SEC. 214. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
              DEFENSE.

    (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) to ensure sufficient financial resources are devoted to
        emerging technologies, a goal of at least 10 percent of funds
        available under title II for each of the Army, Navy, and Air
        Force should be dedicated to science and technology in each
        military department;
            (2) management and funding for science and technology for
        each military department should receive a level of priority and
        leadership attention equal to the level received by program
        acquisition, and the Secretary of each military department
        should ensure that a senior member of the department holds the
        appropriate title and responsibility to ensure effective

        funds should be directed toward new technology areas, and
        annual reviews should be conducted for ongoing research areas
        to ensure that those funded initiatives are either integrated
        into acquisition programs or discontinued;
            (4) the military departments should take appropriate steps
        to ensure that sufficient numbers of officers and civilian
        employees in each department hold advanced degrees in technical
        fields; and
            (5) of particular concern, the Secretary of the Air Force
        should take appropriate measures to ensure that sufficient
        numbers of scientists and engineers are maintained to address
        the technological challenges faced in the areas of air, space,

                    (A) recommend the minimum requirements to maintain
                a technology base that is sufficient, based on both
                historical developments and future projections, to
                project superiority in air and space weapons systems,
                and information technology;
                    (B) address the effects on national defense and
                civilian aerospace industries and information
                technology by reducing funding below the goal described
                in paragraph (1) of subsection (a); and
                    (C) recommend the appropriate level of staff
                holding baccalaureate, masters, and doctorate degrees,
                and the optimal ratio of civilian and military staff
                holding such degrees, to ensure that science and
                technology functions of the Department of Defense
                remain vital.

                 Subtitle C--Ballistic Missile Defense

SEC. 231. NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Threats posed by ballistic missiles and weapons of mass
        destruction to the national territory of the United States
        continue to grow as the trend in ballistic missile
        proliferation and development is toward longer range and
        increasingly sophisticated missiles.
            (2) Russian and Chinese sources continue to proliferate
        missile and other advanced technologies.
            (3) North Korea is developing the Taepo-Dong 2 missile,
        which would have a range sufficient to strike Alaska and
        Hawaii, and other countries hostile to the United States,
        including Iran, Libya, and Iraq, have demonstrated an interest
        in acquiring or developing ballistic missiles capable of
        reaching the United States.
            (4) Russia's increased reliance on nuclear forces to
        compensate for the decline of its conventional forces and
        uncertainty regarding command and control of those nuclear
        forces increase the possibility of an accidental or
        unauthorized launch of Russian ballistic missiles.
            (5) The United States could be deterred from effectively
        promoting or protecting its national interests around the world
        if any State or territory of the United States is vulnerable to
        long-range ballistic missiles deployed by nations hostile to
        the United States.
    (b) Sense of the Congress Concerning National Missile Defense
Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) any national missile defense system deployed by the
        United States must provide effective defense against limited,
        accidental, or unauthorized ballistic missile attack for all 50
        States; and
            (2) the territories of the United States should be afforded

        transferring such subsection to appear after subsection (g);
        and
            (2) by striking out subsections (a) and (b) and inserting
        in lieu thereof the following new subsections:
    ``(a) Reporting and Study Requirements as Precondition to Change in
Performance.--A commercial or industrial type function of the
Department of Defense that, as of October 1, 1980, was being performed
by Department of Defense civilian employees may not be changed to
performance by a private contractor or changed to procurement through a
private contractor until the Secretary of Defense fully complies with
the reporting and study requirements specified in subsections (b) and
(c).
    ``(b) Notification and Elements of Study.--(1) Before commencing to
study a commercial or industrial type function described in subsection
(a) for possible change to performance by a private contractor or
possible change to procurement through a private contractor, the
Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report containing the
following:
            ``(A) The function to be studied for possible change.
            ``(B) The location at which the function is performed by
        Department of Defense civilian employees.
            ``(C) The number of civilian employee positions potentially
        affected.
            ``(D) The anticipated length and cost of the study.
            ``(E) A certification that the performance of the
        commercial or industrial type function by civilian employees of
        the Department of Defense is not precluded due to any
        constraint or limitation in terms of man years, end strengths,
        full-time equivalent positions, or maximum number of employees.
    ``(2) The responsibility of the Secretary of Defense to submit the
report required under paragraph (1) may be delegated only to senior
acquisition executives or higher officials for the military departments
and the Defense Agencies.

        by a private contractor or change to procurement through a
        private contractor will result in savings to the Government
        over the life of the contract, including in the comparison--
                    ``(i) the amount estimated by the Secretary of
                Defense (based on bids received) to be the amount of a
                contract for performance of the function by a private
                contractor;
                    ``(ii) the cost to the Government of Department of
                Defense civilian employees performing the function; and
                    ``(iii) the costs and expenditures which the
                Government would incur (in addition to the amount of
                the contract) because of the award of such a contract.
            ``(B) An examination of the potential economic effect of
        performance of the function by a private contractor--
                    ``(i) on employees who would be affected by such a
                change in performance; and
                    ``(ii) on the local community and the Government,
                if more than 75 employees perform the function.
            ``(C) An examination of the effect of performance of the
        function by a private contractor on the military mission of the
        function.
    ``(4) If the commercial or industrial type function at issue
involves a working-capital fund in the Department of Defense and the
study concerns the possible procurement by a requisitioning agency of
services or supplies from a private contractor instead of the working-
capital fund, in lieu of the comparison required by paragraph (3), the
study shall include a comparison of the sources of the services or
supplies to determine which source is more cost-effective for the
requisitioning agency.
    ``(5) An individual or entity at a facility where a commercial or
industrial type function is studied for possible change in performance
may raise an objection to the study on the grounds that the report
required under paragraph (1) as a precondition for the study does not
contain the certification required by subparagraph (E) of such
paragraph. The objection may be raised at any time during the course of
the study, shall be in writing, and shall be submitted to the Secretary
of Defense. If the Secretary determines that the certification was
omitted, the commercial or industrial type function covered by the
study may not be the subject of request for proposal or award of a
contract until a certification is made that fully complies with
paragraph (1)(E) and the other requirements of this section are
satisfied.
    ``(c) Notification of Decision.--(1) If, as a result of the
completion of a study under subsection (b)(3), a decision is made to
change the commercial or industrial type function that was the subject
of the study to performance by a private contractor or to procurement
through a private contractor, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to
Congress a report describing that decision. The report shall--
            ``(A) indicate that the study under subsection (b)(3) has
        been completed;
            ``(B) certify that the Government calculation for the cost
        of performance of the function by Department of Defense
        civilian employees is based on an estimate of the most
        efficient and cost effective organization for performance of
        the function by Department of Defense civilian employees;
            ``(C) certify that the comparison required by subsection
        (b)(3)(A) (or alternatively by subsection (b)(4)) as part of
        the study demonstrates that the performance of the function by
        a private contractor or procurement of the function through a
        private contractor will result in savings to the Government
        over the life of the contract;
            ``(D) certify that the entire comparison is available for
        examination; and
            ``(E) contain a timetable for completing change of the
        function to contractor performance.
    ``(2) The actual change of the function to contractor performance
may not begin until after the submission of the report required by this
subsection.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--(1) Subsections (e)(2) and (f)(1) of
such section are amended by striking out ``converted'' and inserting in
lieu thereof ``changed''.
    (2) Subsection (f)(2) of such section is amended by striking out
``conversion'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``change''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall take
effect on the date of the enactment of this Act but shall not apply
with respect to conversion of a function of the Department of Defense
to performance by a private contractor concerning which the Secretary
of Defense provided to Congress, before the date of the enactment of
this Act, a notification under paragraph (1) of section 2461(a) of
title 10, United States Code, as in effect on the day before the date
of the enactment of this Act.

              GOVERNMENT-OPERATED CORE LOGISTICS CAPABILITY.

    Section 2464 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding
at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(c) Rule of Construction.--The requirement under subsection (a)
that the Department of Defense maintain a core logistics capability
that is Government-owned and Government-operated is not satisfied when
a core logistics workload is converted to contractor performance even
though the actual performance of the workload will be carried out in a
Government-owned, Government-operated facility of the Department of
Defense as a subcontractor of the private contractor. Nothing in
section 2474 of this title or section 337 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337; 108 Stat.
2717) authorizes the use of subcontracts as a means to provide
workloads to Government-owned, Government-operated facilities of the
Department of Defense in order to satisfy paragraph (4) of subsection
(a).''.

        smartcard programs in the Department; and
            (B) coordinating smartcard programs with the Joint Staff,
        the Secretaries of the military departments, and the directors
        of the Defense Agencies.
    (2) After the date of the enactment of this Act, funds appropriated
for the Department of Defense may not be obligated for a smartcard
program unless the program is reviewed and approved by the Smartcard
Technology Office. The review and approval before that date of a
smartcard program by the Office is sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of this paragraph.
    (c) Types of Oversight.--As part of its oversight responsibilities,
the Smartcard Technology Office shall establish standards designed--
            (1) to ensure the compatibility and interoperability of

        uneconomical smartcard programs.

SEC. 334. CONDITIONS ON EXPANSION OF FUNCTIONS PERFORMED UNDER PRIME
              VENDOR CONTRACTS.

    (a) Prime Vendor Contract Defined.--For purposes of this section,
the term ``prime vendor contract'' means an innovative contract that
gives a defense contractor the responsibility to manage, store, and
distribute inventory, manage and provide services, or manage and
perform research, on behalf of the Department of Defense on a frequent,
regular basis, for users within the Department on request. The term
includes contracts commonly referred to as prime vendor support
contracts, flexible sustainment contracts, and direct vendor delivery
contracts.
    (b) Conditions on Expanded Use.--If the Secretary of Defense or the
Secretary of a military department proposes to enter into a prime
vendor contract for a hardware system, including the performance or
management of depot-level maintenance and repair (as defined in section
2460 of title 10, United States Code) or logistics management
responsibilities, the Secretary may not enter into the prime vendor
contract until the end of the 60-day period beginning on the date on
which the Secretary submits to Congress a report, specific to that
proposal, that--
            (1) describes the competitive procedures to be used to
        award the prime vendor contract;
            (2) evaluates the effect of the prime vendor contract on
        working-capital funds in the Department of Defense; and
            (3) contains a cost/benefit analysis that demonstrates that
        use of the prime vendor contract will result in savings to the
        Government over the life of the contract.

        Code, applicable to depot-level maintenance and repair.
    (d) Relationship to Other Laws.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to exempt a prime vendor contract from the requirements of
section 2461 of title 10, United States Code, or any other provision of
chapter 146 of such title.

SEC. 335. CLARIFICATION OF DEFINITION OF DEPOT-LEVEL MAINTENANCE AND
              REPAIR.

    Section 2460(a) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by
inserting before the period at the end of the first sentence the
following: ``or the location at which the maintenance or repair is
performed''.

SEC. 336. CLARIFICATION OF COMMERCIAL ITEM EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENTS
              REGARDING CORE LOGISTICS CAPABILITIES.

    Section 2464(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(A)'' after ``(5)'';
            (2) by adding at the end of subparagraph (A), as so
        designated, the following: ``The determination of whether a
        modification is minor shall be based on a comparison of only
        the critical systems of the version sold in the commercial
        marketplace and the version purchased by the Government, and a
        modification may not be considered to be minor unless at least
        90 percent of the total content by component value remains
        identical.''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
    ``(B) In this paragraph, the term `substantial quantities' means,
with respect to determining whether an item is a commercial item, that
purchases and leases of the item to the general public constitute the
majority of all transactions involving the item at the time the
exception under paragraph (3) is proposed to be exercised.''.

SEC. 337. DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF CORE LOGISTICS
              CAPABILITIES FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF C-17 AIRCRAFT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The C-17 aircraft, which is replacing the C-141
        aircraft, will serve as the cornerstone of heavy airlift
        capability of the Armed Forces.
            (2) The C-17 aircraft achieved initial operational
        capability in January 1995 and will complete the significant
        fourth year of its operational capability in January 1999.
            (3) As provided in section 2464(a)(3) of title 10, United
        States Code, the C-17 aircraft is a weapon system that is
        ``necessary to enable the armed forces to fulfill the strategic
        and contingency plans prepared by the Chairman of the Joint
        Chiefs of Staff''.
            (4) The depot-level maintenance and repair of such a weapon
        system must be performed at Government-owned, Government-
        operated facilities of the Department of Defense in order to
        maintain the core logistics capabilities of the Department of
        Defense, as required under such section 2464.
            (5) The sole-source contract entered into in January 1998
        regarding the depot-level maintenance and repair of C-17
        aircraft and related tasks, known as the Interim Contract for
        the C-17 Flexible Sustainment Program, does not meet the
        requirements of law.
    (b) Plan Required.--Not later than March 1, 1999, the Secretary of
the Air Force shall submit to Congress a plan for the establishment of
the core logistics capabilities for the C-17 aircraft consistent with
the requirements of section 2464 of title 10, United States Code.
    (c) Effect on Existing Contract.--After March 1, 1999, the
Secretary of the Air Force may not extend the Interim Contract for the
C-17 Flexible Sustainment Program until after the end of the 60-day
period beginning on the date the plan required by subsection (b) is
received by Congress.
    (d) Comptroller General Review.--During the period specified in
subsection (c), the Comptroller General shall review the plan required
under subsection (b) and submit to Congress a report evaluating the
merits of the plan.

SEC. 338. CONTRACTOR-OPERATED CIVIL ENGINEERING SUPPLY STORES PROGRAM.

    (a) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) The term ``contractor-operated civil engineering supply
        store'' means a Government-owned facility that, as of the date
        of the enactment of this Act, is operated by a contractor under
        the contractor-operated civil engineering supply store (COCESS)
        program of the Department of the Air Force for the purpose of--
                    (A) maintaining inventories of civil engineering
                supplies on behalf of a military department; and
                    (B) furnishing such supplies to the department as
                needed.
            (2) The term ``civil engineering supplies'' means parts and
        supplies needed for the repair and maintenance of military
        installations.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 1970, the Strategic Air Command of the Air Force
        began to use contractor-operated civil engineering supply
        stores to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of materials
        management and relieve the Air Force from having to maintain
        large inventories of civil engineering supplies.
            (2) Contractor-operated civil engineering supply stores are
        designed to support the civil engineering and public works
        efforts of the Armed Forces through the provision of quality
        civil engineering supplies at competitive prices and within a
        reasonable period of time.
            (3) Through the use of a contractor-operated civil
        engineering supply store, a guaranteed inventory level of civil
        engineering supplies is maintained at a military installation,
        which ensures that urgently needed civil engineering supplies
        are available on site.
            (4) The contractor operating the contractor-operated civil
        engineering supply store is an independent business
        organization whose customer is a military department and the
        Armed Forces and who is subject to all the rules of private
        business and the regulations of the Government.
            (5) The use of contractor-operated civil engineering supply
        stores ensures the best price and best buy for the Government.
            (6) Ninety-five percent of the cost savings realized
        through the use of contractor-operated civil engineering supply
        stores is due to savings in the cost of actually procuring
        supplies.
            (7) In the past 30 years, private contractors have never
        lost a cost comparison conducted pursuant to the criteria set
        forth in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 for the
        provision of civil engineering supplies to the Government.
    (c) Conditions on Multi-Function Contracts.--A civil engineering
supplies function that is performed, as of the date of the enactment of
this Act, by a contractor-operated civil engineering supply store may
not be combined with another supply function or any service function,
including any base operating support function, for purposes of
competition or contracting, until--
            (1) the Secretary of Defense submits to Congress a report--
                    (A) notifying Congress of the proposed combined
                competition or contract; and
                    (B) explaining why a combined competition or
                contract is the best method by which to achieve cost
                savings and efficiencies to the Government; and
            (2) the Comptroller General reviews the report and submits
        to Congress a briefing regarding whether the cost savings and
        efficiencies identified in the report are achievable.
    (d) Relationship to Other Laws.--If a civil engineering supplies
function covered by subsection (c) is proposed for combination with a
supply or service function that is subject to the study and reporting

        personal property shipping services and for the award of
        individual orders to such contractors;
            (3) assure ready access of the Department of Defense to a

        demand for such services;
            (4) assure maximum practicable opportunities for small

forwarder, or broker regularly providing personal property shipping
services that is approved by the Military Traffic Management Command to
provide such services to the Department of Defense is eligible to
participate in the CLASS Demonstration Program. A motor carrier
providing domestic personal property shipping services shall not be
precluded from providing such services to international destinations
through an affiliated freight forwarder.
    (2) If a motor carrier is affiliated with another motor carrier or
freight forwarder that also seeks qualification to participate in the
CLASS Demonstration Program, the affiliate must demonstrate that it
also conducts independent regular motor carrier operations using motor
vehicles or independent freight forwarding services described in
subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of section 13102(8) of title 49, United

forwarder or motor carrier that also seeks qualification to participate
in the program, the affiliate must demonstrate that it also conducts
regular independent operations.
    (b) Move Management Services Providers.--The test plan may provide

shall be offered participation in the CLASS Demonstration Program on
the basis of their best value CLASS score. Each eligible service
provider's best value CLASS score shall be computed in a manner that

                received personal property shipping services during a
                specified six-month rating period prior to the

                    (B) a rating of comparable personal property
                shipping services provided to non-Department of Defense
                customers during the same rating period, if an eligible
                provider did not make a sufficient number of military
                personal property shipments during the rating period to
                be assigned a rating pursuant to subparagraph (A).
            (2) Participation by quality service providers.--A minimum

                selection by a member of the Armed Forces using the
                CLASS Demonstration Program shall be honored if the
                selection does not conflict with subparagraph (A) or
                (B) and the need to maintain adequate capacity.
            (6) Performance evaluation during the term of the
        demonstration program.--The CLASS Demonstration Program shall

    (b) Implementation.--The Secretary of Defense may not initiate any
project under section 2012 of title 10, United States Code, after
October 1, 1998, until the program required by subsection (i) of that

           Subtitle D--Decorations, Awards, and Commendations

SEC. 531. STUDY OF NEW DECORATIONS FOR INJURY OR DEATH IN LINE OF DUTY.

    (a) Determination of Criteria for New Decoration.--(1) The
Secretary of Defense shall determine the appropriate name, policy,
award criteria, and design for two possible new decorations.
    (2) The first such decoration would, if implemented, be awarded to
members of the Armed Forces who, while serving under competent
authority in any capacity with the Armed Forces, are killed or injured
in the line of duty as a result of noncombat circumstances occurring--
            (A) as a result of an international terrorist attack
        against the United States or a foreign nation friendly to the

        peacekeeping force.
    (3) The second such decoration would, if implemented, be awarded to
civilian nationals of the United States who, while serving under
competent authority in any capacity with the Armed Forces, are killed
or injured in the line of duty under circumstances which, if they were
members of the Armed Forces, would qualify them for award of the Purple
Heart or the medal described in paragraph (2).
    (b) Limitation on Implementation.--Any such decoration may only be
implemented as provided by a law enacted after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
    (c) Recommendation to Congress.--Not later than July 31, 1999, the

    (a) Waiver of Time Limitation.--Any limitation established by law
or policy for the time within which a recommendation for the award of a
military decoration or award must be submitted shall not apply in the

of the Distinguished Flying Cross for service during World War II or

SEC. 533. COMMENDATION OF THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS PERSONNEL WHO
              SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY ASIATIC FLEET FROM 1910-
              1942.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States established the Asiatic Fleet of the
        Navy in 1910 to protect American nationals, policies, and
        possessions in the Far East.
            (2) The sailors and Marines of the Asiatic Fleet ensured
        the safety of United States citizens and foreign nationals, and
        provided humanitarian assistance in that region during the
        Chinese civil war, the Yangtze Flood of 1931, and the outbreak
        of Sino-Japanese hostilities.
            (3) In 1940, due to deteriorating political relations and
        increasing tensions between the United States and Japan, a
        reinforced Asiatic Fleet began concentrating on the defense of
        the Philippines and engaged in extensive training to ensure
        maximum operational readiness for any eventuality.
            (4) Following the declaration of war against Japan in
        December 1941, the warships, submarines, and aircraft of the
        Asiatic Fleet singly or in task forces courageously fought many
        battles against a superior Japanese armada.
            (5) The Asiatic Fleet directly suffered the loss of 22
        vessels, 1,826 men killed or missing in action, and 518 men
        captured and imprisoned under the worst of conditions, with
        many of them dying while held as prisoners of war.
    (b) Congressional Commendation.--Congress--
            (1) commends the Navy and Marine Corps personnel who served
        in the Asiatic Fleet of the United States Navy between 1910 and
        1942; and
            (2) honors those who gave their lives in the line of duty
        while serving in the Asiatic Fleet.

SEC. 534. APPRECIATION FOR SERVICE DURING WORLD WAR I AND WORLD WAR II
              BY MEMBERS OF THE NAVY ASSIGNED ON BOARD MERCHANT SHIPS
              AS THE NAVAL ARMED GUARD SERVICE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Navy established a special force during both World
        War I and World War II, known as the Naval Armed Guard Service,
        to protect merchant ships of the United States from enemy
        attack by stationing members of the Navy and weapons on board
        those ships.
            (2) Members of the Naval Armed Guard Service served on
        6,236 merchant ships during World War II, of which 710 were
        sunk by enemy action.
            (3) Over 144,900 members of the Navy served in the Naval
        Armed Guard Service during World War II as officers, gun
        crewmen, signalmen, and radiomen, of whom 1,810 were killed in
        action.
            (4) The efforts of the members of the Naval Armed Guard
        Service played a significant role in the safe passage of United
        States merchant ships to their destinations in the Soviet Union
        and various locations in western Europe and the Pacific
        Theater.
            (5) The efforts of the members of the Navy who served in
        the Naval Armed Guard Service have been largely overlooked due
        to the rapid disbanding of the service after World War II and
        lack of adequate records.
            (6) Recognition of the service of the naval personnel who
        served in the Naval Armed Guard Service is highly warranted and
        long overdue.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--Congress expresses its appreciation,
and the appreciation of the American people, for the dedicated service
performed during World War I and World War II by members of the Navy
assigned as gun crews on board merchant ships as part of the Naval
Armed Guard Service.

SEC. 535. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE HEROISM, SACRIFICE, AND

              UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES DURING THE VIETNAM CONFLICT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) South Vietnam, Australia, South Korea, Thailand, New

        conducted in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict.
            (3) The contributions of these combat forces continued
        through long years of armed conflict.
            (4) As a result, in addition to the United States
        casualties exceeding 210,000, this willingness to participate
        in the Vietnam conflict resulted in the death, and wounding of
        more than 1,000,000 military personnel from South Vietnam and
        16,000 from other allied nations.
            (5) The service of the Vietnamese, indigenous groups, and
        other allied nations was repeatedly marked by exceptional
        heroism and sacrifice, with particularly noteworthy
        contributions being made by the Vietnamese airborne, commando,
        infantry and ranger units, the Republic of Korea marines, the
        Capital and White Horse divisions, the Royal Thai Army Black
        Panther Division, the Royal Australian Regiment, the New
        Zealand ``V'' force, and the 1st Philippine Civic Action Group.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--Congress recognizes and honors the
members and former members of the military forces of South Vietnam, the
Republic of Korea, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and the
Philippines, as well as members of the Hmong, Nung, Montagnard, Kahmer,
Hoa Hao, and Cao Dai, for their heroism, sacrifice and service in
connection with United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam conflict.

SEC. 536. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE HEROISM, SACRIFICE, AND
              SERVICE OF FORMER SOUTH VIETNAMESE COMMANDOS IN
              CONNECTION WITH UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES DURING THE
              VIETNAM CONFLICT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) South Vietnamese commandos were recruited by the United
        States as part of OPLAN 34A or its predecessor or OPLAN 35 from
        1961 to 1970.
            (2) The commandos conducted covert operations in North
        Vietnam during the Vietnam conflict.
            (3) Many of the commandos were captured and imprisoned by
        North Vietnamese forces, some for as long as 20 years.
            (4) The commandos served and fought proudly during the
        Vietnam conflict.
            (5) Many of the commandos lost their lives serving in
        operations conducted by the United States during the Vietnam
        conflict.
            (6) Many of the Vietnamese commandos now reside in the
        United States.
    (b) Sense of the Congress--Congress recognizes and honors the
former South Vietnamese commandos for their heroism, sacrifice, and
service in connection with United States armed forces during the
Vietnam conflict.

        capitation methodology without first conducting a demonstration
        project for implementation of such methodology.
            (3) The impact that implementation of an enrollment based
        capitation methodology would have on the provision of space-
        available care at military medical treatment facilities,
        particularly in the case of care for--
                    (A) military retirees entitled who are entitled to
                hospital insurance benefits under part A of title XVIII

        capitation methodology would have with respect to the pharmacy
        benefits provided at military medical treatment facilities,

        fund military medical treatment facilities based on the number
        of members at such facilities enrolled in TRICARE Prime, but

        medical treatment facility pharmacies.
            (5) An explanation of how additional funding will be
        provided for a military medical treatment facility if an
        enrollment-based capitation methodology is implemented to
        ensure that space-available care and pharmacy coverage can be
        provided to covered beneficiaries who are not enrolled at the
        military medical treatment facility, and the amount of funding
        that will be available.
            (6) An explanation of how implementation of an enrollment-
        based capitation methodology would impact the provision of
        uniform benefits under TRICARE Prime, and how the Secretary
        would ensure, if such methodology were implemented, that the
        provision of health care under TRICARE Prime would not be

SEC. 905. INDEPENDENT TASK FORCE ON TRANSFORMATION AND DEPARTMENT OF
              DEFENSE ORGANIZATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The post-Cold War era is marked by geopolitical
        uncertainty and by accelerating technological change,
        particularly with regard to information technologies.
            (2) The combination of that geopolitical uncertainty and
        accelerating technological change portends a transformation in
        the conduct of war, particularly in ways that are likely to
        increase the effectiveness of joint force operations.
            (3) The Department of Defense must be organized
        appropriately in order to fully exploit the opportunities
        offered by, and to meet the challenges posed by, this
        anticipated transformation in the conduct of war.
            (4) The basic organization of the Department of Defense was
        established by the National Security Act of 1947 and the 1949
        amendments to that Act.
            (5) The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense
        Reorganization Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-433) dramatically
        improved the capability of the Department of Defense to carry
        out operations involving joint forces, but did not address
        adequately issues pertaining to the development of joint
        forces.
            (6) In the future, the ability to achieve improved
        operations of joint forces, particularly under rapidly changing
        technological conditions, will depend on improved force
        development for joint forces.
    (b) Independent Task Force on Transformation and Department of
Defense Organization.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a task
force of the Defense Science Board to examine the current organization
of the Department of Defense with regard to the appropriateness of that
organization for preparing for a transformation in the conduct of war.
The task force shall be established not later than November 1, 1998.
    (c) Duties of the Task Force.--The task force shall assess, and
shall make recommendations for the appropriate organization of, the
Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the
individual Armed Forces, and the executive parts of the military
departments for the purpose of preparing the Department of Defense for
a transformation in the conduct of war. In making those assessments and
developing those recommendations, the task force shall review the
following:
            (1) The general organization of the Department of Defense,
        including whether responsibility and authority for issues
        relating to a transformation in the conduct of war are
        appropriately allocated, especially among the Office of the
        Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the
        individual Armed Forces.
            (2) The joint requirements process and the requirements

        of the civilian provisions of the Dayton Accords.
            (5) The Administration has not specified how long such an
        achievement will take and, therefore, the mission of United

        Herzegovina is of indefinite duration.

later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and

        waiver allowing the export of satellite technology to the

         TITLE XIV--DEFENSE AGAINST WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Defense Against Weapons of Mass
Destruction Act of 1998''.

SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Many nations currently possess weapons of mass
        destruction and related materials and technologies, and such
        weapons are increasingly available to a variety of sources
        through legitimate and illegitimate means.
            (2) The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is
        growing, and will likely continue despite the best efforts of
        the international community to limit their flow.
            (3) The increased availability, relative affordability, and
        ease of use of weapons of mass destruction may make the use of
        such weapons an increasingly attractive option to potential
        adversaries who are not otherwise capable of countering United
        States military superiority.
            (4) On November 12, 1997, President Clinton issued an
        Executive Order stating that ``the proliferation of nuclear,
        biological, and chemical weapons (``weapons of mass
        destruction'') and the means of delivering such weapons
        constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
        security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States''
        and declaring a national emergency to deal with that threat.
            (5) The Quadrennial Defense Review concluded that the
        threat or use of weapons of mass destruction is a likely
        condition of future warfare and poses a potential threat to the
        United States.
            (6) The United States lacks adequate preparedness at the
        Federal, State, and local levels to respond to a potential
        attack on the United States involving weapons of mass
        destruction.
            (7) The United States has initiated an effort to enhance
        the capability of Federal, State, and local governments as well
        as local emergency response personnel to prevent and respond to
        a domestic terrorist incident involving weapons of mass
        destruction.
            (8) More than 40 Federal departments, agencies, and bureaus
        are involved in combating terrorism, and many, including the
        Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the
        Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human
        Services, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, are
        executing programs to provide civilian personnel at the
        Federal, State, and local levels with training and assistance
        to prevent and respond to incidents involving weapons of mass
        destruction.
            (9) The Department of Energy has established a Nuclear
        Emergency Response Team which is available to respond to
        incidents involving nuclear or radiological emergencies.
            (10) The Department of Defense has begun to implement a
        program to train local emergency responders in major cities
        throughout the United States to prevent and respond to
        incidents involving weapons of mass destruction.
            (11) The Department of Justice has established a National
        Center for Domestic Preparedness at Fort McClellan, Alabama, to
        conduct nuclear, biological, and chemical preparedness training
        for Federal, State, and local officials to enhance emergency
        response to incidents involving weapons of mass destruction.
            (12) Despite these activities, Federal agency initiatives
        to enhance domestic preparedness to respond to an incident
        involving weapons of mass destruction are hampered by
        incomplete interagency coordination and overlapping
        jurisdiction of agency missions, for example:
                    (A) The Secretary of Defense has proposed the
                establishment of 10 Rapid Assessment and Initial
                Detection elements, composed of 22 National Guard
                personnel, to provide timely regional assistance to
                local emergency responders during an incident involving
                chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction.
                However, the precise working relationship between these
                National Guard elements, the Federal Emergency
                Management Agency regional offices, and State and local
                emergency response agencies has not yet been
                determined.
                    (B) The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the
                lead Federal agency for consequence management in
                response to a terrorist incident involving weapons of
                mass destruction, has withdrawn from the role of chair
                of the Senior Interagency Coordination Group for
                domestic emergency preparedness, and a successor agency
                to chair the Senior Interagency Coordinator has not yet
                been determined.
                    (C) In order to ensure effective local response
                capabilities to incidents involving weapons of mass
                destruction, the Federal Government, in addition to
                providing training, must concurrently address the need
                for--
                            (i) compatible communications capabilities
                        for all Federal, State, and local emergency
                        responders, which often use different radio
                        systems and operate on different radio
                        frequencies;
                            (ii) adequate equipment necessary for
                        response to an incident involving weapons of
                        mass destruction, and a means to ensure that
                        financially lacking localities have access to
                        such equipment;
                            (iii) local and regional planning efforts
                        to ensure the effective execution of emergency
                        response in the event of an incident involving
                        a weapon of mass destruction; and
                            (iv) increased planning and training to
                        prepare for emergency response capabilities in
                        port areas and littoral waters.
                    (D) The Congress is aware that Presidential
                Decision Directives relating to domestic emergency
                preparedness for response to terrorist incidents
                involving weapons of mass destruction are being
                considered, but agreement has not been reached within
                the executive branch.
