     SEC. 540N. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE PORT CHICAGO 50.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the American people should recognize the role of racial 
     bias during the era in which the prosecution and convictions 
     of the Port Chicago 50 took place for mutiny following the 
     deadliest home-front disaster in World War II, in which 320 
     were killed on July 17, 1944, during a munitions explosion; 
     and
       (2) in light of the well-documented challenges associated 
     with uniformed service by African Americans during this era, 
     the Secretary of the Navy should, as appropriate, recommend 
     executive action in favor of the 49 remaining Sailors with 
     general court-martial convictions and the 207 remaining 
     Sailors with summary court-martial convictions.

     organization, their beneficial ownership and whether they are 
     under FOCI.

     responsibility determinations regarding whether covered 
     contractors and subcontractors may be under foreign 
     ownership, control, or influence and for determining whether

     control, or influence would pose a risk or potential risk to 
     national security or potential compromise because of 
     sensitive data, systems, or processes, such as personally 
     identifiable information, cybersecurity, or national security 
     systems involved with the contract or subcontract; and
       (iii) modification of policies, directives, and practices 
     to provide that an assessment that a covered contractor or 
     subcontractor is under FOCI may be a sufficient basis for a 
     contracting officer to determine that a contractor or 
     subcontractor is not responsible.

     relating to foci.--
       (i) Requirements for contract clauses providing for and

     appropriate Department of Defense official responsible to 
     approve and to take actions relating to award, modification,

     terminate a subcontract due to an assessment by the Defense 
     Counterintelligence and Security Agency, or its successor 
     organization, that a covered contractor or subcontractor 
     under FOCI poses a risk to national security or potential 
     risk of compromise.

     information regarding beneficial ownership and control of any 
     covered contractor or subcontractor on the contract or 
     subcontract.

     commitment to uphold its obligations under the North Atlantic

     campaigns aimed at eroding shared values of the alliance, and

     subject to the United States Munitions List (part 121 of

     Cyprus would advance United States security interests in

     of the Republic of Cyprus on other countries, including 
     countries that pose challenges to United States interests 
     around the world, for defense-related materiel; and

     defense service to Cyprus if the end-user of such defense 
     article or defense service is the Government of the Republic 
     of Cyprus.''.
       (c) Exclusion of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus 
     From Certain Related Regulations.--
       (1) In general.--Subject to subsection (d) and except as 
     provided in paragraph (2), beginning on the date of the

     of the Republic of Cyprus; and
       (B) the end-user of such defense articles or defense 
     services is the Government of the Republic of Cyprus.
       (2) Exception.--This exclusion shall not apply to any 
     denial based upon credible human rights concerns.
       (d) Limitations on the Transfer of Articles on the United 
     States Munitions List to the Republic of Cyprus.--

     exports, or transfers of defense articles on the United 
     States Munitions List to the Republic of Cyprus shall remain

     to cooperate with the United States Government in efforts to 
     implement reforms on anti-money laundering regulations and 
     financial regulatory oversight; and
       (B) the Government of the Republic of Cyprus has made and 
     is continuing to take the steps necessary to deny Russian 
     military vessels access to ports for refueling and servicing.
       (2) Waiver.--The President may waive the limitations 
     contained in this subsection for one fiscal year if the 
     President determines that it is essential to the national 
     security interests of the United States to do so.
       (3) Appropriate congressional committees defined.--In this 
     section, the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
     means--

     Peninsula and to United States allies in the region;
       (2) North Korea's recent missile tests are destabilizing, 
     increase regional tensions, and run counter to the spirit of 
     diplomatic negotiations;

     Korea that could lead to a military confrontation, which 
     would pose extreme risks to--

     diplomatic negotiations call into question North Korea's 
     intentions and commitment to a diplomatic solution; and
       (6) until such time as North Korea no longer poses a threat 
     to the United States or United States allies, the United 
     States should, in concert with such allies, continue to deter 
     North Korea through credible defense and deterrence posture.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) Taiwan is a vital partner of the United States and is 
     critical to a free and open Indo-Pacific region;
       (2) the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) and 
     the ``Six Assurances'' are both cornerstones of United States 
     relations with Taiwan;
       (3) the United States should continue to strengthen defense 
     and security cooperation with Taiwan to support the 
     development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces 
     necessary for Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense 
     capability;
       (4) consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 
     3301 et seq.), the United States should strongly support the 
     acquisition by Taiwan of defense articles and services 
     through foreign military sales, direct commercial sales, and 
     industrial cooperation, with an emphasis on anti-ship, 
     coastal defense, anti-armor, air defense, defensive naval 
     mining, and resilient command and control capabilities that 
     support the asymmetric defense strategy of Taiwan;
       (5) the President and Congress should determine the nature 
     and quantity of such defense articles and services based 
     solely upon their judgment of the needs of Taiwan, as 
     required by the Taiwan Relations Act and in accordance with 
     procedures established by law;
       (6) the United States should continue efforts to improve 
     the predictability of United States arms sales to Taiwan by 
     ensuring timely review of and response to requests of Taiwan 
     for defense articles and services;
       (7) the Secretary of Defense should promote policies 
     concerning exchanges that enhance the security of Taiwan, 
     including--
       (A) opportunities with Taiwan for practical training and 
     military exercises that--
       (i) enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense 
     capability, as described in section 3(a) of the Taiwan 
     Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3302(a)); and
       (ii) emphasize capabilities consistent with the asymmetric 
     defense strategy of Taiwan;
       (B) exchanges between senior defense officials and general 
     officers of the United States and Taiwan, consistent with the 
     Taiwan Travel Act (Public Law 115-135), especially for the 
     purpose of enhancing cooperation on defense planning and 
     improving the interoperability of United States and Taiwan 
     forces; and
       (C) opportunities for exchanges between junior officers and 
     senior enlisted personnel of the United States and Taiwan;
       (8) the United States and Taiwan should expand cooperation 
     in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief;
       (9) the Secretary of Defense should consider options, 
     including exercises and ship visits, as appropriate, to 
     expand the scale and scope of humanitarian assistance and 
     disaster response cooperation with Taiwan and other regional 
     partners so as to improve disaster response planning and 
     preparedness; and
       (10) the Secretary of Defense should continue regular 
     transits of United States Navy vessels through the Taiwan 
     Strait, commend the armed forces of France for their April 6, 
     2019, legal transit of the Taiwan Strait, and encourage 
     allies and partners to follow suit in conducting such 
     transits, in order to demonstrate the commitment of the 
     United States and its allies and partners to fly, sail, and 
     operate anywhere international law allows.

     SEC. 1260F. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON POLICY TOWARD HONG KONG.

       (1) Congress stands unequivocally with the people of Hong 
     Kong as they defend their rights and freedoms and preserve 
     their autonomy against the People's Republic of China;
       (2) the Government of the People's Republic of China 
     should--

     Joint Declaration of 1984 to allow the people of Hong Kong a 
     high degree of autonomy to govern Hong Kong;

       (C) immediately cease and desist in its interference in the

     Autonomous Region in September 2019 to fully withdraw the 
     proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance of 
     Hong Kong is a necessary first step and should be followed by 
     efforts to resolve the remaining demands raised by protestors 
     who represent a broad cross-section of Hong Kong, which are 
     that authorities--
       (A) drop all charges against individuals who have been 
     arrested for participating in political protests;
       (B) retract the proclamation that the protests were riots;
       (C) establish a thorough and independent investigation into 
     police brutality; and
       (D) implement genuine universal suffrage for the election 
     of the Chief Executive and all Legislative Council members of

     of the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong continue to 
     violate fundamental agreements regarding the autonomy of Hong 
     Kong;
       (5) the People's Republic of China should refrain from use 
     of any organization within the military, paramilitary, or law 
     enforcement apparatus of the People's Republic of China to 
     engage in violent suppression in Hong Kong;
       (6) in the event of use of force by the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China against protestors in Hong Kong, 
     Congress will recommend swift action by the United States, 
     including--
       (A) a fundamental reevaluation of the special treatment of 
     Hong Kong under the Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 
     102-383; 106 Stat. 1448) and other United States law, 
     particularly in areas of law in which the People's Republic 
     of China is exploiting Hong Kong to the detriment of United 
     States interests and values; and
       (B) coordinated actions with like-minded countries to 
     impose meaningful costs on the People's Republic of China, 
     including the imposition of sanctions, travel restrictions, 
     and other actions against responsible senior officials in the 
     Chinese Communist Party, the People's Liberation Army, and 
     the People's Armed Police; and
       (7) if at any point the Government of Hong Kong implements 
     legislation that affects, directly or indirectly, the 
     interests of the United States with respect to an agreement 
     the United States maintains with Hong Kong, including a 
     future reconsideration of amendments to the Fugitive 
     Offenders Ordinance of Hong Kong, the United States should 
     conduct a full review of all relevant agreements between the 
     United States and Hong Kong and make necessary adjustments to 
     those agreements to safeguard United States interests.

     SEC. 1260G. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ENHANCING DEFENSE AND 
                   SECURITY COOPERATION WITH THE REPUBLIC OF

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States and the Republic of Singapore have 
     built a strong, enduring, and forward-looking strategic

     recognized in the 2005 Strategic Framework Agreement between

     Partnership in Defense and Security, plays an important role 
     in the global network of strategic partnerships, especially 
     in promoting maritime security and countering terrorism;
       (4) the United States values the Republic of Singapore's 
     provision of access to its military facilities, which 
     supports the continued security presence of the United States 
     in Southeast Asia and across the Indo-Pacific region;
       (5) the United States should continue to welcome the 
     presence of the military forces of the Republic of Singapore 
     in the United States for exercises and training, and should 
     consider opportunities to expand such activities at 
     additional locations in the United States, as appropriate; 
     and
       (6) as the United States and the Republic of Singapore have 
     renewed the 1990 Memorandum of Understanding Regarding the 
     United States Use of Facilities in Singapore, the United 
     States should--
       (A) continue to enhance defense and security cooperation 
     with the Republic of Singapore to promote peace and stability 
     in the Indo-Pacific region based on common interests and 
     shared values;

[[Page H9532]]

     17, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of 
     the enactment of this Act); and
       (B) based on a threshold, to be determined by the 
     Secretary, based on an assessment of whether the person's 
     position would give the person an opportunity to control the 
     use of a satellite described in section 1261(c)(1) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 and 
     exported, reexported, or transferred in country to the

     include the following:
       (1) An evaluation of whether satellites described in

     for Fiscal Year 2013 have been exported, reexported, or 
     transferred in-country, directly or indirectly, to entities 
     described in subsection (b).
       (2) An examination of the effect on national security of 
     the potential export, reexport, or in-country transfer of 
     satellites in compliance with section 1261(c) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 in 
     circumstances in which the services, bandwidth, or functions 
     of the satellites could subsequently be leased or sold to, or 
     otherwise used by, an entity described in subsection (b).
       (3) An examination of the effect on national security of 
     not limiting the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of 
     such satellites to entities described in subsection (b).
       (4) Recommendations for, and an assessment of the 
     effectiveness of, a licensing condition that would prohibit 
     or limit the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of such 
     satellites to, or the use of such satellites by, entities 
     described in subsection (b).
       (5) An assessment, based on realistic and justifiable 
     assumptions and forecasts, of the economic implications of 
     and potential harm caused by a licensing condition described 
     in paragraph (4) on the United States industries that develop 
     or produce satellites and commercial telecommunications 
     equipment that do not have direct national security ties.
       (6) An evaluation of the resources necessary to ensure the

     country transfer of such satellites to such entities; or
       (ii) the ultimate end uses and end-users of such 
     satellites; and
       (B) when evaluating such a decision--
       (i) to have full knowledge of the potential end-user of the 
     satellite and the current beneficial owner of the entity; and
       (ii) to be able to determine whether issuing the license 
     would be inconsistent with the goal of preventing entities 
     described in subsection (b) from accessing or using such 
     satellites.
       (d) Form.--The report required by subsection (a) shall be 
     submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified

     Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) and regulations 
     promulgated by the Secretary or the National Indian Gaming 
     Commission under that Act.
       (6) Definitions.--For the purposes of this subsection:
       (A) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
     of the Interior.
       (B) Tribe.--The term ``Tribe'' means the Santa Ynez Band of 
     Chumash Mission Indians.

     SEC. 2869. LANDS TO BE TAKEN INTO TRUST AS PART OF THE 
                   RESERVATION OF THE LYTTON RANCHERIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Lytton Rancheria of California is a federally 
     recognized Indian tribe that lost its homeland after its 
     relationship to the United States was unjustly and unlawfully 
     terminated in 1958. The Tribe was restored to Federal 
     recognition in 1991, but the conditions of its restoration 
     have prevented it from regaining a homeland on its original 
     lands.
       (2) Congress needs to take action to reverse historic 
     injustices that befell the Tribe and that have prevented it 
     from regaining a viable homeland for its people.
       (3) Prior to European contact there were as many as 350,000 
     Indians living in what is now the State of California. By the 
     turn of the 19th century, that number had been reduced to 
     approximately 15,000 individuals, many of them homeless and 
     living in scattered bands and communities.
       (4) The Lytton Rancheria's original homeland was purchased 
     by the United States in 1926 pursuant to congressional 
     authority designed to remedy the unique tragedy that befell 
     the Indians of California and provide them with reservations 
     called Rancherias to be held in trust by the United States.
       (5) After the Lytton Rancheria lands were purchased by the 
     United States, the Tribe settled on the land and sustained 
     itself for several decades by farming and ranching.
       (6) By the mid-1950s, Federal Indian policy had shifted 
     back towards a policy of terminating the Federal relationship 
     with Indian tribes. In 1958, Congress enacted the Rancheria 
     Act of 1958 (72 Stat. 619), which slated 41 Rancherias in 
     California, including the Lytton Rancheria, for termination 
     after certain conditions were met.
       (7) On August 1, 1961, the Federal Government terminated 
     its relationship with the Lytton Rancheria. This termination 
     was illegal because the conditions for termination under the 
     Rancheria Act had never been met. After termination was 
     implemented, the Tribe lost its lands and was left without 
     any means of supporting itself.
       (8) In 1987, the Tribe joined three other tribes in a 
     lawsuit against the United States challenging the illegal 
     termination of their Rancherias. A Stipulated Judgment in the 
     case, Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians of the Sugar Bowl 
     Rancheria v. United States, No. C-86-3660 (N.D.Cal. March 22, 
     1991), restored the Lytton Rancheria to its status as a 
     federally recognized Indian tribe.
       (9) The Stipulated Judgment provides that the Lytton 
     Rancheria would have the ``individual and collective status 
     and rights'' which it had prior to its termination and 
     expressly contemplated the acquisition of trust lands for the 
     Lytton Rancheria.
       (10) The Stipulated Judgment contains provisions, included 
     at the request of the local county governments and 
     neighboring landowners, that prohibit the Lytton Rancheria 
     from exercising its full Federal rights on its original 
     homeland in the Alexander Valley.
       (11) In 2000, approximately 9.5 acres of land in San Pablo, 
     California, was placed in trust status for the Lytton 
     Rancheria for economic development purposes.
       (12) The Tribe has since acquired, from willing sellers at 
     fair market value, property in Sonoma County near the Tribe's 
     historic Rancheria. This property, which the Tribe holds in 
     fee status, is suitable for a new homeland for the Tribe.
       (13) On a portion of the land to be taken into trust, which 
     portion totals approximately 124.12 acres, the Tribe plans to 
     build housing for its members and governmental and community 
     facilities.
       (14) A portion of the land to be taken into trust is being 
     used for viniculture, and the Tribe intends to develop more 
     of the lands to be taken into trust for viniculture. The 
     Tribe's investment in the ongoing viniculture operation has 
     reinvigorated the vineyards, which are producing high-quality 
     wines. The Tribe is operating its vineyards on a sustainable 
     basis and is working toward certification of sustainability.
       (15) No gaming shall be conducted on the lands to be taken 
     into trust by this section.
       (16) No gaming shall be conducted on any lands taken into 
     trust on behalf of the Tribe in Sonoma County after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act.
       (17) By directing that these lands be taken into trust, the 
     United States will ensure that the Lytton Rancheria will 
     finally have a permanently protected homeland on which the 
     Tribe can once again live communally and plan for future 
     generations. This action is necessary to fully restore the 
     Tribe to the status it had before it was wrongfully 
     terminated in 1961.
       (18) The Tribe and County of Sonoma have entered into a 
     Memorandum of Agreement as amended in 2018 in which the 
     County agrees to the lands in the County being taken into 
     trust for the benefit of the Tribe in consideration for 
     commitments made by the Tribe.
       (b) Definitions.--For the purpose of this section, the 
     following definitions apply:
       (1) County.--The term ``County'' means Sonoma County, 
     California.
       (2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary

       (1) In general.--The land owned by the Tribe and generally 
     depicted on the map titled ``Lytton Fee Owned Property to be 
     Taken into Trust'' and dated May 1, 2015, is hereby taken 
     into trust for the benefit of the Tribe, subject to valid 
     existing rights, contracts, and management agreements related 
     to easements and rights-of-way.
       (2) Lands to be made part of the reservation.--Lands taken 
     into trust under paragraph (1) shall be part of the Tribe's 
     reservation and shall be administered in accordance with the 
     laws and regulations generally applicable to property held in 
     trust by the United States for an Indian tribe.
       (d) Gaming.--
       (1) Lands taken into trust under this section.--Lands taken 
     into trust for the benefit of the Tribe under subsection (c) 
     shall not be eligible for gaming under the Indian Gaming 
     Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.).
       (2) Other lands taken into trust.--Lands taken into trust 
     for the benefit of the Tribe in Sonoma County after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act shall not be eligible for gaming 
     under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et 
     seq.).
       (e) Applicability of Certain Law.--Notwithstanding any 
     other provision of law, the Memorandum of Agreement entered 
     into by the Tribe and the County concerning taking land in 
     the County into trust for the benefit of the Tribe, which was 
     approved by the County Board of Supervisors on March 10, 
     2015, and any addenda and supplement or amendment thereto, is 
     not subject to review or approval of the Secretary in order 
     to be effective, including review or approval under section 
     2103 of the Revised Statutes (25 U.S.C. 81).

     SEC. 2870. LITTLE SHELL TRIBE OF CHIPPEWA INDIANS OF MONTANA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians is a 
     political successor to signatories of the Pembina Treaty of 
     1863, under which a large area of land in the State of North 
     Dakota was ceded to the United States;
       (2) the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa of North Dakota 
     and the Chippewa-Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's Reservation of 
     Montana, which also are political successors to the 
     signatories of the Pembina Treaty of 1863, have been 
     recognized by the Federal Government as distinct Indian 
     tribes;
       (3) the members of the Little Shell Tribe continue to live 
     in the State of Montana, as their ancestors have for more 
     than 100 years since ceding land in the State of North Dakota 
     as described in paragraph (1);
       (4) in the 1930s and 1940s, the Tribe repeatedly petitioned 
     the Federal Government for reorganization under the Act of 
     June 18, 1934 (25 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) (commonly known as the 
     ``Indian Reorganization Act'');
       (5) Federal agents who visited the Tribe and Commissioner 
     of Indian Affairs John Collier attested to the responsibility 
     of the Federal Government for the Tribe and members of the 
     Tribe, concluding that members of the Tribe are eligible for, 
     and should be provided with, trust land, making the Tribe 
     eligible for reorganization under the Act of June 18, 1934 
     (25 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) (commonly known as the ``Indian 
     Reorganization Act'');

[[Page H9587]]

       (6) due to a lack of Federal appropriations during the 
     Depression, the Bureau of Indian Affairs lacked adequate 
     financial resources to purchase land for the Tribe, and the 
     members of the Tribe were denied the opportunity to 
     reorganize;
       (7) in spite of the failure of the Federal Government to 
     appropriate adequate funding to secure land for the Tribe as 
     required for reorganization under the Act of June 18, 1934 
     (25 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) (commonly known as the ``Indian 
     Reorganization Act''), the Tribe continued to exist as a 
     separate community, with leaders exhibiting clear political 
     authority;
       (8) the Tribe, together with the Turtle Mountain Band of 
     Chippewa of North Dakota and the Chippewa-Cree Tribe of the 
     Rocky Boy's Reservation of Montana, filed 2 law suits under 
     the Act of August 13, 1946 (60 Stat. 1049) (commonly known as 
     the ``Indian Claims Commission Act''), to petition for 
     additional compensation for land ceded to the United States 
     under the Pembina Treaty of 1863 and the McCumber Agreement 
     of 1892;
       (9) in 1971 and 1982, pursuant to Acts of Congress, the 
     tribes received awards for the claims described in paragraph 
     (8);
       (10) in 1978, the Tribe submitted to the Bureau of Indian 
     Affairs a petition for Federal recognition, which is still 
     pending as of the date of enactment of this Act; and
       (11) the Federal Government, the State of Montana, and the 
     other federally recognized Indian tribes of the State have 
     had continuous dealings with the recognized political leaders 
     of the Tribe since the 1930s.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Member.--The term ``member'' means an individual who is 
     enrolled in the Tribe pursuant to subsection (f).
       (2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
     of the Interior.
       (3) Tribe.--The term ``Tribe'' means the Little Shell Tribe 
     of Chippewa Indians of Montana.
       (c) Federal Recognition.--
       (1) In general.--Federal recognition is extended to the 
     Tribe.
       (2) Effect of federal laws.--Except as otherwise provided 
     in this section, all Federal laws (including regulations) of 
     general application to Indians and Indian tribes, including 
     the Act of June 18, 1934 (25 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) (commonly 
     known as the ``Indian Reorganization Act''), shall apply to 
     the Tribe and members.
       (d) Federal Services and Benefits.--
       (1) In general.--Beginning on the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Tribe and each member shall be eligible for all 
     services and benefits provided by the United States to 
     Indians and federally recognized Indian tribes, without 
     regard to--
       (A) the existence of a reservation for the Tribe; or
       (B) the location of the residence of any member on or near 
     an Indian reservation.
       (2) Service area.--For purposes of the delivery of services 
     and benefits to members, the service area of the Tribe shall 
     be considered to be the area comprised of Blaine, Cascade, 
     Glacier, and Hill Counties in the State of Montana.
       (e) Reaffirmation of Rights.--
       (1) In general.--Nothing in this section diminishes any 
     right or privilege of the Tribe or any member that existed 
     before the date of enactment of this Act.
       (2) Claims of tribe.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
     section, nothing in this section alters or affects any legal 
     or equitable claim of the Tribe to enforce any right or 
     privilege reserved by, or granted to, the Tribe that was 
     wrongfully denied to, or taken from, the Tribe before the 
     date of enactment of this Act.
       (f) Membership Roll.--
       (1) In general.--As a condition of receiving recognition, 
     services, and benefits pursuant to this section, the Tribe 
     shall submit to the Secretary, by not later than 18 months 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, a membership roll 
     consisting of the name of each individual enrolled as a 
     member of the Tribe.
       (2) Determination of membership.--The qualifications for 
     inclusion on the membership roll of the Tribe shall be 
     determined in accordance with sections 1 through 3 of article 
     5 of the constitution of the Tribe dated September 10, 1977 
     (including amendments to the constitution).
       (3) Maintenance of roll.--The Tribe shall maintain the 
     membership roll under this subsection.
       (g) Acquisition of Land.--
       (1) Homeland.--The Secretary shall acquire, for the benefit 
     of the Tribe, trust title to 200 acres of land within the

     land for the benefit of the Tribe pursuant to section 5 of

     SEC. 5323. ENCOURAGEMENT OF COOPERATIVE ACTIONS TO DETECT AND 
                   COUNTER FOREIGN INFLUENCE OPERATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Russian Federation, through military intelligence 
     units, also known as the ``GRU'', and Kremlin-linked troll 
     organizations often referred to as the ``Internet Research 
     Agency'', deploy information warfare operations against the 
     United States, its allies and partners, with the goal of 
     advancing the strategic interests of the Russian Federation.
       (2) One line of effort deployed as part of these 
     information warfare operations is the weaponization of social 
     media platforms with the goals of intensifying societal 
     tensions, undermining trust in governmental institutions 
     within the United States, its allies and partners in the 
     West, and generally sowing division, fear, and confusion.
       (3) These information warfare operations are a threat to 
     the national security of the United States and that of the 
     allies and partners of the United States. As former Director 
     of National Intelligence Dan Coats stated, ``These actions 
     are persistent, they are pervasive and they are meant to 
     undermine America's democracy.''.
       (4) These information warfare operations continue to evolve 
     and increase in sophistication.
       (5) Other foreign adversaries and hostile non-state actors 
     are increasingly adopting similar tactics of deploying 
     information warfare operations against the West, such as 
     recent state-backed operations from China around the Hong 
     Kong protests identified by social media companies.
       (6) Technological advances, including artificial 
     intelligence, will only make it more difficult in the future 
     to detect fraudulent accounts, deceptive material posted on 
     social media, and malign behavior on social media platforms.
       (7) Because these information warfare operations are 
     deployed within and across private social media platforms, 
     the companies that own these platforms have a responsibility 
     to detect and facilitate the removal or neutralization of 
     foreign adversary networks operating clandestinely on their 
     platforms.
       (8) The social media companies are inherently 
     technologically sophisticated and adept at rapidly analyzing 
     large amounts of data and developing software-based solutions 
     to diverse and ever-changing challenges on their platforms, 
     which makes them well-equipped to address the threat 
     occurring on their platforms.
       (9) Independent analyses confirmed Kremlin-linked threat 
     networks, based on data provided by several social media 
     companies to the Select Committee on Intelligence of the 
     Senate, thereby demonstrating that it is possible to discern 
     both broad patterns of cross-platform information warfare 
     operations and specific fraudulent behavior on social media 
     platforms.
       (10) General Paul Nakasone, Director of the National 
     Security Agency, emphasized the importance of these 
     independent analyses to the planning and conducting of 
     military cyber operations to frustrate Kremlin-linked 
     information warfare operations against the 2018 mid-term 
     elections. General Nakasone stated that the reports ``were 
     very, very helpful in terms of being able to understand 
     exactly what our adversary was trying to do to build dissent 
     within our nation.''.
       (11) Institutionalizing ongoing robust, independent, and 
     vigorous analysis of data related to foreign threat networks 
     within and across social media platforms will help counter 
     ongoing information warfare operations against the United 
     States, its allies, and its partners.
       (12) Archiving and disclosing to the public the results of 
     these analyses by the social media companies and trusted 
     third-party experts in a transparent manner will serve to 
     demonstrate that the social media companies are detecting and 
     removing foreign malign activities from their platforms while 
     protecting the privacy of the people of the United States and 
     will build public understanding of the scale and scope of 
     these foreign threats to our democracy, since exposure is one 
     of the most effective means to build resilience.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the social media companies should cooperate among 
     themselves and with independent organizations and researchers 
     on a sustained and regular basis to share and analyze data 
     and indicators relevant to foreign information warfare 
     operations within and across their platforms in order to 
     detect and counter foreign information warfare operations 
     that threaten the national security of the United States and 
     its allies and partners;
       (2) information from law enforcement and the intelligence 
     community is also important in assisting efforts by these 
     social media companies to identify foreign information 
     warfare operations;
       (3) these analytic efforts should be organized in such a 
     fashion as to meet the highest standards of ethics, 
     confidentiality, and privacy protection of the people of the 
     United States, while

[[Page H9688]]

     still allowing timely research access to relevant data;
       (4) these analytic efforts should be undertaken as soon as 
     possible to facilitate countering ongoing state or state-
     backed foreign information warfare operations and to aid in 
     preparations for the United States Presidential and 
     congressional elections in 2020 and beyond;
       (5) the structure and operations of social media companies 
     make them well positioned to work with independent 
     organizations and researchers to address foreign adversary 
     threat networks within and across their platforms, and these 
     efforts could be conducted without direct Government 
     involvement, direction, or regulation; and
       (6) if the social media industry fails to take sufficient 
     action to address foreign adversary threat networks operating 
     within or across their platforms, Congress would have to 
     consider additional safeguards for ensuring that this threat 
     is effectively mitigated.
       (c) Authority to Facilitate Establishment of Social Media 
     Data and Threat Analysis Center.--
       (1) Authority.--The Director of National Intelligence, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of Defense, may facilitate,

     Vladimir Putin, including their nature, location, manner of 
     acquisition, value, and publicly named owner (if other than 
     Vladimir Putin);

     United States to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran, 
     Hizballah, and other Iranian-backed forces from establishing 
     a strong and enduring presence in Syria that can be used to 
     project power in the region and threaten the United States 
     and its allies, including Israel.
       (b) Report.--
       (1) Report required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National

     by President Bashar al-Assad;

     sustain and strengthen Kurdish forces in Syria may undermine 
     the influence of Iran and Iranian-backed forces in Syria;
       (vi) how Iran and Iranian-backed forces seek to enhance the 
     long-term influence of such entities in Syria through non-
     military means such as purchasing strategic real estate in

     securing loyalty from Sunni tribes in exchange for material

     language departments at Syrian universities;
       (vii) whether the prominent role of Iran in Syria, 
     including the influence of Iran over government institutions, 
     may increase the likelihood of the reconstitution of the 
     Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in Syria; and
       (viii) the provision of goods, services, or technology

     influence of Iran, threatening Israel from a more proximate

     military infrastructure, and securing a land bridge to 
     connect Iran through Iraq and Syria to the stronghold of 
     Hizballah in southern Lebanon; and
       (iii) the foreign and domestic supply chains that 
     significantly facilitate, support, or otherwise aid

     facilities, including the geographic distribution of such 
     foreign and domestic supply chains.
       (C) A description of--

     Hizballah and to establish a military presence in Syria has 
     led to direct and repeated confrontations with Israel;

     Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (50 U.S.C. 
     3306(a)), the recent practice of the intelligence community 
     has been to release to the public--
       (A) around the date on which the President submits to 
     Congress a budget for a fiscal year pursuant to section 1105 
     of title 31, United States Code, the ``top-line'' amount of 
     total funding requested for the National Intelligence Program 
     for such fiscal year; and

     the National Counterterrorism Center is responsible for 
     producing an annual National Counterterrorism Budget report, 
     which examines the alignment of intelligence and other 
     resources in the applicable fiscal year budget with the 
     counterterrorism goals and areas of focus in the National 
     Strategy for Counterterrorism.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) despite the difficulty of compiling and releasing to 
     the public comprehensive information on the resource 
     commitments of the United States to counterterrorism 
     activities and programs, including with respect to such 
     activities and programs of the intelligence community, the 
     United States Government could take additional steps to 
     enhance the understanding of the public with respect to such 
     resource commitments, in a manner consistent with the 
     protection of intelligence sources and methods and other 
     national security interests; and
       (2) the United States Government should release to the 
     public as much information as possible regarding the funding 
     of counterterrorism activities and programs, including 
     activities and programs of the intelligence community, in a 
     manner consistent with the protection of intelligence sources 
     and methods and other national security interests.
       (c) Briefing on Public Release of Information.--
       (1) Requirement.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, and not later than 90 days after 
     the beginning of each fiscal year thereafter, the President 
     shall ensure that the congressional intelligence committees 
     receive a briefing from appropriate personnel of the United 
     States Government on the feasibility of releasing to the 
     public additional information relating to counterterrorism 
     efforts of the intelligence community.
       (2) Elements.--Each briefing required by paragraph (1) 
     shall include a discussion of the feasibility of--
       (A) subject to paragraph (3), releasing to the public the 
     National Counterterrorism Budget report described in 
     subsection (a)(2) for the prior fiscal year; and
       (B) declassifying other reports, documents, or activities 
     of the intelligence community relating to counterterrorism 
     and releasing such information to the public in a manner 
     consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and 
     methods and other national security interests.
       (3) Release of national counterterrorism budget report.--
     The President may satisfy the requirement under paragraph 
     (2)(A) during a fiscal year by, not later than 90 days after 
     the beginning of the fiscal year, releasing to the public the 
     National Counterterrorism Budget report (with any redactions 
     the Director determines necessary to protect intelligence 
     sources and methods and other national security interests) 
     for the prior fiscal year.

     Chinese individuals worldwide have a duty to support the 
     People's Republic of China; and

     should be vetted through the Council to ensure 
     standardization, portability, and reciprocity in security 
     clearances across the Federal Government.
       (b) Accountability Plans and Reports.--
       (1) Plans.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Council shall submit to the

     shall include notes of any required changes in investigative 
     and adjudicative standards or resources.
       (B) A plan to consolidate the conduct of background 
     investigations associated with the processing for security

     Security Executive Agent appropriately supports the 
     adjudicative guidelines under Security Executive Agent 
     Directive 4 (known as the ``National Security Adjudicative 
     Guidelines''). Such review shall include identification of 
     whether any such information currently collected is 
     unnecessary to support the adjudicative guidelines.

[[Page H9709]]

       (2) An assessment of whether such Questionnaire, Standards, 
     and guidelines should be revised to account for the prospect 
     of a holder of a security clearance becoming an insider 
     threat.
       (3) Recommendations to improve the background investigation 
     process by--
       (A) simplifying the Questionnaire for National Security 
     Positions (Standard Form 86) and increasing customer support 
     to applicants completing such Questionnaire;
       (B) using remote techniques and centralized locations to 
     support or replace field investigation work;
       (C) using secure and reliable digitization of information 
     obtained during the clearance process;
       (D) building the capacity of the background investigation 
     workforce; and

     vetting techniques in all appropriate circumstances.
       (b) Policy, Strategy, and Implementation.--Not later than 
     180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Security Executive Agent shall, in coordination with the 
     members of the Council, establish the following:
       (1) A policy and implementation plan for the issuance of 
     interim security clearances.
       (2) A policy and implementation plan to ensure contractors 
     are treated consistently in the security clearance process 
     across agencies and departments of the United States as 
     compared to employees of such agencies and departments. Such 
     policy shall address--
       (A) prioritization of processing security clearances based 
     on the mission the contractors will be performing;
       (B) standardization in the forms that agencies issue to 
     initiate the process for a security clearance;
       (C) digitization of background investigation-related forms;
       (D) use of the polygraph;
       (E) the application of the adjudicative guidelines under 
     Security Executive Agent Directive 4 (known as the ``National 
     Security Adjudicative Guidelines'');
       (F) reciprocal recognition of clearances across agencies 
     and departments of the United States, regardless of status of 
     periodic reinvestigation;
       (G) tracking of clearance files as individuals move from 
     employment with an agency or department of the United States 
     to employment in the private sector;
       (H) collection of timelines for movement of contractors 
     across agencies and departments;
       (I) reporting on security incidents and job performance, 
     consistent with section 552a of title 5, United States Code 
     (commonly known as the ``Privacy Act of 1974''), that may 
     affect the ability to hold a security clearance;
       (J) any recommended changes to the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulations (FAR) necessary to ensure that information 
     affecting contractor clearances or suitability is 
     appropriately and expeditiously shared between and among 
     agencies and contractors; and
       (K) portability of contractor security clearances between 
     or among contracts at the same agency and between or among 
     contracts at different agencies that require the same level 
     of clearance.
       (3) A strategy and implementation plan that--
       (A) provides for periodic reinvestigations as part of a 
     security clearance determination only on an as-needed, risk-
     based basis;
       (B) includes actions to assess the extent to which 
     automated records checks and other continuous vetting methods 
     may be used to expedite or focus reinvestigations; and
       (C) provides an exception to the requirement under 
     subparagraph (A) for certain populations if the Security 
     Executive Agent--
       (i) determines such populations require reinvestigations at 
     regular intervals; and
       (ii) provides written justification to the appropriate 
     congressional committees for any such determination.
       (4) A policy and implementation plan for agencies and 
     departments of the United States, as a part of the security 
     clearance process, to accept automated records checks 
     generated pursuant to a security clearance applicant's 
     employment with a prior employer.
       (5) A policy for the use of certain background information 
     on individuals collected by the private sector for background 
     investigation purposes.
       (6) Uniform standards for agency continuous vetting 
     programs to ensure quality and reciprocity in accepting 
     enrollment in a continuous vetting program as a substitute 
     for a periodic investigation for continued access to 
     classified information.

     compliance within this provision.
       (2) Notice.--If the Council uses the authority provided by 
     paragraph (1) to use metrics as described in such paragraph, 
     the Council shall, not later than 30 days after communicating 
     such metrics to departments and agencies, notify the 
     appropriate congressional committees that it is using such 
     authority.
       (d) Plan.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Council shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees and make available to

[[Page H9710]]

     Agent and the Suitability and Credentialing Executive Agent, 
     in coordination with the other members of the Council, shall 
     jointly submit to the appropriate congressional committees 
     and make available to appropriate industry partners a report 
     regarding the advisability and the risks, benefits, and costs 
     to the Government and to industry of consolidating to not 
     more than three tiers for positions of trust and security 
     clearances.

     SEC. 6607. REPORT ON CLEARANCE IN PERSON CONCEPT.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that to 
     reflect the greater mobility of the modern workforce, 
     alternative methodologies merit analysis to allow greater 
     flexibility for individuals moving in and out of positions 
     that require access to classified information, while still 
     preserving security.
       (b) Report Required.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, the Security Executive Agent 
     shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and 
     make available to appropriate industry partners a report that 
     describes the requirements, feasibility, and advisability of 
     implementing a clearance in person concept described in 
     subsection (c).
       (c) Clearance in Person Concept.--The clearance in person 
     concept--
       (1) permits an individual who once held a security 
     clearance to maintain his or her eligibility for access to 
     classified information, networks, and facilities for up to 3 
     years after the individual's eligibility for access to 
     classified information would otherwise lapse; and
       (2) recognizes, unless otherwise directed by the Security 
     Executive Agent, an individual's security clearance and 
     background investigation as current, regardless of employment 
     status, contingent on enrollment in a continuous vetting 
     program.
       (d) Contents.--The report required under subsection (b) 
     shall address--
       (1) requirements for an individual to voluntarily remain in 
     a continuous vetting program validated by the Security 
     Executive Agent even if the individual is not in a position

     SEC. 6608. REPORTS ON RECIPROCITY FOR SECURITY CLEARANCES 
                   INSIDE OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES.

       (a) Reports to Security Executive Agent.--The head of each 
     Federal department or agency shall submit an annual report to 
     the Security Executive Agent that, with respect to the period 
     covered by the report--
       (1) identifies the number of individuals whose security 
     clearances took more than 2 weeks for reciprocity recognition 
     after such individuals move to another part of such 
     department or agency; and
       (2) breaks out the information described in paragraph (1) 
     by type of clearance and the reasons for any delays.
       (b) Annual Report.--Not less frequently than once each 
     year, the Security Executive Agent shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees and make available to 
     industry partners a report that summarizes the information

     SEC. 6609. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY REPORTS ON SECURITY 
                   CLEARANCES.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) despite sustained efforts by Congress and the executive 
     branch, an unacceptable backlog in processing and 
     adjudicating security clearances persists, both within 
     elements of the intelligence community and in other 
     departments of the Federal Government, with some processing 
     times exceeding a year or even more;
       (2) the protracted clearance timetable threatens the 
     ability of elements of the intelligence community to hire and 
     retain highly qualified individuals, and thus to fulfill the 
     missions of such elements;
       (3) the prospect of a lengthy clearance process deters some 
     such individuals from seeking employment with the 
     intelligence community in the first place, and, when faced 
     with a long wait time, those with conditional offers of 
     employment may opt to discontinue the security clearance 
     process and pursue different opportunities;
       (4) now more than ever, therefore, the broken security 
     clearance process badly needs fundamental reform; and
       (5) in the meantime, to ensure the ability of elements of 
     the intelligence community to hire and retain highly 
     qualified personnel, elements should consider, to the extent 
     possible and consistent with national security, permitting 
     new employees to enter on duty immediately or nearly so, and 
     to perform, on a temporary basis pending final adjudication 
     of their security clearances, work that either does not 
     require a security clearance or requires only a low-level 
     interim clearance.
       (b) Reports Required.--Section 506H of the National 
     Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3104) is amended--
       (1) in subsection (a)(1)--
       (A) in subparagraph (A)(ii), by adding ``and'' at the end;
       (B) in subparagraph (B)(ii), by striking ``; and'' and 
     inserting a period; and

     appropriate, existing sanctions for human trafficking 
     authorized under section 111 of the Trafficking Victims 
     Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7108);
       (2) the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the 
     Department of the Treasury should continue--
       (A) to monitor reporting required under subchapter II of 
     chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code (commonly known as 
     the ``Bank Secrecy Act'') and to update advisories, as 
     warranted;
       (B) to periodically review its advisories to provide 
     covered financial institutions, as appropriate, with a list 
     of new ``red flags'' for identifying activities of concern, 
     particularly human trafficking;
       (C) to encourage entities covered by the advisories 
     described in subparagraph (B) to incorporate relevant 
     elements provided in the advisories into their current 
     transaction and account monitoring systems or in policies, 
     procedures, and training on human trafficking to enable 
     financial institutions to maintain ongoing efforts to examine 
     transactions and accounts;
       (D) to use geographic targeting orders, as appropriate, to 
     impose additional reporting and recordkeeping requirements 
     under section 5326(a) of title 31, United States Code, to 
     carry out the purposes of, and prevent evasions of, the Bank 
     Secrecy Act; and
       (E) to utilize the Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group and 
     other relevant entities to identify opportunities for 
     nongovernmental organizations to share relevant actionable 
     information on human traffickers' use of the financial sector 
     for nefarious purposes;
       (3) Federal banking regulators, the Department of the 
     Treasury, relevant law enforcement agencies, and the Human 
     Smuggling and Trafficking Center, in partnership with 
     representatives from the United States financial community, 
     should adopt regular forms of sharing information to disrupt 
     human trafficking, including developing protocols and 
     procedures to share actionable information between and among 
     covered institutions, law enforcement, and the United States 
     intelligence community;
       (4) training frontline bank and money service business 
     employees, school teachers, law enforcement officers, foreign 
     service officers, counselors, and the general public is an 
     important factor in identifying trafficking victims;

     training by the BEST Employers Alliance, and similar efforts 
     by industry, human rights, and nongovernmental organizations 
     focused on human trafficking provide good examples of current 
     efforts to educate employees of critical sectors with respect 
     to how to save victims and disrupt trafficking networks;
       (6) the President should intensify diplomatic efforts, 
     bilaterally and in appropriate international fora such as the 
     United Nations, to develop and implement a coordinated, 
     consistent, multilateral strategy for addressing the 
     international financial networks supporting human 
     trafficking; and
       (7) in deliberations between the United States Government 
     and any foreign country, including through participation in 
     the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, regarding 
     money laundering, corruption, and transnational crimes, the 
     United States Government should--
       (A) encourage cooperation by foreign governments and 
     relevant international fora in identifying the extent to 
     which the proceeds from human trafficking are being used to 
     facilitate terrorist financing, corruption, or other illicit 
     financial crimes;
       (B) encourage cooperation by foreign governments and 
     relevant international fora in identifying the nexus between

       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 House to the bill (S. 1790), to authorize 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2020 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 House amendment struck all of the Senate bill after the 
     enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The Senate recedes from its disagreement to the amendment 
     of the House with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     Senate bill and the House amendment. The differences between 
     the Senate bill, the House 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 2020 was $741.9 billion. Of this amount, $642.5 
     billion was requested for base Department of Defense 
     programs, $75.9 billion was requested for overseas 
     contingency operations, $23.2 billion was requested 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 conference agreement would authorize $729.9 billion in 
     fiscal year 2020, including $635.0 billion for base 
     Department of Defense programs, $71.5 billion for overseas 
     contingency operations, $23.1 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 
     2020 defense programs.
     Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
       The Senate bill 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 amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1006).
       The House recedes.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          Title I--Procurement


                              BUDGET ITEMS

     Columbia-class submarine advance procurement
       The budget request included $1.7 billion in line item 1 of 
     Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for Columbia-class 
     submarine advance procurement.
       The House amendment would authorize an increase of $125.0 
     million above the request.
       The Senate bill would authorize an increase of $125.0 
     million above the request.
       The agreement authorizes an increase of $123.0 million 
     above the request.
       The conferees' intent in authorizing additional funds for 
     submarine industrial base expansion is to ensure second- and 
     third-tier contractors are able to meet increased production 
     requirements.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to notify 
     the congressional defense committees within 30 days of 
     obligating funds provided for submarine industrial base 
     expansion 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 expanding the capabilities of 
     the second- and third-tier contractors in the submarine 
     industrial base should lead to greater cost savings and 
     improved efficiency as production increases to meet the 
     Columbia-class schedule and higher requirement for Virginia-
     class attack submarines in the Navy's latest Force Structure 
     Assessment.
     Virginia-class submarine procurement and advance procurement
       The budget request included $7.2 billion in line number 3 
     of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) for Virginia-class 
     submarine procurement and $2.8 billion in line number 4 of 
     SCN for Virginia-class submarine advance procurement.
       The House amendment would authorize a decrease of $550.0 
     million below the request in line number 3 of SCN and the 
     funding level of the request in line number 4 of SCN.
       The Senate bill would authorize a decrease of $2.5 billion 
     below the request in line number 3 of SCN and an increase of 
     $1.5 billion above the request in line number 4 of SCN.
       The agreement authorizes a decrease of $1.7 billion below 
     the request in line number 3 of SCN and an increase of $200.0 
     million above the request in line number 4 of SCN.
       The conferees note that the budget request included a plan 
     to procure 11 Virginia-class attack submarines across the 
     future years defense program (FYDP). The conferees supported 
     that plan in both the House of Representatives and Senate 
     National Defense Authorization Acts for Fiscal Year 2020. 
     Unfortunately, the conferees have learned from the Navy that 
     the original request was not financially or technically 
     executable. For example, the Navy's request included 
     procuring one boat in each of fiscal years 2020 and 2021 
     without the Virginia Payload Module (VPM). The conferees only 
     recently learned that shifting the configuration to a non-VPM 
     design would have resulted in considerable delay and 
     disruption in building attack submarines, and could have 
     harmed the Columbia-class program as well.
       The conferees expect budget requests and associated 
     materials to be complete and accurate, with rigorous 
     supporting justification and analysis that demonstrates such 
     requests are fully executable. The conferees further expect 
     that when the Navy finds discrepancies, the Navy will provide 
     timely, full, and open disclosure of such issues. The 
     conferees are concerned that the Virginia-class fiscal year 
     2020 request lacked both accuracy and timely reporting of 
     discrepancies.
       The Navy has recently proposed a revised acquisition 
     strategy with 9 Virginia-class submarines procured in fiscal 
     years 2019 through 2023, with options to procure additional 
     ships over that period. The conferees priority is to ensure 
     the Navy fully preserves a plan to procure 10 Virginia-class 
     attack submarines, nine of which include the VPM, and expects 
     the Navy to budget accordingly in their fiscal year 2021 
     budget submission. Therefore, the conferees are providing the 
     necessary additional Virginia-class advance procurement (AP) 
     and procurement funds, including the AP funds needed to 
     procure two submarines in fiscal year 2021, as submitted in 
     the fiscal year 2020 budget as well as the 30-year 
     shipbuilding plan.
       The conferees recognize that due to recent negotiations the 
     required multi-year certification of a ten submarine contract 
     may not be possible, because it is not fully funded across 
     the FYDP. The conferees note that section 2306b of title 10, 
     United States Code, allows the Secretary of Defense 
     to certify the contract even if all of the requirements 
     are not met. The conferees encourage the Secretary to 
     consider utilizing this authority in order to 
     expeditiously secure a contract for ten submarines.
       The conferees regret that they presently lack sufficient 
     budgetary information to support an eleventh Virginia-class 
     submarine in the fiscal year 2019 through 2023 timeframe. The 
     conferees would thoroughly consider an opportunity to 
     increase submarine procurement in the future if it were 
     technically and financially executable.

     surface combatants.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     land-based engineering site for the propulsion system.
       The conferees note that over the last 10 years, the 
     Comptroller General of the United States has issued at least 
     26 reports that identified shipbuilding best practices and 
     made 67 recommendations to help the Navy improve shipbuilding 
     outcomes. In a June 2018 report, the Government 
     Accountability Office found that the Navy, in many cases, has 
     not taken steps based upon these shipbuilding best 
     practices.
       In order to better understand the key aspects of ship 
     design necessary to provide confidence in a program's cost, 
     schedule, and reliability targets, the conferees direct the 
     Comptroller General to conduct a review of shipbuilding 
     design practices. This review shall include an examination of 
     the Navy's design practices for shipbuilding major defense 
     acquisition programs to assess measures of the lead ship or 
     lead ship of a major ship modification's design maturity and 
     stability sufficient to inform an understanding of the 
     construction costs and the effort needed to execute the 
     design, and any other related matters. The Comptroller 
     General shall provide a briefing and report to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than April 1, 2020 
     and January 1, 2021, respectively, that describe the findings 
     of the review.

     direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees, no later than May 1, 2020, 
     on the optimal composition of the carrier air wing (CVW) in 
     2030 and 2040, as well as alternative force design concepts. 
     The provision would also require the Secretary to provide a 
     briefing on the report no later than March 1, 2020, to the 
     congressional defense committees.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of the Navy to submit a report on the optimal 
     composition of the CVW on aircraft carriers and aviation 
     combat element (ACE) embarked on amphibious ships in 2030 and 
     2040, including alternative force design concepts. Of 
     specific concern that should be highlighted is the logistics 
     impact based on the aircraft carriers ability to support the 
     specified air wing.

                     Subtitle D--Air Force Programs

     Modification of requirement to preserve certain C-5 aircraft 
         (sec. 141)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 121) that 
     would amend section 141(d) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) 
     to 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 in the Air Force Reserve, Air 
     National Guard, or Active Force structure.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     storage of C-5 aircraft until a new mobility requirement 
     study is accomplished.
     OC-135B aircraft recapitalization program (sec. 142)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 130A) that 
     would ensure that any Request for Proposals for the 
     procurement of an OC-135B aircraft under the Open Skies 
     Treaty aircraft recapitalization program meets the 
     requirements for full and open competition as set forth in 
     section 2304 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     incorporates a full competitive bidding process, to include 
     both new production aircraft and recently manufactured low-
     hour, low-cycle aircraft.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     full competitive bidding process, including new and recently 
     manufactured aircraft.
     Requirement to align Air Force aviation force structure with 
         National Defense Strategy (sec. 143)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Air Force to align the fighter 
     force structure acquisition strategy with the results of the 
     independent studies required by section 1064 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 
     115-91) and to transmit the new strategy in a report to the 
     congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 2020.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees, no later than March 1, 
     2020, on the aviation force structure acquisition strategy 
     that aligns with the stated capability and capacity 
     requirements of the Air Force to meet the National Defense 
     Strategy. Additionally, the amendment would require a waiver 
     from the Secretary of Defense if the Secretary of the Air 
     Force deviates from the strategy
     Prohibition on availability of funds for reduction in KC-10 
         primary mission aircraft inventory (sec. 144)

     would require the Secretary of Defense to designate the F-
     15EX program as a major subprogram and subject

[[Page H9739]]

     it to relevant reporting requirements and criteria pertinent 
     to a major subprogram.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     same information pertinent to a major subprogram in the form 
     of a comprehensive report, which the conferees understand 
     would be less burdensome on the Secretary to generate instead 
     of formal acquisition documents that could delay execution of 
     the program using middle-tier rapid-acquisition authorities 
     for the first two procurement lots of aircraft. The amendment 
     would also authorize procurement of long-lead aircraft 
     materials to be procured for all aircraft authorized.
       The conferees expect the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     maintain information transparency with the congressional 
     defense committees, and to sufficiently and promptly keep the 
     congressional defense committees apprised of issues 
     particularly associated with the planning, cost, schedule, 
     execution, fielding, or risk related to the F-15EX program.

     certification to the congressional defense committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     notification of congressional committees if the over-and-
     above clause in the VC-25B contract is used.
     Limitation on availability of funds for RC-26B aircraft (sec. 
         147)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 129) that 
     would limit funds for the retiring of the RC-26B aircraft 
     until the Secretary of Air Force certifies to the 
     congressional defense committees that other platforms or 
     technologies provide equivalent capabilities to the RC-26B 
     aircraft.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit funds 
     until the report regarding the efficacy of the RC-26 mission 
     is delivered; the Secretary of the Air Force certifies 
     whether there are missions that the RC-26B is required to 
     complete; and whether there is a more cost effective way to 
     complete those missions should the RC-26B be divested or 
     retired.
     Limitation on availability of funds for retirement of RC-135 
         aircraft (sec. 148)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 126) that 
     would prohibit any use of funds authorized to be appropriated 
     in fiscal year 2020 for the Air Force to retire, or prepare 
     to retire, any RC-135 aircraft until 60 days after the date 
     on which the Secretary of Defense certifies to the 
     congressional defense committees that equivalent RC-135 
     capacity and capability exists to meet combatant commander 
     requirements for indications and warning, intelligence 
     preparation of the operational environment, and direct 
     support to kinetic and non-kinetic operations.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Air Force aggressor squadron modernization (sec. 149)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on Air Force aggressor 
     squadron modernization.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     130) that would require the Chief of Staff of the Air Force 
     to submit to the congressional defense committees a plan and 
     report on the strategy for modernizing the organic aggressor 
     fleet.
       The House recedes.
     Air Force plan for Combat Rescue Helicopter fielding (sec. 
         150)

     expressed the Sense of Congress that the Air National Guard 
     should retain additional HH-60G helicopters given the delays 
     of the Operational Loss Replacement program and the fielding 
     schedule of the Combat Rescue Helicopter program. 
     Furthermore, it directed a report on the fielding and 
     training plan for the Air National Guard.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on feasibility of multiyear contract for procurement 
         of JASSM-ER missiles (sec. 151)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 143) that would 
     require the Air Force to submit a report assessing the 
     feasibility of entering into a multi-year contract for the 
     procurement of the JASSM-ER. The report requires the Air 
     Force to examine multi-year contract scenarios, including one 
     that is an annual quantity of 550 missiles for five years. 
     The conferees note that the Air Force quantity requirement 
     for the JASSM-ER has recently increased and that procurement 
     utilizing multi-year contracts versus annual contracts could 
     provide significant cost savings to the Air Force.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on aircraft fleet of the Civil Air Patrol (sec. 152)

     Sense of Congress on the light attack aircraft initiative of 
         the Air Force (sec. 153)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 135) that 
     would authorize the Commander of the U.S. Special Operations 
     Command (USSOCOM) to procure light attack aircraft for Combat 
     Air Advisor mission support if a validated special operations 
     unique procurement requirement exists for USSOCOM.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that expresses a sense 
     of the Congress on the importance of USSOCOM and the 
     Secretary of the Air Force fully coordinating and 
     collaborating on the experimental activities associated with 
     the Air Force light attack aircraft initiative to inform 
     future activities for USSOCOM and the Department of the Air 
     Force regarding procurement of the light attack aircraft 
     platform.
       The conferees understand USSOCOM has an operational need 
     and requirement for light attack aircraft for combat mission 
     advisor support and as such expect the Secretary of the Air 
     Force in coordination with the Commander of USSOCOM to 
     consider options to synchronize and leverage Light Attack 
     Aircraft experiments efforts to accelerate the procurement or 
     development of aircraft for supporting the Combat Air Advisor 
     mission requirements.

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

     Economic order quantity contracting and buy-to-budget 
         acquisition for F-35 aircraft program (sec. 161)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 131) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to procure economic 
     order quantities of material and equipment for the F-35 
     program. This section would also authorize the Secretary to 
     procure F-35 aircraft exceeding the quantity otherwise 
     authorized by this Act if procurement of additional aircraft 
     would not require additional funds to be authorized or 
     appropriated.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 153) 
     that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into 
     multiyear procurement contracts for F-35 aircraft in economic 
     order quantities for fiscal year 2021 (Lot 15) through fiscal 
     year 2023 (Lot 17).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement for the Secretary to provide the congressional 
     defense committees a separate business-case analysis 
     performed by the Office of the Director, Cost Assessment and 
     Program Evaluation.
       The conferees also support procurement, by the Secretary of 
     Defense, of additional F-35A aircraft beyond the quantity of 
     F-35A aircraft authorized in this Bill, if such procurement 
     of additional aircraft would mitigate any negative cost and 
     schedule impacts for current F-35 program participants 
     resulting from the actions or decisions of foreign partners 
     or customers currently involved in the F-35 program.
     Relief from contractors for failure to deliver ready-for-
         issue spare parts for the F-35 aircraft program (sec. 
         162)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 134) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to seek compensation 
     from the contractor for costs related to the failure to 
     deliver ready-for-issue spare parts for the F-35 aircraft 
     program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would ensure 
     adequate relief from the prime contractors that delivered 
     noncompliant ready-for-issue spare parts.
     Limitation on availability of funds for reallocation of 
         Turkish F-35A aircraft to the United States (sec. 163)
       The conferees support the removal of the Government of 
     Turkey from the F-35 program due to its purchase of the S-400 
     Russian air defense system. As such, the conferees would 
     support procurement by the Department of Defense of all F-35A 
     aircraft procured by the Government of Turkey. The conferees 
     also encourage the Secretary of Defense to maximize the 
     procurement quantity of Turkish F-35A aircraft associated 
     with Lots 12, 13, or 14 during fiscal year 2020 using the 
     additional funds authorized in section 4101 of this Act.
       Additionally, given the significant impact of the 
     sustainment and spare parts deficit currently within the F-35 
     program, the conferees emphasize the importance of fully 
     funding spare parts, ancillary mission equipment, 
     publications, and technical data required to sustain F-35 
     aircraft. Therefore, the conferees recommend a provision that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to certify that these 
     necessary support equipment items will be procured prior to 
     taking possession of the Turkish F-35A aircraft, and

[[Page H9740]]

     that any Turkish F-35A aircraft will be delivered to the U.S. 
     Air Force in a configuration that allows for integration into 
     the existing Air Force F-35A fleet.
       Finally, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Air 
     Force, in consultation with the Undersecretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment and the F-35 Program Executive 
     Officer, to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than March 1, 2020, that describes the 
     strategy and implementation plan associated with the 
     necessary funding and actions required during each phase to 
     produce, modernize, deliver, field, operate and sustain the 
     Turkish F-35A aircraft authorized to be procured by the 
     Department of Defense elsewhere in this Act.

     the congressional defense committees as required by section 
     155 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with clarifying amendments associated 
     with the specific timeline that achievable actions will be 
     implemented by the F-35 program to address sustainment-
     related issues and that will reduce sustainment costs at a 
     more expedient pace.

     Block 4 and Continuous Capability Development and Delivery 
     (C2D2) program as a major subprogram of the F 35 program in 
     accordance with Title 10, United States Code, section 2430a. 
     The amendment would also require the Comptroller General to 
     submit annually to the congressional defense committees a 
     report on various aspects of the F-35 Block 4 and C2D2 
     program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement to designate the F-35 Block 4 and C2D2 program as 
     a major subprogram, but require the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit annually to the congressional defense committees an 
     integrated master schedule and past performance assessment 
     for each planned phase of Block 4 and C2D2 upgrades.
       The conferees expect the Secretary of Defense to keep the 
     congressional defense committees fully and promptly informed 
     on the planning, cost, schedule, execution, fielding, and 
     programmatic risk associated with the Block 4 and C2D2 
     program.

     strike section 141 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109-163).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees understand that Department of Defense policy 
     will continue to prioritize commonality, open architecture, 
     and non-proprietary systems for current and emerging 
     platform, sensor, and weapons requirements. Repeal of this 
     provision should not be construed as tacit permission to 
     procure proprietary, unique data links for intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems. The conferees 
     expect the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to update the DoD CDL policy dated May 3, 2018, 
     as necessary to emphasize that program priorities, such as 
     the congressionally-mandated migration off the common data 
     link-To Be Sunset (TBS) waveforms, will proceed as previously 
     planned. Further, the conferees expect a detailed accounting 
     from USD A&S on plans to address data link requirements for 
     emerging ISR systems and concepts.

     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Energy, and 
     the heads of other Federal agencies as deemed appropriate by 
     the Secretary of Defense, to carry out a program on the 
     research, development, testing, evaluation, study, and 
     demonstration of technologies related to blue carbon capture 
     and direct air capture.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     217).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Requiring defense microelectronics products and services meet 
         trusted supply chain and operational security standards 
         (sec. 224)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 233) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish, by January 1, 
     2021, supply chain and operational security standards and 
     requirements for microelectronics and require the Department 
     of Defense to purchase microelectronics and related services 
     to the maximum practicable extent from providers that meet 
     these standards.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     230C).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) Modify 
     the required purchase implementation date; (2) Clarify the 
     purchase requirement definition and specification; (3) Refine 
     the applicability statement; (4) Clarify that suppliers 
     should maintain the ability to sell commercially; and (5) 
     Clarify that the standards be comprised of best practices.
       The conferees intend that by incorporating and 
     standardizing best practices the Department will improve its 
     acquisition of securely manufactured, commercially-available 
     products and ensure that a growing industrial base is more 
     resilient to a variety of risks in the supply chain. Relevant 
     best practices include those relating to: manufacturing 
     location; company ownership; workforce composition and access 
     during manufacturing; suppliers' design, sourcing, 
     manufacturing, packaging, and distribution processes; and 
     reliability of the supply chain. Rather than MIL-SPEC style 
     standards that would inhibit the Department's flexibility, 
     the standardization of best practices is intended to strike a 
     balance between security and the cost-effectiveness of 
     commercial solutions.
     Development and acquisition strategy to procure secure, low 
         probability of detection data link network capability 
         (sec. 225)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 211, as amended 
     by sec. 5211) that would require the Chief of Staff of the 
     Air Force (CSAF) and Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) to 
     develop a joint development and acquisition strategy to 
     procure a resilient, low latency, and low probability of 
     detection data link network capability that would enable 
     effective operation in the contested environments highlighted 
     in the National Defense Strategy.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that includes 
     the Chief of Staff of the Army as part of the requirement.
       The conferees are concerned about an absence of coordinated 
     effort by the Department and the military services on 
     resilient, anti-jam, low probability of intercept/low 
     probability of detection (LPI/LPD) communications. The 
     conferees note that Congress previously directed a similar 
     strategy on LPI/LPD data links in the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). 
     The Department's response was incomplete and inadequate, 
     recommending no change to current Department policy that 
     designates the F-35's Multifunction Advanced Data Link (MADL) 
     as the solution for 5th to 4th generation air platform 
     networked communications. Both the Navy and Air Force 
     acknowledge that the aircraft modifications needed to install 
     MADL are unaffordable at scale. A January 2019 memorandum 
     signed by all three service secretaries commits the military 
     services to common data standards to ensure interoperability 
     across the joint force. While this is a positive step, the 
     conferees believe progress on the specific LPI/LPD 
     communications issue requires additional leadership and 
     attention from both the Department and the military services. 
     The conferees expect a more comprehensive and executable 
     response to this legislative provision and subsequent 
     investment in the Fiscal Year 2021 budget submission.

     of Defense for Research and Engineering, to carry out a 
     research program on foreign malign influence operations as 
     part of the university research programs of the Department of 
     Defense. Further, the provision would require the Secretary 
     to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     notification not less than 30 days prior to initiating such a 
     program.
     Diversification of the research and engineering workforce of 
         the Department of Defense (sec. 229)

     software development as core competencies for civilian and 
     military employees at the Department of Defense.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 517).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary of Defense to appoint a Chief Digital 
     Engineering Recruitment and Management Officer. The amendment 
     would also require an implementation plan describing how the 
     Department of Defense will execute its policy to promote and 
     maintain digital expertise and software development as core 
     competencies of the civilian and military workforce.
       The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to include

     and operational test requirements; that would direct 
     associated changes to policies and guidance for both efforts; 
     and that would require an initial report regarding these 
     activities to be submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than 90 days after enactment.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would further 
     elaborate the governance process and that would further 
     define the scope of the demonstration and selection of 
     programs to participate, as well as clarifying amendments to 
     the roles and responsibilities of officials and organizations 
     and technical amendments to the reporting requirements.
       The conferees believe that establishing a digital 
     engineering capability is critical to accelerating the 
     adoption of best practices in the use of software to model 
     and simulate complex system behavior to assess potential 
     effects of proposed hardware or software engineering changes 
     on system performance. Further, the conferees note the 
     significant potential value of digital engineering capability 
     for automating developmental and operational test and 
     evaluation, and especially where a weapon or business system 
     is software-defined and is developed using agile or secure

     Protection Agency, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the 
     Government of Puerto Rico to ensure the decontamination 
     process is conducted in a manner that causes the least 
     possible intrusion on the lives of island residents and

     private stakeholders to effectively address economic 
     challenges and opportunities in Vieques, Culebra, and the 
     adjacent communities of the former United States Naval 
     Station Roosevelt Roads.

     municipalities of Vieques and Culebra, Puerto Rico, not later 
     than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act. The

     following:
       (1) The pace of ongoing cleanup and environmental 
     restoration efforts in the former military training sites in 
     Vieques and Culebra; and
       (2) Potential challenges and alternatives to accelerate the 
     completion of such efforts, including their associated costs 
     and any impact they might have on the public health and 
     safety of island residents.

     on to say although the number of workers engaged in many 
     traditional production occupations is projected to continue 
     to decline over the coming decade, several other occupations 
     that enable and support the modern, automated manufacturing 
     facility are expected to surge. The Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment is directed to brief 
     the congressional defense committees by March 15, 2020 on the 
     estimated number of jobs in the industrial base workforce 
     expected to be gained due to the automation in the defense 
     sector, an analysis describing the jobs expected to be 
     gained, and a strategy to assist in attracting, training, and 
     developing a workforce for these jobs.
     Report on modernization of Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 341) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the long-term 
     modernization of the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct, not later than May 1, 2020, the 
     Secretary of the Air Force submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report on the long-term modernization of 
     the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, the Nevada Test and 
     Training Range, and other major training ranges. The report

     threats, and any current limitations compared to those 
     requirements; (2) An assessment of the requirement to provide 
     a realistic anti-access area denial training environment and 
     any current limitations compared to those requirements; (3) 
     An assessment of the requirement to modernize to provide 
     realistic threats in a large-scale, combined-arms near-peer 
     environment and any current limitations in meeting that 
     requirement; and (4) A plan for balancing coalition training 
     against training only for members of the Armed Forces of the 
     United States.

         dress uniforms
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 345) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct a study of the out-of-pocket costs to members of the 
     Armed Forces for service dress uniforms.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to conduct a study of the out-of-pocket costs to 
     members of the Armed Forces for service dress uniforms. The 
     study should include the following:
       (1) A description and comparison of the out-of-pocket cost 
     to members of the Armed Forces for the purchase of service 
     dress uniforms and service dress uniform items, broken down 
     by--
       (A) gender;
       (B) Armed Force;
       (C) enlisted; and
       (D) officer.
       (2) Stipends, in-kind provision of items, or other 
     assistance provided by each service to personnel to offset 
     cost of service dress uniforms.
       (3) A comparison of the out-of-pocket cost for purchase and 
     maintenance of service and service dress uniforms over 1, 5, 
     10, and 20-year periods.
       (4) A description of service dress uniform changes directed 
     by any of the Armed Forces over the past 10 years that have

     Forces and the costs associated with such change, by gender.
       (5) Any other information that the Comptroller General 
     determines appropriate.
       The conferees further direct the Comptroller General to 
     provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees on 
     the preliminary findings of the study not later than April 
     15, 2020, with a final report on the findings of the study to 
     be submitted to the congressional defense committees not 
     later than September 30, 2020.
     Inspector General audit of certain commercial depot 
         maintenance contracts
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 346) that 
     would require the Inspector General of the Department of 
     Defense to audit sole-source commercial depot maintenance 
     contracts to determine if there has been any excess profit or 
     cost escalation.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Inspector General of the 
     Department of Defense to audit each military department and 
     Defense Agency, as applicable, to determine if there has been 
     any excess profit or cost escalation with respect to sole-
     source contracts relating to commercial depot maintenance, to 
     include contracts for parts, supplies, equipment, and 
     maintenance services.
     Report on plan to decontaminate sites formerly used by the 
         Department of the Army that have since been transferred 
         to units of local government and are affected by 
         pollutants that are, in whole or in part, a result of 
         activity by the Department of Defense
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 347) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report specifying 
     properties that were under the jurisdiction of the Department 
     of the Army and transferred to units of local government that 
     may remain polluted because of activity by the Department of 
     Defense as well as the Secretary's plan to decontaminate each 
     covered property.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that there are numerous properties 
     formerly under the jurisdiction of the Department of the 
     Army, such as former Nike missile sites, that have been 
     transferred to units of local governments and may remain 
     polluted due to Department of Defense activity. This 
     pollution may prevent these properties from being used for 
     commercial or residential purposes.
       As such, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Army to 
     submit a report, not later than 90 days after the enactment 
     of this Act, specifying the covered properties that may 
     remain polluted because of Department of Defense activities 
     and a plan for how the Secretary plans to decontaminate each 
     covered property. The report should be submitted to the 
     Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Energy and 
     Natural Resources of the Senate as well as to the Committees 
     on Armed Services, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and 
     the Committee Natural Resources of the House of 
     Representatives.
       The term ``covered property'' means property that was under 
     the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army and was 
     transferred to a unit of local government before the date of 
     the enactment of section 120(h) of the Comprehensive 
     Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 
     1980, but that would have triggered Federal Government notice 
     or action under that section had the transfer occurred on or 
     after that date.
     Limitation on use of funds regarding the basing of KC-46A 
         aircraft outside the continental United States
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 352, as amended 
     by sec. 5352) that would limit Air Force funds until the 
     Secretary of the Air Force submits to the Congress a report 
     on the projected plan and timeline for strategic basing of 
     the KC-46A aircraft outside the continental United States.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     submit to Congress, not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, a report on the projected plan for 
     strategic basing of the KC-46A aircraft outside the 
     continental United States.
     Pilot program on reduction of effects of military aviation 
         noise on private residences
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 358) that 
     would authorize a five-year pilot program for the purpose of 
     mitigating the effects of military aviation noise on private 
     residences in the vicinity of the military installations from 
     which they operate.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned about the impact of military 
     aviation noise on the communities surrounding military 
     installations. The conferees note that community support is 
     an important enabler of readiness. The conferees encourage 
     the military services to find innovative ways to address 
     the community concerns about military aviation noise, 
     maximize transparency, and increase dialog with concerned 
     community members.
     Clarification of food ingredient requirements for food or 
         beverages provided by the Department of Defense
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 358) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to publish a notice of 
     proposed action before making any final rule, statement, or 
     determination on the limitation or prohibition of a food or 
     beverage ingredient provided by the Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that in 2017 the Department issued a 
     notice that prohibited commonly used ingredients without 
     considering the implications to manufacturers, farmers, and 
     suppliers. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     engage with the private industry prior to making a new 
     determination on food ingredients that may impact food supply 
     chains, as well as, establish a point of contact within the 
     department for engagement. Transparency when changing policy 
     guidance on food ingredients will ensure the food and 
     agriculture supply chain can meet new requirements.
     Completion of Department of Defense Directive 2310.07E 
         regarding missing persons
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 359) that

     completion of Department of Defense Directive 2310.07E to 
     improve the efficiency of locating missing persons.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Briefing on plans to increase readiness of B-1 bomber 
         aircraft
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5101) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the 
     congressional defense committees a briefing on the Air 
     Force's plans to increase the readiness of the B-1 bomber 
     aircraft.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees are concerned with the readiness rates of the 
     B-1 bomber and, therefore, direct the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to provide, no later than February 29, 2020, the 
     congressional defense committees a briefing on the Air 
     Force's plans to increase the readiness of the B-1 bomber 
     aircraft.
       The briefing should include the following elements: 1) A 
     description of aircraft structural issues; 2) A plan for 
     continued structural deficiency data analysis and training; 
     3) Projected repair timelines; 4) Future mitigation 
     strategies; 5) An aircrew and maintainer training plan, 
     including a plan to ensure that the training pipeline remains 
     steady, for any degradation period; 6) A recovery timeline to 
     meet future deployment tasking; and 7) A plan for continued 
     upgrades and improvements.
     Sense of Senate on prioritizing survivable logistics for the 
         Department of Defense
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5302) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate on the importance of 
     prioritizing survivable logistics.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the joint logistics enterprise of 
     the Armed Forces faces high-

[[Page H9753]]

     end threats from strategic competitors--China, Russia, and 
     Iran--all of which have invested in anti-access area denial 
     capabilities and gray zone tactics. As such, the conferees 
     believe that resilient and agile logistics are necessary to 
     implement the 2018 National Defense Strategy because it 
     enables the United States to project power and sustain the 
     fight against its strategic competitors in peacetime and 
     during war.
       Additionally, there are significant logistics shortfalls, 
     as outlined in the November 2018 final report of the Defense 
     Science Board Task Force on Survivable Logistics, which, if 
     left unaddressed, would hamper the readiness and ability of 
     the Armed Forces to conduct operations globally. The 
     conferees believe that since the military departments have 
     not shown a strong commitment to funding logistics, the 
     Secretaries of the military departments should review the 
     full list of recommendations in the report and address the 
     chronic underfunding of logistics relative to other 
     priorities.
     Plan on sustainment of Rough Terrain Container Handler fleets
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5303) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of 
     the Navy to develop plans for sustainment of the RT240 fleet, 
     assess available modernization capabilities, and provide a 
     joint briefing to the defense committees on the readiness of 
     both fleets.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Army and 
     Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days 
     after enactment of this Act. The briefing shall include the 
     plans for sustainment of the RT-240 Rough Terrain Cargo 
     Handler fleets to ensure operational capabilities into the 
     2030s, an assessment of available modernization capabilities 
     to enhance joint deployment of such fleets, and current 
     readiness of such fleets.

     Marine Corps Reserve, 2,386; the Air National Guard of the 
     United States, 22,637; the Air Force Reserve, 4,431.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     412).

     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House 
     of Representatives the number of positions realigned from 
     military technician (dual status) to a position in the 
     Active, Guard, and Reserve (AGR) program of the Air 
     National Guard during fiscal year 2019.
       Finally, the provision would specify that if the number so 
     certified is less than 3,190, that the authorized strength 
     for Air National Guard military technicians be increased by 
     the difference between the number certified and 3,190 (with a 
     maximum increase of 2,292) and that authorized AGR strength 
     for the Air National Guard be decreased by that same amount.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     413).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the minimum number of military technicians (dual status) on 
     the last day of fiscal year 2020 for the reserve components 
     of the Army and the Air Force.

     United States Code, by adjusting the controlled grade caps 
     for field grade officers and senior enlisted marines to 
     account for increased end strength in the Marine Corps Active

     grade officer and senior enlisted strength tables to allow 
     for future end strength increases.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

     or naval records and discharge review boards of the 
     applicable military department would change the discharge 
     characterization of that member to honorable, if the board's 
     review determined such change to be appropriate. The 
     provision would require consistency across the Department of 
     Defense in the manner of considering such requests, and that 
     the former member be authorized to use regular processes to 
     appeal a decision by such a board not to change the 
     characterization of the member's discharge. Finally, as to

         the official record (sec. 528)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 530A) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to develop guidelines for 
     the use of unofficial sources of information to determine the 
     eligibility of a servicemember for benefits and decorations 
     when the service records are incomplete because of damage to 
     the records.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop guidelines for the use of 
     unofficial sources of information to determine the

     for decorations when the service records are incomplete 
     because of damage.
     Strategic plan for diversity and inclusion (sec. 529)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 526) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to update and 
     implement a Department of Defense Diversity and Inclusion 
     Strategic Plan. The plan would cover a 5-year period 
     beginning January 1, 2020.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to design and implement a 5-year 
     strategic plan for diversity and inclusion in the Department 
     of Defense that incorporates existing efforts to promote 
     diversity and inclusion and is consistent with the objectives 
     of the 2018 National Military Strategy. The amended provision 
     would require the Secretary to implement the strategic plan 
     for diversity and inclusion not later than 1 year from the 
     date of the enactment of this Act.
     Study regarding screening individuals who seek to enlist in 
         the Armed Forces (sec. 530)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 530C) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to study the 
     feasibility of using the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
     Tattoo and Graffiti Identification Program and National Gang 
     Intelligence Center, to screen for white nationalists and 
     individuals with ties to white nationalist organizations as 
     part of background investigations and security screenings of 
     individuals who seek to enlist in the Armed Forces.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

         Homeland Security of honorable discharges of non-citizens 
         (sec. 530A)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 530F) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security with a copy of the Certificate 
     of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) issued 
     to each servicemember who is not a citizen of the United 
     States and who is honorably discharged from the Armed Forces, 
     not later than 30 days after the date of such discharge.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to study the feasibility of providing 
     the Secretary of Homeland Security with a copy of the DD Form 
     214 of each non-citizen servicemember who is discharged from 
     a period of Active Duty in the Armed Forces with an honorable 
     characterization of service, within 30 days of the date of 
     such member's discharge.
       The conferees note that the purpose of the assessment is to 
     consider whether the proactive transmission of a former 
     servicemember's DD Form 214 to the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security within 30 days of discharge promotes accurate and 
     up-to-date record keeping regarding the immigration status of 
     that former member. The conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide a report on the results of the assessment 
     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.
     Sense of Congress regarding accession physicals (sec. 530B)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5509) that

     mission and also reduce cost and increase efficiency at 
     military entrance processing stations (MEPS).
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     529).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express a 
     sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
     explore alternatives to centralized accession physicals at 
     MEPS, including by conducting such physicals through local 
     community health care providers.

                      Subtitle D--Military Justice

     Expansion of pre-referral matters reviewable by military 
         judges and military magistrates in the interest of 
         efficiency in military justice (sec. 531)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 555) that would 
     amend Article 30a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 
     U.S.C. 830a) to require the President to prescribe 
     regulations governing proceedings related to an expanded 
     set of matters that would be authorized to be conducted by 
     military judges and military magistrates prior to the 
     referral of court-martial charges. In addition to matters 
     related to investigative subpoenas, warrants for 
     electronic communications, and matters referred by an 
     appellate court, this expanded set of pre-referral matters 
     would include matters related to the pre-trial confinement 
     of an accused, the mental capacity responsibility of an 
     accused, and an accused's request for individual military 
     counsel.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     540B).
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Command influence (sec. 532)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 531) that 
     would amend section 837 of title 10, United States Code 
     (article 37 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice), to 
     prohibit convening authorities and commanding officers from 
     censuring or admonishing a military court, or any of its 
     members, the military judge, or counsel, with respect to the 
     findings or sentence adjudged by the court; from deterring or 
     attempting to deter a potential witness from participating in 
     the investigative process or testifying at a court-martial; 
     or from attempting to coerce or influence the action of a 
     court-martial or member thereof, in reaching the findings or 
     sentence in any case, or the actions of the convening, 
     approving, or reviewing authority. The provision would 
     expressly permit convening authorities and commanding 
     officers to engage in general communications with 
     subordinates or to seek advice from a superior officer on the 
     disposition of alleged violations of the Uniform Code of 
     Military Justice. The provision would clarify that no 
     findings of a sentence of a court-martial may be held 
     incorrect on the grounds of a violation of this provision 
     unless the violation materially prejudices the substantial 
     rights of the accused.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with technical amendments.
     Statute of limitations for certain offenses (sec. 533)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 532) that 
     would amend Article 43 of the Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice (10 U.S.C. 843) to include the offenses of maiming or 
     kidnapping of a child among those that may be tried and 
     punished at any time, without limitation. This amendment 
     would take effect on the date of enactment of this Act and 
     would apply with respect to the prosecution of such offenses 
     committed before, on, or after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, provided the applicable limitation period has not 
     yet expired.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Public access to dockets, filings, and court records of 
         courts-martial or other records of trial of the military 
         justice system (sec. 534)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 559) that would 
     amend Article 140a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
     (10 U.S.C. 940a) to clarify that the Secretary of Defense 
     must act in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security to apply to the United States Coast Guard the 
     uniform standards and criteria governing administration of 
     the military justice system, including those associated with: 
     (1) The collection and analysis of data; (2) Case processing 
     and management; (3) Timely, efficient, and accurate 
     production and distribution of records of trial; and (4) 
     Facilitating public access to docket information, filings, 
     and records of court-martial proceedings. Further, the 
     provision also would clarify that the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 
     552a) would not apply to courts-martial information made 
     publicly available in accordance with Article 140a. Finally, 
     the provision would affirm that the public access requirement 
     would not apply to court-martial docket information, filings, 
     or records that are classified, subject to a judicial 
     protective order, or ordered sealed.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would maintain 
     applicability of the Privacy Act to records of trial produced 
     or distributed within the military justice system, as well as 
     to docket information, filings, and records made accessible 
     to the public.
     Extension of Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, 
         Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed 
         Forces (sec. 535)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 533) that would 
     amend section 546(f)(1) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to extend the term of the 
     Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and 
     Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces (DAC-IPAD) by 5 
     years.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     548).
       The House recedes.
       The conferees request the DAC-IPAD review, as appropriate, 
     whether other justice programs (e.g., restorative justice 
     programs, mediation) could be employed or modified to assist 
     the victim of an alleged sexual assault or the alleged 
     offender, particularly in cases in which the evidence in the 
     victim's case has been determined not to be sufficient to 
     take judicial, non-judicial, or administrative action against 
     the perpetrator of the alleged offense.
       Further, the conferees recognize the importance of 
     providing survivors of sexual assault an opportunity to 
     provide a full and complete description of the impact of the 
     assault on the survivor during court-martial sentencing 
     hearings related to the offense. The conferees are concerned 
     by reports that some military judges have interpreted Rule 
     for Courts-Martial (RCM) 1001(c) too narrowly, limiting what 
     survivors are permitted to say during sentencing hearings in 
     ways that do not fully inform the court of the impact of the 
     crime on the survivor.
       Therefore, the conferees request that, on a one-time basis, 
     or more frequently, as appropriate, and adjunct to its review 
     of court-martial cases completed in any particular year, the 
     DAC-IPAD assess whether military judges are according 
     appropriate deference to victims of crimes who exercise their 
     right to be heard under RCM 1001(c) at sentencing hearings, 
     and appropriately permitting other witnesses to testify about 
     the impact of the crime under RCM 1001.
     Authority for return of personal property to victims of 
         sexual assault who file a Restricted Report before 
         conclusion of related proceedings (sec. 536)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 532) that would 
     amend section 586 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to require the 
     Secretary of Defense to prescribe procedures under which a 
     victim of sexual assault who files a restricted report may, 
     at any time and on a confidential basis, request the return 
     of the victim's personal property obtained as part of the 
     sexual assault forensic examination. Any such request on the 
     part of the victim would not affect the restricted nature of 
     the victim's report of sexual assault. The provision also 
     would require a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator or Sexual 
     Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate to inform the 
     victim of his or her right to request the return of personal 
     property under these procedures, but that any such return 
     might negatively affect a subsequent adjudication of the 
     case, should the victim later decide to convert the 
     restricted report to an unrestricted report. The provision 
     would not affect the requirement to retain a sexual assault 
     forensic examination kit for the period required in law.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Guidelines on sentences for offenses committed under the 
         Uniform Code of Military Justice (sec. 537)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 533) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish non-
     binding sentencing guidelines for offenses under the Uniform 
     Code of Military Justice, taking into account sentencing data 
     collected by the Military Justice Review Panel.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop non-binding guidelines on 
     sentences for offenses under chapter 47 of title 10, United 
     States Code (the Uniform Code of Military Justice), including 
     suggested ranges of confinement. The provision would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to submit the sentencing guidelines 
     developed, together with an assessment of the feasibility and 
     advisability of implementing such guidelines in panel 
     sentencing cases, to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 1 
     year after the date on which the first report of the Military 
     Justice Review Panel is submitted, to ensure that development 
     of the guidelines is informed by sentencing data collected by 
     the Panel.
     Notification of significant events and documentation of 
         preference for prosecution jurisdiction for victims of 
         sexual assault (sec. 538)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 524) that would 
     require a commander of a member of the Armed Forces who is 
     the victim of an alleged sexual assault committed by another 
     member of the Armed Forces to provide notification to the 
     victim of every key or other significant event in the 
     military justice process in connection with the 
     investigation, prosecution, and confinement of such other 
     member. In cases in which the member of the Armed Forces 
     alleged to have committed the sexual assault is subject to 
     prosecution by both court-martial and by a

[[Page H9758]]

     civilian court under Federal or State law, the commander of 
     the victim would be required to create and maintain 
     appropriate documentation of the victim's expressed 
     preference, if any, of forum for prosecution of the offense. 
     The Secretary of Defense would be required to prescribe 
     regulations applicable to the notifications, elections, 
     and documentation required by the provision.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     534).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     notification to a victim of each significant event in the 
     military justice process, and documentation of that 
     notification, as well as documentation of the victim's 
     preference for prosecution jurisdiction, in an appropriate 
     system of records of the military department concerned. The 
     Secretary of Defense would be required to prescribe 
     regulations implementing this provision not later than 180 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, with a view 
     to permitting the Secretary to determine by whom each such 
     notifications should be made, the manner of each 
     notification, whether a victim may elect not to receive such 
     notifications, and how decisions on the part of the victim 
     should be memorialized, among other matters.
     Increase in number of digital forensic examiners for certain 
         military criminal investigative organizations (sec. 539)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 557) that would 
     require each of the secretaries of the military departments 
     to increase the number of digital forensic examiners in each 
     military criminal investigative organization (MCIO) under 
     that secretary's jurisdiction by not fewer than 10 examiners 
     above the baseline number of digital forensic examiners in 
     each MCIO as of September 30, 2019.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     536).
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Increase in investigative personnel and Victim Witness 
         Assistance Program liaisons (sec. 540)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 535) that 
     would require the secretaries of the military departments to 
     ensure the number of personnel authorizations for criminal 
     investigators allow for the completion of investigations of 
     sex-related offenses in no more than 6 months, to the extent 
     practicable. The provision would require each Secretary to 
     issue guidance requiring criminal investigators to submit a 
     status report to their direct supervisor in the event an 
     investigation exceeds 90 days. The provision also would 
     require the secretaries of the military departments to 
     increase the number of personnel serving as Victim Witness 
     Assistance Program liaisons to address personnel shortages.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     secretaries of the military departments, within 1 year from 
     the date of enactment of this Act, to increase the number of 
     personnel assigned to the military criminal investigative 
     organization of that department, with the goal of ensuring 
     that, to the extent practicable, the investigation of any 
     sex-related offense is completed not later than 6 months 
     after the date on which the investigation is initiated. An 
     investigation would be deemed complete when the active phase 
     of the investigation is sufficiently complete to enable the 
     appropriate authority to reach a decision with respect to the 
     disposition of charges for the sex-related offense. The 
     provision would further require each secretary to increase 
     the number of personnel serving as Victim Witness Assistance 
     liaisons to address personnel shortages in the program, also 
     within a period of one year. Finally, the provision would 
     specify that neither the statement of an aspirational 
     timeline for the completion of investigations of sex-related 
     offenses, nor the directive to increase the number of 
     criminal investigators and Victim Witness Assistance liaisons 
     creates a cause of action enforceable at law or in equity 
     against the United States, the Department of Defense, or any 
     person.
     Training for sexual assault initial disposition authorities 
         on exercise of disposition authority for sexual assault 
         and collateral offenses (sec. 540A)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 523) that would 
     require comprehensive training for sexual assault initial 
     disposition authorities, as defined by the April 20, 2012, 
     Secretary of Defense memorandum, ``Withholding Initial 
     Disposition Authority Under the Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice in Certain Sexual Assault Cases,'' on the exercise of 
     their authorities in such cases, with a view to enhancing the 
     capabilities of such authorities and promoting trust and 
     confidence in the military justice system.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     540).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Training for commanders in the Armed Forces on their role in 
         all stages of military justice in connection with sexual 
         assault (sec. 540B)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 525) that would 
     require training provided to all military commanders to 
     include comprehensive training on the role of a commander: 
     (1) In all stages of the military justice process in 
     connection with sexual assault committed by a member of the 
     Armed Forces, including investigation and prosecution; (2) In 
     ensuring that a victim of sexual assault is informed of, and 
     has the opportunity to obtain, the assistance available by 
     law; (3) In ensuring that the victim is afforded all rights 
     and protections authorized under law; (4) In preventing 
     retaliation; (5) In establishing and maintaining a healthy 
     command climate; and (6) In any other matters in connection 
     with sexual assault deemed appropriate by the Secretary of 
     Defense.
       The provision would further require that the training 
     provided to commanders incorporate best practices in all 
     matters covered. These best practices should be identified 
     and brought current through periodic surveys and reviews.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     540C).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Timely disposition of nonprosecutable sex-related offenses 
         (sec. 540C)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 539) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
     implement a policy to ensure the timely disposition of non-
     prosecutable sex-related offenses.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop a policy to ensure the timely 
     disposition of alleged sex-related offenses that a court-
     martial convening authority has declined to refer for trial 
     by a general or special court-martial, due to a determination 
     that there is insufficient evidence to support prosecution of 
     the offense. The Secretary would be required to implement the 
     policy within 180 days of the enactment of this Act.
     Department of Defense-wide policy and military department-
         specific programs on reinvigoration of the prevention of 
         sexual assault involving members of the Armed Forces 
         (sec. 540D)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 521) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to promulgate a 
     comprehensive policy to reinvigorate the prevention of sexual 
     assault among members of the Armed Forces, within 180 days 
     after enactment of this Act.
       The provision would require inclusion in the comprehensive 
     policy of programs that: (1) Provide education and training 
     on the prevention of sexual assault; (2) Promote healthy 
     relationships; (3) Are designed to empower and enhance the 
     role of non-commissioned officers in the prevention of sexual 
     assault; (4) Foster social courage to promote interventions 
     to prevent sexual assault; (5) Address behaviors across the 
     continuum of harm; (6) Counter alcohol abuse, including binge 
     drinking; and (7) Encompass such other matters as the 
     Secretary of Defense deems appropriate.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Recommendations on separate punitive article in the Uniform 
         Code of Military Justice on sexual harassment (sec. 540E)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 529) that would 
     require the Joint Service Committee on Military Justice to 
     submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives, a report setting forth 
     legislative and administrative actions required to establish 
     a punitive article on sexual harassment in the Uniform Code 
     of Military Justice. The report would be required to be 
     submitted within 180 days of the date of the enactment of 
     this Act.

     Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, which report must set forth such 
     recommendations as the Secretary considers appropriate with 
     respect to the establishment of a separate punitive article 
     on sexual harassment in chapter 47 of title 10, United States 
     Code (the Uniform Code of Military Justice).
     Report on military justice system involving alternative 
         authority for determining whether to prefer or refer 
         changes for felony offenses under the Uniform Code of 
         Military Justice (sec. 540F)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 561) 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 setting forth the results of a study 
     on the feasibility and advisability of an alternative 
     military justice system in which determinations to prefer or 
     refer charges for trial by court-martial, for offenses for 
     which the maximum punishment includes confinement for more 
     than 1 year under the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
     (Chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code), would be 
     made by a judge advocate officer in a grade of 0-6 or 
     higher, who has significant experience in criminal 
     litigation and is outside of the chain of command of the 
     member of the Armed Forces who is the subject of the 
     charges, rather than by a commanding officer in the 
     subject's chain of command. The report would further 
     assess the feasibility and advisability of conducting a 
     pilot

[[Page H9759]]

     program to assess any such alternative military justice 
     system, and would be required to be submitted not later 
     than 300 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on standardization among the military departments in 
         collection and presentation of information on matters 
         within the military justice system (sec. 540G)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 562) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, describing plans to standardize across the 
     military departments, to the extent practicable, the 
     collection and presentation of matters within their military 
     justice systems, including information collected and 
     maintained to facilitate public access to court-martial 
     docket information, filings, and records, and for other 
     purposes set forth in article 140 of the Uniform Code of 
     Military Justice (10 U.S.C. 940a). In particular, the 
     provision would require the Secretary to assess the 
     feasibility and advisability of establishing and maintaining 
     a single, Department of Defense-wide military justice data 
     management system. The report would be submitted not later 
     than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on expansion of Air Force safe to report policy across 
         the Armed Forces (sec. 540H)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 528) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     secretaries of the military departments and the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security, to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, 
     assessing the feasibility and advisability of applying across 
     the Armed Forces, the Safe to Report policy currently 
     applicable only in the Air Force. The report would be 
     required to be submitted within 180 days of the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
       The Safe to Report policy currently in effect in the Air 
     Force provides that a member of the Armed Forces who is a 
     victim of a sexual assault committed by another member of the 
     Armed Forces, but who may have committed minor collateral 
     misconduct at or about the time of the sexual assault or 
     whose minor collateral misconduct is discovered only as a 
     result of the investigation of the sexual assault, may report 
     the assault to authorities without fear or receipt of 
     discipline in connection with that minor collateral 
     misconduct.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Assessment of racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in the 
         military justice system (sec. 540I)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 535) that would 
     require the Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, 
     Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed 
     Forces to conduct a review and assessment of the race and 
     ethnicity of servicemembers accused, charged, or convicted of 
     certain sexual offenses.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     540A) that would require the Secretary of Defense to require 
     that, as to each court-martial conducted after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the race, ethnicity, gender, and 
     other such demographic information about the victim and the 
     accused are recorded, and that data based on this information 
     is included in the annual military justice reports of the 
     Armed Forces. Further, in consultation with the secretaries 
     of the military departments and the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security, the Secretary of Defense would conduct an 
     evaluation to identify the causes of any racial, ethnic, or 
     gender disparities in the military justice system and take 
     appropriate steps to address them.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and 
     Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces (or DAC-IPAD) 
     to conduct certain reviews and assessments regarding the race 
     and ethnicity of members of the Armed Forces accused, charged 
     with, and convicted of certain sexual assault offenses, for 
     each fiscal year in which the Committee assesses completed 
     court-martial cases. A report on the results of all such 
     reviews and assessment would be submitted to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives not later than one year after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
     Pilot programs on defense investigators in the military 
         justice system (sec. 540J)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 560) that would 
     require each of the Secretaries of the military departments 
     to execute a pilot program to determine whether the presence 
     and utilization of defense investigators makes the military 
     justice system more fair and efficient and more effective in 
     determining the truth. Defense investigators engaged in each 
     secretary's pilot would participate in the military justice 
     system in a manner similar to that in which defense 
     investigators participate in civilian criminal justice 
     systems, and the personnel and activities of pilot program 
     defense investigators would be uniform across all military 
     departments, to the extent practicable.
       The provision would specify that a defense investigator 
     participating in the pilot may question a victim only upon a 
     request made through a Special Victims' Counsel or other 
     counsel of the victim or the trial counsel.
       Further, the provision would require that, not later than 3 
     years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of Defense submit to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
     consolidated report on the defense investigator pilot program 
     with an assessment of the feasibility and advisability of 
     establishing and maintaining defense investigators as a 
     permanent element of the military justice system.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     537).
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on preservation of recourse to restricted report on 
         sexual assault for victims of sexual assault following 
         certain victim or third-party communications (sec. 540K)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 531) 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 feasibility and advisability 
     of a Department of Defense policy that would permit the 
     victim of a sexual assault, when the victim is a member of 
     the Armed Forces or an adult dependent of such a member, to 
     have a report of the assault made by the victim to a member 
     of the Armed Forces in the victim's or victim's sponsor's 
     chain of command, or to military law enforcement, treated as 
     a restricted report. A report of the assault made by any 
     individual other than the victim would be similarly treated. 
     In preparing the report, which would be due not later than 
     180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary would be required to consult with the Defense 
     Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense 
     of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     550P).
       The House recedes.
     Report on establishment of guardian ad litem program for 
         certain military dependents who are a victim or witness 
         of an offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
         involving abuse or exploitation (sec. 540L)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 563) 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 feasibility and advisability 
     of establishing a guardian ad litem program for military 
     dependents, under 12 years of age or who lack mental or other 
     capacity, who are victims or witnesses to an offense under 
     the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Chapter 47 of title 10, 
     United States Code) that involves an element of abuse or 
     exploitation. Should the Secretary determine that 
     establishment of such a program is feasible and advisable, 
     the report must include a description of: (1) The 
     administrative requirements, including resources, required 
     for the program; (2) Best practices, determined in 
     consultation with civilian experts on child advocacy; and (3) 
     Recommendations for legislative and administrative action 
     required to implement the program. The report would be 
     required to be submitted not later than 1 year after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Comptroller General of the United States report on 
         implementation by the Armed Forces of recent statutory 
         requirements on sexual assault prevention and response in 
         the military (sec. 540M)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 537) that would 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct a study of the Armed Forces' implementation of 
     statutory requirements on sexual assault prevention and 
     response enacted by the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136) and each succeeding 
     National Defense Authorization Act through the John S. 
     McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2019 (Public Law 115-232). The provision also would 
     require the Comptroller General to submit a report on this 
     study to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives. For each statutory 
     requirement the report would include an assessment of: (1) 
     Whether the requirement has been or is being implemented; 
     (2) The actions taken by the Armed Forces to determine 
     whether the actions taken pursuant to each requirement 
     have proven effective in meeting the intended objective; 
     and (3) Any other matters deemed appropriate. Finally, the 
     provision would require the Comptroller General to provide 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives, not later than May 1, 2020, one 
     or more briefings on the status of the study, including 
     any findings and recommendations generated by the study to 
     date.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress on the Port Chicago 50 (sec. 540N)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1099) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that: (1) The American 
     people should recognize the role of racial bias in the 
     prosecution and convictions of the Port Chicago 50 following 
     the deadliest home front

[[Page H9760]]

     disaster in World War II; (2) The military records of each of 
     the Port Chicago 50 should reflect such exoneration of any 
     and all charges brought against them in the aftermath of the 
     explosion; and (3) The Secretary of the Navy should upgrade 
     the general and summary discharges of each of the Port 
     Chicago 50 sailors to honorable discharges.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would convey the 
     sense of Congress that the American people should recognize 
     the role of racial bias during the era in which the 
     prosecution and conviction of the Port Chicago 50 took place, 
     and that the Secretary of the Navy should, as appropriate, 
     recommend executive action in favor of the 49 remaining 
     Sailors with a general court-martial conviction and the 207 
     remaining Sailors with a summary court-martial conviction.

                    Subtitle E--Other Legal Matters

     Improvement of certain Special Victims' Counsel authorities 
         (sec. 541)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 542) that would 
     expand the legal assistance authorized to be provided by 
     Special Victims' Counsel to include legal consultation and 
     assistance in connection with an incident of retaliation, 
     whether occurring before, during, or after the conclusion of 
     any criminal proceedings.
       The provision would also codify the Special Victims' 
     Counsel's duty to solicit the preference of a victim of an 
     alleged sex-related offense as to whether the offense should 
     be prosecuted by court-martial or in a civilian court with 
     jurisdiction over the offense and to advise appropriate 
     military prosecutors of the victim's preference.
       Finally, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, the 
     provision would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives, detailing the manner--including 
     the additional personnel, resources, and training required--
     in which the Department of Defense would extend eligibility 
     for Special Victims' Counsel services to certain military and 
     military-affiliated civilian victims of alleged domestic 
     violence offenses and to certain other civilian victims of an 
     alleged sex-related or domestic violence offenses, were 
     expansion of the program to be authorized in law.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require that 
     not later than 4 years after the date of the enactment this 
     Act, the secretary of each military department shall ensure 
     that the number of Special Victims' Counsel serving in that 
     department is sufficient to ensure that the average caseload 
     of a Special Victims' Counsel does not exceed, to the extent 
     practicable, 25 cases any given time. The amendment would 
     further remove from this provision the assignment to Special 
     Victims' Counsel of the responsibility to solicit the 
     preference of the victim of an alleged sex-related offense 
     with regard to the forum of prosecution, and would eliminate 
     from this provision the reporting requirement pertaining to 
     the extension of Special Victims' Counsel services.
     Availability of Special Victims' Counsel at military 
         installations (sec. 542)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 543) that would 
     require that, in circumstances in which a Special Victims' 
     Counsel is not available at a military installation to 
     provide services to a member of the Armed Forces who requests 
     such a counsel, such a counsel be made available not later 
     than 72 hours after the member's request.
       Further, the provision would require each of the 
     secretaries of the military departments to submit to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives a report assessing the feasibility and 
     advisability of establishing for each Special Victims' 
     Counsel, one or more civilian positions to support the 
     counsel and to ensure continuity and the preservation of 
     institutional knowledge related to the provision of Special 
     Victims' Counsel services. The report would be submitted not 
     later than 180 days after enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     550A).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require that 
     a Special Victims' Counsel be made available for access by a 
     servicemember who requests such counsel, not later than 72 
     hours after such a request, and that if the Secretary 
     concerned determines that exigent circumstances related to 
     military activities preclude the availability of a Special 
     Victims' Counsel within the prescribed period, the Secretary 
     shall ensure that such counsel is made available to the 
     requesting servicemember as soon as practicable.
     Notification of issuance of military protective order to 
         civilian law enforcement (sec. 543)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 543) that 
     would amend section 1567a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require unit commanders to notify civilian authorities of the 
     issuance of a military protective order against a member of 
     the Armed Forces, and in the case of the member's transfer to 
     another unit, to notify the receiving unit of the issuance of 
     a military protective order.
       The provision also would require the Secretary of Defense, 
     not later than March 1, 2020, and each year thereafter 
     through 2024, to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees identifying the number of military protective 
     orders issued and the number of military protective orders 
     reported to civilian authorities in the prior calendar year.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delay until 
     March 1, 2021, and extend through 2025, submission by the 
     Secretary of Defense to the congressional defense committees 
     of an annual report on military protective orders, which 
     report would further detail the extent to which the 
     Department is complying with the requirement to report such 
     orders to civilian authorities.
     Copyright protection for civilian faculty of certain 
         accredited institutions (sec. 544)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 550D) that 
     would add a section to title 10, United States Code, 
     providing that for purposes of copyright, a work produced by 
     a civilian member of the faculty of 12 ``covered 
     institutions'' is only a work of the United States Government 
     if created in direct support of a lecture, instruction, 
     curriculum development, or special duty assigned to that 
     civilian faculty member. The provision would further allow 
     that the Secretary concerned may require a civilian member of 
     a covered institution who becomes the owner of a copyright 
     under these conditions to provide the Federal Government with 
     an irrevocable, royalty-free, world-wide, nonexclusive 
     license to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, 
     or disclose such work for United States Government purposes. 
     The provision would enumerate the 12 ``covered 
     institutions'': (1) National Defense University; (2) United 
     States Military Academy; (3) Army War College; (4) United 
     States Army Command and General Staff College; (5) United 
     States Naval Academy; (6) Naval War College; (7) Naval Post 
     Graduate School; (8) Marine Corps University; (9) United 
     States Air Force Academy; (10) Air University; (11) Defense 
     Language Institute; and (12) United States Coast Guard 
     Academy.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify 
     section 105 of title 17, United States Code, to provide that 
     a civilian faulty member of one of the 12 covered 
     institutions owns the copyright to a literary work produced 
     by the faculty member for publication by a scholarly press or 
     journal. The amendment would further provide that the 
     Secretary of Defense may direct the faculty member to provide 
     the Federal Government with an irrevocable, royalty-free, 
     world-wide nonexclusive license to reproduce, distribute, 
     perform, or display such literary work for United States 
     Government purposes.
       The conferees echo the significant concerns expressed in 
     the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) about the degraded 
     state of Department of Defense Professional Military 
     Education (PME). The NDS acknowledged, ``PME has stagnated, 
     focused more on the accomplishment of mandatory credit at the 
     expense of lethality and ingenuity.'' The conferees view the 
     instant provision as a small step toward overarching PME 
     reform. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to 
     publish policy guidance to ensure the consistent 
     implementation of this provision across all covered 
     institutions. Further, with a view to measuring the effects 
     of this provision, the conferees request that not later than 
     January 31, 2022, the Department of Defense provide a report 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     House of Representatives detailing: (1) Since enactment of 
     this provision, how many copyrights vested in civilian 
     faculty members at each of the 12 covered institutions; 
     (2) How many civilian faculty members in whom such a 
     copyright vested published a literary work in a scholarly 
     press or journal, by covered institution; and (3) Real 
     world examples of the ways in which this provision has 
     improved the recruitment and retention of civilian faculty 
     members at each covered institution.
     Termination of leases of premises and motor vehicles of 
         servicemembers who incur catastrophic injury or illness 
         or die while in military service (sec. 545)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6007) that 
     would amend section 3955 of title 50, United States Code, 
     allowing a spouse of a servicemember who incurs a 
     catastrophic injury or illness during a period of military 
     service while performing full-time National Guard duty, 
     active Guard and Reserve duty, or inactive-duty training to 
     terminate the lease of a premises or motor vehicle.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     550G).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Military orders required for termination of leases pursuant 
         to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (sec. 546)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 546) that 
     would amend section 3955 of title 50, United States Code, to 
     clarify that, in the context of terminating residential or 
     motor vehicle leases, military orders for a permanent change 
     of station include separation or retirement orders.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     Preservation of right to bring class action under 
         Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (sec. 547)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 550J) that 
     would amend section 802(a) of the Servicemembers Civil Relief 
     Act (Public Law 109-189) to clarify that individuals covered 
     by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act are entitled to be a 
     representative party on behalf of members of a class or be a 
     member of a class, in accordance with the Federal Rules of 
     Civil Procedure.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Legal counsel for victims of alleged domestic violence 
         offenses (sec. 548)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 541) that would 
     authorize the secretaries of the military departments to 
     provide Special Victims' Counsel services to certain military 
     and military-affiliated civilian personnel who are the 
     victims of an alleged domestic violence offense, if a given 
     secretary determines that resources are available for this 
     purpose without impairing capacity to provide such services 
     to the victims of alleged sex-related offenses already 
     authorized by law to receive them. The provision also would 
     authorize a given secretary to extend the provision of 
     Special Victims' Counsel services, under the same terms and 
     conditions, to certain civilian persons who are the victims 
     of an alleged sex-related offense or alleged domestic 
     violence offense, but who are not currently authorized to 
     receive such services.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     542) that would expand the Special Victims' Counsel program 
     to cover domestic violence victims and to include designated 
     Special Victims' Counsel paralegals. This provision would 
     also require expansion of the Special Victim's Counsel 
     program not later than two years after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, and would mandate a report, due to Congress not 
     later than December 1, 2022, assessing military service 
     compliance with Special Victims' Counsel program 
     requirements.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to carry out a program to provide legal 
     counsel to victims of alleged domestic violence offenses who 
     are otherwise eligible for military legal assistance, not 
     later than December 1, 2020. The program may be part of 
     another program or established separately. The Secretary of 
     Defense would be required to ensure that program counsel 
     receive specialized training in the legal issues commonly 
     associated with alleged domestic violence offenses and, to 
     the extent practicable, serve in the program for a period of 
     no less than two years. Further, the Secretary would ensure 
     that counsel are supported by sufficient trained paralegal 
     support. In a report due to the Committees on Armed Services 
     of the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than 
     120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of Defense would provide: (1) A description of the 
     manner in which the Department will implement the required 
     program; (2) Describe any additional personnel, resources,

     intimate partner of a member of the Armed Forces on Active 
     Duty assigned to the installation or of a civilian employee 
     employed at the installation.

     requirement for notice between and among the commander, 
     installation military law enforcement elements, and military 
     criminal investigative elements, whenever such a civilian 
     protective order is registered. The provision would require 
     that a failure to register a civilian protective order may 
     not be offered as justification for a lack of enforcement of 
     the order by military law enforcement and other personnel who 
     have knowledge of it.
       Further, the provision would require that, as soon as 
     practicable after establishing the requisite policies and

     which the military installation is located. Such training 
     would include: (1) Victim rights; (2) Protective orders; (3) 
     Prosecution of criminal offenses; and (4) Sentencing for 
     conviction of a criminal offense.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     550C) that would clarify that the purpose of the training is 
     to assist such counsel in providing victims of alleged sex-
     related offenses with information necessary to make an 
     informed decision regarding preference as to the jurisdiction 
     in which such offenses will be prosecuted. Further, the House 
     provision would not apply to a Special Victims' Counsel of 
     the Coast Guard.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add 
     ``protective orders'' to the list of State criminal justice 
     matters about which a Special Victims' Counsel or Victim

     Secretary of Defense may work with internal and external 
     functional experts to train military criminal investigative 
     agents on technologies, tools, and techniques--like digital 
     forensics--to enhance investigations of child sexual 
     exploitation, and on evidence-based forensic interviewing of 
     child victims. Further, to the extent authorized by law, the 
     Secretary may, as part of this initiative, collaborate with 
     Federal, State, local, and other civilian law enforcement 
     agencies on issues relating to child sexual exploitation;

     States Code (the Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended, 18 
     U.S.C. 921-938), for use in background checks performed by 
     the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. The 
     provision would further require the Secretary of Defense to 
     conduct a study and submit a report on the feasibility of 
     establishing a database of military protective orders issued 
     by military commanders against individuals suspected of 
     having committed an offense of domestic violence under the 
     Uniform Code of Military Justice (Chapter 47 of Title 10, 
     U.S.C.), and the feasibility of establishing a process by 
     which a military judge or magistrate may issue a protective 
     order against an individual suspected of having committed

     resultant report, a requirement to assess how any military 
     protective order database and process for the issuance of a 
     military protective order by a military judge deemed 
     feasible, would differ from analogous civilian databases and 
     processes, including with regard to due process and other 
     procedural protections.
       The conferees direct the Department of Defense and its 
     components to take immediate and deliberate action to ensure

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review

     Representatives regarding the effects of the common 
     commercial and governmental practices of including a 
     mandatory arbitration clause in employment and consumer 
     agreements, on the ability of servicemembers to assert claims 
     under USERRA and SCRA. The report will: (1) Identify each

     program begins, to administer a survey to persons who elected 
     to receive information under the program to receive feedback 
     on the quality of the information they received. Finally, the

     increment.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

     Authority of the Secretary concerned to transport remains of 
         a covered decedent to no more than two places selected by 
         the person designated to direct disposition of the 
         remains (sec. 573)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 573) that 
     would amend section 1482(a)(8) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to authorize transportation of remains of a covered

     single escort to the place selected by the person designated 
     (designee) to direct disposition of the remains, or to a 
     national or other cemetery, which is selected by the 
     Secretary of the Military Department concerned. Additionally, 
     the provision would authorize the Secretary concerned to 
     transport the remains to no more than two places selected by

       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 580E) that 
     would amend section

[[Page H9765]]

     1491(b) of the same title to require the Secretaries of the 
     military departments to provide full military honors for the 
     funeral of a veteran under the same criteria as section 591 
     of the Senate bill.

     amend section 1784 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a cooperative 
     agreement with the Council of State Governments to assist 
     with the funding and development of interstate compacts on 
     licensed occupations.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     624) that would also guarantee residency for spouses of 
     servicemembers for the purposes of registering a business.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to enter into a cooperative agreement 
     with the Council of State Governments to assist with the 
     funding and development of interstate compacts on licensed 
     occupations. The conferees note that the guarantee of 
     residency for spouses of servicemembers is included in 
     another provision in this Act.
     Continued eligibility for education and training 
         opportunities for spouses of promoted members (sec. 576)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 623) that 
     would amend section 1784a(b) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to allow a military spouse eligible for a program under this 
     section to finish his or her course of education or training 
     for a degree, license, or credential, regardless of whether 
     the servicemember to whom the spouse is married is promoted 
     to a higher grade.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to 
     improve the data collection for military spouse education and 
     employment programs, to establish a better understanding of 
     utilization and completion of the programs.
     Modification to authority to reimburse for State licensure 
         and certification costs of a spouse of a servicemember 
         arising from relocation (sec. 577)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 576) that would 
     amend section 476(p)(4) of title 37, United States Code, to 
     extend the authority for reimbursement of state licensure and 
     certification costs of military spouses arising from 
     relocation to another State to December 31, 2024.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 628) that 
     would amend section 476(p) of title 37, United States Code, 
     to authorize the Secretary concerned to reimburse a member of 
     the uniformed services for qualified relicensing costs of the 
     spouse of the member, not to exceed $1,000, until December 
     31, 2024. Additionally, the provision requires an analysis of 
     whether the maximum reimbursement amount is sufficient to 
     cover the average costs of relicensing.
       The Senate recedes.
     Clarification regarding eligibility to transfer entitlement 
         under Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program (sec. 578)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 574) that 
     would amend section 3319 of title 38, United States Code, to 
     prevent the Secretary of Defense from imposing a limit on 
     transferability of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits based on 
     maximum number of years of service.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes. The conferees note the provision 
     authorizing some servicemembers to transfer their education 
     benefit was originally included as part of the Post-9/11 
     Veterans' Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-
     252) to serve as a retention incentive. Section 3319 of title 
     38, United States Code, is explicit in stating the purpose of 
     the transferability provision is to ``promote recruitment and 
     retention in the uniformed services.'' Therefore, the 
     conferees fully expect the Department of Defense to require 
     that any servicemember who requests, and is authorized, to 
     transfer their education benefits serve the mandated four 
     additional years as a member of the uniformed services. This 
     payback period should be applied in all cases, regardless of 
     when a servicemember actually elects to transfer their 
     benefits.
       While this provision prohibits the Department of Defense 
     from imposing a general limit on transferability based on the 
     number of years served, the overall authority on whether to 
     grant an individual servicemember's request to transfer 
     benefits remains entirely at the service secretary's 
     discretion. The conferees encourage service secretaries to 
     develop policies that properly treat transferability as one 
     of many possible recruiting and retention tools to attract 
     and keep high-quality servicemembers.
     Annual State report card (sec. 579)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5501) that 
     would amend section 1111(h)(1)(C)(ii) of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     576).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Improvements to child care for members of the Armed Forces 
         (sec. 580)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 579) that would 
     clarify section 559(e) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) by including 
     family childcare coordinator services and school age 
     childcare coordinator services in the direct hire authority.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 629) that 
     would: (1) Expand the authority to provide financial 
     assistance to civilian providers of child care services or 
     youth program services that provide services to survivors of 
     members of the Armed Forces who die in the line of duty; (2) 
     Expand the direct hire authority for childcare service 
     providers; (3) Require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an 
     assessment of financial assistance provided to civilian 
     childcare providers; (4) Require the Secretary of Defense to 
     conduct an assessment of childcare capacity on military 
     installations and require remedial action to alleviate the 
     waiting lists for childcare if necessary; (5) Require the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment of the 
     accessibility of websites of the Department of Defense 
     related to childcare and spousal employment; and (6) Ensure 
     the portability of background investigations and training 
     certifications for childcare providers employed by the 
     Department of Defense when such providers are transferred to 
     another Department facility.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     direct hire authority for Department of Defense childcare 
     development centers to include family childcare coordinator 
     services and school age childcare coordinator services. 
     Additionally, the provision would require the Secretary of 
     Defense to take remedial action if necessary to reduce 
     waiting lists for childcare at military installations and to 
     provide a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on any action taken 
     or any additional resources necessary to increase access to 
     childcare. The provision would also require a review of the 
     assessments conducted by the Secretary under this provision 
     by the Comptroller General of the United States.
     Transportation of remains of casualties; travel expenses for 
         next of kin (sec. 580A)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 577) that 
     would amend section 562 of the John Warner National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364) 
     to require the Secretary of Defense to extend travel 
     privileges via international travel authorization to family 
     members of servicemembers who die outside of the United 
     States and whose remains are returned to the mortuary 
     facility at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Meetings of officials of the Department of Defense with 
         representative groups of survivors of deceased members of 
         the Armed Forces (sec. 580B)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 578) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to direct the service 
     chiefs and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to meet 
     periodically with survivors of deceased members of the Armed 
     Forces to receive feedback regarding issues affecting 
     survivors.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to direct the service chiefs and the 
     Chief of the National Guard Bureau to meet periodically with 
     representative groups of survivors to receive feedback 
     regarding issues affecting survivors.
     Information and opportunities for registration for voting and 
         absentee ballot requests for members of the Armed Forces 
         undergoing deployment overseas (sec. 580C)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5502) that 
     would require that not later than 45 days prior to a general 
     election for Federal office, a Voting Assistance Officer or 
     other person designated by the secretary of the military 
     department concerned, shall provide a member of the Armed 
     Forces with a Federal write-in absentee ballot and 
     instructions on the use of that ballot in the State in which 
     the member is registered to vote. The provision also would 
     require that in the case of a member intending to vote in a 
     State that does not accept the Federal write-in absentee 
     ballot as a simultaneous application and ballot for Federal 
     elections, the member would be provided a briefing on, and an 
     opportunity to fill out the official post-card form for 
     absentee voter registration application and absentee ballot 
     application prescribed in law. The provision concludes with a 
     Sense of Congress relating to the use of the Federal write-in 
     absentee ballot.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 575) that 
     would amend section 102(h) of the Uniformed and Overseas 
     Citizens Absentee Voting Act (52 U.S.C. 20302(h))to require a 
     chief State election official, in coordination with local 
     election jurisdictions, to establish and operate an absentee 
     ballot tracking program for absentee uniformed voters and 
     overseas citizen voters.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     Voting Assistance Officer or other person designated by the 
     secretary of the military department concerned, to provide a 
     Federal write-in ballot to a member of the Armed Forces, upon 
     the request of that member. Further, in the case of

[[Page H9766]]

     a member intending to vote in a State that does not accept 
     the Federal write-in absentee ballot as a simultaneous 
     application and ballot, the member would be provided 
     instructions on, and an opportunity to fill out, the official 
     post-card form.
       The conferees urge the Federal government and State 
     governments to remove all obstacles that would inhibit 
     deployed servicemembers from voting. Further, the conferees 
     strongly advocate that States that do not allow 
     servicemembers to use the Federal write-in absentee ballot as 
     a simultaneous application and acceptable ballot for Federal 
     elections modify their laws to permit such use.
     Study on two-way military ballot barcode tracking (sec. 580D)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5503) that 
     would require the Director of the Federal Voting Assistance 
     Program of the Department of Defense to conduct a study on 
     the feasibility of a pilot program providing full ballot 
     tracking of overseas military absentee ballots through the 
     mail stream in a manner similar to the 2016 Military Ballot 
     Tracking Pilot Program. The provision would further require 
     the Director to submit a report to Congress, not later than 1 
     year after the date of the enactment of this Act, detailing 
     the results of the feasibility study, together with an 
     estimate of the costs of conducting a pilot, the 
     organizations that would support the pilot, and the timeline 
     for the phased implementation of the pilot program to all 
     military personnel serving overseas.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Director of the Federal Voting Assistance Program to include 
     in the feasibility study report, a method to determine under 
     the pilot program if a ballot was counted, and to provide 
     that information to the servicemember casting the vote, and a 
     description of the efforts being undertaken to ensure a 
     reliable and secure military ballot tracking system.
     Assistance to schools with military dependent students (sec. 
         580E)

     Defense-wide, for continuation of the Department of Defense 
     (DOD) assistance program to local educational agencies 
     impacted by enrollment of dependent children of military 
     members and DOD civilian employees.
       The Senate bill contained another provision (sec. 572) that 
     would authorize $10.0 million in Operation and Maintenance,

     severe disabilities (as enacted by Public Law 106-398; 114 
     Stat. 1654A-77; 20 U.S.C. 7703a) using the formula set forth 
     in section 363 of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-398), 
     for continuation of DOD assistance to local educational 
     agencies that benefit eligible dependents with severe 
     disabilities. Subsection (b) of the 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 the Secretary's discretion and 
     without regard to the formula set forth in section 363 of 
     the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-398).
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 580) that 
     would authorize $40.0 million for the purpose of providing 
     assistance to local educational agencies with military 
     dependent students and $10.0 million for local educational 
     agencies eligible to receive a payment for children with 
     severe disabilities.

     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 the Secretary's discretion.
     First expansion of the My Career Advancement Account program 
         for military spouses (sec. 580F)
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 580B) that 
     would expand the My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) 
     program to allow military spouses participating in the 
     program to receive financial assistance to pursue a license, 
     certification, or associate's degree in any career field or 
     occupation, including both portable and non-portable career 
     fields.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow 
     military spouses participating in the MyCAA program the 
     ability to receive financial assistance for the pursuit of a 
     license, certification, or associate's degree in any career 
     field or occupation.
     Second expansion of the My Career Advancement Account program 
         for military spouses (sec. 580G)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 580C) that 
     would expand the Department of Defense My Career Advancement 
     Account program (MyCAA) to all spouses of enlisted members of 
     the U.S. Coast Guard.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     eligible spouses of members of the U.S. Coast Guard to 
     participate in the MyCAA program if the U.S. Coast Guard 
     reimburses the Department of Defense.
     Report on training and support available to military spouses 
         (sec. 580H)
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 580D) that 
     would require a report from the Under Secretary of Defense 
     for Personnel and Readiness on training and support available 
     to military spouses.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to 
     submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on the Department of 
     Defense's financial literacy programs designed for military 
     spouses and their efficacy.
     Ri'katak Guest Student Program at United States Army 
         Garrison--Kwajelein Atoll (sec. 580I)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 573) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of the Army to conduct an assistance 
     program to educate up to five local national students per 
     grade, per academic year, on a space-available basis at the 
     contractor-operated schools on United States Army Garrison-
     Kwajalein Atoll. Under this provision, the Secretary would be 
     authorized to provide: (1) Classroom instruction; (2) 
     Extracurricular activities; (3) Student meals; and (4) 
     Transportation.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                   Subtitle I--Decorations and Awards

     Modification of authorities on eligibility for and 
         replacement of gold star lapel buttons (sec. 581)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 632) that would 
     amend section 1126 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to determine the eligible 
     recipients of the gold star lapel button. Additionally, the 
     provision would authorize the Secretary to replace a lapel 
     button upon application and without cost.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     581).
       The House recedes.
     Standardization of honorable service requirement for award of 
         military decorations (sec. 582)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 586) that would 
     amend Chapter 57 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     standardize the requirement for honorable service for awards 
     of medals, crosses, bars, and associated emblems.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Authorization for award of the Medal of Honor to John J. 
         Duffy for acts of valor in Vietnam (sec. 583)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 585) that would 
     authorize the President, notwithstanding the time limitations 
     specified in section 3744 of title 10, United States Code, or 
     any other time limitation with respect to awarding certain 
     medals to members of the Armed Forces, to award the Medal of 
     Honor under section 3741 of such title to John J. Duffy for 
     acts of valor during the Vietnam War.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Review of World War I Valor Medals (sec. 584)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 583) that 
     would require each Secretary concerned to review certain 
     service records of World War I veterans as recommended for 
     review by the Valor Medals Review Task Force or another 
     veterans service organization, to determine whether such 
     veteran should be awarded the Medal of Honor for valor in 
     World War I.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     each Secretary concerned to review certain service records of 
     World War I veterans to determine whether such veteran should 
     be awarded the Medal of Honor for valor in World War I. The 
     review will last no longer than 5 years.
       The conferees note that the Valor Medals Review Task Force, 
     jointly established by the United States Foundation for the 
     Commemoration of the World Wars and the George S. Robb Centre 
     for the Study of the Great War, has identified World War I 
     veteran service records for potential review by the 
     Secretaries concerned. The conferees encourage the 
     Secretaries of the military departments to consult with the 
     Valor Medals Review Task Force to identify those service 
     records that warrant further review to determine whether such 
     veteran should be recommended for an upgrade to the Medal of 
     Honor for valor.

          Subtitle J--Miscellaneous Reports and Other Matters

     Clarification of the term ``assault'' for purposes of 
         Workplace and Gender Relations Surveys (sec. 591)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 592) that 
     would amend section 481 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     update the Armed Forces Workplace and Gender Relations 
     surveys and the Department of Defense Civilian Employee 
     Workplace and Gender Relations Survey to require solicitation 
     of information about the types and frequency

[[Page H9767]]

     of unwanted sexual contact that have occurred during the 
     preceding year.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     sections 481 and 481a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify that the term ``assault'', for purposes of questions 
     posed on Armed Forces Workplace and Gender Relations Surveys 
     and the Department of Defense Civilian Employee Workplace and 
     Gender Relations Survey, respectively, should be defined to 
     include ``unwanted sexual contact.''
     Inclusion of certain veterans on temporary disability or 
         permanent disabled retirement lists in military adaptive 
         sports programs (sec. 592)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5601) that

     United States Code, to authorize inclusion of servicemembers, 
     who are eligible to participate in military adaptive sports 
     programs, and certain veterans on temporary disability or 
     permanent disabled retirement lists in such programs.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     599B).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Questions in surveys regarding extremist activity in the 
         workplace (sec. 593)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 594) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to include in the 
     workplace and equal opportunity, command climate, and 
     workplace and gender relations surveys whether respondents 
     had ever experienced supremacist activity, extremist 
     activity, or racism in the workplace.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to include in appropriate surveys 
     questions about whether a respondent had experienced or 
     witnessed extremist activity in the workplace, and whether 
     the respondent had reported such activity to appropriate 
     authorities.
     Study on best practices for providing financial literacy 
         education for separating members of the Armed Forces 
         (sec. 594)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 598) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs to conduct a study on the best practices to 
     provide financial literacy education for separating members 
     of the Armed Forces and veterans.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Department in 
     which the Coast Guard is operating to conduct a study on the 
     best practices to provide financial literacy education for 
     separating members of the Armed Forces. The results of the 
     study shall be reported to the Committees on Armed Services 
     of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
     Report on oversight of authorized strengths of certain grades 
         of commissioned regular and reserve officers of the Armed 
         Forces (sec. 595)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 501) that would 
     amend section 523 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     the Congress to authorize annually the number of officers 
     serving on Active Duty in the grades of major, lieutenant 
     colonel, and colonel in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps 
     or lieutenant commander, commander, and captain in the Navy.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     on alternative methods to improve the oversight of authorized 
     strengths of commissioned regular and reserve officers of the 
     Armed Forces.
       The conferees note the officer strength table was included 
     as a fundamental feature of the Defense Officer Personnel 
     Management Act (DOPMA) (Public Law 96-513). The table was 
     designed to serve as an effective limitation on the number of 
     mid-grade officers within each service. The House report to 
     accompany the legislation (H. Rept. 96-1462) explained that 
     the table would be adjusted over time to align with emerging 
     officer manpower requirements. However, in practice, the 
     authorized strength table is rarely updated and it is no 
     longer linked to strategy or actual officer requirements.
     Report on certain waivers (sec. 596)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 597) that 
     would require the Department of Defense to submit an initial 
     report (within 120 days of the enactment of this Act) and an 
     annual report for 2 years thereafter, to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, setting forth detailed information about the 
     number of transgender applicants and serving transgender 
     servicemembers who, in the prior calendar year, sought and 
     received a waiver or exception to current Defense Department 
     policy to permit their enlistment/accession or retention in 
     the military. The reporting would require the Department to 
     distinguish between waivers requested by ``exempt'' persons--
     applicants or servicemembers ``grandfathered'' under the 
     policies for military service by transgender persons enacted 
     in June 2016, and ``non-exempt'' persons--who are subject to 
     the policy on transgender service that that took effect on 
     April 12, 2019.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     data elements required to be included in the report and would 
     clarify that any report submitted will not include Personally 
     Identifiable Information or Protected Health Information.
       The conferees note that the new Department of Defense 
     policy with regard to military service by transgender persons 
     expressly asserts that ``[t]ransgender persons may seek 
     waivers or exceptions [to the standards established by DTM-
     19-004], or any other standards, requirements, or policies, 
     on the same terms as any other person.'' As regards a 
     transgender person's request for a waiver or exception to 
     policy to permit that individual to serve in the military in 
     other than his or her biological sex, the Secretaries of the 
     Military Departments may delegate waiver authority no lower 
     than a Military Service Personnel Chief. The conferees note 
     that all other waiver authority vests in the regular Service-
     designated waiver authority, affording transgender persons 
     consideration at the same level of decision-making as persons 
     who are not transgender.
       In determining whether an applicant with a disqualifying 
     diagnosis of gender dysphoria or history of gender transition 
     treatment or surgery merits a waiver to permit his or her 
     service in the military, the conferees encourage Service--
     designated waiver authorities to consider such a waiver under 
     the same circumstances as they would for an applicant who is 
     not transgender, but has been diagnosed with analogous 
     conditions or received analogous treatments, presuming the 
     individual meets all other standards for accession.
     Notifications on manning of afloat naval forces (sec. 597)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 518) that would 
     amend section 525 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
     to make technical changes to congressional notifications 
     germane to the manning of afloat naval forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset such 
     notifications in fiscal year 2025.
     Report regarding use of aerial systems of the Department of 
         Defense to support agencies of States, Territories, and 
         the Federal Government (sec. 598)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 514) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense, within 90 days of 
     enactment, to issue new guidance that treats the use of 
     unmanned aircraft systems by the National Guard for covered 
     activities in a manner no more restrictive than the use of 
     other aircraft.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after enactment 
     of this Act, to provide a report on the requirements for, and 
     policies and procedures governing the use of Department of 
     Defense manned and unmanned aerial systems to support States, 
     territories, and other Federal agencies.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense provides 
     resources, including unmanned and manned aerial systems, at 
     the request of States, territories, and other Federal 
     agencies for emergency operations, search and rescue 
     operations, and Defense support to civil authorities. 
     However, the conferees note that there is a lack of 
     understanding on the policy, procedures, and overall 
     availability of these resources to provide such requested 
     support.
     Information for members of the Armed Forces on availability 
         of services of the Department of Veterans Affairs 
         relating to sexual trauma (sec. 599)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 745) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to use available 
     mechanisms to inform members of the Armed Forces of their 
     eligibility for services provided by the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs. In particular, the Secretary would be 
     required to ensure that Sexual Assault Response Coordinators 
     and uniformed victim advocates of the Department of Defense 
     advise members of the Armed Forces experiencing psychological 
     trauma resulting from a physical assault of a sexual nature, 
     battery of a sexual nature, or sexual harassment that 
     occurred while serving on Active Duty, Active Duty for 
     training, or inactive duty training, regarding their 
     eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs counseling, 
     care, and services.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Authority to issue an honorary promotion to Colonel Charles 
         E. McGee, United States Air Force (ret.), to the grade of 
         brigadier general (sec. 599A)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 599) that 
     would authorize the President to issue an honorary commission 
     promoting, to brigadier general in the Air Force, Colonel 
     Charles E. McGee, United States Air Force (retired), a 
     distinguished Tuskegee Airman.

       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Sense of Congress on the honorable and distinguished service 
         of General Joseph F. Dunford, United States Marine Corps, 
         to the United States (sec. 599C)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5504) that 
     would express the sense of Congress as to the honorable and 
     distinguished career of service to the United States of 
     General Joseph F. Dunford, United States Marine Corps.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees find that: (1) General Joseph F. Dunford was 
     commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States 
     Marine Corps in 1977; (2) Since 1977, General Dunford has 
     served as an infantry officer at all levels and has held

       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the United States in general, and 
     the military in particular, currently struggle to find and 
     produce sufficient numbers of Americans trained to succeed in 
     computer science and cybersecurity careers. The Junior 
     Reserve Officers' Training Corp, and programs like it, can 
     serve as catalysts to overcoming these systemic shortages by 
     providing an extra-curricular experience to young Americans 
     who demonstrate a penchant for computer science and related 
     subjects. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to 
     partner with other Federal, State, and local organizations in 
     developing new programs to better prepare the nation's youth 
     for the workforce of the future.
     Sense of Congress regarding the National Guard Youth 
         Challenge Program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 519) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the National Guard 
     Youth Challenge Program provides a vital service to at-risk 
     youth and would encourage the Secretary of Defense to use the 
     authority provided in section 519 of the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115-232) to use equipment and facilities of the 
     Department of Defense in this program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees reiterate the importance of the National 
     Guard Youth Challenge Program and good work the program 
     accomplishes. Additionally, the conferees continue to 
     encourage the Secretary of Defense to utilize authority 
     provided by the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2019 to use Department of Defense 
     equipment for the purpose of supporting the National Guard 
     Youth Challenge.

     team approach of the Air Force to the other Armed Forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretaries of the military 
     departments to submit to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives a joint report on 
     the feasibility and advisability of expanding the Close 
     Airman Support team approach employed by the Air Force for 
     use by the other Military Services.
     National guard support to major disasters
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 520D) that 
     would amend section 502 of title 32, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary concerned to order a member of the 
     National Guard to perform duties related to operations or 
     missions authorized by the President or the Secretary of 
     Defense to respond to large scale, complex, and catastrophic 
     disasters. The provision would also establish a permanent 
     authorization of appropriations for sums necessary to carry 
     out National Guard disaster response if a state of emergency 
     has been declared by the respective Governor and the 
     President of the United States.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report regarding National Guard Youth Challenge Program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 520F) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees regarding the resources 
     and authorities the Secretary determines necessary to 
     identify the effects on graduates of the National Guard Youth 
     Challenge Program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 509 of title 32, United 
     States Code, already requires the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit an annual report on the design, conduct, and 
     effectiveness of the National Guard Youth Challenge Program.
     Temporary authority to use Air Force reserve component 
         personnel to provide training and instruction regarding 
         pilot training
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 520H) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to utilize 
     certain reserve component full time support personnel to 
     provide pilot training to Active Duty servicemembers and 
     foreign military personnel who are in the United States.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that reserve component full time support 
     personnel are expressly provided by law to organize, 
     administer, recruit, instruct, or train reserve component 
     units and personnel. To provide an exception to this long-
     standing requirement would be to undermine the necessary 
     distinction between the active and reserve components.
     Enactment and expansion of policy on withholding of initial 
         disposition authority for certain offenses under the 
         Uniform Code of Military Justice
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 522) that would 
     vest only in a commissioned officer in a grade not below O-6, 
     who is authorized to convene special courts-martial, the 
     authority to determine the disposition of specified offenses 
     under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Chapter 47 of 
     title 10, United States Code).
       Generally, if such an officer's disposition determination 
     differs from the recommendation made by the officer's legal 
     advisor, the matter would be referred to a Special Victim 
     Prosecutor, Senior Trial Counsel, or Regional Trial Counsel 
     not in the chain of command of the officer making the initial 
     disposition determination for review and recommendation to a 
     staff judge advocate in

[[Page H9769]]

     the chain of command. That staff judge advocate would advise 
     the next superior commander, who would decide whether to 
     endorse or supersede the initial disposition 
     determination.
       The provision would require the training provided to 
     commissioned officers in the grades of O-6 and above on the 
     exercise of such disposition determination authority to 
     include specific training on sexual harassment, sexual 
     assault, and family abuse and domestic violence.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Advisory Committee on record and service review boards
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 523) that

     Upgrade Review Boards to advise the Secretary of Defense on 
     the best structure, practices, and procedures to ensure 
     consistency of the boards for correction of military records 
     and service review boards in carrying out their 
     responsibilities under chapter 79 of title 10, United States 
     Code, and in granting relief to claimants under that chapter.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

         determinations for foreign nationals who are lawful 
         permanent residents
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 525) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from taking any 
     action to implement the memorandum entitled ``Military 
     Service Suitability Determinations for Foreign Nationals Who 
     Are Lawful Permanent Residents'' until the Secretary submits 
     a report on the justification for the policy changes made by 
     that memorandum.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and House of Representatives, not later than 180 days after 
     the enactment of this Act. The briefing shall include: (1) 
     The number of lawful permanent residents (LPRs) who apply for 
     military service; (2) The average length of the military 
     service suitability determination process for LPRs, as 
     detailed in the policy memorandum, measured in six month 
     increments since the policy memorandum was implemented; (3) 
     The number of LPRs who have not been deemed suitable for 
     enlistment or accession into the military based on a matter 
     identified during the process established by the memorandum; 
     (4) A summary of the most common reasons underlying past 
     determinations that an LPR is not suitable for military 
     service; and (5) The Department's plans to improve and 
     expedite the military service suitability determination

     would require the Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into 
     a contract with a federally funded research and development 
     center to study barriers to entry into the Armed Forces for 
     English learners.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Senate report 114-48 directs 
     the Secretary of Defense to review the effectiveness of 
     current enlistment testing practices in identifying high-
     potential recruits for military service, specifically among 
     the non-native English speaking population of the United 
     States, in light of evolving standards and methods in 
     civilian education of measuring mental ability and academic 
     potential.
       The conferees look forward to receiving the Department's 
     report on this topic.
     Reenlistment waivers for persons separated from the Armed 
         Forces who commit one misdemeanor cannabis offense

     previously separated from the Armed Forces who has admitted 
     to, or been convicted by a court of a single misdemeanor 
     violation of a Federal or State law relating to the use or 
     possession of cannabis, which violation occurred while that 
     individual was not on Active Duty in the Armed Forces.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     Department of Defense to consider only the ability of an 
     individual to meet gender-neutral occupational standards for 
     military service generally and the military occupational 
     specialty concerned, in particular, in evaluating a candidate 
     for enlistment/accession. The provision would further require 
     that any personnel policy developed or implemented by the 
     Department ensure equality of treatment and opportunity for 
     all persons in the Armed Forces, without regard to race, 
     color, national origin, religion, and sex (including gender 
     identity and sexual orientation). Finally, the provision 
     promulgates a definition of ``gender identity.''

     organizations.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives, within 180 days from the date of 
     enactment of this Act, a briefing setting forth proposals to 
     enhance the integration and synchronization of Special Victim 
     Investigation and Prosecution personnel with the activities 
     of military criminal investigative organizations in 
     investigations in which both may be involved, together with 
     any legislative and administrative actions required to 
     implement those proposals.

         committed by attendees of military service academies
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 538) that

     service academy cadets and midshipmen to determine whether 
     such offenses should be referred to trial by a court-martial 
     convening authority. This provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish an Office of the Chief 
     Prosecutor within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, as 
     part of the pilot program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

         related to protected communications of members of the 
         Armed Forces and prohibited retaliatory actions
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 541) that 
     would amend section 1034 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     allow a finding or other determination made under subsections 
     (c), (d), (g), or (h), to be based on the standards of 
     evidence specified in section 1221(e) of title 5, United 
     States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Repeal of 15-year statute of limitations on motions or 
         requests for review of discharge or dismissal from the 
         Armed Forces
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 546) that would 
     eliminate the 15-year statute of limitations on requests by 
     or on behalf of a former servicemember for review by a

       The House recedes.
     Safe to Report policy applicable across the Armed Forces
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 527) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     secretaries of the military departments and the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security, to prescribe a Safe to Report policy 
     applicable to all members of the Armed Forces, across both 
     active and reserve components, and to cadets and midshipmen 
     at the military service academies. A Safe to Report policy is 
     one in which a victim of sexual assault who may have 
     committed minor collateral misconduct at or about the time of 
     the assault, or whose minor collateral misconduct is 
     discovered only as the result of the investigation of the 
     sexual assault, may report the assault to authorities without

[[Page H9770]]

     cases in which aggravating circumstances increase the gravity 
     of the minor collateral misconduct or its impact on military 
     good order and discipline.

     collateral misconduct or its impact on good order and 
     discipline.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     550).
       The Senate and House recede.
     Preliminary inquiry on Arlington National Cemetery burial
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 550E) that 
     would require the Department of the Army's General Counsel to 
     conduct a preliminary inquiry to investigate the burial of

     accusations that Mr. Dunlap supplied the Soviet Union with 
     intelligence during the Cold War.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees encourage the Department of the Army to 
     consider this case and, if necessary, to take appropriate 
     action.

     1041.12(b)(1) through (3) of the final rule published on 
     November 17, 2017 by the Bureau of Consumer Financial 
     Protection related to Mandatory Underwriting Provisions to go 
     into effect on August 19, 2019, with regards to 
     servicemembers, veterans, and surviving spouses.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Strengthening civilian and military partnerships to respond 
         to domestic and sexual violence
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 550L) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     submit to Congress a report on partnerships between military 
     installations and civilian domestic and sexual violence 
     response organizations.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that page 126 of the House Report 116-
     120, accompanying H.R. 2500, National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2020, directs the Comptroller General of 
     the United States to assess and report on the military 
     services' domestic violence prevention and response programs. 
     The conferees request that the Comptroller General expand 
     this assessment to include a review of partnerships between 
     military installations and civilian domestic and sexual 
     violence response organizations, the scope of services and 
     support provided via such partnerships, and their role in a 
     coordinated community response to domestic and sexual 
     violence in military families.
     Education of Members of the Armed Forces on Career Readiness 
         and Professional Development
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 552) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program 
     to provide education on career readiness and professional 
     development to members of the Armed Forces.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the military already provides 
     numerous opportunities for servicemembers to receive 
     information on career readiness and professional development. 
     The Department of Defense should continue to ensure that all 
     servicemembers are provided opportunities to translate their 
     military experience into civilian education and 
     certifications wherever possible.
     Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 553) that

     permit the Defense Language Institute to confer Bachelor 
     degrees, in addition to Associate degrees, to graduates that 
     meet the appropriate requirements for that degree.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Liberal consideration of evidence in certain claims by boards 
         for the correction of military records and discharge 
         review boards
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 553) that would 
     require military department boards for the correction of 
     military records and discharge review boards to review all 
     claims relating to a claimant's discharge or dismissal, or 
     the characterization of that discharge or dismissal, with 
     liberal consideration of all evidence and information 
     presented by or on behalf of the former servicemember.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees encourage the military department boards for 
     the correction of military or naval records to apply their 
     powers of equity broadly to redress injustices in the 
     military records of a servicemember or former member, and in 
     appropriate cases--as authorized by law or established in 
     board precedent--to accord liberal consideration to the 
     evidence and information presented by or on behalf of the 
     member or former member. In the view of the conferees, such 
     liberal consideration is particularly warranted in cases in 
     which official military records pertinent to the member's 
     application for relief have been destroyed or are otherwise 
     unavailable, through no fault of the member.

     appointment as a Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps 
     cadet under section 2107 of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Services already have the 
     authority to ensure qualified military service academy 
     applicants who do not receive an offer of admission are able 
     to receive a scholarship through the Reserve Officers' 
     Training Corps (ROTC). The Secretaries of the military 
     departments are encouraged to develop creative policies to 
     ensure that those young Americans who have demonstrated their 
     propensity to serve in the military by applying to a service 
     academy are able to qualify for and access ROTC scholarships.

         with military investigations and military justice
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 558) that would

     Military Investigation and Justice Experience Survey, on 
     the experience of members of the Armed Forces with 
     military investigations and military justice. Those 
     surveyed would include members of the Armed Forces who are 
     victims of an alleged sex-related offense and who made an 
     unrestricted report of that offense. Participants would be 
     surveyed on their experience with a Special Victims' 
     Counsel/Victims' Legal Counsel and, if charges in the 
     victim's case were referred to court-martial, with the 
     prosecutor and the court-martial in general.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department already has 
     implemented a Military Investigation and Justice Experience 
     Survey, and encourage the Department to continue to enhance 
     this survey; to monitor trends revealed by survey responses 
     and data over time; as appropriate, to take action to improve 
     military investigations, the Special Victims' Counsel/
     Victims' Legal Counsel programs, and prosecution processes to 
     address matters raised by survey responses and data; and to 
     include information and insights derived from the survey, 
     when salient, in future briefings and reports to the 
     Congress.

         academies
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560A) that

     United States Air Force Academy, and the United States Coast 
     Guard Academy, who may have committed minor collateral 
     misconduct, an opportunity to report an occurrence of sexual 
     assault without fear of discipline for that misconduct.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

         criminal misconduct
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560B) that 
     would direct the secretary of each military department to 
     prescribe regulations to require the Superintendent of a 
     military service academy to

[[Page H9771]]

     recoup the costs of advanced education received by a cadet or 
     midshipman who is separated from the Academy for reasons of 
     criminal misconduct, at any time prior to graduation.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that in accordance with section 2005 of 
     title 10, United States Code, and section 303a(e) of title 37 
     of the Code, the secretaries of the military departments 
     already are vested with authority to recoup the costs of 
     advanced education at a military service academy from a cadet 
     who is separated from the academy prior to graduation. As 
     appropriate, the conferees encourage the secretaries of the 
     military departments to require cadets and midshipmen 
     separated from a military service academy for criminal 
     misconduct to repay the costs of their advanced education, 
     even if the cadet or midshipman is separated prior to having 
     completed 2 years of schooling.
     Support of military service academy foundations
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560D) that 
     would amend chapter 155 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize service secretaries to provide support to certain 
     non-profit fundraising foundations that operate exclusively 
     to support military service academies.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the primary funding source for 
     military service academies remains appropriated Federal 
     dollars. Each academy currently receives significant 
     additional support from several dedicated non-profit 
     organizations. While academy superintendents may be formally 
     prohibited from engaging in fundraising on behalf of these 
     private organizations, that restriction helps to maintain a 
     healthy separation between the federally funded military 
     institution and private organizations that are not subject to 
     Federal oversight. The conferees are encouraged that the 
     current arrangement between the academies and their non-
     profit fundraising foundations has resulted recently in each 
     academy opening new, privately funded, facilities for cadet 
     and midshipmen athletics, character development, and cyber 
     education.
     Medical personnel at Marine Corps recruit depots
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 562) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Navy, in coordination with 
     the Navy Medical Department, to assign medical personnel to 
     the Marine Recruit Training Regiment at each Marine Corps 
     Recruit Depot.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Inclusion of Specific Email Address Block on Certificate of 
         Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 564) that 
     would modify the certificate of release or discharge from 
     Active Duty (DD Form 214) by adding an email address block.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Consecutive service of service obligation in connection with 
         payment of tuition for off-duty training or education for 
         commissioned officers of the Armed Forces with any other 
         service obligations
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 566) that would 
     amend section 2007 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require that an Active-Duty service obligation incurred by an 
     officer for the acceptance of tuition assistance for off-duty 
     training or education be served sequentially with any other 
     service obligation already incurred by the officer.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that section 2007 of title 10, United 
     States Code, requires officers who accept tuition assistance 
     to remain on Active Duty for a period of at least two years 
     after the completion of the education for which tuition 
     assistance was used. In fiscal year 2018, the Department of 
     Defense provided tuition assistance to approximately 15,000 
     Active Duty commissioned officers at a cost of almost $31 
     million. According to the Government Accountability Office, 
     around 10 percent of Army and Navy officers who last used 
     tuition in 2017 are now separated from the military. The 
     median number of years served after these officer's last use 
     of tuition assistance was 1.6 years for Army officers and 
     only 1.2 years for Navy officers. These statistics suggest 
     that tuition assistance may not be serving one of its 
     intended purposes, which is to provide a valuable benefit in 
     exchange for continued military service.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense in 
     consultation with the secretaries of the military departments 
     to conduct an analysis of the officer voluntary tuition 
     assistance program. The analysis should include: (1) An 
     evaluation of whether the tuition assistance program is 
     serving as a retention tool; (2) A discussion of the merits 
     of lengthening or requiring active duty service obligations 
     incurred as a result of accepting tuition assistance be 
     served consecutively with other service commitments; and (3) 
     An assessment of whether those officers who receive a fully 
     funded bachelor's degree through their commissioning source 
     should be eligible to receive voluntary tuition assistance 
     funding prior to the completion of their initial Active Duty 
     service obligation.
       The results of this analysis shall be submitted to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives by April 1, 2020.

     Business Administration, to establish a pilot program through 
     the Transition to Veterans Program office, within 90 days of 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, to foster contact

     the Transition Assistance Program (TAP). Additionally, the 
     provision would require the Secretary, in consultation with 
     the Secretaries of Defense and Labor and the Administrator of

     mailing address provided by the member. The provision would 
     require the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs to 
     maintain a database of all county veterans services officers.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 570F of this bill would 
     require the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs to 
     enter jointly into a memorandum of understanding or other 
     agreements with State veterans agencies to transmit 
     information from Department of Defense form DD-2648 on 
     individuals undergoing retirement, discharge, or release from 
     the Armed Forces, if elected by such individuals, to provide 
     or connect veterans to benefits or services.
     Notice to separating servicemembers of rights under the 
         Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

     Act (Public Law 109-189) to require service secretaries to 
     provide notice to individuals who are no longer eligible for 
     protections provided by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act 
     not sooner than 150 days and not later than 180 days after 
     the date of termination of a period of military service of 
     that individual.

       The House recedes.

     family members with special needs when requested in 
     connection to the completion of a family needs assessment.

       The Senate recedes.

     of Defense to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives no later than March 1, 
     2020, on the implementation of the Family Needs Assessment

     Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets who have taken the 
     oath but have not yet reported to their first duty station, 
     in the event of their death.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     Reserve Officers' Training Corps graduates to have received a 
     commission for the graduate's family to be eligible for a 
     casualty assistance officer.

                   Subtitle D--Defense Resale Matters

     Defense resale system matters (sec. 631)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 641) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
     Readiness, in coordination with the Chief Management Officer 
     of the Department of Defense, to maintain oversight of the 
     business transformation efforts of the defense commissary 
     system and the exchange stores system to ensure: (1)

     Secretary to maintain mandated patron savings when procuring 
     locally sourced products for commissaries.

       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 631) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct a review of the business case analysis performed as 
     part of the defense resale optimization study conducted by 
     the Reform Management Group, titled ``Study to Determine the

     receipt and acceptance of the findings of the Comptroller 
     General in the reports required under this provision.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     report requirement.
       The conferees note that the Senate Report accompanying S. 
     1790 (S. Rept. 116-48) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2020 requires the Comptroller General to 
     provide a similar assessment to the same committees not later 
     than December 1, 2019.

         Subtitle E--Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Privileges

     Extension of certain morale, welfare, and recreation 
         privileges to Foreign Service officers on mandatory home 
         leave (sec. 641)

                 Subtitle F--Reports and Other Matters

     Annual reports on approval of employment or compensation of 
         retired general or flag officers by foreign governments 
         for emoluments clause purposes (sec. 651)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1057) that 
     would modify section 908 of title 37, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretaries of the military departments to submit 
     annually to appropriate committees and Members of Congress, a 
     joint report enumerating each approval issued during the 
     preceding year for a retired general or flag officer to 
     accept civil employment or compensation for which the consent 
     of Congress is required by the last paragraph of Section 9 of 
     Article I of the Constitution, related to acceptance of 
     emoluments, offices, or titles from a foreign government. The 
     provision would require the first report to cover the 5-year 
     period preceding the year in which the report is submitted.
       The House contained a similar provision (sec. 609), with an 
     added requirement that the report be posted on a publicly 
     available Internet website of the Department of Defense no 
     later than 30 days after it has been submitted to Congress.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that each report be generated in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State, who takes final action on requests for 
     waiver of the prohibition on the acceptance of emoluments, 
     offices or titles from foreign governments, and removes the 
     requirement for public posting of reports.
     Report regarding transition from overseas housing allowance 
         to basic allowance for housing for servicemembers in the 
         territories (sec. 652)

     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees evaluating whether 
     members of the uniformed services located in the territories 
     of the United States should receive the Basic Allowance for 
     Housing instead of the Overseas Housing Allowance.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on extension to members of the reserve components of 
         the Armed Forces of special and incentive pays for 
         members of the Armed Forces not currently payable to 
         members of the reserve components (sec. 653)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5602) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on the feasibility and 
     advisability of paying eligible members of the reserve 
     components any special or incentive pay for members of the 
     Armed Forces that is not currently payable to members of the 
     reserve components.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Study regarding recoupment of separation pay, special 
         separation benefits, and voluntary separation incentive 
         payments from members of the Armed Forces and veterans 
         who receive disability compensation under laws 
         administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (sec. 
         654)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 608) that 
     would require the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs 
     to conduct a joint study on recoupment of various separation

     Report on implementation of contributions to the Department 
         of Defense Military Retirement Fund based on pay costs 
         per Armed Force rather than on Armed Forces-wide basis 
         (sec. 655)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 631) that would 
     amend section 1465 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretary of Defense to make contributions to the 
     Military Retirement Fund based on an actuarial calculation of 
     each service's planned pension obligations, beginning with 
     fiscal year 2021.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to deliver a report to the congressional 
     defense committees detailing an implementation plan for the 
     Senate-passed provision that would require service-specific 
     contributions to the Military Retirement Fund.
       The conferees note that requiring service-specific 
     contributions to the Military Retirement Fund will provide 
     valuable insight into the true costs of each military 
     department's manpower. The current system of Military 
     Retirement Fund contributions produces a disparity between 
     the services. Those services with fewer personnel who reach 
     full retirement eligibility, like the Marine Corps, 
     contribute more to the Military Retirement Fund than needed 
     to pay for retired marines' pensions. Meanwhile, those 
     services that have larger numbers of personnel who reach full 
     retirement eligibility, like the Air Force, effectively 
     receive a discount on their Military Retirement Fund 
     contributions.
       As each service updates its overall force profile to 
     support the National Defense Strategy and implements other 
     reforms, like those to the Blended Retirement System, the 
     conferees believe it is critical that senior leaders in the 
     DOD accurately account for the fully-burdened life-cycle cost 
     of each service's manpower plans.
     Report on food insecurity among members of the Armed Forces 
         and their dependents (sec. 656)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 602) that 
     would amend section 402 of title 37, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to pay a basic needs 
     allowance to a qualified servicemember.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representative 
     on food insecurity among members of the Armed Forces and 
     their dependents.


                   legislative provisions not adopted

     Basic allowance for housing for a member without dependents 
         when relocation would financially disadvantage the member
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 604) that 
     would allow the Secretaries of the military departments 
     discretionary authority to authorize a housing allowance 
     based on the old homeport or permanent duty station for 
     single members disadvantaged as a result of a unit's change 
     of homeport or permanent duty station, as long as the member 
     had orders returning to the previous homeport or duty 
     station.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note, in general, the Navy plans ship 
     homeport changes well in advance of the actual relocation 
     occurring. In the same way, the Navy should also plan 
     personnel movements related to homeport changes well in 
     advance in order to minimize

[[Page H9775]]

     disruption to sailors. The conferees note that current law 
     does not require Basic Allowance for Housing be based on a 
     ship's homeport, and would encourage the Navy to work with 
     the Department of Defense to develop a policy solution that 
     provides the necessary authority.
     Annual adjustment of basic pay
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 607) that 
     would require the adjustment in rates of monthly basic pay 
     required by subsection (a) of section 1009 of title 37, 
     United States Code, to take effect, notwithstanding any 
     determination made by the President.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Space-available travel on military aircraft for children and 
         surviving spouses of members who die of hostile action or 
         training duty
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 626) that 
     would amend section 2641 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     allow children meeting certain requirements and surviving 
     spouses of members of the Armed Forces who die as a result of 
     hostile action or training duty to use space-available 
     travel.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 2641b of title 10, United 
     States Code, authorizes the space-available travel program 
     and provides the Secretary of Defense with the ability to 
     extend eligibility for the program to any category of 
     individual the Secretary considers appropriate. The conferees 
     believe that space-available travel privileges should be 
     extended to spouses and children of servicemembers who die in 
     combat, if there is no impact on readiness or on the priority 
     appropriately afforded to members of the armed forces on 
     active duty and their families, in recognition of the demands 
     of active military service and the need for respite from such 
     demands. Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary to 
     report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives by no later than March 1, 2020, 
     on the scope of the population described in section 626 of 
     the House bill, the obstacles in providing this population 
     with space-available privileges, and whether an extension 
     of this benefit to such population would interfere with 
     the use of space-available travel by active duty members 
     and their families, particularly on the most traveled 
     routes.
     Report regarding management of military commissaries and 
         exchanges
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 632) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, regarding 
     management practices of military commissaries and exchanges.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Treatment of fees on services provided as supplemental funds 
         for commissary operations
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 642) that would 
     amend section 2483(c) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize retention of fees collected on services provided to 
     secondary patron groups, such as Department of Defense 
     contractors living overseas, by the Defense Commissary Agency 
     to offset commissary operating costs.
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5642) that 
     would cause section 642, and the amendment made by that 
     section, to have no cause or effect.
       The House amendment contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes.

                   Title VII--Health Care Provisions

           Subtitle A--Tricare and Other Health Care Benefits

     Modification of eligibility for TRICARE Reserve Select for 
         certain members of the Selected Reserve (sec. 701)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 703) that 
     would amend section 1076d(a)(2) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to modify eligibility for TRICARE Reserve Select for 
     certain members of the Selected Reserve after December 31, 
     2029.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     TRICARE payment options for retirees and their dependents 
         (sec. 702)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would 
     amend section 1099 of title 10, United States Code, to

     dependent, eligible for medical and dental care under section 
     1074(b) or 1076 of such title, be withheld, to the maximum 
     extent practicable, from the individual's retired, retainer, 
     or equivalent pay. The provision would authorize the 
     Secretary of Defense to determine the method and frequency of 
     payment when circumstances prevent payment through an 
     allotment from retired, retainer, or equivalent pay. The 
     amendments in this provision would apply to health care 
     coverage beginning on or after January 1, 2021.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     require the Secretary of Defense to establish and disseminate 
     clinical practice guidelines for health care providers in the 
     military health system on screening, testing, and reporting 
     of blood lead levels in children. The provision would require 
     the Secretary to provide blood lead level test results to a 
     child's parent or guardian, the State health department where 
     the child resides, or the Centers for Disease Control and 
     Prevention and the appropriate country if the child resides 
     outside the United States. Finally, the provision would 
     require the Secretary to submit a report to the congressional 
     defense committees, not later than January 1, 2021, 
     describing the number of children screened, tested, and 
     treated for elevated blood lead levels during the period 
     beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and ending 
     on the date of the report.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) that 
     would amend section 1077 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     prescribe certain times when a child should be screened and 
     tested for elevated blood lead levels during well-baby care 
     visits in military medical treatment facilities. The 
     provision would require the Secretary to share test results 
     similarly as prescribed in the Senate provision. In addition, 
     the provision would require the Secretary to submit a similar 
     report to the same committees by the same date and to require 
     the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a 
     report to those committees, not later than January 1, 2022, 
     on the effectiveness of screening, testing, and treating

     provision would require the Secretary to maintain records 
     regarding military housing and lead-based paint.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Exposure to open burn pits and toxic airborne chemicals or 
         other airborne contaminants as part of periodic health 
         assessments and other physical examinations (sec. 704)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 705) that 
     would amend sections 1145(a)(5) and 1074f(b)(2) of title 10, 
     United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to 
     ensure that periodic, separation, or deployment health 
     assessments provided to servicemembers include an evaluation 
     whether the member has been: (1) Based or stationed at a 
     location where an open burn pit was used; and (2) Exposed to 
     toxic airborne chemicals or contaminants, including any 
     information recorded in the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn 
     Pit Registry. The provision would require the Secretaries of 
     Defense and Veterans Affairs to enter into a joint memorandum 
     of understanding to share results of such assessments 
     regarding a servicemember's exposure to toxic airborne 
     chemicals or contaminants and to enroll such servicemember in 
     the named registry unless the member elects not to enroll.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 5702).
       The Senate recedes.

     amend section 1074f of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Department of Defense to include occupational or 
     environmental health exposures during deployment in its 
     medical tracking system. The provision would also require the 
     Department to provide healthcare providers with questions to 
     ask servicemembers about occupational or environmental health

         711)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that would

       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       Over the past four years, Congress has enacted several 
     provisions designed to guide the Department of Defense in 
     implementing a major reform of the military health system to 
     make it more effective, efficient, and less costly. These 
     enactments require replacement of the semi-autonomous 
     Service-run components of the system with a single 
     accountable organization, the Defense Health Agency, 
     responsible for managing an integrated health care system 
     that includes all military medical treatment facilities in 
     the direct care system, with a sharper focus on military 
     medical readiness, and the purchased care system, with an 
     emphasis on maximum value and the attainment of better health 
     outcomes for beneficiaries and the Department. Under this 
     construct, the responsibility of the military departments is 
     to recruit, retain, organize, and develop the military 
     medical force and to make it available to combatant commands 
     when needed to support military operations or otherwise to 
     the Defense Health Agency. The conferees are aware of a lack 
     of consensus in the Department on implementing the reforms 
     required by law but see no reason to change direction. The 
     conferees expect the Secretary of Defense to fully implement 
     the law and to accomplish these critically important reforms 
     expeditiously.

     and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

     same statute to require certain improvements to the IPO. The

       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned regarding the negative

     Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to develop 
     jointly a clinical practice guideline on exposure to airborne 
     environmental hazards, which would optimize patient care to 
     servicemembers and veterans exposed to such hazards.

       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 751) that 
     would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health 
     Affairs to establish a University Affiliated Research Center 
     and to partner with academic health centers to focus on 
     research to address the unique challenges of wounded 
     warriors.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Study on use of routine neuroimaging modalities in diagnosis, 
         treatment, and prevention of brain injury due to blast 
         pressure exposure during combat and training
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 752) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on 
     the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of routine 
     neuroimaging modalities in diagnosis, treatment, and 
     prevention of brain injuries among servicemembers due to 
     blast pressure exposures during combat and training.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

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

             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management

     Authority for continuous integration and delivery of software 
         applications and upgrades to embedded systems (sec. 800)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish initial 
     guidance, not later than 180 days after the enactment of this 
     Act, authorizing the use of special pathways for the rapid 
     acquisition of software applications and upgrades that are 
     intended to be fielded within 1 year. These new pathways 
     would prioritize continuous integration and delivery of 
     working software in a secure manner and prioritize continuous 
     oversight from automated analytics.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     801).
       The House recedes with amendments that would modify the 
     timeline for developing the guidance; allow for the use of 
     one or more

[[Page H9781]]

     pathways; clarify that first fielding of capability for 
     operational use shall occur within one year of the date funds 
     are first obligated for software development; and direct a 
     report on use of the authority and recommendations for any 
     changes to statute by October 15, 2020.
       The conferees commend the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment's commitment to adopting the 
     recommendations of the Defense Innovation Board. The 
     conferees emphasize that the ability to deliver meaningful 
     capability for operational use within one year is 
     foundational to the establishment of this authority and 
     associated procedures. The conferees remind the Department 
     that delivery of increments of useful software capability no 
     less frequently than every six months is not only a best 
     practice for software-intensive systems but it has also been 
     a standing government-wide requirement for years. Overcoming 
     the Department's institutional and cultural resistance to 
     delivering in a year or less requires ruthless prioritization 
     of features, which hinges on more effective cooperation among 
     stakeholders. The conferees also believe that cost estimation 
     and assessment and program evaluation methods are critical to 
     well-informed program oversight, and note that, for software 
     initiatives, such approaches remain nascent. The conferees 
     therefore direct the Director, Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation, in coordination with the Defense Digital Service 
     and the directors of developmental test and operational test 
     and evaluation, to incorporate lessons learned from the 
     implementation of sections 873 and 874 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, and sections 
     215 and 869 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2019 in the development of guidance and oversight 
     procedures for managing, estimating, and assessing software 
     programs. First, the conferees remind the Department of 
     flexibility already written into its directive and 
     instruction that the milestone decision authority and program 
     managers ``shall tailor program strategies and oversight, 
     including documentation of program information, acquisition 
     phases, the timing and scope of decision reviews, and 
     decision levels, to fit the particular conditions of that 
     program, consistent with applicable laws and regulations and 
     the time sensitivity of the capability need.'' Accordingly, 
     the conferees also remind the Department that the use of 
     source lines of code, or ``SLOC'', to estimate or to measure 
     productivity, is inadequate, inappropriate, and can be 
     detrimental in incentivizing bad code design. As such, the 
     conferees encourage the Department to implement the 
     recommendations on software metrics in the Defense Innovation 
     Board Software Acquisition and Practices Study. Finally, the 
     conferees request a briefing no later than March 30, 2020 
     from the Joint Staff on how the JCIDS process can be updated 
     to accommodate more flexibility given the iterative and ever-
     changing nature of present-day acquisition of software.
     Pilot program on intellectual property evaluation for 
         acquisition programs (sec. 801)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would 
     permit the Secretary of Defense and the Secretaries of the 
     military departments to jointly carry out a pilot program to 
     assess mechanisms to evaluate intellectual property in 
     acquisition programs.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     861(b)).
       The House recedes with an amendment which clarifies the 
     selection of programs and activities to be carried out under 
     the pilot.
     Pilot program to use alpha contracting teams for complex 
         requirements (sec. 802)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program 
     to use third-party industry, academia, or not-for-profit 
     technical organizations as part of alpha contracting teams 
     for complex technical requirements for services.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that this construct revives in a modern 
     context the ``alpha contracting'' concept that is more than a 
     decade old. Further, it brings together all government 
     personnel involved in the functions that support acquisition 
     actions, to include contracting staff as well as technical 
     staff, operators, and cost personnel. This is intended to 
     ensure that technical requirements are appropriately valued 
     and that the most effective acquisition strategy to achieve 
     these requirements is identified.
     Failure to provide other than certified cost or pricing data 
         upon request (sec. 803)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that 
     would modify section 2306a of title 10, United States Code, 
     to revise the conditions under which the Department of 
     Defense requires offerors to provide certain data. 
     Specifically, in a case where the head of contracting 
     activity determines the Department is the only buyer of 
     certain commercial items, it introduces a new requirement 
     for those offerors to provide cost or pricing data. 
     Further, in a case where the Department of Defense is 
     determining whether a sole-source offeror's price is 
     reasonable, the provision would direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to require that offeror to provide other than 
     certified cost or pricing data. The provision would 
     further direct the Defense Contract Management Agency to 
     propose which commercial products require should-cost 
     analysis before award.
       The House amendment contained a another provision (sec. 
     804) that would modify section 2306a(c) of title 10, United 
     States Code, and section 3504 of title 41, United States 
     Code, to give contracting officers, instead of the head of 
     the procuring activity, the discretion to request certified 
     cost or pricing data in cases where, although not required, 
     the contracting officer deems it necessary to determine price 
     reasonableness. The provision would further add commercial 
     items to the list of products where contracting officers may 
     request such data.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions, to instead modify section 2306a(d) of title 
     10, United States Code, to specify that offerors who do not 
     make a good faith effort to comply with a contracting 
     officer's reasonable requests for data other than certified 
     cost or pricing data are ineligible for award. The amendment 
     would also direct contracting officers, when determining 
     whether an offeror's price is fair and reasonable, to not 
     base that assessment solely on the historical prices paid by 
     the government. The amendment would further add a requirement 
     for the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to identify and report those offerors who denied 
     multiple such requests and nonetheless received awards, as 
     part of assessing whether to conduct should-cost analysis on 
     such products in the future.
     Comptroller General report on price reasonableness (sec. 804)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     submit a report not later than March 31, 2021, to the 
     congressional defense committees, the House Committee on 
     Oversight and Reform, and the Senate Committee on Homeland 
     Security and Governmental Affairs on the efforts of the 
     Department of Defense to obtain cost and pricing data for 
     sole source contracts for spare parts.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Limitation on transfer of funds related to cost overruns and 
         cost underruns (sec. 805)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 814) that 
     would repeal an annual requirement for the Secretary of each 
     military department to pay penalties for cost overruns on 
     major defense acquisition programs, which were then credited 
     to the Rapid Prototyping Fund.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make the 
     repeal effective beginning in fiscal year 2020.
     Standardizing data collection and reporting on use of source 
         selection procedures by Federal agencies (sec. 806)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 829) that 
     would amend section 813 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and section 880 
     of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) to repeal the 
     requirements for the Comptroller General of the United States 
     to provide annual reports on the government's use of lowest 
     price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection 
     procedures. The provision would also require revising the 
     Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) to capture more data 
     on the use of lowest price technically acceptable procedures.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Department of Defense use of fixed-price contracts (sec. 807)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to review how the Department of Defense uses 
     fixed-price contracts, including fixed-price incentive 
     contracts, to support acquisition objectives and brief the 
     congressional defense committees not later than February 1, 
     2020. The provision would further require the Comptroller 
     General of the United States to submit a report on the 
     Department's use of fixed-price contracts over time no later 
     than February 1, 2021. This provision would also delay the 
     implementation of regulations requiring the use of fixed-
     price contracts for foreign military sales until after 2020.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Repeal of continuation of data rights during challenges (sec. 
         808)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 812) that 
     would repeal section 866 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232), pertaining to revisions of authority for the 
     government to use non-commercial technical data during a 
     period of challenge, in an agency Board of Contract Appeals, 
     or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims under certain 
     circumstances.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees understand that the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and

[[Page H9782]]

     Sustainment is working with industry to address possible 
     policy modifications related to technical data rights and 
     their disposition during challenges. The conferees encourage 
     the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to continue these engagements and keep the 
     Congress informed of progress with respect to these matters.
     Repeal of authority to waive acquisition laws to acquire 
         vital national security capabilities (sec. 809)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 813) that 
     would repeal section 806 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     which allowed the Secretary of Defense to waive any provision 
     of acquisition law or regulation in certain circumstances.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department did not use the 
     waiver.
     Repeal of the Defense Cost Accounting Standards Board (sec. 
         810)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 834) that 
     would repeal section 190 of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

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

     Modification of Director of Operational Test and Evaluation 
         report (sec. 815)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that would 
     amend section 139(h) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to 
     solicit comments from the Secretaries of the military 
     departments for inclusion in the Director's annual report to 
     Congress, retaining the Director's discretion to issue the 
     report without comments if they are not timely. This 
     provision does not change or alter any Director of 
     Operational Test and Evaluation authorities.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     252) that would amend section 139(h) of title 10, United 
     States Code, to change the sunset date pertaining to the same 
     annual report.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     sunset date through January 31, 2025.
     Modification of written approval requirement for task and 
         delivery order single contract awards (sec. 816)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 
     amend section 2304a(d)(3) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     eliminate the requirement that single award task or delivery 
     order contracts over $100.0 million receive additional 
     approval when already authorized under one of the exceptions 
     to full and open competition.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Responsibility for data analysis and requirements validation 
         for services contracts (sec. 817)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) that 
     would amend section 2329 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     specify that the Secretary of Defense act through the Under 
     Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Director of Cost 
     Assessment and Program Evaluation to annually collect data on 
     the amount contracted for services procured by the Department 
     of Defense, which would be included in the Future Years 
     Defense Program submitted to Congress.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees note that Senate Report 116-48 accompanying 
     S. 1790 directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
     with the Chief Management Officer, the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the Secretaries 
     of the military departments, to identify updated approaches 
     for overseeing service contracts and address how these will 
     support the oversight, data analytics, and outcome measures 
     specified in section 2329 of title 10, United States Code. 
     The Senate Report further directs the Department to leverage 
     the expertise of the Chief Data Officer, to ensure that the 
     approaches identified align with and support the Department's 
     analytic capabilities. The conferees direct the Under 
     Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Director of Cost 
     Assessment and Program Evaluation to coordinate with the 
     parties identified as they carry out the efforts specified in 
     Senate Report 116-48.
     Documentation of market research related to commercial item 
         determinations (sec. 818)
       The Senate bill contained two provisions (sec. 809 and sec. 
     5802) that would amend section 2377(c) of title 10, United 
     States Code, and section 3307(d) of title 41, United States 
     Code, respectively, to require that market research for 
     commercial products and services be documented in a manner 
     appropriate to the size and complexity of the acquisition.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Availability of data on the use of other transaction 
         authority and report on the use of authority to carry out 
         prototype projects (sec. 819)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 826) that 
     would amend section 2371b of title 10, United States Code, to 
     add a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to report 
     annually to the congressional defense committees on the use 
     other transaction authority.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would revise 
     section 873 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-323) 
     to extend the requirement to 2023 and require data on the use 
     of other transactions are accessible to any official 
     designated by the Secretary of Defense.
     Notification of Navy procurement production disruptions (sec. 
         820)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to require prime 
     contractors of any Navy procurement program to report, within 
     15 calendar days of any contractor or subcontractor stop work 
     order or within 15 days of a contractor or subcontractor 
     manufacturing disruption that has lasted 15 calendar days, to 
     the respective program manager and Navy technical authority.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit such 
     notifications to programs procured with funds from the 
     Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy and Other Procurement, Navy 
     accounts.
       The conferees direct the Secretary to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees not later than 60 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act that details the plan 
     to implement this provision as soon as possible.
     Modification to acquisition authority of the Commander of the 
         United States Cyber Command (sec. 821)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 862) that would 
     modify section 807 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), which established 
     the acquisition authority of the Commander of U.S. Cyber 
     Command, to change the applicability of the annual limit to 
     new contract efforts.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical and clarifying 
     amendment.
     Extension of Never Contract With the Enemy (sec. 822)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would 
     extend the Never Contract With the Enemy program through 2023 
     and would provide for various expansions, including the 
     contracts covered and the authorities of the combatant 
     commands to mitigate threats posed by vendors supporting 
     operations outside the United States.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that maintains only the 
     program extension through 2023.
     Modification of justification and approval requirement for 
         certain Department of Defense contracts (sec. 823)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would 
     revise authorities relating to Department of Defense approval 
     of certain sole source awards to 8(a) firms, which include 
     tribes, Alaska Native, and Hawaiian firms. Specifically, the 
     threshold for requiring justification and approval would be 
     increased to $100.0 million and the approving authority would 
     be the head of procuring activity or a designee. The 
     provision would also require the Department to collect data 
     and the Comptroller General of the United States to report to 
     the congressional defense committees on the impact of the 
     provision.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     830).
       The House recedes with an amendment that clarifies details 
     of the Comptroller General review.
     Extension of sunset relating to Federal Data Center 
         Consolidation Initiative (sec. 824)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 895) that 
     would extend the sunset date of the Federal Data Center 
     Consolidation Initiative established in section 834 of the 
     Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) 
     from October 1, 2020, to October 1, 2022.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Pilot program to accelerate contracting and pricing processes 
         (sec. 825)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 807) that would 
     amend a pilot established in section 890 of the John S. 
     McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2019 (Public Law 115-232). That law authorized the Secretary 
     of Defense to reform and accelerate the contracting and 
     pricing processes for 10 programs on a pilot basis. The 
     amendment would remove the 10-program limitation and would 
     delay the program's sunset from January 2, 2021, to January 
     2, 2022.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Uniformity in application of micro-purchase threshold to 
         certain task or delivery orders (sec. 826)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899I) that 
     would amend section 4106(c) of title 41, United States Code, 
     to replace $2,500 with the micro-purchase threshold.

[[Page H9783]]

       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Requirement for cost estimates on models of commercial e-
         commerce portal program (sec. 827)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 891) that 
     would direct the Administrator of General Services to 
     establish a five-year program to test each of the three 
     models of commercial e-commerce portals before awarding a 
     final contract to a provider.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that replace the 
     requirement for a five-year test program with a requirement 
     for cost estimates, and directs that the estimates be 
     submitted within a year after the first contracts are awarded 
     under the program.
       In implementing this section, the conferees do not intend 
     to require the Administrator to provide independent 
     government cost estimates, but rather a range of potential 
     costs or a general order of magnitude for each model.

 Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs

     Modification of requirements for reporting to Congress on 
         certain acquisition programs (sec. 830)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 893) that 
     would exclude the selected acquisition reports required by 
     section 2432 of title 10, United States Code, from the 
     reports that will sunset under section 1080 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92). The provision would also require the Secretary of 
     Defense to propose an alternative for reporting the status of 
     major defense acquisition programs and other acquisition 
     activities that would include information on cybersecurity 
     tests, software development metrics, and quality metrics for 
     software.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     selected acquisition reports for any defense program 
     estimated to require a total expenditure of more than $300.0 
     million for research, development, test and evaluation or a 
     total expenditure of more than $1,800.0 million for 
     procurement through fiscal year 2021 and that would 
     clarify the requirement for the Secretary of Defense to 
     report on alternatives models and thresholds for 
     congressional reporting on acquisition programs.
     Pilot program to streamline decision-making processes for 
         weapon systems (sec. 831)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 808) that would 
     require the service acquisition executive for each military 
     department to recommend at least one major defense 
     acquisition program to participate in the pilot program to 
     streamline decision-making processes not later than February 
     1, 2020.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment to brief the congressional 
     defense committees not later than May 1, 2020, on the 
     acquisition programs selected for the pilot program, the 
     associated action plans and timelines for each program, and 
     the manner in which each program conforms to the required 
     elements of the pilot program.
     Analysis of alternatives pursuant to materiel development 
         decisions (sec. 832)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5803) that 
     would require updated guidance for analyses of alternatives 
     conducted pursuant to a materiel development decision for a 
     major defense acquisition program, to include requiring that 
     studies are completed within nine months; establishing 
     procedures to waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis; 
     and reporting late studies or the use of the waiver to 
     congressional defense committees.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
     assess how the Department conducts analyses of alternatives.
     Naval vessel certification required before Milestone B 
         approval (sec. 833)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would 
     require a certification of compliance with section 8669b of 
     title 10, United States Code, for naval vessel programs prior 
     to Milestone B approval.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

       Subtitle D--Provisions Relating to the Acquisition System

     Extramural acquisition innovation and research activities 
         (sec. 835)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(l)) 
     that would amend chapter 97 of title 10, United States Code, 
     to establish an academic center for acquisition innovation at 
     the Naval Postgraduate School to provide decision-makers with 
     academic analyses and policy alternatives for innovating the 
     defense acquisition system.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish extramural acquisition 
     innovation and research activities to include an acquisition 
     research organization within a non-Federal civilian 
     university or college, to provide and maintain essential 
     research and development capabilities through a long-term, 
     strategic relationship with the Department of Defense.
     Report on realignment of the defense acquisition system to 
         implement acquisition reforms (sec. 836)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing 
     to the committee on lessons learned through the use of the 
     authority provided under section 804 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) 
     commonly known as ``Middle-Tier of Acquisition,'' to include 
     certain risks and how the lessons are applicable to 
     procedures for acquiring major defense acquisition programs.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that instead require the 
     Secretary of Defense to report on ongoing efforts to realign 
     the whole Defense Acquisition System in response to recent 
     reforms--through changes to the 5000 series of directives, 
     instructions, guidance and procedures and to address certain 
     elements in the report.
       The conferees appreciate the careful consideration the 
     Department is giving to implementing the acquisition reforms 
     legislated through these Acts over the last five years. In 
     doing so, the conferees note that the Department of Defense 
     can no longer afford to use cost, schedule, and performance 
     thresholds as simple proxies for risk when designating the 
     path an acquisition program travels through the Defense 
     Acquisition System, and in organizing how programs are 
     managed and overseen. Exclusive attention to cost, schedule, 
     and performance of major defense acquisition programs and 
     other development programs obscures a myriad of other risks 
     in programs large and small, any one of which could be single 
     points of failure for successful acquisition. Such risks 
     include: technical risks such as engineering, software, 
     manufacturing and testing; integration and interoperability 
     risks--complicated by the implications of systems working 
     across multiple domains while using machine learning and 
     artificial intelligence capabilities to continuously change 
     and optimize system performance; operations and sustainment 
     risks--mediated by access to technical data and intellectual 
     property rights; workforce and training risks--to include 
     consideration of the role of contractors as part of the total 
     workforce; and supply chain risks--to include cybersecurity, 
     foreign control and ownership of key elements of supply 
     chains, and the consequences a fragile and weakening defense 
     industrial base, combined with barriers to industrial 
     cooperation with allies and partners pose for delivering 
     systems and technologies in a trusted and assured manner. 
     Finally, the Secretary's report under this section should 
     look ahead to consider the implications of these changes for 
     the acquisition of non-developmental items and the 
     implications of the shift in acquisition of capabilities 
     through development, to acquisition of capabilities ``as-a-
     service''.
       Based on the Secretary's report under this section, and 
     given the important role of the Comptroller General's annual 
     weapons assessment in enabling the congressional defense 
     committees' detailed oversight of the Defense Acquisition 
     System, the conferees also direct the Comptroller General of 
     the United States to brief the committees on how the 
     Department's efforts are informing the refresh of that annual 
     report as directed under section 803 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
     Report and limitation on the availability of funds relating 
         to the ``middle tier'' of acquisition programs (sec. 837)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 821) that 
     would amend section 804 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to ensure the Director of Operational 
     Test and Evaluation, the Director of Cost Assessment and 
     Program Evaluation, and the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Research and Engineering have access to certain data on 
     acquisitions carried out under the authority, and would limit 
     use of the authority to programs below the major defense 
     acquisition threshold unless the Secretary were to issue a 
     waiver. The House amendment also contained a provision (sec. 
     861(f)) that would direct the Secretary to submit a report 
     that would include the guidance required by section 804 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92) and, would limit the Department's ability 
     to obligate or expend funds on Middle Tier programs until 
     that report is submitted.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the 
     provision amending section 804, and, relating to the report 
     and guidance, would expand the limitation of funds beyond 
     acquisition programs, to the organizations which are parties 
     to the disagreements that are preventing the guidance from 
     being finalized.
       The conferees believe the difficulty the Department has 
     faced in reaching agreement illustrates the tension of 
     balancing empowered execution by the Services with 
     appropriate oversight by the Director of Cost Assessment and 
     Program Evaluation, the Director of Operational Test and 
     Evaluation,

[[Page H9784]]

     and the Under Secretaries of Defense for Research and 
     Engineering and for Acquisition and Sustainment, as well as 
     Congressional oversight. To address the latter, the conferees 
     direct the Defense Acquisition Executive and the Service 
     Acquisition Executives to notify the congressional defense 
     committees within 30 days of a decision to designate a 
     program to use the authority provided for under section 804 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2016 (Public Law 114-92). The conferees note the inability of 
     the parties to reach agreement on the use of this authority 
     threatens the momentum of the very initiatives that would 
     most benefit from it. The conferees encourage the parties to 
     focus immediately on the most critical issues, bring them to 
     resolution, and publish the guidance required by section 804.
     Report on intellectual property policy and the cadre of 
         intellectual property experts (sec. 838)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(d)) 
     that would amend section 802 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91; 
     131 Stat. 1450) by requiring the Secretary of Defense, acting 
     through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment, to submit a report on activities to 
     implement section 2322 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     include the composition and plans for the cadre, and the 
     policy on the acquisition or licensing of intellectual 
     property required. The provision would also limit the 
     funds the Department may obligate or expend until the 
     report is submitted.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a an amendment that would require 
     that the report include a description of the specific 
     activities performed, and the programs and efforts supported 
     by, the cadre of intellectual property experts and would 
     change the Department of Defense offices subject to 
     limitation of funds.
     Guidance and reports relating to covered defense business 
         systems (sec. 839)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(a)) 
     that would amend section 2222(d) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to require that guidance developed by the Department of 
     Defense for defense business systems includes policies to 
     ensure compliance with auditability requirements and 
     approvals. The provision would also establish due dates to 
     provide guidance related to covered defense business systems, 
     as well as due dates to provide the Department's information 
     technology enterprise architecture and related integration 
     plans and schedules. The provision would also limit the 
     availability of funds until such guidance, architecture and 
     plans are provided.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     limitation on funds and combine the reporting requirements 
     for the information technology enterprise architecture.
     Implementation guidance for use of a modular open system 
         approach (sec. 840)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(c)) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through 
     the Director of Cost Assessment and Performance Evaluation, 
     to submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
     that includes the study guidance required under section 
     2446b(b) of title 10, United States Code, and would limit 
     funding available if the report is not provided by the end of 
     2019. The provision would also modify section 2446c of title 
     10, United States Code, to require a policy on the support 
     for the acquisition for modular open system approaches 
     (MOSA).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead 
     modify section 2446b of title 10, United States Code, to 
     direct the Secretaries of the military departments to develop 
     implementing guidance for the requirements to address MOSA, 
     and as well would amend section 2446c of title 10, United 
     States Code, to direct the Secretaries of the military 
     departments to develop policies relating to the availability 
     of major system interfaces and support for MOSA.
       The conferees note the importance of policies in 
     implementing MOSA to the fullest extent. Therefore, the 
     conferees direct the Secretaries of the military departments 
     to submit a report to the congressional defense committee by 
     March 15, 2020, that includes the implementation guidance 
     required under section 2446b of title 10 and section 2446c of 
     title 10. Furthermore, the conferees note that MOSA should go 
     beyond the ability to exchange information broadly through 
     the adoption of standards. Therefore, the conferees direct 
     the Secretaries of the military departments to include in 
     their policy a description of the goals and anticipated 
     benefits of MOSA, with respect to maintaining and enhancing 
     competition across the life-cycle of systems and programs; 
     enabling systems to be more easily upgraded over their 
     lifetimes; more easily modifying or replacing components and 
     modules without the risk of adversely affecting software or 
     the functioning of other components and modules; achieving 
     interoperability among a wide range of systems, and thereby 
     enabling the creation of novel cross-domain and cross-service 
     kill chains.
     Limitation on availability of funds for the Office of the 
         Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense 
         (sec. 841)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(e)) 
     that would limit the fiscal year 2020 funds that may be 
     obligated or expended for the Office of the Chief Management 
     Officer of the Department of Defense until the date on which 
     the Chief Management Officer submits either a certification 
     of cost savings or the notice and justification described in 
     Section 921(b)(5) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2019.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

                  Subtitle E--Industrial Base Matters

     Modernization of acquisition processes to ensure integrity of 
         industrial base (sec. 845)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to modernize mitigation of 
     risks to the integrity of the supply chain, to include those 
     cited in recent studies on the defense industrial base.
       The House amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
     853, 855, and 892).
       The House recedes with amendments that would establish the 
     requirement for the framework in statute under section 2506 
     of title 10, United States Code; add certain systems to a 
     list of those being assessed; and provide further detail on 
     phased implementation and reporting on the framework.
       The conferees note that contracting is the mechanism by 
     which the Department of Defense operationalizes its 
     relationship with the defense industrial base/national 
     security innovation base. The conferees further note that the 
     Department's ability to maintain awareness of the sources of 
     procured items or materials, including the degree to which 
     the sources are foreign or domestic, are critical elements 
     for understanding supply chain risks. This is particularly 
     the case for items used in critical programs such as major 
     defense acquisition programs. The conferees believe that 
     certain risks to the defense industrial base are not being 
     appropriately considered. These include but are not limited 
     to risks associated with: insufficient insight into ownership 
     structures, fragile sources of supply, and cybersecurity 
     concerns, as well as contractors' violations of law 
     pertaining to fraud, human trafficking, and worker health and 
     safety. The conferees further note that, even where risks may 
     be a high priority, the existing acquisition processes and 
     procedures are not effective or timely in mitigating such 
     risks. As such, the provision would require the Department to 
     rigorously optimize the policy, processes, and procedures 
     throughout the contracting life cycle, beginning with market 
     research, responsibility determination, technical evaluation/
     award, mobilization, contract administration, contract 
     management and oversight (to include contractor business 
     systems reviews), and contract audit for closeout. It is 
     critical that this optimization incorporate modern sources of 
     data and methods to conduct appropriate and continuous risk 
     assessment for contractors doing business with DOD. The 
     provision would also require the Comptroller General of the 
     United States to coordinate individual reviews in these risk 
     areas, report on them collectively, and begin annual reviews 
     of the Department's progress in this area.
     Report requirements for the national technology and 
         industrial base (sec. 846)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(k)) 
     that would amend section 2501(a) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to establish a deadline for the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit an already-required strategy to Congress after the 
     submission of the national security strategy report required 
     under section 108 of the National Security Act of 1947. The 
     provision would also modify section 2504(3) of title 10, 
     United States Code, to require that the Department's annual 
     report to Congress on the national technology and industrial 
     base include a prioritized list of gaps and vulnerabilities 
     within the base.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that clarifies 
     requirements for the annual report to Congress, and that adds 
     a requirement to submit unfunded priorities for the national 
     technology and industrial base, ten days after the annual 
     budget is submitted to Congress.
       The conferees note that the national security strategy 
     developed by the United States for the national technology 
     and industrial base should leverage an analytical framework 
     that uses digital tools, technologies, and approaches to 
     inform decision-makers.
     Mitigating risks related to foreign ownership, control, or 
         influence of Department of Defense contractors or 
         subcontractors (sec. 847)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to amend policy and 
     regulation to take steps to enhance the process for assessing 
     and mitigating risks related to foreign ownership, control, 
     or influence (FOCI).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments.
       The conferees are concerned by the growing threat to the 
     integrity of the defense industrial base from strategic 
     competitors, like the Russian Federation, the People's 
     Republic of China, and their proxies, seeking to gain access 
     to sensitive defense information or technology through 
     contractors or subcontractors. The conferees recognize that

[[Page H9785]]

     there are existing efforts underway to understand and 
     mitigate some of these risks as directed by several pilot 
     programs including section 1048 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 and section 1969 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. 
     The conferees also recognize that the Defense 
     Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has 
     transitioned to a new mission and has taken on additional 
     responsibilities despite resource constraints. However, the 
     acquisition community must have greater visibility into all 
     cleared and uncleared potential contractors and 
     subcontractors seeking to do business with the Department. 
     The Department must ensure that contractors and 
     subcontractors do not pose a risk to the security of 
     sensitive data, systems, or processes such as personally 
     identifiable information, cybersecurity, or national 
     security systems.
     Prohibition on operation or procurement of foreign-made 
         unmanned aircraft systems (sec. 848)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that would 
     prohibit the operation or procurement of foreign-made 
     unmanned aircraft systems by the Department of Defense. The 
     House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 854, as 
     amended by sec. 899D) that would prohibit the Secretary of 
     Defense from operating or entering into a contract for the 
     procurement of certain unmanned aircraft systems.
       The House recedes.
       Additionally, the conferees encourage the Secretary of 
     Defense to take such action as necessary to strengthen the 
     domestic production of small unmanned aircraft systems (as 
     defined in section 331 of the FAA Modernization and Reform 
     Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-95; 49 U.S.C. 44802 note)), as 
     described under Presidential Determination No. 2019-13 of 
     June 10, 2019.
     Modification of prohibition on acquisition of sensitive 
         materials from non-allied foreign nations (sec. 849)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1411) that 
     would include tantalum in the definition of covered 
     materials. Additionally, the provision would expand the 
     National Defense Stockpile Manager's authority to not sell a 
     material if it is determined to not be in the national 
     interests of the United States.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     808).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Acquisition and disposal of certain rare earth materials 
         (sec. 850)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6401) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the 
     Defense Logistics Agency, to submit a report assessing issues 
     relating to the supply chain for rare earth materials.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     807) that would require the Department of Defense to 
     promulgate
     guidance on streamlined acquisition of items with rare earth 
     materials and allows exceptions to the Joint Capabilities 
     Integration and Development System Manual and Department of 
     Defense Directive 5000.01. The provision would also provide 
     authority for the disposal of tungsten ores and concentrates 
     contained in the National Defense Stockpile and acquisition 
     of other critical materials.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement to establish guidance on streamlined acquisition 
     of covered rare earth materials and would include an 
     assessment of rare earth supply chain issues.
     Pilot program for development of technology-enhanced 
         capabilities with partnership intermediaries (sec. 851)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 879) that 
     would authorize the Commander of U.S. Special Operations 
     Command to use not more than 5 percent of funds required to 
     be expended by the Department of Defense relating to small 
     businesses for a pilot program to increase participation by 
     small business concerns in the development of technology-
     enhanced capabilities for special operations forces. The 
     authority would terminate on September 30, 2021.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would revise the 
     authority of the Commander of the United States Special 
     Operations Command to use the greater of $2.0 million or 5 
     percent of funds required to be expended by the Department of 
     Defense relating to small businesses for the pilot program 
     and limits the scope to contracts and agreements to small 
     business concerns.
     Authorized official to carry out the procurement technical 
         assistance cooperative agreement program (sec. 852)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would 
     move the management and oversight of the Procurement 
     Technical Assistance Cooperative (PTAC) Agreement Program 
     from the Defense Logistics Agency to the Office of the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     880).
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Requirement that certain ship components be manufactured in 
         the national technology and industrial base (sec. 853)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
     would amend section 2534 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     would require certain auxiliary ship components to be 
     procured from a manufacturer in the national technology and 
     industrial base.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     large medium speed diesel engines for certain auxiliary ships 
     to be procured from a manufacturer in the national technology 
     and industrial base.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
     60 days after the date of enactment of this Act that details 
     the plan to implement section 844 of the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 115-232) as

     Defense to report on certain contracts for private security 
     performed in contingency operations since 2001, to include 
     data on costs, locations, civilians killed or wounded while 
     performing the work, and disciplinary actions taken against 
     the contractors.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would re-direct 
     the study to the Comptroller General of the United States, 
     and realign the substance of the review to evaluate 
     Department of Defense's efforts to improve its oversight of 
     contractors providing private security functions since 2009, 
     to include how it has implemented certain new industry-wide 
     law, policy, regulation, standards, and guidance.
       The conferees note the significant changes that have 
     occurred in the private security sector since certain reforms 
     were initiated following the final report and recommendations 
     of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in 2011.
     Prohibition on contracting with persons that have business 
         operations with the Maduro regime (sec. 890)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that would 
     prohibit the Department of Defense from entering into a 
     contract with any person or entity that has business 
     operations with an authority of the Government of Venezuela 
     that is not recognized as the legitimate Government of 
     Venezuela by the United States Government.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     897).
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on the Combating Trafficking in Persons initiative 
         (sec. 891)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that would 
     direct the Comptroller General of the United States to report 
     on the Department of Defense's efforts to combat trafficking 
     in persons through procurement practices.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1080A) that would require the Department of Defense to submit 
     a report to the congressional defense committees containing 
     an analysis of the Department's progress in implementing the 
     Combating Trafficking in Persons Initiative.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to analyze the Department's progress in 
     implementing the Combating Trafficking in Persons initiative 
     described in DOD Instruction 2200.01.
       Noting that the Department's report will provide further 
     information on the implementation of this program, the 
     conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States 
     to submit a report to the congressional defense committees on 
     the Department of Defense's overall efforts to combat human 
     trafficking not later than January 31, 2021. The required 
     report shall evaluate (1) the processes and procedures to 
     combat human trafficking in the Department's contracting and 
     supply chain policy, regulation, and practices, to include 
     the implementation of title 27 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) 
     and Executive Order 13627, as well as the nature and extent 
     of training for contracting officers on how to evaluate 
     compliance plans, monitor contractor adherence to the plans, 
     and respond to reports of noncompliance; (2) the progress of 
     the current trafficking in persons office within the 
     Department of Defense in leading the Department to address 
     all forms of human trafficking, the efficacy of such office 
     in identifying, tracking, and managing any and all 
     trafficking in persons cases, and what, if any, improvements 
     should be made to the office; (3) the process used by 
     contracting officers to evaluate compliance plans with 
     regards to preventing human trafficking and a description of 
     the remedies imposed by contracting officers in cases where 
     an allegation of human trafficking has been substantiated; 
     and (4) the process for reporting instances of human 
     trafficking to the Inspector General of the Department of 
     Defense and the disposition of those cases.
     Improved management of information technology and cyberspace 
         investments (sec. 892)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would 
     require the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer 
     (CIO) to work with the Chief Data Officer to optimize the 
     Department's process to account for, manage, and report its 
     information technology and cyberspace investments and would 
     require the CIO to brief the congressional defense committees 
     and to recommend any necessary legislative changes to the 
     committees not later than February 3, 2020.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense's process 
     to account for, manage, and report its information technology 
     and cyberspace investments--which account for at least $50.0 
     billion annually--is inefficient. Further, the conferees are 
     concerned that this process results in unnecessary delays in 
     preparing the annual budget exhibit and in regulatory 
     reporting required by the Federal Information Technology 
     Acquisition Reform Act of 2015, incorporated into the Howard 
     P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). After years of 
     legislation and regulation, the definitions pertaining to and 
     the methods for grouping and accounting for spending on these 
     investments have become cumbersome and obscure, and they 
     hinder, rather than facilitating, insight into and oversight 
     of spending plans and portfolio management. The briefing 
     provided to the committees should include alternative methods 
     for presenting budget justification materials to the public 
     and congressional staff to more accurately communicate when, 
     how, and with what frequency capabilities are delivered to 
     end-users, in accordance with best practices for managing and 
     reporting on information technology investments.
     Modification to requirements for purchase of commercial 
         leasing services pursuant to multiple award contracts 
         (sec. 893)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899B) that 
     would amend section 877 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232; 41 U.S.C. 3302 note) to extend the termination date 
     for the exemption for commercial leasing services provision 
     from 2022 to 2025 and change the reporting date of the 
     Comptroller General of the United States audit to every five 
     years.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would repeal 
     section 877 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 and would amend 
     section 3302 of title 41, United States Code, to add the 
     exemption for commercial leasing services as a new 
     subsection.


                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Modification to small purchase threshold exception to 
         sourcing requirements for certain articles
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 810) that would 
     lower the threshold at which the Department of Defense must 
     comply with the rules of section 2533a of title 10, United 
     States Code, known as the Berry Amendment, to $150,000.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Rates for progress payments or performance-based payments
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide 
     congressional defense committees with a notice of 
     determination and to notify the public through the Federal 
     Register before initiating changes to contract finance rates 
     for progress payments or performance-based payments.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Additional requirements for negotiations for noncommercial 
         computer software
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 824) that 
     would amend section 2322a of title 10, United States Code, 
     and codify existing Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations 
     on noncommercial software rights as well as mandate, to the 
     maximum extent practicable, that specially negotiated 
     licenses be used for weapon systems noncommercial software.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Competition requirements for purchases from Federal Prison 
         Industries
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 827) that 
     would amend section 2410n of title 10, United States Code. 
     This provision would create a requirement for conducting 
     market research before purchasing a product listed in the 
     Federal Prison Industries (FPI) catalog.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Enhanced post-award debriefing rights
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 828) that 
     would amend section 818 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), which required 
     post-award debriefings of the Department of Defense rating 
     for each evaluation criteria and overall award decision, by 
     reducing the award threshold for comprehensive debriefings 
     from $100.0 million to $50.0 million.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Preference for offerors employing veterans
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 831) that 
     would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     allowing the head of an agency to establish a preference for 
     offerors that employ veterans on a full-time basis when 
     awarding a contract for the procurement of goods or services 
     for the Department of Defense.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Reporting on expenses incurred for independent research and 
         development costs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 832) that 
     would amend section 2372 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require Department of Defense contractors to report

[[Page H9789]]

     expenses incurred for independent research and development 
     (IR&D) costs.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that IR&D is initiated and conducted by 
     Department of Defense contractors and the Department 
     reimburses a portion of industry's costs. The conferees 
     acknowledge that it is beneficial for the Department to 
     understand what technologies its contractors are investing in 
     beyond Department of Defense contracts. However, the 
     conferees note that there is an ongoing Comptroller General 
     review of recent changes to IR&D policies and the extent that 
     recently funded IR&D projects align with the Department's 
     modernization priorities as laid out in the National Defense 
     Strategy. The conferees encourage the Department to use the 
     findings from the Comptroller General's review as a basis for 
     its IR&D strategy going forward, including what information 
     is required to be reported by the contractor. Lastly, the 
     conferees remind the Department that it should share 
     information about contractor costs within the Department in a 
     continuous and strategic manner, including in coordination 
     with the Department's Chief Data Officer.
     Assessment of precision-guided missiles for reliance on 
         foreign-made microelectronic components
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 
     require the Air Force to assess its reliance on foreign 
     sources for all microelectronics in precision guided 
     munitions currently in production.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment, not later than August 31, 2020, 
     to brief the congressional defense committees on the reliance 
     of the United States Armed Forces on foreign sources for 
     microelectronics in precision guided munitions currently in 
     production. The briefing should identify whether the 
     microelectronics suppliers are single source or sole-source 
     providers as well as which tier subcontractors supply the 
     microelectronics. The briefing should also include an 
     evaluation of the cybersecurity risk to precision guided 
     munitions posed by foreign-made microelectronics.
     Reporting on expenses incurred for bid and proposal costs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 833) that 
     would amend section 2372a(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to require that contractors report expenses incurred for bid 
     and proposal costs annually to the Defense Contract Audit 
     Agency, who shall give access to the information to the 
     Principal Director for Defense Pricing and Contracting.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on requirements relating to consumption-based 
         solutions
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 835) that 
     would require the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition 
     and Sustainment to submit a report on requirements relating 
     to consumption-based solutions to the congressional defense 
     committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize the acquisition of supplies and 
     services is still evolving and believe there is a place for 
     consumption-based solutions. The conferees direct the Deputy 
     Secretary of Defense in conjunction with the Chief Management 
     Officer, the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment, and the Director, Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation, to report to the congressional defense committees 
     by March 15, 2020, on the feasibility of using consumption-
     based solutions as a procurement option to include 
     recommended definitions, processes, contract types, and 
     funding approaches.
     Supply chain security of certain telecommunications and video 
         surveillance services or equipment
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 851) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to consult with the 
     Federal Acquisition Security Council to comprehensively 
     assess policies and contractors' systems relating to 
     telecommunications and video surveillance services and 
     equipment from foreign suppliers; to mitigate risks through a 
     specific interagency debarment and suspension process; to 
     promulgate guidance; and to issue regulation containing 
     certain elements. The House amendment contained another 
     provision (sec. 852) that would require the Secretary of 
     Defense to procure certain telecommunications services or 
     installations of telecommunications infrastructure on 
     national security installations located on territories of the 
     United States in the Pacific Ocean, only from American-owned 
     or -operated companies, with a national security waiver.
       The Senate bill contained similar provisions, (sec. 831) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense to modernize 
     mitigation of risks to the integrity of the supply chain, to 
     include those cited in recent studies on the defense 
     industrial base, and (sec. 833) that would that would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to amend policy and regulation to 
     enhance the process for assessing and mitigating risks 
     related to foreign ownership, control, or influence.
       The House recedes with amendments to sec. 831 that would 
     direct the Secretary to recommend revisions to certain 
     statutory definitions, would more explicitly emphasize the 
     role of suspension and debarment in supply-chain security, 
     and would direct the Secretary to establish a process to re-
     assess companies who have addressed certain risks.
       The conferees acknowledge that establishing blanket 
     ``prohibitions'' in legislation can be well-intended and 
     effective in some aspects, while also having unintended 
     consequences. The conferees intend for the Department to be 
     pro-active rather than reactive, in securing its supply 
     chain. The conferees note there are multiple efforts in place 
     and underway at the Department to address supply chain risks, 
     and that similar efforts are being undertaken government-
     wide. The conferees encourage the Department to harmonize 
     these activities where appropriate in ways that do not 
     inhibit the Department from exercising its discretion in 
     areas of national security interest. In this regard, the 
     Department should pay specific attention to the procurement 
     of telecommunications goods and services for use on 
     installations in the Pacific Ocean.
     Revised authorities to defeat adversary efforts to compromise 
         United States defense capabilities
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 853) that 
     would strengthen defense supply chains by including security 
     as a primary purpose for Department of Defense acquisition.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note other sections of the conference report 
     that modernize the Department's supply chain risk mitigation 
     efforts by requiring the Secretary of Defense to develop an 
     analytical framework across the acquisition process, assign 
     risk mitigation roles and responsibilities to organizations 
     and individuals, and modernize access to data necessary to 
     assess risk across the acquisition enterprise.
     Supply chain risk mitigation policies to be implemented 
         through requirements generation process
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 855) that 
     would amend section 807 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to require the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop tools for supply chain risk 
     mitigation policies during the requirements generation 
     process.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 831) 
     which addressed this and several other matters pertaining to 
     the defense industrial base.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note the House provision was based on the 
     work of the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying 
     Acquisition Regulations established by section 809 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92). The conferees commend the work of the 
     Panel and note that, since the Panel was established, it has 
     made 98 recommendations across 3 report volumes and continues 
     to identify areas where United States Code can be reorganized 
     for clarity and efficiency. The Congress has enacted a number 
     of the recommendations from the first two volumes in prior 
     National Defense Authorization Acts and continues to 
     carefully consider the recommendations of the Panel.
     Size standard calculations for certain small business 
         concerns
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 872) that 
     would clarify that section 3(a)(2)(C) of the Small Business 
     Act applies to the Small Business Administration (SBA). The 
     section would align the size standards based on data to the 
     Small Business Runway Extension Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-
     324) by changing the calculation from 3 years to 5 years. 
     This section also would require the SBA to develop a 
     transition plan for small businesses and Federal agencies to 
     help them successfully navigate the transition from the 
     previous 3-year calculation to the new 5-year calculation as 
     mandated and would require that the System for Award 
     Management be updated accordingly.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Small Business Administration cybersecurity reports
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 875) that 
     would require the Small Business Administration to issue 
     reports that assess its cybersecurity infrastructure, 
     including determining the country of origin of its 
     information technology components, and report cyber threats, 
     breaches, and cyber attacks.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Cyber counseling certification program for lead small 
         business development centers
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 876) that 
     would amend section 21(a) of the Small Business Act by adding 
     cyber strategy training for Small Business Development 
     Centers (SBDCs) and require the Small Business Administrator 
     to establish, or certify, an existing cyber counseling 
     certification program to certify employees at small business 
     development centers (that

[[Page H9790]]

     have directly received a grant from the Administration) to 
     provide assistance to small businesses for planning 
     cybersecurity practices and strategies to respond to cyber 
     attacks. The Small Business Administration would be 
     authorized to reimburse SBDCs for employee certification 
     costs up to $350,000 per fiscal year.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Exemption of certain contracts from the periodic inflation 
         adjustments to the acquisition-related dollar threshold
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 877) that 
     would amend subparagraph (B) of section 1908(b)(2) of title 
     41, United States Code, to exempt certain contracts from the 
     periodic inflation adjustments to the acquisition-related 
     dollar threshold.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Phase 0 Proof of Concept Partnership program for the 
         Department of Defense
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 878(d)) 
     that would amend section 9(jj) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 638) to change references to ``The Director of the 
     National Institutes of Health'' to ``A covered agency head'' 
     which is defined as the Director of the National Institutes 
     of Health (NIH) for NIH Small Business Technology Transfer 
     (STTR) programs or the Secretary of Defense for Department of 
     Defense STTR programs.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Briefing on the Trusted Capital Marketplace pilot program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 885) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing 
     to congressional defense committees on the progress of the 
     Trusted Capital Marketplace pilot program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees understand that the Secretary of Defense is 
     intending to establish a Trusted Capital Marketplace pilot 
     program to link technology startup companies with trusted 
     sources of capital in areas relevant to defense missions. The 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing on the progress of the Trusted Capital Marketplace 
     pilot program to the congressional defense committees to 
     include plans for how the program will: align with critical 
     defense requirements; use the acquisition flexibilities 
     authorized under recent National Defense Authorization Acts; 
     be coordinated with other research and engineering technology 
     investment programs, including the Small Business Innovation 
     Research program; and be managed and resourced so as to 
     evolve into a stable, funded activity. The conferees direct 
     the Secretary to provide this briefing no later than 6 months 
     after the date of enactment of this Act.
     Boots to Business Program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 886) that 
     would codify and permanently authorize the Boots to Business 
     program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report and database on items manufactured in the United 
         States for major defense acquisition programs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 892) that 
     would amend chapter 144 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     inserting a new section requiring the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
     assessing the domestic source content of procurements carried 
     out in connection with major defense acquisition programs. 
     This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     establish an information repository for the collection of 
     domestic source content information.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Contractor science, technology, engineering, and math 
         programs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 894) that 
     would deem the cost of participating in certain science, 
     technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs an 
     allowable cost under a contract between the contractor and 
     the Department of Defense.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of developing a world 
     class cadre of technical talent who can perform critical STEM 
     job functions in both government and industry, including a 
     number which require security clearances. The conferees 
     believe that a strong partnership between the defense 
     industry and the Department of Defense can stimulate efforts 
     to increase that pool of STEM talent. Therefore, the 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
     arrangement with one or more academic institutions to study 
     and develop policy options and recommendations to promote 
     DOD-defense industry collaboration in STEM education 
     activities. The conferees note that these partnerships should 
     be primarily focused on developing collaborative DOD-industry 
     activities relevant to: creating a clearable technical 
     workforce to meet defense missions, supporting educational 
     opportunities for defense sector personnel in both government 
     and industry, and increasing educational opportunities for 
     veterans and military dependents. Further, the study should 
     focus on activities which are based on metrics and 
     education best practices to ensure maximum effectiveness. 
     The conferees direct that the study, accompanied by an 
     assessment and plan for the Secretary to implement the 
     recommended policy options, if appropriate, should be 
     delivered to the congressional defense committees no later 
     than October 1, 2020. The conferees direct that Secretary 
     to ensure that the study is developed in consultation with 
     industry, education experts, and all appropriate defense 
     organizations with expertise in STEM education.
     Report on cost growth of major defense acquisitions programs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 898) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     provide a report analyzing cost growth of major defense 
     acquisition programs to the defense committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives a report analyzing the cost growth of major 
     defense acquisition programs (as defined in section 2430 of 
     title 10 United States Code) during the 15 fiscal years 
     preceding the date of the enactment of this Act.
     Report and strategy on terminated foreign contracts
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899A) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress 
     a report on contracts performed in foreign countries for 
     which the contract was terminated for convenience because of 
     actions taken by the government of, or an entity located in, 
     the foreign country that impeded the ability of the 
     contractor to perform the contract.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Prohibition on contracting with persons with willful or 
         repeated violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
         1938
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899E) that 
     would require the head of a Federal department or agency to 
     initiate debarment proceedings for persons who willfully or 
     repeatedly violate the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 
     U.S.C. 201 et seq.).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Federal contractor disclosure of unpaid Federal tax liability
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899H) that 
     would amend section 2313(c) of title 41, United States Code, 
     to include information on any unpaid federal tax liability of 
     covered persons in the federal awardee performance and 
     integrity database.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program on payment of costs for denied Government 
         Accountability Office bid protests
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899J) that 
     would amend the pilot program established in section 827 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
     to require contractors to reimburse the Department of Defense 
     for direct costs incurred by the Department in support of 
     hearings to adjudicate bid protests. The provision would also 
     change the date on which the pilot program begins.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     GAO report on contracting practices of the Corps of Engineers
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899M) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct a study on the contracting practices of the U.S. Army 
     Corps of Engineers (USACE).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to conduct a study on the contracting practices of 
     USACE, with a specific focus on how USACE complies with and 
     enforces the requirement to pay prevailing wages on federally 
     financed construction jobs, as required by subchapter IV of 
     chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code (commonly referred 
     to as the Davis-Bacon Act). The study should consider the 
     following:
       (1) Any programs or protocols USACE has in place for the 
     purpose of carrying out its Davis-Bacon Act enforcement 
     obligations as set forth in the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation.
       (2) Any programs or protocols USACE has in place for the 
     purpose of identifying and addressing independent contractor 
     misclassification on projects subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.
       (3) The frequency with which USACE conducts site visits on 
     each covered project to monitor Davis-Bacon Act compliance.
       (4) The frequency with which USACE monitors certified 
     payroll reports submitted by

[[Page H9791]]

     contractors and subcontractors on each covered project.
       (5) Whether USACE accepts and investigates complaints of 
     Davis-Bacon Act violations submitted by third parties, such 
     as contractors and workers' rights organizations.
       (6) Whether USACE maintains a database listing all 
     contractors and subcontractors who have, in one way or 
     another, violated the Davis-Bacon Act and whether USACE 
     consults this database as part of its contract award process.
       (7) The frequency, over the last five years, with which 
     USACE penalized, disqualified, terminated, or moved for 
     debarment of a contractor for Davis-Bacon violations.
       (8) How USACE verifies that the contractors it hires for 
     its projects are properly licensed.
       The conferees further direct the Comptroller General to 
     submit a report that summarizes the results of the study, 
     with recommendations for legislative or regulatory action 
     that would improve the efforts of enforcing the requirement 
     to pay prevailing wages on federally financed construction 
     jobs, to the following committees not later than 1 year after 
     the date of enactment of this Act to: the Committee on 
     Education and Labor; the Committee on Armed Services; and the 
     Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House 
     of Representatives and the Committee on Health, Education, 
     Labor, and Pensions; the Committee on Armed Services; and the 
     Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
     Senate.
     Comptroller General report on defense business processes
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899N) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report on 
     the use of defense business processes.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Amendments to research project transaction authorities to 
         eliminate cost-sharing requirements and reduce burdens on 
         use
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5202) that 
     would amend section 2371(e) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to eliminate certain restrictions on the use of the authority 
     and associated funds.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that current law already permits the 
     Secretary to engage in research project transaction 
     authorities with cost sharing from industry that is less than 
     fifty percent of the total costs, as appropriate, to allow 
     for delivering performance with affordability and speed as 
     outlined in the National Defense Strategy. The conferees 
     believe the Secretary should use research project transaction 
     authorities to drive efficiency, adopt and implement new 
     ideas, and leverage leading practices from industry and 
     academia to positively impact and support acquisition, 
     personnel, research, and operational processes.
     Report on contracts with entities affiliated with the 
         Government of the People's Republic of China or the 
         Chinese Communist Party
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5801) that 
     would require a report concerning Department of Defense 
     contracts with companies or business entities that are owned 
     or operated by, or affiliated with, the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
     describing all Department of Defense contracts with companies 
     or business entities that are owned or operated by, or 
     affiliated with, the Government of the People's Republic of 
     China or the Chinese Communist Party.
     Investment in supply chain security under Defense Production 
         Act of 1950
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6018) that 
     would amend section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 
     to provide authority through the Defense Production Act for 
     the federal government to rapidly adopt supply chain security 
     measures if a national security need arises.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

      Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management

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

     Headquarters activities of the Department of Defense matters 
         (sec. 901)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 901) that would 
     repeal certain certifications, require a report on numbers of 
     employees in the National Guard Headquarters, provide modest 
     increases in the statutory caps on other headquarters 
     personnel, and sunset the requirements of section 346 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     the repeal of certain certifications and modify the increases 
     in the statutory caps on headquarters personnel with the 
     intent of enhancing the opportunity for civilian perspective 
     and advice to be considered in the balance on strategic 
     decisions regarding matters of the armed forces.
       The conferees are concerned about civilian-military 
     relations and note a perceived unhealthy drift in decision-
     making on strategic defense issues away from civilian 
     leaders. Therefore, the conferees urge the Secretary of 
     Defense to utilize the relief to existing limitations on 
     civilian personnel supporting the Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense in such a manner as to optimize enhancement of 
     civilian control of the military. For example, the conferees 
     note that section 922 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) assigned 
     additional authority to the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
     for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict (ASD SO/
     LIC). As such, the conferees expect the additional authority 
     and relief of limitations on civilian personnel will enhance 
     civilian oversight of U.S. Special Operations Command through 
     its `service secretary-like' role.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than January 1, 2020, to submit to the armed services 
     committees a report setting forth:
       (1) the total number of members of the Armed Forces and 
     civilian employees of the Department of Defense assigned to 
     support the Office of the Chief of the National Guard Bureau 
     and the National Guard Joint Staff;
       (2) a description of the headquarters staff of each 
     geographic combatant command, as well as each sub-unified 
     command and service component command under the geographic 
     combatant command, as of the following dates: October 1, 2014 
     and October 1, 2019. The description of the headquarters 
     staffs of the geographic combatant commands shall include the 
     number of military and civilian personnel who are authorized, 
     and the numbers assigned or detailed, to duty in, functions 
     of, or direct support to the headquarters element, including 
     a breakout of personnel by functional area as defined in 
     Department of Defense Instruction 5100.73.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than January 1, 2021, to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report setting forth the following:
       (a) A recommendation for the total number of members and 
     employees required for the Office of the Chief of the 
     National Guard Bureau and the National Guard Joint Staff to 
     execute the missions and functions of the National Guard 
     Bureau and the National Guard Joint Staff.
       (b) A recommendation for the number of military and 
     civilian personnel who are required in the headquarters 
     element to execute the missions and functions of each 
     geographic combatant command.
     Clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the Under 
         Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and 
         the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
         Engineering (sec. 902)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5902) that 
     would allocate the responsibilities of the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, a 
     position that was eliminated in the National Defense 
     Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017, between the two 
     successor entities.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     861(j)).
       The Senate recedes with amendments that include directing 
     the Secretary of Defense to issue guidance and a framework 
     for independent technical risk assessments (ITRAs), 
     clarifying prototyping responsibilities for the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, updating 
     the Executive Schedule level for the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Research and Engineering, and adding prototyping 
     responsibilities for the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment.
       The conferees note the benefit of having specific guidance 
     detailing the conditions in which the Department would 
     approve ITRAs conducted by independent organizations within 
     the military departments. The conferees therefore direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to issue the required ITRA guidance and 
     framework no later than March 1, 2020, and to provide a 
     briefing to congressional defense committees at that time.
       The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     further refine and elaborate the definitions of prototyping 
     to ensure that the Under Secretary of Defense for Research 
     and Engineering and the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment have clearly defined roles and 
     responsibilities, paying particular attention to the 
     activities executed under budget activity 4, and software 
     activities, which are likely to be difficult to determine.
     Return to Chief Information Officer of the Department of 
         Defense of responsibility for business systems and 
         related matters (sec. 903)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would 
     return the responsibilities for business systems from the 
     Chief Management Officer back to the Chief Information 
     Officer and would realign the Chief Data Officer to report to 
     the Chief Information Officer instead of the Chief Management 
     Officer.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

[[Page H9792]]

     Assessments of responsibilities and authorities of the Chief 
         Management Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 
         904)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5901) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to determine the manner 
     in which the Chief Management Officer directs the business-
     related activities of the military departments and determine 
     the responsibilities and authorities, if any, of the Chief 
     Management Officer for the Defense Agencies and Department of 
     Defense Field Activities. The provision would further direct 
     the Secretary of Defense, in light of these determinations, 
     to assign the responsibilities and authorities of the Chief 
     Management Officer and submit a plan to Congress for carrying 
     out these requirements.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with amendments that would require a 
     Secretary of Defense and an independent assessment of the 
     Chief Management Officer position, and associated reports on 
     those assessments with recommendations regarding the roles 
     and responsibilities of the Chief Management Officer.
       The conferees note the Department has faced significant 
     structural challenges in implementing the Chief Management 
     Officer position since its inception. Accordingly, it is the 
     conferees' intention to change the position from senior 
     executive schedule II to III and, pending the assessment 
     directed by this section, to disestablish the Chief 
     Management Officer position altogether. The conferees 
     therefore direct the Secretary to ensure the assessment 
     provided for in this section is sufficiently comprehensive to 
     allow for the reassignment of roles and responsibilities, as 
     well as the authorities that would be necessary for orderly 
     transition of such activities should the conferees decide to 
     do so.
     Senior Military Advisor for Cyber Policy and Deputy Principal 
         Cyber Advisor (sec. 905)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would 
     require the designation of a general or flag officer of the 
     Armed Forces to serve within the Office of the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Policy as the Senior Military 
     Advisor for Cyber Policy and, concurrently, as the Deputy 
     Principal Cyber Advisor.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Exclusion from limitations on personnel in the Office of the 
         Secretary of Defense and Department of Defense 
         headquarters of fellows appointed under the John S. 
         McCain Defense Fellows Program (sec. 906)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would 
     amend section 932(f)(3) of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232) to stipulate that an individual appointed to a 
     fellowship under this section shall not count against the 
     limitation on the number of Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense personnel in section 143 of title 10, United States 
     Code, or any similar limitation in law on the number of 
     personnel in headquarters of the Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Subtitle B--Organization and Management of Other Department of Defense 
                          Offices and Elements

     Codification of Assistant Secretaries for Energy, 
         Installations, and Environment of the Army, Navy, and Air 
         Force (sec. 911)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 911) that would 
     amend sections 3016(a), 5016(a), and 8016(a) of title 10, 
     United States Code, to require that each military department 
     maintain an assistant secretary for energy, installations, 
     and environment.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     911).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

  Subtitle C--Other Department of Defense Organization and Management 
                                Matters

     Prohibition on ownership or trading of stocks in certain 
         companies by certain officials of the Department of 
         Defense (sec. 921)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1034) that 
     would prohibit Department of Defense officials who 
     participated personally and substantially in an acquisition 
     valued in excess of $10.0 million who occupy a position on 
     the Executive Schedule, are a member of the Senior Executive 
     Service, a General or Flag Officer, or who served as a 
     program manager, deputy program manager, procuring 
     contracting officer, administrative contracting officer, 
     source selection authority, member of a source selection 
     evaluation board, or chief of a financial or technical 
     evaluation team for a contract in excess of $10.0 million, 
     from owning or trading a publicly traded stock of a company 
     that, during the preceding calendar year, received more than 
     $1.0 billion in revenue from the Department of Defense, 
     including through contracts with the Department.
       Further, the provision would direct that no officer or 
     employee of the Department of Defense may own or trade a 
     publicly traded stock of a company that is a contractor or 
     subcontractor of the Department, if the Standards of Conduct 
     Office of the Office of the General Counsel of the Department 
     of Defense determines that the value of the stock may be 
     directly or indirectly influenced by any official act of that 
     officer or employee.
       Any official who knowingly fails to comply with these 
     requirements would be subject to administrative action by the 
     Secretary of Defense. The definition of publicly traded stock 
     would not include a widely-held investment fund, for purposes 
     of this provision.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit an 
     individual serving in a key acquisition position in the 
     Department of Defense who is: (1) A civilian officer or 
     employee in a Senior Executive Service, Senior-Level, or 
     Scientific or Professional position; or (2) A member of the 
     Armed Forces in a grade above O-6, from owning or purchasing 
     publicly traded stock of a company that is one of the ten 
     entities awarded the most amount of contract funds by the 
     Department of Defense in a fiscal year during the five 
     preceding fiscal years. This same prohibition would apply to 
     any civilian appointed to a position in the Department of 
     Defense by the President, by and with the advice and consent 
     of the Senate.
       The prohibition would not apply if the aggregate market 
     value of the stock holdings ascribed to the individual 
     officer, employee, member of the Armed Forces, or appointee 
     does not exceed the de minimis threshold established in the 
     Code of Federal Regulations, or if the stock is purchased and 
     owned as part of an Excepted Investment Fund or mutual fund.
     Limitation on consolidation of Defense Media Activity (sec. 
         922)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 912) that 
     would prohibit funds authorized or appropriated for the 
     Department of Defense to be used to consolidate the Defense 
     Media Activity until 180 days after the Secretary of Defense 
     submits a report that includes any plans to consolidate the 
     Defense Media Activity.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     funding limitation, direct the Secretary of Defense not to 
     take any actions to consolidate the Defense Media Activity 
     until 60 days after submitting the required report, and 
     change the definition of consolidation.
     Report on resources to implement the civilian casualty policy 
         of the Department of Defense (sec. 923)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 922) that would 
     require, not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense to submit to 
     the congressional defense committee a report on the resources 
     necessary to fulfill the requirements of section 936 of the 
     John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) over the future years defense 
     plan.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                 Subtitle D--United States Space Force

     United States Space Force Act (secs. 951-961)
       The Senate bill contained a series of provisions (sec. 
     1601-1608) that would establish the United States Space Force 
     (USSF) within the Department of the Air Force and make 
     changes to the organization of, authorities of, and 
     acquisition associated with space forces assigned to the 
     Department of Defense (DOD).
       The House amendment contained a similar series of 
     provisions (sec. 921-925) that would establish a U.S. Space 
     Corps within the Department of the Air Force.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would enact the 
     United States Space Force Act. The amendment would modify 
     title 10, United States Code, to establish the United States 
     Space Force as an Armed Force within the Department of the 
     Air Force. The amendment would make multiple technical and 
     conforming changes necessary to fully establish the United 
     States Space Force in title 10, United States Code.
       The Space Force would include military personnel of the Air 
     Force Space Command and other military personnel of the Air 
     Force as assigned to the Space Force by the Secretary of the 
     Air Force. The amendment would prohibit the authorization of 
     additional military billets. The conferees expect that the 
     Space Force would be supported by civilian personnel within 
     the Department of the Air Force and by Air Force Reserve 
     elements, as determined by the Secretary of the Air Force. 
     The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     provide to the congressional defense committees a total force 
     management plan in support of the Space Force. The report 
     shall be delivered not later than 90 days after the enactment 
     of this Act.
       The amendment would designate the commander of the Space 
     Force as the Chief of Space Operations (CSO), appointed by 
     the President and confirmed by the Senate. The CSO's rank 
     would be that of general with a 4-year term of command. The 
     CSO could be the incumbent Commander, Air Force Space 
     Command, without further appointment. The CSO would report 
     directly to the Secretary of the Air Force upon enactment of 
     this Act. After 1 year, the CSO would be a member of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff. The amendment would provide the 
     Secretary of Defense with the temporary authority to 
     establish a dual-hatted arrangement wherein the CSO, for the 
     first year after enactment, would also serve as the 
     Commander, U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM).

       The conferees expect the Space Force and its supporting 
     elements to be the exclusive source of personnel of the 
     Department of the Air Force to be assigned, by the CSO, to 
     the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), unless otherwise 
     specified by the Secretary of the Air Force.
       The amendment would establish the position of the Assistant 
     Secretary of Defense (ASD) for Space Policy within the Office 
     of the Secretary of Defense. The amendment would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into an agreement with 
     a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) to 
     develop recommendations on the appropriate elements of the 
     Office of the ASD for Space Policy, including, in particular, 
     whether to include space capabilities and programs currently 
     assigned to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Intelligence or in the Military Intelligence Program. The 
     Secretary would submit to the congressional defense 
     committees such recommendations, together with an assessment 
     of those recommendations, not later than 180 after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act.
       The amendment would rename the Principal Assistant to the 
     Secretary of the Air Force for Space as the Assistant 
     Secretary for Space Acquisition and Integration (ASAF/SP), 
     who would report directly to the Secretary of the Air Force 
     and serve as the senior architect for space systems and 
     programs across the Department of Defense, providing advice 
     to the service acquisition executive (SAE) of the Air Force 
     (the existing Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
     Acquisition). The ASAF/SP would oversee and direct the Space 
     Rapid Capabilities Office, the Space and Missile Systems 
     Center, and the Space Development Agency, providing fiscal 
     and strategic guidance to the organizations. Effective 
     October 1, 2022, the ASAF/SP would also become the SAE for 
     Space Systems and Programs, which would include all space 
     acquisition activities within the Air Force. All space 
     acquisition projects currently managed by the Assistant 
     Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition would be 
     transitioned to the ASAF/SP in the role of SAE for Space 
     Systems and Programs, therefore providing for two SAEs 
     reporting to the Secretary of the Air Force. The ASAF/SP 
     would require confirmation by the Senate for this additional 
     role.
       The conferees note that the Deputy Secretary of Defense did 
     not submit to the congressional defense committees the plan 
     required by section 1601(b) of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232). Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
     the Air Force to provide to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on whether and, if so, how to implement 
     an alternative acquisition system, due not later than March 
     31, 2020. The report should include an assessment of the 
     feasibility of a new acquisition system specifically tailored 
     for space systems and programs, including with respect to 
     procuring space vehicles, ground segments relating to such 
     vehicles, and satellite terminals. The plan shall include 
     recommendations with respect to whether the alternative 
     acquisition system described in the plan should use the 
     Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System 
     process or instead use a new requirements process 
     developed in a manner that ensures that requirements for a 
     program are synchronized across the space vehicles and 
     ground segments. It should also consider how such a system 
     can achieve faster acquisition and more rapid fielding of 
     critical systems, including by using new commercial 
     capability. The conferees also direct the Secretary to 
     submit, not later than 120 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, to the congressional defense committees a report 
     with recommendations on the integration of acquisition 
     authority for the NRO into acquisition authority of the 
     Air Force for space systems and programs.
       The amendment would also establish a Space Force 
     Acquisition Council (SAC) within the Office of the Secretary 
     of the Air Force that would oversee, direct, and manage Air 
     Force acquisitions for space in order to ensure integration 
     across the national security space enterprise. The SAC would 
     meet not less frequently than monthly. The amendment would 
     establish the ASAF/SP as the chair of Council. The Under 
     Secretary of the Air Force, the Director of the NRO, the CSO, 
     the ASD for Space Policy and the Commander, SPACECOM, would 
     also be members of the Council. The amendment would require 
     the SAC to submit quarterly reports to the congressional 
     defense committees through the first calendar year quarter of 
     2025 on the activities of the Council.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force and 
     Secretary of Defense to submit the following reports and 
     briefings to the congressional defense committees on the 
     establishment of the United States Space Force:

     will coordinate with SPACECOM and other space elements of the 
     Armed Forces;
       (2) A report and accompanying briefing on the anticipated 
     funding requirements for the establishment of the Space Force 
     and for its operations and activities from fiscal year 2021 
     through fiscal year 2025, to be submitted by the Secretary of 
     Defense not later than February 1, 2020. The report should 
     include the budget activity, line number, line item, line 
     item title, and a description of the requirements specific to 
     the Space Force for each account of the following:
       (a) Procurement accounts;
       (b) Research, development, test, and evaluation accounts;
       (c) Operation and maintenance accounts; and

     any expenditures and proposed appropriations not included, an 
     explanation with a level of detail at least equivalent to the 
     level of detail provided in the future year's defense program 
     submitted to Congress. The report may be submitted in 
     unclassified form, but may include a classified annex;
       (3) A report setting forth a comprehensive legislative 
     proposal for amendments to the laws under the jurisdiction of 
     the congressional defense committees to fully integrate the 
     Space Force as an Armed Force, and the regular and reserve 
     military and the civilian personnel of the Space Force, into 
     current law, to be submitted by the Secretary of Defense not 
     later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act;
       (4) A plan to ensure the quality of the military and

       (i) Identification of overlap among the operations and 
     acquisition career fields to identify opportunities for 
     cross-functional careers.
     The Secretary should submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on such plan not later than 180 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense, in

     Intelligence Agency (NGA), and SPACECOM for joint operations. 
     This report should be submitted not later than 180 days after 
     the enactment of this Act.
       Finally, this amendment would limit the total amount of 
     funds to be obligated and expended in fiscal year 2020 for 
     the establishment of the Space Force to the amount requested 
     for the Space Force in the President's budget request for

     appropriate standards of care to the detainees at Guantanamo. 
     This provision would also express the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of Defense should take into account the

         government employment of former Department of Defense 
         officials
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1060) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     update a prior report on the post-government employment of 
     former Department of Defense officials.

       The Senate recedes.

     States to initiate a review, not later than 90 days after the

     and findings set forth in the Government Accountability 
     Office report entitled ``Defense Contracting: Post-Government 
     Employment of Former DOD Officials Needs Greater 
     Transparency'' (GAO-08-485), and to provide an interim 
     briefing on the status of the review to the Committees on

     not later than December 31, 2020, with a report to follow by

     Elimination of requirement to submit reports to Congress in 
         paper format
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1062) that

     required by the Congress in an electronic format rather than 
     a paper format.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to deliver to

     Representatives reports required by Congress in electronic 
     format only. This practice will begin on a date mutually 
     agreed upon by the Secretary and the committee. This change 
     does not apply to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     Senate. By eliminating the requirement of the delivery of 
     congressional reports in paper format, the conferees believe 
     the Department of Defense will be able to streamline the 
     reporting process both within the Department and in delivery 
     of its reports to the Congress. This process would only apply 
     to unclassified reports.
       Additionally, the conferees note that the Department is 
     required by section 122a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     ensure that reports are made available to the public, to the 
     maximum extent practicable, by posting the reports on a 
     publicly accessible website. The Committee on Armed Services 
     of the Senate continues to explore means of reducing the 
     administrative burden to the Department associated with 
     generating and delivering hard copy paper reports to the U.S. 
     Senate, however success in this endeavor is contingent on the 
     Department's compliance with section 122a of title 10, United 
     States Code.

     Secretary to fund long-term sustainment and operation and 
     maintenance of MAFFS capabilities, including plans for the 
     National Guard Bureau to submit program objective memoranda 
     for funding for lifetime costs to the Department of Defense 
     to be included in future Department of Defense Budget 
     Requests, including the feasibility of establishing a 
     dedicated program-of-record.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on policies relating to small farms
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1077) that 
     would require the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the 
     Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on policies 
     relating to small farms.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the DLA and DeCA to submit a report on 
     the programs, policies, and practices of the DLA and DeCA 
     relating to small farms, farms owned by new and beginning 
     farmers, and farmers who are veterans or minorities not later 
     than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act to 
     the congressional defense committees. The report should 
     include a description of opportunities and barriers to 
     expanding the use of such programs, policies, or practices.
     Report on financial costs of overseas United States military 
         posture and operations
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1079) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on the financial costs 
     of U.S. military posture and operations overseas.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense currently 
     provides an annual budget exhibit that describes the country-
     by-country costs of maintaining overseas posture,

[[Page H9799]]

     which estimated worldwide posture costs of just over $24.0 
     billion in fiscal year 2019. However, the exhibit excludes 
     considerable costs such as those borne in overseas 
     contingency accounts and does not account for host nation 
     contributions, either cash or in-kind, or contributions from 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a comprehensive report with the budget submission, or 
     not later than February 15, 2020, to the congressional 
     defense committees on the actual costs of maintaining the 
     overseas posture and presence of the U.S. Armed Forces in 
     fiscal year 2019. The report should address the financial 
     costs incurred by the United States, as well as financial and 
     in-kind contributions made by host-countries and multilateral 
     organizations like NATO, related to overseas enduring and 
     contingency infrastructure and the presence of permanent and 
     rotational U.S. Armed Forces.
       Additionally, the conferees direct the Comptroller General 
     of the United States to review the Department's report to 
     determine whether it accurately captures the full costs of 
     overseas posture and host nation contributions and to submit 
     a report to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than 180 days after the Department's report is submitted to 
     the committees.
     Public availability of Chief Management Office annual budget 
         reports
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1080B) that 
     would amend section 132a(c)(1)(B) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to require that the Chief Management Officer's reports 
     on Defense Agency and Department of Defense Field Activity 
     proposed budgets for enterprise business operations be made 
     publicly available on an internet website in a searchable 
     format.

     and submission of the report by not later than January 31, 
     2020.

     authorize the inclusion on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall 
     in the District of Columbia, of the names of the 74 crew

     family members of the crew, and their unflagging dedication 
     to sustaining the memory of their Fallen loved ones.
       The conferees note that there is an established process for 
     adding the names of servicemembers to the Vietnam Veterans 
     Memorial Wall. The conferees believe this process should be

     in Fiscal Year 2016. The conferees note the importance of

     combat. The conferees also acknowledge that not all tactical 
     explosive detection dogs were adopted by their former soldier 
     handlers and encourage the Army and other government 
     agencies, including law enforcement agencies, with such dogs 
     to prioritize adoption to their former handlers. Lastly, the 
     conferees recognize the efforts of Congressman Walter B.

     basis for the use of force in 19 countries, well beyond the 
     scope that Congress initially intended. Further, the 
     provision would convey the sense of Congress that any new 
     authorization for the use of force should include: (1) A 
     sunset clause and timeframe within which Congress should 
     revisit the authority provided; (2) A clear and specific

       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of understanding why

     of cancelled federal appropriations and to provide a briefing

     Committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives no

     appropriations differed significantly across agencies or over 
     time, the extent to which cancelled appropriations are 
     correlated with obligation rates, and the extent to which 
     cancelled appropriations are correlated with the length of 
     continuing resolutions in the original year of the 
     appropriation.
     Inclusion of progress of the Department of Defense in 
         achieving auditable financial statements in annual 
         reports on the Financial Improvement and Audit 
         Remediation Plan
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6003) that 
     would amend section 240b(b)(1)(B) of title 10, United States 
     Code, by requiring that a ranking of each military department 
     and Defense Agency be included in the annual report in order 
     of its current progress in achieving auditable financial 
     statements. The provision further requires that additional 
     information be provided for each military department or 
     Defense Agency ranked in the bottom quartile.

     Comptroller General of the United States report on the 
         effects of continuing resolutions on readiness and 
         planning of the Department of Defense
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6011) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     provide a report to the congressional defense committees on 
     the effects of continuing resolutions on the readiness and 
     financial efficiency of the Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense has spent 
     more than 1,000 days under continuing resolutions over the 
     past 10 years. Despite strong anecdotal evidence of negative 
     readiness effects and significant financial waste created by 
     continuing resolutions, a comprehensive tally of their costs, 
     direct and indirect, has not yet been performed. Therefore, 
     the conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to deliver a briefing to the congressional defense 
     committees and the Budget Committees of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives no later than March 1, 2020, with a 
     report to follow by a date agreed at the time of the 
     briefing.
       The report shall examine (1) the extent to which continuing 
     resolutions impact Department of Defense purchasing power; 
     (2) the extent to which preparing for and operating under 
     continuing resolutions negatively affect the efficient usage 
     of personnel time, including that of Senior Executive Service 
     personnel and general and flag officers; (3) the extent to 
     which continuing resolutions negatively affect the 
     Department's ability to hire; (4) the extent to which the 
     Department has requested and received anomalies for 
     continuing resolutions since 2010; (5) the extent to which 
     continuing resolutions have delayed acquisition programs; (5) 
     the extent to which the Department has experienced funding 
     misalignments between appropriations accounts due to 
     continuing resolutions.

     clarify that civilian personnel of the Department of Defense 
     may not be managed on the basis of man-years, end strength, 
     or full-time equivalent positions, or maximum number of 
     employees, and instead will be managed based on the total 
     force management policies and procedures established under 
     section 129a of title 10, United States Code, the workload 
     required to carry out the functions and activities of the 
     Department, and the funds made available to the Department 
     for each fiscal year.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     the Secretary of Defense from managing Department of Defense 
     civilian personnel primarily on the basis of man-years or end 
     strength.
     One-year extension of temporary authority to grant 
         allowances, benefits, and gratuities to civilian

     Foreign Service to the agency's civilian employees on 
     official duty in a combat zone.
       The House bill contained an identical provision (sec.1104).
       The conference agreement contains this provision.

     would amend section 1101 of the Duncan Hunter National

     110-417), as most recently amended by section 1104 of the 
     John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232), to extend through 2020 the 
     authority of heads of executive agencies to waive limitations 
     on the aggregate of basic and premium pay of employees who 
     perform work in an overseas location that is in the area of 
     responsibility of the commander of U.S. Central Command 
     (CENTCOM), or a location that was formerly in CENTCOM but is 
     now in the area of responsibility of the Commander, U.S. 
     Africa Command, in support of a military operation or an 
     operation in response to a declared emergency.

     would amend section 129a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     ensure that before the Secretary of a military department

       The conferees note Section 1111 of the National Defense

     departments to waive the restriction on the appointment of 
     retired members of the Armed Forces to positions in the civil

     relevant statute provides a straightforward process to the 
     Secretaries of the military departments in the event that 
     they wish to hire retired servicemembers within the 180-day 
     post-retirement timeframe. The conferees urge the Department 
     of Defense to make full use of the existing, and 
     longstanding, process for hiring recently retired 
     servicemembers, consistent with applicable law, policy, and

     fighters in accordance with the Laws of Armed Conflict and 
     Geneva Conventions. The provision would also expand certain 
     reporting requirements.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1222) that 
     would extend and modify section 1209 of the FY 2015 NDAA by 
     extending the authority to support vetted Syrian opposition 
     through December 30, 2020.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     purposes of the authority. Further, the amendment would 
     modify the notification before provision of assistance, the 
     matters to be included in quarterly progress reports, the 
     authority to accept contributions, and the limitation on the 
     cost of construction and repair projects. Finally, the 
     amendment would place a limitation on the obligation of funds 
     pending submission of the first quarterly report.
     Modification of authority to support operations and 
         activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq 
         (sec. 1223)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that 
     would extend the authorization for the Office of Security 
     Cooperation in Iraq through fiscal year 2020 and would amend 
     the Office's authority to support security cooperation 
     activities in Iraq. The provision

[[Page H9805]]

     would reduce the funds available for this authority from 
     $45.3 million to $30.0 million.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1223) that would extend the authority for the Office of 
     Security Cooperation in Iraq through fiscal year 2020. The 
     provision would also limit the amount of authorized funds 
     available to be obligated or expended to not more than 50 
     percent until the Secretary of Defense certifies that certain 
     reforms are completed.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions and make technical edits.
       The conferees note the challenges attendant in effective 
     security cooperation and believe the Department should seek 
     to staff security cooperation offices with more foreign area 
     officers, particularly in the U.S. Central Command area of 
     responsibility.
     Establishing a coordinator for detained ISIS members and 
         relevant displaced populations in Syria (sec. 1224)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1224) that 
     would require the President, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the Director of 
     National Intelligence, and the Attorney General, to designate 
     an existing official within the Executive Branch as senior-
     level coordinator to coordinate all matters for the United 
     States Government relating to the long-term disposition of 
     members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and 
     associated forces.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1036).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require, 
     not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the President, in consultation with the Secretary 
     of Defense, the Secretary of State, the Director of National 
     Intelligence, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Attorney 
     General, to submit to appropriate committees of Congress a 
     report identifying whether there exists a senior-level 
     coordinator for all matters for the United States Government 
     relating to ISIS members in the custody of Syrian Democratic 
     Forces. If the President is unable to identify a senior-level 
     coordinator for such matters, the President, in consultation 
     with the officials enumerated above, shall designate an 
     existing official within the executive branch to serve in 
     that capacity. The amendment further provides that not later 
     than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
     and not less frequently than once each year thereafter 
     through January 31, 2021, the senior-level coordinator shall 
     submit to appropriate committees of Congress a detailed 
     report on certain high-value ISIS detainees.
       The conferees believe that the coordinator identified 
     pursuant to this provision should be empowered by the 
     President and of sufficient seniority to adequately leverage 
     and coordinate the expertise and capabilities of the State 
     Department, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, 
     Department of Treasury, intelligence community, and other 
     relevant entities engaged in the repatriation, transfer, and 
     prosecution of members of ISIS.
     Report on lessons learned from efforts to liberate Mosul and 
         Raqqah from control of the Islamic State of Iraq and 
         Syria (sec. 1225)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1225) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on lessons learned from 
     coalition operations to liberate Mosul, Iraq, and Raqqah, 
     Syria, from control of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Expansion of availability of financial assets of Iran to 
         victims of terrorism (sec. 1226)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6206) that 
     would amend section 502 of the Iran Threat Reduction and 
     Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 8772) to expand the 
     availability of financial assets of Iran to victims of 
     terrorism.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Report on the status of deconfliction channels with Iran 
         (sec. 1227)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1228) that 
     would require, not later than 30 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, the President to submit a report on the status of 
     deconfliction channels with Iran.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Prohibition on provision of weapons and other forms of 
         support to certain organizations (sec. 1228)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1224) that 
     would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act or otherwise made available for the Department of 
     Defense for fiscal year 2020 to provide weapons or any form 
     of support to al-Qaeda, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, 
     Jabhat Fateh al Sham, any individual or group associated with 
     these organizations, or any entity the Secretary of Defense 
     determined may trade or sell arms to terrorist organizations.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that adds Hamas, 
     Hizballah, Palestine Islamic Jihad, al-Shabaab, and Islamic 
     Revolutionary Guard Corps to the list of organizations to 
     which the provision of weapons or any form of support is 
     proscribed.

         Subtitle D--Matters Relating to the Russian Federation

     Extension of limitation on military cooperation between the 
         United States and Russia (sec. 1231)
       The Senate bill contained provisions (sec. 1233 and sec. 
     6210) that would extend through fiscal year 2020 the 
     prohibition established in section 1232 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328) as most recently amended by the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115-232), which prohibits funds authorized to be 
     appropriated for the Department of Defense 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, made in 
     coordination with the Secretary of State, or unless 
     certain waiver conditions are met.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1232) that would extend through fiscal year 2020 the 
     prohibition established in section 1232 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328).
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that, as established in Section 1232, 
     nothing in the limitation shall be construed to limit 
     bilateral military-to-military dialogue between the United 
     States and the Russian Federation for the purpose of reducing 
     the risk of conflict.
     Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty 
         of Russia over Crimea (sec. 1232)
       The Senate bill contained two provisions (sec. 1231 and 
     sec. 6231) that would prohibit funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2020 for the 
     Department of Defense to be obligated or expended to 
     implement any activity that recognizes the sovereignty of the 
     Russian Federation over Crimea. The provisions would also 
     prohibit the Department to otherwise implement any such 
     activity.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1233) that would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2020 
     for the Department of Defense to be obligated or expended to 
     implement any activity that recognizes the sovereignty of 
     Russia over Crimea.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise 
     made available for fiscal year 2020 for the Department of 
     Defense to be obligated or expended to implement any activity 
     that recognizes the sovereignty of Russia over Crimea. The 
     amendment would allow the Secretary of Defense, with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of State, to waive the 
     prohibition if the Secretary: determines that a waiver is in 
     the national security interest of the United States; and on 
     the date on which the waiver is invoked, submits a 
     notification of the waiver and a justification of the reason 
     for seeking the waiver to specified congressional committees.
     Sense of Congress on updating and modernizing existing 
         agreements to avert miscalculation between the United 
         States and Russia (sec. 1233)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1236) that 
     would express the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of 
     Defense and Secretary of State should explore steps for 
     updating and modernizing existing agreements between the 
     United States and Russia to avert the risk of miscalculation 
     and unintended escalation.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of the Congress that: (1) conventional arms control and 
     confidence and security building measures have played an 
     important role in helping to increase military transparency 
     and reduce the risk of miscalculation; (2) Russia's 
     violations of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of 
     Georgia and Ukraine, and Russia's ongoing destabilizing and 
     aggressive behavior, have undermined peace, security, and 
     stability in Europe and beyond; (3) Russia's unilateral 
     suspension and violation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed 
     Forces in Europe, done at Vienna November 19, 1990, and 
     entered into force November 9, 1992, and selective 
     implementation of the Vienna Document of the Organization for 
     Security and Cooperation in Europe 2011 have contributed to a 
     greater risk of miscalculation; (4) Russia's unsafe and 
     unprofessional interactions with United States aircraft and 
     vessels are contrary to the spirit of specified existing 
     agreements and erode military transparency, predictability, 
     and trust; (5) the United States remains committed to 
     upholding its current treaty obligations and commitments with 
     respect to conventional arms control and confidence and 
     security building measures; and (6) the Secretary of Defense 
     and the Secretary of State should explore options, as 
     practicable, for updated or new frameworks for increasing 
     military transparency, stability, and reducing the risk of 
     miscalculation, including through enhanced diplomatic 
     engagement and military-to-military dialogue.
     United States participation in Open Skies Treaty (sec. 1234)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1242) that 
     would realign the requirement

[[Page H9806]]

     contained in section 1235(a) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) 
     from fiscal year to calendar year. The provision would also 
     reduce the frequency of the reporting requirement in section 
     1236 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) from quarterly to annual.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1231) that 
     would make a series of findings and express the sense of 
     Congress relating to the Open Skies Treaty. The provision 
     would also prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any 
     funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for the 
     Department of Defense to take any action to suspend, 
     terminate, or withdraw the United States from the treaty. 
     This prohibition would not apply if the Secretary of Defense 
     and Secretary of State jointly certify that Russia is in 
     material breach of its obligations under the treaty, and that 
     all other states parties to the treaty concur with this 
     assessment; or, that withdrawing from the treaty is in the 
     best interests of U.S. national security and all other states 
     parties have been consulted with respect to this decision. 
     The provision would also repeal the limitation on the use of 
     funds to vote to approve or otherwise adopt an implementing 
     decision of the Open Skies Consultative Commission in section 
     1236 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2017. The provision would also modify the reporting 
     requirement in section 1236 to include assessments of data 
     collected on U.S. observation flights under the treaty, and 
     reduce the reporting frequency from quarterly to biannual. 
     Finally, the provision would make the same realignment to 
     section 1235(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2018 but would change the report to a briefing.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the 
     findings, sense of Congress, and prohibition on obligation or 
     expenditure of funds for suspension, termination, or withdraw 
     from the treaty, and replace with a requirement to notify the 
     appropriate congressional committees no less than 120 days 
     before such actions. The amendments would also reduce the 
     frequency of the section 1236 reporting requirement from 
     quarterly to annual, and retain the section 1235(a) 
     requirement for a report instead of a briefing.
     Modifications of briefing, notification, and reporting 
         requirements relating to non-compliance by the Russian 
         Federation with its obligations under the INF Treaty 
         (sec. 1235)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1237) that 
     would terminate four recurring reporting requirements 
     relating to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty if 
     the treaty is no longer in force.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Report on treaties relating to nuclear arms control (sec. 
         1236)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1235) that 
     would note that the Committees on Armed Services and Foreign 
     Affairs of the House of Representatives sent a letter to the 
     Secretary of Defense in October 2018 requesting information 
     on several aspects of U.S. policy related to nuclear arms 
     control, and that the Secretary of Defense did not respond to 
     that letter. The provision would also require the Secretary 
     of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State and 
     the Director of National Intelligence, to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on similar 
     subjects. The provision would withhold 20 percent of funds 
     authorized to be appropriated for operations and maintenance, 
     defense-wide, for the Office of the Secretary of Defense for 
     travel until such report is submitted.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees believe that reliable communication between 
     the congressional defense committees and the Department is 
     essential for the conduct of effective oversight.
     Reports relating to the New START Treaty (sec. 1237)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1240A) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the United States 
     should seek to extend New START, and prohibit the use of 
     funds authorized to be appropriated for the Department of 
     Defense by this Act for any actions to withdraw from the 
     treaty. The provision would also require the Director of 
     National Intelligence, the Secretary of State, and the 
     Secretary of Defense to each submit several reports to the 
     appropriate congressional committees on subjects relating to 
     the treaty and its potential expiration.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the 
     prohibition on the use of funds, express the sense of 
     Congress that legally binding, verifiable limits on Russian 
     strategic nuclear forces are in the national security 
     interest of the United States, and modify the number and 
     required elements of the reports.
     Report on military activities of the Russian Federation and 
         the People's Republic of China in the Arctic region (sec. 
         1238)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6214) that 
     would require not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of 
     National Intelligence, to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report on the activities of the 
     Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China in the 
     Arctic region.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment containing technical 
     clarifications.
     Updated strategy to counter the threat of malign influence by 
         the Russian Federation and other countries (sec. 1239)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6216) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     State to jointly update the comprehensive strategy to counter 
     the threat of malign influence developed pursuant to section 
     1239A of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91; 131 Stat. 1667) and to submit a 
     report detailing the updated strategy to the appropriate 
     congressional committees not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

            Subtitle E--Matters Relating to Europe and NATO

     Sense of Congress on support for the North Atlantic Treaty 
         Organization (sec. 1241)
       The Senate bill contained multiple provisions (sec. 1244-
     1246) that would express the sense of the Senate regarding 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and European security 
     matters.
       The House amendment contained multiple similar provisions 
     (sec. 1237, 1238, 1254, 1257, and 1261).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of the Congress that the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization is the most successful military alliance in 
     history, founded on the principles of democracy, individual 
     liberty, and the rule of law, and its contributions to the 
     collective defense are indispensable to the security, 
     prosperity, and freedom of its members. The amendment would 
     also express that the United States must remain ironclad in 
     its commitment to uphold its obligations under the North 
     Atlantic Treaty, including Article 5 of such treaty.
     Prohibition on the use of funds to suspend, terminate, or 
         provide notice of denunciation of the North Atlantic 
         Treaty (sec. 1242)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that 
     would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
     Act to be obligated, expended, or reprogrammed for the 
     withdrawal of the United States Armed Forces from Europe 
     during the 1-year period beginning on the date that the 
     President should ever provide notice of withdrawal of the 
     United States from the North Atlantic Treaty, done at 
     Washington, D.C. on April 4, 1949, pursuant to Article 13 of 
     the treaty.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1260A) that would make a series of findings related to the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), state the policy 
     of the United States with respect to NATO, and prohibit funds 
     authorized to be appropriated, obligated, or expended to take 
     any action to withdraw the United States from the North 
     Atlantic Treaty, done at Washington, D.C. on April 4, 1949.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide 
     that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds 
     may be obligated, expended, or otherwise made available 
     during the period beginning on the date of enactment of this 
     Act and ending on December 31, 2020, to take any action to 
     suspend, terminate, or provide notice of denunciation of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty, done at Washington, D.C. on April 4, 
     1949. The conferees strongly support membership in NATO, the 
     most successful military alliance in history, as a 
     cornerstone of the security and national defense of the 
     United States.
       The conferees affirm the ironclad commitment of the United 
     States to uphold its obligations under the North Atlantic 
     Treaty, including under Article 5 of such treaty. Therefore, 
     the conferees oppose in the strongest possible terms any 
     action to effectuate withdrawal of the United States from 
     NATO, including suspension, termination, or denunciation of 
     the North Atlantic Treaty.
     Future years plans and planning transparency for European 
         Deterrence Initiative (sec. 1243)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1241) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the Commander of the United States European Command, to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a future years 
     plan on activities and resources of the European Deterrence 
     Initiative (EDI) for fiscal year 2020 and not fewer than the 
     4 succeeding fiscal years.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1252) that 
     would require an annual ``Future Years Plan'' for EDI as 
     previously required by section 1237(a) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 
     115-91), and require the Department's budget request 
     materials for EDI to include a display that clearly and 
     concisely communicates to Congress, at an appropriate level 
     of detail, which budget lines constitute EDI.
       The House amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1253) 
     that would require a congressional report for each obligation 
     of EDI funds above a threshold of $10.0 million and a report 
     at the end of each fiscal year detailing how EDI funds were 
     spent during the

[[Page H9807]]

     fiscal year in comparison to their intended uses.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a future years plan on activities and resources of 
     EDI for fiscal year 2020 and not fewer than the 4 succeeding 
     fiscal years. The amendment would also require, not later 
     than the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to 
     Congress the budget request for the Department of Defense for 
     fiscal year 2021 and each fiscal year after thereafter, the 
     Secretary to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     future years plan on activities and resources of EDI for such 
     fiscal year and not fewer than the four succeeding fiscal 
     years. The amendment would also require an annual report on 
     the obligation of EDI funds in a given fiscal year.
     Modification and extension of Ukraine Security Assistance 
         Initiative (sec. 1244)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1234) that 
     would extend through December 31, 2022, the authority under 
     section 1250 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as amended by section 
     1246 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232), for the Secretary 
     of Defense, with the concurrence of 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 also add coastal defense cruise missiles and anti-ship 
     missiles to the categories of appropriate security assistance 
     and intelligence support. The provision would authorize up to 
     $300.0 million in fiscal year 2020 to provide security 
     assistance to Ukraine, of which $100.0 million would be 
     available only for lethal assistance.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision that 
     would authorize $250.0 million for the Ukraine Security 
     Assistance Initiative. The provision would also require 
     concurrence by the Secretary of State in the provision of 
     assistance.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     $300.0 million for the Ukraine Security Assistance 
     Initiative, of which $50.0 million would be available only 
     for lethal assistance. The amendment would add coastal 
     defense cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles to the 
     categories of appropriate security assistance and 
     intelligence support. The amendment would also require 
     concurrence by the Secretary of State in the provision of 
     assistance and extend the authority to December 31, 2022.
     Limitation on transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey (sec. 1245)
       The Senate bill contained provisions (sec. 1236, 6218, and 
     6236) that would, among other things, place limitations on 
     the transfer of F-35 aircraft to the territory of the 
     Republic of Turkey, provide a waiver to such limitations 
     subject to a certification of certain conditions met by the 
     Government of Turkey, and express the sense of the Senate 
     regarding the Government of Turkey's purchase of the S-400 
     air defense system.
       The House amendment contained similar provisions (sec. 1255 
     and 1267) that would, among other things, place limitations 
     on the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey, provide a waiver 
     to such limitations subject to a certification of certain 
     conditions met by the Government of Turkey, and express the 
     sense of Congress on Turkey's potential acquisition of the 
     Patriot system from the United States.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide 
     that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available for the Department of Defense may be 
     used to do the following, and the Department may not 
     otherwise do the following: transfer, facilitate the 
     transfer, or authorize the transfer of, any F-35 aircraft or 
     related support equipment or parts to Turkey; transfer 
     intellectual property, technical data, or material support 
     necessary for, or related to, any maintenance or support of 
     the F-35 aircraft necessary to establish Turkey's indigenous 
     F-35 capability; or construct a storage facility for, or 
     otherwise facilitate the storage in Turkey of, any F-35 
     aircraft transferred to Turkey. The amendment would allow the 
     Secretary of Defense, jointly with the Secretary of State, to 
     waive such limitation if the Secretaries submit to the 
     appropriate committees of Congress a written certification 
     that contains a determination by the Secretaries, and any 
     relevant documentation on which the determination is based, 
     that the Government of Turkey, having previously accepted 
     delivery of the S-400 air and missile defense system from the 
     Russian Federation: no longer possesses the S-400 air and 
     missile defense system or any other equipment, materials, 
     or personnel association with such system; has provided 
     credible assurances that the Government of Turkey will not 
     in the future accept delivery of such system; and has not, 
     since July 31, 2019, purchased or accepted delivery of 
     defense equipment from the Russian Federation in addition 
     to the S-400 air and missile defense system that would 
     increase the risk of compromising the capabilities of the 
     F-35 aircraft and its associated systems. The amendment 
     would not allow the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of 
     State to waive the limitation until 90 days after the date 
     on which the Secretaries submit the required 
     certification. The amendment would also express the sense 
     of Congress that, among other things, the acceptance of 
     the S-400 air and missile defense system by Turkey 
     constitutes a significant transaction within the meaning 
     of section 231(a) of the Countering Russian Influence in 
     Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-44). The 
     amendment would further express that the President should 
     implement sanctions under section 235 of that Act with 
     respect to any individual or entity determined to have 
     engaged in such significant transaction as if such person 
     were a sanctioned person for purposes of such section. The 
     amendment would also authorize the Secretary of Defense to 
     fly up to six Turkish F-35 aircraft to a storage location 
     in the United States and to induct these aircraft into a 
     long-term storage condition. The amendment would further 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to expend up to $30.0 
     million of funds authorized to be appropriated for fiscal 
     year 2020 for the Department of Defense to conduct 
     activities associated with storage, preservation, and 
     developing a plan for the final disposition of such F-35 
     aircraft and Turkish F-35 aircraft equipment. The 
     amendment would also require a report and notification of 
     expenditure of funds under specified conditions.
     Baltic defense assessment; extension and modification of

     Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to 
     conduct or support a single joint program of the Baltic 
     nations to improve interoperability and build their capacity 
     to deter and resist aggression by the Russian Federation. The 
     provision would modify the authority by: adding command, 
     control, communications, computers, intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance equipment to defense 
     articles and services eligible for a joint program; 
     increasing the total amount of assistance that may be 
     provided under the authority to $125.0 million; requiring 
     that the amount of assistance provided may not exceed the 
     aggregate amount contributed to the joint program by the 
     Baltic nations; and extending the date of termination of the 
     authority to December 31, 2022. The House amendment contained 
     a similar provision (sec. 1260B) that would modify and extend 
     the authority by: adding intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance equipment to defense articles and services 
     eligible for a joint program, increasing the amount of 
     assistance to $125.0 million; extending the date to December 
     31, 2021; and requiring a report on the use of funding.
       The House amendment also contained provisions (secs. 1271-
     1274) that would establish findings with regard to the Baltic 
     nations; express the sense of the Congress that the United 
     States is committed to the security of the Baltic nations; 
     and require the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State 
     to jointly conduct an assessment of the military requirements 
     of the Baltic countries to deter and resist aggression by 
     Russia and to submit a report related to such assessment.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     both the Senate and House sections to extend and modify the 
     authority to conduct or support a single joint program of the 
     Baltic nations. The amendment would also require the defense 
     assessment as provided in the House amendment.

         European national security forces in the course of 
         multilateral exercises (sec. 1247)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1235) that 
     would extend through December 31, 2022, the authority 
     provided in section 1251 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     as amended by section 1205 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), 
     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 
     signatories to the Partnership for Peace Framework Documents 
     but not members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) or that became NATO members after January 1, 1999.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority for training Eastern European national security 
     forces in the course of multilateral exercises through 
     December 31, 2021. Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the amendment would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Commander of 
     United States European Command, to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the authority.

     through fiscal year 2023 section 1244 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), 
     as most recently amended by section 1280 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92), for the NATO Special Operations Headquarters (NSHQ) 
     and also limit funding for the NSHQ until the Secretary of 
     Defense, acting through the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
     for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, provides a 
     report on the decision to realign responsibilities for 
     overseeing and supporting NSHQ from U.S. Special Operations 
     Command to U.S. European Command.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization Joint Force Command (sec. 
         1249)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6213) that 
     would authorize the establishment of, and participation of 
     members of the armed forces in, the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization Joint Force Command, including the use of

     funds authorized to be appropriated to the Department of 
     Defense for fiscal year 2020.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

         Initiative (sec. 1250)

       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Repeal of prohibition on transfer of articles on the United 
         States Munitions List to the Republic of Cyprus (sec. 
         1250A)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6204) that 
     would, among other things, make a series of changes to allow 
     for the export, re-export, and the transfer of defense 
     articles and defense services, including those subject to the 
     United States Munitions List, to the Republic of Cyprus if 
     the President determines and certifies to the appropriate 
     congressional committees not less than annually that: the 
     Government of the Republic of Cyprus is continuing to 
     cooperate with the United States Government in efforts to 
     implement reforms on anti-money laundering regulations and 
     financial regulatory oversight; and the Government of the

     sense of Congress that: allowing for the export, re-export or

     to the Republic of Cyprus would advance United States 
     security interests in Europe by helping to reduce the 
     dependence of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus on 
     other countries, including countries that pose challenges to 
     United States interests around the world, for defense-related 
     materiel; and it is in the interest of the United States to 
     continue to support United Nations-facilitated efforts toward 
     a comprehensive solution to the division of Cyprus.

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

     Modification of Indo-Pacific Maritime Security Initiative 
         (sec. 1251)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1241) that 
     would modify the authority for the Indo-Pacific Maritime 
     Security Initiative to include additional elements of 
     assistance and training, require additional information for 
     congressional notifications, mandate an annual report, and

     program. The provision would also require a one-time report 
     on the initiative.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would, among 
     other modifications, make clarifying changes to the required 
     annual report on the initiative and strike the requirement 
     for a one-time report. The conferees note that units to 
     receive assistance under the Indo-Pacific Maritime Security 
     Initiative undergo required ``Leahy Law'' human rights 
     vetting before such assistance is provided.

     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     include as recipient countries for assistance and training 
     under the Indo-Pacific Maritime Security Initiative the

     Tonga, Papua New Guinea, the Republic of Fiji, the Republic 
     of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Republic 
     of Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250A) that 
     would require a report on the current status of security 
     cooperation and assistance with Pacific Island countries and 
     the feasibility of expanding such cooperation and assistance.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would include the 
     following as recipient countries under in the initiative: the 
     Federated States of Micronesia, the Independent State of

     Marshall Islands, the Republic of Nauru, the Republic of 
     Palau, the Republic of Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands, and 
     Tuvalu. The amendment would also provide that none of the 
     funds authorized to be appropriated for the initiative shall 
     be used to provide training or assistance to the additional 
     recipient countries until the Secretary of Defense, with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of State, submits to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report regarding 
     security cooperation and assistance with such countries.
     Report on resourcing United States defense requirements for 
         the Indo-Pacific region and study on competitive 
         strategies (sec. 1253)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1254) that 
     would require the Commander, United States Indo-Pacific 
     Command, to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     report containing the independent assessment of the Commander 
     with respect to the activities and resources required for 
     fiscal years 2022 through 2026 to achieve certain objectives.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
     specific cost estimates, as practicable, to be included in 
     the required assessment. The amendment would clarify the role 
     of elements of the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 
     providing a briefing related to the required assessment. The 
     amendment would also require, not later than 1 year after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, 
     acting through the Office of Net Assessment, to provide the 
     results of a study on at least three possible long-term 
     competitive strategies with respect to the People's Republic 
     of China with a focus on identifying opportunities to shape 
     strategic competition to the advantage of the United States.
     Limitation on use of funds to reduce the total number of 
         members of the Armed Forces serving on active duty who 
         are deployed to South Korea (sec. 1254)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1251) that 
     would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act to reduce the total number of members of the 
     Armed Forces in the territory of the Republic of Korea (ROK) 
     below 28,500 until 90 days after the date on which the 
     Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional defense 
     committees that: such a reduction is in the national security 
     interests of the United States and will not significantly 
     undermine the security of United States allies in the region; 
     such a reduction is commensurate with a reduction in the 
     threat posed to the security of the United States and its 
     allies in the region by the conventional military forces of 
     the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK); and the 
     Secretary has appropriately consulted with allies of the 
     United States, including the ROK and Japan, regarding such a 
     reduction.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1243) that would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act to reduce the number of members of 
     the Armed Forces serving on Active Duty in the Republic of 
     Korea below 28,500 unless the Secretary of Defense first 
     provides certification to the congressional defense 
     committees that such a reduction is in the national security 
     interest of the United States and will not significantly 
     undermine the security of the United States' allies in the 
     region.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act to be used to 
     reduce the total number of members of the Armed Forces 
     serving Active Duty who are deployed to South Korea below 
     28,500 until 90 days after the date on which the Secretary of 
     Defense certified to the congressional defense committees the 
     following: such a reduction is in the national security 
     interest of the United States and will not significantly 
     undermine the security of United States allies in the region; 
     and the Secretary has appropriately consulted with allies of 
     the United States, including South Korea and Japan, regarding 
     such a reduction.
       The conferees recognize that United States military forces 
     deployed on the Korean Peninsula remain vital to deterring, 
     and if necessary, defeating aggression by the Democratic 
     People's Republic of Korea, which continues to threaten the 
     national security interests of the United States and the 
     peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific region through both 
     its conventional forces and weapons of mass destruction. 
     While the conferees support diplomatic efforts to achieve the 
     complete and fully verified denuclearization of the 
     Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the conferees believe 
     the removal of United States military forces from the Korean 
     Peninsula is a non-negotiable item in such negotiations.
     Report on direct, indirect, and burden-sharing contributions 
         of Japan and South Korea (sec. 1255)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1244) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to 
     the

[[Page H9809]]

     congressional defense committees, Senate Committee on Foreign 
     Relations, and House Committee on Foreign Affairs, not later 
     than March 1, 2020, and March 1, 2021, on the direct, 
     indirect, and burden-sharing contributions of Japan and South 
     Korea to support overseas military installations of the 
     United States and U.S. Armed Forces deployed to or 
     permanently stationed in Japan and South Korea.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that, among other 
     changes clarifying the process of preparing and delivering 
     the aforementioned report, would require the Comptroller 
     General of the United States to provide the report to the 
     congressional committees described.
       The conferees note that Japan and the Republic of Korea 
     have made significant contributions to common security, 
     including through direct, indirect, and burden-sharing 
     contributions. Therefore, the conferees believe that upcoming 
     negotiations concerning new Special Measures Agreements with 
     Japan and the Republic of Korea should be conducted in a 
     spirit consistent with prior negotiations on the basis of 
     common interest and mutual respect.
     Sense of Congress on security commitments to the Governments 
         of Japan and the Republic of Korea and trilateral 
         cooperation among the United States, Japan, and the 
         Republic of Korea (sec. 1256)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1259) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate with respect to 
     security commitments to the Governments of Japan and the 
     Republic of Korea and trilateral cooperation between the 
     United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of Congress that the United States strongly encourages 
     strengthened bilateral security ties between Japan and the 
     Republic of Korea as well as deeper trilateral defense 
     coordination and cooperation, including through expanded 
     exercises, training, senior-level exchanges, and information 
     sharing. The amendment would also express that the following 
     bilateral and trilateral agreements are critical to regional 
     security, and should be maintained: the bilateral military 
     intelligence-sharing pact between Japan and the Republic of 
     Korea, signed on November 23, 2016; and the trilateral 
     intelligence sharing agreement among the United States, 
     Japan, and the Republic of Korea, signed on December 29, 
     2015.
     Sense of Congress on North Korea (sec. 1257)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250K) that 
     would express the sense of the Congress concerning North 
     Korea and diplomatic efforts to achieve the denuclearization 
     of North Korea.

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of Congress that, among other things, a sustained 
     credible diplomatic process based on concrete measures to 
     achieve the denuclearization of North Korea and an eventual 
     end to the Korean War should be pursued. The amendment would 
     also express that continued actions by North Korea that run 
     counter to diplomatic negotiations call into question North 
     Korea's intentions and commitment to a diplomatic 
     solution.
     Statement of policy and sense of Congress on, and strategy to 
         fulfill obligations under, Mutual Defense Treaty with the 
         Republic of the Philippines (sec. 1258)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6201) that 
     would state the policy of the United States that, among other 
     things, an attack on the armed forces, public vessels, or 
     aircraft of the Republic of the Philippines in the Pacific, 
     including the South China Sea, would trigger the mutual 
     defense obligations of the United States under Article IV of 
     the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Republic of the 
     Philippines and the United States of America, done at 
     Washington August 30, 1951, ``to meet common dangers in 
     accordance with its constitutional processes''. The provision 
     would also express the sense of the Senate that the Secretary 
     of State and the Secretary of Defense should: affirm the 
     commitment of the United States to the Mutual Defense Treaty 
     between the United States and the Republic of the 
     Philippines; preserve and strengthen the alliance of the 
     United States with the Republic of the Philippines; 
     prioritize efforts to develop a shared understanding of 
     alliance commitments and defense planning; and provide

     in the Senate provision, and require, not later than 1 year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
     Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to 
     submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report 
     that sets forth the strategy of the Department of Defense for 
     achieving such objectives.

     appropriate committees of Congress on the legal and policy 
     frameworks for the use of military force and related national 
     security operations.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Independent review of sufficiency of resources available to 
         United States Southern Command and United States Africa 
         Command (sec. 1262)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1264) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into a 
     contract with an entity independent of the Department of 
     Defense to conduct an assessment of the sufficiency of 
     resources available to U.S. Southern Command and U.S. Africa 
     Command.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     United States Central Command posture assessment and review 
         (sec. 1263)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1287) that 
     would mandate a comprehensive United States Central Command 
     (CENTCOM) posture review, which would assess the extent to 
     which the United States possesses the force posture and 
     capabilities for countering threats emanating from and 
     affecting CENTCOM's area of responsibilities.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into a contract with a 
     federally funded research and development center to conduct 
     an independent assessment and comprehensive review of United 
     States military force posture and capabilities for countering 
     threats emanating from and affecting CENTCOM's area of 
     responsibilities.
       The conferees note that the United States' military 
     presence, posture, and basing in the Middle East region was 
     constituted iteratively over decades to support a range of 
     regional partners, operations, tasks, and activities, against 
     an evolving spectrum of threats and contingencies. The 
     conferees are concerned that the proportion of Department of 
     Defense resources deployed to the CENTCOM area of 
     responsibility no longer reflects departmental priorities, as 
     articulated in the National Defense Strategy. Furthermore, 
     the conferees believe CENTCOM must be appropriately postured 
     in order to maintain resilience and deterrence toward 
     regional adversaries whose doctrine and capabilities continue 
     to evolve. However, the conferees believe CENTCOM must pursue 
     a more resource efficient approach in order to support 
     Department-wide efforts to recover readiness, lethality, and 
     strategic competitiveness with Russia and China, in 
     accordance with National Defense Strategy priorities.

     agreement with any country that has not signed and 
     implemented an Additional Protocol with the International 
     Atomic Energy Agency. The provision would make an exception 
     for a country that already had in effect an agreement under 
     section 123 as of June 19, 2019. The provision would allow 
     for a waiver of such prohibition if the President submits a 
     report to the appropriate congressional committees, and the 
     Congress enacts a joint resolution of approval of the waiver.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement for a joint resolution of approval of the waiver. 
     The waiver would instead take effect 90 days after the 
     submission of the report to the appropriate congressional 
     committees.

     would require, not later than 180 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State 
     to jointly submit a report to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that assesses the human rights climate in Brazil;

       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     a credible commitment to use such equipment solely for the 
     purposes intended.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     the Ministry of Interior of Guatemala during fiscal year 
     2020, the Secretary of Defense must certify to the 
     appropriate congressional committees that such ministries 
     have made a credible commitment to use such equipment only 
     for the uses for which they were intended.

     that the Departments are taking to increase the ability of 
     the Nigerian military to minimize civilian harm when using 
     equipment provided by the United States, to include the A-29

       The Senate recedes.
     United States-Israel cooperation to counter unmanned aerial 
         systems (sec. 1278)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1284) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out joint 
     research, development, test, and evaluation to establish 
     capabilities for countering unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) 
     that threaten the United States or Israel.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension and modification of authority for United States-
         Israel anti-tunnel cooperation activities (sec. 1279)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1283) that 
     would amend section 1279 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     modify the authority for United States-Israel anti-tunnel 
     cooperation activities. The provision

[[Page H9812]]

     would remove countering unmanned aerial systems from the 
     section 1279 authority. Elsewhere in this Act, the 
     committee recommends a provision that would establish a 
     separate authority for United States-Israel cooperation 
     regarding countering unmanned aerial systems. The 
     provision would also authorize the Secretary of Defense to 
     use amounts available under the section 1279 authority, 
     which are in excess of the amount contributed by the 
     Government of Israel, for costs associated with unique 
     national requirements identified by the United States with 
     respect to anti-tunnel capabilities.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     section 1279 authority through December 31, 2024.
     Report on cost imposition strategy (sec. 1280)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1271) that 
     would require, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees a report describing the 
     cost imposition strategies of the Department of Defense with 
     respect to the People's Republic of China and the Russian 
     Federation.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that, among other 
     clarifying changes, would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     consult with the heads of other Federal departments and 
     agencies as appropriate in the preparation of the report.
     Modification of initiative to support protection of national 
         security academic researchers from undue influence and 
         other security threats (sec. 1281)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1285) that 
     would amend section 1286 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232) to require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
     list of academic institutions of the People's Republic of 
     China and the Russian Federation that are: (1) Associated 
     with a defense program of the People's Republic of China or 
     the Russian Federation, including any university heavily 
     engaged in military research; (2) Known to recruit 
     individuals for the purpose of advancing the talent and 
     capabilities of such a defense program or to provide 
     misleading transcripts or otherwise attempt to conceal the 
     connections of an individual or institution to such a defense 
     program; or (3) Pose a serious risk of intangible transfers 
     of defense or engineering technology and research.
       The Senate bill contained another provision (sec. 6219) 
     that would amend section 1286 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 to specify 
     that the training and support provided under such program 
     shall emphasize best practices for the protection of 
     sensitive national security information and include the 
     dissemination of unclassified publications and resources.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) Combine 
     sections 1285 and 6219 with minor modifications; (2) Amend 
     section 1286 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 to require the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish enhanced information 
     sharing procedures to collect appropriate information on any 
     personnel participating in defense research and development 
     activities other than basic research and to maintain 
     appropriate security controls over research activities, 
     technical information, and intellectual property; and (3) 
     Amend the required report in the same section to be an annual 
     report.
       The conferees note the important impact that United States 
     academic institutions have had advancing emerging 
     technologies and contributing to the defense research 
     enterprise. Maintaining an open and collaborative environment 
     for unclassified basic and applied research is fundamental to 
     attracting the world's best students and commercializing 
     their innovations. The conferees, however, note the efforts 
     undertaken by foreign adversaries and competitors to exploit 
     the open academic environment through the theft of 
     intellectual property, improper technology transfer, and 
     espionage.
       The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to 
     establish a memorandum of understanding with the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security in order to coordinate the implementation 
     of the enhanced information sharing required in this 
     provision. The conferees note, that to greatest extent 
     possible, the Secretary of Defense should streamline 
     information sharing procedures and leverage existing 
     government information systems and repositories, including 
     the Student Exchange Visitor Information System, to reduce 
     the burden on universities and the Department of Defense.
     Modification of responsibility for policy on civilian 
         casualty matters (sec. 1282)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1268) that 
     would modify section 1057 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) 
     and section 936 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
     relating to civilian casualty matters.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 936 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
     to modify the responsibilities of the senior civilian 
     official of the Department of Defense designated to develop, 
     coordinate, and oversee compliance relating to civilian 
     casualties. The conferees direct the senior designated 
     official to coordinate with other relevant U.S. departments 
     and agencies with respect to any other matters related to 
     civilian harm resulting from military operations, including 
     assistance provided to civilians impacted or displaced by 
     such operations.
     Report on export of certain satellites to entities with 
         certain beneficial ownership status (sec. 1283)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6207) that 
     would require a report on addressing the threat posed by the 
     export, reexport, or in-country transfer of certain 
     satellites to certain entities.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical/clarifying amendment.
     Rule of construction relating to use of military force (sec. 
         1284)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1265) that 
     would establish that nothing in this Act or any amendment 
     made by this Act may be construed to authorize the use of 
     military force.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would establish 
     that nothing in this Act or any amendment made by this Act 
     may be construed to authorize the use of military force, 
     including the use of military force against Iran or any other 
     country.
     Reports and briefings on use of military force and support of 
         partner forces (sec. 1285)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1270V) that 
     would require the President not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, and every 180 days 
     thereafter, to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, 
     and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives a report on specific actions taken pursuant 
     to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 
     107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 et seq.) and support for partner 
     forces against those nations or organizations described in 
     such law, during the preceding 180-day period.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     President not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees, the Committee 
     on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives a report on 
     actions taken pursuant to the Authorization for Use of 
     Military Force (Public Law 107-40) against those countries or 
     organizations described in such law, as well as any actions 
     taken to command, coordinate, participate in the movement of, 
     or accompany the regular or irregular military forces of any 
     foreign country or government when such forces are engaged in 
     hostilities or in situations where imminent involvement in 
     hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, during 
     the preceding 180-day period.


                   legislative provisions not adopted

     Report on participants in security cooperation training 
         programs and recipients of security assistance training 
         that have been designated for human rights abuses or 
         terrorist activities
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1205) that 
     would require, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State and the 
     Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the heads of other 
     appropriate Federal departments and agencies, to submit to 
     the appropriate congressional committees a report on 
     individuals and units of security forces of foreign countries 
     that have participated in security cooperation programs or 
     received security assistance training and have been subject 
     to United States sanctions relating to the violation or human 
     rights or terrorist activities. The Secretaries would also be 
     required to submit an annual update of the report.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of adherence to human 
     rights by recipients of Department of Defense (DOD) security 
     cooperation training. The conferees note that section 362 of 
     title 10, United States Code, prohibits DOD from providing 
     assistance to foreign security forces if there is 
     credible information that gross violations of human rights 
     have been committed. Among the key elements of the 
     security cooperation reforms contained in the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328) were an increased emphasis on the integration of 
     human rights training into DOD security cooperation 
     programs and the strengthening of the defense and security 
     institutions of foreign partners in order to more 
     effectively and responsibly train, manage, and employ 
     their forces. The conferees note that DOD faces 
     significant challenges relating to its ability to 
     comprehensively track recipients of DOD security 
     cooperation training in order to identify those who may 
     subsequently have committed gross violations of human 
     rights. The conferees understand that these challenges 
     arise in part

[[Page H9813]]

     from limitations in the Department's ability to collect 
     and maintain data on all individuals who receive security 
     cooperation training under title 10 chapter 16 authorities 
     and in the ability to cross-reference such information 
     with that of other departments and agencies of the United 
     States government. The conferees are aware that the lack 
     of data would result in incomplete information on 
     recipients of security cooperation training that have been 
     designated for human rights abuses or terrorist 
     activities.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide a briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the 
     House of Representatives and the Senate not later than 30 
     days after the date of enactment of this Act on the 
     advisability and feasibility of providing Congress with a 
     report on recipients of security cooperation training 
     programs at the unit and individual level that, after such 
     training, go on to commit gross violations of human rights. 
     The briefing should identify any challenges that DOD may 
     encounter in such an effort as well as recommendations for 
     overcoming such challenges.
     Prohibition on use of funds to transfer defense articles and 
         services to Azerbaijan
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1207) that 
     would prohibit the use of funds authorized by this Act or 
     otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for 
     fiscal year 2020 to transfer defense articles or services to 
     Azerbaijan unless the President certifies to Congress that 
     the transfer of such defense articles or services does not 
     threaten civil aviation.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees are concerned by any threat or use of force 
     against civilians or actions against a nation's sovereignty, 
     which would be contrary to international law. The importance 
     of a diplomatic resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict 
     is addressed in another section of this report.
     Multinational regional security education center
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1209) that 
     would require, not later than 120 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing on the utility and feasibility of establishing a 
     multinational regional security education center.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide 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 a briefing on the utility and 
     feasibility of establishing a multinational regional security 
     education center, including as a satellite entity of the 
     Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies 
     that is located in a member country of the Association for 
     Southeast Asian Nations, to offer year-round training and 
     educational courses to Southeast Asian and Indo-Pacific 
     civilian and military security personnel to enhance 
     engagement of territorial and maritime security, 
     transnational and asymmetric threats, and defense sector 
     governance in the Indo-Pacific region. Training may also 
     include English-language training, human rights training, 
     rule of law and legal studies, security governance and 
     institution-building courses, and budget and procurement 
     training.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     written summary of the briefing 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, within 30 days 
     following the briefing.
     Training for participants in professional military education 
         programs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1210) that 
     would require any foreign person participating in 
     professional military education to participate in human 
     rights training.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that every year numerous students from 
     foreign militaries participate in professional military 
     education provided and funded by the United States. These 
     courses should be viewed as a valuable opportunity to foster 
     an appreciation of human rights and the rule of law. The 
     conferees are aware that foreign students in professional 
     military education programs participate in the Department of 
     Defense Field Studies Program, which includes instruction in 
     human rights and law of war, among other topics. The 
     Secretary of Defense is encouraged to continue providing 
     human rights training as a key component of professional 
     military education.
     Report on plan to transfer funds in connection with the 
         provision of support under section 385 of title 10, 
         United States Code
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1210A) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on Department 
     of Defense plans to transfer funds with the provision of 
     support under section 385 of title 10, United States Code, 
     for fiscal year 2020.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of 
     State, and the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for 
     International Development to provide a briefing not later 
     than December 1, 2019 to the Armed Services Committees of the 
     House of Representatives and the Senate on any plans to use 
     the authority provided by section 385 of title 10, U.S. 
     Code,in fiscal year 2020. The briefing should also include a 
     description of any issues that may impede the use of such 
     authority.
     Rule of construction relating to use of military force 
         against Iran
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1225) that 
     would establish that nothing in this Act or any amendment 
     made by this Act may be construed to authorize the use of 
     military force against Iran.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress on support for Ministry of Peshmerga Forces 
         of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1226) 
     stating that it was the sense of Congress that the Ministry 
     of Peshmerga forces of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq had made 
     significant contributions and sacrifices in the United 
     States-led campaign to degrade, dismantle, and destroy ISIS, 
     and that the Department of Defense and Department of State 
     should continue to work with and support the non-partisan 
     forces of the Ministry of Peshmerga of the Kurdistan Region 
     of Iraq in order to continue to develop their capabilities, 
     promote security sector reforms, and enhance sustainability 
     and interoperability with the other elements of the Iraqi 
     security forces in order to provide for Iraq's lasting 
     security against terrorist threats.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the United States-led coalition 
     known as the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent 
     Resolve (CJTF-OIR) in partnership with the Iraqi Security 
     Forces (ISF), including the Kurdish Peshmerga, successfully 
     liberated significant Iraqi territory from the control of the 
     Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). While the conferees 
     applaud this significant achievement, they also express 
     concern that ISIS continues to pose a significant threat to 
     Iraq, the region, and potentially the U.S. homeland.
       According to the August 2019 Lead Inspector General report 
     for OIR, CJTF-OIR noted ``deep-seated internal Kurdish 
     political divisions and the Kurds' continuing dispute with 
     Iraq's central government over a swath of disputed territory 
     in northern Iraq rich in resources have allowed ISIS 
     insurgents to exploit gaps between ISF and Peshmerga forces, 
     which allows ISIS to regroup and plan attacks in the 
     region.'' Furthermore, the Lead Inspector General report for 
     OIR stated ``that the ISF and the Peshmerga has made progress 
     this quarter in ongoing planning of `joint security 
     mechanisms'--coordination to effectively combat ISIS in the 
     disputed territories. However, on-the-ground cooperation 
     between the ISF and the Peshmerga remained limited and 
     security gaps remained.'' The conferees believe a lasting 
     defeat of ISIS is critical to maintaining a stable and 
     tolerant Iraq in which all faiths, sects, and ethnicities are 
     afforded equal protection and full integration into the 
     government and society of Iraq and support the provision of 
     U.S. security and other assistance for such purposes. As part 
     of those efforts, the conferees support continued reform of, 
     and materiel and training assistance to, Kurdish Peshmerga 
     forces with the objective of enabling them to more 
     effectively partner with the ISF, the United States, and 
     other international partners. In furtherance of those 
     objectives, the conferees believe continued efforts by the 
     Peshmerga and ISF to establish joint security mechanisms are 
     critical to addressing the threat of ISIS in disputed 
     territories.
       The conferees strongly support continuation of the 
     partnership between the U.S. military and ISF, including the 
     Kurdish Peshmerga in furtherance of our shared interests. In 
     the coming years, the conferees encourage the Department to 
     normalize its support to the Peshmerga by focusing assistance 
     on the reform and professionalization at the ministerial and 
     unit level and the development of capabilities and 
     interoperability with other ISF elements that contribute to 
     the long-term stability of Iraq.
     Sense of Congress on supporting the return and repatriation 
         of religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq to their 
         ancestral homelands
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1227) that 
     expressed the sense of Congress that it should remain a 
     policy priority of the United States to support the safe 
     return of displaced indigenous people of the Nineveh Plan and 
     Sinjar to their ancestral homeland and that it should be a 
     priority to ensure reintegration and restoration of 
     fundamental human rights.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Prohibition of unauthorized military force in or against Iran
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1229) that 
     would prohibit the use of

[[Page H9814]]

     Federal funds for any use of military force in or against 
     Iran unless Congress has declared war or enacted a specific 
     statutory authorization.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on Russian military involvement in the AFRICOM AOR

     the Secretary of State, not later than 120 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act to provide a report to the 
     appropriate congressional committees on military assistance 
     provided by the Russian Federation or any private military

     countries in the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility 
     (AOR).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate not later than 120 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act on the presence, 
     activities, and strategic objectives of the Russian 
     Federation in Africa. The briefing shall address, at a 
     minimum, the following:
       1) A description of the presence, activities, and strategic 
     objectives of the Russian Federation in Africa.
       2) A description of all known bilateral agreements between 
     Russia and African governments negotiated since 2014, 
     including military and technical cooperation, arms sales, and 
     mineral exploration.
       3) An analysis of any direct or indirect military support 
     Russia or private military corporations based in Russia are 
     providing to state and non-state armed groups in Africa, 
     including a description of the types of support.
       4) A description of arms sales within the previous calendar 
     year by the Russian defense sector to African countries, and 
     an analysis of whether any of such arms sales constitute 
     significant transactions within the meaning of section 231 of 
     the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 
     2017 (22 U.S.C. 9525).
       5) An analysis of the extent to which such arms sales may 
     be in violation of United Nations Security Council-imposed 
     arms embargoes in Africa, including with regard to South 
     Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central 
     African Republic.
       6) An analysis of Russian disinformation and propaganda 
     operations in African countries, and the extent to which such 
     operations pose a risk to United States interests in Africa.
       7) A description of any plans to counteract destabilizing 
     Russian activities in Africa.
       8) Any other matters the Secretary deems relevant.
     United States actions relating to Russian interference in 
         elections for Federal office
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1240B) that 
     would impose a prohibition on transactions relating to new 
     Russian sovereign debt, require a determination of Russian

     Extension and modification of report on military and security 
         developments involving North Korea
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1242) that 
     would amend section 1236 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to 
     extend and modify the requirement to provide a report on the 
     military and security developments involving the Democratic 
     People's Republic of Korea.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that Congress's ability to evaluate the 
     security threat posed by North Korea and to conduct oversight 
     of United States policy toward North Korea has been impaired 
     by a lack of transparency and associated delays in providing 
     information necessary for such oversight. For example, the 
     report to Congress on the status of North Korea's nuclear 
     program to establish a baseline of progress for negotiations 
     with respect to denuclearization as required by section 1265 
     of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) was recently submitted 
     over 300 days late. The conferees reiterate support for 
     diplomatic efforts to achieve the denuclearization of North 
     Korea. The conferees urge the Administration to review its 
     policies related to North Korea to ensure they are consistent 
     with a priority on open and timely communication with the 
     Congress.

         capabilities of China and Russia

     congressional committees a report on the military 
     capabilities of China and Russia.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       Not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, 
     the conferees direct the Director of the Defense Intelligence 
     Agency to provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     House of Representatives and the Senate a briefing concerning 
     the military capabilities of China and Russia, including: (1) 
     an update on the presence, status, and capability of the 
     military with respect to any national training centers 
     similar to the Combat Training Center Program of the United 
     States; (2) an analysis of a readiness deployment cycle of 
     the military, including as compared to such a cycle of the 
     United States and an identification of metrics used in the 
     national training centers of that military; (3) a 
     comprehensive investigation into the capability and readiness 
     of the mechanized logistics of the army of the military, 
     including an analysis of field maintenance, sustainment 
     maintenance, movement control, intermodal operations, and 
     supply, and how such functions interact with specific 
     echelons of that military; and (4) an assessment of the 
     future of mechanized army logistics of the military.

         security cooperation with India

     sec. 1250I) concerning defense and security cooperation with 
     India.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       In addition to regular briefings and reports on U.S.-India 
     defense relations, the conferees direct the Department of 
     Defense to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
     committees on U.S.-India defense cooperation in the Western 
     Indian Ocean no later than March 1, 2020. Topics to be 
     covered in the briefing shall include: (1) a description of 
     military activities of the United States and India, 
     separately, in the Western Indian Ocean; (2) a description of 
     military cooperation activities between the United States and 
     India in the Western Indian Ocean; (3) a description of how 
     the relevant geographic combatant commands coordinate their 
     activities with the Indian military in the Western Indian 
     Ocean and the mechanisms in place to ensure such cooperation 
     is maximized; (4) a description of how the major defense 
     partnership with India will be utilized to enhance 
     cooperation in the Western Indian Ocean; and (5) areas of 
     future opportunity to increase military engagement with India

         the Freely Associated States
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250E) that 
     would express the sense of the Congress concerning the 
     enduring commitment of the United States to the Freely 
     Associated States.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize that the United States has strong 
     and enduring interests in the security and prosperity of 
     Oceania and the Western Pacific region, including close 
     relationships with the countries of Palau, the Marshall 
     Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia, with whom 
     the United States shares Compacts of Free Association. The 
     United States and the Freely Associated States share 
     values including democracy and human rights, as well as 
     mutual interest in a free, open, and prosperous Indo-
     Pacific region. Therefore, the conferees believe the 
     United States should expeditiously begin negotiations on 
     the renewal of the Compacts of Free Association and 
     conclude such negotiations prior to the expiration of the 
     current compacts in 2023 and 2024.
     Sense of Congress on United States-India defense relationship

       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees underscore that the United States-Japan 
     alliance remains the cornerstone of peace and security for a 
     free and open Indo-Pacific region. The conferees also 
     recognize that the Government of Japan has made among the 
     most significant ``burden sharing'' contributions of any 
     United States ally, including through direct cost sharing, 
     paying for the realignment of United States forces currently 
     stationed in Okinawa, community support, and other alliance-
     related expenditures.

     European Center of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1258) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide $2.0 
     million for the European Center of Excellence for Countering

     Center of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats 
     (henceforth referred to as ``the Center''), and encourage the 
     Department of Defense to cooperate fully and actively with 
     the Center. The conferees note that the Center could play an 
     important role in addressing the strategic challenge 
     described by the National Defense Strategy: revisionist 
     powers and rogue regimes increasing ``efforts short of armed 
     conflict by expanding coercion to new fronts, violating 
     principles of sovereignty, exploiting ambiguity, and 
     deliberately blurring the lines between civil and military 
     goals.'' The conferees also anticipate the Center serving as 
     a unique forum to address the common concerns of 
     transatlantic democracies and as a hallmark of cooperation 
     between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the 
     European Union.
       To better understand the full scope of capability and 
     impact the Center could have to further the strategic and 
     operational objectives of the Department of Defense, the 
     conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives a briefing, no later than 60 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, on the Center, including the following 
     components: the strategic vision for the Center, associated 
     resources and manpower, planned or current activities, and 
     intended engagement strategy of the Department with the 
     Center.

     Sense of Congress on European investments in national 
         security

     would express the sense of Congress that the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) is central to United States-
     European defense matters and that military cooperation and 
     coordination in Europe among NATO member countries should 
     complement NATO efforts and not detract from NATO military 
     system interoperability and burden sharing among NATO allies.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the importance of NATO is addressed 
     elsewhere in this report.

         States students against foreign assets
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1260) that

     the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to update the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House no later than March 15, 2019 on the 
     status of the program required in section 1277 of the John S. 
     McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2018, including an assessment of whether the program is 
     beneficial to students interning, working part time, or in a 
     program that will result in post-graduation employment with 
     the Department of Defense components or contractors.
     Sense of Senate on enhanced cooperation with Pacific Island 
         countries to establish open-source intelligence fusion 
         centers in the Indo-Pacific region
       The Senate bill contained two provisions (sec. 1260 and 
     sec. 6202) that would express the sense of the Senate that 
     U.S. Indo-Pacific Command should pursue the establishment of 
     one or more open-source intelligence fusion centers in the 
     Indo-Pacific region to enhance cooperation with Pacific 
     Island countries.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

         Niger
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1263) that

     Maintenance, Defense-Wide, Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense, for Travel of Persons, until the Secretary of 
     Defense submits a report containing a description of each 
     award and disciplinary action issued, by rank, as a result of 
     the AR 15-6 investigation findings relating to the incident 
     in Niger on October 4, 2017.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees have serious concerns about the executive 
     branch's handling of the ambush in Niger that occurred on 
     October 4, 2017, which led to the death of four U.S. 
     servicemembers. These concerns include the Department of 
     Defense's repeated delays in providing to Congress the report 
     on the investigation into the incident as well as information 
     on the disciplinary actions issued in connection with the 
     incident. The executive branch has a duty to conduct itself 
     with candor and it must act in a way that is transparent and 
     responsive to congressional oversight.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit to the Armed Services Committees of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate not later than January 15, 
     2020 a report containing a description of each disciplinary 
     action issued by rank as a result of the AR 15-6 
     investigation findings relating to the incident in Niger on 
     October 4, 2017. The report shall be submitted in a format 
     that protects personally identifiable information and is 
     consistent with national security.

       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1266) that 
     would establish that nothing in this Act or any amendment 
     made by this Act may be construed to authorize the use of 
     military force against Venezuela.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Restriction on emergency authority relating to arms sales 
         under the Arms Export Control Act
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1270) that 
     would amend section 36 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 
     U.S.C. 2776) by modifying a restriction on emergency 
     authority requiring the President to consult with appropriate 
     congressional committees not later than 3 days after the 
     determination and submit further certifications to 
     Congress. The modifications would also require the 
     delivery of defense articles within 90 days of the 
     issuance of the emergency determination and the submittal 
     of a report to Congress not later than 30 days after the 
     delivery of defense articles. Further, the waiver of

     cooperation with and among NATO allies.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1270A) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit 
     a report concerning defense spending by each mutual defense 
     treaty ally and major non-NATO ally of the United States, as 
     well as other matters.
       These legislative provisions were not adopted.
       Not later than 60 days after the date on which the next 
     annual report of the Secretary General of the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) for the preceding calendar year is

     allies to collective defense and shared security are 
     critical. The conferees note that reports relating to ally

       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1270B) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that Israel has been one

     of potential challenges, including threats from Iran.

     Health Program at the levels identified in section 4502 of 
     division D of this Act.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     1510).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (sec. 1520)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that 
     would extend the authority to continue certain established 
     provisions applicable to the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund 
     (ASFF), including the use of funds, transfer authority, and 
     acceptance of contributions to provide assistance to the 
     security forces of the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of 
     Interior of Afghanistan and to increase the recruitment and 
     integration of women into the Afghan National Defense and 
     Security Forces (ANDSF).
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1521) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit an 
     assessment of the Government of Afghanistan's ability to meet 
     shared security objectives and manage, employ, and sustain 
     equipment divested under ASFF, and would require the 
     Secretary to withhold $450,000,000 until such time as the 
     Secretary can certify that the Government of Afghanistan has 
     made sufficient progress in these areas. It would also set a 
     goal of using $45.5 million to support efforts to promote the 
     recruitment, training, integration, and retention of Afghan 
     women into the ANDSF.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to the elements of the 
     required assessment.
       The conferees understand that the Department recently 
     modified long standing guidance on the use of ASFF to cover 
     program management expenses by transitioning the 
     responsibility for costs associated with Indirect Assistance 
     to the Services. It is the conferees' understanding that ASFF 
     should cover all costs associated with building the ANDSF, 
     including program and security assistance management support. 
     The conferees know of no reason for such a change and 
     encourage the Department to revisit this internal policy 
     decision. The conferees direct the Department to brief the 
     congressional defense committees on its policy regarding 
     program management expenses within 60 days after the 
     enactment of this Act.

       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1522) that 
     would authorize the transfer of up to $2.5 billion of 
     additional war-related authorizations in this subtitle among 
     the accounts in this subtitle.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1512) that would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer 
     up to $500 million.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would set the 
     transfer level at $2.0 billion.

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


                              BUDGET ITEMS

     Standard Missile-3 Block IIA flight test against 
         intercontinental ballistic missile target
       The budget request included $53.8 million across several 
     defense-wide research, development, test and evaluation lines 
     to conduct a flight test of the Standard Missile-3 Block IIA 
     (SM-3 IIA) against an intercontinental ballistic missile 
     (ICBM) target (``FTM-44'').
       The House amendment would authorize a reduction of $41.7 
     million below the request.
       The Senate bill would authorize the funding level in the 
     request.
       The conference agreement authorizes the funding level in 
     the request.
       The conferees note that a Government Accountability Office 
     assessment (``Missile Defense: Delivery Delays Provide 
     Opportunity for Increased Testing to Better Understand 
     Capability,'' GAO-19-387) found that the SM-3 IIA has not 
     been adequately tested against threats it was designed to 
     intercept, potentially leading to design issues being 
     discovered well into production of interceptors. Further, the 
     Director for Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) stated 
     that flight test failures of the SM-3 IIA in operational 
     testing should have been discovered in developmental testing 
     that was not conducted. The conferees strongly urge the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency and DOT&E to look for 
     opportunities to conduct additional tests of the SM-3 IIA 
     against threats it was designed to intercept, adhering to 
     fly-before-you-buy principles. Additionally, the conferees 
     recommend continued engagement with allies to discuss 
     potential policy implications of the planned SM-3 IIA ICBM 
     flight test.

     year 2020 to 75 percent for the Army for the lower tier air 
     and missile defense sensor until the Secretary of the Army 
     provides a report to the congressional defense committees on 
     the results of the test events held in the third quarter of 
     fiscal year 2019, and on the decision of the Army to award a 
     contract for initial operational capability based on those 
     test events.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Plan for the redesigned kill vehicle replacement (sec. 1687)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1675) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     (MDA) to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees on the delay in the Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV) 
     program.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 1676) that 
     would require the Director to submit a report on options to 
     increase the capability, capacity, and reliability of the 
     ground-based midcourse defense system, including the 
     infrastructure requirements for increasing the number of 
     ground-based interceptors.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1663) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Director of the 
     MDA must address the technical issues with the RKV program 
     before moving forward with development, procurement, and 
     fielding of the vehicle. The provision would also modify the 
     waiver contained in section 1683(b) of the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115-232), which prohibited a lot production 
     decision for the RKV until after a successful intercept 
     flight test, such that the Secretary of Defense would also 
     need to conduct an assessment of the missile developments of 
     both North Korea and Iran during the 18-month period 
     preceding the date of the waiver.
       The House recedes with amendments that would add a sense of 
     Congress addressing the termination by the Department of the 
     RKV contract in August 2019 and encouraging the Director to 
     proceed with a follow-on program guided by principles of 
     responsible acquisition, including conducting a successful 
     flight test before making production decisions. The 
     amendments would also modify certain elements of the 
     reporting requirement to reflect the program replacing the 
     RKV, and include elements of the report from section 1676 of 
     the Senate bill. Finally, the amendments would prohibit the 
     obligation or expenditure of more than 50 percent of fiscal 
     year 2020 funds for the next-generation improved homeland 
     defense interceptor until the Secretary of Defense submits 
     such report.
     Organization, authorities, and billets of the Missile Defense 
         Agency (sec. 1688)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1674) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate in support of the 
     nonstandard acquisition processes used by the Missile Defense 
     Agency (MDA). It would also prohibit obligation or 
     expenditure of funds to change these processes until the 
     Secretary of Defense has consulted with a number of senior 
     defense officials with responsibility for aspects of missile 
     defense, submitted a report to the congressional defense 
     committees, and allowed 270 days to elapse after submittal.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1665) that 
     would contain a similar prohibition on obligation or 
     expenditure of funds until the Secretary notifies the 
     congressional defense committees of the proposed changes to 
     the nonstandard acquisition processes, and allows 90 days to 
     elapse after such notification. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract 
     with a federally funded research and development center 
     (FFRDC) to assess the organization of the MDA under the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, in 
     comparison with alternative organizational structures, and 
     assess the risks and benefits of transitioning the MDA to the 
     standard Department of Defense acquisition process. Finally, 
     the provision would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from 
     transferring civilian or military billets from the MDA to any 
     element of the Department under the authority of the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering until the 
     Secretary notifies the congressional defense committees of 
     the proposed transfer, and allows 90 days to elapse after 
     such notification.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     deadline for submission of the FFRDC assessment by 30 days, 
     retain the report required in the notice in the Senate 
     provision with the addition of the Under Secretary of Defense 
     for Acquisition and Sustainment as a consulted official, and 
     change the waiting period after the notification of any 
     change to the acquisition processes to 120 days.
     Annual assessment of ballistic missile defense system (sec. 
         1689)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1670) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that operational test and 
     evaluation of the ballistic missile defense system (BMDS) 
     should be conducted thoroughly in accordance with title 10, 
     United States Code. The provision would also require the 
     Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to include in the 
     annual report to Congress under section 139 of title 10, 
     United States Code, an assessment of the BMDS, including all 
     elements of the system that are fielded or are planned to be 
     fielded.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     sense of Congress.
     Command and control, battle management, and communications 
         program (sec. 1690)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1669) that 
     would prohibit the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) from 
     releasing the command and control, battle management, and 
     communications (C2BMC) program to foreign partners until the 
     Director of the MDA submits a report to the appropriate 
     congressional committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Missile defense interceptor site in contiguous United States 
         (sec. 1691)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1679) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to make available to 
     the public the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared 
     in accordance with section 227(b) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1666) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to designate the 
     preferred location of a missile defense site in the 
     contiguous United States from among the locations evaluated 
     pursuant to section 227. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     report on such designation.

[[Page H9827]]

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     requirement to designate a preferred location but retain the 
     requirement for a report.
       The conferees note that the EIS was made available to the 
     public in August 2019. The conferees also note that the 
     Secretary identified a preferred location in June 2019, while 
     maintaining the determination made in the Missile Defense 
     Review that there is no operational requirement to develop a 
     third site in the contiguous United States at this time.
     Independent study on impacts of missile defense development 
         and deployment (sec. 1692)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1672) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
     agreement with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a 
     study on the impacts of the development and deployment of 
     U.S. long-range missile defenses on the security of the 
     United States as a whole.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with several clarifying amendments and 
     an amendment that would change the entity conducting the 
     study to a federally funded research and development center.
     Report and briefing on multi-volume kill capability (sec. 
         1693)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1673) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
     Engineering to submit to the congressional defense committees 
     a report on the potential need for a multi-object kill 
     vehicle in future architecture of the ballistic missile 
     defense system.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with several technical and clarifying 
     amendments, as well as an amendment that would require the 
     Under Secretary to coordinate such report with the Director 
     of the Missile Defense Agency, the Under Secretary of Defense 
     for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the Director of Cost 
     Assessment and Program Evaluation.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters

     Extension of authorization for protection of certain 
         facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft (sec. 1694)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1682) that 
     would provide an extension of the authority that exists in 
     Title 10, United States Code, section 130i, for protection of 
     Department of Defense facilities and assets associated with 
     certain mission areas from unauthorized operation of unmanned 
     aircraft.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     existing authority to the year 2023.
       The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide a report to the congressional defense committees not 
     later than April 1, 2020 that details how the Secretary plans 
     to protect Department of Defense ammunition manufacturing 
     facilities that are government-owned and contractor-operated 
     from unauthorized overflight of unmanned aircraft not covered 
     by the protection authority provided under Title 10, United 
     States Code, section 130i, concerning protection of certain 
     facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft. The report 
     should also include recommendations, if appropriate, 
     regarding any legislative authorities that may be required to 
     protect these facilities.
     Repeal of requirement for commission on electromagnetic pulse 
         attacks and similar events (sec. 1695)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1683) that 
     would acknowledge the release of the Executive Order dated 
     March 26, 2019, on coordinating national resilience to 
     electromagnetic pulses (EMP), and repeal the requirement in 
     section 1691 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) for a congressional 
     commission on EMP.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Transferability of conventional prompt global strike weapon 
         system technologies to surface-launched platforms (sec. 
         1697)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1684) that 
     would express the sense of Congress related to hypersonic 
     weapon systems, prohibit any fiscal year 2020 funds for a 
     submarine-launched conventional prompt global strike 
     capability unless such capability is transferable to a 
     surface-launched platform, and require the Secretary of the 
     Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees on the programmatic changes required to integrate 
     such a system into surface ships.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the 
     sense of Congress and change the prohibition to a requirement 
     that the Secretary of the Navy ensure that technologies 
     developed for such a system are transferable to surface-
     launched platforms.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for certain offensive 
         ground-launched ballistic or cruise missile systems (sec. 
         1698)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1270J) that 
     would make a series of findings related to the U.S. 
     withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) 
     Treaty. The provision would also prohibit the use of any 
     funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for research 
     and development, procurement, or deployment of a ground-
     launched intermediate-range ballistic or cruise missile 
     system, unless the Secretary of Defense submits a report to 
     Congress related to the termination of the INF Treaty and the 
     development or deployment of INF-range missile systems.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the 
     findings and modify the prohibition to apply only to fiscal 
     year 2020 funds for procurement or deployment of such 
     systems. The amendments would also separate the report from 
     the prohibition, modify the required contents of the report, 
     and apply a deadline of January 31, 2020.
     Hard and deeply buried targets (sec. 1699)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1683) that 
     would require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in 
     consultation with the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a classified 
     report on hard and deeply buried targets associated with U.S. 
     military operations plans, including an assessment of the 
     ability of the United States to hold such targets at risk 
     currently and as projected in 2030. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to ensure 
     the United States possesses capabilities to pose a credible 
     deterrent threat against such targets by 2025, and submit a 
     recurring certification that such plan is being implemented.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with amendments that would change the 
     report to a briefing, strike the certification requirement, 
     and add certain elements to the content of the briefing.


                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Intelligence assessment of relationship between women and 
         violent extremism
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1614) that 
     would require, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Director 
     of National Intelligence, in consultation with the Secretary 
     of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the head of any 
     element of the intelligence community the Director determines 
     appropriate, shall submit an intelligence assessment on the 
     relationship between women and violent extremism and 
     terrorism.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that elsewhere in this Act is a 
     provision that would require the Secretary of Defense to seek 
     to enter into a contract with an independent research and 
     development center to conduct an independent analysis on 
     gender and violent extremism.
     Modification of term of Commander of Air Force Space Command
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that 
     would change the term of the Commander, Air Force Space 
     Command, from 6 years to 4 years.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Funding for Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1615) that 
     would increase, by $5,206,997 the amounts available in 
     section 301 for Operation and Maintenance for Defense 
     Security Service for the purposes of acquiring advanced cyber 
     threat detection sensors, hunt and response mechanisms, and 
     commercial cyber threat intelligence. The provision would 
     include an offset in section 4101, for Integrated personnel 
     and pay system.

       The House recedes.
     Report on potential Defense Intelligence Polygraph 
         Examination Military Transition Program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1616) that 
     would require, not later than one year after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to submit a report assessing the feasibility of 
     establishing a Defense Intelligence Polygraph Examination 
     Military Transition Program for members of the Armed Services 
     transitioning to civilian employment.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to submit a report not later than one year after the 
     date of enactment of this Act to the Armed Services 
     Committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
     that assesses the advisability and feasibility of 
     establishing a Defense Intelligence Polygraph Examination 
     Military

[[Page H9828]]

     Transition Program for members of the Armed Forces 
     transitioning to civilian employment. The report shall 
     include, at a minimum, the following:
       (1) A review of the feasibility of establishing a program 
     in the Department of Defense under which members of the Armed 
     Forces with an active top secret security clearance that 
     provides for access to sensitive compartmented information 
     and a current counterintelligence scope polygraph examination 
     can be provided an opportunity to obtain an expanded scope 
     polygraph (ESP) if the member receives a written offer of 
     employment, subject to suitability or security vetting, with 
     an element of the intelligence community or a contractor of 
     such an element;
       (2) The cost to the Department of Defense for implementing 
     such program and whether such cost could be shared by other 
     departments or agencies of the Federal Government or the 
     private sector;
       (3) The factors the Department needs to consider in 
     determining whether such program would be viable;
       (4) The obstacles that exist in implementing such program;
       (5) Whether such a program could increase workforce 
     diversity in the intelligence community;
       (6) Whether such a program could increase or decrease 
     retention among members of the Armed Forces serving in 
     defense intelligence roles;
       (7) Whether any changes are required to be made to policies 
     of the Department or to Federal law to implement such a 
     program;
       (8) Identification of the current average length of time in 
     the intelligence community to investigate and adjudicate an 
     initial and a periodic update top secret security clearance 
     that provides for access to sensitive compartmented 
     information and conduct an expanded scope polygraph;
       (9) Any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
     relevant.
     National Security Space Launch Program
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1616) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of the Air Force from modifying 
     the acquisition schedule for phase 2 of the National Security 
     Space Launch (NSSL) program or from awarding missions to more 
     than two launch service providers.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1601) that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     stay on schedule for Phase 2 of the NSSL program, but would 
     reopen competition after the first 29 launches of phase 2 and 
     award $500 million to providers that have not entered into a 
     phase 2 contract for launch services occurring before fiscal 
     year 2022, or have entered into a phase 2 contract but have 
     not entered into a Launch Services Agreement, or both. The 
     provision would require the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     notify Congress of its down select decision before the public 
     announcement, and require a report on the total defense 
     investments made for each awardee and how such investments 
     were accounted for in the evaluation of the offers.
       The conference agreement does not include either provision.
     Cybersecurity Defense Academy pilot program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1636) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
     program to create a public-private partnership that would 
     train and place veterans as cybersecurity personnel within 
     the Department of Defense.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Expansion of authority for access and information relating to 
         cyberattacks on Department of Defense operationally 
         critical contractors
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1644) that 
     would amend section 391 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     extend the ability of the Department of Defense (DOD) to 
     react immediately to reports of intrusions that may affect 
     critical DOD data.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees are sympathetic to the need for this 
     additional authority, which the Department already has in the 
     case of cleared defense contractors and which the Department 
     requested via a legislative proposal. The Department relies 
     on operationally critical contractors to move troops and 
     supplies across the world, in peacetime and during conflict, 
     and adversaries' cyberattacks on these critical contractors 
     pose a genuine threat to the Department's conduct of 
     operations. The conferees, however, are concerned that the 
     Department's legislative proposal was not scoped in such a 
     way that this authority would be operationalized through 
     contractual mechanisms. The conferees are also concerned that 
     the Department's broader efforts to improve the cybersecurity 
     of its contractors and the Department's ability to respond in 
     the event of a cyberattack are primarily focused on the 
     defense industrial base as traditionally conceived of--
     namely, those companies that supply the Department's weapons 
     systems. The cybersecurity of operationally critical 
     contractors is at least as important as that of traditional 
     defense industrial base contractors, and the conferees seek 
     greater clarity as to what efforts are underway to ensure 
     their cybersecurity.
       The conferees therefore direct the Commander of U.S. 
     Transportation Command, the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment, the Chief Information Officer, 
     and the Director of the Protecting Critical Technologies Task 
     Force to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and House of Representatives, no later than 90 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, on: (1) The expected use-case for the 
     requested authority; (2) The expected implementation through 
     contractual mechanisms of such an authority; (3) The need for 
     and purpose of subsections (2) and (3) of the legislative 
     proposal; and (4) How the Department is treating 
     operationally critical contractors within its broader efforts 
     to secure the defense industrial base against cyber attacks 
     and respond, in the event of a cyberattack, more aggressively 
     in its investigatory and counterintelligence actions.
       The conferees look forward to this briefing and to 
     legislating on this issue in the Fiscal Year 2021 National 
     Defense Authorization Act.
     Briefing on memorandum of understanding relating to joint 
         operational planning and control of cyberattacks of 
         national scale
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1645) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing, 
     not later than March 1, 2020, to the congressional defense 
     and homeland security committees on the Joint Department of 
     Defense and Department of Homeland Security Memorandum of 
     Understanding, signed by the Secretary of Defense on October 
     6, 2018.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives a briefing on the Joint 
     Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security 
     Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Secretary of 
     Defense on October 6, 2018.
       The briefing shall include information on the following: 
     (1) The number of planners assigned by the Department of 
     Defense to line of effort three and line of effort four and 
     the areas of expertise of those planners; (2) Whether the 
     these planners are physically co-located with their 
     counterparts in the Department of Homeland Security and are 
     assigned full-time or part-time to line of effort three and 
     line of effort four; (3) Under what authority these planners 
     have been assigned; (4) The status of the development of 
     operational plans and playbooks that will be implemented in 
     response to actual cyberattacks of national scale; (5) The 
     standing arrangements for interagency coordination and 
     orchestration of response in the event of a cyberattack of 
     national scale, including the status of the process 
     established in Presidential Policy Directive-41 and the 
     relevant principal, organization, and staff tasked with 
     orchestrating a whole-of-government response; (6) The charter

     Clarification of authority of Inspectors General for overseas 
         contingency operations (sec. 1733)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6512) that 
     would amend section 8L(d)(2) of the Inspector General Act of 
     1978 (5 U.S.C. App), to enhance cooperation among Inspectors 
     General and encourage comprehensive oversight of any 
     contingency operation. The provision provides that upon 
     request by the Inspector General with principal jurisdiction 
     over a matter with respect to a contingency operation, and 
     with the approval of the lead Inspector General, an Inspector 
     General specified in the Act may provide investigative 
     support or conduct an independent investigation of any 
     allegation of criminal activity by any United States person

       In the case of a determination by the lead Inspector 
     General that no Inspector General has principal jurisdiction 
     over a matter with respect to a contingency operation, the 
     lead Inspector General may conduct an independent 
     investigation of such criminal allegations, or request that 
     an Inspector General specified in the Act do so.
       Finally, the provision clarifies that any Inspector General 
     responsible for conducting oversight of any program or

     Inspector General for an overseas contingency operation.
       Further, the provision establishes that upon completion of 
     2 years of continuous service in the employ of a lead 
     Inspector General for an overseas contingency operation, an 
     employee acquires competitive status for appointment to any 
     position in the competitive service for which he or she 
     possesses the requisite qualifications. This enhanced 
     appointment authority will sunset as to persons first 
     employed by a lead Inspector General for an overseas 
     contingency operation more than 2 years after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.

     termination date and add an authority to accept gifts.
       The conferees are pleased that the National Security 
     Commission on Artificial Intelligence has begun executing its 
     critical mandate with resolve and purpose. The original 
     intent of the conferees was to create a Commission with 
     limited duration and minimal staffing and with status as an 
     independent entity. The conferees acknowledge the President 
     of the United States' signing statement of August 13, 2018, 
     that the Commission will be treated as an independent entity, 
     separate from the executive branch due to its legislative 
     branch appointees and the necessity to uphold the separation 
     of powers. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide appropriate resources to enable the Commission to 
     process and support security classification and 
     administrative related issues as well as comply with other 
     legal requirements.

     disability, combat-related injury or disability, or death of 
     a member of the uniformed services from being included in 
     bankruptcy calculations.

     1099K).

     by extending the postage stamp for breast cancer research to 
     2027.

     from the Secretary of Defense within 120 days after the 
     Commission submits its report that would include: (1) an 
     assessment of the findings and conclusions of the Commission;

     recommendations of the Commission; and (3) any other actions 
     taken or planned by the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary 
     of any of the military departments to improve military 
     aviation safety.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees understand that the Commission is relying 
     heavily on the services' safety centers for data, which is 
     appropriate. However, the conferees also understand that the 
     Commission may be intending to rely solely on the safety 
     centers for analysis of that data. The conferees believe it 
     is important for the Commission to conduct its own 
     independent analysis of the data in order to develop its own 
     set of conclusions and recommendations.

     electromagnetic pulses and geomagnetic disturbances. The

     Security, in coordination with other relevant agency 
     officials, to submit several reports to the appropriate

            DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS

     Summary and explanation of funding tables
       Division B of this Act authorizes funding for military 
     construction projects of the Department of Defense. It 
     includes funding authorizations for the construction and 
     operation of military family housing as well as military 
     construction for the reserve components, the defense 
     agencies, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security 
     Investment Program. It also provides authorization for the 
     base closure accounts that fund military construction, 
     environmental cleanup, and other activities required to 
     implement the decisions in base closure rounds. The tables 
     contained in this Act provide the project-level 
     authorizations for the military construction funding 
     authorized in Division B of this Act and summarize that 
     funding by account.
       The conferees continue to believe in the value and 
     appropriateness of providing a full authorization but 
     incremental authorization of appropriations for certain 
     military construction projects. The conferees believe 
     incremental funding of large and complex military 
     construction projects enables the Department to execute 
     additional infrastructure projects in a fiscal year, enables 
     continuous congressional oversight, and provides 
     opportunities to adjust the authorization of appropriations 
     level for projects should issues arise or requirements change 
     over the course of construction. In instances where the 
     conference agreement provides full authorization but 
     incremental authorization of appropriations for certain 
     military construction projects, the committee expects the 
     Department to award these projects in the year of 
     authorization and not defer award until the full 
     appropriation amount is received.
     Short title (sec. 2001)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 2001) that 
     would designate division B of this Act as the Military 
     Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020.''
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     2001).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Expiration of authorizations and amounts required to be 
         specified by law (sec. 2002)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 2002) that 
     would establish the expiration date for authorizations in 
     this Act for military construction projects, land 
     acquisition, family housing projects, and contributions to 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment 
     Program as of October

                 Title XXI--Army Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included $1,453,499,000 for Army 
     military construction and $499,279,000 for family housing for 
     fiscal year 2020. The conference agreement includes 
     authorization of appropriations of $1,270,999,000 for 
     military construction and $604,012,000 for family housing for 
     the Army in fiscal year 2020.
       The agreement includes authorization and authorization of 
     appropriations for 3 military construction projects that were 
     not included in the budget request but submitted to the 
     congressional defense committees as part of the Army's 
     unfunded requirements list. These projects include: $40.0 
     million for an Air Traffic Control Tower and Terminal at 
     Kwajalein Atoll; $21.0 million for a Railhead at Fort Drum, 
     New York; and $18.5 million for a Vehicle Bridge at Fort 
     Hood, Texas.
       The agreement also includes authorization and authorization 
     of appropriations of $27.0 million for the Secretary of the 
     Army to carry out Child Development Center projects, with 
     prior notification to the congressional defense committees. 
     The conferees recommend the Secretary use this authority to 
     alleviate issues with the condition and capacity of Child 
     Development Centers in support of military families.
       The agreement provides for full authorization and 
     incremental authorization of appropriations in an amount 
     equal to the Department's ability to execute in the year of 
     the authorization of appropriations for the following 
     projects: Cyber Instruction Facility (Admin/Command) at Fort 
     Gordon, Georgia; and the General Instruction Building at 
     Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania.
       The agreement provides an additional $5,000,000 for Family 
     Housing, Construction Army Planning and Design for the 
     housing pilot program mandated in this Act.
       Finally, the conferees note that the budget request 
     included $211.0 million in Army military construction as a 
     placeholder to support the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air 
     Force response to the challenges facing the management and 
     oversight of Military Housing Privatization Initiative 
     developments. The conferees support additional resources to 
     hire additional civilian personnel at the headquarters and 
     installation level to improve the management and oversight 
     of MHPI developments. The conferees also support applying 
     additional resources towards improved maintenance of 
     government-owned and operated housing units. However, the 
     conferees believe these resources should be directed to 
     the appropriate military departments' family housing 
     accounts. Therefore, the agreement recommends a reduction 
     of $211.0 million from the placeholder, but an increase of 
     $54.7 million for Army Family Housing Maintenance and 
     $45.0 million for Army Housing Privatization Support.

       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2101) that would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide a study of near-term facility alternatives to house 
     high value detainees current detained at Naval Station 
     Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Family housing (sec. 2102)

     provision would also authorize funds for facilities that 
     support family housing, including housing management offices, 
     housing maintenance, and storage facilities.

     projects for the active component of the Army. The state list 
     contained in this report is the binding list of the specific 
     projects authorized at each location.

         National Guard and Air Force Reserve installations
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 2607) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force, in conjunction 
     with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), to complete a review 
     on the construction of new, or maintenance of existing, 
     direct fuel pipeline connections at Air National Guard (ANG) 
     and Air Force Reserve (AFRES) installations.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force, in 
     conjunction with the DLA, to complete a review on the 
     construction of new, or maintenance of existing, direct fuel 
     pipeline connections at ANG and AFRES installations not later 
     than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. 
     The review should contain the following elements:
       (1) An analysis of the extent to which the Air Force and 
     DLA have identified direct fuel pipeline projects as an 
     effective and efficient way to enhance the ability of regular 
     component, ANG, and AFRES installations to improve the 
     readiness of affected units and help them to meet their 
     mission requirements. This should include an assessment of 
     how the ANG and AFRES facilities, across all States and 
     territories, can leverage such connections to better support 
     current and emerging air refueling requirements.
       (2) An assessment of how direct fuel pipeline connections 
     enhance the resiliency and efficiency of the installations 
     and help meet existing DLA requirements for secondary storage 
     and other fuel requirements.
       (3) A list of ANG and AFRES installations that do not 
     currently have a direct connection pipeline but have access 
     to such a pipeline within reasonable proximity (less than 5 
     miles) to the facility.
       (4) An overview and summary of the current process for 
     considering such proposals, including the factors used to 
     consider requests, the weight provided to each factor, and a 
     list of ANG and AFRES installations that have sought funding 
     for projects to create direct access to a national fuel 
     pipeline or to maintain access to such pipelines over the 
     last 5 years.
       (5) A list of the total instances in the past 5 years in 
     which projects for direct fuel pipeline connections have been 
     approved for regular component, ANG, or AFRES installations, 
     including the costs of each project and the justification for 
     such approval.
       (6) A list of ANG and AFFRES installations with current 
     pipeline connections that the Air Force or DLA has determined 
     should no longer be used, including:
       (A) An analysis of the justifications for each 
     determination, such as decisions to switch from pipelines to 
     trucks as the primary fuel delivery method;
       (B) An assessment of whether these determinations fairly 
     weigh the costs and benefits of building or maintaining a 
     pipeline tap as a practical primary or secondary fuel 
     delivery method for the installation compared to railroad, 
     barge terminal, or truck delivery; and
       (C) An assessment of whether these determinations fairly 
     consider or weigh how direct fuel pipeline connections 
     increase security for the fuel supply by reducing the threat 
     of interruption, how the connections enhance mission 
     reliability by providing access to greater fuel storage 
     capability, and the ability of such projects once completed 
     to better support the domestic and global operations of the 
     ANG or AFRES installation.
       (7) An assessment of how costs associated with each direct 
     fuel pipeline connection project is considered by the Air 
     Force or DLA and the weight given to such costs in the final 
     analysis.
       (8) An assessment of the effectiveness or usefulness of 
     guidance or technical assistance provided to installations 
     that request or propose direct fuel pipeline connection 
     projects and recommendations for additional ways to provide 
     assistance to ensure the Air Force and DLA receive the most 
     up-to-date information about the costs and benefits of 
     proposed projects from installations.
       (9) An assessment of the available funding sources though 
     the Air Force, DLA, other Department of Defense entities, or 
     other mechanisms, such as a public-private partnership or 
     enhanced use lease, that can support direct fuel pipeline 
     connection projects either in whole or in part.
       (10) An assessment of the extent to which direct fuel 
     pipeline connection projects have been incorporated in any 
     comprehensive plan the Air Force has developed or will 
     develop regarding investments needed to improve regular 
     component, ANG, and AFRES installations to meet the 
     Department's needs.
       The conferees further direct the Secretary to provide a 
     final report containing the results of the review to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than 1 year after 
     the date of enactment of this Act. The report should include 
     recommendations on how the Air Force can better expedite and 
     support the use of fuel pipelines at ANG and AFRES 
     installations. The recommendations should include options for 
     accelerating the development and consideration of such 
     projects where most feasible and appropriate, including 
     whether costs savings could be obtained by including such 
     projects as part of other related projects already authorized 
     at an installation.

 Title XXIX--Authorization of Overseas Contingency Operations Military 
            Construction and Emergency Military Construction

   Subtitle A--Overseas Contingency Operations Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included $9,844,526,000 for Overseas 
     Contingency Operations military construction for fiscal year 
     2020. The conference agreement includes $921,420,000 for 
     Overseas Contingency Operations military construction for 
     fiscal year 2020. In addition, the conference agreement 
     includes $4,119,813,000 in emergency designated funding 
     required for military construction projects in support of 
     disaster recovery efforts at several military installations.
       The agreement includes a $60.0 million increase in the 
     authorization of appropriations for Air Force Planning and 
     Design in support of overseas infrastructure requirements. In 
     addition, the agreement includes an increase of $36.2 million 
     for the Army, $36.2 million for the Navy and Marine Corps, 
     and $36.2 million for the Air Force in support of unspecified 
     military construction projects, with prior notification to 
     the congressional defense committees, that support the 
     European Deterrence Initiative.
       As noted earlier in this report, the conferees recommend 
     the transfer of certain military constructions from the Base 
     budget request to the Overseas Contingency Operations title 
     of this Act. Specifically, these projects include:
       (1) $53.3 million for an Electrical System Upgrade in 
     Bahrain;
       (2) $77.4 million for a Communications Station at 
     Sigonella, Italy;
       (3) $24.0 million for an Air Traffic Control Tower at 
     Azraq, Jordan; and

     Jordan.
       Finally, the conference agreement does not include an 
     authorization or an authorization of appropriation for a 
     High-Value Detainee Facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The 
     conferees continue to have questions about the need to 
     construct a new permanent detention facility with increased 
     capacity and capabilities. Furthermore, the conferees believe 
     the Department has not adequately assessed alternative 
     options to support current and foreseeable detention 
     requirements.

     Security submits a report to the congressional defense 
     committees containing at least one unfunded priority pursuant 
     to section 4719 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 
     2756).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add a 
     requirement that, if the Administrator determines that there 
     are no unfunded priorities to include in the report, the 
     Administrator, without delegation, shall certify and explain 
     such determination to the congressional defense committees.
     Modification to certain requirements relating to plutonium 
         pit production capacity (sec. 3116)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 8102) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate that rebuilding 
     plutonium pit production infrastructure of the National 
     Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) with a capacity of up 
     to 80 pits per year is critical to maintaining the viability 
     of the nuclear stockpile, and any further delay to achieving 
     this capability would be unacceptable. The provision would 
     also amend section 4219 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 
     U.S.C. 2538a) to repeal the requirement for the NNSA to 
     demonstrate for 90 days by 2029 the capability to produce 
     pits at a rate sufficient to produce 80 pits per year, and 
     replace it with a requirement to produce no fewer than 80 
     pits per year in 2030.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 3114) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the NNSA should 
     prioritize achieving production of 30 plutonium pits per year 
     at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and ensure that efforts to 
     design and construct a second site do not divert resources. 
     The provision would also amend section 4219 of the Atomic 
     Energy Defense Act to repeal the requirement for the 90-day 
     demonstration by 2029.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

     would make permanent the pilot program conducted under 
     section 3119 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) that temporarily 
     prohibited the use of laboratory-directed research and 
     development to cover general and administrative overhead 
     costs, including for nuclear weapons production facilities.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 3124) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
     Energy should ensure that the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration's laboratories, plants, and sites are operated 
     using generally accepted accounting best practices for 
     laboratory-, plant-, or site-directed research and 
     development. The provision would also require the 
     Administrator for Nuclear Security to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report assessing the pilot 
     program conducted under section 3119 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     pilot program conducted under section 3119 for an additional 
     year, and clarify the deadline for the report required by the 
     same section.
     Modification to limitation on availability of funds for 
         acceleration of nuclear weapons dismantlement (sec. 3119)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 3116) that 
     would repeal section 3125 of the National Defense

     including the limitation on the maximum amount of funding 
     available in a fiscal year for nuclear weapons dismantlement 
     and disposition and the limitation on acceleration of 
     dismantlement activities.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would, instead of 
     repealing section 3125, increase the limitation on 
     dismantlement funding in that section from $56.0 million to 
     $87.0 million.
     Implementation of common financial reporting system for 
         nuclear security enterprise (sec. 3120)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 8101) that 
     would prohibit obligation or expenditure of more than 90 
     percent of fiscal year 2020 funds for the National Nuclear 
     Security Administration's federal salaries and expenses 
     account for travel and transportation until the Administrator 
     for Nuclear Security completes implementation of the common 
     financial reporting system for the nuclear security 
     enterprise as required by section 3113(a) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114-328).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     obligated or expended by the Secretary of Energy to apply the 
     interpretation of high-level radioactive waste described in 
     the ``Supplemental Notice Concerning U.S. Department of 
     Energy Interpretation of High-Level Radioactive Waste'' (84 
     Fed. Reg. 26835), or successor notice, with respect to such 
     waste located in the State of Washington.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     section (b) Rule of Construction.
       The conferees note that the inclusion of the provision does 
     not prejudice how to process high-level waste nor does it 
     discourage the use of the Department of Energy's 
     interpretation of high-level waste in future years or at 
     other locations.

     review altogether.
       The conferees note that, elsewhere in this Act, a similar 
     review requirement originally contained in section 1043 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 
     (Public Law 112-81) has been further extended through 2024.

     ``Nuclear Supply Chain: NNSA Should Notify Congress of Its 
     Recommendations to Improve the Enhanced Procurement 
     Authority'' (GAO-19-606R). According to the report, the 
     National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has not used 
     the enhanced procurement authority since it was authorized in 
     2013, because of concerns related to the process. The sole 
     recommendation contained in the report is that the Secretary 
     of Energy and the Administrator of the NNSA formally 
     communicate to Congress their suggested changes to the 
     authority in a timely manner; the conferees urge the 
     Secretary and the Administrator to do so in time for

     would require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to 
     conduct an analysis of alternatives with respect to replacing 
     the W78 warhead, including the technical risks and costs for 
     each option to replace the W78. The provision would require 
     the Director for Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation 
     (CEPE) at the National Nuclear Security Administration to 
     review the analysis. The provision would further require the 
     Administrator to submit a report on the W78 replacement, 
     including the analysis of alternatives and the CEPE review, 
     and would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of more than 
     75 percent of funds for this program until such report is 
     submitted. Finally, the provision would require the 
     Administrator to arrange for the JASON advisory group to 
     conduct a study on the W78 replacement, including an

       The Senate bill contained Division F that included the 
     Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 and 
     Division G that included the Intelligence Authorization Act 
     for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
       The House amendment contained no similar provisions.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make various 
     modifications to such provisions.

                       DIVISION F--OTHER MATTERS

           Title LXXI--Sanctions With Respect to North Korea

     Sanctions with respect to North Korea and Financial Industry 
         Guidance to Halt Trafficking Act (secs. 7101-7155)
       The Senate bill contained multiple provisions (sections 
     6901, 6911-6913, 6921-6925, 6931-6935, 6941-6946, 6951-6954, 
     6961-6966) that would strengthen United States sanctions on 
     North Korea, impose oversight measures concerning sanctions 
     on North Korea, and strengthen the Department of Treasury's 
     role in combating human trafficking, among other measures.
       The House amendment contained multiple similar provisions 
     (sections 1099Z-1-1099Z-8).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide for 
     significant enhancement of economic sanctions on North Korea 
     and foreign persons involved with North Korea, including new 
     secondary banking sanctions and broadening primary trade-
     based sanctions provided for in the North Korea Sanctions and 
     Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-122), 
     hereafter referred to as NKSPEA. In addition, it would 
     provide for increased congressional oversight in response to 
     North Korea's aggressive nuclear and ballistic missile 
     testing, sanctions evasion, and global compliance failures 
     weakening enforcement of United Nations Security Council 
     (UNSC) resolutions. The amendment would also provide for 
     significant guidance to the financial industry on 
     strengthening measures to combat human trafficking.
       More specifically, the amendment would impose such 
     ``secondary banking sanctions'' as asset blocking and 
     restrictions on correspondent accounts, and any other penalty 
     authorized by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act 
     (Public Law 95-223), hereafter referred to as IEEPA, against 
     foreign financial institutions that provide financial 
     services to certain sanctioned persons. Furthermore, the 
     amendment would prohibit transactions with the same types of 
     certain sanctioned persons by persons owned or controlled by 
     U.S. financial institutions, and provides for civil IEEPA 
     penalty authority against both the person owned or controlled 
     and as appropriate its parent U.S. financial institution.
       The amendment would also expand on the list of designation 
     requirements for mandatory sanctions provided in NKSPEA, by 
     adding as mandatory: any person that engages in the import or 
     export, including of related services or technology, of coal, 
     textiles, seafood, iron, or iron ore; and in crude oil or 
     refined petroleum products above UNSC-set limits. The 
     amendment would also require the imposition of sanctions with 
     respect to any person who engages in, or otherwise 
     facilitates: a transfer of North Korean government funds or 
     property, contributing to a material violation of a UNSC 
     resolution; the exportation of workers from North Korea; the 
     sale or transfer of vessels to North Korea, or their 
     registration, chartering or insurance; bribery of a North 
     Korean official; or the significant misappropriation of 
     public funds.
       The amendment would also provide for enhanced guidance to 
     the financial industry to combat human trafficking by: 
     elevating human trafficking as an enumerated function of the 
     U.S. Treasury Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence 
     and requiring increased coordination and reporting related to 
     human trafficking; strengthening the role that anti-money 
     laundering and other tools play in combating human 
     trafficking by requiring the U.S. Inter-Agency Task Force to 
     Monitor and Combat Trafficking to provide certain policy 
     recommendations to federal regulators and to Congress; and 
     underscoring the sense of Congress that adequate funding be 
     provided for public outreach and critical federal efforts to 
     combat human trafficking at home and abroad.

                           Synthetic Opioids

         synthetic opioids (secs. 7201-7235)

     would strengthen United States sanctions against foreign 
     synthetic opioid traffickers, financial institutions, and 
     others that assist such entities. It would also establish a 
     Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking to 
     report on how to combat more effectively the flow of 
     synthetic opioids from China, Mexico, and elsewhere, among 
     other measures.

     1701-1736).
