    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 572, by a record vote of 8 to 3, report the 
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution 
be adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides a structured rule for consideration 
of H.R. 2647, the ``National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010.'' The resolution provides one hour of general 
debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Armed Services.
    The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution considers as an original bill 
for the purpose of amendment the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on Armed Services. The 
committee amendment shall be considered as read. The resolution 
waives all points of order against the committee amendment 
except those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI. This waiver 
does not affect the point of order available under clause 9 of 
rule XXI (regarding earmark disclosure).
    The resolution makes in order those amendments printed in 
this report and amendments en bloc. The amendments made in 
order may be offered only in the order printed in the report 
except that the amendments may be offered out of order provided 
the chair of the Committee on Armed Services announces from the 
floor a request to that effect, may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
a division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
the Whole.
    The resolution also permits the chair of the Committee on 
Armed Services or his designee to offer amendments en bloc if 
those amendments have been printed in this report and not 
earlier disposed of. The Chair of the Committee of the Whole 
may recognize for consideration any amendment printed in this 
report out of the order printed but not sooner than 30 minutes 
after the chair of the Committee on Armed Services announces 
from the floor a request to that effect. Proponents of 
amendments to be considered en bloc may submit a statement in 
the Congressional Record immediately prior to the disposition 
of the amendments en bloc. The resolution provides one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions. The resolution 
provides for two minute voting during consideration of H.R. 
2647.
    Finally, the resolution provides that, in the engrossment 
of H.R. 2647, the text of H.R. 2990, as passed the House, shall 
be added as new matter at the end of H.R. 2647. H.R. 2990 shall 
be laid on the table upon addition of its text of H.R. 2647.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill (except for those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule

 9. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Franks of Arizona, or 
                 His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  Page 57, line 18, strike section 224 and insert the following 
new section 224:

SEC. 224. POLICY ON BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM TO PROTECT THE 
                    UNITED STATES HOMELAND, ALLIES, AND FORWARD 
                    DEPLOYED FORCES.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) North Korea's nuclear program and its long, 
        medium, and short-range ballistic missiles represent a 
        near-term and increasing threat to the United States, 
        our forward-deployed troops and allies.
          (2) North Korea, in violation of United Nations 
        Security Council Resolutions 1695 and 1718, launched a 
        Taepodong-2 rocket on April 5, 2009, demonstrated a 
        multi-stage, long-range ballistic missile. This flight 
        demonstrated a more complete performance than 
        Pyongyang's July 2006 Taepodong-2 launch.
          (3) According to reports, the Taepodong-2 long-range 
        ballistic missile could currently threaten the west 
        coast of the United States and, according to estimates 
        by the United States intelligence community, when fully 
        developed could threaten the entire continental United 
        States.
          (4) North Korea has deployed the Musudan intermediate 
        range ballistic missile which can threaten Okinawa and 
        Guam, 200 Nodong missiles which can reach Japan, and 
        600 Scud missiles which threaten South Korea.
          (5) North Korea is a missile proliferator and has 
        shared ballistic missile technology with other weapons 
        proliferating nations such as Iran. It also aided Syria 
        with its nuclear program.
          (6) North Korea walked away from the Six-Party talks 
        and ordered United States and International Atomic 
        Energy Agency inspectors out of the country in April 
        2009.
          (7) On April 29, 2009, Pyongyang threatened to 
        conduct a nuclear test and launch an intercontinental 
        ballistic missile unless the United Nations Security 
        Council apologize and withdraw all resolutions.
          (8) Following through on its provocative threat, 
        North Korea conducted a nuclear test on May 25, 2009 in 
        violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 
        1718.
          (9) North Korea test-fired six shorter-range missiles 
        off the country's east coast following its nuclear test 
        on May 25, 2009.
          (10) On May 25, 2009, President Obama stated, ``North 
        Korea's nuclear ballistic missile programs pose a great 
        threat to the peace and security of the world and I 
        strongly condemn their reckless action. . . The record 
        is clear: North Korea has previously committed to 
        abandoning its nuclear program. Instead of following 
        through on that commitment it has chosen to ignore that 
        commitment. These actions have also flown in the face 
        of United Nations resolutions.''
          (11) North Korea's nuclear test and missile launches 
        demonstrate present international diplomatic efforts 
        are not sufficient to deter North Korea from 
        developing, deploying, and launching missiles or 
        developing nuclear technology. There has been no 
        progress toward engagement or complete and verifiable 
        denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
          (12) The pace and scope of North Korea's actions 
        demonstrate that it is intent on achieving a viable 
        nuclear weapons capability, long-range intercontinental 
        ballistic missile delivery capability, and recognition 
        as a nuclear weapons state.
          (13) In response to the unanimous passage of United 
        Nations Security Council Resolution 1874 on June 12, 
        2009, North Korea responded that it would not abandon 
        its nuclear programs and vowed to start enriching 
        uranium and weaponize all its plutonium.
          (14) Media reports indicate North Korea is warning of 
        a nuclear war. In addition, it may be preparing for 
        launch an intercontinental ballistic missile with the 
        range to reach the United States. Further reports, 
        citing U.S. defense officials, indicate U.S. satellite 
        photos show long-range ballistic missile activity at 
        two launch sites in North Korea.
          (15) On February 3, 2009, the Government of Iran 
        successfully launched its first satellite into orbit--
        an act in direct violation of United Nations Security 
        Council Resolution 1737.
          (16) General Maples, Director of the Defense 
        Intelligence Agency, recently said, ``Iran's February 
        3, 2009, launch of the Safir space launch vehicle shows 
        progress in mastering technology needed to produce 
        ICBMs.''
          (17) On April 5, 2009, President Barack Obama said, 
        ``So let me be clear: Iran's nuclear and ballistic 
        missile activity poses a real threat, not just to the 
        United States, but to Iran's neighbors and our 
        allies.''
          (18) On May 19, 2009, the Government of Iran test-
        fired a new two-stage, medium-range, solid fuel, 
        surface-to-surface missile, which can reach Europe, 
        Israel, and United States forces deployed in the 
        Persian Gulf Region.
          (19) According to the April 2009 Defense Intelligence 
        Agency report, ``Foreign Ballistic Missile 
        Capabilities'', ``[t]he threat posed by ballistic 
        missile delivery systems is likely to continue 
        increasing while growing more complex over the next 
        decade. Current trends indicate that adversary 
        ballistic missile system, with advanced liquid- or 
        solid-propellant propulsion systems, are becoming more 
        flexible, mobile, survivable, reliable and accurate 
        while also presenting longer ranges.''
          (20) According to the April 2009 Defense Intelligence 
        Agency report, ``Foreign Ballistic Missile 
        Capabilities'', ``Prelaunch survivability is also 
        likely to increase as potential adversaries strengthen 
        their denial and deception measures and increasingly 
        base their missiles on mobile sea- and land-based 
        platforms. Adversary nations are increasingly adopting 
        technical and operational countermeasures to defeat 
        missiles defenses. For example, China, Iran and North 
        Korea exercise near simultaneous salvo firings from 
        multiple locations to defeat these defenses.''
          (21) General Kevin Chilton, Commander of the United 
        States Strategic Command testified on March 19, 2009, 
        ``I think the approach for missile defense has been a 
        layered defense, as you've described, that looks at 
        opportunities to engage in the boost phase, in the mid-
        course, and then terminal.''
          (22) General B.B. Bell, Commander, U.S. Forces-Korea 
        testified in July 2007, ``Here in Korea, we have but 
        minutes to detect, acquire, engage and destroy inbound 
        theater ballistic missiles in the SCUD and No-Dong 
        class. We estimate that north Korea has around eight 
        hundred of these missiles in their operational 
        territory. Today, they are capable of carrying 
        conventional and chemical munitions. Intercepting these 
        missiles during their boost phase while over north 
        Korean territory would be a huge combat multiplier for 
        me. Therefore, I enthusiastically support the pursuit 
        of the unique combat capability provided by the ABL in 
        attacking missiles in their boost phase.''
  (b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to 
continue development and fielding of a comprehensive, layered 
missile defense system to protect the homeland of the United 
States, our forward-deployed forces, and allies against the 
near-term and increasing short, medium, and long-range 
ballistic missile threats posed by rogue nations such as North 
Korea. These missile defenses shall consist of national and 
theater missile defenses, but neither should come at the 
expense of the other. It shall also be the policy of the United 
States to continue developing systems designed to intercept 
missiles in the boost phase of flight in order to defend 
against developing sophisticated threats.
  (c) Elements in Discharge of the Policy.--The discharge of 
the policy stated in subsection (b) shall include the 
following:
          (1) Continued testing, fielding, sustainment, and 
        modernization of the ground-based midcourse defense 
        system, specifically--
                  (A) not less than 44 ground-based 
                interceptors at Fort Greely, Alaska and 
                Vandenberg Air Force Base, California;
                  (B) completion of missile field number two at 
                Fort Greely, Alaska;
                  (C) aging and surveillance;
                  (D) capability enhancement;
                  (E) modernization and obsolescence;
                  (F) operationally realistic testing; and
                  (G) viable production capability.
          (2) Continued development and testing of the Airborne 
        Laser Program
          (3) Continued technology maturation and demonstration 
        of the technologies associated with the Kinetic Energy 
        Interceptor
          (4) Continue technology maturation and demonstration 
        of the technologies associated with the Multiple Kill 
        Vehicle
          (5) Continued support for on-orbit experimentation of 
        the Space Tracking and Surveillance System 
        demonstration satellites, and concept development and 
        technology maturation for a follow-on capability.

                   Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of subtitle C of title XII of the bill, add the 
following new section:

SEC. 12XX. LIMITATION ON FUNDS TO IMPLEMENT REDUCTIONS IN THE STRATEGIC 
                    NUCLEAR FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES PURSUANT TO ANY 
                    TREATY OR OTHER AGREEMENT WITH THE RUSSIAN 
                    FEDERATION.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) In the Joint Statement by President Dmitriy 
        Medvedev of the Russian Federation and President Barack 
        Obama of the United States of America after their 
        meeting in London, England on April 1, 2009, the two 
        Presidents agreed ``to pursue new and verifiable 
        reductions in our strategic offensive arsenals in a 
        step-by-step process, beginning by replacing the 
        Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with a new, legally-
        binding treaty.''.
          (2) At that meeting, the two Presidents instructed 
        their negotiators to reach an agreement that ``will 
        mutually enhance the security of the Parties and 
        predictability and stability in strategic offensive 
        forces, and will include effective verification 
        measures drawn from the experience of the Parties in 
        implementing the START Treaty.''.
          (3) Subsequently, on April 5, 2009, in a speech in 
        Prague, the Czech Republic, President Obama proclaimed: 
        ``Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a 
        real threat, not just to the United States, but to 
        Iran's neighbors and our allies. The Czech Republic and 
        Poland have been courageous in agreeing to host a 
        defense against these missiles. As long as the threat 
        from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile 
        defense system that is cost-effective and proven.''.
          (4) President Obama also said: ``As long as these 
        [nuclear] weapons exist, the United States will 
        maintain a safe, secure and effective arsenal to deter 
        any adversary, and guarantee that defense to our 
        allies--including the Czech Republic. But we will begin 
        the work of reducing our arsenal.''.
  (b) Limitation.--Funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
Act or otherwise made available to the Department of Defense 
for fiscal year 2010 may be obligated or expended to implement 
reductions in the strategic nuclear forces of the United States 
pursuant to any treaty or other agreement entered into between 
the United States and the Russian Federation on strategic 
nuclear forces after the date of enactment of this Act only if 
the President certifies to Congress that--
          (1) the treaty or other agreement provides for 
        sufficient mechanisms to verify compliance with the 
        treaty or agreement;
          (2) the treaty or other agreement does not place 
        limitations on the ballistic missile defense systems, 
        space capabilities, or advanced conventional weapons of 
        the United States; and
          (3) the fiscal year 2011 budget request for programs 
        of the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security 
        Administration will be sufficiently funded to--
                  (A) maintain the reliability, safety, and 
                security of the remaining strategic nuclear 
                forces of the United States; and
                  (B) modernize and refurbish the nuclear 
                weapons complex.
  (c) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the President shall transmit to the 
congressional committees specified in subsection (d) a report 
on the stockpiles of strategic and non-strategic weapons of the 
United States and the Russian Federation.
  (d) Specified Congressional Committees.--The congressional 
committees specified in this subsection are the following:
          (1) The Committee on Armed Services and the Committee 
        on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives.
          (2) The Committee on Armed Services and the Committee 
        on Foreign Relations of the Senate.
  (e) Definition.--For the purposes of this section, the term 
``advanced conventional weapons'' means any advanced weapons 
system that has been specifically designed not to carry a 
nuclear payload.

commander of the special operations command, acting under 
authority provided by section 167(e)(4) of title 10, United 
States Code, may award a follow-on contract for the acquisition 
of an item to a contractor who previously provided such item 
if--

        peculiar equipment and not anticipated to be made 
        service common within 24 months of the initial 
        contract;
          (2) the item was previously acquired in the make, 
        model, and type--
                  (A) using competitive procedures;
                  (B) under the authority of other statutory 
                authority permitting noncompetitive or limited 
                competition procurement actions (such as 
                section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (15 
                U.S.C. 637(a)), section 31 of such Act (15

                service-disabled veterans)); or
                  (C) as a result of a competition among a 
                limited number of sources on the basis that the 
                disclosure of the need for the item would 
                compromise national security; and
          (3) the acquisition of the item by means other than a 
        follow-on contract with the contractor would unduly 
        delay the fielding of such item to forces preparing for 
        or participating in overseas contingency operations or 
        for other deployments undertaken in response to a 
        request from a combatant commander.
  (b) Limitations.--A contract awarded using the authority in 
subsection (a)--
          (1) may have a period of performance of not longer 
        than one year;
          (2) may be used only to acquire one or more items 
        having an individual unit price under $100,000; and
          (3) may have a total value not exceeding $25,000,000.
  (c) Notification.--Not later than 45 days after the use of 
the authority in subsection (a), the commander of the special 
operations command shall submit to the congressional defense 
committees a notification of the use of such authority.
  (d) Termination of Authority.--The commander of the special 
operations command may not use the authority in subsection (a) 
on and after October 1, 2013.

34. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Holt of New Jersey, or 
                 His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of subtitle E of title X (page 374, after line 6), 
insert the following new section:

SEC. 1055. REQUIREMENT FOR VIDEOTAPING OR OTHERWISE ELECTRONICALLY 
                    RECORDING STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE INTERROGATIONS OF 
                    PERSONS IN THE CUSTODY OF OR UNDER THE EFFECTIVE 
                    CONTROL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) In January 2009, the Secretary of Defense tasked 
        a special Department of Defense team to review the 
        conditions of confinement at Naval Station, Guantanamo 
        Bay, Cuba, to ensure all detainees there are being held 
        ``in conformity with all applicable laws governing the 
        conditions of confinement, including Common Article 3 
        of the Geneva Conventions'', pursuant to the 
        President's Executive Order on Review and Disposition 
        of Individuals Detained at the Guantanamo Bay Naval 
        Base and Closure of Detention Facilities, dated January 
        22, 2009.
          (2) That review, led by Admiral Patrick M. Walsh, 
        included as one of its five key recommendations the 
        following statement: ``Fourth, we endorse the use of 
        video recording in all camps and for all 
        interrogations. The use of video recordings to confirm 
        humane treatment could be an important enabler for 
        detainee operations. Just as internal controls provide 
        standardization, the use of video recordings provides 
        the capability to monitor performance and maintain 
        accountability.''.
          (3) Congress concurs and finds that the 
        implementation of such a detainee videorecording 
        requirement within the Department of Defense is in the 
        national security interest of the United States.
  (b) In General.--In accordance with the Army Field Manual on 
Human Intelligence Collector Operations (FM 2-22.3, September 
2006), or any successor thereto, and the guidelines developed 
pursuant to subsection (f), the Secretary of Defense shall take 
such actions as are necessary to ensure the videotaping or 
otherwise electronically recording of each strategic 
intelligence interrogation of any person who is in the custody 
or under the effective control of the Department of Defense or 
under detention in a Department of Defense facility.
  (c) Classification of Information.--To protect United States 
national security, the safety of the individuals conducting or 
assisting in the conduct of a strategic intelligence 
interrogation, and the privacy of persons described in 
subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall provide for the 
appropriate classification of video tapes or other electronic 
recordings made pursuant to subsection (b). The use of such 
classified video tapes or other electronic recordings in 
proceedings conducted under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 
(title 14 of Public Law 109-163 and title 10 of Public Law 109-
148), the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (10 U.S.C. 948 et 
seq.; Public Law 109-366), or any other provision of law shall 
be governed by applicable rules, regulations, and law.
  (d) Strategic Intelligence Interrogation Defined.--For 
purposes of this section, the term ``strategic intelligence 
interrogation'' means an interrogation of a person described in 
subsection (b) conducted at a theater-level detention facility.
  (e) Exclusion.--Nothing in this section shall be construed as 
requiring--
          (1) any member of the Armed Forces engaged in direct 
        combat operations to videotape or otherwise 
        electronically record a person described in subsection 
        (b); or
          (2) the videotaping or other electronic recording of 
        tactical questioning, as such term is defined in the 
        Army Field Manual on Human Intelligence Collector 
        Operations (FM 2-22.3, September 2006), or any 
        successor thereto.
  (f) Guidelines for Videotape and Other Electronic 
Recordings.--
          (1) Development of guidelines.--The Secretary of 
        Defense, acting through the Judge Advocates General (as 
        defined in section 801(1) of title 10, United States 
        Code, (Article 1 of the Uniform Code of Military 
        Justice)), shall develop and adopt uniform guidelines 
        designed to ensure that the videotaping or other 
        electronic recording required under subsection (b), at 
        a minimum--
                  (A) promotes full compliance with the laws of 
                the United States;
                  (B) is maintained for a length of time that 
                serves the interests of justice in cases for 
                which trials are being or may be conducted 
                pursuant to the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 
                (title 14 of Public Law 109-163 and title 10 of 
                Public Law 109-148), the Military Commissions 
                Act of 2006 (10 U.S.C. 948 et seq.; Public Law 
                109-366), or any other provision of law;
                  (C) promotes the exploitation of 
                intelligence; and
                  (D) ensures the safety of all participants in 
                the interrogations.
          (2) Submittal to congress.--Not later than 30 days 
        after the date of the enactment of this section, the 
        Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on 
        Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
        Representatives a report containing the guidelines 
        developed under paragraph (1). Such report shall be in 
        an unclassified form but may include a classified 
        annex.

               or His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of subtitle F of title V (page 155, after line 4), 
add the following new section:

SEC. 563. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE RECOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF 
                    MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES WHO WERE KILLED DURING 
                    WORLD WAR II IN THE BATTLE OF TARAWA ATOLL.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) On November 20, 1943, units of the United States 
        Marine Corps, supported by units of the United States 
        Army and warships and aircraft of the United States 
        Navy, conducted an amphibious landing on the Island of 
        Betio, Tarawa Atoll, in the Gilbert Islands in the 
        Pacific Ocean.
          (2) The United States military forces faced an 
        entrenched force of 5,000 Japanese soldiers.
          (3) The Tarawa landing was the first American 
        amphibious assault on a fortified beachhead in World 
        War II.
          (4) Just 76 hours later, the American flag was raised 
        at Tarawa.
          (5) More than 1,100 Marines and other members of the 
        Armed Forces were killed during the battle.
          (6) Most of the Marines, soldiers, and sailors who 
        were killed during the battle were buried in hastily 
        dug graves and cemeteries on Tarawa.
          (7) Between 1943 and 1946, the remains of some of the 
        Marines and other members of the Armed Forces were 
        disinterred and reinterred in temporary graves by the 
        Navy.
          (8) After World War II, the remains of some of these 
        Marines and other members of the Armed Forces were 
        recovered and returned to the United States for burial.
          (9) Due to mistakes in reinterment, poor records, as 
        well as other causes, the remains of 564 Marines and 
        other members of the Armed Forces killed in the battle 
        of Tarawa are in unmarked, unknown graves.
          (10) Since 1980, the Department of Defense has 
        recovered remains from some unmarked graves that have 
        been found through construction or other activity on 
        Tarawa.
          (11) The remains of members of the Armed Forces on 
        Tarawa continue to be threatened by construction or 
        other land disturbing activity.
          (12) Recent research has shed new light on the 
        locations of unmarked and lost graves of members of the 
        Armed Forces on Tarawa.
          (13) It is the responsibility of the Federal 
        Government to return to the United States for proper 
        burial and respect all members of the Armed Forces 
        killed at Tarawa who lie in unmarked and lost graves.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of these findings, 
Congress--
          (1) reaffirms its support for the recovery and return 
        to the United States of the remains of members of the 
        Armed Forces killed in battle, and for the efforts by 
        the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command to recover the 
        remains of members of the Armed Forces from all wars;
          (2) recognizes the courage and sacrifice of the 
        members of the Armed Forces who fought on Tarawa;
          (3) acknowledges the dedicated research and efforts 
        by persons to identify, locate, and advocate for the 
        recovery of remains from Tarawa; and
          (4) encourages the Department of Defense to review 
        this research and, as appropriate, pursue new efforts 
        to conduct field studies, new research, and undertake 
        all feasible efforts to recover, identify, and return 
        remains of members of the Armed Forces from Tarawa.

Centerville Beach Naval Facility in the City of Ferndale, 
California, the Secretary of the Navy may convey, at fair 
market value, to the City of Ferndale (in this section referred

United States in and to the parcels of real property, including 
improvements thereon, for the purpose of permitting the City to 
utilize the property for low- and moderate-income housing for

SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS REAFFIRMING THE REQUIREMENT TO THOROUGHLY 
                    CONSIDER THE ROLE OF BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSES 
                    DURING THE QUADRENNIAL DEFENSE REVIEW AND THE 
                    NUCLEAR POSTURE REVIEW.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Congress passed and the President signed the 
        National Missile Defense Act of 1999 (Public Law: 106-
        38), which stated: ``It is the policy of the United 
        States to deploy as soon as is technologically possible 
        an effective National Missile Defense system capable of 
        defending the territory of the United States against 
        limited ballistic missile attack (whether accidental, 
        unauthorized, or deliberate).''
          (2) Section 118 of title 10, United States Code 
        requires the Secretary of Defense ``every four years, 
        during a year following a year evenly divisible by 
        four, to conduct a comprehensive examination (to be 
        known as a''Quadrennial Defense Review``) of the 
        national defense strategy, force structure, force 
        modernization plans, infrastructure, budget plan, and 
        other elements of the defense program and policies of 
        the United States with a view toward determining and 
        expressing the defense strategy of the United States 
        and establishing a defense program for the next 20 
        years.''
          (3) Among the requirements established by section 118 
        of title 10, United States Code, for the elements that 
        must be included in the Quadrennial Defense Review are 
        the following:
                  (A) The threats to the assumed or defined 
                national security interests of the United 
                States that were examined for the purposes of 
                the review and the scenarios developed in the 
                examination of those threats.
                  (B) The specific capabilities, including the 
                general number and type of specific military 
                platforms, needed to achieve the strategic and 
                warfighting objectives identified in the 
                review.
                  (C) The effect on force structure of the use 
                by the armed forces of technologies anticipated 
                to be available for the ensuing 20 years.
          (4) Section 1070 of the National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-
        116) requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
        comprehensive review of the nuclear posture of the 
        United States for the next 5 to 10 years ``in order to 
        clarify United States nuclear deterrence policy and 
        strategy for the near term.''
          (5) Among the requirements established by section 
        1070 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 2008 for the elements that must be included 
        in the nuclear posture review is ``[t]he role that 
        missile defense capabilities and conventional strike 
        forces play in determining the role and size of nuclear 
        forces.''
          (6) The Final Report of the Congressional Commission 
        on the Strategic Posture of the United States, issued 
        on May 7, 2009, concluded: ``Missile defenses can play 
        a useful role in supporting the basic objectives of 
        deterrence, broadly defined. Defenses that are 
        effective against regional aggressors are a valuable 
        component of the U.S. strategic posture. The United 
        States should develop and, where appropriate, deploy 
        missile defenses against regional nuclear aggressors, 
        including against limited long-range threats. These can 
        also be beneficial for limiting damage if deterrence 
        fails. The United States should ensure that its actions 
        do not lead Russia or China to take actions that 
        increase the threat to the United States and its allies 
        and friends.''
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of Defense should thoroughly consider the role of 
ballistic missile defenses during the Quadrennial Defense 
Review and the Nuclear Posture Review.
                              ----------

        self-caused harm is referred to the nearest military 
        medical treatment facility or accredited TRICARE 
        provider for immediate evaluation and treatment by a 
        qualified mental health care provider.
          (3) If a covered member is identified under paragraph
