       (a) Sense of Congress on Program To Secure Stockpiles of 
     Highly Enriched Uranium and Plutonium.--(1) It is the sense 
     of Congress that the Secretary of Energy, in consultation 
     with the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, should 
     develop a comprehensive program of activities to encourage 
     all countries with nuclear materials to adhere to, or to 
     adopt standards equivalent to, the International Atomic 
     Energy Agency standard on The Physical Protection of Nuclear 
     Material and Nuclear Facilities (INFCIRC/225/Rev.4), relating 
     to the security of stockpiles of highly enriched uranium 
     (HEU) and plutonium (Pu).
       (2) To the maximum extent practicable, the program should 
     be developed in consultation with the Russian Federation, 
     other Group of 8 countries, and other allies of the United 
     States.
       (3) Activities under the program should include specific, 
     targeted incentives intended to encourage countries that 
     cannot undertake the expense of conforming to the standard 
     referred to in paragraph (1) to relinquish their highly 
     enriched uranium (HEU) or plutonium (Pu), including 
     incentives in which a country, group of countries, or 
     international body--
       (A) purchase such materials and provide for their security 
     (including by removal to another location);
       (B) undertake the costs of decommissioning facilities that 
     house such materials;
       (C) in the case of research reactors, convert such reactors 
     to low-enriched uranium reactors; or

  SA 4054. Mr. CONRAD submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 2514, authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2003 
for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military 
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, 
to prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year for the Armed 
Forces, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; 
as follows:

       At the appropriate place insert the following:

     SEC.   . RUSSIAN TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

       (a) Findings.--
       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations, in addition 
     to rogue states, are known to be working to acquire weapons 
     of mass destruction, and particularly nuclear warheads.
       (2) The largest and least secure potential source of 
     nuclear warheads for terrorists or rogue states is Russia's 
     arsenal of non-strategic or ``tactical'' nuclear warheads, 
     which according to unclassified estimates numbers from 7,000 
     to 12,000 warheads. Security at Russian nuclear weapon 
     storage sites is insufficient, and tactical nuclear warheads 
     are more vulnerable to terrorist or rogue state acquisition 
     due to their smaller size, greater portability, and greater 
     numbers compared to Russian strategic nuclear weapons.

[[Page 11594]]

       (3) Russia's tactical nuclear warheads were not covered by 
     the START treaties or the recent Moscow Treaty. Russia is not 
     legally bound to reduce its tactical nuclear stockpile and 
     the United States has no inspection rights regarding Russia's 
     tactical nuclear arsenal.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--
       (1) One of the most likely nuclear weapons attack scenarios 
     against the United States would involve detonation of a 
     stolen Russian tactical nuclear warhead smuggled into the 
     country.
       (2) It is a top national security priority of the United 
     States to accelerate efforts to account for, secure, and 
     reduce Russia's stockpile of tactical nuclear warheads and 
     associated fissile material.
       (3) This imminent threat warrants a special non-
     proliferation initiative.
       (c) Report.--
       Not later than 30 days after enaction of this act, the 
     President shall report to Congress on efforts to reduce the 
     particular threats associated with Russia's tactical nuclear 
     arsenal and the outlines of a special initiative related to 
     reducing the threat from Russia's tactical nuclear stockpile.

     materials and the future-years defense program submitted to 
     Congress in relation to such budget under section 221 of this

     SEC.  . RUSSIAN TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

       (a) Findings.--
       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations, in addition 
     to rogue states, are known to be working to acquire weapons 
     of mass destruction, and particularly nuclear warheads.
       (2) The largest and least secure potential source of 
     nuclear warheads for terrorists or rogue states is Russia's 
     arsenal of non-strategic or ``tactical'' nuclear warheads, 
     which according to unclassified estimates numbers from 7,000 
     to 12,000 warheads. Security at Russian nuclear weapon 
     storage sites is insufficient, and tactical nuclear warheads 
     are more vulnerable to terrorist or rogue state acquisition 
     due to their smaller size, greater portability, and greater 
     numbers compared to Russian strategic nuclear weapons.
       (3) Russia's tactical nuclear warheads were not covered by 
     the START treaties or the recent Moscow Treaty. Russia is not 
     legally bound to reduce its tactical nuclear stockpile and 
     the United States has no inspection rights regarding Russia's 
     tactical nuclear arsenal.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--
       (1) One of the most likely nuclear weapon attack scenarios 
     against the United States would involve detonation of a 
     stolen Russian tactical nuclear warhead smuggled into the 
     country.
       (2) It is a top national security priority of the United 
     States to accelerate efforts to account for, secure, and 
     reduce Russia's stockpile of tactical nuclear warheads and 
     associated fissile material.
       (3) This imminent threat warrants a special non-
     proliferation initiative.
       (c) Report.--
       Not later than 30 days after enactment of this act, the 
     President shall report to Congress on efforts to reduce the 
     particular threats associated with Russia's tactical nuclear 
     arsenal and the outlines of a special initiative related to 
     reducing the threat from Russia's tactical nuclear stockpile.

     maintain the ship force structure that is described as the 
     current force in the 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review.
       (4) The Navy is decommissioning ships as much as 10 years 
     earlier than the projected ship life upon which ship 
     replacement rates are based.

     support ships for the Navy that--
       ``(1) supports the National Security Strategy; or

     and shall include the following matters:
       ``(1) A description of the necessary ship force structure 
     of the Navy.

     the budget for the fiscal year covered by the defense budget 
     materials and the future-years defense program submitted to 
     Congress in relation to such budget under section 221 of this 
     title provide for funding ship construction for the Navy at a 
     level that is sufficient for the procurement of the ships 
     provided for in the plan on schedule.
       ``(4) If the budget for the fiscal year provides for 
     funding ship construction at a level that is not sufficient 
     for the recapitalization of the force of Navy ships at the 
     annual rate necessary to sustain the force, an assessment 
     (coordinated with the commanders of the combatant commands in 
     advance) that describes and discusses the risks associated

       ``(1) The term `budget', with respect to a fiscal year, 
     means the budget for such fiscal year that is submitted to

     for the cause of freedom since the founding of the Nation.

     members of the Armed Forces in support of the Nation's 
     defense missions during every conflict in the history of the 
     United States.
       (3) 400 United States military chaplains have died in 
     combat, some as a result of direct fire while ministering to 
     fallen Americans, while others made the ultimate sacrifice as 
     a prisoner of war.
       (4) Military chaplains currently serve in humanitarian 
     operations, rotational deployments, and in the war on 
     terrorism.
       (5) Religious organizations make up the very fabric of 
     religious diversity and represent unparalleled levels of 
     freedom of conscience, speech, and worship that set the 
     United States apart from any other nation on Earth.
       (6) Religious organizations have richly blessed the 
     uniformed services by sending clergy to comfort and encourage 
     all persons of faith in the Armed Forces.

     1943 during World War II, four chaplains (Reverend Fox, 
     Reverend Poling, Father Washington, and Rabbi Goode) gave

     issues of today's world.
       (9) The current war against terrorism has brought to the 
     shores of the United States new threats and concerns that 
     strike at the beliefs and emotions of Americans.

     expresses its appreciation for the outstanding contribution
