defense acquisition program or subprogram in a fiscal year is
the difference between the current program acquisition unit cost
for the program or subprogram and the program acquisition unit
cost for the program as shown in the original Baseline Estimate
for the program or subprogram, multiplied by the quantity of
items to be purchased under the program or subprogram, as
reported in the final Selected Acquisition
[[Page 911]]
Report for the fiscal year in accordance with section 2432 of
title 10, United States Code.
(2) Cost overruns or underruns for covered major defense
acquisition programs that are joint programs of more than one
military department shall be allocated among the military
departments in percentages determined by the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
(3) The cumulative amount of cost overruns for a military
department in a fiscal year is the sum of the cost overruns and
cost underruns for all covered major defense acquisition
programs of the department in the fiscal year (including cost
overruns or underruns allocated to the military department in
accordance with paragraph (2)).
(4) The cost overrun penalty for a military department in a

SEC. 894. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EVALUATION METHOD FOR PROCUREMENT
OF AUDIT OR AUDIT READINESS SERVICES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Given the size, scope, and complexity of the Department
of Defense, the statutory deadline to establish and maintain
auditable financial statements, starting with the fiscal year
2018 financial statement, is one of the more challenging
management tasks that has ever faced the Department.
(2) As the military services have never received a clean
opinion on their consolidated financial statements and only
recently begun auditing portions of their financial statements,
the audits of military service financial statements will also
[[Page 954]]
be a complex challenge for companies selected to provide audit
services.
(3) The acquisition of services by the Department abides by
many rules and parameters, one of which is the lowest price,
technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. LPTA is
generally appropriate for commercial or noncomplex services or
supplies where the requirement is clearly definable and the risk
of unsuccessful contract performance is minimal.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, before
using the lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation method for the
procurement of audit or audit readiness services, the Secretary of
Defense should establish the values and metrics for evaluating companies
offering audit services, including financial management and audit
expertise and experience, personnel qualifications and certifications,
past performance, technology, tools, and size.
SEC. 895. <> MITIGATING POTENTIAL UNFAIR
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF TECHNICAL
ADVISORS TO ACQUISITION PROGRAMS.

estimate industry's cost of regulatory compliance (as a percentage of
total costs) with Government-unique acquisition regulations and
requirements in the categories of quality assurance, accounting and
financial management, contracting and purchasing, program management,
engineering, logistics, material management, property administration,
and other unique requirements not imposed on contracts for commercial
items.
(b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional
defense committees a report on the findings of the survey conducted
under subsection (a). The data received as a result of the survey and
included in the report shall be aggregated to protect against the public
release of proprietary information.
SEC. 897. <> TREATMENT OF INTERAGENCY AND

CONTRACT ACTIONS UNDER THE TRUTH IN
NEGOTIATIONS ACT.
(a) Pilot Program Authorized.--The Secretary of Defense may conduct
a pilot program to demonstrate the efficacy of using risk-based
techniques in requiring submission of data on a sampling basis for

known as the ``Truth in Negotiations Act'').
(b) Increase in Thresholds.--For purposes of a pilot program under
subsection (a), $5,000,000 shall be the threshold applicable to
requirements under paragraph (1) of section 2306a(a) of such title, as
follows:
(1) The requirement under subparagraph (A) of such paragraph
to submit cost or pricing data for a prime contract entered into
during the pilot program period.
(2) The requirement under subparagraph (B) of such paragraph
to submit cost or pricing data for the change or modification to
a prime contract made during the pilot program period.

contract or subcontract; or
(B) requires the submission of such data in
accordance with a risk-based contracting approach
established pursuant to paragraph (3).
(2) Written determination required.--In any case in which
the head of the procuring activity requires certified cost or
pricing data to be submitted under paragraph (1)(A), the head of
the procuring activity shall justify in writing the reason for
such requirement.
(3) Risk-based contracting.--The head of an agency shall
establish a risk-based sampling approach under which the
submission of certified cost or pricing data may be required for
a risk-based sample of contracts, the price of which is expected
to exceed $750,000 but not $5,000,000. The authority to require
certified cost or pricing data under this paragraph shall not
apply to any contract of an offeror that has not
[[Page 956]]
been awarded, for at least the one-year period preceding the
issuance of a solicitation for the contract, any other contract
in excess of $5,000,000 under which the offeror was required to
submit certified cost or pricing data under section 2306a of
title 10, United States Code.
(4) Exception.--The head of the procuring activity may not
require certified cost or pricing data to be submitted under
this subsection for any contract or subcontract, or modification
of a contract or subcontract, covered by the exceptions in
subparagraph (A) or (B) of section 2306a(b)(1) of title 10,
United States Code.

means the period beginning on October 1, 2016, and ending on
September 30, 2019.
TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
Sec. 901. Update of statutory specification of functions of the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff relating to joint force
development activities.
Sec. 902. Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps.
SEC. 901. UPDATE OF STATUTORY SPECIFICATION OF FUNCTIONS OF THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
RELATING TO JOINT FORCE DEVELOPMENT
ACTIVITIES.
Section 153(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
``(F) Advising the Secretary on development of joint
command, control, communications, and cyber capability,
including integration and interoperability of such capability,
through requirements, integrated architectures, data standards,
and assessments.''.
SEC. 902. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) As senior United States statesman Dr. Henry Kissinger
wrote in testimony submitted to the Committee on Armed Services
of the Senate on January 29, 2015, ``The United States has not
faced a more diverse and complex array of crises since the end
of the Second World War.''.
(2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer competitors
has introduced destabilizing pressures around the globe.
(3) Advances in information and weapons technology have
reduced the time available for the United States to prepare
[[Page 957]]
for and respond to crises against both known and unknown
threats.
(4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be
overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy, ``A Cooperative
Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: Forward, Engaged, Ready'':
``Oceans are the lifeblood of the interconnected global
community. . . 90 percent of trade by volume travels across the
oceans. Approximately 70 percent of the world's population lives
within 100 miles of the coastline.''.
(5) The United States must be prepared to rapidly respond to
crises around the world regardless of the nation's fiscal
health.
(6) In this global security environment, it is critical that
the nation possess a maritime force whose mission and ethos is
readiness--a fight tonight force, forward deployed, that can
respond immediately to emergent crises across the full range of
military operations around the globe either from the sea or home
station.
(7) The need for such a force was recognized by the 82nd
Congress during the Korean War, when it mandated a core mission
for the nation's leanest force--the Marine Corps--to be most
ready when the nation is least ready.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy,
remain the Nation's expeditionary, crisis response force;
(2) the need for such a force with such a capability has
never been greater; and
(3) accordingly, in recognition of this need and the wisdom
of the 82nd Congress, the 114th Congress reaffirms section 5063
of title 10, United States Code, which states that the Marine
Corps--
(A) shall--
(i) be organized to include not less than
three combat divisions and three air wings, and
such other land combat, aviation, and other
services as may be organic therein;
(ii) be organized, trained, and equipped to
provide fleet marine forces of combined arms,
together with supporting air components, for
service with the fleet in the seizure or defense
of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of
such land operations as may be essential to the
prosecution of a naval campaign; and
(iii) provide detachments and organizations
for service on armed vessels of the Navy, provide
security detachments for the protection of naval
property at naval stations and bases, and perform
such other duties as the President may direct;
but these additional duties may not detract from nor
interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps
is primarily organized;
(B) shall develop, in coordination with the Army and
the Air Force, those phases of amphibious operations
that pertain to the tactics, techniques, and equipment
used by landing forces; and
(C) is responsible, in accordance with the
integrated joint mobilization plans, for the expansion
of peacetime
[[Page 958]]
components of the Marine Corps to meet the needs of war.

the Secretary may transfer amounts of authorizations made
available to the Department of Defense in this division for
fiscal year 2016 between any such authorizations for that fiscal
year (or any subdivisions thereof). Amounts of authorizations so
transferred shall be merged with and be available for the same
purposes as the authorization to which transferred.

under the authority of this section may not exceed

have a higher priority than the items from which authority is
transferred; and

has been denied authorization by Congress.
(c) Effect on Authorization Amounts.--A transfer made from one
account to another under the authority of this section shall be deemed

transferred by an amount equal to the amount transferred.

inadequate budgeting tool to address the deficits and debt of
the Federal Government;

(Public Law 112-25) impose unacceptable limitations on the
budget and increase risk to the national security of the United
States; and

legislative agreement.

have a direct impact on the stability and security of the United
States.
[[Page 964]]
(2) Over the past decade, increased stability and security
in the Republic of Colombia has displaced illicit trafficking to
Central America, bringing with it increased violence and
instability.
(3) According to the Global Study on Homicide 2013 of the
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, four of the top five
countries with the highest homicide rates in the world were
Central American nations, including Honduras, Belize, El
Salvador, and Guatemala.
(4) In 2014, approximately 65,000 unaccompanied alien
children from Central America entered the United States through
its southwest border.
(5) In November 2014, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador
announced a Plan for the Alliance for Prosperity of the Northern
Triangle, which is a comprehensive approach to address the
ongoing violence and instability facing these three nations by
stimulating economic opportunities, improving public safety and
rule of law, and strengthening institutions to increase trust in
the state.
(6) The United States Government is supportive of the
Alliance for Prosperity, and President's strategy for support
includes $1,000,000,000 focused on promoting prosperity and
regional economic integration, enhancing security, and promoting
improved governance.

capacity of our partners in the region to address their security
challenges and confront threats of mutual concern.

prioritize efforts to address the threatening levels of
violence, instability, illicit trafficking, and transnational
organized crime that challenge the sovereignty of Central
American nations and the security of the United States; and
(2) in order to address such issues, the Department of
Defense, to the extent practicable, should--
(A) increase its operations, as the lead agency of
the United States Government, to detect and monitor
aerial and maritime illicit trafficking into the United
States;
(B) increase its efforts to support aerial and
maritime illicit trafficking interdiction operations;
(C) increase its operations to build the capacity of
partner nations in Central America to confront their own
security challenges;
(D) support interagency programs and activities in

appropriate to achieve those goals, the Administrator should
conduct competition of such contracts while recognizing the
unique nature of federally funded research and development
centers; and
(4) the Administrator should ensure that fixed fees and
performance-based fees contained in management and operating
contracts are as low as possible to maintain a focus on national
service while attracting high-quality contractors and achieving
the goals of the competition.
