    SEC. 345. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PROCESS FOR MODERNIZATION OF
                            ARMY COMPUTER SERVICES.

        (a) Purpose of Modernization.--It is the sense of Congress that any
    modernization of computer services (also known as the Army Wholesale
    Logistics Modernization Program) of the Army Communications Electronics
    Command of the Army Materiel Command to replace the systems currently
    provided by the Logistics Systems Support Center in St. Louis, Missouri,
    and the Industrial Logistics System Center in Chambersburg,
    Pennsylvania, should have as a primary goal the sustainment of military
    readiness.
        (b) Use of Standard Industry Integration Practices.--It is the sense
    of Congress that, in order to sustain readiness, any contract for the
    modernization of the computer services referred to in subsection (a), in
    addition to containing all of the requirements specified by the
    Secretary of the Army, should require the use of standard industry
    integration practices to provide further readiness risk mitigation.
        (c) Proposed Contractor Practices.--It is the sense of Congress that
    the following practices should be employed by any contractor engaged in
    the modernization of the computer services referred to in subsection (a)
    to ensure continued readiness:
                (1) Testing practices.--Before any proposed modernization
            solution is implemented, the solution should be rigorously

    [[Page 113 STAT. 571]]

            tested to ensure that it meets the performance requirements of
            the Army and all other functional requirements. At each step in
            the testing process, confirmation of successful test completion
            should be required before the contractor begins the next step of
            the modernization process.
                (2) Implementation team.--The Secretary of the Army should
            establish an implementation team to monitor efficiencies and
            effectiveness of the modernization solutions.

        (d) Readiness Sustainment.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    following additional readiness sustainment measures should be undertaken
    as part of the modernization of the computer services referred to in
    subsection (a):
                (1) Government oversight.--It is extremely important that
            the Army Materiel Command retains sufficient in-house expertise
            to ensure that readiness is not adversely affected by the
            modernization efforts and to effectively oversee contractor
            performance.
                (2) Use of contract partnering.--The Army Materiel Command
            should encourage partnerships with the contractor, with the
            primary goal of providing quality contract deliverables on time
            and at a reasonable price. Any such partnership agreement should
            constitute a mutual commitment on how the Army Materiel Command
            and the contractor will interact during the course of the
            contract, with the objective of facilitating optimum contract
            performance through teamwork, enhanced communications,
            cooperation, and good faith performance.

        (a) Study Required.--In accordance with this section, the
    Comptroller General shall conduct a study of restructured sustainment
    and reengineered logistics product support practices within the
    Department of Defense, which are designed to provide spare parts and
    other supplies to military units and installations as needed during a
    transition to war fighting rather than relying on large stockpiles of
    such spare parts and supplies. The purpose of the study is to determine
    whether restructured sustainment and reengineered logistics product
    support practices would be able to provide adequate sustainment supplies
    to military units and installations should it ever be necessary to
    execute the National Military Strategy prescribed by the Chairman of the
    Joint Chiefs of Staff.
        (b) Matters To Be Included in Study.--The Comptroller General shall
    specifically evaluate (and recommend improvements in) the following:

            support the fighting of two, nearly simultaneous, major theater
            wars, as required by the National Military Strategy.
                (3) The expected availability through the national
            technology and industrial base of spare parts and supplies not
            readily available in the Department inventories, such as parts
            for aging equipment that no longer have active vendor support.

        (c) Report <<NOTE: Deadline.>> Required.--Not later than March 1,
    2000, the Comptroller General shall submit to Congress a report
    containing the results of the study. The report shall include the
    Comptroller General's findings, conclusions, and recommendations
    concerning each of the matters specified in subsection (b).

    of the impact that the consistent lack of adequate funding

    [[Page 113 STAT. 578]]

    for real property maintenance of military installations during the five-
    year period ending December 31, 1998, has had on readiness, the quality
    of life of members of the Armed Forces and their dependents, and the
    infrastructure on military installations.
        (b) Funding Matters To Be Reviewed.--In conducting the review under
    this section, the Comptroller General shall specifically consider the
    following for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force:
                (1) For each year of the covered five-year period, the
            extent to which unit training and operating funds were diverted
            to meet basic base operations and real property maintenance
            needs.
                (2) The types of training delayed, canceled, or curtailed as
            a result of the diversion of such funds.
                (3) The level of funding required to eliminate the real
            property maintenance backlog at military installations so that
            facilities meet the standards necessary for optimum utilization
            during times of mobilization.

        (c) Command and Management Matters To Be Reviewed.--As part of the
    review conducted under this section, the Comptroller General shall--
                (1) review the method of command and management of military
            installations for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force;
            and
                (2) develop, based on such review, recommendations for the
            optimum command structure for military installations, to have
            major command status, which are designed to enhance the
            development of installations doctrine, privatization and
            outsourcing, commercial activities, environmental compliance
            programs, installation restoration, and military construction.

        (d) Report <<NOTE: Deadline.>> Required.--Not later than March 1,
    2000, the Comptroller General shall submit to Congress a report
    containing the results of the review required under this section and the
    optimum command structure recommended under subsection (c).

            forces in the Pacific Theater of Operations from December 7,
            1941 to July 29, 1945;
                (2) with her courageous and capable crew, compiled an
            impressive combat record during the war in the Pacific,
            receiving in the process 10 battle stars in actions from the
            Aleutians to Okinawa;
                (3) <<NOTE: Raymond Spruance. William F. Halsey.>> rendered

            the Pacific during World War II to her pivotal role in
            delivering the weapon that brought the war to an end, the U.S.S.

    Plan until 180 days after the date that would otherwise apply under
    paragraph (1) if the Secretary, after consultation with the Executive
    Director (appointed by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board),
    determines that permitting such members to participate in the Thrift
    Savings Plan beginning on the date that would otherwise apply under
    paragraph (1) would place an excessive burden on the administrative
    capacity of the Board to accommodate participants in the Thrift Savings
    Plan.

    congressional defense committees, the Committee on Government Reform of

            qualifying offsetting legislation; and
                (B) there is enacted during the second session of the One
            Hundred Sixth Congress qualifying offsetting legislation.

    The preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to the amendment
    made by section 661(a)(3)(B)(i).

                (A) The term ``qualifying offsetting legislation'' means
            legislation (other than an appropriations Act) that includes
            provisions that--
                        (i) offset fully the decreased revenues for each of
                    fiscal years 2000 through 2009 to be made by reason of
                    the amendments made by this subtitle;
                        (ii) expressly state that they are enacted for the
                    purpose of the offset described in clause (i); and
                        (iii) are included in full on the PayGo scorecard.

    SEC. 701. PHARMACY BENEFITS PROGRAM.

        (a) In General.--(1) Chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, is
    amended by inserting after section 1074f the following new section:

    ``Sec. 1074g. Pharmacy benefits program

        ``(a) Pharmacy Benefits.--(1) The Secretary of Defense, after
    consulting with the other administering Secretaries, shall establish an
    effective, efficient, integrated pharmacy benefits program under this
    chapter (hereinafter in this section referred to as the `pharmacy
    benefits program').
        ``(2)(A) The pharmacy benefits program shall include a uniform
    formulary of pharmaceutical agents, which shall assure the availability
    of pharmaceutical agents in the complete range of therapeutic classes.
    The selection for inclusion on the uniform formulary of particular
    pharmaceutical agents in each therapeutic class shall be based on the
    relative clinical and cost effectiveness of the agents in such class.
        ``(B) In considering the relative clinical effectiveness of agents
    under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall presume inclusion in a
    therapeutic class of a pharmaceutical agent, unless the Pharmacy and
    Therapeutics Committee established under subsection (b) finds that a
    pharmaceutical agent does not have a significant, clinically meaningful
    therapeutic advantage in terms of safety, effectiveness, or clinical
    outcome over the other drugs included on the uniform formulary.
        ``(C) In considering the relative cost effectiveness of agents under
    subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall rely on the evaluation by the
    Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee of the costs of agents in a
    therapeutic class in relation to the safety, effectiveness, and clinical
    outcomes of such agents.
        ``(D) <<NOTE: Procedures.>> The Secretary shall establish procedures
    for the selection of particular pharmaceutical agents for the uniform
    formulary. Such procedures shall be established so as best to
    accomplish, in the judgment of the Secretary, the objectives set forth
    in paragraph (1). No pharmaceutical agent may be excluded from the
    uniform formulary except upon the recommendation of the Pharmacy and
    Therapeutics Committee. <<NOTE: Deadline.>> The Secretary shall begin to
    implement the uniform formulary not later than October 1, 2000.

        ``(E) Pharmaceutical agents included on the uniform formulary shall
    be available to eligible covered beneficiaries through--
                ``(i) facilities of the uniformed services, consistent with
            the scope of health care services offered in such facilities;
                ``(ii) retail pharmacies designated or eligible under the
            TRICARE program or the Civilian Health and Medical Program of
            the Uniformed Services to provide pharmaceutical agents to
            covered beneficiaries; or
                ``(iii) the national mail-order pharmacy program.

        ``(3) The pharmacy benefits program shall assure the availability of
    clinically appropriate pharmaceutical agents to members of the armed
    forces, including, where appropriate, agents not included on the uniform
    formulary described in paragraph (2).

    [[Page 113 STAT. 678]]

        ``(4) The pharmacy benefits program may provide that prior
    authorization be required for certain pharmaceutical agents to assure
    that the use of such agents is clinically appropriate.
        ``(5) The pharmacy benefits program shall assure the availability to
    eligible covered beneficiaries of pharmaceutical agents not included on
    the uniform formulary. Such pharmaceutical agents shall be available
    through at least one of the means described in paragraph (2)(E) under
    terms and conditions that may include cost sharing by the eligible
    covered beneficiary in addition to any such cost sharing applicable to
    agents on the uniform formulary.
        ``(6) The Secretary, as part of the regulations established under
    subsection (g), may establish cost sharing requirements (which may be
    established as a percentage or fixed dollar amount) under the pharmacy
    benefits program for generic, formulary, and nonformulary agents. For
    nonformulary agents, cost sharing shall be consistent with common
    industry practice and not in excess of amounts generally comparable to
    20 percent for beneficiaries covered by section 1079 of this title or 25
    percent for beneficiaries covered by section 1086 of this title.
        ``(7) <<NOTE: Procedures.>> The Secretary shall establish procedures
    for eligible covered beneficiaries to receive pharmaceutical agents not
    included on the uniform formulary, but, considered to be clinically
    necessary. Such procedures shall include peer review procedures under
    which the Secretary may determine that there is a clinical justification
    for the use of a pharmaceutical agent that is not on the uniform
    formulary, in which case the pharmaceutical agent shall be provided
    under the same terms and conditions as an agent on the uniform
    formulary. Such procedures shall also include an expeditious appeals
    process for an eligible covered beneficiary, or a network or uniformed
    provider on behalf of the beneficiary, to establish clinical
    justification for the use of a pharmaceutical agent that is not on the
    uniform formulary.

        ``(8) In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary shall ensure
    that an eligible covered beneficiary may continue to receive coverage
    for any maintenance pharmaceutical that is not on the uniform formulary
    and that was prescribed for the beneficiary before the date of the
    enactment of this section and stabilized the medical condition of the
    beneficiary.
        ``(b) Establishment of Committee.--(1) The Secretary of Defense
    shall, in consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments,
    establish a Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee for the purpose of
    developing the uniform formulary of pharmaceutical agents required by
    subsection (a), reviewing such formulary on a periodic basis, and making
    additional recommendations regarding the formulary as the committee
    determines necessary and appropriate. The committee shall include
    representatives of pharmacies of the uniformed services facilities,
    contractors responsible for the TRICARE retail pharmacy program,
    contractors responsible for the national mail-order pharmacy program,
    providers in facilities of the uniformed services, and TRICARE network
    providers. Committee members shall have expertise in treating the
    medical needs of the populations served through such entities and in the
    range of pharmaceutical and biological medicines available for treating
    such populations. <<NOTE: Procedures.>> The committee shall function
    under procedures established by the Secretary under the regulations
    required by subsection (g).

    [[Page 113 STAT. 679]]

        ``(2) <<NOTE: Deadline.>> Not later than 90 days after the
    establishment of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee by the
    Secretary, the committee shall convene to design a proposed uniform
    formulary for submission to the Secretary. After such 90-day period, the
    committee shall meet at least quarterly and shall, during meetings,
    consider for inclusion on the uniform formulary under the standards
    established in subsection (a) any drugs newly approved by the Food and
    Drug Administration.

        ``(c) Advisory <<NOTE: Establishment.>> Panel.--(1) Concurrent with
    the establishment of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee under
    subsection (b), the Secretary shall establish a Uniform Formulary
    Beneficiary Advisory Panel to review and comment on the development of
    the uniform formulary. The Secretary shall consider the comments of the
    panel before implementing the uniform formulary or implementing changes
    to the uniform formulary.

        ``(2) The Secretary shall determine the size and membership of the
    panel established under paragraph (1), which shall include members that
    represent nongovernmental organizations and associations that represent
    the views and interests of a large number of eligible covered
    beneficiaries.
        ``(d) Procedures.--(1) In the operation of the pharmacy benefits
    program under subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall assure
    through management and new contractual arrangements that financial
    resources are aligned such that the cost of prescriptions is borne by
    the organization that is financially responsible for the health care of
    the eligible covered beneficiary.
        ``(2) <<NOTE: Deadline.>> Not later than 6 months after the date of
    the enactment of this section, the Secretary shall utilize a
    modification to the bid price adjustment methodology in the current
    managed care support contracts to ensure equitable and timely
    reimbursement to the TRICARE managed care support contractors for
    pharmaceutical products delivered in the nonmilitary environments. The
    methodology shall take into account the ``at-risk'' nature of the
    contracts as well as managed care support contractor pharmacy costs
    attributable to changes to pharmacy service or formulary management at
    military medical treatment facilities, and other military activities and
    policies that affect costs of pharmacy benefits provided through the
    Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services. The
    methodology shall also account for military treatment facility costs
    attributable to the delivery of pharmaceutical products in the military
    facility environment which were prescribed by a network provider.

        ``(e) Pharmacy <<NOTE: Deadline.>> Data Transaction Service.--Not
    later than April 1, 2000, the Secretary of Defense shall implement the
    use of the Pharmacy Data Transaction Service in all fixed facilities of
    the uniformed services under the jurisdiction of the Secretary, the
    TRICARE retail pharmacy program, and the national mail-order pharmacy
    program.

        ``(f) Definitions.--As used in this section--
                ``(1) the term `eligible covered beneficiary' means a
            covered beneficiary for whom eligibility to receive pharmacy
            benefits through the means described in subsection (a)(2)(E) is
            established under this chapter or another provision of law; and

    Committee.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of
    this Act, the Secretary shall establish the Pharmacy and Therapeutics
    Committee required by section 1074g(b) of title 10, United States Code.

            Secretary of prescribers for military medical treatment
            facilities and TRICARE contractors to determine--
                        (A) during the most recent fiscal year, how often
                    prescribers attempted to prescribe non-formulary or non-
                    preferred prescription drugs, how often such prescribers
                    were able to do so, and whether covered beneficiaries
                    were able to fill such prescriptions without undue
                    delay;
                        (B) the understanding by prescribers of the reasons
                    that military medical treatment facilities or civilian
                    contractors preferred certain pharmaceuticals to others;
                    and
                        (C) the impact of any restrictions on access to non-
                    formulary prescriptions on the clinical decisions of the
                    prescribers and the aggregate cost, quality, and

                            BENEFICIARIES.

        (a) Continuation of Care.--(1) The Secretary of Defense may, in any
    case in which the Secretary makes the determination described in
    paragraph (2), continue to provide payment under the Civilian Health and
    Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (as defined in section 1072 of
    title 10, United States Code), for domiciliary or custodial care
    services provided to an eligible beneficiary that would otherwise be
    excluded from coverage under regulations implementing section 1077(b)(1)
    of such title.
        (2) A determination under this paragraph is a determination that
    discontinuation of payment for domiciliary or custodial care services or
    transition to provision of care under the individual case management
    program authorized by section 1079(a)(17) of such title would be--
                (A) inadequate to meet the needs of the eligible
            beneficiary; and
                (B) unjust to such beneficiary.

        (3) As used in this section, the term ``eligible beneficiary'' means
    a covered beneficiary (as that term is defined in section 1072 of title
    10, United States Code) who, before the effective date of final
    regulations to implement the individual case management program
    authorized by section 1079(a)(17) of such title, were provided
    domiciliary or custodial care services for which the Secretary provided
    payment.
        (b) Prohibition on Establishment of Limited Transition Period.--The
    Secretary of Defense shall not place a time limit on the period during
    which the custodial care exclusions of the Department of Defense may be
    waived as part of the case management program of the Department.

    Secretary of Defense shall conduct a survey of federally funded and
    State funded programs for the medical care and management of persons
    whose care is considered to be custodial in nature. The survey shall
    examine, but shall not be limited to--
                (1) a comparison of the case management program of the
            Department of Defense with similar Federal and State programs;
            and
                (2) a comparison between the case management program of the
            Department of Defense and the case management and custodial care
            coverage offered by at least 10 of the most subscribed private
            health insurance plans in the Federal Employees Health Benefits
            Program (at least 5 of which shall be managed care
            organizations), as determined in consultation with the Office of
            Personnel Management.

    [[Page 113 STAT. 683]]

        (d) Report <<NOTE: Deadline.>> on Survey of Case Management and
    Custodial Care Policies.--Not later than March 31, 2000, the Secretary
    shall submit a report on the survey required by subsection (c) to
    Congress. The Secretary shall include in the report any recommendations
    for legislative changes that the Secretary determines necessary to
    facilitate the case management of the Department of Defense, and a plan
    for any regulatory changes determined necessary by the Secretary. Such
    plan shall include any regulatory provisions that the Secretary
    determines necessary to address equitably the unique needs of the family
    members of active duty military personnel and to ensure the full
    integration of the case management program of the Department of Defense
    with other available family support services activities.

    and other basic restorative services, surgical services, and emergency

            Defense on, and the complexity of, the health care service
            record;

            munitions under the National Military Strategy that the
            Department of Defense have the capability to conduct two nearly
            simultaneous Major Theater Wars, and with respect to some types
            of precision munitions, those requirements will not be met even
            after planned acquisitions are complete.
                (2) Production lines for certain types of critical precision
            munitions have been shut down, and the start-up production of
            replacement precision munitions leaves a critical gap in
            acquisition of follow-on precision munitions.
                (3) Shortages of conventional air-launched cruise missiles
            during Operation Allied Force (conducted against the Federal
            Republic of Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999) and the necessity
            to replenish inventories of land-attack Tomahawk cruise missiles
            following that operation indicate the critical need to maintain
            sufficient inventories of precision munitions.

        (b) Report.--Not <<NOTE: Deadline.>> later than February 15, 2000,
    the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense
    committees a report on the requirements of the Department of Defense for
    precision munitions under the National Military Strategy that the
    Department of Defense have the capability to conduct two nearly
    simultaneous Major Theater Wars. The report shall include the following:
                (1) The effect of recent conflicts on the shift to precision
            munitions of targets previously allocated to nonprecision
            munitions in the inventory requirements process.

    [[Page 113 STAT. 714]]

                (2) The required inventories of precision munitions, by
            type, including existing or planned munitions or such munitions
            with appropriate upgrades, to meet the requirement that the
            Department of Defense have the capability to conduct two nearly
            simultaneous Major Theater Wars.
                (3) Current inventories of those precision munitions.
                (4) The year when required inventories for each of those
            types of precision munitions will be achieved within the
            acquisition plans set forth in the budget of the President for
            fiscal year 2001.
                (5) The year those inventories would be achieved within
            existing or planned production capacity if produced at--
                        (A) the minimum sustained production rate;
                        (B) the most economic production rate; and
                        (C) the maximum production rate.
                (6) The required level of funding to support production for
            each of those types of munitions at each of the production rates
            specified in paragraph (5), compared to the funding programmed
            for each type of munition in the future-years defense program
            using the acquisition plans specified in paragraph (4).
                (7) With respect to each existing or planned munitions for
            which the inventory is not expected to meet the two Major
            Theater War requirement by October 1, 2005, the Secretary's

    Navy shall provide to Congress the Secretary's findings under subsection

            (or, if the contract is for services to be provided to, and
            funded by, another military department, the Secretary of that
            military department) will request funding for the contract at

                (1) At the meeting of the North Atlantic Council held in
            Washington, DC, in April 1999, the NATO Heads of State and
            Governments launched a Defense Capabilities Initiative.
                (2) The Defense Capabilities Initiative is designed to
            improve the defense capabilities of the individual nations of
            the NATO Alliance to ensure the effectiveness of future
            operations across the full spectrum of Alliance missions in the
            present and foreseeable security environment.
                (3) Under the Defense Capabilities Initiative, special focus
            will be given to improving interoperability among Alliance

    [[Page 113 STAT. 757]]

            forces and to increasing defense capabilities through
            improvements in the deployability and mobility of Alliance
            forces, the sustainability and logistics of those forces, the
            survivability and effective engagement capability of those
            forces, and command and control and information systems.
                (4) The successful implementation of the Defense
            Capabilities Initiative will serve to enable all members of the
            Alliance to make a more equitable contribution to the full
            spectrum of Alliance missions, thereby increasing burdensharing
            within the Alliance and enhancing the ability of European
            members of the Alliance to undertake operations pursuant to the
            European Security and Defense Identity within the Alliance.

                (1) The Cold War between the United States and its allies
            and the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its

            and freedom in the history of mankind.
                (2) Whether millions of people all over the world would live
            in freedom hinged on the outcome of the Cold War.
                (3) Democratic countries bore the burden of the struggle and
            paid the costs in order to preserve and promote democracy and
            freedom.
                (4) The Armed Forces and the taxpayers of the United States
            bore the greatest portion of that burden and struggle in order
            to protect those principles.
                (5) Tens of thousands of United States soldiers, sailors,
            airmen, Marines paid the ultimate price during the Cold War

    [[Page 113 STAT. 765]]

    SEC. 1212. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE NEED FOR VIGOROUS
                              PROSECUTION OF WAR CRIMES, GENOCIDE, AND
                              CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN THE FORMER
                              REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

    [[Page 113 STAT. 785]]

                (1) The United Nations Security Council created the
            International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (in
            this section referred to as the ``ICTY'') by resolution on May
            25, 1993.
                (2) Although the ICTY has indicted 89 people since its
            creation, those indictments have only resulted in the trial and
            conviction of 8 criminals.
                (3) The ICTY has jurisdiction to investigate grave breaches
            of the 1949 Geneva Conventions (Article 2), violations of the
            laws or customs of war (Article 3), genocide (Article 4), and
            crimes against humanity (Article 5).
                (4) The Chief Prosecutor of the ICTY, Justice Louise Arbour,
            stated on July 7, 1998, to the Contact Group for the former
            Yugoslavia, that ``[t]he Prosecutor believes that the nature and
            scale of the fighting indicate that an `armed conflict', within
            the meaning of international law, exists in Kosovo. As a
            consequence, she intends to bring charges for crimes against
            humanity or war crimes, if evidence of such crimes is
            established''.
                (5) Reports from Kosovar Albanian refugees provide detailed
            accounts of systematic efforts to displace the entire Muslim
            population of Kosovo.
                (6) In furtherance of this plan, Serbian troops, police, and
            paramilitary forces have engaged in detention and summary
            execution of men of all ages, wanton destruction of civilian
            housing, forcible expulsions, mass executions in at least 60
            villages and towns, as well as widespread rape of women and
            young girls.
                (7) These reports of atrocities provide prima facie evidence
            of war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as possible
            genocide.
                (8) Any criminal investigation is best served by the
            depositions and interviews of witnesses as soon after the
            commission of the crime as possible.
                (9) The indictment, arrest, and trial of war criminals would
            provide a significant deterrent to further atrocities.
                (10) The ICTY has issued 14 international warrants for war
            crimes suspects that have yet to be served, despite knowledge of
            the suspects' whereabouts.
                (11) Vigorous prosecution of war crimes after the conflict
            in Bosnia may have prevented the ongoing atrocities in Kosovo.
                (12) Investigative reporters have identified specific
            documentary evidence implicating the Serbian leadership in the
            commission of war crimes.
                (13) NATO forces and forensic teams deployed in Kosovo have
            uncovered physical evidence of war crimes, including mass
            graves.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the United States, in coordination with other United
            Nations member states, should provide sufficient resources for
            an expeditious and thorough investigation of allegations of the
            atrocities and war crimes committed in Kosovo;
                (2) the United States, through its intelligence services,
            should provide all possible cooperation in the gathering of
            evidence of sufficient specificity and credibility to secure the
            indictment of those responsible for the commission of war
            crimes,

    [[Page 113 STAT. 786]]

            crimes against humanity, and genocide in the former Yugoslavia;
                (3) where evidence warrants, indictments for war crimes,
            crimes against humanity, and genocide should be issued against
            suspects regardless of their position within the Serbian
            leadership;
                (4) the United States and all nations have an obligation to
            honor arrest warrants issued by the ICTY and should use all
            appropriate means to apprehend and bring to justice through the
            ICTY individuals who are already under indictment;
                (5) any final settlement regarding Kosovo should not bar the
            indictment, apprehension, or prosecution of persons accused of
            war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide committed
            during operations in Kosovo; and
                (6) President Slobodan Milosevic should be held accountable
            for his actions while President of the Federal Republic of
            Yugoslavia or President of the Republic of Serbia in initiating
            four armed conflicts and taking actions leading to the deaths of
            tens of thousands of people and responsibility for murder, rape,
            terrorism, destruction, and ethnic cleansing.

                (3) The missions currently being conducted by the armed
            forces of the anticipated allies and the ability of the allied

                (4) Any Department of Defense assumptions about the ability
            of allied armed forces to deploy or redeploy from their current
            missions in the event of a major theater war, including any role

            sustaining such a deployment or redeployment.
                (5) Any Department of Defense assumptions about the combat

    SEC. 1234. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE CONTINUATION OF
                              SANCTIONS AGAINST LIBYA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) <<NOTE: Pan American Flight 103.>> On December 21, 1988,
            270 people, including 189 United States citizens, were killed in
            a terrorist bombing on Pan American Flight 103 over Lockerbie,
            Scotland.
                (2) <<NOTE: Abd al-Baset Ali al-Megrahi. Al-Amin Khalifah
            Fhimah.>> The United Kingdom and the United States indicted two
            Libyan intelligence agents, Abd al-Baset Ali al-Megrahi and Al-
            Amin Khalifah Fhimah, in 1991 and sought their extradition from
            Libya to the United States or the United Kingdom to stand trial
            for this heinous terrorist act.
                (3) <<NOTE: Muammar Qadhafi.>> The United Nations Security
            Council called for the extradition of those suspects in Security
            Council Resolution 731 and imposed sanctions on Libya in
            Security Council Resolutions 748 and 883 because Libyan leader
            Colonel Muammar Qadhafi refused to transfer the suspects to
            either the United States or the United Kingdom to stand trial.
                (4) United Nations Security Council Resolutions 731, 748,
            and 883 demand that Libya cease all support for terrorism, turn
            over the two suspects, cooperate with the investigation and the
            trial, and address the issue of appropriate compensation.
                (5) The sanctions in United Nations Security Council
            Resolutions 748 and 883 include--
                        (A) a worldwide ban on Libya's national airline;
                        (B) a ban on flights into and out of Libya by other
                    nations' airlines; and
                        (C) a prohibition on supplying arms, airplane parts,
                    and certain oil equipment to Libya, and a blocking of
                    Libyan Government funds in other countries.
                (6) Colonel Muammar Qadhafi for many years refused to
            extradite the suspects to either the United States or the United
            Kingdom and had insisted that he would only transfer the
            suspects to a third and neutral country to stand trial.
                (7) On August 24, 1998, the United States and the United
            Kingdom agreed to the proposal that Colonel Qadhafi transfer the
            suspects to The Netherlands, where they would stand trial under
            a Scottish court, under Scottish law, and with a panel of
            Scottish judges.

    [[Page 113 STAT. 790]]

                (8) The United Nations Security Council endorsed the United
            States-United Kingdom proposal on August 27, 1998 in United
            Nations Security Council Resolution 1192.
                (9) The United States, consistent with United Nations
            Security Council resolutions, called on Libya to ensure the
            production of evidence, including the presence of witnesses
            before the court, and to comply fully with all the requirements
            of the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
                (10) After years of intensive diplomacy, Colonel Qadhafi
            finally transferred the two Libyan suspects to The Netherlands
            on April 5, 1999, and the United Nations Security Council, in
            turn, suspended its sanctions against Libya that same day.
                (11) Libya has only fulfilled one of four conditions (the
            transfer of the two suspects accused in the Lockerbie bombing)
            set forth in United Nations Security Council Resolutions 731,
            748, and 883 that would justify the lifting of United Nations
            Security Council sanctions against Libya.
                (12) Libya has not fulfilled the other three conditions
            (cooperation with the Lockerbie investigation and trial,
            renunciation of and ending support for terrorism, and payment of
            appropriate compensation) necessary to lift the United Nations
            Security Council sanctions.
                (13) The United Nations Secretary General issued a report to
            the Security Council on June 30, 1999, on the issue of Libya's
            compliance with the remaining conditions.
                (14) Any member of the United Nations Security Council has
            the right to introduce a resolution to lift the sanctions
            against Libya now that the United Nations Secretary General's
            report has been issued.
                (15) The United States Government considers Libya a state
            sponsor of terrorism and the State Department Report, ``Patterns
            of Global Terrorism; 1998'', stated that Colonel Qadhafi
            ``continued publicly and privately to support Palestinian
            terrorist groups, including the PIJ and the PFLP-GC''.
                (16) United States Government sanctions (other than
            sanctions on food or medicine) should be maintained on Libya,
            and in accordance with United States law, the Secretary of State
            should keep Libya on the list of countries the governments of
            which have repeatedly provided support for acts of international
            terrorism under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of
            1979 in light of Libya's ongoing support for terrorist groups.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    President should use all diplomatic means necessary, including the use
    of the United States veto at the United Nations Security Council, to
    prevent the Security Council from lifting sanctions against Libya until
    Libya fulfills all of the conditions set forth in United Nations
    Security Council Resolutions 731, 748, and 883.
    SEC. 1235. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON DISENGAGING FROM
                              NONCRITICAL OVERSEAS MISSIONS INVOLVING
                              UNITED STATES COMBAT FORCES.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) It is the National Security Strategy of the United
            States to ``deter and defeat large-scale, cross-border
            aggression in two distant theaters in overlapping time frames''.

    [[Page 113 STAT. 791]]

                (2) The deterrence of Iraq and Iran in Southwest Asia and
            the deterrence of North Korea in Northeast Asia represent two
            such potential large-scale, cross-border theater requirements.
                (3) The United States has 120,000 military personnel
            permanently assigned to the Southwest Asia and Northeast Asia
            theaters.
                (4) The United States has an additional 70,000 military
            personnel assigned to non-NATO/non-Pacific threat foreign
            countries.
                (5) The United States has more than 6,000 military personnel
            in Bosnia-Herzegovina on indefinite assignment.
                (6) The United States has diverted permanently assigned
            resources from other theaters to support operations in the
            Balkans.
                (7) The United States provides military forces to seven
            active United Nations peacekeeping operations, including some
            missions that have continued for decades.
                (8) Between 1986 and 1998, the number of United States
            military deployments per year has nearly tripled at the same
            time the Department of Defense budget has been reduced in real
            terms by 38 percent.
                (9) The Army has 10 active-duty divisions today, down from
            18 in 1991, while on an average day in fiscal year 1998, 28,000
            United States Army soldiers were deployed to more than 70
            countries for over 300 separate missions.
                (10) The number of fighter wings in the active component of
            the Air Force has gone from 22 to 13 since 1991, while 70
            percent of air sorties in Operation Allied Force over the
            Balkans were United States-flown and the Air Force continues to
            enforce northern and southern no-fly zones in Iraq. In response,
            the Air Force has initiated a ``stop loss'' program to block
            normal retirements and separations.
                (11) The Navy has been reduced in size to 339 ships, its
            lowest level since 1938, necessitating the redeployment of the
            only overseas homeported aircraft carrier from the western
            Pacific to the Mediterranean to support Operation Allied Force.
                (12) In 1998, just 10 percent of eligible carrier naval
            aviators (27 out of 261) accepted continuation bonuses and
            remained in the service.
                (13) In 1998, 48 percent of Air Force pilots eligible for
            continuation chose to leave the service.
                (14) The Army could fall 6,000 below congressionally
            authorized strength levels by the end of 1999.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the readiness of United States military forces to
            execute the National Security Strategy of the United States
            referred to in subsection (a)(1) is being eroded by a
            combination of declining defense budgets and expanded missions;
            and
                (2) there may be missions to which the United States is
            contributing Armed Forces from which the United States can begin
            disengaging.

        (c) Report <<NOTE: President. Deadline.>> Requirement.--Not later
    than March 1, 2000, the President shall submit to the Committee on Armed
    Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the
    Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the
    House of Representatives a report prioritizing the ongoing global

    [[Page 113 STAT. 792]]

    missions to which the United States is contributing forces. The
    President shall include in the report a feasibility analysis of how the
    United States can--
                (1) shift resources from low priority missions in support of
            higher priority missions;
                (2) consolidate or reduce United States troop commitments
            worldwide; and
                (3) end low priority missions.

                ``(D) 50 Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missiles.

        ``(2) The limitation in paragraph (1)(B) shall be modified in
    accordance with paragraph (3) upon a certification by the President to
    Congress of the following:
                ``(A) That the effectiveness of the United States strategic
            deterrent will not be decreased by reductions in strategic
            nuclear delivery systems.
                ``(B) That the requirements of the Single Integrated
            Operational Plan can be met with a reduced number of strategic
            nuclear delivery systems.
                ``(C) That reducing the number of strategic nuclear delivery
            systems will not, in the judgment of the President, provide a
            disincentive for Russia to ratify the START II treaty or serve
            to undermine future arms control negotiations.
                ``(D) That the United States will retain the ability to
            increase the delivery capacity of its strategic nuclear delivery
            systems should threats arise that require more substantial
            United States strategic forces.

    paragraph (2), then the applicable number in effect under paragraph
    (1)(B)--
                ``(A) shall be 16 during the period beginning on the date on
            which such certification is transmitted to Congress and ending
            on the date specified in subparagraph (B); and
                ``(B) shall be 14 effective as of the date that is 240 days
            after the date on which such certification is transmitted.

        ``(b) Waiver Authority.--If the START II treaty enters into force,
    the President may waive the application of the limitation in effect
    under paragraph (1)(B) or (3) of subsection (a), as the case may be, to
    the extent that the President determines such a waiver to be necessary
    in order to implement the treaty.''.
        (b) Conforming Amendments.--Such section is further amended--
                (1) in subsection (c)(2), by striking ``during the strategic
            delivery systems retirement limitation period'' and inserting
            ``during the fiscal year during which the START II Treaty enters
            into force''; and
                (2) by striking subsection (g).
    SEC. 1502. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON STRATEGIC ARMS REDUCTIONS.

        It is the sense of Congress that, in negotiating a START III Treaty
    with the Russian Federation, or any other arms control

    [[Page 113 STAT. 807]]

    treaty with the Russian Federation that would require reductions in
    United States strategic nuclear forces, that--

            programs of the People's Republic of China and every other
            nation possessing nuclear weapons should be taken into full
            consideration in the negotiation of such treaty; and
                (2) the reductions in United States strategic nuclear forces
            under such a treaty should not be to such an extent as to impede
            the capability of the United States to respond militarily to any
            militarily significant increase in the threat to United States
            security or strategic stability posed by the People's Republic
            of China and any other nation.

            the effect of these capabilities on strategic stability,
            including their ability and inclination to use nuclear weapons
            against the United States in a possible future crisis.
                (6) The Secretary's assessment of whether asymmetries
            between the United States and Russia, including doctrine,
            nonstrategic nuclear weapons, and active and passive defenses,
            are likely to erode strategic stability in the foreseeable
            future.

    [[Page 113 STAT. 808]]

                (7) Any other matters the Secretary believes are important

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the United States should demand full and complete
            cooperation from the Government of the Russian Federation on
            preventing the illegal transfer from Russia to Iran or any other
            country of any prohibited fissile material or ballistic missile
            equipment or any technology necessary for the acquisition or
            development by the recipient country of any nuclear weapon or
            ballistic missile;
                (2) the United States should take every appropriate measure
            necessary to encourage the Government of the Russian Federation
            to seek out and prevent the illegal transfer from Russia to Iran
            or any other country of any prohibited fissile material or
            ballistic missile equipment or any technology necessary for the
            acquisition or development by the recipient country of any
            nuclear weapon or ballistic missile;
                (3) the United States Government decision to increase the
            quantitative limitations applicable to commercial space launch
            services provided by Russian space launch providers, based upon
            a serious commitment by the Government of the Russian Federation
            to seek out and prevent the illegal transfer from

    [[Page 113 STAT. 813]]

            Russia to Iran or any other country of any prohibited ballistic
            missile equipment or any technology necessary for the
            acquisition or development by the recipient country of any
            ballistic missile, should facilitate greater cooperation between
            the United States and the Russian Federation on nonproliferation
            matters; and
                (4) any possible future consideration of modifying such
            limitations should be conditioned on a continued serious
            commitment by the Government of the Russian Federation to
            preventing such illegal transfers.
    SEC. 1612. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING UNITED STATES COMMERCIAL
                              SPACE LAUNCH CAPACITY.

        (a) Sense of Congress Concerning United States Commercial Space
    Launch Capacity.--It is the sense of Congress that Congress and the
    President should work together to stimulate and encourage the expansion
    of a commercial space launch capacity in the United States, including by
    taking actions to eliminate legal or regulatory barriers to long-term
    competitiveness of the United States commercial space launch industry.
        (b) Sense of Congress Concerning Policy of Permitting Export of
    Commercial Satellites to People's Republic of China for Launch.--It is
    the sense of Congress that Congress and the President should--
                (1) reexamine the current United States policy of permitting
            the export of commercial satellites of United States origin to
            the People's Republic of China for launch;
                (2) review the advantages and disadvantages of phasing out
            that policy, including in that review advantages and
            disadvantages identified by Congress, the executive branch, the
            United States satellite industry, the United States space launch
            industry, the United States telecommunications industry, and
            other interested persons; and
                (3) if the phase out of that policy is adopted, permit the
            export of a commercial satellite of United States origin for
            launch in the People's Republic of China only if--
                        (A) the launch is licensed as of the commencement of
                    the phase out of that policy; and
                        (B) additional actions under section 1514 of the
                    Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for
                    Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105-261; 112 Stat. 2175; 22
                    U.S.C. 2778 note) are taken to minimize the transfer of
                    technology to the People's Republic of China during the
                    course of the launch.

            the National Assessment Governing Board) who speak English as a
            second language.
                (C) The school has a large percentage of students (as so
            determined) who are at risk of educational failure by reason of
            limited proficiency in English, poverty, race, geographic
            location, or economic circumstances.
                (D) At least one-half of the students of the school are from
            families with an income below the poverty line (as that term is
            defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised
            annually in accordance with section 673(2) of the Community
            Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9902(2)) applicable to a

    1070 et seq.).

    [[Page 113 STAT. 822]]

        (d) Reimbursement Under Certain Circumstances.--(1) If a participant
    in the Troops-to-Teachers Program fails to obtain teacher certification
    or licensure or employment as an elementary or secondary school teacher
    or vocational or technical teacher as required by the agreement under
    section 1704(e) or voluntarily leaves, or is terminated for cause, from
    the employment during the four years of required service in violation of
    the agreement, the participant shall be required to reimburse the
    administering Secretary for any stipend paid to the participant under
    subsection (a) in an amount that bears the same ratio to the amount of
    the stipend as the unserved portion of required service bears to the
    four years of required service.
        (2) If a participant in the Troops-to-Teachers Program who is paid a
    bonus under subsection (b) fails to obtain employment for which the

    that bears the same ratio to the amount of the bonus as the unserved
    portion of required service bears to the four years of required service.
        (3) The obligation to reimburse the administering Secretary under
    this subsection is, for all purposes, a debt owing the United States. A
    discharge in bankruptcy under title 11, United States Code, shall not
    release a participant from the obligation to reimburse the administering
    Secretary.
        (4) Any amount owed by a participant under this subsection shall
    bear interest at the rate equal to the highest rate being paid by the
    United States on the day on which the reimbursement is determined to be
    due for securities having maturities of ninety days or less and shall
    accrue from the day on which the participant is first notified of the
    amount due.
        (e) Exceptions to Reimbursement Requirement.--A participant in the

    administering Secretary may also waive reimbursement in cases of extreme
    hardship to the participant, as determined by the administering
    Secretary.
        (f) Relationship to Educational Assistance Under Montgomery GI
    Bill.--The receipt by a participant in the Troops-to-Teachers Program of
    any assistance under the program shall not reduce or otherwise affect
    the entitlement of the participant to any benefits under chapter 30 of
    title 38, United States Code, or chapter 1606 of title 10, United States
    Code.

            purposes in accordance with the integrated natural resource
            management plan for such lands under paragraph (3), and that

            are not being corrected, and that significant and verifiable
            degradation of the natural or cultural resources of the lands
            concerned is continuing, the Secretary of the Interior may, not
            earlier than 90 days after the date on which the Secretary of
            the Interior submits to the committees referred to in section
            3032(d)(3) notice and a report on the determination, transfer

            management responsibility back to the Secretary of the Navy or
            the Secretary of the Air Force if the Secretary of the Interior
            determines that adequate procedures and plans have been
            established to ensure that the lands concerned will be
            adequately managed by the Secretary of the Navy or the Secretary
            of the Air Force, as the case may be, in accordance with the
            integrated natural resources management plan for such lands

            lands for military purposes, and the Secretary of the Navy or
            the Secretary of the Air Force, as the case may be, shall
            continue to direct military activities on such lands.
                (8) Payment for services.--The Secretary of the Navy and the

                    lands withdrawn and reserved by this section before all
                    necessary response actions under this section have been
                    completed, the Secretary of the Interior shall consult
                    with the Secretary of the Navy or the Secretary of the
                    Air Force, as the case may be, before undertaking or
                    authorizing any activities on such lands that may affect
                    existing releases, interfere with the installation,
                    maintenance, or operation of any response action, or
                    expose any person to a safety or health risk associated
                    with either the releases or the response action being
                    undertaken.
                (3) Responsibility and liability.--(A) The Secretary of the
            Navy and the Secretary of the Air Force, and not the Secretary
            of the Interior, shall be responsible for and conduct the
            necessary remediation of all releases or substantial threats of
            release, whether located on or emanating from lands withdrawn
            and reserved by this section, and whether known at the time of
            relinquishment or termination or subsequently discovered,
            attributable to management of the lands withdrawn and reserved
            by this section by the Secretary of the Navy or the Secretary of
            the Air Force, as the case may be, or the use, management,
            storage, release, treatment, or disposal of hazardous materials,
            hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, pollutants,
            contaminants, petroleum products and their derivatives, military
            munitions, or other constituents on such lands by the Secretary
            of the Navy or the Secretary of the Air Force, as the case may
            be.
                (B) Responsibility under subparagraph (A) shall include
            liability for any costs or claims asserted against the United
            States for activities referred to in that subparagraph.

    [[Page 113 STAT. 907]]

                (C) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to prevent the
            United States from bringing a cost recovery, contribution, or
            other action against third persons or parties the Secretary of
            the Navy or the Secretary of the Air Force reasonably believes
            may have contributed to a release or substantial threat of
            release.
                (4) Other federal agencies.--If the Secretary of the Navy or
            the Secretary of the Air Force delegates responsibility or
            jurisdiction to another Federal agency over, or permits another
            Federal agency to operate on, lands withdrawn and reserved by
            this section, the agency shall assume all responsibility and
            liability described in paragraph (3) for their activities with

            of the Air Force that all necessary environmental response
            actions under this section have been taken, the Secretary of the

    SEC. 3032. MILITARY USE OF CABEZA PRIETA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE
                              AND CABEZA PRIETA WILDERNESS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The historic use of the areas designated as the Cabeza
            Prieta National Wildlife Refuge and the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness
            by the Marine Corps and the Air Force has been integral to the
            effective operation of the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range.
                (2) Continued use of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife
            Refuge and Cabeza Prieta Wilderness by the Marine Corps and the
            Air Force to support military aviation training will remain
            necessary to ensure the readiness of the Armed Forces.
                (3) The historic use of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife
            Refuge and Cabeza Prieta Wilderness by the Marine Corps and the
            Air Force has coexisted for many years with the wildlife
            conservation and wilderness purposes for which the refuge and
            wilderness were established.
                (4) The designation of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife
            Refuge and the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness recognizes the area as
            one of our nation's most ecologically and culturally valuable
            areas.

        (b) Management and Use of Refuge and Wilderness.--
                (1) In general.--The Secretary of the Interior, in
            coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of
            the Air Force, shall manage the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife
            Refuge and Cabeza Prieta Wilderness--
                        (A) for the purposes for which the refuge and
                    wilderness were established; and
                        (B) to support current and future military aviation
                    training needs consistent with the November 21, 1994,
                    memorandum of understanding among the Department of the
                    Interior, the Department of the Navy, and the Department
                    of the Air Force, including any extension or other
                    amendment of such memorandum of understanding under this
                    section.
                (2) Construction.--Except as otherwise provided in this
            section, nothing in this subtitle shall be construed to effect
            the following:

                        (B) Any Executive order or public land order in
                    effect on the date of the enactment of this Act with

        (d) Other Amendments of Memorandum of Understanding.--
                (1) Amendments to meet military aviation training needs.--
            (A) When determined by the Secretary of the Navy or the
            Secretary of the Air Force to be essential to support military

            the Air Force, and the Secretary of the Interior shall negotiate
            amendments to the memorandum of understanding referred to in
            subsection (b)(1)(B) in order--
                        (i) to revise existing or establish new low-level
                    training routes or to otherwise accommodate low-level
                    overflight;
                        (ii) to establish new or enlarged areas closed to
                    public use as surface safety zones; or
                        (iii) to accommodate the maintenance, upgrade,
                    replacement, or installation of existing or new
                    associated ground instrumentation.
                (B) Any amendment of the memorandum of understanding shall
            be consistent with the responsibilities under law of the
            Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Air Force, and the
            Secretary of the Interior, respectively.
                (C) As provided by the existing provisions of the National

            revise existing or establish new low-level training routes or to
            otherwise accommodate low-level overflight are not subject to
