restoration program sites and munitions response sites.
(2) The installation response program addresses
contamination from hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants and active military installations,
formerly used defense site properties, and base
realignment and closure locations in the United States.
(3) Munitions response sites are known or suspected
to contain unexploded ordnance, discarded military
munitions, or munitions constitutes are addressed
through the military munitions response program.
(4) The installation restoration program sites and
munitions response sites have had significant impacts
on state and local governments that have had to bear
the increased costs of environmental degradation,
notably groundwater contamination, and local
populations that have had to live with the consequences
of contaminated drinking, including increased health
concerns and decreasing property values.
(5) Through the end of fiscal year 2017, the
Department of Defense had achieved response complete at
86 percent of installation restoration program sites
and munitions response sites, but projects that it will
fall short of meeting its goal of 90 percent by the end
of fiscal year 2018.
(6) The fiscal year 2019 budget request for
environmental restoration and base realignment and
closure amounted to nearly $1,318,320,000, a decrease
of $53,429,000 from the amount authorized in the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018
(Public Law 115-91).
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the environmental restoration and base
realignment and closure programs are important for the
protection of the environment, the health of the
military and civilian personnel and their families who
live and work on military installations, to ensure that
current and legacy military operations do not adversely
affect the health or environments of surrounding
communities;
(2) the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces
should seek to reduce the financial burden on state and
local government who are bearing significant costs of
cleanup stemming from defense related activities;
(3) the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces
should expedite and streamline cleanup at locations
where contamination is having a direct impact on
civilian access to clean drinking water;
(4) the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces
should continue to engage with and help allay local
community concerns about the safety of the drinking
water due to environmental degradation caused by
defense related activities; and
(5) the Department of Defense should seek
opportunities to accelerate environmental restoration
efforts where feasible, to include programming
additional resources for response actions, investing in
technology solutions that may expedite response
actions, improving contracting procedures, increasing
contracting capacity, and seeking opportunities for
partnerships and other cooperative approaches.

SEC. 334. SURFACE WARFARE TRAINING IMPROVEMENT.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 2017, there were three collisions and one
grounding involving United States Navy ships in the
Western Pacific. The two most recent mishaps involved
separate incidents of a Japan-based United States Navy
destroyer colliding with a commercial merchant vessel,
resulting in the combined loss of 17 sailors.
(2) The causal factors in these four mishaps are
linked directly to a failure to take sufficient action
in accordance with the rules of good seamanship.
(3) Because risks are high in the maritime
environment, there are widely accepted standards for
safe seamanship and navigation. In the United States,
the International Convention on Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping (hereinafter in this
section referred to as the ``STCW'') for Seafarers,
standardizes the skills and foundational knowledge a
maritime professional must have in seamanship and
navigation.
(4) Section 568 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328; 130 Stat. 2139) endorsed the STCW process and
required the Secretary of Defense to maximize the
extent to which Armed Forces service, training, and
qualifications are creditable toward meeting merchant
mariner licenses and certifications.
(5) The Surface Warfare Officer Course Curriculum
is being modified to include ten individual Go/No Go
Mariner Assessments/Competency Check Milestones to
ensure standardization and quality of the surface
warfare community.
(6) The Military-to-Mariner Transition report of
September 2017 notes the Army maintains an extensive
STCW qualifications program and that a similar Navy
program does not exist.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of the Navy should establish a
comprehensive individual proficiency assessment process
and include such an assessment prior to all operational
surface warfare officer tour assignments; and
(2) the Secretary of the Navy should significantly
expand the STCW qualifications process to improve
seamanship and navigation individual skills training
for surface warfare candidates, surface warfare
officers, quartermasters and operations specialists to
include an increased set of courses that directly
correspond to STCW standards.
(c) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2019, the Secretary of
the Navy shall submit to the congressional defense committees a
report that includes each of the following:
(1) A detailed description of the surface warfare
officer assessments process.
(2) A list of programs that have been approved for
credit toward merchant mariner credentials.
(3) A complete gap analysis of the existing surface
warfare training curriculum and STCW.

of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or 20 percent of
the value of the prime contract, whichever is higher,
provided--
(A) the information included in rating the
subcontractor is not inconsistent with the
information included in the rating for the
prime contractor;
(B) the subcontractor evaluation is
conducted consistent with the provisions of
section 42.15 of the Federal Acquisition
Regulation;
(C) negative evaluations of a subcontractor
in no way obviate the prime contractor's
responsibility for successful completion of the
contract and management of its subcontractors;

officer, the overall execution of the work is
impacted by the performance of the
subcontractor or subcontractors.

government-wide evaluation reporting tool, of
individual partners of joint venture-awarded
construction and architect-engineer contracts valued at
the threshold set forth in section 42.1502(e) of the
Federal Acquisition Regulation, to ensure that past
performance on joint venture projects is considered in
future awards to individual joint venture partners,
provided--
(A) at a minimum, the rating for joint
ventures includes an identification that allows
the evaluation to be retrieved for each partner
of the joint venture;

venture, is given the same opportunity to
submit comments, rebutting statements, or
additional information, consistent with the
provisions of section 42.15 of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation; and

responsibilities of joint venture partners for
discrete elements of the work where the
partners are not jointly and severally
responsible for the project.
(3) Processes to request exceptions from the annual
evaluation requirement under section 42.1502(a) of the
Federal Acquisition Regulation for construction and
architect-engineer contracts where submission of the
annual evaluations would not provide the best
representation of the performance of a contractor,
including subcontractors and joint venture partners,
including--
(A) where no severable element of the work
has been completed;
(B) where the contracting officer
determines that--
(i) an insubstantial portion of the
contract work has been completed in the
preceding year; and
(ii) the lack of performance is at
no fault to the contractor; or
(C) where the contracting officer
determines that there is an issue in dispute
which, until resolved, would likely cause the
annual rating to inaccurately reflect the past
performance of the contractor.

SEC. 1673. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NUCLEAR POSTURE OF THE UNITED STATES.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) for more than 70 years the nuclear deterrent of
the United States has played, and will continue to
play, a central role in the national security of the
United States and international stability;
(2) strong, credible, and flexible nuclear forces
of the United States deter aggression by adversaries
and assure the allies of the United States that the
extended deterrence commitments of the United States
are steadfast;
(3) the 2017 National Security Strategy, the 2018
National Defense Strategy, and the 2018 Nuclear Posture
Review correctly assess changes in the security
environment related to interstate strategic competition
and recognize that the defense policies and posture of
the United States, including those related to nuclear
forces, must undergo measured adjustments;
(4) the United States remains committed to, and
will continue to honor, its full range of nuclear arms
control and nonproliferation treaty obligations and
seeks continued engagement for prudent and verifiable
agreements, however, the policies and actions of the
United States must also hold states that violate such
treaties accountable for such violations and take such
violations into account when considering further arms
control agreements;
(5) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
plays an essential role in the national security of the
United States and NATO should continue to strengthen
and align its nuclear and conventional deterrence
posture, planning, and exercises to align with modern
threats, including modernizing its dual-capable
aircraft, command and control networks, nuclear-related
facilities, and conventional capabilities;
(6) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review rightly states
that the United States requires reliable, diverse, and
tailorable nuclear forces capable of responding to a
variety of current threats while preparing for future
uncertainty and directs implementation of a
comprehensive nuclear modernization program at both the
Department of Defense and the National Nuclear Security
Administration; and
(7) the Department of Defense and the National
Nuclear Security Administration must integrate,
partner, and organize themselves to successfully
execute all aspects of the nuclear modernization
program, including those regarding nuclear forces,
warheads, infrastructure, command and control, and
personnel.

Subtitle A--Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE: FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK REVIEW MODERNIZATION
ACT OF 2018.
This subtitle may be cited as the ``Foreign Investment Risk
Review Modernization Act of 2018''.
SEC. 1702. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) According to a February 2016 report by the
International Trade Administration of the Department of
Commerce, 12,000,000 United States workers, equivalent
to 8.5 percent of the labor force, have jobs resulting
from foreign investment, including 3,500,000 jobs in
the manufacturing sector alone.
(2) In 2016, new foreign direct investment in
United States manufacturing totaled $129,400,000,000.
(3) The Bureau of Economic Analysis of the
Department of Commerce concluded that, in 2015--
(A) foreign-owned affiliates in the United
States--
(i) contributed $894,500,000,000 in
value added to the United States
economy;
(ii) exported goods valued at
$352,800,000,000, accounting for nearly
a quarter of total exports of goods
from the United States; and
(iii) undertook $56,700,000,000 in
research and development; and
(B) the 7 countries investing the most in
the United States, all of which are United
States allies (the United Kingdom, Japan,
Germany, France, Canada, Switzerland, and the
Netherlands) accounted for 72.1 percent of the
value added by foreign-owned affiliates in the
United States and more than 80 percent of
research and development expenditures by such
entities.
(4) According to the Government Accountability
Office, from 2011 to 2016, the number of transactions
reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the
United States (commonly referred to as ``CFIUS'') grew
by 55 percent, while the staff of the Committees
assigned to the reviews increased by 11 percent.
(5) According to a February 2018 report of the
Government Accountability Office on the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (GAO-18-249):
``Officials from Treasury and other member agencies are
aware of pressures on their CFIUS staff given the
current workload and have expressed concerns about
possible workload increases.''. The Government
Accountability Office concluded: ``Without attaining an
understanding of the staffing levels needed to address
the current and future CFIUS workload, particularly if
legislative changes to CFIUS's authorities further
expand its workload, CFIUS may be limited in its
ability to fulfill its objectives and address threats
to the national security of the United States.''.
(6) On March 30, 1954, Dwight David Eisenhower--
five-star general, Supreme Allied Commander, and 34th
President of the United States--in his ``Special
Message to the Congress on Foreign Economic Policy'',
counseled: ``Great mutual advantages to buyer and
seller, to producer and consumer, to investor and to
the community where investment is made, accrue from
high levels of trade and investment.''. President
Eisenhower continued: ``The internal strength of the
American economy has evolved from such a system of
mutual advantage. In the press of other problems and in
the haste to meet emergencies, this nation--and many
other nations of the free world--have all too often
lost sight of this central fact.''. President
Eisenhower concluded: ``If we fail in our trade policy,
we may fail in all. Our domestic employment, our
standard of living, our security, and the solidarity of
the free world--all are involved.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) foreign investment provides substantial
economic benefits to the United States, including the
promotion of economic growth, productivity,
competitiveness, and job creation, thereby enhancing
national security;
(2) maintaining the commitment of the United States
to an open investment policy encourages other countries
to reciprocate and helps open new foreign markets for
United States businesses;
(3) it should continue to be the policy of the
United States to enthusiastically welcome and support
foreign investment, consistent with the protection of
national security;
(4) at the same time, the national security
landscape has shifted in recent years, and so has the
nature of the investments that pose the greatest
potential risk to national security, which warrants an
appropriate modernization of the processes and
authorities of the Committee on Foreign Investment in
the United States and of the United States export
control system;
(5) the Committee on Foreign Investment in the
United States plays a critical role in protecting the
national security of the United States, and, therefore,
it is essential that the member agencies of the
Committee are adequately resourced and able to hire
appropriately qualified individuals in a timely manner,
and that those individuals' security clearances are
processed as a high priority;
(6) the President should conduct a more robust
international outreach effort to urge and help allies
and partners of the United States to establish
processes that are similar to the Committee on Foreign
Investment in the United States to screen foreign
investments for national security risks and to
facilitate coordination;
(7) the President should lead a collaborative
effort with allies and partners of the United States to
strengthen the multilateral export control regime;
(8) any penalties imposed by the United States
Government with respect to an individual or entity
pursuant to a determination that the individual or
entity has violated sanctions imposed by the United
States or the export control laws of the United States
should not be reversed for reasons unrelated to the
national security of the United States; and
(9) the Committee on Foreign Investment in the
United States should continue to review transactions
for the purpose of protecting national security and
should not consider issues of national interest absent
a national security nexus.
(c) Sense of Congress on Consideration of Covered
Transactions.--It is the sense of Congress that, when
considering national security risks, the Committee on Foreign
Investment in the United States may consider--
(1) whether a covered transaction involves a
country of special concern that has a demonstrated or
declared strategic goal of acquiring a type of critical
technology or critical infrastructure that would affect
United States leadership in areas related to national
security;
(2) the potential national security-related effects
of the cumulative control of, or pattern of recent
transactions involving, any one type of critical
infrastructure, energy asset, critical material, or
critical technology by a foreign government or foreign
person;
(3) whether any foreign person engaging in a
covered transaction with a United States business has a
history of complying with United States laws and
regulations;
(4) the control of United States industries and
commercial activity by foreign persons as it affects
the capability and capacity of the United States to
meet the requirements of national security, including
the availability of human resources, products,
technology, materials, and other supplies and services,
and in considering ``the availability of human
resources'', should construe that term to include
potential losses of such availability resulting from
reductions in the employment of United States persons
whose knowledge or skills are critical to national
security, including the continued production in the
United States of items that are likely to be acquired
by the Department of Defense or other Federal
departments or agencies for the advancement of the
national security of the United States;
(5) the extent to which a covered transaction is
likely to expose, either directly or indirectly,
personally identifiable information, genetic
information, or other sensitive data of United States
citizens to access by a foreign government or foreign
person that may exploit that information in a manner
that threatens national security; and
(6) whether a covered transaction is likely to have
the effect of exacerbating or creating new
cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the United States or
is likely to result in a foreign government gaining a
significant new capability to engage in malicious
cyber-enabled activities against the United States,
including such activities designed to affect the
outcome of any election for Federal office.

PART I--AUTHORITY AND ADMINISTRATION OF CONTROLS
SEC. 1751. SHORT TITLE.
This part may be cited as the ``Export Controls Act of
2018''.
SEC. 1752. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
The following is the policy of the United States:
(1) To use export controls only after full
consideration of the impact on the economy of the
United States and only to the extent necessary--
(A) to restrict the export of items which
would make a significant contribution to the
military potential of any other country or
combination of countries which would prove
detrimental to the national security of the
United States; and
(B) to restrict the export of items if
necessary to further significantly the foreign
policy of the United States or to fulfill its
declared international obligations.
(2) The national security and foreign policy of the
United States require that the export, reexport, and
in-country transfer of items, and specific activities
of United States persons, wherever located, be
controlled for the following purposes:
(A) To control the release of items for use
in--
(i) the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction or of conventional
weapons;
(ii) the acquisition of
destabilizing numbers or types of
conventional weapons;
(iii) acts of terrorism;
(iv) military programs that could
pose a threat to the security of the
United States or its allies; or
(v) activities undertaken
specifically to cause significant
interference with or disruption of
critical infrastructure.
(B) To preserve the qualitative military
superiority of the United States.
(C) To strengthen the United States defense
industrial base.
(D) To carry out the foreign policy of the
United States, including the protection of
human rights and the promotion of democracy.
(E) To carry out obligations and
commitments under international agreements and
arrangements, including multilateral export
control regimes.
(F) To facilitate military interoperability
between the United States and its North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other
close allies.
(G) To ensure national security controls
are tailored to focus on those core
technologies and other items that are capable
of being used to pose a serious national
security threat to the United States.
(3) The national security of the United States
requires that the United States maintain its leadership
in the science, technology, engineering, and
manufacturing sectors, including foundational
technology that is essential to innovation. Such
leadership requires that United States persons are
competitive in global markets. The impact of the
implementation of this part on such leadership and
competitiveness must be evaluated on an ongoing basis
and applied in imposing controls under sections 1753
and 1754 to avoid negatively affecting such leadership.
(4) The national security and foreign policy of the
United States require that the United States
participate in multilateral organizations and
agreements regarding export controls on items that are
consistent with the policy of the United States, and
take all the necessary steps to secure the adoption and
consistent enforcement, by the governments of such
countries, of export controls on items that are
consistent with such policy.
(5) Export controls should be coordinated with the
multilateral export control regimes. Export controls
that are multilateral are most effective, and should be
tailored to focus on those core technologies and other
items that are capable of being used to pose a serious
national security threat to the United States and its
allies.
(6) Export controls applied unilaterally to items
widely available from foreign sources generally are
less effective in preventing end-users from acquiring
those items. Application of unilateral export controls
should be limited for purposes of protecting specific
United States national security and foreign policy
interests.
(7) The effective administration of export controls
requires a clear understanding both inside and outside
the United States Government of which items are
controlled and an efficient process should be created
to regularly update the controls, such as by adding or
removing such items.
(8) The export control system must ensure that it
is transparent, predictable, and timely, has the
flexibility to be adapted to address new threats in the
future, and allows seamless access to and sharing of
export control information among all relevant United
States national security and foreign policy agencies.
(9) Implementation and enforcement of United States
export controls require robust capabilities in
monitoring, intelligence, and investigation,
appropriate penalties for violations, and the ability
to swiftly interdict unapproved transfers.
(10) Export controls complement and are a critical
element of the national security policies underlying
the laws and regulations governing foreign direct
investment in the United States, including controlling
the transfer of critical technologies to certain
foreign persons. Thus, the President, in coordination
with the Secretary, the Secretary of Defense, the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of Energy, and the
heads of other Federal agencies, as appropriate, should
have a regular and robust process to identify the
emerging and other types of critical technologies of
concern and regulate their release to foreign persons
as warranted regardless of the nature of the underlying
transaction. Such identification efforts should draw
upon the resources and expertise of all relevant parts
of the United States Government, industry, and
academia. These efforts should be in addition to
traditional efforts to modernize and update the lists
of controlled items under the multilateral export
control regimes.
(11) The authority under this part may be exercised
only in furtherance of all of the objectives set forth
in paragraphs (1) through (10).
SEC. 1753. AUTHORITY OF THE PRESIDENT.

both with respect to current and future defense
requirements; and
(7) enforce the controls through means such as
regulations, requirements for compliance, lists of
controlled items, lists of foreign persons who threaten
the national security or foreign policy of the United
States, and guidance in a form that facilitates

persons, in particular academic institutions,
scientific and research establishments, and small- and
medium-sized businesses.
(c) Application of Controls.--The President shall impose
controls over the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of
items for purposes of the objectives described in subsections
(b)(1) or (b)(2) without regard to the nature of the underlying
transaction or any circumstances pertaining to the activity,
including whether such export, reexport, or in-country transfer
occurs pursuant to a purchase order or other contract
requirement, voluntary decision, inter-company arrangement,
marketing effort, or during a joint venture, joint development
agreement, or similar collaborative agreement.

control and sanctions authorities exercised by Federal
departments and agencies, particularly the Department
of State, the Department of the Treasury, and the
Department of Energy.
(2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress
that in order to achieve effective coordination
described in paragraph (1), such Federal departments

enforceable regulations with respect to the
export, reexport, and in-country transfer by
United States and foreign persons of
commodities, software, technology, and services
to various end uses and end users for foreign
policy and national security reasons;
(B) should regularly work to reduce
complexity in the system, including complexity
caused merely by the existence of structural,
definitional, and other non-policy based
differences between and among different export
control and sanctions systems; and
(C) should coordinate controls on items
exported, reexported, or in-country transferred
in connection with a foreign military sale
under chapter 2 of the Arms Export Control Act
(22 U.S.C. 2761 et seq.) or a commercial sale
under section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act
to reduce as much unnecessary administrative
burden as possible that is a result of
differences between the exercise of those two
authorities.

This part may be cited as the ``Anti-Boycott Act of 2018''.
SEC. 1772. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
Congress declares it is the policy of the United States--
(1) to oppose restrictive trade practices or
boycotts fostered or imposed by any foreign country
against other countries friendly to the United States
or against any United States person;
(2) to encourage and, in specified cases, require
United States persons engaged in the export of goods or
technology or other information to refuse to take
actions, including furnishing information or entering
into or implementing agreements, which have the effect
of furthering or supporting the restrictive trade
practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by any
foreign country against a country friendly to the
United States or any United States person; and
(3) to foster international cooperation and the
development of international rules and institutions to
assure reasonable access to world supplies.
SEC. 1773. FOREIGN BOYCOTTS.
(a) Prohibitions and Exceptions.--

the policies set forth in section 1772, the President
shall issue regulations prohibiting any United States
person, with respect to that person's activities in the
interstate or foreign commerce of the United States,
from taking or knowingly agreeing to take any of the
following actions with intent to comply with, further,
or support any boycott fostered or imposed by any
foreign country, against a country which is friendly to

any form of boycott pursuant to United States law or
regulation:

organized under the laws of the boycotted
country, with any national or resident of the
boycotted country, or with any other person,
pursuant to an agreement with, a requirement
of, or a request from or on behalf of the
boycotting country. The mere absence of a
business relationship with or in the boycotted
country with any business concern organized
under the laws of the boycotted country, with
any national or resident of the boycotted
country, or with any other person, does not
indicate the existence of the intent required
to establish a violation of regulations issued
to carry out this subparagraph.
(B) Refusing, or requiring any other person
to refuse, to employ or otherwise
discriminating against any United States person
on the basis of race, religion, sex, or
national origin of that person or of any owner,

the race, religion, sex, or national origin of
any United States person or of any owner,
officer, director, or employee of such person.
(D) Furnishing information about whether
any person has, has had, or proposes to have
any business relationship (including a
relationship by way of sale, purchase, legal or
commercial representation, shipping or other
transport, insurance, investment, or supply)
with or in the boycotted country, with any
business concern organized under the laws of
the boycotted country, with any national or
resident of the boycotted country, or with any
other person which is known or believed to be
restricted from having any business
relationship with or in the boycotting country.
Nothing in this subparagraph shall prohibit the
furnishing of normal business information in a
commercial context as defined by the Secretary.
(E) Furnishing information about whether
any person is a member of, has made
contributions to, or is otherwise associated
with or involved in the activities of any
charitable or fraternal organization which
supports the boycotted country.
(F) Paying, honoring, confirming, or
otherwise implementing a letter of credit which
contains any condition or requirement
compliance with which is prohibited by
regulations issued pursuant to this paragraph,
and no United States person shall, as a result
of the application of this paragraph, be
obligated to pay or otherwise honor or
implement such letter of credit.
(2) Exceptions.--Regulations issued pursuant to
paragraph (1) shall provide exceptions for--
(A) complying or agreeing to comply with
requirements--
(i) prohibiting the import of goods
or services from the boycotted country
or goods produced or services provided
by any business concern organized under
the laws of the boycotted country or by
nationals or residents of the boycotted
country; or
(ii) prohibiting the shipment of
goods to the boycotting country on a
carrier of the boycotted country, or by
a route other than that prescribed by
the boycotting country or the recipient
of the shipment;
(B) complying or agreeing to comply with
import and shipping document requirements with
respect to the country of origin, the name of
the carrier and route of shipment, the name of
the supplier of the shipment or the name of the
provider of other services, except that no
information knowingly furnished or conveyed in
response to such requirements may be stated in
negative, blacklisting, or similar exclusionary
terms, other than with respect to carriers or
route of shipment as may be permitted by such
regulations in order to comply with
precautionary requirements protecting against
war risks and confiscation;
(C) complying or agreeing to comply in the
normal course of business with the unilateral
and specific selection by a boycotting country,
or national or resident thereof, of carriers,
insurers, suppliers of services to be performed
within the boycotting country or specific goods
which, in the normal course of business, are
identifiable by source when imported into the
boycotting country;
(D) complying or agreeing to comply with
export requirements of the boycotting country
relating to shipments or transshipments of
exports to the boycotted country, to any
business concern of or organized under the laws
of the boycotted country, or to any national or
resident of the boycotted country;
(E) compliance by an individual or
agreement by an individual to comply with the
immigration or passport requirements of any
country with respect to such individual or any
member of such individual's family or with
requests for information regarding requirements
of employment of such individual within the
boycotting country; and
(F) compliance by a United States person
resident in a foreign country or agreement by
such person to comply with the laws of that
country with respect to his activities

contain exceptions for such resident complying
with the laws or regulations of that foreign
country governing imports into such country of
trademarked, trade named, or similarly
specifically identifiable products, or
components of products for his own use,
including the performance of contractual
services within that country, as may be defined
by such regulations.

paragraphs (2)(C) and (2)(F) shall not provide
exceptions from paragraphs (1)(B) and (1)(C).

to evade the provisions of this section as implemented
by the regulations issued pursuant to this subsection,

course of conduct, including a pattern of responses)
otherwise prohibited, which are not within the intent
of such exceptions.
(b) Foreign Policy Controls.--
(1) In general.--In addition to the regulations
issued pursuant to subsection (a), regulations issued
under part I to carry out the policies set forth in
section 1752(1)(D) shall implement the policies set
forth in this section.
(2) Requirements.--Such regulations shall require
that any United States person receiving a request for
the furnishing of information, the entering into or
implementing of agreements, or the taking of any other
action referred to in subsection (a) shall report that
fact to the Secretary, together with such other
information concerning such request as the Secretary
may require for such action as the Secretary considers
appropriate for carrying out the policies of that
section. Such person shall also report to the Secretary
whether such person intends to comply and whether such
person has complied with such request. Any report filed
pursuant to this paragraph shall be made available
promptly for public inspection and copying, except that
information regarding the quantity, description, and
value of any goods or technology to which such report
relates may be kept confidential if the Secretary
determines that disclosure thereof would place the
United States person involved at a competitive
disadvantage. The Secretary shall periodically transmit
summaries of the information contained in such reports
to the Secretary of State for such action as the
Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary,
considers appropriate for carrying out the policies set
forth in section 1772.
(c) Preemption.--The provisions of this section and the
regulations issued pursuant thereto shall preempt any law,
rule, or regulation of any of the several States or the
District of Columbia, or any of the territories or possessions
of the United States, or of any governmental subdivision
thereof, which law, rule, or regulation pertains to
participation in, compliance with, implementation of, or the
furnishing of information regarding restrictive trade practices
or boycotts fostered or imposed by foreign countries against
other countries friendly to the United States.
SEC. 1774. ENFORCEMENT.

RELATING TO URANIUM MINING AND NUCLEAR TESTING.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (42
U.S.C. 2210 note) was enacted in 1990 to provide
monetary compensation to individuals who contracted
certain cancers and other serious diseases following
their exposure to radiation released during atmospheric
nuclear weapons testing during the Cold War or
following exposure to radiation as a result of
employment in the uranium industry during the Cold War.
(2) The Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 7384 et
seq.) formally acknowledged the dangers to which some
employees of sites of the Department of Energy and its
vendors during the Cold War were exposed. That Act also
acknowledged that, although establishing the link
between occupational hazards and specific diseases can
be difficult, scientific evidence exists to support the
conclusion that some activities related to Cold War
nuclear weapons production have resulted in increased
risk of illness and death to workers. That Act
established a formal process for the submission of
claims for medical expenses and lump sum compensation
for former employees and contractors and survivors of
those former employees and contractors.
(3) As of the date of the enactment of this Act,
more than 150,231 claims have been paid out under the
Radiation Exposure Compensation Act and the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
of 2000, for a total of at least $17,400,000,000 in
lump sum compensation and medical expenses.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the United States Government should appropriately compensate
and recognize the employees, contractors, and other individuals
described in subsection (a).

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at
the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on
the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 5515), to
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2019 for military
activities of the Department of Defense, for military
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of
Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such
fiscal year, and for other purposes, submit the following joint
statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of the
effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and
recommended in the accompanying conference report:
The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after
the enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment
of the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the
House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between
the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute agreed
to in conference are noted below, except for clerical
corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements
reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying
changes.
Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and Senate
regarding earmarks and congressionally directed spending items
Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the
House of Representatives and Rule XLIV(3) of the Standing Rules
of the Senate, neither this conference report nor the
accompanying joint statement of managers contains any
congressional earmarks, congressionally directed spending
items, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits, as
defined in such rules.
Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget authority
implication
The budget request for national defense discretionary
programs within the jurisdiction of the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives for
fiscal year 2019 was $708.1 billion. Of this amount, $617.1
billion was requested for base Department of Defense programs,
$69.0 billion was requested for overseas contingency
operations, $21.8 billion was requested for national security
programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear
Facilities Safety Board, and $214.0 million for defense-related
activities.
The conference agreement would authorize $708.1 billion
in fiscal year 2019, including $616.9 billion for base
Department of Defense programs, $69.0 billion for overseas
contingency operations, $21.9 billion for national security
programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear
Facilities Safety Board, and $300.0 million for defense-related
activities.
The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments
in Division D of the accompanying joint statement of managers
summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement and
the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2019
defense programs.
Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 4) that
would require that the budgetary effects of this Act be
determined in accordance with the procedures established in the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (title I of Public Law 111-
139).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS
Title I--Procurement
BUDGET ITEMS
Columbia-class submarine advance procurement
The budget request included $3.0 billion in line item 1
of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for Columbia-class
submarine advance procurement.
The House bill would authorize an increase of $82.7
million above the request.
The Senate amendment would authorize the funding level in
the request.
The agreement authorizes an increase of $237.0 million
above the request.
The conferees' intent in authorizing additional funds for
submarine industrial base expansion is to ensure second- and
third-tier contractors are able to meet increased production
requirements.
The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to notify
the congressional defense committees within 30 days of
obligating funds provided for submarine industrial base
expansion of the: obligation date, contractor name or names,
location, description of the shortfall to be addressed, actions
to be undertaken, desired end state, usable end items to be
procured, period of performance, dollar amount, projected
associated savings including business case analysis if
applicable, contract name, and contract number.
The conferees believe that expanding the capabilities of
the second- and third-tier contractors in the submarine
industrial base should lead to greater cost savings and
improved efficiency as production increases to meet the
Columbia-class schedule and higher requirement for Virginia-
class attack submarines in the Navy's latest Force Structure
Assessment.
Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations
Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) that
would authorize appropriations for procurement at the levels
identified in section 4101 of division D of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
101).
The House recedes.
Subtitle B--Army Programs
National Guard and reserve component equipment report (sec. 111)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that
would require a joint assessment by the Army and National Guard
on efforts to achieve parity among the active component, the
Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard with respect to
equipment and capabilities.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Deployment by the Army of an interim cruise missile defense capability
(sec. 112)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111)
that would direct the Army to procure an alternate short-term
option to fill its cruise missile defense gap with existing
systems and accelerate the Indirect Fire Protection Capability
(IFPC) system independently of Integrated Air and Missile
Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) deployment, leveraging
entities such as the Defense Digital Service or the Defense
Innovation Unit Experimental, and to report the determination
of that short-term option to the congressional defense
committees no later than 90 days after the enactment of this
Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to certify the need for the Army to
fill the gap in cruise missile defense prior to deployment of
such a capability, subject to appropriations. Further, the
amendment would urge the Army to consider a range of directed
energy solutions for the deployment of the 2023 interim
capability deployment date and remove the requirement for
locations of deployment for such a capability.
The conferees are deeply concerned about the paucity of
land-based cruise missile defense capabilities and the Army's
corresponding inability to adequately protect the joint force's
fixed site systems, such as airfields and logistical depots.
Integrated air and missile defense is critical for joint
operations, but assets are not currently ready to counter an
adversary's potential complex, integrated attack, thus leaving
critical assets vulnerable. As outlined by the National Defense
Strategy, cruise missile defense is a critical capability to
defend against Russian and Chinese threats. Without this
capability, the committee is concerned the U.S. Army will fail
to successfully perform its mission to protect the joint force.
For these reasons, the conferees strongly urge the Army
to consider deployment of the interim capability be prioritized
in locations for deployment of air bases and significant fixed
site locations in Europe and Asia for the purpose of the
protection of such bases and locations against potential cruise
missile threats. The conferees further recommend that the Army
consider force structure requirements for the interim
capability and plan accordingly in order to ensure full support
of such a system once deployed.
Subtitle C--Navy Programs
Procurement authority for Ford-class aircraft carrier program (sec.
121)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that
would authorize the construction of one Ford-class aircraft
carrier designated CVN-81.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a
certification prior to awarding a contract authorized by this
provision.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense has
been able to achieve program efficiencies and cost savings by
using multiyear and block buy contracting with many weapons
programs, to include shipbuilding. If the Department of the
Navy intends to pursue a two-ship procurement of CVN-80 and
CVN-81 outside the title 10, United States Code, parameters for
a multiyear contract, the conferees expect that entering into
such contract would be based on rigorous analysis with a sound
business case and substantial savings.
Earlier this year, the Navy issued a request for
proposal soliciting information on a potential contract to
acquire two Ford-class aircraft carriers (CVN-80 and CVN-81).
The conferees are disappointed that no related information was
provided to the congressional defense committees to enable
fulsome consideration of the associated required legislative
authorities during the development of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
Nonetheless, the conferees believe a two-ship procurement
of CVN-80 and CVN-81 could result in significant cost savings.
Accordingly, this provision would provide the necessary
authorities for implementing such an approach, if the Secretary
of Defense certifies supporting analysis prepared and provided
by the milestone decision authority for the carrier replacement
program, which is the Department of the Navy Service
Acquisition Executive.
It is the conferees' intent that the Secretary of Defense
review such analysis and, if the Secretary deems it
appropriate, make the certification without performing any
separate cost assessments or analyses. The conferees view such
a process as consistent with ongoing efforts to reduce the time
associated with acquisition decisions, push acquisition
authorities and accountability to the Services, and ensure that
the Secretary of Defense retains visibility and ultimate
authority over acquisition matters in the Department.
Full ship shock trial for Ford-class aircraft carrier (sec. 122)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 123) that
would ensure that full ship shock trials results are
incorporated in the construction of the Ford-class aircraft
carrier designated CVN-81.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Sense of Congress on accelerated production of aircraft carriers (sec.
123)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that
would express the sense of Congress as to aircraft carrier
force structure. Additionally, this section would modify
section 5062 of title 10, United States Code, by increasing the
required aircraft carrier force structure from 11 to 12
operational aircraft carriers by September 30, 2022.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express
the sense of Congress on accelerated production of aircraft
carriers.
Multiyear procurement authority for standard missile-6 (sec. 124)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that
would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or
more multiyear contracts for 625 Standard Missile-6 missiles
beginning in fiscal year 2019, in accordance with section 2306b
of title 10, United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
125) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter
into multiyear contracts beginning in fiscal year 2019 for the
procurement of 625 Standard Missile-6 guided missiles pending
the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation
confirmation of the Secretary of the Navy's preliminary
findings as required in subsection a of section 2306b of title
10, United States Code.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Multiyear procurement authority for E-2D aircraft (sec. 125)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 126) that
would authorize multiyear procurement for E-2D aircraft.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
122).
The Senate recedes.
Multiyear procurement authority for F/A-18E/F aircraft and EA-18G
aircraft (sec. 126)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 127) that
would authorize multiyear procurement for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G
aircraft.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
121).
The Senate recedes.
Modifications to F/A-18 aircraft to mitigate physiological episodes
(sec. 127)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 128) that
would require the Secretary of the Navy to modify F/A-18
aircraft to reduce the occurrence of, and mitigate the risk
posed by, physiological episodes affecting F/A-18 crewmembers.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the requirement for the installation of an automatic ground
collision avoidance system.
The conferees expect EA-18G aircraft to also receive the
modifications required in this provision.
Frigate class ship program (sec. 128)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 129) that
would require, as part of the solicitation for proposals for
the procurement of any frigate class ship, that the Secretary
of the Navy require offerors to submit proposals that provide
for conveying technical data to the government. Additionally,
this provision would require the Secretary of the Navy to
ensure that the government's technical data rights are
sufficient to allow for specified follow-on activities.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove
the requirement for the Secretary of the Navy to ensure that
the government's technical data rights are sufficient to allow
for specified follow-on activities and clarify the conditions
under which technical data shall be provided to the government.
The conferees' intent is to obtain sufficient technical
data to ensure the Navy has the option to compete the winning
frigate design in the future for production by at least one
additional shipbuilder, if the Navy's inventory objective for
FFG(X)-class ships merits such expansion. The conferees note
that the benefits of two shipbuilders building the same ship
design have been demonstrated in both the DDG-51 and CG-47
classes. The conferees do not intend for the winning frigate
offeror to provide technical data beyond what is needed for a
single-design, multiple-shipbuilder frigate acquisition
strategy or otherwise authorized by law.
Contract requirement for Virginia class submarine program (sec. 129)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 130) that
would modify section 124 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to prohibit the
Secretary of the Navy from entering into economic order
quantity contracts for the Virginia-class submarine program
until the Secretary certifies that such funding shall be used
to enter into economic order quantities for 12 Virginia-class
submarines.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of the Navy to ensure that an option to procure
one additional Virginia-class submarine in each of fiscal years
2022 and 2023 is included in the associated multiyear
procurement contract award planned for fiscal year 2019.

Stat. 2037) and require the Secretary of the Air Force to
provide to the congressional defense committees periodic
reports on the EC-130H Compass Call Recapitalization program
and opportunities to accelerate the program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the required reports.
The conferees expect to be regularly updated on the
status and progress of the Compass Call Recapitalization
program. The conferees expect such updates to include, at a
minimum: 1) a program status update; 2) a description of

or prepare to retire, any E-8 JSTARS aircraft.
The House recedes with an amendment that would limit
retirement of legacy E-8C until Increment 2 of the Advanced
Battle-Management System of the Air Force declares Initial
Operational Capability. The amendment would also require the
Secretary of Defense to certify that the Secretary of the Air
Force is: taking all reasonable steps to ensure the legacy E-8C
continues to meet all safety of flight requirements and that
the Air Force is taking steps to increase the legacy JSTARS
fleet's aircraft availability and capacity provided to
combatant commanders. The amendment would also require reports
be submitted to the congressional defense committees by the
Secretary of the Air Force on the legacy E-8C fleet and by the
Comptroller General of the United States on ABMS.
Finally, the conferees direct the Director, Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation, Office of the Secretary of
Defense, to provide the congressional defense committees a
report no later than February 5, 2019, on a cost, schedule, and
implementation plan for restarting the dormant legacy E-8C re-
engining program that the Air Force originally initiated in
2007. The conferees understand the Secretary of the Air Force
procured three ship-sets of engines, after investing $450.0
million, and the engines remain unused. The conferees note that

The conferees note that section 207 of the Coast Guard
Authorization Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-120) provided
authority for the Commandant of the Coast Guard to enter into a
contract or contracts for the acquisition of polar icebreakers
and associated equipment using incremental funding. The
conferees further note the Fiscal Years 2019 through 2023
Future Years Homeland Security Program includes $1.8 billion to
fully fund 3 icebreakers. The conferees understand that

provided.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees believe that Department of Defense (DOD)
civil affairs and military information support activities are
complementary and reinforcing and are an important tool to
support the military objectives of the combatant commands.
Furthermore, especially in an Embassy-based environment, such
activities by DOD personnel can be further complemented and
reinforced by public diplomacy activities of the State
Department and stabilization or development activities by the
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The
conferees believe these efforts can be better leveraged to
provide whole of government solutions to a rapidly evolving
global security environment.
The conferees also note that the process for funding the
execution of military information support and civil affairs
activities often does not align with operational timelines or
involves fiscal authorities that are misaligned to the purpose
of the activity. Furthermore, the conferees believe that
reserve component military information support and civil
affairs personnel could be better utilized to augment special
operations forces. Therefore, the conferees direct the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low
Intensity Conflict, in coordination with the Commander of U.S.
Special Operations Command, to submit a report on civil affairs
and military information support to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not

authorities available to support civil affairs and military
information support activities and challenges, if any, in

(2) Recommendations for new authorities or modifications
to existing authorities that would help to facilitate the
execution of civil affairs and military information support
activities and the integration of such activities with other
complementary efforts by the State Department and USAID;
(3) Recommendations for new authorities or modifications
to existing authorities that would help to improve the
utilization of reserve component civil affairs and military
information support personnel to augment special operations
forces; and
(4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the Assistant
Secretary.

The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the valuable contributions to morale
and public relations made by the Department of Defense's fixed-
wing aviation demonstration teams, including the Blue Angels
and Thunderbirds. However, the conferees believe operational

expect the Department to prioritize operational squadrons in
their decisions regarding fielding of aircraft.

to require the Secretary of Defense to publish an indexed
summary of each Board for Correction of Military Records
decision.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note the substantial changes that have been
made to the boards for correction of military records and
discharge review boards over the past several years. While
these provisions have greatly enhanced an applicant's ability
to have their application thoroughly and fairly considered by
the board, it has also increased the processing time for these
actions. These additional protections, coupled with the boards'
staff and information technology limitations, have resulted in
several of the boards repeatedly failing to meet
congressionally-mandated processing times. As a result, the
conferees direct the secretaries of the military departments to
each provide a report by February 1, 2019, analyzing the causes
of their backlogs, what efforts are being undertaken to remedy
these backlogs, and what additional resources are needed to
meet congressionally-mandated processing times.

staff of the Boards of Correction for Military and Naval
Records, and would authorize $3.0 million to carry out the
training.

selected from individuals with appropriate experience and that
they are trained to perform those duties.

(article 56(b)(1) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice), to
require a minimum confinement period of 2 years for individuals
convicted of certain sex-related offenses.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Modification of Military Rules of Evidence to exclude admissibility of
general military character toward probability of innocence in
any offense not strictly related to performance of military
duties
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 534) that
would amend Rule 404(a) of the Military Rules of Evidence
contained in the Manual for Courts-Martial to provide that the

that would amend sections 1552 and 1553 of title 10, United
States Code, to clarify the treatment of claims for review of a
discharge or dismissal relating to military sexual trauma in
correction of military records and review of discharge or
dismissal proceedings.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Consideration of application for transfer for a student of a military
service academy who is the victim of a sexual assault or
related offense
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 542) that
would require the Secretary concerned to expedite the
consideration and approval of an application for an inter-
academy transfer submitted by a cadet of a military academy who
has been the victim of sexual assault.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The Conferees believe that providing an option for a
cadet or midshipman, who was sexually assaulted, to request a
transfer to another academy should be explored. Therefore, the
conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to study the
feasibility of establishing a process to accommodate such
request and provide a briefing on the results of the study to
the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives not later than March 1, 2019. If the Secretary
determines it is feasible to establish a process, the briefing
should include any legislative authorities required.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Consecutive service of service obligation in connection with payment of
tuition for off-duty training or education for commissioned
officers of the Armed Forces with any other service obligations
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 551)
that would amend section 2007(b) of title 10, United States
Code, to require an Active-Duty service obligation incurred by
an officer for the acceptance of tuition assistance for off-
duty training or education be served sequentially with any
other service obligation already incurred by the officer.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that officers who accept tuition
assistance for off-duty education incur an active duty service
obligation. Tuition assistance is an important retention tool
and a particularly valuable benefit at a time when costs for
education continue to increase. Therefore the conferees direct
the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a
review of retention data associated with officers who accept
tuition assistance payments. This review should, at a minimum,
include the following elements: (1) The average annual number
of officer personnel who accept tuition assistance, (2) The
average number of years of commissioned service of officers
when beginning to accept tuition assistance, (3) The average
number of additional years an officer is retained on active
duty following completion of tuition assistance payments; and
(4) An assessment of the effect of switching the active duty
service obligation for accepting tuition assistance from a
policy that allows tuition assistance service obligations to be
served concurrent to other service commitments an officer may
have, to a policy that requires tuition assistance service
obligations be served consecutively with any other active duty
service obligation.
The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the
United States to provide preliminary observations to the
Committees on Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives by the end of February 2019. At
that time, a final product due date will be determined.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

The House recedes.
Comptroller General briefing and report on permanent employment
assistance centers
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 558) that
would require the Comptroller General of the United States to
provide a briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the
Senate and House of Representatives, with a report to follow,
on employment assistance required under the law and related
information regarding civilian employment certification.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note the importance of ensuring military
skills and experience can be applied to gainful civilian
employment and therefore direct the Comptroller General of the

Code, and to provide preliminary observations to the Committees
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives by the end of February 2019. At that time, a
final product due date will be determined.
The review shall include: (1) A description of the
content of any relevant databases used to record training
performed by servicemembers that may by applicable for future
civilian employment; (2) A listing and description, to include
usage rates, of employment assistance centers within the

and authenticity of a servicemember's certifications upon a
State's request within the required 5 business day timeline.
Activities to increase awareness of apprenticeship programs
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 559) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to include, as part of
service members' transition counseling, information on
apprenticeship programs and the use of veterans' benefits to
pay for these programs.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that apprenticeships provide a
valuable career option for separating servicemembers and
encourage the Department of Defense to ensure information on
apprenticeship programs, and appropriate funding options, is
easily accessible to those servicemembers who may be interested
in pursuing an apprenticeship upon separating from the
military.
Report on availability of college credit for skills acquired during
military service
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560A) that

family childcare under the report required by section 575 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018
(Public Law 115-91).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that Senate report accompanying S.
2987 (S. Rept. 115-262) directs the Department of Defense to
include in its assessment of the use of subsidized, off-
installation childcare services, required by subsection (a) of
section 575 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), an assessment on
modifying the rate of use of subsidized, off-installation
childcare services by military families in light of the full
implementation of MilitaryChildCare.com, including whether the
availability of off-installation childcare services for
military families could be increased by altering policies of
the Armed Forces on capping the amount of subsidies for
military families for such services based on the cost of living
for families and the average cost of civilian childcare
services.
Flexible maternity and parental leave

allow the Secretary of Defense to enter into arrangements to
provide for the elementary or secondary education of the
dependents of retirees residing on a military installation if
the Secretary determines that appropriate educational programs
are not available through a local educational agency.
The Senate contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Limitations on authority to revoke certain military decorations awarded
to members of the Armed Forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 571) that
would amend chapters 357, 567, and 857 of title 10, United
States Code, to add a new section that would restrict the
President and service secretaries from revoking a military
decoration after the actual award of the military decoration to
the service member except under limited circumstances.

award or commendation was presented; and (3) A description of
how the Secretary plans to expand incentive programs for the
purpose described in this section and streamline such programs.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees are supportive of recent Department of
Defense initiatives to redesign or streamline processes to save
taxpayer dollars. However, while major department-wide savings
are important, frequently military and civilian personnel
identify smaller cost-saving opportunities in the course of
performing their normal duties. These cost-saving ideas are
frequently unnoticed or ignored by the chains of command,
resulting in lost opportunities to address needless waste and
inefficiency. The conferees encourage service secretaries to
take demonstrable steps to empower their personnel to identify
and implement cost-saving ideas whenever possible, and widely
publicize successes to achieve greater savings at scale.

related fields within the Department of Defense.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

would amend section 582 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) to require the
Secretary of Defense to provide funding to the States to carry
out programs that provide deployment cycle information,
services, and referrals to servicemembers, in both the active
and reserve components, and their families throughout the

facility at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

emotionally abusing a child
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 593) that

remove the limitations on the amount of disposable retired pay
that would be subject to garnishment of retired pay to satisfy
a judgement rendered for abuse of a child.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that sections 8345 and 8467 of title
5, United States Code, currently provide for the garnishment of
federal civilian retirement payments, without limitation on the
amount of disposable retired pay subject to garnishment, in
accordance with the terms of a court order or similar process
in the nature of garnishment for the enforcement of a judgment
against the annuitant for physically, sexually, or emotionally
abusing a child. However, section 1408 of title 10, United
States Code, limits the amount of disposable military retired
pay subject to garnishment for such judgments to 25 percent.
The conferees therefore direct the Secretary of Defense, no
later than February 1, 2019, to provide a briefing to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives on the advisability and feasibility of removing
the 25 percent cap on garnishment of disposable military

Armed Forces to applications on mobile telephones that use
innovative technologies and provide for interaction between
trainees and information needed to complete training in a
manner that is cost efficient.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
The House recedes.
The conferees are aware of ongoing Department of Defense
efforts to transition various manuals and other documents to
electronic formats. These efforts are critical to increase the
effectiveness of information transfer and better align the
Department of Defense with private sector best practices. The
conferees urge the Secretary of Defense to continue
transitioning all hard-copy manuals, publications, and other
documents into electronic format suitable for viewing on mobile
devices.
Limitation on justifications entered by military recruiters for

under section 12304b of title 10, United States Code, to
receive a high-deployment allowance for frequent or lengthy
deployments.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Prohibition on per diem allowance reductions based on the duration of
temporary duty assignment or civilian travel (sec. 603)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 605) that
would halt implementation of the 2014 Department of Defense per
diem policy, direct the Secretary of Defense to issue a report
on options to reduce travel costs, and require notification of
any subsequent changes to the per diem policies following the
report.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
631) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives by no later than 120 days after
enactment of this Act providing a cost-benefit analysis of the
long-term per diem policy rate change that became effective on
November 1, 2014, consistent with the principles and
requirements of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-94.
The Senate provision would further provide that should the
Secretary fail to deliver this analysis within 120 days after
enactment of this Act, or if the analysis demonstrates that the
costs of this policy change outweigh the benefits, and would
continue to outweigh the benefits, then the policy would revert
to the policy in effect as of October 31, 2014.
The Senate amendment contained another similar provision
(sec. 632) that would amend section 474(d)(3) of title 37,
United States Code, to prohibit the Department of Defense from
reducing per diem rates based on the duration of a temporary
duty assignment or civilian travel.
The Senate recedes on section 631 of the Senate
amendment. The House recedes on section 605 of the House bill
and section 632 of the Senate amendment. The conference
agreement includes Section 632 of the Senate amendment.
Extension of parking expenses allowance to civilian employees at
recruiting facilities (sec. 604)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 623) that

Government.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Military Housing Privatization Initiative (sec. 606)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 604) that
would assure that the Basic Allowance for Housing reduction
directed by section 403 of title 10, United States Code, would
not take effect in fiscal year 2019, ensuring that the Military
Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) housing
recapitalization efforts are not reduced. The committee remains
concerned about the reduction in BAH and its effect on the
recapitalization of these housing units. The committee believes
that military families must be provided with on-base housing
that is safe and periodically modernized. Additionally, this
section would require the Secretary of Defense to present a
plan to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the
House of Representatives by December 1, 2018, to provide for a
permanent financial solution to the long term MHPI
recapitalization problem.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
604) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to pay up to
2 percent of the calculated Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
rate to specific lessors who provide on-base housing as part of
the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI).

accession and retention incentives for nuclear-qualified
officers; and would extend the consolidated special and
incentive pay authorities added to subchapter II of chapter 5
of title 37, United States Code, by the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181).
Additionally, this section would extend the authority of the
Secretary of Defense to prescribe a temporary increase in the
rates of basic allowance for housing otherwise prescribed for a
military housing area or a portion of a military housing area
or portion thereof located in an area covered by a declaration
by the President of major natural disaster.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 611)
that would extend for 1 year the general bonus authority for
enlisted members, the general bonus authority for officers,
special aviation incentive pay and bonus authorities for
officers, special bonus and incentive pay authorities for
officers in health professions, and contracting bonus for
cadets and midshipmen enrolled in the Senior Reserve Officers'
Training Corps.
The Senate provision would also extend for 1 year the
authority to pay hazardous duty pay, assignment or special duty
pay, skill incentive or proficiency bonus, and retention
incentives for members qualified in critical military skills or
assigned to high priority units.
The Senate provision would also extend for 1 year the
authority to pay the nurse officer candidate accession bonus
and education loan repayment for certain health professionals
who serve in the Selected Reserve.
The Senate provision would also extend for 1 year the
authority to pay the special bonus and incentive pay for

authority of the Secretary of Defense to temporarily increase
the rate of the Basic Allowance for Housing in areas impacted
by natural disasters or experiencing a sudden influx of
personnel.

pay and hostile fire pay to the Committees on Armed Services of
the Senate and the House of Representatives. The report shall
be submitted no later than March 1, 2019.

certain veterans and their caregivers (sec. 621)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 629) that
would amend Chapter 54 of title 10, United States Code, to
extend eligibility for commissary and morale, welfare, and
recreation (MWR) privileges to certain veterans and veterans'
caregivers. This provision would authorize the Secretary to
impose a user fee on eligible individuals to purchase
merchandise at a commissary or MWR resale facility that would
offset any increase in expenses arising from this provision.
Additionally, this provision would authorize an appropriation
for updating EPACS for military commissaries. This provision
would take effect at the end of the 90-day period beginning on
the date of the enactment of this Act.

that would authorize the Secretary of a military department to
award personal protective equipment (PPE) of the member or
veteran that was damaged during deployment to veterans or
members separating from the Armed Forces.

The House recedes with an amendment that would make
awards available to veterans, only applicable after September
11, 2001, and require any PPE award to be demilitarized and
certified as safe prior to awards.
Space-available travel on Department of Defense aircraft for veterans
with service-connected disabilities rated as total (sec. 624)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 622) that
would amend section 2641b of title 10, United States Code, to
authorize space-available travel for disabled veterans with a
service-connected, permanent disability rated as total.

570) that would amend section 2641b of title 10, United States
Code, to authorize veterans with a permanent service-connected
total disability rating to travel on military aircraft on a
space-available basis. The committee notes that this provision
would also ensure the primary purpose of space-available travel
remains transporting servicemembers and their dependents.
The House recedes.
The conferees note with disappointment that the report on
this topic mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) is over one year late
and reiterate their interest in the results of the requested
analysis.

operation (sec. 625)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 603) that

to mandate, in the case of a member who elects to not be
insured under a Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI)
plan at the maximum available coverage, an automatic increase
in SGLI coverage to the maximum level if the servicemember is
deployed to a combat zone.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Access to military installations for certain surviving spouses and
other next of kin of members of the Armed Forces who die while
on active duty or certain reserve duty (sec. 626)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 621) that
would require service secretaries to provide for issuance of a
standardized Gold Star Installation Access Card to the widow
and dependent children of a deceased servicemember to
facilitate their ability to gain unescorted access to military
installations for the purpose of attending events, visiting
gravesites, and obtaining benefits and services to which they
are entitled or eligible. The provision would also authorize
service secretaries to provide installation access cards to
parents and other next of kin of a deceased servicemember.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 570)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting jointly
with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to establish
procedures whereby an eligible surviving spouse and certain
other next of kin of members of the Armed Forces may obtain
access without escort, as appropriate, to military
installations to receive benefits to which they may be entitled
by law or policy. This provision would require establishment of
such procedures not later than 1 year after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Study and report on development of a single defense resale system (sec.
627)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 625) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study to
determine the feasibility of consolidating military resale
entities into a single defense resale system. The provision
would require the Secretary to provide a report on the study to
the congressional defense committees not later than January 1,
2019. Additionally, the provision would prohibit the obligation
or expenditure of any funds authorized to be appropriated, or
otherwise made available in this Act, for the purpose of
implementing consolidation of the military resale entities
until October 1, 2019.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Prompt review of request for imminent danger pay
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that
would amend section 310 of title 37, United States Code, to
require the Secretary of Defense to issue a determination,
within 90 days, when a geographic combatant commander submits a
request to add a location to the Imminent Danger Pay
eligibility list.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) is
designed to provide additional compensation to servicemembers
on duty in an area in which the member was in imminent danger
of being exposed to hostile fire. Despite this statutory
language, the Department of Defense has been slow in amending
the list of geographic areas where deployed servicemembers
would be eligible for IDP. This is particularly troubling given
the global nature and geographic unpredictability of today's
conflicts.
In 2017, the Department's delays in modifying its IDP
policy resulted in servicemembers deployed to Niger, Mali, and
northern Cameroon being ineligible for IDP payments despite
suffering several casualties and being routinely exposed to
hostile fire. The Department of Defense took nearly 9 months to
rectify its error after four servicemembers were killed while
deployed to Africa.
These delays in updating the Department's IDP policy
caused unnecessary financial frustration and hardship for
servicemembers deployed to Africa to include the families of
four servicemembers who were tragically killed while deployed
to Niger. Therefore the committee strongly encourages the
Secretary of Defense to make determinations on requests for IDP
within ninety days of receiving such requests.
Fiscal year 2019 increase in military basic pay
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 601)
that would authorize a pay raise of 2.6 percent for all members
of the uniformed services effective January 1, 2019.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that current law authorizes automatic
military pay raises consistent with the Economic Cost Index,
which for calendar year 2019 amounts to a 2.6 percent raise in
basic pay for all members of the uniformed services.
Application of basic allowance for housing to members of the uniformed
services in the Virgin Islands
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 602) that
would amend section 403 of title 37, United States Code, to
apply Basic Allowance for Housing to service members in the
Virgin Islands.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Department of Defense proposal for a pay table for members of the Armed
Forces using steps in grade based on time in grade rather than
time in service
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 603)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a
proposal for a time in grade-based pay table for military
personnel. This provision would also require the Comptroller
General to review the proposal and assess its effect on
recruitment and retention.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Modification of authority of President to determine alternative pay
adjustment in annual basic pay of members of the uniformed
services
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 605)
that would amend section 1009(e) of title 37, United States
Code, to remove the justification of serious economic
conditions affecting the general welfare from the waiver
authority of the President to make an alternative pay
adjustment.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Sense of Congress regarding the widows' tax
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 607) that
would express the sense of Congress that: (1) Surviving spouses
and dependent children will not be subject to a full offset of

compensation; and (2) Congress must work to eliminate the
widows' tax entirely.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees agree that Congress should work to
eliminate the full offset of survivor benefit plan payments by
dependency and indemnity compensation.
Reevaluation of BAH for the military housing area including Staten
Island
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 608) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to reevaluate the rate
of basic allowance for housing for the military housing area
that includes Staten Island, New York.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Temporary adjustment in rate of basic allowance for housing following
identification of significant underdetermination of civilian
housing costs for housing areas
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 608)
that would amend section 403(b) of title 37, United States
Code, to allow the Secretary of Defense to temporarily adjust
current rates of Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for a
military housing area if the Secretary determines that the
actual costs of adequate housing in that military housing area
differ from current BAH rates by more than 20 percent. This
authority provided by this provision would expire on December
31, 2019.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Compensation and credit for retired pay purposes for maternity leave
taken by members of the reserve components
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 609) that
would amend section 206(a) of title 37, United States Code, to
authorize compensation to members of the reserve component
during periods of maternity leave. The provision would also
require the period of maternity leave taken by a member of the
reserve component count towards the servicemember's entitlement
to retired pay.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Advisory boards regarding military commissaries and exchanges
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 624) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to direct each
commanding officer of a military installation with a military
commissary or exchange to establish an advisory board comprised

organizations to advise the commanding officer regarding the
interests of patrons and beneficiaries of commissaries and
exchanges.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 627) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report
regarding management of military commissaries and exchanges to
the congressional defense committees within 180 days of the
date of the enactment of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Access for veterans to certain fitness centers
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 628) that
would amend Chapter 152 of title 10, United States Code, to
authorize the service secretaries to grant veterans access to a
fitness center within their jurisdiction under certain
conditions prescribed in the provision.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Title VII--Health Care Provisions
Subtitle A--Tricare and Other Health Care Benefits
Cessation of requirement for mental health assessment of members after
redeployment from a contingency operation upon discharge or
release from the Armed Forces (sec. 701)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that
would amend section 1074m(a)(1)(B) of title 10, United States
Code, to remove the termination date for the provision of
mental health assessments (MHA) for members of the Armed Forces
deployed in support of a contingency operation.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 723)
that would amend section 1074m of title 10, United States Code,
to eliminate the requirement to provide an MHA to a
servicemember after redeployment if the individual has been
discharged from military service. The conferees note that,
under current law, there is no requirement to provide an MHA to
a servicemember 90 to 180 days after redeployment if the
individual has been discharged; however, the cessation of the
requirement to provide an MHA after a member has been
discharged does not currently apply to MHAs required at 180
days to 18 months after redeployment and 18 months to 30 months
after redeployment.
The House recedes.
Pilot program on treatment of members of the Armed Forces for post-
traumatic stress disorder related to military sexual trauma
(sec. 702)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot
program, not to extend beyond 3 years after the date of the
enactment of this Act, to assess the feasibility and
advisability of using intensive outpatient programs to treat
members of the Armed Forces suffering from post-traumatic
stress disorder resulting from military sexual trauma,
including treatment for substance use disorder, depression, and
other issues related to those conditions. Under this provision,
the pilot program would be carried out through partnerships
with public, private, and non-profit health care organizations,
universities, or institutions that: (1) Provide health care to
members of the Armed Forces; (2) Provide evidence-based
treatment for psychological and neurological conditions common
to members of the Armed Forces; (3) Provide health care,
support, and other benefits to family members of members of the
Armed Forces; and (4) Provide health care under the TRICARE

certification process.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 711)
that would amend section 1073c(a) of title 10, United States

1073c(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to require the DHA
Director to ensure that the DHA meets the military personnel
readiness requirements of the senior military operational
commanders of military installations.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the DHA Director to assume responsibility for the
administration of each MTF by September 30, 2021, and would
prescribe additional authorities for the DHA Director. The
amendment would limit closure or downsizing of MTFs until such

subsection (b) of section 1076(a) of title 10, United States
Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to administer
TRICARE's dental insurance plans, through an agreement with the
Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to allow
eligible beneficiaries to enroll in an insurance plan under
chapter 89A of title 5, United States Code, in accordance with
terms (to the extent practicable as defined by the Director
through regulation) prescribed by the Secretary, including
terms consistent with subsection (d) and, to the extent
practicable in relation to chapter 89A, other provisions of
this section.
The House bill contained no similar provision.

that would require the Secretary of Defense to streamline the
process under section 1095f of title 10, United States Code, by
which TRICARE Prime beneficiaries are referred to the civilian

production of the Comptroller General's assessment to four
assessments.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense's
warfighting, business, and enterprise capabilities are
increasingly reliant on or driven by software and information
technology. The Department of Defense is behind other Federal
agencies and industry in implementing best practices for
acquisition of software and information technology
capabilities, to include agile and incremental development
methods along with associated training, tools, and
infrastructure.
The conferees further note that recent years have seen
the most significant reform of the Department's acquisition
function since the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-23), to include expansion of acquisition
authorities, organizational realignments, delegation of
acquisition program execution to the Services, and rapid
acquisition and prototyping authorities and offices.
The conferees believe this update to the Comptroller
General's assessments is critical to assisting the defense
committees with their oversight, given the role of software and
information technology in acquisition programs and initiatives,
and the scope of recent acquisition reforms across the
Department.

from recent National Defense Authorization Acts, and an
analysis of the treatment of commercial services contracts as
compared to commercial products.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would set the
effective date of the new definitions to January 1, 2020 with a
detailed implementation plan due to the congressional defense
committees on April 1, 2019.
Limitation on applicability to Department of Defense commercial
contracts of certain provisions of law (sec. 837)

also establish a new section 2375a to limit applicability of
certain Executive Orders and regulations.

section 2533a, section 2533b, and part of section 2375 of title
10, United States Code, with the clarified definition of

(sec. 838)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that
would amend section 846 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to allow the
Administrator of the General Services Administration to develop
procedures for procurement through a commercial e-commerce

competitive procedures outlined in title 41, United States
Code. Additionally, this section would require these procedures
to be submitted to the congressional defense committees 30 days
prior to implementation. This section would also amend titles
10 and 41, United States Code, by increasing the micro-purchase
threshold for procurement through a commercial e-commerce
portal from $10,000 to $25,000.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that maintains the
micro-purchase threshold at $10,000.

commercial services, and commercially available off-the-shelf
items (sec. 839)

Removal of national interest determination requirements for certain
entities (sec. 842)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that
would streamline the National Industrial Security Program by
removing the regulatory requirements relating to National
Interest Determinations (NIDs). It would build on section 1712
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018
(Public Law 115-91), which required a review of whether certain
companies ``should be exempted from one or more of the foreign
ownership, control, or influence [FOCI] requirements of the
National Industrial Security Program.'' This section would
address NIDs as a particularly urgent problem within that set
of FOCI requirements authorized for exemption. It would also
authorize the Secretary of Defense to accelerate implementation
of this policy for contracting entities that have already
demonstrated a longstanding commitment to industrial security
and have previously been approved for access to proscribed
information.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that
would require the Department of Defense to develop and
implement a small business strategy to better leverage small
businesses as a means to enhance or support mission execution.
This section specifies that such a strategy should include
plans to integrate small businesses into a holistic view of
industry; to realign the Department's small business programs
with agency mission under a unified management structure; and
to clarify points of entry into the defense market.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that a unified strategy would create
expanded small business engagement in the defense sector by
increasing entry points for nontraditional and innovative
companies. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to
coordinate the development of the strategy with the Department
of Defense Office of Small Business Programs.
Prompt payments of small business contractors (sec. 852)

prime contractors that subcontract with small businesses, and
encourage these prime contractors to also accelerate payments
to their small business subcontractors.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that limits the
provision to the Department of Defense.
Increased participation in the Small Business Administration microloan
program (sec. 853)

would amend section 636(m) of title 15, United States Code, by
increasing the total limit on outstanding loans from $5.0
million to $6.0 million, and modifying the ratio from 25/75 to
50/50. It would also require the Administrator of the Small
Business Administration (SBA) to report on rates among
microlenders, and for the Comptroller General of the United
States to assess SBA oversight of the microloan program.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand
phase flexibility during fiscal years 2018 through 2022,
require the submission of outstanding reports and evaluations,
create a pilot program to accelerate Department of Defense SBIR
and STTR awards, direct the Comptroller General of the United
States to conduct a review of the average and median amount of

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment related to
timeframes and circumstances for definitizing orders.

would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a
budget justification for all activities conducted under the
Small Business Innovation Research Program or Small Business
Technology Transfer Program during the previous fiscal year.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct
the Secretary of Defense to report Small Business Innovation
Research Program and Small Business Technology Transfer Program
funding in a consolidated location in the annual budget
justification.
The conferees note that the Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
programs have successfully developed and transitioned many
technologies into operational use that have supported US
military technological superiority, and represent proven and
successful outreach and engagement with innovative small
businesses. The conferees believe that this provision will
enable decision makers in both Congress and the Department to
better understand the valuable role that these programs play in
overall technological innovation efforts. The conferees affirm
the well-established SBIR and STTR funding allocation mechanism
already in the program's statutory authorization which has
preserved stability for the program and contributed strongly to

The Senate recedes with clarifying and technical
amendments.
Subtitle G--Provisions Related to Software and Technical Data Matters
Validation of proprietary and technical data (sec. 865)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881)
that would amend section 2321(f) of title 10, United States
Code, to clarify the application of rights in technical data
relating to major weapons systems. This provision would also
amend section 2320 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify
the application of licensing of appropriate intellectual
property to support major weapons systems with regard to
preferences for specially negotiated licenses.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would amend only
section 2321(f) of title 10, United States Code. The conferees
note that Specially Negotiated Licenses are a new concept in
government technical data rights and are being interpreted in
many different ways by industry and government alike.
Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense
for Acquisition and Sustainment, in conjunction with the
Service Acquisition Executives, to develop guidelines,
training, and policy for the usage and application of specially
negotiated licenses to clarify the terms under which such
licenses should be used when considering a product support
strategy of a major weapon system or subsystem of a major
weapon system. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition
and Sustainment is directed to brief the resulting guidelines

procedures established by the Department of Defense, to meet
Department of Defense mission requirements and readiness needs
during the course of the challenge.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
the circumstances in which the Secretary of Defense or a
service secretary, for programs for which milestone decision
authority has been delegated, may authorize use of technical
data in dispute by issuing notice and a written determination
that compelling mission readiness requirements will not permit
awaiting the final decision.
Requirement for negotiation of technical data price before sustainment
of major weapon systems (sec. 867)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 827) that
would provide the Department of Defense with additional
flexibility on negotiations for appropriate technical data.

that would direct the Secretary of Defense to implement certain
recommendations of the Defense Science Board Task Force in
their report on the Design and Acquisition of Software for
Defense Systems.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees agree with the report's emphasis on
shifting the Department of Defense's treatment of software as
solely a development activity to understanding that it is
enduring and that, therefore, traditional models of hardware
sustainment are not suited to the treatment of software in the
acquisition process. As the Department considers how each
recommendation would be implemented, the conferees also
encourage the Department to continue to engage the private
sector for their best practices and views regarding sustainable
software acquisition approaches.
Implementation of pilot program to use agile or iterative development
methods required under section 873 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (sec. 869)

The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment to the list of
participating systems; an amendment to make criteria for
selecting program participation more permissive; an amendment
that directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment to establish a Community of Practice on agile or
iterative methods and identifies programs that should
contribute; and an amendment that directs the Secretary to
report certain information on the progress of programs
participating in the pilot.
The conferees expect the Department to attend to
compliance with Section 873 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115--91).
The conferees note that the adoption of agile or iterative
methods remains a challenge for the Department of Defense,
despite the fact that delivery of increments of useful
capability no less frequently than every six months is not only
a best practice for software-intensive systems but is also a
government-wide requirement for such systems. Further, as the
Department implements such methods, it is important to ensure
good principles of management and oversight are incorporated.
In particular, given how frequently programs should be
delivering features, having insight to costs and capability
delivered is critical to understanding risk and overall return
on investment.

the categories and threshold applicable in the provision. The
conferees note that, in order to balance effective oversight
with reasonable expenditure of resources, the Government
Accountability Office is expected to develop a methodological
approach that will provide sufficient insight into the extent
to which lowest price technically acceptable source selection
criteria are used by executive agencies, without requiring a
review of each individual instance in which such criteria are
used.
Permanent Supply Chain Risk Management Authority (sec. 881)

The House recedes.
Review of market research (sec. 882)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802)
that would amend section 2431a of title 10, United States Code,
to define the market research requirement of major defense
acquisition program acquisition strategies. This provision is
intended to improve the Department of Defense's capacity to
conduct market research by diversifying the sources and methods
used.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment
to conduct a review of market research guidance and practices.
The conferees note that a growing share of the
Department's spending is on information technology products and
services and believes robust market research is critical to
acquisition planning. The conferees believe that sufficient
attention is not being given to market research and are
concerned that the Department's sources of data for market
research are limited and lack diversity.
The conferees therefore encourage the Department's
contracting officers to use commercially available detailed
third-party market research, which should include any
disclosures of a third-party's interests and which should be
considered by contracting officers in the context of all
available data sources, to ensure that they have the best and
most complete information available in developing and executing
their acquisition strategies.
Establishment of integrated review team on defense acquisition
industry-government exchange (sec. 883)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 842)
that would direct the Chairman of the Defense Business Board to
convene an integrated review team with members of the Defense
Innovation Board and Defense Science Board to undertake a study
on the exchange of defense industry personnel on term
assignments within the Department. The study shall review: (1)
Legal, ethical, and financial disclosure requirements for
industry-government exchanges; (2) Existing or previous
industry-government exchange programs; and (3) How the military
departments address legal, ethical, and financial requirements
for reserve component servicemembers who also maintain civilian
employment in the defense industry. The team shall also produce
recommendations to reduce barriers to industry-government
exchange while ensuring financial and ethical integrity to
protect the best interests of the Department.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Exchange program for acquisition workforce employees (sec. 884)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish an
exchange program that would temporarily assign civilian
personnel working in the defense acquisition workforce, as
defined by chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code, to a
rotational program that would broaden the skills and expertise
of participants and improve communication within and
integration of the acquisition community.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Process to limit foreign access to technology (sec. 885)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 820)
that would authorize the Under Secretary of Defense for
Research and Engineering to include in the terms of any
contract provisions that would limit access by select persons
or organizations to sensitive technology, and authorize the
potential forfeit of intellectual property rights if these
terms were violated.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the
authority to include these limitations in the terms of any
contract and instead directs the Secretary of Defense to
develop a process and procedures for limiting access to
technology through contracts, grants, cooperative agreements,
or other transactions, when such limitation is in the interest
of national security.
Procurement of telecommunications supplies for experimental purposes
(sec. 886)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 894)
that would ensure the Director, Operational Test and
Evaluation, and other developmental testing organizations be
given access to all data associated with certain modeling and
simulation activities supporting the acquisition of military
capabilities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Access by developmental and operational testing activities to data
regarding modeling and simulation activity (sec. 887)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 895)
that would ensure the Director, Operational Test and
Evaluation, and other developmental testing organizations be
given access to all data associated with modeling and
simulation activities supporting the acquisition of military
capabilities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that modeling and simulation tools and
activities are critical to reducing risk in technology
development initiatives and acquisition programs.
The conferees note the use of modeling and simulation to
reduce risk in operational or live fire test and evaluation is
especially relevant when operational conditions are difficult
or expensive to replicate in testing certain military
capabilities, such as: performance of systems in space,
intercept capability of ballistic missile defense systems, and
a ship's ability to withstand shocks.
The conferees also note that given the increasing use of
software-driven capabilities, modeling and simulation is also
beneficial during developmental testing and evaluation,
including modeling and simulating complex cyber threats to
facilitate accurate assessments of security features.
The conferees understand that Department of Defense
policies require models to be verified, validated, and
accredited in order to be deemed effective at reducing risk and
cost, as well as to improve understanding and predictability of
system performance.
The conferees are concerned that despite these Department
policies, programs and initiatives are using models in lieu of
real world testing, even though they have not been verified,
validated, and accredited.
Accordingly, this provision would direct developmental
and operational test organizations be given access to all data
associated with verification, validation, and accreditation of
modeling and simulation activities to ensure development,
production, and fielding decisions that depend on outcomes from
such activities are fully informed.
The conferees also urge the Department to continue
efforts to improve the quality and fidelity of computer models
for use in test and evaluation activities.
Instruction on pilot program regarding employment of persons with
disabilities (sec. 888)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5801)
that would direct the Secretary of Defense to update the
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulatory Supplement to include an
instruction on the pilot program regarding employment of
persons with disabilities authorized under section 853 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Prohibition on certain telecommunications and video surveillance
services or equipment (sec. 889)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 880) that
would provide that, not later than January 1, 2021, no
government agency may procure or obtain, nor extend or renew a
contract to procure or obtain, nor enter into a contract with
an entity that uses covered telecommunications equipment or
services with any covered entity. The covered equipment would
encompass telecommunications and video surveillance products
and services provided by Hauwei Technologies Company, ZTE
Corporation, Hytera Communications Corporation, Hikvision
Digital Technology Company, or Hahua Technology Company, or any
company that the head of a relevant Federal agency reasonably
believes is controlled by the government of the Peoples
Republic of China.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
6702) that would prohibit by the heads of Federal agencies
procurement of telecommunications equipment or services from
Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation, any subsidiary
or affiliate of such entities, or any entity controlled by the
government of the People's Republic of China. The provision
would also prohibit entry into a contract with any entity that
uses equipment, as a critical component of any system, from
Huawei Technologies Company, the ZTE Corporation, any
subsidiary or affiliate of such entities, or any entity
controlled by the government of the People's Republic of China.
The provision would prohibit the modification of any penalty
implemented by the United States Government with respect to a
Chinese telecommunications company upon a determination that
the company has violated an export control or sanctions law
until the President certifies to the appropriate congressional
committees that the company is compliant and cooperative with
US laws and related investigations. The provision would also
reinstate penalties imposed on ZTE on April 15, 2018 by the
Acting Assistant Secretary of the Commerce for Export
Enforcement and would limit the future modification of such
penalties.
The House recedes with an amendment that would not
prohibit modification of penalties nor re-impose penalties on
the ZTE Corporation, clarify the applicable timelines and
waivers, and require the heads of executive agencies
administering loan, grant, or subsidy programs to prioritize
available funding and technical support to assist affected
businesses, institutions and organizations as is reasonably
necessary for those affected entities to transition from
covered communications equipment and services, to procure
replacement equipment and services, and to ensure that
communications services to users and customers is sustained.
The conferees stress the importance of assisting rural
communications service providers, anchor institutions, and
public safety organizations in replacing covered equipment and
associated support services contracts as soon as practicable.
Pilot program to accelerate contracting and pricing processes (sec.
890)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 833)
that would establish a pilot program for the Secretary of
Defense to reform and accelerate the contracting and pricing
processes associated with major weapons systems programs
through basing price reasonableness determinations on actual
cost and pricing data for purchases of the same or similar
products for the Department of Defense and reducing the cost
and pricing data to be submitted in accordance with section
2306a of title 10, United States Code. This authority would
expire on January 2, 2021.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the
pilot to ten contracts not classified as major defense
acquisition programs and require a report to the congressional
defense committee on the results of the pilot no later than
January 30, 2021.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Comptroller General of the United States report on progress payment
financing of Department of Defense contracts

the enactment of this Act, to the congressional defense
committees on the results of an analysis of the effects of
current financing levels of defense contracts on defense
contractors and Defense budgets.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the
United States to submit to the congressional defense
committees, no later than 180 days after the date of enactment
of this Act, a report on the results of an analysis of the
effects of current financing levels of Department of Defense
contracts on contractors of the Department and the budgets of
the Department to include an analysis and assessment of the
impact to government and business on the relationship between
financing amounts and contractor profit and the willingness of
contractors to pursue contracts with the Department. The
assessment should take into consideration past changes to
progress payment rates and conditions as well as progress
payment rates and limitations on progressing for undefinitized
contract actions.
Contract goal for the AbilityOne program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that
would amend section 2323a of title 10, United States Code, to
create a contract goal for the AbilityOne program of 1.5
percent. This section would also require the Secretary of
Defense to submit an annual report to the U.S. AbilityOne
Commission on progress made toward achieving said contract
goal.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the AbilityOne program must have
policies and procedures in place to ensure that funding is used
in a way that maximizes the benefits to the people it is
intended to serve and that taxpayer funds are not wasted.
Recognizing this, in 2015 the Congress directed the
establishment of an AbilityOne Inspector General, and in 2016
Congress directed the establishment of a Panel on Department of
Defense, and AbilityOne Contracting, Oversight, Accountability,
and Integrity. The conferees note that both the Inspector
General and the Panel are generating findings and
recommendations for needed reforms and expect the AbilityOne
Commission to take appropriate steps in the future to increase
transparency and effectiveness of the program.
Sense of Congress on awarding of contracts to responsible companies
that primarily employ American workers and do not actively
transfer American jobs to potential adversaries

The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense should
award contracts to responsible companies that primarily employ
United States workers or are partners in the national
technology and industrial base and do not actively transfer
United States jobs to potential adversaries.
Preference for offerors employing veterans
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that
would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, by
adding a new section that would authorize the head of an
agency, in awarding a contract for the procurement of goods and
services for the Department of Defense, to establish a
preference for offerors that employ veterans on a full-time
basis, with criteria for use of such preference determined by
the Secretary of Defense.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

Removal of requirement for risk and sensitivity analysis of baseline
estimates in Selected Acquisition Reports
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 872) that
would amend section 2432(c)(1)(B) of title 10, United States
Code, by removing the requirement for risk and sensitivity
analysis to be included with baseline estimates in selected
acquisition reports.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that quantitative and qualitative risk
and sensitivity analyses help decision-makers to identify cost
drivers and understand the effects of changing variables on
cost estimates. The National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) required that a program's
baseline cost estimate, along with the associated risk curve
and sensitivity of that estimate, be provided in the quarterly
selected acquisition reports. In addition, it required that the
reports include the current point estimate bounded by the low-
end and high-end estimates and the associated sensitivity of
those estimates, and identification of the primary risk
parameters associated with the estimate. The conferees note
that these requirements are intended to promote use of
relatively commonplace data and statistical analysis techniques
that are well understood by most practitioners. However, the
conferees understand that this language has been interpreted by
Department of Defense officials as requiring analysis of the
sensitivity of the information in a security context for
selected acquisition reports, resulting in unwarranted barriers
to dissemination. The conferees direct the Department of
Defense to comply with all legal requirements relating to
contents of selected acquisition reports, noting the
clarification of intent above. Further, the conferees direct
the Department to avoid labeling selected acquisition reports
as ``For Official Use Only'' unless the specific justification
for such restrictive markings is provided to the Congress for
each individual report.
Transfer or possession of defense items for national defense purposes
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 874) that
would amend sections 922 and 925 of title 18, United States
Code, to allow joint production, integration, and calibration
of military-grade hardware by licensed contractors, transfers
of defense items to government customers, and export of
authorized weapons to foreign governments.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Expedited hiring authority for shortage category positions in the
acquisition workforce
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 875) that
would expand and extend direct-hire authority for acquisition
professionals.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Sense of Congress regarding steel produced in the United States
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 887) that
would provide a sense of Congress regarding steel produced in
the United States.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that a strong domestic iron ore and
steel industry is vital to the national security of the United
States.
Permanent SBIR and STTR authority for the Department of Defense
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 893)
that would amend section 638 of title 15, United States Code,
to provide a permanent authority for the Small Business
Innovation Research program (SBIR) and the Small Business
Technology Transfer program (STTR) in the Department of
Defense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management
Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Defense and Related Matters
Report on allocation of former responsibilities of the Under Secretary
of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (sec.
901)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 904)
that would direct the Secretary of Defense to report on
decisions taken as part of the reorganization of the Office of
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics to allocate the responsibilities that are referenced
in United States Code.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Modification of responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for
Policy (sec. 902)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 903)
that would modify the responsibilities of the Under Secretary
of Defense for Policy to include greater oversight of defense
strategy and planning guidance in alignment with the National
Defense Strategy (NDS). These modifications would encompass the
preparation and development of policy guidance for campaign and
contingency plans by the combatant commands, as well as the
oversight and integration of strategic documents such as the
National Security Strategy (NSS) and the Defense Planning
Guidance (DPG).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would further
refine the responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense
for Policy including a clarification of its role in providing
joint force requirements guidance through the Defense Planning
Guidance. Furthermore, the Under Secretary, in coordination
with the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation and
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, would develop
planning scenarios for the future joint environments to use in
assessments and the development of specific objectives for
joint force capabilities (both capacity and readiness).
The conferees recognize the importance of the Under
Secretary of Defense in developing strategy and providing
associated policy guidance for force development, planning, and
posture. However, deteriorating policy functions in areas such
as joint force assessments have led to shortcomings in resource
allocation and prioritization efforts. In turn, this can
exacerbate capability gaps and lead to the erosion of U.S.
military superiority. In light of these trends, the conferees
urge the Department to clearly define the Under Secretary of
Defense primary functions as well as integrate its critical
responsibilities with the priorities outlined in the 2018
National Defense Strategy.
Clarification of responsibilities and duties of the Chief Information
Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 903)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 906)
that would clarify the responsibilities and duties of the Chief
Information Officer (CIO) of the Department of Defense by
specifically delineating its authorities from those assigned to
the Chief Management Officer (CMO) in the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
Section 910 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) designated the CMO as the
CIO of the Department for the purposes of Defense business
systems (10 U.S.C. 2222). The provision assigned the CMO the
responsibility of administering the duties and responsibilities
specified in sections 11315 and 11319 of title 40, section
3506(a)(2) of title 44, and section 2223(a) of title 10 for
business systems and management. The provision also assigned
the CMO with any responsibilities, duties, and powers relating
to business systems or management that are exercisable by a

Offices and Elements

command and functions of the Department of the Navy (sec. 911)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 905) that
would amend section 5013 of title 10, United States Code, to
require the Secretary of the Navy to designate a single
commander within the Department of the Navy responsible for
ensuring Navy forces are available for tasking and deployment,
including those Navy forces that may be operating from a
forward deployed location. This provision would also require

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 921)
that would clarify the strategic planning role of the Chairman

the specific direction regarding exercising and, if
appropriate, fielding joint concept assessments in support of

The conferees note that not all capability gaps can, or
should, be addressed by procurement or addition of end-
strength. Expanding joint force concept development efforts
should enable the Department of Defense to better meet the

that would create qualification criteria for military

enterprise in the private sector.

The House recedes.
The conferees note that these desired qualifications are
intended to be a guide for the military departments to recruit
the best possible private and public sector managerial talent
with requisite expertise.
Deadline for completion of full implementation of requirements in
connection with organization of the Department of Defense for
management of special operations forces and special operations
(sec. 917)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 926)
that would require full implementation of the reforms contained
in section 922 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) not later than 90 days
after enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that section 922 of Public Law 114-328
included a number of reforms designed to empower the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity
Conflict (ASD SOLIC) to act as the ``service secretary-like''
civilian responsible for exercising ``authority, direction and
control of all special operations-peculiar administrative
matters relating to the organization, training, and equipping
of special operations forces (SOF).'' However, the conferees
are concerned that, despite passage of Public Law 114-328 more
than 20 months ago, the implementation of the reforms contained
in section 922 remain incomplete.
The conferees further note that section 922 established a
new administrative chain of command to facilitate the exercise
of these responsibilities that runs from the Commander of U.S.
Special Operations Command (SOCOM) through the ASD SOLIC to the
Secretary of Defense, thereby mirroring the relationship
between the Secretary of Defense and the service secretaries.
This reform was, in part, intended to address the fact that the
ASD SOLIC's organizational location within the office of the
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (USD(P)) has resulted in
the ASD SOLIC dedicating the preponderance of their time and
resources to policy and operational issues, at the expense of
their ``service secretary-like'' responsibilities. The
conferees understand the Department continues to work towards
full implementation of this administrative chain of command,
but reiterate their intent that the ASD SOLIC is empowered to
act independent of the USD(P) in fulfillment of their ``service
secretary-like'' responsibilities related to the organization,
training, and equipping of special operations forces. This
administrative chain of command is not intended to impact the
relationship between the ASD SOLIC and USD(P) on policy matters
relating to the employment of special operations forces and
related authorities.
The conferees also recognize that current civilian
manpower within the ASD SOLIC is not sufficient to fulfill the
``service secretary-like'' responsibilities for the advocacy
and oversight of SOF mandated by Congress. The conferees note
that, elsewhere in this Act, there is a provision requiring
that, of the funds authorized in Operation & Maintenance,
Defense-wide for U.S. Special Operations Command civilian
personnel, not less than $4 million shall be used to fund
additional civilian personnel in or directly supporting the ASD
SOLIC Secretariat for Special Operations. This provision would
also exempt these additional personnel from the overall
personnel caps on the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The
conferees believe this is an appropriate model for adequately
staffing the ASD SOLIC Secretariat for Special Operations. The
conferees encourage the Department to request adequate funding
in future years and to propose legislative or other
recommendations that would facilitate adequate staffing of the
ASD SOLIC Secretariat for Special Operations.
Cross-functional teams in the Department of Defense (sec. 918)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 925)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish three
cross-functional teams (CFTs) as directed in section 911 of the
National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017 (Public
Law 114-328) and would require the Deputy Secretary of Defense
to establish or designate an office as the Office of Primary
Responsibility for implementing section 911.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that limits the
statutory establishment of CFTs to one: the CFT for electronic
warfare, which the Department itself has not yet created.
In addition to the team established within this
provision, the conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to
designate the ongoing teams on personnel security and close
combat lethality as CFTs under section 911 of the National
Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328). The conferees stress that this designation should only be
made in the event it does not require any changes in either of
the ongoing efforts' organization, management, authorities,
mission, or activities. In that regard, the conferees note that
these teams already have the characteristics and meet the
requirements of CFTs established in law by section 911. The
conferees remain committed to monitoring the implementation of
section 911 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal
Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
Limitation on transfer of the Chemical, Biological, and Radiological
Defense Division of the Navy (sec. 919)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 922) that
would require the Secretary of the Navy to provide a report to
the congressional defense committees on the timeline, costs,
risks, and benefits of transferring the Chemical, Biological,
and Radiological Defense Division in Dahlgren, Virginia, to
another location.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
The conferees note the Chemical, Biological, and
Radiological Defense Division of the Navy, currently based at
the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia,
consists of a highly effective team of scientists performing
critical work for the United States. The Secretary of the Navy
has notified Congress of the intent to transfer the division to
another location, however, the Secretary has not provided
Congress with a detailed cost benefit analysis or any other
information that adequately justifies the proposed transfer of
the division.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

datasets to promote savings and efficiencies (sec. 922)

of these previously non-public datasets under that policy.

the portions of the provision related to the Defense
Information Systems Agency and the Washington Headquarters
Service, and amend the review of efficiency and effectiveness.

Logistics Agency (sec. 924)

information in the hands of industry (sec. 1048)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1046) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish and
implement a foreign ownership, control, or influence program
for Department of Defense controlled unclassified information
in the hands of industry. The Secretary would be required to
act to ensure that prior to any company receiving controlled
unclassified information or classified information, or becoming
a cleared defense contractor, the company would have to report
to the Secretary any foreign direction or controlling interest
in the company or any access to intellectual property relating
to classified information or controlled unclassified
information. The Secretary would also be required to make a
determination on the basis of such a company's report whether
the company should receive such information due to a risk to
national security and whether such risk can be mitigated.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to establish and implement a pilot
program for oversight of designated Department of Defense
controlled unclassified information in the hands of defense
contractors with foreign ownership, control, or influence
concerns. The conferees are aware that foreign intelligence
services are aggressively targeting defense contractors to
obtain both classified and unclassified defense information.
The conferees expect the department to apply appropriate
protections to both classified and controlled unclassified
information in the hands of industry. The conferees also
acknowledge the importance of compliance with sound cyber

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1050A) that
would require the establishment of an independent Commission to
review advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning
with national security implications.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the importance of maintaining a
technological advantage in artificial intelligence and
associated technologies related to national security and
defense. While technological developments in these areas are
critical, it is also vital to assess the implications of the
incorporation of artificial intelligence into future defense
applications and the risks associated with foreign adversary
advances in military employment of artificial intelligence and
machine learning, including international law of armed
conflict, humanitarian law, ethical guidelines, and escalation
dynamics.

of the Department of Defense (DOD), and to submit that plan in
the form of a report. It would also require a briefing on
essential topics and functions of the Department's JEMSO
enterprise.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1032) that would establish a senior designated official and an
associated cross-functional team to update DOD's June 2017
Electronic Warfare strategy and submit it, along with a road
map of the referenced requirements and plans. The road map
would include: (1) The efforts undertaken in support of the
2017 DOD Electronic Warfare strategy and any updates or changes
to the strategy since its issuance; (2) A review of the
vulnerabilities identified in the May 2015 Electronic Warfare
assessment; (3) An assessment of the capability of the joint
force to conduct joint electromagnetic spectrum operations
against peer competitors; and (4) A description of actions,
performance metrics, projected timelines for achieving key
capabilities for electronic warfare and joint electromagnetic
spectrum operations.
The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the
roles and responsibilities of the senior designated official.
It would also update the reporting requirements to include an
assessment of the electronic warfare capabilities of Russia and
China, a review of U.S. vulnerabilities with respect to
electronic systems, and a study of the manner in which Russia
and China develop electronic warfare doctrine. The amendment
would also strengthen the capacity of the senior designated
official and the Electronic Warfare Executive Committee to
propose governance, management, organizational, and operational
reforms to the Secretary of Defense.
The conferees note the operational advantages provided by
electronic warfare and cyber capabilities and expects the
Department to dedicate additional resources to the problem set.
The conferees remain concerned that electronic and cyber
warfare are two warfighting areas where our peer adversaries,
such as China and Russia, are establishing significant
asymmetric advantages and the conferees urge swift action by
the Department's leadership to regain United States superiority
in these warfighting areas.
The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in
coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to
provide the congressional defense committees a briefing not
later than February 25, 2019, on: (1) An update on the progress
of the Department in implementing the pilot program authorized
by section 234 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 10 U.S.C. 113 note); (2)
The progress of the Department in establishing a network to
connect an electromagnetic battle management system to multiple
sensor and intelligence data feeds to implement electronic
warfare battle management for networked electronic warfare and
dynamic reprogramming with automated near real-time
capabilities, and (3) The number of personnel assigned to joint
electromagnetic spectrum operations mission activities. The
personnel information should include officers, enlisted
members, and civilian personnel, set forth separately by career
field designator and rank for each military service, combatant
command, and defense agency. It should also include a
comparison of commissioned officer promotion rates, by grade,
as compared to the average promotion rates for commissioned
officers, by grade, in each military service, over the five
most recent promotion cycles that have been completed since the
end of fiscal year 2018.
Subtitle E--Studies and Reports
Annual reports by the Armed Forces on Out-Year Unconstrained Total
Munitions Requirements and Out-Year inventory numbers (sec.
1061)

that would amend title 10 to require the Services provide an
annual report to the Congress detailing the Armed Forces'
annual total munitions requirements and out-year munitions
inventory numbers. The details of the report would be based on
the Department of Defense's munitions requirements process.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Improvement of annual report on civilian casualties in connection with
United States military operations (sec. 1062)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that
would amend section 1057(b)(2) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to
include an annual reporting requirement on civilian casualties
in connection with U.S. military operations.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1046) that would amend section 1057 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to
clarify annual reporting requirements on civilian casualties in
connection with United States military operations.
The House recedes.
Report on capabilities and capacities of Armored Brigade Combat Teams
(sec. 1063)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1045)
that would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report
on the capabilities and capacities of Armored Brigade Combat
Teams.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Activities and reporting related to Department of Defense's Cloud
Initiative (sec. 1064)
The House bill contained a provision that would prohibit
certain funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act from
being obligated or expended for the Joint Enterprise Defense
Infrastructure until the Secretary of Defense provides a report
to the congressional defense committees on the Joint Enterprise
Defense Infrastructure.
The Senate amendment contained a provision that would
direct the Cloud Executive Steering Group to execute certain
activities enabling the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure
such as securing networks and conducting workload migration
analysis. The Senate amendment also contained a limitation on
new system and application approvals unless an assessment that
such system is, can, or would be cloud-hosted. Additionally,
the Senate amendment contained a provision providing for
transparency and competition.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that lowers the
prohibition on certain funds, provides for a waiver on the new
system and application approval, and directs the Chief
Information Officer of the Department of Defense (DOD), acting
through the Cloud Executive Steering Group, to conduct certain
activities enabling DOD's cloud initiatives.
The conferees have long championed modernization of
information technology throughout DOD agencies, services, and
other entities to facilitate efficiencies, cost-savings,
enhance performance, and to provide our warfighters with
cutting-edge capabilities on and off the battlefield. The
conferees emphasize the importance of modernizing networks by
adopting advancing commercial capabilities to achieve DOD's
cloud transition and enterprise efficiency goals. Further, the
conferees believe that workload analysis is critical to
understanding migration feasibility and costs. Especially where
barriers stem from technical, intellectual property, and data
rights issues that are poorly understood, such barriers may
fundamentally limit the potential utility of commercial cloud
services to the Department.
The conferees encourage the Department to continue to
ensure that cloud technologies are technically suitable,
appropriately tested for security and reliability, and
integrated with other DOD information technology efforts so as
to optimize effective and efficient procurement of such
technologies and services and their performance in support of
DOD missions.
Finally, the conferees note that although transparency
and information sharing by the Department on the Cloud
Initiative has slightly improved, it continues to be
insufficient for conducting congressional oversight. The
conferees expect the Department to improve communication with
Congress on this issue and will consider additional legislation
if an improvement is not seen.
Limitation on use of funds for United States Special Operations Command
Global Messaging and Counter-Messaging platform (sec. 1065)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1054) that
would limit the availability of funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act, or otherwise made available for
fiscal year 2019, until the Secretary of Defense provides a
report to the congressional defense committees on the United
States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Global Messaging and
Counter-Messaging (GMCM) platform.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1033)
that would prohibit the use of any funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act for the SOCOM GMCM platform until the
Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense
committees a report containing detailed information relating to
the platform and SOCOM's military information support
enterprise.
The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit
the use of any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act
for SOCOM's GMCM platform until the Secretary of Defense
submits to the congressional defense committees a report
containing detailed information relating to the platform. The
conferees understand that the Secretary of Defense identified
SOCOM as the Department of Defense's (DOD) proponent for
military information support operations (MISO) and directed the
establishment of a centralized GMCM platform at SOCOM. Given
SOCOM's transregional approach to matters within its purview,
the conferees believe the command is positioned to play an
important role in supporting the GMCM activities of the other
combatant commands by enabling facilities and contracting
efficiencies, the capture and adoption of best practices, and
messaging consistency across geographic boundaries. However,
the budget request lacks sufficient detail on the plan for
establishment of the GMCM capability, including the
identification of budget, infrastructure and equipment
requirements for the platform to reach full operational
capability as well as an identification of long-term
sustainment costs. Additionally, the conferees require greater
understanding of how GMCM planning and activities will be de-
conflicted and, where possible, integrated with the planning
and activities of the combatant commands as well as other
relevant departments and agencies of the United States
Government, including the Department of State's Global
Engagement Center.
The amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense
not later than 9 months after the date of the enactment of this
Act to submit to the congressional defense committees a report
containing a review and assessment of the doctrine,
organization, training, materiel, leadership and education,
personnel, and facilities applicable to military information
support personnel and recommend changes for enhancing the
ability of military information support personnel to operate
effectively in the current and future information environment.

operations forces (sec. 1066)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1055) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Secretaries of the military departments, to conduct a
comprehensive review of the ethics and professionalism programs
of the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and the military
departments for officers and other military personnel serving
in special operations forces. This section would require the
Secretary of Defense to submit the review to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
by March 1, 2019.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to conduct a comprehensive review of
the ethics programs and professionalism programs of SOCOM and
of the military departments for officers and other military
personnel serving in special operations forces and submit the
review to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives by March 1, 2019.
Munitions assessments and future-years defense program requirements
(sec. 1067)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1056) that
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition
and Sustainment to provide all relevant documents related to
the Department of Defense's munitions requirements process, as
well as provide the planned funding and munitions requirements
required for fiscal year 2020 and across the Future Years
Defense Program for munitions across all military services and
the Missile Defense Agency. This section would also require the
Under Secretary to evaluate and identify supply chain risks,
including qualified supplier shortages or single source
supplier vulnerabilities for munitions production.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Report on establishment of Army Futures Command (sec. 1068)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1057) that
would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report on
the Army's plan for the establishment of Army Futures Command.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1061) that
would require the President to provide to the Committees on
Armed Services and Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives and the Committees on Armed Services and
Foreign Relations of the Senate a report, not later than 180
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, on the
effects of cyber-enabled information operations on the national
security of the United States.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Report on unmanned aircraft in Arlington National Cemetery (sec. 1070)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1062) that

Relinquishment of legislative jurisdiction of criminal offenses on
military installations
The Senate amendment included a provision (sec. 1035)
that would, in the case of any military installation or portion
of a military installation of which exclusive legislative
jurisdiction of criminal offenses committed by juveniles is
retained by the United States as of the date of the enactment

possession concerned legislative jurisdiction of such offenses
such that the United States and the State, Commonwealth,
territory, or possession would have concurrent legislative
jurisdiction of such offenses.
The House bill included no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees are concerned about the lack of State or
local criminal jurisdiction over offenses committed on those
portions of military installations with exclusive Federal
jurisdiction by individuals not subject to the Uniform Code of
Military Justice. Therefore, the conferees direct service
secretaries to seek to relinquish jurisdiction pursuant to
section 2683 of title 10, United States Code, such that the
United States and the State, Commonwealth, territory, or
possession would have concurrent jurisdiction over offenses
committed on these military installations. Not later than 15
months after the date of enactment of this act, each service
secretary shall submit a report to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the
relinquishment of jurisdiction. The report shall include the
following pertaining to military installations under the
jurisdiction of the Secretary: (1) A list of the installations
or portions of installations where jurisdiction was
relinquished pursuant to this directive; (2) A list of the
installations or portions of installations where the Secretary
offered to relinquish jurisdiction, but the State,
Commonwealth, territory, or possession declined to accept the
relinquishment of jurisdiction; (3) A list of the installations
or portions of installations where the Secretary elected not to
seek relinquishment of jurisdiction and the reason for not
seeking such relinquishment; and (4) A complete list of the
installations or portions of installations of which the United
States continues to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over
criminal offenses as of the date of the report.
For juvenile offenses committed on portions of military
installations where concurrent jurisdiction exists, the
conferees strongly urge that jurisdiction over individual cases
involving juveniles be relinquished only where the State,
Commonwealth, territory, or possession concerned has procedures
under which cases involving juvenile offenders can be
adjudicated in a juvenile proceeding unless the offense is of
sufficient gravity that adjudication as an adult is
appropriate. Additionally, the conferees encourage the military
command and the entity exercising jurisdiction over juveniles
to seek to avoid unnecessary separation of juveniles from
parents or legal guardians.

that the Secretary believes are over-burdensome or overcome by
other requirements. Such report should include the Secretary's

328).

States.
Participation in and support of the Inter-American Defense College
(sec. 1207)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1205) that
would permit the Secretary of Defense to authorize members of
the Armed Forces and civilian personnel of the Department of
Defense (DOD) to participate in the operation of and the
provision of support to the Inter-American Defense College
(IADC) and provide logistic support, supplies, and services to
the College as the Secretary considers necessary. The provision
would also require the Secretary, in concurrence with the
Secretary of State, to enter into a memorandum of understanding
with the Inter-American Defense Board regarding the operation
and provision of host nation support to the IADC. Additionally,
the provision would permit the use of funds appropriated for
operation and maintenance to pay the costs for DOD personnel in
the operation and provision of host nation support to the IADC.
It would also include a waiver for reimbursement for developing
countries for the costs of funding and other host nation
support to the IADC if the Secretary determines that it is in
the national security interests of the United States.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School (sec. 1208)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1207)
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to operate and
maintain the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical
Training School.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Expansion of Regional Defense Combating Terrorism Fellowship Program to
include irregular warfare (sec. 1209)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1203)
that would amend section 354 of title 10, United States Code
and expand the Regional Defense Combating Terrorism Fellowship
Program to include irregular warfare.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Modification to Department of Defense State Partnership Program (sec.
1210)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1202)
that would make a technical modification to section 341(b)(2)
of title 10, United States Code to clarify the conditions under
which vetting pursuant to section 362, title 10, United States
Code, is required for the conduct of Department of Defense
State Partnership Program activities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Assessment, monitoring, and evaluation of security cooperation (sec.
1211)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 346) that
would designate $12.0 million of funds available for the
Defense Security Cooperation Agency toward assessment,
monitoring, and evaluation (AM&E) of security cooperation
activities in accordance with section 383 of title 10, United
States Code.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that states that of
the amounts for Operations and Maintenance, Defense-wide made
available to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency for fiscal
year 2019, it is the goal that not less than $12.0 million, but
in no event less than $6.0 million, shall be allocated for the
AM&E of security cooperation activities in accordance with
section 383 of title 10, United States Code. The conferees
believe that the amount specifically identified in the fiscal
year 2019 budget request for AM&E of security cooperation
programs is wholly insufficient to meet congressional intent.
The significant growth of security cooperation capacity
building programs and associated funding in recent years has
far outpaced the Department's emphasis on and resourcing of
AM&E of those programs. The conferees reiterate their
expectation that the Department's AM&E program should be
rigorous and comprehensive, and provide for the continuous
review of security cooperation programs from inception to
completion that measure outcomes against defined objectives.
Additionally, an effective AM&E program will provide important
lessons learned that will be critical to improving the
effectiveness and efficiency of subsequent security cooperation
efforts. The conferees expect the Department to allocate
sufficient resourcing to accomplish these objectives in fiscal
year 2019 and in future budget requests.
Further, the amendment would limit the availability of
funds for activities under section 333 of title 10, United
States Code, until the Secretary of Defense submits a written
plan including a description of the activities planned for
fiscal year 2019 for the evaluation of security cooperation
programs across the security cooperation enterprise, including
through chapter 16 of title 10, United States Code, the
Afghanistan Security Forces Fund, the Counter-ISIL Fund, the
cooperative threat reduction program, and other security
cooperation authorities as appropriate; and a description of
the activities planned for fiscal year 2019 for the training,
support, and organization of the Department to effectively
carry out responsibilities under section 383 of title 10,
United States Code.
Legal and policy review of advise, assist, and accompany missions (sec.
1212)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1205)
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy
and the General Counsel of the Department of Defense, in
coordination with the appropriate combatant commands, not later
than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, to
submit to the congressional defense committees a report on a
review of the legal and policy frameworks associated with
advise, assist, and accompany missions by United States
military personnel.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act
the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, in coordination with
the General Counsel of the Department of Defense and the
commanders of the appropriate combatant commands, to conduct a
review of the legal and policy frameworks associated with
advise, assist, and accompany missions by United States
military personnel and submit to the Secretary of Defense a
report on the results of such review. The amendment would also
require that not later than 30 days after the date on which the
Secretary receives the required report, the Secretary shall
submit to the congressional defense committees the report
together with any comments by the Secretary that amplify or
clarify the report.
Extension and modification of authority to support border security
operations of certain foreign countries (sec. 1213)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1204)
that would amend section 1226 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as
amended, by authorizing the Secretary of Defense to provide
support on a reimbursable basis to the Government of Oman and
Government of Pakistan for the purposes of supporting and
enhancing efforts of the armed forces of Oman and Pakistan to
increase and sustain security along the borders of Yemen and
Afghanistan, respectively. The provision would also require
quarterly reports on the use of this authority and would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 15 days
prior to the provision of support under this authority to any
country that has not previously received with information and a
certification regarding the use of the authority. Finally, the
provision would extend this authority through December 31,
2021.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Framework for obtaining concurrence for participation in activities of
regional centers for security studies (sec. 1214)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that
would amend section 342 of title 10, United States Code, to
clarify that travel, transportation, and subsistence expenses
are included among the costs of activities of the Regional
Centers eligible for waiver of reimbursement.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act
the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary
of State, to establish and submit to appropriate congressional
committees a Memorandum of Agreement or similar arrangement
setting forth a framework for the procedures required between
the Department of Defense and the Department of State to obtain
the concurrence of the Secretary of State, as required by law
or policy, to allow non-defense and non-governmental personnel
of friendly foreign countries to participate in activities of
the Department of Defense Regional Centers for Security
Studies. The conferees expect the framework to include elements
that streamline procedures for concurrence, delegate approval
to the lowest practicable level, require measures to issue
concurrence decisions within 14 days unless there are
extenuating circumstances, and provide for procedures for rapid
consideration of alternate attendees.
Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan and Pakistan
Extension of authority to transfer defense articles and provide defense
services to the military and security forces of Afghanistan
(sec. 1221)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that
would extend for two years the authority to transfer defense
articles being drawn down in the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan and the authority to provide defense services
regarding such transfers to the military and security forces of
Afghanistan.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1213) that would extend the authority to transfer defense
articles for one year.
The Senate recedes.
Extension and modification of reporting requirements for special
immigrant visas for Afghan allies program (sec. 1222)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1214)
that would renew a reporting requirement under the Afghan
Allies Protection Act of 2009 to assess the health of the
Special Afghan Immigrant Visa (SIV) application process and
identify any delays in orderly visa processing.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees are concerned by reports that the SIV
application process continues to suffer from inadequate
interagency coordination which has resulted in undue delay,
needless stress on applicants, and a sizable drop in SIV
admissions this year.
The conferees note the critical work performed by Afghan
partners in support of United States and coalition efforts and
the importance of sustaining the SIV program. In all operations
the military depends on robust and trustworthy relationships
with local partners. If the United States wishes to achieve
success in current and future operations overseas, it must
protect those who help enable that success. Local partners in
other potential conflict zones are watching how the United
States treats its networks in Afghanistan; the policies and
practices used there will influence confidence and loyalties
elsewhere when supporters are needed. As the United States
continues to protect its interests around the world, it will
need the assistance of willing partners. Ensuring the SIV
program is effectively managed and resourced is one way to
communicate America's steadfast commitment to our partners.
Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (sec. 1223)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1211)
that would extend the authority to continue certain established
provisions applicable to the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund
(ASFF), including the use of funds, transfer authority, and
acceptance of contributions to provide assistance to the
security forces of the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of
Interior of Afghanistan, including the provision of equipment,
supplies, services, training, and funds to develop the capacity
of Afghanistan's security ministries.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1521).
The House recedes with an amendment that requires the
Secretary of Defense to provide an assessment of the Government
of Afghanistan's ability to manage, employ, and sustain
equipment divested under the ASFF.
The conferees note the emphasis in this provision placed
on the resources allocated to integrate women into the security
forces of Afghanistan. The conferees, however, do not encourage
the Department of Defense to allocate funding for women and
girls programming simply for the sake of meeting a goal. The
conferees are aware that previous funding has not always been
applied in the most effective and judicious manner and
encourage the Department to ensure going forward that any funds
spent on such efforts are valid and verifiable.
Additionally, the conferees are disappointed by recent
public decisions regarding a lack of transparency on basic
information such as kinetic strike data, ANDSF development,
retention, and casualty rates, and progress on achieving the
central tenants of the bilateral U.S.-Afghanistan Compact. The
restriction of information in this manner undermines public
confidence, hinders necessary congressional oversight, and
raises legitimate questions about the efficacy of current U.S.
efforts in Afghanistan.
Extension and modification of Commanders' Emergency Response Program
(sec. 1224)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that
would extend the Commanders' Emergency Response Program through
2020 and would modify the countries in which ex gratia payments
are authorized to include Somalia, Yemen, and Libya.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend
the Commanders' Emergency Response Program through 2019 and
would modify the countries in which ex gratia payments are
authorized to include Somalia, Yemen, and Libya.
Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of certain
coalition nations for support provided to United States
military operations (sec. 1225)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that
would extend through December 31, 2019, the authority to make
Coalition Support Fund (CSF) payments under section 1233 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public
Law 110-181).
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1212) that would extend the authority to make CSF payments and
authorize up to $350.0 million. It would also prohibit Pakistan
from receiving CSF reimbursements except under the authority of
a separate border security provision (sec. 1204).
The House recedes.
The conferees recognize that stability in the South Asia
region cannot be achieved without cooperation with the
Government of Pakistan. The conferees also recognize that there
are a number of areas in which U.S. and Pakistani national
security interests converge. Pakistan has long been an
important security partner and that has not changed. It is
important, however, to seek new opportunities for coordination
and cooperation that is transparent and mutually beneficial.
Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Syria, Iraq, and Iran
Extension and modification of authority to provide assistance to the
vetted Syrian opposition (sec. 1231)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that
would extend the authority under section 1209 of the Carl Levin
and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113--291), as amended,
through December 31, 2019. The provision would also limit the
reprogramming of any funds until thirty days after the
President submits to the congressional defense committees a
plan describing the objectives, activities, and nature of the
partner forces trained and equipped under this authority.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1222) that would extend the authority through 2019. It would
also limit the use of any funds authorized to be appropriated
for fiscal 2019 under this authority until the President
submits to the appropriate congressional committees the report
on the United States strategy in Syria as required by section
1221 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2018 (Public Law 115-91) and a report describing the plans,
processes, mechanisms, and accompanying governance and
stabilization activities for training the internal security
forces of the vetted Syrian opposition under this authority.
Finally, the Senate provision would limit the obligation or
expenditure of any funds under this authority until the
Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense
committees a written certification every 120 days after the
enactment of this Act on progress toward defeating the Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and efforts to promote
stabilization, equitable governance, and adherence to United
States standards for human rights and the rule of law with
respect to support under this authority.
The House recedes with an amendment that would retain the
reprogramming requirement and replace the certification
requirement with a requirement for a quarterly report to be
submitted by the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Secretary of State, to the appropriate congressional committees
on progress in the campaign against ISIS and in stabilization,
equitable governance, and other matters in Syria.
The conferees recognize the significant progress made by
coalition forces against ISIS, but remain deeply concerned by
the lack of clarity and conflicting messages from
administration officials on the United States' strategy in
Syria. The conferees urge the administration to provide the
information necessary for the Congress to adequately evaluate
the requirements for this authority and how it contributes to
the accomplishment of U.S. objectives in Syria.
Syrian war crimes accountability (sec. 1232)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6203)
that would require the Secretary of State to submit a report on
war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Syria to
the appropriate congressional committees not later than 90 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act. It would also
require another report not later than 180 days after the
Secretary of State determines that the violence in Syria has
ceased. The provision would direct the Secretary of State to
conduct a study and submit a report on transitional justice in
Syria and authorize technical assistance for the purposes of
ensuring accountability for war crimes, crimes against
humanity, and genocide perpetrated by all forces fighting on
the behalf of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and all
non-state armed groups fighting in Syria from March 2011
forward. Additionally, the provision would direct the Secretary
of State, through the United States Permanent Representative to
the United Nations, to extend the mandate of the Independent
International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic
until its work is complete.
The House contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would make
several technical and clarifying changes.
Extension of authority to provide assistance to counter the Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria (sec. 1233)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) that
would extend the authority under section 1236 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291), as most recently amended by section 1222 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91), by authorizing the Secretary of Defense, in coordination
with the Secretary of State, to provide $850.0 million in
assistance to the military and other security forces of, or
associated with, the Government of the Republic of Iraq,
through December 31, 2020. Additionally, the House bill would
express the sense of Congress on the contributions of the
Peshmerga forces of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in the
campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
It would also require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination
with the Secretary of State, to submit to the appropriate
congressional committees and leadership of the House of
Representatives and the Senate a quarterly progress report on
the end-use of United States provided equipment and the extent
to which any organizations associated with the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps have been incorporated into the Iraqi
military.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1221)
that would extend the authority through the end of 2020 while
limiting the obligation or expenditure of more than $450.0
million of funds authorized for fiscal year 2019 until the
report on the United States strategy in Iraq required by the
Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying Conference Report 115-
404 and a report on the planned use of funds and the purpose,
size, roles, and missions of United States forces in Iraq is
submitted to the appropriate congressional committees.
The House recedes with an amendment that would retain the
sense of Congress on the contributions of the Peshmerga and the
quarterly progress report, along with several clarifications.
Limitation on assistance to the Government of Iraq (sec. 1234)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230D) that
would limit the obligation or expenditure of funds authorized
to be appropriated for this Act for assistance to the Ministry
of the Interior of the Government of Iraq until the Secretary
of Defense and the Secretary of State jointly certify to the
appropriate congressional committees that such funds will not
be disbursed by the United States to any group that is or is
known to be affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard
Corps-Quds Force or other state sponsor of terrorism.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove
the reference to the Ministry of the Interior and expand the
prohibition to the Government of Iraq as a whole, along with
several technical and clarifying changes.
Extension and modification of authority to support operations and
activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (sec.
1235)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that
would amend section 1215 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as amended, by
extending the authority for the Office of Security Cooperation
in Iraq (OSC-I) for one year through fiscal year 2019.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1223)
that would extend the authority for OSC-I through fiscal year
2019. The provision would limit the obligation or expenditure
of more than 25 percent of funds authorized for OSC-I for
fiscal year 2019 until the United States strategy on Iraq
required by the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying
Conference Report 115-404 and an additional report on the
activities, missions, and plan for the normalization of OSC-I
to conform to other offices of security cooperation are
delivered to the appropriate congressional committees.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
The conferees note that an earlier transition plan
submitted by the Secretary of Defense pursuant to the Joint
Explanatory Statement accompanying the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and
subsequent documentation related to OSC-I in the President's
Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2019 failed to provide the level
of detail required for Congress to adequately consider this
authority under the auspices of the Department of Defense.
Modification to annual report on the military power of Iran (sec. 1236)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1228) that
would require the President to submit a report to the
appropriate congressional committees not later than 120 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, and annually
thereafter for five years, on cooperation between Iran and the
Russian Federation and the extent to which such cooperation
affects United States interests, particularly with respect to
Syria. The House bill contained an additional provision (sec.
1230E) that would require the Secretary of State, in
consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to
submit to Congress not later than 90 days after the date of the

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1225) that would amend section 1245 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as
amended, to require an assessment of military cooperation and
collaboration on the development of nuclear, biological,
chemical, and advanced conventional weapons, weapons systems,
and delivery vehicles between Iran and the Russian Federation
and additional information on the Government of Iran's support
to the Houthis.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense's
congressionally mandated annual report on the military power of
Iran requires extensive reporting requirements on Iranian
military activity. Therefore, the conferees encourage the
Secretary of Defense to include detailed information in future
reports on Russian and Iranian cooperation, particularly with
respect to cooperation in Syria, assistance to the Assad
regime, the establishment of forward operating bases, the
deployment of air defense systems, and assistance to the Syrian
chemical weapons program. The conferees also encourage the
Secretary to include descriptions of any Russian and Iranian
cooperation on: Iran's space program, including whether such
cooperation strengthens Iran's ballistic missile program;
intelligence sharing; naval cooperation; nuclear cooperation;
the development and employment of hybrid warfare methods; and
the activities of Iranian proxy forces such as Hezbollah.

would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence
of the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a strategy
with foreign partners to counter the destabilizing activities
of Iran. Furthermore, it would require the Secretary of
Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit
a report to the appropriate congressional committees describing
the strategy and actions to enhance multilateral coordination.

number of technical and clarifying changes.
The conferees note the importance of multilateral
cooperation in the Middle East and encourage the Secretary of
Defense to enhance cooperation and military-to-military
engagement within multilateral fora when appropriate and
practicable.
Subtitle D--Matters Relating to the Russian Federation
Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty of the
Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1241)
The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1231)
that would extend by 1 year the prohibition imposed by section
1245 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2016 (Public Law 114-92),as amended by section 1232 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public
Law 115-91). This section would prohibit the use of fiscal year
2019 funds to implement any activity that recognizes the
sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea. This section
would also allow the Secretary of Defense, in concurrence with
the Secretary of State, to waive the prohibition if the
Secretary determines that doing so would be in the national
security interest of the United States and submits a
notification to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate
and the House of Representatives, the Committee on Foreign
Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs
of the House of Representatives.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1232) that would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated
or made available by this Act for fiscal year 2019 for the
Department of Defense to implement any activity that recognizes
the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence with Secretary
of State, to provide a justification for seeking any waiver to
the prohibition.
Limitation on availability of funds relating to implementation of the
Open Skies Treaty (sec. 1242)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that
would prohibit obligation or expenditure of certain funds for
fiscal year 2019 to modify any U.S. aircraft for the purposes
of implementing the Open Skies Treaty until the President
certifies that the United States has imposed legal
countermeasures on the Russian Federation for its violation of
that treaty. The provision would also prohibit the obligation
or expenditure of any funds for fiscal year 2019 to vote to
approve any implementing decision of the Open Skies
Consultative Commission (OSCC) (pursuant to Article X of the
treaty) that certifies infra-red or synthetic aperture radar
sensors for any state party until a series of reports and
certifications are met regarding U.S. Open Skies Treaty policy
and Russian aggression, malign influence, and treaty
violations. The provision would allow the President to waive
these requirements, without delegation, if he determines that
the waiver is in the interest of the national security of the
United States and that the Russian Federation has taken clear
and verifiable action to return to full and complete compliance
with the treaty. Finally, the provision would also require a
report from the Secretary of Defense on the state of the OC-
135B fleet, including a recommendation on a prospective
retirement date.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1648)
that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds
for fiscal year 2019 for research, development, test, and
engineering, Air Force, or aircraft procurement, Air Force, for
the digital visual imaging system to modify U.S. aircraft for
the purpose of implementing the Open Skies Treaty until the
President and the Secretary of Defense submit the two
certifications described in section 1235(b) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91).
The Senate recedes with amendments that would modify the
reporting requirements before a vote to approve certification
of sensors in the OSCC; remove certification requirements
related to Russian aggression and malign influence that are
unrelated to treaty violations; modify the waiver requirements
such that the President would have to certify that the Russian
Federation has taken clear and verifiable action to return to
compliance with the treaty; allow the President to delegate the
waiver authority to the Secretary of State, in consultation
with the Secretary of Defense and Director of National
Intelligence; require these officials to submit a report to the
appropriate congressional committees containing their views at
least 30 days before exercising the waiver; and strike the
reporting requirement related to the OC-135B fleet.
The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of the Air Force, to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees no later than
January 31, 2019, on the Department of the Air Force's RC-135,
WC-135, TC-135, and OC-135 aircraft fleets. The report should
address issues for each aircraft fleet regarding airworthiness,
safety of flight, aircraft availability and mission capability
rates, sustainment, maintenance, and reliability. The report
should also include a detailed description of the Secretary's
acquisition strategy for recapitalizing each platform's
capabilities, as well as the forecasted service-life expectancy
dates for each variant of C-135 aircraft. In determining
service-life expectancy dates, the Secretary should consider
separately the structural integrity of the basic aircraft and
the relevance and maintainability of the onboard mission
systems to meet existing and evolving intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements.
Determination required regarding material breach of INF Treaty by the
Russian Federation (sec. 1243)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1239) that
would provide that, unless the President certifies to the
specified congressional committees that the Russian Federation
has returned to full and verifiable compliance with the
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty within 1 year of
the date of the enactment of this Act, the prohibitions set
forth in Article VI of the treaty would no longer be binding
upon the United States as a matter of U.S. law.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead
require the President to submit to the appropriate
congressional committees no later than January 15, 2019, a
determination whether the Russian Federation is in material
breach of its obligations under the INF Treaty, and if the
prohibitions set forth in Article VI of the INF Treaty remain
binding on the United States as a matter of U.S. law.
Comprehensive response to the Russian Federation's material breach of
the INF Treaty (sec. 1244)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that
would make a series of findings regarding the Russian
Federation's violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces
(INF) Treaty and make a statement of policy that such
violations constitute material breach of the treaty and
therefore the United States is legally entitled to suspend the
operation of the treaty for so long as Russia remains in
material breach. The provision would also prohibit the
obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of funds authorized to
be appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department
of Defense for fiscal year 2019 to provide support services
(other than those required for senior leader communications) to
the Executive Office of the President until the President
certifies that each requirement of section 1290 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) has been implemented and the President has submitted the
report required by section 1244(c) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with amendments that would remove the
findings; change the statement of policy to a sense of the
Congress; make a technical amendment; and remove the limitation
on funding.
Report on implementation of the New START Treaty (sec. 1245)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240) that
would prohibit the expenditure of funds for the Department of
Defense to extend the implementation of the New Strategic Arms
Reduction Treaty (New START) until the President certifies that
the President has raised the issue of certain new Russian
nuclear weapons systems under Article V of New START and that
the Russian Federation has responded in writing to the United

The conferees believe in that in order to strengthen the

China has engaged in provocative military activities elsewhere
throughout the Indo-Pacific Region, including the East China
Sea, the Taiwan Strait, and the Indian Ocean. The conferees
urge the Secretary of Defense to give full consideration to the

use of funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act to

States and will not significantly undermine the security of
United States allies in the region; and (2) the Secretary has
appropriately consulted with allies of the United States,
including the Republic of Korea and Japan, regarding such a
reduction.
The conferees recognize that United States military
forces deployed on the Korean Peninsula remain vital to
deterring, and if necessary, defeating aggression by the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which continues to
threaten the national security interests of the United States
and the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific region through
both its conventional forces and weapons of mass destruction.
While the conferees support diplomatic efforts to achieve the
complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the conferees believe

baseline of progress for negotiations with respect to
denuclearization. The provision would require, in the case of
an agreement between the United States and the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea, the Secretary of Defense to submit
written updates and verification assessments to the required
report.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment would require that
the Secretary of Defense also coordinate with the Secretary of
State and Secretary of Energy on the required reports. The
amendment would clarify that the updates to the baseline report
and the verification assessment shall only be required in the
event of an interim or final agreement between the United
States and the DPRK with respect to the denuclearization of the
DPRK that includes a commitment by the DPRK to (1) reduce the
nuclear arsenal of the DPRK or (2) to otherwise discontinue,
reduce, or suspend the nuclear program of the DPRK. The

other weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and
biological weapons, of the DPRK.

cooperation with India (sec. 1266)

requirement would include a description of the progress on
enabling agreements between the United States and the Republic
of India, any limitations that hinder or slow progress,
measures to improve interoperability, and actions India is

partnership with India and work toward mutual security
objectives.

section 1259 of the House bill to require the Secretary of
Defense and Secretary of State to include a forward-looking
strategy and specific benchmarks for measurable progress toward
enhancing United States defense cooperation with India and
India's status as a major defense partner. The provision would
also strike section 1264 of the House bill and section 1247 of
the Senate amendment.
The conferees believe that the United States should
strengthen and enhance its major defense partnership with India
and such a partnership should enable strategic, operational,
and tactical coordination between our militaries and be jointly
developed between the countries. The conferees also believe
that the United States should work toward mutual security
objectives by: (1) expanding engagement in multilateral
frameworks, including the Quadrilateral Dialogue between the
United States, India, Japan, and Australia, to promote regional
security and defend shared values and common interests in the
rules-based order; (2) exploring additional steps to implement
the ``major defense partner'' designation to better facilitate
military interoperability, information sharing, and appropriate
technology transfers; (3) pursuing strategic initiatives to
help develop India's defense capabilities, including maritime
security capabilities; (4) improving cooperation on and
coordination of humanitarian and disaster relief responses; (5)
conducting additional joint exercises with India in the Persian

program, and express the sense of the Congress that (1) the
Government of the Republic of Turkey continues to unlawfully
and wrongfully detain United States citizens, including Andrew
Brunson and Serkan Golge, as well as staff of United States
missions in Turkey; and (2) consistent with its obligations
under the North Atlantic Treaty, which commits NATO allies to
safeguard ``the principles of democracy, individual liberty and
the rule of law,'' the Government of the Republic of Turkey
should immediately release all United States citizens that have
been wrongfully detained and resolve such cases in a timely,
fair, and transparent manner.
The conferees note that an assessment of a significant
change in Turkish participation in the F-35 program, including
a reduction or elimination of such participation, as well as a
limitation on the delivery of F-35 aircraft to the Republic of
Turkey, are addressed elsewhere in this report.
Technical amendments related to NATO Support and Procurement
Organization and related NATO agreements (sec. 1279)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1278) that
would amend section 2350d of title 10, United States Code, to
update the statutory reference to reflect a reorganization of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with respect to
the elimination of the NATO Support Organization and the
establishment of the NATO Support and Procurement Organization.
The provision would also amend section 2350d to reflect that
NATO supply and logistics support activities may extend to NATO
operations outside of Europe.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1236).
The House recedes.
Report on permanent stationing of United States forces in the Republic
of Poland (sec. 1280)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1254)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination
with the Secretary of State, to submit to the congressional
defense committees a report on the feasibility and advisability
of permanently stationing United States forces in the Republic
of Poland. Specifically, the provision would require an
assessment of the types of permanently stationed United States
forces in Poland required to deter aggression by the Russian
Federation and execute Department of Defense contingency plans,
including combat enabler units. The provision would also
require a detailed assessment of the feasibility and
advisability of permanently stationing a United States Army
brigade combat team in Poland.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Report on strengthening NATO cyber defense (sec. 1281)

that would express the sense of the Senate regarding Department
of Defense cyber cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) and would require the Secretary of Defense
to submit to the congressional defense committees a report
detailing the Department's efforts to enhance the United
States' leadership in and collaboration with NATO in the
development of a comprehensive, cross-domain strategy to build
cyber-defense capacity and deter cyber attacks among member
countries.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the
sense of the Senate.
The conferees believe that the Department of Defense
should continue to cooperate with NATO and key NATO allies in
order to promote the common defense in the cyberspace domain as
well as to deter cyberattacks.
Report on status of the United States relationship with the Republic of
Turkey (sec. 1282)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1271) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Secretary of State, to submit a report on the U.S.-Turkish
relationship to the congressional defense committees, the
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee
on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, not later
than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The
provision would also prohibit any action to execute delivery of
a foreign military sale for major defense equipment under
section 36 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2761) to
the Republic of Turkey until the required report is delivered
to the specified congressional committees.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the report on the U.S.-Turkish relationship to be delivered not
later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act. The
amendment would add to the matters to be included in the
required report an assessment of the operational and
counterintelligence risks posed by the deployment of the S-400
air and missile defense system in the Republic of Turkey to the
F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike aircraft and the steps required
to mitigate those risks, if possible. The amendment would also
add an assessment of the Republic of Turkey's participation in
the F-35 program, including a description of industrial
participation of Turkish industry in the manufacturing and
assembly of the F-35 program; an assessment of tooling and
other manufacturing materials held by Turkish industry; and an
assessment of the impacts of a significant change in
participation by the Republic of Turkey in the F-35 program and
the steps that would be required to mitigate negative impacts
of such a change on the United States and other international
program partners. The amendment would prohibit the Department
of Defense from delivering any F-35 aircraft to the Republic of
Turkey until such time as the required report has been
submitted.
The conferees recognize Turkey is an important
international partner in the F-35 program, and that any
significant change in Turkish participation could have
substantial impacts on the program. However, Turkey's expressed
intention to purchase the S-400 air and missile defense system
from Russia raises serious concerns regarding Turkey's
participation in the F-35 program. Moreover, such a purchase
would have significant ramifications for the broader U.S.-
Turkey relationship and defense cooperation, including the
possibility of sanctions. Therefore, the conferees believe the
Department of Defense should be prepared for all potential
outcomes that would result if Turkey completes a purchase of
the S-400 by conducting the assessment required of a
significant change in Turkish participation in the F-35
program, including a reduction or elimination of such
participation.
Sense of the Congress concerning military-to-military dialogues (sec.
1283)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1279) that
would express the sense of Congress regarding the parameters
that lead to successful military-to-military dialogues.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Modifications to Global Engagement Center (sec. 1284)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1280) that
would modify section 1287 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) relating to the
Global Engagement Center (GEC).
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1262)
that would extend for one year the transfer authority contained
in section 1287(e)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2017 relating to the GEC, and clarify the role,
responsibilities and authorities of the GEC.
The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
The conferees strongly support the mission of the GEC to
counter false and misleading messaging by both state and non-
state adversaries and note the importance of integrating
military and nonmilitary tools of statecraft to address these
challenges. The conferees believe continuation of the transfer
authority provided by this provision helps to facilitate such a
whole-of-government approach.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense (DOD)
and the Department of State (DOS) signed a memorandum of
understanding on February 26, 2018, to facilitate the transfer
of $40.0 million for the purposes of countering propaganda and
disinformation from foreign nations, more than a year after
such transfers were authorized by the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 and after the
Intelligence Community publicly reported Russian efforts to
influence the 2016 elections. The conferees have significant
concern about delayed action on these issues in the face of a
significant and growing threat from Russia. The conferees
strongly encourage DOD and DOS to fully utilize the authorities
that have been provided to more aggressively counter propaganda
by Russia and other state and non-state actors, and urge the
Department to be more expeditious in the transfer of funds to
the GEC for future projects.
Sense of Congress on countering hybrid threats and malign influence
(sec. 1285)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1297) that
would express the sense of the Congress that the United States
should work with its partners and allies to build resilience
against Russian malign influence operations.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1238) that would request the Secretaries of the Defense and
State Departments to urgently complete a strategy to counter
Russian malign influence.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would call on
the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State to urgently
prioritize submission of the report required by section
1239A(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91; 131 Stat. 1671) on a
comprehensive strategy to counter malign activities of Russia.
Initiative to support protection of national security academic
researchers from undue influence and other security threats
(sec. 1286)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1283) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to implement an
application certification requirement for researchers seeking
funding to ensure that funds not be made available to any
individual who has participated in or is currently
participating in a foreign talent program.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace
the certification requirement with a directive to the Secretary
of Defense to establish an initiative to support the protection
of national security academic researchers from undue influence,
including through foreign talent programs, and other security
threats, by developing policies, training, and regulations and
procedures with academic organizations to support the goals of
this initiative.
The conferees believe that such an initiative will help
support the protection of intellectual property, controlled
information, key personnel, and information about critical
technologies relevant to national security; protect academic
freedom and global scientific collaboration; limit undue
influences by countries seeking to exploit United States
technology within the Department of Defense research; and
support efforts toward the development of domestic talent in
relevant scientific and engineering fields.

Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs
of the House of Representatives a report regarding narcotics
trafficking corruption and illicit campaign finance in
Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador not later than 180 days
after the enactment of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained an identical provision
(sec. 6205).
The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the
Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of
Defense and other appropriate officials, to submit the report,
rather than the Secretary of Defense and the Director of
National Intelligence.
Modification of freedom of navigation reporting requirements (sec.
1288)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1289) that
would amend section 1275 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), as amended by
section 1262(a)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), to add the Committee
on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign
Affairs of the House of Representatives as recipients of the

authorized in-flight refueling to Saudi or Saudi-led coalition
non-United States aircraft conducting missions in Yemen,

the civil war in Yemen. The provision would include several
exceptions and a national security waiver that may be exercised
by the Secretary of State.
The House bill contained no such provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the certification on actions undertaken by the United Arab
Emirates in addition to Saudi Arabia.
Treatment of Rwandan Patriotic Front and Rwandan Patriotic Army under
Immigration and Nationality Act (sec. 1291)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6202)
that would exclude the Rwandan Patriotic Front and the Rwandan

otherwise to implement such Treaty, unless the Treaty has
received the advice and consent of the Senate and has been the
subject of implementing legislation, as required by Congress.
Prohibition on provision of weapons and other forms of support to
certain organizations (sec. 1293)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1282) that
would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2019
to provide weapons to a number of specified terrorist
organizations and any other entity that the Secretary of
Defense determines may trade or sell arms to terrorist
organizations.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Modified waiver authority for certain sanctionable transactions under
section 231 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through
Sanctions Act (sec. 1294)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1236) that
would require reports with regard to Russian violations of the
INF Treaty and the supply chains for Russian arms sales

expedited review procedures in section 216 of CAATSA, to waive
the application of sanctions if the President provides a
certification to the appropriate congressional committees not
less than 30 days in advance of the waiver taking effect. The
amendment would preclude the President from using the waiver
with respect to a significant transaction with specified
entities of the Russian defense or intelligence sectors,
including the Main Intelligence Agency of the General Staff of
the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU), which the
United States intelligence community assessed on January 6,
2017, played a direct role in Russian interference in the 2016
United States presidential election. The President would be
required to certify that the waiver is in the national security
interests of the United States. The President would also be
required to certify that the significant transaction for which
the waiver is being used would not: (1) endanger the integrity
of any multilateral alliance of which the United States is a
part; (2) adversely affect ongoing operations of the Armed
Forces of the United States, including coalition operations in
which the such forces participate; (3) result in a significant
negative impact to defense cooperation between the United
States and the country whose government has primary
jurisdiction over the person; and (4) significantly increase
the risk of compromising United States defense systems and
operational capabilities, including through the diversion of
United States sensitive technology. The President would be
further required to certify that the government with primary

inventory of major defense equipment and advanced conventional
weapons produced by the defense sector of the Russian
Federation as a share of its total inventory of major defense
equipment and advanced conventional weapons over a specified
period; or cooperating with the United States Government on
other matters that are critical to United States strategic
national security interests.
Not later than 120 days after the date on which the
President submits the specified certification, and annually
thereafter for two years, the amendment would require the

which the waiver under section 236(b) has or has not resulted
in the compromise of United States systems and operational
capabilities, including through the diversion of United States
sensitive technology to a person that is part of, or operates
for or on behalf of, the intelligence sectors of the Government
of the Russian Federation; and (2) the extent to which the
government with primary jurisdiction over the person is taking
specific enforcement actions.
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the amendment would require the President to submit
an initial report that describes those persons that the
President has determined under section 231 of CAATSA have
knowingly engaged in a significant transaction with a person
that is part of, or operates for or on behalf of, the defense
or intelligence sectors of the Government of the Russian
Federation. The amendment would also require updates every 90
days thereafter for a period of 5 years.

Sense of Congress on ballistic missile program of Iran
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230C) that
would express the sense of Congress that the ballistic missile
program of Iran represents a serious threat to the allies of

United States. It would also express the sense of Congress that
the Government of the United States should impose tough primary
and secondary sanctions against institutions and persons that
directly or indirectly support the program.

missile program, which poses a significant threat to regional
stability and United States interests. Iran's testing and
production of ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear
weapons violates multiple unanimously adopted United Nations
Security Council resolutions. To address this threat, the

sanctions should be fully utilized to help deny support to the
Iranian ballistic missile program and that the United States
should continue to engage with partners and allies to address
the Iranian ballistic missile threat.

array of terrorist organizations, including ISIS, which
maintain diversified revenue streams. Therefore, the conferees
direct the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Treasury, and
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with other relevant
Federal officials, to provide a briefing to the congressional
defense committees not later than 90 days after the enactment

The conferees note with deep concern Russia's
destabilizing activities in Afghanistan. By misrepresenting the
danger that Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant--Khorasan
Province (ISIS-K) presents in Afghanistan and providing

undermined the international effort to establish peace and
stability in Afghanistan and the Central and South Asian
region. To better understand the nature of these activities,
the conferees direct the appropriate agency within the
Department of Defense, in conjunction with the Intelligence
Community, to provide a report to the congressional defense and
foreign relations committees no later than January 31st, 2019.
The required report should be made at the classified level with

Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall
Islands, and Palau, the United States has exclusive military
use rights in these countries in exchange for the defense of

The House recedes.

strengthening the capacity of such Departments to promote
regional stability around the world while protecting and
promoting United States interests. Foreign Service officers
serving as political advisors within the Department of Defense
provide deep understanding of diplomatic dynamics and issues
and can enable, through such exchange programs, the Department

1522) that would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up
to $3.5 billion.
The House recedes.
Overseas contingency operations (sec. 1513)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1502)
that would designate authorization of appropriations in this
section as Overseas Contingency Operations.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Subtitle C--Other Matters
Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization (sec. 1521)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1531) that
would reauthorize the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat
Organization (JIDO) to reflect the expiration of the Joint
Improvised-Threat Defeat Fund.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1522).
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to submit a transition plan for JIDO
with respect to transition from overseas contingency operations

congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 2019.
Enduring costs funded through overseas contingency operations (sec.
1522)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1524) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit with the annual
President's budget request an estimate for the costs of
operations currently supported in part or in whole by overseas
contingency operations (OCO) funds that are likely to continue
beyond such contingency.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1003) that would require the Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller) to submit a report that outlines the changes to
the Office of Management and Budget OCO criteria and lists the
exact figure amounts by project or activity that are shifted
from OCO to base funding for the fiscal year 2020 budget
request.
The Senate recedes with an amendment to combine both
provisions. The provision requires the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller) to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees, two weeks after the submission of the
President's budget request, an estimate of any enduring costs
which are funded through OCO funds, and a detailed description
of any costs that have been transferred from OCO to base funds.
Comptroller General report on use of funds provided by overseas
contingency operations (sec. 1523)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1525) that
would direct the Comptroller General of the United States to
submit to the congressional defense committees a report on how
funds authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2018 for
overseas contingency operations were obligated.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1523) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense and the Director of
Management and Budget to establish separate accounts for
overseas contingency operations funds.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that section 1524 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) required the Department of Defense to provide updated
guidelines regarding the budget items that may be covered by
overseas contingency operations funds. The conferees await the
results of this report due in August 2018. Furthermore, the
conferees anticipate that the results of the first full
financial audit will contain a recommendation for the
Department of Defense to identify receipt of base
appropriations separately from overseas contingency operations
appropriations. The conferees recommend the Department of
Defense begin work to implement these controls.
Title XVI--Strategic Programs, Cyber, and Intelligence Matters
Subtitle A--Space Activities
Improvements to acquisition system, personnel, and organization of
space forces (sec. 1601)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1601) that
would direct the Deputy Secretary of Defense to develop a plan
to establish an alternative acquisition system for defense
space acquisitions, including with respect to space vehicles,
ground segments, and terminals. The provision would also
require the Secretary of the Air Force to develop and implement
a plan to increase the number and improve the quality of the
civilian and military space cadre within the Air Force and
establish a new numbered Air Force responsible for space
warfighting operations. Finally, the provision would establish
a subordinate unified command for space under U.S. Strategic
Command that would be responsible for joint space warfighting
operations.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with amendments that would remove the
requirement for a numbered Air Force and remove the requirement
to implement the plan for cadre development.
Modifications to Space Rapid Capabilities Office (sec. 1602)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1601)
that would clarify and update the structure of the Space Rapid
Capabilities Office.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with technical and clarifying
amendments.
Rapid, responsive, and reliable space launch (sec. 1603)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1602) that
would amend section 2273(b) of title 10, United States Code, to
include consideration of rapid, responsive, and reliable space
launches for national security space programs and re-name the
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program the National Security
Space Launch program. It would also require the Secretary of
Defense to consider both reusable and expendable launch
vehicles for any solicitations on or after March 1, 2019, and
require the Secretary to notify the appropriate congressional
committees 60 days before issuing any solicitation for which
reusable launch vehicles are not deemed eligible. Finally, the
provision would require the Secretary to conduct a risk and
cost impact analysis for launch vehicles for national security
payloads, and submit such analysis to the appropriate
congressional committees no later than 180 days from the date
of enactment of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to pursue a
strategy that includes fully or partially reusable launch
systems as part of ensuring assured access for national
security payloads to space. It would make the same change in
name as the House provision and require the Secretary to submit
a report to Congress no less than 60 days before any
solicitation for procurement of launch services is issued.
The Senate recedes with several technical amendments and
an amendment that would require the Secretary to notify the
appropriate congressional committees not later than 10 days
after issuing a solicitation for a contract for space launch
services for which reusable launch vehicles are not eligible,
rather than 60 days before.
The conferees encourage the Secretary to continue to
develop a process to evaluate and certify launch vehicles using
previously flown components or systems for national security
space launch.
Provision of space situational awareness services and information (sec.
1604)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that
would terminate on January 1, 2024, the authority of the
Department of Defense (DOD) to provide space situational
awareness data to commercial and foreign entities. The
provision would further require the Secretary of Defense to
enter into a contract with a federally funded research and
development center (FFRDC) to assess which department or
departments should assume these authorities. This provision
would also direct the Secretary of Defense to develop and
submit to Congress a plan to ensure that one or more
departments may provide space situational awareness services to
non-U.S. Government entities.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the
requirement for a contract with an FFRDC and instead require
the President to submit to the appropriate congressional
committees no later than 180 days from the date of enactment of
this Act a plan for a department or agency other than the DOD
to provide space situational awareness services and information
to commercial and foreign entities.
Budget assessments for national security space programs (sec. 1605)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1604) that
would extend the requirement for an annual report on the budget
for national security space programs to fiscal year 2021 and
allow the Secretary of Defense to submit the report up to 30
days after the date on which the President submits the budget
request to Congress.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Improvements to commercial space launch operations (sec. 1606)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1604)
that would prohibit the imposition by the Secretary of Defense
of requirements duplicative of those imposed by the Secretary
of Transportation under chapter 509 of title 10, United States
Code. The provision would allow the Secretary of Defense to
waive this prohibition if he determines that imposing a
requirement is necessary to avoid negative consequences for the
national security space program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment and an
amendment that would grant the above waiver authority to the
Secretary of the Air Force, with a requirement to notify the
Secretary of Transportation first.
Space warfighting policy, review of space capabilities, and plan on
space warfighting readiness (sec. 1607)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1612) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and commence
implementation of a plan that identifies joint mission-
essential tasks for space as a warfighting domain.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1602)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a space
warfighting policy not later than March 29, 2019. The provision
would also direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review
relating to the national security space enterprise, including
resiliency, attribution challenges, deterrence, acquisition
cycles, organizational structures, and emerging threats.
The House recedes with amendments that would incorporate
the plan required by the House provision into the Senate
provision, both due not later than March 29, 2019, and modify
several of the specific requirements of the review required by
the Senate provision. The conferees also encourage coordination
with the Director of National Intelligence as the review is
conducted and this policy is developed.
The conferees note that national security satellites face
growing threats from potential adversary attacks, such as anti-
satellite weapons or jamming, and from environmental hazards,
such as orbital debris. A single launch failure, on-orbit
problem, or attack on a single satellite could result, in some
cases, in the loss of billions of dollars of investment and a
significant loss of capability. Protecting space assets has
therefore become a priority for the Department, and funding for
space protection has increased in recent years.
Accordingly, the conferees direct the Comptroller General
of the United States to conduct a review of space protection
programs of the Department of Defense, including a review of
the status of the primary space protection acquisition efforts
underway or planned by the Department. The conferees are also
interested in the extent to which these efforts and plans are
coordinated across the Department and among other government,
commercial, and international entities.
The conferees direct the Comptroller General to provide a
briefing to the congressional defense committees no later than
March 15, 2019, with a report to follow by a date agreed at the
time of the briefing.
Use of small- and medium-size buses for strategic and tactical
satellite payloads (sec. 1608)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1606) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing on
the risks, benefits, and cost savings associated with using
small- and medium-size buses for strategic and tactical
satellite payloads for protected satellite communications
programs and next-generation overhead persistent infrared
systems. The provision would also require the Director of Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) to certify that future
analyses of alternatives include materiel solutions for using
small- and medium-size buses. Finally, this provision would
require the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Air Force,
and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide a
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives, not later than 240 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, on alternative space-based
architectures using small-, medium-, and large-size buses.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with amendments that would specify
that the CAPE assessments should be submitted at completion of
each relevant analysis of alternatives, and that the briefing
provided by the Secretary of Defense should also take into
account requirements for radiation hardening of critical
components.
Enhancement of positioning, navigation, and timing capacity (sec. 1609)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1605) that
would require the Secretary of the Air Force to ensure that
military Global Positioning System user equipment terminals
have the capability to receive trusted signals from the Galileo
and QZSS satellite constellations, starting with increment 2.
This provision would also require the terminals to have the
capability to receive non-allied positioning, navigation, and
timing signals if the Secretary of Defense determines that the
benefits outweigh the risks or the risks can be appropriately
mitigated.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the
Secretary of Defense to waive the requirement for increment 2
terminals to receive signals from Galileo and QZSS satellites
if he determines it necessary for national security. The
Secretary would not be able to delegate such waiver authority
below the level of the Deputy Secretary of Defense and would be
required to submit a report with the waiver providing rationale
for why the capability was not incorporated into increment 2,
and providing a plan and timeline for incorporation of the
capability in future increments.
Designation of component of Department of Defense responsible for
coordination of modernization efforts relating to military-code
capable GPS receiver cards (sec. 1610)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1607) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to designate a component
of the Office of the Secretary of Defense to be responsible for
coordinating common solutions for the military-code
modernization efforts among the military departments, Defense
Agencies, and other appropriate elements of the Department of
Defense not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of
this Act. The provision would also require the Secretary to
submit a report no later than March 15, 2019, and annually
through 2021, on these efforts.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees appreciate the efforts of the Council on
Oversight of the Department of Defense Position, Navigation,
and Timing Enterprise to support military-code modernization
efforts thus far and encourage the Secretary to draw on the
expertise of the Council.
Designation of component of Department of Defense responsible for
coordination of hosted payload information (sec. 1611)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1608) that
would make a series of findings and require the Secretary of
Defense to designate a component of the Department of Defense
to be responsible for coordinating information, processes, and
lessons learned relating to use of commercially hosted payloads
across the military departments, Defense Agencies, and other
appropriate elements of the Department of Defense not later
than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike
the findings.
Limitation on availability of funds for Joint Space Operations Center
mission system (sec. 1612)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1609) that
would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds for
fiscal year 2019 for the Joint Space Operations Center Mission
System (JMS) and limit obligation or expenditure of 25 percent
of funds for fiscal year 2019 for the Enterprise Space Battle
Management Command and Control program until the Deputy
Secretary of Defense provides to the congressional defense
committees a certification that the Secretary of the Air Force
has entered into a contract to operationalize commercial space
situational awareness processing software to address warfighter
requirements and fill gaps in current space situational
awareness capabilities.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify
the limitation on funds for JMS to 50 percent and require the
Secretary of the Air Force to submit the certification, rather
than the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
Evaluation and enhanced security of supply chain for protected
satellite communications programs and overhead persistent
infrared systems (sec. 1613)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1610) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan for
and conduct evaluations of supply chain vulnerabilities for
protected satellite communications and next-generation overhead
persistent infrared (OPIR) systems, and develop risk mitigation
strategies for the identified vulnerabilities. The provision
would also require the Secretary to establish requirements to
carry out the supply chain vulnerability evaluation and submit
such requirements to the congressional defense committees not
later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
The conferees note that the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91)
contained a similar provision, section 1659, that required the
Secretary of Defense to evaluate supply chain vulnerabilities
for programs related to nuclear weapons, nuclear command,
control, and communications, continuity of government, and
ballistic missile defense. The conferees encourage the
Secretary to leverage work done in support of that requirement
where appropriate, and do not intend for this provision to
supersede section 1659.
The conferees note that the Air Force is currently
planning to use an accelerated acquisition process to rapidly
develop a block of next generation OPIR satellites, with
fielding to begin in fiscal year 2025, and a follow-on block in
fiscal year 2030. While this program is mainly intended to
focus on core survivable strategic missile warning
requirements, it is unclear whether and how it will satisfy
other requirements, including those addressed by the legacy
Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS). It is also unclear how
technology development over the past decade will help inform
the next generation program.
Accordingly, the conferees direct the Comptroller General
of the United States to review the early planning for the next
generation OPIR system and associated ground capabilities. The
review should assess: 1) What challenges and risks, if any,
does the next generation OPIR acquisition effort face, and
what, if anything, is being planned to address these challenges
and risks? 2) To what extent will the next generation OPIR
system continue to fulfill existing key SBIRS capabilities? 3)
To what extent is the Air Force coordinating with other
agencies inside and outside the Department of Defense, such as
the Missile Defense Agency, to help ensure sustainment of
current capabilities and limit the potential for duplicative
acquisition efforts? 4) To what extent is the Air Force
leveraging commercial space industry advances and technology
development initiatives to develop a lower cost system sooner?
The Comptroller General shall provide an initial briefing
to the congressional defense committees no later than March 15,
2019, with a report to follow at a date to be agreed upon at
the time of the briefing.
Report on protected satellite communications (sec. 1614)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1611) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees no later than December 31,
2018, on how specific protected satellite communications
programs meet the requirements for resilience, mission
assurance, and the nuclear command, control, and communication
mission of the Department of Defense.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Report on enhancements to the Global Positioning System Operational
Control Segment (sec. 1615)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1603)
that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees no later than 1
year after date of the enactment of this Act on potential
further enhancements to the Operational Control Segment for the
Global Positioning System to achieve capabilities similar to
the Next Generation Operational Control Segment, including
cybersecurity enhancements and other incremental capabilities.
The report would also include the cost and schedule for such
additional capabilities and enhancements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with clarifying amendments.
Report on persistent weather imagery for United States Central Command
(sec. 1616)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that
would require the Secretary of the Air Force to develop a plan
to provide persistent weather imagery of the U.S. Central
Command area of operations to the Command after 2025. The
Secretary would be required to submit such plan to the
congressional defense committees by March 1, 2019.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead
require the Secretary to submit a report with options to
provide such imagery.
Study on space-based radio frequency mapping (sec. 1617)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1613) that
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Director of
National Intelligence to jointly conduct a study on the
capabilities of the private sector with respect to radio
frequency mapping and associated services for space-based
electromagnetic collections.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with clarifying amendments.
Independent study on space launch locations (sec. 1618)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1615) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract
with a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC)
to conduct a study on space launch locations, including with
respect to the development and capacity of existing and new
locations, and the vulnerabilities of the use of existing and
new locations.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with several amendments that would
clarify the areas of focus of the study and remove the
prohibition on entering into a contract with an FFRDC for which
the Air Force Space Command or the Launch Center of the
National Aeronautical and Space Administration is a sponsor.
The conferees continue to recognize the unique importance
of U.S. Federal Aviation Administration-licensed spaceports
and, when appropriate, encourage the use of such spaceports and
complexes for certain orbits in support of national security
space priorities. The conferees note that a variety of
spaceports are already operational or in development, including
in Georgia, New Mexico, Alaska, Oklahoma, Virginia, Texas, and
Arizona; the conferees support this diversification of launch
options available to the Department of Defense.
Briefing on commercial satellite servicing capabilities (sec. 1619)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1617) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Director of National Intelligence, to jointly provide to
the congressional defense committees and to other appropriate
committees upon request a briefing detailing the costs, risks,
and operational benefits of leveraging commercial satellite
servicing capabilities for national security satellite systems.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Subtitle B--Defense Intelligence and Intelligence-Related Activities
Role of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (sec. 1621)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1621) that
would amend section 137 of title 10, United States Code, to
clarify the responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense
for Intelligence.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Security vetting for foreign nationals (sec. 1622)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1622) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to apply additional
security reviews to dual citizens seeking positions that
require access to highly classified information.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would broaden
the provision to vetting, instead of solely clearances, and
would involve the Security Executive Agent.
Department of Defense Counterintelligence polygraph program (sec. 1623)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1623) that
would amend section 1564a of title 10, United States Code, by
authorizing the Secretary of Defense to add dual citizens to
the Department of Defense counterintelligence polygraph
program, for the purposes of assessing risk.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that specifies that
this addition will only apply in the case of an authorized
investigation.
Defense intelligence business management systems (sec. 1624)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1624) that
would direct the Chief Management Officer of the Department of
Defense to develop and implement standardized business process
rules for the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution
process for the Military Intelligence Program.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that insufficient insight into the
Military Intelligence Program budget inhibits the congressional
oversight of the Military Intelligence Program.
Modification to annual briefing on the intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance requirements of the combatant commands (sec.
1625)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1625) that
would require the Department of Defense to incorporate into the
existing report required by section 1626 of the Carl Levin and
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) data related to the
number of requests for intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance capability and capacity submitted to the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) by the combatant
commanders, the number of requests formally validated by the
CJCS, the quantity of validated requests tasked to the Services
to fulfill, and the amount of validated requests actually
fulfilled by the Services.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Framework on governance, mission management, resourcing, and effective
oversight of combat support agencies that are also elements of
the intelligence community (sec. 1626)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1611)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and
codify in policy a framework and supporting processes within
the Department of Defense to ensure that the missions, roles,
and functions of the combat support agencies of the Department
of Defense that are also elements of the intelligence
community, and other intelligence components of the Department,
are appropriately balanced and resourced.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Subtitle C--Cyberspace-Related Matters
Reorganization and consolidation of certain cyber provisions (sec.
1631)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1624)
that would amend part I of subtitle A of title 10, United
States Code, by transferring sections 130g, 130j, and 130k,
currently of chapter 3, to chapter 19, reorganizing this law
under ``Cyber Matters'' rather than ``General Powers and
Functions.''
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Affirming the authority of the Secretary of Defense to conduct military
activities and operations in cyberspace (sec. 1632)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1622)
that would affirm the authority of the Secretary of Defense to
conduct military activities and operations in cyberspace,
including clandestine military activities and operations, to
defend the United States, its allies, and its interests, in
anticipation of and in response to malicious cyber activities
carried out against the United States or a United States person
by a foreign power and would clarify that clandestine military
activities or operations in cyberspace are traditional military
activities for the purposes of section 503(e)(2) of the
National Security Act of 1947 (Public Law 80-253).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
that the affirmation does not itself authorize any specific
military activities or operations and should not be treated as
an authorization for use of military force.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense faces
difficulties within the interagency in obtaining mission
approval. One of the challenges routinely confronted by the
Department is the perceived ambiguity as to whether clandestine
military activities and operations, even those short of cyber
attacks, qualify as traditional military activities as distinct
from covert actions requiring a Presidential Finding. As a
result, with respect to actions that produce effects on
information systems outside of areas of active hostilities, the
Department of Defense has been limited to proposing actions
that could be conducted overtly on attributable infrastructure
without deniability--an operational space that is far too
narrow to defend national interests. The conferees see no
logical, legal, or practical reason for allowing extensive
clandestine traditional military activities in all other
operational domains (air, sea, ground, and space) but not in
cyberspace. It is unfortunate that the executive branch has
squandered years in interagency deliberations that failed to
recognize this basic fact and that this legislative action has
proven necessary.
The conferees, in this affirmation, specify that military
activities and operations, or associated preparatory actions,
conducted in cyberspace, marked by, held in, or conducted with
secrecy, and carried out, (1) as part of a military operation
plan approved by the President or the Secretary in anticipation
of hostilities or as directed by the President or the
Secretary, (2) to deter, safeguard, or defend against attacks
or malicious cyber activities against the United States or
Department of Defense information, networks, systems,
installations, facilities, or other assets, or (3) in support
of information related capabilities, indeed qualify as
traditional military activities. Such activities include those
conducted for the purpose of preparation of the environment,
force protection, deterrence of hostilities, advancing
counterterrorism operations, and in support of information
operations or information-related capabilities. Information-
related capabilities may include, when appropriate and
approved, military deception and psychological operations.
The conferees do not intend or expect that this provision
will result in the Department's unnecessarily or routinely
conducting clandestine cyber attacks, especially those outside
of areas in which hostilities are occurring, but nonetheless
recognize that it is important that the Department have the
ability to respond to and prepare for hostilities in
cyberspace. The conferees urge the Department to pursue more
active engagement with and deterrence of adversaries in
cyberspace. The conferees also urge the administration to
reconfigure its interagency processes as necessary to ensure
that the Department's operations are approved in an
appropriately efficient and effective manner.
The conferees intend to conduct rigorous oversight of
Department of Defense clandestine operations in cyberspace and
expect the Department to keep the congressional defense
committees apprised of activities and operations and informed
regarding operational authorities and associated execute
orders.
Finally, the conferees recognize that information
operations are particularly contested and controversial. While
the conferees agree that the Department should conduct
aggressive information operations to deter adversaries, as is
recommended by the Defense Science Board's Task Force on Cyber
Deterrence in its February 2017 report, the conferees do not
intend this affirmation as an authorization of clandestine
activities against the American people or of activities that
could result in any significant exposure of the American people
and media to U.S. government-created information.

(sec. 1633)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640) that
would amend section 2200c of title 10, United States Code, to
require consideration, in the scholarship granting process
authorized in section 2200a of the same title, of whether the
candidates in question are pursuing education at historically
Black colleges and universities or other minority-serving
institutions.
The Senate amendment contained an identical (sec. 6101)
provision.
The conference agreement includes this provision.
Amendments to pilot program regarding cyber vulnerabilities of
Department of Defense critical infrastructure (sec. 1634)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1631) that
would modify section 1650 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to incorporate
the Defense Digital Service into pilot program authorities for
identifying innovative methodologies and engineering approaches
to evaluate vulnerabilities of Department of Defense critical
infrastructure. The provision would also extend deadlines
associated with the program.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Modification of acquisition authority of the Commander of the United
States Cyber Command (sec. 1635)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1627)
that would amend section 807 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) by
extending the acquisition authority established in that section
for the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, through fiscal year 2025
and raising the limit on obligation and expenditure pursuant to
that authority to $250.0 million.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the increase of the limit on obligation and expenditure. The
conferees direct the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to provide,
not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, to the
congressional defense committees a report detailing the use of
this authority to date.
The report shall include an assessment of any impacts of
the expenditure limit set on the exercise of this authority on
planned Cyber Command acquisition activities, as well as a
juxtaposition of the types of cyber-peculiar products,
services, and technologies procured using this authority and
those cyber capabilities procured by the Services using their
acquisition authorities. The report shall also include the
definition of cyber-peculiar capabilities and cyber-peculiar
services, a description of memoranda of agreements with the
Services for acquisition of cyber capabilities, and details
regarding the acquisition expertise at U.S. Cyber Command,
including the number of senior acquisition executives and
contracting officials authorized to be hired at the
headquarters.
Policy of the United States on cyberspace, cybersecurity, cyber
warfare, and cyber deterrence (sec. 1636)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1621)
that would establish the policy of the United States with
respect to cyberspace, cybersecurity, and cyber warfare.
The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec.
6601) that would amend section 1621 to narrow the policy's
prescriptions to only apply to cyber attacks and malicious
cyber activities by a foreign power.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would integrate
both provisions and would make minor changes to the statement
of policy, striking the priorities of the United States in
carrying out the policy and the policy on sovereignty in
cyberspace. The amendment would also require an update on the
Presidential Policy submitted to the Congress pursuant to
section 1633 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
The conferees note that the policy submitted to the
Congress was incomplete. The 6-page memorandum, written in
response to the reporting requirement of the National Defense
Authorization Act, introduced a 63-page report written in
response to Executive Order 13800. The conferees were
disappointed with the former's brevity and the latter's
significant number of items to be resolved. The report in sum
evinced little consideration of the difficult choices intrinsic
to the policy-making process, instead recommending further
working groups, task forces, and deliberation for the creation
and implementation of a national strategy in cyberspace.
The conferees therefore seek an update on the progress of
the core initiatives recommended by report: the establishment
of a policy for cost imposition, a menu for consequences,
policy-planning guidance, and the Cyber Deterrence Initiative.
In reporting the status of these initiatives, the
conferees urge the President to include, to the extent possible
and protected by classification, as necessary: (1) the
administration's plans, including specific planned actions,
regulations, and legislative action required for their
development; (2) steps taken to date to prepare for the
imposition of consequences against the Russian Federation,
People's Republic of China, Democratic People's Republic of
Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran in cyberspace (e.g.,
zero-day discovery, tool-development, and preposition of
malware) and through other instruments of national power; and
(3) criteria for use of particular consequences, including
criteria as to when responsive cyber attacks are likely to be
particularly escalatory, as to when, and specifically against
which adversaries, responsive cyber attacks are likely to be
particularly effective as means of deterrence, and as to when
the risk and consequences of escalation due to responsive
action outweigh the risk and cost of non-action or action by
financial, law enforcement, and diplomatic means alone.
The conferees also urge the President to include the
administration's considerations and determinations surrounding:
(1) whether all cyber attacks of significant consequence below
the threshold of war demand response; (2) whether significant
attacks on private sector companies outside of critical
infrastructure demand response, including examples of attacks
on companies that might beget response; (3) whether, in certain
circumstances, the United States should privilege immediacy in
response to achieving full technical attribution; (4) under
what circumstances the United States should attempt to blunt,
render useless, or defeat detected attacks through offensive
cyber action in real-time, including examples of such
circumstances; (5) how the United States can balance the
establishment of stable norms in cyberspace and responsive
offensive action, including through diplomatic means; (6) how
the United States balances the sovereignty and equities of
third-party countries whose infrastructure hosts or
accommodates transit of adversary malware, including examples
of feasible and infeasible actions; and (7) how the United
States balances privacy, freedom of action, and values implicit
to a market economy in imposing cybersecurity and disclosure
requirements on the private sector, including an assessment of
the adequacy of current law and regulations.
Budget display for cyber vulnerability evaluations and mitigation
activities for major weapon systems of the Department of
Defense (sec. 1637)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1632) that
would require that the justification materials submitted to the
Congress by the Secretary of Defense in support of the
President's annual budget request for the Department of Defense
include a consolidated display for cyber vulnerability
evaluations and mitigation activities for each major weapon
system beginning in fiscal year 2021.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify
the classification procedures governing this requirement.
The conferees are concerned that the Department has yet
to integrate cyber vulnerability evaluations and mitigation
activities into the acquisition and budgeting timelines of its
major programs. The conferees hope that this provision will
encourage the notion that cyber vulnerability evaluations and
mitigation activities are standard operation and maintenance.
The conferees do not, however, intend this provision to in any
way reveal the nature, content, or severity of discovered
vulnerabilities and thus encourage the Department to protect
through classification any material that could serve to aid
adversaries' discovery of cyber vulnerabilities.
Determination of responsibility for the Department of Defense
Information Networks (sec. 1638)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1633) that
would mandate that the Secretary of Defense transfer all roles,
missions, and responsibilities of the Commander, Joint Force
Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Networks (JHFQ-
DODIN) from the Defense Information Support Agency (DISA) to
the Commander, United States Cyber Command, by September 30,
2019, subject to a certification that such transfer would not
result in mission degradation.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the mandate and would instead require the Secretary of Defense
to submit to the congressional defense committees a report
assessing the current JFHQ-DODIN command and control structure,
the adequacy of DISA's institutional support to the JFHQ-DODIN
mission, and JFHQ-DODIN's resource requirements and mission
effectiveness. The report would also specify a determination
and justification regarding the transfer of all or some of the
roles, missions, and responsibilities of JFHQ-DODIN to the
Commander, United States Cyber Command, along with a timeline
and strategy for mitigating the risk of any such transfer.
Procedures and reporting requirement on cybersecurity breaches and loss
of personally identifiable information and controlled
unclassified information (sec. 1639)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1636) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to promptly notify, and
establish procedures for notification of, the congressional
defense committees in the event of a significant loss of
personally identifiable information of at least 250 civilian or
uniformed members of the Armed Forces.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would insert an
additional notification requirement for the theft, loss, or
disclosure of controlled information of significant volume or
national security concern.
The conferees are concerned by the recent theft of
controlled information from a contractor for the Navy.
Similarly troubling, the congressional defense committees were
only alerted to this significant breach months after the
initial loss. While the conferees understand that extenuating
circumstances dictated that senior members of Navy leadership
were similarly late to notification of the theft and that the
investigation is on-going, this communication delay, both
within the Department of Defense and across the branches of
government, is unacceptable for a loss of this magnitude. The
conferees thus expect the congressional defense committees to
be notified, through the procedures established under this
provision, of future losses of controlled information and will
continue to exercise their oversight and legislative
responsibilities to correct the failures evinced in this
incident.
Program to establish cyber institutes at institutions of higher
learning (sec. 1640)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1637) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a Cyber
Institute at each of the senior military colleges.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1635) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to
establish a Cyber Institute at any college or university that
hosts a Reserve Officers' Training Corps program, with special
consideration for the Senior Military Colleges.
The House recedes.
Matters pertaining to the SharkSeer cybersecurity program (sec. 1641)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640A) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the
congressional defense committees a report that assesses the
transition of the SharkSeer program from the National Security
Agency (NSA) to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1629)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to transfer the
SharkSeer cybersecurity program from the NSA to the DISA. In
executing this transfer, the Secretary would be required to
also transfer all funding and, as needed, personnel for the
program. The provision would also: fence 10 percent of the
funding available for obligation in fiscal year 2019 and
subsequent years for NSA's Information Systems Security
Program, PE 33140G, until the Principal Cyber Advisor certifies
that the operations and maintenance funding for the SharkSeer
program for fiscal year 2019 and the subsequent fiscal years of
the current future years defense program are available or
programmed; require the Secretary of Defense to adopt the
SharkSeer ``break and inspect'' decryption capability as the
Department's enterprise solution for endpoint decryption; and
authorize an increase of $20.0 million to the $790.2 million
requested for the DISA in Procurement, Defense-wide, to
increase the bandwidth of the SharkSeer system.
The House recedes with an amendment that would: require
the transfer of the operations and maintenance for the
SharkSeer cybersecurity program from the NSA to the DISA,
including any associated funding and, as necessary, personnel;
require the Chief Information Officer to submit a report on
such transfer, including a plan for continued partnership with
the NSA in capability development; and strike the funding
authorization.
Active defense against the Russian Federation, People's Republic of
China, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Islamic
Republic of Iran attacks in cyberspace (sec. 1642)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1623)
that would authorize the National Command Authority to direct
the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to take appropriate and
proportional action through cyberspace to disrupt, defeat, and
deter systematic and ongoing attacks by the Russian Federation
in cyberspace. The provision would direct the Secretary of
Defense, using the results of the surveillance conducted
through CYBERCOM, also authorized in the provision, to work
with social media companies on a voluntary basis to assist
those companies in identifying accounts created by personnel
and organizations engaged at the behest of or in support of the
Russian Federation and that violate the companies' terms of
service.
The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec.
6601) that would amend section 1623 to narrow the authorization
to only apply to foreign cyberspace.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would synthesize
the two provisions, add authorizations for action against the
People's Republic of China, the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, strike the explicit
authorization of surveillance, and add a rule of construction
governing the authorization.
The conferees have been disappointed with the past
responses of the executive branch to adversary cyberattacks and
urge the President to respond to the continuous aggression that
we see, for example, in Russia's information operations against
the United States and European allies in an attempt to
undermine democracy. The administration's passivity in
combatting this campaign, as documented repeatedly in hearings
before the congressional defense committees in the past 2
years, in the judgment of numerous executive branch officials,
will encourage rather than dissuade additional aggression. The
Congress has worked diligently to ensure that the Department
possesses the necessary capabilities and authorities to combat,
in particular, these Russian information operations, and this
authorization represents further progress toward that
objective. The conferees strongly encourage the President to
defend the American people and institutions of government from
foreign intervention.
The conferees are also cognizant of the significant cyber
threats posed by the People's Republic of China, the Democratic
Republic of Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran and urge
the President to take action to disrupt, defeat, and deter the
systematic cyber attacks.
Designation of official for matters relating to integrating
cybersecurity and industrial control systems within the
Department of Defense (sec. 1643)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1625)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to designate one
official as responsible for the integration of cybersecurity
and industrial control systems within the Department of
Defense, to include the development of Department-wide
standards for integration of industrial control systems and the
potential applicability of frameworks set forth by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology and similar
organizations.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
that the official would only be responsible for industrial
control systems owned by the Department of Defense or operated
on behalf of the Department of Defense.
Assistance for small manufacturers in the defense industrial supply
chain and universities on matters relating to cybersecurity
(sec. 1644)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1626)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the
Chief Information Officer and Under Secretary of Defense for
Research and Engineering, to improve awareness of cybersecurity
threats among small- and medium-sized manufacturers in the
defense industrial supply chain, including via: the development
of cybersecurity self-assessments to enhance firms'
understanding of network vulnerabilities and the Department's
cybersecurity standards; the transfer of appropriate
cybersecurity technology and techniques developed in the
Department of Defense to these businesses; and the
establishment of a cyber counseling certification program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Chief Information
Officer and Under Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering, to improve awareness of cybersecurity threats
among universities, in addition to small- and medium-sized
manufacturers, in the defense industrial supply chain and to
establish a broader cybersecurity activity for the defense
industrial base as needed.
Email and Internet website security and authentication (sec. 1645)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1628)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to implement the
requirements of the Binding Operational Directive 18-01, issued
by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security on
October 16, 2017, unless the Secretary certifies that existing
or planned security measures exceed the requirements of the
directive.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the specification of actions to be undertaken as part of the
implementation of Binding Operational Directive 18-01 and would
add the governmental affairs committees of the Senate and House
of Representatives as recipients of the certification.
The conferees note that Binding Operational Directive 18-
01 required the following actions, all accepted practices
across the private and public sectors: (1) The adoption of the
START Transport Layer Security protocol for encryption; (2)
Enforcement of Sender Policy Framework, Domain Keys Identified
Mail, and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting &
Conformance for email authentication; and (3) Implementation of
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Strict Transport Security.
Security product integration framework (sec. 1646)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1631)
that would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Homeland Defense and Global Security, the Chief Information
Officer, and the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to select a
network or network segment and associated computer network
defense service provider to conduct a demonstration and
evaluation of one or more existing security product integration
frameworks, including through modification of network security
systems to enable such systems to ingest, publish, subscribe,
tip and cue, and request information or services from each
other.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the
findings.
The conferees note that: (1) The Department of Defense
requires a standard, enterprise-wide, security product
integration framework that provides a machine-to-machine data
exchange architecture and protocol to achieve interoperability
and automated orchestration and coordinated action between and
among cybersecurity services, devices, appliances, agents,
applications, tools, and command and control centers; (2)
Information security products and services need to be
engineered to consume and act on information, direction, and
cues from other security elements on a network through this
framework; (3) A security product integration framework should
ideally be non-proprietary or designed as a modular open
system; and (4) A security integration framework is essential
to achieve the speed, scale, and agility of response required
for cyber warfare and to reduce the cost and time needed to
integrate new products and services into the existing security
environment.
Information security continuous monitoring and cybersecurity scorecard
(sec. 1647)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1633)
that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds for
the Cybersecurity Scorecard after October 1, 2019, unless the
Department of Defense is implementing by that date a funded
program pursuant to section 1653 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to
fulfill the requirements established by the Chief Information
Officer and the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, in the
Information Security Continuous Monitoring Strategy, Comply-to-
Connect Strategy, Enterprise Patch Management Service Strategy
and Concept of Operations, and User Activity Monitoring
Strategy. The provision would also require the Director of Cost
and Program Evaluation to submit to the congressional defense
committees a report comparing the Department's requirements for
information security continuous monitoring and the comply-to-
connect capabilities deployed by the Department of Homeland
Security and the General Services Administration.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would add a
requirement for a review and validation of the Department of
Defense's current information security continuous monitoring
requirements and policies to the report.
Tier 1 exercise of support to civil authorities for a cyber incident
(sec. 1648)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6602)
that would require the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, the
Commander, U.S. Northern Command, and other commanders or
components of the Department of Defense as the Secretary of
Defense considers appropriate to conduct a tier 1 exercise of
support to civil authorities for a cyber incident.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Pilot program on modeling and simulation in support of military
homeland defense operations in connection with cyber attacks on
critical infrastructure (sec. 1649)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1630)
that would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Homeland Defense and Global Security to carry out a pilot
program on modeling and simulation in support of military
homeland defense operations through U.S. Northern Command and
U.S. Cyber Command. The pilot program would be based on the
results and lessons learned from ongoing research exercises
involving local government, industry, and military responses to
combined natural disasters and cyber attacks on critical
infrastructure. The provision would authorize $10.0 million for
this pilot.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would generalize
the program through adjustment to its scope, would eliminate
its required execution through the combatant commands, and
would eliminate the authorization.
Pilot program authority to enhance cybersecurity and resiliency of
critical infrastructure (sec. 1650)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1634) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretary of Homeland Security, to provide technical cyber
personnel to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to
enhance cooperation, collaboration, and unity in government
efforts in support of the protection of critical
infrastructure.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the Department of Defense's (DOD)
ongoing efforts to coordinate with the DHS and expect to see
such collaboration continue in the future. In particular, the
conferees fully support cooperative strategy development and
policy-making to ensure that the DOD and the DHS maintain
complementary roles and responsibilities and pursue mutually
beneficial policies in the realm of cybersecurity. Therefore,
the conferees urge the DOD to place the personnel as part of
this pilot program in: DHS's Office of Strategy, Policy, and
Plans; the office of the Director, Strategy, Policy, and Plans
in the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD); and
the NPPD's National Cybersecurity and Communications
Integration Center.
Pilot program on regional cybersecurity training center for the Army
National Guard (sec. 1651)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1635) that
would authorize the Secretary of the Army to carry out a pilot
program to establish a National Guard cyber security training
center for members of the Army National Guard for interagency
and cross-society cyber education.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that
establishes a sunset for the authorization.
Cyberspace Solarium Commission (sec. 1652)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1634)
that would establish the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, tasked
with developing a strategic approach to protecting and
advancing the United States' advantages in cyberspace. The
Commission would weigh the benefits and costs of various
strategic frameworks (e.g., deterrence, norms-based regimes,
and cyber persistence), evaluate the sufficiency of the current
allocation of resources in cyberspace, and consider potential
realignments in governmental structure and authorities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the
scope of the Commission, tasking it with developing consensus
on a strategic approach to defending the Nation in cyberspace
against cyber attacks of significant consequences and making a
series of technical changes regarding the structure,
authorities, and limitations of the Commission.
Study and report on reserve component cyber civil support teams (sec.
1653)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1638) that
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
Homeland Security to conduct a study on the feasibility and
advisability of establishing cyber civil support teams
comprising Reserve Component members, primarily operating under
the command and control of the Governor of each State, to
prepare for and respond to cyber incidents, cyber emergencies,
and cyber attacks.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
additional considerations in the study.
The conferees note that establishment of cyber civil
support teams may have significant impacts on, or conflict
with, current roles, responsibilities, policies, and resources
of agencies and entities in cyberspace and seek greater clarity
on these impacts.
Identification of countries of concern regarding cybersecurity (sec.
1654)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1638)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to create a
prioritized list of countries of concern related to
cybersecurity based on their governments' hostility,
intelligence activity, criminal activity, and willingness and
ability to disrupt the U.S. government's supply chain.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the
criteria for inclusion on the list.
Mitigation of risks to national security posed by providers of
information technology products and services who have
obligations to foreign governments (sec. 1655)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1637)
that would establish definitions for subsequent provisions
relating to the establishment of a program to mitigate the
risks derivative of foreign governments' code review of
information technology products used by the Department of
Defense.
The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec.
1639) that would prohibit the Department of Defense's use of
any information technology, cybersecurity, industrial control
system, weapons system, or computer antivirus system unless the
provider discloses to the Secretary of Defense: (1) whether it
has allowed a foreign government to review or access a product
custom-developed for the Department of Defense or is under any
obligation to provide a foreign person or government with
access or review of such a product; (2) whether it has allowed
a government listed in the report required by section 1638 of
the Senate amendment to review or access the source code of a
product, system, or service that the Department is using or
intends to use or is under any obligation to do so; and (3)
whether it holds or has sought a license pursuant to the Export
Administration Regulations under subchapter C of chapter VII of
title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations under subchapter M of chapter I of
title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, or successor
regulations, for information technology products, components,
software, or services.
The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec.
1640) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish
a registry containing the information on foreign governments
required by section 1638 of the Senate amendment and on
providers of information technology products and services
required by section 1639 of the Senate amendment, to be made
available to any agency conducting a procurement pursuant to
the Federal Acquisition Regulations and Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulations.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would: integrate
the three provisions (sec. 1637, 1639, and 1640), make a series
of technical changes surrounding the use of ``non-commercial''
vice ``custom-developed''; limit the disclosure requirements to
code-sharing or code-sharing agreements that occurred within 5
years prior to enactment; exempt products, services, and
systems procured or acquired prior to enactment from the non-
use requirement; exempt open-source software; and require the
Secretary of Defense to issue regulations governing the
implementation of this non-use.
While the conferees believe that this provision is a
necessary step toward minimizing the supply chain risk posed by
companies like Kaspersky, the conferees urge the Secretary to
take actions to minimize the potential injury of the non-use
requirement, to both the Department and industry.
The conferees recognize that, absent the required
regulations, the non-use requirement is all-encompassing and
thus encourage the Secretary to exempt from this requirement
any product, system, or service if: (1) Its source code has
been exported pursuant to a license or license exception
granted under the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R.
Sec. Sec. 730-774); (2) It is not itself, and is not a
component of, a National Security System; (3) It is not a
cybersecurity tool, system, or application or does not have a
built-in cybersecurity tool, system, or application; or (4) It
is subjected only to a de minimis disclosure under restricted
access conditions, as defined by the Secretary. The conferees
also urge the Secretary to exempt any further products,
systems, and services and implement this provision so as to
minimize supply chain risk and advance national security.
The conferees also note that the information required to
be disclosed to the Department in the provision is: (1)
generally considered commercial information; (2) obtained from
a person; and (3) most likely confidential. Therefore, the
conferees expect that exemption 4 of section 552(b) of title 5
will likely apply to information obtained under this provision.
Report on Cybersecurity Apprentice Program (sec. 1656)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640B) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the
congressional defense committees a report on the feasibility of
establishing a Cybersecurity Apprentice Program to support on-
the-job training for certain cybersecurity positions and to
facilitate the acquisition of cybersecurity certifications.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the Department's experimental use of
recruitment, retention, and training techniques particular to
cyber personnel, both civilians and servicemembers. The
conferees, however, are also interested in the possibility of
applying traditional on-the-job training, such as those that
already exist in the Services' ``apprentice and journeymen''
programs, throughout the Department for cyber jobs. The
conferees see potential for apprentice programs for enlisted
and civilian members of the Armed Forces as a means to improve
operational capability.
Report on enhancement of software security for critical systems (sec.
1657)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1632)
that would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Homeland Defense and Global Security and the Chief Information
Officer to conduct a technical and cost-benefit study of the
merits of applying in the vulnerability assessments and
remediation of critical systems fuzzing technology, formal
programming, and the binary analysis and symbolic execution
software security tools developed under the Cyber Grand
Challenge program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would expand the
scope of the study to include other advanced or immature
technologies.
Subtitle D--Nuclear Forces
Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the Nuclear
Weapons Council (sec. 1661)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1641) that
would add the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering as a member of the Nuclear Weapons Council and make
a technical correction elsewhere in section 179 of title 10,
United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Long-range standoff weapon requirements (sec. 1662)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1642) that
would allow the Secretary of the Air Force to retire the
conventionally-armed AGM-86C and require the Secretary to
ensure that a conventionally-armed long-range standoff weapon
(LRSO) achieves initial operating capability (IOC) not later
than 4 years after the nuclear-armed LRSO achieves IOC.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1642)
that would allow the Secretary to retire the conventionally-
armed AGM-86C and require the Secretary to begin procurement
and fielding of a conventionally-armed LRSO not more than 5
years after the nuclear LRSO completes initial operational test
and evaluation.

report recommendations from GAO-18-324 will be addressed and
incorporated into future MDA policy documents to improve
technical capability declaration (TCD) and operational
capability baseline (OCB) processes to communicate capabilities
and limitations when delivering integrated Ballistic Missile
Defense spirals. The GAO recommendations to be addressed are as
follows: (1) The Under Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering should ensure that the Director of MDA clarifies,
in written policy, the exact requirements process, and key
milestones necessary to issue a TCD, including a requirement
that the Assessment Requirements Review be held in such a time
frame that it can provide meaningful input to MDA's test plans;
and (2) The Under Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering should ensure that the Director of MDA includes in
capability delivery packages, such as the TCD memos and OCB
change packages, the following: a. The verification,
validation, and accreditation status of the models used in
operational ground tests; and b. Modeling and simulation
limitations that affect operational ground test results.

that would enable proper and expedient implementation of
Electronic Warfare Battle-Management, and Command and Control
(EW BMC2) strategy and policy. If the Secretary determines that
a military service should be designated as executive agent for
EW BMC2, the Secretary should include which Service should be
designated as such and the rationale supporting that
recommendation. If the Secretary determines that no military
service should be designated as executive agent for EW BMC2,
the conferees expect the Secretary to explain in the report how
strategy, policy and governance for EW BMC2 will be implemented
across the Department and Combatant Commands and which entity
will be responsible for its effective implementation.

Title XVII--Review of Foreign Investment and Export Controls
Subtitle A--Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
Short title: Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018
(sec. 1701)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1701)
that would establish the short title of this section as ``The
Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018.''
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would establish
``The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of
2018,'' the ``Export Controls Act of 2018,'' and the ``Anti-
Boycott Act of 2018'' in sections 1701-1793 of this Act.
``The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of
2018'' would make updates to terms in the current Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) statute and add
several new terms. Notably, it would expand the purview of
CFIUS by explicitly adding four new types of ``covered
transactions,'' including: (1) Any non-passive investment by a
foreign person in any U.S. business involved in critical
infrastructure, the production of critical technologies, or
that maintains sensitive personal data that, if exploited,
could threaten national security; (2) Any change in a foreign
investor's rights regarding a U.S. business; (3) Any other
transaction, transfer, agreement or arrangement designed to
circumvent or evade CFIUS; and (4) The purchase, lease, or
concession by or to a foreign person of certain real estate in
close proximity to military or other sensitive national
security facilities.
It would also require CFIUS to provide comments on or
accept complete written notices within 10 business days of
submission in cases where parties stipulate that a transaction
is a covered transaction and allow CFIUS to require a written
notice and include copies of all related agreements. Further,
it would create the concept of declarations and allow the
parties to a transaction to stipulate that it is a covered
transaction or foreign government-controlled transaction.
This Act would also confirm the circumstances under which
CFIUS may unilaterally initiate a review, as well as how a
transaction attains ``safe harbor'' status; give CFIUS extra
time to review each transaction by extending the overall review
period from 30 days to 45 days with a 15-day period extension
for extraordinary circumstances; require CFIUS to establish a
mechanism to identify any covered transactions for which a
notice or declaration has not been filed and on which
information is reasonably available; provide for greater
flexibility regarding the required signatures on certifications
regarding transactions; require the Director of National
Intelligence, for each National Security Threat Assessment
(NSTA), to identify any recognized intelligence collection
gaps, update the NSTA upon request by a lead agency for any
past cleared transaction involving a mitigation agreement, and
submit the NSTA to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence after
conclusion of action by CFIUS; enhance collaboration and
coordination with U.S. allies and partners by allowing the
disclosure of information to any domestic or foreign
governmental entity; clarify the 15-day requirement for the
President to announce a decision to not later than 15 days
after the earlier of the date on which the investigation is
completed, or the date on which the Committee otherwise refers
the transaction to the President; provide that civil action
challenges against CFIUS actions and findings may only be
brought in the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit; instruct CFIUS regulations to provide that
any review of a covered transaction should consider the
national security factors enumerated in statute, and as
appropriate, require parties to provide information necessary
to consider such factors; and require each CFIUS member to
designate an Assistant Secretary, appointed by the President by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate, or the
equivalent thereof, to carry out Committee duties. To address
national security risks, it would grant CFIUS the authority to
suspend a transaction during a review or investigation; use
mitigation agreements and conditions to address situations
where the parties have chosen to abandon a transaction without
a presidential order; and impose interim mitigation agreements
and conditions for national security risks posed by completed
transactions while they are undergoing CFIUS review. A
modification of the annual report and other reporting
requirements is also included along with a requirement for
implementation plans within 180 days of enactment of this act
with a determination by the President as to whether additional
resources are required for CFIUS under the expansion of CFIUS'
responsibilities in this Act. Finally, a CFIUS Fund would be
established and $20.0 million would be authorized for fiscal
years 2019 through 2023.
The ``Export Controls Act of 2019'' would repeal the
Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) (as
continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (IEEPA, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)) other than
sections 11A, 11B, and 11C of such Export Administration Act of
1979 (EAA), and would provide transition provisions to preserve
the export control rules and regulations until changed or
revoked under the new authority established by this title. It
would also require the President to establish controls over the
export of certain ``dual-use'' and military items in order to
advance the foreign policy and national security of the United
States, including a new category of ``emerging and foundational
technologies''. The administration of those controls would be
delegated to the Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Defense,
Secretary of State, the Director of National Intelligence, and
other appropriate Federal agencies. Subject to inter-agency
review, the Department of Commerce would be delegated with
authority to issue licenses and other authorization for
exports. Consistent with existing law, this export control
reform would provide the authority to impose criminal and civil
penalties for export control violations. It also would provide
robust authority to enforce such controls, including the
ability to stop unapproved transfers. Congressional oversight
would also be strengthened over these controls. The repeal of
the EAA would include transition provisions to ensure that all
rules, regulations, orders, determinations, licenses, or other
administrative measures established under the EAA, or otherwise
enforced through Presidential emergency declaration under
IEEPA, would remain in effect unless changed or revoked under
the new authority established by this title.
The ``Anti-Boycott Act of 2018'' would incorporate
longstanding current law anti-boycott provisions from the
expired Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. 4601 et
seq.) continued in effect under IEEPA. It would discourage, and
in some circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from furthering
or supporting the boycott of Israel sponsored by the Arab
League, or certain other countries, including complying with
certain requests for information designed to verify compliance
with the boycott.

DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS
Summary and explanation of funding tables
Division B of this Act authorizes funding for military
construction projects of the Department of Defense. It includes
funding authorizations for the construction and operation of
military family housing as well as military construction for
the reserve components, the defense agencies, and the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program. It
also provides authorization for the base closure accounts that
fund military construction, environmental cleanup, and other
activities required to implement the decisions in base closure
rounds. The tables contained in this Act provide the project-
level authorizations for the military construction funding
authorized in Division B of this Act and summarize that funding
by account.
The conferees continue to believe in the value and
appropriateness of providing a full authorization but
incremental authorization of appropriations for certain
military construction projects. The conferees believe
incremental funding of large and complex military construction
projects enables the Department to execute additional
infrastructure projects in a fiscal year, enables continuous
congressional oversight, and provides opportunities to adjust
the authorization of appropriations level for projects should
issues arise or requirements change over the course of
construction. In instances where the conference agreement
provides full authorization but incremental authorization of
appropriations for certain military construction projects, the
committee expects the Department to award these projects in the
year of authorization and not defer award until the full
appropriation amount is received.

Ch. 42). The provision would also make several technical
corrections to the Atomic Energy Defense Act and remove the cap
imposed on the number of full-time equivalent federal employees
at the NNSA by section 3241A of the NNSA Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that similar legislation was
considered in the course of the drafting of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-
239). The statement of managers accompanying that Act noted
that there was ``widespread recognition that the current system
for governance, management, and oversight of the nuclear
security enterprise is broken.'' The same statement noted
similar conclusions made by the 2009 Congressional Commission
on the Strategic Posture of the United States and several other
bipartisan or nonpartisan organizations. Additional studies and
commissions have agreed in the years since.
The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2013 also created a bipartisan advisory commission to provide
``actionable recommendations that directly address the host of
systemic problems identified by previous studies and by the
conferees,'' later known as the Augustine-Mies Panel. In 2014,
this panel recommended a sweeping series of major changes at
NNSA and the Department of Energy more broadly, including
renaming the Department to be the ``Department of Energy and
Nuclear Security,'' more fully integrating the NNSA into the
Department, elevating the NNSA Administrator to the level of
Deputy Secretary, and other actions to address deep-rooted
cultural problems. The conferees note that a lack of consensus
among the Department and the many congressional committees of
jurisdiction prevented most of the major recommendations from
being implemented, while others have languished in the
bureaucracy or have been implemented without sufficient efforts
to measure success. The conferees appreciate the work of the
ongoing joint National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and
Medicine (NAS) and National Academy of Public Administration
(NAPA) panel created by the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to assess the NNSA's
and the Department's progress in implementing prior
recommendations, and note that the panel's most recent interim
report concludes that activities to implement prior reform
recommendations have not been ``rooted in an adequate
foundation of strategic thinking.''
The conferees note that the Augustine-Mies Panel
concluded that, if ``significant progress [was] not made within
the next two years,'' the ``only remaining course of action--
and a clearly inferior one--is to remove [NNSA] from what is
now the Department of Energy and establish it as an autonomous,
independent organization.''
The conferees note that almost 4 years have elapsed since
the Augustine-Mies Panel made its recommendations, and almost 6
years have elapsed since the 2013 statement of managers
described the nuclear security enterprise as ``broken.'' While
disagreement remains with some of the specific conclusions of
the panel, the conferees have not witnessed significant
progress--only ``changes on the margins,'' as anticipated by
the 2013 conferees. Continued cost overruns on major projects,
critical capital acquisition decisions mired in dispute,
ongoing safety and security concerns, and delayed
infrastructure modernization projects indicate that significant
progress has not been made.
The conferees expect that the joint NAS/NAPA panel will
conclude its work in 2020. Rather than allowing the panel's
reports and recommendations to languish along with over two
decades of studies and commissions on this subject, the
conferees believe that, at that time, the appropriate
committees must work with the Department and the NNSA to
consider major reforms to the governance of the nuclear
security enterprise, but stress that a return to previous,
failed models of organization and management are unlikely to be
an acceptable option.
Finally, the conferees also note that a significant
recommendation of the Augustine-Mies Panel was to ``solidify
Cabinet Secretary ownership of the mission'' of the NNSA. As
long as the NNSA remains part of the Department of Energy under
the current construct of the NNSA Act, the conferees expect
appropriate levels of engagement by the Secretary of Energy,
the Deputy Secretary of Energy, and the Administrator for
Nuclear Security with the committees of jurisdiction on
priority atomic energy defense programs to ensure that the NNSA
meets the military requirements set by the Department of
Defense while making efficient and responsible use of taxpayer
dollars.
