to technological problems encountered during development will
result in a delay to the fielding of an additional 20 ground-
based interceptors at Fort Greely, Alaska, which had been
planned to be emplaced by the end of calendar year 2023;
(2) to ensure that the future next-generation improved
homeland defense interceptor program will deliver the
required capability, have rigorous technical and acquisition
oversight, and maintain schedule milestones, thereby
mitigating the risk of similar issues as experienced with the
redesigned kill vehicle, the acquisition strategy for such
program should be reviewed and jointly approved by both the
Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering

[[Page H9553]]

and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment, with input by stakeholders across the Department
of Defense prior to proceeding with development efforts and
awarding a contract; and
(3) the Department, including the Missile Defense Agency,
should uphold ``fly before you buy'' principles in such new
acquisition strategy to ensure the overall system and
components have been rigorously flight-tested prior to making
procurement decisions.
(b) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2020
for the Missile Defense Agency for the next-generation
improved homeland defense interceptor, not more than 50
percent may be obligated or expended until the date on which
the Secretary of Defense submits the report under subsection
(c).
(c) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the

generation improved homeland defense interceptor program to
replace the redesigned kill vehicle. The report shall include
the following:
(1) Updated threat assessments by the intelligence
community informing system threshold and objective
requirements.
(2) Updated requirements to address current and emerging
threats.
(3) Technical, programmatic, and cost analyses conducted on
courses of action and alternatives to meet capability
requirements, including--
(A) an independent cost estimate for each course of action
considered; and
(B) an evaluation of the technical readiness level of the
overall system and the components for each course of action
considered.
(4) Options considered to address reliability efforts of
the current fleet, understanding known deficiencies, and the
impact of not addressing such efforts and deficiencies until
the delivery of the next-generation improved homeland defense
interceptors.
(5) An obsolescence, refurbishment, and sustainment plan
for all ground-based interceptor silos, including any impacts
to the construction, delivery, and sustainment of missile
field 4 located at Fort Greely, Alaska, taking into account
the delay to emplacing additional interceptors.
(6) Possible opportunities as a result of the impacts
described in paragraph (4) for improvements to missile fields
located at Fort Greely other than missile field 4, including
additional infrastructure or components required, and
estimated schedules and costs for such opportunities.
(7) A determination of the appropriate fleet mix of ground-
based interceptor kill vehicles and boosters to maximize
overall system effectiveness and increase capacity and
capability, including the costs and benefits of continued
inclusion of capability enhancement II block 1 interceptors

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
of the Interior.
(3) Tribe.--The term ``Tribe'' means the Lytton Rancheria
of California.
(c) Lands to Be Taken Into Trust.--
(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).

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

an Indian reservation.

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

after the date of enactment of this Act, a membership roll
consisting of the name of each individual enrolled as a

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,
by grant or contract or under an existing authority of the
Director, the establishment of a Social Media Data and Threat
Analysis Center with the functions described in paragraph (2)
at an independent, nonprofit organization.
(2) Functions.--The functions described in this paragraph
are the following:

cooperative social media data analysis of foreign threat
networks involving social media companies and third-party
experts, nongovernmental organizations, data journalists,
Federally funded research and development centers, academic
researchers, traditional media, and international
counterparts, as appropriate.
(B) Facilitating analysis of foreign influence operation,
within and across the individual social media platforms as
well as hacking and leaking campaigns, and other tactics, and
related unlawful activities that fund or subsidize such
operations.
(C) Developing processes to share information from
government entities on foreign influence operations with the
individual social media companies to inform threat analysis,
and working with the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence as appropriate.
(D) Determining and making public criteria for identifying
which companies, organizations, or researchers qualify for
inclusion in the activities of the Center, and inviting
entities that fit the criteria to join.
(E) Determining jointly with the social media companies
what data and metadata related to indicators of foreign
adversary threat networks from their platforms and business
operations will be made available for access and analysis.
(F) Developing and making public the criteria and standards
that must be met for companies, other organizations, and
individual researchers to access and analyze data relating to
foreign adversary threat networks within and across social
media platforms and publish or otherwise use the results.
(G) Developing and making public the ethical standards for
investigation of foreign threat networks and use of analytic
results and for protection of the privacy of the customers
and users of the social media platforms and of the
proprietary information of the social media companies.
(H) Developing technical, contractual, and procedural
controls to prevent misuse of data, including any necessary

1947 (50 U.S.C. 3161 et seq.) is amended--
(1) by redesignating sections 803 and 804 as sections 804

CLEARANCES.

Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Security Executive

[[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
requiring access to classified information;
(2) appropriate safeguards for privacy;
(3) advantages to government and industry;
(4) the costs and savings associated with implementation;
(5) the risks of such implementation, including security
and counterintelligence risks;

contractors.

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
received pursuant to subsection (b) during the period covered
by such report.

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
(C) by striking subparagraph (C);
(2) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c);
(3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following:
``(b) Intelligence Community Reports.--(1)(A) Not later
than March 1 of each year, the Director of National
Intelligence shall submit a report to the congressional
intelligence committees, the Committee on Homeland Security
and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, the Committee on

adjudicated unfavorably and resulted in a denial or
revocation of a security clearance.

background investigations that were adjudicated with notice
of a determination provided to the existing employee,
including--
``(i) the total number of such adjudications that were

adjudicated unfavorably and resulted in a denial or
revocation of a security clearance.
``(E) The total number of pending security clearance
background investigations, including initial applicant
investigations and periodic reinvestigations, that were not
adjudicated as of the last day of such year and that remained
pending, categorized as follows:
``(i) For 180 days or shorter.
``(ii) For longer than 180 days, but shorter than 12
months.
``(iii) For 12 months or longer, but shorter than 18
months.
``(iv) For 18 months or longer, but shorter than 24 months.
``(v) For 24 months or longer.
``(F) For any security clearance determinations completed
or pending during the year preceding the year for which the

that did not result in enough information to make a decision
on potentially adverse information.
``(3) The report required under this subsection shall be
submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified
annex.''; and
(4) in subsection (c), as redesignated, by striking
``subsection (a)(1)'' and inserting ``subsections (a)(1) and
(b)''.

SEC. 6610. PERIODIC REPORT ON POSITIONS IN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY THAT CAN BE CONDUCTED WITHOUT ACCESS
TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, NETWORKS, OR

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;

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;

relevant international fora in identifying the nexus between
human trafficking and money laundering;

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.

[[Page H9737]]

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.

The Senate recedes.
Modification of prohibition on availability of funds for Navy
waterborne security barriers (sec. 126)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would
amend section 130 of the John S. McCain National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232)
to extend the prohibition on availability of funds for Navy
port waterborne security barriers through fiscal year 2020
and

[[Page H9738]]

109-364).
The House amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Strategic sealift fleet vessel (sec. 128)
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 118) that
would direct the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a
contract for one sealift vessel, subject to certain
requirements.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make
entering into a contract or other agreement with a private-
sector entity under which the entity would serve as the
executive agent permissive.
Design and construction of amphibious transport dock
designated LPD-31 (sec. 129)
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 115) that
would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a
contract for the amphibious transport dock ship designated
LPD-31. Additionally, the Secretary would be authorized to
use incremental funding authority to complete the
construction.
The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 124).
The Senate recedes.
The conferees' intent is for the Secretary of the Navy to
use the $350.0 million appropriated in Shipbuilding and
Conversion, Navy (SCN) line number 13 in fiscal year 2019 and
additional fiscal year 2020 funds in SCN line number 12 to
procure LPD-31 long-lead material and start construction as
efficie-tly as possible. Consistent with the budget request,
the conferees expect the Navy to request the balance of costs

the Flight III configuration be incorporated prior to
Milestone B approval for the next new class of Navy large
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

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)

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)

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

program (sec. 145)
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 123) that
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.

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)

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 should also work with the U.S. Environmental
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
minimizes public health risks. Lastly, the conferees note
that the Federal Government should collaborate with local 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.
As such, the conferees direct the Comptroller General of
the United States to complete a study and submit a report to
the congressional defense committees on the status of the
Federal cleanup and decontamination process in the island-
municipalities of Vieques and Culebra, Puerto Rico, not later
than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act. The

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.

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
would require the Secretary of Defense to prioritize
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

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.

any other military status, including as a member of the
Active, Guard, and Reserve program of a reserve component.
The provision would further specify that if a technician
declines to participate in such a realignment or conversion,
no further action may be taken against the individual or the
individual's position. The provision would require the Chief
of the National Guard Bureau to certify by January 1, 2020,
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.

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)

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.

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.
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, 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

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

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

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

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.

Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense
of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces.

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

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

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

the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) about the degraded
state of Department of Defense Professional Military

with the Council of State Governments to assist with the
funding and development of interstate compacts on licensed

the servicemember to whom the spouse is married is promoted

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

Modification to authority to reimburse for State licensure
and certification costs of a spouse of a servicemember
arising from relocation (sec. 577)

Clarification regarding eligibility to transfer entitlement
under Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program (sec. 578)

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

authorize $40.0 million in Operation and Maintenance,
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,
Defense-wide, for impact aid payments for children with
severe disabilities (as enacted by Public Law 106-398; 114
Stat. 1654A-77; 20 U.S.C. 7703a) using the formula set forth

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.

Lieutenant Colonel Richard Cole, United States Air Force
(ret.), to the grade of colonel (sec. 599B)

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

pregnancy, and severe maternal morbidities, defined as
unintended outcomes of pregnancy, labor, or delivery that
result in significant short- or long-term consequences to a
woman's health.
JROTC Computer Science and Cybersecurity Program
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 516) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program
to enhance the preparation of students in Junior Reserve
Officers' Training Corps for careers in computer science and
cybersecurity.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
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

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.

require a report on the expansion of the Close Airman Support
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.

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

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

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 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
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 528) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe
regulations, within 90 days of the date of the enactment of
this Act, that would permit any Secretary of a military
department to grant a reenlistment waiver to an individual
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.

ending on December 31, 1948, constitutes active military
service.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Nondiscrimination with respect to service in the Armed Forces
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 530B) that
would add section 651a to title 10, U.S. Code, to require the
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.''

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.

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
fear of discipline, except in

[[Page H9770]]

cases in which aggravating circumstances increase the gravity
of the minor collateral misconduct or its impact on military
good order and discipline.
The provision would define minor collateral misconduct as
including: (1) Improper use and possession of alcohol; (2)
Consensual intimate behavior, including adultery or
fraternization; (3) Presence in off-limits areas; and (4)

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 550I) that
would amend section 107(a) of the Servicemembers Civil Relief

installations and civilian domestic and sexual violence
response organizations.

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.

would amend section 2168 of title 10, United States Code, to
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.

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.

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'

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.
Survey of members of the Armed Forces on their experiences
with military investigations and military justice
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 558) that would

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

Safe-to-Report policy applicable to military service
academies
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560A) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to publish regulations
for the implementation of a Safe-to-Report policy, which
would allow the victims of an alleged sexual assault at the
United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy,
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.
The House recedes.

criminal misconduct
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560B) that
would direct the secretary of each military department 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 House recedes.
Inclusion of Specific Email Address Block on Certificate of

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.
Expansion and renaming of the Troops-to-Teachers Program
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 568) that
would amend section 1154 of title 10, United States Code, to
expand and rename the Troops-to-Teachers Program.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Transition outreach pilot program
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 569) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretaries of Veterans Affairs, Labor, Education, and
Homeland Security, and the Administrator of the Small
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
between veterans and the Department of Defense. The pilot
program would terminate by September 30, 2020, and the
Secretary would then submit a report to Congress regarding
such program within 90 days of the termination of the
program.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Assessment and study of Transition Assistance Program
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 570A) that
would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to enter into
an agreement with an appropriate entity with experience in
adult education to conduct a 1-year independent assessment of
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
the Small Business Administration, to conduct a 5-year
longitudinal study regarding TAP on three separate cohorts of
discharged servicemembers.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Information regarding county veterans service officers

would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that a

to have Department of Defense form DD-214 sent to the
appropriate county veterans service officer based on the
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.

not sooner than 150 days and not later than 180 days after
the date of termination of a period of military service of

with special needs are not receiving individualized services

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

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

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,

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.

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.

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
children for lead exposure and lead poisoning. Finally, the
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

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

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.

Modification of organization of military health system (sec.
711)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that would
amend section 1073c of title 10, United States Code, to make
clarifying and technical amendments on the administration of
the Defense Health Agency and military medical treatment
facilities.
The House amendment contained no similar provision.
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.

for the Departments' EHRs; (4) Require the IPO to develop a
comprehensive interoperability strategy; and (5) Require the
IPO to consult annually with clinical staff and to conduct
clinical and patient satisfaction surveys on the EHRs.

submit to the Secretaries an annual publicly available report
from September 30, 2020, through 2024, on the activities of

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.

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

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

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.

also direct agency senior procurement executives, where
appropriate, to assist small business concerns with
commercializing research developed under SBIR or SBTT before
awarding federal agency contracts.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
procurement center representatives to consult with

Subtitle H--Other Matters

Review of guidance to contractors on nondiscrimination on the

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

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

[[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,

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.

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

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

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).

[[Page H9793]]

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

The report should also include, for each project under
military construction accounts, the country, location,
project title, and project amount by fiscal year, and, for
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

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
coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to
submit to the congressional defense committees a report
containing the results of a review on processes designed to
achieve more effective integration of capabilities among the
NRO, National Security Agency, National Geospatial
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
fiscal year 2020. The amendment would require the Secretary
of the Air Force to implement the establishment of the United
States Space Force not later than 18 months after the date of
the enactment of this Act. The amendment would also require
the Secretary and the CSO to jointly provide to the
congressional defense committees briefings on the status of
the current missions, operations and activities, manpower

contributions, either cash or in-kind, or contributions from

defense committees on the actual costs of maintaining the
overseas posture and presence of the U.S. Armed Forces in

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.

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

of Defense to make full use of the existing, and

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

State to waive the limitation until 90 days after the date

certification. The amendment would also express the sense

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

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.

have made significant contributions to common security,
including through direct, indirect, and burden-sharing

Japan and the Republic of Korea should be conducted in a
spirit consistent with prior negotiations on the basis of

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

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.

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,

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

would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
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
corporations headquartered or registered in Russia to
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

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
interference in elections for Federal office, and create
procedures for lifting and reimposing the prohibition.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
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.
Report by Defense Intelligence Agency on certain military
capabilities of China and Russia
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250F) that

The House recedes.
Not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act,

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.
Modification of report relating to enhancing defense and
security cooperation with India
The House amendment contained two provisions (sec. 1250 and
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
in the Western Indian Ocean.
Sense of Congress on the enduring United States commitment to
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 House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250H) that
would express the sense of the Congress on the United States-
India defense relationship.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Report on value of investments in dual use infrastructure
projects by NATO member states
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1256) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report,
not later than June 1, 2020, on the value of investments in
dual use infrastructure projects by the member states of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

defense cooperation
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that
would express the sense of the Senate concerning the United
States-Japan alliance and opportunities for enhancing defense
cooperation.
The House amendment contained no similar provision.
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.

[[Page H9815]]

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
Hybrid Threats.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees strongly support the efforts of the European
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.

would express the sense of the Senate on the United States-
India defense relationship.
The House amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Sense of Congress on European investments in national
security
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1259) that
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.
Briefing on Department of Defense program to protect United
States students against foreign assets
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1260) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing
to the congressional defense committees on the program to
protect United States students against recruitment efforts by
foreign intelligence agents as described in section 1277 of
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.
The Senate recedes.
Limitation on availability of certain funds until report
submitted on Department of Defense awards and
disciplinary action as a result of the 2017 incident in
Niger
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1263) that
would prohibit the use of more than 80 percent of any funds
authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made
available for fiscal year 2020 for Operations and
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.
Rule of construction relating to use of military force
against Venezuela
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
congressional review would not apply to begin
manufacturing or co-production of articles outside the
United States.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

countries
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1240) that

congressional committees a report containing a summary of the
key findings of the annual report of the Secretary General of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as
assessments of various elements of burden-sharing and defense
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.

of NATO to NATO missions; and a description of NATO
initiatives to accelerate the speed of decision, ensure
viable military reinforcement, and to support the
deployability of North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces.
The conferees direct that the report be submitted in an
unclassified form, but may include a classified annex.
The conferees note that the contributions of United States
allies to collective defense and shared security are
critical. The conferees note that reports relating to ally
and partner ``burden-sharing'' contributions are addressed
elsewhere in this report.

Organization
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1240) that

Sense of Congress on the United States-Israel relationship
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1270B) that

[[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

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
and implementation plan of the Joint Department of Defense
and Department of Homeland Security Cyber Protection and
Defense Steering Group; (7) The status of any Department of
Defense cyber intelligence activities and operational
preparation of the environment intended specifically to deter
and disrupt adversary cyberattacks on United States critical
infrastructure and planned in coordination with the
Department of Homeland Security; (8) The current operational
planning activities and standing arrangements between the
Department of Defense and Department of Energy, including a
determination as to whether the Secretary of Energy can
directly request Defense Support of Civil Authorities; and
(9) The status of implementing section 1650 of the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2019 (Public Law 115-232) on the pilot program authority to
enhance cybersecurity and resilience of critical
infrastructure.
Prohibition on availability of funds for deployment of low-

the environmental impact statement. Due to these delays, the
Department's previous legislative proposal requesting use of
RDT&E funds for HDR-H radar elements would not be executable
in fiscal year 2020.

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.

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 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.

DIVISION E--INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATIONS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2018, 2019,
AND 2020

Intelligence authorizations for fiscal years 2018, 2019, and
2020 (secs. 5001-6747)
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.

Title LXXII--Sanctions With Respect to Foreign Traffickers of Illicit
Synthetic Opioids

Sanctions with respect to foreign traffickers of illicit
synthetic opioids (secs. 7201-7235)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6801-6837) that
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.
The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1701-1736).
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Title LXXIII--PFAS

Definition of Administrator (sec. 7302)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6701) that
would define the term ``Administrator'' for this title.
The House amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Drinking Water (secs. 7311-7312)
The Senate bill contained a series of provisions (sec.
6721-6724) that would require the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection agency to promulgate a national
primary drinking water regulation for, require monitoring of,
and establish drinking water state revolving funds for
perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
The House amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the requirement to establish a national primary drinking
water standard and the accompanying enforcement provision and
makes various other technical modifications.
PFAS Release Disclosure (secs. 7321)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6711) that
would include Perfluorooctanoic acid, Perfluorooctane
sulfonic acid and their associated salts in the toxics
release inventory.
