     SEC. 832. LIMITATION AND REINVESTMENT AUTHORITY RELATING TO 
                   REDUCTION OF THE DEFENSE ACQUISITION AND 
                   SUPPORT WORKFORCE.

       (a) Limitation.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the defense acquisition and support workforce may not be 
     reduced, during fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008, below the 
     level of that workforce as of September 30, 2004, determined 
     on the basis of full-time employee equivalence, except as may 
     be necessary to strengthen the defense acquisition and 
     support workforce in higher priority positions in accordance 
     with this section.
       (b) Increase and Realignment of Workforce.--(1)(A) During 
     fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall increase the number of persons employed in the defense 
     acquisition and support workforce as follows:
       (i) During fiscal year 2006, to 105 percent of the baseline 
     number (as defined in subparagraph (B)).

     subparagraph (A) and, subject to subsection (a), employ in 
     the defense acquisition and support workforce a lesser number 
     of employees if the Secretary determines and certifies to the 
     congressional defense committees that the cost of increasing 
     such workforce to the larger size as required under that 
     subparagraph would exceed the savings to be derived from the 
     additional oversight that would be achieved by having a 
     defense acquisition and support workforce of such larger 
     size.
       (2) During fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008, the Secretary 
     of Defense may realign any part of the defense acquisition

     engineering.

     drafting performance-based work statements for services 
     contracts and overseeing the performance of contracts awarded 
     pursuant to such work statements.

     conducting spending analyses, negotiating company-wide 
     pricing agreements, and taking other measures to reduce 
     contract costs.

     reviewing contractor quality control systems, assessing and 
     analyzing quality deficiency reports, and taking other

     effectively conducting public-private competitions in 
     accordance with Office of Management and Budget Circular A-
     76.
       (6) Any other positions in the defense acquisition and 
     support workforce that the Secretary of Defense identifies as 
     being higher priority positions that are staffed at levels 
     not likely to ensure efficient and effective performance of 
     all of the responsibilities of those positions.
       (d) Strategic Assessment and Plan.--(1) The Secretary of 
     Defense shall--
       (A) assess the extent to which the Department of Defense 
     can recruit, retain, train, and provide professional 
     development opportunities for acquisition professionals over 
     the 10-fiscal year period beginning with fiscal year 2006; 
     and

     workforce'' means members of the Armed Forces and civilian 
     personnel who are assigned to, or are employed in, an 
     organization of the Department of Defense that has

     providing less support to that youth organization (or any 
     similar organization chartered under the chapter of title 36, 
     United States Code, relating to that youth organization) than 
     was provided during the preceding fiscal year. This clause

       (ii) Youth organizations that cease to exist.--Clause (i)

     respect to each conviction or investigation described under 
     subclause (I) or (II) for a period of not more than 2 fiscal

       (iv) providing personnel services and logistical support.
       (c) Support for Scout Jamborees.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (A) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the 
     United States commits exclusively to Congress the powers to 
     raise and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and 
     make rules for the government and regulation of the land and 
     naval forces.
       (B) Under those powers conferred by section 8 of article I 
     of the Constitution of the United States to provide, support, 
     and maintain the Armed Forces, it lies within the discretion 
     of Congress to provide opportunities to train the Armed 
     Forces.
       (C) The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to defend 
     our national security and prepare for combat should the need 
     arise.
       (D) One of the most critical elements in defending the 
     Nation and preparing for combat is training in conditions 
     that simulate the preparation, logistics, and leadership 
     required for defense and combat.
       (E) Support for youth organization events simulates the 
     preparation, logistics, and leadership required for defending 
     our national security and preparing for combat.
       (F) For example, Boy Scouts of America's National Scout 
     Jamboree is a unique training event for the Armed Forces, as 
     it requires the construction, maintenance, and disassembly of 
     a ``tent city'' capable of supporting tens of thousands of 
     people for a week or longer. Camporees at the United States 
     Military Academy for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts provide 
     similar training opportunities on a smaller scale.
       (2) Support.--Section 2554 of title 10, United States Code, 
     is amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(i)(1) The Secretary of Defense shall provide at least 
     the same level of support under this section for a national 
     or world Boy Scout Jamboree as was provided under this 
     section for the preceding national or world Boy Scout 
     Jamboree.
       ``(2) The Secretary of Defense may waive paragraph (1), if 
     the Secretary--
       ``(A) determines that providing the support subject to 
     paragraph (1) would be detrimental to the national security 
     of the United States; and
       ``(B) reports such a determination to the Congress in a 
     timely manner, and before such support is not provided.''.
       (d) Equal Access for Youth Organizations.--Section 109 of 
     the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 
     5309) is amended--
       (1) in the first sentence of subsection (b) by inserting 
     ``or (e)'' after ``subsection (a)''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(e) Equal Access.--
       ``(1) Definition.--In this subsection, the term `youth 
     organization' means any organization described under part B 
     of subtitle II of title 36, United States Code, that is 
     intended to serve individuals under the age of 21 years.
       ``(2) In general.--No State or unit of general local 
     government that has a designated

[[Page 22042]]

     open forum, limited public forum, or nonpublic forum and that 
     is a recipient of assistance under this chapter shall deny 
     equal access or a fair opportunity to meet to, or 
     discriminate against, any youth organization, including the 
     Boy Scouts of America or any group officially affiliated with 
     the Boy Scouts of America, that wishes to conduct a meeting 
     or otherwise participate in that designated open forum, 
     limited public forum, or nonpublic forum.''.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 1943 and 1944, the United States Armed Forces 
     operated a rest and relaxation facility in Mackay, 
     Queensland, Australia, for troops serving in the Pacific 
     Theater during World War II.
       (2) On June 14, 1943, a Boeing B-17C was transporting 6 
     crew members and 35 servicemen from Mackay to Port Moresby, 
     New Guinea, to return the servicemen to duty after 10 days of 
     rest and relaxation leave at an Army/Red Cross facility.
       (3) The aircraft crashed shortly after take-off at Bakers 
     Creek, Australia, killing all 6 crew members and 34 of the 35 
     servicemen being transported in what was at that point the 
     worst crash in American air transport history, and what 
     remains the worst air disaster in Australian history.
       (4) Due to wartime censorship rules related to the movement 
     of troops, the tragic crash and loss of life were not 
     reported to the Australian or United States public.
       (5) Many family members of those killed did not learn the 
     circumstances of the troops deaths until they were contacted 
     by the Bakers Creek Memorial Foundation beginning in 1992.
       (6) As of May 2005, the Bakers Creek Memorial Foundation 
     had contacted 36 of the 40 families that lost loved ones in 
     the tragic crash, and was continuing efforts to locate the 
     remaining four families to inform them of the true events of 
     the crash at Bakers Creek.
       (7) The Australian people marked the tragic crash at Bakers 
     Creek with a memorial established in 1992, but no similar 
     memorial has been established in the United States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of the Army may establish an appropriate 
     marker, at a site to be chosen at the discretion of the 
     Secretary, to commemorate the 40 members of the United States 
     Armed Forces who lost their lives in the air crash at Bakers 
     Creek, Australia, on June 14, 1943.

     SEC. 330. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING DEPOT MAINTENANCE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Depot Maintenance Strategy and Master Plan of the 
     Air Force reflects the essential requirements for the Air 
     Force to maintain a ready and controlled source of organic 
     technical competence, thereby ensuring an effective and 
     timely response to national defense contingencies and 
     emergency requirements;
       (2) since the publication of the Depot Maintenance Strategy 
     and Master Plan of the Air Force in 2002, the service has 
     made great progress toward modernizing all 3 of its Depots, 
     in order to maintain their status as ``world class'' 
     maintenance repair and overhaul operations;
       (3) one of the indispensable components of the Depot 
     Maintenance Strategy and Master Plan of the Air Force is the 
     commitment of the Air Force to allocate $150,000,000 a year 
     over 6 years, beginning in fiscal year 2004, for 
     recapitalization and investment, including the procurement of 
     technologically advanced facilities and equipment, of our 
     Nation's 3 Air Force depots; and
       (4) the funds expended to date have ensured that 
     transformation projects, such as the initial implementation 
     of ``Lean'' and ``Six Sigma'' production techniques, have 
     achieved great success in reducing the time necessary to 
     perform depot maintenance on aircraft.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Air Force should be commended for the 
     implementation of its Depot Maintenance Strategy and Master 
     Plan and, in particular, meeting its commitment to invest 
     $150,000,000 a year over 6 years, since fiscal year 2004, in 
     the Nation's 3 Air Force Depots; and
       (2) the Air Force should continue to fully fund its 
     commitment of $150,000,000 a year through fiscal year 2009 in 
     investments and recapitalization projects pursuant to the 
     Depot Maintenance Strategy and Master Plan.

     diplomatic means to achieve this result;
       (F) to pursue diplomacy designed to address the underlying

     violations of the Treaty or retain access to controlled 
     materials and equipment acquired for ``peaceful'' purposes;
       (K) to accelerate implementation of disarmament obligations 
     and commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 
     for the purpose of reducing the world's stockpiles of nuclear 
     weapons and weapons-grade fissile material; and
       (L) to strengthen and expand support for the Proliferation 
     Security Initiative.

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       (a) Findings.--
       (1) According to the Department of State, drug trafficking 
     organizations shipped approximately nine tones of cocaine to 
     the United States through the Dominican Republic in 2004, and 
     are increasingly using small, high-speed watercraft.
       (2) Drug traffickers use the Caribbean corridor to smuggle 
     narcotics to the United States via Puerto Rico and the 
     Dominican Republic. This route is ideal for drug trafficking 
     because of its geographic expanse, numerous law enforcement 
     jurisdictions and fragmented investigative efforts.
       (3) The tethered aerostat system in Lajas, Puerto Rico 
     contributes to deterring and detecting smugglers moving 
     illicit drugs into Puerto Rico. The aerostat's range and 
     operational capabilities allow it to provide surveillance 
     coverage of the eastern Caribbean corridor and the strategic 
     waterway between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, 
     known a the Mona Passage.
       (4) Including maritime radar on the Lajas aerostat will 
     expand its ability to detect suspicious vessels in the 
     eastern Caribbean corridor.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--Given the above findings, it is 
     the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) Congress and the Department of Defense fully fund the 
     Counter-Drug Tethered Aerostat program.
       (2) Department of Defense install maritime radar on the 
     Lajas, Puerto Rico aerostat.

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       Sec. __. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2004 
     (Public Law 108-87), the Department of Defense Appropriations 
     Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287), and the Emergency 
     Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War 
     on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005 (Public Law 109-13) each 
     contain a sense of the Senate provision urging the President 
     to provide in the annual budget requests of the President for 
     a fiscal year under section 1105(a) of title 31, United 
     States Code, an estimate of the cost of ongoing military 
     operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in such fiscal year.
       (2) The budget for fiscal year 2006 submitted to Congress 
     by the President on February 7, 2005, requests no funds for 
     fiscal year 2006 for ongoing military operations in Iraq or 
     Afghanistan.
       (3) According to the Congressional Research Service, there 
     exists historical precedent for including the cost of ongoing 
     military operations in the annual budget requests of the 
     President following initial funding for such operations by 
     emergency or supplemental appropriations Acts, including--
       (A) funds for Operation Noble Eagle, beginning in the 
     budget request of President George W. Bush for fiscal year 
     2005;
       (B) funds for operations in Kosovo, beginning in the budget 
     request of President George W. Bush for fiscal year 2001;
       (C) funds for operations in Bosnia, beginning in budget 
     request of President Clinton for fiscal year 1997;
       (D) funds for operations in Southwest Asia, beginning in 
     the budget request of President Clinton for fiscal year 1997;
       (E) funds for operations in Vietnam, beginning in the 
     budget request of President Johnson for fiscal year 1966; and
       (F) funds for World War II, beginning in the budget request 
     of President Roosevelt for fiscal year 1943.
       (4) In section 1024(b) of Emergency Supplemental 
     Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and 
     Tsunami Relief, 2005 (119 Stat. 252), the Senate requested 
     that the President submit to Congress, not later than 
     September 1, 2005, an amendment to the budget of the 
     President for fiscal year 2006 setting forth detailed cost 
     estimates for ongoing military operations overseas during 
     such fiscal year.
       (5) The President has yet to submit such an amendment.
       (6) The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006, as 
     reported to the Senate by the Committion on Appropriations of 
     the Senate on September 28, 2005, contains a bridge fund of 
     $50,000,000,000 for overseas contingency operations, but the 
     determination of that amount could not take into account any 
     Administration estimate on the projected cost of such 
     operations in fiscal year 2006.
       (7) In February 2005, the Congressional Budget Office 
     estimated that fiscal year 2006 cost of ongoing military 
     operations in Iraq and Afghanistan could total 
     $85,000,000,000.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) any request for funds for a fiscal year after fiscal 
     year 2006 for an ongoing military operation overseas, 
     including operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, should be 
     included in the annual budget of the President for such 
     fiscal year as submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of 
     title 31, United States Code;
       (2) the amendment to the budget of the President for fiscal 
     year 2006, requested by the Senate to be submitted to 
     Congress not later than September 1, 2005, by section 1024(b) 
     of Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the 
     Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005, is necessary 
     to describe the anticipated use of the $50,000,000,000 bridge 
     fund appropriated in this Act and set forth all additional 
     appropriations that will be required for the fiscal year; and
       (3) any funds provided for a fiscal year for ongoing 
     military operations overseas should be provided in 
     appropriations Acts for such fiscal year through 
     appropriations to specific accounts set forth in such 
     appropriations Acts.
