Intelligence Program has been incorporated into the John Warner 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 

Law 109–364). 

The following explains the committee’s clarification to the report 

issued by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. 

CLASSIFIED AND SENSITIVE ANNEX TO THE COMMITTEE REPORT

The committee has prepared a classified annex to this report that 

describes other recommendations and concerns that are classified 

and sensitive in nature. 

COBRA JUDY REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

The committee believes that the COBRA JUDY Replacement 

Program is important for ensuring our nation’s ability to acquire 

necessary intelligence on foreign ballistic missile programs and 

their capabilities. The committee strongly supports development 

and integration of this sophisticated solid-state phased array radar 

technology and ship as a prudent investment in intelligence collection that monitors foreign threats and supports the acquisition of 

our ballistic missile defensive systems. The COBRA JUDY Replacement Program will replace the USNS Observation Island, which is 

due to leave service in 2012, and will satisfy vital intelligence requirements necessary for the acquisition of defensive systems designed to defend the nation from ballistic missile attack. Therefore, 

the committee urges the conferees on the Intelligence Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2007 to preserve for this important program in 

fiscal year 2007. The committee further urges the continued funding in the Future Years Defense Program of the COBRA JUDY Replacement Program by the Secretary of Defense and the Director 

of National Intelligence (DNI) in order to support national defense 

requirements. 

SPACE RADAR

The committee notes that the DNI is conducting a study to determine future collections architectures. One of the elements of the 

study is a space radar capability. The committee firmly believes 

that only one space radar capability is affordable in the future and 

urges the DNI and the Secretary of Defense to develop a joint 

space radar program if there is a requirement for such a capability. 

The committee, notwithstanding any other direction, strongly encourages the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to direct the 

DNI to participate in the study required in the statement of managers (H. Rept 109–702) accompanying the John Warner National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109–

364). DNI participation is required to determine respective roles 

and missions of the military and intelligence communities in the 

development of a space radar program, including requirements, 

cost-sharing, acquisition strategy, and operational concepts. The 

committee also believes that for the DNI not to participate in a 

joint study to understand space radar requirements, guided by the 

collections architecture, would be a mistake that could result in a 

significant waste of taxpayer dollars.

COMMITTEE ACTION

In accordance with the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, as 

amended by the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, the committee’s vote to report the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2007 was by voice vote. 

FISCAL DATA

The committee will publish in the Congressional Record information on 5-year cost projections when such information is received 

from the Congressional Budget Office. 

REGULATORY IMPACT

Paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate requires that a report on the regulatory impact of a bill be included in the report on the bill. The committee finds that there is 

no regulatory impact in the cost of S. 372, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007. 

CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW

Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 12 of rule XXVI of the 

Standing Rules of the Senate, the changes in existing law made by 

certain portions of the bill have not been shown in this section of 

the report because, in the opinion of the committee, it is necessary 

to dispense with showing such changes in order to expedite the 

business of the Senate and reduce the expenditure of funds.
