       Sec. 8117. Designation of America's National World War II 
     Museum. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The National D-Day Museum, operated in New Orleans, 
     Louisiana by an educational foundation, has been established 
     with the vision ``to celebrate the American Spirit''.
       (2) The National D-Day Museum is the only museum in the 
     United States that exists for the exclusive purpose of 
     interpreting the American experience during the World War II 
     years (1939-1945) on both the battlefront and the home front 
     and, in doing so, covers all of the branches of the Armed 
     Forces and the Merchant Marine.
       (3) The National D-Day Museum was founded by the preeminent 
     American historian, Stephen E. Ambrose, as a result of a 
     conversation with President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1963, 
     when the President and former Supreme Commander, Allied 
     Expeditionary Forces in Europe, credited Andrew Jackson 
     Higgins, the chief executive officer of Higgins Industries in 
     New Orleans, as the ``man who won the war for us'' because 
     the 12,000 landing craft designed by Higgins Industries made 
     possible all of the amphibious invasions of World War II and 
     carried American soldiers into every theatre of the war.
       (4) The National D-Day Museum, since its grand opening on 
     June 6, 2000, the 56th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of 
     Normandy, has attracted nearly 1,000,000 visitors from around 
     the world, 85 percent of whom have been Americans from across 
     the country.
       (5) American World War II veterans, called the ``greatest 
     generation'' of the Nation, are dying at the rapid rate of 
     more than 1,200 veterans each day, creating an urgent need to 
     preserve the stories, artifacts, and heroic achievements of 
     that generation.
       (6) The United States has a need to preserve forever the 
     knowledge and history of the Nation's most decisive 
     achievement in the 20th century and to portray that history 
     to citizens, visitors, and school children for centuries to 
     come.
       (7) Congress, recognizing the need to preserve this 
     knowledge and history, appropriated funds in 1992 to 
     authorize the design and construction of The National D-Day 
     Museum in New Orleans to commemorate the epic 1944 Normandy 
     invasion, and subsequently appropriated additional funds in 
     1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 to help expand the exhibits 
     in the museum to include the D-Day invasions in the Pacific 
     Theatre of Operations and the other campaigns of World War 
     II.
       (8) The State of Louisiana and thousands of donors and 
     foundations across the country have contributed millions of 
     dollars to help build this national institution.
       (9) The Board of Trustees of The National D-Day Museum is 
     national in scope and diverse in its makeup.
       (10) The World War II Memorial now under construction on 
     the National Mall in Washington, the District of Columbia, 
     will always be the memorial in our Nation where people come 
     to remember America's sacrifices in World War II, while The 
     National D-Day Museum will always be the museum of the 
     American experience in the World War II years (1939-1945), 
     where people come to learn about Americans' experiences 
     during that critical period, as well as a place where the 
     history of our Nation's monumental struggle against worldwide 
     aggression by would-be oppressors is preserved so that future 
     generations can understand the role the United States played 
     in the preservation and advancement of democracy and freedom 
     in the middle of the 20th century.
       (11) The National D-Day Museum seeks to educate a diverse 
     group of audiences through its collection of artifacts, 
     photographs, letters, documents, and first-hand personal 
     accounts of the participants in the war and on the home front 
     during one of history's darkest hours.
       (12) The National D-Day Museum is devoted to the combat 
     experience of United States citizen soldiers in all of the 
     theatres of World War II and to the heroic efforts of the men 
     and women on the home front who worked tirelessly to support 
     the troops and the war effort.
       (13) The National D-Day Museum continues to add to and 
     maintain one of the largest personal history collections in 
     the United States of the men and women who fought in World 
     War II and who served on the home front.
       (14) No other museum describes as well the volunteer spirit 
     that arose throughout the United States and united the 
     country during the World War II years.
       (15) The National D-Day Museum is engaged in a 250,000 
     square foot expansion to include the Center for the Study of 
     the American Spirit, an advanced format theatre, and a new 
     United States pavilion.
       (16) The planned ``We're All in this Together'' exhibit 
     will describe the role every State, commonwealth, and 
     territory played in World War II, and the computer database 
     and software of The National D-Day Museum's educational 
     program will be made available to the teachers and school 
     children of every State, commonwealth, and territory.
       (17) The National D-Day Museum is an official Smithsonian 
     affiliate institution with a formal agreement to borrow 
     Smithsonian artifacts for future exhibitions.
       (18) Le Memorial de Caen in Normandy, France has formally 
     recognized The National D-Day Museum as its official partner 
     in a Patriotic Alliance signed on October 16, 2002, by both 
     museums.
       (19) The official Battle of the Bulge museums in Luxembourg 
     and the American Battlefield

[[Page 18804]]

     Monuments Commission are already collaborating with The 
     National D-Day Museum on World War II exhibitions.
       (20) For all of these reasons, it is appropriate to 
     designate The National D-Day Museum as ``America's National 
     World War II Museum''.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are, through 
     the designation of The National D-Day Museum as ``America's 
     National World War II Museum'', to express the United States 
     Government's support for--
       (1) the continuing preservation, maintenance, and 
     interpretation of the artifacts, documents, images, and 
     history collected by the museum;
       (2) the education of the American people as to the American 
     experience in combat and on the home front during the World 
     War II years, including the conduct of educational outreach 
     programs for teachers and students throughout the United 
     States;
       (3) the operation of a premier facility for the public 
     display of artifacts, photographs, letters, documents, and 
     personal histories from the World War II years (1939-1945);
       (4) the further expansion of the current European and 
     Pacific campaign exhibits in the museum, including the Center 
     for the Study of the American Spirit for education; and
       (5) ensuring the understanding by all future generations of 
     the magnitude of the American contribution to the Allied 
     victory in World War II, the sacrifices made to preserve 
     freedom and democracy, and the benefits of peace for all 
     future generations in the 21st century and beyond.
       (c) Designation of ``America's National World War II 
     Museum''.--The National D-Day Museum, New Orleans, Louisiana, 
     is designated as ``America's National World War II Museum''.
       Sec. 8118. Native American Veteran Housing Loans. (a) Title

     civil liberties and privacy; and

       Sec.  8142. In Recognition of the National Guard and 
     Reserve's Contributions to Our National Security and 
     Expressing Strong Support for the Senate's Previous 
     Bipartisan Vote To Provide These Forces Access to TRICARE. 
     (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) Forces in the United States National Guard and Reserve 
     have made and continue to make essential and effective 
     contributions to Operation Iraqi Freedom and other ongoing 
     military operations.
       (2) More than 200,000 Reserve personnel from the Army, 
     Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are currently 
     serving their Nation on active status.
       (3) Our dependence on the National Guard and Reserve has 
     increased dramatically over the course of the past decade. 
     Annual duty days have grown from about 1 million in the late 
     1980s to more than 12 million in every year since 1996.
       (4) While our dependence on the Reserves has increased in 
     the post-Cold War era, their basic pay and benefits structure 
     has remained largely unchanged.
       (5) Offering TRICARE to reservists for an affordable 
     monthly premium enhances our national security by improving 
     their medical readiness when called to duty, streamlining and 
     accelerating the mobilization process, and enhancing our 
     military's ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel 
     to reserve duty.
       (6) The Congressional Budget Office, the official, 
     nonpartisan scorekeeper of all congressional legislation, has 
     estimated the cost of this proposal at just over one-tenth of 
     one percent of the Administration's fiscal year 2004 defense 
     budget request.
       (7) On May 20, 2003, a strong majority of Senate Democrats 
     and Republicans joined together and voted 85-10 for an 
     amendment to the fiscal year 2004 Defense authorization bill 
     to provide reserve personnel and their families access to 
     TRICARE regardless of their current deployment status.
       (8) The Appropriations Committee indicated in its report 
     accompanying the fiscal year 2004 Defense appropriations bill 
     that it supports this proposal.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the National Guard and Reserve play a critical and 
     increasingly demanding role in protecting our national 
     security; and
       (2) the Senate supports the Appropriations Committee 
     position as articulated in the report accompanying the fiscal 
     year 2004 Defense appropriations bill and affirms its support 
     for providing Guard and Reserve personnel access to TRICARE.
       Sec. 8143. (a) The Secretary of Defense--
       (1) shall review--
       (A) all contractual offset arrangements to which the policy 
     established under section 2532 of title 10, United States 
     Code, applies that are in effect on the date of the enactment 
     of this Act;
       (B) any memoranda of understanding and related agreements 
     to which the limitation in section 2531(c) of such title 
     applies that have been entered into with a country with 
     respect to which such contractual offset arrangements have 
     been entered into and are in effect on such date; and
       (C) any waivers granted with respect to a foreign country 
     under section 2534(d)(3) of title 10, United States Code, 
     that are in effect on such date; and
       (2) shall determine the effects of the use of such 
     arrangements, memoranda of understanding, and agreements on 
     the effectiveness of buy American requirements provided in 
     law.
       (b) The Secretary shall submit a report on the results of 
     the review under subsection (a) to Congress not later than 
     March 1, 2005. The report shall include a discussion of each 
     of the following:
       (1) The effects of the contractual offset arrangements on 
     specific subsectors of the industrial base of the United 
     States and what actions have been taken to prevent or 
     ameliorate any serious adverse effects on such subsectors.
       (2) The extent, if any, to which the contractual offset 
     arrangements and memoranda of understanding and related 
     agreements have provided for technology transfer that would 
     significantly and adversely affect the defense industrial 
     base of the United States and would result in substantial 
     financial loss to a United States firm.
       (3) The extent to which the use of such contractual offset 
     arrangements is consistent with--
       (A) the limitation in section 2531(c) of title 10, United 
     States Code, that prohibits implementation of a memorandum of

       Sec. 8165. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) If a terrorist group were to acquire the necessary 
     fissile material for a nuclear explosive device, it would not 
     be difficult for the group to construct such a device, the 
     explosion of which could kill and injure thousands, or even 
     hundreds of thousands, of people and destroy a large area of 
     a city.
       (2) If a terrorist group were to acquire a complete nuclear 
     weapon from a nation which has constructed nuclear weapons, 
     it is likely that the group would be able to detonate the 
     device with similar results.
       (3) A nation supplying either complete nuclear weapons or 
     special nuclear material to terrorists might believe that it 
     could escape retaliation by the United States, as the United 
     States would not be able to determine the origin of either a 
     weapon or its fissile material.
       (4) It is possible, however, to determine the country of 
     origin of fissile material after a nuclear explosion, 
     provided that samples of the radioactive debris from the 
     explosion are collected promptly and analyzed in appropriate 
     laboratories.
       (5) If radioactive debris is collected soon enough after a 
     nuclear explosion, it is also possible to determine the 
     characteristics of the nuclear explosive device involved, 
     which information can assist in locating and dismantling 
     other nuclear devices that may threaten the United States.
       (6) If countries that might contemplate supplying nuclear 
     weapons or fissile material to terrorists know that their 
     assistance can be traced, they are much less likely to allow 
     terrorists access to either weapons or material.
       (7) It is in the interest of the United States to acquire a 
     capability to collect promptly the debris from a nuclear 
     explosion that might occur in any part of the Nation.
       (b) Sense of the Senate on Nuclear Debris Collection and 
     Analysis Capability.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Secretary of Defense should develop and deploy a 
     nuclear debris collection and analysis capability sufficient 
     to enable characterization of any nuclear device that might 
     be exploded in the United States;
       (2) the capability should incorporate airborne debris 
     collectors, either permanently installed on dedicated 
     aircraft or available for immediate use on a class of 
     aircraft, stationed so that a properly equipped and manned 
     aircraft is available to collect debris from a nuclear 
     explosion anywhere in the United States and transport such 
     debris to an appropriate laboratory in a timely fashion; and
       (3) to the maximum extent practicable, the capability 
     should be compatible with collection and analysis systems 
     used by the United States to characterize overseas nuclear 
     explosions.
       (c) Report.--Not later than March 31, 2004, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the feasibility of developing and 
     deploying the capability described in subsection (b)(1).
       Sec. 8166. Of the amount appropriated by title II of this 
     Act under the heading ``Operation and Maintenance, Army'' up 
     to $15,000,000 may be made available for upgrades of M1A1 
     Abrams tank transmissions.
       Sec. 8167. Of the total amount appropriated by title II of 
     this Act under the heading ``Operations and Maintenance, 
     Army'', up to $2,000,000 may be used to promote civil rights 
     education and history in the Army.
       Sec. 8168. Reports on Safety Issues Due to Defective Parts. 
     (a) Report from the Secretary.--The Secretary shall by March 
     31, 2004, examine and report back to the congressional 
     defense committees on--
       (1) how to implement a system for tracking safety-critical 
     parts so that parts discovered to be defective, including due 
     to faulty or fraudulent work by a contractor or 
     subcontractor, can be identified and found;
       (2) appropriate standards and procedures to ensure timely 
     notification of contracting agencies and contractors about 
     safety issues including parts that may be defective, and 
     whether the Government Industry Data Exchange Program should 
     be made mandatory;
       (3) efforts to find and test airplane parts that have been 
     heat treated by companies alleged to have done so improperly; 
     and
       (4) whether contracting agencies and contractors have been 
     notified about alleged improper heat treatment of airplane 
     parts.
       (b) Report from the Comptroller General.--The Comptroller 
     General shall examine and report back to the congressional 
     defense committees on--
       (1) the oversight of subcontractors by prime contractors, 
     and testing and quality assurance of the work of the 
     subcontractors; and
       (2) the oversight of prime contractors by the Department, 
     the accountability of prime contractors for overseeing 
     subcontractors, and the use of enforcement mechanisms by the 
     Department.
       Sec. 8169. Not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to Congress, in writing, a report on contracts for 
     reconstruction and other services in Iraq that are funded in 
     whole or in part with funds available to the Department of 
     Defense. The report shall detail--
       (1) the process and standards for designing and awarding 
     such contracts, including assistance or consulting services 
     provided by contractors in that process;
       (2) the process and standards for awarding limited or sole-
     source contracts, including the criteria for justifying the 
     awarding of such contracts;
       (3) any policies that the Secretary has implemented or 
     plans to implement to provide for independent oversight of 
     the performance by a contractor of services in designing and 
     awarding such contracts;

[[Page 18807]]

       (4) any policies that the Secretary has implemented or 
     plans to implement to identify, assess, and prevent any 
     conflict of interest relating to such contracts for 
     reconstruction;

     relating to such contracts for reconstruction;
       (6) the process and criteria used to determine the
