                   OR WRONGFULLY DETAINED ABROAD.

       (a) Review.--The Secretary of State shall review the cases 
     of United States nationals detained abroad to determine if 
     there is credible information that they are being detained 
     unlawfully or wrongfully, based on criteria which may include 
     whether--
       (1) United States officials receive or possess credible 
     information indicating innocence of the detained individual;
       (2) the individual is being detained solely or 
     substantially because he or she is a United States national;
       (3) the individual is being detained solely or 
     substantially to influence United States Government policy or 
     to secure economic or political concessions from the United 
     States Government;
       (4) the detention appears to be because the individual 
     sought to obtain, exercise, defend, or promote freedom of the 
     press, freedom of religion, or the right to peacefully 
     assemble;
       (5) the individual is being detained in violation of the 
     laws of the detaining country;
       (6) independent nongovernmental organizations or 
     journalists have raised legitimate questions about the 
     innocence of the detained individual;

     individual is being detained has received credible reports 
     that the detention is a pretext for an illegitimate purpose;
       (8) the individual is detained in a country where the 
     Department of State has determined in its annual human rights 
     reports that the judicial system is not independent or 
     impartial, is susceptible to corruption, or is incapable of 
     rendering just verdicts;
       (9) the individual is being detained in inhumane 
     conditions;
       (10) due process of law has been sufficiently impaired so 
     as to render the detention arbitrary; and
       (11) United States diplomatic engagement is likely 
     necessary to secure the release of the detained individual.

     to reconstruct Rohingya villages as and where they were;

    Subtitle H--United States National Security Interests in Europe

     SEC. 1291. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Maintaining United 
     States National Security Interests in Europe Act''.

     SEC. 1292. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The 2017 National Security Strategy states, ``[t]he 
     United States will deepen collaboration with our European 
     allies and partners to confront forces threatening to

[[Page S3229]]

     undermine our common values, security interests, and shared 
     vision. The United States and Europe will work together to 
     counter Russian subversion and aggression, and the threats 
     posed by North Korea and Iran. We will continue to advance 
     our shared principles and interests in international 
     forums.''.
       (2) After the end of World War II, the presence of foreign 
     military forces in Germany was governed by a law signed in 
     April 1949 that allowed France, the United Kingdom, and the 
     United States to retain forces in Germany.
       (3) The initial law was succeeded by the Convention on the 
     Presence of Foreign Forces in the Federal Republic of 
     Germany, signed at Paris on October 23, 1954, allowing eight 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members, 
     specifically Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, 
     the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, 
     to maintain a long-term presence of military forces in the 
     Federal Republic of Germany.
       (4) The Federal Republic of Germany has made significant 
     contributions to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     alliance, and by hosting the largest United States Armed 
     Forces presence in Europe, the Federal Republic of Germany 
     has borne a significant burden in the interest of collective 
     security.
       (5) As of June 2020, the United States presence in various 
     locations in the Federal Republic of Germany, including in 
     Stuttgart at the United States European Command and the 
     United States Africa Command, consists of--
       (A) approximately--
       (i) 35,000 members of the Armed Forces;
       (ii) 10,000 Department of Defense civilian employees; and
       (iii) 2,000 defense contractors;
       (B) personnel of the Department of State and other United 
     States Government agencies; and
       (C) the dependents of individuals described in 
     subparagraphs (A) and (B).
       (6) The United States presence in Europe, including in the 
     Federal Republic of Germany--
       (A) protects and defends the United States and United 
     States allies and partners by deterring conflict with the 
     Russian Federation and other adversaries;
       (B) strengthens and supports the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization alliance and critical partnerships in Europe; 
     and
       (C) serves as an essential support platform for carrying 
     out vital national security engagements in Afghanistan, the 
     Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
       (7) The deep bilateral ties between the United States and 
     the Federal Republic of Germany have led to decades of 
     economic prosperity for both countries and their allies and 
     have strengthened human rights and democracy around the 
     world.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should continue to maintain and 
     strengthen the bilateral relationship with the Federal 
     Republic of Germany and the relationships with other European 
     allies;
       (2) the United States should maintain a robust military 
     presence in the Federal Republic of Germany so as to deter 
     further aggression from the Russian Federation or aggression 
     from other adversaries against the United States and its 
     allies and partners; and
       (3) the United States should remain committed to strong 
     collaboration with European allies as outlined in the 2017 
     National Security Strategy.

     SEC. ___. LIMITATION ON ALTERATION OF NAVY FLEET MIX.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States shipbuilding and supporting vendor 
     base constitute a national security imperative that is unique 
     and must be protected;
       (2) a healthy and efficient industrial base continues to be 
     a fundamental driver for achieving and sustaining a 
     successful shipbuilding procurement strategy;
       (3) without consistent and continuous commitment to steady 
     and predictable acquisition profiles, the industrial base 
     will struggle and some elements may not survive; and
       (4) proposed reductions in the future-years defense program 
     to the DDG-51 Destroyer procurement profile without a clear 
     transition to procurement of the next Large Surface Combatant 
     would adversely affect the shipbuilding industrial base and 
     long-term strategic objectives of the Navy.
       (b) Limitation.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of the Navy may not deviate 
     from the 2016 Navy Force Structure Assessment to implement 
     the results of a new force structure assessment or new annual 
     long-range plan for construction of naval vessels that would 
     reduce the requirement for Large Surface Combatants to fewer 
     than 104 such vessels until the date on which the Secretary 
     of the Navy submits to the congressional defense committees 
     the certification under paragraph (1) and the report under 
     subsection (c).
       (2) Certification.--The certification referred to in 
     paragraph (1) is a certification, in writing, that each of 
     the following conditions have been satisfied:
       (A) The large surface combatant shipbuilding industrial 
     base and supporting vendor base would not significantly 
     deteriorate due to a reduced procurement profile.
       (B) All current shipbuilders of large surface combatants 
     will remain viable, in terms of sufficient new construction 
     ship procurement, to construct the next class of Large 
     Surface Combatants.
       (C) The Navy can mitigate the reduction in anti-air and 
     ballistic missile defense capabilities due to having a 
     reduced number of DDG-51 Destroyers with the advanced AN/SPY-
     6 radar in the next three decades.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Navy shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report that 
     includes--
       (1) a description of likely detrimental impacts to the 
     large surface combatant industrial base and the Navy's plan 
     to mitigate any such impacts if the fiscal year 2021 future-
     years defense program were implemented as proposed;
       (2) a review of the benefits to the Navy fleet of the new 
     AN/SPY-6 radar to be deployed aboard Flight III variant DDG-
     51 Destroyers, which are currently under construction, as 
     well as an analysis of impacts to the fleet's warfighting 
     capabilities, should the number of such destroyers be 
     reduced; and
       (3) a plan to fully implement section 131 of the National 
     Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
     92), including subsystem prototyping efforts and funding by 
     fiscal year.
