SEC. 335. REPORT ON EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Secretary of Defense James Mattis has stated: ``It is
appropriate for the Combatant Commands to incorporate drivers of
instability that impact the security environment in their areas
into their planning.''.
(2) Secretary of Defense James Mattis has stated: ``I agree
that the effects of a changing climate -- such as increased
maritime access to the Arctic, rising sea levels,
desertification, among others -- impact our security
situation.''.
(3) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford has
stated: ``It's a question, once again, of being forward
deployed, forward engaged, and be in a position to respond to
the kinds of natural disasters that I think we see as a second
or third order effect of climate change.''.
(4) Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has stated:
``Over the next 20 years and more, certain pressures-population,
energy, climate, economic, environmental-could combine with
rapid cultural, social, and technological change to produce new
sources of deprivation, rage, and instability.''.
(5) Former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Gordon Sullivan
has stated: ``Climate change is a national security issue. We
found that climate instability will lead to instability in
geopolitics and impact American military operations around the
world.''.
(6) The Office of the Director of National Intelligence
(ODNI) has stated: ``Many countries will encounter climate-
induced disruptions--such as weather-related disasters, drought,
famine, or damage to infrastructure--that stress their capacity
to respond, cope with, or adapt. Climate-related impacts will
also contribute to increased migration, which can

[[Page 1358]]

be particularly disruptive if, for example, demand for food and
shelter outstrips the resources available to assist those in
need.''.
(7) The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has stated:
``DOD links changes in precipitation patterns with potential
climate change impacts such as changes in the number of
consecutive days of high or low precipitation as well as
increases in the extent and duration of droughts, with an
associated increase in the risk of wildfire. . . this may result
in mission vulnerabilities such as reduced live-fire training
due to drought and increased wildfire risk.''.
(8) A three-foot rise in sea levels will threaten the
operations of more than 128 United States military sites, and it
is possible that many of these at-risk bases could be submerged
in the coming years.
(9) As global temperatures rise, droughts and famines can
lead to more failed states, which are breeding grounds of
extremist and terrorist organizations.
(10) In the Marshall Islands, an Air Force radar
installation built on an atoll at a cost of $1,000,000,000 is
projected to be underwater within two decades.
(11) In the western United States, drought has amplified the
threat of wildfires, and floods have damaged roads, runways, and
buildings on military bases.
(12) In the Arctic, the combination of melting sea ice,
thawing permafrost, and sea-level rise is eroding shorelines,
which is damaging radar and communication installations,
runways, seawalls, and training areas.
(13) In the Yukon Training Area, units conducting artillery
training accidentally started a wildfire despite observing the
necessary practices during red flag warning conditions.

(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) climate change is a direct threat to the national
security of the United States and is impacting stability in
areas of the world both where the United States Armed Forces are
operating today, and where strategic implications for future
conflict exist;
(2) there are complexities in quantifying the cost of
climate change on mission resiliency, but the Department of
Defense must ensure that it is prepared to conduct operations
both today and in the future and that it is prepared to address
the effects of a changing climate on threat assessments,
resources, and readiness; and
(3) military installations must be able to effectively
prepare to mitigate climate damage in their master planning and
infrastructure planning and design, so that they might best
consider the weather and natural resources most pertinent to
them.

(c) Report.--
(1) Report required.--Not later than one year after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the
House of Representatives a report on vulnerabilities to military
installations and combatant commander requirements resulting
from climate change over the next 20 years.
(2) Elements.--The report on vulnerabilities to military
installations and combatant commander requirements required by
paragraph (1) shall include the following:

[[Page 1359]]

(A) A list of the ten most vulnerable military
installations within each service based on the effects
of rising sea tides, increased flooding, drought,
desertification, wildfires, thawing permafrost, and any
other categories the Secretary determines necessary.
(B) An overview of mitigations that may be necessary
to ensure the continued operational viability and to
increase the resiliency of the identified vulnerable
military installations and the cost of such mitigations.
(C) A discussion of the climate-change related
effects on the Department, including the increase in the
frequency of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief
missions and the theater campaign plans, contingency
plans, and global posture of the combatant commanders.
(D) An overview of mitigations that may be necessary
to ensure mission resiliency and the cost of such
mitigations.
(3) Form.--The report required under paragraph (1) shall be
submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified
annex.

DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND EVALUATION WITHIN
THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.

(a) Report on Plans to Address Developmental Test and Evaluation
Responsibilities Within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.--

[[Page 1533]]

(1) In general.--Not later than 60 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House
of Representatives a report containing a strategy to ensure that
there is sufficient expertise, oversight, and policy direction
on developmental test and evaluation within the Office of the
Secretary of Defense after the completion of the reorganization
of such Office required under section 901 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328; 130 Stat. 2339).
(2) Elements.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall
address the following:
(A) The structure of the roles and responsibilities
of the senior Department of Defense official responsible
for developmental test and evaluation, as distinct from
operational test and evaluation or systems engineering.
(B) The location of the senior Department of Defense
official responsible for developmental test and
evaluation within the organizational structure of the
Office of the Secretary of Defense.
(C) An estimate of personnel and other resources
that should be made available to the senior Department
of Defense official responsible for developmental test
and evaluation to ensure that such official can provide
independent expertise, oversight, and policy direction
and guidance Department of Defense-wide.
(D) Methods to ensure that the senior Department of
Defense official responsible for developmental test and
evaluation will be empowered to facilitate Department of
Defense-wide efficiencies by helping programs to
optimize test designs and activities, including ensuring
access to program data and participation in acquisition

(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) developmental testing is critical to reducing
acquisition program risk by providing valuable information to
support sound decision making;
(2) major defense acquisition programs often do not conduct
enough developmental testing, so too many problems are first
identified during operational testing, when they are expensive
and time-consuming to fix; and
(3) in order to ensure that effective developmental testing
is conducted on major defense acquisition programs, the
Secretary of Defense should--
(A) carefully consider where the senior Department
of Defense official responsible for developmental test
and evaluation is located within the organizational
structure of the Office of the Secretary of Defense; and
(B) ensure that such official has sufficient
authority and resources to provide oversight and policy
direction on developmental test and evaluation
Department of Defense-wide.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Naval aviation was born in the United States when Eugene
Ely launched from the deck of a United States Navy ship on
November 14, 1910, in a Curtiss Model D.

[[Page 1603]]

(2) In 1915, Cpt. Henry C. Mustin made the first catapult
launch aboard a ship underway in a Curtiss Model AB-2, beginning
a century of technological advancements that have led to today's
Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System.
(3) In 1924, Lt. Dixie Kiefer made the first night catapult
launch in a Vought UO-1 in San Diego harbor.
(4) The first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS
Enterprise (CVN 65), was commissioned in 1961, ushering in a new
era of the world's most dominant and capable warships.
(5) In 2013, aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73)
provided humanitarian assistance, medical supplies, food, and
water to the victims in the Republic of the Philippines of Super
Typhoon Haiyan, once again demonstrating the versatility of
aircraft carriers for combat, diplomatic, and humanitarian
operations.
(6) In 2017, the first of the next generation of aircraft
carriers, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), was commissioned, marking
a continuation of the innovative naval aviation spirit,
technological advancement, and war fighting capabilities of
aircraft carriers.
(7) For over 70 years, aircraft carriers have been employed
in every major and many smaller conflicts, including World War
II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Lebanon, Libya, Operation Desert
Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the fight against terrorism.
(8) The United States Navy's aircraft carriers are a
cornerstone of the Nation's ability to project its power and
strength.
(9) When aircraft carriers sail the globe they are a
statement of national purpose and a symbol of the Nation's
industrial strength, competitive edge, and economic prosperity.
(10) Aircraft carriers are 4.5 acres of sovereign United
States territory enabling the Nation to reduce its dependency on
other nations while it pursues its national security interests.
(11) Aircraft carriers enable the United States Armed Forces
to carry out operations from international waters, often
obviating the need to obtain fly-over rights and land-base
rights from other nations.
(12) Aircraft carriers are modern, mobile United States
military bases complete with airfield, hospital, and
communications systems from which the United States can strike
at its enemies.
(13) Over 90 percent of world trade is moved by sea,
including much of the world's gas and oil supply, and aircraft
carriers patrol vital regions of the world to keep shipping
lanes open and protect the interests of the United States and
its allies.
(14) There are more than 2,450 companies in 48 States and
over 364 congressional districts, and more than 13,100
shipbuilders, who proudly contribute to the construction and
maintenance of these complex and technologically advanced ships.
(15) Thousands of members of the United States Armed Forces
have served the Nation aboard aircraft carriers in war, peace,
and times of crisis.

(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) United States aircraft carriers are premier sea-based
power projection platforms and have served the Nation's

[[Page 1604]]

interests in times of war and peace, adapting to the immediate
and ever-changing nature of the world for over 90 years; and
(2) aircraft carrier contributions and heritage should be
celebrated.
SEC. 1086. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE UNITED STATES NAVY
SEABEES.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On March 5, 1942, Navy Construction Force personnel,
known as the ``Seabees'', were officially established by the
Navy Department.
(2) The purpose of the Navy Seabees is to build, maintain,
and support base infrastructure in remote locations for the Navy
and Marine Corps, while simultaneously being capable of engaging
in combat operations.
(3) The Navy Seabees dual-role is exemplified by the Seabee
motto Construimus, Batuimus: We Build, We Fight.
(4) Throughout their history, the Navy Seabees have answered
the call of duty to protect the United States and its democratic
values both in times of war and peace.
(5) The Navy Seabees support United States national security
at Navy fleet and combatant commands worldwide, through the
construction, both on land and underwater, of bases, airfields,
roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.
(6) The Navy Seabees and their families have demonstrated
unmatched courage and dedication to sacrifice for the United
States, from service in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to the
recent conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
(7) The Navy Seabees exhibit honor, personal courage, and
commitment as they sacrifice their personal comfort to keep the
United States safe from threats.
(8) The Navy Seabees continue to display strength,
professionalism, and bravery in the all-volunteer force.

(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress recognizes the United States Navy
Seabees and the Navy personnel who comprise the construction force for
the Navy and the Marine Corps as critical elements in deterring
conflict, overcoming aggression, and rebuilding democratic institutions.

SEC. 1095. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WORLD WAR I.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States declared war against Germany on April
6, 1917, to redress wrongs, including Germany's resumption of
unrestricted submarine warfare, violation of United States
neutrality, meddling in Mexican affairs, and denial of freedom
of the seas to nonbelligerent nations.
(2) The United States associated itself with the allied
powers of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth, France and
its colonies, Russia, Italy, and Japan to defeat the German
Empire.
(3) The United States Army, consisting of the Regular Army,
National Guard, and Reserve Corps, with the addition of
volunteers and the draftees of the National Army, underwent a
transformation from a frontier constabulary and coastal defense
force to a modern land warfare force.
(4) Early 20th century military and technological advances
resulted in the incorporation of motor transport, aviation,
anti-aircraft artillery, tanks, chemical weapons, submarines and
anti-submarine warfare, underwater mines, and other innovations
into the military arsenal of the United States.
(5) The need to quickly build a military strength of four
million soldiers and half a million sailors required the
mobilization of the human resources of the United States, during
which members of diverse ethnic groups, races, and creeds, both
native-born and immigrant, forged a new American identity.
(6) The United States Army maintained its defense of
American seacoasts, southern border, and overseas possessions,
while the Army American Expeditionary Forces arrived in Europe
in June 1917 and deployed for combat operations in October.
(7) By the end of World War I, almost 2,000,000 members of
the Army served overseas in the American Expeditionary Forces.
(8) During World War I, the United States Navy increased in
strength from approximately 67,000 sailors and marines to
approximately 500,000 sailors and marines by the war's end, and
the size of the Navy increased from around 200 ships at the
outbreak of war in Europe in 1914, to 342 vessels by the time
the United States entered the war, and 774 vessels by the day of
the Armistice
(9) The Navy operated in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,
and the North and Mediterranean Seas in cooperation with allied
navies.
(10) The Navy began the fight against the German U-boat
menace by first dispatching 34 destroyers stationed specifically
for such purpose, which by war's end grew to 110 total
destroyers
(11) Navy vessels escorted troop transports carrying
1,250,000 passengers and escorted supply transports carrying 27
percent of all cargo shipped to Europe.

[[Page 1614]]

(12) The Navy deployed five batteries of large-caliber
battleship guns mounted on railroad trains to France for service
as long-range artillery for the Army.
(13) The United States Coast Guard transferred to the
operational control of the Navy and augmented that service with
officers and sailors, vessels of all types, and shore stations.
(14) The United States Marine Corps, with an eventual
wartime strength of 53,000 officers and men, detached the 5th
and 6th regiments and a machine gun battalion to constitute an
infantry brigade integrated into the Army's 2d Division for
service in France.
(15) On July 4, 1917, Colonel Charles E. Stanton, one of the
officers on the staff of General John Pershing, commander of the
American Expeditionary Forces in Europe, famously announced the
commitment of the United States to the fight when Colonel
Stanton proclaimed upon his arrival in France, ``Lafayette, we
are here!''.
(16) Whereas the American Expeditionary Forces formed three
field armies, nine corps and 43 divisions, plus various units of
the Services of Supply.
(17) The American Expeditionary Forces suffered 255,000
casualties and over 50,000 non-battle casualties while
participating in 13 named campaigns in World War I.
(18) Participation in World War I resulted in the completion
of a period of reform and professionalism that transformed the
Armed Forces from a small dispersed organization to a modern
industrialized fighting force capable of global reach and
influence.

(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
(1) honors the memory of the fallen heroes who wore the
uniform of the United States Armed Forces during World War I;
(2) commends the Unites States Armed Forces for preserving
and protecting the interests of the United States during World
War I;
(3) commends the brave members of the United States Armed
Forces for their courage while preserving the founding
principles of the United States at home and abroad during World
War I;
(4) commends the brave members of the United States Armed
Forces for preserving and protecting the sea lanes of commerce
and communications during World War I that ensured the continued
prosperity of the United States;
(5) celebrates and congratulates the United States Army,
Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard during the
commemoration of the centennial of World War I for a job well
done; and
(6) calls on all people of the United States to join in the

throughout the United States and overseas.

Relations of the Senate.
SEC. 1233. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EUROPEAN SECURITY.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:

[[Page 1658]]

(1) Russia's ongoing aggressive actions, including its
invasions of Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014, threats to
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies, rapid military
modernization, advanced anti-access and area denial
capabilities, increasing military activity in the Arctic region
and Mediterranean Sea, evolving nuclear doctrine and
capabilities, and violations of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear
Forces Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Treaty on Open Skies,
constitute a major challenge to the security interests of the
United States and its allies and partners in Europe.
(2) Russia's ongoing malign influence activities, including
misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, cyberattacks,
election interference, active measures, and hybrid warfare
operations pose not only a threat to the security interests of
the United States and its allies and partners in Europe, but to
the integrity of Western democracies and the institutions and
alliances they support.
(3) Russia's doctrine of ``escalate to de-escalate'', along
with its tactical nuclear capabilities, threaten United States
forces and European allies and exacerbate the risk of
miscalculation and escalation in a crisis.
(4) The European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) continues to
improve credible deterrence against Russian aggression by--
(A) training and equipping military forces of NATO
allies and European partners;
(B) enhancing the indications and warning,
interoperability, and logistics capabilities of United
States allies and partners; and
(C) improving the agility and flexibility of
partners and allies to address threats across the full
spectrum of domains.
(5) A strong NATO alliance is the cornerstone of
transatlantic security cooperation and the guarantor of peace
and stability in Europe.
(6) The steps taken at the NATO 2014 Wales Summit and the
NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit, including the adoption and
implementation of the Readiness Action Plan (RAP), the formation
of the Very High Joint Readiness Force (VJTF), the Enhanced
Forward Presence (EFP) multinational battalions deployed to
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, and the Tailored Forward
Presence in Romania and Bulgaria, have strengthened NATO
readiness and collective defense.
(7) Montenegro's accession into NATO is a strong step toward
strengthening the alliance, enhancing security and stability in
Southeastern Europe, and reaffirming NATO's commitment to an
``Open Door'' policy.
(8) Cooperation with non-NATO allies and members of the
Partnership for Peace program enhances security and stability in
Europe.

(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States should support a Europe whole, free,
and at peace and the sovereign right of all European states to
pursue integration into the Euro-Atlantic community through
institutions such as NATO and the European Union;
(2) the United States should develop and implement a policy
and strategy backed by all elements of United States

[[Page 1659]]

power to deter and, if necessary, defeat Russian aggression,
which will require--
(A) enhancing United States military capability and
capacity in Europe, including strong consideration of
investments in increased permanently-stationed and
continued rotational forces as well as the facilities
and infrastructure necessary to support United States
presence and training with its allies and partners; and
(B) strengthening United States capability and
capacity to counter malign Russian influence, including
Russian hybrid warfare operations short of traditional
armed conflict, malicious Russian cyber activities, and
Russia's use of misinformation, disinformation, and
propaganda;
(3) investments that support the security and stability of
Europe, including the EDI, and support to European countries in
further developing their security capabilities, are in the long-
term national security interests of the United States, and as
such, funds for such efforts should be included in the
President's base budget request for the Department of Defense in
order to fully support United States combat capability in
Europe, facilitate efficient planning and execution, and ensure
budgetary transparency;
(4) the United States should maintain an ironclad commitment
to its obligations under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty,
which declares that an ``armed attack against one or more [NATO
allies] shall be considered an attack against them all'';
(5) while NATO allies have made progress toward high levels
of defense spending, it is important that all NATO allies
fulfill their commitments to levels and composition of defense
expenditures as agreed upon at the NATO 2014 Wales Summit and
NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit in order to uphold their obligations
under Article 3 of the North Atlantic Treaty to ``maintain and
develop their individual and collective capacity to resist armed
attack'';
(6) NATO allies should continue to coordinate defense
investments to both improve deterrence against Russian
aggression and more appropriately balance defense spending
across the alliance; and
(7) because the NATO alliance defends not only the common
security of the United States and its NATO allies, but our
common values as well, it is essential that all NATO allies
uphold their obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty to
``safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilization of
their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy,
individual liberty and the rule of law''.

SEC. 1236. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES
OF NATO.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Warsaw Summit Communique, issued on July 9, 2016, by
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (in this section referred
to as ``NATO'') clearly defines the need for, and the importance
of, the nuclear mission of NATO.
(2) The Warsaw Summit Communique states--
(A) with respect to the nuclear deterrence
capability of NATO, ``As a means to prevent conflict and
war, credible deterrence and defence is essential.
Therefore, deterrence and defence, based on an
appropriate mix of nuclear, conventional, and missile
defence capabilities, remains a core element of our
overall strategy. . . The fundamental purpose of NATO's
nuclear capability is to preserve peace, prevent
coercion, and deter aggression. Nuclear weapons are
unique. Any employment of nuclear weapons against NATO
would fundamentally alter the nature of a conflict. The
circumstances in which NATO might have to use nuclear
weapons are extremely remote'';
(B) with respect to the nature of the nuclear
deterrence posture of NATO, ``NATO must continue to
adapt its strategy in line with trends in the security
environment-including with respect to capabilities and
other measures required-to ensure that NATO's overall
deterrence and defence posture is capable of addressing
potential adversaries' doctrine and capabilities, and
that it remains credible, flexible, resilient, and
adaptable.''; and
(C) with respect to the importance of contributions
to the nuclear deterrence mission from across the NATO
alliance, ``The strategic forces of the Alliance,
particularly those of the United States, are the supreme
guarantee of the security of the Allies. The independent
strategic nuclear forces of the United Kingdom and
France have a deterrent role of their own and contribute
to the overall security of the Alliance. These Allies'
separate centres of decision-making contribute to
deterrence by complicating the calculations of potential
adversaries. NATO's nuclear deterrence posture also
relies, in part, on United States' nuclear weapons
forward-deployed in Europe and on capabilities and
infrastructure provided by Allies concerned. These
Allies will ensure that all components of NATO's nuclear
deterrent remain safe, secure, and effective. That
requires sustained leadership focus and institutional
excellence for the nuclear deterrence mission and
planning guidance aligned with 21st century
requirements. The Alliance will ensure the broadest
possible participation of Allies concerned in their
agreed nuclear burden-sharing arrangements.''.
(3) Secretary of Defense James Mattis, in response to the
advance policy questions for his Senate confirmation hearing on
January 12, 2017, stated that--

[[Page 1663]]

(A) ``NATO's nuclear deterrence posture relies in
part on U.S. nuclear weapons forward-deployed in Europe
and on capabilities and infrastructure provided by NATO
allies. These capabilities include dual-capable aircraft
that contribute to current burden-sharing arrangements
within NATO. In general, we must take care to maintain
this particular capability, and to modernize it
appropriately and in a timely fashion.''; and
(B) the role of the nuclear weapons of the United
States is ``to deter nuclear war and to serve as last
resort weapons of self-defense. In this sense, U.S.
nuclear weapons are fundamental to our nation's security
and have historically provided a deterrent against
aggression and security assurance to U.S. allies. A
robust, flexible, and survivable U.S. nuclear arsenal
underpins the U.S. ability to deploy conventional forces
worldwide.''.
(4) On March 28, 2017, General Curtis Scaparrotti, Commander
of the United States European Command and the Supreme Allied
Commander, Europe, testified to the Committee on Armed Services
of the House of Representatives that ``NATO and U.S. nuclear
forces continue to be a vital component of our deterrence. Our
modernization efforts are crucial; we must preserve a ready,
credible, and safe nuclear capability.''.
(5) The Russian Federation is currently undergoing
significant modernization and recapitalization of all three legs
of its nuclear triad, continues to field and modernize a large
variety of non-strategic nuclear weapons, and is developing and
deploying new and unique nuclear capabilities.
(6) Russia remains in violation of the INF Treaty due to the
development, testing, and, most recently, the operational
deployment of ground-launched cruise missiles in violation of
the INF Treaty.
(7) On March 28, 2017, General Paul Selva, Vice Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described the security consequences
of the deployment of such INF Treaty-violating missiles,
testifying to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives that ``our assessment of the impact is that it
more threatens NATO and infrastructure within the European
continent than any other...area of the world that we have
national interests in or alliance interests in.''.
(8) On March 28, 2017, General Curtis Scaparrotti, in
testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives, responded to a question asking if Russia
intends to return to compliance with the INF Treaty by stating,
``I don't have any indication that they will at this time.''.
(9) Rhetoric from Russian officials has demonstrated that
Moscow has sought to leverage its nuclear arsenal to threaten
and intimidate neighboring countries, including members of NATO,
as was the case when the Russian Ambassador to Denmark stated,
``Danish warships will be targets for Russian nuclear missiles''
in response to Denmark's potential cooperation in the NATO
missile defense system.

(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the nuclear and conventional deterrence capabilities of
NATO are of critical importance to the security of the United
States and of the NATO alliance, and must continue to adapt to
the changed security environment in Europe;

[[Page 1664]]

(2) the ability of the United States to forward-deploy dual-
capable aircraft and nuclear weapons, and of select members of
NATO to participate in the nuclear deterrence mission of NATO by
hosting forward-deployed nuclear weapons of the United States or
operating dual-capable aircraft, is central to the credibility
of the nuclear deterrence and defense posture of NATO;
(3) the strategic forces of the United States, the
independent nuclear forces of the United Kingdom and the French
Republic, and the dual-capable aircraft operated by the United
States and other members of NATO constitute foundational
elements of the nuclear deterrence and defense posture of NATO;
(4) NATO should modernize its nuclear-related infrastructure
to ensure the highest-level of safety and security;
(5) effective deterrence requires NATO to conduct nuclear
planning and exercises aligned with 21st century requirements
and modernize nuclear-related capabilities and infrastructure,
including dual-capable aircraft, command and control networks,
and facilities; and
(6) to ensure the continued credibility of the deterrence
and defense posture of NATO, the planned completion of F-35A
aircraft development and testing, as well as the delivery of
such aircraft to members of NATO, must not be delayed.

(c) INF Treaty Defined.--In this section, the term ``INF Treaty''
means the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their Intermediate-
Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, commonly referred to as the

Subtitle E <> --Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF)
Treaty Preservation Act of 2017
SEC. 1241. <>  SHORT TITLE.

This subtitle may be cited as the ``Intermediate-Range Nuclear
Forces (INF) Treaty Preservation Act of 2017''.
SEC. 1242. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The 2014, 2015, and 2016 Department of State reports
entitled, ``Adherence to and Compliance with Arms Control,
Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments'',
all stated that the United States has determined that ``the
Russian Federation is in violation of its obligations under the
INF Treaty not to possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-
launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500 km
to 5,500 km, or to possess or produce launchers of such
missiles''.
(2) The 2016 report also noted that ``the cruise missile
developed by Russia meets the INF Treaty definition of a ground-
launched cruise missile with a range capability of 500 km to
5,500 km, and as such, all missiles of that type, and all
launchers of the type used or tested to launch such a missile,
are prohibited under the provisions of the INF Treaty''.
(3) Potential consistency and compliance concerns regarding
the INF Treaty noncompliant GLCM have existed since 2008, were
not officially raised with the Russian Federation until 2013,
and were not briefed to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) until January 2014.
(4) The United States Government is aware of other
consistency and compliance concerns regarding Russia actions
vis-a-vis its INF Treaty obligations.

[[Page 1672]]

(5) Since 2013, senior United States officials, including
the President, the Secretary of State, and the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, have raised Russian noncompliance with
the INF Treaty to their counterparts, but no progress has been
made in bringing the Russian Federation back into compliance
with the INF Treaty.
(6) In April 2014, General Breedlove, the Supreme Allied
Commander Europe, correctly stated, ``A weapon capability that
violates the INF, that is introduced into the greater European
land mass, is absolutely a tool that will have to be dealt with
. . . It can't go unanswered.''.
(7) The Department of Defense in its September 2013 report,
Report on Conventional Prompt Global Strike Options if Exempt
from the Restrictions of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces
Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics, stated that it has multiple
validated military requirement gaps due to the prohibitions
imposed on the United States as a result of its compliance with
the INF Treaty.
(8) It is not in the national security interests of the
United States to be unilaterally legally prohibited from
developing dual-capable ground-launched cruise missiles with
ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers, while Russia makes
advances in developing and fielding this class of weapon
systems, and such unilateral limitation cannot be allowed to
continue indefinitely.
(9) Admiral Harry Harris, Jr., Commander of the United
States Pacific Command, testified before the Senate Armed
Services Committee on April 27, 2017, that ``[W]e're in a multi-
polar world where we have a lot of countries who are developing
these weapons, including China, that I worry about. And I worry
about their DF-21 and DF-26 missile programs, their anti-carrier
ballistic missile programs, if you will. INF doesn't address
missiles launched from ships or airplanes, but it focuses on
those land-based systems. I think there's goodness in the INF
treaty, anything you can do to limit nuclear weapons writ-large
is generally good. But the aspects of the INF Treaty that limit
our ability to counter Chinese and other countries' land-based
missiles, I think, is problematic.''.
(10) A material breach of the INF Treaty by the Russian
Federation affords the United States the right to invoke legal
countermeasures which include suspension of the treaty in whole
or in part.
(11) Article XV of the INF Treaty provides that ``Each Party
shall, in exercising its national sovereignty, have the right to
withdraw from this Treaty if it decides that extraordinary
events related to the subject matter of this Treaty have
jeopardized its supreme interests.''.
SEC. 1243. COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT REGARDING RUSSIAN VIOLATIONS OF
THE INF TREATY.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the actions undertaken by the Russian Federation in
violation of the INF Treaty constitute a material breach of the
treaty;
(2) in light of the Russian Federation's material breach of
the INF Treaty, the United States is legally entitled to

[[Page 1673]]

suspend the operation of the INF Treaty in whole or in part for
so long as the Russian Federation continues to be in material
breach; and
(3) for so long as the Russian Federation remains in
noncompliance with the INF Treaty, the United States should take
actions to encourage the Russian Federation return to
compliance, including by--
(A) providing additional funds for the capabilities
identified in section 1243(d) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92; 129 Stat. 1062); and
(B) seeking additional missile defense assets in the
European theater to protect United States and NATO
forces from ground-launched missile systems of the
Russian Federation that are in noncompliance with the
INF Treaty.

(b) Availability of Funds.--Of the funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2018 for research, development,
test, and evaluation, as specified in the funding table in division D,
$58,000,000 shall be made available for the development of--
(1) active defenses to counter ground-launched missile
systems with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers;
(2) counterforce capabilities to prevent attacks from these
missiles; and
(3) countervailing strike capabilities to enhance the
capabilities of the United States identified in section 1243(d)
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016
(Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat. 1062).

(c) Development of INF Range Ground-launched Missile System.--
(1) Establishment of a program of record.--The Secretary of
Defense shall establish a program of record to develop a
conventional road-mobile ground-launched cruise missile system
with a range of between 500 to 5,500 kilometers, including
research and development activities with respect to such cruise
missile system.
(2) Report required.--Not later than 120 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
cost and schedule for, and feasibility of, modifying United
States missile systems in existence or planned as of such date
of enactment for ground launch with a range of between 500 and
5,500 kilometers as compared with the cost and schedule for, and
feasibility of, developing a new ground-launched missile using
new technology with the same range.

FEDERAL CONTRACTS.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) since the passage of the Budget Control Act of 2011
(Public Law 112-25; 125 Stat. 240), many Federal agencies have
started favoring longer-term Federal contracts, including
multiple award contracts, over direct individual awards;
(2) these multiple award contracts have grown to more than
one-fifth of Federal contract spending, with the fastest growing
multiple award contracts each surpassing $100,000,000 in
obligations for the first time between 2013 and 2014;
(3) in fiscal year 2017, 17 of the 20 largest Federal
contract opportunities are multiple award contracts;
(4) while Federal agencies may choose to use any or all of
the various socioeconomic groups on a multiple award contract,
the Small Business Administration only examines the performance
of socioeconomic groups through the small business procurement
scorecard and does not examine potential opportunities for those
groups; and
(5) Congress and the Department of Justice have been clear
that no individual socioeconomic group shall be given preference
over another.

(1) the term ``Administrator'' means the Administrator of

Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate
and the Committee on Small Business of the House of
Representatives a report that includes--
(A) a determination as to whether small business

concern are being utilized in a significant portion of
the multiple award contracts awarded by the Federal
Government, including--
(i) whether awards are reserved for concerns

transactions and developing enhanced tools and methods for
agency use in--
(A) identifying questionable purchase and travel
card transactions; and
(B) recovering improper payments made with purchase
and travel cards;
(2) identifying potential opportunities for agencies to
further leverage administrative process streamlining and cost
reduction from purchase and travel card use, including
additional agency opportunities for card-based strategic
sourcing;
(3) developing a set of purchase and travel card metrics and
benchmarks for high-risk activities, which shall assist agencies
in identifying potential emphasis areas for their purchase and
travel card management and oversight activities, including those
required by the Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of

(1) require relevant officials at Federal agencies to
identify high-risk activities and communicate that information
to the appropriate management levels within the agencies;
(2) require that appropriate officials at Federal agencies
review the reports issued by charge card-issuing banks on
questionable transaction activity (such as purchase and travel
card pre-suspension and suspension reports, delinquency reports,
and exception reports), including transactions that

[[Page 1816]]

occur with high-risk activities, and suspicious timing or
amounts of cash withdrawals or advances;
(3) provide for the appropriate sharing of information
related to potential questionable transactions, fraud schemes,
and high-risk activities with the General Services

Subtitle B--Program Authorizations, Restrictions, and Limitations

SEC. 3111. NUCLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE
MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On September 7, 2016, during testimony before the
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces of the Committee on Armed
Services of the House of Representatives--
(A) the Administrator for Nuclear Security, Frank
Klotz, said--
(i) ``Our infrastructure is extensive,
complex, and, in many critical areas, several
decades old. More than half of NNSA's
approximately 6,000 real property assets are over
40 years old, and nearly 30 percent date back to
the Manhattan Project era. Many of the
enterprise's critical utility, safety, and support
systems are failing at an increasing and
unpredictable rate, which poses both programmatic
and safety risk.''; and

[[Page 1880]]

(ii) ``I can think of no greater threat to the
nuclear security enterprise than the state of
NNSA's infrastructure.'';
(B) the President and Chief Executive Officer of
Consolidated Nuclear Security, Morgan Smith, said,
``Many key facilities at both [Pantex and Y-12] were
constructed in the 1940s and were intended to operate
for as little as one decade. Many facilities and their
supporting infrastructure have exceeded or far exceeded
their expected life, and major systems within the
facilities are beginning to fail.''; and
(C) the Director of Los Alamos National Laboratory,
Dr. Charlie McMillan, said, ``One of the things that
keeps me up at night is the realization that essential
capabilities are held at risk by the possibility of such
failures; in many cases, our enterprise has a single
point of failure.''.
(2) In a letter sent on December 23, 2015, by the Secretary
of Energy, Ernest Moniz, to the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, Shaun Donovan, the Secretary said, ``A
majority of the National Nuclear Security Administration's
(NNSA) facilities and systems are well beyond end-of-life....
Infrastructure problems such as falling ceilings are increasing
in frequency and severity, unacceptably risking the safety and
security of both personnel and material at NNSA facilities, as
well as in some instances, potential offsite risks. The entire
complex could be placed at risk if there is a single failure
where a single point would disrupt a critical link in
infrastructure.''.
(3) The Nuclear Posture Review published in April 2010
stated that ``In order to sustain a safe, secure, and effective
U.S. nuclear stockpile as long as nuclear weapons exist, the
United States must possess a modern physical infrastructure....
Today's nuclear complex, however, has fallen into neglect.
Although substantial science, technology, and engineering
investments were made over the last decade under the auspices of
the Stockpile Stewardship Program, the complex still includes
many oversized and costly-to maintain facilities built during
the 1940s and 1950s. Some facilities needed for working with
plutonium and uranium date back to the Manhattan Project.
Safety, security, and environmental issues associated with these
aging facilities are mounting, as are the costs of addressing
them.''.
(4) In 2009, the bipartisan Congressional Commission on the
Strategic Posture of the United States established by section
1062 of the National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2008
(Public Law 110-181; 122 Stat. 319) stated, with regards to key
production facilities, that ``existing facilities are genuinely
decrepit and are maintained in a safe and secure manner only at
high cost''.
(5) Previous efforts to address the deferred maintenance and
repair challenges within the nuclear security enterprise, such
as the Facilities Infrastructure and Recapitalization Program
and the recent halt in the growth of backlog metrics, are
laudable but insufficient for the magnitude of the problem.
(6) Recent figures provided by the Administrator for Nuclear
Security estimate the backlog of deferred maintenance

[[Page 1881]]

and repair needs of the nuclear security enterprise to be
approximately $3,700,000,000.

(b) <>  Infrastructure Modernization
Initiative.--
(1) Establishment.--Not later than 30 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Administrator for Nuclear
Security shall establish and carry out a program, to be known as
the ``Infrastructure Modernization Initiative'', to reduce the
backlog of deferred maintenance and repair needs of the nuclear
security enterprise (as defined in section 4002(6) of the Atomic
Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2501(6))). In carrying out that
program, the Administrator shall establish and execute
infrastructure modernization milestones that reduce the deferred
maintenance and repair needs of the nuclear security enterprise
by not less than 30 percent by 2025.
(2) Authorities.--
(A) Process.--
(i) In general.--The Secretary of Energy shall
provide to the Administrator a process that will
enhance or streamline the ability of the
Administrator to carry out the program under
paragraph (1) in an efficient and effective
manner, including with respect to--
(I) the demolition or construction
of non-nuclear facilities of the
Administration that have a total
estimated project cost of less than
$100,000,000; and
(II) the decontamination,
decommissioning, and demolition (to be
performed in accordance with applicable
health and safety standards used by the
Defense Environmental Cleanup Program)
of process-contaminated facilities of
the Administration that have a total
estimated project cost of less than
$50,000,000.
(ii) Funding.--Clause (i) may be carried out
using amounts authorized to be appropriated for
fiscal year 2018 or any subsequent fiscal year.
(B) Application of certain requirements.--For
purposes of the Management Procedures Memorandum 2015-01
of the Office of Management and Budget, or a successor
memorandum, in carrying out the program under paragraph
(1), the Administrator may--
(i) perform new construction during a fiscal
year that differs from the fiscal year of
corresponding facility demolition;
(ii) perform demolition of different facility
category codes and have that demolition credit
count towards the construction of new facilities
with a different facility category code; and
(iii) have the net reduction in infrastructure
footprint for the five fiscal years prior to the
date of the enactment of this Act, and the
demolition during the five fiscal years following
such date of enactment, considered as a factor for
the purpose of meeting the intent of such
memorandum.
(3) Initial plan.--Not later than March 1, 2018, the
Administrator shall submit to the congressional defense
committees an initial plan to carry out the program under

[[Page 1882]]

paragraph (1) to achieve the goal specified in such paragraph.
Such plan shall include--
(A) the funding required to carry out the program
during the period covered by the future-years nuclear
security program under section 3253 of the National
Nuclear Security Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2453);
(B) the criteria for selecting and prioritizing
projects within the program under paragraph (1);
(C) mechanisms for ensuring the robust management
and oversight of such projects;
(D) a description of the process provided to the
Administrator to carry out the program pursuant to
paragraph (2)(A); and
(E) a description of any legislative actions the
Administrator recommends to further enhance or
streamline authorities or processes relating to the
program.
(4) Reassessment.--Not later than February 1, 2024, the
Administrator shall reassess the program under paragraph (1)
and, as appropriate, develop and establish goals for the program
beyond 2025.

(c) Inclusion in Biennial Detailed Report.--Section 4203(d)(4) of
the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2523(d)(4)) is amended--
(1) in subparagraph (B), by striking ``; and'' and inserting
a semicolon;
(2) in subparagraph (C), by striking the period at the end
and inserting ``; and''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
``(D)(i) a description of--
``(I) the metrics (based on industry best
practices) used by the Administrator to determine
the infrastructure deferred maintenance and repair
needs of the nuclear security enterprise; and
``(II) the percentage of replacement plant
value being spent on maintenance and repair needs
of the nuclear security enterprise; and
``(ii) an explanation of whether the annual spending
on such needs complies with the recommendation of the
National Research Council of the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that such spending
be in an amount equal to four percent of the replacement
plant value, and, if not, the reasons for such
noncompliance and a plan for how the Administrator will
ensure facilities of the nuclear security enterprise are
being properly sustained.''.

(d) Requirements Relating to Critical Decisions.--
(1) In general.--Subtitle A of title XLVII of the Atomic
Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2741 et seq.) is amended by adding
at the end the following new section:
``SEC. 4715. <>  MATTERS RELATING TO CRITICAL
DECISIONS.

``(a) Post-critical Decision 2 Changes.--After the date on which a
plant project specifically authorized by law and carried out under
Department of Energy Order 413.3B (relating to program management and
project management for the acquisition of capital assets), or a
successor order, achieves critical decision 2, the Administrator may not
change the requirements for such project

[[Page 1883]]

if such change increases the cost of such project by more than the
lesser of $5,000,000 or 15 percent, unless--
``(1) the Administrator submits to the congressional defense
committees--
``(A) a certification that the Administrator,
without delegation, authorizes such proposed change; and
``(B) a cost-benefit and risk analysis of such
proposed change, including with respect to--
``(i) the effects of such proposed change on
the project cost and schedule; and
``(ii) any mission risks and operational risks
from making such change or not making such change;
and
``(2) a period of 15 days elapses following the date of such
submission.

``(b) Review and Approval.--The Administrator shall ensure that
critical decision packages are timely reviewed and either approved or
disapproved.''.
(2) Clerical amendment.--The table of contents at the
beginning of such Act is amended by inserting after the item
relating to section 4714 the following new item:

``Sec. 4715. Matters relating to critical decisions.''.

(1) the nuclear security enterprise, comprised of the
infrastructure and capabilities of the laboratories and plants
coupled with the dedicated and talented scientists, engineers,
technicians, and administrators who form the backbone of the
enterprise, are a central component of the nuclear deterrent of
the United States;
(2) if left unaddressed, the state of the infrastructure
within the nuclear security enterprise represents a direct,
long-term threat to the credibility of the nuclear deterrent of
the United States;
(3) both Congress and the President must take strong,
sustained action to recapitalize and repair this infrastructure;
(4) the Administrator must continue to carry out expeditious
demolition of old facilities of the Administration to reduce
long-term costs and improve safety; and
(5) each budget of the President submitted to Congress under
section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, for fiscal year
2019 and each fiscal year thereafter should include funding in
an amount sufficient to carry out the program established
pursuant to subsection (b)(1) to achieve the goal specified in
such subsection.

SEC. 3118. <>  NUCLEAR WARHEAD DESIGN
COMPETITION.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In January 2016, the co-chairs of a congressionally
mandated study panel from the National Academies of Science
testified to the following before the Committee on Armed
Services of the House of Representatives:
(A) ``The National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) complex must engage in robust design competitions
in order to exercise the design and production skills
that underpin stockpile stewardship and are necessary to
meet evolving threats.''.
(B) ``To exercise the full set of design skills
necessary for an effective nuclear deterrent, the NNSA
should develop and conduct the first in what the
committee envisions to be a series of design
competitions that integrate the full end-to-end process
from novel design conception through engineering,
building, and non-nuclear testing of a prototype.''.
(2) In March 2016 testimony before the Committee on Armed
Services of the House of Representatives regarding a

[[Page 1891]]

December 2016 Defense Science Board report entitled, ``Seven
Defense Priorities for the New Administration'', members of that
Board said the following:
(A) ``A key contributor to nuclear deterrence is the
continuous, adaptable exercise of the development,
design, and production functions for nuclear weapons in
both the DOD and DOE.... Yet the DOE laboratories and
DOD contractor community have done little integrated
design and development work outside of life extension
for 25 years, let alone concept development that could
serve as a hedge to surprise.''.
(B) ``The Defense Science Board believes that the
triad's complementary features remain robust tenets for
the design of a future force. Replacing our current,
aging force is essential, but not sufficient in the more
complex nuclear environment we now face to provide the
adaptability or flexibility to confidently hold at risk
what adversaries value. In particular, if the threat
evolves in ways that favorably change the cost/benefit
calculus in the view of an adversary's leadership, then
we should be in a position to quickly restore a credible
deterrence posture.''.
(3) In a memorandum dated May 9, 2014, then-Secretary of
Energy Ernie Moniz said the following:
(A) ``If nuclear military capabilities are to
provide deterrence for the nation they need to be
relevant to the emerging global strategic environment.
The current stockpile was designed to meet the needs of
a bipolar world with roots in the Cold War era. A more
complex, chaotic, and dynamic security environment is
emerging. In order to uphold the Department's mission to
ensure an effective nuclear deterrent.... we must ensure
our nuclear capabilities meet the challenges of known
and potential geopolitical and technological trends.
Therefore we must look ahead, using the expertise of our
laboratories, to how the capabilities that may be
employed by other nations could impact deterrence over
the next several decades.''.
(B) ``We must challenge our thinking about our
programs of record in order to permit foresighted
actions that may reduce, in the coming decades, the
chances for surprise and that buttress deterrence.''.

(b) Design Competition.--
(1) In general.--In accordance with paragraph (2), the
Administrator for Nuclear Security, in coordination with the
Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council, shall carry out a new
and comprehensive design competition for a nuclear warhead that
could be employed on ballistic missiles of the United States by
2030. Such competition shall--
(A) examine options for warhead design and related
delivery system requirements in the 2030s, including--
(i) life extension of existing weapons;
(ii) new capabilities; and
(iii) such other concepts as the Administrator
and the Chairman determine necessary to fully
exercise and create responsive design capabilities
in the enterprise and ensure a robust nuclear
deterrent into the 2030s;

[[Page 1892]]

(B) assess how the capabilities and defenses that
may be employed by other countries could impact
deterrence in 2030 and beyond and how such threats could
be addressed or mitigated in the warhead and related
delivery systems;
(C) exercise the full set of design skills necessary
for an effective nuclear deterrent and responsive
enterprise through production of conceptual designs and,
as the Administrator determines appropriate, production
of non-nuclear prototypes of components or subsystems;
and
(D) examine and recommend actions for significantly
shortening timelines and significantly reducing costs
associated with design, development, certification, and
production of the warhead, without reducing worker or
public health and safety.
(2) Timing.--The Administrator shall--
(A) during fiscal year 2018, develop a plan to carry
out paragraph (1); and
(B) during fiscal year 2019, implement such plan.

(c) Briefing.--Not later than March 1, 2018, the Administrator, in
coordination with the Chairman, shall provide a briefing to the
congressional defense committees on the plan of the Administrator to
carry out the warhead design competition under subsection (b). Such
briefing shall include an assessment of the costs, benefits, risks, and
opportunities of such plan, particularly impacts to ongoing life
extension programs and infrastructure projects.

detection, and monitoring;
(B) costs and funding requirements over 10 years for
such verification, detection, and monitoring; and
(C) identifying and integrating roles,
responsibilities, and planning for such verification,
detection, and monitoring.
(2) A detailed international engagement plan for building
cooperation and transparency, including bilateral and
multilateral efforts, to improve inspections, detection, and
monitoring.
(3) A detailed description of--

[[Page 1900]]

(A) current and planned research and development
efforts to improve monitoring, detection, and in-field

Subtitle D--Other Matters

SEC. 3151. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING COMPENSATION OF INDIVIDUALS
RELATING TO URANIUM MINING AND NUCLEAR
TESTING.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (42 U.S.C. 2210
note) was enacted in 1990 to provide monetary compensation to
individuals who contracted certain cancers and other serious
diseases following their exposure to radiation released during
atmospheric nuclear weapons testing during the Cold War or
following exposure to radiation as a result of employment in the
uranium industry during the Cold War.
(2) The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq.) formally
acknowledged the dangers to which some employees of sites of the
Department of Energy and its vendors during the Cold War were
exposed. That Act also acknowledged that, although establishing
the link between occupational hazards and specific diseases can
be difficult, scientific evidence exists to support the
conclusion that some activities related to Cold War nuclear
weapons production have resulted in increased risk of illness
and death to workers. That Act established a formal process for
the submission of claims for medical expenses and lump sum
compensation for former employees and contractors and survivors
of those former employees and contractors.
(3) As of the date of the enactment of this Act, more than
145,775 claims have been paid out under the Radiation Exposure
Compensation Act and the Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000, for a total of at least
$16,400,000,000 in lump sum compensation and medical expenses.

(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United
States Government should appropriately compensate and recognize the
employees, contractors, and other individuals described in subsection
(a).
