     SEC. 153. TREATMENT OF NUCLEAR MODERNIZATION AND HYPERSONIC 
                   MISSILE PROGRAMS WITHIN DEFENSE PRIORITIES AND 
                   ALLOCATIONS SYSTEM.

       (a) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the United States is entering into an unprecedented 
     period of strategic competition with two potential 
     adversaries, each of which now possesses, or will acquire, 
     nuclear and missile forces equal to or greater than such 
     forces possessed by the United States;
       (2) ensuring the continued deterrence of the growing threat 
     of the nuclear capabilities of such adversaries requires--
       (A) safe, secure, effective, and credible nuclear forces, 
     with a range of flexible employment options, available to the 
     President; and
       (B) robust missile forces capable of overcoming current and 
     future missile defenses;
       (3) such forces can only be achieved through the rapid and 
     complete modernization of legacy nuclear capabilities of the 
     United States and the timely development of a range of 
     ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic boost-glide missiles;
       (4) ongoing Department of Defense and National Nuclear 
     Security Administration programs and projects to achieve the 
     modernization of United States nuclear forces enjoy virtually 
     no scheduled margin for delivery prior to the expected 
     retirement or decommissioning of legacy systems and 
     facilities, even as the People`s Republic of China, the 
     Russian Federation, and North Korea work to rapidly modernize 
     and expand their nuclear arsenals;
       (5) the People`s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, 
     and North Korea are--
       (A) engaged in a variety of missile programs intended to 
     defeat the missile defense capabilities of the United States 
     and its allies; and
       (B) expected to field such capabilities in greater volumes 
     than the United States;
       (6) imbalances in such capabilities are inherently 
     destabilizing and represent profound risks to the security of 
     the United States and its allies and to global stability at 
     large;
       (7) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Energy 
     should leverage all available tools to reduce the risk of 
     schedule delays in nuclear modernization and hypersonic 
     missile programs and projects, including by--
       (A) universally applying the authorities provided by the 
     Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.) to 
     each such program or project; and
       (B) assigning a DX priority rating under part 700 of title 
     15, Code of Federal Regulations, to each such program or 
     project;
       (8) the assignment of DX priority ratings would help 
     minimize the risk that such programs and projects are 
     unnecessarily delayed due to misallocations of industrial 
     materials, services, or facilities; and
       (9) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Energy 
     should promptly inform Congress of any additional 
     opportunities to further reduce risks relating to such 
     programs and projects or the schedules for such programs and 
     projects that could be achieved through the adjustment of 
     existing authorities.
       (b) Report and Certification.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than January 1, 2023, the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Energy shall 
     jointly submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     report including--
       (A) with respect to each nuclear weapons delivery system, 
     missile warning system, hypersonic boost-glide missile system 
     program, or weapon program or nuclear security enterprise 
     infrastructure project of the National Nuclear Security 
     Administration, a determination of whether such program or 
     project should be assigned a DX priority rating under part 
     700 of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations;
       (B) for any such program or project that the respective 
     Secretary determines under subparagraph (A) should be 
     assigned a DX priority rating, a confirmation that such 
     program or project has been assigned a DX rating; and
       (C) for any such program or project that has not been 
     assigned a DX priority rating as of January 1, 2023--
       (i) an explanation for any delay in assigning such a 
     rating; and
       (ii) a timeline for the assignment of such a rating.
       (2) Annual certification.--For any nuclear weapons delivery 
     system, missile warning system, hypersonic boost-glide 
     missile system program, or weapon program or nuclear security 
     enterprise infrastructure project of the National Nuclear 
     Security Administration that the respective Secretary 
     determines under paragraph (1)(A) should not be assigned a DX 
     priority rating , the Secretary shall, until such program 
     reaches full operational capability, annually submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a certification that the 
     lack of assignment of such rating will not negatively affect 
     the delivery of operational capabilities by such program or 
     project.
       (3) Nondelegation.--The Secretary may not delegate a 
     determination under paragraph (1)(A) to any other official.

     incentives for major Department of Defense contractors to 
     furnish disadvantaged small business concerns with assistance 
     designed to--
       ``(1) enhance the capabilities of disadvantaged small 
     business concerns to perform as subcontractors and suppliers 
     under Department of Defense contracts and other contracts and 
     subcontracts; and

     the eligibility requirements set out in subsection (d) may 
     enter into agreements under subsection (e) and furnish 
     assistance to disadvantaged small business concerns upon 
     making application to the Secretary of Defense and being 
     approved for participation in the program by the Secretary. A 
     business concern participating in the program pursuant to 
     such an approval shall be known, for the purposes of the

     agreement concurrently, and the authority to enter into 
     agreements under subsection (e) shall only be available to 
     such concern during the 5-year period beginning on the date

     (e), a mentor firm may rely in good faith on a written 
     representation of a business concern that such business 
     concern is a disadvantaged small business concern. The Small 
     Business Administration shall determine the status of such 
     business concern as a disadvantaged small business concern in 
     the event of a protest regarding the status of such business 
     concern. If at any time the business concern is determined by

     (c)(1), a mentor firm may enter into an agreement with one or 
     more protege firms under subsection (e) and provide 
     assistance under the program pursuant to that agreement if 
     the mentor firm--

     through knowledge of general business operations and 
     government contracting, as demonstrated by evidence that--
       ``(I) during the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in 
     which the mentor firm enters into the agreement, the total 
     amount of the Department of Defense contracts awarded such 
     mentor firm and the subcontracts awarded such mentor firm 
     under Department of Defense contracts was equal to or greater 
     than $100,000,000; or
       ``(II) the mentor firm demonstrates the capability to 
     assist in the development of protege firms, and is approved

     the regulations prescribed pursuant to subsection (j).

     Administration has not made such a determination and if the

     agreement voluntarily and for the mentor firm to terminate 
     the agreement for cause.

     shall include a comprehensive review and assessment of--
       (1) the feasibility and advisability of--
       (A) exempting the proposed Space Component from the 
     existing ``up or out`` system of officer career advancement 
     first established by the amendments to title 10, United 
     States Code, made by the Defense Officer Personnel Management 
     Act (Public Law 96-513; 94 Stat. 2835);
       (B) combining active and reserve components in a new,

     achieved using the existing active and reserve component 
     frameworks with modest statutory changes to allow reserve 
     officers to serve on sustained active duty;

     reserve status for prolonged periods of time across a career;

     Space Force on the development of space as a warfighting 
     domain in the profession of arms, particularly with respect 
     to officer leadership, development, and stewardship of the 
     profession;
       (3) whether existing government ethics regulations are 
     adequate to address potential conflicts of interest for Space 
     Component officers who seek to move back and forth between 
     sustained active duty and working for private sector 
     organizations in the space industry as reserve officers in 
     the Space Component;
       (4) whether the proposed Space Component framework is 
     consistent with the joint service requirements of chapter 38 
     of title 10, United States Code;

     Space Component;
       (6) the nature of the relationship with private industry 
     and civilian employers that would be required and consistent 
     with professional ethics to successfully implement the Space 
     Component; and

     research and development center considers relevant.
       (c) Diversity and Inclusion.--The study referred to in 
     subsection (a) shall include an assessment of the proposed 
     reorganization of the Space Force and the establishment of 
     the Space Component on advancing diversity and inclusion in

     and emerging threats to a level suitable for advanced sensors 
     and cannot provide a contested or degraded environment with 
     the threats available at the two major training ranges of the 
     Air Force; and
       (4) since the Secretary of the Air Force says the Air Force 
     cannot afford to allocate advanced capabilities across all 
     ranges, the Air Force must prioritize developments and 
     upgrades for ranges to ensure that one or more ranges have a 
     complete suite of capability to conduct advanced F-35 
     training.
       (b) Upgrade of Facilities.--

       (2) Elements.--In carrying out paragraph (1), the Secretary 
     of the Air Force shall prioritize--

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the success of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) is critical to advancing United States national 
     security objectives in Europe and around the world;
       (2) NATO remains the strongest and most successful military 
     alliance in the world, founded on a commitment by its members 
     to uphold the principles of democracy, individual liberty, 
     and the rule of law;
       (3) the contributions of NATO to the collective defense are 
     indispensable to the security, prosperity, and freedom of its 
     members;

     1949, including Article 5 of the Treaty;

     enduring strength for the United States, and are critical to 
     achieving our objectives, as the unified response to Russia`s 
     further invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated``;
       (6) the Russian Federation`s premeditated and unprovoked 
     invasion of Ukraine poses the most direct threat to security 
     and stability in Europe since the end of World War II and 
     requires the full attention of the NATO alliance;
       (7) the unprovoked and illegal war conducted by the Russian 
     Federation against Ukraine has fundamentally altered the 
     concept of transatlantic security and requires--
       (A) a reinvigorated commitment to the shared principles of 
     the NATO alliance; and
       (B) a commensurate response to deter further revanchism by 
     the Russian Federation in the Euro-Atlantic region;
       (8) as NATO refocuses its deterrence and defense posture to 
     respond to the Russian Federation`s escalatory actions, 
     allies must simultaneously address threats posed across all 
     domains and all areas of the Euro-Atlantic region, 
     including--

     operations carried out by the People`s Republic of China;

     Wales Pledge, capability targets, contributions to NATO 
     missions and operations, and resilience commitments;

     security concerns highlighted by the Russian Federation`s

     activities carried out by the Russian Federation;

     humanitarian aid and security assistance to Ukraine;

     including through increased investment, coordination, and 
     standardization intended to identify and reduce obstacles to 
     the movement of United States and allied military forces in a 
     time of crisis or conflict;
       (G) reaffirm the open-door policy of NATO to allow any 
     European country to apply for membership and be considered on 
     its merits for admission, including--
       (i) aspirants such as Ukraine, Georgia, and Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina; and
       (ii) Finland and Sweden, which in the wake of the Russian 
     Federation`s invasion of Ukraine, have sought NATO membership 
     to further bolster their own security and the security of the 
     Euro-Atlantic region; and
       (H) continue efforts to evaluate whether the NATO alliance 
     is sufficiently funded and resourced to carry out its 
     objectives;
       (10) the United States and fellow NATO allies should 
     continue long-term efforts--
       (A) to improve interoperability among the military forces 
     of NATO allies and non-NATO allies so as to enhance effective 
     and efficient collective operations, including by the 
     divestment of Soviet-era platforms;
       (B) to strive for continued progress on key initiatives set 
     forth in recent NATO summits, including readiness, military 
     mobility, multi-domain operations, and resilience;
       (C) to enhance security sector cooperation and explore 
     opportunities to reinforce civil sector preparedness and 
     resilience measures, which may be likely targets of malign 
     influence and hybrid campaigns;
       (D) to mitigate the impact of hybrid warfare operations, 
     particularly such operations in the information and cyber 
     domains;
       (E) to expand joint research and development initiatives, 
     with a focus on emerging technologies such as quantum 
     computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning;

[[Page S6138]]

       (G) to coordinate and de-conflict security efforts and the 
     dedication of resources with the European Union--
       (i) to ensure the fulfilment of European Union and NATO 
     common interests and objectives; and

       (11) the European Deterrence Initiative remains critically 
     important, including for purposes of strengthening allied and 
     partner capability and power projection along the eastern 
     flank of NATO, and has demonstrated its unique value during 
     the current Russian Federation attack on Ukraine;
       (12) NATO should maintain cooperation on COVID-19 pandemic 
     response efforts and expand cooperation for future pandemic 
     and disaster preparedness;
       (13) the policy of the United States should be to work with 
     NATO and other allies and partners to build permanent 
     mechanisms to strengthen supply chains, enhance supply chain 
     security, fill supply chain gaps, and maintain commitments 
     made at the June 2020 NATO Defense Ministerial, particularly 
     with respect to pandemic response preparations;
       (14) the United States and NATO should expand cooperation 
     efforts on cybersecurity issues to prevent adversaries and 
     criminals from compromising critical systems and 
     infrastructure; and
       (15) the adoption by NATO of a robust strategy toward the 
     Black Sea is in the interest of the United States, and the 
     United States should consider collaborating with interested 
     allies and partner countries to advance a coordinated 
     strategy that includes diverse elements of the transatlantic 
     security architecture.

                   OF THE PEOPLE`S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, THE INDO-
                   PACIFIC REGION, AND TAIWAN.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the Senate--
       (1) supports the designations by the Department of Defense, 
     as reflected in the 2022 National Defense Strategy and 
     statements by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and other 
     senior Department officials, of--
       (A) the People`s Republic of China as the Department`s

     China, as the Government of the People`s Republic of China 
     expands and modernizes the People`s Liberation Army; and

     allocations across theaters to ensure, consistent with the

     ability to deny a fait accompli against Taiwan by the 
     People`s Republic of China in order to deter the People`s 
     Republic of China from using force to unilaterally change the 
     status quo with Taiwan.

     SEC. 1252. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DEFENSE ALLIANCES AND 
                   PARTNERSHIPS IN THE INDO-PACIFIC REGION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States Indo-Pacific strategy states, ``we 
     will prioritize our single greatest asymmetric strength: our 
     network of security alliances and partnerships. Across the 
     region, the United States will work with allies and partners 
     to deepen our interoperability and develop and deploy 
     advanced warfighting capabilities as we support them in 
     defending their citizens and their sovereign interests.``.
       (2) The fact sheet accompanying the National Defense 
     Strategy states, ``[m]utually-beneficial Alliances and 
     partnerships are an enduring strength for the United States, 
     and are critical to achieving our objectives . . . the 
     Department [of Defense] will incorporate ally and partner 
     perspectives, competencies, and advantages at every stage of 
     defense planning.``.
       (3) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley 
     testified on April 7, 2022, that ``our alliances and 
     partnerships are our most significant asymmetric advantages 
     and are key to maintaining the international rules-based 
     order that offers the best opportunities for peace and 
     prosperity for America and the globe.``.
       (4) Commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command 
     Admiral Aquilino testified on March 10, 2022, that ``a key 
     U.S. asymmetric advantage that our security challengers do 
     not possess is our network of strong alliances and 
     partnerships. Because these relationships are based on shared 
     values and people-to-people ties, they provide significant 
     advantages such as long-term mutual trust, understanding, 
     respect, interoperability, and a common commitment to a free 
     and open Indo-Pacific.``.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of Defense should continue efforts that 
     strengthen United States defense alliances and partnerships 
     in the Indo-Pacific region so as to further the comparative 
     advantage of the United States in strategic competition with 
     the People`s Republic of China, including by--
       (1) enhancing cooperation with Japan, consistent with the 
     Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security Between the United 
     States of America and Japan, signed at Washington, January 
     19, 1960, including by developing advanced military 
     capabilities, fostering interoperability across all domains, 
     and improving sharing of information and intelligence;
       (2) reinforcing the United States alliance with the 
     Republic of Korea, including by maintaining the presence of 
     approximately 28,500 members of the United States Armed 
     Forces deployed to the country and affirming the United 
     States commitment to extended deterrence using the full range 
     of United States defense capabilities, consistent with the 
     Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United States and the 
     Republic of Korea, signed at Washington, October 1, 1953, in 
     support of the shared objective of a peaceful and stable 
     Korean Peninsula;
       (3) fostering bilateral and multilateral cooperation with 
     Australia, consistent with the Security Treaty Between 
     Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America, 
     signed at San Francisco, September 1, 1951, and through the 
     partnership among Australia, the United Kingdom, and the 
     United States (commonly known as ``AUKUS``)--
       (A) to advance shared security objectives;
       (B) to accelerate the fielding of advanced military 
     capabilities; and
       (C) to build the capacity of emerging partners;
       (4) advancing United States alliances with the Philippines 
     and Thailand and United States partnerships with other 
     partners in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to 
     enhance maritime domain awareness, promote sovereignty and 
     territorial integrity, leverage technology and promote 
     innovation, and support an open, inclusive, and rules-based 
     regional architecture;
       (5) broadening United States engagement with India, 
     including through the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue--
       (A) to advance the shared objective of a free and open 
     Indo-Pacific region through bilateral and multilateral 
     engagements and participation in military exercises, expanded 
     defense trade, and collaboration on humanitarian aid and 
     disaster response; and
       (B) to enable greater cooperation on maritime security and 
     the threat of global pandemics, including COVID-19;
       (6) strengthening the United States partnership with 
     Taiwan, consistent with the Three Communiques, the Taiwan 
     Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), and 
     the Six Assurances, with the goal of improving Taiwan`s 
     asymmetric defensive capabilities and promoting peaceful 
     cross-strait relations;
       (7) reinforcing the status of the Republic of Singapore as 
     a Major Security Cooperation Partner of the United States and 
     continuing to strengthen defense and security cooperation 
     between the military forces of the Republic of Singapore and 
     the Armed Forces of the United States, including through 
     participation in combined exercises and training;
       (8) engaging with the Federated States of Micronesia, the 
     Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and 
     other Pacific Island countries, with the goal of 
     strengthening regional security and addressing issues of 
     mutual concern, including protecting fisheries from illegal, 
     unreported, and unregulated fishing;
       (9) collaborating with Canada, the United Kingdom, France, 
     and other members of the European Union and the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization to build connectivity and 
     advance a shared vision for the region that is principled, 
     long-term, and anchored in democratic resilience; and
       (10) investing in enhanced military posture and 
     capabilities in the area of responsibility of the United 
     States Indo-Pacific Command and strengthening cooperation in 
     bilateral relationships, multilateral partnerships, and other 
     international fora to uphold global security and shared 
     principles, with the goal of ensuring the maintenance of a 
     free and open Indo-Pacific region.

     SEC. 1517. SENSE OF THE SENATE AND BRIEFING ON NUCLEAR 
                   COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE 
                   UNITED KINGDOM.

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the United States strategic nuclear deterrent, and the 
     independent strategic nuclear deterrents of the United 
     Kingdom and the French Republic, are the supreme guarantee of 
     the security of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (commonly referred to as ``NATO``) and continue to underwrite 
     peace and security for all members of the NATO alliance;
       (2) the security of the NATO alliance also relies upon 
     nuclear sharing arrangements that predate, and are fully 
     consistent with, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
     Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 
     1, 1968, and entered into force March 5, 1960 (commonly 
     referred to as the ``Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty``);
       (3) such arrangements provide for the forward deployment of 
     United States nuclear weapons in Europe, along with the 
     supporting capabilities, infrastructure, and dual-capable 
     aircraft dedicated to the delivery of United States nuclear 
     weapons, provided by European NATO allies;
       (4) in parallel to the independent commitments of the 
     United States and the United Kingdom to the enduring security 
     of NATO, the nuclear programs of the United States and the 
     United Kingdom have enjoyed significant collaborative 
     benefits as a result of the cooperative relationship 
     formalized in the Agreement for Cooperation on the Uses of 
     Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense Purposes, signed at 
     Washington July 3, 1958, and entered into force August 4, 
     1958, between the United States and the United Kingdom 
     (commonly referred to as the ``Mutual Defense Agreement``);
       (5) the unique partnership between the United States and 
     the United Kingdom has enhanced sovereign military and 
     scientific capabilities, strengthened bilateral ties, and 
     resulted in the sharing of costs;
       (6) as the international security environment deteriorates 
     and potential adversaries expand and enhance their nuclear 
     forces, the extended deterrence commitments of the United 
     Kingdom play an increasingly important role in supporting the 
     security interests of the United States and allies of the 
     United States and the United Kingdom;
       (7) additionally, the extension of the nuclear deterrence 
     commitments of the United Kingdom to members of the NATO 
     alliance strengthens collective security while reducing the 
     burden placed on United States nuclear forces to deter 
     potential adversaries and assure allies of the United States;
       (8) it is in the national security interest of the United 
     States to support the United Kingdom with respect to the 
     decision of the Government of the United Kingdom to maintain 
     its nuclear forces to deter countries that are 
     ``significantly increasing and diversifying their nuclear 
     arsenals`` and ``investing in novel nuclear technologies and 
     developing new `warfighting` nuclear systems`` that could 
     threaten NATO allies, as outlined in the March 2021 report of 
     the Government of the United Kingdom entitled, ``Global 
     Britain in a Competitive Age: The Integrated Review of 
     Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy``;
       (9) as the United States continues to modernize its aging 
     nuclear forces to ensure its ability to continue to field a 
     nuclear deterrent that is safe, secure, and effective, the 
     United Kingdom faces a similar challenge;
       (10) bilateral cooperation on such programs as the Trident 
     II D5 weapons system, the common missile compartment for the 
     future Dreadnought and Columbia classes of submarines, and 
     the parallel development of the W93/Mk7 warhead of the United 
     States and the replacement warhead of the United Kingdom, 
     will allow the United States and the United Kingdom to 
     responsibly address challenges within their legacy nuclear 
     forces in a cost-effective manner that--
       (A) preserves independent, sovereign control;
       (B) is consistent with each country`s obligations under the 
     Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty; and
       (C) supports nonproliferation objectives; and
       (11) continued cooperation between the nuclear programs of 
     United States and the United Kingdom is essential to ensuring 
     that the NATO alliance continues to be supported by credible 
     nuclear forces capable of preserving peace, preventing 
     coercion, and deterring aggression.
       (b) Briefing.--Not later than March 4, 2023, the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment shall 
     brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives on opportunities to further enhance 
     and strengthen the bilateral partnership between the nuclear 
     enterprises of the United States and the United Kingdom, 
     including potential cooperation in areas such as advanced 
     manufacturing, microelectronics, supercomputing, and 
     production modernization.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The United States Merchant Marine Academy campus is 
     nearly 80 years old and many of the buildings have fallen 
     into a serious state of disrepair.
       (2) Except for renovations to student barracks in the early 
     2000s, all of the buildings on campus have exceeded their 
     useful life and need to be replaced or undergo major 
     renovations.
       (3) According to the Maritime Administration, since 2011, 
     $234,000,000 has been invested in capital improvements on the 
     campus, but partly due to poor planning and cost overruns, 
     maintenance and building replacement backlogs continue.

     of the United States Merchant Marine Academy Capital 
     Improvement Program. The study shall include an evaluation 
     of--

     has taken to bring the buildings, infrastructure, and other 
     facilities on campus up to standards and the further actions 
     that are required to do so;
       (2) how the approach that the United States Merchant Marine

                   DIVISION E--ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

                         TITLE LI--PROCUREMENT

     SEC. 5101. PROCUREMENT AUTHORITIES FOR CERTAIN AMPHIBIOUS 
                   SHIPBUILDING PROGRAMS.

       (a) Contract Authority.--
       (1) Procurement authorized.--The Secretary of the Navy may 
     enter into one or more contracts for the procurement of up to 
     five covered ships.
       (2) Procurement in conjunction with existing contracts.--
     The ships authorized to be procured under paragraph (1) may 
     be procured as additions to existing contracts covering such 
     programs.
       (b) Certification Required.--A contract may not be entered 
     into under subsection (a) unless the Secretary of the Navy 
     certifies to the congressional defense committees, in 
     writing, not later than 30 days before entry into the 
     contract, each of the following, which shall be prepared by 
     the milestone decision authority for such programs:
       (1) The use of such a contract is consistent with the 
     Commandant of the Marine Corp`s projected force structure 
     requirements for amphibious ships.
       (2) The use of such a contract will result in significant 
     savings compared to the total anticipated costs of carrying 
     out the program through annual contracts. In certifying cost 
     savings under the preceding sentence, the Secretary shall 
     include a written explanation of--
       (A) the estimated end cost and appropriated funds by fiscal 
     year, by hull, without the authority provided in subsection 
     (a);
       (B) the estimated end cost and appropriated funds by fiscal 
     year, by hull, with the authority provided in subsection (a);
       (C) the estimated cost savings or increase by fiscal year, 
     by hull, with the authority provided in subsection (a);
       (D) the discrete actions that will accomplish such cost 
     savings or avoidance; and
       (E) the contractual actions that will ensure the estimated 
     cost savings are realized.
       (3) There is a reasonable expectation that throughout the 
     contemplated contract period the Secretary of the Navy will 
     request funding for the contract at the level required to 
     avoid contract cancellation.
       (4) There is a stable design for the property to be 
     acquired and the technical risks associated with such 
     property are not excessive.
       (5) The estimates of both the cost of the contract and the 
     anticipated cost avoidance through the use of a contract 
     authorized under subsection (a) are realistic.
       (6) The use of such a contract will promote the national 
     security of the United States.
       (7) During the fiscal year in which such contract is to be 
     awarded, sufficient funds will be available to perform the 
     contract in such fiscal year.
       (c) Authority for Advance Procurement.--The Secretary of 
     the Navy may enter into one or more contracts for advance 
     procurement associated with a vessel or vessels for which 
     authorization to enter into a contract is provided under 
     subsection (a), and for systems and subsystems associated 
     with such vessels in economic order quantities when cost 
     savings are achievable.
       (d) Condition for Out-year Contract Payments.--A contract 
     entered into under subsection (a) shall provide that any 
     obligation of the United States to make a payment under the 
     contract for a fiscal year is subject to the availability of 
     appropriations for that purpose for such fiscal year.
       (e) Definitions.--In this section--
       (1) the term ``covered ship`` means a San Antonio-class or 
     America-class ship; and
       (2) the term ``milestone decision authority`` has the 
     meaning given the term in section 2366a(d) of title 10, 
     United States Code.

       (B) Information described.--The information described in

       (i) Subject to paragraph (2), the identity of the high-
     volume third party seller, including--

     marketplace for fraud, abuse, or spam.
       (ii) Whether the high-volume third party seller used a 
     different seller to supply the consumer product to the 
     consumer upon purchase, and, upon the request of an 
     authenticated purchaser, the information described in clause

     the high-volume third party seller listed on the product 
     listing prior to purchase.
       (2) Exception.--
       (A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), upon the 
     request of a high-volume third party seller, an online 
     marketplace may provide for partial disclosure of the 
     identity information required under paragraph (1)(B)(i) in 
     the following situations:
       (i) If such seller certifies to the online marketplace that

       (I) disclose only the country and, if applicable, the State 
     in which such seller resides; and

     electronic messaging provided to such seller by the online 
     marketplace.

       (ii) If such seller certifies to the online marketplace 
     that the seller is a business that has a physical address for 
     product returns, the online marketplace may disclose the 
     seller`s physical address for product returns.
       (iii) If such seller certifies to the online marketplace 
     that the seller does not have a phone number other than a 
     personal phone number, the online marketplace shall inform 
     consumers that there is no phone number available for the 
     seller and that consumer inquiries should be submitted to the 
     seller`s email address or other means of electronic messaging 
     provided to such seller by the online marketplace.
       (B) Limitation on exception.--If an online marketplace 
     becomes aware that a high-volume third party seller has made 
     a false representation to the online marketplace in order to 
     justify the provision of a partial disclosure under 
     subparagraph (A) or that a high-volume third party seller who 
     has requested and received a provision for a partial 
     disclosure under subparagraph (A) has not provided responsive 
     answers within a reasonable time frame to consumer inquiries 
     submitted to the seller by phone, email, or other means of 
     electronic messaging provided to such seller by the online 
     marketplace, the online marketplace shall, after providing 
     the seller with written or electronic notice and an 
     opportunity to respond not later than 10 days after the 
     issuance of such notice, suspend any future sales activity of 
     such seller unless such seller consents to the disclosure of 
     the identity information required under paragraph (1)(B)(i).
       (3) Reporting mechanism.--An online marketplace shall 
     disclose to consumers in a clear and conspicuous manner on 
     the product listing of any high-volume third party seller a 
     reporting mechanism that allows for electronic and telephonic 
     reporting of suspicious marketplace activity to the online 
     marketplace.
       (4) Compliance.--If a high-volume third party seller does 
     not comply with the requirements to provide and disclose 
     information under this subsection, the online marketplace 
     shall, after providing the seller with written or electronic 
     notice and an opportunity to provide or disclose such 
     information not later than 10 days after the issuance of such 
     notice, suspend any future sales activity of such seller 
     until the seller complies with such requirements.
       (c) Enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission.--
       (1) Unfair and deceptive acts or practices.--A violation of 
     subsection (a) or (b) by an online marketplace shall be 
     treated as a violation of a rule defining an unfair or 
     deceptive act or practice prescribed under section 
     18(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 
     57a(a)(1)(B)).

       (A) In general.--The Commission shall enforce subsections 
     (a) and (b) in the same manner, by the same means, and with 
     the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though all 
     applicable terms and provisions of the Federal Trade 
     Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) were incorporated into 
     and made a part of this section.
       (B) Privileges and immunities.--Any person that violates

       (3) Regulations.--The Commission may promulgate regulations 
     under section 553 of title 5, United States Code, with 
     respect to the collection, verification, or disclosure of 
     information under this section, provided that such 
     regulations are limited to what is necessary to collect, 
     verify, and disclose such information.
       (4) Authority preserved.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to limit the authority of the Commission under any 
     other provision of law.
       (d) Enforcement by State Attorneys General.--

     reason to believe that any online marketplace has violated or 
     is violating this section or a regulation promulgated under 
     this section that affects one or more residents of that 
     State, the attorney general of the State may bring a civil 
     action in any appropriate district court of the United

     prior notice is not feasible, in which case the attorney 
     general shall serve such notice immediately upon instituting 
     such action.
       (3) Intervention by the commission.--Upon receiving notice 
     under paragraph (2), the Commission shall have the right--
       (A) to intervene in the action;
       (B) upon so intervening, to be heard on all matters arising 
     therein; and
       (C) to file petitions for appeal.
       (4) Limitation on state action while federal action is 
     pending.--If the Commission has instituted a civil action for 
     violation of this section or a regulation promulgated under 
     this section, no State attorney general, or official or 
     agency of a State, may bring a separate action under 
     paragraph (1) during the pendency of that action against any 
     defendant named in the complaint of the Commission for any 
     violation of this section or a regulation promulgated under 
     this section that is alleged in the complaint. A State 
     attorney general, or official or agency of a State, may join 
     a civil action for a violation of this section or regulation 
     promulgated under this section filed by the Commission.
       (5) Rule of construction.--For purposes of bringing a civil 
     action under paragraph (1), nothing in this section shall be

     or agency of a State, by the laws of the State to conduct 
     investigations, administer oaths or affirmations, or compel

     and other evidence.
       (6) Actions by other state officials.--
       (A) In general.--In addition to civil actions brought by 
     attorneys general under paragraph (1), any other officer of a 
     State who is authorized by the State to do so, except for any 
     private person on behalf of the State attorney general, may 
     bring a civil action under paragraph (1), subject to the same 
     requirements and limitations that apply under this subsection 
     to civil actions brought by attorneys general.
       (B) Savings provision.--Nothing in this subsection may be 
     construed to prohibit an authorized official of a State from 
     initiating or continuing any proceeding in a court of the 
     State for a violation of any civil or criminal law of the 
     State.
       (e) Severability.--If any provision of this section, or the 
     application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held 
     invalid, the remainder of this section and the application of

               Subtitle H--Judicial Security and Privacy

     SEC. 6041. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Daniel Anderl Judicial 
     Security and Privacy Act of 2021``.

     SEC. 6042. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Members of the Federal judiciary perform the important 
     function of interpreting the Constitution of the United 
     States and administering justice in a fair and impartial 
     manner.
       (2) In recent years, partially as a result of the rise in 
     the use of social media and online access to information, 
     members of the Federal judiciary have been exposed to an 
     increased number of personal threats in connection to their 
     role. The ease of access to free or inexpensive sources of 
     covered information has considerably lowered the effort 
     required for malicious actors to discover where individuals 
     live and where they spend leisure hours and to find 
     information about their family members. Such threats have 
     included calling a judge a traitor with references to mass 
     shootings and serial killings, a murder attempt on a justice 
     of the Supreme Court of the United States, calling for an 
     ``angry mob`` to gather outside a home of a judge and, in 
     reference to a judge on the court of appeals of the United 
     States, stating how easy it would be to ``get them``.
       (3) Between 2015 and 2019, threats and other inappropriate 
     communications against Federal judges and other judiciary 
     personnel increased from 926 in 2015 to approximately 4,449 
     in 2019.
       (4) Over the past decade, several members of the Federal 
     judiciary have experienced acts of violence against 
     themselves or a family member in connection to their Federal 
     judiciary role, including the murder in 2005 of the family of 
     Joan Lefkow, a judge for the United States District Court for 
     the Northern District of Illinois.
       (5) On Sunday July 19, 2020, an assailant went to the home 
     of Esther Salas, a judge for the United States District Court 
     for the District of New Jersey, impersonating a package 
     delivery driver, opening fire upon arrival, and killing 
     Daniel Anderl, the 20-year-old only son of Judge Salas, and 
     seriously wounding Mark Anderl, her husband.
       (6) In the aftermath of the recent tragedy that occurred to 
     Judge Salas and in response to the continuous rise of threats 
     against members of the Federal judiciary, there is an 
     immediate need for enhanced security procedures and increased 
     availability of tools to protect Federal judges and their 
     families.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to improve 
     the safety and security of Federal judges, including senior, 
     recalled, or retired Federal judges, and their immediate 
     family members to ensure Federal judges are able to 
     administer justice fairly without fear of personal reprisal 
     from individuals affected by the decisions they make in the 
     course of carrying out their public duties.

     security of the United States.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``United States-Ecuador 
     Partnership Act of 2022``.

     SEC. 6282. FINDINGS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States and Ecuador have a history of 
     bilateral cooperation grounded in mutual respect, shared 
     democratic values, and mutual security interests.
       (2) On February 7, 2021, and April 11, 2021, Ecuador held 
     democratic elections that included parties from across the 
     political spectrum, paving the way for continued progress 
     towards strengthening democratic institutions.
       (3) The United States and Ecuador share strategic interests 
     in strengthening Ecuador`s democratic institutions, 
     generating inclusive economic growth, and building capacity 
     in law enforcement, anti-corruption, and conservation 
     efforts.
       (4) The United States and Ecuador historically have enjoyed 
     strong commercial, investment, and economic ties, yet Ecuador 
     continues to face significant challenges to inclusive 
     economic development, including--
       (A) the heavy economic toll of the COVID-19 pandemic;
       (B) vulnerabilities with respect to the growing role of the 
     People`s Republic of China in the financing and refinancing 
     of Ecuador`s debts, and in strategic infrastructure projects 
     and sectors of the Ecuadorian economy; and
       (C) the need to develop and strengthen open and transparent 
     economic policies that strengthen Ecuador`s integration with 
     global markets, inclusive economic growth, and opportunities 
     for upward social mobility for the Ecuadorian people.
       (5) Since its establishment in December 2019, the United 
     States Development Finance Corporation has provided more than 
     $440,000,000 in financing to Ecuador.
       (6) Ecuador`s justice system has taken important steps to 
     fight corruption and criminality and to increase 
     accountability. However, enduring challenges to the rule of 
     law in Ecuador, including the activities of transnational 
     criminal organizations, illicit mining, illegal, unreported, 
     and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and undemocratic actors, 
     present ongoing risks for political and social stability in 
     Ecuador.
       (7) The activities undertaken by the Government of the 
     People`s Republic of China in

[[Page S6301]]

     Ecuador, including its development of the ECU-911 video 
     surveillance and facial recognition system, financing of the 
     corruptly managed and environmentally deleterious Coca Codo 
     Sinclair Dam, and support for illegal, unreported, and 
     unregulated fishing practices around the Galapagos Islands, 
     pose risks to democratic governance and biodiversity in the 
     country.
       (8) Ecuador, which is home to several of the Earth`s most 
     biodiverse ecosystems, including the Galapagos Islands, the 
     headwaters of the Amazon river, the Condor mountain range, 
     and the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve, has seen a reduction in its 
     rainforests between 1990 and 2016, due in part to the 
     incursion of criminal networks into protected areas.
       (9) On March 24, 2021, the Senate unanimously approved 
     Senate Resolution 22 (117th Congress), reaffirming the 
     partnership between the United States and the Republic of 
     Ecuador, and recognizing the restoration and advancement of 
     economic relations, security, and development opportunities 
     in both nations.
       (10) On August 13, 2021, the United States and Ecuador 
     celebrated the entry into force of the Protocol to the Trade 
     and Investment Council Agreement between the Government of 
     the United States of America and the Government of the 
     Republic of Ecuador Relating to Trade Rules and Transparency, 
     recognizing the steps Ecuador has taken to decrease 
     unnecessary regulatory burden and create a more transparent 
     and predictable legal framework for foreign direct investment 
     in recent years.

     SEC. 6283. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should take additional steps to 
     strengthen its bilateral partnership with Ecuador, including 
     by developing robust trade and investment frameworks, 
     increasing law enforcement cooperation, renewing the 
     activities of the United States Agency for International 
     Development in Ecuador, and supporting Ecuador`s response to 
     and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, as necessary and 
     appropriate; and
       (2) strengthening the United States-Ecuador partnership 
     presents an opportunity to advance core United States 
     national security interests and work with other democratic 
     partners to maintain a prosperous, politically stable, and 
     democratic Western Hemisphere that is resilient to malign 
     foreign influence.

     opportunities between the United States and Ecuador;
       (2) supporting efforts by the Government of Ecuador to

     exporters of all sizes, in all sectors, and at all entry 
     ports in Ecuador;
       (3) establishing frameworks or mechanisms to review the 
     long term financial sustainability and security implications 
     of foreign investments in Ecuador in strategic sectors or

     project selection and procurement processes in Ecuador that

     sustainability, and robust adherence to global standards and

       (5) developing programs to help the Government of Ecuador 
     improve efficiency and transparency in customs 
     administration, including through support for the Government 
     of Ecuador`s ongoing efforts to digitize its customs process 
     and accept electronic documents required for the import, 
     export, and transit of goods under specific international 
     standards, as well as related training to expedite customs, 
     security, efficiency, and competitiveness;
       (6) spurring digital transformation that would advance--
       (A) the provision of digitized government services with the 
     greatest potential to improve transparency, lower business 
     costs, and expand citizens` access to public services and 
     public information;
       (B) the provision of transparent and affordable access to 
     the internet and digital infrastructure; and
       (C) best practices to mitigate the risks to digital 
     infrastructure by doing business with communication networks 
     and communications supply chains with equipment and services 
     from companies with close ties to or susceptible to pressure 
     from governments or security services without reliable legal 
     checks on governmental powers; and
       (7) identifying, as appropriate, a role for the United 
     States International Development Finance Corporation, the 
     Millennium Challenge Corporation, the United States Agency 
     for International Development, and the United States private 
     sector in supporting efforts to increase private sector 
     investment and strengthen economic prosperity.

     SEC. 6503. IRAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS CAPABILITY AND TERRORISM 
                   MONITORING ACT OF 2022.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Iran 
     Nuclear Weapons Capability and Terrorism Monitoring Act of 
     2022``.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In the late 1980s, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     established the AMAD Project with the intent to manufacture 5 
     nuclear weapons and prepare an underground nuclear test site.
       (2) Since at least 2002, the Islamic Republic of Iran has 
     advanced its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, posing 
     serious threats to the security interests of the United 
     States, Israel, and other allies and partners.
       (3) In 2002, nuclear facilities in Natanz and Arak, Iran, 
     were revealed to the public by the National Council of 
     Resistance of Iran.
       (4) On April 11, 2006, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     announced that it had enriched uranium for the first time to 
     a level close to 3.5 percent at the Natanz Pilot Fuel 
     Enrichment Plant, Natanz, Iran.
       (5) On December 23, 2006, the United Nations Security 
     Council adopted Resolution 1737 (2006), which imposed 
     sanctions with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran for 
     its failure to suspend enrichment activities.
       (6) The United Nations Security Council subsequently 
     adopted Resolutions 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), and 1929 
     (2010), all of which targeted the nuclear program of and 
     imposed additional sanctions with respect to the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran.
       (7) On February 3, 2009, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     announced that it had launched its first satellite, which 
     raised concern over the applicability of the satellite to the 
     ballistic missile program.
       (8) In September 2009, the United States, the United 
     Kingdom, and France revealed the existence of the clandestine 
     Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant in Iran, years after 
     construction started on the plant.
       (9) In 2010, the Islamic Republic of Iran reportedly had 
     enriched uranium to a level of 20 percent.
       (10) On March 9, 2016, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     launched 2 variations of the Qadr medium-range ballistic 
     missile.
       (11) On January 28, 2017, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     conducted a test of a medium-range ballistic missile, which 
     traveled an estimated 600 miles.
       (12) In 2018, Israel seized a significant portion of the 
     nuclear archive of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which 
     contained tens of thousands of files and compact discs 
     relating to past efforts at nuclear weapon design, 
     development, and manufacturing by the Islamic Republic of 
     Iran.
       (13) On September 27, 2018, Israel revealed the existence 
     of a warehouse housing radioactive material in the Turquz 
     Abad district in Tehran, and an inspection of the warehouse 
     by the International Atomic Energy Agency detected 
     radioactive particles, which the Government of the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran failed to adequately explain.
       (14) On January 8, 2020, an Iranian missile struck an Iraqi 
     military base where members of the United States Armed Forces 
     were stationed, resulting in 11 of such members being treated 
     for injuries.
       (15) On June 19, 2020, the International Atomic Energy 
     Agency adopted Resolution GOV/2020/34 expressing ``serious 
     concern. . . that Iran has not provided access to the Agency 
     under the Additional Protocol to two locations``.
       (16) On November 28, 2020, following the death of the head 
     of the Organization of Defense Innovation and Research of the 
     Islamic Republic of Iran, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran vowed to ``to continue the martyr`s 
     scientific and technological efforts in all the sectors where 
     he was active`` in the ``nuclear and defense fields``.
       (17) On April 17, 2021, the International Atomic Energy 
     Agency verified that the Islamic Republic of Iran had begun 
     to enrich uranium to 60 percent purity.
       (18) On August 14, 2021, President of Iran Hassan Rouhani 
     stated that ``Iran`s Atomic Energy Organization can enrich 
     uranium by 20 percent and 60 percent and if one day our 
     reactors need it, it can enrich uranium to 90 percent 
     purity``.
       (19) On November 9, 2021, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     completed Zolfaghar-1400, a 3-day war game that included 
     conventional navy, army, air force, and air defense forces 
     testing cruise missiles, torpedoes, and suicide drones in the 
     Strait of Hormuz, the Gulf of Oman, the Red Sea, and the 
     Indian Ocean.
       (20) On December 20, 2021, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     commenced a 5-day drill in which it launched a number of 
     short- and long-range ballistic missiles that it claimed 
     could destroy Israel, constituting an escalation in the 
     already genocidal rhetoric of the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     toward Israel.
       (21) On January 13, 2022, the head of the Islamic 
     Revolutionary Guards Corps Aerospace Force claimed that the 
     military launched a solid-fuel, mobile satellite launch 
     rocket, with implications for development of an 
     intercontinental ballistic missile.
       (22) On January 24, 2022, Houthi rebels, backed by the 
     Islamic Republic of Iran, fired 2 missiles at Al Dhafra Air 
     Base in the United Arab Emirates, which hosts around 2,000 
     members of the Armed Forces of the United States.
       (23) On January 31, 2022, surface-to-air interceptors of 
     the United Arab Emirates shot down a Houthi missile fired at 
     the United Arab Emirates during a visit by President of 
     Israel Isaac Herzog, the first-ever visit of an Israeli 
     President to the United Arab Emirates.
       (24) On February 9, 2022, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     unveiled a new surface-to-surface missile, named ``Kheibar 
     Shekan``, which has a reported range of 900 miles (1450 
     kilometers) and is capable of penetrating missile shields.
       (25) On March 13, 2022, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     launched 12 missiles into Erbil, Iraq, which struck near a 
     consulate building of the United States.
       (26) On April 17, 2022, the Islamic Republic of Iran 
     confirmed the relocation of a production facility for 
     advanced centrifuges from an aboveground facility at Karaj, 
     Iran, to the fortified underground Natanz Enrichment Complex.
       (27) On April 19, 2022, the Department of State released a 
     report stating that there are ``serious concerns`` about 
     ``possible undeclared nuclear material and activities in 
     Iran``.
       (28) On May 30, 2022, the International Atomic Energy 
     Agency reported that the Islamic Republic of Iran had 
     achieved a stockpile of 43.3 kilograms, equivalent to 95.5 
     pounds, of 60 percent highly enriched uranium, roughly enough 
     material for a nuclear weapon.

[[Page S6311]]

       (29) On June 8, 2022, the Islamic Republic of Iran turned 
     off surveillance cameras installed by the International 
     Atomic Energy Agency to monitor uranium enrichment activities 
     at nuclear sites in the country.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Department of State has used evidence of the intent 
     of the Islamic Republic of Iran to advance a nuclear program 
     to secure the support of the international community in 
     passing and implementing United Nations Security Council 
     Resolutions on the Islamic Republic of Iran;
       (2) intelligence agencies have compiled evidence of the 
     intent of the Islamic Republic of Iran to advance a nuclear 
     program, with evidence of a nuclear program prior to 2003;
       (3) an Islamic Republic of Iran that possesses a nuclear 
     weapons capability would be a serious threat to the national 
     security of the United States, Israel, and other allies and 
     partners;
       (4) the Islamic Republic of Iran has been less than 
     cooperative with international inspectors from the 
     International Atomic Energy Agency and has obstructed their 
     ability to inspect nuclear facilities across Iran;
       (5) the Islamic Republic of Iran continues to advance 
     missile programs, which are a threat to the national security 
     of the United States, Israel, and other allies and partners;

       (C) threatens United States allies and partners; and
       (D) directly undermines the national security interests of 
     the United States;
       (7) the Islamic Republic of Iran has engaged in 
     assassination plots against former United States officials 
     and has been implicated in plots to kidnap United States 
     citizens within the United States;
       (8) the Islamic Republic of Iran is engaged in unsafe and 
     unprofessional maritime activity that threatens the movement 
     of naval vessels of the United States and the free flow of 
     commerce through strategic maritime chokepoints in the Middle 
     East and North Africa;
       (9) the Islamic Republic of Iran has delivered hundreds of 
     armed drones to the Russian Federation, which will enable 
     Vladimir Putin to continue the assault against Ukraine in 
     direct opposition of the national security interests of the 
     United States; and
       (10) the United States must--
       (A) ensure that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not 
     develop a nuclear weapons capability;
       (B) protect against aggression from the Islamic Republic of 
     Iran manifested through its missiles program; and
       (C) counter regional and global terrorism of the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran in a manner that minimizes the threat posed 
     by state and non-state actors to the interests of the United

      TITLE LXXXI--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAMS

     SEC. 8101. PLAN TO ACCELERATE RESTORATION OF DOMESTIC URANIUM 
                   ENRICHMENT.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States is engaged in a period of intense 
     strategic competition with 2 peer adversaries, each of which 
     aims to develop nuclear forces superior to the nuclear forces 
     of the United States and its allies in the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization;
       (2) successfully deterring the aims of such adversaries and 
     preserving the national security of the United States and the 
     security of its allies requires that the United States 
     maintain a capable, credible nuclear force, including the 
     capability to produce the materials needed to manufacture 
     nuclear weapons and provide reliable sources of energy for 
     naval vessels and military facilities; and

[[Page S6314]]

       (3) a key component to achieving those goals is the 
     restoration of the domestic uranium enrichment capability of 
     the United States, a component that will allow the United 
     States to make significant strides toward improved energy 
     independence by reducing reliance on international sources of 
     enriched uranium and opening up tremendous opportunities for 
     improving the competitiveness of the United States in the 
     international energy economy.
       (b) Plan.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than June 1, 2023, the Secretary 
     of Defense, in coordination with the Administrator for 
     Nuclear Security, shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a plan to restore the domestic uranium enrichment 
     capability of the United States by not later than 2035.
       (2) Elements.--The plan required by paragraph (1) shall 
     include the following elements:
       (A) Recommendations restore unobligated uranium production, 
     conversion and enrichment capabilities, including production 
     of high-enriched uranium--
       (i) to refurbish the nuclear weapons stockpile of the 
     United States over a period of not more than 30 years;
       (ii) to satisfy the annual requirements of the United 
     States for naval reactor fuel, including projections for 
     satisfying fuel requirements for all submarines developed 
     using reactor designs and technology of the United States; 
     and
       (iii) to satisfy the annual requirements of the United 
     States for defense nuclear power reactors.
       (B) Recommendations to improve the production capacity of 
     unobligated low-enriched uranium needed to satisfy annual 
     tritium production requirements for the nuclear weapons 
     stockpile of the United States and associated research and 
     development objectives.
       (C) Such other recommendations and information as the 
     Secretary of Defense or the Administrator for Nuclear 
     Security consider appropriate.

     SEC. 8102. ASSESSMENT OF READINESS AND SURVIVABILITY OF 
                   STRATEGIC FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES.

       Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Commander of 
     the United States Strategic Command, shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the readiness 
     and survivability of the strategic forces of the United 
     States, including recommendations for improving such 
     readiness and survivability.

     SEC. 8103. U.S. NUCLEAR FUELS SECURITY INITIATIVE.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Department should--
       (A) prioritize activities to increase domestic production 
     of low-enriched uranium; and
       (B) accelerate efforts to establish a domestic high-assay, 
     low-enriched uranium enrichment capability; and
       (2) if domestic enrichment of high-assay, low-enriched 
     uranium will not be commercially available at the scale 
     needed in time to meet the needs of the advanced nuclear 
     reactor demonstration projects of the Department, the 
     Secretary shall consider and implement, as necessary--
       (A) all viable options to make high-assay, low-enriched 
     uranium produced from inventories owned by the Department 
     available in a manner that is sufficient to maximize the 
     potential for the Department to meet the needs and schedules 
     of advanced nuclear reactor developers, without impacting 
     existing Department missions, until such time that commercial 
     enrichment and deconversion capability for high-assay, low-
     enriched uranium exists at a scale sufficient to meet future 
     needs; and
       (B) all viable options for partnering with countries that 
     are allies or partners of the United States to meet those 
     needs and schedules until that time.
       (b) Objectives.--The objectives of this section are--
       (1) to expeditiously increase domestic production of low-
     enriched uranium;
       (2) to expeditiously increase domestic production of high-
     assay, low-enriched uranium by an annual quantity, and in 
     such form, determined by the Secretary to be sufficient to 
     meet the needs of--
       (A) advanced nuclear reactor developers; and
       (B) the consortium;
       (3) to ensure the availability of domestically produced, 
     converted, and enriched uranium in a quantity determined by 
     the Secretary, in consultation with U.S. nuclear energy 
     companies, to be sufficient to address a reasonably 
     anticipated supply disruption;
       (4) to address gaps and deficiencies in the domestic 
     production, conversion, enrichment, deconversion, and 
     reduction of uranium by partnering with countries that are 
     allies or partners of the United States if domestic options 
     are not practicable;
       (5) to ensure that, in the event of a supply disruption in 
     the nuclear fuel market, a reserve of nuclear fuels is 
     available to serve as a backup supply to support the nuclear 
     nonproliferation and civil nuclear energy objectives of the 
     Department;
       (6) to support enrichment, deconversion, and reduction 
     technology deployed in the United States; and
       (7) to ensure that, until such time that domestic 
     enrichment and deconversion of high-assay, low-enriched 
     uranium is commercially available at the scale needed to meet 
     the needs of advanced nuclear reactor developers, the 
     Secretary considers and implements, as necessary--

             TITLE LIII--EMBASSY SECURITY AND CONSTRUCTION

     SEC. 5301. AMENDMENTS TO SECURE EMBASSY CONSTRUCTION AND 
                   COUNTERTERRORISM ACT OF 1999.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Secure 
     Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 2022``.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism 
     Act of 1999 (title VI of division A of appendix G of Public 
     Law 106-113) was a necessary response to bombings on August 
     7, 1998, at the United States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, 
     and in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that were destroyed by 
     simultaneously exploding bombs. The resulting explosions 
     killed 220 persons and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve 
     Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian employees of the United 
     States Foreign Service were killed in the attacks.
       (2) Those bombings, followed by the expeditionary 
     diplomatic efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrated the 
     need to prioritize the security of United States posts and 
     personnel abroad above other considerations.
       (3) Between 1999 and 2022, the risk calculus of the 
     Department impacted the ability of United States diplomats 
     around the world to advance the interests of the United 
     States through access to local populations, leaders, and 
     places.
       (4) America`s competitors and adversaries do not have the 
     same restrictions that United States diplomats have, 
     especially in critically important medium-threat and high-
     threat posts.
       (5) The Department`s 2021 Overseas Security Panel report 
     states that--
       (A) the requirement for setback and collocation of 
     diplomatic posts under paragraphs (2) and (3) of section 
     606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
     Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) has led to 
     skyrocketing costs of new embassies and consulates; and
       (B) the locations of such posts have become less desirable, 
     creating an extremely suboptimal nexus that further hinders 
     United States diplomats who are willing to accept more risk 
     in order to advance United States interests.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the setback and collocation requirements referred to in 
     subsection (b)(5)(A), even with available waivers, no longer 
     provide the security such requirements used to provide 
     because of advancement in technologies, such as remote 
     controlled drones,

[[Page S6337]]

     that can evade walls and other such static barriers;
       (2) the Department should focus on creating performance 
     security standards that--
       (A) attempt to keep the setback requirements of diplomatic 
     posts as limited as possible; and
       (B) provide diplomats access to local populations as much 
     as possible, while still providing a necessary level of 
     security;
       (3) collocation of diplomatic facilities is often not 
     feasible or advisable, particularly for public diplomacy 
     spaces whose mission is to reach and be accessible to wide 
     sectors of the public, including in countries with repressive 
     governments, since such spaces are required to permit the 
     foreign public to enter and exit the space easily and openly;
       (4) the Bureau of Diplomatic Security should--
       (A) fully utilize the waiver process provided under 
     paragraphs (2)(B) and (3)(B) of section 606(a) of the Secure 
     Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 
     U.S.C. 4865(a)); and
       (B) appropriately exercise such waiver process as a tool to 
     right-size the appropriate security footing at each 
     diplomatic post rather than only approving waivers in extreme 
     circumstances;
       (5) the return of great power competition requires--
       (A) United States diplomats to do all they can to 
     outperform our adversaries; and
       (B) the Department to better optimize use of taxpayer 
     funding to advance United States national interests; and
       (6) this section will better enable United States diplomats 
     to compete in the 21st century, while saving United States 
     taxpayers millions in reduced property and maintenance costs 
     at embassies and consulates abroad.
       (d) Definition of United States Diplomatic Facility.--
     Section 603 of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
     Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (title VI of division A of 
     appendix G of Public Law 106-113) is amended to read as 
     follows:

     ``SEC. 603. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

       ``In this title, the terms `United States diplomatic 
     facility` and `diplomatic facility` mean any chancery, 
     consulate, or other office that--
       ``(1) is considered by the Secretary of State to be 
     diplomatic or consular premises, consistent with the Vienna 
     Convention on Diplomatic Relations, done at Vienna April 18, 
     1961, and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, done 
     at Vienna April 24, 1963, and was notified to the host 
     government as such; or
       ``(2) is otherwise subject to a publicly available 
     bilateral agreement with the host government (contained in 
     the records of the United States Department of State) that 
     recognizes the official status of the United States 
     Government personnel present at the facility.``.
       (e) Guidance and Requirements for Diplomatic Facilities.--
       (1) Guidance for closure of public diplomacy facilities.--
     Section 5606(a) of the Public Diplomacy Modernization Act of 
     2021 (Public Law 117-81; 22 U.S.C. 1475g note) is amended to 
     read as follows:
       ``(a) In General.--In order to preserve public diplomacy 
     facilities that are accessible to the publics of foreign 
     countries, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
     Counterterrorism Act of 2022, the Secretary of State shall 
     adopt guidelines to collect and utilize information from each 
     diplomatic post at which the construction of a new embassy 
     compound or new consulate compound could result in the 
     closure or co-location of an American Space that is owned and 
     operated by the United States Government, generally known as 
     an American Center, or any other public diplomacy facility 
     under the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism 
     Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865 et seq.).``.
       (2) Security requirements for united states diplomatic 
     facilities.--Section 606(a) of the Secure Embassy 
     Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 
     4865(a)) is amended--
       (A) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking ``the threat`` and 
     inserting ``a range of threats, including that``;
       (B) in paragraph (2)--
       (i) in subparagraph (A)--

     State may waive subparagraph (A) if the Secretary, in 
     consultation with, as appropriate, the head of each agency 
     employing personnel that would not be located at the site, if 
     applicable, determines that it is in the national interest of

       (II) in clause (ii), by striking ``(ii) Chancery or

     inserting ``a quarterly``.

     SEC. 5302. DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT AND SECURITY.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
     ``Diplomatic Support and Security Act of 2022``.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) A robust overseas diplomatic presence is part of an 
     effective foreign policy, particularly in volatile 
     environments where a flexible and timely diplomatic response 
     can be decisive in preventing and addressing conflict.
       (2) Diplomats routinely put themselves and their families 
     at great personal risk to serve their country overseas where 
     they face threats related to international terrorism, violent 
     conflict, and public health.
       (3) The Department has a remarkable record of protecting 
     personnel while enabling an enormous amount of global 
     diplomatic activity, often in unsecure and remote places and 
     facing a variety of evolving risks and threats. With support 
     from Congress, the Department of State has revised policy, 
     improved physical security through retrofitting and replacing 
     old facilities, deployed additional security personnel and 
     armored vehicles, and greatly enhanced training requirements 
     and training facilities, including the new Foreign Affairs 
     Security Training Center in Blackstone, Virginia.
       (4) Diplomatic missions rely on robust staffing and 
     ambitious external engagement to advance United States 
     interests as diverse as competing with China`s malign 
     influence around the world, fighting terrorism and 
     transnational organized crime, preventing and addressing 
     violent conflict and humanitarian disasters, promoting United 
     States businesses and trade, protecting the rights of 
     marginalized groups, addressing climate change, and 
     preventing pandemic disease.
       (5) Efforts to protect personnel overseas have often 
     resulted in inhibiting diplomatic activity and limiting 
     engagement between embassy personnel and local governments 
     and populations.
       (6) Given that Congress currently provides annual 
     appropriations in excess of $1,900,000,000 for embassy 
     security, construction, and maintenance, the Department 
     should be able to ensure a robust overseas presence without 
     inhibiting the ability of diplomats to--
       (A) meet outside United States secured facilities with 
     foreign leaders to explain, defend, and advance United States 
     priorities;
       (B) understand and report on foreign political, social, and 
     economic conditions through meeting and interacting with 
     community officials outside of United States facilities;
       (C) provide United States citizen services; and
       (D) collaborate and, at times, compete with other 
     diplomatic missions, particularly those, such as that of the 
     People`s Republic of China, that do not have restrictions on 
     meeting locations.
       (7) Given these stakes, Congress has a responsibility to 
     empower, support, and hold the Department accountable for 
     implementing an aggressive strategy to ensure a robust 
     overseas presence that mitigates potential risks and 
     adequately considers the myriad direct and indirect 
     consequences of a lack of diplomatic presence.
       (c) Encouraging Expeditionary Diplomacy.--
       (1) Purpose.--Section 102(b) of the Diplomatic Security Act 
     of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4801(b)) is amended--
       (A) by amending paragraph (3) to read as follows:

[[Page S6338]]

     security concern for the United States, as the PRC`s efforts 
     to control markets and supply chains for strategic 
     infrastructure projects, including critical and strategic 
     minerals resource extraction, represent a grave national 
     security threat.

     industries and resource facilities, and critical and 
     strategic mineral resource extraction projects, including an 
     assessment of--
       (i) the strategic benefits of such investments that are

     nation and to United States interests;

     United States, including strategic infrastructure, such as

     strategic minerals, digital and telecommunications 
     infrastructure, threats to the supply chains, and general 
     favorability towards the PRC and the United States among the 
     populations of host countries;
       (D) assess the opportunities and challenges for companies 
     based in the United States and companies based in United 
     States partner and allied countries to invest in foreign 
     strategic infrastructure projects in countries where the PRC 
     has focused these types of investments;
       (E) identify challenges and opportunities for the United 
     States Government and

     projects, including an assessment of the authorities and 
     capabilities of United States agencies, departments, public-
     private partnerships, and international or multilateral 
     organizations to support such projects without undermining 
     United States domestic industries, such as domestic mineral 
     deposits;
       (F) include a feasibility study and options for United 
     States Government agencies to undertake or increase support 
     for United States businesses to support foreign, large-scale,

     SEC. 5301. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Regional Ocean Partnership 
     Act``.

     SEC. 5302. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS; PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The ocean and coastal waters and the Great Lakes of the 
     United States are foundational to the economy, security, 
     global competitiveness, and well-being of the United States 
     and continuously serve the people of the United States and 
     other countries as an important source of food, energy, 
     economic productivity, recreation, beauty, and enjoyment.
       (2) Over many years, the resource productivity and water 
     quality of the ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas of the 
     United States have been diminished by pollution, increasing 
     population demands, economic development, and natural and 
     man-made hazard events, both acute and chronic.
       (3) The ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas of the United 
     States are managed by State and Federal resource agencies and 
     Indian Tribes and regulated on an interstate and regional 
     scale by various overlapping Federal authorities, thereby 
     creating a significant need for interstate coordination to 
     enhance regional priorities, including the ecological and 
     economic health of those areas.
       (4) Indian Tribes have unique expertise and knowledge 
     important for the stewardship of the ocean and coastal waters 
     and the Great Lakes of the United States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should seek to support interstate 
     coordination of shared regional priorities relating to the 
     management, conservation, resilience, and restoration of 
     ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas to maximize 
     efficiencies through collaborative regional efforts by 
     Regional Ocean Partnerships, in coordination with Federal and 
     State agencies, Indian Tribes, and local authorities;
       (2) such efforts would enhance existing and effective 
     ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes management efforts of States 
     and Indian Tribes based on shared regional priorities; and
       (3) Regional Ocean Partnerships should coordinate with 
     Indian Tribes.
       (c) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
       (1) To complement and expand cooperative voluntary efforts 
     intended to manage, conserve, and restore ocean, coastal, and 
     Great Lakes areas spanning across multiple State and Indian 
     Tribe jurisdictions.
       (2) To expand Federal support for monitoring, data 
     management, restoration, research, and conservation 
     activities in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas.
       (3) To commit the United States to a comprehensive 
     cooperative program to achieve improved water quality in, and 
     improvements in the productivity of living resources of, 
     oceans, coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems.
       (4) To authorize Regional Ocean Partnerships as 
     intergovernmental coordinators for shared regional priorities 
     among States and Indian Tribes relating to the collaborative 
     management of the large marine ecosystems, thereby reducing 
     duplication of efforts and maximizing opportunities to 
     leverage support in the ocean and coastal regions.
       (5) To empower States to take a lead role in managing 
     oceans, coastal, and Great Lakes areas.
       (6) To incorporate rights of Indian Tribes in the 
     management of oceans, coasts, and

[[Page S6450]]

     Great Lakes resources and provide resources to support Indian 
     Tribe participation in and engagement with Regional Ocean 
     Partnerships.
       (7) To enable Regional Ocean Partnerships, or designated 
     fiscal management entities of such partnerships, to receive 
     Federal funding to conduct the scientific research, 
     conservation and restoration activities, and priority 
     coordination on shared regional priorities necessary to 
     achieve the purposes described in paragraphs (1) through (6).

                          Amendments Received

  Mr. REED. Mr. President, I submit amendments on behalf of other 
Senators.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The amendments will be received.
  (The amendments are printed in today's Record under ``Text of 
Amendments.'')
  Mr. REED. Mr. President, I rise to discuss the fiscal year 2023 
National Defense Authorization Act. In a few minutes, I will bring up 
this bill, which the Armed Services Committee passed by a broad 
bipartisan vote of 23 to 3 in June. I am glad we have the opportunity 
to consider the NDAA on the Senate floor. We are at a critical period 
in our Nation's security, and this bill will help ensure our military 
has the tools and capabilities it needs to combat threats around the 
globe and keep Americans safe.

[[Page S6466]]

  First, I would like to acknowledge Ranking Member Inhofe, whose 
leadership on this committee and in this body has been invaluable. His 
commitment to our men and women in uniform is unwavering, and he was 
instrumental in helping produce this bipartisan legislation. In honor 
of his well-earned retirement, I am pleased that the committee voted to 
name this year's bill the James M. Inhofe National Defense 
Authorization Act.
  As we discuss the NDAA, we must keep in mind that the United States 
is engaged in a long-term strategic competition with China and Russia. 
Beijing poses the primary potential threat to our national security, as 
the only country in the world with the economic and technological 
capacity to mount a sustained challenge to our interests. And, as we 
have seen with disturbing clarity, Putin has demonstrated his 
willingness to inflict violence and undermine global world order for 
his own benefit. The importance of U.S. support for the Ukrainian 
people cannot be overstated. They are fighting our fight, and we must 
aid them.
  Elsewhere, states like Iran and North Korea continue to push the 
boundaries of military brinksmanship, and issues like terrorism, 
climate change, and pandemics remain persistent threats. The 
interconnected nature of these problems must drive how we resource and 
transform our tools of national power. The passage of the fiscal year 
2023 National Defense Authorization Act will be a critical step toward 
meeting these complex challenges.
  Turning to the specifics of this year's defense bill, the NDAA 
authorizes $817 billion for the Department of Defense and $29 billion 
for national security programs within the Department of Energy. The 
bill contains a number of important provisions that I would like to 
briefly highlight.
  To begin, we have to ensure that the United States can outcompete, 
deter, and prevail against our near-peer rivals. This NDAA confronts 
China and Russia by fully investing in the Pacific Deterrence 
Initiative, the European Deterrence Initiative, and the Ukraine 
Security Assistance Initiative.
  As part of this effort, the bill increases the defense topline 
authorization by $45 billion to address the effects of inflation and 
accelerate implementation of the national defense strategy. This 
topline boost will accelerate the production of certain munitions and 
increase procurement of aircraft, naval vessels, armored vehicles, 
long-range fires, and other resources needed by the services and 
combatant commands.
  The committee has also included an authorization of $1 billion for 
the National Defense Stockpile to acquire strategic and critical 
minerals currently in shortfall. This will go a long way to help meet 
the defense, industrial, and essential civilian needs of the United 
States.
  We also include additional support for our industrial base to produce 
the munitions needed to backfill our stocks, while also keeping 
supplies flowing to Ukraine and other European allies. Many Senators on 
both sides of the aisle have been actively engaged in this effort, but 
I especially want to recognize Senator Shaheen's leadership. She has 
been instrumental in pushing new authorities that can be helpful for 
the Department of Defense to address the current challenge we have and 
better posture us for our future. Senator Shaheen's work has been 
highly impactful in the direction we ultimately took, which is 
reflected in the amendment that Senator Inhofe and I have offered as 
part of the managers' package.
  Relatedly, America's capacity for technological innovation has long 
given us the strongest economy and military on Earth, but this 
advantage is not a given. It must be nurtured and maintained. To that 
end, this year's NDAA authorizes significant funding increases for 
cutting-edge technologies like microelectronics, hypersonic weapons, 
and low-cost unmanned aircraft. Similarly, it increases funding to 
support U.S. Cyber Command's Hunt Forward Operations and artificial 
intelligence capabilities.
  And, as we navigate threats of nuclear escalation from Russia and 
increasing capabilities from China, the NDAA enhances our deterrence by 
helping to marginalize the U.S. nuclear triad. It also makes progress 
in ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of our nuclear 
stockpile, delivery systems, and infrastructure; increasing capacity in 
theater and homeland missile defense; and strengthening 
nonproliferation programs.
  Importantly, this year's NDAA provides a 4.6-percent pay raise for 
both servicemembers and their Department of Defense civilian workforce. 
It also authorizes additional funding to ease the impacts of inflation 
on the force and provides resources to support recruiting and retention 
needs.
  When I introduce the fiscal year 2023 NDAA, it will be a substitute 
to the House-passed NDAA. This substitute will be modified with a 
package of amendments that have been cleared on both sides. There are 
75 amendments, including 6 major authorization bills from other 
committees.
  Again, I am pleased that we have brought this bill to the floor so 
the entire Senate has an opportunity to participate in the process.
  I also want to take a moment to thank all the staff who accomplished 
this herculean task in a week. The staff of the Armed Services 
Committee worked tirelessly to ensure every possible amendment was 
cleared and included.
  I particularly want to thank Kevin Davis of the Office of Legislative 
Counsel, who went above and beyond to draft this substitute.
  The staff did a remarkable job, working tirelessly. They were led by 
Liz King and John Wason, and I salute both of them and all the members 
of the staff for their extraordinary efforts.
  The topline defense number in this bill, together with the 
allocations set by Chairman Leahy for defense and nondefense funding 
across the appropriations bills, provides a realistic balance for 
funding the military and the rest of the Federal Government. Once we 
have completed work on this important authorization bill, we need to 
complete the appropriations process.
  Let me conclude by once again thanking Ranking Member Inhofe and my 
colleagues. I particularly want to recognize and thank the Presiding 
Officer, Senator King of Maine, for his great work, and all for their 
thoughtful and bipartisan efforts to develop this important piece of 
legislation. I would also like to thank the staff, as I said before, 
for their tireless efforts on this bill throughout the year.
  I look forward to a thoughtful debate on the issues that face our 
Department of Defense and national security.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REED. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
