    Page 379, after line 19, add the following:

    TITLE XIII--UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

SEC. 1301. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``United States Armed Forces 
in Bosnia Protection Act of 1997''.

SEC. 1302. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS OF POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
    (1)(A) On November 27, 1995, the President affirmed that 
United States participation in the multinational military 
Implementation Force in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 
would terminate in one year.
    (B) The President declared the expiration date of the 
mandate for the Implementation Force to be December 20, 1996.
    (2) The Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff likewise expressed their confidence that the 
Implementation Force would complete its mission in one year.
    (3) The exemplary performance of United States Armed Forces 
personnel has significantly contributed to the accomplishment 
of the military mission of the Implementation Force. The 
courage, dedication, and professionalism of such personnel have 
permitted a separation of the belligerent parties to the 
conflict in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and have 
resulted in a significant mitigation of the violence and 
suffering in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
    (4) On October 3, 1996, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff announced the intention of the United States 
Administration to delay the removal of United States Armed 
Forces personnel from the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 
until March 1997 due to operational reasons.
    (5) Notwithstanding the fact that the President, the 
Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff assured the Congress of their resolve to end the mission 
of United States Armed Forces in the Republic of Bosnia and 
Herzegovina by December 20, 1996, in November 1996 the 
President announced his intention to further extend the 
deployment of United States Armed Forces in the Republic of 
Bosnia and Herzegovina until June 1998.
    (6) Before the announcement of the new policy referred to 
in paragraph (5), the President did not request authorization 
by the Congress of a policy that would result in the further 
deployment of United States Armed Forces in the Republic of 
Bosnia and Herzegovina until June 1998.
    (b) Declarations of Policy.--The Congress--
    (1) expresses its serious concerns and opposition to the 
policy of the President that has resulted in the deployment 
after December 20, 1996, of United States Armed Forces on the 
ground in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina without prior 
authorization by the Congress; and
    (2) urges the President to work with our European allies to 
begin an orderly transition of all peacekeeping functions in 
the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the United States 
to appropriate European countries in preparation for a complete 
withdrawal of all United States Armed Forces by December 31, 
1997.

SEC. 1303. PROHIBITION OF USE OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FUNDS FOR 
                    CONTINUED DEPLOYMENT ON THE GROUND OF ARMED FORCES 
                    IN THE TERRITORY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BOSNIA AND 
                    HERZEGOVINA.

  (a) Prohibition.--None of the funds appropriated or otherwise 
available to the Department of Defense may be obligated or 
expended for the deployment on the ground of United States 
Armed Forces in the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and 
Herzegovina after December 31, 1997, in connection with 
peacekeeping operations conducted by the Implementation Force, 
the Stabilization Force, or any successor force.
  (b) Exception To Ensure Safe and Timely Withdrawal.--The 
prohibition contained in subsection (a) shall not apply with 
respect to the deployment of United States Armed Forces for the 
express purpose of ensuring the safe and timely withdrawal of 
such Armed Forces from the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
but such a deployment may not extend for a period of more than 
30 days beyond the date specified in subsection (a) (or the 
date otherwise applicable to the limitation under that 
subsection by reason of an extension of that date pursuant to 
subsection (c)).
  (c) Extension of Required Withdrawal Date.--The date 
specified in subsection (a) for the applicability of the 
limitation under that subsection may be extended by the 
President for an additional 180 days if--
          (1) the President transmits to the Congress a report 
        containing a request for such an extension; and
          (2) a joint resolution is enacted, in accordance with 
        section 1304, specifically approving such request.

SEC. 1304. CONGRESSIONAL CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY PRESIDENT FOR 180-
                    DAY EXTENSION OF DEPLOYMENT.

  (a) Terms of the Resolution.--For purposes of section 1303,

(a) shall be decided without debate.

House of Representatives.--(1) If, before the passage by the 
Senate of a resolution of the Senate described in subsection 
(a), the Senate receives from the House of Representatives a 
resolution described in subsection (a), then the following 
procedures shall apply:
          (A) The resolution of the House of Representatives

                the House of Representatives; but
                  (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on 
                the resolution of the House of Representatives.

House of Representatives, it shall no longer be in order to 
consider the resolution that originated in the Senate.

        Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and 
        as such it is deemed a part of the rules of each House, 
        respectively, but applicable only with respect to the 
        procedure to be followed in that House in the case of a 
        resolution described in subsection (a), and it 
        supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is 
        inconsistent with such rules; and
          (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right 
        of either House to change the rules (so far as relating 
        to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the 
        same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of 
        any other rule of that House.

                territory allocated to the other Bosnian Entity 
                under the Dayton Peace Agreement; or

        dependents of Persian Gulf veterans) who should be 
        covered by the plan;
          (2) consider the need and methods available to 
        provide health care services to Persian Gulf veterans 
        who are no longer on active duty in the Armed Forces, 
        such as Persian Gulf veterans who are members of the

Defense determines that the use of written notice is 
impractical because of the number of members receiving the 
investigational new drug, time constraints, or similar reasons. 
If the Secretary provides notice under subsection (a)(1) in a 
form other than in writing, the Secretary shall submit to 
Congress a report describing the notification method used and

  Not later than March 1, 1998, the Secretary of Defense shall 
submit to Congress a report evaluating the effectiveness of 
medical research initiatives regarding Gulf War illnesses. The 
report shall address the following:
          (1) The type and effectiveness of previous research 
        efforts, including the activities undertaken pursuant 
        to section 743 of the National Defense Authorization 
        Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201; 10 U.S.C. 
        1074 note), section 722 of the National Defense

        337; 10 U.S.C. 1074 note), and sections 270 and 271 of 
        the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
        1994 (Public Law 103-160; 110 Stat. 1613).
          (2) Recommendations regarding additional research 
        regarding Gulf War illnesses, including research 
        regarding the nature and causes of Gulf Warillnesses 
and appropriate treatments for such illnesses.
          (3) The adequacy of Federal funding and the need for 
        additional funding for medical research initiatives 
        regarding Gulf War illnesses.

SEC. 759. PERSIAN GULF ILLNESS CLINICAL TRIALS PROGRAM.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) There are many ongoing studies that investigate 
        risk factors which may be associated with the health 
        problems experienced by Persian Gulf veterans; however, 
        there have been no studies which examine health 
        outcomes and the effectiveness of the treatment 
        received by such veterans.
          (2) The medical literature and testimony presented in 
        hearings on Gulf War illnesses indicate there are 
        therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, which 
        have been effective in treating patients with symptoms 
        similar to those seen in many Persian Gulf veterans.
  (b) Establishment of Program.--The Secretary of Defense and 
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, acting jointly, shall 
establish a program of cooperative clinical trials at multiple 
sites to assess the effectiveness of protocols for treating 
Persian Gulf veterans who suffer from ill-defined or 
undiagnosed conditions. Such protocols shall include a 
multidisciplinary treatment model, of which cognitive 
behavioral therapy is a component.
  (c) Funding.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated in 
section 201(1) for research, development, test, and evaluation 
for the Army, the sum of $4,500,000 shall be available for 
program element 62787A (medical technology) in the budget of 
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1998 to carry out the 
clinical trials program established pursuant to subsection (b).

          (1) the importance of such industries to the national 
        defense and the defense mobilization base; and
          (2) whether such industries are in danger of being 
        critically weakened because of the removal of tariffs 
        on imports under the Information Technology Agreement.
                              ----------

 4. The Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Bereuter of Nebraska 
         or a Designee, Debatable for Not To Exceed 10 Minutes.

  Page 379, after line 19, add the following:

SEC. 1205. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS RELATING TO LEVEL OF UNITED STATES 
                    MILITARY PERSONNEL IN THE ASIA AND PACIFIC REGION.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
          (1) The stability of the Asia-Pacific region is a 
        matter of vital national interest affecting the well-
        being of all Americans.
          (2) The nations of the Pacific Rim collectively 
        represent the United States largest trading partner and 
        are expected to account for almost one-third of the 
        world's economic activity by the start of the next 
        century.
          (3) The increased reliance by the United States on 
        trade and Middle East oil sources has reinforced United 
        States security interests in the Southeast Asia 
        shipping lanes through the South China Sea and the key 
        straits of Malacca, Sunda, Lombok, and Makassar.
          (4) The South China Sea is a vital conduit for United 
        States Navy ships passing from the Pacific to the 
        Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
          (5) Maintaining freedom of navigation in the South 
        China Sea is a fundamental interest of the United 
        States.
          (6) The threats of proliferation of weapons of mass 
        destruction, the emerging nationalism amidst long-
        standing ethnic and national rivalries, and the 
        unresolved territorial disputes combine to create a 
        political landscape of potential instability and 
        conflict that would jeopardize the interests of the 
        United States and the safety of United States nationals 
        in this region.
          (7) A critical component of the East Asia strategy of 
        the United States is maintaining forward deployed 
        forces in Asia to ensure broad regional stability, to 
        help to deter aggression, and to contribute to the 
        political and economic advances of the region from 
        which the United States benefits.
          (8) The forward presence of the United States in 
        Northeast Asia enables the United States to respond to 
        regional contingencies, to protect sea lines of 
        communication, to sustain influence, and to support 
        operations as distant as operations in the Persian 
        Gulf.
          (9) The military forces of the United States serve to 
        prevent the political or economic control of the Asia-
        Pacific region by a rival, hostile power or coalition 
        of such powers, thus preventing any such group from 
        having command over the vast resources, enormous 
        wealth, and advanced technology of the region.
          (10) Allies of the United States in the region can 
        base their defense planning on a reliable American 
        security commitment, a reduction of which could 
        stimulate an arms buildup in the region.
          (11) The Joint Announcement of the United States-
        Japan Security Consultative Committee of December 1996, 
        acknowledged that ``the forward presence of U.S. forces 
        continues to be an essential element for pursuing our 
        common security objectives''.
          (12) The administration has committed itself on 
        numerous occasions to maintain approximately 100,000 
        troops in the region, most recently by the President in 
        Australia and the Secretary of State in the Republic of 
        Korea.
          (13) The United States and Japan signed the United 
        States-Japan Security Declaration in April 1996, in 
        which the United States reaffirmed its commitment to 
        maintain this level of 100,000 United States military 
        personnel in the region.
          (14) The United States military presence is warmly 
        and widely welcomed by the nations of the region as 
        serving stability and signaling United States 
        engagement.
          (15) The nations of East Asia and the Pacific 
        consider the commitment of the forces of the United 
        States to be so vital to their future that they 
        scrutinize actions of the United States for any sign of 
        weakened commitment to the security of the region.
          (16) The reduction of forward-based military forces 
        could negatively affect the ability of the United 
        States to contribute to the peace and stability of the 
        Asia and Pacific region.
          (17) Recognizing that while the United States must 
        consider the overall capabilities of its forces in its 
        decisions to deploy troops, nevertheless any reduction 
        in the number of forward-based troops reduces the 
        perception of American capability and commitment in the 
        region that cannot be completely offset by 
        modernization of the remaining forces.
          (18) During time of crisis, redeployment of forces 
        previously removed from the area might itself be deemed 
        an act of provocation that could be used as a pretext 
        by a hostile power for armed aggression within the 
        region, and the existence of that possibility might 
        hinder this redeployment.
          (19) Proposals to reduce the forward presence of the 
        United States in Asia or drastically subordinate 
        security interests to United States domestic budgetary 
        concerns immediately erode the perception of the 
        commitment of the United States to its alliances and 
        interests in the region.
  (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that the United States should maintain approximately 100,000 
United States military personnel in the Asia and Pacific region 
until such time as there is a peaceful and permanent resolution 
to the major security and political conflicts in the region.
                              ----------

    It is the sense of Congress that United States Armed Forces 
should not be deployed outside the United States to provide 
assistance to another nation in connection with environmental 
preservation activities in that nation.

        ``designated by the Secretary of Defense for the 
        purposes of this section'' and inserting in lieu 
        thereof ``designated for purposes of this section in

          (3) in subsection (c)(3), by striking out

          (4) by adding at the end the following new

        the United States.
          (2) It was known to United States intelligence and

        and allied veterans who served in the Southwest Asia 
        theater of operations have been stricken with a variety 
        of severe illnesses.

        an integrated natural resources management plan for 
        each military installation in the United States under 
        the jurisdiction of the Secretary, unless the Secretary 
        determines that the absence of significant natural 
        resources on a particular installation makes 
        preparation of such a plan inappropriate.

        military department shall prepare the integrated 
        natural resources management plans for which the
