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 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:
(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.

Secretary of Defense after the completion of the reorganization of

Stat. 2339).

conducted on major defense acquisition programs, the Secretary of
Defense should--

resources to provide oversight and policy direction on

Prevention Executives of the military departments.

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

(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.
(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

Relations of the Senate.
SEC. 1233. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EUROPEAN SECURITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(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 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--
(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;
(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
``Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty'', signed at
Washington December 8, 1987, and entered into force June 1, 1988.

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.
(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 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

(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.

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

no individual socioeconomic group shall be given preference over
another.

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
(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 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 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 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

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 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;
(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.

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.
