adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 4200, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, under 
a structured rule. The rule provides two hours of general 
debate equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed Services. The 
rule waives all points of order against consideration of the 
bill.
    The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on Armed Services now 
printed in the bill shall be considered as an original bill for 
the purpose of amendment and shall be considered as read. The 
rule waives all points of order against the amendment in the 
nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Armed 
Services.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
this report and amendments en bloc described in section 3 of 
the resolution. The rule provides that amendments shall be 
considered only in the order specified in this report (except 
as specified in section 4 of the resolution), may be offered 
only by a Member designated in this report, shall be debatable 
for 10 minutes (unless otherwise specified in this report) 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent, shall not be subject to amendment (except that the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed 
Services each may offer one pro forma amendment for the purpose 
of further debate on any pending amendment), shall be 
considered as read, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
the Whole. The rule waives all points of order against the 
amendments printed in this report and those amendments en bloc 
as described in section 3 of the resolution.
    The rule authorizes the Chairman of the Committee on Armed 
Services or his designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting 
of amendments printed in this report not earlier disposed of, 
which shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for 20 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed Services or 
their designees, and shall not be subject to amendment or 
demand for a division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. The rule provides that the original 
proponent of an amendment included in such amendments en bloc 
may insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately 
before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
    The rule allows the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole 
to recognize for consideration of any amendment printed in this 
report out of the order printed, but not sooner than one hour 
after the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services or a 
designee announces from the floor a request to that effect.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE ABUSE OF PERSONS IN CUSTODY 
                    IN IRAQ.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the abuses inflicted upon detainees at the Abu 
        Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq, are offensive to the 
        principles and values of the American people and the 
        United States military, are incompatible with the 
        professionalism, dedication, standards and training 
        required of individuals who serve in the United States 
        military, and contradict the policies, orders, and laws 
        of the United States and the United States military and 
        undermine the ability of the United States military to 
        achieve its mission in Iraq.
          (2) the vast majority of members of the Armed Forces 
        have upheld the highest possible standards of 
        professionalism and morality in the face of illegal 
        tactics and terrorist attacks and attempts on their 
        lives.
          (3) the abuse of persons in United States custody in 
        Iraq is appropriately condemned and deplored by the 
        American people;
          (4) the Armed Forces are moving swiftly and 
        decisively to identify, try, and punish persons who 
        were responsible or culpable for such abuse;
          (5) the Secretary of the Army must continue to 
        conduct a full and thorough investigation into any and 
        all allegations of mistreatment or abuse of detainees 
        in Iraq;
          (6) the Secretary of the Army and appropriate 
        military authorities must continue to undertake 
        corrective action to address chain of command 
        deficiencies and the systemic deficiencies identified 
        in the incidents in question;
          (7) the American principle and tradition of affording 
        proper and humane treatment to persons under the 
        custody of the United States Armed Forces must be 
        reaffirmed;
          (8) the alleged crimes of a handful of individuals 
        should not detract from the commendable sacrifices of 
        over 300,000 members of the United States Armed Forces 
        who have served, or who are serving, in Operation Iraqi 
        Freedom; and
          (9) the United States expresses its continuing 
        solidarity and support for its partnership with the 
        Iraqi people in building a viable Iraqi government and 
        a secure nation.

SEC. 12__. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DESTRUCTION OF ABU GHRAIB PRISON IN 
                    IRAQ.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Under the regime of Saddam Hussein, the Abu 
        Ghraib prison in Iraq was one of the world's most 
        notorious prisons.
          (2) Under that regime, as many as 50,000 men and 
        women were jammed into the prison at one time in 12 
        feet by 12 feet cells.
          (3) Under that regime, many people were tortured and 
        executed in the Abu Ghraib prison.
          (4) Recent activities have further highlighted the 
        horrible memories that Abu Ghraib stands for.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the Secretary of Defense should assist the Iraqi Government, 
with the approval of that government, in destroying the Abu 
Ghraib prison and replacing it with a modern detention 
facility.

        United States citizens, military personnel, or assets,

        reasonably assumed to escalate into a significant 
        adverse incident described in paragraph (1).

Secretary of Defense shall establish a policy for the 
transmission from any element of the Department of Defense as 
expeditiously as possible to the Secretary of Defense and the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff of any report, assessment, or evaluation 
commissioned from any level within the Department of Defense 
that results in the identification of any of the items on the 
list required by subsection (a). As part of that policy, the 
Secretary should establish a timetable for transmission of any 
such report, assessment, or evaluation to the responsible major 
command upon receipt of the final document by the commissioning 
authority.
  (d) Time for Issuance of Guidance.--The Secretary of Defense 
shall establish the list required by subsection (a) and issue 
the guidance required by that subsection not later than 90 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act.

availability and effectiveness of existing mental health 
treatment and screening resources--
          (1) for members of the Armed Forces during a 
        deployment to a combat theater;
          (2) for members of the Armed Forces returning from a 
        deployment to a combat theater, both--
                  (A) in the short-term, post-deployment 
                period; and
                  (B) in the long-term, following the post-
                deployment period;

assessment of existing obstacles that prevent members of the 
Armed Forces and military families in need of mental health 
services from obtaining these services, including--
          (1) the extent to which existing confidentiality 
        regulations, or lack thereof, inhibit members of the 
        Armed Forces from seeking mental health treatment;

        health services can have on a military career;
          (3) the extent to which a social stigma exists within

        Forces and military families from seeking mental health 
        treatment within the Department of Defense and the 
        individual Armed Forces;
          (4) the extent to which logistical obstacles, 
        particularly with respect to members of the Armed 
        Forces and families residing in rural areas, deter 
        members in need of mental health services from 
        obtaining them; and
          (5) the extent to which members of the Armed Forces 
        and their families are prevented or hampered from 
        obtaining mental health treatment due to the cost of 
        such services.
  (d) Identification of Problems Unique to Reserves.--The study 
shall identify potential problems in obtaining mental health 
treatment that are unique to members of Reserve components.
  (e) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
Congress a report on the study conducted under this section not

        Defense to the persons listed in subsection (b), 
        including recommendations to ensure appropriate 
        referrals and a seamless transition to the care of the 
        Department of Veterans Affairs following separation 
        from the Armed Forces;
          (2) for removing or mitigating any obstacles 
        identified under subsection (c); and
          (3) for steps that can be taken by the Department of 
        Defense or Congress to bring parity to mental health 
        services available to members of Reserve components and 
        members of the Armed Forces on active duty.
