                individuals located within displaced persons

                continue to be drivers of instability that

SEC. 1307. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TAIWAN DEFENSE RELATIONS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States' one China policy, as guided 
        by the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 
        et seq.), the Three Communiques between the United 
        States and the People's Republic of China, and the Six 
        Assurances provided by the United States to Taiwan in 
        July 1982, is the foundation for United States-Taiwan 
        relations;
            (2) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the 
        United States decision to establish diplomatic 
        relations with the People's Republic of China rests 
        upon the expectation that the future of Taiwan will be 
        determined by peaceful means, and that any effort to 
        determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful 
        means, including boycotts and embargoes, is of grave 
        concern to the United States;
            (3) the increasingly coercive and aggressive 
        behavior of the People's Republic of China toward 
        Taiwan is contrary to the expectation of the peaceful 
        resolution of the future of Taiwan;
            (4) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the 
        capacity to resist any resort to force or other forms 
        of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the 
        social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan 
        should be maintained;
            (5) the United States should continue to support 
        the development of capable, ready, and modern defense 
        forces necessary for Taiwan to maintain sufficient

                Department of Defense involving critical 
                minerals that are mined or processed in or by 
                covered countries;
                    (B) identify and recommend changes to the 
                acquisition laws, regulations, and policies of

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

    (a) Policies Required.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
        develop and implement policies to establish a unified 
        datalink strategy of the Department of Defense (in this 
        section referred to as the ``strategy'').
            (2) Elements.--The policies under paragraph (1) 
        shall provide for, at a minimum, the following:
                    (A) The designation of an organization to 
                serve as the lead coordinator of datalink 
                activities throughout the Department of 
                Defense.
                    (B) The prioritization and coordination 
                across the military departments with respect to 
                the strategy within the requirements generation 
                process of the Department.
                    (C) The use throughout the Department of a 
                common standardized datalink network or 
                transport protocol that ensures 
                interoperability between independently 
                developed datalinks, regardless of physical 
                medium used, and ensures mesh routing. In 
                developing such policy, the Secretary of 
                Defense shall consider the use of a subset of 
                Internet Protocol.
                    (D) A programmatic decoupling of the 
                physical method used to transmit data, the 
                network or transport protocols used in the 
                transmission and reception of data, and the 
                applications used to process and use data.
                    (E) Coordination of the strategy with 
                respect to weapon systems executing the same 
                mission types across the military departments, 
                including through the use of a common set of 
                datalink waveforms. In developing such policy, 
                the Secretary shall evaluate the use of 
                redundant datalinks for line-of-sight and 
                beyond-line-of-sight information exchange for 
                each weapon systems platform.
                    (F) Coordination between the Department and 
                the intelligence community (as such term is 
                defined in section 3 of the National Security 
                Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3003)) to leverage any 
                efficiencies and overlap with existing datalink 
                waveforms of the intelligence community.
                    (G) Methods to support the rapid 
                integration of common datalinks across the 
                military departments.
                    (H) Support for modularity of specific 
                datalink waveforms to enable rapid integration 
                of future datalinks, including the use of 
                software defined radios compliant with modular 
                open system architecture and sensor open system 
                architecture.
    (b) Information to Congress.--Not later than June 1, 2024, 
the Secretary of Defense shall--
            (1) provide to the appropriate congressional 
        committees a briefing on the proposed policies under 
        subsection (a)(1), including timelines for the 
        implementation of such policies; and

        officer or former officer who the Secretary of the Air 
        Force determines was not considered for selection for 
        promotion by a selection board convened under section 
        20211 of this title because of administrative error, 
        the Secretary shall convene a special selection board

        shall be convened under regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary of Defense and shall be appointed and 
        composed in accordance with section 20212 of this title

        promotion, and those officers of the same grade and 
        competitive category who were not recommended for 
        promotion, by that board.

        promotion an officer or former officer in a grade below

        would have appeared to the board that considered the 
        officer or former officer. That record shall be 
        compared with the records of a sampling of those

        accordance with the law and policies which would have 
        been applicable had the officer or former officer been 
        recommended for promotion by the board which should

Board.--The Secretary of Defense may prescribe by regulation--
            ``(1) the circumstances under which consideration 
        by a special selection board is contingent upon

                Government office with custody, including the 
                All-domain Anomalous Resolution Office, for 
                assistance with any record concerning which the 
                office has any uncertainty as to whether the 
                record is an unidentified anomalous phenomena 
                record governed by this subtitle; and
                    (G) give precedence of work to--
                            (i) the identification, review, and 
                        transmission of unidentified anomalous

                offices as the Archivist considers appropriate, 
                shall prepare and make available to all 
                Government offices a standard form of 
                identification, or finding aid, for use with 
                each unidentified anomalous phenomena record 
                subject to review under this subtitle whether 
                in hardcopy (physical), softcopy (electronic), 
                or digitized data format as may be appropriate.
                    (B) Uniform system.--The Archivist shall 
                ensure that the identification aid program is 
                established in such a manner as to result in 
                the creation of a uniform system for cataloging 
                and finding every unidentified anomalous 
                phenomena record subject to review under this 
                subtitle where ever and how ever stored in 
                hardcopy (physical), softcopy (electronic), or 
                digitized data format.
            (2) Requirements for government offices.--Upon

                the identification aid describes, when 
                transmitted to the Archivist.
            (3) Records of the national archives that are 
        publicly available.--Unidentified anomalous phenomena 
        records which are in the possession of the National 
        Archives on the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
        which have been publicly available in their entirety 
        without redaction, shall be made available in the 
        Collection without any additional review by another

        Government office that can be publicly disclosed, 
        including those that are publicly available on the date 
        of the enactment of this Act, without any redaction, 
        adjustment, or withholding under the standards of this 
        subtitle; and
            (2) transmit to the Archivist upon approval for 
        postponement by the original classification authority 
        upon completion of other action authorized by this 
        subtitle, all unidentified anomalous phenomena records 
        of the Government office the public disclosure of which 
        has been postponed, in whole or in part, under the

                under paragraph (1) shall address the public 
                disclosure of additional unidentified anomalous 
                phenomena records in the Collection under the 
                standards of this subtitle.
                    (B) Unclassified written description of 
                reason.--All postponed unidentified anomalous 
                phenomena records determined to require 
                continued postponement shall require an 
                unclassified written description of the reason 
                for such continued postponement relevant to 
                these specific records. Such description shall 
                be provided to the Archivist and published in 
                the Federal Register upon determination.
                    (C) Periodic review; downgrading and 
                desclassification of information.--The 
                Archivist shall establish requirements for 
                periodic review of postponed unidentified 
                anomalous phenomena records that shall serve to 
                downgrade and declassify information.
                    (D) Deadline for full disclosure.--Each 
                unidentified anomalous phenomena record shall 
                be publicly disclosed in full, and available in 
                the Collection, not later than the date that is 
                25 years after the date of the first creation 
                of the record by the originating body, unless 
                the President certifies that--
                            (i) continued postponement is made 
                        necessary by an identifiable harm to 
                        the military defense, intelligence 
                        operations, law enforcement, or conduct 
                        of foreign relations; and
                            (ii) the identifiable harm is of 
                        such gravity that it outweighs the 
                        public interest in disclosure.
    (h) Requirements for Executive Agencies.--
            (1) In general.--The heads of Executive agencies

        (1)(B) for the copying of an unidentified anomalous 
        phenomena record shall be such amount as the head 
        determines appropriate to cover the costs incurred by 
        the Executive agency in making and providing such copy, 
        except that in no case may the amount of the fee 
        charged exceed the actual expenses incurred by the

SEC. 1843. GROUNDS FOR POSTPONEMENT OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF 
                    UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA RECORDS.

    (a) Postponement Determination.--In addition to the 
relevant authorities in Executive Order 13526, disclosure of 
unidentified anomalous phenomena records or particular 
information in unidentified anomalous phenomena records to the 
public may be postponed subject to the limitations of this 
subtitle if the original classification authority makes a 
determination that there is clear and convincing evidence 
that--
            (1) the threat to the military defense, 
        intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign 
        relations of the United States posed by the public 
        disclosure of the unidentified anomalous phenomena 
        record is of such gravity that it outweighs the public 
        interest in disclosure, and such public disclosure 
        would reveal--
                    (A) an intelligence agent whose identity 
                currently requires protection;
                    (B) an intelligence source or method which 
                is currently utilized, or reasonably expected 
                to be utilized, by the Federal Government and 
                which has not been officially disclosed, the 
                disclosure of which would interfere with the 
                conduct of intelligence activities; or
                    (C) any other matter currently relating to 
                the military defense, intelligence operations, 
                or conduct of foreign relations of the United 
                States, the disclosure of which would 
                demonstrably and substantially impair the 
                national security of the United States;
            (2) the public disclosure of the unidentified 
        anomalous phenomena record would violate section 552a 
        of title 5, United States Code (referred to as the 
        ``Privacy Act of 1974'');
            (3) the public disclosure of the unidentified 
        anomalous phenomena record could reasonably be expected 
        to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal 
        privacy, and that invasion of privacy is so substantial 
        that it outweighs the public interest; or
            (4) the public disclosure of the unidentified 
        anomalous phenomena record would compromise the 
        existence of an understanding of confidentiality 
        currently requiring protection between a Federal 
        Government agent and a cooperating individual or a 
        foreign government, and public disclosure would be so 
        harmful that it outweighs the public interest.
    (b) Withdrawal of Records.--Senior Agency Officials 
designated in accordance with Executive Order 13526 or any 
successor Orders may withdraw records in the Collection that 
are determined to be both not related to unidentified anomalous 
phenomena and properly classified. The Senior Agency Official 
must notify the congressional leadership and the oversight 
committees of Congress, as identified in section 1841(e), by 
not later than 60 days before each record is withdrawn.
    (c) Congressional Notification of Postponement of 
Disclosure.--In the event that the disclosure of unidentified 
anomalous phenomena records or particular information in 
unidentified anomalous phenomena records to the public is 
postponed by an Executive agency, the head of the Executive 
agency shall notify congressional leadership and the oversight 
committees of Congress, as identified in section 1841(e), 
within 15 days of such decision with a reason for the 
postponement of disclosure.

            (1) the Department should--
                    (A) support increased domestic production 
                of low-enriched uranium; and
                    (B) accelerate efforts to establish a 
                domestic high-assay, low-enriched uranium 
                enrichment capability; and
            (2) if domestic enrichment of high-assay, low-
        enriched uranium will not be commercially available at 
        the scale needed in time to meet the needs of the 
        advanced nuclear reactor demonstration projects of the 
        Department, the Secretary shall consider and implement, 
        as necessary--
                    (A) all viable options to make high-assay, 
                low-enriched uranium produced from inventories 
                owned by the Department available in a manner 
                that is sufficient to maximize the potential 
                for the Department to meet the needs and 
                schedules of advanced nuclear reactor 
                developers, without impacting existing 
                Department missions, until such time that 
                commercial enrichment and deconversion 
                capability for high-assay, low-enriched uranium 
                exists at a scale sufficient to meet future 
                needs; and
                    (B) all viable options for partnering with 
                countries that are allies or partners of the 
                United States to meet those needs and schedules 
                until that time.
    (c) Objectives.--The objectives of this section are--
            (1) to support domestic production of low-enriched 
        uranium;
            (2) to expeditiously increase domestic production 
        of high-assay, low-enriched uranium by an annual 
        quantity, and in such form, determined by the Secretary 
        to be sufficient to meet the needs of--
                    (A) advanced nuclear reactor developers; 
                and
                    (B) the consortium;
            (3) to ensure the availability of domestically 
        produced, converted, enriched, deconverted, and reduced 
        uranium in a quantity determined by the Secretary, in 
        consultation with U.S. nuclear energy companies, to be 
        sufficient to address a reasonably anticipated supply 
        disruption;
            (4) to address gaps and deficiencies in the 
        domestic production, conversion, enrichment, 
        deconversion, and reduction of uranium by partnering 
        with countries that are allies or partners of the 
        United States if domestic options are not practicable;
            (5) to ensure that, in the event of a supply 
        disruption in the nuclear fuel market, a reserve of 
        nuclear fuels is available to serve as a backup supply 
        to support the nuclear nonproliferation and civil 
        nuclear energy objectives of the Department, including 
        collaborative research and development activities with 
        other Federal agencies;
            (6) to support enrichment, deconversion, and

                at the end;

        direct liability, conspiracy, complicity, or

SEC. 5102. PREVENTING CHILD SEX ABUSE.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
``Preventing Child Sex Abuse Act of 2023''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The sense of Congress is the 
following:
            (1) The safety of children should be a top priority 
        for public officials and communities in the United 
        States.
            (2) According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National 
        Network, an individual in the United States is sexually 
        assaulted every 68 seconds. And every 9 minutes, that 
        victim is a child. Meanwhile, only 25 out of every 
        1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison.
            (3) The effects of child sexual abuse can be long-
        lasting and affect the victim's mental health.
            (4) Victims are more likely than non-victims to 
        experience the following mental health challenges:
                    (A) Victims are about 4 times more likely 
                to develop symptoms of drug abuse.
                    (B) Victims are about 4 times more likely 
                to experience post-traumatic stress disorder as 
                adults.
                    (C) Victims are about 3 times more likely 
                to experience a major depressive episode as 
                adults.
            (5) The criminal justice system should and has 
        acted as an important line of defense to protect 
        children and hold perpetrators accountable.
            (6) However, the horrific crimes perpetuated by 
        Larry Nassar demonstrate firsthand the loopholes that 
        still exist in the criminal justice system. While Larry 
        Nassar was found guilty of several State-level 
        offenses, he was not charged federally for his illicit 
        sexual contact with minors, despite crossing State and 
        international borders to commit this conduct.
            (7) The Department of Justice has also identified a 
        growing trend of Americans who use charitable or 
        missionary work in a foreign country as a cover for 
        sexual abuse of children.
            (8) It is the intent of Congress to prohibit 
        Americans from engaging in sexual abuse or exploitation 
        of minors under the guise of work, including volunteer 
        work, with an organization that affects interstate or 
        foreign commerce, such as an international charity.
            (9) Federal law does not require that an abuser's 
        intention to engage in sexual abuse be a primary, 
        significant, dominant, or motivating purpose of the 
        travel.
            (10) Child sexual abuse does not require physical 
        contact between the abuser and the child. This is 
        especially true as perpetrators turn increasingly to 
        internet platforms, online chat rooms, and webcams to 
        commit child sexual abuse.
            (11) However, a decision of the United States Court 
        of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit found the use of a 
        webcam to engage in sexually provocative activity with 
        a minor did not qualify as ``sexual activity''.
            (12) Congress can address this issue by amending 
        the definition of the term ``sexual activity'' to 
        clarify that it does not require interpersonal, 
        physical contact.
            (13) It is the duty of Congress to provide clearer 
        guidance to ensure that those who commit crimes against 
        children are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the 
        law.
    (c) Interstate Child Sexual Abuse.--Section 2423 of title 
18, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) in subsection (b), by striking ``with a 
        motivating purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual 
        conduct with another person'' and inserting ``with 
        intent to engage in any illicit sexual conduct with 
        another person'';
            (2) by redesignating subsections (d), (e), (f), and 
        (g) as subsections (e), (f), (g), and (i), 
        respectively;
            (3) in subsection (e), as so redesignated, by 
        striking ``with a motivating purpose of engaging in any 
        illicit sexual conduct'' and inserting ``with intent to 
        engage in any illicit sexual conduct''; and
            (4) by inserting after subsection (g), as so 
        redesignated, the following:
    ``(h) Rule of Construction.--As used in this section, the 
term `intent' shall be construed as any intention to engage in 
prostitution, sexual activity for which any person can be 
charged with a criminal offense, or illicit sexual conduct, as 
applicable, at the time of the transportation or travel.''.
    (d) Abuse Under the Guise of Charity.--Section 2423 of 
title 18, United States Code, as amended by subsection (c) of 
this section, is amended--
            (1) by inserting after subsection (c) the 
        following:
    ``(d) Illicit Sexual Conduct in Connection With Certain 
Organizations.--Any citizen of the United States or alien 
admitted for permanent residence who--
            ``(1) is an officer, director, employee, or agent 
        of an organization that affects interstate or foreign 
        commerce;
            ``(2) makes use of the mails or any means or 
        instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce 
        through the connection or affiliation of the person 
        with such organization; and
            ``(3) commits an act in furtherance of illicit 
        sexual conduct through the connection or affiliation of 
        the person with such organization,
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than 
30 years, or both.'';
            (2) in subsection (f), as so redesignated, by 
        striking ``or (d)'' and inserting ``(d), or (e)''; and
            (3) in subsection (i), as so redesignated, by 
        striking ``(f)(2)'' and inserting ``(g)(2)''.
    (e) Sexual Activity With Minors.--Section 2427 of title 18, 
United States Code, is amended by inserting ``does not require

        subsection for hours of regularly scheduled work 
        described in paragraph (2)(A)(ii) or (3)(A)(ii) of 
        subsection (b), as applicable, that are credited to the

           TITLE LIII--FEDERAL DATA AND INFORMATION SECURITY

Sec. 5301. Short title.
Sec. 5302. Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative amendments.

SEC. 5301. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Federal Data Center 
Enhancement Act of 2023''.

SEC. 5302. FEDERAL DATA CENTER CONSOLIDATION INITIATIVE AMENDMENTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The statutory authorization for the Federal 
        Data Center Optimization Initiative under section 834 
        of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
        National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
        (44 U.S.C. 3601 note; Public Law 113-291) expired at 
        the end of fiscal year 2022.
            (2) The expiration of the authorization described 
        in paragraph (1) presents Congress with an opportunity 
        to review the objectives of the Federal Data Center 
        Optimization Initiative to ensure that the initiative 
        is meeting the current needs of the Federal Government.
            (3) The initial focus of the Federal Data Center 
        Optimization Initiative, which was to consolidate data 
        centers and create new efficiencies, has resulted in, 
        since 2010--
                    (A) the consolidation of more than 6,000 
                Federal data centers; and
                    (B) cost savings and avoidance of 
                $5,800,000,000.
            (4) The need of the Federal Government for access 
        to data and data processing systems has evolved since 
        the date of enactment in 2014 of subtitle D of title 
        VIII of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
        National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
        2015.
            (5) Federal agencies and employees involved in 
        mission critical functions increasingly need reliable 
        access to secure, reliable, and protected facilities to 
        house mission critical data and data operations to meet 
        the immediate needs of the people of the United States.
            (6) As of the date of enactment of this title, 
        there is a growing need for Federal agencies to use 
        data centers and cloud applications that meet high 
        standards for cybersecurity, resiliency, and 
        availability.
    (b) Minimum Requirements for New Data Centers.--Section 834 
of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (44 U.S.C. 3601 
note; Public Law 113-291) is amended--
            (1) in subsection (a), by striking paragraphs (3) 
        and (4) and inserting the following:
            ``(3) New data center.--The term `new data center'

                        maintained by a contractor on behalf of

                        the contract between the covered agency 
                        and the contractor expires; and

    (a) In General.--The government of a country is complying 
with the minimum standards for the elimination of corruption if 
the government--
            (1) has enacted and implemented laws and 
        established government structures, policies, and 
        practices that prohibit corruption, including 
        significant corruption;

Corruption.--In determining whether a government is making 
serious and sustained efforts to address corruption, the 
Secretary of State shall consider, to the extent relevant or 
appropriate, factors such as--
            (1) whether the government of the country has 
        criminalized corruption, investigates and prosecutes 
        acts of corruption, and convicts and sentences persons 
        responsible for such acts over which it has 
        jurisdiction, including, as appropriate, incarcerating 
        individuals convicted of such acts;
            (2) whether the government of the country 
        vigorously investigates, prosecutes, convicts, and 
        sentences public officials who participate in or 
        facilitate corruption, including nationals of the 
        country who are deployed in foreign military 
        assignments, trade delegations abroad, or other similar 
        missions, who engage in or facilitate significant 
        corruption;
            (3) whether the government of the country has 
        adopted measures to prevent corruption, such as 
        measures to inform and educate the public, including 
        potential victims, about the causes and consequences of 
        corruption;
            (4) what steps the government of the country has 
        taken to prohibit government officials from 
        participating in, facilitating, or condoning 
        corruption, including the investigation, prosecution, 
        and conviction of such officials;
            (5) the extent to which the country provides 
        access, or, as appropriate, makes adequate resources 
        available, to civil society organizations and other 
        institutions to combat corruption, including reporting, 
        investigating, and monitoring;
            (6) whether an independent judiciary or judicial 
        body in the country is responsible for, and effectively 
        capable of, deciding corruption cases impartially, on 
        the basis of facts and in accordance with the law, 
        without any improper restrictions, influences, 
        inducements, pressures, threats, or interferences 
        (direct or indirect);
            (7) whether the government of the country is 
        assisting in international investigations of 
        transnational corruption networks and in other 
        cooperative efforts to combat significant corruption, 
        including, as appropriate, cooperating with the 
        governments of other countries to extradite corrupt 
        actors;
            (8) whether the government of the country 
        recognizes the rights of victims of corruption, ensures 
        their access to justice, and takes steps to prevent 
        victims from being further victimized or persecuted by 
        corrupt actors, government officials, or others;
            (9) whether the government of the country protects 
        victims of corruption or whistleblowers from reprisal 
        due to such persons having assisted in exposing 
        corruption, and refrains from other discriminatory 
        treatment of such persons;
            (10) whether the government of the country is 
        willing and able to recover and, as appropriate, return 
        the proceeds of corruption;

        taking steps to implement financial transparency 
        measures in line with the Financial Action Task Force 
        recommendations, including due diligence and beneficial 
        ownership transparency requirements;
            (12) whether the government of the country is 
        facilitating corruption in other countries in 
        connection with state-directed investment, loans or 
        grants for major infrastructure, or other initiatives; 
        and

                        participating, or it is reasonably 
                        foreseeable that the People's Republic 
                        of China would seek to become a party 
                        to the agreement, in which proposed 
                        negotiating text would provide for

                development status of WTO members;
                    (D) includes a list of WTO members that--
                            (i) self-declare as developing

                        classification for upper middle-income 
                        or high-income countries; and
                            (iii)(I) are members of, or 
                        applicants to, the OECD; or
                                    (II) account for not less 
                                than 0.5 percent of global 
                                merchandise trade annually for

                                completed 5 calendar years; and

                different treatment or standards for

                development status of the WTO members.
            (2) Sense of congress on mechanisms for changing 
        special and differential treatment at the world trade 
        organization.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
        United States Trade Representative, in consultation 
        with allies and partners of the United States, should--
                    (A) oppose the use of special and 
                differential treatment by the People's Republic 
                of China at the WTO;
                    (B) work to preclude the People's Republic 
                of China from being eligible to use special and 
                differential treatment in future WTO

                    (C) work to set appropriate thresholds, 
                based on objective criteria, for determining 
                each country's eligibility for special and 
                differential treatment in current and future 
                WTO negotiations, consistent with subparagraphs 
                (A) and (B).

            (1) the use of policies to restrict personnel from

        linguistic skills at diplomatic posts abroad if not 
        applied judiciously; and
            (2) the Department should continuously evaluate all

        review, or preclusion for whom a review or decision 
        related to assignment is pending; and

subsection (b) shall inform relevant personnel, as of the date 
of the notification--
            (1) whether any prior assignment restriction has 
        been lifted;
            (2) if their assignment status is subject to 
        ongoing review, and an estimated date for completion; 
        and
            (3) if they are subject to any other restrictions 
        on their ability to serve at posts abroad.
    (d) Adjudication of Ongoing Assignment Reviews.--
            (1) Time limit.--The Department shall establish a 
        reasonable time limit for the Department to complete an 
        assignment review and establish a deadline by which it 
        must inform personnel of a decision related to such a 
        review.
            (2) Appeals.--For any personnel the Department 
        determines are ineligible to serve in an assignment due

        designate points of contact in the Bureau of Diplomatic 
        Security and Bureau of Global Talent Management to

        member employment needs when assigning tandem officers; 
        and
            (4) common sense steps providing more flexibility

        tandem couple of Foreign Service personnel.
            (2) Tandem foreign service personnel; tandem.--The 
        terms ``tandem Foreign Service personnel'' and

        Foreign Service and the other spouse is a career or 
        career candidate employee of the Foreign Service or an 
        employee of one of the agencies authorized to use the

        diplomatic post or country as their tandem spouse if 
        they request to be assigned to the same post or 
        country. The Secretary shall also provide a written 
        justification to the requesting personnel explaining 
        any denial of a request that would result in tandem 
        spouses not serving together at the same post or 
        country.
            (2) Tenured foreign service personnel.--The 
        Secretary shall add family togetherness to the criteria

        defined by the Foreign Affairs Manual, for the 
        placement of tenured tandem Foreign Service personnel 
        at United States diplomatic posts.
            (3) Updates to antinepotism policy.--The Secretary 
        shall update antinepotism policies so that nepotism 
        rules only apply when an employee and a relative are 
        placed into positions wherein they jointly and 
        exclusively control government resources, property, or 
        money or establish government policy.
            (4) Temporary supervision of tandem spouse.--The 
        Secretary shall update policies to allow for a tandem 
        spouse to temporarily supervise another tandem spouse 
        for up to 90 days in a calendar year, including at a 
        United States diplomatic mission.
    (d) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of

         TITLE LXIII--INFORMATION SECURITY AND CYBER DIPLOMACY

SEC. 6301. DATA-INFORMED DIPLOMACY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In a rapidly evolving and digitally 
        interconnected global landscape, access to and 
        maintenance of reliable, readily available data is key 
        to informed decisionmaking and diplomacy and therefore 
        should be considered a strategic asset.
            (2) In order to achieve its mission in the 21st 
        century, the Department must adapt to these trends by 
        maintaining and providing timely access to high-quality 
        data at the time and place needed, while simultaneously 
        cultivating a data-savvy workforce.
            (3) Leveraging data science and data analytics has 
        the potential to improve the performance of the 
        Department's workforce by providing otherwise unknown 
        insights into program deficiencies, shortcomings, or 
        other gaps in analysis.
            (4) While innovative technologies such as 
        artificial intelligence and machine learning have the 
        potential to empower the Department to analyze and act 
        upon data at scale, systematized, sustainable data 
        management and information synthesis remain a core 
        competency necessary for data-driven decisionmaking.
            (5) The goals set out by the Department's 
        Enterprise Data Council (EDC) as the areas of most 
        critical need for the Department, including Cultivating 
        a Data Culture, Accelerating Decisions through 
        Analytics, Establishing Mission-Driven Data Management, 
        and Enhancing Enterprise Data Governance, are laudable 
        and will remain critical as the Department develops 
        into a data-driven agency.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Department should prioritize the 
        recruitment and retainment of top data science talent 
        in support of its data-informed diplomacy efforts as 
        well as its broader modernization agenda; and
            (2) the Department should strengthen data fluency 
        among its workforce, promote data collaboration across 
        and within its bureaus, and enhance its enterprise data 
        oversight.

                in critical decisionmaking areas.
                    (C) Promoting data integration and 
                standardization.
                    (D) Increasing efficiencies across the 
                Department by incentivizing acquisition of 
                enterprise data solutions and subscription data 
                services to be shared across bureaus and

                TITLE LXIV--ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

SEC. 6401. PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACTORS.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
the Department should seek to ensure it has sufficient full-
time equivalent positions allotted to carry out its current 
mission, working with the Office of Personnel Management and 
appropriate congressional committees to that end, and that the 
use of personal services contractors should not be relied upon 
to perform core Department functions indefinitely.
    (b) Exigent Circumstances and Crisis Response.--To assist 
the Department in addressing and responding to exigent 
circumstances and urgent crises abroad, the Department is 
authorized to employ, domestically and abroad, a limited number 
of personal services contractors in order to meet exigent 
needs, subject to the requirements of this section.
    (c) Authority.--The authority to employ personal services 
contractors is in addition to any existing authorities to enter 
into personal services contracts and authority provided in the 
Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (division C 
of Public Law 117-43).

        100 personal services contractors at any given time for 
        each of fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026; and
            (2) allocate up to 20 personal services contractors 
        to a given bureau.
    (e) Limitation.--Employment authorized by this section 
shall not exceed two calendar years.
    (f) Notification and Reporting to Congress.--
            (1) Notification.--Not later than 15 days after the 
        use of authority under this section, the Secretary 
        shall notify the appropriate congressional committees, 
        the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate, and the 
        Committee on Appropriations of the House of 
        Representatives of the number of personal services 
        contractors being employed, the expected length of 
        employment, the relevant bureau, the purpose for using 
        personal services contractors, an indication of how 
        many personal services contractors were previously 
        employees of the Department, and the justification, 
        including the exigent circumstances requiring such use.
            (2) Annual reporting.--Not later than December 1, 
        2024, and annually thereafter for two years, the

        justification for the employment, including the exigent 
        circumstances.

SEC. 6402. HARD-TO-FILL POSTS.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the number of hard-to-fill vacancies at United 
        States diplomatic missions is far too high, 
        particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa;
            (2) these vacancies--
                    (A) adversely impact the Department's 
                execution of regional strategies;
                    (B) hinder the ability of the United States 
                to effectively compete with strategic 
                competitors, such as the People's Republic of 
                China and the Russian Federation; and
                    (C) present a clear national security risk 
                to the United States; and
            (3) if the Department is unable to incentivize 
        officers to accept hard-to-fill positions, the 
        Department should consider directed assignments, 
        particularly for posts in Africa, and other means to 
        more effectively advance the national interests of the 
        United States.
    (b) Report on Development of Incentives for Hard-to-fill 
Posts.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment 
of this division, the Secretary shall submit a report to the 
appropriate congressional committees on efforts to develop new 
incentives for hard-to-fill positions at United States 
diplomatic missions. The report shall include a description of 
the incentives developed to date and proposals to try to more 
effectively fill hard-to-fill posts.
    (c) Study on Feasibility of Allowing Non-Consular Foreign 
Service Officers Given Directed Consular Posts to Volunteer for 
Hard-to-fill Posts in Understaffed Regions.--
            (1) Study.--
                    (A) In general.--Not later than 180 days 
                after the date of the enactment of this 
                division, the Secretary shall conduct a study 
                on--
                            (i) the number of Foreign Service 
                        positions vacant for six months or 
                        longer at overseas posts, including for 
                        consular, political, and economic 
                        positions, over the last five years, 
                        broken down by region, and a comparison 
                        of the proportion of vacancies between 
                        regions; and
                            (ii) the feasibility of allowing 
                        first-tour Foreign Service generalists 
                        in non-Consular cones, directed for a 
                        consular tour, to volunteer for 
                        reassignment at hard-to-fill posts in 
                        understaffed regions.
                    (B) Matters to be considered.--The study 
                conducted under subparagraph (A) shall consider 
                whether allowing first-tour Foreign Service 
                generalists to volunteer as described in such 
                subparagraph would address current vacancies 
                and what impact the new mechanism would have on 
                consular operations.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 60 days after 
        completing the study required under paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
        committees a report containing the findings of the 
        study.

SEC. 7339. REPORTING AND INVESTIGATING ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT 
                    AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT WITHIN THE CENTRAL 
                    INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) sexual assault and sexual harassment arise

        toxic, provocative, and sometimes significantly 
        inappropriate behavior is tolerated;
            (2) when supervisors and senior leaders at 
        headquarters and in the field are among the offenders 
        and facilitate a work climate in which toxic and 
        disrespectful behavior is tolerated, harassment and 
        even assault will often go unaddressed and unpunished;
            (3) while establishing clear policies and 
        procedures and enhancing training are necessary first 
        steps toward protecting victims and establishing 
        stronger internal mechanisms for preventing and 
        responding to future sexual assault and sexual 
        harassment within the Central Intelligence Agency, 
        comprehensive culture change driven by Agency 
        leadership will be necessary to accomplish impactful 
        and enduring improvement; and
            (4) it is vital for the Central Intelligence Agency

        disclosing, any confidential communication made between 
        the victim and any employee of the Sexual Harassment/
        Assault Response and Prevention Office, if such 
        communication was made for the purpose of facilitating 
        advice or assistance to the victim in accordance with 
        this section. A victim may consent to additional 
        disclosures.

        Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Office and

        Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention 
        Office employee who received the communication to 
        assert the privilege on his or her behalf, with 
        confidentiality. The Sexual Harassment/Assault Response 
        and Prevention Office employee who received the 
        communication may assert the privilege on behalf of the 
        victim. The authority of such Sexual Harassment/Assault 
        Response and Prevention Office employee to so assert 
        the privilege is presumed in the absence of evidence to 
        the contrary.
            ``(4) Exceptions.--The privilege shall not apply to 
        prevent limited disclosures necessary under the

       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. 2670), to 
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2024 for military 
activities of the Department of Defense and 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.
Disclosure of earmarks and congressionally directed spending items
      In compliance with clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the joint explanatory statement 
includes a table that lists the congressional earmarks (as 
defined in paragraph (e) of clause 9) that are contained in the 
conference report or this joint explanatory statement at the 
request of a Member of the House of Representatives. The 
conference report or this joint explanatory statement does not 
contain any congressional earmarks at the request of a Senator. 
Neither the conference report nor the joint explanatory 
statement contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff 
benefits as defined in paragraphs (f) or (g) of clause 9 of 
rule XXI of the House of Representatives.
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 2024 was $874.2 billion. Of this amount, $841.2 
billion was requested for Department of Defense programs, $32.6 
billion was requested for national security programs in the 
Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 
Board, and $378.0 million for defense-related activities.
      The agreement would authorize $874.2 billion in fiscal 
year 2024, including $841.4 billion for Department of Defense 
programs, $32.4 billion for national security programs in the 
Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 
Board, and $438.0 million for defense-related activities.
      The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments 
in division D of the accompanying joint explanatory statement 
summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement and 
the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2024 
defense programs.

      The Senate contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove 
the requirement for establishing cost caps for CCAs 
specifically labeled as attritable, expendable, or exquisite. 
The conferees recognize that the Secretary of the Air Force and 
the Secretary of the Navy instead intend that their CCA 
programs pursue a CCA aircraft designated with the `Increment 
1' nomenclature.
      The conferees agree that CCAs, procured affordably with 
reasonably defined capability requirements, fielded in 
sufficient capacity, based on thoroughly considered analysis 
and successfully demonstrated concepts of operations and 
employment beforehand, have the potential to significantly 
increase the lethality of existing tactical fighter aircraft.

      The House recedes.
Program of standards and requirements for microelectronics
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 216) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to establish 
a program within the National Security Agency (NSA) to develop 
and continuously update, as the Secretary determines necessary, 
the standards, commercial best practices, and requirements for 
the design, manufacturing, packaging, testing, and distribution 
of microelectronics acquired by the Department of Defense 
(DOD). In addition, the program would provide acceptable levels 
of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for Department 
commercial-off-the-shelf microelectronics, field programmable 
gate arrays, and custom integrated circuits.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
       The conferees recognize that the Department has made 
great strides in increasing its focus and capacity to operate 
in the microelectronics space. However, we note that after some 
initial progress in developing evidence-based standards for 
microelectronics assurance, the Department's investment to 
mature such standards has stagnated. Activities such as (Rapid 
Assured Microelectronics Prototypes (RAMP) and State-of-the-Art 
Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging (SHIP) have provided 
opportunities to test these out at a high level, but the 
conferees believe that more investment, intellectual as well as 
financial, should be made in the foundational work to 
demonstrate that such standards can provide similar or greater 
levels of security compared to traditional means.
      Additionally, the conferees recognize there are some 
specific areas that would benefit from increased analysis to 
inform the implementation of a more mature evidence-based 
standards regime. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense 
to conduct a review of contracts for Department of Defense 
classified, export-controlled, and other applications requiring 
high-assurance custom integrated circuits and application-
specific integrated circuits designed by defense industrial 
base contractors, and provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than June 17, 2024. Such briefing 
shall include how contracts can use (1) Security overlays 
grounded in evidence-based assurance processes and techniques 
and include them in the contract data requirements list; (2) 
Commercial best practices for confidentiality, integrity, and 
availability; (3) Legal mechanisms for data collection and 
sharing to enable security overlays and evidence-based 
assurance processes and techniques; and (4) Automation 
technology to efficiently generate, or access, and analyze data 
to support security overlays grounded in evidence-based 
assurance processes and techniques.
      Furthermore, the ability to secure microelectronics parts 
will require a more detailed understanding of third-party 
intellectual property and how that is accessed, analyzed and 
protected by the Department of Defense. To that end, the 
conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on 
the use and security of third-party intellectual property in 
custom integrated circuits and application-specific integrated 
circuits designed or used by defense industrial base 
contractors for the Department of Defense, and provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees, not later 
than 1 year after the enactment of this Act. Such briefing 
shall include: (1) The range of third-party intellectual 
property used in such integrated circuits, including a 
description of the most commonly used third-party intellectual 
property and any Department concern with respect to its use in 
defense systems; (2) The range of sources of such third-party 
intellectual property and distribution of market shares; (3) 
Licensing and data rights issues associated with use of third-
party intellectual property; (4) The security benefits and 
risks of use of third-party intellectual property widely used 
in the commercial sector, and the current processes in the 
Department and the defense industrial base that address such 
risks; (5) The expense and security benefits and risks of 
defense industrial base contractors developing their own 
intellectual property blocks that replicate or attempt to 
replicate functions of third-party intellectual property that 
are widely used in the commercial sector; and (6) The 
feasibility of developing and acquiring access to sets of 
security-certified third-party intellectual property for reuse, 
including ensuring that such a collection includes all critical 
third-party intellectual property blocks, and taking into 
account current and potential Department of Defense third-party 
intellectual property security process review methodologies.

would prohibit funding made available for fiscal year 2024 to 
be expended for conducting gain-of-function research for the 
purpose of enhancing the pathogenicity, transmissibility, or 
host range of a microorganism or virus.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department of Defense is

      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees believe that the Department of Defense 
should urgently prioritize ensuring that the Semantic Forensics 
program successfully transitions from DARPA to another entity 
without disruption. The conferees note that DARPA funding for 
the Semantic Forensics program expires after fiscal year 2024. 
Therefore, not later than March 1, 2024, the conferees direct 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on a transition plan for the Semantic Forensics 
program. The briefing shall include the following elements:
            (1) A list of identified notional transition 
        partners, including nonprofit and public-private 
        partnerships;
            (2) The feasibility and merits of transitioning the 
        Semantic Forensics program to each notional partner 
        organization;
            (3) A notional timeline with milestones for 
        ensuring a successful transition; and
            (4) A cost estimate for a transition partner to 
        operate and maintain the Semantic Forensics program.
      Given the potential importance of the Semantic Forensics 
program with respect to election security, the conferees 
strongly urge the President to include funding for the program

Annual report on incremental and transformational research and 
        development
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 265) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering to submit a report that identifies the number of 
incremental and transformational research and development 
projects that are in progress within the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the importance of maintaining a 
diverse research portfolio to best manage and balance the 
inherent risk in fundamental science, as well as research and 
development. A diverse research profile may be addressed in 
many ways--support for multiple disciplines, methods, and 
orthogonal approaches being a few examples. Another form of 
diversity would be the estimated time horizon that the research 
may yield an operational capability or technology.
      The conferees note that investments in incremental 
research that can yield a usable product or capability in the 
near term can be important to achieve operational imperatives, 
but without investments in research that could transform the 
technology and security landscape in the future, the United 
States risks being surprised or left behind by advances by both 
adversaries and partners. The conferees believe that the 
Department of Defense should pursue both incremental and 
transformational research in a thoughtful, risk-informed way to 
ensure we have a diverse portfolio for delivering the range of 
capabilities needed now and in the future.

Sec. 361--Review of notice of presumed risk issued by Military Aviation 
        and Installation Assurance Clearinghouse
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 899D) that 
would require the Clearinghouse to ensure that a governor has 
at least 120 days after the date on which the governor receives 
the notice of presumed risk to provide any such comments and 
shall provide detailed information and other information 
necessary to ensure that the governor can fully understand the 
nature of the presumed risk.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Sec. 362--Modifications to military aviation and installation assurance 
        clearinghouse for review of mission obstructions
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 359) 
that would make modifications to Military Aviation and 
Installation Assurance Clearinghouse for review of mission 
obstructions.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.
      The conferees note concern from the Air Force regarding 
the potential encroachment of tall structures in the vicinity 
of land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch 
and control facilities. This provision provides for an 
expedited process under the Military Aviation and Installation 
Assurance Siting Clearinghouse for the Department of Defense to 
object under section 183a of title 10, United States Code, to 
certain new structures 200 feet and taller proposed within 2 
nautical miles of such facilities. This provision applies to 
neither already operating and approved facilities nor to 
existing structures repowered with updated technology in the 
same location as previously approved. The conferees believe the 
uniqueness and uniformity of the ICBM mission in the five 
states in which ICBM launch and control facilities are located, 
justify this one-size-fits-all approach. However, the conferees 
do not believe a one-size-fits-all approach to setbacks applies 
for other military missions or installations. Potential impacts 
to radar, training routes and other airspace needs, vessel 
maneuverability and training, and other military missions 
require mission-specific, location-specific, and project-
specific analysis to ensure protection for military operations 
and training, analysis which is facilitated through the 
Clearinghouse and conducted by the potentially affected 
installations and military services. As the Department itself 
explained in a March 2015 report to Congress, ``Due to the wide 
variety of missions and the variability of impacts on different 
types of obstructions, it is not possible to apply a `one-size-
fits-all' standoff distance between DOD military readiness 
activities and development projects.''
Sec. 363--Modification to Joint Safety Council
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 361) that

the Department of Defense executive agent for the Naval Small 
Craft Instruction and Technical Training School (NAVSCIATTS).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Department of Defense to provide for the sustainment of 
NAVSCIATTS, including through funding for personnel, facilities 
and necessary repairs of such facilities, equipment, and 
maritime craft, in future fiscal years. The conferees note that 
the Senate report (S. Rept. 118-58) accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 adopted by the 
Senate Armed Services Committee requires the Secretary of 
Defense to develop a plan for the long-term operation of

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on 
the electronic waste of the Department of Defense that contains 
rare earth elements and other critical minerals.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1511).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 1, 2024, on the 
electronic waste of the Department that contains rare earth 
elements and other critical minerals. The briefing shall 
include information on: (1) The types of electronic waste, such 
as shredded hard drives and other data storage devices, from 
which rare earth elements and other critical minerals could be 
extracted, and the types of technologies that could be used for 
extraction, including proven, commercial acid-free dissolution 
recycling technology and green chemistry technology; and (2)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 506) that 
would amend sections 7342, 8470a, and 9342 of title 10, United 
States Code, to authorize retirement in the grade of brigadier 
general or rear admiral (lower half) of a director of 
admissions of a service academy whose service in that position 
has been long and distinguished.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Chaplain endorsements
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 508) that 
would require the Department of Defense to make available on a 
publicly accessible database a report of the most recent list 
of chaplain endorsements submitted to the Armed Forces Chaplain 
Board (AFCB) by religious organizations, and the list of known 
endorsements used by AFCB to verify submissions.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Prohibitions on certain adverse actions regarding a cadet, midshipman, 
        or applicant to a Service Academy, who refuses to receive a 
        vaccination against COVID-19
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 509) that 
would prohibit taking any adverse actions against cadets or 
midshipmen based solely on the basis of such individual's 
refusal to receive a vaccination against COVID-19. The 
provision would also prohibit the refusal of enrollment at a 
Service Academy solely on such grounds.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that current Department of Defense 
(DOD) policy states, ``No individuals currently serving in the 
Armed Forces shall be separated solely on the basis of their 
refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination if they sought an 
accommodation on religious, administrative, or medical 
grounds.'' DOD policy further states, ``The Military 
Departments will update the records of such individuals to 
remove any adverse actions solely associated with the denials 
of such requests, including letters of reprimand.'' The 
conferees expect the Secretary of Defense to continue this 
policy for all service members to include affected military 
service academy cadets and midshipmen. The Secretary shall 
provide a briefing, not later than 180 days after enactment of 
this Act, on the process implemented to review records and the 
status of the removal of all adverse actions solely associated 
with the denials of such requests, including the number of 
records reviewed, the type and number of any adverse action 
removed, and the number of records left to review.
Increases to monthly rates of basic pay for certain enlisted members of 
        the uniformed services
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 510) that 
would increase monthly rates of basic pay for certain enlisted 
members of the uniformed services.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that pay rates for enlisted members of 
the uniformed services are being examined by the Quality of 
Life Panel, a House of Representatives oversight body 
established by the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives. The Quality of Life panel will assess the 
adequacy of military pay in the forthcoming 14th Quadrennial 
Review of Military Compensation. The Personnel Subcommittee of 
the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate is also reviewing 
military pay and benefits. Additionally, the conferees note 
that elsewhere in the conference report accompanying this Act, 
the Secretary Defense is required to provide a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 1, 2024, on the results 
of a review of the rates of basic pay for junior enlisted 
personnel in pay grades E-1 through E-4. Such report is 
required to include a comprehensive legislative proposal for 
the rates of basic pay for members of the Armed Forces.
Grades of certain chiefs of reserve components
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 511) that 
would amend sections 7038, 8083, 8084, and 9038 of title 10, 
United States Code, to require the Chief of each military 
service Reserve Component to serve in the grade of lieutenant 
general or vice admiral.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Transfers of officers between the active and inactive National Guard
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 515) that 
would amend section 303 of title 32, United States Code, to 
require the Secretary of the military department concerned to 
prescribe regulations that provide for the transfer of officers 
between the active and inactive National Guard.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Report on foreign disclosure officer and foreign military sales officer 
        billets
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 518) that 
would express the sense of Congress regarding a report on 
foreign disclosure officer and military sales officer billets.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the elements of this provision 
are addressed elsewhere in this Act.
Sense of Congress relating to measures to address suicide among former 
        National Guard and Reserve components
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 519) that 
would encourage the Department of Defense in collaboration with 
the Department of Veterans Affairs to monitor and ensure 
appropriate measures are available to reduce suicides among 
former members of the Guard and Reserve Components who were not 
activated for military service.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department of Defense and the 
Department of Veterans Affairs have both devoted significant 
time and attention to preventing suicide among current and 
former members of the National Guard and Reserve Components, 
and that they continue to collaborate on ways to improve 
healthcare outcomes for such members as they transition from 
military service to civilian life.
Requirement to classify certain persons as unaccounted for from World 
        War II under certain conditions
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 521) that 
would require the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) to 
classify certain persons as unaccounted for from World War II 
if the identification demonstrated discrepancies.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note with concern that expanding DPAA's 
mission to recategorize already accounted for servicemembers, 
and disinterring remains to verify past identifications, could 
seriously impede a significant portion of the Agency's efforts 
to research, investigate, recover, and identify the remains of 
those who are still unaccounted for from past conflicts.
Authority to designate certain separated members of the Air Force as 
        honorary separated members of the Space Force
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 522) that 
would authorize certain separated members of the Air Force to 
be designated as honorary separated members of the Space Force.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Secretary of the Air Force 
already has the authority to designate persons as honorary 
Guardians.
Alternating selection of officers of the National Guard and the 
        Reserves as deputy commanders of certain combatant commands
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 524) 
that would amend section 164 of title 10, United States Code, 
to require the Secretary of Defense to alternate appointments 
of deputy commanders for certain combatant commands between 
officers of the National Guard and the Reserves no less 
frequently than every two terms. The provision would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to waive the requirements of this 
provision when in the national interest.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Inclusion of certain persons who served with the Canadian armed forces 
        during part of World War II in definition of missing person
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 530A) that 
would amend section 1513 of title 10, United States Code, to 
include in the definition of ``missing person'' United States 
citizens serving with the Canadian Armed Forces between 
September 10, 1939, and December 7, 1941, with the effect of 
requiring the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) to 
account for, and if possible recover, such individuals.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that DPAA's backlog of unaccounted for 
individuals from World War II already exceeds 70,000 persons. 
Further, the conferees note that as the individuals described 
in this section were not part of the United States Armed 
Forces, the Department of Defense lacks the necessary records 
and resources to effectively account for them. The conferees 
urge the Department of Defense to work with the Canadian Armed 
Forces to share information where appropriate to account for 
these individuals.
Prohibition on certain communications regarding courts-martial
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 531) that 
would amend section 837 of title 10, United States Code, to 
prohibit a convening authority or commanding officer from 
providing a briefing about a pending court-martial to any 
subordinate who may serve as a member of such court-martial.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
than June 30, 2024, to brief the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives on all 
substantiated incidents of unlawful command influence directed 
at members of courts-martial panels during the period of June, 
2018, to June, 2023.
Treatment of certain records of criminal investigations
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 533) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement 
guidance providing for the modification of titling and indexing 
systems to ensure that a record identifying a servicemember or 
former servicemember as the subject of a criminal investigation 
is removed from the system if that member or former member is 
cleared of wrongdoing.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that section 545 of the William M. 
(Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) required the Secretary of 
Defense to establish and implement a policy and process through 
which a person's name, personally identifying information, and 
other pertinent information could be expunged or otherwise 
removed from: (1) The subject or title block of a Department of 
Defense (DOD) law enforcement or criminal investigative report; 
(2) The Department of Defense Central Index of Investigations 
(DCII); and (3) Any other record maintained by the DOD in 
connection with such a report or DCII entry, under 
circumstances in which probable cause did not or does not exist 
to determine that the offense for which the person was titled 
occurred or that the titled person actually committed the 
offense. This was implemented in Department of Defense 
Instruction 5505.07, Titling and Indexing by DOD Law 
Enforcement Activities, effective August 8, 2023.
      The conferees are disappointed that this guidance was not 
implemented by October, 2021, as required by statute. The 
conferees direct the Secretary to brief the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than February 15, 2024, on this new Instruction. In 
addition to the procedures prescribed in this Instruction, the 
briefing shall include a detailed discussion of titling 
procedures, indexing procedures, and the justification required 
for each.
      Furthermore, the conferees direct the Secretary to brief 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than one year after the date of 
enactment of this Act, on: (1) The number of servicemembers who 
had their titling or indexing information provided to a Federal 
agency for a background check or firearm permit (including 
permits to carry a concealed weapon) during the last five 
years, to the extent that this information is available in DOD 
records; and (2) The number of servicemembers and former 
servicemembers who were titled but not prosecuted for the 
offenses for which they were titled within the last five years.
Primacy of needs of the service in determining individual duty 
        assignments
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 533) 
that would codify the requirement for the Secretaries of the 
military departments to make duty assignments of individual 
members based primarily on the needs of the military services.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that Department of Defense (DOD) 
policy states ``the primary considerations in reassigning a 
servicemember will be the Servicemember's current 
qualifications and the ability to fill a valid requirement.'' 
While servicemembers have always had the ability to express 
general preferences regarding future duty stations, ultimately 
the DOD policy is clear, military requirements are the most 
important factor in assignment decisions.
Tiger team for outreach to former members
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 536) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a 
tiger team to build awareness among former members of the Armed 
Forces of the process established for the review of discharge 
characterizations by appropriate discharge boards. The 
provision would also require several reports to Congress on the 
status and success of such provisions.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Clarifications of procedure in investigations of personnel actions 
        taken against members of the Armed Forces in retaliation for 
        protected communications
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 541) that 
would amend section 1034 of title 10, United States Code, to 
modify the burden of proof required under that section to prove 
retaliation against protected communications of members of the 
armed forces.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, by not 
later than April 1, 2024, to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the number of reprisal allegations made over 
the past 5 years by service members under section 1034, and the 
substantiation rate of those allegations. The briefing should 
include summary descriptions of the allegations and any 
administrative or punitive action taken. Finally, the conferees 
invite the Secretary to offer observations about whether the 
protections afforded by section 1034 are adequate to protect 
service members from reprisal for protected communications, and 
what regulatory or statutory changes the Secretary would 
recommend to strengthen those protections and increase the 
efficiency of the military whistleblower program.
Military education for special operations forces
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 551) that 
would authorize the Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command 
(USSOCOM), to use funds from Major Force Program 11 to fund 
joint special operations-peculiar education, leader 
preparation, and leader development at degree-granting 
institutions of higher military education.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note under section 167 of title 10, United 
States Code, the USSOCOM Commander, subject to the authority, 
direction, and control of the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC), 
is responsible for the training of assigned special operations 
forces (SOF) and conducting specialized courses of instruction 
for commissioned and noncommissioned officers. The conferees 
believe these responsibilities include special operations-
peculiar education, leader preparation, and leader development 
that keeps pace with the security environment and enables SOF 
to fulfill their assigned tasks in support of the 2022 National 
Defense Strategy.
      Therefore, not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the conferees direct the ASD SOLIC and 
USSOCOM Commander to provide the congressional defense 
committees with a report that, at a minimum:
            (1) Defines the special operations-peculiar 
        educational requirements of SOF;
            (2) Identifies any current gaps in authorities, 
        funding, or other challenges that inhibits the 
        provision of special operations-peculiar education by 
        USSOCOM to SOF;
            (3) Makes recommendations, if any, for addressing 
        these challenges; and
            (4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the ASD 
        SOLIC and USSOCOM Commander.
Determination of active duty service commitment for recipients of 
        fellowships, grants, and scholarships
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 552) 
that would amend section 2603(b) of title 10, United States 
Code, to authorize the Secretaries of the military departments 
to establish the active duty service commitment for certain 
members of the Armed Forces who accept fellowships, 
scholarships, or grants funded by corporations, funds, 
foundations, or educational institutions organized and operated 
primarily for scientific, literary, or educational purposes.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Pilot program for enlisted members of the Army and the Navy to attend 
        the Naval Postgraduate School
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 555) that 
would create pilot programs for the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy 
to send enlisted servicemembers to receive advanced degrees at 
the Naval Postgraduate School.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that section 555 of the James M. 
Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 
(Public Law 117-263) removed certain barriers for admission of 
enlisted members at the Naval Postgraduate School. Such section 
also required the Secretary of Defense to brief the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on efforts to increase enrollment of enlisted 
members at the Naval Postgraduate School. Last year's provision 
required a report on these efforts, which is expected six years 
after the provision goes into effect.
Prohibition on availability of funds for elimination of units of the 
        Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 556) that 
would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2024 for the 
Department of Defense to be obligated or expended to eliminate 
a unit of the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps at an 
institution of higher education.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Opt-out sharing of information on members retiring or separating from 
        the Armed Forces with community-based organizations and related 
        entities
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 558) 
that would amend section 570F of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to 
change opt-in of sharing of information for members retiring or 
separating from the military with community-based organizations 
and related entities to opt-out of sharing such information.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that many servicemembers opt in to 
information sharing with community and state-based 
organizations that support veterans and their families, and the 
Department of Defense continues its outreach efforts with state 
and local organizations in support of separating 
servicemembers.
Establishment of program to promote participation of foreign students 
        in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 559) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a 
program under the authority of section 2103 of title 10, United 
States Code, to promote the participation of foreign students 
in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (SROTC) program.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that section 2103 of title 10, United 
States Code, already permits the enrollment of foreign students 
in SROTC. The conferees encourage the Secretaries of the 
military departments to make full and judicious use of that 
authority. The conferees direct each Secretary of a military 
department to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than May 1, 2024, on foreign student participation in 
SROTC within their department over the past 10 years.
Pilot program on recruitment and retention of employees for child 
        development programs
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 561) 
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
implement a pilot program to assess the effectiveness of 
increasing compensation for employees of Department of Defense 
Child Development Centers in improving the ability to recruit 
and retain providers.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees are aware that the Department of Defense is 
in the process of completing a comprehensive assessment of 
Child Development Center employee recruitment and retention, to 
include compensation issues. The creation of a pilot program to 
increase compensation would be premature prior to the release 
of the Department's review. The conferees support increasing 
compensation where feasible and advisable to increase the 
Department's ability to recruit and retain high quality 
childcare providers. The shortage of childcare providers is a 
nation-wide issue, and the Department of Defense must 
compensate providers competitively to attract talent.
Exemption of cadet or midshipman who refuses to receive a vaccination 
        against COVID-19 from requirement to repay tuition at military 
        service academy
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 564) that 
would exempt a cadet or midshipman from being required to repay 
tuition if such individual was not tendered an appointment as a 
commissioned officer on the sole basis that the individual 
refused to receive a vaccination against COVID-19.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees understand that cadets or midshipmen who 
were separated solely on the basis of their refusal to receive 
the COVID-19 vaccination were not subjected to repayment 
provisions. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
establish a process for the removal of adverse action for a 
cadet or midshipman who was separated solely on the basis of 
refusal to receive COVID-19 vaccination and subsequently 
returns to military service or reenters a military service 
academy.
Training on the National Defense Strategy for members of certain Armed 
        Forces
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 565) that 
would require annual National Defense Strategy awareness 
training for certain members of the Armed Forces.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Costs of training on critical race theory
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 568) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual 
report to Congress detailing the training hours spent on, and 
total costs incurred by, the Department concerning training on 
critical race theory provided by the Secretary for the previous 
calendar year.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Funding for Skillbridge
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570) that 
would authorize to be appropriated an additional $5 million in 
the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide account for 
SkillBridge and detail offsetting reductions in other accounts.
      The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The specific authorization of appropriations amounts can 
be found in the funding tables.
      The conferees expect the Department of Defense to 
adequately fund the SkillBridge program.
Access to Army Training Requirements and Resources System on a personal 
        internet-enabled device
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570A) that 
would require the Secretary of the Army to ensure that a member 
of the reserve components of the Army may access the Army 
Training Requirements and Resources System using a personal 
internet-enabled device.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of the Army to brief 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 1, 2024, on the 
feasibility and advisability of ensuring that member of the 
reserve components of the Army can access the Army Training 
Requirements and Resources System using a personal internet-
enabled device.
Military vehicle operator training program
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570B) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a 
standardized training curriculum for military vehicle 
operations, encompassing both classroom and practical training 
components.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that despite efforts to mitigate and 
prevent military tactical vehicle rollovers, rollover incidents 
continue to be an ongoing safety issue for the Marine Corps and 
the Army. Therefore, the conferees direct the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps and the Chief of Staff of the Army, not later than 
90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives on the following: (1) Safety 
training protocols, including the use of practical and 
classroom training components; (2) Risk management procedures 
by vehicle commanders and safety specialists; (3) Driver 
training programs; and (4) An update on efforts to collaborate 
between the services on efforts to mitigate and prevent 
rollovers.
Military training and competency database
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570C) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish: (1) A 
centralized database, to be known as the ``Military Training 
and Competency Database,'' to record and maintain information 
relating to training performed by members of the Armed Forces; 
and (2) A process to make the information in the database 
available to states and potential employers to assist in 
determining if the training provided to a member or former 
member of the Armed Forces satisfies civilian licensing and 
certification requirements.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department of Defense already 
provides servicemembers with an individualized Verification of 
Military Experience and Training (VMET) document, which lists 
the unique military training and experiences of the member. 
This document is specifically designed to help servicemembers 
convey their military experiences to civilian employers upon 
separation from the military, and it is available to all 
servicemembers upon request. Additionally, the military 
services maintain an online database known as Credentialing 
Opportunities for Online Learning (COOL), which provides 
information to servicemembers to see how their particular 
military duties pertain to civilian credentials and reimburses 
servicemembers for costs of obtaining civilian credentials 
listed on the COOL database. Furthermore, the Department of 
Defense administers the United Services Military Apprenticeship 
Program (USMAP), the largest apprenticeship program registered 
with the U.S. Department of Labor. The USMAP program provides 
active-duty military members with an opportunity to use their 
military job skills while on active duty to obtain Department 
of Labor credentials recognized by civilian employers and labor 
unions.
Outreach about military service academies and nomination process
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570D) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish an outreach 
program to increase awareness of the benefits of military 
service academies and the nomination process, and would require 
the Secretary to make available resources to facilitate the 
program.
      The Senate provision contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives, not later than April 30, 2024, a report on 
Department outreach to congressional districts.
      The report shall include the following elements:
            (1) The feasibility and advisability of 
        establishing a program under which Department of 
        Defense personnel provide outreach in each 
        congressional district to increase awareness of the 
        benefits of the military service academies and academy 
        nomination process;
            (2) Resources required to facilitate such a 
        program;
            (3) A description of current efforts of the 
        Secretary of Defense and the Secretaries of the 
        military departments to perform such outreach;
            (4) Resources used to execute current efforts; and
            (5) Such other matters as the Secretary may deem 
        appropriate.
Prohibition on use of quotas based on race or ethnicity in service 
        academy admissions
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570G) that 
would prohibit fund authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
or otherwise made available for the military service academies 
for fiscal year 2024 to be used to discriminate or to use 
quotes in admissions on the basis of race or ethnicity.

        assistance, and related employment services to members 
        eligible for TAP and spouses of such members;
            (6) The feasibility of implementing a pilot program 
        that would require the military transition assistance 
        teams of the Department of Defense to contact a veteran 
        at least twice during each of the first three months 
        after the veteran separates from an Armed Force,

                transition;
            (7) Recommendations of the Secretary (including 
        legislation) to improve the long-term effectiveness of 
        TAP and the well-being of veterans; and
            (8) Other information the Secretary determines 
        necessary to provide such committees with a 
        comprehensive description of the participation of the

of 2023.''
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 592) that

      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that all planned drag shows on all 
military installations were cancelled after the Department of 
Defense (DOD) learned about them during a House Armed Services 
Committee hearing on March 29, 2023. DOD determined that 
permitting non-Federal entities to conduct drag show events at 
U.S. military installations or facilities is inconsistent with 
the longstanding criteria for providing this logistical support 
to non-federal entities, including DOD Instruction 1000.15, 
``Procedures and Support for Non-Federal Entities Authorized to 
Operate on DOD Installations'' and the Joint Ethics Regulation 
(JER) section 3-211, ``Logistical Support of Non-Federal Entity 
Events.'' The JER states that heads of DOD component 
organizations may provide, on a limited basis, logistical 
support (use of DOD facilities and equipment) to non-Federal 
entity events, but only if they determine seven factors to 
ensure that the support may be authorized as supporting 
legitimate DOD interests. The DOD Office of General Counsel 
determined that drag queen story hours did not serve a 
legitimate DOD public affairs interest nor was this an 
appropriate association for DOD.

report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, no later than May 1, 2024, on the

            (1) An overview of the appointment process used to 
        select individuals currently serving as members of the 
        DACODAI, including the nominating source for each

administratively separated for an offense other than a 
dependent-abuse offense.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

      The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Sec. 634--Assistance for military spouses to obtain certifications as 
        doulas and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that 
would amend section 1784a of title 10, United States Code, to 
require the Secretary of Defense to provide assistance to the 
spouse of a member of the armed forces in obtaining a doula and 
International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners 
certification. The provision would also amend section 746 of 
the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) to expand the 
Childbirth and Breastfeeding Support Demonstration to include 
beneficiaries located outside of the continental United States

section 1784a of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
Secretary of Defense to provide assistance to the spouse of a 
member of the armed forces in obtaining a doula and

certification.
      The conferees note a majority of births under TRICARE 
occur under private sector care (65 percent in private sector 
care versus 35 percent in direct care at a military medical 
treatment facility). Implementing the Childbirth and 
Breastfeeding Support Demonstration in private sector care gave 
the Defense Health Agency a large population in which to study 
the demonstration hypotheses while minimizing, to the extent 
possible, the administrative complexity. Additionally, the 
demonstration program is novel in nature, adding providers that 
are not covered by any nationwide insurance or health benefit 
programs. This novelty has meant that TRICARE contractors have 
been required to expend substantial efforts to build provider 
networks, a process that is ongoing. Including the direct care 
births would add unnecessary complexity to the demonstration 
potentially undermining the Department's ability to determine 
if this benefit is administratively feasible in the future.
Sec. 635--Expansion of qualifying events for which a member of the 
        uniformed services may be reimbursed for spousal relicensing or 
        business costs due to the member's relocation

      The Senate recedes.

the results of a review of the rates of monthly basic pay 
authorized for members of the uniformed services in order to 
determine if the current basic pay table adequately compensates 
junior enlisted personnel in pay grades E-1 through E-4. The 
report shall include a comprehensive legislative proposal for 
the rates of basic pay for members of the uniformed services.
      The review of basic pay for junior members of the 
uniformed services shall include the following:
            (1) An assessment of the adequacy of the rates of 
        monthly basic pay for members of the uniformed services 
        in light of current and predicted recruiting 
        difficulties;
            (2) An analysis of how such basic pay, when 
        combined with other elements of regular compensation

        uniformed services;
            (3) An assessment of how sustained periods of cost 
        inflation affect pay for the uniformed services and

        of basic pay for members of the uniformed services were 
        authorized by section 601 of the John Warner National 
        Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 
        Law 109-364).

        of-living allowances for members of the uniformed services 
        assigned to the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and 
        overseas locations
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 611) 
that would require the Comptroller General of the United States 
to conduct a study on the process for determining cost-of-
living allowances for members of the uniformed services 
stationed in the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and 
at overseas locations.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the 
United States to conduct a study on the process for determining 
cost-of-living allowances for members of the uniformed services 
stationed in the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and 
at overseas locations. In conducting this study, the 
Comptroller General shall assess:
            (1) The fairness and equity of the process for 
        determining cost-of-living allowances for the members 
        described above, and the methods for improving that 
        process;

        Surveys and Retail Price Schedules without regard to 
        the geographic concentration of members of the 
        uniformed services within the continental United States 
        when determining the baseline cost of living for the 
        continental United States;

        services to travel to and from the home of record of 
        the member from the assigned duty station of the 
        member, should be included in the calculations of the 
        Department of Defense for determining overseas cost-of-
        living allowances to better equalize the true costs of 
        living for members stationed outside the continental 
        United States with such costs for members stationed 
        inside the continental United States; and
            (4) The process by which the Department of Defense 
        conducts Living Pattern Surveys and develops Retail 
        Price Schedules.

Restrictions on retired and Reserve members of the Armed Forces 
        receiving employment and compensation indirectly from foreign 
        governments through private entities
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 632) 
that would amend section 908(a) of title 37, United States 
Code, to prohibit a retired or Reserve member of the Army,

programs are seldom authorized in the National Defense 
Authorization Act but understand that in addition to support 
services that may be available at individual installations, 
Military One Source can help caregivers navigate the services 
available for those with special needs, elder care, wounded 
warrior care and more. In addition, Military OneSource can

as provide emotional support through counseling.

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

        of the Office of Special Needs
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 639) that 
would amend section 1781c of title 10, United States Code, to

evaluates many aspects of market conditions related to special 
needs through the EFMP.

        spouses: promotion; report
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 640) that

authorities of States to increase awareness of section 705A of 
the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (Public Law 117-333) not 
later than September 30, 2024.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department of Justice is

point person on an installation, or through an existing 
installation program office; (2) Ensure that the Secretary of 
the Air Force, in coordination with the Director of Defense 
Human Resource Activity, revises AFI 36-3026, Volume 1, in 
cooperation with other components of the Department of Defense, 
as appropriate, to make it consistent with DOD regulations on 
the required documents to enroll foster children in the Defense

Accountability Office's (GAO) August 19, 2021 report titled, 
``Military Families: Additional DOD Actions Could Better 
Support Military Foster and Adoptive Families'' (GAO-21-438). 
Regarding the second requirement of this provision, as of 
August 2023, DOD provided documentation to the GAO that it had 
revised AFI 36-3026 to explain the process for enrolling foster 
children in DEERS. The Department is expected to continue to 
work on ensuring that the guidance in AFI 36-3026 is consistent 
with DEERS enrollment requirements.
Prohibitions on provision of gender transition services through an 
        Exceptional Family Member Program of the Armed Forces
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 640C) that 
would prohibit gender transition services through an 
Exceptional Family Member Program of the Armed Forces under 
section 1781c of title 10, United States Code.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Exceptional Family Member 
Program (EFMP) does not provide a medical benefit to 
servicemembers or their dependents.
Recurring review and revision of pay for military childcare employees
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 642) that 
would amend section 1791 of title 10, United States Code, to 
establish a recurring review of pay for childcare employees not 
less than once every 5 years.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Secretary of Defense is 
required to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives any recommendations on 
the grading of childcare employees pursuant to a briefing 
requirement in the Senate report accompanying S. 2226 (S. Rept. 
118-58) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2024.
Discounted child care for child care employees of the Department of 
        Defense
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 643) that 
would amend section 1793 of title 10, United States Code, to 
provide a 100 percent discount on military childcare for the 
first child and at least a 50 percent discount for the second 
child of a Department of Defense childcare employee.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that under section 1793 of title 10, 
United States Code, the Secretary of Defense already has the 
authority to set discount rates, including up to a 100 percent 
discount, on military childcare for the children of Department 
of Defense childcare employees. The conferees further note that 
the authority in this statute was first enacted in the James M. 
Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 
(Public Law 117-263), and the military departments are still in 
the process of establishing policies and implementing the 
childcare employee discount program.
Expansion of pilot program to provide financial assistance to members 
        of the Armed Forces for in-home child care
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 644) that 
would expand the in-home childcare pilot program authorized in 
section 589 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) to 
military families stationed in remote areas where 
servicemembers are challenged to find suitable childcare 
providers and services due to shortages, including Fort Drum, 
New York; Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico; Naval Air 
Station Lemoore, California; and Marine Corps Base Twentynine 
Palms, California.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the in-home childcare pilot 
program is still ongoing, and under this program, the Secretary 
of Defense is already authorized to expand the program. 
However, it would be imprudent to require alterations to the 
pilot program until the Department of Defense is able to assess 
the costs and benefits of the program and make a decision as to 
the viability of in-home childcare going forward. The conferees 
further note that the Secretary of Defense is required to 
submit annual reports on such pilot program, which the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives have received, and will be required to submit a 
final report to the Committees upon the completion of the pilot 
program.

agreement with a federally funded research and development 
center to conduct a study on the impact of accessible, 
affordable childcare on readiness and retention.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that federally funded research and 
development centers are not well situated to assess the effects 
of childcare on the readiness or retention of members of the 
Armed Forces.
Provision of temporary childcare services
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 647) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to provide temporary 
childcare services at military child development centers for 
the children of members of the Armed Forces during a permanent 
change of station, temporary duty, or any other similar 
deployment.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Report on at-home child care programs of the Department of Defense; 
        feasibility study
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 649) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives a report, not later than 9 months after the 
date of enactment of this Act, on at-home child care programs 
offered by each military department.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that several reports on the in-home 
child care pilot are already required by section 589 of the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283).
Verification of reporting of eligible federally connected children for 
        purposes of Federal impact aid programs
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 653) that 
would require verification of reporting of eligible federally 
connected children for purposes of Federal impact aid programs.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that section 579D of the James M. 
Inhofe National Defense Act (Public Law 117-263) required the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
on the feasibility and advisability of certifying the 
information on federal impact aid source forms. In this 
briefing, the Department of Defense reported that it is in the 
process of ensuring that the existing source check impact aid 
verification program is implemented Department-wide.
Financial literacy education in schools operated by the Department of 
        Defense Education Activity
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 654) that 
would require that each student of a high school operated by 
the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) complete a 
dedicated course of instruction in financial literacy as a 
prerequisite to graduate from high school.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that DODEA is already in the process 
of implementing financial literacy education in its secondary 
schools.
Study to review weighted student units for impact aid payments for 
        eligible federally connected children with disabilities
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 657) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
the Secretary of Education, to conduct a study to review the 
weighted student units used for the calculation of impact aid 
payments for eligible federally connected children with 
disabilities under section 7003 of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7703).
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the calculation of impact aid 
payments affects all payments for federally connected children 
with disabilities, and not just those connected with the 
Department of Defense. It would be inappropriate for the 
Secretary of Defense to review or make recommendations on a 
policy under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education 
that would affect all federally connected children.
Process to ensure interstate reciprocity in educational accommodations 
        for military dependent students
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 658) that 
would require the Secretary of Education, in consultation with 
States and local educational agencies, to establish a process 
to ensure that a dependent of a member of the Armed Forces who 
receives educational accommodations while attending an 
elementary or secondary school in a State, and who then 
transfers to an elementary or secondary school in a different 
State due to the relocation of the member of the Armed Forces 
of whom the student is a dependent, has such educational 
accommodations recognized by the destination State without 
requiring the dependent to reapply for such accommodations.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Requirement to disclose curriculum of schools operated by the 
        Department of Defense education activity

        theories
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 660) that 
would prohibit the use of federal funds to be authorized for 
the Department of Defense Education Activity to promote certain 
race-based theories or to compel teachers or students to 
affirm, adhere to, adopt, or process beliefs in a manner that 
violates title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Public Law 
88-352).
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Prohibition on availability of funds for certain books in schools 
        operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity

would not allow funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2024 or any fiscal

a school library any book that contains pornographic material 
or espouses radical gender ideology.

        exchanges
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 662) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to prohibit the sale, at 
a commissary store or military exchange, of goods manufactured

      The House recedes.
Report on effect of phase-out of reduction of survivor benefit plan 
        survivor annuities by amount of dependency and indemnity 
        compensation
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5632) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to 
Congress a report on the effect of section 622 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92) and the amendments made by such section.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that section 622 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92) required the Department of Defense to eliminate, over a 
five year period, the requirement that Survivor Benefit Plan 
(SBP) payments be subject to reductions based on the amount a 
beneficiary receives from Dependency and Indemnity Compensation 
(DIC). The provision also repealed the authority for the 
optional annuity for dependent children for Active Duty/line of 
duty survivors as of January 1, 2023, which means the annuity 
will revert payments to the eligible surviving spouses.
      While the conferees remain supportive of the legislation 
eliminating the requirement that SBP payments and DIC payments 
be offset, the legislation may have resulted in some unintended 
outcomes for beneficiaries, particularly dependent children, in 
unusual guardianship arrangements. Therefore, the conferees 
direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than May 1, 2024, that evaluates the effect of section 
622 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2020 (Public Law 116-92). The briefing shall contain at least 
the following:
      (1) An evaluation of Department of Defense authority to 
continue to provide SBP payments to dependent beneficiaries if 
the Defense Finance Accounting Service cannot verify the 
eligibility status of a surviving spouse;
      (2) An assessment of the process of the Department of 
Defense for determining legibility for survivor benefits under 
subchapter II of chapter 73 of title 10, United States Code, 
and dependency and indemnity compensation under chapter 13 of 
title 38, United States Code, and the coordination between the 
Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs for 
such benefits; and
      (3) Recommendations for legislative action to ensure the 
Department of Defense has necessary flexibility to make SBP 
payments to dependent children, who are eligible for such 
payments and under the guardianship of someone other than the 
surviving spouse.
Fair Debt Collection Practices for Servicemembers
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11001) 
that would establish a short title for the ``Fair Debt

      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Enhanced protection against debt collector harassment of servicemembers
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11002) 
that would amend section 805 of the Fair Debt Collection 
Practices Act (Public Law 95-109) to provide enhanced

servicemembers.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
GAO study
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11003) 
that would require the Comptroller General of the United States

elsewhere in this Act.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

naloxone is available to servicemembers, and to establish a 
standardized tracking system for the distribution of naloxone

evaluate any health conditions and adverse events arising in 
servicemembers on Active Duty one year after receiving the 
first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The Secretary would be 
required to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than

      The House recedes.
      The importance of this issue was recognized in section 
707 of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-263) which authorized the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the feasibility, 
potential cost effects to the Department of Defense, changes in 
out-of-pocket costs to beneficiaries, and effects on other 
Federal programs of expanding eligibility for TRICARE Reserve 
Select and the TRICARE Dental Program to all members of the 
Selected Reserve, their dependents, and non-dependent children 
under the age of 26.
      The conferees are pleased that the Department has 
contracted a federally funded research and development center 
to develop the study's methodology and approach and are eagerly 
awaiting the findings and recommendations, which are due in 
December, 2024.

      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to

that would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish an intensive 
outpatient treatment program to be carried out through

organizations. The program would benefit members of the Armed 
Forces suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic 
brain injuries, and co-occurring disorders related to military 
sexual trauma.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives, not later than April 1, 2024, 
on the feasibility and advisability of establishing an 
intensive outpatient treatment program as proposed by this 
provision.
Medical testing and related services for firefighters of Department of 
        Defense

of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
March 1, 2023, on the availability of annual health assessments 
for firefighters serving on military installations to include 
civilian firefighters who may get their assessments in the 
private sector through the Federal Employees Health Benefits 
Program. The conferees are disappointed that the Secretary has 
not yet provided this required briefing, and direct the

than February 1, 2024.
Temporary requirement for contraception coverage parity under the 
        TRICARE program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 707) that 
would prohibit cost-sharing for any eligible TRICARE 
beneficiary for any contraceptive on the uniform formulary 
provided through a retail pharmacy or mail-order pharmacy 
program of the TRICARE program for a period of one year.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
Sense of Congress on access to mental health services through TRICARE
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 707) 
that expresses a sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
Defense should take all necessary steps to ensure members of 
the National Guard and the members of their families who are 
enrolled in TRICARE have timely access to mental and behavioral 
health care services through the TRICARE program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that timely access to mental and 
behavioral health care services improves the readiness, 
availability, and morale of members of the National Guard and 
encourage the Secretary of Defense to ensure that such members 
and their family members who are enrolled in TRICARE have 
timely access to such services.
Rates of reimbursement for providers of applied behavior analysis
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 709) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
reimbursement rates for applied behavioral analysis (ABA) 
providers under the Department of Defense Comprehensive Autism 
Care Demonstration (ACD), during the period beginning on the 
date of the enactment of this Act and ending on December 31, 
2024, are not less than such rates that were in effect on May 
1, 2023.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
      As noted in the Joint Explanatory Statement to accompany 
the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-263), the conferees believe it 
is premature to enact legislation that would make changes to 
the ACD program before we receive the results from the National 
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's independent 
review. It also undermines the assessment of one of the major 
goals of the demonstration to determine whether the use of 
local prevailing rates for ABA services constitutes the 
appropriate reimbursement structure.
Department of Defense pilot program on health effects of medical 
        marijuana use by veterans
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 710) that

       The House recedes.

that would require the Secretary of the Defense to conduct a 
study on the potential cost and recruiting and retention 
benefits of providing a cryopreservation benefit to Active-Duty 
military personnel.
       The House and the Senate recede.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct 
a study on the feasibility and advisability of providing 
reimbursement to servicemembers for expenses incurred in the 
testing, cryopreservation, shipping, and storage of gametes in 
a private storage facility deemed appropriate by the Secretary. 
The study should focus on Active-Duty servicemembers on orders 
for assignments for which they will receive hazardous duty pay 
or will result in geographic separation lasting 180 days or 
longer. The study should also assess the impacts of such a 
program on the retention of servicemembers, including: (1) The 
number of members of the Armed Forces who elect to leave the 
Armed Forces for family planning reasons, disaggregated by 
gender, age, and military occupational specialty; (2) Whether 
the option of cryopreservation of gametes would lead to greater 
retention of members of the Armed Forces; (3) Methods for the 
Department of Defense to offer cryopreservation of gametes for 
the purposes of retention of members of the Armed Forces; (4) 
The cost to the Department of offering cryopreservation of 
gametes to active duty members of the Armed Forces; and (5) 
Such other matters relating to family planning and 
cryopreservation of gametes for members of the Armed Forces as 
the Secretary considers relevant.
      Not later than April 1, 2024, the Secretary shall brief 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on this study.

August 29, 2021.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
      As noted in the Joint Explanatory Statement to accompany 
the James. M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2023, the conferees acknowledge that servicemembers 
engaged in military operations may experience certain stressors 
that can lead to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress 
disorder. The conferees encourage these servicemembers 
voluntarily to seek mental health care, without reservation, at 
the earliest possible time. The conferees are aware that 
servicemembers engaged in operations in Kabul, Afghanistan in 
August 2021 have received psychological health evaluations and 
treatment as needed.
Financial relief for civilians treated in military medical treatment 
        facilities
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 712) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to issue an interim 
final rule to implement section 1079b, title 10, United States 
Code, relating to financial relief for civilians who receive

would also require the Secretary to hold in abeyance any claim 
under this statute until the final rule is in effect.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
Study on provider training gaps with respect to screening and treatment 
        of maternal mental health conditions
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 714) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study to 
identify gaps in the training of providers with respect to the 
screening and treatment of maternal mental health conditions, 
and to submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives a report on the findings of 
the study.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
      In August 2022, the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives received a report from 
the Department of Defense in response to the Senate report 
accompanying S. 2792 (S. Rept. 117-39) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, that demonstrated the 
consistent high quality of perinatal health care services 
provided in the direct care component of the military health 
system. According to the report, the pregnancy-related 
mortality ratio in such component was 2.91 deaths per 100,000 
live births as compared to 23.80 deaths per 100,000 live births 
in civilian hospitals. Furthermore, the conferees note that the 
military health system collaborates with external 
organizations, such as the Leapfrog Group, to adopt leading 
practices to decrease maternal mortality further. The conferees 
commend the providers in the military health system for their 
efforts to prevent pregnancy-related mortality, and encourage 
them to continue promotion of innovative practices to assess 
and treat maternal mental health conditions and to prevent 
maternal mortality.
Expansion of wounded warrior service dog program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 715) that

by requiring the Secretary of Defense to award grants to 
nonprofit organizations with a primary mission of raising, 
training, and furnishing assistance dogs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives, not later than June 1, 2024, 
on the feasibility and advisability of expanding the Wounded 
Warrior Service Dog Program by establishing a grant program for 
the benefit of nonprofit organizations with a primary mission 
of raising, training, and furnishing assistance dogs.
Prohibition on payment and reimbursement by Department of Defense of 
        expenses relating to abortion services
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 716) that 
would express the sense of Congress related to the prohibition 
in section 1093 of title 10, United States Code, on the 
availability of funds to the Department of Defense to perform 
abortions except where the life of the mother would be 
endangered if the fetus were carried to term or in a case where 
the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. The provision 
would also repeal the Department of Defense memorandum entitled 
``Ensuring Access to Reproductive Health Care,'' dated October 
10, 2022. The provision would further amend section 1093 of 
title 10, United States Code, by prohibiting the Secretary of 
Defense from reimbursing any fees or expenses, including travel

require that the Surgeon General of the Navy hold the grade of

      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees acknowledge current authority for the Navy 
Surgeon General to serve in the grade of O-9 if nominated and 
confirmed to serve in that grade.
Clarification of responsibilities regarding the integrated disability 
        evaluation system
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 722) that 
would amend section 1073c of title 10, United States Code, to 
enhance the operational and administrative control of 
servicemembers who are being considered by a medical evaluation

evaluation system.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees are aware of concerns regarding 
accountability and due process for servicemembers in the 
integrated disability evaluation system (IDES) process. The 
disability evaluation process can be cumbersome, time 
intensive, and confusing for servicemembers. The conferees are 
troubled by the continued frustrations servicemembers have with 
the lack of transparency and accountability in the process. The 
Senate report accompanying S. 2226 (S. Rept. 118-58) required 
the Secretaries of the military departments to provide a 
briefing on several portions of the IDES process and submit 
that report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and House of Representatives no later than March 1, 2024. The 
conferees look forward to receiving and reviewing that report.

        respect to medical malpractice claims by members of the

malpractice claimants a copy of all written reports, other than 
medical quality assurance records, prepared by a medical expert 
with respect to the claimant's claim.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

        conditions of members of the Armed Forces and their dependents 
        on military readiness and retention
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 723) 
that would require the Comptroller General of the United States 
to conduct a study on perinatal mental health conditions among 
members of the Armed Forces and their dependents. The provision 
would require the Comptroller General to submit a report on the 
findings of the study to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than one 
year after the date of enactment of this Act.

      The House recedes.
      The conferees are concerned that expanding the 
recognition of board certification for physicians to other

DHA credentialing and privileging system works well, and that 
it instills beneficiary confidence in the quality of DHA 
medical providers.

that would extend the mission management pilot program, as 
authorized by section 871 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), and update the 
requirements of the pilot program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset 
the extension on December 31, 2028.
Sec. 872--Extension of pilot program to incentivize contracting with 
        employee-owned businesses
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 891) that 
would extend the length of the employee-owned business 
contracting incentive pilot program by 3 years and increase the 
number of available contracts from 9 to 25.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

progress payment rate that large businesses are eligible for by 
up to 10 additional percentage points.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
            The House recedes with an amendment that would 
        establish this as an opt-in pilot program to provide 
        flexibility for industry to choose to participate or 
        not, and to have the Department of Defense establish 
        clear and measurable criteria for incentivizing the 
        higher progress payment rate.
Sec. 875--Study on reducing barriers to acquisition of commercial 
        products and services
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Pilot program on payment of costs for denied Government Accountability 
        Office bid protests
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 804) that 
would reestablish a loser pays pilot program to award 
reimbursement to the Department of Defense for costs incurred 
from contract award protests denied by the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO).
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that frivolous protests to Department 
contracting decisions have the potential to be a burden on the 
Department, slow acquisition of capabilities, impose additional 
costs on the taxpayer, and disadvantage small business 
contractors with less resources to bring or fight protests. 
While data from the GAO and the RAND Corporation found that bid 
protests were rare, and that there were no indications of abuse 
by medium or large contractors, the conferees continue to 
support efforts to improve the handling of bid protests to 
ensure they are fair, equitable, and they provide opportunities 
for recourse for industry and the government. Additionally, the 
conferees note the impact that bridge contracts may have on 
incumbent contractors to protest awards with GAO, at the agency 
level, or with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC). 
However, the committee recognizes that a GAO loser pays pilot 
could encourage losing bidders to pursue protests at the agency 
and COFC levels, which may result in a more time-intensive and 
costly protest process, and thus higher costs and delayed 
timelines for the government.
Low-methane intensity natural gas pilot program
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
would authorize the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency to 
establish a pilot program to demonstrate the feasibility of 
Department of Defense installations using certified low-methane 
intensity natural gas.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2024, on 
the feasibility and advisability of establishing a pilot 
program to demonstrate the use of certified low-methane 
intensity natural gas on military installations located within 
the continental United States. The report shall include a 
description of any potential uses and benefits of low-methane 
intensity natural gas to meet the energy requirements of 
military installations and operational energy requirements of 
the Department, the recommended number of military 
installations for the pilot program, and a proposed timeline 
for the use of low-methane intensity natural gas for the pilot 
program, if deemed feasible and advisable.
Sense of the Senate on independent cost assessment
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 807) 
that would express the sense of the Senate on independent cost 
assessment.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the capabilities for performing 
timely, rigorous, and methodologically defensible cost 
assessments for the Department of Defense are a critical 
element of a sustainable modernization strategy for the United 
States. The demand for independent cost estimates has only 
grown in recent years. The conferees urge the Secretaries of 
Defense and of the military services to continue to provide 
robust support for cost estimation activities, including the 
Cost Assessment Data Enterprise, particularly to ensure there 
are sufficient personnel, adequately trained and equipped with 
the tools necessary to carry out such an important function.
Research, development, testing, and evaluation contract cost sharing
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 809) that 
would require that for any contract that is awarded under or 
pursuant to a provision of this Act using research, 
development, test and evaluation funding, not less than 25 
percent of the cost of such activities under such contract must 
be provided by a non-Federal source.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Prohibition and report on contracts for online tutoring services
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 810) that 
would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from entering into, or 
renewing, a contract for online tutoring services from an 
entity owned or controlled by the Government of the People's 
Republic of China, unless a waiver is approved by the 
Secretary.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
821).
      The conference agreement does not include either 
provision.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2024, 
on the process used to reduce the risk of foreign influence in 
online tutoring and educational services. This briefing shall 
include:
            (1) The results of the Committee on Foreign 
        Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review(s) for 
        all online tutoring services used by the Department, if 
        any;
            (2) The mitigation plan(s) developed to address any 
        risks identified in (1); and
            (3) A determination about whether additional CFIUS 
        reviews are warranted including criteria for when 
        follow-on CFIUS reviews should occur.
      Furthermore, the conferees note that there is a related 
reporting requirement in the committee report accompanying S. 
2226 (S. Rept. 118-58), the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2024, as passed by the Senate. The conferees 
encourage the Department to merge these requirements into a 
single response.
Enhancement of Department of Defense capabilities to prevent contractor 
        fraud
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 813) 
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary 
of a military department to withhold contractual payments 
pending the resolution of allegations that the contractor 
offered or gave a gratuity to an officer, official, or employee 
of the United States Government to influence a contract.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Inventory of inflation and escalation indices
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 816) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to conduct an inventory of 
inflation and escalation indices currently used for contracting 
and pricing purposes across the Department, and to make this 
inventory available as a resource for all government and 
industry contracting and pricing professionals by September 30, 
2024.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees are aware that the Department of Defense 
relies on a combination of inflation and price escalation 
indices from both commercial and government sources. The 
committee encourages the Department, to the extent practical, 
to rely on a standardized set of indices and make the 
identification of the specific indices available for the public 
and for industry. The conferees believe such a move will 
support transparent budgeting and cost data for more 
standardized comparison, for government and industry provided 
data.
Competition requirements for purchases from Federal Prison Industries
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that 
would amend competition requirements for federal prison 
industries.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Repeal of bonafide office rule for 8(a) contracts with the Department 
        of Defense
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) 
that would repeal the bonafide office rule for 8(a) contracts 
with the Department of Defense.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Avoidance of use of lowest price technically acceptable source 
        selection process for certain logistics services
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 828) that 
would require the Department of Defense to avoid Lowest Price 
Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection criteria to the 
maximum extent possible for fuel and fuel-related services, if 
such services are, or reasonably could be, controlled by an 
adversary.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note continued questions about failed 
delivery of fuel and fuel related services from vendors through 
LPTA source selection in Oversees Contingency Operations (OCO). 
The William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) required an 
Inspector General briefing on the issue and the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-
81) required consideration of tradeoff processes for OCO fuel 
contracting. The conferees urge the Defense Logistics Agency to 
consider a broader tradeoff methodology for fuel and fuel 
related contracting that considers past performance, technical 
and quality abilities, cyber-preparedness, as well as price. 
Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment, in consultation with Director 
of the Defense Logistics Agency, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act, on a broader tradeoff methodology for 
fuel and fuel related service contracting in OCO that includes 
data on failed delivery from vendors from the past 5 years and 
an analysis of risk to such failed deliveries in the U.S. 
Central Command and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command areas of 
responsibility in the future.
Pilot program on the use of acquisition authority for Office of Naval 
        Research to aid in technology transition
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that 
would delegate to the Chief of Naval Research acquisition 
authority to enter into contracts or other agreements for the 
commercialization of a prototype of the Department of the Navy.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Defense industrial base advanced capabilities pilot program
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 853) that 
would establish a public-private partnership pilot program to 
accelerate the scaling, production, and acquisition of advanced 
capabilities for national security.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
831).
      The conference agreement does not include either 
provision.
Prohibition on computers or printers acquisitions involving entities 
        owned or controlled by China
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that 
would prohibit computers or printers acquisition involving 
entities controlled by China.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the Inspector General's audit of 
cybersecurity risks in government purchases from 2019 that 
highlighted certain purchases of printers and computers from 
companies that are owned or controlled by entities in the 
People's Republic of China. The conferees are aware of the 
Department's risk-based approach to information technology, 
that includes use of the authorities provided to the Federal 
Acquisition Security Council (FASC). However, the conferees 
remain concerned that all risks may not have been fully 
mitigated by the Department, and direct the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment to brief the 
congressional defense committees, not later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act, on current approaches and efforts to 
mitigate risks of acquiring computers and printers from 
entities owned or controlled by entities in the People's 
Republic of China and the burden that would be placed on the 
Department by prohibiting acquisition of computers and printers 
from entities owned or controlled by entities in the People's 
Republic of China.
Modifications to data, policy, and reporting on the use of other 
        transactions
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that 
would require the Government Accountability Office to report on 
the Department of Defense's use of other transaction authority 
contracts.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the 
United States to submit to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
February 1, 2025, a report on the use of transactions 
authorized under sections 4021 and 4022 of title 10, United 
States Code, including:
            (1) The extent to which such transactions are used 
        in accordance with policy and guidance related to the 
        use of such transactions;
            (2) The total number of transactions for each 
        fiscal year made to nontraditional defense contractors 
        (as defined in section 3014 of title 10, United States 
        Code); and
            (3) A summary of such transactions to which the 
        Department of Defense is a participant for which 
        performance has not been completed on the date of 
        submission of such report, including--
                    (a) a description of the entity or agency 
                responsible for any consortium;
                    (b) the number of members in each 
                consortium, including the percentage of such 
                members who are nontraditional defense 
                contractors for each such consortium;
                    (c) the total amount awarded under such 
                transactions to each consortium manager for 
                fiscal years 2022 and 2023;
                    (d) the total amount awarded under such 
                transactions to members who are nontraditional 
                defense contractors for each such consortium 
                for fiscal years 2022 and 2023; and
                    (e) a list of contractors who have been 
                awarded more than $20.0 million under such 
                transactions, including a brief description of 
                each such award, the number of awards made, and 
                the total dollar amount awarded for fiscal 
                years 2022 and 2023.

        industrial capacity
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 833) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct analysis 
and provide recommendations on sourcing restrictions for a 
number of covered items.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Strengthening truthful cost or pricing data requirements
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that 
would amend Section 3702(a)(1) of title 10, United States Code, 
by striking ``only expected to receive one bid shall be 
required'' and inserting ``only expected to have one offeror, 
or for which award of a cost-reimbursement contract is 
contemplated regardless of the number of offers received, shall 
be required'', and by adding new exceptions for such 
requirement. Further, this section would amend section 
3503(a)(2) of title 41, United States Code, by inserting 
``based on adequate price competition that results in at least 
two responsive and responsible offers'' after ``commercial 
service''.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Pilot program on capital assistance to support defense investment in 
        the industrial base
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 834) 
that would allow the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
program under this section to use certain financial instruments 
to support defense investment in the industrial base.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Requirement to buy certain satellite components from national 
        technology and industrial base
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 835) 
that would require any contract that requires any traveling-
wave tubes and traveling-wave tube amplifier (TWTA) to be 
included in the design of U.S. Government satellites used for 
national security, defense, or intelligence purposes to be 
sourced from a contractor in a country that is a member of the 
National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB).
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees are aware that there are concerns with the 
resilience and robustness of the defense supply chain, 
including for space-qualified systems. In particular, the 
Department of Defense Industrial Capabilities Report to 
Congress 2020 Annual Report called out 119 essential space 
capabilities with supply chain risks, such as traveling wave 
tube amplifiers (TWTA). For that capability in particular, it 
was noted that there is a sole domestic supplier that competes 
with a single foreign provider that is able to provide more 
competitive products and pricing. The report further notes that 
``[h]aving a strong domestic source would reduce dependence on 
the foreign source and ensure availability of [National 
Security Space] specific TWTAs.'' The committee further notes 
that in some cases these TWTAs are used in critical hardware 
used for nuclear command, control, and communications to ensure 
the President has direct control of our nuclear deterrent and 
for which the supply of U.S. trusted electronics and parts is 
essential as well as certain national security space systems 
for which a failure could range in billions of taxpayer dollars 
and years to recover from.
      Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
on the state of the TWTA industrial base to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than June 17, 2024. Such briefing 
shall include:
            (1) Assessment of the current TWTA needs for 
        national security space programs across the future 
        years defense program (FYDP), including projected 
        timelines, anticipated quantities, and identification 
        of sensitive applications where additional domestic 
        supply sources would be recommended by the Department;
            (2) Assessment of the health and viability of the 
        current supply base for TWTAs, including performance, 
        capacity, and capability of current suppliers as well 
        as any companies that might be induced to enter into 
        this market;
            (3) Identification of supply chain bottlenecks 
        negatively impacting production lead times or costs;
            4) Identification of policy, regulatory, 
        programmatic, funding, or other impediments affecting 
        the ability of suppliers to meet projected production 
        needs identified in (1);
            (5) Recommendations for whether development or 
        procurement of systems with TWTAs should require 
        domestic content, how domestic sources of supply could 
        be made more competitive, and an assessment of the 
        estimated cost of implementing domestic content 
        requirements; and
            (6) Any suggested legislation that may be needed to 
        ensure national security space TWTA requirements can be 
        satisfied in the near-term across the FYDP, as well as 
        in the longer-term in the 2034-time frame, including 
        legislation that could bolster domestic production 
        capability and capacity.
Sense of Congress relating to rubber supply
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 846) that 
would express the sense of Congress regarding rubber supply.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
836).
      The conference agreement does not include either 
provision.
      The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to 
lessen dependence on adversarial nations for the procurement of 
strategic and critical materials, including natural rubber, as 
a stable source for tire manufacturing and production of other 
components.
Inclusion of titanium powder in definition of specialty metals exempted 
        from certain domestic sourcing requirements
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that 
would add titanium powder in the definition of specialty metals 
exempted from certain domestic sourcing requirements.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than June 1, 2024, on the 
Department's efforts to identify and develop domestic or 
otherwise secure sources of supply for titanium powder for use 
in defense supply chains.
Modification to miscellaneous limitations on the procurement of goods 
        other than United States goods

would require propulsion system components and power generation 
systems to be procured and manufactured within the National 
Technology Industrial Base.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Timely payments for Department of Defense small business subcontractors
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 844) 
that would improve the timeliness of payments made to 
Department of Defense small business subcontractors.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Procurement of covered hearing protection devices
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 845) that 
would allow the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
head of the Hearing Center of Excellence, to enter into one or 
more contracts to procure covered hearing protection devices 
for all members of the Armed Forces.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note of the importance of identifying and 
making available hearing protection devices for the Department 
of Defense community. The conferees are aware of commercially-
available active hearing protection devices that have the 
potential to prevent hearing injury while allowing 
servicemembers to remain cognizant of their operational 
environment; benefit from improved overall situational 
awareness; and increase mission effectiveness, safety, and 
survivability. Further, the conferees have been informed that 
the Army Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier is the lead 
office for the procurement and testing of these devices, and 
has recently acquired some available systems for testing and 
evaluation. The conferees are aware that such testing is 
anticipated to begin in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. 
The conferees look forward to receiving the results of such 
testing from the Army in order to better understand the 
suitability of these devices for issuance to servicemembers 
that may benefit from increased protection from hazardous and 
operational noise.
Extension of pilot program for streamlined technology transition from 
        the SBIR and STTR programs of the Department of Defense

deployment, and iterative improvements.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Amendments to contracting authority for certain small business concerns
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 852) 
that would amend contracts for socially and economically 
disadvantaged small businesses, certain small businesses owned 
and controlled by women, HUBZone small businesses, and small 
businesses owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Limitation on the availability of funds pending a plan for implementing 
        the replacement for the Selection Acquisition Reporting system
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 861) 
that would limit the use of travel funds for the Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 
until that office provides a plan for how it intends to 
implement the requirements of section 809 of the James M. 
Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 
(Public Law 117-263) for a replacement for the Selected 
Acquisition Reporting system.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

would modify the use of the Industrial Base Fund to include 
supporting the large surface combatant industrial base.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the effective use of the Industrial 
Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program to support the 
submarine industrial base. Given the importance of the 
shipbuilding industrial base as a whole, the Department of 
Defense should find ways to expand this model to support 
surface combatant production, as well as submarines.
Redesignation of Industrial Base Fund as Industrial Base and 
        Operational Infrastructure Fund; additional uses
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that 
would redefine and expand the purposes of the Industrial Base 
Analysis and Sustainment Fund.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the effective use of the Industrial 
Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program to support 
critical industries and supply chains within the defense 
industrial base. The conferees encourage the Department of 
Defense to expand the use of IBAS, where appropriate, to 
protect and develop domestic production of key supply chains.
Modification to procurement requirements relating to rare earth 
        elements and strategic and critical materials
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that 
would modify procurement requirements relating to rare earth 
elements and strategic and critical materials.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Enhanced domestic content requirement for navy shipbuilding programs
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 866) 
that would include additional restrictions on purchasing non-
domestic components for Navy shipbuilding programs.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Addition of Administrator of the Small Business Administration to the 
        Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 867) 
that would amend section 1302(b)(1) of title 41, United States 
Code, by adding a new subparagraph to include the Small 
Business Administration as a representative on the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Council.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Study and report on country of origin of end items and components 
        procured by Department of Defense
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 868) that 
would require a study and report by the Comptroller General of 
the United States to identify the degree to which the 
Department of Defense is dependent on entities located in 
foreign countries for the procurement of certain end items and 
components.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the assurance of supply chains 
for critical components and items is essential for our national 
security. Therefore, the conferees direct the Comptroller 
General of the United States to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 31, 2024, on the degree 
to which the Department of Defense is dependent on entities 
located in foreign countries for the procurement of certain end 
items and components. The briefing shall include:
            (1) A description of the extent to which the 
        procurement processes of the Department of Defense 
        allow for the determination of the country of origin of 
        the end items and components;
            (2) Descriptions of the vulnerabilities in the 
        supply chains for end items and components and the 
        countries from which such end items and components are 
        procured; and
            (3) Recommendations for legislative or 
        administrative action to address any identified supply 
        chain, including plans for alternative supply chains or 
        alternative countries from which to procure end items 
        and components.
Modifications to rights in technical data
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 868) 
that would modify rights in technical data.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note intellectual property (IP), including 
technical data rights and rights to computer software, is 
critically important to the Department of Defense's ability to 
modernize capabilities and maintain technological superiority. 
As weapons systems are increasingly reliant on rapidly evolving 
technologies, commercial components, and software content, 
acquiring and licensing the appropriate IP is vital to ensuring 
that weapons systems and equipment remain functional, 
sustainable, and affordable over the system's lifecycle. IP and 
technical data rights are also important to industry to protect 
companies' corporate assets from disclosure or misuse.
      However, the Department of Defense has unique IP needs 
due to combat logistics that includes battle damage repair and 
point of use manufacturing. The conferees note the importance 
of the Comptroller General study on requirements for data 
rights required by the Senate report accompanying S. 2226 (S. 
Rept. 118-58) to help clarifying these concerns. In addition to 
the elements specified in that report, the conferees direct the 
Comptroller General to also assess: (1) How the Department of 
Defense determines what are considered ``core'' logistics 
capabilities under section 2464 of Title 10, United States 
Code; (2) Depot source of repair activations and whether data 
rights requirements or data ordering contributed to significant 
challenges; and (3) The level of variation found in contracts 
for the same or similar mission systems or subsystems fielded 
on separate weapon platforms, including requirements 
approaches, data ordering, and validation of data delivery.
      Furthermore, the conferees direct that this mandated 
review in the Senate report shall also be addressed to the 
House Armed Services Committee and include the additional 
elements specified above.
Report on competition and equipment repair
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 870) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report on a 
plan for avoiding contract terms in procurement agreements that 
make it challenging for the Department of Defense to repair 
equipment.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Report on the United States defense and technological industrial base
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to report on the ability 
of the defense and technological industrial base to meet the 
requirements for air and missile defense within the area of 
responsibility of the U.S. Central Command.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the importance of air and missile 
defense capabilities as highlighted in both Ukraine and Israel. 
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than March 
1, 2024, on the ability of the industrial base to meet the 
growing demand for air and missile defense systems. The 
briefing shall include:
            (1) An assessment of the extent to which the 
        inefficiencies and inadequacies of the defense and 
        technological industrial base impede the timely 
        production and delivery of air and missile defense 
        components to the allies and partners of the United 
        States;
            (2) An assessment of the ongoing efforts of the 
        Department of Defense to remedy inefficiencies and 
        inadequacies described in paragraph (1); and
            (3) A strategy for addressing the inefficiencies or 
        inadequacies described in paragraph (1), including an 
        evaluation of the benefits of procuring the components 
        from, and industrial cooperation with, allies and 
        partners of the United States.
      The briefing shall be in an unclassified form but may 
contain a classified annex.
Report on defense industrial base competition
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 873) that 
would require the Government Accountability Office to report on 
consolidation and competition within the defense industrial 
base.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees are aware that consolidation within the 
defense industrial base is causing significant impacts on 
competition and the ability of the Department of Defense to 
monitor and oversee the dynamics within the industrial base. A 
report from the Government Accountability Office titled 
``Defense Industrial Base: DOD Needs Better Insight into Risks 
from Mergers and Acquisitions (GAO-24-106129, dated October 17, 
2023) highlighted many of the problems. In particular, this 
report pointed out, ``Most DOD assessments are initiated in 
response to antitrust reviews of large M&A [mergers and 
acquisitions] valued over a certain dollar threshold, currently 
$111.4 million. Therefore, Industrial Base Policy's M&A office 
and DOD stakeholders focus on evaluating competition risks in 
their M&A assessments. While DOD policy directs Industrial Base 
Policy and DOD stakeholders to assess other types of risks, 
such as national security and innovation risks, they have not 
routinely done so. Moreover, DOD policy does not provide clear 
direction about which M&A DOD should prioritize for assessment, 
beyond those conducted in response to antitrust reviews. DOD 
officials noted that the M&A office--which is comprised of two 
to three staff--does not have the staff resources to initiate 
more assessments of smaller M&A that may also present risks . . 
. GAO found that DOD policy does not require Industrial Base 
Policy and DOD stakeholders to conduct monitoring. As a result, 
they cannot determine if risks occurred and whether further 
action is needed to mitigate them.''
      As a result, in the Senate report accompanying S. 2226 
(S. Rept. 118-58), the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) 
directed the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base 
Policy to develop a M&A impact model to provide an analytical 
framework for comprehensively assessing the defense M&A 
environment. In developing this M&A impact model, the SASC also 
directed the Department to include the following 
considerations:
            (1) The competition goals the Department should 
        pursue, linked to the tools the Department currently 
        has to enhance competition, and what elements of M&A 
        decision making would be most beneficial to link goals 
        to those elements;
            (2) The levers the Department has to achieve its 
        strategic objectives, including an assessment of the 
        resources needed for the workforce to meet those 
        objectives;
            (3) The data sources, internal to the DOD and 
        available commercially, academically or publicly, that 
        should be leveraged for decision making; and
            (4) Recommendations for how the Department should 
        assess the impacts of consolidation below the statutory 
        thresholds to better understand the long-term effect on 
        innovation and the supply base.
      The conferees direct that such briefing in response to 
this requirement should also be provided to the House Armed 
Services Committee.
      Furthermore, the conferees direct the Comptroller General 
of the United States to assess the framework being developed by 
the Department and provide a briefing on the results of that 
assessment to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives not later than 1 year after 
the enactment of this Act.
Entrepreneurial Innovation Project designations
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 881) that 
would require the Secretary of each military department to 
identify promising research programs of the Small Business 
Innovation Research Program or Small Business Technology 
Transfer Program for inclusion in the future budgets and plans 
of the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that a similar pilot program as 
proposed in section 881 was established for the intelligence 
community in section 6716 of the James M. Inhofe National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-
263). The conferees believe that before expanding that program 
to other agencies, it is important to understand the results 
and potential effectiveness of the current pilot program.
Extension and modification of domestic investment pilot program
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 882) that 
would extend the domestic investment pilot program under the 
Small Business Innovation Research program until September 30,

provide a report on the feasibility of establishing a program 
similar to the Air Force's Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) 
program.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the success of Air Force Venture's 
STRATFI program in maturing technologies from the Small 
Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business 
Technology Transfer (STTR) programs and believe there could be 
value in scaling this type of program across the services. The 
conferees are concerned, however, that the SBIR/STTR programs 
of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps might not have the capital 
needed to successfully execute and sustain such a program. 
Therefore, the conferees direct the Service Acquisition 
Executives to individually provide a briefing to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than June 1, 2024, outlining the 
impact that establishing a program like the Air Force STRATFI 
program would have on each respective service's SBIR/STTR 
program. The briefing should include, but not be limited to: 
(1) The level of funding required to successfully execute and 
sustain such a program, (2) Any impact that such a program 
would have on the number of SBIR/STTR awards that could be made 
by the services, (3) Any analogous programs that currently 
exist within the services, and (4) Any positive or negative 
impacts such a program would have on the functioning of the 
services' SBIR/STTR program, including impact on timelines to 
make awards.
Report on the Air Force First Look Program and the Army First Stop 
        Program
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 885) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
analyzing the initiatives of the Air Force First Look Program 
and the Army First Stop Program.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2024, 
on the Air Force First Look Program and the Army First Stop 
Program. Such a briefing shall include: (1) An analysis of the 
objectives of and results achieved by the Air Force First Look 
Program and the Army First Stop Program; (2) A description of 
criteria for participation in such programs, including a 
description of contracts or other agreements relating to such 
participation; and (3) An analysis of the costs and benefits of 
participation in such programs for all relevant parties.
Modification to pilot program to accelerate Department of Defense SBIR 
        and STTR awards
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 886) that 
would require each Secretary of a military department to 
establish a pilot program to reduce the time for awards under 
the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business 
Technology Transfer programs.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Briefing on the implementation of category management memorandum
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 887) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
and Sustainment and the Director of the Office of Small 
Business Programs of the Department of Defense to provide a 
briefing on the implementation of the memorandum entitled 
``Achieving Small Business Goals through Category Management 
Practices.''
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment and the Director of the Office of 
Small Business Programs of the Department of Defense to provide 
a briefing, not later than June 1, 2024, to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
on the implementation of the memorandum by the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment entitled Achieving 
Small Business Goals through Category Management Practices'' 
and dated January 27, 2023. The briefing shall include the 
following:
            (1) The effects of the implementation of the 
        memorandum on contracting opportunities for small 
        businesses;
            (2) The tools and data analysis that are being used 
        to support small business concerns in procurement 
        decisions to increase small business opportunities;
            (3) The strategic efforts that have been taken to 
        achieve the small business participation goals of the 
        Department of Defense through the use of existing and 
        open market contracts to reach a mix of new entrants, 
        seasoned 8(a) companies, and other small disadvantaged 
        businesses;
            (4) The opportunities that have been identified to

            (5) The metrics the Department of Defense has 
        established to measure the effects of the 
        implementation of the category management memorandum on 
        opportunities for small businesses to contract with the 
        Department;
            (6) The success stories of small business

      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Sec. 1013--Disruption of fentanyl trafficking
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1009) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and submit a 
strategy to use existing authorities to target, disrupt, or 
degrade threats to the national security of the United States 
caused or exacerbated by fentanyl trafficking.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1011).
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
various technical changes to the House provision.
      The conferees note that fentanyl trafficking across the 
borders of the United States, and the consequences of that 
trafficking, constitute a nontraditional and long-term threat 
to the national security of the United States; that 
transnational criminal organizations have developed significant 
fentanyl production and trafficking infrastructure; and that 
combating fentanyl trafficking demands improved interagency 
command, control, communications, and intelligence sharing to 
enhance the effectiveness of the interdiction of fentanyl at 
the borders of the United States.
      Further, the conferees note that it is in the national 
security interest of the United States for Federal, State, and 
local law enforcement agencies, the Department of Defense, the 
Department of State, the Department of Justice, other counter-
drug agencies, and stakeholders to develop whole-of-government 
solutions to disrupt the fentanyl production, transshipment, 
and illicit importation process.
      Finally, the conferees note that the United States must 
partner with Mexico and Canada to combat fentanyl trafficking 
through institution building, the dismantling of cartels, and 
interdiction of illicit drug flows.
      Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report, not later than May 1, 2024, to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on cooperative efforts with the Government of 
Mexico that includes:
            (1) An assessment of the impact of efforts to 
        enhance cooperation on targeting, disrupting, and 
        degrading fentanyl trafficking;
            (2) A description of limitations on such efforts, 
        including limitations imposed by the Government of 
        Mexico;
            (3) Recommendations by the Secretary on actions to 
        further improve cooperation with the Government of 
        Mexico;
            (4) Recommendations by the Secretary, in 
        consultation with other relevant Federal Departments 
        and Agencies, on actions of the Department of Defense 
        that could further improve the capabilities of the 
        Government of Mexico to target, disrupt, and degrade 
        fentanyl trafficking; and
            (5) Any other matter the Secretary considers 
        relevant.

                Subtitle C--Naval Vessels and Shipyards

Sec. 1015--Modifications to annual naval vessel construction plan
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that 
would provide for greater transparency and representation by 
the military services with regard to their views on the annual 
naval vessel construction plan. The provision would require, 
among other things, that the Secretary of the Navy ensure 
consistency among plans in the first 10 years if more than one 
shipbuilding plan is submitted.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove 
the requirement about consistency in the first 10 years of 
multiple shipbuilding plans
Sec. 1016--Critical components of national sea-based deterrence vessels
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that 
would modify the National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund to allow 
for continuous production of additional critical components.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Sec. 1017--Grants for improvement of Navy ship repair or alterations 
        capability
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1013) that 
would authorize a grant program for the Navy for non-nuclear 
shipyards.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Sec. 1018--Repeal of obsolete provision of law regarding vessel 
        nomenclature
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1014) that 
would repeal an obsolete subsection of United States Code 
relating to the naming of battleships.

      The Senate recedes.
Sec. 1019--Responsibility of Commandant of the Marine Corps with 
        respect to naval battle force ship assessment and requirement 
        reporting
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1015) that 
would provide the Commandant of the Marine Corps the 
responsibility for developing requirements related to all naval 
vessels with the primary mission of transporting Marines within 
the Naval Battle Force Ship Requirements and Assessment.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment to the 
provision's title.
      The conferees agree that the Commandant of the Marine 
Corps has not been provided an adequate voice in the generation 
of requirements for naval vessels that support Marine Corps 
missions. Section 1025 of the James M. Inhofe National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-263) 
provided that the Commandant of the Marine Corps would have 
responsibility for preparation of amphibious warfare ship 
requirements. The section did not deal with requirements for 
smaller vessels, such as the Landing Ship Medium (LSM). 
However, the Commandant called for a program of 35 LSMs to 
support operations of three Marine Littoral Regiments, with 
affordability and speed to delivery as key considerations. 
However, the Navy's program only includes 18 LSMs, a number 
insufficient to provide continuous support for two Marine 
Littoral Regiments.
Sec. 1020--Policy of the United States on shipbuilding defense 
        industrial base
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1016) that 
would amend the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to state that it is the policy of 
the United States that the shipbuilding defense industrial base 
is fundamental for achieving the Navy's shipbuilding 
requirements and constitutes a unique national security 
imperative that requires sustainment and support by the Navy 
and Congress.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Sec. 1021--Prohibition on retirement of certain naval vessels
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1017) that 
would prohibit retirement or inactivation of the USS Germantown 
(LSD-42), USS Gunston Hall (LSD-44), and USS Tortuga (LSD-46), 
as well as the USS Shiloh (CG-67) and USS Cowpens (CG-63).
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1023) that would prohibit retirement or inactivation of the 
same amphibious ships and USS Shiloh, but would allow the 
retirement of the USS Cowpens.
      The House recedes.
Sec. 1022--Authority to use incremental funding to enter into a 
        contract for the advance procurement and construction of a San 
        Antonio-class amphibious ship
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1020) that 
would grant authority to use incremental funding to enter into 
a contract for the advance procurement and construction of a 
San Antonio-class amphibious ship.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Sec. 1023--Authority to use incremental funding to enter into a 
        contract for the advance procurement and construction of a 
        submarine tender

would provide incremental funding authority for the Navy to 
enter into a contract for acquisition and construction of a 
submarine tender.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Sec. 1024--Biannual briefings on submarine readiness
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1024) that 
would require the Secretary of the Navy to provide quarterly 
briefings on submarine readiness.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

                      Subtitle D--Counterterrorism

Sec. 1031--Extension of prohibition on use of funds for transfer or 
        release of individuals detained at United States Naval Station, 
        Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1031) that 
would prohibit the use of any amounts authorized to be

transfer or release detainees at U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo 
Bay, Cuba, to or within the United States, its territories, or 
possessions.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1032).
      The House recedes.
Sec. 1032--Extension of prohibition on use of funds to construct or 
        modify facilities in the United States to house detainees 
        transferred from United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 
        Cuba
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1032) that 
would prohibit the use of any amounts authorized to be 
appropriated or otherwise made available for the Department of 
Defense to be used during the period beginning on the date of 
the enactment of this Act and ending on December 31, 2024, to 
construct or modify any facility in the United States, its 
territories, or possessions to house any detainee transferred 
from U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for the purposes 
of detention or imprisonment in the custody or under the 
effective control of the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1033).
      The House recedes.
Sec. 1033--Extension of prohibition on use of funds for transfer or 
        release of individuals detained at United States Naval Station, 
        Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to certain countries
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1033) that 
would prohibit the use of funding authorized to be appropriated 
or otherwise made available for the Department of Defense 
during the period beginning on the date of the enactment of 
this act and ending on December 31, 2024, to transfer, release, 
or assist in the transfer or release of any individual detained 
at U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Libya, Somalia, 
Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1034).
      The House recedes.
Sec. 1034--Extension of prohibition on use of funds to close or 
        relinquish control of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo 
        Bay, Cuba
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1034) that 
would prohibit the use of any amounts authorized to be 
appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of 
Defense for fiscal year 2024 for the closure or abandonment of 
United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the 
relinquishment of control of Guantanamo Bay to the Republic of 
Cuba, or the implementation of a material modification to the 
Treaty Between the United States of America and Cuba signed in 
the District of Columbia on May 29, 1934, that constructively 
closes United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1031).
      The House recedes.

         Subtitle E--Miscellaneous Authorities and Limitations

Sec. 1041--Limitation on availability of certain funds until submission 
        of Chairman's Risk Assessment; briefing requirement
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1073) 
that would limit certain funds from obligation or expenditure 
until the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the 
Secretary of Defense submit to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives outstanding risk 
assessments. The provision would also amend section 153 of 
title 10, United States Code, to require an annual briefing on 
the assessments developed by the Joint Staff.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
obligation and expenditure of not more than 80 percent of the 
funds authorized for travel for the Office of the Chairman of 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense until the 2024 Chairman's Risk Assessment (CRA), and, 
if applicable, the associated Risk Mitigation Plax (RMP) is 
delivered to Congress.
      The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is required to 
deliver the CRA annually to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than 
February 15. A critical component of the risk assessment is to 
identify and assess force capabilities, as well as 
characterizing how risk varies over time due to budget 
priorities, tradeoffs, and fiscal constraints. Receiving the 
CRA in a timely manner is instrumental in the decision making 
processes of the congressional committees of jurisdiction as 
they evaluate the authorities and resources that may be 
necessary to implement the National Defense Strategy at various 
levels of risk. In fact, the CRA has not been submitted on time 
for the past several years.
      The 2024 CRA will be the first assessment produced by the 
current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The conferees 
note that the repeated delays in delivering previous CRAs 
predate the tenure of the current Chairman, and that he has 
acknowledged the importance of delivering the annual CRA in 
accordance with the statutory deadline. While the conferees are 
encouraged by the Chairman's assurances and commend him for 
making this issue a priority, the conferees believe that it is 
appropriate, and necessary, to limit certain funding to ensure 
the upcoming CRA is delivered on time as required by law.
Sec. 1042--Assistance in support of Department of Defense accounting 
        for missing United States Government personnel
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1044) 
that would amend section 408 of title 10, United States Code, 
to authorize the provision of funds by the Department of 
Defense to foreign nations to assist in accounting for missing 
United States Government personnel. The provision would also 
modify the congressional reporting requirement in section 408 
of title 10, United States Code, to require an annual report on 
the Department's use of the authorities provided by that 
section.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
annual aggregate dollar limitation in section 408 from $1 
million to $5 million, and which would authorize the Secretary 
of Defense to waive such limitation upon proper notice and 
explanation to the congressional defense committees.
Sec. 1043--Implementation of arrangements to build transparency, 
        confidence, and security
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1045)

      The House recedes.

would discontinue the Secretary of Defense's waiver authority 
under section 1062(b) of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public 
Law 116-283).
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1079).
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend 
the authority to provide a waiver until October 1, 2026.
Sec. 1046--Vetting procedures and monitoring requirements for allies 
        and partners participating in education or training activities 
        in the United States

283) for international military students from North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization countries.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide 
the Secretary of Defense the authority to waive the vetting 
requirements of section 1090 of Public Law 116-283 for

        of Defense determines that the waiver is in the 
        national security interests of the United States; or
            (2) On a country-by-country basis, with respect to 
        foreign nationals or other appropriate persons who hold 
        a security clearance issued by that country, if the 
        Secretary of Defense determines that the vetting 
        procedures of the country are functionally equivalent 
        to the vetting procedures of the United States for 
        United States military personnel.
Sec. 1047--Authority to include funding requests for the chemical and 
        biological defense program in budget accounts of military 
        departments
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1098) that 
would amend section 1701(d)(2) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160) by 
changing the budget authority from prohibitive to permissive.
      The Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 1042).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

tactical communications (STC) equipment until a report is

        landmines
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1082) 
that would limit funding for the destruction of anti-personnel 
landmine munitions until the Secretary of Defense provides a 
report that describes current policy, projected inventories and 
associated costs, and a military assessment of inventory 
projections.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the

exceed supply and reductions to SOF, including critical 
enablers, would dramatically and negatively impact their 
available options for carrying out assigned missions in support 
of the 2022 National Defense Strategy. Lastly, the conferees 
believe the Secretary of Defense should not consider any 
reductions to SOF force structure until after the completion of

determination that any planned changes would not have a 
negative impact on the ability of geographic combatant 
commanders to support strategic competition, counterterrorism,

title III of the Defense Production Act as one way to 
accomplish this goal in collaboration with our closest allies. 
The committee notes the unique contributions that Australia and 
the United Kingdom continue to make to U.S. national security 
and defense, including but not limited to cutting edge defense 
systems, dual-use technologies, and providing a secure pathway 
to acquiring critical and rare earth minerals. The trilateral 
security partnership among Australia, the United Kingdom, and 
the United States, commonly known as the AUKUS partnership, is 
only the latest example of the deep ties between the three 
nations.
      The conferees note that the reporting and certification 
requirements of this provision should not be used to inhibit 
the timely use of the authority in relation to Australia and 
the United Kingdom. The committee recognizes the AUKUS 
partnership as a critical step in joint capability development 
and interoperability and this provision complements related 
efforts to operationalize this agreement and help ensure the 
timely availability of essential resources to support the 
defense of the United States and its close partners.

        systems for certain congressional staff for oversight purposes

      The House recedes.
       The conferees note the robust statutory annual and

note the ongoing efforts of the Department of Defense to 
address shortfalls identified in recent reports by the 
Government Accountability Office (GAO), including the March 
2023 report titled ``DOD Needs to Improve System Oversight'' 
(GAO-23-104539) and the May 2023 report titled ``Additional 
Actions Needed to Achieve a Clean Audit Opinion on DOD's 
Financial Statements'' (GAO-23-105784), and believe that such 
efforts are integral to retaining public trust during a lengthy 
and complicated process. The conferees appreciate the 
substantive, open, and frank engagement that has historically 
characterized the Department's audit-related reporting, 
including engagement above and beyond the statutory 
requirements, and emphasize the importance of sustaining this 
engagement into the future in order to maintain confidence and 
transparency regarding the Department's progress towards 
achievement of an unmodified audit opinion. Such clarity is 
particularly important given the large number of dependencies, 
in particular with regard to enterprise business systems 
modernization, information technology modernization, 
remediation of past records retention shortcomings, and related 
areas.
       The conferees note that other matters related to the 
annual financial statements audit are contained elsewhere in

      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees recognize the importance of the Secretary 
of Defense's role in combating the illicit fentanyl drug trade. 
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary, not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to submit 
a report that includes: (1) An analysis of the illicit fentanyl 
drug trade, new or emerging techniques or technologies that are 
likely to affect the evolution of the illicit fentanyl drug 
trade, and the adequacy of existing authorities that are likely

the Southern border of the United States; (2) Any actions the 
Department of Defense has taken in response to such analysis; 
and (3) Any other matters the Secretary determines appropriate.

would require a report on the role of the Department of Defense 
in supporting a national emergency declaration combating the 
fentanyl crisis.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees recognize the importance of Executive Order 
14059, entitled ``Imposing Sanctions on Foreign Persons 
Involved in the Global Illicit Drug Trade,'' the declaration of 
a national emergency by the President to address the unusual 
and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
policy, and economy of the United States posed by international 
drug trafficking, and note that it is an appropriate whole-of-
Government response to the problems posed by drug trafficking 
and, in particular, fentanyl; that the counternarcotics 
activities of the Department of Defense encompass unique 
capabilities that are critical for the efforts of the United 
States Government to combat the trafficking of illegal drugs, 
including fentanyl; and that the Department of Defense support 
for drug interdiction capacity and capability should be 
leveraged by Federal, State, local, and tribal law enforcement 
agencies, as appropriate and as permitted by law, to gain 
intelligence and lessons learned, and to enhance collaboration 
and effectiveness.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary, not later 
than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees that 
includes: (1) A description of Department of Defense activities 
in support of efforts to deal with the national emergency

Building the capacity of armed forces of Mexico to counter the threat 
        posed by transnational criminal organizations
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1014) 
that would establish a pilot program for assessing the 
feasibility and advisability of building the capacity of the 
armed forces of Mexico in the United States on goals, jointly 
agreed to by the Governments of the United States and Mexico, 
to counter the threat posed by transnational criminal 
organizations.
      The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that Mexican transnational criminal 
organizations represent a serious threat to the national 
security of the United States. The conferees understand that 
human trafficking operations by transnational criminal 
organizations present a serious human rights crisis in Central 
America and along our southern border. The conferees note with 
concern that over 70,000 Americans died from synthetic opioid 
overdoes in 2021 and that the rate of overdoses from illegal 
drugs trafficked into the United States by transnational 
criminal organizations continues to rise. The conferees believe 
that countering Mexican transnational criminal organizations is 
a national security priority, and that improving security 
cooperation with the Government of Mexico to address the 
illicit trafficking of synthetic opioids is an important aspect 
of any strategy to counter transnational criminal 
organizations.

        operations of Unites States Indo-Pacific Command; and
            (2) Provide a report to the congressional defense 
        committees describing this strategy and concept of 
        operations.
      The conferees expect the CNO to complete the development 
of a strategy and concept of operations not later than 180 days 
after enactment of this Act, and to provide the report to the 
congressional defense committees within 30 days thereafter.

with how the Department of the Navy interacts with States and 
territories on transferring vessels that may be viable for 
artificial reefing. Therefore, the conferees direct the

determinations as is currently enjoyed by contractor personnel. 
The conferees direct the Department to provide quarterly 
briefings beginning March 2024 through March 2025 to the

       The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to make 
every reasonable effort to improve outreach to inform departing

availability of credentialing opportunities related to cyber 
security, including improving the searchability functions of 
online resources for career training related to cybersecurity, 
as well as ensuring that Skillbridge includes a notice for all 
military members interested in cybersecurity job opportunities.
      The conferees note that section 1045 of the James M. 
Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 
(Public Law 117-263) required the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Director of National Intelligence when 
acting as the Security Executive Agent (SecEA), to establish a 
process to ensure that eligible former members of the Armed 
Forces or former civilian employees of the Department of

to address this issue, which was delivered earlier this year. 
This document comprehensively addresses military as well as 
civilian workforces, and across the four human capital pillars

individual, and retention. That plan has identified 38 
initiatives the Department is pursuing, and based on 
anticipated timelines, action plans are just now being 
delivered to the Department of Defense Chief Information 
Officer (DOD CIO) for decision.

enhancing the military and civilian workforce in this space, 
including those in the computer programming and software 
fields, but is concerned that there may not be sufficient 
manpower within the DOD CIO office executing this work 
commensurate to the task. The conferees believe the Department 
should make sufficient resources available for this work, and 
also keep the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives regularly updated on progress with 
this effort.

Strategy to delay, disrupt, and degrade Rosatom's proliferation 
        activities and other revenue streams
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a strategy to 
combat Russia's aid to the People's Republic of China's (PRC) 
nuclear weapons program.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note:
      (1) Russia's state-owned nuclear energy corporation, 
Rosatom, is providing the PRC highly enriched uranium for 
Chinese Communist Party fast-breeder reactors;
      (2) The Department of Defense's 2022 Report to Congress 
on the Military and Security Developments Involving the 
People's Republic of China noted that increased weapons-grade 
plutonium production is key to the PRC's nuclear program, 
stating: ``The PRC is also supporting this expansion by 
increasing its capacity to produce and separate plutonium by 
constructing fast breeder reactors and reprocessing 
facilities.'' The report also cites the CFR-600 reactors and 
notes that each reactor will be capable of producing ``enough 
plutonium for dozens of nuclear warheads annually.'' This 
buildup puts the PRC in violation of Article VI of the Treaty 
on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, requiring states 
to make good-faith efforts to cease an arms race and to engage 
in good-faith arms control negotiations;
      (3) There are also credible reports that ``Russia's state 
nuclear power conglomerate has been working to supply the 
Russian arms industry with components, technology and raw 
materials for missile(s).'' Specifically, a letter from a 
Rosatom department chief, dated October 2022, shows Rosatom 
offering to provide goods to Russian military units and to 
Russian weapons manufacturers that are under sanctions;
      (4) The United States Government has taken steps against 
Rosatom, such as sanctioning three Rosatom subsidiaries on 
February 24, 2023, and speaking out publicly against Rosatom's 
behavior; and
      (5) Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, Dr. 
John F. Plumb, testified before the House Armed Services 
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces on March 8, 2023, that ``It's 
very troubling to see Russia and China cooperating on this . . 
. They may have talking points around it, but there's no 
getting around the fact that breeder reactors are plutonium, 
and plutonium is for weapons. So, I think the [Defense] 
Department is concerned. And of course, it matches our concerns 
about China's increased expansion of its nuclear forces as well 
because you need more plutonium for more weapons.''
       Therefore, the conferees direct that the Secretary of 
Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the 
Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of Energy, with 
the assistance of the Director of National Intelligence, shall 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees, no later 
than March 31, 2024, a report for a strategy to delay, disrupt, 
and degrade Rosatom's and other Russian state-owned entities' 
proliferation activities and other revenue streams that 
directly fund Russia's military forces.
       Further, the term ``appropriate congressional 
committees'' means: (1) the Committee on Armed Services, the

Baltic Security Initiative
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that 
would express the sense of Congress regarding the Baltic States 
and require a report setting forth a strategy of the Department 
of Defense to deepen security cooperation with the Baltic 
States.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1337).
       The conference agreement does not include either 
provision.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, to provide the 
congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
of the House of Representatives, with a report, not later than 
June 1, 2024, on the progress made in the implementation of the 
multi-year strategy and spending plan set forth in the June 
2021 report of the Department of Defense entitled ``Report on 
the Baltic Security Initiative'' submitted pursuant to the 
Explanatory Statement for the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year 2021. The report shall 
include the following:
      (1) An identification of any significant change to the 
goals, objectives, and milestones identified in the June 2021 
report, in light of the radically changed security environment 
in the Baltic region after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine 
by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, and with 
consideration to enhancing the deterrence and defense posture 
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the Baltic region, 
including through the implementation of the regional defense 
plans of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization;
      (2) An update on the Department of Defense funding 
allocated for such strategy and spending plan for fiscal years 
2022 and 2023 and projected funding requirements for fiscal 
years 2024, 2025, and 2026 for each goal identified in such 
report;
      (3) An update on the host country funding allocated and 
planned for each such goal;
      (4) An assessment of the progress made in the 
implementation of the recommendations set forth in the fiscal 
year 2020 Baltic Defense Assessment, and reaffirmed in the June 
2021 report, that each Baltic country should--
      (a) increase its defense budget;
      (b) focus on and budget for sustainment of capabilities 
in defense planning; and
      (c) consider combined units for expensive capabilities 
such as air defense, rocket artillery, and engineer assets.
      (5) A description of any other steps taken to deepen 
Department of Defense security cooperation with the Baltic 
countries in order to--
      (a) achieve United States national security strategy 
objectives;
      (b) enhance regional planning and cooperation among the 
Baltic countries, particularly with respect to long-term 
regional capability projects; and
      (c) enhance the Baltic countries' defenses and 
resiliency.
Sense of Congress on defense by NATO member states
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1235) that 
would express the sense of Congress on defense by North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1338).
       The conference agreement does not include these 
provisions. The conferees affirm that the success of NATO is 
critical to advancing United States national security 
objectives in Europe, the Indo-Pacific region, and around the 
world. NATO remains the strongest and most successful military 
alliance in the world, founded on a commitment by its members 
to uphold the principles of democracy, individual liberty, and 
the rule of law, and the United States is steadfast in its 
ironclad commitment to NATO as the foundation of transatlantic 
security and to upholding its obligations under the North 
Atlantic Treaty, including Article 5.
       The conferees note that the unprovoked and illegal 
invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation has upended 
security in Europe and requires the full attention of the 
transatlantic alliance. Welcoming Finland as the 31st member of 
the NATO has made the alliance stronger and the conferees urge 
the remaining NATO member countries to swiftly ratify the 
accession protocols of Sweden so as to bolster the collective 
security of the alliance by increasing the security and 
stability of the Baltic Sea region and Northern Europe.
       The conferees note the NATO Strategic Concept, agreed to 
at the Madrid Summit in 2022, outlined the focus of the 
alliance for the upcoming decade. Allies took further important 
steps at the 2023 Vilnius Summit by agreeing to a set of 
regional defense plans with assigned forces, capabilities, and 
high levels of readiness. Allies should continue to support 
these efforts, as well as making efforts to address the 
challenges posed by the coercive policies of the People's 
Republic of China that undermine the interests, security, and 
shared values of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
Alliance.
       The conferees commend the affirmation at the Vilnius 
Summit that defense spending of ``at least 2 percent of Gross 
Domestic Product (GDP)'' be seen as a minimum investment to 
continue to ensure military readiness across the alliance. The 
conferees urge NATO member countries that have not yet met the 
2 percent defense spending pledge to endeavor to meet the 
timeline as expeditiously as possible, and to continue to 
allocate at least 20 percent of their defense budgets on major 
equipment, including research and development.
       The conferees further affirm that United States and NATO 
allies and partners should continue efforts to deliver needed 
assistance to Ukraine as Ukraine fights against the illegal and 
unjust war of the Russian Federation. U.S. investments under 
the European Deterrence Initiative remain critically important 
and have demonstrated their strategic value during the current 
Russian Federation-created war against Ukraine.
       The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to 
pursue efforts consistent with the comprehensive, multilateral 
Baltic Defense Assessment. The Department should continue to 
prioritize robust support to the Baltic countries to accomplish 
United States strategic objectives, including security 
cooperation often referred to as the Baltic Security Initiative 
pursuant to sections 332 and 333 of title 10, United States 
Code.
      The conferees further note the updated U.S.-Greece Mutual 
Defense Cooperation Agreement signed last year is a reflection 
of our nations' shared commitment to peace and security and 
U.S. basing in the Hellenic Republic enables strategic access 
to exercise and operate in the region.
Report on the security relationship between the United States and the 
        Hellenic Republic
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1236) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
State to submit a report on the security relationship between 
the United States and the Hellenic Republic.

      The House recedes.
Determination of location for McCain Irregular Warfare Center
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1244) that

criteria.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Designation of priority theaters of operation and combatant commands; 
        priority for sales of defense articles and services
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1245) that 
would require that the Secretary of Defense designate theaters 
of operation and combatant commands that are to be considered 
priority combatant commands for each fiscal year. This 
provision would also require the President and the Secretary of 
State to give priority to sales to countries located in 
theaters of operation and under the responsibility of combatant 
commands identified in such designation.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes. The conferees direct that the 
Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State provide a briefing, 
not later March 1, 2024, on the feasibility and advisability of 
prioritizing Foreign Military Sales under existing law and 
regulation and the mechanisms that could be used to effect such 
prioritization, including deferral of U.S. production.

foreign military sales program or any other authority available 
to the United States from accessing sensitive information about 
the technical capabilities and limitations of the technology.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

briefing on threats to global security posed by the nuclear 
weapon capability of Iran and progress made by Iran in 
enriching uranium at levels proximate to or exceeding weapons 
grade.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to 
provide the congressional defense committees a briefing 
describing threats to global security posed by the nuclear 
weapon capability of Iran, progress made by Iran in enriching 
uranium at levels proximate to or exceeding weapons grade, and 
recommendations for actions the United States may take to

Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic in the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Sense of the Senate regarding the arming of Ukraine
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1340) 
that would express the sense of the Senate that Ukraine would 
derive military benefit from the provision of munitions such as 
the dual-purpose improved conventional munition (DPICM). The 
provision would also express the sense of the Senate that the 
Department of Defense, in close coordination with the State 
Department, should assess the feasibility and advisability of 
providing such munitions.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the United States began providing 
DPICM to Ukraine in the 42nd Presidential Drawdown Authority 
package of security assistance announced on July 7, 2023. The 
conferees also note that Ukraine committed to measures to 
minimize the risks associated with employment of DPICM.
Extension and modification of certain temporary authorizations
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1347) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan 
for enhancing U.S. security cooperation with Japan and add the 
Government of Taiwan to the temporary authorization established 
in section 1244 of the James M. Inhofe National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-263).
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that this matter is addressed 
elsewhere in this Act.

responsibilities in support of the National Strategy for the 
Arctic Region which includes: (1) An identification of the

the National Strategy for the Arctic Region, including the 
implementation plan for each applicable military department and

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1398) 
that would modify the Arctic Security Initiative.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees recognize the growing strategic importance 
of the Arctic in light of increased activity and investment in 
the region, including the increasing Russian and Chinese

capabilities. Therefore the conferees direct that the Secretary 
of State, in coordination with Director of National 
Intelligence and with such other heads of the elements of the 
intelligence community as the Director considers appropriate, 
conduct an assessment to evaluate the top five technologies 
that originate in the United States and are not currently 
subject to export controls as prioritized by the Director of 
National Intelligence, in order to identify and assess the risk 
from those specified technologies that could be or are being

         Title XIII--Other Matters Relating to Foreign Nations

        Subtitle A--Matters Relating to the Indo-Pacific Region

Sec. 1301--Sense of Congress on defense alliances and partnerships in 
        the Indo-Pacific region
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1303) that 
would express the sense of Congress on South Korea.

Sec. 1302--Extension of Pacific Deterrence Initiative and report, 
        briefings, and plan under the Initiative

and the independent assessment of the Commander of United 
States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM).
      The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1302) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
agreement with a federally funded research and development 
center, or another appropriate independent entity, to conduct 
an assessment of Department of Defense activities carried out 
pursuant to PDI.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1344) that would extend PDI and the independent assessment of 
the Commander of USINDOPACOM.
      The agreement includes a provision that would extend PDI 
through fiscal year 2024 and extend the independent assessment 
of the Commander of USINDOPACOM through fiscal year 2026.
      The conferees strongly support PDI as means to prioritize 
Department of Defense efforts in support of enhancing U.S. 
deterrence and defense posture, reassuring allies and partners, 
and increasing readiness and capability in the Indo-Pacific 
region, primarily west of the International Date Line. The 
budgetary display below captures investments included in this 
Act that support the objectives of the PDI.
      Additionally, the conferees direct the Comptroller 
General of the United States to conduct a review of PDI. At a 
minimum, the review shall include:

        process for building its budget request for PDI, 
        including how the Department:
                    (a) defines PDI categories;
                    (b) evaluates PDI requests by the military 
                services to determine whether requested funding 
                is or is not included as part of the PDI budget 
                request;
            (2) An identification of any differences between 
        Department of Defense budgeting process, execution, and 
        oversight of PDI and the European Deterrence 
        Initiative;
            (3) Recommendations, if any, for improvements to 
        the Department's budgeting process, execution, and 
        oversight of PDI; and
            (4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Comptroller General.
                    The conferees further direct the 
                Comptroller General to provide a briefing to 
                the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
                and the House of Representatives on the results 
                of the review, not later than September 1, 
                2024, and issue a report to the Committees on 
                Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
                Representatives to follow at a time agreed to 
                at the time of the briefing.

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1521) that 
would provide the legal authority for the military services to 
accept voluntary and uncompensated services from civilian 
cybersecurity experts to train servicemembers on technical 
matters. It would solidify the legal basis for the United 
States Marine Corps Cyber Auxiliary program, as well as enable 
the other military services to establish their own Cyber 
Auxiliary programs. This section builds on committee report 
language titled ``Cyber Auxiliary Utilization,'' which 
accompanied the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-263).
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1216) that would require the Secretary of Army to carry out a 
pilot project to establish a Civilian Cybersecurity Reserve. 
This Reserve would enable the Army to provide manpower to

would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 
containing the results of an assessment of the implementation 
by the Department of Defense of innovative data analysis and 
information technology solutions that could improve risk 
management, agility, and capabilities for strategic defense 
purposes.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Report on modernized multilevel security system
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1539) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
the Director of National Intelligence and in coordination with 
the Commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command and the 
commanders of such other combatant commands as the Secretary 
may determine appropriate, to submit to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than 120 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, a report on migrating the classified 
networks of the Department of Defense and the intelligence 
community, respectively, into a modernized multilevel security 
system.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees are aware of the Department's efforts to 
modernize its classified networks to provide for more secure 
tools to monitor and control access to the systems, while 
rapidly disseminating information. Therefore, the conferees 
direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act, on the 
status of its classified networks modernization efforts.
Cyber intelligence center
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1702) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a 
dedicated cyber intelligence capability to support the 
requirements of United States Cyber Command, the other 
combatant commands, the military departments, defense agencies, 
the Joint Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense for 
foundational, scientific and technical, and all-source 
intelligence on cyber technology development, capabilities, 
concepts of operations, operations, and plans and intentions of 
cyber threat actors.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees agree that intelligence support to the 
planning and execution of cyber operations conducted below the 
level of armed conflict, for preparation of the operational 
environment, and at each level of operational art--strategic, 
operational, and tactical--must be substantially improved. The 
conferees believe that the causes of, and solutions to, this 
requirement are complex.
      As a still-maturing combatant command in a new 
warfighting domain, Cyber Command itself must improve its 
ability to define and articulate its requirements for 
intelligence support at each level and phase of engagement with 
adversaries, as well as to actively engage the intelligence 
enterprise to fulfill them. It is likely that Cyber Command 
will continue to need assistance in maturing its requirements 
development process, and that the Secretary of Defense will 
need to ensure that such assistance is provided by the Defense 
Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency (NSA), and 
the intelligence components of the military departments. In 
addition, the other combatant commands need assistance and 
oversight in developing practical requirements for cyber 
operational support from Cyber Command.
      At the strategic and operational level, there is a clear 
need for improved foundational intelligence. The conferees are 
concerned that the Department of Defense will continue to fail 
to address this persistent shortfall without a legislative 
mandate and the creation of an organizational element dedicated 
to the task. The conferees are not prepared at this time to 
dictate a specific organizational solution, but expect the 
Secretary of Defense to generate and implement one.
      Equally problematic is the inability to produce fine-
grained target systems analysis, and detailed network and 
systems engineering analysis at the necessary pace and scale. 
The Cyber Mission Forces do not possess sufficient deep 
technical expertise nor adequate access to the data required to 
generate the required level of analysis organically. A 
significant portion of the target systems analysis support that 
is currently lacking could be provided under a decentralized, 
federated model based on cooperative teaming among the existing 
service intelligence centers (and the Department's foreign 
material acquisition and human intelligence components). This 
would obviate the need to establish a new, separate center 
dedicated to the cyber domain, but making a coalition work 
effectively on a sustained basis could prove to be very 
challenging without a committed leadership entity. The 
conferees urge the Secretary to devise an effective and 
sustainable organizational solution.
      The conferees conclude that the remaining, vital network 
and systems engineering analysis support for Cyber Command is 
likely to be achievable only via partnership with NSA. The NSA 
enterprise is best able to provide the required information and 
the analysis itself would need to be conducted under signals 
intelligence production authorities and oversight.
      As the Department of Defense cannot burden the national 
intelligence mission and budget of NSA for this level of 
tailored support for military cyber operations, the conferees 
believe that the Secretary of Defense should provide, separate 
from the national intelligence budget, the funding necessary 
for Cyber Command to acquire and sustain the required technical 
analytical capability and capacity. The conferees urge the 
Secretary to pursue this objective in stages, starting with a 
small-scale pilot deployment to develop a practical model that 
can be replicated. In addition, the conferees note the 
challenges in recruiting and retaining additional personnel 
with the necessary technical aptitude and experience in the 
same locales as the current NSA enterprise and urge the 
Secretary to adopt a more geographically distributed approach 
to this solution.
      The executive branch recently completed another positive 
review of the dual-hat arrangement for the Commander of Cyber 
Command/Director of NSA. The foregoing assessment suggests that 
this partnership should be extended, with DOD's independent 
funding responsibilities clearly delineated.
      Accordingly, the conferees urge the Secretary of Defense 
to develop an organization, and provide funding, personnel, and 
a management plan for the intelligence collection and analysis 
necessary to support the missions of Cyber Command and the 
other combatant commands in the disciplines of foundational 
intelligence, target systems analysis, and network and systems 
engineering analysis.
Independent evaluation regarding potential establishment of United 
        States Cyber Force and further evolution of current model for 
        management and execution of cyber mission
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1708) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
agreement with the National Academy of Public Administration to 
conduct an evaluation regarding the advisability of 
establishing a separate armed force dedicated to operations in 
the cyber domain, or refining and further evolving the current 
organizational approach for U.S. Cyber Command, which is based 
on the U.S. Special Operations Command model.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Policy and guidance on memory-safe software programming
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1713) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop 
Department of Defense-wide policy and guidance to implement the 
recommendations of the National Security Agency's (NSA) 
Software Memory Safety Cybersecurity Information Sheet 
published in November 2022.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
Cyber incident reporting
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1715) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with the Chief Information Officer of the Department of 
Defense, the Commander, United States Cyber Command, and the 
Commander, Joint Force Headquarters Department of Defense 
Information Network, to establish a cyber incident reporting 
process within the Department.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The agreement does not include this provision.
      The conferees note that Department of Defense systems 
continue to be the target of and susceptible to cyberattacks. 
We are concerned about the findings in the November 14, 2022 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) report titled, ``DOD 
Cybersecurity: Enhanced Attention Needed to Ensure Cyber 
Incidents Are Appropriately Reported and Shared'' (GAO-23-
105084), which determined that: (1) DOD has not fully 
implemented its processes for managing cyber incidents; (2) DOD 
does not have complete data on cyber incidents that are 
reported by DOD personnel; and (3) DOD does not document 
whether it notifies individuals' whose personal data is 
compromised in a cyber incident.
      We therefore direct the Department to conduct a briefing 
to the congressional defense committees, not later than 180 
days following the enactment of this Act, regarding how it is 
addressing the issues identified by the GAO to improve the 
Department's cybersecurity posture.

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
      The conferees are aware of the need to provide additional 
cyber protection support for certain senior Department of 
Defense personnel who, due to their positions, may be uniquely 
vulnerable or subject to cyber attacks and adversary 
information collection activities. Section 1645 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) provided the Secretary of Defense with the authority to 
provide such support for personal technology devices of 
personnel deemed highly vulnerable to cyber attacks and hostile 
information collection activities. The conferees are concerned 
that the authority established for by section 1645 may not be 
sufficient to keep pace with the current threat environment, in 
particular with regard to personal accounts and networks used 
by such personnel outside of the scope of their employment with 
the Department of Defense.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, 
not later than May 1, 2024, that contains: (1) An update on the 
implementation of and current status of the authorities granted 
under section 1645 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328); (2) An update on the 
frequency and nature of cyber threats faced by vulnerable 
personnel; (3) An analysis of whether it is advisable to expand 
current authorities as established by the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to 
include personal networks, personal accounts, and other 
potential avenues of vulnerability in order to ensure adequate 
cyber protection support of relevant personnel; and (4) Such 
other information as the Secretary deems appropriate.

on Department of Defense efforts to protect personal 
information of its personnel from exploitation by foreign 
adversaries.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees agree with the concerns and tasking 
reflected in the Senate provision. The conferees direct that, 
not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Comptroller General of the United States provide a 
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, the Select Committee on 
Intelligence of the Senate, and the Permanent Select Committee 
on Intelligence of the House of Representatives on Department 
of Defense (DOD) efforts to protect personal information of its 
personnel from exploitation by foreign adversaries.
       The briefing should provide:
      (1) An assessment of DOD efforts to protect the personal 
information, including location data generated by smart phones, 
of members of the Armed Forces, civilian employees of the 
Department of Defense, veterans, and their families from 
exploitation by foreign adversaries;
      (2) An assessment of the threat posed to DOD by adversary 
acquisition of comprehensive data on DOD military and civilian 
personnel, obtained through commercial sources, that can be 
used for information operations, to target cyber attacks, and 
to acquire indications and warning of preparations for military 
deployments and operations; and
      (3) Recommendations to improve Department of Defense 
policies and programs to meaningfully address these threats.
      The conferees further direct that the Comptroller General 
provide a report, in both classified and unclassified form, to 
the previously specified committees at a time mutually agreed 
upon between the committees and the Comptroller General.

Sec. 1665--Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system and Israeli 
        cooperative missile defense program co-development and co-
        production
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1634) 
that would authorize funding for the procurement of the Iron 
Dome short-range rocket defense system, David's Sling Weapon 
System, and Arrow 3 Upper Tier Interceptor Program as outlined 
under the Memorandum of Agreement between the United States and 
the Government of Israel for cooperative missile defense 
programs.

would require the rescission of the Directive-type Memorandum 
20-002 relating to ``Missile Defense System Policies and 
Governance.''
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would further 
qualify that, consistent with section 205(b) of title 10, 
United States Code, any such replacement shall provide the 
Missile Defense Agency with greater flexibility and agility 
with regards to milestone A (or equivalent) acquisition 
decisions while continuing the need for oversight with respect 
to ensuring integration of the joint force air and missile 
defense capabilities.
       The conferees recognize the value of flexible 
acquisition authorities for the development of missile 
capabilities given the need to pace rapidly evolving and 
expanding threats. However, such flexibility should also 
include rigorous, effective oversight, particularly for 
programs requiring investments commensurate to those of major 
defense acquisition programs. Accordingly, the conferees expect 
the Department of Defense to ensure that replacement policy 
guidance for Directive-type Memorandum 20-002 includes 
mechanisms to enable robust acquisition oversight for any 
missile defense programs that are expected to reach the 
expenditure thresholds for a major defense acquisition program 
outlined by section 4201 of title 10, United States Code, and 
provides for regularized reporting to Congress as described by 
section 4351 of title 10, United States Code.

would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report on 
the integrated air and missile defense sensor architecture of 
the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and specific programs of record 
which support additional sensor coverage for the State of 
Hawaii.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1637) that would require the Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific 
Command in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, the Commander of U.S. Northern 
Command, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, and the 
Director of the Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense 
Organization, to develop a comprehensive strategy for 
developing, acquiring, and operationally establishing an 
integrated air and missile defense architecture for the U.S. 
Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility. The provision 
would also require the submission of an annual report 
outlining: (1) The activities conducted and progress made in 
developing and implementing the strategy over the previous 
year; (2) The planned activities for developing and 
implementing the strategy in the upcoming year; and (3) A 
description of likely risks and impediments to the successful 
implementation of the strategy.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would 
consolidate the requirements into a single provision and make 
other clarifying changes.

would allocate specific funding amounts for each program under 
the Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Program 
from within the overall $350.9 million that the committee would 
authorize for the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. The 
allocation reflects the amount of the budget request for fiscal 
year 2024. This provision would specify that funds authorized 
to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for the 
Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, established under the 
Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Act (50 
U.S.C. 3711), would be available for obligation for fiscal 
years 2024 through 2026.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 1401).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

Director of National Intelligence, to serve as the decision 
authority for milestone A approval for space-related 
acquisition programs for ground and airborne moving target 
indication that are funded by the Military Intelligence 
Program.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of the Air Force to be responsible for presenting 
space-based ground and airborne moving target indication 
systems to the combatant commands, strikes the clause 
associated with final authority for such tasking, and includes 
elements of the House provision while removing the Space Force 
from the Moving Target Indication Working Group membership 
since it is a co-chair of the group.
Sec. 1685--Positioning, navigation, and timing
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1684) that 
would require the Chairs of the Positioning, Navigation, and 
Timing Oversight Council to provide quarterly briefings to the 
congressional defense committees on the status of Military code 
(M-Code) implementation, including the status of Military 
Global Positioning System User Equipment Increments 1 and 2, 
with details on expected dates of M-Code compliance for all 
sea-, air-, and land-based terminals across the services' 
platforms.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Modification to prohibition on foreign commercial satellite services
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that 
would modify the prohibition on foreign commercial satellite 
services for ground stations.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize the utility of operating 
satellite ground control from polar regions, which enable low-
latency communications due to frequent satellite revisit rates, 
and the U.S. Government's increased reliance on these sites 
commensurate with increased reliance on commercial 
communications capabilities. Many polar areas already in use, 
and with potential for growth for this purpose, are governed by 
special treaties that allow multiple countries to use the 
territory--Svalbard, Norway and potentially Antarctica are 
notable examples.
      Due to the growing importance and recognized 
vulnerability of critical data downloads to satellite ground 
stations located on Svalbard Island, the conferees direct the 
Secretary of Defense to brief the congressional defense 
committees, not later than March 1, 2024, assessing the 
feasibility and efficacy of an additional ground station 
location on U.S. soil, and to begin the process of creating 
security, resiliency, and redundancy for some of the nation's 
most critical national security data and infrastructure.
Limitation on use of funds for WGS-12 satellite
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1605) that 
would prohibit the Secretary of the Air Force from issuing a 
contract for the procurement of WGS-12 satellites until the 
Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisitions and 
Integration certifies that the requirements cannot be met by 
commercial providers.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees are concerned that the funding for WGS-12, 
like its predecessor WGS-11, was not requested by the U.S. 
Space Force in its budget request and that the service, enabled 
by Congress, continues to rely on only purpose-built systems 
instead of working to bring more commercial capabilities into 
the satellite communications (SATCOM) architecture.
      The conferees believe that going forward the U.S. Space 
Force should work with other service components to develop 
hybrid terminals that will enable the use of a resilient-by-
design architecture that takes advantage of commercial 
broadband services while also allowing access to on-orbit WGS.
      The conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of the Air 
Force for Space Acquisitions and Integration in consultation 
with the Joint Staff to submit a report the congressional 
defense committees, not later than March 1, 2024, on how the 
follow-on system for wideband communications will incorporate 
commercial SATCOM including budget profile and acquisition 
strategy. The report should also address how the other services 
plan to upgrade terminals on their platforms.
National security space launch program phase three acquisition
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1607) that 
would require the Secretary of the Air Force to maximize 
competition in the acquisition strategy for the National 
Security Space Launch Program, provide opportunities for 
emerging launch providers while assuring access to proven 
launch capabilities for low-risk tolerant payloads, and 
establish certain requirements for the two-lane acquisition 
approach.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1601).
      The conference agreement does not include either 
provision.

required to enable the development and conduct of combined 
space operations.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
brief the congressional defense committees, the Senate Select 
Committee on Intelligence, and the House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence, not later than March 1, 2024, on the 
classification practices and foreign disclosure policies 
required to enable the development and conduct of combined 
space operations among the following countries:

operations;
      (3) The actions being taken by the Department of Defense 
and the intelligence community (as defined in section 3 of the 
National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3003)) to remove the 
barriers to such information sharing, and the timeline for 
implementation of such actions;
      (4) Any statutory changes required to remove such 
barriers; and
      (5) Any other matter, as determined by the Secretary of 
Defense or the Director of National Intelligence.
      The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, the 
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, not later than 
April 31, 2024, on the implementation of the actions described 
in (3).

Ireland.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note the following:
      (1) On December 21, 1962, President John F. Kennedy and 
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Harold Macmillan met in 
Nassau, Bahamas, and issued a joint statement (commonly 
referred to as the ``Statement on Nuclear Defense Systems''), 
agreeing that the United States would make Polaris missiles 
available on a continuing basis to the United Kingdom for use 
in submarines;
      (2) On April 6, 1963, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and 
Her Majesty's Ambassador to the United States David Ormsby-Gore 
signed the Polaris Sales Agreement, reaffirming the Statement 
on Nuclear Defense Systems and agreeing that the United States 
Government shall provide and the Government of the United

Department of Defense funding for fiscal year 2024 for any work 
performed in China by EcoHealth Alliance, Inc., including by 
any subsidiary of EcoHealth Alliance Inc., any organization 
that is directly controlled by EcoHealth Alliance Inc., or any 
organization or individual that is a subgrantee or 
subcontractor of EcoHealth Alliance Inc. for such work, 
including to provide any grants for such purpose.

                       Subtitle B--Drone Security

Secs. 1821-1833--American Security Drone Act of 2023
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 827) that 
would expand the prohibition on Department of Defense (DOD) 
contractors operating certain unmanned aircraft systems 
regardless of whether specific operations are in support of a 
DOD contract.
      The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec. 
1091-1099D) prohibiting: (1) The purchase or use of certain 
unmanned aircraft systems by most agencies of the Federal 
Government following two years after enactment of this Act, 
except in certain limited circumstances; (2) Immediately the 
use of a Government-issued purchase cards to procure any 
covered unmanned aircraft system from a covered foreign entity; 
and (3) Any other entity from using Federal funds for such 
purchase or use.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) Add 
the Department of State to the list of agencies that may 
operate covered unmanned aircraft under certain circumstances; 
and (2) Exempt the intelligence community from any reporting on 
managing or reporting about current inventories of covered 
unmanned systems.
      The conferees are concerned with the Department of 
Defense's delay in issuing implementation guidance regarding 
section 817 of the James M. Inhofe National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-263). 
Implementing guidance was initially scheduled to be released in 
March, 2023, and was then delayed to December, 2023. Given our 
concerns about potential national security risks associated 
with continued use of drones from covered countries by the 
defense industrial base, we believe it is important for the 
Department to provide clear, timely implementation guidance, no 
later than the October 1, 2024 deadline, when signing any such 
contracts will be banned. Additionally, the conferees direct 
the Secretary of Defense to provide to the congressional 
defense committees a briefing, not later than 90 days after the 
enactment of this Act. That briefing should include the results 
of an evaluation of the impact that continued use of prohibited 
drones for non-defense applications by defense contractors may 
have on the security of the Department and its contractors.

              Subtitle C--Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

Secs. 1841-1843--Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
      The Senate amendment contained a set of provisions 
(sections 9001-9015) under Division G that constituted the 
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2023. 
Closely modeled on the President John F. Kennedy Assassination 
Records Collection Act of 1992, this Act would establish under 
the National Archives a government-wide collection of 
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) records and a mandate to 
declassify and publicly release these records; grounds for 
postponement of disclosure; a government-wide records Review 
Board, composed of qualified and impartial citizens nominated 
by the President and confirmed by the Senate, with the 
authority to review and approve, or postpone, the public 
release of records; a process and structure for supporting the 
Review Board with competent staff under an Executive Director; 
a requirement for the Review Board to develop a Controlled 
Disclosure Campaign plan for records the release of which have 
been postponed, wherein the President retains ultimate 
authority over the disclosure of records; and a mandate that 
the Federal Government exercise eminent domain over any and all 
recovered UAP physical and biological material that may be held 
by private persons or entities.
      The House bill contained no similar provisions.
      The House recedes with an amendment.
      The conference agreement includes only the requirements 
to establish a government-wide UAP records collection; to 
transfer records to the collection; and to review the records 
for disclosure decisions under a set of authorized grounds for 
postponing disclosure. The agreement does not include the 
provisions that would establish an independent Review Board, a 
Review Board staff, eminent domain authority, or a controlled 
disclosure process.
      The conferees note that lack of sufficient reciprocal 
access between Department of Defense and intelligence community 
personnel has led to operational inefficiencies and unnecessary 
risk of disclosures of protected information. Therefore, the 
conferees direct the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the 
Director of National Intelligence to brief the congressional 
defense committees, the Senate Select Committee on 
Intelligence, the House Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence, and congressional leadership on options to 
improve reciprocal access and coordination on similar issues.

             Subtitle D--World Trade Center Health Program

Secs. 1851-1853--World Trade Center Health Program
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1087) 
that would amend title XXXIII of the Public Health Service Act 
(Public Law 78-410) to make changes to the World Trade Center 
Health Program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment.

for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
       The conferees note that information submitted pursuant 
to section 1055(b)(3) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) involving the 
provision of DSS is important to fulfilling the oversight 
responsibilities of the defense committees. The conferees are 
supportive of working with the Department of Defense to ensure 
that the notifications provided under this requirement are 
scoped to prioritize sensitive operational support and minimize 
the administrative burden associated with providing information 
on routine administrative or logistical support, while 
maintaining robust and timely oversight of the DSS process.
Clarification of waiver authority for organizational and consultant 
        conflicts of interest under the Federal Acquisition Regulation

not later than April 1, 2024, on the Department's ability to 
collect family reference samples for servicemembers of the USS 
Arizona (including efforts by military service casualty 
offices), and any obstacles to such collection. The briefing 
should include: (1) Resource constraints for the DPAA and the 
military departments; (2) Technology challenges; (3) Any 
improvements that can be made to the sample collection process; 
(4) Challenges the Department and the military services face 
gathering family reference sample collection in other cases;

is produced in the United States.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Limitation on funds
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1809) that 
would prohibit funds from being used by a Federal department or 
agency to refer to Taiwan as anything other than ``Taiwan'' in 
a publication or on a departmental or agency website.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Report on China benefitting from United States taxpayer-funded research

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on 
the extent to which China has benefitted from United States 
taxpayer-funded research.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1821) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs, not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, to jointly submit to Congress a report 
that contains a proposal to increase national cemetery capacity 
through the expansion or modification of a national cemetery 
that has, or will have, the capacity to provide full military 
honors.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the report accompanying H.R. 4350 
(H. Rept. 117-118) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2022 required the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees on

security interests of the United States. The conferees direct 
the Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act, to provide to the congressional 
defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives, a report in an unclassified form with a 
classified annex if necessary, which includes the current state 
of, and delivery schedule for, the sale or transfer of F-15s 
and F-35s to Israel; and a review of measures that could 
increase the overall production rate of these aircraft as 
appropriate or expedite the delivery schedule.
Report on system dependencies, uptime, and key factors of electronic 
        health record system
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1827) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report, not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, on the 
electronic health record system and other system dependencies, 
uptime, and key factors that affect the Department of Defense 
and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Director of the Federal 
Electronic Health Record Modernization (FEHRM) to provide a 
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than 180 days after the

Report on regime stability in Russia
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1828) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State 
to submit a report including the manner and extent to which 
regime instability in Russia would affect United States 
national security, the security of North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) allies, and the geopolitical aftershocks 
throughout Eurasia, an assessment of the stability of the Putin 
regime, and clarity on the command and control structure of 
Russia's nuclear arsenal in different contexts.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that an unstable Russia presents 
varied, serious, and complex security challenges and threats to 
the United States and its allies, partners, and interests. We 
also note that the challenge to the Russian state by personnel 
of the Wagner private military company in June 2023 suggests 
that Russian command-and-control of state- and state-directed 
forces may have serious deficiencies with important 
ramifications for United States and allied assessments of 
Russian policy, doctrine, strategy, tactics, and intentions.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Director of the 
Defense Intelligence Agency to conduct an assessment of the 
stability of Russian defense forces. The assessment should 
include:
      (1) An overview of Russian command-and-control of its 
national defense forces, the Wagner Group, and other private 
military companies under the direction of or aligned with the 
Russian state;
      (2) The manner and extent to which any deficiencies in 
Russian command-and-control affect United States national 
security or the security of NATO allies and partners, including 
assumptions about Russian intent, indications and warning of 
threats to the United States, its allies, partners, or 
interests, and Russian defense forces ability or willingness to 
obey orders from political leadership;
      (3) A description of Russian nuclear forces, including 
their command-and-control structure, an analysis of the 
strengths and weaknesses of that structure, and the 
relationship between Russian nuclear forces and Russian-
controlled or directed private military companies; and
      (4) Any other matter the Director deems relevant. The 
assessment shall be submitted to Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Senate 
Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence, not later than March 1, 2024.

      The House recedes.
Exemption under Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 for certain 
        activities that may result in incidental take of Rice's whale
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1853) that 
would require the Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the 
Interior, and the Secretary of Defense to provide exemptions to 
training and testing activities conducted by the Secretary of 
the Air Force on the Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range, 
located at Eglin Air Force Base, that may result in incidental 
take of the Rice's whale.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
Restrictive housing reform
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1855) that 
would place limitations on restrictive housing in military 
prisons.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
       The conferees are interested in the Department of 
Defense's (DOD) use and monitoring of restrictive housing in 
military correctional and confinement facilities. The conferees 
are aware of concerns related to restrictive housing in the 
United States prison system. Some of those concerns include 
variations in confinement conditions for confined individuals 
and the forms of restrictive confinement. A prisoner's 
experience with restrictive confinement can vary considerably 
depending on certain external factors, such as the length of 
stay, conditions of confinement, and degree of social 
isolation, as well as factors specific to each confined person, 
such as age and psychological resiliency. Moreover, according 
to interviews conducted by The Stanford Lab, confined 
individuals located in restrictive housing broadly express 
severe psychological disturbances with lasting detrimental 
consequences as a result of their experience in restrictive 
housing.
      Given the potentially pronounced and enduring effects of 
long-term isolation, the Committee directs the Comptroller 
General of the United States to conduct a review of restrictive 
housing confinement conditions for military correctional and 
confinement facilities, to include minimum security confinement 
facilities. The review should include the following elements: 
(1) Policies and processes related to placement into 
restrictive housing, including reasons or purposes for 
placement or retention of confined individuals in restrictive 
housing, restrictions on placement or retention, and processes 
that exist to review placement or retention decisions; (2) 
Processes to return confined individuals from restrictive 
housing to less restrictive conditions (including ultimately to 
the general population); (3) Policies and processes regarding 
the time confined individuals in restrictive housing may spend 
outside cells and options for outside and in-cell enrichment, 
such as for educational opportunities, recreation, medical or 
behavioral health treatment, social interactions, and skill 
building; (4) Policies and processes related to correctional 
staff, including training on use of force and restrictive 
housing policies, how compliance with training requirements is 
tracked, and how alleged violations of use of force are 
addressed; (5) The extent to which DOD collects data regarding 
the total number of confined individuals in restrictive 
housing, broken down by the length of time they remain in such 
housing, and the number of individuals in disciplinary 
segregation, administrative detention, and other restrictive 
housing; (6) The extent that DOD's policies, processes, and 
practices are similar to or differ from those of the Federal 
Bureau of Prisons or other relevant standards; and (7) Any 
other areas that the Comptroller General considers relevant to 
the review.
       The Committee directs the Comptroller General to provide 
preliminary observations to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives by March 15, 2025, 
with a report to follow on an agreed upon date.
Sense of Congress regarding unmanned aerial, surface, and underwater 
        vehicles
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1856) that 
would express the sense of Congress regarding unmanned 
vehicles.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize that unmanned systems will play 
an increasingly important role in modern warfare, particularly 
in bolstering deterrent capability for the Indo-Pacific region. 
The conferees believe that continued investment in research, 
development, and fielding of such systems will advance national 
security goals, and that encouragement and coordination of 
allied and partner investments for unmanned aerial, surface, 
and underwater vessels should be factored into decision-making 
processes.
Sense of Congress regarding naming of vessel for Battle of Dai Do
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1857) that 
would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the 
Navy should name an amphibious or expeditionary vessel after 
the Battle of Dai Do.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
Risk framework for foreign phone applications of concern
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1858) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to create categorical 
definitions of foreign phone applications of concern with 
respect to personnel or operations of the Department of 
Defense, distinguishing among categories such as applications 
for shopping, social media, entertainment, or health; and 
create a risk framework with respect to Department personnel or 
operations that assesses each foreign phone application (or, if 
appropriate, grouping of similar such applications) that is 
from a country of concern for any potential impact on 
Departmental personnel and Departmental operations.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
Sense of Congress supporting Project Pele
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1859) that 
would support Project Pele which seeks to develop, demonstrate, 
and deploy an advanced portable nuclear microreactor at Idaho 
National Laboratory by 2025.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees believe Project Pele has the potential to 
bolster the national security of the United States by providing 
reliable, resilient, and clean baseload energy for military 
bases and operations domestically and abroad. The conferees 
note a $5.0 million increase for Project Pele in the funding 
authorization tables of this bill, over and above the program 
funding contained in the President's Budget Request, and note 
that this level of support is consistent with that contained in 
past National Defense Authorization Acts.
National strategy for utilizing microreactors to assist with natural 
        disaster response efforts
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1860) that 
would require the President to develop a national strategy to 
utilize microreactors to assist with natural disaster response 
efforts.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Waiver process for certain humanitarian aid
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1861) that 
would amend the waiver process for certain humanitarian aid.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the Department of Defense provides 
important support to interagency humanitarian assistance 
efforts through a variety of means, including the Denton 
Program and humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and 
humanitarian mine action funded by Overseas Humanitarian, 
Disaster, and Civic Aid funds. Further, the Department of 
Defense support for humanitarian assistance can play an 
important role to meet the needs of the Pacific Islands. The 
conferees commend these efforts and encourage further efforts 
to facilitate assistance to the region.
Report
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1862) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on 
the status of the formulation of policies by the Director of 
the Defense Security Cooperation Agency to record and track 
alleged incidents of misuse of United States-provided equipment 
in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the importance of end-use monitoring
      (EUM) of U.S. security assistance for providing 
assurances that transferred defense articles and services are 
being used by recipient countries for their intended purposes. 
The conferees further note that the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) and 
the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-263) contained multiple 
provisions to address the monitoring of United States-provided 
equipment to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Section 1336 
of Public Law 117-81 required the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report that included: (1) A description of any ongoing 
or planned security cooperation activities between the United 
States and the Northern Triangle countries focused on 
protection of human rights and adherence to the rule of law; 
and (2) a description of efforts to investigate credible 
information on gross violations of human rights by the military 
or national security forces of the governments of Northern 
Triangle countries since January 1, 2017, including the 
possible use in committing such violations of defense articles 
provided by the United States.
       In response to a separate requirement in section 1336, 
the Government Accountability Office reviewed the EUM 
procedures in producing a November 2022 report entitled, 
``Northern Triangle: DOD and State Need Improved Policies to 
Address Equipment Misuse'' (GAO-23-105856). Subsequently, 
Public Law 117-263 required the Comptroller General to provide 
a briefing on the findings and recommendations of that report 
and any additional recommendations regarding the use of EUM 
procedures to ensure that U.S. security assistance is used for 
its intended purposes. The briefing led to provisions included 
elsewhere in this Act to require the Comptroller General to 
submit additional reports regarding EUM and enhanced EUM.
       Finally, section 1336 required the Secretary of Defense 
to enter into an agreement with a federally funded research and 
development center to complete an evaluation, not later than 
June 30, 2024, of Department of Defense security cooperation 
programs in United States Southern Command area of 
responsibility that includes: (1) How such programs in general 
and in Northern Triangle countries in particular advance U.S. 
Southern Command's Theater Campaign Plan; (2) How such programs 
in general and in Northern Triangle countries in particular 
promote the rule of law and human rights in the United States 
Southern Command area of responsibility; and (3) How such 
programs in general and in Northern Triangle countries in 
particular advance the objectives of the 2022 National Defense 
Strategy.
Expanded eligibility for bereavement leave for members of the Armed 
        Forces
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1863) that 
would amend section 701 of title 10, United States Code, to 
expand eligibility for bereavement leave under such statute.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the section 622 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-
81) created bereavement leave as a codified benefit for members 
of the Armed Services to ensure that no member could be denied 
paid time off following the death of a child or spouse. This 
benefit was a compromise borne out of a separate legislative 
proposal, section 622 of H.R. 4350, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, as passed by the House 
of Representatives, that would have guaranteed paid leave time 
for parents who lose a child if the servicemember's parental 
leave had already been approved but not yet fully used. But 
that proposal would not have provided any guaranteed paid leave 
for parents who had already used their parental leave, and it 
would not have provided any guaranteed leave for members 
following the death of a child after the child's first year of 
life, as parental leave was required to be used within a year 
of the birth or adoption of such child. Section 622 would also 
not have provided any guaranteed time off for members upon the 
death of a spouse.
      The conferees note that bereavement leave was never 
intended to create an entirely novel statutory entitlement to 
cover any loss that a servicemember might face, but rather to 
ensure that members who face the most difficult loss, the death 
of a child or spouse, could not be denied leave time to grieve 
such death. The annual leave policy under section 701 of title 
10, United States Code, provides a generous benefit for members 
to take leave for personal reasons, including personal loss. 
Such statutory entitlement is bolstered by standing Department 
of Defense policies that provide for emergency leave, advance 
leave, compassionate reassignment, and many other policies 
supportive of servicemembers when in need. Bereavement leave is 
one additional backstop to ensure that no member could be 
denied a period of paid time off from work following the death 
of a child or spouse. Because of this, bereavement leave was 
made non-chargeable if affected servicemembers had fewer than 
30 days of leave so that none could be denied such leave on the 
grounds that they had already used their accumulated paid 
leave.
       The conferees expect that servicemembers who experience 
the loss of a close family member are afforded as much time off 
as possible, including via bereavement leave or emergency 
leave; alternate duties as required; and other accommodations 
as situationally appropriate.

the process of conducting that review and expects to publish

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Ordering authority for maintenance, repair, and construction of

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2802) 
that would allow the head of a department or organization 
within the Department of Defense to place an order, on a 
reimbursable basis, with any other such department or 
organization for a project for the maintenance and repair of a 
facility of the Department of Defense or for a minor military

sustainment of combat capabilities eligible for the Defense 
Laboratory Modernization Program.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that development and engineering 
center facilities require appropriate investments to perform 
their critical functions. These facilities are important for 
capability development and sustainment functions but may not be 
considered traditional defense laboratories based on the 
internal Department of Defense definitions. The conferees 
believe that existing authorities may be helpful for addressing 
infrastructure requirements, and therefore direct the Secretary 
of Defense to submit a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than March 1, 2024, on how Defense Laboratory 
Modernization Program authorities may be used to meet potential 
infrastructure requirements for development and engineering 
centers.
Expansion of maximum amount of funds available for certain Defense 
        Laboratory Improvement Program projects
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2804) that 
would increase the maximum amount of funds available for 
Defense Laboratory Improvement Program projects to $200.0 
million.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the continued importance of laboratory 
modernization and recommend the Department of Defense use 
existing defense laboratory modernization authorities to meet 
its facility and infrastructure requirements.
Prioritization of certain military construction projects to improve 
        infrastructure at certain facilities determined to be critical 
        to national security
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2805) that 
would direct the Secretary of Defense to prioritize projects 
when considering military resilience projects under section 
2815 of title 10, United States Code.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
Authority to lease land parcel for hospital and medical campus, 
        Barrigada Transmitter Site, Guam
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2806) 
that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to lease to the 
Government of Guam parcels of land to construct medical 
facilities.

Reporting requirements and congressional notification for certain 
        military construction projects
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2809) that 
would clarify reporting requirements and require notifications 
to Members of Congress on certain military construction 
projects in their district.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the military departments are 
inconsistent in the methods by which they notify Member offices 
on military construction awards with some relying on passive 
postings of awards, and others proactive reaching out to 
interested Members of Congress. The conferees encourage the 
military departments to be proactive in their communication to 
maximize transparency of these awards.
Authority to operate certain transient housing of the Department of 
        Defense transferred to Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
        Energy, Installations, and Environment
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2821) that 
would transfer the jurisdiction for the administration of 
military transient lodging to the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the James M. Inhofe National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-
263) required the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of 
the Air Force to provide a briefing by December 1, 2023 as to 
the anticipated steady state cost avoidance that could be 
anticipated if a lodging privatization effort were adopted, any 
barriers to implementing, and any impact to traveling 
servicemembers. The conferees further note that the Government 
Accountability Office's (GAO) report published on June 9, 2021, 
titled ``Military Lodging: DOD Should Provide Congress with 
More Information on Army's Privatization and Better Guidance to 
the Military Services'' (GAO-21-214), noted that the Army may 
be overstating its cost avoidance due to the methodology it 
uses to calculate said cost avoidance, which was why the 
required briefing was asked to consider GAO's concerns over the 
existing Army program.
      The conferees finally note that chapter 169 of title 10, 
United States Code, provides authority to the Secretaries 
concerned to privatize lodging facilities should they choose 
and that congressional action is not necessary for the 
privatization of transient lodging to take place. The conferees 
expect that should a service Secretary deem it appropriate to 
transition to a privatized model, any such implementation 
should take into consideration any organizational changes such 
as those laid out in the House provision. Therefore, the 
conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, 
Installations, and Environment and the respective Assistant 
Secretaries for Energy, Installations, and Environment for each 
military department to provide a briefing on the feasibility of 
assuming responsibility for transient housing matters to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by May 1, 2024.

the capacity of the Department of Defense to provide survivors 
of natural disasters with emergency short-term housing.

      The House recedes.

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (Public Law 117-
263) required the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
analyzing the capacity of the Department of Defense to provide 
survivors of natural disasters with emergency short-term 
housing. The conferees direct the Secretary to coordinate with 
the Federal Emergency Management Agency on the required report 
and in addition to the congressional defense committees, submit 
the required report to the Senate Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs Committee and the House Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure. The conferees eagerly await 
this report as it will help inform the conferees' understanding 
of the Department of Defense's ability to support the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency in the event of a natural disaster.
Requirement for security cameras in common areas and entry points of 
        military unaccompanied housing
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2829)

percent of the replacement cost include security cameras in 
common areas and entry points.

      The conferees note that outstanding reporting 
requirements remain related to the potential use of security 
cameras in military housing.

      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a briefing, not later than April 1, 2024, to the congressional 
defense committees on the use of organic Department of Defense 
facilities and facilities leased by the Department. The 
briefing shall include the following: (1) Daily access rates by 
individuals at facilities with a capacity of 3,500 personnel or 
greater, disaggregated by government and contractor personnel; 
(2) Workforce capacity at facilities with a capacity of 3,500

      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would limit 
expansion of ARIES while allowing continued operations until 
the Administrator certifies the base capability to produce 30 
war reserve plutonium pits per year.
Sec. 3117--Plutonium Modernization Program management
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3113) 
that would amend section 4219 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act 
(50 U.S.C. 2538a) to require the Administrator of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to manage the Plutonium 
Modernization Program under the provisions of Defense Programs 
Program Execution Instruction (PEI), Enhanced Management 
Category A.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment.
      The conferees note that the Comptroller General of the 
United States has reported on serious deficiencies in the 
National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) management 
and oversight of the plutonium modernization program. Best 
practices for program schedule development and cost estimating 
are identified in two Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
guides, ``GAO Schedule Assessment Guide: Best Practices for 
Project Schedules'' (GAO-16-89G) and ``Cost Estimating and 
Assessment Guide: Best Practices for Developing and Managing 
Program Costs'' (GAO-20-195G). However, a recent GAO report 
dated January 12, 2023 titled, ``Nuclear Weapons: NNSA Does Not 
Have a Comprehensive Schedule or Cost Estimate for Pit 
Production Capability'' (GAO-23-104661) found that, when 
assessed against best practices, the plutonium modernization 
program's integrated master schedule was not comprehensive and 
that the program lacked a life cycle cost estimate.
      The conferees also note that NNSA Policy 413.2 ``Program 
Management Policy'' permits program management requirements to 
be tailored based on risk and complexity in certain instances. 
The conferees are aware that the plutonium modernization 
program is currently managed under NNSA guidance--specifically 
the Enhanced Management B category of the Program Execution 
Instruction--that permits the program to tailor aspects of the 
program's integrated master schedule and cost estimates. The 
conferees are concerned, however, that such tailoring does not 
impose sufficient management and oversight rigor for a program 
of this cost and importance, and may impede congressional 
oversight.
      Therefore, the conferees direct NNSA to develop and 
manage the plutonium modernization program, or any subsequently 
developed program, using an integrated master schedule and a 
life cycle cost estimate that fully meets GAO best practices 
for both schedule development and cost estimating.
Sec. 3118--Modification of certain requirements and authorities

      (1) Aspects of the Armed Forces have intentions to use 
advanced nuclear reactors at United States military bases, both 
domestically and internationally, because of advanced nuclear 
technologies' potential ability to generate clean electricity 
consistently and reliably;
      (2) The Armed Forces currently rely on fossil fuel, which 
presents potential safety risks and national security risks 
associated with such reliance;
      (3) Advanced nuclear reactors can provide clean, 
uninterrupted electricity to power a wide array of domestic and 
international military operations;
      (4) The Armed Forces have grown accustomed to an 
operational energy supply chain in times of peace, but the 
United States also needs to prepare for the logistical 
challenges arising from the battles of tomorrow; and
      (5) Energy use on the battlefield will increase 
significantly over the next decade, and advanced nuclear 
reactors will be an important solution to providing a secure, 
dense, and firm energy supply.
Military department use of advanced nuclear reactors
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3135) that 
would require the Secretary of each of the military departments
