        component in Operation Enduring Freedom and in the 
        homeland defense mission beginning on September 11, 
        2001. The aircraft carriers that have participated in 
        Operation Enduring Freedom, as of May 1, 2002, are the 
        USS Enterprise (CVN-65), the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), 
        the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), the USS Theodore Roosevelt 
        (CVN-71), the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74), and the USS 
        John F. Kennedy (CV-67). The aircraft carriers that 
        have participated in the homeland defense mission are 
        the USS George Washington (CVN-73), the USS John F. 
        Kennedy (CV-67), and the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74).
          (2) Since 1945, the United States has built 172 bases 
        overseas, of which only 24 are currently in use.
          (3) The aircraft carrier provides an independent base 
        of operations should no land base be available for 
        aircraft.
          (4) The aircraft carrier is an essential component of 
        the Navy.
          (5) Both the F/A-18E/F aircraft program and the Joint 
        Strike Fighter aircraft program are proceeding on 
        schedule for deployment on aircraft carriers.
          (6) As established by the Navy, the United States 
        requires the service of 15 aircraft carriers to 
        completely fulfill all the naval commitments assigned 
        to it without gapping carrier presence.
          (7) The Navy requires, at a minimum, at least 12 
        carriers to accomplish its current missions.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
number of aircraft carriers of the Navy in active service 
should not be less than 12.
  (c) Commendation of Crews.--Congress hereby commends the 
crews of the aircraft carriers that have participated in 
Operation Enduring Freedom and the homeland defense mission.

Subtitle C--Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Health 
                           Resources Sharing

SEC. 721. SHORT TITLE.

  This subtitle may be cited as the ``Department of Defense-
Department of Veterans Affairs Health Resources Sharing and 
Performance Improvement Act of 2002''.

SEC. 722. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING STATUS OF HEALTH 
                    RESOURCES SHARING BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF 
                    VETERANS AFFAIRS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Federal health care resources are scarce and thus 
        should be effectively and efficiently used.
          (2) In 1982, Congress, in Public Law 97-174, 
        authorized the sharing of health resources between 
        Department of Defense medical treatment facilities and 
        Department of Veterans Affairs health care facilities 
        in order to allow more effective and efficient use of 
        those health resources.
          (3) Health care beneficiaries of the Departments of 
        Defense and Veterans Affairs, whether active 
        servicemembers, veterans, retirees, or family members 
        of active or retired servicemembers, should have full 
        access to the health care and services that Congress 
        has authorized for them.
          (4) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
        Veterans Affairs, and the appropriate officials of each 
        of the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs with 
        responsibilities related to health care, have not taken 
        full advantage of the opportunities provided by law to 
        make their respective health resources available to 
        health care beneficiaries of the other Department in 
        order to provide improved health care for the whole 
        number of beneficiaries.
          (5) After the many years of support and encouragement 
        from Congress, the Departments have made little 
        progress in health resource sharing and the intended 
        results of the sharing authority have not been 
        achieved.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress urges the Secretary of 
Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs--
          (1) to commit their respective Departments to 
        significantly improve mutually beneficial sharing and 
        coordination of health care resources and services 
        during peace and war;
          (2) to build organizational cultures supportive of 
        improved sharing and coordination of health care 
        resources and services; and
          (3) to establish and achieve measurable goals to 
        facilitate increased sharing and coordination of health 
        care resources and services.
  (c) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act--
          (1) to authorize a program to advance mutually 
        beneficial sharing and coordination of health care 
        resources between the two Departments consistent with 
        the longstanding intent of Congress; and
          (2) to establish a basis for improved strategic 
        planning by the Department of Defense and Department of 
        Veterans Affairs health systems to ensure that scarce 
        health care resources are used more effectively and 
        efficiently in order to enhance access to high quality 
        health care for their respective beneficiaries.

SEC. 723. REVISED COORDINATION AND SHARING GUIDELINES.

efforts between and within the two Departments under this 
section and shall oversee implementation of those efforts.
  ``(4) The Committee shall submit to the two Secretaries and

the Committee considers appropriate. The two Secretaries shall

should be implemented in a modified form. Upon making such a 
determination, the Secretary making the determination shall

        Departments, with the goal of improving the access to, 
        and quality and cost effectiveness of, the health care

        Departments.
          ``(C) Identify and assess further opportunities for 
        the coordination and sharing of health care resources 
        between the Departments that, in the judgment of the 
        Committee, would not adversely affect the range of 
        services, the quality of care, or the established 
        priorities for care provided by either Department.
          ``(D) Review the plans of both Departments for the 
        acquisition of additional health care resources, 
        especially new facilities and major equipment and 
        technology, in order to assess the potential effect of 
        such plans on further opportunities for the 
        coordination and sharing of health care resources.
          ``(E) Review the implementation of activities 
        designed to promote the coordination and sharing of 
        health care resources between the Departments. To

        Departments, may task the Inspectors General of either 
        or both Departments.
  ``(d) Joint Incentives Program.--(1) Pursuant to subsection 
(b)(4), the two Secretaries shall carry out a program to 
identify, provide incentives to, implement,fund, and evaluate 
creative coordination and sharing initiatives at the facility,

by the Committee established in subsection (c), under procedures 
jointly prescribed by the two Secretaries.
  ``(2) To facilitate the incentive program, there is

resources to be shared.
  ``(D) Each such agreement shall provide, and shall specify 
procedures designed to ensure, that the availability of direct 
health care to individuals who are not primary beneficiaries of 
the providing Department is (i) on a referral basis from the 
facility or service region of the other Department, and (ii) 
does not (as determined by the head of the providing facility 
or region) adversely affect the range of services, the quality 
of care, or the established priorities for care provided to the
