potential savings that result from the 
     demonstration program. Finally, the provision would require 
     the Secretary to submit: (1) An initial report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, within 1 year of the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, on implementation of the demonstration program; 
     and (2) A final report to the same committees not later than 
     4 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees understand there are over 2 million 
     beneficiaries enrolled in the TFL program. Estimated federal 
     spending on health care services for this population totaled 
     about $16.0 billion last year with Medicare paying about 
     $12.0 billion and the TFL program paying about $4.0 billion. 
     The conferees believe that a TRICARE Advantage demonstration 
     program would result in better health outcomes for TFL 
     beneficiaries with costly chronic health conditions and help 
     to prevent over-utilization of high-cost health care 
     services. The conferees encourage the Department to conduct a 
     TRICARE Advantage demonstration program under its existing 
     demonstration authority.
     Modification of eligibility for TRICARE Reserve Select and 
         TRICARE Retired Reserve of certain members of the reserve 
         components
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 703) that 
     would amend sections 1076d(a) and 1076e(a) of title 10, 
     United States Code, to authorize enrollment in TRICARE 
     Reserve Select or TRICARE Retired Reserve of a servicemember 
     who is enrolled, or is eligible to enroll, in a health 
     benefits plan under chapter 89 of title 5, United States 
     Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Mental health assessments for members of the Armed Forces 
         deployed in support of a contingency operation
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that would 
     amend section 1074m(a)(1)(B) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to provide that servicemembers deployed in support of a 
     contingency operation receive a mental health assessment once 
     during each 180-day period during which the member is 
     deployed.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the military services have ongoing 
     programs to identify, manage, and prevent combat stress-
     related disorders that may arise in a deployed environment. 
     Behavioral health specialists, serving on the battlefield, 
     routinely screen servicemembers for combat stress reactions 
     and refer them for specialty care as needed. The conferees 
     are concerned that requiring additional mid-deployment mental 
     health assessments may disrupt military operations by 
     removing personnel from their operational duties to engage in 
     the assessment process.
     Counseling and treatment for substance use disorders and 
         chronic pain management services for members who separate 
         from the Armed Forces
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that would 
     amend section 1145(a)(6)(B)(i) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to provide 
     counseling and treatment for substance use disorders and 
     chronic pain management services for servicemembers who 
     separate from military service.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Consolidation of cost-sharing requirements under TRICARE 
         Select and TRICARE Prime
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 707) that 
     would amend section 1075 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     consolidate cost-sharing requirements under TRICARE Prime and 
     Select. This provision would eliminate the grandfathering of 
     cost-sharing requirements for beneficiaries enrolled in the 
     TRICARE program prior to January 1, 2018, as authorized in 
     section 701 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). The amendments under 
     this provision would take effect on January 1, 2018.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees voice concern over several unintended 
     consequences resulting from enactment of section 701 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for the Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328), which exempted current beneficiaries 
     (``grandfathered'' beneficiaries) from the requirement to pay 
     an annual enrollment fee as required by the provision. This 
     law resulted in different cost sharing requirements for 
     ``grandfathered'' and

[[Page H8974]]

     ``non-grandfathered'' beneficiaries receiving the same 
     TRICARE benefit. Generally, the beneficiaries who are 
     required to pay the annual enrollment fee have lower 
     copayments for care than the grandfathered beneficiaries who 
     do not pay the enrollment fee. The conferees are concerned 
     that disparate copayments for care will create confusion for 
     health care providers who will have to assess different 
     copayments for each category of beneficiary, as well as 
     unnecessary infrastructure for the Department of Defense 
     (DOD) to maintain two different healthcare benefits.
       The conferees recognize the desirability of creating a 
     single health benefit structure for all beneficiary 
     categories, which would reduce DOD's burden of implementing 
     and maintaining two separate health benefits over several 
     decades in the future. The conferees agree that 
     beneficiaries--Active-Duty servicemembers and their families 
     and retirees and their families--deserve a robust healthcare 
     benefit that provides high quality healthcare in a fiscally 
     prudent manner while enhancing and preserving military 
     readiness. The conferees will closely monitor the 
     implementation of TRICARE's health plan options in 2018 and 
     will expect to enact further changes in law to ensure the 
     military healthcare benefit remains fiscally viable for 
     beneficiaries and for DOD in the future as it improves the 
     quality of care and the experience of care for all 
     beneficiaries.
     Contraception coverage parity under the TRICARE program
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 709) that 
     would amend section 1074d of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require coverage of contraception services for all female 
     covered beneficiaries under the TRICARE program. The 
     provision would prohibit cost-sharing for certain 
     contraception services, including all methods of 
     contraception approved by the Food and Drug Administration, 
     contraceptive care, sterilization procedures, and education 
     and counseling, provided to beneficiaries covered by TRICARE.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Training requirement for health care professionals 
         prescribing opioids for treatment of pain in the Armed 
         Forces
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 715) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that health care 
     professionals, other than pharmacists, authorized to 
     prescribe or dispense opioids for treatment of pain must 
     comply with a 12-hour training requirement, provided by 
     certain civilian pain management and addiction medicine 
     associations, at least once during each 3-year period.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
     One-year extension of pilot program for prescription drug 
         acquisition cost parity in the TRICARE pharmacy benefits 
         program
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 721) that would 
     amend section 743(d) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to extend the 
     authority of the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
     program for prescription drug acquisition cost parity in the 
     TRICARE pharmacy benefits program from October 1, 2018 
     through September 30, 2019.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
     Research of chronic traumatic encephalopathy
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 723) that would 
     authorize $25.0 million for research, development, test, and 
     evaluation for the Defense Health Program to award grants to 
     medical researchers and universities to support research into 
     early detection of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for termination of 
         Vets4Warriors crisis hotline program
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 725) that would 
     prohibit the Department of Defense from obligating or 
     expending funds to terminate the Vets4Warriors crisis hotline 
     program unless the Secretary of Defense submits a report to 
     the congressional defense committees describing a sufficient 
     replacement for the program.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that the Vets4Warriors program was 
     terminated in fiscal year 2015.
     Pilot program on establishment of integrated health care 
         delivery systems
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 725) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, within 1 year of the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, to conduct a pilot program 
     of not less than 5 years duration to establish integrated 
     health care delivery systems among the military health 
     system, other federal health systems, and private sector 
     integrated health systems. In consultation with the 
     Secretaries of Veterans Affairs and Health and Human 
     Services, the Secretary would establish a multi-disciplinary 
     task force to develop a plan to implement the pilot program. 
     Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the task force would submit an implementation plan 
     for the pilot program to the Secretary that would: (1) Create 
     high-value integrated health systems; (2) Empower health care 
     providers with real-time advanced information technology 
     solutions; (3) Empower patients with transparent information 
     on health care costs, quality outcomes, and safety within 
     health care provider networks; and (4) Provide incentives to 
     patients and health care providers to prevent overuse of low-
     value health care services. The provision would require the 
     Secretary to submit a report on the implementation plan to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives not later than 270 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act. Finally, the Secretary would 
     submit a final report on the pilot program to the same 
     committees not later than 4 years after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees strongly encourage the Departments of 
     Defense and Veterans Affairs to pursue innovative solutions 
     to improve access to care, the quality and safety of care, 
     and beneficiaries' health outcomes by establishing enduring 
     partnerships with high-performing private sector health 
     systems.
     Authorization of intergovernmental agreements for the 
         provision of health screenings
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 727) that would 
     amend section 2679(e)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize intergovernmental agreements to provide health 
     screenings for conditions related to perfluorooctanesulfonic 
     acid and perfluorooctanoic acid in communities near formerly 
     closed defense sites identified by the Secretary of Defense 
     as sources of those acids.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.

        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 729) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to authorize grants to 
     medical researchers and universities to support research on 
     improving the detection and diagnosis of tick-borne diseases.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
     Report
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 730) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     Congress, for each of the fiscal years 2018 through 2021, on 
     activities, programs, priority areas, and current policy and 
     planning documents with respect to infectious disease.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees support the Department of Defense's efforts 
     to improve the ability of partner nations to respond to the 
     spread of naturally occurring and dangerous emerging 
     infectious disease outbreaks. These programs contribute to 
     the Department's overall Strategy for Countering Weapons of 
     Mass Destruction, including biological attack and pandemics, 
     since mitigating the spread of diseases early in an outbreak 
     enhances global health security and saves lives. The 
     conferees encourage the Department to continue such efforts 
     to minimize risk to our military forces and families.
     Provision of support by Department of Defense to Department 
         of Veterans Affairs regarding electronic health record 
         system
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 731) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to support the Secretary 
     of Veterans Affairs (VA) in the development and 
     implementation of an electronic health record system. The 
     provision would require the secretaries to conduct an annual 
     review of their efforts to achieve complete interoperability 
     between their electronic health record (EHR) systems and to 
     submit jointly an annual report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services and the Committees on Veterans Affairs of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives not later than 60 days after 
     completing the annual review required under this provision. 
     The requirements to conduct an annual review and to provide 
     an annual report would terminate on the date on which the 
     secretaries certify to the same committees that the EHRs of 
     the two departments are completely interoperable.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees support the decision by the VA to adopt the 
     EHR of the Department of Defense (DOD), MHS Genesis, which 
     consists of a commercial off-the-shelf EHR system, Cerner 
     Millennium. The conferees note that the VA is working closely 
     with DOD to leverage the platform, architecture, tools, and 
     processes established for MHS Genesis to ensure successful 
     implementation of its new EHR throughout VA's hospitals and 
     clinics. The conferees expect the two departments to continue 
     their ongoing extensive collaboration to ensure complete 
     interoperability between their EHRs.
     Increased collaboration with NIH to combat triple negative 
         breast cancer
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 732) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to collaborate with the 
     National Institutes of Health on triple negative breast 
     cancer research.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

        The House recedes.
     Encouraging transition of military medical professionals into 
         employment with Veterans Health Administration
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 733) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish a program to 
     encourage a servicemember with a health care military 
     occupational specialty to seek employment with the Veterans 
     Health Administration upon discharge or release from the 
     Armed Forces.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
     Prohibition on conduct of certain medical research and 
         development projects
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 733) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of Defense and each service 
     secretary from funding or conducting a medical research and 
     development project unless the secretary concerned submits a 
     written certification to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives that the project 
     is directly designed to protect, enhance, or restore the 
     health and safety of members of the Armed Forces. 
     Additionally, the secretary concerned could not initiate 
     the funding or conduct of any such project until 90 days 
     after submission of written certification to the 
     committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees are concerned with the amount of 
     congressional funding for medical research in the Department 
     of Defense's (DOD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research 
     Program (CDMRP), and the pressure these increased funds 
     inadvertently place on other defense priorities as a result 
     of budget caps. Since 1992, Congress has appropriated over 
     $11.7 billion for medical research administered by the 
     CDMRP--4,000 percent growth since 1992--but not all of that 
     medical research is directly relevant to military service. 
     Annual funding for CDMRP has more than doubled since 2013, 
     when budget caps mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 
     (Public Law 112-25) took effect. This funding, neither 
     authorized by Congress nor requested by DOD, is increasing at 
     a time when other vital programs critical to the nation's 
     defense are dangerously underfunded. As long as the budget 
     caps remain in place under the Budget Control Act, additional 
     funds placed in the CDRMP will directly compete with other 
     budget priorities in the Department. While the conferees 
     agree that DOD has a proper and vital role to play in medical 
     research related to combat readiness, especially in areas 
     like prosthetics, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord 
     injury, additional funding for medical research unrelated to 
     unique military needs should be allocated elsewhere in the 
     federal government. Therefore, the conferees encourage 
     funding only those medical research and development projects 
     that protect and enhance military readiness or restore the 
     health and safety of members of the Armed Forces. 
     Furthermore, the conferees encourage the Department to 
     develop a strategic plan for all medical research to ensure 
     synergy and efficiency across the military departments as 
     well as other federal agencies.
     Inclusion of gambling disorder in health assessments and 
         related research efforts of the Department of Defense
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 736) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to incorporate medical 
     screening questions specific to gambling disorder into the 
     Annual Periodic Health Assessment (DD Form 3024) conducted by 
     the Department for members of the Armed Forces. Additionally, 
     the provision would require the Secretary to incorporate 
     questions on gambling disorder into its ongoing research 
     survey efforts.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.

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

             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management

     Statements of purpose for Department of Defense acquisition 
         (sec. 801)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 804) that 
     would create consistency between the Defense Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation and current Department of Defense 
     policies and instructions with respect to the purpose of the 
     defense acquisition system. The committee notes that the 
     Department of Defense is constantly forced to balance 
     equities related to the near and far term defense needs as 
     well as defense and national security goals and broader 
     national and public policy goals. The Department also 
     struggles to align goals relative to improving the speed and 
     response to threats with public transparency and fiscal 
     stewardship and in executing a growing set of missions within 
     a defined budget. The committee remains concerned that these 
     balances and goals sometimes drive the Department into 
     practices that drive up costs, slow down the acquisition 
     process, and result in sub-optimal capabilities being 
     developed and deployed to operational forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Management of intellectual property matters within the 
         Department of Defense (sec. 802)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would 
     create a small cadre of experts in intellectual property (IP) 
     that would advise, assist, and provide resources to program 
     offices as they develop their IP strategies and negotiate 
     with industry. This provision would also establish a 
     centralized Office of Intellectual Property within the 
     Department of Defense to standardize the Department's 
     approach toward obtaining technical data, promulgate policy 
     on IP, oversee the cadre of IP experts, and serve as a single 
     point of contact for industry on IP matters. Finally, this 
     provision would add IP positions to the acquisition workforce 
     and would revise the training provided to the acquisition 
     workforce on IP matters.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to establish an appropriate organizational 
     structure to support the cadre of intellectual property 
     experts.
        The conferees intend the Department of Defense to leverage 
     the designation of the intellectual property workforce as 
     part of the acquisition workforce to focus significant 
     attention and resources on the development and 
     professionalization of the workforce, for example by using 
     resources from the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development 
     Fund to expand access to training and educational 
     opportunities.
        The conferees expect the Under Secretary to foster 
     communications with industry and designate a central point of 
     contact within the Department of Defense for communications 
     with contractors on intellectual property matters. As part of 
     such communications, the Department of Defense shall 
     regularly engage with appropriately representative entities, 
     including large and small businesses, traditional and 
     nontraditional Government contractors, prime contractors and 
     subcontractors, and maintenance repair organizations.
     Performance of incurred cost audits (sec. 803)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to adhere to commercial 
     standards for risk and materiality when auditing costs 
     incurred under flexibly priced contracts; would authorize the 
     Secretary of Defense to use qualified private auditors under 
     certain conditions; sets new targets for timely completion of 
     incurred cost audits; and would require that the Defense 
     Contract Audit Agency undergo a peer review by a commercial 
     auditor; and would direct a review by the Comptroller General 
     of the United States evaluating the Department's performance 
     of incurred cost audits, to include the use of qualified 
     private auditors.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with amendments that increase the 
     Department's flexibility to use multi-year auditing; 
     encourage the Department to study and incorporate materiality 
     standards; incorporate lessons from civilian agencies' use of 
     private auditors; clarify the applicability and use of 
     professional auditing standards for both conducting incurred 
     cost audits and the peer review of the Defense Contract Audit 
     Agency; and for the use of qualified private auditors, 
     explicitly address potential conflicts of interest, 
     independence, and appropriate use of data.
        The conferees also direct the Director of the Defense 
     Contract Audit Agency, in consultation with the Under 
     Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to brief the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, within 180 days after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, to contain the following elements:
       (1) The current education, certifications, and 
     qualifications of the Defense Contract Audit Agency 
     workforce, by supervisory and non-supervisory levels and type 
     of position.
       (2) Shortfalls (if any) in education, qualification, or 
     training in the Defense Contract Audit Agency workforce, by 
     supervisory and non-supervisory levels and type of position, 
     and the reasons for those shortfalls.
       (3) The link (if any) between Defense Contract Audit Agency 
     workforce skill and experience gaps and the Agency's backlog 
     of audits.
       (4) The link (if any) between the effectiveness of Defense 
     Contract Audit Agency regional directors and their education, 
     certifications, and qualifications.
       (5) The number of Defense Contract Audit Agency auditors 
     who have relevant private sector experience, including from 
     industry exchanges while at the Defense Contract Audit Agency 
     and from prior employment experiences, and the perspective of 
     the Defense Contract Audit Agency on the benefits of those 
     experiences.
       (6) Ongoing efforts and future plans by the Defense 
     Contract Audit Agency to improve the professionalization of 
     its audit workforce, including changes in hiring, training, 
     required certifications or qualifications, compensation 
     structure, and increased opportunities for industry exchanges 
     or rotations.
     Repeal of certain auditing requirements (sec. 804)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 874) that would 
     amend Section 190 of title 10, United States Code, as 
     proposed to be added by section 820(b)(1) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328; 130 Stat. 2274), by striking subsection (f).

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Increased simplified acquisition threshold (sec. 805)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 812) that 
     would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     set the simplified acquisition threshold at $250,000 for the 
     Department of Defense in order to reflect a modest 
     increase in inflation due to the erosion of purchasing 
     power under the current threshold.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would increase 
     the simplified acquisition threshold to $250,000 government-
     wide.
        The conferees note that this change will expand 
     opportunities for Small and Disadvantaged Businesses, Women-
     Owned Small Businesses, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small 
     Business, and businesses in Historically Underutilized 
     Business Zones to contract with the Department of Defense to 
     provide innovation and rapid solutions and services to the 
     Department. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a report, no later than January 1, 2020, to the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, 
     the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, the Committee 
     on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and 
     Governmental Affairs of the Senate describing the increased 
     participation of small and disadvantaged businesses and 
     competition that has resulted from this change in law.
     Requirements related to the micro-purchase threshold (sec. 
         806)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10804) 
     that would amend Section 1902(a)(1) of title 41, United 
     States Code to increase the micro-purchase threshold to 
     $10,000. This provision would also prohibit the use of 
     convenience checks for amounts greater than one half of the 
     micro-purchase threshold.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Process for enhanced supply chain scrutiny (sec. 807)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 875) that would 
     require the Director of National Intelligence to develop a 
     list of telecommunications contractors who have been found to 
     have knowingly assisted or facilitated a cyber attack carried 
     out or on behalf of the government of the Democratic People's 
     Republic of Korea and would prohibit the Secretary of Defense 
     from entering into a contract with any entity on this list.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to establish a process for enhancing 
     scrutiny of acquisition decisions in order to improve the 
     integration of supply chain risk management into the overall 
     acquisition decision cycle.
     Defense policy advisory committee on technology (sec. 808)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a 
     committee of senior executives from U.S. firms in the 
     national technology and industrial base who would meet with 
     the Secretary, the secretaries of the military departments, 
     and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on at least an 
     annual basis from fiscal years 2018 to 2022. This committee 
     would be exempt from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
     U.S.C. App.) due to the sensitive nature of its work.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Chief Management Officer (CMO) to act as the point of 
     coordination for committee meetings.
        The conferees recognize the need for the key stakeholders 
     in the Department to have the ability to leverage expertise 
     in the private sector, especially when discussing current 
     trends in technology, and how those technologies may threaten 
     U.S. national security. While those discussions can happen 
     informally, the conferees believe that the ability to convene 
     advisors and share information and views on larger technology 
     trends that will affect strategy and policy for the 
     Department is of vital importance in the future.
        The conferees also note that in designating the Chief 
     Management Officer as the point of coordination for this 
     advisory committee, the intent is not to give them the 
     authority to approve or deny requests by other offices to 
     convene committee meetings, or in any way to prevent access 
     to the committee by other offices within the Department. The 
     conferees recognize the need to have a process for managing 
     the demands on this group, including prioritizing the needs 
     of the Secretary of Defense, the secretaries of the military 
     departments and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 
     However, the conferees expect the CMO to develop a process 
     and guidance for requesting support from this committee that 
     can be made available throughout the Department, as well as 
     encouragement from a broad stakeholder base to make use of 
     the services of this committee.
     Report on extension of development, acquisition, and 
         sustainment authorities of the military departments to 
         the United States Special Operations Command (sec. 809)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a review 
     of the acquisition authorities available to the secretaries 
     of the military departments and the acquisition executives of 
     the military departments to determine the feasibility and 
     advisability of providing such authorities to the Commander 
     of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and 
     the acquisition executive of the Command for the development, 
     acquisition, and sustainment of special operations-peculiar 
     technology, equipment, and services.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Technical and conforming amendments related to program 
         management provisions (sec. 810)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that 
     would make technical and conforming amendments related to 
     program management provisions from the National Defense 
     Authorization Act of 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Subtitle B--Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, 
                            and Limitations

     Modifications to cost or pricing data and reporting 
         requirements (sec. 811)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 
     amend section 2306a of title 10, United States Code, and 
     section 3502 of title 41, United States Code, to raise 
     contract dollar thresholds that require submission of 
     certified cost and pricing data. The threshold for non-
     competitive prime contracts, modifications of such contracts, 
     subcontracts, and modifications of subcontracts would 
     increase from $500,000 to $2.5 million, while the threshold 
     for modifications to legacy contracts would increase from 
     $100,000 to $750,000. The section would further amend section 
     2306a of title 10, United States Code, to require offerors to 
     submit other than certified cost or pricing data sufficient 
     to determine price reasonableness when certified cost or 
     pricing data is not required. This section also would amend 
     section 2313a of title 10, United States Code, to revise 
     reporting requirements of the Defense Contract Audit Agency 
     (DCAA) to provide more clarity on the cost effectiveness of 
     different types of audits. It would require DCAA to report 
     separately for incurred cost, forward pricing, and other 
     audits with regard to the number and dollar value of audits 
     completed and pending, sustained questioned costs, the costs 
     of performing audits, and the return on investment of 
     conducting audits. This section also would change the 
     inflation calculation for the thresholds for certified cost 
     and pricing data, as well as covered contracts related to 
     allowable costs, to be consistent with the inflation 
     methodology in section 1908 of title 41, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     813) that would amend section 2306a of title 10, United 
     States Code, to increase the threshold for certified cost or 
     pricing data and truth in negotiation requirements to $1.0 
     million.
       The Senate amendment contained another similar provision 
     (sec. 894) that would establish a standard definition for the 
     Defense Contract Audit Agency's (DCAA) reporting on its 
     backlog. In future reporting, DCAA should include any 
     individual incurred cost audit that has not been completed 
     within 18 months after receipt of a qualified proposal as 
     part of the incurred cost audit backlog.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     the Senate provision related to DCAA reporting and would 
     change the threshold for non-competitive prime contracts, 
     modifications of such contracts, subcontracts, and 
     modifications of subcontracts would increase from $500,000 to 
     $2.0 million.
     Applicability of cost and pricing data certification 
         requirements (sec. 812)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 866) that 
     would amend section 2306a(b)(1) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to clarify that additional certification is not 
     required for a foreign military sale where there is already 
     an existing U.S. Government contract for the same or similar 
     item or service for which the U.S. Government has current 
     cost and pricing data and insights into the reasonableness of 
     price.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would amend the 
     pilot program on foreign military sales authorized by Section 
     830(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2286) to add in a 
     waiver of cost or pricing certification requirements under 
     section 2306a(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, if the 
     Secretary of Defense determines that the Federal Government 
     has sufficient data and information regarding the 
     reasonableness of the price. The amendment would further 
     clarify that the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     State shall jointly determine whether a product is 
     considered to be a similar product for purposes of the 
     pilot program.
     Sunset of certain provisions relating to the procurement of 
         goods other than United States goods (sec. 813)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 862) that would 
     amend section 2534 of title 10,

[[Page H8977]]

     United States Code, and would require certain auxiliary ship 
     components to be procured from a manufacturer in the national 
     technology and industrial base.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     863) that would amend section 2534 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to sunset miscellaneous limitations on the procurement 
     of goods other than United States goods at the close of 
     September 30, 2018.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would apply the 
     sunset of certain provisions relating to the procurement of 
     goods to chemical weapons antidotes and photovoltaic devices 
     only.
     Comptroller General report on health and safety records (sec. 
         814)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 830) that 
     would require contracting officers, prior to awarding or 
     renewing covered contacts, to consider any identified 
     violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 
     or equivalent State laws by the offeror or covered 
     subcontractors using publicly available information. 
     Contractors would have the right to protest bids and appeal 
     actions taken pursuant to this provision. The provision would 
     have also required a Comptroller General report on health and 
     safety record of defense contractors.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment to require a 
     Comptroller General report on health and safety record of 
     defense contractors.
        The conferees note that Federal Acquisition Regulations 
     state that ``purchases shall be made from, and contracts 
     shall be awarded to, responsible prospective contractors 
     only,'' and that to be ``determined responsible'', a 
     prospective contractor must ``have the necessary 
     organization, experience, accounting and operational 
     controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them 
     (including, as appropriate, such elements as production 
     control procedures, property control systems, quality 
     assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to 
     materials to be produced or services to be performed by the 
     prospective contractor and subcontractors)''. The conferees 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure that contracting 
     officials award contracts consistent with federal acquisition 
     regulations, including those required safety elements.
        The conferees further note a senior DOD official committed 
     to ``looking into how the Navy tracks and monitors workplace 
     safety violations at the shipyards that it's doing business 
     with,'' and looks forward to being informed of the results of 
     that review, which will support efforts to ensure that the 
     men and women in the industrial base who support operational 
     forces are employed in the safest possible workplaces.
        The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the 
     congressional defense committees on current policies to track 
     incidences of health and safety violations at defense 
     contractors; whether contracting officers are currently 
     directed to consider such information in the course of making 
     responsibility determinations before a contract award; and 
     how the Department measures whether such information was in 
     fact taken into consideration, no later than one year after 
     the date of enactment of this Act.
     Limitation on unilateral definitization (sec. 815)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would 
     amend section 2326 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the approval of the agency head before a Department 
     of Defense contracting officer can unilaterally definitize 
     the specifications, terms, or price of undefinitized 
     contractual actions (UCAs) valued greater than $1.0 billion. 
     Currently, departmental regulations allow contracting 
     officers to unilaterally determine reasonable prices and 
     applicable clauses governing definitized contracts, with 
     approval from the head of contracting activity.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     823) that would apply limitations and a notice and wait 
     period to all undefinitized contractual actions of $50.0 
     million or greater. Such limitations would require that if an 
     agreement is not reached on contractual terms, 
     specifications, and price by a date certain, the contracting 
     officer may not unilaterally definitize those terms, 
     specifications, and price over the objection of the 
     contractor until the head of the agency approves the 
     definitization in writing, the contracting office provides 
     the written approval to the contractor, and the head of the 
     agency notifies the congressional defense committees of the 
     approval. The contract modification unilaterally definitizing 
     the action should not take effect until 60 calendar days 
     after the congressional defense committees have been 
     notified.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     dollar threshold to $50.0 million and modify the approval 
     authority to the service acquisition executive for the 
     military department that awarded the contract or the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment if the 
     contract was awarded by a Defense Agency or other component 
     of the Department of Defense.
     Amendment to sustainment reviews (sec. 816)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 854) that would 
     amend section 2441 of title 10, United States Code, 
     pertaining to sustainment reviews of major weapon systems to 
     require the Secretaries of the military departments to make 
     the results of sustainment reviews and supporting 
     documentation available to the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
     Use of program income by eligible entities that carry out 
         procurement technical assistance programs (sec. 817)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 853) that would 
     amend section 2414 of title 10, United States Code, to give 
     Procurement Technical Assistance Centers limited authority to 
     carry over program income into the next fiscal year to 
     further program objectives.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees expect that this authority will not result 
     in excessive fees to small businesses for procurement 
     technical assistance services.
     Enhanced post-award debriefing rights (sec. 818)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, no later than 120 
     days after the date of enactment of this Act, to revise the 
     Department of Defense Supplement to the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation to require that all mandatory post-award 
     debriefings must provide details and comprehensive statements 
     of the agency's rating for each evaluation criterion and of 
     the agency's overall award decision. The revision would 
     encourage the release of all information that would otherwise 
     be releasable in the course of a bid protest challenge to an 
     award to protect the confidential and proprietary information 
     of other offerors. This provision would allow for the 
     opportunity for follow-up questions for a disappointed 
     offeror within two business days of receiving a post-award 
     debriefing to be answered in writing by the agency within 
     five business days.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that removes the bid 
     protest decision timeline modification and requires a 
     threshold of contract awards in excess of $100.0 million for 
     a mandatory disclosure of the agency's written source 
     selection award determination and an option for small 
     businesses or nontraditional contractors with contracts in 
     excess of $10.0 million but less than $100.0 million to 
     request such disclosure.
     Amendments relating to information technology (sec. 819)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 873) that would 
     eliminate the sunset of certain provisions relating to 
     information technology, extend the sunset relating to the 
     Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, and for other 
     purposes.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
     Change to definition of subcontract in certain circumstances 
         (sec. 820)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859) that would 
     amend section 1906(c)(1) of title 41, United States Code, to 
     make the definition of subcontract in that section consistent 
     with the definition in section 2375 of title 10, United 
     States Code.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Amendment relating to applicability of inflation adjustments 
         (sec. 821)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 860) that would 
     modify section 1908(d) of title 41, United States Code, to 
     ensure 5-year inflation adjustments apply consistently to all 
     subcontractors. Currently, inflation adjustments impact only 
     prime contractors, so that subcontractors must maintain a 
     compliance requirement for some contracts but not others.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Use of lowest price technically acceptable source selection 
         process (sec. 822)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 856) that would 
     amend section 813 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to require the 
     Secretary of Defense to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation Supplement to require that lowest price 
     technically acceptable source selection criteria are only 
     used in situations in which the Department would realize no 
     or minimal additional innovation or future technological 
     advantage, and, with respect to a contract for procurement of 
     goods, the goods procured are predominantly expendable in 
     nature, nontechnical, or have a short life expectancy. The 
     provision would also require the avoidance of the use of 
     lowest price technically acceptable source selection criteria 
     when procuring certain types of electronic test and 
     measurement equipment.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     825).
        The House recedes with an amendment that makes technical 
     clarifications.
     Exemption from design-build selection procedures (sec. 823)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that would 
     amend section 2305a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     exempt solicitations issued pursuant to an indefinite 
     delivery/indefinite quantity contract from the

[[Page H8978]]

     statutory limitation on the number of offerors that may 
     proceed to step-two of the procurement selection process.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
     Contract closeout authority (sec. 824)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 828) that 
     would amend section 836(b)(1) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     to extend contract closeout authority to those contracts 
     entered into at least 17 years before the current fiscal 
     year.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Elimination of cost underruns as factor in calculation of 
         penalties for cost overruns (sec. 825)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 827) that 
     would amend section 828(b) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 10 
     U.S.C. 2430 note) to remove the use of cost underruns to 
     offset cost overruns and avoid the cost overrun penalty, 
     beginning in fiscal year 2018.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     maximum penalty to not exceed $50.0 million per service and 
     to clarify the accounts to which the penalties are applied.
     Modification to annual meeting requirement of Configuration 
         Steering Boards (sec. 826)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 858) that would 
     amend section 814 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417) 
     to remove the requirement for a Configuration Steering Board 
     to meet annually to review an acquisition program if the 
     senior acquisition executive determines in writing that there 
     were no changes to the requirements of the acquisition 
     program during the preceding year.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
     Pilot program on payment of costs for denied Government 
         Accountability Office bid protests (sec. 827)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 821) that 
     would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require contractors who file bid protests with the Government 
     Accountability Office on a contract with the Department of 
     Defense to pay to the Department of Defense costs incurred 
     for processing a protest at the Government Accountability 
     Office and the Department of Defense when such a protest is 
     filed by a party with revenues in excess of $100.0 million 
     during the previous year where all of the elements of such 
     protest are denied in an opinion by the Government 
     Accountability Office.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would create a 
     three-year Department of Defense pilot program to begin two 
     years after the date of the enactment of this Act. The 
     triggering dollar threshold is also amended from $100.0 
     million to $250.0 million.

 Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs

     Revisions to definition of major defense acquisition program 
         (sec. 831)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 835) that 
     would amend section 430(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to exclude defense business systems and major automated 
     information systems from the definition of major defense 
     acquisition program.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
     Prohibition on use of lowest price technically acceptable 
         source selection process for major defense acquisition 
         programs (sec. 832)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 836) that 
     would amend chapter 144 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     add a new section that would prohibit the use of a lowest 
     price technically acceptable source selection process for the 
     development contract of a major defense acquisition program 
     (MDAP), beginning with programs requested for fiscal year 
     2019. The Secretary of Defense would be required to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees a notification of the 
     source selection process that the Department of Defense plans 
     to use for the development contract of an MDAP, with the 
     budget for which authority is requested for the development 
     contract of an MDAP, or within 30 days before release of the 
     request for proposals for the development contract.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     technical amendments and limits the applicability of the 
     provision to engineering and manufacturing development 
     contracts.
     Role of the Chief of the armed force in material development 
         decision and acquisition system milestones (sec. 833)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 837) that 
     would amend section 2547(b) of title 10, United States Code 
     to include the Services Chiefs in the material development 
     decisions and acquisition system milestone decisions with 
     respect to major defense acquisition programs in their 
     respective service.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     authority of Service Chiefs to concur on joint programs.
     Requirement to emphasize reliability and maintainability in 
         weapon system design (sec. 834)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would 
     emphasize reliability and maintainability (R&M) in the system 
     design of a major defense acquisition program (MDAP). First, 
     the section would require the Secretary of Defense to include 
     R&M as attributes of the existing key performance parameter 
     on sustainment during the requirements development process. 
     Second, when contracting for engineering and manufacturing 
     development (EMD) or production of an MDAP, the program 
     manager would be required to include clearly defined and 
     measurable requirements for engineering activities and design 
     specifications for R&M in the contract solicitation and 
     contract terms unless he or she determines R&M should not be 
     a contract requirement. Third, the section would require the 
     Secretary to encourage the use of objective R&M criteria in 
     the source selection process. Fourth, the section would 
     authorize the use of incentive fees and would require the use 
     of recovery options when practicable to encourage contractor 
     performance in R&M for EMD and production contracts. The 
     Department would be able to exercise incentive fees and 
     recovery options until the date of acceptance of the last 
     item under the contract. Finally, the section would establish 
     a program through which program managers would compete for 
     additional funding to invest in R&M during the EMD or 
     production of an MDAP to reduce future operating and support 
     costs.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would address 
     technical and implementation concerns and provide additional 
     flexibility to the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     appropriate incentives.
     Licensing of appropriate intellectual property to support 
         major weapon systems (sec. 835)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to work with contractors to 
     determine prices for technical data the Department plans to 
     acquire or license before selecting a contractor for the 
     engineering and manufacturing development phase or the 
     production phase of a major weapon system. Additionally, this 
     provision would encourage program managers to negotiate with
     industry to obtain the custom set of technical data necessary 
     to support each major defense acquisition program rather 
     than, as a default approach, seeking greater rights to more 
     extensive, detailed technical data than is necessary.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Codification of requirements pertaining to assessment, 
         management, and control of operating and support costs 
         for major weapon systems (sec. 836)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that would 
     codify section 832 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 10 U.S.C. 2430 note) 
     on assessing and controlling operating and support costs for 
     major weapons systems.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with technical amendments and an 
     amendment that would allow the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment to direct the military 
     departments to collect and retain information necessary to 
     support the database on operating and support costs.
     Should-cost management (sec. 837)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, to amend the Defense 
     Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation to provide 
     for the appropriate use of the should-cost review process in 
     a manner that is transparent, objective, and provides for the 
     efficiency of the systems acquisition process in the 
     Department of Defense. The regulations required would 
     incorporate, at a minimum, the following elements: (1) a 
     description of the feature distinguishing a should-cost 
     review and the analysis of program direct and indirect costs; 
     (2) establishment of a process for communicating with the 
     contractor the elements of a proposed should-cost review; (3) 
     a method for ensuring that identified should-cost savings 
     opportunities are based on accurate, complete, and current 
     information and are associated with specific engineering or 
     business changes that can be quantified and tracked; (4) a 
     description of the training, skills, and experience, 
     including cross functional experience, that Department of 
     Defense and contractor officials carrying out a should-cost 
     review should process; (5) a method for ensuring appropriate 
     collaboration with the contractor throughout the review 
     process; (6) establishment of review process requirements 
     that provide for sufficient analysis and minimize any impact 
     on program schedule; and (7) a requirement that any separate 
     audit or review carried out in

[[Page H8979]]

     connection with the should-cost review be provided to the 
     prime contractor under the program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would delete 
     element seven on the requirement to provide any separate 
     audit or review carried out in connection with the should-
     cost review to the prime contractor under the program.
     Improvements to test and evaluation processes and tools (sec. 
         838)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that would 
     amend sections 2366b and 2366c of title 10, United States 
     Code, to require an assessment of the sufficiency of the 
     developmental test plan and resources for each major defense 
     acquisition program (MDAP) be included in the ``acquisition 
     scorecards'' that were created in section 808 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
     technical clarifications.
     Enhancements to transparency in test and evaluation processes 
         and data (sec. 839)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would 
     amend section 139 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) to 
     document specific circumstances that require the addition of 
     smaller programs to the OT&E oversight list and to summarize 
     those circumstances in the annual OT&E report. This provision 
     would also amend section 2399 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to require the Director of OT&E to provide data in test 
     reports on how the capabilities of new systems being tested 
     compare to those of legacy systems. This provision would also 
     amend section 139 of title 10, United States Code, to enhance 
     the opportunity of the military departments to comment on the 
     annual OT&E report to ensure that OT&E information is 
     complete, accurate, and timely. The section also would 
     require improved transparency of T&E cost data to enable 
     oversight entities to better evaluate the adequacy of a 
     program's T&E plans and resources. It would also require the 
     Department of Defense to develop an enterprise approach to 
     T&E knowledge management to leverage T&E data across 
     programs. The Director of the Test Resource Management Center 
     and the senior Department official responsible for 
     developmental testing would be required to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees, within 1 year after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, on the Department's 
     enterprise approach.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     Service Secretaries and heads of Defense Agencies to provide 
     a description of the performance of the items or components 
     evaluated by the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation 
     in relation to comparable legacy items or components. The 
     amendment would also clarify the role of the Director of the 
     Test Resource Management Center and the Director of Cost 
     Assessment and Program Evaluation in collection and analysis 
     of test and evaluation cost data.
       The conferees note the importance of developing an 
     enterprise approach to knowledge management to leverage T&E 
     data across programs to improve program outcomes. The 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, working through 
     the Director of the Test Resource Management Center and the 
     senior Department of Defense official with responsibility for 
     developmental testing to provide to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the development of an approach for 
     managing test and evaluation knowledge across the entire 
     Department of Defense.
       The report shall include the following elements, along with 
     other elements as directed by the Secretary:
       (A) The detailed concepts, requirements, technologies, 
     methodologies, and architecture necessary for an enterprise 
     approach to knowledge management for test and evaluation, 
     including data, data analysis tools, and modeling and 
     simulation capabilities;
       (B) Resources needed to develop and adopt an enterprise 
     approach to knowledge management for test and evaluation;
       (C) Roles and responsibilities of various Department of 
     Defense entities to develop and adopt an enterprise approach 
     to knowledge management for test and evaluation;
       (D) Time frames required to develop and adopt an enterprise 
     approach to knowledge management for test and evaluation; and
       (E) A description of pilot studies ongoing at the time of 
     the date of the enactment of this Act or previously conducted 
     related to developing an enterprise approach to test and 
     evaluation knowledge management, including results of the 
     pilot studies (if available) and lessons learned.
       The report should be transmitted to the Congress no later 
     than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act.

        Subtitle D--Provisions Relating to Acquisition Workforce

     Enhancements to the civilian program management workforce 
         (sec. 841)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to implement a new career 
     development program for highly qualified, competitively 
     selected civilian employees to increase the pool of 
     experienced civilian employees qualified to serve as program 
     managers for major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs). The 
     Secretary would be required to provide a design for the 
     program to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives within one year after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act. This provision would also 
     require an independent study of personnel policies and 
     incentives needed to attract, retain, and hold accountable 
     civilian and military program managers for the largest and 
     most complex acquisition programs in the Department. The 
     study would be required to be completed within nine months 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, and the 
     Secretary would be required to provide the study to the 
     congressional defense committees within 30 days thereafter.
       The Senate contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add to the 
     analysis on benefits an overview of any pay banding and 
     bonuses offered to qualified civilian employees.
     Credits to Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce 
         Development Fund (sec. 842)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 844) that 
     would amend section 1705(d)(2)(D) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to clarify that the Secretary of Defense may adjust the 
     amount for a fiscal year to an amount that is not more than 
     $600.0 million and not less than $400.0 million if the 
     Secretary determines that the amount is greater or less than 
     reasonably needed for the purposes of the Department of 
     Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund for such 
     fiscal year to assist with acquisition workforce planning and 
     development.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Improvements to the hiring and training of the acquisition 
         workforce (sec. 843)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that would 
     amend section 1705 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the use of the Defense Acquisition Workforce 
     Development Fund to pay salaries of personnel to manage the 
     Fund. The section also would require the Comptroller General 
     of the United States to submit a report to the congressional 
     defense committees on the effectiveness of existing hiring 
     flexibilities for the acquisition workforce, as well as the 
     need for acquisition training for personnel who work in 
     acquisition programs but are not formally considered part of 
     the acquisition workforce. The provision would require the 
     Department of Defense to evaluate gaps in knowledge of 
     industry operations, industry motivation, and business acumen 
     in the acquisition workforce, and would require the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
     submit a report on this evaluation to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by 
     December 31, 2018. Lastly, the provision would require the 
     Director of the Defense Contract Audit Agency to provide a 
     briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives, not later than 180 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, on strategies to 
     enhance the professionalization of the Agency's workforce to 
     meet increasing demands.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement for the briefing by the Director of the Defense 
     Contract Audit Agency and would add additional study elements 
     for the reviews to be conducted by the Comptroller General of 
     the United States and the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment.
     Extension and modifications to acquisition demonstration 
         project (sec. 844)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that would 
     amend section 1762 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     extend, through December 2023, the Acquisition Demonstration 
     (AcqDemo) personnel demonstration project that was 
     established in section 4308 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106). 
     This provision also would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     develop an implementation strategy to address potential 
     AcqDemo improvements that were identified in a recent RAND 
     assessment, and to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the 
     House of Representatives on the implementation strategy 
     within 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1103) that would amend section 1762 of title 10, United 
     States Code, to provide a permanent authority for personnel 
     programs for employees in the Department of Defense civilian 
     acquisition workforce and supporting personnel assigned to 
     work directly with that workforce. The provision would also 
     increase the number of participants from 120,000 to 130,000.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase 
     the number of participants from 120,000 to 130,000 to account 
     for the increasing need to train individuals managing 
     acquisition programs in cyber deterrence, detection, and 
     response.

          Subtitle E--Provisions Relating to Commercial Items

     Procurement through commercial e-commerce portals (sec. 846)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would 
     require to contract with multiple commercial online 
     marketplaces for the procurement of certain commercial-off-
     the-shelf (COTS) products; directs the use of certain 
     criteria to select providers, including the ability to screen 
     suppliers in accordance with law and regulation; and would 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     report on small business participation in the marketplaces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require an 
     implementation plan and a corresponding review by the 
     Comptroller General of the United States, increase the 
     General Services Administration's flexibility to implement 
     through a phased approach, direct the submission of requests 
     for exceptions, and limits initial implementation to 
     procurement of items in contract amounts below the Simplified 
     Acquisition Threshold.
       The conferees note that this effort to align the 
     government's requirements with available commercial e-
     commerce portals provides unique opportunities and will pose 
     challenges during implementation. It will require diligence 
     in uncovering all of the potential implications, to include a 
     full accounting of existing business processes and procedures 
     that currently comprise those in place to conduct the 
     procurements as well as those in place to comply with 
     existing law and regulation. It will also require a robust 
     understanding of the technical features of the commercial e-
     commerce portals.
       The conferees encourage the Administrator, General 
     Services, to resist the urge to make changes to the existing 
     features, terms and conditions, and business models of 
     available e-commerce portals, but rather demonstrate the 
     government's willingness to adapt the way it does business. 
     Pursuant to a diligent review of existing law and regulation, 
     the conferees direct the Administrator to be judicious in 
     requesting exceptions.
       The conferees further direct the Administrator to take 
     great care in selecting which federal agencies and 
     departments participate in the initial rollout phase with the 
     expectation that the Administrator will include the 
     Department of Defense.
       The conferees are aware of various fee-based and other 
     business-to-business arrangements to feature products offered 
     by certain vendors in many commercial e-commerce portals. The 
     conferees expect the Administrator to ensure that any 
     contract of other agreement entered into for commercial e-
     commerce portals under this program preclude such business-
     to-business arrangements.
       Finally, the conferees expect the Administrator to place 
     particular emphasis on preventing suspended and debarred 
     contractors from participation, and ensuring the appropriate 
     participation of small and disadvantaged businesses as 
     required under current law and regulation.
     Revision to definition of commercial item (sec. 847)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 852) that 
     would amend section 103(8) of title 41, United States Code, 
     to clarify that nondevelopmental items are commercial items 
     when the procuring agency determines, in accordance with 
     conditions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, that the 
     item was developed exclusively at private expense and has 
     been sold in substantial quantities on a competitive basis to 
     multiple foreign governments.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     the amendment made by this provision shall not affect the 
     meaning of the term ``commercial item'' for purposes of 
     subsection (a)(5) of section 2464 of title 10, United States 
     Code.
     Commercial item determinations (sec. 848)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 853) that 
     would amend section 2380 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify that a contract or sub-contract relating to the prior 
     acquisition of an item using commercial item acquisition 
     procedures under part 12 of the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation (FAR) should serve as a prior commercial item 
     determination under this section of title 10.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would designate 
     the senior procurement executive of the military department 
     or Department of Defense as the responsible official for 
     reversing a prior commercial item determination and limits 
     the scope of the provision to prime contracts.
     Review of regulations on commercial items (sec. 849)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 855) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to review and, if 
     necessary, revise the Procedures by which the Department of 
     Defense applies government-unique regulations to the process 
     by which it buys commercial items. It would further eliminate 
     all regulations not required by law that were promulgated 
     after the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1996 
     (Public Law 103-355) that create government-unique clauses in 
     contracts or subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial 
     items and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) items, except for 
     regulations that the Secretary determines are vital to 
     national security or required by law.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary to review determinations of the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulations Council regarding contracts and subcontracts 
     described in section 2375 of title 10, United States Code and 
     propose revisions that provide exemptions unless the 
     Secretary determines there is a reason to not do so. The 
     amendment also requires the Secretary to review regulations 
     not required by law or executive order for acquisition of 
     commercial items under part 12 of the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation and regulations relating to acquisition of 
     commercial-off-the-shelf items. In both cases, the Secretary 
     is required to propose elimination of the reviewed 
     regulations unless the Secretary determines there is a 
     specific reason to retain them.
     Training in commercial items procurement (sec. 850)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 866) that would 
     require the President of the Defense Acquisition University 
     to establish a training program on part 12 of the Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation pertaining to the procurement of 
     commercial items.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     841).
       The House recedes with an amendment that makes technical 
     changes to supporting activities.

        Subtitle F--Provisions Relating to Services Contracting

     Improvement of planning for acquisition of services (sec. 
         851)
       The House bill included a provision (sec. 814) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the 
     appropriate information is available and that the right 
     factors are considered to enable the most effective business 
     decisions regarding the procurement of services. This section 
     would require the Secretaries of the Department of Defense 
     and of the military departments to analyze spending patterns 
     and projected future requirements for contracted services and 
     use this analysis to inform future decisions on services 
     acquisition. Additionally, the section would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress with the annual 
     budget clear and detailed information on the amounts 
     requested for contracted services organized according to the 
     common enterprise data structure required elsewhere in this 
     Act.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     829) that would require the Department of Defense to include 
     certain information on services contracts in annual future 
     years defense programs. The amendment prohibits initiation of 
     public-private (A-76) competitions until this information is 
     provided or until the Secretary of Defense certifies that a 
     plan to provide such information by the next fiscal year has 
     been developed.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees note that improving the quality of planning, 
     programming, and budgeting for services contracting will 
     improve transparency and allow the Department of Defense to 
     more effectively manage and coordinate the use of service 
     contracts. Further, the Government Accountability Office has 
     recommended that Congress consider requiring the Department 
     to budget for service contracting activities across the full 
     Future Years Defense Program. The conferees note that this 
     may not be feasible at present, due to a number of 
     significant organizational, business process, and data 
     challenges. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense enter into an agreement with a Federally Funded 
     Research and Development Center or other organization to 
     provide an independent analysis of the feasibility of 
     developing a budget request for the full Future Years Defense 
     Program that project estimated expenditures and proposed 
     appropriations for contracted services, including an analysis 
     of barriers to be addressed and an estimate of a reasonable 
     timeline to deliver such budget materials as part of the 
     President's Budget Request. The study, along with any 
     additional comments provided the Secretary, shall be 
     delivered to the Congress no later than one year after the 
     date of enactment of this Act.
     Standard guidelines for evaluation of requirements for 
         services contracts (sec. 852)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 869) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to encourage the use of 
     standard guidelines for the evaluation of services contracts 
     throughout the Department of Defense and cited the Army's 
     checklist as a possible model.
       The Senate amendment contained no such provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     reference to the Army checklist.
       While the conferees decline to designate a single 
     instrument for use across the Department, the conferees 
     firmly believe that the Department's services contracting 
     efforts would benefit from a far more rigorous and analytical 
     approach than the Department has used so far. The conferees 
     expect to see improved discipline in evaluating requirements 
     in the near future.

     Report on outcome-based services contracts (sec. 853)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 818) that 
     would require a justification requirement for use of 
     personnel and labor hours for the procurement of services 
     valued in excess of $10.0 million unless the program manager 
     and contracting officer first submit to the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment a written 
     justification including the reasons for basing the contract 
     on those requirements instead of outcome- or performance-
     based requirements. This authority would sunset at the close 
     of September 20, 2022.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, no later 
     than April 1, 2018, a report on the merits of using outcome-
     based services contracts within the Department of Defense.
     Pilot program for longer term multiyear service contracts 
         (sec. 854)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 819) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to use the existing 
     authority under subsection (a) of section 2306c of title 10, 
     United States Code, to enter into up to 5 contracts for 
     periods of not more than 10 years for services described in 
     subsection (b) of such section, which may be extended for up 
     to 5 additional 1-year terms. This authority would be subject 
     to a reporting requirement for the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a progress report to the Committees on Armed Services 
     of the Senate and the House of Representatives no later than 
     1 year after the date of enactment of this Act. The provision 
     would also require a review by the Comptroller General of the 
     United States, who would be required to submit a report of to 
     the congressional defense committees not later than 2 years 
     after the date of enactment of this Act.
       The Secretary of Defense would also be required to enter 
     into an agreement no later than 90 days after enactment of 
     this Act with an independent organization with relevant 
     expertise to study best practices and lessons learned from 
     using services contracts for periods longer than 5 years by 
     commercial companies, foreign governments, and state 
     governments, as well as service contracts for periods longer 
     than 5 years used by the Federal Government, such as Energy 
     Savings Performance Contracts. Such Energy Savings 
     Performance Contracts provide an existing example of longer 
     term multiyear service contracts and are an alternative 
     financing mechanism designed to accelerate investment in cost 
     effective energy conservation measures in existing federal 
     buildings.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

  Subtitle G--Provisions Relating to Other Transaction Authority and 
                              Prototyping

     Contract authority for advanced development of initial or 
         additional prototype units (sec. 861)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 814) that 
     would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     would add a new section related to the contract authority 
     allowed for advanced development of initial or additional 
     prototype units.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     dollar value of work to $100.0 million in fiscal year 2017 
     constant dollars and would strike the modification of 
     competitive procedures definition.
     Methods for entering into research agreements (sec. 862)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 874) that 
     would amend section 2358 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     explicitly authorize the use of Other Transactions Authority 
     and Experimental Procurement Authority as methods for 
     entering into research agreements with industry, academia, 
     and other researchers and technology developers.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Education and training for transactions other than contracts 
         and grants (sec. 863)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 872) that 
     would amend subsection (g) of section 2371 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to 
     ensure that the Department of Defense provides sufficient 
     education and training in the use of transactions other than 
     contracts and grants.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary to prescribe minimum levels and requirements for 
     continuous and experiential learning, as well as training 
     levels necessary to meet acquisition certification 
     requirements.
     Other transaction authority for certain prototype projects 
         (sec. 864)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 855) that would 
     modify section 2371b of title 10, United States Code, related 
     to other transactions authority (OTA) to ensure consistency 
     across the language and improve clarity for how the 
     Department of Defense makes determinations when higher level 
     authority is needed to sign off on a specific OTA award.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     871).
       The conferees agreed to an amendment that would modify 
     Other Transaction Authorities by incorporating language from 
     the House provision into the Senate provision so that Other 
     Transactions are measured by the size of transactions rather 
     than the size of projects, approval thresholds are increased 
     for service acquisition executives from $50.0 million to 
     $100.0 million and for the Under Secretary of Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics from $100.0 million to $500.0 
     million, and that contractors participating in small business 
     innovation research and small business technology transfer 
     programs shall be considered small businesses for the 
     purposes of cost sharing requirements.
     Amendment to nontraditional and small contractor innovation 
         prototyping program (sec. 865)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 857) that would 
     amend section 844(d) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) pertaining to 
     the nontraditional and small contractor innovation 
     prototyping program. This provision would also add unmanned 
     ground logistics and unmanned air logistics to the list of 
     capabilities to be included in the program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Middle tier of acquisition for rapid prototype and rapid 
         fielding (sec. 866)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 826) that 
     would amend section 804(c)(2) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     eliminate the cost-sharing requirement for the rapid 
     prototyping and fielding for middle tier acquisition 
     programs.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement to update the Defense Acquisition Regulation 
     Supplement with simplified procedures.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense remains 
     delinquent on implementing the original provision from the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, 
     which should have been implemented by April 2016. The 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing on implementation of section 804 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92) no later than 90 days following the enactment of this 
     Act.
     Preference for use of other transactions and experimental 
         authority (sec. 867)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a 
     preference for using transactions other than contracts, 
     contracts, cooperative agreements, and grants for science and 
     technology, prototyping, and experimental purposes pursuant 
     to sections 2371, 2371b, and 2373 of title 10, United States 
     Code. This preference should include funds expended from 6.1, 
     6.2, 6.3, 6.4, and other accounts used for the purposes of 
     science and technology, prototyping, and experimental 
     purposes.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would specify that 
     the preference for such transactions shall be established 
     when determined to be appropriate.
     Prototype projects to digitize defense acquisition 
         regulations, policies, and guidance, and empower user 
         tailoring of acquisition process (sec. 868)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 895) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense, acting through the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, to 
     develop prototypes to digitize defense acquisition 
     regulations, policies, and guidance.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

        Subtitle H--Provisions Relating to Software Acquisition

     Noncommercial computer software acquisition considerations 
         (sec. 871)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881) that 
     would amend section 2302 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     define technical data with respect to software acquired by, 
     and the means by which that data is provided to, the 
     Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that changes the 
     provision from an updated definition to existing technical 
     data rights and instead establishes considerations for the 
     acquisition on noncommercial computer software.
     Defense Innovation Board analysis of software acquisition 
         regulations (sec. 872)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 882) that 
     would require the Defense Innovation Board to complete an 
     analysis of software development and acquisition regulations 
     for the Department of Defense. This provision would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional 
     defense committees on the preliminary findings no later than 
     150 days after the enactment of this Act. No later than 1 
     year after the Secretary tasks the Defense Innovation Board

     with the study, the Board should submit its report to the 
     Secretary; no later than 30 days after receipt, the Secretary 
     should submit the final report, together with such comments 
     as the Secretary determines appropriate, to the congressional 
     defense committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide 
     additional focus to the scope of the analysis.
     Pilot program to use agile or iterative development methods 
         to tailor major software-intensive warfighting systems 
         and defense business systems (sec. 873)
       The Senate amendment contained two provisions (secs. 883 
     and 884) that would establish two pilots that encourage the 
     Department's use of tailoring to realign several major 
     warfighting programs and defense business systems.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions, extend associated timelines, modify the 
     definition of agile development, and require staff involved 
     in programs selected under the pilot to take training on 
     agile methods.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense's 
     warfighting, business, and enterprise capabilities are 
     increasingly reliant on or driven by software and information 
     technology. The conferees note with concern that the 
     Department is behind other federal agencies and industry in 
     implementing best practices for acquisition of software and 
     information technologies, to include agile and incremental 
     development methods.
       The conferees note that existing law and acquisition 
     regulation provide significant flexibility to the Department 
     and that the Department has explicitly provided for tailoring 
     in its acquisition directives and instructions. The conferees 
     note with concern that the organizational culture and 
     tradition of acquiring capabilities using a hardware-dominant 
     approach impedes effective tailoring of acquisition 
     approaches to incorporate agile and incremental development 
     methods.
       Therefore, the conferees expect that in conducting the 
     program selection and tailoring under this section, the 
     Secretary:
       (1) Use the tools, resources, and expertise of digital and 
     innovation organizations resident in the Department, such as 
     the Defense Innovation Board, the Defense Innovation Unit 
     Experimental, the Defense Science Board, the Defense Digital 
     Services, federally funded research and development centers, 
     research laboratories, and other technical, management, and 
     acquisition experts;
       (2) Use the digital development and acquisition expertise 
     of the General Services Administration's Technology 
     Transition Service, Office of 18F; and
       (3) Leverage the science, technology, and innovation 
     activities established pursuant to section 217 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92; 10 U.S.C. 2445a note).
     Software development pilot program using agile best practices 
         (sec. 874)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 885) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to identify between 
     four and eight software development activities within the 
     Department of Defense or military departments and pilot the 
     use of modern agile methods--to include open source 
     approaches--as well as oversight metrics appropriate for 
     agile development.
       The House recedes with amendments that would adjust the 
     Department's responsibilities related to data rights and 
     modify the definition of agile development.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense's 
     warfighting, business, and enterprise capabilities are 
     increasingly reliant on or driven by software and information 
     technology. The conferees note with concern that the 
     Department is behind other federal agencies and industry in 
     implementing best practices for acquisition of software and 
     information technologies, to include agile and incremental 
     development methods.
       The conferees note that existing law and acquisition 
     regulation provide significant flexibility to the Department 
     and that the Department has explicitly provided for tailoring 
     in its acquisition directives and instructions. The conferees 
     note with
     concern that the organizational culture and tradition of 
     acquiring capabilities using a hardware-dominant approach 
     impedes effective tailoring of acquisition approaches to 
     incorporate agile and incremental development methods.
       Therefore, the conferees expect that in conducting the 
     program selection and tailoring under this section, the 
     Secretary:
       (1) use the tools, resources, and expertise of digital and 
     innovation organizations resident in the Department, such as 
     the Defense Innovation Board, the Defense Innovation Unit 
     Experimental, the Defense Science Board, the Defense Digital 
     Services, federally funded research and development centers, 
     research laboratories, and other technical, management, and 
     acquisition experts;
       (2) use the digital development and acquisition expertise 
     of the General Services Administration's Technology 
     Transition Service, Office of 18F; and leverage the science, 
     technology, and innovation activities established pursuant to 
     section 217 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 10 U.S.C. 2445a note).
     Pilot program for open source software (sec. 875)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 886) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to manage the 
     Department's unclassified, non-defense article, custom 
     developed computer software code using open source licenses 
     and an open source software repository. This provision would 
     also direct the Secretary of Defense to consult with experts 
     from the Defense Innovation Board, DARPA, the NSA, and the 
     Defense Digital Service when updating the DFARS and drafting 
     additional policy or instructions on the use of open source 
     software and to make use of existing Department of Defense 
     open source resources where possible. This provision would 
     further direct the Department to make use of technology prize 
     competitions for improving, repurposing, or reusing software, 
     and to identify methods to reverse engineer Department of 
     Defense software for which source code is unavailable.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     section of title 10 the provision amends, clarify the use of 
     an appropriate software repository, reaffirm the existing 
     unlimited rights terms in the Defense Federal Acquisition 
     Regulations Supplement under which the Department of Defense 
     may apply open source software licenses, and remove the 
     requirement for DARPA to identify methods to locate and 
     reverse engineer existing DOD software for which the source 
     code is unavailable.
       The conferees note that establishing an appropriate 
     repository for open source software will be critical for 
     maintaining security and also to fostering a community of 
     collaborative software experts. The conferees are pleased 
     with the early success of the Department's code.mil 
     initiative and encourage the Secretary to consider use of 
     that repository to implement this provision.
       The conferees also note the importance of ensuring that the 
     Department of Defense uses appropriate open source licenses. 
     The Secretary of Defense shall therefore, no later than 180 
     days after the enactment of this Act, establish guidance to 
     ensure that the Department of Defense applies the appropriate 
     Open Source Initiative approved licenses to its source code.
       The Secretary of Defense shall also, not later than one 
     year after the date of the enactment of this Act, submit to 
     the congressional defense committees a report that identifies 
     methods by which the Department of Defense could reverse 
     engineer legacy software for which source code is 
     unavailable.

                       Subtitle I--Other Matters

     Extension of maximum duration of fuel storage contracts (sec. 
         881)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would 
     extend from 20 to 30 years the maximum total period of 
     Department of Defense contracts for storage, handling, or 
     distribution of liquid fuels and natural gas.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     899A).
       The Senate recedes.
     Procurement of aviation critical safety items (sec. 882)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that would 
     amend section 814 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to include the 
     procurement of aviation critical safety items.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Modifications to the advisory panel on streamlining and 
         codifying acquisition regulations (sec. 883)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 841) that would 
     amend section 809 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to require the 
     Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition 
     Regulations to transmit its final report on January 15, 2019, 
     rather than 2 years after the panel was established. The 
     provision would also require the panel to transmit its final 
     report simultaneously to the Secretary of Defense and the 
     congressional defense committees. The provision would also 
     extend the period of time for the Secretary to submit 
     comments on the final report from 30 to 60 days, and would 
     establish a termination date for the panel 180 days after 
     transmittal of the final report.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees recognize the importance of the work of the 
     Advisory Panel, established by the Congress, which is aimed 
     at streamlining and improving the Department of Defense's 
     acquisition processes to ensure the Department's continued 
     technological advantages. Therefore, the conferees agree that 
     the Advisory Panel's work should be extended. The Advisory 
     Panel shall provide its recommendations to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     using a phased approached. The recommendations shall be 
     delivered in January 2018, June 2018, and January 2019. Each 
     report shall contain a roughly equal number of 
     recommendations to avoid an oversized final deliverable.
       The conferees also note that the panel's projected total 
     cost will be nearly $15.0 million for expenses, salaries, and 
     other items given the extension authorized in this provision. 
     Given this expenditure and the importance of acquisition 
     reform, the conferees expect the Panel will make significant 
     efforts to deliver actionable recommendations to

[[Page H8983]]

     both the Congress and Executive Branch, and provide 
     supporting analyses and consultation to inform review and 
     potential implementation of such recommendations.
     Repeal of expired pilot program for leasing commercial 
         utility cargo vehicles (sec. 884)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 844) that would 
     repeal an expired pilot program in section 2401a of title 10, 
     United States Code, related to leasing utility cargo 
     vehicles.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that this first, relatively narrow 
     repeal of an outdated program in title 10, United States Code 
     should encourage a future, wider effort to reorganize and 
     optimize the entirety of acquisition law.
     Exception for business operations from requirement to accept 
         $1 coins (sec. 885)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that would 
     exempt government contractors from the requirement of section 
     5112(p) of title 31, United States Code, that business 
     operations performed on Federal Government premises provide 
     for accepting and dispensing of existing and proposed dollar 
     coins.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     899B).
       The Senate recedes.
     Development of Procurement Administrative Lead Time (sec. 
         886)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop, make available 
     for public comment, and finalize a definition of the term 
     ``Procurement Administrative Lead Time'' or ``PALT'', to be 
     applied Department of Defense-wide, that describes the amount 
     of time from the date on which a solicitation is issued to 
     the date of an initial award of a contract or task order of 
     the Department of Defense; and a plan for measuring and 
     publicly reporting data on PALT for Department of Defense 
     contracts and task orders above the micro-purchase threshold.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would focus the 
     scope of the provision to contracts and task orders above the 
     simplified acquisition threshold and would require 
     coordination with the Administrator of the General Services 
     Administration.
     Notional milestones and standard timelines for contracts for 
         foreign military sales (sec. 887)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop standard timeline 
     milestones for the foreign military sales (FMS) process, 
     including related contracting activities. Timeline milestones 
     would vary by the complexity of the FMS case. This provision 
     would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit 
     quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees, 
     the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations of 
     the Senate any FMS cases that require congressional 
     notification, as well as an annual report on the number of 
     FMS cases that met and did not meet timeline milestones 
     during the previous fiscal year.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Assessment and authority to terminate or prohibit contracts 
         for procurement from Chinese companies providing support 
         to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (sec. 888)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 876) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the 
     Director of National Intelligence, to conduct an assessment 
     of trade between the People's Republic of China and the 
     Democratic People's Republic of Korea, including elements 
     deemed to be important to United States national security and 
     defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on defense contracting fraud (sec. 889)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10803) 
     that would require the Department of Defense to summarize 
     fraud-related criminal convictions, civil judgements or 
     settlements, and contractors who were suspended or debarred 
     based on such convictions over the previous five fiscal 
     years.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Comptroller General report on contractor business system 
         requirements (sec. 890)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 868) that would 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to issue 
     a report to the congressional defense committees on the 
     feasibility and effect of revising the applicability of 
     certain contractor business system rules.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     review to evaluate overall implementation and effectiveness 
     of the contractor business system program, and including the 
     matters in the House provision, and including further 
     matters.
     Training on agile or iterative development methods (sec. 891)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the President of the Defense Acquisition University, to 
     establish an in-resident targeted training course at the 
     Defense Acquisition University on agile acquisition, and a 
     subject matter expert in agile methods to support 
     implementation of agile.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     version of the course to be available to support pilot 
     programs for agile development as directed by provisions 
     elsewhere in this Act, and to be further improved based on 
     that experience.
       The conferees note the expectation that the pilot program 
     leadership take seriously the views and observations of the 
     subject matter expert in agile methods.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Repeal of temporary suspension of public-private competitions 
         for conversion of Department of Defense functions to 
         performance by contractors

     Bid and Proposal Costs. The panel should be established if 
     the amount of reimbursable bid and proposal costs paid by the 
     Department of Defense for a fiscal year exceeds 0.75 percent 
     of the total aggregate industry sales to the Department for 
     the fiscal year and it should be created by the Secretary 
     within 180 days of exceeding such threshold.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the 809 Panel to review the amount of 
     reimbursable bid and proposal costs paid by the Department of 
     Defense and make recommendations as part of its current 
     activities.
     Nontraditional contractor definition
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 816) that 
     would amend section 2302(9) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to clarify the definition of a nontraditional contractor to 
     better align with the definition of an entity, which was 
     intended to be interpreted as allowing specific business 
     units within a corporation to be considered as nontraditional 
     contractors.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to undertake 
     an analysis and provide a one-time report to the 
     congressional defense committees describing the cases in 
     which the Department of Defense should recognize 
     nontraditional contractors, current approaches for doing so, 
     and recommendations for improvements to streamline access to 
     commercial business entities, including through the defense 
     industrial base, in support of defense technology needs.
     Repeal of domestic source restriction related to wearable 
         electronics
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 817) that 
     would clarify that the domestic source restrictions 
     authorized under the Berry Amendment do not apply to wearable 
     electronics. The committee notes that these technologies will 
     provide advanced communications, sensing, and medical 
     diagnostics capabilities to operational forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that these technologies continue to 
     mature and create opportunities to provide advanced 
     communications, sensing, and medical diagnostics capabilities 
     to operational forces. The conferees urge the Department of 
     Defense to continue to explore opportunities to leverage the 
     best

     our nation's war-fighters with the most modern capabilities 
     to increase their ability to survive and their effectiveness.
     Identification of commercial services
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 820) that 
     would amend section 876 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to require the 
     Secretary of Defense to identify those industry subcategories 
     in facilities-related services, knowledge-based services 
     (excluding engineering services), construction services, 
     medical services, or transportation services in which there 
     are significant numbers of commercial services providers able 
     to meet the requirements of the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees expect the Secretary of Defense, when 
     promulgating regulations in accordance with section 876 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328), to identify subcategories in 
     facilities-related services, knowledge-based services, 
     construction services, medical services, or transportation 
     services in which there are significant numbers of commercial 
     services providers able to meet the requirements of the 
     Department of Defense.
     Acquisition positions in the Offices of the Secretaries of 
         the Military Departments
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that would 
     amend sections 3014, 5014, and 8014 of title 10, United 
     States Code, to authorize the Secretaries of the military 
     departments to exceed statutory personnel caps for civilian 
     employees when hiring acquisition oversight personnel from 
     the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics or requirements personnel from the 
     Joint Staff that supported the Joint Requirements Oversight 
     Council.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department should make every 
     effort to retain experienced acquisition and technical 
     talent, especially when executing budget reductions, office 
     reorganization, and mandatory headquarters personnel 
     reductions.
     Restriction on use of reverse auctions and lowest price 
         technically acceptable contracting methods for safety 
         equipment
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 824) that 
     would amend section 814 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) in order to 
     restrict the Department of Defense (DOD) from the use of 
     reverse auctions and lowest price technically acceptable 
     contracting methods when procuring critical safety equipment.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Department of Defense promotion of contractor compliance with 
         existing law
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 831) that 
     would express the Sense of Congress with respect to

     existing law.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the following: (1) the Department of 
     Defense should aim to ensure that parties contracting with 
     the Federal Government abide by existing law, including 
     worker protection laws; (2) worker protection laws, including 
     chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code (commonly known as 
     the ``Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights 
     Act of 1994'' or ``USERRA'') and the Americans with 
     Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), were 
     enacted to ensure equitable workplace practices; (3) 
     identifying and helping to improve the compliance of 
     contractors with worker protection violations will help avoid 
     setbacks and delays stemming from contracting with non-
     compliant contractors; and (4) the Secretary of Defense has 
     the authority to ensure contractors' compliance with existing 
     laws and should establish a goal to work with responsible 
     contractors who are in compliance with worker protection 
     laws.
     Major defense acquisition programs: display of budget 
         information
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 
     amend require greater transparency in the budget requests for 
     major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs). This provision 
     would also require Budget justification documents for MDAPs 
     to separately depict funding for developmental and 
     operational testing and evaluation, the purchase of cost data 
     from contractors, and the purchase or license of technical 
     data.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modification to definition of commercial items
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 851) that 
     would amend section 2376 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     amend the definition of ``commercial item'' for minor 
     modifications to ensure that government-unique systems and 
     technologies are not treated as commercial items.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Preference for acquisition of commercial items
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 854) that 
     would amend section 2377(b) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to ensure that the acquisition of commercial items and 
     nondevelopmental items take priority over any small business 
     set-aside program that would result in a non-commercial 
     offering but to clarify that contracts for commercial items 
     may be set aside for small business.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Exemption of certain contracts from inflation adjustments
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 860A) that would 
     amend subparagraph (B) of section 1908(b)(2) of title 41, 
     United States Code, by inserting ``3131 to 3134,'' after 
     ``sections''.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Procurement exception relating to agreements with foreign 
         governments
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 865) that 
     would amend section 2533a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify that the requirement pertaining to procurement of 
     items grown, reprocessed, reused, or produced in the United 
     States does not preclude the acquisition of items as part of 
     a weapon system if the acquisition is necessary in 
     furtherance of an agreement with a foreign government in 
     which both governments agree to remove barriers to purchases 
     of supplies produced in the other country or services 
     performed by sources of the other country.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Enhancing program licensing
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 867) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 
     of the Secretary of State, to establish a structure 
     implementing a revised program export licensing framework in 
     order to provide comprehensive export licensing authorization 
     to support large international cooperative defense programs 
     between multiple nations and determine what, if any, 
     regulatory authorities require modification.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that large international cooperative 
     defense programs between multiple nations, such as the Joint 
     Strike Fighter, have the potential to overwhelm current 
     program licensing systems. The conferees therefore direct the 
     Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary 
     of State and Secretary of Commerce, to undertake a review of 
     the program export licensing framework to identify the 
     changes, if any, required to support these types of programs 
     and recommendations on how to implement such changes. The 
     conferees further direct the Secretary of Defense, the 
     Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Commerce, jointly to 
     provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives, the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
     of the House of Representatives, not later than 180 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act on the results of 
     the review.
     Temporary limitation on aggregate annual amount available for 
         contract services
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 870) that would 
     extend the cap on spending for services contracts by the 
     Department of Defense through fiscal year 2018.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress regarding steel produced in the United 
         States
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 872) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that a strong domestic iron ore 
     and steel industry is vital to the national security of the 
     United States.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Improved transparency and oversight over Department of 
         Defense research, development, test, and evaluation 
         efforts and procurement activities related to medical 
         research
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 891) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from entering into a 
     contract, grant, or cooperative agreement for congressional 
     special interest medical research program under the 
     Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program of the 
     Department of Defense unless there is sufficient compliance 
     with cost accounting standards and other specified 
     requirements.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Rights in technical data related to medical research
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 892) that 
     would require special interest medical research programs 
     under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program 
     of the Department of Defense to include agreements that 
     provide the United

[[Page H8985]]

     States Government with the same rights to the technical data 
     that apply to items or processes developed under the 
     contract, grant, or cooperative agreement as applicable under 
     section 2320(a)(2)(A) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     items and processes developed exclusively with federal funds.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Oversight, audit, and certification from the Defense Contract 
         Audit Agency for procurement activities related to 
         medical research
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 893) that 
     would require the Defense Contract Audit Agency to certify 
     the adequacy of the accounting systems and perform an 
     incurred cost audit prior to the obligation of funds for 
     congressional special interest medical research programs 
     under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program 
     of the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Pilot program for adoption of acquisition strategy for 
         Defense Base Act insurance
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 896) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot 
     program for the United States Army Corps of Engineers for 
     purposes of adopting an acquisition strategy for insurance 
     required by the Defense Base Act (32 U.S.C. 1651, et seq.) in 
     order the minimize the cost of such insurance to the 
     Department of Defense. The contract entered into under this 
     authority would be effective for at least 3 years, or as 
     considered appropriate by the Secretary. The committee notes 
     that this provision is not intended to change policies on 
     support of workmen's compensation or reduce compensation 
     practices. The committee believes that the provision should 
     result in a more efficient acquisition strategy that reduces 
     costs to the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to 
     continue working on innovative programmatic improvements for 
     savings and efficiencies relative to the insurance required 
     under the Defense Base Act.
     Annual report on limitation of subcontractor intellectual 
         property rights
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 899) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees, no later than 180 days 
     after the enactment of this Act and annually for 5 years 
     afterwards, a report listing all contracts entered into 
     during the previous fiscal year using procedures under part 
     15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation where the prime 
     contractor limited the intellectual property rights of one or 
     more subcontractors without being required to do so by the 
     United States Government.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that prime contractors may not limit 
     subcontractor intellectual property rights except when 
     required by the Department of Defense.
     Comptroller General of the United States report on Department 
         of Defense critical telecommunications equipment or 
         services obtained from suppliers closely linked to a 
         leading cyber-threat actor
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6608) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report on 
     any telecommunications equipment, technologies, or services 
     used by the Department of Defense or its subcontractors that 
     is manufactured by, or from an entity that incorporates 
     information technology manufactured by a foreign supplier or 
     contractor associated with, a leading cyber-threat actor.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress on the small turbine engine industrial base
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10302) 
     that would express the Sense of Congress that the Department 
     of Defense should allocate funding to sustain the F107 
     turbine engine and contract with multiple, capable engine 
     manufacturers to stabilize the United States small turbine 
     engine industrial base.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees recognize the importance of low cost turbine 
     engines in powering munitions that support operations in the 
     various combatant command areas of responsibility, and are 
     aware that technology for high-efficiency, low-cost systems 
     may be available. Low-cost is driven by competition, as well 
     as small business participation. Therefore, the conferees 
     encourage the Department of Defense to adequately resource 
     efforts to identify low-cost, small engine technologies 
     capable of powering missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, 
     and directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics to provide a briefing to the Senate 
     Armed Services Committee and House Armed Services Committee 
     by September 1, 2018, on current research and development 
     efforts and the industrial base which supports this area.
     Modification to the HUBZone program
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10802) 
     that would amend section 3(p)(4)(C) of the Small Business Act 
     (15 U.S.C. 632(p)(4)(C)) to expand the ability of small 
     businesses in rural areas to participate in the Historically 
     Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Buy American Act training for Defense acquisition workforce
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14008) 
     that would require a Comptroller General review of Buy 
     America training for the defense acquisition workforce.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Inspector General of the 
     Department of Defense has found deficiencies in the adherence 
     to the provisions of the Buy America Act and has recommended 
     improvements in training for the Defense acquisition 
     workforce. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to develop a report to Congress on Buy American 
     training policies for the defense acquisition workforce. The 
     report shall include a summary and assessment of mandated 
     training courses for Department of Defense acquisition 
     personnel responsible for procuring items that are subject to 
     the Berry Amendment and Buy America Act. The report shall be 
     delivered to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives not later than one year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act.

      Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management

   Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Defense and Related Matters

     Treatment of incumbent Under Secretary of Defense for 
         Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (sec. 901)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would 
     allow the incumbent Principal Deputy Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to become 
     the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment, and would allow the incumbent Deputy Chief 
     Management Officer to continue to serve as the Chief 
     Management Officer, once both positions come into effect on 
     February 1, 2018, consistent with section 901 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328.).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     905) that would amend section 901(a) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     in order to repeal the section regarding service of the 
     incumbent Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Technology relative to the position of the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Research and Engineering.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     technical changes to the Senate provision.
     Clarification of authority of Under Secretary of Defense for 
         Acquisition and Sustainment with respect to service 
         acquisition programs for which the service acquisition 
         executive is the milestone decision authority (sec. 902)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 903) that 
     would amend section 901 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify the authority of the future Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD (A&S)) under 
     section 133b(b) of title 10, United States Code, with respect 
     to service acquisition programs for which the service 
     acquisition executive is the milestone decision authority.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Executive Schedule matters relating to Under Secretary of 
         Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (sec. 903)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 904) that 
     would establish the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment (A&S) as an Executive Level III 
     position. When the Congress reorganized the office of 
     Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, the Under Secretary 
     for Research and Engineering (R&E) was established as an 
     Executive Level II position, which is one step below a 
     cabinet official, in order to prioritize innovation efforts 
     which had become moribund in recent years. The other Under 
     Secretaries in the Office of the Secretary of Defense are 
     Executive Level III, which is appropriately one step below 
     the Deputy Secretary of Defense. This aligns the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for A&S with the level of the other 
     Under Secretaries.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Consistent period of relief from active duty as a 
         commissioned officer of a regular component of the Armed 
         Forces for appointment to Under Secretary of Defense 
         positions (sec. 904)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 908) that 
     would establish the requirement for a 5-year separation from 
     Active Duty as a commissioned officer before serving in a 
     position of Under Secretary of

[[Page H8986]]

     Defense. The current requirement currently exists for three 
     of the Under Secretaries (Research and Engineering; 
     Acquisition and Sustainment; and Policy).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would establish 
     the requirement for a 7-year separation from Active Duty as a 
     commissioned officer before serving in a position of Under 
     Secretary of Defense.
     Qualifications for appointment and additional duties and 
         powers of certain officials within the Office of the 
         Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) (sec. 905)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 907) that 
     would amend section 135 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require individuals appointed to the positions of Under 
     Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Deputy Chief Financial 
     Officer to have significant financial management service, 
     which includes having previously served as the chief 
     financial officer, deputy chief financial officer, or an 
     equivalent executive-level position with direct authority for 
     financial management in a large public- or private-sector 
     organization that received an audit with an unqualified 
     opinion on its financial statements.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the 
     qualification requirements to focus on budget, financial 
     management or audit.
     Redesignation of Principal Deputy Under Secretaries of 
         Defense as Deputy Under Secretaries of Defense and 
         related matters (sec. 906)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 909) that 
     would amend section 137a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     redesignate all Principal Deputy Under Secretaries of Defense 
     as Deputy Under Secretaries of Defense and would increase the 
     authorized number of Deputy Under Secretaries of Defense from 
     five to six. This amendment reflects the elimination of 
     subordinate Deputy Under Secretaries and reflects that these 
     positions are the immediate and senior subordinate to the 
     Under Secretaries of Defense. Additionally, this provision 
     would designate the newly authorized Deputy Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Research and Engineering and the Deputy Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment as two 
     of the authorized positions, consistent with the Office of 
     the Secretary of Defense reorganization provisions in the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Reduction of number and elimination of specific designations 
         of Assistant Secretaries of Defense (sec. 907)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 910) that 
     would amend section 138(a)(1) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to reduce the total number of authorized Assistant 
     Secretaries of Defense from 14 to 13, and eliminate specific 
     designation for all but two.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 
     number of Assistant Secretaries of Defense from 14 to 13, and 
     eliminate the specific designation for all but three, 
     including the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative 
     Affairs.
     Limitation on maximum number of Deputy Assistant Secretaries 
         of Defense (sec. 908)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 911) that 
     would set the maximum number of authorized Deputy Assistant 
     Secretaries of Defense to 46.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would cap the 
     number of Deputy Assistant Secretaries of Defense at 48.
     Appointment and responsibilities of Chief Information Officer 
         of the Department of Defense (sec. 909)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 902) that 
     would amend section 142 of title 10, United States Code, 
     concerning the Chief Information Officer (CIO), by elevating 
     the role and realigning its authorities and responsibilities 
     to two other officials. This provision would establish a 
     Chief Information Warfare Officer (CIWO), who would assume 
     responsibility for Defense-wide information warfighting 
     functions. The roles and responsibilities of the current CIO 
     concerning business systems and statutory requirements not 
     specified within the CIWO's purview would fall to the Chief 
     Management Officer (CMO) of the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     position to be presidentially appointed and Senate confirmed. 
     The amendment would designate additional responsibilities 
     related to budgets and standards and would authorize the CIO 
     to evaluate and certify that Department of Defense budgets 
     are sufficient in meeting Department-wide requirements for 
     the functional areas it oversees. The CIO shall exercise its 
     new budget authority and responsibility with respect to 
     nuclear command and control solely in its capacity as a 
     support element of the Council on Oversight of the National 
     Leadership Command, Control, and Communications System (as 
     established in section 171a of title 10, United States Code) 
     and solely in its capacity as a support element of the 
     Council on Oversight of the Department of Defense Position, 
     Navigation, and Timing Enterprise (as established in section 
     2279b of title 10, United States Code).
       The amendment would also require the establishment of a 
     process for developing, adopting, and publishing standards 
     for information technology, networking, and cyber 
     capabilities and would require that capabilities developed by 
     the military Services and Defense Agencies adhere to such 
     standards.
       The conferees note that the addition of cybersecurity and 
     cyber capabilities as responsibilities of the CIO are not 
     intended to supersede, but to be complementary to, the roles 
     and responsibilities assigned to the Principal Cyber Advisor 
     (PCA) in section 932(c) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66), as mandated in 
     section 167b of title 10, United States Code, and as assigned 
     by the Secretary of Defense.
       The conferees expect the CIO to work closely with the PCA, 
     to include making personnel available to the cross functional 
     team established to staff the PCA. In making personnel 
     available to the PCA, the CIO should ensure there is 
     available expertise to fulfill the responsibility for 
     certifying the military Services' cyber security and cyber 
     capabilities budgets as they relate to effective cyber 
     operations and a ready Cyber Mission Force.
       The conferees are aware that the office of the PCA has been 
     chronically under-resourced since its establishment and are 
     concerned about the impact of under-resourcing on the PCA's 
     ability to effectively execute its assigned roles and 
     responsibilities. The conferees believe that the PCA should 
     be more robustly manned and resourced in order to fulfill all 
     mandates, especially for those assigned in section 167b of 
     title 10, United States Code. Therefore, the conferees direct 
     the Director of the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation 
     Office to provide an assessment of the resources required for 
     the PCA to effectively fulfill all assigned roles and 
     responsibilities as defined in law, statute, and as assigned 
     by the Secretary of Defense to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than March 1, 2017.
     Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 
         910)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 901) that 
     would clarify and expand the responsibilities of the Chief 
     Management Officer (CMO) of the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the 
     reporting chains, duties, authorities, and responsibilities 
     of the CMO.

               Subtitle B--Data Management and Analytics

     Policy on treatment of defense business system data related 
         to business operations and management (sec. 911)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish that all data 
     within Department of Defense business systems is considered 
     owned by the Department and is readily available to the 
     Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and the 
     military departments.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would separate 
     this portion of the original provision into a standalone 
     provision, and would require this policy to be enacted within 
     a year of the enactment of this Act.
       The conferees note that many of the management challenges 
     currently faced by the Department are driven by the lack of 
     accessible, shared information and unclear data governance 
     policies between components. Moreover, the conferees are 
     concerned that the Department lags well behind the private 
     sector in effectively incorporating enterprise-wide data 
     analyses into decision making and oversight. The conferees 
     therefore believe that a statutory requirement that the 
     Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and the 
     military departments be given access to business-management 
     related data, under the auspices of the Chief Management 
     Officer, is necessary to overcome institutional and cultural 
     barriers to information sharing. The conferees further 
     believe that to bring about this significant culture change, 
     it is necessary to assign responsibility at the highest 
     levels of the Department for creating and maintaining common 
     enterprise data.
     Transparency of defense management data (sec. 912)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
     amend section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require that all data within Department of Defense business 
     systems be considered owned by the Department and be readily 
     available to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the 
     Joint Staff, and the military departments.
       The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec. 935 
     and sec. 937) that contained specific applications for the 
     Department of Defense to use data to manage priority 
     challenges.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     roles and responsibilities for establishing data-related 
     policies, and expands the scope of the provision to include 
     all business-management related information, not solely that 
     from defense business systems. Further, the amendment would 
     incorporate portions of Senate amendment

[[Page H8987]]

     provisions (sec. 935 and sec. 937) that call for data 
     integration strategies to address high priority management 
     challenges of the Department, and that require the 
     establishment and maintenance of capability for oversight and 
     management of the defense agencies and field activities.
       The conferees believe that in order to implement new 
     policies broadening access to enterprise data, the Department 
     will need to clearly develop roles and responsibilities. 
     Though the Chief Management Officer shall have primary 
     decision-making authority with respect to the development and 
     maintenance of common enterprise data, many other elements of 
     the Department will have significant equity in this process 
     and will desire to use the data that is exposed as a result 
     of this policy. The conferees' intent is that the Chief 
     Management Officer executes the actions called for within 
     this provision with the assistance and collaboration from 
     other relevant components of the Department (e.g., the Under 
     Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), Director of the Office of 
     Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation) as desired. The 
     conferees will remain interested in receiving feedback from 
     the pilot programs and analytics capability described within 
     this provision, and expect periodic reviews.
     Establishment of set of activities that use data analysis, 
         measurement, and other evaluation-related methods to 
         improve acquisition program outcomes (sec. 913)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 936) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the 
     Deputy Chief Management Officer (and successor positions), in 
     coordination with the Armed Forces and the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (and 
     successor positions), to establish a set of activities that 
     use data analysis, measurement, and other evaluation-related 
     methods to improve the acquisition outcomes of the Department 
     of Defense and enhance organizational learning.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would further 
     specify the training recommended by this section and would 
     clarify roles and responsibilities in carrying out the 
     implementation plan.

  Subtitle C--Organization of Other Department of Defense Offices and 
                                Elements

     Qualifications for appointment of Assistant Secretaries of 
         the military departments for financial management (sec. 
         921)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 922) that 
     would amend sections 3016, 5016, and 8016 of title 10, United 
     States Code, to require individuals appointed to the 
     positions of Assistant Secretary of the military departments 
     for financial management to have significant financial 
     management service, which includes having previously served 
     as the chief financial officer, deputy chief financial 
     officer, or an equivalent executive-level position with 
     direct authority for financial management in a large public- 
     or private-sector organization that received an audit with an 
     unqualified opinion on its financial statements.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the 
     qualification requirements to focus on budget, financial 
     management or audit.
     Manner of carrying out reductions in major Department of 
         Defense headquarters activities pursuant to headquarters 
         reduction plan (sec. 922)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 932) that 
     would amend section 346 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to require that 
     the reductions to headquarters activities made pursuant to 
     that section be carried out after a consideration of current 
     manpower levels, historic manpower levels, mission 
     requirements, and anticipated staffing needs of such 
     headquarters activities necessary to meet national defense 
     objectives.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Certifications on cost savings achieved by reductions in 
         major Department of Defense headquarters activities (sec. 
         923)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 933) that 
     would amend section 346 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to require that 
     the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation 
     certify mandated cost savings estimated for headquarters 
     reductions.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment providing 120 days for 
     the initial certification, and 60 days for the years 2018 to 
     2020.
     Corrosion control and prevention executives matters (sec. 
         924)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would 
     designate corrosion control and prevention executives for the 
     military departments.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     952).
       The House recedes.
     Background and security investigations for Department of 
         Defense personnel (sec. 925)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 901) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to take actions to 
     allow the Defense Security Service to conduct before October 
     1, 2020 all personnel background and security investigations 
     adjudicated by the Consolidated Adjudication Facility of the 
     Department of Defense (DOD).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that makes technical 
     and conforming changes and enhances reporting requirements.
       The conferees recommend a provision that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to take actions to allow the Defense 
     Security Service (DSS) to conduct before October 1, 2020 all 
     personnel background and security investigations adjudicated 
     by the Consolidated Adjudication Facility (CAF) of the 
     Department of Defense (DOD). This provision is based on the 
     conferees' judgement that the current situation of massive 
     clearance delays has serious adverse effects on national 
     security and must be addressed in order to avoid any further 
     damage to DOD's readiness. The provision is also based on the 
     conferees understanding that the administration supports the 
     Secretary of Defense's decision to have DSS conduct personnel 
     background and security investigations adjudicated by the CAF 
     and has recognized the Secretary's authority to take actions 
     necessary to implement the decision.
       The background investigation process is broken. It is 
     composed of decades-old security practices, is grossly 
     inefficient, and has costs that have been rising steadily and 
     substantially for years. The current situation has led to 
     accumulation of huge indirect costs to customers like DOD; 
     operational risks, as personnel are idled while waiting for 
     clearances; and a degradation in workforce quality, as high-
     performing personnel with the best alternatives are unlikely 
     to wait for many months to begin work for the U.S. 
     Government. The conferees lack confidence that the current 
     owner of the background investigation mission has the will, 
     culture, or capability to effect vital reforms in current 
     processes and practices.
       Current practices are mired in outdated methods and non-
     digital, non-automated technology. Expensive human 
     investigative resources are consumed with fact checking and 
     data collection functions (ripe candidates for automation) as 
     opposed to investigating substantive issues about the actions 
     and circumstances of prospective and current employees.
       A better model has been clear to policymakers for at least 
     a decade: a ``continuous evaluation'' concept based on 
     automated access to a wide array of digital sources and 
     records. Constant access and reporting from these data 
     sources has been demonstrated to turn up greater volumes of 
     more serious issues than current practices; expensive human 
     resources would then be devoted to investigating concerns 
     arising from the continuous evaluation process. Derogatory 
     information that crossed adjustable thresholds of seriousness 
     would be automatically ``pushed,'' as alerts, to analysts for 
     action. For current employees, information from modern 
     insider threat programs would become an important component 
     of the continuous evaluation process, providing information 
     from counterintelligence, cybersecurity, human resources, 
     physical security, and law enforcement databases and 
     investigations.
       These continuous vetting techniques would eliminate the 
     need for infrequent but expensive ``periodic re-
     investigations'' (PRs) that are mandated today--though under 
     the current system, PRs are so infrequent that threats are 
     missed for long periods. DOD is already paying over $1.0 
     billion annually for background investigations; the backlog 
     exceeds 700,000 cases and is growing at a rate of 10,000-
     20,000 per month. The Government is not going to truly 
     address this backlog unless it substitutes technology and 
     smart risk-based decision-making for labor-intensive 
     activities of questionable relative value.
       The conferees believe that DOD must take back 
     responsibility for background investigations of its employees 
     and contractors and change how these investigations 
     are conducted. At the same time, the conferees believe it 
     would be a grave mistake to import back into DOD the 
     existing OPM organization, culture, and practices. A fresh 
     start is needed that is built incrementally on existing CE 
     initiatives and encompasses a phased transition of 
     responsibility from OPM to DOD.
       The conferees also fully realize that there is no quick fix 
     for the immense problems DOD faces and that the backlog and 
     the cost of doing business could get worse before they can 
     get better. The conferees continue to have serious concerns 
     about the ability of DOD to manage the development of a 
     robust CE information technology (IT) capability. The 
     conferees also continue to be at least equally concerned 
     about DOD's ability to orchestrate the creation of an 
     integrated, automated, enterprise-wide insider threat 
     detection and analysis capability. The conferees' 
     apprehension is that the Department's leadership has not 
     realized the level of resource commitment and time that will 
     be involved in creating digital access and analysis 
     capabilities to the data collected and held by all the 
     different functional organizations - counterintelligence, 
     personnel security, human resources, physical security, 
     cybersecurity, law enforcement, intelligence,

[[Page H8988]]

     etc. - across the Services, combatant commands, Joint Staff, 
     the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and all the defense 
     agencies and field activities. This is an organizational 
     management challenge as well as a technical challenge of the 
     first order. The conferees expect the Department to take 
     advantage of existing direct hiring authorities in order to 
     build up the necessary investigative workforce to execute 
     this mission. The conferees also recognize that the 
     Department may need to consider establishing an appropriate 
     funding mechanism to support this mission.
       The conferees are committed to monitoring the Department's 
     progress in taking over this new mission. DOD should look, 
     where possible, to take advantage of the work done across 
     government to modernize the background investigation process. 
     The conferees are also committed to working with other 
     congressional committees to ensure that the National 
     Background Investigations Bureau receives adequate 
     assessments during this transition to fully understand the 
     impact of the transfer and resource requirements during and 
     after the transition.
       The conferees note that the reference to DOD usage of 
     existing commercial data within this provision is not meant 
     to extend the Department's authorities with regard to the 
     handling and usage of personal data.

            Subtitle D--Miscellaneous Reporting Requirements

     Additional elements in reports on policy, organization, and 
         management goals of the Secretary of Defense for the 
         Department of Defense (sec. 931)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would 
     amend section 912 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to add civilian 
     workforce matters to the report required by that section.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would focus the 
     additional reporting requirement on optimizing the civilian 
     operating force structure for operational effectiveness and 
     on hiring authorities and other actions that the Secretary of 
     Defense or the Secretaries of the military departments will 
     take to eliminate any gaps between desired programmed 
     civilian workforce levels and the current size of the 
     civilian workforce, set forth by mission and functional area.
     Report and sense of Congress on responsibility for 
         developmental test and evaluation within the Office of 
         the Secretary of Defense (sec. 932)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 926) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, 
     not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, on a 
     strategy to ensure that there is sufficient expertise, 
     oversight, and policy direction on the developmental test and 
     evaluation within the Office of the Secretary of Defense 
     after the completion of the reorganization of such Office 
     required under section 901 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 
     130 Stat. 2339).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     required briefing into a report and to clarify that the 
     report should affirm the distinct roles of operational 
     testing, developmental testing, and systems engineering in 
     performing oversight activities. The provision would also 
     clarify that developmental test officials should have access 
     to relevant program data to perform their oversight 
     responsibilities.
     Report on Office of Corrosion Policy and Oversight (sec. 933)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would 
     repeal section 2228 of title 10, United States Code, 
     requiring that there be an Office of Corrosion Policy and 
     Oversight within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense 
     for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to deliver recommendations to the 
     conferees no later than 90 days after the enactment of this 
     Act on whether or not the Department should retain the Office 
     of Corrosion Policy and Oversight. The review shall 
     thoroughly examine and determine if any duplication exists 
     within the office as it relates to its mission of corrosion 
     prevention, control, and mitigation of corrosion of the 
     military equipment and infrastructure of the Department of 
     Defense, particularly where there is duplication in light of 
     the grade, qualifications, and duties of the corrosion 
     control and prevention executives in each of the military 
     services. The review shall also recommend, if appropriate, 
     any additional authorities the military services would 
     require if the Department were to recommend repealing 10 
     U.S.C. 2228.

                       Title X--General Provisions

                      Subtitle A--Financial Matters

      General transfer authority (sec. 1001)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1001) 
     that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer up 
     to $4.0 billion of fiscal year 2018 funds authorized in

      Consolidation, codification and improvement of certain 
         authorities and requirements in connection with the audit 
         of the financial statements of the Department of Defense 
         (sec. 1002)
        The House bill contained provisions (sec. 1002, sec. 1003, 
     and sec. 1004) that pertain to reporting requirements as the 
     Department of Defense places its full financial statements 
     under audit.
        The Senate amendment contained similar provisions that 
     centered on reporting requirements (sec. 1007, sec. 6007, 
     sec. 6008, and sec. 11006).
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would 
     incorporate these provisions into a new section of US Code, 
     and would streamline existing reporting requirements to 
     remain relevant as the Department undergoes a full financial 
     statement audit.
        The conferees note that almost 3 decades after the Chief 
     Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576) and with 
     estimated billions invested in audit, audit readiness, and 
     ERP efforts since 2012, the Department remains unable to 
     obtain an opinion on its financial statements. Currently, 
     statute relating to audit has built up over years into 
     disorganized notes to 10 USC 2222. The conferees believe that 
     creating a dedicated section of US Code will clarify the 
     Department's reporting requirements for future years. 
     Finally, the conferees understand that the Department's move 
     to undergo a full financial statement audit will require new 
     reporting requirements than those aimed at audit readiness. 
     The conferees support the Department's focus on undergoing a 
     full audit going forward but continue to believe in the 
     importance of thorough oversight of the Department's 
     activities.
      Improper payment matters (sec. 1003)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1005) 
     that would require the Department of Defense to comply with 
     recommendations made by the Comptroller General of the United 
     States that it improve the method and procedures by which it 
     estimates, identifies susceptible programs, and reduces 
     improper payments.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
      Rankings of auditability of financial statements of the 
         organizations and elements of the Department of Defense 
         (sec. 1004)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1005) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
     the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to submit a 
     report setting forth a ranking of the auditability of the 
     financial statements of key Department of Defense 
     components.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6009).
        The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the 
     report's deadline and limit the requirement to a single 
     report.
      Financial operations dashboard for the Department of Defense 
         (sec. 1005)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1006) 
     that would direct the Under Secretary of Defense 
     (Comptroller) to establish a searchable database that 
     contains key indicators of the financial performance of the 
     Department of Defense, and is accessible across the 
     government.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     those with access to the dashboard, adjust the frequency of 
     dashboard updates, and remove the reporting requirement on 
     value created by improved financial management.
        The conferees note the value of transparency and the 
     ability of information to drive effective and accountable 
     government. The conferees also recognize that while the 
     statutory language guiding the Department in its financial 
     improvement efforts is primarily focused on the requirement 
     for annual financial audits, Congress' intent for requiring 
     the Department to audit its financial statements is to ensure 
     not only that the Department complies with its Constitutional 
     and legal obligation to account for all taxpayer funds 
     received and expended but also that Department leadership has 
     available reliable financial information with which to make 
     better program management and budgeting decisions. The 
     financial controls required to achieve and sustain a clean 
     audit opinion reduce wasteful spending resulting from 
     inefficiencies. Without the control environment that 
     underpins auditability, it costs more to achieve our desired 
     levels of military readiness. To facilitate the adoption of 
     better financial controls and provide much-needed 
     transparency on the cost of the Department's financial 
     operations, this dashboard would contain key indicators of 
     the financial performance of the Department of Defense. The 
     conferees expect that Congress and GAO will have appropriate 
     access to the dashboard and supporting information to enable 
     oversight functions.
      Review and recommendations on efforts to obtain audit 
         opinion on full financial statements (sec. 1006)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1004) 
     that would reduce the annual rate of basic pay for calendar 
     year 2020 and for each year thereafter for each secretary of 
     a military department who does not obtain an audit opinion on 
     their service's fiscal year 2018 financial statements. This 
     provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     establish a team of private sector experts on financial 
     audits to assess the Department's progress and make 
     recommendations.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     pay cuts for service secretaries, and would allow the 
     Department to stand up the team of private sector experts 
     immediately.
      Notification requirement for certain contracts for audit 
         services (sec. 1007)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to notify the congressional 
     defense committees when there is a protest of a contract for 
     auditing services that contribute to the Department of 
     Defense achieving auditable financial statements and the 
     Department decides not to use existing authorities to 
     continue performance of the contract while the protest is 
     pending.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.

                   Subtitle B--Counterdrug Activities

      Extension of authority to support a unified counterdrug and 
         counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1011)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1011) 
     that would extend by three

[[Page H8990]]

     years section 1021 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-375), 
     as most recently amended by section 1013 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328). Additionally, the provision would amend DOD's 
     authority to support Colombia's unified counterdrug and 
     counterterrorism campaign.
        The House bill contained no such provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     modifications to the existing authority.
        The conferees recognize the remarkable security gains the 
     Government of Colombia has achieved over the last 15 years 
     and its contributions to regional security. The conferees 
     strongly support the vital partnership between the United 
     States and Colombia, note the importance of sustaining and 
     building upon these gains in the face of new security 
     challenges, and urge the Department of Defense (DOD) in 
     coordination with other relevant agencies to ensure its 
     security cooperation programs and authorities reflect the 
     evolving security environment in Colombia and the region.
        The conferees therefore direct the Secretary of Defense, 
     in coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide a 
     briefing to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than 90 days after the enactment of this Act on DOD's plans 
     to support the Government of Colombia and any modification to 
     legal authorities it may need given the evolving security 
     situation. The briefing shall include: (1) a discussion of 
     how DOD plans to support the Government of Colombia as the 
     disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of the 
     Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) continues; (2) 
     DOD's definition of which other persistent terrorist and 
     narcotics trafficking organizations threaten peace, 
     stability, and U.S. interests in Colombia; (3) DOD's views on 
     how to appropriately adjust authorities in light of the 
     marginalization, fragmentation, and emergence of 
     organizations that pose such threats, and any challenges the 
     current authority presents to supporting the Government of 
     Colombia; and (4) any other matters that the Secretary of 
     Defense and Secretary of State deem relevant.
      Venue for prosecution of maritime drug trafficking (sec. 
         1012)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14013) 
     that would amend section 70504(b) of title 46, United States 
     Code, on matters relating to venue for prosecution of 
     maritime drug trafficking.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.

                 Subtitle C--Naval Vessels and Shipyards

      National Defense Sealift Fund (sec. 1021)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that 
     would amend section 2218 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     strike the use of the fund for research and development 
     related to national defense sealift. This section would also 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to purchase up to five 
     used vessels, regardless of where constructed for the Ready 
     Reserve Force (RRF) component on a one-by-one basis with new 
     vessels authorized by the National Defense Sealift Fund. 
     Finally, prior to the purchase of a vessel not constructed in 
     the United States, the section would require the Secretary to 
     certify that there are no United States constructed vessels 
     available for purchase at a reasonable price that are 
     suitable for national defense or military purposes.
        The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec. 
     1018 and sec. 1020).
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     use of the fund for research and development related to 
     national defense sealift; authorize the Secretary of Defense 
     to purchase up to two used vessels for the RRF component, 
     regardless of where constructed; and require inclusion of 
     auxiliary vessels in the annual 30-year shipbuilding plan 
     required by section 231 of title 10, United States Code.
        The conferees note that the auxiliary and sealift fleets 
     consist of numerous platforms that have or are approaching 
     the end of their useful service life and need to be 
     recapitalized. The current average age of the vessels in the 
     RRF portion of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) and 
     the Military Sealift Command's (MSC) surge fleet is 39 years. 
     The fleets are comprised of many different ship classes with 
     both U.S. and foreign-constructed vessels. The cost of 
     maintaining this aging fleet is increasing as maintenance and 
     repair actions are becoming more challenging due to lack of 
     availability of spare parts and the general wear and tear on 
     the vessels over time.
        The conferees further note the administration has proposed 
     a three-pronged plan that includes recapitalization of the 
     existing fleet, procurement of used vessels and construction 
     of new vessels. The conferees understand that the 
     administration has not programmed any funds to support this 
     new construction program and a program of record to support 
     the Common Hull Auxiliary Multi-mission Platform (CHAMP) is 
     still under development. The administration indicated that 
     the development of the requirements, as well as design 
     processes, would lead to an anticipated first delivery of new 
     vessels in the late-2020s. The conferees also understand that 
     the administration does not need to procure any ships in 
     fiscal year 2018.
        While the conferees support providing authority to procure 
     two used vessels, the conferees are disappointed with the 
     lack of detail associated with the overall program to 
     recapitalize the surge sealift force and believe a 
     comprehensive plan is appropriate before additional 
     authorities are provided.
        Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy, 
     in consultation with the Commander, U.S. Transportation 
     Command and the Maritime Administrator, to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 
     2018 that includes the following items:
       (1) An assessment, by vessel, of the material condition and 
     remaining service life of the RRF component of the NDRF and 
     the MSC's surge fleet;
       (2) A description of any major modernization program, by 
     vessel, that seeks to extend the service life of the RRF 
     component of the NDRF and the MSC's surge fleet;
       (3) A notional acquisition strategy for the next five years 
     to acquire used vessels that describes the following 
     elements:
       (a) An assessment of U.S.-built ships that could be 
     procured for the RRF;
       (b) Total number of used vessels required for purchase;
       (c) A proposed timeline for the acquisition of each used 
     vessel, the modernization or conversion of the used vessel 
     and an initial operating capability to align with the 
     retirement of the existing RRF vessel;
       (d) A cost estimate for procurement of each used vessel and 
     an assessment of modernization or conversion costs to support 
     delivering a RRF vessel;
       (e) A determination of the contracting agency and program 
     office that will be used to procure, modernize or convert the 
     used vessels; and
       (f) A determination of which agency or program office will 
     assess the material condition and ability to meet RRF or MSC 
     surge fleet requirements of each used vessel prior to 
     purchase;
       (4) A description of the program of record associated with 
     the CHAMP program to include major acquisition milestone 
     events, which shall also include an assessment of the extent 
     to which the CHAMP program could be accelerated;
       (5) The fiscal profile, by account, that supports this plan 
     to recapitalize the RRF component of the NDRF and the MSC's 
     surge fleet; and
       (6) Additional legislative authorities, if any, necessary 
     to continue meeting Department of Defense sealift 
     requirements while recapitalizing the surge sealift force. 
     Any such authorities should be supported by appropriate 
     analysis and justification.
        The conferees' intent in revising section 231 of title 10, 
     United States Code, is to provide greater visibility of the 
     Navy's long-term plans for auxiliary vessels. The Navy's 
     annual 30-year shipbuilding plan will now be required to 
     include the ships contained in the auxiliary ship category of 
     Secretary of the Navy Instruction 5030.8, as well as any RRF 
     or MSC surge fleet vessels procured and planned to be 
     procured with Department of Defense appropriations.
      Use of National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund for multiyear 
         procurement of certain critical components (sec. 1022)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1013) that 
     would expand the authority of the Secretary of the Navy to 
     enter into a multiyear contract for certain nuclear-powered 
     vessel components to include missile tubes, torpedo tubes, 
     and propulsors.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would define 
     ``critical components'' as the following: a common missile 
     compartment component, a spherical air flask, an air 
     induction diesel exhaust valve, an auxiliary seawater valve, 
     a hovering valve, a missile compensation valve, a main 
     seawater valve, a launch tube, a trash disposal unit, a 
     logistics escape trunk, a torpedo tube, a weapons shipping 
     cradle weldment, a control surface, a launcher component, and 
     a propulsor.
      Operational readiness of littoral combat ships on extended 
         deployment (sec. 1023)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1017) 
     that would amend title 10, United States Code, to provide the 
     Secretary of the Navy with additional flexibility to maintain 
     Littoral Combat Ships operating on deployments.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
     new authorities provided by the Senate provision on September 
     30, 2020.
        The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report not later 
     than the first day of February of 2019, 2020, and 2021 on the 
     readiness of Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs) operating under the 
     authorities provided by this section. This report shall 
     include each of the following for the previous fiscal year:
       (1) Lessons learned regarding sustainment of LCSs while 
     operating on deployments, including the extent to which 
     shipboard personnel were involved in performing maintenance;
       (2) The sustainment strategy, including maintenance 
     requirements, methods, and costs, utilized to support LCSs 
     while operating on deployments;
       (3) Observations and recommendations regarding these 
     authorities, including modifications that would improve the 
     readiness of LCSs operating on deployments;

[[Page H8991]]

       (4) The effect of these authorities on material readiness 
     and operational availability;
       (5) The extent to which overseas maintenance periodicities 
     were accomplished in the scheduled or allotted timeframes;
       (6) The total cost to sustain LCSs operating on 
     deployments, including all costs for the performance of 
     corrective and preventative maintenance, and all facilitation 
     costs, both ashore and shipboard;
       (7) A detailed comparison of costs, including the cost of 
     labor, between maintenance support provided in the United 
     States and any savings achieved by performing facilities 
     maintenance in foreign shipyards;
       (8) A description of the permanent facilities required to 
     support LCSs while operating on deployments from overseas 
     locations; and
       (9) A recommendation to either maintain or eliminate the 
     sunset of these authorities, which would take effect on 
     September 30, 2020.
        The conferees also direct the Secretary of the Navy to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report not 
     later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
     which includes for the period of fiscal years 2018 through 
     2023: (1) a comprehensive Littoral Combat Ship maintenance 
     plan, by level of maintenance (e.g., depot, intermediate and 
     unit-level) and the implementation schedule for each LCS; and 
     (2) the schedule of LCS inspections that complies with 
     section 7304 of title 10, United States Code (i.e. Board of 
     Inspection and Survey plan for LCSs).
      Availability of funds for retirement or inactivation of 
         Ticonderoga-class cruisers or dock landing ships (sec. 
         1024)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1015) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of the Navy from using funds 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act to retire a cruiser 
     or dock landing ship or place in a modernization status more 
     than six cruisers and one dock landing ship.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
      Policy of the United States on minimum number of battle 
         force ships (sec. 1025)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1016) that 
     would codify at least a 355-ship Navy battle force as U.S. 
     policy.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1016).
        The House recedes.
      Surveying ships (sec. 1026)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1019) 
     that would require the Chief of Naval Operations to conduct a 
     force structure assessment for the purpose of establishing a 
     surveying ship requirement and provide the results to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than 120 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.

                      Subtitle D--Counterterrorism

      Modification of authority on support of special operations 
         to combat terrorism (sec. 1031)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1025) that 
     would modify the biannual reporting requirements located in 
     section 127e(g) of title 10, United States Code.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1202) that would modify section 127e of title 10, United 
     States Code related to oversight responsibilities and 
     reporting requirements.
        The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
      Termination of requirement to submit annual budget 
         justification display for Department of Defense combating

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1023) that would 
     prohibit the use of any amounts authorized to be appropriated 
     or otherwise made available for the Department of Defense to 
     be used during the period beginning on the date of the

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1033).
       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibition on use of funds to close or relinquish control of 
         United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (sec. 
         1036)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1026) that would 
     extend through fiscal year 2018, the prohibition on the use 
     of funds to close or abandon United States Naval Station, 
     Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to relinquish control of Guantanamo Bay

     express the sense of Congress that military judges overseeing 
     military commissions in United States Naval Station,

     certain Secretary of the Navy funds until a report on ship 
     depot maintenance capability and capacity required for U.S. 
     Navy ships operating in the western Pacific Ocean is

     this project is approximately $97.0 million.
       The conferees are also aware that there may be 
     infrastructure investments required to support the 
     reestablishment of a drydock capability on Guam. If the 
     report, certification, or business case analysis required by 
     this section demonstrate a requirement for investments in 
     either the Lima Wharf project or infrastructure to support 
     the reestablishment of a drydock capability on Guam, the

     of the Air Force and the United States Marine Corps, or the 
     date on which the transition program ends, whichever is 
     later.

     assistance from the United States by reason of a 
     determination by the Secretary of State that there is 
     credible evidence that such unit has committed a gross

     The amendment also calls for a report on the Comptroller 
     General's final assessment to be submitted to the 
     congressional defense committees.
       The conferees agree that this provision will address the 
     reporting requirements as required in the House report 
     accompanying H.R. 2810 (H. Rept. 115-200) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 on armored 
     combat team modernization, and, as a result, the Secretary of 
     the Army and the Comptroller General of the United States are 
     not required to provide the report specified in H. Rept. 115-
     200.
       The conferees expect that this strategy will explicitly 
     address the Army's vision, end-state, key objectives, war 
     fighting challenges, and risks. It should be sufficiently 
     descriptive to drive requirements, set priorities, identify 
     opportunity costs, and establish acquisition timelines.
       The strategy shall describe how the Army intends to fight 
     and win as part of a joint force engaged in combat across all 
     operational domains to include: current trends and 
     developments in weapons and equipment technologies; the rapid 
     pace with which potential peer adversaries are evolving new 
     tactics and force design; and the definition of what the Army 
     will need to maintain command, control, communications, and 
     sustainment of dispersed combat and combat support units in 
     the face of electronic and cyber-attacks.
     Report on Army plan to improve operational unit readiness by 
         reducing number of non-deployable soldiers assigned to 
         operational units (sec. 1062)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1063) that

     plan to improve operational unit readiness by reducing the 
     number of non-deployable soldiers assigned to those units and 
     replacing them with soldiers capable of worldwide deployment.
       The conferees are concerned that these levels of non-
     deployable soldiers assigned to operational units are 
     negatively affecting training, training management 
     efficiencies, equipment maintenance, small unit cohesion, and 
     combat effectiveness.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     would require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report on 
     Navy capabilities in the Arctic region to the congressional 
     defense committees not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Comprehensive review of maritime intelligence, surveillance, 
         reconnaissance, and targeting capabilities (sec. 1066)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11607) 
     that would require the Secretary of the Navy to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a comprehensive review of 
     maritime intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees understand Navy leaders are pursuing 
     initiatives focused on greater weapon lethality through 
     increased targeting options, including ``networking 
     everything to everything'', the ``Navy Tactical Cloud'', and 
     the ``kill web''. The conferees' intent is for this report to 
     evaluate the sufficiency of these initiatives to meet the 
     maritime intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and 
     targeting (ISR&T) warfighting requirements for Navy ships, 
     submarines, and aircraft in highly contested environments.
       The conferees are concerned that the advanced electronic 
     warfare capabilities, including jamming, of potential 
     adversaries could result in more vulnerable ``inorganic'' 
     capabilities and networks in a ``kill web'', as compared to 
     ``organic'' sensors on platforms. The conferees expect to 
     learn from this report if warfighting requirements for ISR&T 
     in contested electromagnetic environments necessitate greater 
     ISR&T capability or capacity on and from ships and submarines 
     (i.e. ``organic'' ISR&T).
       Additionally, the conferees seek to understand the 
     information architecture into which various existing and 
     planned ISR&T systems will integrate, with particular 
     attention given to sufficiency, effectiveness, latency, and 
     redundancy.

     plan for the Department of Defense and recommendations for 
     other agencies for how certain foreign investments can be 
     better vetted. This provision would also direct the 
     Department of Defense to provide to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives an 
     interim report within 90 days and a final report within 180 
     days of the enactment of this Act.

     defense industrial sector. The provision would further 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop and maintain a 
     database of all relevant transactions.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on implementation of requirements in connection with 
         the organization of the Department of Defense for 
         management of special operations forces and special 
         operations (sec. 1074)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10901) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives a report on the implementation of section 922 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2354) and the amendments 
     made by that section not later than 90 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees note that section 922 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2017 (P.L.114-328) included 
     a number of reforms designed to enhance the role of the 
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low 
     Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) in providing for the oversight 
     and advocacy of special operations forces (SOF). The 
     conferees support efforts by the Department to implement 
     these reforms, including by taking steps to emphasize the 
     role of the ASD SOLIC in budgeting, programming, and 
     personnel matters in recent months. However, the conferees 
     also believe much more remains to be done to achieve the full 
     intent of the provision. In particular, the conferees believe 
     that the ``service secretary-like'' mission of the ASD SOLIC 
     should be more robustly manned and resourced in order to 
     fulfill the ASD SOLIC's mandate under title 10, United States 
     Code. The conferees believe that the ASD SOLIC is unlikely to 
     be able to effectively achieve congressional intent within 
     its currently assigned manpower and resources.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Comptroller General of 
     the United States to submit to the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
     review of the report required by this section that assesses: 
     1) the extent to which the report addressed elements 
     described in subsection (b) of such section; 2) the adequacy 
     and completeness of the assumptions reviewed to establish the 
     manpower requirements described in the report; 3) any actions 
     taken or planned to implement actions identified in the 
     report; and 4) any other matters the Comptroller General 
     determines are relevant. Not later than 90 days after the 
     date on which the Department submits the required report, the 
     Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the Committee 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives the preliminary results of its assessment.
     Report on the global food system and vulnerabilities relevant 
         to Department of Defense missions (sec. 1075)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11002) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
     with the heads of such components of the Department of 
     Defense as the Secretary considers appropriate, to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees an assessment of 
     Department of Defense policies and operational plans for 
     addressing the national security implications of global food 
     system vulnerabilities not later than one year after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     1094), that together would authorize two types of funds for 
     the purpose of modernizing the federal government's legacy 
     information technology (IT) and to incentivize IT savings in 
     federal agencies. The provisions authorize all Chief 
     Financial Officer (CFO) Act agencies to establish agency-
     specific IT modernization funds and the U.S. Office of 
     Management and Budget (OMB) to oversee a government-wide IT 
     modernization fund in the U.S Department of Treasury to be 
     administered by the General Services Administration.

     interment sites and consistent with the applicable 
     requirements of section 2409(b)(2)(E) of title 38, United 
     States Code.
     Department of Defense engagement with covered non-Federal 
         entities (sec. 1088)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1082) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate on the contributions of 
     qualified non-Federal entities to the effectiveness of the 
     mission of the Department of Defense and would require the 
     Secretary of Defense not later than 120 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act to conduct a review of guidance 
     within the Department of Defense (DOD) applicable to 
     collaborations between military commanders and qualified non-

     require the Secretary of the Army to transfer surplus 
     firearms to the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle 
     Practice and Firearms Safety. This provision would also

     terminate the pilot program established in section 1087 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 113-66).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1087) and would require further that such pistols be sold at 
     fair market value and that the proceeds of such sales, less

     assessing future transfers of excess firearms to the 
     Corporation with a final report delivered to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than January 1,

     committees an independent review of the FFRDC evaluation 
     not later than 120 days after the Secretary of the Army 
     submits the evaluation to Congress.
        The conferees note that after the temporary directive 
     authority has expired, and if no further legislative action 
     is taken, the Army shall revert to the permissive authority 
     currently in statute.
     Collaboration between Federal Aviation Administration and 
         Department of Defense on unmanned aircraft systems (sec. 
         1092)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1082) that would 
     encourage the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the 
     Department of Defense (DOD) to collaborate on sense-and-avoid 
     capabilities for unmanned aircraft systems.

[[Page H8996]]

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would restore the 
     rules adopted by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation 
     Administration governing the registration and marking 
     requirements of small unmanned aircraft that were published 
     on December 16, 2015.
       The conferees believe it is in the national interest to 
     effectively and expeditiously integrate unmanned aircraft 
     systems into the National Airspace System (NAS). In 
     particular, the conferees believe FAA and DOD collaboration 
     regarding sense and avoid technology is necessary to 
     facilitate DOD unmanned aircraft into the NAS for operational 
     and testing requirements in an efficient and timely manner. 
     Further, the conferees believe that registration of unmanned 
     aircraft is consistent with the long-standing requirement for 
     registration of aircraft under title 49, United States Code, 
     section 44101, and is necessary to promote safety and 
     security among all current and future users of the NAS.
     Carriage of certain programming (sec. 1093)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1089A)

     of television stations to the extent that such content is 
     owned, controlled, or financed (in whole or in part) by the 
     Government of the Russian Federation; or (2) lease, or 
     otherwise make available, channel capacity to any person for 
     the provision of video programming that is owned, controlled, 
     or financed (in whole or in part) by the Government of the 
     Russian Federation. The provision would not apply to the 
     editorial use by certain kinds of television stations of 
     programming that is owned, controlled, or financed (in whole 
     or in part) by the Government of the Russian Federation.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.

     after the submission of the strategy, the President would 
     also be required to submit an assessment of the 
     implementation, progress, and changes to the strategy.

     require the Secretary of Defense, at the request of the 
     chairman of a specified committee, to make available to that 
     chairman a settlement agreement in a civil action involving 
     the Department of Defense, a military department, or a 
     Defense Agency, if, in the opinion of the Secretary, in 
     consultation with the Attorney General, the terms of such 
     settlement agreement affect the congressional authorization 
     or appropriations process with respect to the Department of 
     Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     role of the ranking member of the requesting committee, the 
     type of applicable civil action, and the actions the 
     Secretary of Defense must take in response to a request for a 
     settlement agreement, as well as make other clarifying 
     amendments. The amendment would also remove the requirement 
     for the chairman of the requesting committee to consult with 
     the Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate 
     or the House of Representatives before making a request.
       The conferees encourage the Chairmen of the Committee on 
     Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives, before making a 
     request under this provision, to notify the Chairman of the 
     Committee on the Judiciary in their respective chamber, when

     require the Secretary of Defense, within 90 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, to conduct a policy review 
     regarding the use of commercial air transportation or 
     alternative forms of air transportation to transport civilian 
     personnel of the Department of Defense to and from 
     Afghanistan.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Calculations for payments into Department of Defense Military 
         Retirement Fund using single level percentage of basic 
         pay determined on Armed Force-wide rather than Armed 
         Forces-wide basis
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1002) that 
     would amend section 1465 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     change the calculation of the single level percentage applied 
     to basic pay with respect to the required monthly deposits 
     into the Military Retirement Fund by the military services to 
     a single rate for each military service, rather than the 
     single aggregate normal cost method now used, in order to 
     increase budgetary transparency with respect to the relative 
     long-term costs associated with changes in end strength and 
     benefits among the military services. The change in the 
     method of calculation would be effective for contributions to 
     the Fund beginning in fiscal year 2019.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to assess the adequacy of the single-level, aggregate, 
     percentage required under current law in calculating 
     contributions to the Military Retirement Fund in meeting the 
     goal of budgetary transparency with respect to changes and 
     proposed changes to force structure and retirement and 
     related benefits, and to consider whether changing such 
     method as proscribed in section 1002 of the Senate-passed 
     bill would increase such transparency with respect to each 
     military service. The Comptroller General shall assess the 
     effect of such a change as proscribed in section 1002 of the 
     Senate bill on each military service, as well as consider 
     whether such a change is feasible and advisable. In 
     conducting this assessment, the Comptroller General shall 
     consider the 2017 report by RAND entitled ``Toward Efficient 
     Military Retirement Accrual Charges,'' and the conclusions 
     and recommendations contained therein. The Comptroller 
     General shall report to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and House of Representatives by no later than 
     April 1, 2018, on the results of this assessment.
     Certifications on audit readiness of the Department of 
         Defense and the military departments, Defense Agencies, 
         and other organizations and elements of the Department of 
         Defense
       The Senate amendment contained two provisions (sec. 1003 
     and sec. 6006) relating to certification of the Department of 
     Defense's financial statements related to audit.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Information on Department of Defense funding in Department 
         press releases and related public statements on programs,

     that DOD funds were used to fund programs, projects, or 
     activities in DOD public press releases, statements, or 
     documents that describe a program or project. The provision 
     would also require DOD to estimate the amount of funding the 
     program or project currently receives, when referenced in a 
     press release or public document.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     amend section 7310(b)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     prohibit the Department of the Navy from performing any 
     overhaul, repair, or maintenance work that takes longer than 
     six months in foreign shipyards.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     territory.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Transfer of funds to World War I Centennial Commission
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1038) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer funding to the 
     World War I Centennial Commission to assist the Commission in 
     carrying out activities in support of the World War I 
     Centennial Commission Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

     Requirement relating to transfer of excess Department of 
         Defense equipment to Federal and State agencies
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1042) that would 
     amend section 2576(a) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     allow the Department of Defense (DOD) to give first 
     preference in the transfer of certain DOD excess personal 
     property to the Department of Homeland Security and then to 
     Federal and State agencies tasked with strengthening security 
     along the southern border of the United States.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that under the current ``1033 program,'' 
     the Secretary of Defense may prioritize the transfer of 
     excess property to Federal and State agencies deemed suitable 
     for use in counterdrug, counterterrorism, and border security 
     activities. The conferees acknowledge the importance of all 
     of these missions, including border security, and further 
     note that on April 6, 2017, General Lori Robinson, Commander 
     of U.S. Northern Command, testified before the U.S. Senate 
     Committee on Armed Services that ``all the support that we 
     give to Department of Homeland Security on the border is 
     incredibly important.'' The conferees support ongoing efforts 
     by DOD, in coordination with the Department of Homeland 
     Security, in accomplishing all of their missions, including 
     securing the borders of the United States. The conferees urge 
     DOD to continue these efforts and to coordinate with the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security to identify opportunities to 
     provide additional support.
     Department of Defense integration of information operations 
         and cyber-enabled information operations
       The Senate amendment contained two provisions (sec. 1042 
     and sec. 11003) relating to Department of Defense integration 
     of information operations and cyber-enabled information 
     operations.
       The House bill contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress on the basing of KC-46A aircraft outside 
         the continental United States
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1047) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the 
     Air Force should place emphasis on and consider the benefits 
     derived from locations outside the continental United States 
     for the basing of KC-46A aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees believe that basing decisions for the KC-46A 
     aircraft should continue to include operational 
     considerations, installation attributes, economic and 
     environmental factors, and military judgement for sites 
     located both inside and outside the continental United 
     States.
     Sense of Congress on use of test sites for research and 
         development on countering unmanned aircraft systems
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1049) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that unmanned aircraft 
     systems deployed by adversaries of the United States pose a 
     significant threat to the Armed Forces and United States 
     interests and that the Armed Forces should, as appropriate 
     and to the extent practicable, seek to leverage test sites 
     designated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and 
     Department of Defense (DOD) facilities for research and 
     development on capabilities to counter the nefarious use of 
     unmanned aircraft systems.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees acknowledge the growing threat posed by the 
     nefarious use of unmanned aircraft systems to military 
     installations, critical infrastructure, members of the Armed 
     Forces, and numerous other facilities and assets important to 
     the United States at home and abroad. The conferees therefore 
     encourage DOD to closely collaborate with the FAA to leverage 
     their unique facilities and capabilities to develop measures 
     that address this threat.
     Reports on infrastructure and capabilities of Lajes Field, 
         Portugal

     require reports on the infrastructure and capabilities and 
     the fuel storage system of Lajes Field, Portugal.

       The conferees note the longstanding close political, 
     economic, and strategic ties between the United States and 
     Portugal, and the significant defense cooperation between the 
     two nations. The conferees recognize the continued strategic 
     importance of Lajes Air Base and its contributions to global 
     security. The conferees encourage the Department of Defense 
     to explore additional options to maintain presence at Lajes 
     Air Base in support of national security missions. The 
     conferees also encourage the Department of Defense and the 
     Department of State to continue efforts with Portuguese and 
     Azorean officials, including through the U.S.-Portugal 
     Standing Bilateral Commission, to explore options for 
     cooperation on the Azores regional economic development and 
     to minimize the impacts to the local population from the 
     consolidation of the Air Force's force structure and 
     operations at Lajes.

     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     deliver, not later than 90 days after the enactment of this 
     Act, a report to the congressional defense committees on the 
     adoption of project, program, and portfolio management 
     standards within the Department of Defense. This provision 
     would also direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to deliver a report to the congressional defense 
     committees on enhancing portfolio management capabilities and 
     structure within the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to deliver, not later than 90 days after enactment, a

     provide that the residence of the spouse of a member of the 
     Armed Forces is the State of the permanent duty station of 
     the member, for purposes of federal firearms laws.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the residence of a spouse of a 
     member of the Armed Forces is the State in which that spouse 
     resides, which is the State of the permanent duty station of 
     the member, or such other State where the spouse may reside.
     Recognition of the United States Special Operations Command
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1069) that would 
     recognize contributions made by the U.S. Special Operations 
     Command.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Annual reports on approval of employment or compensation of 
         retired general or flag officers by foreign governments 
         for Emoluments Clause purposes
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1069) that 
     would amend section 908 of title 37, United States Code, to 
     require the service secretaries to submit to certain 
     congressional committees an annual report on approval of 
     employment or compensation of retired general or flag 
     officers by foreign governments for which the consent of

         Youth Challenge Program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1071) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that it is critical to allocate 
     the necessary resources to the National Guard Youth Challenge 
     Program of the Department of Defense as it plays a critical 
     role in preparing the next generation of qualified youth for 
     military service.

     Report on large-scale, joint exercises involving the air and 
         land domains
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1071) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on large-scale, joint 
     exercises involving the air and land domains.

[[Page H8998]]

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that both the Chief of Staff of the Army 
     and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force have testified about 
     the importance of training for complex combined arms 
     operations, yet few large-scale, joint Army and Air Force 
     exercises exist to stress interoperability in contested air 
     and land domains. The conferees believe large-scale, joint 
     training exercises that stress interoperability across 
     domains are a vital part of establishing and maintaining 
     military readiness for conflicts involving near-peer 
     competitors.
       Therefore, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives on existing large-scale, joint 
     exercises involving the air and land domains; any plans to 
     expand the scale and scope of existing large-scale air and 
     sea domain exercises to include the land domain; and plans to 
     conduct new large-scale, joint exercises in the air and land 
     domains.
       In addition, the report shall include an analysis of 
     potential locations for the planned expanded and new 
     exercises included in the report, with priority given to 
     locations that facilitate training with:
       (1) sufficient overlapping airspace and ground range 
     capabilities and capacity to meet the training requirements 
     for operating within an anti-access area denial environment 
     for air and ground operations;
       (2) the ability to host bilateral and multilateral training 
     exercises with international partners in both the air and 
     land domains;
       (3) limited encroachments that adversely impact training or 
     operations;
       (4) robust use of the electromagnetic spectrum, including 
     global positioning system, atmospheric, and communications-
     jamming.

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1073) that 
     would direct the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct a 
     business case analysis on the establishment of an active or 
     classic association with the 168th Air Refueling Wing.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress regarding Pacific War Memorial
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1075) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that a Pacific War memorial 
     should be established at a suitable location at or near the 
     Pearl Harbor site of the World War II Valor in the Pacific 
     National Monument in Honolulu, Hawaii.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize that there is currently no memorial 
     that specifically honors the members of the United States 
     Armed Forces who served in the Pacific Theater of World War 
     II, also known as the Pacific War.
       The conferees believe that a Pacific War memorial should be 
     established at a suitable location at or near the Pearl 
     Harbor site of the World War II Valor in the Pacific National 
     Monument in Honolulu, Hawaii.
     Federal charter for Spirit of America
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1080) that would 
     amend title 36, United States Code, to establish a federal 
     charter for Spirit of America.

     1083) that would amend title 36, United States Code, to 
     establish a federal charter for Spirit of America.

     Protection against misuse of Naval Special Warfare Command 
         insignia
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1081) that 
     would add a new section 7882 to title 10, United States Code, 
     to prohibit a person from using any covered Naval Special 
     Warfare insignia in connection with any promotion, good, 
     service, or other commercial activity when a particular use 
     would be likely to suggest a false affiliation, connection, 
     or association with, endorsement by, or approval of, the 
     United States Government, the Department of Defense, or the 
     Department of the Navy, and to authorize the Attorney General 
     to initiate civil proceedings to prevent unauthorized use of 
     such insignia.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives, no later than April 1, 2018, 
     containing the following elements: (1) An analysis of which 
     components of the Department of Defense are in need of 
     statutory protection against misuse of official insignia; (2) 
     An analysis of why current protections in law are not 
     sufficient to protect against misuse of official insignia; 
     (3) A comparison of statutes that currently exist in law for 
     the Department of Defense, ranked by effectiveness; and (4) 
     An identification of specific harms currently caused by the 
     misuse of official insignia and whether a legislative remedy 
     is required to best address those harms.
     Reconsideration of claims for disability compensation for 
         veterans who were the subjects of mustard gas or Lewisite 
         experiments during World War II
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1084) that 
     would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to reconsider all 
     claims for compensation under chapter 11 of title 38, United 
     States Code, that were denied before the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, and to make a disability determination 
     in connection with full-body exposure to mustard gas or 
     Lewisite during active military, naval, or air service during 
     World War II. The provision would require the Secretary of 
     Veterans or the Secretary of Defense to presume that a 
     veteran experienced full-body exposure to mustard gas or 
     Lewisite, unless proven otherwise, when reconsidering a 
     claim.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that Section 502 of the Harry W. Colmery 
     Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-
     48) requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to 
     reconsider all claims for compensation under chapter 11 of 
     title 38, United States Code, that were denied before the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, and to make a 
     disability determination in connection with full-body 
     exposure to mustard gas or Lewisite during active 
     military, naval, or air service during World War II.
     Exception to the interdepartmental waiver doctrine for 
         cleanup of vehicle crashes
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1086) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to expend funds to 
     clean up vehicle crashes on another Federal department or 
     agency's property if the crash was the result of a Department 
     of Defense activity.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 2816).
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that this authority was included in a 
     separate provision that has been included in the conference 
     agreement.

     after 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, to 
     deny or revoke the eligibility of a health care provider to 
     provide non-department health care services to veterans if 
     the Secretary determines that the health care provider: (1) 
     Was removed from employment with the VA due to a violation of 
     department policy relating to the delivery of safe, 
     appropriate health care; (2) Violated the requirements of a 
     medical license of the provider; (3) Had a credential revoked 
     on grounds relating to the provider's ability to deliver 
     safe, appropriate health care; or (4) Violated a law for 
     which imprisonment of more than 1 year may be imposed.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the VA has existing authority to deny or 
     revoke the eligibility of a health care provider to provide 
     non-department health care services to veterans under the 
     conditions described above. Furthermore, the conferees are 
     aware that the Committee on Veterans Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives intends to address this issue as it relates 
     to community care provided to veterans under the Veterans 
     Choice Act.

     would require the Comptroller General to report on Department 
     of Defense installation access control initiatives.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to submit to the congressional defense committees a

     after the enactment of this Act. The evaluation should 
     include the following elements:
       (1) An assessment of Department of Defense requirements for 
     managing access to military installations and the extent to 
     which the Department has taken an enterprise-wide approach to 
     developing those requirements and identifying capability 
     gaps.
       (2) A description of capabilities (processes and systems) 
     that are in place at military installations that currently 
     meet these requirements.

       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1105) that would extend section 1125(a) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328) through fiscal year 2019.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment requiring a briefing 
     by the Secretary of Defense no later than 90 days after the

     Extension of authority to provide voluntary separation 
         incentive pay for civilian employees of the Department of 
         Defense (sec. 1103)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that would 
     extend the authority of the Secretary of Defense provided by 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328) to pay increased voluntary separation

     Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Homeland Security and 
     Government Affairs of the Senate no later than December 31, 
     2019 and December 31, 2021, on the use of the extended 
     authority.
     Additional Department of Defense science and technology 
         reinvention laboratories (sec. 1104)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1103) that would 
     revise and update the list of laboratories designated as 
     Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories to include 
     the Naval Medical Research Center and the Joint Warfighting

     Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center 
     in the list of laboratories designated.
       The conferees note that the authorities granted to science 
     and technology reinvention laboratories are intended to be 
     executed by laboratory directors at the local laboratory 
     level, so as to be better used to address local management 
     and bureaucratic challenges and avoid the inefficiency and 
     slowness of centralized control over organizations whose 
     missions require agility and innovation. The conferees note 
     that the technical directorates of the Air Force Research

[[Page H9000]]

     Laboratory in essence function as decentralized organizations 
     under a larger corporate umbrella, and thus express many of 
     the characteristics of independent laboratories.
       The conferees expect that all authorities designed to ease 
     bureaucratic burdens on the laboratories will be delegated to 
     local laboratory directors and used, consistent with 
     congressional intent, to the maximum intent practicable to 
     support research efforts. In particular, the conferees urge 
     the laboratory commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory 
     to delegate all such authorities to directors of the 
     laboratory's technical directorates. These authorities 
     include all authorities that have been previously authorized 
     by Congress and by the Department of Defense.

     110-417) to waive the annual limitation on premium pay and 
     the aggregate limitation of pay for federal civilian 
     employees working overseas until September 30, 2019.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1112).

         Department of Defense workforce (sec. 1106)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1106) that 
     would extend the financial management hiring authority 
     granted in section 1110 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-38) to several 
     Department of Defense components not included in the military 
     departments or defense agencies.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1106) 
     that would expand the number of Department of Defense 
     components that may hire financial management experts using 
     direct hire authority.
       The House recedes with an amendment that adds a briefing to 
     the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives, the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     Senate, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of 
     the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland 
     Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate in fiscal

         Range and Test Facilities Base civilian personnel (sec. 
         1107)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1107) that would 
     amend subsection (a) of section 1132 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     to extend authority for temporary civilian personnel 
     flexibilities for domestic defense industrial base facilities 
     and Major Range and Test Facilities through fiscal year 2021.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

     year the authority of heads of federal agencies to provide 
     allowances, benefits, and gratuities comparable to those 
     provided to members of the Foreign Service to an agency's 
     employees on official duty in a combat zone.

     1113).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Extension of overtime rate authority for Department of the 
         Navy employees performing work aboard or dockside in 
         support of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier forward 
         deployed in Japan (sec. 1109)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1109) that would 
     extend by one year the authority of the Secretary of the Navy 
     to pay overtime pay to civilian employees performing work in 
     support of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier forward 
     deployed in Japan.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Pilot program on enhanced personnel management system for 
         cybersecurity and legal professionals in the Department 
         of Defense (sec. 1110)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1101) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot

     in pay grades GS-15 and below within the Department of 
     Defense, commencing January 1, 2020.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Establishment of senior scientific technical managers at 
         Major Range and Test Facility Base Facilities and Defense 
         Test Resource Management Center (sec. 1111)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1104) that 
     would amend section 2358a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     explicitly include the test and evaluation centers, defined 
     as each facility of the Major Range and Test Facility Base, 
     and the Defense Test Resource Management Center.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment specifying 
     that each organization may hire at least one senior 
     scientific technical manager, regardless of the number of 
     scientists and engineers employed.
       The conferees note that this authority does not yet include 
     the Operational Test Agencies, nor the Developmental Test and 
     Evaluation office, housed within the Office of the Secretary 
     of Defense. The conferees believe there may be merit to 
     including these organizations in the future and direct the 
     Department of Defense to submit to the Congressional defense 
     committees a recommendation on whether these organizations 
     could benefit from the hiring of senior scientific technical

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6013) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to brief the 
     Committees on

[[Page H9001]]

     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     on the Department's plans to develop and improve additive 
     manufacturing, not later than December 1, 2017, to include 
     the Department's plans to: develop military and quality 
     assurance standards as quickly as possible; leverage current 
     manufacturing institutes to conduct research in the 
     validation of quality standards for additive manufactured 
     parts; and further integrate additive manufacturing 
     capabilities and capacity into the Department's organic 
     depots, arsenals, and shipyards.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees are aware of the significant possibilities 
     that additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, will provide to 
     the Department of Defense, both in revolutionizing the 
     industrial supply chain, as well as in providing radically 
     new technological capabilities. The ability to utilize new 
     materials in new ways, such as titanium or explosives, or to 
     develop new manufacturing processes, has the potential to 
     transform how the Department does business. The establishment 
     of new Defense Manufacturing Innovation Institutes, as well 
     as the growing prevalence of 3-D printers at tactical levels, 
     indicates the Department sees that potential as well. 
     Additive manufacturing could also greatly improve the organic 
     industrial base's ability to respond to demands that original 
     equipment manufacturers are unable to meet or to fabricate 
     obsolete parts that are no-longer manufactured.
       The conferees understand that an inhibitor to seeing the 
     full potential of this technology will be the need to do 
     quality assurance and validation of additive manufactured 
     parts, especially for those in flight or safety-critical 
     systems. Until the Department can develop the standards and 
     processes for assuring quality, 3-D printing will be limited 
     in its application. Also, substantial opportunities remain 
     across the force to add more capacity for this capability, 
     both to repair out-of-date equipment and to speed repair to 
     meet urgent operational requirements.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
     and the Senate Committee on Armed Services not later than 
     April 1, 2018, on the Department's plans to develop and 
     improve additive manufacturing. The briefing shall include 
     the Department's plans to: develop military and quality 
     assurance standards as quickly as possible; leverage current 
     manufacturing institutes to conduct research in the 
     validation of quality standards for additive manufactured 
     parts; and further integrate additive manufacturing 
     capabilities and capacity into the Department's organic 
     depots, arsenals, and shipyards.
     Expansion of SkillBridge initiative to include participation 
         by Federal agencies
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14003) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
     with the Director, Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to 
     make such modifications to the SkillBridge program as 
     necessary to enable Federal agencies to participate in the 
     initiative as employers and trainers, and would require the 
     Director, OPM, to take such actions necessary to ensure the 
     participation of Federal agencies in the SkillBridge program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that, according to the Department of 
     Defense, since its inception in 2012, the SkillBridge 
     program has allowed transitioning Service members to 
     participate in employer-driven job skills training, 
     apprenticeships, and internship programs, beginning up to 
     six months before leaving the military. Through such 
     participation in private-sector SkillBridge training, 
     transitioning Service members have received jobs in dozens 
     of industries, ranging from corporate finance, to advanced 
     manufacturing, to information technology, to cyber 
     security. Just as businesses have greatly benefited from 
     the program and the talents that highly trained Service 
     members bring, so too would the other Federal agencies. 
     The expansion of eligible employers and trainers under the 
     program, to include Federal agencies, would prove mutually 
     beneficial for the Federal Government, non-governmental 
     employers, and transitioning service members. To that end, 
     the conferees strongly urge the Secretary, in consultation 
     with the Director, OPM, to take such actions as are 
     necessary to encourage and enable other Federal agencies 
     to participate in the SkillBridge program.

             Title XII--Matters Relating to Foreign Nations

                  Subtitle A--Assistance and Training

     One-year extension of logistical support for coalition forces 
         supporting certain United States military operations 
         (sec. 1201)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that would 
     amend section 1234 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as most recently 
     amended by section 1201 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), by authorizing 
     the Secretary of Defense to provide supplies, services, 
     transportation, and other logistical support to coalition 
     forces supporting U.S. operations in the Republic of Iraq and 
     the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan during fiscal year 2018.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Support of special operations for irregular warfare (sec. 
         1202)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1201) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the 
     concurrence of the relevant Chief of Mission, to expend up to 
     $10.0 million annually through fiscal year 2021 to provide 
     support to foreign forces, irregular forces, groups, or 
     individuals engaged in supporting or facilitating ongoing 
     irregular warfare operations by U.S. Special Operations 
     Forces (SOF).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that strengthens 
     congressional oversight, requires additional legal reviews 
     and determinations, and clarifies notification and reporting 
     mechanisms.
       The conferees note the importance of this authority to 
     address strategic irregular warfare challenges identified by 
     combatant commanders. The conferees emphasize that this 
     authority shall only be used to facilitate ongoing and 
     authorized operations by United States Special Operations 
     Forces. Elsewhere in this report, the conferees outline 
     additional guidance regarding the prudent use of this 
     authority, and the importance of continued dialogue between 
     the Department of Defense and the congressional defense 
     committees as procedures are developed and initiatives are 
     considered.
       Lastly, the conferees note the limitation on the use of 
     this authority until the delivery of the related 
     unconventional warfare strategy required by section 1097 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92). The required strategy should 
     holistically discuss long-term Department of Defense 
     capability requirements and their integration with other 
     interagency capabilities, along with those of our partners 
     and allies, to counter unconventional and irregular warfare 
     threats.
     Obligation of funds in Special Defense Acquisition Fund for 
         precision guided munitions (sec. 1203)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1281) that 
     would amend section 114 of title 10, United States Code. The 
     provision would change current requirements that of the 
     amount available in the Special Defense Acquisition Fund 
     (SDAF), $500.0 million may only be used to procure and stock 
     precision guided munitions. Instead, the provision would 
     require that 20 percent of available obligation authority in 
     the SDAF be used on precision guided munitions and associated 
     support equipment and services.
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that would 
     clarify the use of funds for the procurement of precision 
     guided munitions with the SDAF. The provision would reduce 
     the size of SDAF to $2.0 billion and allow the size of SDAF 
     to exceed such limit by $500.0 million if used to procure and 
     stock precision guided munitions.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 20 
     percent of annual obligations, instead of obligation 
     authority, be spent on precision guided munitions. 
     Furthermore, this requirement would be in effect through 
     fiscal year 2022.
     Modification of defense institution capacity building and 
         authority to build capacity of foreign security forces 
         (sec. 1204)
       The House bill contained provisions (sec. 1203 and 1204) 
     that would modify sections 332 and 333 of title 10, United 
     States Code, related to the authority to build partner 
     capacity. The provisions would authorize the Secretary of 
     Defense to assign military personnel as advisors or trainers 
     under the Ministry of Defense Advisor program and modify the 
     required elements associated with the authority to build 
     partner capacity by allowing human rights training conducted 
     by the Department of State to satisfy the human rights 
     training requirement.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1203) that would clarify the programs sufficient to satisfy 
     the requirement for institutional capacity building pursuant 
     to section 333(c)(4) of title 10, United States Code. The 
     provision would also modify the Ministry of Defense Advisor 
     program under section 332 of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Extension and modification of authority on training for 
         Eastern European national security forces in the course 
         of multilateral exercises (sec. 1205)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6209) that 
     would extend through calendar year 2020 the authority under 
     section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) for the Secretary of 
     Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to 
     provide multilateral or regional training, and pay the 
     incremental expenses of participating in such training, for 
     countries in Eastern Europe that are a signatory to the 
     Partnership for Peace Framework Documents but not a member of 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or became a 
     NATO member after January 1, 1999. The provision would also 
     amend section 1251 to allow the participation of non-military 
     security forces in such training, and would make other 
     technical and clarifying amendments.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1205).

[[Page H9002]]

       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations for payment of 
     incremental expenses under the authority, including 
     procedures to: (1) require reimbursement of incremental 
     expenses from non-developing countries, and (2) provide a 
     waiver of the requirement of reimbursement of incremental 
     expenses under special circumstances as determined by the 
     Secretary of Defense. The amendment would also clarify that 
     the authority to provide training for national security 
     forces shall not be construed to include authority for the 
     training of irregular forces, groups, or individuals.
     Global Security Contingency Fund (sec. 1206)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1204) that 
     would modify and extend for two years section 1207 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 
     (Public Law 112-81).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority for two years.
     Defense Institute of International Legal Studies (sec. 1207)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1205) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to operate the 
     Defense Institute of International Legal Studies and would 
     require the Secretary to conduct a comprehensive review of 
     the mission, workforce, funding, and other support of the 
     Institute.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 6202) 
     that would require the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a 
     report that addresses the following: (1) a description of the 
     mechanisms and authorities used by the Department of Defense 
     and the Department of State to conduct training of foreign 
     security forces on human rights and international 
     humanitarian law; (2) a description of the funding used for 
     that training; and (3) a description and assessment of the 
     methodology used by each of the Department of Defense and the 
     Department of State to assess the effectiveness of such 
     training. The report shall be submitted no later than May 1, 
     2018.
       The House bill contains no similar provisions.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Extension of participation in and support of the Inter-
         American Defense College (sec. 1208)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1206) that would 
     extend for one year the authority in section 1243(c) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328) with respect to participation in and 
     support for the Inter-American Defense College.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment extending 
     participation in and support of the Inter-American Defense 
     College through fiscal year 2019.
     Plan on improvement of ability of national security forces of 
         foreign countries participating in United States capacity 
         building programs to protect civilians (sec. 1209)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11203) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary 
     of State to jointly submit to the appropriate committees of 
     Congress a report setting forth a plan, to be implemented as 
     part of each institutional capacity building program required 
     by section 333(c)(4) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     improve the ability of foreign governments to protect 
     civilians, not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     required elements of the report.
       The conferees expect the Department to continue its efforts 
     to emphasize strengthening the defense institutions of 
     friendly foreign nations as a key component of its security 
     cooperation programs. The conferees believe that the basic 
     tenets of protection of civilians and transparency should be 
     incorporated as appropriate to its institutional capacity 
     building efforts.

        Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan and Pakistan

     Extension of authority to transfer defense articles and 
         provide defense services to the military and security 
         forces of Afghanistan (sec. 1211)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that would 
     extend through December 31, 2018 the authority under section 
     1222 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2013 (Public Law 112-238), as most recently amended by 
     section 1213 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (114-328), to transfer defense articles 
     being drawn down in Afghanistan and to provide defense 
     services in connection with such transfers to the military 
     and security forces of Afghanistan. The provision would also 
     extend though fiscal year 2018 the exemption for excess 
     defense articles (EDA) transferred from Department of Defense 
     stocks in Afghanistan from counting toward the annual 
     limitation on the aggregate value of EDA transferred under 
     section 516 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Public Law 
     87-195).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1212).
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of 
         certain coalition nations for support provided to United 
         States military operations (sec. 1212)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that would 
     amend section 1233 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), to extend the 
     authority for reimbursement of coalition nations for support 
     provided to the United States for military operations in 
     Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan through December 31, 2018. This 
     provision would also extend, through December 31, 2018, the 
     requirement for the Secretary of Defense to notify the 
     appropriate congressional committees prior to making any 
     reimbursement to the Government of Pakistan for any 
     logistical, military, or other support that Pakistan provides 
     to the United States. Further, this section would extend the 
     requirement for the Secretary of Defense to certify, prior to 
     making any reimbursement to Pakistan, that Pakistan is 
     maintaining security along the Ground Lines of Communication 
     through Pakistan, taking demonstrable steps to support 
     counterterrorism operations, disrupting cross border attacks, 
     and countering the threat of improvised explosive devices. 
     This provision would specify that, of the total amount of 
     reimbursement and support authorized for Pakistan during the 
     period beginning on October 1, 2017, and ending on December 
     31, 2018, $400.0 million would not be eligible for a national 
     security waiver unless the Secretary of Defense certifies 
     that Pakistan has undertaken specified actions against the 
     Haqqani Network.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1213) that would extend for fiscal year 2018 the authority to 
     make Coalition Support Funds (CSF) payments under section 
     1233 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181). The provision would limit the 
     total amount of funds that may be provided in fiscal year 
     2018 to $900.0 million. Of this total, the amount that could 
     be provided to Pakistan would be limited to $700.0 million. 
     The provision would also extend for one year certain 
     notifications and certification requirements relating to 
     payments to Pakistan. The provision would make $350.0 million 
     of this amount contingent upon certification from the 
     Secretary of Defense that Pakistan is taking demonstrable 
     steps against the Haqqani Network and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba in 
     Pakistan.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     CSF authority through December 31, 2018 and remove Lashkar-e-
     Tayyiba from those certification requirements not eligible 
     for a national security waiver.
       The conferees note that action on the part of the 
     Government of Pakistan against Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, as well as 
     other terrorist groups operating within the borders of 
     Pakistan, remains a priority for the United States. The 
     conferees urge the Department of Defense to closely monitor 
     U.S. security assistance to Pakistan, to ensure that Pakistan 
     is not using such assistance to support terrorist groups, and 
     to take appropriate measures to demonstrate to the Pakistani 
     military the consequences of continuing to support such 
     terrorist organizations.
       The conferees remain concerned about the persecution of 
     groups seeking political or religious freedom in Pakistan, 
     including the Balochi, Sindhi, and Hazara ethnic groups, as 
     well as religious groups, including Christian, Hindu, and 
     Ahmadiyya Muslim. Consequently, the conferees believe that 
     the Secretary of Defense should ensure that Pakistan is not 
     using any assistance provided by the United States to 
     persecute minority groups.
       In addition, the conferees note that the authority allows 
     for reimbursement of Pakistan for security activities along 
     the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, including providing training 
     and equipment for the Pakistan Frontier Corps Khyber 
     Pakhtunkhwa. However, the conferees are concerned that 
     Pakistan continues to delay or deny visas for U.S. personnel 
     that could assist with the provision of such training. Given 
     this situation, the conferees recommend that the Department 
     of Defense condition reimbursements for training and 
     equipment with appropriate access by U.S. personnel.
     Special immigrant visas for Afghan allies (sec. 1213)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1217) that 
     would amend the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 (8 
     U.S.C. 1101 note) to authorize an additional 4,000 special 
     immigrant visas for Afghan allies.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize an 
     additional 3,500 special immigrant visas for Afghan allies.
     Extension of authority to acquire products and services 
         produced in countries along a major route of supply to 
         Afghanistan (sec. 1214)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1214) that 
     would extend through December 31, 2019 the authority in 
     section 801(f) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as most recently 
     amended by section 1212 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), to acquire 
     products and services produced in countries along a major 
     route of supply to Afghanistan.

[[Page H9003]]

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension of semiannual report on enhancing security and 
         stability in Afghanistan (sec. 1215)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1215) that 
     would extend through December 15, 2020 the semiannual 
     reporting requirement on enhancing security and stability in 
     Afghanistan.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Human rights vetting of Afghan National Defense and Security 
         Forces (sec. 1216)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6203) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish within 
     the Department of Defense one or more permanent positions to 
     oversee and support, in coordination with the Department of 
     State, the implementation of section 362 of title 10, United 
     States Code, with respect to the Afghan National Defense and 
     Security Forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

         Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Syria, Iraq, and Iran

     Report on United States strategy in Syria (sec. 1221)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) requiring 
     the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary 
     of State, to submit a report not later than February 1, 2018 
     on the strategy of the United States in Syria to appropriate 
     congressional committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     President to submit the report and provide additional 
     descriptions of the impact of the humanitarian situation in 
     Syria on United States objectives, the roles and 
     responsibilities of U.S. allies and partners in establishing 
     regional stability, and the military conditions that must be 
     met for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to be defeated.
       The conferees note that stability in Syria is 
     interdependent with stability in Iraq and they urge the 
     President to consider the relationships between Syria and 
     Iraq when submitting the Syria strategy.
     Extension and modification of authority to provide assistance 
         to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (sec. 
         1222)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that would 
     extend section 1236 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), as most recently 
     amended by section 1222 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), by authorizing 
     the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary 
     of State, to provide $1.3 billion in assistance in fiscal 
     year 2018 to the military and other security forces of, or 
     associated with, the Government of the Republic of Iraq, 
     through December 31, 2019.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1231) that would modify the authority under section 1236 of 
     the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) 
     to provide for infrastructure repair and renovation and 
     small-scale construction of temporary facilities necessary to 
     meet urgent operational or force protection requirements with 
     a cost of less than $4 million in Iraq. The Senate amendment 
     also changed the title of the fund to correspond with 
     Department of Defense guidance on using ``Islamic State of 
     Iraq and Syria'' instead of ``Islamic State of Iraq and the 
     Levant.''
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     House and Senate provisions and make other clarifying 
     changes.
       The conferees acknowledge that the Islamic State of Iraq 
     and Syria (ISIS) continues to pose a threat to the people, 
     government, and territorial integrity of Iraq, including the 
     Iraqi Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish communities and religious and 
     ethnic minorities in Iraq, and to the security and stability 
     of the Middle East and beyond. The conferees also recognize 
     that the defeat of ISIS is critical to maintaining an Iraq in 
     which all faiths, sects, and ethnicities are afforded equal 
     protection and full integration into society. The conferees 
     urge the United States, in coordination with coalition 
     partners, to continue necessary support to the security 
     forces that have a national security mission in their fight 
     against ISIS. The conferees remind the Secretaries that local 
     security forces with a national security mission may include, 
     in addition to Kurdish, Shia, and Sunni tribal elements, 
     local security forces that are committed to protecting highly 
     vulnerable ethnic and religious communities, such as Yazidi, 
     Christian, Assyrian, and Turkoman communities, against the 
     ISIS threat.
       The conferees are alarmed by reports of clashes among 
     security force elements over control of contested areas in 
     Iraq and especially alarmed by reports of engagements between 
     Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Iranian-backed paramilitary 
     forces. The conferees emphasize the significant contributions 
     Kurdish security forces have made to countering ISIS and 
     condemn Iranian interference in Iraqi affairs. The conferees 
     urge all parties to defuse tensions, refrain from further 
     violence, and work peaceably to establish an equitable 
     dispute resolution process that contributes to regional 
     stability and the defeat of ISIS.
     Modification of authority to provide assistance to the vetted 
         Syrian opposition (sec. 1223)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230) that would 
     prohibit the authorization of funds to be appropriated for 
     fiscal year 2018 for the Counter-Islamic State of Iraq and 
     Syria Train and Equip Fund to provide assistance to any 
     recipient of such funds that the Secretary of Defense has 
     reported, pursuant to a quarterly progress report required by 
     section 1209 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), as having previously 
     misused training or equipment provided by the United States.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1232) that 
     would amend section 1209 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act of 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by striking 
     the prior approval reprogramming requirement associated with 
     the authority and replace it with a notification requirement 
     before carrying out new initiatives. Additionally, the 
     provision would modify the authority to provide for 
     infrastructure repair and renovation and small-scale 
     construction of temporary facilities necessary to meet urgent 
     operational or force protection requirements with a cost of 
     less than $4 million in Syria.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would preserve the 
     reprogramming requirement and require additional information 
     to accompany reprogramming requests describing any material 
     misuse of assistance provided by the United States under 
     section 1209.
       The conferees support the Department of Defense's request 
     for a small-scale construction authority with the objective 
     of bolstering the force protection and operational 
     flexibility of vetted Syrian partner forces and coalition 
     advisers. The conferees emphasize this authority is not 
     intended for the construction or reconstruction of 
     infrastructure or other permanent facilities.
     Extension and modification of authority to support operations 
         and activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in 
         Iraq (sec. 1224)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that would 
     amend section 1215 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as most recently 
     amended by section 1223 of the National Defense Authorization

     require additional information on Iran's use of civilian 
     transportation infrastructure and assets to support its

         launches from Iran and imposition of sanctions in 
         connection with those launches (sec. 1226)

         defense systems to the vetted Syrian opposition (sec. 
         1227)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1039) that would

     Defense and Secretary of State jointly notify the 
     congressional defense committees, the Senate Foreign 
     Relations Committee, and the House Foreign Affairs Committee 
     should a determination be made to provide MANPADs to elements 
     of the appropriately vetted Syrian opposition. The provision 
     also contains a prohibition on the use of

[[Page H9004]]

     funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise be made 
     available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2018 
     to be obligated or expended to procure or transfer MANPADs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     second prohibition on the use of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated or otherwise made available for the Department 
     of Defense for fiscal year 2018 to be obligated or expended.
     Report on potential agreement with the Government of the 
         Russian Federation on the status of Syria (sec. 1228)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1058) that would

     report to be submitted no later than five days after any 
     agreement is reached with Russia regarding a political 
     settlement or long-term territorial control in Syria.
       Given the importance of Syria's stability to United States 
     interests in the Middle East, the conferees expect the 
     Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense to keep 
     Congress current and fully informed of any discussions or 
     negotiations with Russia pertaining to any potential 
     agreement regarding a political settlement or long-term 
     territorial control in Syria.

         Subtitle D--Matters Relating to the Russian Federation

     Extension of limitation on military cooperation between the 
         United States and the Russian Federation (sec. 1231)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1231) that would 
     prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise 
     made available by this Act for fiscal year 2018 from being 
     used for bilateral military-to-military cooperation between 
     the United States and the Russian Federation without certain 
     certifications by the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
     with the Secretary of State, or unless certain waiver 
     conditions are met.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1241).
       The House recedes.
     Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty 
         of the Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1232)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that would 
     prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or made 
     available by this Act through fiscal year 2018 for the 
     Department of Defense to implement any activity that 
     recognizes the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over 
     Crimea. The provision included a waiver if the Secretary of 
     Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, 
     determines that to do so would be in the national security 
     interest of the United States and submits a notification of 
     the waiver to certain Congressional committees.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1242).
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress on European security (sec. 1233)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that would 
     state that it is the policy of the United States to sustain 
     credible deterrence against aggression by the Government of 
     the Russian Federation in order to enhance regional and 
     global security and stability. The section would also include 
     a series of findings highlighting continued aggression and 
     intimidation by the Russian Federation against U.S. allies 
     and partners in Europe.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of the Congress that: (1) the United States should 
     support a Europe whole, free, and at peace and the sovereign 
     right of all European states to pursue integration into the 
     Euro-Atlantic community through institutions as the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union; 
     (2) the United States should develop and implement a policy 
     and strategy backed by all elements of United States power to 
     deter and, if necessary, defeat Russian aggression, which 
     will require enhancing United States military capability and 
     capacity in Europe and strengthening United States capability 
     and capacity to counter malign Russian influence; (3) 
     investments that support the security and stability of 
     Europe, including the European Deterrence Initiative, should 
     be included in the President's base budget request for the 
     Department of Defense; (4) the United States should maintain 
     an ironclad commitment to its obligations under Article 5 of 
     the North Atlantic Treaty; (5) it is important that all NATO 
     allies fulfill their commitments to levels and composition of 
     defense expenditures as agreed upon at the NATO 2014 Wales 
     Summit and NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit; (6) NATO allies should 
     continue to coordinate defense investments; (7) it is 
     essential that all NATO allies uphold their obligations under 
     the North Atlantic Treaty to ``safeguard the freedom, common 
     heritage and civilization of their peoples, founded on the 
     principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of 
     law.''
     Modification and extension of Ukraine Security Assistance 
         Initiative (sec. 1234)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6208) that 
     would extend through December 31, 2020, the authority under 
     section 1250 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as amended by section 
     1237 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), for the Secretary of Defense, 
     in coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide 
     security assistance, including defensive lethal assistance, 
     and intelligence support to military and other security 
     forces of the Government of Ukraine. The provision would 
     authorize the use of up to $500.0 million in fiscal year 2018 
     to provide security assistance to Ukraine.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1234).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide 
     additional categories of appropriate security assistance and 
     intelligence support under the Ukraine Security Assistance 
     Initiative, including treatment of wounded Ukrainian soldiers 
     in U.S. medical treatment facilities through the Secretarial 
     Designee Program, air defense and coastal defense radars, 
     naval mine and counter-mine capabilities, and littoral-zone 
     and coastal defense vessels. The amendment would authorize 
     the use of up to $350.0 million in fiscal year 2018 to 
     provide security assistance to Ukraine. The amendment would 
     also prohibit the obligation or expenditure of 50 percent of 
     the funds available for fiscal year 2018 under this authority 
     until the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State, provides a certification concerning 
     Ukraine's progress on defense institutional reforms.
     Limitation on availability of funds relating to 
         implementation of the Open Skies Treaty (sec. 1235)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1235) that would 
     prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds authorized to 
     be appropriated for the Department of Defense for any fiscal 
     year after fiscal year 2017 to conduct a flight for the 
     purposes of implementing the Open Skies Treaty until the 
     President submitted to Congress a plan containing the 
     objectives for all flights in that year. The provision would 
     also prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds for 
     fiscal year 2018 for research, development, test, and 
     evaluation, Air Force, for arms control implementation (PE 
     0305145F) and procurement, Air Force, for digital visual 
     imaging system (BA-05, Line Item #1900) to modify U.S. 
     aircraft for the purposes of implementing the Open Skies 
     Treaty.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     prohibition on expenditure for aircraft modernization to a 
     fence on funding pending two certifications: a certification 
     containing a determination by the Secretary of Defense, 
     without delegation, that the modification of the digital 
     visual imaging systems for the OC-135B Open Skies aircraft 
     will provide superior digital imagery as compared to 
     commercially-available digital imagery; and a certification 
     by the President that he has imposed both treaty violation 
     responses and legal countermeasures on the Russian Federation 
     in response to its treaty violations and fully informed the 
     appropriate congressional committees of such actions.
     Sense of Congress on importance of nuclear capabilities of 
         NATO (sec. 1236)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1236) that would 
     make a series of findings and express the sense of Congress 
     regarding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's nuclear 
     deterrence capability.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on Security Cooperation with respect to Western Balkan 
         countries (sec. 1237)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1239) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State, to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees and others a report on the defense and security 
     relationship between Serbia and the Russian Federation.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary 
     of State, to submit to the congressional defense committees 
     and others, a report on security cooperation with respect to 
     Western Balkan countries, including Serbia, Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Macedonia. The amendment would 
     require that the report include assessments of security 
     cooperation between each of the specified countries and the 
     Russian Federation, the United States, and the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO), among other elements.
       The conferees remain concerned over Russia's intensifying 
     effort to assert its malign influence in the Western Balkans. 
     The conferees condemn Russia's involvement in the attempted 
     coup against the government of Montenegro, and believe the 
     United States should maintain a policy of support for the 
     sovereign right of the countries of the Western Balkans to 
     pursue integration into the Euro-Atlantic community through 
     institutions including NATO and the European Union.

[[Page H9005]]

  

     Plan to respond in case of Russian noncompliance with the New 
         START Treaty (sec. 1238)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240) that would 
     require the President to submit a report to Congress 
     including options in response to a possible failure by the 
     Russian Federation to comply with the New START Treaty by the 
     deadline of February 5, 2018, as well as an assessment of 
     whether such a failure would constitute material breach of 
     the treaty.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Strategy to counter threats by the Russian Federation (sec. 
         1239)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1253) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State and in consultation with each of the 
     secretaries of the military departments, the Joint Chiefs of 
     Staff, and the commanders of each of the regional and 
     functional combatant commands, to develop and implement a 
     comprehensive strategy to counter threats by the Russian 
     Federation. The provision would also require a report on the 
     strategy with specified elements not later than 180 days 
     after the enactment of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add to the 
     specified elements of the required report plans to increase 
     conventional precision strike weapon stockpiles in the United 
     States European Command's area of responsibility and to 
     counter the military capabilities of the Russian Federation.
       The conferees note that the Russian Federation's aggressive 
     actions threaten our national security, democratic values, 
     and the cohesion of our alliances. These challenges require a 
     comprehensive strategy backed by all elements of United 
     States power to deter, and, if necessary defeat Russian 
     aggression and to counter malign Russian influence. Such a 
     strategy must be based on a clear understanding of the 
     Russian Federation's strategic objectives and the ongoing 
     threats its aggressive actions present.
     Strategy to counter the threat of malign influence by the 
         Russian Federation (sec. 1239A)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State 
     to develop jointly a plan to enhance cyber planning and 
     information operations and strategic communications 
     strategies to counter Russian information warfare, malign 
     influence, and propaganda activities. The plan would also 
     identify areas of potential cybersecurity collaboration with 
     NATO and other European allies and partners.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State, in 
     coordination with the appropriate United States Government 
     officials, to develop jointly a comprehensive strategy to 
     counter the threat of malign influence by the Russian 
     Federation. The strategy would include actions to counter 
     hybrid warfare operations; to deter, and respond when 
     necessary, to malicious Russian cyber activities; to identify 
     and defend against malign Russian influence threats; and to 
     promote core U.S. values and principles, strengthen democracy 
     among European allies and partners, and further integration 
     into multilateral organizations including the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization and the European Union. The Secretary of 
     Defense and Secretary of State would jointly submit to the 
     appropriate committees of Congress a report detailing the 
     required strategy.
       The conferees note that Russian malign influence activities 
     pose a fundamental threat to security and democracy in the 
     United States, Europe, and elsewhere. Russian aggression 
     urgently demands an integrated whole-of-government approach, 
     undertaken in close collaboration with U.S. allies and 
     partners. The conferees believe it is vital to understand the 
     extent of Russian interference in our fundamental 
     institutions and to develop a strategy to counter that 
     threat. The conferees urge action without delay to formulate 
     a comprehensive strategy that ensures the United States can 
     detect, deter, and counter this fundamental threat to 
     democratic institutions and the international global order.

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

     INF Treaty Preservation Act of 2017 (secs. 1241-1242, 1246)
       The House bill contained several provisions (sec. 1241, 
     1242, and 1248) related to the INF Treaty Preservation Act of 
     2017, including the title, a series of findings regarding the 
     violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty by 
     the Russian Federation, and definitions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes.
     Compliance enforcement regarding Russian violations of the 
         INF Treaty (sec. 1243)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1243) that would 
     make a statement of U.S. policy regarding the Russian 
     Federation's non-compliance with the Intermediate-Range 
     Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, including that the Russian 
     Federation's actions constitute a material breach of the 
     treaty and that, in light of such material breach, the United 
     States is legally entitled to suspend the operation of the 
     INF Treaty in whole or in part. It would also state that, for 
     so long as the Russian Federation remains in violation of the 
     treaty, the United States should take actions to encourage a 
     return to compliance, including providing additional funds 
     for capabilities identified in section 1243(d) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92). The provision would also authorize to be 
     appropriated $50.0 million, Research, Development, Test, and 
     Evaluation (RDT&E), Defense-wide, for research and 
     development of military response options for the Russian 
     Federation's INF Treaty violation, including those 
     capabilities identified in section 1243(d) of Public Law 114-
     92. Of that, the provision would authorize $25.0 million for 
     the research and development activities described in the 
     following section.
       The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1244) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a program 
     of record to develop a conventional road-mobile ground-
     launched cruise missile system with a range of between 500 
     and 5,500 kilometers. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to the relevant committees a 
     report on the cost, schedule, and feasibility of modifying 
     existing and planned missile systems for ground launch and 
     intermediate range.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1635) that would establish a research and development program 
     for a dual-capable road-mobile ground-launched missile system 
     with a maximum range of 5,500 kilometers, in order to close 
     the capability gap opened by the Russian Federation's 
     violation of the INF Treaty. The Senate amendment would also 
     authorize to be appropriated $65.0 million, RDT&E, Defense-
     wide, for such program. Finally, the provision would limit 
     the obligation or expenditure of these funds until the 
     Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the cost, schedule, and feasibility of 
     modifying existing and planned missile systems for ground 
     launch and intermediate range.
       The Senate recedes with several amendments that would 
     strike the statement of policy and would express the sense of 
     Congress that the Russian Federation's violation of the INF 
     Treaty constitutes material breach. The amendments would also 
     authorize to be appropriated $58.0 million for RDT&E, 
     Defense-wide, for capabilities identified in section 1243(d) 
     of Public Law 114-92 as well as a program of record to 
     develop a conventional road-mobile ground-launched cruise 
     missile system with a range of between 500 and 5,500 
     kilometers. Finally, the agreement would require the same 
     report by the Secretary of Defense but would remove the 
     limitation on funds contained in the Senate amendment.
       The conferees note that the INF Treaty prohibits testing 
     and deployment of ground-launched intermediate-range missile 
     systems, but it does not prohibit research and development. 
     The conferees do not intend for the United States to enter 
     into a violation of the INF Treaty so long as the treaty 
     remains in force, and nothing in this provision should be 
     construed to force the United States into a violation of the 
     treaty.
     Notification requirement related to Russian Federation 
         development of noncompliant systems and United States 
         actions regarding material breach of INF Treaty by the 
         Russian Federation (sec. 1244)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1245) that would 
     make a declaration of policy regarding the Russian 
     Federation's violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear 
     Forces (INF) Treaty and require the Director of National 
     Intelligence to notify the appropriate congressional 
     committees of any development, deployment, or test of a 
     system by the Russian Federation that is inconsistent with 
     the INF Treaty. The provision would also require the 
     President to submit to the appropriate congressional 
     committees 15 months after the date of enactment of this Act 
     a report that contains a determination of whether the Russian 
     Federation has engaged in any such activity during the year 
     following the date of enactment. If the President so 
     determines, the provision would provide that the prohibitions 
     set forth in the INF Treaty would no longer be binding on the 
     United States as a matter of U.S. law.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     declaration of policy and the Presidential reporting 
     requirement. The amendment would also withhold $50.0 million 
     in funds made available to the Department of Defense for 
     operation and maintenance, Defense-wide, for fiscal year 2018 
     to carry out special mission area activities of the 
     Defense Information Systems Agency and until the President 
     submits to the appropriate congressional committees two 
     reports: first, a certification that each requirement of 
     section 1290 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) has been and 
     continues to be fully implemented and the President has 
     notified the appropriate congressional committees of the 
     measures imposed pursuant to section 1290; and second, a 
     report containing a proposal for additional measures to be 
     implemented with respect to individuals in the Russian 
     Federation that the President determines to play a 
     significant role in facilitating or ordering the violation 
     of the INF Treaty, and those who are senior political

[[Page H9006]]

     figures of the Russian Federation. The conferees note that 
     this provision would not direct the implementation of 
     these additional sanctions.
       The conferees note that section 1290 required the Secretary 
     of the Treasury to submit to Congress a report identifying 
     individuals who are citizens of countries that are not in 
     full compliance with obligations of arms control, 
     nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements to which the 
     United States is a party and who have contributed to such 
     non-compliance. That section further required the President 
     to impose certain measures on each person identified in this 
     report. The conferees note that the Secretary of the Treasury 
     has not submitted this report and the President has not 
     imposed these measures on individuals that have contributed 
     to violations of arms control, nonproliferation, and 
     disarmament agreements pursuant to section 1290.
       The conferees also note that section 1231 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328) withheld $10.0 million of funding for the Department 
     of Defense to provide support services to the Executive 
     Office of the President until the Secretary of Defense 
     submitted a plan for the development of military capabilities 
     in response to the Russian Federation's violation of the INF 
     Treaty, as required by section 1243(d) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92). The conferees reiterate that the plan contained in 
     the report previously submitted to Congress, pursuant to 
     section 1243(d), was insufficient, and the conferees do not 
     believe that the requirements in either Public Law have been 
     satisfied.
       The conferees further note that the Department of Defense 
     was unable to provide timely information on the status of 
     such funds, leading the conferees to believe that such funds 
     were not withheld. The Department was also unable to provide 
     a full accounting of funding to provide support services to 
     the Executive Office of the President.
       Therefore, the conferees direct that, as part of the 
     submission of the President's budget request for fiscal year 
     2019, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) provide 
     relevant details pertaining to Department of Defense support 
     to the Executive Office of the President and the White House 
     Military Office specifically, by budget category, including 
     appropriation and line number. These two budget exhibits 
     should be submitted in unclassified form as appropriate and 
     with a classified enclosure as necessary.
     Review of RS-26 ballistic missile (sec. 1245)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1247) that would 
     require the President, in consultation with the relevant 
     members of the National Security Council, to conduct a review 
     of the Russian Federation's RS-26 ballistic missile and 
     submit a report to Congress not later than 90 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act. Such report would include a 
     determination of whether the RS-26 ballistic missile is 
     covered under the New START Treaty or the Intermediate-Range 
     Nuclear Forces Treaty and would contain the implications of 
     such determination for assessment of the Russian Federation's 
     compliance with either treaty.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

      Subtitle F--Matters Relating to the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region

     Sense of Congress and Initiative on the Indo-Asia-Pacific 
         region (sec. 1251)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1261) that would 
     express a sense of Congress that the United States has a 
     national interest in maintaining the stability and security 
     of the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. It expresses that the United 
     States should maintain a military capability to deter acts of 
     aggression and respond to regional threats. It expresses that 
     continuing efforts to realign forces, commit additional 
     assets, and increase investments in the region are necessary 
     to maintain a robust U.S. commitment to the region.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1261) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to 
     establish the Indo-Asia-Pacific Stability Initiative and 
     provide the necessary guidelines and authorities for the 
     Department of Defense to execute and implement it. The 
     recommended provision would outline the stated objective of 
     the initiative, the authorized activities, and funding 
     authorities to be used. The recommended provision would also 
     ensure that the Department of Defense retains a maximum 
     amount of flexibility in carrying out the initiative.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions and require the Department to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a plan outlining the 
     projects and activities needed for the Indo-Asia-Pacific 
     Stability Initiative.
       The conferees emphasize that the United States must 
     maintain a robust, long-term security presence in the Indo-
     Asia-Pacific to help preserve peace and stability in the 
     region amid current and emerging threats. The conferees 
     expect the Department to request additional base budget 
     funding for the Indo-Asia-Pacific Stability Initiative in 
     future years as part of its annual budget request. Laying the 
     groundwork for this initiative will enable the United States 
     and its allies and partners in the region to plan for long-
     term security and stability in the region.
     Report on strategy to prioritize United States defense 
         interests in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region (sec. 1252)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to develop a strategy that 
     would prioritize the Department of Defense's efforts in the 
     Indo-Asia-Pacific region and to submit a report on this plan 
     to the appropriate congressional committees by February 1, 
     2018. This provision would also repeal section 1251 of the 
     Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that the report be informed by the overall presidential 
     strategy required by section 1261(a) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 
     129 Stat. 1072).
       The amendment would also extend the deadline for the 
     presidential strategy to March 1, 2018 and require that the 
     Department of Defense report be submitted not later than 90 
     days after the date on which the President issues his 
     strategy for the Indo-Asia-Pacific region, which should also 
     be simultaneously submitted to the appropriate congressional 
     defense committees.
     Assessment of United States force posture and basing needs in 
         the Indo-Asia-Pacific region (sec. 1253)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1263) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to assess U.S. Pacific 
     posture, deployment plans, and realignment and basing needs 
     to accomplish U.S. defense priorities and respond to complex 
     crises and contingencies. This section would also require the 
     Secretary to report the results of this assessment to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 
     2018.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     report submission date to April 1, 2018.
     Plan to enhance the extended deterrence and assurance 
         capabilities of the United States in the Asia-Pacific 
         region (sec. 1254)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1264) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the United States is 
     committed to providing extended deterrence to allies in the 
     Asia-Pacific, including Japan and the Republic of Korea. This 
     provision would also state that the United States must 
     maintain robust nuclear capabilities, including nuclear-
     capable aircraft, to assure that the full spectrum of 
     military options associated with the extended deterrence 
     commitments of the United States remains credible and 
     executable.
       The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions (sec. 
     1269 and 6204) that would express the sense of Congress that 
     the nuclear and missile program of North Korea is one of the 
     most dangerous national security threats facing the United 
     States today and that the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) to be 
     completed this year should fully consider the perspectives of 
     key allies and partners in East Asia, including the Republic 
     of Korea and Japan, as well as actions to reassure those 
     countries.
       The House bill contained another provision (sec. 1270D) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a plan to enhance the 
     extended deterrence capabilities of the United States in the 
     Asia-Pacific region. This plan would include consideration of 
     a number of actions that would enhance United States security 
     by strengthening deterrence of North Korean aggression.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6206).
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would combine all 
     five provisions, strike some of the findings, and remove a 
     reference to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
     Sense of Congress reaffirming security commitments to the 
         Governments of Japan and South Korea and trilateral 
         cooperation between the United States, Japan, and South 
         Korea (sec. 1255)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1266) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the United States values 
     its alliances with the Governments of Japan and the Republic 
     of Korea and that the United States should continue to 
     further defense cooperation. The provision would also seek to 
     promote continued and strengthened bilateral and trilateral 
     cooperation on a full range of issues related to the 
     Democratic People's Republic of Korea and to other security 
     challenges in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
       The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions 
     (secs. 1267 and 1268) that between them would express the 
     sense of Congress that the United States and Japan are 
     indispensable partners and that the bilateral security 
     alliance will continue to ensure a secure and prosperous 
     world; and express the sense of Congress that the United 
     States should continue to support efforts to strengthen the 
     alliance with South Korea, to defend the alliance against 
     provocations committed by North Korea, and support efforts to 
     deepen trilateral coordination and cooperation between the 
     United States, South Korea, and Japan.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine all 
     three provisions into one.

     Strategy on North Korea (sec. 1256)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270B) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that North Korea 
     continues to pose a threat to the security of the United 
     States and to our allies and partners in the region, and that 
     the United States should take appropriate steps to counter 
     this threat.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     11202) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report that sets 
     forth a strategy of the United States with respect to North 
     Korea, not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would elevate the 
     required strategy to the President of the United States and 
     broaden the elements required in the strategy.
       The conferees note 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 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.
     North Korean nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles 
         (sec. 1257)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1694) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to provide to the 
     congressional defense committees a briefing on the hazards or 
     risks posed directly or indirectly by the nuclear ambitions 
     of North Korea, including several specified elements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with several technical and clarifying 
     amendments.
     Advancements in defense cooperation between the United States 
         and India (sec. 1258)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270C) that

     the Secretary of State, to develop a strategy for advancing 
     defense cooperation between the United States and India, not 
     later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6201). The provision also would add additional duties to the 
     senior official responsible for enhanced U.S.-India defense 
     trade, pursuant to section 1292 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (P.L. 114-328; 130 
     Stat. 2559).
       The House recedes with an amendment that combines the 
     strategy reporting requirement with existing reporting 
     requirements from section 1292 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (P.L. 114-328; 130 
     Stat. 2559).
       The conferees note that:
       (1) Subsection(a)(1)(A) of section 1292 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328; 130 Stat. 2559) requires the recognition of India as 
     a major defense partner.
       (2) The designation of `Major Defense Partner' is unique to 
     India, and institutionalizes the progress made to facilitate 
     defense trade and technology cooperation between the United 
     States and India to a level commensurate with the closest 
     allies and partners of the United States.
       (3) The designation promotes joint exercises, defense 
     strategy and policy coordination, military exchanges, and 
     port calls in support of defense cooperation between the 
     United States and India.
       (4) The modified requirements outlined in this provision 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop a forward-looking 
     strategy that would build upon current objectives and goals, 
     underlining a mutual desire to develop an enduring defense 
     relationship with India.
       (5) The United States and India should work closely with 
     Afghanistan to promote stability in the region to include 
     targeted infrastructure development and economic investment, 
     means to address capability gaps in country, and improved 
     humanitarian and disaster relief assistance.
     Strengthening the defense partnership between the United 
         States and Taiwan (sec. 1259)
       The House bill contained two provisions (secs. 1268 and 
     1270E) that would, respectively, express a sense of Congress 
     to strengthen the defense of Taiwan and direct the Department 
     to submit a report on the feasibility and advisability of 
     naval port calls with Taiwan. The sense of Congress would 
     encourage the Department to continue the transfer of defense 
     articles and services, expand training and exercises with 
     Taiwan, support practical military personnel training and 
     exchanges between services, encourage Taiwan's continued 
     investment in asymmetric self-defense capabilities and 
     support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief training.
       The Senate amendment contained five similar provisions 
     (secs. 1270, 1270A, 1270B, 1270C, and 1270D) that would 
     respectively: express a sense of Congress encouraging 
     strengthened bilateral relations between the United States 
     and Taiwan through increased regular defense articles and

     building, and multilateral exercises; reestablish naval port

     between senior officers and officials of the United States 
     and Taiwan, pursuant to section 1284 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine all 
     seven provisions into one. The new provision would make a 
     statement of policy regarding the commitment of the United 
     States to Taiwan and express a Sense of Congress on steps 
     that should be taken to strengthen the defense relationship 
     between the two countries.
     Normalizing the transfer of defense articles and defense 
         services to Taiwan (sec. 1259A)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270G) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 120 
     days after the date on which the Secretary receives a Letter 
     of Request from Taiwan with respect to the transfer of a 
     defense article or defense service to Taiwan, in consultation

     request. The provision would also direct that, not later than 
     180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
     every 180 days thereafter, the Secretary, in coordination 
     with the Secretary of State, shall provide a briefing to the

     signed or unsigned, of any Letters of Offer and Acceptance 
     with respect to such requests.

     would require the President to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report that contains a security 
     strategy for Yemen. The provision would additionally specify 
     that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
     Act are authorized to be made available to deploy members of 
     the Armed Forces to participate in the ongoing civil war in 
     Yemen.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     prohibition on funds and make other clarifying changes.
     Transfer of excess high mobility multipurpose wheeled 
         vehicles to foreign countries (sec. 1276)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1278) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from transferring any 
     excess defense articles (EDA) that are high mobility 
     multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs) until 30 days after 
     the Comptroller General of the United States submits a report 
     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 assesses the 
     Department of Defense's efforts to evaluate the potential 
     impact of HMMWV EDA transfers on the U.S. industrial base for 
     fiscal years 2012 through 2016. The House bill also included 
     authority for the President to waive the prohibition if in 
     the national interest.
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) that 
     would require that HMMWVs designated for transfer as EDA must 
     be modernized and refurbished to like-new conditions by U.S. 
     workers prior to transfer. The Senate amendment included 
     authority for the Secretary of Defense to waive the 
     requirement if in the interest of national security.
        The House recedes with an amendment that provides that the 
     requirement to refurbish and modernize EDA HMMWVs will take 
     effect 90 days after enactment of this Act; sunsets this 
     requirement after three years; retains the requirement for 
     the Comptroller General's assessment, but removes the 
     prohibition on such transfers; and modifies the waiver 
     authority and notification requirements.
        The conferees note that the transfer of excess defense 
     articles can make an important contribution to advancing the 
     national security and foreign policy interests of the United 
     States and its allies and partners. At the same time, the 
     conferees note the concerns that have been raised that the 
     existing requirements to determine the potential impact of 
     EDA transfers on the U.S. industrial base, as required under 
     section (b)(1)(E) of title 22, United States Code, are not 
     being enforced, and as such there could be adverse impacts to 
     the U.S. industrial base or its workforce. Concerns have been 
     raised in particular about the potential adverse impacts of 
     EDA HMMWV transfers to the light tactical vehicle industrial 
     base.
        The conferees expect any modernization and refurbishment 
     work to be done at no cost to the government unless 
     congressionally appropriated funds have been designated and 
     are available for such purposes, such as is the case under 
     the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF). The conferees 
     are also aware that a pending transfer of excess defense 
     article vehicles to Iraq has resulted in significant concerns 
     among entities within the industrial base. The conferees 
     encourage the Secretary of Defense to review this pending 
     transfer and expect the Secretary to consider the concerns 
     raised by these entities within the industrial base before 
     authorizing this transfer. The conferees expect the Secretary 
     of Defense to fully review the condition of these HMMWVs 
     before transfer in order to determine whether further 
     upgrades to these vehicles are necessary. Finally, the 
     conferees intend for the refurbishment requirement under this 
     section to apply only to HMMWVs within the continental United 
     States that have been declared excess and not to those 
     vehicles located outside the continental United States.
        The conferees fully expect the Department to exercise the 
     waiver authority, as necessary, if it is in the national 
     interest to do so. If the waiver authority is used, the 
     conferees encourage the Department to consider if practicable 
     including additional information in the written determination 
     to Congress to supplement the notification elements required 
     in this provision. Such information may include serial and 
     model numbers of individual HMMWVs, as well as information, 
     to the extent practicable, regarding consultation with 
     industrial base partners.
        Finally, the conferees note that HMMWVs will remain in the 
     light tactical wheeled vehicle fleet for the foreseeable 
     future even after the fielding of the Joint Light Tactical 
     Vehicle (JLTV). Therefore, not later than 90 days after 
     enactment of this act, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
     the Army to provide a briefing to the House and Senate Armed 
     Services Committees on the Army's plan to manage the tactical 
     wheeled vehicle fleet and the impact this strategy will have 
     on the industrial base.
     Department of Defense program to protect United States 
         students against foreign agents (sec. 1277)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1279) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
     implement a program to prepare U.S. students studying abroad 
     through Department of Defense National Security Education 
     Programs to recognize and protect themselves against 
     recruitment efforts by foreign intelligence agents. This 
     section would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives on the plan to develop and implement the 
     program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
     technical modifications.
     Limitation and extension of United States-Israel anti-tunnel 
         cooperation authority (sec. 1278)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1280) that 
     would extend through December 31, 2020 the authority under 
     section 1279 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as amended by the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328), for the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of 
     National Intelligence, to carry out research, development, 
     test, and evaluation, on a joint basis with Israel, to 
     establish anti-tunnel capabilities to detect, map, and 
     neutralize underground tunnels that threaten the United 
     States or Israel.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1282) that would provide that of the amount contributed by 
     the United States for activities under section 1279 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92), as amended by the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), 
     not less than 50 percent of such amount shall be used for 
     research, development, test, and evaluation activities for 
     purposes of such section in the United States.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would extend 
     through December 31, 2020 the authority under section 1279 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92), as amended by the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
     Anticorruption strategy (sec. 1279)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1281) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
     State, and the Administrator of the United States Agency for 
     International Development, in consultation with the heads of 
     other relevant Federal agencies, to develop a strategy to 
     prevent corruption in reconstruction efforts and submit it to 
     the congressional defense committees, the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs of the House of Representatives.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the 
     Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
     Development to jointly develop a strategy to prevent 
     corruption in any reconstruction efforts associated with 
     United States contingency operations and submit such strategy 
     to the appropriate congressional committees.
     Strategy to improve defense institutions and security sector 
         forces in Nigeria (sec. 1279A)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1285) that 
     would require the President to submit a report to the 
     appropriate congressional committees that contains a 
     comprehensive strategy to support improvements in defense 
     institutions and security sector forces in Nigeria.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Limitation on availability of funds to implement the Arms 
         Trade Treaty (sec. 1279B)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1296) that would 
     prohibit the obligation of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by the Department of Defense to support the 
     implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty, to sustain domestic 
     prosecutions based on any charge related to the Treaty, or to 
     implement the Treaty until the Senate approves a resolution 
     of ratification for the Treaty and implementing legislation 
     for the Treaty has been enacted into law.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment.
       The conferees understand that, while the United States is 
     participating in the annual Conference of States Parties 
     (CSP) for the Arms Trade Treaty, and expending money in

[[Page H9010]]

     so doing, it has not expended any money to implement the Arms 
     Trade Treaty. The conferees expect the Secretary of Defense 
     and the Secretary of State will scrupulously ensure that no 
     taxpayer funding is expended in support of implementation of 
     this treaty until such time as the United States ratifies the 
     treaty and enacts any required implementing legislation.
     Cultural Heritage Protection Coordinator (sec. 1279C)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1297) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 90 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, to designate an 
     employee of the Department of Defense to serve concurrently 
     as the Coordinator for Cultural Heritage Protection. This 
     individual would be responsible for coordinating existing 
     obligations of the Department for the protection of cultural 
     heritage and for convening a coordinating committee of 
     entities within the Department that have responsibility or 
     capacity for protecting cultural heritage.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, not later than 90 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, to designate an employee of the 
     Department of Defense to serve concurrently as the 
     Coordinator for Cultural Heritage Protection. This individual 
     would be responsible for coordinating existing obligations of 
     the Department for the protection of cultural heritage and 
     coordinating, as appropriate, with the Cultural Heritage 
     Coordinating Committee convened by the Secretary of State.
     Security assistance for Baltic nations for joint program for 
         joint interoperability and deterrence against aggression 
         (sec. 1279D)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6210) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide security 
     assistance of up to $100.0 million to conduct or support a 
     joint program of the Baltic nations to improve their 
     resilience against and build their capacity to deter 
     aggression by the Russian Federation.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     authority under this section by limiting it to the conduct or 
     support of a single joint program; defining appropriate 
     defense articles or services; and specifying the available 
     source of funding as Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide. 
     The amendment would also require the Secretary to submit 
     notice of specified information before initiating activities 
     under the joint program. The authority under this section 
     would terminate on December 31, 2020.
     Restriction on funding for the Preparatory Commission for the 
         Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (sec. 
         1279E)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270A) that 
     would state as U.S. policy that United Nations Security 
     Council Resolution 2310 (September 23, 2016) does not 
     obligate the United States to refrain from actions that would 
     run counter to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty 
     (CTBT). It would also prohibit the provision of U.S. funds to 
     the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear 
     Test-Ban Treaty Organization, with an exception for funds 
     provided for the International Monitoring System (IMS).
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     that the exception would also apply to funds used solely for 
     the analysis and dissemination of data collected through IMS.
        The conferees believe that, because the United States has 
     not ratified the CTBT in accordance with Article II, section 
     2, of the U.S. Constitution, and, following the rejection of 
     the Resolution of Ratification in 1999 by the Senate, it is 
     wholly inappropriate for U.S. funds to support activities of 
     the Preparatory Commission that include advocating for 
     ratification of the treaty or otherwise preparing for the 
     treaty's possible entry into force. The conferees urge the 
     Secretary of State to clearly convey the intent of this Act 
     when making any funds available to the Preparatory 
     Commission.

         operations of certain foreign countries (sec. 1279F)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision in Division F 
     (sec. 11206) that would amend section 1226(b) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92), as most recently amended by section 1294 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328), by striking ``such fiscal year'' in 
     both places where it appears.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Sense of Congress on cybersecurity cooperation with Ukraine
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1076) that would 
     express the sense of the Congress that the United States 
     reaffirms support for the sovereignty and territorial 
     integrity of Ukraine, and that the United States should 
     assist Ukraine in improving its cybersecurity capabilities.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     11201).
       Neither provision was adopted.
       The conferees reaffirm the support of the United States for 
     the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine in the 
     face of continued Russian aggression. The conferees also note 
     the concerning history of cyberattacks in Ukraine, including 
     a significant Russian attack on its power grid in December 
     2015. The conferees believe the United States should 
     assist Ukraine in improving its cybersecurity 
     capabilities.
     Extension of Commanders' Emergency Response Program and 
         related authorities
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1211)

     2012 (Public Law 112-81) as amended by the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) authorized the 
     Commanders' Emergency Response Program in Afghanistan through 
     December 31, 2018. The conferees encourage the Department of 
     Defense to engage with the congressional defense committees 
     about the future of the Commanders' Emergency Response 
     Program in Afghanistan.
     Report on United States strategy in Afghanistan
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
     the Secretary of State, to submit a report to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that would describe the United 
     States strategy in Afghanistan.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of receiving timely, 
     detailed information on the U.S. military effort in 
     Afghanistan. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, 
     in coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide a 
     report on the Afghanistan strategy no later than February 15, 
     2018. The report should include a description of U.S. 
     security interests and objectives; the current and planned 
     military efforts to support such objectives; the anticipated 
     timeline necessary to achieve such objectives; a description 
     of the projected long-term U.S. military role in Afghanistan; 
     an analysis of the risk to force, including green on blue 
     attacks, and the efforts to mitigate such risks; an 
     accounting of the costs associated with accomplishing the 
     security objectives over the projected timeline; a 
     description of the interests, objectives, and activities of 
     other regional actors in Afghanistan, including Russia, Iran, 
     Pakistan, China, India, and any other country the Secretary 
     believes to be influencing Afghanistan's stability and 
     security.
     Sense of Congress relating to Dr. Shakil Afridi
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1214) that 
     would state that 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.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note the contributions of Dr. Afridi to 
     efforts to locate Osama bin Laden, remain concerned about Dr. 
     Afridi's continuing incarceration, and urge the Government of 
     Pakistan to release him immediately.
     Sense of Congress regarding the Afghan special immigrant visa 
         program
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1216) 
     that would express the sense of Congress that an additional 
     4,000 visas should be made available for principal aliens who 
     are eligible for special immigrant status under the Afghan 
     Allies Protection Act of 2009 (8 U.S.C. 1101 note) to prevent 
     harm to the operations of the United States Government in 
     Afghanistan.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees believe the special immigrant visa program 
     continues to be critical for the U.S. Government's operations 
     in Afghanistan. The conferees note that special immigrant 
     visas for Afghan allies are addressed elsewhere in this 
     report.
     Report on impact of humanitarian crisis on achievement of 
         United States security objectives in Syria
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221A) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
     the Secretary of State, to submit a report on the impact of 
     the humanitarian crisis in Syria on the achievement of the 
     goals of the United States in the broader region.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that requirements for a report on the 
     impact of the humanitarian situation in Syria on United 
     States objectives have been incorporated elsewhere in this 
     Act as part of a provision requiring the President to submit 
     a report on the strategy of the United States in Syria to 
     appropriate congressional committees.

     Sense of Congress on threats posed by the Government of Iran
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1224) that 
     expressed the sense of Congress that the United States should 
     counter the expansion of the malign activities of the 
     Government of Iran.
       The Senate contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees urge the Secretary of Defense to apply 
     appropriate attention and resources to countering the 
     Government of Iran's malign activities, including by 
     maintaining a robust U.S. military presence forward deployed 
     in the United States Central Command area of responsibility, 
     supporting regional ballistic missile defense capabilities 
     and cooperation, countering Iranian efforts to illicitly 
     proliferate weapons, and ensuring freedom of navigation.

         United States, Iran, and certain other countries
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1225) that would

     Secretary of State, to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report assessing the relative 
     merits of a multilateral or bilateral Incidents at Sea

     2018, on the feasibility and advisability of establishing 
     military-to-military channels of communication with Iran and 
     other countries operating in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of 
     Oman, and neighboring maritime environments for the purposes 
     of preventing accidental conflict. The report shall contain 
     an evaluation of strategic interests in the region and a 
     description of past and current U.S. procedures for 
     addressing unexpected encounters at sea. The required report 
     shall be submitted in unclassified form, but it may contain a 
     classified annex.
     Report on steps and protocols related to the rescue, care, 
         and treatment of captives of the Islamic State

     to be held captive. The report would also contain a 
     description of any protocols that will be put in place by the 
     Department of Defense, including protocols developed in 
     coordination with the Government of Iraq, for the care and 
     treatment of religious or minority groups rescued from 
     captivity under the Islamic State, including any protocol for 
     relocating such groups of captives to safe locations.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense not later 
     than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act to 
     submit to Congress a report that describes any steps the 
     Department of Defense is taking to ensure coordination 
     between the Armed Forces of the United States and local 
     forces operating in areas controlled by the Islamic State 
     related to the rescue, care, and treatment of religious or 
     minority groups known or thought to be held captive by the 
     Islamic State, to include relocating such groups of captives 
     to safe locations. Additionally, the report shall provide a 
     description of any protocols that will be put in place by the 
     Department of Defense, including protocols developed in 
     coordination with the Government of Iraq, for the care and

     would express the sense of Congress on support for Georgia's 
     sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as support for 
     continued cooperation between the United States and Georgia.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1238) that would 
     express the sense of Congress on support for the Republic of 
     Estonia, the Republic of Latvia, and the Republic of 
     Lithuania, including support for their sovereignty.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that U.S. support for allies and 
     partners in Europe is addressed elsewhere in this report.
     Russian aggression and the security environment in Europe
        The Senate amendment contained nine provisions (sec. 1243 
     - sec. 1250 and sec. 6207) relating to Russian aggression and 
     the security environment in Europe.
        The House bill contained no similar provisions.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that the content of these provisions is 
     addressed elsewhere in this report.
     Limitation on availability of funds to extend the 
         implementation of the New START Treaty
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1246) that would 
     prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds 
     authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for 
     the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2018 to extend the 
     implementation of the New START Treaty unless the President 
     certifies that the Russian Federation has verifiably 
     eliminated all missiles that are in violation of or may be 
     inconsistent with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) 
     Treaty.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees are frustrated with the continued Russian 
     violation of the INF Treaty, as described in detail elsewhere 
     in this Act, as well as the failure of diplomatic efforts to 
     bring them back into compliance so far. While the Russian 
     Federation appears to be moving toward compliance with the 
     limits laid out by the New START Treaty, the Russian 
     Federation cannot be allowed to comply only with treaties 
     that suit its interests and violate those that do not. 
     Treaties are not negotiated and ratified independently but in 
     the context of the range of arms control agreements in force. 
     The testimony of General Paul Selva, Vice Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a March 8, 2017, House Armed 
     Services Committee hearing corroborates this: ``I anticipate 
     Russia's violation of its international commitments such as 
     the INF Treaty will be a consideration in any future arms 
     control discussion.'' As the expiration date of the New START 
     Treaty approaches, the conferees urge the President and the 
     members of the National Security Council to carefully 
     consider whether extending the treaty, if Russia is still in 
     violation of the INF Treaty, is in the national interest of 
     the United States.
        Furthermore, the conferees note that since entry-into-
     force of the treaty, the United States has decreased its 
     deployed launchers by over 222 and its deployed warheads by 
     407. During this period, the Russian Federation increased its 
     launcher count to the limit permitted by the treaty. The 
     conferees are concerned that the Russian Federation may

[[Page H9012]]

     maintain the capability to rapidly exceed the levels laid out 
     by New START once the February 2018 implementation date is 
     reached. The conferees also note that the treaty places no 
     limits on non-strategic nuclear weapons, which may be an area 
     of enduring Russian advantage.
        Finally, the conferees remind the President of the 
     commitment made by his predecessor, President Obama: ``I 
     recognize that nuclear modernization requires investment for 
     the long-term. . . . That is my commitment to the Congress--
     that my administration will pursue these programs and 
     capabilities for as long as I am President.'' This commitment 
     was explicitly laid out in the certification that President 
     Obama made to the U.S. Senate on February 2, 2011, as a 
     condition of the treaty's entry-into-force, to modernize U.S. 
     nuclear forces, including ``a heavy bomber and air-launched 
     cruise missile, an ICBM, and a nuclear-powered ballistic 
     missile submarine (SSBN) and SLBM,'' as well as facilities of 
     the National Nuclear Security Administration where uranium 
     and plutonium are processed. The conferees are also aware 
     that, because the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-
     25) capped overall base national security spending, the 
     repeated statements by the Nation's most senior civilian and 
     military leaders regarding the priority attached to the 
     nuclear deterrent mission are critical. For example, 
     Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel stated in his November 2014, 
     Message to the Force: ``Our nuclear deterrent plays a 
     critical role in assuring U.S. national security, and it is 
     DoD's highest priority mission. No other capability we have 
     is more important.'' Further, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter 
     stated at the Air Force Association conference in September 
     2015: ``The nuclear deterrent is a must-have, you really need 
     to start there. . . . [I]t is the foundation. It's the 
     bedrock and it needs to remain healthy and we all know that 
     we need to make additional investments.''
        The conferees urge the President to continue to fund and 
     execute nuclear weapons modernization programs in a timely 
     and cost-effective manner.

     Sense of Congress on the importance of the North Atlantic 
         Treaty Organization Intelligence Fusion Center
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1251) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the collocation of 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Intelligence 
     Fusion Center with U.S. European Command's Joint Intelligence 
     Analysis Complex provides the optimal solution to 
     intelligence and operational requirements, fosters critical 
     diplomatic relationships, and is the most efficient 
     configuration of the intelligence enterprise.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Findings and sense of Congress
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1252) that would

     current security environment in Europe, Russia's aggressive 
     and destabilizing behavior, the European Deterrence 
     Initiative, and U.S. support for allies and partners in 
     Europe.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that issues concerning the current 
     security environment in Europe, Russia's aggressive and 
     destabilizing behavior, the European Deterrence Initiative, 
     and U.S. support for allies and partners in Europe are 
     addressed elsewhere in this report.
     Strategy to increase conventional precision strike weapon 
         stockpiles in the United States European Command's areas 
         of responsibility
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1254) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
     the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a strategy 
     to increase conventional precision strike weapon stockpiles 
     in the United States European Command's area of 
     responsibility.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that conventional precision strike 
     weapon stockpiles in the United States European Command's 
     area of responsibility are addressed elsewhere in this 
     report.
     Plan to counter the military capabilities of the Russian 
         Federation
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1255) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
     implement a strategy to counter the military capabilities of 
     the Russian Federation.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that the military capabilities of the 
     Russian Federation are addressed elsewhere in this report.
     Sense of Congress on enhancing maritime capabilities
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1257) that would 
     express the sense of Congress on enhancing maritime 
     capabilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
     April 1, 2018 on the options to extend the service lives of 
     Los Angeles-class submarines to mitigate the shortfall of 
     fast attack submarines, which reaches a nadir of 41 boats in 
     fiscal year 2029, despite a 2016 Navy Force Structure 
     Assessment requirement for 66 boats. For the 2020 to 2040 
     timeframe, this report shall include the following: (1) 
     threat environments in which Los Angeles-class submarines are 
     projected to remain operationally relevant; (2) specific Los 
     Angeles-class submarines that could receive service life 
     extensions; (3) notional cost and schedule estimates for Los 
     Angeles-class submarine service life extensions; (4) public 
     or private shipyard availability to accomplish such service 
     life extensions; and (5) an assessment by the Secretary on 
     the merits of implementing such options.
     Plan to reduce the risks of miscalculation and unintended 
         consequences that could precipitate a nuclear war
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1258) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan to the 
     congressional defense committees that includes options to 
     reduce the risk of miscalculation and unintended consequences 
     associated with Russian nuclear doctrine.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned that the Russian Federation 
     has adopted a dangerous nuclear strategy that includes the 
     plan to escalate to de-escalate, which could lower the 
     threshold for Russian use of nuclear weapons in a regional 
     conflict. Such a strategy could exacerbate the risks of 
     miscalculation and unintended consequences that could 
     precipitate a full-scale nuclear war. Therefore, the 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
     with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Commander 
     of the United States Strategic Command, and the Commander of 
     the United States European Command, to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 
     2018, a plan that includes options, including but not limited 
     to military-to-military dialogue, to reduce the risk of 
     miscalculation and unintended consequences that could 
     inadvertently lead to a nuclear war. More generally, the 
     conferees believe that military-to-military communication 
     with adversaries can be a valuable tool to prevent 
     inadvertent escalation and miscalculation during a crisis. 
     The conferees encourage the Secretary to use such dialogue, 
     among other tools, to reduce the risks of nuclear conflict 
     with the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, 
     and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The conferees 
     note the section in title 12 of this Act that extends the 
     prohibition on military-to-military cooperation with the 
     Russian Federation but do not construe military-to-military 
     discussions on reducing the risks of miscalculations that 
     could lead to a nuclear war as such prohibited cooperation.
     Definitions
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1259) that 
     would provide definitions for subtitle F of the House bill.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
     Expansion of military-to-military engagement with the 
         Government of Burma
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1262) that 
     would amend section 1253 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to remove certain restrictions 
     on military-to-military engagement with Burma.
        The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 
     6217) that would remove force and effect from section 1262.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees condemn the horrific acts of violence being 
     committed against the Rohingya ethnic minority in Burma, and 
     urge the Burmese military to take action immediately to stop 
     this humanitarian crisis.
     Sense of Congress on the importance of the rule of law in the 
         South China Sea
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1266) 
     that would express the sense of Congress on the importance of 
     maintaining the rule of law in the South China Sea.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that:
       (1) the South China Sea is a vitally important waterway for 
     global commerce and for regional security, with almost 30 
     percent of the maritime trade of the world transiting the 
     South China Sea annually;
       (2) the People's Republic of China is undermining regional 
     security and prosperity and challenging international rules 
     and norms by engaging in coercive activities and attempting 
     to limit lawful activities in the South China Sea;
       (3) a tribunal determined `that China had violated the 
     Philippines' sovereign rights in its exclusive economic zone 
     by (a) interfering with Philippine fishing and petroleum 
     exploration, (b) constructing artificial islands and (c) 
     failing to prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing in the 
     zone,' and that `Chinese law enforcement vessels had 
     unlawfully created a serious risk of collision when

[[Page H9013]]

     they physically obstructed Philippine vessels';
       (4) the arbitral tribunal award of July 2016 stated that 
     there is `no legal basis for China to claim historic rights 
     to resources within the sea areas falling within the nine-
     dash line'; and
       (5) the United States should play a vital role in ensuring 
     freedom of navigation and overflight for all countries by 
     undertaking freedom of navigation operations on a regular and 
     consistent basis, as well as maintaining persistent presence 
     operations in the South China Sea.
     Sense of Congress on freedom of navigation operations in the 
         South China Sea
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1267) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the United States should 
     regularly and routinely conduct freedom of navigation 
     operations in the South China Sea.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1265) that would declare that it is the policy of the United 
     States to fly, sail, and operate throughout the oceans, seas, 
     and airspace of the world wherever international law allows. 
     The recommended provision would also direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to implement the stated policy by planning and 
     executing routine and regular naval presence missions and 
     freedom of navigation operations throughout the world and 
     throughout the year.
       The House recedes.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the United States has a national 
     interest in maintaining freedom of navigation, respect for 
     international law, and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South 
     China Sea; and that ensuring the free access to sea lanes to 
     promote global commerce remains a core security interest of 
     the United States. The conferees also note that the 
     consistent exercise of freedom of navigation operations and 
     overflights by United States naval and air forces throughout 
     the world plays a critical role in safeguarding the freedom 
     of the seas, supporting international law, and ensuring the 
     continued safe passage and promotion of global commerce and 
     trade.
     Sense of Congress on the Association of Southeast Asian 
         Nations
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1269) that 
     would provide the sense of Congress in support of the 
     Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on the 50th 
     anniversary of its formation. It would recognize ASEAN 
     efforts to promote peace, stability and prosperity in the 
     region, including the steps taken to highlight the importance 
     of peaceful dispute resolution and the need for adherence to 
     international rules and standards. Finally, the section would 
     state that ASEAN and the ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting Plus

     assign executive agent responsibilities to an appropriate 
     organization within the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees strongly support the efforts of the NATO 
     Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence (CCDCOE) and 
     encourage the Department of Defense to collaborate fully with 
     the Center. The conferees note that the CCDCOE can play a 
     unique role by increasing and improving cyber cooperation, 
     joint exercises, and policy development within NATO. The 
     conferees urge the Department of Defense to work with the 
     interagency and the CCDCOE to improve NATO's ability to 
     counter and mitigate the threat of malign influence by the 
     Russian Federation in cyberspace. Therefore, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the defense

       The conferees strongly support the efforts of the NATO

     Department of Defense is unable to shape the long-term agenda 
     for research, exercises, and policy development, and is 
     unable to embed personnel to gain experience or insight that 
     can only be acquired by working side-by-side. The conferees 
     note that the SCCOE can play a unique role by increasing 
     cooperation for strategic communications within NATO, and 
     provide research that directly addresses the many problems 
     facing U.S. forces operating in the information environment. 
     The conferees urge the Department of Defense to work with the 
     SSCOE and the interagency to improve NATO's ability to 
     counter and mitigate disinformation, active measures, 
     propaganda, and denial and deception activities of the 
     Russian Federation. Therefore, the conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to brief the defense committees within 
     90-days of enactment of this Act on ways to improve strategic 
     communications within NATO, including enhancing the capacity 
     of and coordination with the NATO Strategic Communications 
     Center of Excellence.

     the Department of Defense may be able to provide in support 
     of the National Response Plan's Emergency Support Function. 
     The Department of Defense would also be required to 
     establish, maintain, and keep current the database at least 
     once every 2 years.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees are aware the Department has worked with its 
     Federal and State partners to identify and document defense 
     capabilities that may be needed in domestic emergencies. 
     However, the conferees believe it is imperative for the 
     Department to have comprehensive visibility on the cyber 
     talent and cyber capabilities available in both the Active 
     and Reserve Components in order to further develop and 
     resource such capability needs for domestic response and 
     other mission areas.
       The conferees note the Department of the Army's talent 
     management programs, including the Cyber Warrior Database 
     (CWARD). CWARD is intended to capture relevant expertise, 
     knowledge, skills, and abilities within the Army Cyber 
     community in order to enable effective mission planning and 
     human resource management. The conferees support this effort 
     and encourage widespread adoption of common cyber talent and 
     capability management tools among the service components.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the 
     congressional defense committees, not later than 60 days 
     after enactment of this act, on the process used to track 
     Department of Defense capabilities applicable to domestic 
     emergency response.

[[Page H9017]]

     The briefing shall include information determining if and how 
     those current processes can be expanded to include tracking 
     cyber capabilities for the Active and Reserve Component, and 
     if those processes can be dynamically updated and used to 
     inform the development of operational plans and concepts of 
     operations.

     Title XVI--Strategic Programs, Cyber, and Intelligence Matters

                      Subtitle A--Space Activities

     Space acquisition and management and oversight (sec. 1601)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1601) that would 
     authorize the creation of a Space Corps within the Department 
     of the Air Force and require the Secretary of the Air Force 
     to certify its establishment by January 1, 2019. The Senate 
     amendment contained a provision (sec. 1601) that would 
     require the Commander of Air Force Space Command serve a term 
     of at least 6 years.
       The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 
     6605) that would prohibit the establishment of any military 
     department or corps separate from the current military 
     departments, including a Space Corps.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would establish 
     the term of office of the Commander of Air Force Space 
     Command at 6 years. The amendment would provide the Commander 
     with the authority to (1) organize, train, and equip 
     personnel and operations of the space forces of the Air 
     Force; (2) serve as the acquisition executive for defense 
     space acquisitions; and (3) procure commercial satellite 
     communications for the Department of Defense beginning 1 year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act. The conferees note 
     that the Commander of Air Force Space Command would be 
     expected to work with the Secretary of the Air Force 
     regarding the use of existing basic personnel functions, 
     including health care and recruitment of personnel.
       The amendment would terminate the position and the office 
     of the Principal Department of Defense Space Advisor and 
     would transfer the duties, responsibilities, and personnel of 
     such office to a single official selected by the Deputy 
     Secretary of Defense. The amendment would terminate the 
     Defense Space Council and disestablish the Air Force Space 
     Operations Directorate (A-11). The amendment would also re-
     designate the Operationally Responsive Space Office as the 
     Space Rapid Capabilities Office.
       The conferees appreciate the Deputy Secretary's engagement 
     on the space mission and organization within the Department 
     and expect such engagement to continue particularly during 
     this transition. The conferees will hold the Deputy Secretary 
     accountable for ensuring that the reorganization of space 
     within the Department, funding for space capabilities, and 
     focus on the space mission continue as one of his priorities. 
     The conferees note in particular that the Deputy Secretary 
     will make the decision on which organization or agency within 
     the Department will be responsible for Major Force Program 12 
     and expect the Deputy Secretary to continue close 
     consultations with the Armed Services Committees of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives to keep them apprised 
     of progress on these issues and to seek their input.
       The conferees note with disappointment the consistent 
     failure to ensure synchronization across space systems, 
     ground stations, and terminals. To address this problem, the 
     conferees recommend two improvements to the requirements and 
     acquisition processes for national security space programs. 
     First, the conferees note the importance of the Joint 
     Requirements Oversight Council in reviewing, assessing, 
     adjudicating, and advocating for joint space requirements 
     across the national security space enterprise. The conferees 
     believe that establishing a Functional Capability Board for 
     space will help to improve the advocacy for joint space 
     requirements, specifically with regard to synchronization of 
     space systems, ground stations, and terminals. Second, the 
     conferees recommend that United States Strategic Command be 
     given the responsibility and authority to approve any budget 
     request for service terminals prior to Milestone A approval. 
     The conferees expect the Deputy Secretary of Defense to issue 
     a directive implementing this change not later than March 1, 
     2018.
       The conferees note that space has been designated as a 
     warfighting domain. Recognizing the joint nature of this new 
     domain, the conferees believe that United States Strategic 
     Command should develop a concept of operations (CONOPs) on 
     how to conduct warfighting in space. That CONOPs should be 
     used to guide the Services' space capabilities development 
     and acquisition programs. The conferees expect such CONOPs to 
     be provided to them not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.
     Codification, extension, and modification of limitation on 
         construction on United States territory of satellite 
         positioning ground monitoring stations of foreign 
         governments (sec. 1602)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1611) that would 
     amend chapter 135 of title 10, United States Code, by adding 
     a new section, 2279c. Subsection (b) of section 1602 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 
     (Public Law 113-66), which is a limitation on construction on 
     United States territory of satellite positioning ground 
     monitoring stations of certain foreign governments, would be 
     transferred to section 2279c of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Foreign commercial satellite services: cybersecurity threats 
         and launches (sec. 1603)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1612) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from entering into a 
     contract for satellite services with any entity if such 
     services will be provided using satellites launched from a 
     covered foreign country or using a launch vehicle that is 
     designed or manufactured in a covered foreign country or that 
     is provided by the government of a covered foreign country or 
     by an entity controlled in whole or in part by, or acting on 
     behalf of, the government of a covered foreign country, 
     regardless of the location of the launch.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add an 
     exception for satellites launched prior to December 31, 2022.
     Extension of pilot program on commercial weather data (sec. 
         1604)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1613) that would 
     amend section 1613 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) by extending the 
     pilot program on commercial weather data by 1 year. This 
     provision would also add the congressional intelligence 
     committees to the existing reporting requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle modernization and 
         sustainment of assured access to space (sec. 1605)

     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from obligating or 
     expending funds authorized by this Act or otherwise made 
     available for fiscal year 2018 for research, development, 
     test, and evaluation, Air Force, for the Evolved Expendable 
     Launch Vehicle (EELV) program for any use other than the 
     activities specified by this Act. This provision would not 
     affect or prohibit the Secretary from procuring launch 
     services of EELV launch systems.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     obligation or expenditure of funds for carrying out the EELV 
     program to: (a) the development of a domestic rocket 
     propulsion system to replace non-allied space launch engines; 
     (b) the development of the necessary interfaces to, or the 
     integration of, such domestic rocket propulsion system with 
     an existing or planned launch vehicle; or (c) the development 
     of capabilities necessary to enable existing or planned 
     commercially available space launch vehicles or 
     infrastructure that are primarily for national security space 
     missions to meet assured access to space requirements. The 
     amendment would terminate the authority to develop a domestic 
     rocket propulsion system and to develop the necessary 
     interfaces of a domestic rocket propulsion system once the 
     Secretary of the Air Force certifies to the congressional 
     defense committees that a successful full-scale test of a 
     domestic rocket engine has occurred.
     Demonstration of backup and complementary positioning, 
         navigation, and timing capabilities of Global Positioning 
         System (sec. 1606)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1617) that would 
     require, during fiscal year 2018, the Secretary of Defense, 
     the Secretary of Transportation, and the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security to jointly develop a plan for carrying out 
     a backup capability demonstration for the Global Positioning 
     System.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     costs to carry out the proposed plan be consistent with the 
     responsibilities established in National Security 
     Presidential Directive 39 titled ``U.S. Space-Based 
     Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Policy.''
     Enhancement of positioning, navigation, and timing capacity 
         (sec. 1607)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1618) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement a 
     plan to increase resilience for the positioning, navigation, 
     and timing capacity for the Department of Defense. This 
     provision would require the plan to ensure that military 
     Global Positioning System user equipment terminals have the 
     capability to receive signals from the Galileo satellites of 
     the European Union and the QZSS satellites of Japan, 
     beginning with increment 2 of the acquisition of such 
     terminals.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that the plan include an assessment of the benefits and risks 
     of military Global Positioning System user equipment 
     terminals' having the capability to receive allied positing, 
     navigation, and timing signals, beginning with increment 2 of 
     the acquisition of such terminals, and would require an 
     evaluation of whether such a plan should be implemented.

                 Subtitle C--Cyberspace-Related Matters

                     Part I--General Cyber Matters

     Notification requirements for sensitive military cyber 
         operations and cyber weapons (sec. 1631)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1651) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to promptly submit in 
     writing to the congressional defense committees notice of any 
     sensitive military cyber operation and notice of the results 
     of the review of any cyber capability that is intended for 
     use as a weapon. This provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish procedures for providing 
     such notice in a manner consistent with the national security 
     of the United States and the protection of operational 
     integrity.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     require the legal reviews of cyber capabilities intended for 
     a weapon to be submitted on a quarterly basis in aggregate 
     form.
       The conferees are aware that cyber capabilities are being 
     developed across the Department of Defense. The conferees 
     recognize that providing Congress with each individual legal 
     review of a cyber capability intended for use as a weapon 
     could become a burdensome requirement. The conferees believe 
     that receiving the legal reviews in aggregate form, on a 
     quarterly basis, with a summary of relevant and significant 
     legal determinations would be more conducive to conducting 
     congressional oversight and helpful in understanding how 
     rapidly evolving international law applies to the pace of 
     cyber operations.
       The conferees continue to expect the Department to promptly 
     notify Congress when a significant cyber capability has been 
     approved for use as a weapon and made available to the force. 
     The conferees also expect the Cyber Quarterly Operations 
     briefing, required by section 484 of title 10, to include, 
     but not be limited to, an overview of cyber capabilities 
     intended for use as a weapon that have recently been made 
     available to the force and an overview of significant 
     offensive, defensive, and dual-use cyber capabilities 
     recently made available to the force.
     Modification to quarterly cyber operations briefings (sec. 
         1632)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1652) that would 
     amend section 484 of title 10, United States Code, related to 
     quarterly cyber operations briefings, by including all of the 
     congressional defense committees in the requirement as well 
     as increasing the fidelity of the items to be included in 
     each quarterly briefing.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Policy of the United States on cyberspace, cybersecurity, and 
         cyber warfare (sec. 1633)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1621) that 
     would establish the policy of the United States with respect 
     to matters pertaining to cyberspace, cybersecurity, and cyber 
     warfare.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     President to develop a national policy for the United States 
     relating to cyberspace, cybersecurity, and cyber warfare. The 
     amendment would allow not more than 60 percent of the funds 
     made available for fiscal year 2018 for procurement, 
     research, development, test and evaluation, and operations 
     and maintenance for the White House Communications Agency and 
     the White House Situation Support Staff to be obligated or 
     expended until the President submits the policy to the 
     appropriate congressional committees.
       The conferees note that over the past five years the 
     Congress has directed the executive branch to develop a 
     national policy and strategy for deterring our adversaries in 
     cyberspace. The National Defense Authorization Acts for 
     Fiscal Years 2014, 2016, and 2017 (Public Laws 113-66, 114-
     92, and 114-328), for example, each included requirements for 
     policy and strategy development that were not adequately 
     addressed by the executive branch.
       The conferees agree that an appropriate cyber policy should 
     at a minimum assert that the United States should employ all 
     instruments of national power, including the use of offensive 
     cyber capabilities, to deter if possible and respond when 
     necessary to any and all cyber attacks or other malicious 
     cyber activities that target United States interests with the 
     intent to--
       (1) cause casualties among United States persons or persons 
     of our allies;
       (2) significantly disrupt the normal functioning of United 
     States democratic society or government (including attacks 
     against critical infrastructure that could damage systems 
     used to provide key services to the public or government);
       (3) threaten the command and control of the United States 
     Armed Forces, the freedom of maneuver of the United States 
     Armed Forces, or the industrial base or other infrastructure 
     on which the United States Armed Forces rely to defend United 
     States interests and commitments; or
       (4) achieve an effect, whether individually or in 
     aggregate, comparable to an armed attack or to an operation 
     that imperils a vital interest of the United States.
       The conferees believe strongly that the United States 
     government must be prepared and directed to respond 
     forcefully to cyber attacks and cyber-enabled information 
     warfare attacks on the Nation.
     Prohibition on use of products and services developed or 
         provided by Kaspersky Lab (sec. 1634)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11603) 
     that would prohibit any department, agency, organization, or 
     other element of the United States Government from using any 
     product developed by Kaspersky Lab or any entity of which 
     Kaspersky Lab has majority ownership.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add a review 
     and report on the procedures for removing suspect products or 
     services from the information technology networks of the 
     Federal Government.
     Modification of authorities relating to establishment of 
         unified combatant command for cyber operations (sec. 
         1635)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1623) that 
     would modify the requirements and authorities germane to the 
     establishment of a unified combatant command for cyber 
     operations, mandated by section 167b(a) of title 10, United 
     States Code. The recommended provision would: (1) Direct that 
     the elevation of United States Cyber Command to a unified 
     combatant command occur before the Cyber Mission Force 
     reaches full operational capability; (2) Clarify the 
     functions of Cyber Command to make them align with Department 
     of Defense policy; and

[[Page H9020]]

     (3) Refine the command and control responsibilities of the 
     Commander of Cyber Command.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that repeals subsection 
     (d) of section 167b of title 10, United States Code.
     Modification of definition of acquisition workforce to 
         include personnel contributing to cybersecurity systems 
         (sec. 1636)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1657) that would 
     authorize a pilot program for the Secretary of Defense to 
     assess the effectiveness of carrying out a full-scale talent 
     management program to ensure that the cyber workforce of the 
     Department of Defense has the capacity, in both personnel and 
     skills, needed to effectively perform its cyber missions and 
     the kinetic missions impacted by cyber activities.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 842) that 
     would amend section 1705(h)(2)(A) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to include personnel who are engaged in the acquisition 
     of systems related to cybersecurity in the list of personnel 
     who may be trained under the Department of Defense 
     Acquisition Workforce Development Fund.
       The House recedes.
     Integration of strategic information operations and cyber-
         enabled information operations (sec. 1637)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1042) that

     functional task force to integrate across organizations of 
     the Department of Defense (DOD) responsible for information 
     operations, military deception, public affairs, electronic 
     warfare, and cyber operations to produce integrated strategy, 
     planning, and budgeting to counter, deter, and conduct 
     strategic information operations and cyber-enabled 
     information operations. The provision would also direct that 
     the Secretary require the commander of each combatant command 
     to develop specific plans to conduct information operations 
     through cyberspace that could threaten those things, 
     entities, resources, assets, and systems that the leaders of 
     adversary countries value most highly, with the goal of 
     establishing an effective deterrent to information operations 
     and cyber-attacks against the United States, its allies, and 
     its interests. Additionally, the provision would require the 
     task force to review the DOD Strategy for Operations in the 
     Information Environment, dated June 2016, and submit to the 
     congressional defense committees an implementation plan. 
     Lastly, the provision would establish a Defense Intelligence 
     Officer for Information Operations and Cyber Operations 
     within the Department of Defense.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish processes and procedures to 
     integrate strategic information operations and cyber-enabled 
     information operations across the elements of the DOD 
     responsible for such operations, including the elements of 
     the Department responsible for military deception, public 
     affairs, electronic warfare, and cyber operations in order to 
     ensure that such processes and procedures provide for 
     Department-wide strategy, planning, and budgeting for such 
     operations. The amendment would also require the Secretary 
     to designate a senior DOD official to implement and 
     oversee such processes and procedures and other specified 
     responsibilities. Additionally, the amendment would 
     require the commander of each combatant command to 
     develop, with appropriate coordination and assistance, a 
     regional information strategy and interagency coordination 
     plan for implementation. Lastly, the amendment would 
     require a review of the DOD Strategy for Operations in the 
     Information Environment, dated June 2016, and submit a 
     report on the implementation of such strategy to the 
     congressional defense committees.

     capability to carry out this plan in the Department including 
     at combat support agencies such as the National Security 
     Agency (NSA) and the Defense Information Systems Agency. The 
     plan called for in this provision is expected to organize and 
     focus efforts, and improve our understanding of where gaps 
     may exist in terms of people, resources, focus and 
     authorities. Due to the urgency of the mission, the conferees 
     encourage the Department to provide funding to jumpstart 
     execution of the plan. Furthermore, the conferees expect the 
     Department to identify any additional resources needed for 
     full execution of the effort and include such information in 
     future budget requests. The conferees also expect the NSA to 
     be a significant participant and to budget resources and

       The Senate recedes.
     Oversight of delayed acquisition programs by Council on 
         Oversight of the National Leadership Command, Control, 
         and Communications System (sec. 1654)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1662) that would 
     require each program manager of a covered acquisition program 
     to transmit a quarterly report to the co-chairs of the 
     Council on Oversight of the National Leadership Command, 
     Control, and Communications System (NLCC) that identifies the 
     requirements, development timeline, and status of the 
     program, including whether the program is delayed. The 
     provision would further require that, in the event an 
     acquisition program is delayed by more than 180 days or in 
     the event a program manager did not properly notify the 
     Council, the co-chairs notify the congressional defense 
     committees not later than 7 days after the end of the 
     quarter.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1634) that 
     would require the Chief Information Officer of the Department 
     of Defense, or any successor with primary responsibility for

     Acquisition and Sustainment, to develop a database of 
     acquisition program metrics on NC3 systems not later than 1 
     year after the date of enactment of this Act.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include 
     both provisions but would change the date of notification by 
     the co-chairs of the Council required by the House provision 
     to not later than 7 days after the end of each semiannual 
     period. The conferees believe that this provision should be 
     implemented to minimize redundant reporting requirements; to 
     the extent there are existing Service reporting products, 
     those should be transmitted to the NLCC to support its 
     oversight of the system and its relevant acquisition 
     programs.
       The conferees are also aware of the importance of adequate 
     availability of secure facilities for NC3 recapitalization, 
     as referenced on page 248 of the House report accompanying 
     H.R. 2810 (H. Rept. 115-200) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. The conferees are

     for key U.S. Air Force installations related to NC3 
     acquisition and integration activities of the Air Force 
     Nuclear Weapons Center and Air Force Global Strike Command. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives not later than February 15, 
     2018, on the plans to ensure capitalization and

     provision would prohibit the Secretary from procuring or 
     obtaining any equipment, system, or service that relies on 
     such covered items, and it would provide waiver authority on 
     a case-by-case basis if the Secretary determines it to be in 
     the national security interest of the United States and 
     certifies to the congressional defense committees that 
     certain criteria are met.

       The House recedes.
       The conferees are mindful of the centrality of ITW/AA in 
     the five functions of nuclear command and control and related 
     missions. The conferees believe that this is a no-fail 
     mission, and applaud the personal interest taken by the 
     Secretary of Defense in it.
       To ensure appropriate oversight is in place, the conferees 
     direct the Department of Defense Inspector General to conduct 
     an evaluation of the ITW/AA system and the extent to which it 
     is meeting all established requirements for system 
     performance. The conferees direct that the final report shall 
     be submitted to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives not later than

                  Subtitle E--Missile Defense Programs

     Administration of missile defense and defeat programs (sec. 
         1676)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1681) that would 
     amend chapter 9 of title 10, United States Code, by creating 
     a new section that would establish a unified major force 
     program for missile defense and missile defeat programs. This 
     provision would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report on such programs for fiscal years 2019-2023. This 
     provision would further require the Secretary to transfer 
     acquisition authority and total obligation authority for each 
     program covered by this provision from the Missile Defense 
     Agency to a military department not later than the date on 
     which the President's budget is submitted for fiscal year 
     2020. The Secretary would also be required to submit a 
     report, not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, to the congressional defense committees on the 
     plans for such a transition. Finally, the provision would 
     change the term of the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     to 6 years and require that the Director report to and be 
     under the authority of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Research and Engineering.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     date for transitioning acquisition authority to fiscal year 
     2021.
       The conferees note that previous transitions of missile 
     defense acquisitions to the military services have a poor 
     track record and the conferees encourage the Missile Defense 
     Agency and the Department of Defense to take extra 
     precautions to ensure the transitioned programs are handled 
     appropriately with sound management and oversight mechanisms.
     Condition for proceeding beyond low-rate initial production 
         (sec. 1677)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1684) that would 
     require that, not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency, the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, the 
     Secretary of the Army, and the Secretary of the Navy jointly 
     ensure that the test plans of the Integrated Master Test Plan 
     of the ballistic missile defense system prioritize the 
     integration of missile defense capabilities, including 
     Patriot, Aegis ballistic missile defense, and Terminal High 
     Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace the 
     provision with a rule of construction that would give 
     authority to the Secretary of Defense to make a determination 
     on deployment of missile defense programs irrespective of 
     operational test and evaluation assessments on ballistic 
     missile defense systems.
     Preservation of the ballistic missile defense capacity of the 
         Army (sec. 1678)

     prohibit the Army from obligating or expending any funds 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made 
     available for fiscal year 2018 or any fiscal year thereafter 
     to demilitarize any Guidance Enhanced Missile TBM (GEM-T) 
     interceptor or remove any such interceptor from the 
     operational inventory of the Army until the date on which the 
     Secretary of the Army submits an evaluation to the 
     congressional defense committees of the ability of the Army 
     to meet warfighter requirements and operational needs if GEM-
     T interceptors are removed from the operational inventory of 
     the Army.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Army to submit a plan to the congressional defense committees 
     no later than 120 days after the enactment of this Act, on 
     the Army's ability to maintain an inventory of interceptors 
     necessary to retain the capability provided by GEM-T 
     interceptors.
     Modernization of Army lower tier air and missile defense 
         sensor (sec. 1679)

     require the Secretary of the Army to issue an acquisition 
     strategy not later than April 15, 2018, for a 360-degree 
     lower tier air and missile defense sensor that achieves 
     initial operating capability by January 1, 2022. This 
     provision would also establish the requirements, including 
     the use of competitive procedures, that must be satisfied by 
     such an acquisition strategy. Under this provision, if the 
     Secretary of the Army does not issue such an acquisition 
     strategy by April 15, 2018, the Secretary would no longer be 
     authorized to obligate or expend funding for the lower tier 
     air and missile defense sensor. Additionally, the Secretary 
     of Defense would be required to transfer the acquisition 
     responsibility for such a sensor to the Missile Defense 
     Agency, and its Director would be required to issue such 
     acquisition strategy by not later than December 15, 2018. If 
     the Secretary of Defense carries out such transfer, this 
     provision would further require that, after the 360-degree 
     sensor achieves Milestone B approval (or equivalent) but 
     before such sensor achieves Milestone C approval (or 
     equivalent), the Secretary of Defense transfer the 
     responsibility to procure such sensor and the funding 
     authorized to carry out such procurement from the Director 
     of the Missile Defense Agency to the Secretary of the 
     Army.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delay the 
     requirement for the Army to submit an acquisition strategy 
     until September 15, 2018 and the initial operating capability 
     to December 31, 2023.
     Defense of Hawaii from North Korean ballistic missile attack 
         (sec. 1680)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1685) that would 
     state the findings of Congress concerning the North Korean 
     ballistic missile threat and express the sense of Congress 
     concerning the improvement of the missile defense of Hawaii. 
     The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     protect the test and training operations of the Pacific 
     Missile Range Facility and assess the siting and 
     functionality of a discrimination radar throughout the 
     Hawaiian Islands before assessing the feasibility of using 
     existing missile defense assets to improve the missile 
     defense of Hawaii. This provision would also require the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency to conduct a test to

[[Page H9024]]

     evaluate the capability to defeat a simple intercontinental 
     ballistic missile (ICBM) using the standard missile 3 (SM-3) 
     block IIA interceptor and to develop a plan, as part of the 
     integrated master test plan for the ballistic missile defense 
     system, to defeat a complex ICBM threat, including a complex 
     threat posed by North Korean ICBMs. Finally, this provision 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees within 120 days after 
     the enactment of this Act that indicates whether the nuclear 
     deterrence capabilities of any adversary of the United States 
     would be undermined by a capability to defend against North 
     Korean ICBMs using SM-3 block IIA interceptors and whether 
     the Secretary has developed a strategy to address any such 
     effect upon an adversary's nuclear deterrent capabilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delay the 
     SM-3 block IIA ICBM intercept test to occur not later than 
     December 31, 2020.
     Designation of location of continental United States 
         interceptor site (sec. 1681)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1693) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to determine the location of 
     a potential additional continental United States interceptor 
     site within 30 days after the Ballistic Missile Defense 
     Review is issued. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary to consider specified contributing factors when 
     making such determination and would require the Secretary to 
     submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
     within 30 days after the site determination is made.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to designate the preferred location of a 
     potential additional continental United States interceptor 
     site within 60 days after the issuance of the Ballistic 
     Missile Defense Review.
     Aegis Ashore anti-air warfare capability (sec. 1682)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1686) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to use funds authorized by 
     sections 101 and 201 of this Act for deployment of anti-air 
     warfare capabilities at each Aegis Ashore site in Romania and 
     the Republic of Poland. This provision would further require 
     the Secretary to ensure that such capabilities are deployed 
     at the site in Romania by not later than 1 year after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act and at the site in Poland 
     by not later than 1 year after the declaration of operational 
     status of that site.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Development of persistent space-based sensor architecture 
         (sec. 1683)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1689) that would 
     express the sense of Congress on the importance of a space-
     based missile defense sensor layer and would require the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with 
     the Secretary of the Air Force and the heads of the 
     appropriate Defense Agencies and combat support agencies, to 
     develop a space-based sensor layer for ballistic missile 
     defense that provides precision tracking data of missiles 
     beginning in the boost phase and continuing throughout 
     subsequent flight regimes; serves other intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements; and achieves 
     an operational prototype payload at the earliest practicable 
     opportunity.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1652) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     develop, using sound acquisition practices, a highly reliable 
     and cost-effective persistent space-based sensor architecture 
     capable of supporting the ballistic missile defense system to 
     provide functions such as: (1) control of increased raid 
     sizes; (2) precision tracking of threat missiles; (3) fire-
     control-quality tracks of evolving threat missiles; (4) 
     enabling launch-on-remote and engage-on-remote capabilities; 
     (5) discrimination of warheads; (6) effective kill 
     assessment; (7) an enhanced shot doctrine; (8) integration 
     with the command, control, battle management, and 
     communication program of the ballistic missile defense 
     system, (9) integration with all other elements of the 
     current ballistic missile defense system, including the 
     Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, Aegis Ballistic Missile 
     Defense System, and Patriot Air and Missile Defense Systems; 
     (10) and any additional functions the Ballistic Missile 
     Defense Review finds to be appropriate.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency to submit a plan to 
     Congress not later than one year after enactment of this act 
     that describes how the Director will develop a space sensor 
     layer and an assessment of the maturity of critical 
     technologies necessary for making operational such a sensor 
     layer.

         Cooperative Missile Defense Program co-development and 
         co-production (sec. 1684)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1687) that would 
     make available $92.0 million for fiscal year 2018 for 
     procurement of system components for the Iron Dome short-
     range rocket defense system. The provision would condition 
     those funds subject to the terms, conditions, and 
     coproduction targets specified for fiscal year 2018 in a 
     bilateral international agreement amending the ``Agreement 
     Between the Department of Defense of the United States of 
     America and the Ministry of Defense of the State of Israel 
     Concerning Iron Dome Defense System Procurement.'' The 
     provision would also require that, not less than 30 days 
     prior to the initial obligation of these funds, the Director 
     of the Missile Defense Agency and the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics jointly 
     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 certification 
     that such agreement is being implemented as provided in the 
     agreement and an assessment detailing any risks relating to 
     the implementation of such agreement. The provision would 
     also authorize $221.5 million and $287.3 million for fiscal 
     year 2018 development, procurement, and coproduction of the 
     David's Sling Weapon System and the Arrow 3 Upper Tier 
     missile defense system, respectively. The provision would 
     further specify the terms and conditions to be achieved by 
     the Director of the Missile Defense Agency and the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics prior to the disbursement of the authorized funds 
     for David's Sling and Arrow 3. The provision would also 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics to provide a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate on the plans for improving 
     the affordability of the David's Sling Weapon system and the 
     Arrow 3 Upper Tier Interceptor Program not later than 30 days 
     after such plans are approved. Finally, this provision would 
     limit the funds to be authorized by this Act or otherwise 
     made available during fiscal year 2018 for the Missile 
     Defense Agency for the testing of the Arrow 3 Upper Tier 
     Development Program in ranges located in the United States 
     and expenses related to such testing to not more than $105.0 
     million.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1651) that 
     would authorize not more than $92.0 million for the Missile 
     Defense Agency to provide to the Government of Israel to 
     procure Tamir interceptors for the Iron Dome short-range 
     rocket defense system through coproduction of such 
     interceptors in the United States. Before disbursing the 
     funding for Iron Dome to the Government of Israel, the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency and the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment must 
     certify that the March 5, 2014, bilateral international 
     agreement concerning Iron Dome, as amended, is being 
     implemented. The provision would also authorize $120.0 
     million for the Missile Defense Agency to provide to the 
     Government of Israel for the procurement of the David's Sling 
     Weapon System and $120.0 million for the Arrow 3 Upper Tier 
     Interceptor program, including for coproduction of parts and 
     components in the United States by U.S. industry, after 
     certain certifications. Finally, the provision would prohibit 
     the obligation or expenditure of funds provided for the 
     procurement of the Arrow 3 Upper Tier Interceptor program 
     until 30 days after the successful completion of two flight 
     tests at a test range in the United States.
       The Senate amendment contained a further provision (sec. 
     6606) that would remove the limitation in section 1651 on the 
     obligation or expenditure of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated for procurement of the Arrow 3 Upper Tier 
     Interceptor program.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct representatives from the David's Sling 
     Weapon System Joint Affordability Working Group to brief the 
     congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 2017 
     on the drivers of production costs, cost reduction 
     initiatives, and efforts to achieve co-production 
     efficiencies for the David's Sling program.
     Boost phase ballistic missile defense (sec. 1685)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1694A) that

     effective interim kinetic or directed energy boost phase 
     ballistic missile defense capability is available for initial 
     operational deployment not later than December 31, 2020. The 
     provision would further require the Secretary to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees a plan to achieve this 
     requirement, including budget requirements, a robust test 
     schedule, and a plan to develop enduring boost phase missile 
     defense capability.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express a 
     sense of Congress that, if consistent with the direction or 
     recommendations of the Ballistic Missile Defense Review, the 
     Secretary of Defense should rapidly develop and demonstrate a 
     boost phase intercept capability, as soon as practicable, for 
     missile defense.
       The conferees note that the Missile Defense Agency has 
     completed an assessment of the cost, schedule and testing 
     profile for a boost phase intercept capability and encourage 
     the Missile Defense Agency to continue maturing the 
     technology. As the Missile Defense Agency continues to 
     develop a persistent space based sensor layer, it should, in 
     parallel, coordinate its efforts to develop the

[[Page H9025]]

     boost phase missile defense capability in order to ensure a 
     reasonable deployment date of both systems.
     Ground-based interceptor capability, capacity, and 
         reliability (sec. 1686)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699F) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to increase the number 
     of U.S. ground-based interceptors (GBIs) by up to 28. The 
     provision would further require the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on infrastructure requirements and costs 
     associated with increasing the number of ground-based 
     interceptors at Missile Field 1 and Missile Field 2 at Fort 
     Greely to 20 ground-based interceptors each.
       The House bill contained another provision (sec. 1699G) 
     that would express the sense of Congress that it is the 
     policy of the United States to maintain and improve an 
     effective, robust layered missile defense system. This 
     provision would further require the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the costs and benefits of increasing 
     the capacity of the ground-based midcourse defense element of 
     the ballistic missile defense system.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1653) that would also require the Secretary to identify a 
     ground-based interceptor stockpile storage site for up to 8 
     GBIs.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary of Defense to procure up to 28 ground-based 
     interceptors, if consistent with the direction or 
     recommendations of the Ballistic Missile Defense Review and 
     eliminates a number of reporting requirements, including on 
     transportable ground-based interceptors, planned improvements 
     to homeland ballistic missile defense sensor and 
     discrimination capabilities, and supplementing ground-based 
     midcourse defense elements with other, more distributed 
     elements, as these reports would be duplicative to reports 
     that have already been submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees.
     Limitation on availability of funds for ground-based 
         midcourse defense element of the ballistic missile 
         defense system (sec. 1687)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1691) that would 
     limit the funds authorized by this Act for fiscal year 2018 
     for the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) System by $50.0 
     million until the Secretary of Defense provides a written 
     certification that risk of mission failure of GMD-enhanced 
     kill vehicles due to foreign object debris has been minimized 
     or, if the certification cannot be made, a briefing on the 
     corrective measures that will be carried out to minimize such 
     risk.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     certification to be submitted by the Missile Defense Agency 
     Director, rather than by the Secretary of Defense, and would 
     remove the requirement for a briefing from the Missile 
     Defense Agency. If the Missile Defense Agency Director cannot 
     submit the required certification, the Director shall provide 
     a briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate on the corrective measures 
     that will be carried out to minimize such risk, including a 
     timeline and cost for the implementation of these measures.
     Plan for development of space-based ballistic missile 
         intercept layer (sec. 1688)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1690) that would 
     express the sense of Congress regarding the natural 
     advantages of space systems and their potential integration 
     into ballistic missile defense systems. The provision would 
     also require the Missile Defense Agency to develop a space-
     based ballistic missile intercept layer, establish a space 
     test bed for space-based ballistic missile intercept, and 
     submit a plan for developing the space-based ballistic 
     missile intercept layer.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     development of a space-based ballistic missile intercept 
     layer if it is consistent with the direction or 
     recommendations of the Ballistic Missile Defense Review and 
     extend the plan to carry out the development of the space-
     based ballistic missile intercept layer to a ten-year period.
     Sense of Congress on the state of the missile defense of the 
         United States (sec. 1689)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699E) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
     Defense should use the Ballistic Missile Defense Review 
     (BMDR) to consider accelerating the development of 
     technologies that will increase the capacity, capability, and 
     reliability of the ground-based midcourse defense element of 
     the ballistic missile defense system and that, upon 
     completion of the BMDR, to the extent practicable and with 
     sound acquisition practices, the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency should accelerate the development, testing, 
     and fielding of such capabilities as they are prioritized in 
     the BMDR, to include the redesigned kill vehicle, the multi-
     object kill vehicle, the C3 booster, a space-based sensor 
     layer, an airborne laser on unmanned aerial vehicles, and a 
     potential additional missile defense site.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1654) that also stated that it is essential for the 
     Department of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency to 
     follow a ``fly before you buy'' approach before final 
     production decisions or operational deployment.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Sense of Congress and report on ground-based midcourse 
         defense testing (sec. 1690)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699I) that 
     would express the sense of the Congress that the Missile 
     Defense Agency (MDA) should increase funding to homeland 
     missile defense testing and continue to flight test the 
     ground-based midcourse defense system at least once each 
     fiscal year. The provision would further require the Director 
     of the Missile Defense Agency to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees that includes a revised 
     missile defense testing campaign that accelerates the 
     development and deployment of new missile defense 
     technologies. Per the provision, this revised testing 
     campaign should specifically review the acceleration of the 
     redesigned kill vehicle, the multi-object kill vehicle, the 
     configuration-3 booster, unmanned aerial vehicles that 
     utilize directed energy, and a space-based missile defense 
     sensor architecture.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1655).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     provision to a sense of Congress and delay the reporting 
     requirement to be submitted 90 days after the Ballistic 
     Missile Defense Review is published.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters

     Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from 
         Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks and Similar Events (sec. 
         1691)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699B) that 
     would establish a new Commission to Assess the Threat to the 
     United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks and Events, 
     with 12 members appointed by the chairs and ranking members 
     of the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would clarify that 
     geomagnetic disturbances and other events that could cause 
     similar effects are within the scope of the commission, would 
     change the termination and report dates for the commission, 
     and would clarify the list of departments that must cooperate 
     with the commission and provide liaison officers.
       The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to 
     consider, in its plans, requirements, doctrines, training, 
     and acquisitions, the threat posed by electromagnetic pulse 
     (EMP) attacks on the continental United States, on forward-
     deployed U.S. military forces, and allied forces and 
     territory. The conferees further urge the Department to take 
     appropriate and timely action to protect U.S. military 
     installations, equipment, and personnel from EMP attacks.
     Protection of certain facilities and assets from unmanned 
         aircraft (sec. 1692)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1695) that would 
     amend section 130i of title 10, United States Code, to 
     provide the authority to protect against threats posed by 
     nefarious or irresponsible use of unmanned aircraft systems 
     (UAS) against certain military ranges and test facilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no such provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would augment the 
     Secretary of Defense's existing authority to use counter-UAS 
     (CUAS) technology to include additional critical mission 
     areas in light of emerging threats posed to Department of 
     Defense facilities and assets located within the United 
     States (including the territories and possessions of the 
     United States). The provision would require the Secretary of 
     Defense to: coordinate with the Secretary of Transportation 
     and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator 
     to implement CUAS authority because of the potential effects 
     to the national airspace system and civil aviation 
     operations; implement CUAS capabilities that ensure privacy 
     protection in a manner consistent with the Fourth Amendment 
     to the United States Constitution and applicable Federal law; 
     submit to Congress annual funding budget materials that 
     describe the CUAS enterprise; and, conduct briefings, with 
     the Secretary of Transportation, to the appropriate 
     congressional committees on activities undertaken pursuant to 
     the CUAS authority. Additionally, the provision would require 
     Congress to review, modernize and reauthorize CUAS authority 
     as integration of UAS technology and operation procedures are 
     evolved into the National Airspace System by limiting to a 
     period of three years the Department's exercise of CUAS 
     authority for all newly added mission areas, with the 
     exception of the new mission area included in the House 
     provision.
       The Department of Defense (DOD) made a request to the Armed 
     Services Committees of the House of Representatives and the 
     Senate on September, 27, 2017, to expand DOD's CUAS authority 
     for specific mission areas. DOD asked the conferees to 
     consider a U.S. Government, inter-agency coordinated, 
     legislative proposal that would expand the limited CUAS 
     authority that was provided to the Department last year in 
     the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2017 (P.L. 114-328). Despite the

[[Page H9026]]

     timing of the proposal, the conferees assessed it was 
     imperative to consider the authority for expanded mission 
     areas and additional legal protections in the legislative 
     proposal, given the growing threat that nefarious and 
     irresponsible use of UAS capabilities and the potential harm 
     they could inflict against facilities and assets of the 
     Department of Defense.
       To coincide with Congress' close oversight of DOD's use of 
     CUAS authority, the conferees direct the Comptroller General 
     of the United States to provide a report to the Armed 
     Services Committees of the House of Representatives and the 
     Senate, the House Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure, and the Senate Committee on Commerce, 
     Science, and Technology, not later than February 1, 2019. 
     That report should assess DOD's oversight and use of 
     authority pertaining to CUAS governance structure, budget and 
     capabilities development, implementation strategy, 
     effectiveness and efficiency of coordination between relevant 
     U.S. Government departments and agencies, and what actions 
     the Secretary of Defense and the FAA Administrator are taking 
     to institutionalize collaboration and coordination efforts 
     among federal agencies to responsibly exercise CUAS authority 
     and ensuring the safety of civil aviation and the national 
     airspace system.
       The conferees note that the provision included in this Act 
     would provide an exemption to section 46502 of title 49 
     United States Code, and any provision of title 18 United 
     States Code, for members of the armed forces, officers, and 
     civilian employees of DOD with assigned duties that include 
     safety, security or protection of personnel, facilities or 
     assets, and who may take actions to mitigate a UAS threat. 
     The conferees are uncertain as to whether or not these same 
     exemptions to United States Code should apply to certain 
     employees of the FAA who assist DOD in the exercise of CUAS 
     authority. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Transportation, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Defense, to provide a report to the House Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure, the Senate Committee on 
     Commerce, Science, and Technology, and the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the 
     Senate, not later than March 1, 2018, that would thoroughly 
     assess the need for certain employees of the FAA, who assist 
     DOD in the exercise of CUAS authority, to be afforded the 
     same, or similar, CUAS authority and legal protections as 
     provided to DOD personnel. Additionally, if it is determined 
     that certain FAA employees should be afforded the same, or 
     similar, legal protections as DOD personnel, the conferees 
     expect submission from the appropriate Secretary to Congress 
     of a U.S. Government inter-agency coordinated legislative 
     proposal during a future budget request.
       Finally, in the face of a growing threat to U.S. Government 
     facilities, and Department of Defense facilities in 
     particular, the conferees encourage the Department to inform 
     the appropriate congressional committees of specific and 
     validated requirements to protect its facilities, assets, and 
     personnel for the mission areas designated in this provision, 
     and for any emergent mission areas in the future. 
     Accordingly, the conferees expect the Department of Defense 
     to coordinate closely with the Secretary of Transportation 
     and other Executive Branch departments, as appropriate, 
     through effective and efficient interagency processes to 
     ensure that the use of CUAS authority comports with relevant 
     regulations governing the safe and efficient use of the 
     National Airspace System, protects constitutional civil 
     liberties, and is judiciously and responsibly employed for 
     the highest-priority facilities and assets of the Department 
     of Defense.
     Conventional prompt global strike weapons system (sec. 1693)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1692) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, coordination with the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to plan to reach early 
     operational capability for the conventional prompt strike 
     weapon system by not later than September 30, 2022. The 
     provision would also limit the obligation or expenditure of 
     funds for fiscal year 2018 for research, development, test, 
     and evaluation, Defense-wide, for this system to no more than 
     50 percent until the Chairman submits a report to the 
     congressional defense committees.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     limitation on funds, and instead require the same report due 
     180 days from the date of enactment of this Act.
     Business case analysis regarding ammonium perchlorate (sec. 
         1694)
       The House bill contained two provisions that would require 
     reports concerning ammonium perchlorate. One provision (sec. 
     1697) would require a report concerning the costs associated 
     with using a new supplier of ammonium perchlorate, including 
     requalification costs. The other provision (sec. 1698) would 
     require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation to do a business case analysis regarding options 
     for maintaining a second domestic supply of ammonium 
     perchlorate. This provision would also prohibit the 
     Department of Defense from using funds to develop a new 
     source for ammonium perchlorate until after the report was 
     completed.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     both provisions into one and remove the limitation on the 
     Department of Defense funds to develop a new source for 
     ammonium perchlorate.
     Report on industrial base for large solid rocket motors and 
         related technologies (sec. 1695)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration, to develop a plan to ensure a robust domestic 
     industrial base for large solid rocket motors and critical 
     technologies, subsystems, components, and materials related 
     to such rocket motors.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Administrator 
     of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, to 
     submit a report by March 1, 2018. The report shall include an 
     assessment of options to sustain two domestic suppliers of:
       (1) large solid rocket motors;
       (2) small liquid-fueled rocket engines;
       (3) aeroshells for reentry vehicles or reentry bodies;
       (4) strategic radiation-hardened microelectronics; and
       (5) any other critical technologies, subsystems, 
     components, and materials within and relating to large solid 
     rocket motors that the Secretary determines appropriate.
       For the items listed above, the Secretary shall also 
     include views on sustaining two or more suppliers, risks 
     within the industrial base, estimated costs for sustaining 
     multiple suppliers, and opportunities to ensure competition.
     Pilot program on enhancing information sharing for security 
         of supply chain (sec. 1696)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699A) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot 
     program by June 1, 2019, to enhance information sharing 
     with cleared defense contractors for the purpose of 
     ensuring supply chain security. This provision would also 
     require the Secretary to select 10 acquisition or 
     sustainment programs to participate in the pilot program 
     and would further provide criteria that the Secretary 
     would be required to satisfy when selecting the 10 
     programs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Pilot program on electromagnetic spectrum mapping (sec. 1697)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699C) that 
     would establish a pilot program to assess the viability of 
     space-based mapping of the electromagnetic spectrum used by 
     the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Use of commercial items in Distributed Common Ground Systems 
         (sec. 1698)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1696) that would 
     require that procurement for each Distributed Common Ground 
     System (DCGS) be carried out in accordance with section 2377 
     of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Establishment of subordinate unified command of the United 
         States Strategic Command
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1602) that would 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to establish United States 
     Space Command as a subordinate unified command under United 
     States Strategic Command not later than January 1, 2019. This 
     provision would also require the commander of such command to 
     hold a four-star rank and be appointed by the President and 
     confirmed by the Senate. The commander would exercise command 
     of joint space activities or missions, and the United States 
     Space Command would be jointly staffed.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Policy of the United States with respect to classification of 
         space as a combat domain
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605) that 
     would state that it is the policy of the United States to 
     develop, procure, field, and maintain an integrated system of 
     assets in response to the increasingly contested nature of 
     the space operating domain to: (1) ensure the resilience of 
     capabilities at every level of orbit in space; (2) deter or 
     deny an attack on capabilities at every level of orbit in 
     space; and (3) defend the territory of the United States, its 
     allies, and its deployed forces across all operating domains.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that space is a combat domain and that 
     the provision was not included only because it was 
     duplicative of previous policy already asserting such.
     Conditional transfer of acquisition and funding authority of 
         certain weather missions to National Reconnaissance 
         Office
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that would 
     require the Secretary of the

[[Page H9027]]

     Air Force and the Director of the National Reconnaissance 
     Office to execute the transfer of certain weather missions 
     from the Air Force to the National Reconnaissance Office 
     unless the Secretary and Director both issued the waivers 
     described in section 1614(c) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on space-based nuclear detection
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1624) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of Energy, and the Secretary 
     of State to jointly submit to the congressional defense and 
     intelligence committees a report on space-based nuclear 
     detection.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing with the appropriate representatives from the office 
     of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Department 
     of Energy, and the State Department to the congressional 
     defense and intelligence committees on space-based nuclear 
     detection. The briefing shall include a strategic plan, 
     including with respect to current and planned space 
     platforms, to host the relevant payloads. The briefing shall 
     also include a discussion on the current and planned national 
     security requirements for space-based nuclear detection 
     including: which agencies own the requirements; how current 
     requirements compare to past requirements; and how future 
     funding for the space-based nuclear detection program is 
     being provided by each such department or agency to meet each 
     mission requirement.
     Sense of Congress on new commercial satellite servicing 
         activities
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1625) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that government funding and 
     support is an important element in fostering the development 
     of a robust marketplace of new commercial satellite servicing 
     activities and that Federal Government should ensure that its 
     actions do not unduly or artificially distort competition in 
     the market for new commercial satellite servicing activities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Prohibition on use of software platforms developed by 
         Kaspersky Lab
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1630B) 
     that would prohibit any component of the Department of 
     Defense from using, whether directly or through work with or 
     on behalf of another element of the United States Government, 
     from using any software platform developed, in whole or in 
     part, by Kaspersky Lab or any entity of which Kaspersky Lab 
     has a majority ownership.
       The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 
     11602) that would provide that section 1630B would have no 
     force or effect.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes. The conferees note that section 11603 
     of the Senate amendment, which would prohibit any department, 
     agency, organization, or other element of the United States 
     Government from using any product developed by Kaspersky Lab 
     or any entity of which Kaspersky Lab has majority ownership, 
     represented a broader substitute for section 1630B of the 
     Senate amendment.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for certain relocation 
         activities for NATO intelligence fusion center
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1637) that would 
     prohibit the availability of funds for fiscal year 2018 for 
     the procurement of fit-out supplies and equipment to support 
     the relocation of the NIFC from RAF Molesworth (United 
     Kingdom) to RAF Croughton (United Kingdom).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress and report on geospatial commercial 
         activities for basic and applied research and development
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1639) that would 
     express the sense of Congress on geospatial commercial 
     activities for basic and applied research and development and 
     would require a report on authorities needed to establish 
     commercial activities for the purposes of research and 
     technology development.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees support pursuing innovative solutions to the 
     pressing challenge of automated exploitation of imagery to 
     address both the vast quantities of imagery collected by the 
     armed forces and the intelligence community and the speed 
     required to support military action against fleeting targets. 
     The conferees understand that many U.S. commercial technology 
     companies, which are not part of the Defense Department's 
     established industrial base, possess the needed talent and 
     technological capability in artificial intelligence and 
     machine learning. The conferees further understand that the 
     key to the development of effective machine learning 
     algorithms is access to large volumes of data on which to 
     train.
       The conferees recognize that the National Geospatial-
     Intelligence Agency's (NGA) large holdings of imagery data 
     are therefore of immense value and grasp the logic behind 
     NGA's proposal to invest that data in partnership with 
     leading edge companies. However, while the conferees are 
     supportive of NGA's objectives of more effectively harnessing 
     private industry expertise, questions remain about many 
     details of the proposal, including the request to waive 
     certain statutes, rules, and regulations, as well as the lack 
     of a plan for sharing of classified or otherwise sensitive 
     data.
       The conferees encourage NGA to continue to work within the 
     Department of Defense to develop and submit a legislative 
     proposal to the House and Senate Armed Services in time for 
     consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2019. In the meantime, the conferees encourage 
     NGA to use all available authorities and opportunities to 
     advance artificial intelligence and machine learning 
     capabilities in partnership with commercial industry to 
     achieve automated exploitation of its data, including by 
     working with the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental 
     (DIUx) to make NGA data available to the DIUx DataHub 
     contractors for synthetic aperture radar imagery 
     exploitation. The conferees direct the NGA to keep the 
     Armed Services Committees of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives updated on its activities in this area and 
     to identify challenges that remain. The conferees look 
     forward to continuing to work with the NGA on addressing 
     this matter.
     Department of Defense Counterintelligence polygraph program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to add dual citizens in 
     positions with access to highly classified information to 
     their counterintelligence polygraph program, for the purposes 
     of assessing risk.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Security clearance for dual-nationals
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1641) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to provide additional review 
     before approving a security clearance for a United States 
     national who also has the nationality of a foreign state (a 
     dual national) who is appointed to or hired for a position 
     designated by the Office of Personnel Management as critical 
     sensitive or special sensitive. The provision would also 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive this requirement 
     for certain dual nationals.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Suspension or revocation of security clearances based on 
         unlawful or inappropriate contacts with representatives 
         of a foreign government
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1642) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to suspend or revoke any 
     security clearance granted by the Department of Defense if 
     the holder of that security clearance has engaged in unlawful 
     or inappropriate contacts with representatives of the 
     government of a foreign country.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Strategy for the offensive use of cyber capabilities
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1656) that would 
     require the President to develop a written strategy for the 
     offensive use of cyber capabilities by departments and 
     agencies of the Federal Government.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the elements of this strategy have 
     been incorporated in a separate provision in this Act 
     requiring the Department of Defense conduct a Cyber Posture 
     Review.
     Definition of deterrence in the context of cyber operations
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1658) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop a definition of 
     ``deterrence'' to be used in the context of cyber operations 
     in the Department of Defense and assess this definition's 
     impact on the Department's cyber strategy.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1630A) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on various 
     approaches to cyber deterrence.
       The conference agreement does not include either provision. 
     The conferees note that elements of both provisions have been 
     incorporated in a separate provision in this act requiring 
     the Department of Defense conduct a Cyber Posture Review.

     based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system until 30 days after the 
     report specified at the end of this provision is submitted to 
     the congressional defense committees. The provision would 
     further require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation (CAPE) to conduct a review of the contract for the 
     systems integration, operations, and test of the GMD system 
     and submit such review to the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Research and Engineering and the Missile Defense Executive 
     Board. Finally, the provision would require the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the 
     Missile Defense Executive Board to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees within 30 days after the 
     review is received that includes the review itself, without 
     change, and any views and recommendations of the Under 
     Secretary and the Board on the review.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Short title
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699D) that 
     would establish the subtitle as the Advancing America's 
     Missile Defense Act of 2017.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Evaluation and evolution of terrestrial ground-based 
         midcourse defense sensors
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699H) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     submit a report on the status of the integrated layers of 
     missile defense radars, including the Long Range 
     Discrimination Radar and Cobra Dane.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees are aware of the critical sensor coverage 
     that the Cobra Dane radar provides to the Ballistic Missile 
     Defense System in the tracking of threatening ballistic 
     missiles, as well as its role in space surveillance and 
     identification of space objects, but that it confronts 
     growing sustainment and obsolescence challenges. 
     Additionally, the conferees support the deployment of the 
     Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) for improved 
     persistent long-range midcourse discrimination, precision 
     tracking, and hit assessment of threat ballistic missiles, 
     but acknowledge that the LRDR is not a one-for-one 
     replacement for the Cobra Dane radar. In addition, the 
     conferees are concerned that, as the Air Force's new space 
     fence radar becomes operational in 2020, the Air Force will 
     not need the capabilities of the Cobra Dane radar for space 
     surveillance. The conferees remain concerned about the lack 
     of a comprehensive and credible plan for cost-effective 
     investments in technology refresh to maximize Cobra Dane's 
     reliability and minimize life cycle costs.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Air 
     Force, in coordination with the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency and the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees concurrently 
     with the fiscal year 2019 budget request, a report on the 
     long-term operation and sustainment of Cobra Dane. The report 
     should characterize Cobra Dane's current operational 
     availability and sustainment challenges and include a 
     detailed comparison of the capabilities of the LRDR and the 
     Cobra Dane radar, to include the unique capabilities of each 
     radar, the common capabilities of each radar, and the 
     advantages and disadvantages of each radar's location. It 
     should also include a plan, with an associated cost estimate 
     and funding profile across the future years defense program, 
     for meeting the military's requirements through alternative 
     radar solutions or the continued operation and maintenance of 
     the Cobra Dane radar. Plans for sustainment of the Cobra Dane 
     radar should address obsolescence challenges and expediting 
     and smoothing investments in priority refresh projects, such 
     as transmitter group replacement, automated data processing 
     equipment rehost, and traveling wave tube redesign in fiscal 
     year 2019 and over the future years defense program. Finally, 
     the report should outline the costs, and how they will be 
     shared, to maintain operational access and sustainment of 
     Shemya Island, on which the radar resides. The conferees also 
     direct the Comptroller General of the United States to review 
     the plan described above and submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on such a review, including 
     findings and recommendations, not later than 90 days after 
     the release of the fiscal year 2019 budget request.
     Sense of Congress on establishing an award program for the 
         cyber community of the Department of Defense
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6602) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
     Defense should consider establishing an award program for 
     employees of the Department of Defense who carry out the 
     cyber missions or functions of the Department.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on integration of modernization and sustainment of 
         nuclear triad
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6607) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics, in coordination with the Secretary 
     of the Navy and the Secretary of the Air Force, to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees on the 
     potential to achieve greater efficiency by integrating 
     elements of acquisition programs related to the modernization 
     and sustainment of the nuclear triad.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Secretary of Defense has called 
     for ``horizontal integration across DoD components to improve 
     efficiency and take advantage of economies of scale.'' The 
     conferees urge the Navy, the Air Force, the Missile Defense 
     Agency, and other components of the Department of Defense and 
     wider U.S. Government to work together to increase 
     integration, co-location, and commonality where appropriate 
     between acquisition programs to improve efficiency and 
     effectiveness for programs related to nuclear forces, large 
     diameter missiles and rockets, and other pertinent 
     capabilities.
     Report on progress made in implementing the Cyber Excepted 
         Personnel System
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11605) 
     that would amend section 1599f(h)(2) of title 10, United 
     States Code, by adding a new subparagraph that would require 
     an assessment of the progress made in implementing the Cyber 
     Excepted Personnel System.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, no later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, on the process made in implementing 
     the Cyber Excepted Personnel System.

   Title XVII--Small Business Procurement and Industrial Base Matters

     Amendments to HUBZone provisions of the Small Business Act 
         (sec. 1701)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 899C) that 
     would expand the pool of eligible communities for the Small 
     Business Administration's (SBA) Historically Underutilized 
     Business Zone (HUBZone) program and provides much-needed 
     flexibility to rural small businesses participating in the 
     program. This provision would allow governors to directly 
     petition SBA to designate additional rural areas as HUBZones; 
     would reduce the number of a small firm's employees required 
     to live within a HUBZone from 35 to 33 percent; and would 
     require SBA's HUBZone office to make a decision on a 
     governor's application within 60 days.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     nonmetropolitan county formula, currently used for the SBA 
     HUBZone program, to the State medium income; this would allow 
     more than 1,000 more HUBZone areas to qualify for the 
     program. It would create new performance metrics for the SBA 
     HUBZone program; it would also require the SBA to conduct 
     biennial and random program examinations, and if a firm loses 
     certification due to an examination, it would have 30 days to 
     submit documentation to the SBA reestablishing certification. 
     It would require the SBA to process HUBZone applications 
     within 60 days after submission; require firms to recertify 
     every 3 years; consolidate the HUBZone statutes from section 
     3 (definitions) and section 31 (HUBZone program) into the 
     HUBZone program section. It would also establish a new time 
     model for the HUBZone program, recalculating in 5-year 
     increments starting in 2020; requiring the establishment of a 
     new HUBZone map that will refresh every 5-years (starting in 
     2020). It would allow State governors to petition the SBA to 
     certify as a HUBZone in an area that would otherwise not 
     qualify; would require the SBA to maintain a list of 
     qualified firms online; update appropriations language to 
     2020; and would ensure that Base Realignment and Closure 
     (BRAC) areas maintain their HUBZone status for a certain 
     number of years. Finally, this provision would keep current 
     qualified and redesignated firms eligible until January 1, 
     2020; and in 2020, the rest of the provision will be enacted 
     moving the HUBZone program into its proposed 5-year cycle.
     Uniformity in procurement terminology (sec. 1702)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1702) that would 
     amend section 3(m) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     632(m)) and section 15(j) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 644(j)) to update procurement terminology consistent 
     with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and with terminology 
     used in titles 10 and 41, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Improving reporting on small business goals (sec. 1703)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1701) that would 
     amend section 15(h) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     644(h)) to require the Small Business Administration, using 
     data already required to be collected from contractors, to 
     track companies that outgrow or no longer qualify for a small 
     business program, as well as identify how prime contracting 
     goals are met.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     amend section 8(d)(17) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     637(d)(17)) to require that the past performance pilot 
     program authorized in section 8(d) of the Small Business Act 
     allow small businesses to submit performance of a contract 
     for a sale of defense items to the Government of a North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ally, the Government of a

     would create a pilot program that would authorize the 
     Department of Defense to use existing authorities to support 
     investments that enhance the ability of the defense 
     industrial base to meet military needs. The provision would 
     also authorize the Department to invest in the manufacture of 
     these kinds of technologies and systems, especially through 
     the use of contracts, loan guarantees, direct loans, and 
     purchases of equipment to support the startup of needed 
     production lines. Further, the provision would allow the 
     Department to engage with private sector financing and

                 Title XXII--Navy Military Construction

      Summary
        The budget request included $1.6 billion for military 
     construction and $411.9 million for family housing for the 
     Navy in fiscal year 2018.
        The conference agreement includes authorization of 
     appropriations of $1.7 billion for military construction and 
     $411.9 million for family housing for the Navy in fiscal year 
     2018.
        The agreement includes authorization for six projects from 
     the Navy's unfunded requirements list. These projects 
     include: $47.6 million for a F-35 Simulator Facility at 
     Miramar, California; $43.3 million for a Combat Vehicle 
     Warehouse at Albany, Georgia; $36.0 million for an Undersea 
     Rescue Command Operations Building at Coronado, California; 
     $26.5 million for Mokapu Gate Entry Control AT/FP Compliance 
     at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii; and $23.7 million for a TBS Fire 
     Station Building 533 Replacement at Quantico, Virginia.
        In addition, the agreement recommends reduction of funding 
     for a project contained in the budget request submitted by 
     the Department of the Navy for military construction and 
     family housing. This reduction is:
       (1) $60.0 million for Washington Navy Yard antiterrorism/
     force protection at the Washington Navy Yard, District of 
     Columbia. The budget request included $60.0 million to enable 
     protection of critical assets from explosive threats, 
     acoustic and electronic surveillance and encroachment. The 
     conferees believe the Navy has not fully explored all 
     alternatives to address antiterrorism and force protection 
     issues at the Washington Navy Yard, and does not believe it 
     is cost-effective or appropriate for taxpayers to pay for 
     land acquisition to support the construction of a privately 
     funded museum. Therefore, the agreement recommends no funds, 
     a reduction of $60.0 million, for this project.
        In addition, the agreement recommends reduction of funding 
     for a project contained in the base budget request submitted 
     by the Department of the Navy for military construction and 
     family housing and recommends a transfer of this projects to 
     the Overseas Contingency Operations title of this Act. This 
     reduction is:
       (1) $13.39 million for an Aircraft Parking Apron Expansion 
     at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti. The budget request included 
     $13.39 million to support transient and steady-state aircraft 
     parking requirements. The conferees support this requirement. 
     However, the agreement recommends no funds in the base 
     budget, a reduction of $13.39 million, for this project in 
     order to transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas 
     Contingency Operations Military Construction.
      Authorized Navy construction and land acquisition projects 
         (sec. 2201)

              Title XXIII--Air Force Military Construction

      Summary
        The budget request included $1.74 billion for military 
     construction and $403.4 million for family housing for the 
     Air Force in fiscal year 2018. The conference agreement 
     includes authorization of appropriations of $1.68 billion for 
     military construction and $395.4 million for family housing 
     for the Air Force in fiscal year 2018.
        The agreement includes authorization for seven projects 
     from the Air Force's unfunded requirements list. These 
     projects include: $56.4 million for military construction 
     planning and design; $44.0 million for Dormitories (288 RM) 
     at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida; $20.0 million for a 
     Dormitory (168 PN) at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas; 
     $17.0 million for a fire station at Tyndall Air Force Base, 
     Florida; $16.0 million for a Fire Rescue Center at Altus Air 
     Force Base, Oklahoma; $9.3 million for a Fire Station at 
     Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico; and $6.8 million for a 
     Fire/Crash Rescue Station at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, 
     Ohio.
        The agreement also recommends reduction of funding for 
     projects contained in the budget request submitted by the 
     Department of the Air Force for military construction and 
     family housing. These reductions include:
       (1) $154.0 million for the Presidential Aircraft Recap 
     Complex at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. This budget request 
     included $254.0 million to construct a complex to support the 
     beddown of the new aircraft for the Presidential Airlift 
     Group. The conferees support the requirement for this project 
     and provides the full project authorization of $254.0 million 
     included in the budget request. However, the conferees 
     support the authorization of appropriations in an amount 
     equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute in the 
     year of the authorization for appropriations. For this 
     project, the conferees believe that the Department of Defense 
     has exceeded its ability to fully expend the funding in 
     fiscal year 2018. Therefore, the agreement recommends $100.0 
     million, a reduction of $154.0 million, and incremental 
     funding for this project.
       (2) $6.4 million for the KC-46A ALTER B181/185/187 Squad 
     OPS/AMU at Travis Air Force Base, California. While the 
     conferees support the requirement for this project, the 
     conferees believe the project is early-to-need based on the 
     arrival of the first KC-46A at Travis in approximately fiscal 
     year 2022. Therefore, the agreement recommends no funding, a 
     reduction of $6.4 million, for this project.
       (3) $1.4 million for the KC-46A ADAL B14 Fuel Cell Hangar 
     at Travis Air Force Base, California. While the conferees 
     support the requirement for this project, the conferees 
     believe the project is early-to-need based on the arrival of 
     the first KC-46A at Travis in approximately fiscal year 2022. 
     In addition, the conferees note that this project can be 
     addressed using the unspecified minor construction 
     authorities provided in section 2805 of title 10, United 
     States Code. Therefore, the agreement recommends no funding, 
     a reduction of $1.4 million, for this project.
        Finally, the agreement recommends reduction of funding for 
     several projects contained in the base budget request 
     submitted by the Department of the Air Force for military 
     construction and family housing and recommends a transfer of 
     these projects to the Overseas Contingency Operations title 
     of this Act. These reductions include:

     project in order to transfer this project to Title XXIX, 
     Overseas Contingency Operations Military Construction.
       (3) $15.0 million for a Consolidated Squadron Operations 
     Facility at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. The budget request 
     included $15.0 million to support the consolidation of 
     administration and management functions from separated 
     temporary facilities into a consolidated permanent facility 
     that is properly sized and configured. The conferees support 
     this requirement. However, the agreement recommends no funds 
     in the base budget, a reduction of $15.0 million, for this 
     project in order to transfer this project to Title XXIX, 
     Overseas Contingency Operations Military Construction.

           Title XXIV--Defense Agencies Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included $3.12 billion for military 
     construction and $62.5 million for family housing for defense 
     agencies in fiscal year 2018.
       The conference agreement includes authorization of 
     appropriations of $2.94 billion for military construction and 
     $62.5 million for family housing for defense agencies in 
     fiscal year 2018.
       The agreement recommends an increase of funding for a 
     program contained in the budget request submitted by the 
     Department of Defense for military construction and family 
     housing. This increase includes:
       (1) $15.0 million for the Energy Resiliency and 
     Conservation Investment Program. The budget request included 
     $150.0 million for the Energy Resiliency and Conservation 
     Investment Program. The conferees support investments that 
     reduce mission risk by increasing energy resiliency at 
     military installation. Therefore, the agreement recommends 
     $165.0 million, an increase of $15.0 million, for this 
     program in fiscal year 2018.

[[Page H9033]]

       (2) $200.0 million for Missile Field #4 at Fort Greely, 
     Alaska. A budget amendment submitted by the Department of 
     Defense included a request to support construction of 20 
     additional silos at Fort Greely. Therefore, the agreement 
     recommends $200.0 million, an increase of $200.0 million, for 
     this project in fiscal year 2018.
       The agreement also recommends reduction of funding for 
     projects contained in the budget request submitted by the 
     Department of Defense for military construction and family 
     housing. These reductions include:
       (1) $206.0 million for Next NGA West (N2W) Complex at St. 
     Louis, Missouri. The budget request included $381.0 million 
     to construct the first phase of a new complex for the 
     National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency as it relocates to a 
     new location in St. Louis, Missouri. The conferees support 
     providing an authorization of appropriations for fiscal year 
     2018 only in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
     National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to execute in the 
     year of the authorization of appropriations. Therefore, the 
     agreement recommends $175.0 million, a reduction of $206.0 
     million, and incremental funding for this project in fiscal 
     year 2018.
       (2) $150.0 million for the Hospital Replacement at Fort 
     Leonard Wood, Missouri. The budget request includes $250.0 
     million to construct the first phase of a replacement 
     hospital at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The conferees are 
     aware that a $135.0 million second phase is also required to 
     support the medical requirements at Fort Leonard Wood. The 
     conferees believe it is more appropriate to authorize the 
     full scope of a military construction requirement and provide 
     incremental funding as opposed to bifurcating a construction 
     project into separate phases. Therefore, the agreement 
     recommends combining the two phases into a single project and 
     provides a total authorization of $381.3 million for the 
     Hospital Replacement at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. However, 
     the conferees support providing an authorization of 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2018 only in an amount 
     equivalent to the ability of the Defense Health Agency to 
     execute in the year of the authorization of appropriations. 
     Therefore, the agreement recommends $100.0 million, a 
     reduction of $150.0 million, and incremental funding for this 
     project in fiscal year 2018.
       (3) $10.0 million for Contingency Construction at 
     Unspecified Worldwide Locations. The budget request included 
     $10.0 million to support contingency construction 
     requirements not previously authorized by law. The conferees 
     note that the Department of Defense has not requested a 
     military construction project using funds from this account 
     since 2008. In addition, the conferees note that unobligated 
     balances remain available in the military construction 
     account and other authorities exist to construct projects 
     that are in keeping with a national security interest. As 
     such, the agreement recommends no funds, a reduction of $10.0 
     million, for this program.
       Finally, the agreement recommends reduction of funding for 
     several projects contained in the base budget request 
     submitted by the Department of Defense for military 
     construction and family housing and recommends a transfer of 
     these projects to the Overseas Contingency Operations title 
     of this Act. These reductions include:
       (1) $22.4 million to Construct Hydrant System at Naval Air 
     Station Sigonella, Italy. The budget request included $22.4 
     million to replace an aging and inadequate jet fuel hydrant 
     system and piping loop needed to support U.S. and North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization aircraft. The conferees support 
     this requirement. However, the agreement recommends no funds 
     in the base budget, a reduction of $22.4 million, for this 
     project in order to transfer this project to Title XXIX, 
     Overseas Contingency Operations Military Construction.

     would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to construct a 
     structure for visitor services, including a public restroom 
     facility, on the Arlington Ridge tract.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees encourage the Secretary of the Interior to

     design of the visitor center prior to construction to ensure 
     that it is compatible with the Marine Corps War Memorial.
     Modification of prohibition on transfer of veterans memorial 
         objects to foreign governments without specific 
         authorization in law (sec. 2864)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2814) that would 
     amend Section 2752(e) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     limit the restrictions in that section to veterans memorial 
     objects brought to the United States prior to 1907. The 
     provision would also extend the prohibition on the return of 
     veterans memorial objects to a foreign country or entity 
     controlled by a foreign government until September 30, 2022.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would create an 
     exception to allow for the transfer of the Bells of Balangiga 
     to the Republic of the Philippines if the Secretary of 
     Defense makes certain required certifications to Congress. 
     These include that the transfer is in the national security 
     interests of the United States and that appropriate steps 
     have been taken to preserve the history of veterans 
     associated with the objects on public display at the F.E. 
     Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming, including 
     consultation with associated veterans organizations and 
     government officials in the State of Wyoming.

     glass bead with a 1.6 refractive index or less from use on 
     airfield markings on airfields under the control of the 
     Secretary.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     use of beads exceeding a 1.6 refractive index unless a 
     certification is submitted that the current process of 
     conducting a life-cycle cost assessment when Type I and Type 
     III beads are offered in response to a solicitation 
     appropriately considers the local site conditions, life-cycle 
     cost maintenance, environmental impact, operational

     Retirement Home (AFRH) to acquire property or lease non-
     excess property of the AFRH.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

     the Chief Operating Officer of the Armed Forces Retirement 
     Home to lease non-excess property subject to the approval of 
     the Secretary of Defense.
     Restrictions on rehabilitation of Over-the-Horizon 
         Backscatter Radar Station (sec. 2874)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2863) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of the Air Force from using any funds 
     or resources to carry out the rehabilitation of the Over-the-
     Horizon Backscatter Radar Station on Modoc National Forest 
     land in Modoc County, California.

     would prohibit the use of funds to pursue the proposed 2-
     phase 52-home family housing project for 18 military 
     personnel on Kwajalein. The provision would further direct 
     the Secretary of Defense to explore alternative structures, 
     such as those used by U.S. contractors on Kwajalein, that are 
     a fraction of the price and can be used in similar remote 
     locations where construction costs are prohibitively 
     expensive.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of the Army to authorize the construction of at 
     least 26 family housing units that would be available only 
     for military personnel, federal employees, and their 
     dependents. Additionally, if the cost of the project exceeds 
     the authorized amount, the amendment would require the 
     Secretary of the Army to submit a not delegable report to the 
     congressional defense committees detailing the reasons for 
     the cost overrun and specific actions taken to prevent 
     further cost increases on the project. The amendment also 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on options to meet 
     requirements for contractor housing at Kwajalein Atoll 
     without relying on military construction funds, no later than 
     180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. 
     Finally, the amendment would limit the Secretary of the Navy 
     from carrying out the second phase of the project for 
     replacement housing at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, until

       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to certify that the Department of 
     Defense has taken significant steps at military installations 
     in Europe to minimize dependency on energy sourced inside the 
     Russian Federation and to ensure the ability to sustain 
     operations during an energy supply disruption.

       In addition, the conferees direct that the briefing 
     required by the related House Committee Report (under the 
     heading ``Energy Resiliency of Overseas Military 
     Installations'') shall be also provided to the Senate 
     Committee on Armed Services.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Authority to use expiring funds for certain military 
         construction projects
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2801) that 
     would authorize funds that would otherwise expire to be used 
     for the sole purpose of the expansion of a cemetery, in the 
     case of the Army, and for the enhancement of installation 
     security, in the case of the Navy, by purchasing property 
     that is voluntarily offered for sale.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Authorized cost increases
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2803) that 
     would amend section 2853 of title 10, United States Code to 
     limit the amount that the Department of Defense could exceed 
     authorized funding levels on military construction projects 
     to not more than 10 percent.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Clarification of applicability of fair market value 
         consideration in grants of easements on military lands 
         for rights-of-way
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2812) that would 
     clarify section 2668 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     ensure the Secretary of a military department receives fair 
     market value when granting easements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modification of unspecified minor military construction 
         project authority to cover correction of deficiencies 
         that are threats to installation resilience
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2812) that 
     would amend section 2805(a)(2) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to include both safety risks and military mission 
     risks.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Improved process for disposal of Department of Defense 
         surplus real property located overseas
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2819) that would 
     amend section 2687a of title 10, United States Code to 
     establish a petition process for disposal of overseas surplus 
     real property by which a foreign government may request the 
     transfer of surplus real property or improvements under the 
     jurisdiction of the Department of Defense in the foreign 
     country.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the disposal of overseas real 
     property is addressed in bilateral agreements with the host 
     nation. The conferees also note that the Department of 
     Defense has existing statutory authorities, policies, and 
     instructions in place that ensure overseas sites and 
     facilities that are used, operated, and maintained by the 
     Department of Defense are considered for return to the host 
     nation when they are no longer required. The conferees 
     further believe it is important, to the maximum extent 
     possible, for the Department of Defense to recover the 
     residual value of U.S-funded improvements at locations when 
     they are returned to the host nation.
     Land Conveyance, Naval Ship Repair Facility, Guam
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2822) that would 
     direct the Secretary of the Navy to convey, without 
     consideration, certain Navy real property to the Guam 
     Economic Development Authority for the purpose of providing 
     support for ship repair and other military maintenance 
     requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees believe that Guam is a strategic location in 
     the Western Pacific and recognize the Navy has an enduring 
     requirement for the Naval Ship Repair Facility property. This 
     requirement includes support for future Navy and Military 
     Sealift Command ship repair as well as use of the real 
     property to support other Navy missions. However, the 
     conferees are concerned about the current condition of the 
     infrastructure at the Naval Ship Repair Facility property to 
     support ship repair requirements. The conferees believe that 
     as long as the ship repair facilities remain under the 
     jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Navy, the Navy should 
     plan and program resources to invest in the modernization and 
     sustainment of the facilities and infrastructure. In 
     addition, the Secretary of the Navy should ensure that 
     masterplans for the Naval Ship Repair Facility property do 
     not encroach on the ability to provide depot-level ship 
     repair capabilities at the property, to include the potential 
     mooring of a floating dry dock, should that be determined a 
     requirement in the future.
     Removal of certain deed restrictions and reversions 
         associated with the conveyance of property of former 
         Defense Depot Ogden, Utah
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2827) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of the Interior to enter into 
     negotiations with the City of Ogden, Utah and Weber County, 
     Utah, on agreements to remove deed restrictions and 
     reversionary provisions on the remaining property of the 
     former Defense Depot Ogden.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Land Conveyance, Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Rich County, 
         Utah
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2828) that would 
     require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey, without 
     consideration, real property consisting of approximately 80 
     acres, located outside of the boundaries of the Wasatch-Cache 
     National Forest in Rich County, Utah, to the Utah State 
     University Research Foundations for the purpose of permitting 
     the Foundation to use the property for scientific and 
     educational purposes.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Indefinite duration of certain military land withdrawals and 
         reservations and improved management of withdrawn and 
         reserved lands
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2831) that would 
     amend the existing statutory military land withdrawals from 
     Department of the Interior jurisdiction by extending them for 
     an indefinite time period while putting in place a continuous 
     review, coordinated between the Department of Defense and the 
     Department of Interior, and public comment process 
     regarding the resource management plans and military use 
     of such lands.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Temporary segregation from public land laws of property 
         subject to proposed military land withdrawal; temporary 
         use permits and transfers of small parcels of land 
         between Departments of Interior and military departments; 
         more efficient surveying of lands
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2832) that would 
     amend chapter 6 of title 43, United States Code, to allow the 
     Secretary of the Interior to grant permission to the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct military training or testing 
     on land under the jurisdiction of the Department of the 
     Interior for up to 30 days, provided such use would be 
     consistent with the purposes for which the Secretary of the 
     Interior manages the land. In addition, this provision would 
     authorize the transfer of parcels of land smaller than 5,000 
     acres between the Department of Defense and the Department of 
     the Interior. Finally, this provision would permit the use of 
     geographic coordinates for conducting original surveys of 
     land instead of using physical monuments.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limited authority for private sector supervision of military 
         construction projects in event of extensive cost overruns 
         or project delays
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2832) that 
     would amend section 2851(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to allow the Secretary of Defense to arrange for private 
     sector direction or supervision of projects where the Chief 
     of Engineers or the Commander of the Naval Facilities 
     Engineering Command had cost overruns or project delays of 
     more than 5 percent on at least 10 percent of the projects 
     for which either was responsible in the most recent fiscal 
     year.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that cost overruns on major projects 
     have become a problem and that both the Corps of Engineers 
     and Naval Facilities Command need to improve program 
     management to better deliver projects on time and on budget.
     Battleship preservation grant program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2844) that would 
     establish a grant program for the preservation of historic

       The House recedes.

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2854) that would 
     establish Parker's Crossroads Battlefield in the State of 
     Tennessee as an affiliated area of the National Park System, 
     authorize the Secretary of the Interior to provide technical 
     assistance and to enter into cooperative agreements with the 
     management entity, and require the development of a general 
     management plan for the affiliated area.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Private property protection
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2855) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from acquiring land or 
     interests in land by condemnation for the purposes of this 
     subtitle, would require written consent from property owners 
     prior to their property being included in the Shiloh National 
     Military Park, and would prohibit the creation of buffer 
     zones outside of the park.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Technical correction to authority for return of certain lands 
         at Fort Wingate, New Mexico, to original inhabitants

     that would amend Section 2829F(a)(1) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 
     130 Stat. 2734) by changing the reference to a map that shows 
     the final agreement between the Navajo Nation and the Pueblo 
     of Zuni.

       The Senate recedes.
     Report on compliance with runway clear zone requirements
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14005) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
     with the service secretaries, to submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report on Service compliance with 
     Department of Defense (DOD) and relevant service policies 
     regarding DOD runway clear zones.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department has previously 
     reviewed and reported on this subject but has some concerns 
     that should be addressed in an update of that effort. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Service secretaries, to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report not later than 270 
     days after the enactment of this Act on Service compliance 
     with Department of Defense and relevant Service policies

       The Senate recedes.

   Title XXIX--Overseas Contingency Operations Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included $638.1 million for Overseas 
     Contingency Operations military construction for fiscal year 
     2018.
       The conference agreement includes authorization of 
     appropriations of $748.6 million for Overseas Contingency 
     Operations military construction for fiscal year 2018.
       As noted earlier in this report, the agreement recommends a 
     reduction in funding for several projects included in the 
     base budget request in order to transfer them to the Overseas 
     Contingency Operations title of this Act. Therefore, the 
     agreement recommends a commensurate increase in the Overseas 
     Contingency Operations account to support these projects. 
     Specifically, these projects include: $27.325 million for a 
     Guardian Angel Operations Facility at Aviano Air Base, Italy; 
     $25.997 million for a 216 Person Dormitory at Incirlik Air 
     Base, Turkey; $22.4 million to Construct Hydrant System at 
     Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy; $15.0 million for a 
     Consolidated Squadron Operations Facility at Al Udeid Air 
     Base, Qatar; $13.39 million for an Aircraft Parking Apron
