1 (1) The United States Marine Corps is a combat 

2 force which leverages maneuver from the sea as a force 

3 multiplier allowing for a variety of operational tasks 

4 ranging from major combat operations to humani5 tarian assistance. 

6 (2) The United States Marine Corps is unique in 

7 that, while embarked upon Naval vessels, they bring 

8 all the logistic support necessary for the full range of 

9 military operations, operating ‘‘from the sea’’ they re10 quire no third party host nation permission to con11 duct military operations. 

12 (3) The Department of the Navy has a require13 ment for 38 amphibious assault ships to meet this full 

14 range of military operations. 

15 (4) Due to fiscal constraints only, that require16 ment of 38 vessels was reduced to 33 vessels, which 

17 adds military risk to future operations. 

18 (5) The Department of the Navy has been unable 

19 to meet even the minimal requirement of 30 oper20 ationally available vessels and has submitted a ship21 building and ship retirement plan to Congress which 

22 will reduce the force to 28 vessels. 

23 (6) Experience has shown that early engineering 

24 and design of naval vessels has significantly reduced 
41 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 the acquisition costs and life-cycle costs of those ves2 sels. 

3 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 

4 that— 

5 (1) the Department of Defense should carefully 

6 evaluate the maritime force structure necessary to exe7 cute demand for forces by the commanders of the com8 batant commands; 

9 (2) the Department of the Navy carefully evalu10 ate amphibious lift capabilities to meet current and 

11 projected requirements; 

12 (3) the Department of the Navy should consider 

13 prioritization of investment in and procurement of 

14 the next generation of amphibious assault ships, as a 

15 component of the balanced battle force; 

16 (4) the next generation amphibious assault ships 

17 should maintain survivability protection; 

18 (5) operation and maintenance requirements 

19 analysis, as well as the potential to leverage a com20 mon hull form design, should be considered to reduce 

21 total ownership cost and acquisition cost; and 

22 (6) maintaining a robust amphibious ship build23 ing industrial base is vital for the future of the na24 tional security of the United States.

5 Subtitle C—Missile Defense Matters 

6 SEC. 231. HOMELAND BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

8 (1) The Ballistic Missile Defense Review of Feb9 ruary 2010 stated as its first policy priority that ‘‘the 

10 United States will continue to defend the homeland 

11 against the threat of limited ballistic missile attack’’ 

12 and that ‘‘an essential element of the United States’ 

13 homeland ballistic missile defense strategy is to hedge 

14 against future uncertainties, including both the un15 certainty of future threat capabilities and the tech16 nical risks inherent to our own development plans’’. 

17 (2) The United States currently has an oper18 ational Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) sys19 tem with 30 Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs) de20 ployed in Alaska and California, protecting the 

21 United States against the potential future threat of 

22 limited ballistic missile attack from countries such as 

23 North Korea and Iran. 

24 (3) As Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

25 Nuclear and Missile Defense Policy Bradley Roberts 
65 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 testified before the Committee on Armed Services of 

2 the Senate on April 25, 2012, ‘‘[w]ith 30 GBIs in 

3 place, the United States is in an advantageous posi4 tion vis-a`-vis the threats from North Korea and 

5 Iran,’’ and ‘‘neither has successfully tested an ICBM 

6 or demonstrated an ICBM-class warhead’’. 

7 (4) Deputy Assistant Secretary Roberts testified 

8 that maintaining this advantageous position ‘‘re9 quires continued improvement to the GMD system, 

10 including enhanced performance by the GBIs and the 

11 deployment of new sensors. It also requires the devel12 opment of the Precision Tracking Space System 

13 (PTSS) to handle larger raid sizes and the Standard 

14 Missile-3 (SM–3) Block IIB as the ICBM threat from 

15 states like Iran and North Korea matures. These ef16 forts will help to ensure that the United States pos17 sesses the capability to counter the projected threat for 

18 the foreseeable future’’. 

19 (5) As its highest priority, the Missile Defense 

20 Agency is designing a correction to the problem that 

21 caused a December 2010 flight test failure of the 

22 Ground-based Midcourse Defense system using the Ca23 pability Enhancement II (CE–II) model of exo-atmos24 pheric kill vehicle, and plans to demonstrate the cor25 rection in two flight tests before resuming production 
66 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 or assembly of additional Capability Enhancement II 

2 kill vehicles. 

3 (6) The Department of Defense has a program to 

4 improve the performance and reliability of the 

5 Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, including a 

6 plan to test every component of the Ground-Based 

7 Interceptors for reliability. According to Department 

8 of Defense officials, the goal of the Ground-Based In9 terceptor reliability program is to double the number 

10 of threat Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) 

11 that our current inventory of Ground-Based Intercep12 tors could defeat, thereby effectively doubling the ca13 pability of our current Ground-based Midcourse De14 fense system. 

15 (7) The Missile Defense Agency, working with the 

16 Director of Operational Test and Evaluation and 

17 with United States Strategic Command, has devel18 oped a comprehensive Integrated Master Test Plan 

19 (IMTP) for missile defense, with flight tests for the 

20 Ground-based Midcourse Defense system planned 

21 through fiscal year 2022, including salvo testing, mul22 tiple simultaneous engagement testing, and oper23 ational testing. 

24 (8) The Director of Operational Test and Eval25 uation, who must review, approve, and sign each 
67 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 semi-annual version of the Integrated Master Test 

2 Plan, testified that the Test Plan is ‘‘a robust and 

3 rigorous test plan’’. He also testified that the current 

4 pace of Ground-based Midcourse Defense system test5 ing of one flight test per year is the ‘‘best that we’ve 

6 been able to achieve over a decade’’. 

7 (9) The Director of the Missile Defense Agency 

8 testified before the Committee on Armed Services of 

9 the Senate on April 25, 2012, that flight testing the 

10 Ground-based Midcourse Defense system more often 

11 than once per year could cause ‘‘greater risk of fur12 ther failure and setbacks to developing our homeland 

13 defense capability as rapidly as possible’’. 

14 (10) As part of its homeland defense hedging 

15 strategy, the Department of Defense has already de16 cided upon or implemented a number of actions to 

17 improve the missile defense posture of the United 

18 States in case the threat of Intercontinental Ballistic 

19 Missiles from North Korea or Iran emerges sooner or 

20 in greater numbers than anticipated. These include 

21 the following actions: 

22 (A) The Missile Defense Agency has com23 pleted construction of Missile Field-2 at Fort 

24 Greely, Alaska, with eight extra silos available to 
68 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 deploy additional operational Ground-Based 

2 Interceptors, if needed. 

3 (B) With its request for 5 additional 

4 Ground-Based Interceptors in the budget of the 

5 President for fiscal year 2013, the Missile De6 fense Agency plans to have enough test and spare 

7 Ground-Based Interceptors to emplace in the 8 

8 extra silos from 2014 through 2025, and will 

9 keep the Ground-Based Interceptor production 

10 line active for 5 additional years, thus allowing 

11 additional Ground-Based Interceptor purchases 

12 in the future, if needed. 

13 (C) The Department has decided not to de14 commission prototype Missile Field-1 at Fort 

15 Greely but, instead, to keep it in a storage status 

16 that would permit it to be refurbished and reac17 tivated within a few years if future threat devel18 opments make that necessary. 

19 (D) The Missile Defense Agency plans to 

20 build an in-flight interceptor communications 

21 terminal at Fort Drum, New York, to enhance 

22 the performance of Ground-Based Interceptors 

23 defending the eastern United States against pos24 sible future missile threats from Iran. 
69 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (E) The Missile Defense Agency is con2 tinuing the development and testing of the two3 stage Ground-Based Interceptor for possible de4 ployment in the future, if needed. 

5 (F) The Missile Defense Agency is upgrad6 ing early warning radars in Clear, Alaska, and 

7 Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to enhance the ability 

8 to defend against potential multiple future Inter9 continental Ballistic Missile threats from North 

10 Korea and Iran. 

11 (G) The Missile Defense Agency is pursuing 

12 development of the Standard Missile-3 Block IIB 

13 interceptor for Phase 4 of the European Phased 

14 Adaptive Approach. It is intended to augment 

15 the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system as a 

16 cost-effective first layer of defense of the home17 land against a possible future Intercontinental 

18 Ballistic Missile threat from Iran. 

19 (H) The Missile Defense Agency is pursuing 

20 development of the Precision Tracking Space 

21 System, a satellite sensor system to provide per22 sistent tracking of large numbers of missiles in 

23 flight, and fire-control quality targeting data to 

24 various missile defense interceptor systems. Ac25 cording to the Director of the Missile Defense 
70 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 Agency, ‘‘the greatest future enhancement for 

2 both homeland and regional defense in the next 

3 ten years is the development of the Precision 

4 Tracking Space System satellites’’. 

5 (11) As part of its homeland defense hedging 

6 strategy review, the Department of Defense is consid7 ering other options to enhance the future United 

8 States posture to defend the homeland, including the 

9 feasibility, advisability and affordability of deploying 

10 additional Ground-Based Interceptors, either in Alas11 ka or at a missile defense site on the East Coast of 

12 the United States. 

13 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 

14 that— 

15 (1) it is a national priority to defend the home16 land against the potential future threat of limited 

17 ballistic missile attack from countries such as North 

18 Korea and Iran; 

19 (2) the currently deployed Ground-based Mid20 course Defense system, with 30 Ground-Based Inter21 ceptors deployed in Alaska and California, provides 

22 protection of the United States homeland against the 

23 potential future threat of limited ballistic missile at24 tack from North Korea and Iran; 
71 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (3) it is essential for the Ground-based Mid2 course Defense system to achieve the levels of reli3 ability, availability, sustainability, and operational 

4 performance that will allow it to continue providing 

5 protection of the United States homeland against lim6 ited ballistic missile attack; 

7 (4) the Missile Defense Agency should, as its 

8 highest priority, correct the problem that caused the 

9 December 2010 Ground-based Midcourse Defense sys10 tem flight test failure and demonstrate the correction 

11 in flight tests before resuming production of the Capa12 bility Enhancement-II kill vehicle, in order to provide 

13 confidence that the system will work as intended; 

14 (5) the Department of Defense should continue to 

15 enhance the performance and reliability of the 

16 Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, and enhance 

17 the capability of the Ballistic Missile Defense System, 

18 to provide improved capability to defend the home19 land against possible increased future missile threats 

20 from North Korea and Iran; 

21 (6) the Missile Defense Agency should continue 

22 its robust, rigorous, and realistic testing of the 

23 Ground-based Midcourse Defense system at a pace of 

24 one flight test per year, as described in the Integrated 

25 Master Test Plan, including salvo testing, multiple si-
72 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 multaneous engagement testing, and operational test2 ing; 

3 (7) if successfully developed, the Standard Mis4 sile-3 Block IIB interceptor would provide an essen5 tial first layer of defense of the homeland against an 

6 emerging Intercontinental Ballistic Missile threat 

7 from Iran, using a cost-effective forward-based early 

8 intercept system that could permit holding Ground9 Based Interceptors in reserve, and if such interceptor 

10 could be deployed on ships, it would also provide a 

11 significant enhancement to defense against possible 

12 future threats from North Korea; 

13 (8) the Precision Tracking Space System has the 

14 potential to improve dramatically the capability of 

15 homeland and regional missile defense systems 

16 against large numbers of missiles launched simulta17 neously, and should remain a high priority for devel18 opment; 

19 (9) the Department of Defense has taken a num20 ber of prudent, affordable, cost-effective, and oper21 ationally significant steps to hedge against the possi22 bility of future growth in the missile threat to the 

23 homeland from North Korea and Iran; and 

24 (10) the Department of Defense should continue 

25 to evaluate the evolution of the long-range missile

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 threat from North Korea and Iran and consider other 

2 possibilities for prudent, affordable, cost-effective, and 

3 operationally significant steps to improve the posture 

4 of the United States to defend the homeland against 

5 possible future growth in the threat. 

6 (c) REPORT.— 

7 (1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 

8 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 

9 Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional

13 (3) FORM OF REPORT.—The report shall be sub14 mitted in unclassified form, but may include a classi15 fied annex. 

16 SEC. 232. REGIONAL BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE. 

17 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

18 (1) In the introduction to the Ballistic Missile 

19 Defense Review of February 2010, Secretary of De20 fense Robert Gates states that ‘‘I have made defending 

21 against near-term regional threats a top priority of 

22 our missile defense plans, programs and capabilities’’. 

23 (2) In describing the threat of regional ballistic 

24 missiles, the report of the Ballistic Missile Defense Re25 view states that ‘‘there is no uncertainty about the ex-
75 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 istence of regional threats. They are clear and present. 

2 The threat from short-range, medium-range, and in3 termediate-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs, MRBMs, 

4 and IRBMs) in regions where the United States de5 ploys forces and maintains security relationships is 

6 growing at a particularly rapid pace’’. 

7 (3) In testimony before the Committee on Armed 

8 Services of the Senate on April 25, 2012, Dr. Bradley 

9 Roberts, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

10 Nuclear and Missile Defense Policy stated, with re11 spect to regional missile defense, that ‘‘the need arises 

12 from the rapidly emerging threats to our armed forces 

13 in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia from re14 gional missile proliferators and the basic challenge 

15 such proliferation poses to the safety and security of 

16 our forces and allies and to our power projection 

17 strategy’’. 

18 (4) Iran has the largest inventory of regional 

19 ballistic missiles in the Middle East, with hundreds 

20 of missiles that can reach southeastern Europe and 

21 all of the Middle East, including Israel. Iran is im22 proving its existing missiles and developing new and 

23 longer-range missiles. 

24 (5) North Korea has a large and growing inven25 tory of short-range and medium-range ballistic mis-
76 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 siles that can reach United States forces and allies in 

2 South Korea and Japan. North Korea is improving 

3 its existing missiles and developing new and longer4 range missiles. 

5 (6) In September 2009, President Barack Obama 

6 announced that he had accepted the unanimous rec7 ommendation of the Secretary of Defense and the 

8 Joint Chiefs of Staff to establish a European Phased 

9 Adaptive Approach to missile defense, designed to 

10 protect deployed United States forces and allies and 

11 partners in Europe against the large and growing 

12 threat of ballistic missiles from Iran. 

13 (7) In November 2010, at the Lisbon Summit, 

14 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) de15 cided to adopt the core mission of missile defense of 

16 its population, territory and forces. The North Atlan17 tic Treaty Organization agreed to enhance its missile 

18 defense command and control system, the Active Lay19 ered Theater Ballistic Missile Defense, to provide a 

20 North Atlantic Treaty Organization command and 

21 control capability. This is in addition to contribu22 tions of missile defense capability from individual na23 tions. 

24 (8) During 2011, the United States successfully 

25 implemented Phase 1 of the European Phased Adapt-
77 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 ive Approach, including deployment of an AN/TPY– 

2 2 radar in Turkey, deployment of an Aegis Ballistic 

3 Missile Defense ship in the eastern Mediterranean Sea 

4 with Standard Missile-3 Block IA interceptors, and 

5 establishment of a missile defense command and con6 trol system in Germany. 

7 (9) During 2011, the United States successfully 

8 negotiated all the international agreements with 

9 North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies needed to 

10 permit future phases of the European Phased Adapt11 ive Approach, including agreements with Romania 

12 and Poland to permit the deployment of Aegis Ashore 

13 missile defense systems on their territory, an agree14 ment with Turkey to permit deployment of an AN/ 

15 TPY–2 radar on its territory, and an agreement with 

16 Spain to permit the forward stationing of four Aegis 

17 Ballistic Missile Defense ships at Rota. 

18 (10) Phase 2 of the European Phased Adaptive 

19 Approach is planned for deployment in 2015, and is 

20 planned to include the deployment of Standard Mis21 sile-3 Block IB interceptors on Aegis Ballistic Missile 

22 Defense ships and at an Aegis Ashore site in Roma23 nia. 

24 (11) Phase 3 of the European Phased Adaptive 

25 Approach is planned for deployment in 2018, and is 
78 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 planned to include the deployment of Standard Mis2 sile-3 Block IIA interceptors on Aegis Ballistic Missile 

3 Defense ships and at an Aegis Ashore site in Poland. 

4 (12) Phase 4 of the European Phased Adaptive 

5 Approach is planned for deployment in 2020, and is 

6 planned to include the deployment of Standard Mis7 sile-3 Block IIB interceptors at Aegis Ashore sites. 

8 This interceptor is intended to protect both Europe 

9 and the United States against potential future long10 range ballistic missiles from Iran. 

11 (13) At the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

12 Summit in Chicago in 2012, the North Atlantic Trea13 ty Organization plans to announce it has achieved an 

14 ‘‘interim capability’’ for the North Atlantic Treaty 

15 Organization missile defense system, including initial 

16 capability of its Active Layered Theater Ballistic 

17 Missile Defense system at a command and control fa18 cility in Germany. 

19 (14) The United States has a robust program of 

20 missile defense cooperation with Israel, including 

21 joint development of the Arrow Weapon System and 

22 the new Arrow-3 upper tier interceptor, designed to 

23 defend Israel against ballistic missiles from Iran. 

24 These jointly developed missile defense systems are de25 signed to be interoperable with United States ballistic 
79 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 missile defenses, and these interoperable systems are 

2 tested in large military exercises. The United States 

3 has deployed an AN/TPY–2 radar in Israel to en4 hance missile defense against missiles from Iran. 

5 (15) The United States is working with the na6 tions of the Gulf Cooperation Council on enhanced 

7 national and regional missile defense capabilities 

8 against growing missile threats from Iran. As part of 

9 this effort, the United Arab Emirates plans to pur10 chase two batteries of the Terminal High Altitude Air 

11 Defense (THAAD) system, as well as other equipment. 

12 (16) The United States has a strong program of 

13 missile defense cooperation with Japan, including the 

14 co-development of the Standard Missile-3 (SM–3) 

15 Block IIA interceptor for the Aegis Ballistic Missile 

16 Defense system, intended to be deployed by Japan and 

17 in Phase 3 of the European Phased Adaptive Ap18 proach, Japan’s fleet of Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense 

19 ships using the SM–3 Block IA interceptors, and the 

20 United States deployment of an AN/TPY–2 radar in 

21 Japan. 

22 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 

23 that— 

24 (1) the threat from regional ballistic missiles, 

25 particularly from Iran and North Korea, is serious 
80 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 and growing, and puts at risk forward-deployed 

2 United States forces and allies and partners in Eu3 rope, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region; 

4 (2) the Department of Defense has an obligation 

5 to provide force protection of forward-deployed United 

6 States forces, assets, and facilities from regional bal7 listic missile attack; 

8 (3) the United States has an obligation to meet 

9 its security commitments to its allies, including bal10 listic missile defense commitments; 

11 (4) the Department of Defense has a balanced 

12 program of investment and capabilities to provide for 

13 both homeland defense and regional defense against 

14 ballistic missiles, consistent with the Ballistic Missile 

15 Defense Review and with the prioritized and inte16 grated needs of the commanders of the combatant 

17 commands; 

18 (5) the European Phased Adaptive Approach to 

19 missile defense is an appropriate and necessary re20 sponse to the existing and growing ballistic missile 

21 threat from Iran to forward deployed United States 

22 forces and allies and partners in Europe; 

23 (6) the Department of Defense— 

24 (A) should, as a high priority, continue to 

25 develop, test, and plan to deploy all four phases 
81 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 of the European Phased Adaptive Approach, in2 cluding all variants of the Standard Missile-3 

3 interceptor; and 

4 (B) should also continue with its other 

5 phased and adaptive regional missile defense ef6 forts tailored to the Middle East and the Asia7 Pacific region; 

8 (7) European members of the North Atlantic 

9 Treaty Organization are making valuable contribu10 tions to missile defense in Europe, by hosting ele11 ments of United States missile defense systems on 

12 their territories, through individual national con13 tributions to missile defense capability, and by collec14 tive funding and development of the Active Layered 

15 Theater Ballistic Missile Defense system; and 

16 (8) the Department of Defense should continue 

17 with the development of the key enablers of enhanced 

18 regional missile defense, including the Precision 

19 Tracking Space System. 

20 (c) REPORT.— 

21 (1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after 

22 the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of De23 fense shall submit to the congressional defense com24 mittees a report describing the status and progress of 

25 regional missile defense programs and efforts. 
82 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (2) ELEMENTS OF REPORT.—The report required 

2 by paragraph (1) shall include the following: 

3 (A) An assessment of the adequacy of the ex4 isting and planned European Phased Adaptive 

5 Approach to provide force protection for forward 

6 deployed United States forces in Europe against 

7 ballistic missile threats from Iran, and an as8 sessment whether adequate force protection would 

9 be available absent the European Phased Adapt10 ive Approach. 

11 (B) An assessment whether the European 

12 Phased Adaptive Approach and other planned 

13 regional missile defense approaches of the United 

14 States meet the integrated priorities of the com15 manders of the regional combatant commands in 

16 an affordable and balanced manner. 

17 (C) A description of the progress made in 

18 the development and testing of elements of sys19 tems intended for deployment in Phases 2 

20 through 4 of the European Phased Adaptive Ap21 proach, including the Standard Missile-3 Block 

22 IB interceptor and the Aegis Ashore system. 

23 (D) A description of the manner in which 

24 elements of regional missile defense architectures, 

25 such as forward-based X-band radars in Turkey 
83 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 and Japan, contribute to the enhancement of 

2 homeland defense of the United States. 

3 (E) A description of the current and 

4 planned contributions of North Atlantic Treaty 

5 Organization allies, both collectively and indi6 vidually, to missile defense in Europe. 

7 (3) FORM.—The report required by paragraph 

8 (1) shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may 

9 include a classified annex. 

10 SEC. 233. MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATION WITH RUSSIA. 

11 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

12 (1) For more than a decade, the United States 

13 and Russia have discussed a variety of options for co14 operation on shared early warning and ballistic mis15 sile defense. For example, on May 1, 2001, President 

16 George W. Bush spoke of a ‘‘new cooperative relation17 ship’’ with Russia and said ‘‘it should be premised on 

18 openness, mutual confidence and real opportunities 

19 for cooperation, including the area of missile defense. 

20 It should allow us to share information so that each 

21 nation can improve its early warning capability, and 

22 its capability to defend its people and territory. And 

23 perhaps one day, we can even cooperate in a joint de24 fense’’. 
84 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (2) Section 1231 of the Floyd D. Spence Na2 tional Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 

3 (as enacted into law by Public Law 106–398; 1654A– 

4 329) authorized the Department of Defense to estab5 lish in Russia a ‘‘joint center for the exchange of data 

6 from systems to provide early warning of launches of 

7 ballistic missiles and for notification of launches of 

8 such missiles’’, also known as the Joint Data Ex9 change Center (JDEC). 

10 (3) On March 31, 2008, Deputy Secretary of De11 fense Gordon England stated that ‘‘we have offered 

12 Russia a wide-ranging proposal to cooperate on mis13 sile defense—everything from modeling and simula14 tion, to data sharing, to joint development of a re15 gional missile defense architecture—all designed to 

16 defend the United States, Europe, and Russia from 

17 the growing threat of Iranian ballistic missiles. An 

18 extraordinary series of transparency measures have 

19 also been offered to reassure Russia. Despite some 

20 Russian reluctance to sign up to these cooperative 

21 missile defense activities, we continue to work toward 

22 this goal’’. 

23 (4) On July 6, 2009, President Barack Obama 

24 and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued a 

25 joint statement on missile defense issues, which stated 
85 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 that ‘‘Russia and the United States plan to continue 

2 the discussion concerning the establishment of co3 operation in responding to the challenge of ballistic 

4 missile proliferation. . . We have instructed our ex5 perts to work together to analyze the ballistic missile 

6 challenges of the 21st century and to prepare appro7 priate recommendations’’. 

8 (5) The February 2010 report of the Ballistic 

9 Missile Defense Review established as one of its cen10 tral policy pillars that increased international missile 

11 defense cooperation is in the national security interest 

12 of the United States and, with regard to cooperation 

13 with Russia, the United States ‘‘is pursuing a broad 

14 agenda focused on shared early warning of missile 

15 launches, possible technical cooperation, and even 

16 operational cooperation’’. 

17 (6) at the November 2010 Lisbon Summit, the 

18 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) decided 

19 to develop a missile defense system to ‘‘protect NATO 

20 European populations, territory and forces’’ and also 

21 to seek cooperation with Russia on missile defense. In 

22 its Lisbon Summit Declaration, the North Atlantic 

23 Treaty Organization reaffirmed its readiness to ‘‘in24 vite Russia to explore jointly the potential for linking 

25 current and planned missile defence systems at an 
86 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 appropriate time in mutually beneficial ways’’. The 

2 new NATO Strategic Concept adopted at the Lisbon 

3 Summit states that ‘‘we will actively seek cooperation 

4 on missile defense with Russia’’, that ‘‘NATO-Russia 

5 cooperation is of strategic importance’’, and that ‘‘the 

6 security of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

7 and Russia is intertwined’’. 

8 (7) In a December 18, 2010, letter to the leader9 ship of the Senate, President Obama wrote that the 

10 North Atlantic Treaty Organization ‘‘invited Russia 

11 to cooperate on missile defense, which could lead to 

12 adding Russian capabilities to those deployed by 

13 NATO to enhance our common security against com14 mon threats. The Lisbon Summit thus demonstrated 

15 that the Alliance’s missile defenses can be strength16 ened by improving NATO-Russian relations. This 

17 comes even as we have made clear that the system we 

18 intend to pursue with Russia will not be a joint sys19 tem, and it will not in any way limit United States’ 

20 or NATO’s missile defense capabilities. Effective co21 operation with Russia could enhance the overall effi22 ciency of our combined territorial missile defenses, 

23 and at the same time provide Russia with greater se24 curity’’. 
87 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (8) Section 221(a)(3) of the Ike Skelton National 

2 Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Pub3 lic Law 111–383; 124 Stat. 4167) states that it is the 

4 sense of Congress ‘‘to support the efforts of the United 

5 States Government and the North Atlantic Treaty Or6 ganization to pursue cooperation with the Russian 

7 Federation on ballistic missile defense relative to Ira8 nian missile threats’’. 

9 (9) In a speech in Russia on March 21, 2011, 

10 Secretary of Defense Robert Gates cited ‘‘the NATO11 Russian decision to cooperate on defense against bal12 listic missiles. We’ve disagreed before, and Russia still 

13 has uncertainties about the European Phased Adapt14 ive Approach, a limited system that poses no chal15 lenges to the large Russian nuclear arsenal. However, 

16 we’ve mutually committed to resolving these difficul17 ties in order to develop a roadmap toward truly effec18 tive anti-ballistic missile collaboration. This collabo19 ration may include exchanging launch information, 

20 setting up a joint data fusion center, allowing greater 

21 transparency with respect to our missile defense plans 

22 and exercises, and conducting a joint analysis to de23 termine areas of future cooperation’’. 

24 (10) In testimony to the Committee on Armed 

25 Services of the Senate on April 13, 2011, Deputy As-
88 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 sistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Missile 

2 Defense Policy Bradley H. Roberts stated that the 

3 United States has been pursuing a Defense Tech4 nology Cooperation Agreement with Russia since 

5 2004, and that such an agreement is necessary ‘‘for 

6 the safeguarding of sensitive information in support 

7 of cooperation’’ on missile defense, and to ‘‘provide 

8 the legal framework for undertaking cooperative ef9 forts’’. Further, Dr. Roberts stated that the United 

10 States would not provide any classified information 

11 to Russia without first conducting a National Disclo12 sure Policy review. He also stated that the United 

13 States is not considering sharing ‘‘hit-to-kill’’ tech14 nology with Russia. 

15 (11) In a March 2012 answer to a question from 

16 the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate on 

17 missile defense cooperation with Russia, Acting 

18 Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Jim Miller 

19 wrote that ‘‘I support U.S.-Russian cooperation on 

20 missile defenses first and foremost because it could 

21 improve the effectiveness of U.S. and NATO missile 

22 defenses, thereby improving the protection of the 

23 United States, our forces overseas, and our Allies. 

24 Missile defense cooperation with Russia is in the secu25 rity interests of the United States, NATO, and Rus-
89 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 sia, first and foremost because it could strengthen ca2 pabilities across Europe to intercept Iranian mis3 siles’’. He also wrote that ‘‘[t]he United States has 

4 pursued missile defense cooperation with Russia with 

5 the clear understanding that we would not accept con6 straints on missile defense, and that we would under7 take necessary qualitative and quantitative improve8 ments to meet U.S. Security needs’’. 

9 (12) In February 2012, an international group 

10 of independent experts known as the Euro-Atlantic 

11 Security Initiative issued a report proposing missile 

12 defense cooperation between the United States (with 

13 its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies) and 

14 Russia. The group, whose leaders included Stephen 

15 Hadley, the National Security Advisor to President 

16 George W. Bush, proposed that the nations share sat17 ellite and radar early warning data at joint coopera18 tion centers in order to improve their ability to de19 tect, track, and defeat medium-range and inter20 mediate-range ballistic missiles from the Middle East. 

21 (13) In a letter dated April 13, 2012, Robert 

22 Nabors, Assistant to the President and Director of the 

23 Office of Legislative Affairs, wrote that ‘‘it is Admin24 istration policy that we will only provide information 

25 to Russia that will enhance the effectiveness of our 
90 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 missile defenses. The Administration will not provide 

2 Russia with sensitive information that would in any 

3 way compromise our national security, including hit4 to-kill technology and interceptor telemetry’’. 

5 (14) The United States and Russia already en6 gage in substantial cooperation on a number of inter7 national security efforts, including nuclear non8 proliferation, anti-piracy, counter-narcotics, nuclear 

9 security, counter-terrorism, and logistics resupply 

10 through Russia of coalition forces in Afghanistan. 

11 These areas of cooperation require each side to share 

12 and protect sensitive information, which they have 

13 both done successfully. 

14 (15) The United States currently has shared 

15 early warning agreements and programs of coopera16 tion with eight nations in addition to the North At17 lantic Treaty Organization. The United States has 

18 developed procedures and mechanisms for sharing 

19 early warning information with partner nations 

20 while ensuring the protection of sensitive United 

21 States information. 

22 (16) Russia and the United States each have 

23 missile launch early warning and detection and 

24 tracking sensors that could contribute to and enhance 
91 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 each others’ ability to detect, track, an defend against 

2 ballistic missile threats from Iran. 

3 (17) The Obama Administration has provided 

4 regular briefings to Congress on its discussions with 

5 Russia on possible missile defense cooperation. 

6 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 

7 that— 

8 (1) it is in the national security interest of the 

9 United States to pursue efforts at missile defense co10 operation with Russia that would enhance the secu11 rity of the United States, its North Atlantic Treaty 

12 Organization allies, and Russia, particularly against 

13 missile threats from Iran; 

14 (2) the United States should pursue ballistic 

15 missile defense cooperation with Russia on both a bi16 lateral basis and a multilateral basis with its North 

17 Atlantic Treaty Organization allies, particularly 

18 through the NATO-Russia Council; 

19 (3) missile defense cooperation with Russia 

20 should not ‘‘in any way limit United States’ or 

21 NATO’s missile defense capabilities’’, as acknowledged 

22 in the December 18, 2010, letter from President 

23 Obama to the leadership of the Senate, and should be 

24 mutually beneficial and reciprocal in nature; 
92 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (4) the United States should not provide Russia 

2 with sensitive missile defense information that would 

3 in any way compromise United States national secu4 rity, including ‘‘hit-to-kill’’ technology and inter5 ceptor telemetry; and 

6 (5) the United States should pursue missile de7 fense cooperation with Russia in a manner that en8 sures that— 

9 (A) United States classified information is 

10 appropriately safeguarded and protected from 

11 unauthorized disclosure; 

12 (B) prior to sharing classified information 

13 with Russia, the United States conducts a Na14 tional Disclosure Policy review and determines 

15 the types and levels of information that may be 

16 shared and whether any additional procedures 

17 are necessary to protect such information; 

18 (C) prior to entering into missile defense 

19 technology cooperation projects, the United 

20 States enters into a Defense Technology Coopera21 tion Agreement with Russia that establishes the 

22 legal framework for a broad spectrum of poten23 tial cooperative defense projects; and 
93 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (D) such cooperation does not limit the mis2 sile defense capabilities of the United States or 

3 its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies. 

4 SEC. 234. NEXT GENERATION EXO-ATMOSPHERIC KILL VE5 HICLE. 

6 (a) PLAN FOR NEXT GENERATION KILL VEHICLE.— 

7 The Director of the Missile Defense Agency shall develop a

22 the Director for that purpose that is designed to en23 sure that a next generation Exo-atmospheric Kill Ve24 hicle design— 
94 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (A) enables ease of manufacturing, high tol2 erances to production processes and supply chain 

3 variability, and inherent reliability; 

4 (B) will be optimized to take advantage of 

5 the Ballistic Missile Defense System architecture 

6 and sensor system capabilities; 

7 (C) leverages all relevant kill vehicle devel8 opment activities and technologies, including 

9 from the current Standard Missile-3 Block IIB 

10 (SM–3 IIB) program and the previous Multiple 

11 Kill Vehicle technology development program; 

12 (D) seeks to maximize, to the greatest extent 

13 practicable, commonality between subsystems of 

14 a next generation Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle 

15 and other exo-atmospheric kill vehicle programs; 

16 and 

17 (E) meets Department of Defense criteria, 

18 as established in the February 2010 Ballistic 

19 Missile Defense Review, for affordability, reli20 ability, suitability, and operational effectiveness 

21 to defend against limited attacks from evolving 

22 and future threats from long-range missiles.

19 SEC. 239. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE SUBMITTAL TO 

20 CONGRESS OF THE HOMELAND DEFENSE 

21 HEDGING POLICY AND STRATEGY REPORT OF 

22 THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

24 (1) Section 233 of the National Defense Author25 ization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112– 
98 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 81; 125 Stat. 1340) requires a homeland defense hedg2 ing policy and strategy report from the Secretary of 

3 Defense. 

4 (2) The report was required to be submitted not 

5 later than 75 days after the date of the enactment of 

6 the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

7 Year 2012, namely by March 16, 2012. 

8 (3) The Secretary of Defense has not yet sub9 mitted the report as required. 

10 (4) In March 2012, General Charles Jacoby, Jr., 

11 Commander of the United States Northern Command, 

12 the combatant command responsible for operation of 

13 the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system to defend 

14 the homeland against ballistic missile threats, testified 

15 before Congress that ‘‘I am confident in my ability to 

16 successfully defend the homeland from the current set 

17 of limited long-range ballistic missile threats’’, and 

18 that ‘‘[a]gainst current threats from the Middle East, 

19 I am confident we are well postured’’. 

20 (5) Phase 4 of the European Phased Adaptive 

21 Approach (EPAA) is intended to augment the cur22 rently deployed homeland defense capability of the 

23 Ground-based Midcourse Defense system against a po24 tential future Iranian long-range missile threat by de-
99 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 ploying an additional layer of forward-deployed 

2 interceptors in Europe in the 2020 timeframe. 

3 (6) The Director of National Intelligence, James 

4 Clapper, has testified to Congress that, although the 

5 intelligence community does ‘‘not know if Iran will 

6 eventually decide to build nuclear weapons’’, it judges 

7 ‘‘that Iran would likely choose missile delivery as its 

8 preferred method of delivering a nuclear weapon’’. He 

9 also testified that ‘‘Iran already has the largest inven10 tory of ballistic missiles in the Middle East, and it 

11 is expanding the scale, reach, and sophistication of its 

12 ballistic missile forces, many of which are inherently 

13 capable of carrying a nuclear payload’’. 

14 (7) The 2012 Annual Report to Congress on the 

15 Military Power of Iran by the Department of Defense 

16 states that, in addition to increasing its missile in17 ventories, ‘‘Iran has boosted the lethality and effec18 tiveness of its existing missile systems with accuracy 

19 improvements and new submunitions payloads’’, and 

20 that it continues to develop missiles that can strike 

21 Israel and Eastern Europe. It also states that ‘‘Iran 

22 has launched multistage space launch vehicles that 

23 could serve as a testbed for developing long-range bal24 listic missiles technologies’’, and that ‘‘[w]ith suffi25 cient foreign assistance, Iran may be technically ca-
100 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 pable of flight-testing an intercontinental ballistic 

2 missile by 2015’’. 

3 (8) Despite the failure of its April 2012 satellite 

4 launch attempt, North Korea warned the United 

5 States in October 2012 that the United States main6 land is within range of its missiles. 

7 (9) The threat of limited ballistic missile attack 

8 against the United States homeland from countries 

9 such as North Korea and Iran is increasing. 

10 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Con11 gress that— 

12 (1) the homeland defense hedging policy and 

13 strategy report required by section 233 of the Na14 tional Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 

15 is necessary to inform Congress on options to protect 

16 the United States homeland against the evolving bal17 listic missile threat, including potential options prior 

18 to the deployment of Phase 4 of the European Phased 

19 Adaptive Approach to missile defense; and 

20 (2) the Secretary of Defense should comply with 

21 the requirements of section 233 of the National De22 fense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 by sub23 mitting the homeland defense hedging policy and 

24 strategy report to Congress.

16 LATVIA AND OTHER NORTH ATLANTIC TREA17 TY ORGANIZATION MEMBER NATIONS TO THE 

18 SUCCESS OF THE NORTHERN DISTRIBUTION 

19 NETWORK. 

20 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following find21 ings: 

22 (1) The remote and austere environments in 

23 which United States troops are required to operate as 

24 part of the International Security Assistance Force 

25 (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan have increased the 

26 need for reliable lines of supply in southwest Asia. 
388 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (2) The country of Afghanistan presents unique 

2 logistics challenges, which have precipitated the devel3 opment of several redundant lines of supply. 

4 (3) United States Transportation Command and 

5 the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), in consultation 

6 with United States Embassy officials and other par7 ties, have successfully established memoranda of un8 derstanding and other agreements with nations in 

9 and around southwest Asia to ensure the reliability of 

10 lines of supply to Afghanistan. 

11 (4) The lines of supply through Pakistan have 

12 been repeatedly threatened by instability in that 

13 country. Airlifting goods to Afghanistan, while safer, 

14 is expensive. 

15 (5) The Northern Distribution Network (NDN) 

16 was established in late 2008 to ensure that a safe and 

17 cost-effective line of supply is available for United 

18 States troops in Afghanistan. 

19 (6) The two prongs of supply provided by the 

20 Northern Distribution Network ship nonlethal goods 

21 from the Baltic ports in the north and the Caucauses 

22 in the west to southwest Asia and Afghanistan. 

23 (7) The Northern Distribution Network has been 

24 successful and now handles more than 50 percent of 

25 cargo shipped to Afghanistan. 
389 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (8) North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 

2 member nations along the Northern Distribution Net3 work routes have contributed significantly to the suc4 cess of the Northern Distribution Network. 

5 (9) The United States has strong economic ties 

6 to Northern Distribution Network nations that are 

7 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 

8 and these nations may be able to provide quality 

9 goods and services for near and long-term use by the 

10 Department of Defense. 

11 (10) Since 2009 the port of Riga, on the Baltic 

12 Sea, has been a critical overland entry point for goods 

13 being shipped using the Northern Distribution Net14 work. Latvia is a member of the North Atlantic Trea15 ty Organization and has been an ally of the United 

16 States in the region for many years. 

17 (11) In September 2010, the Defense Logistics 

18 Agency, the General Services Administration, and 

19 other parties hosted a local procurement conference in 

20 Riga, Latvia. 

21 (12) One hundred nine Latvian vendors attended 

22 the September 2010 conference in Riga, and contracts 

23 with Latvian vendors have been entered into as a re24 sult. 
390 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (13) In May 2012, Latvia hosted an inter2 national workshop in Riga to examine ways of trans3 forming the Northern Distribution Network from a 

4 route for the delivery of United States and other Al5 lies’ non-lethal goods to Afghanistan into a commer6 cial route that would support the economic growth of 

7 Afghanistan and the southwest Asia region. 

8 (b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

9 that— 

10 (1) Latvia and other North Atlantic Treaty Or11 ganization member nations along the Northern Dis12 tribution Network routes are key economic and secu13 rity partners of the United States and are to be com14 mended for their contribution to ensuring United 

15 States and International Security Assistance Force 

16 troops have reliable lines of supply to achieve the mis17 sion in Afghanistan; 

18 (2) when quality products at competitive prices 

19 are available, significant effort should be made to pro20 cure goods locally from Latvia and other North Atlan21 tic Treaty Organization member nations along the 

22 Northern Distribution Network routes; and 

23 (3) Latvia and other North Atlantic Treaty Or24 ganization member nations along the Northern Dis25 tribution Network routes remain allies of the United 
391 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 States in the region, and a mutually beneficial rela2 tionship should continue to be cultivated between the 

3 United States and Latvia and such other nations in 

4 the future.

7 SEC. 934. SENSE OF SENATE ON POTENTIAL SECURITY 

8 RISKS TO DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE NET9 WORKS. 

10 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following find11 ings: 

12 (1) Cybersecurity threats are pervasive and seri13 ous, including through the supply chain of informa14 tion technology equipment and software. 

15 (2) Semiconductor manufacturing is already 

16 dominated by foreign producers, presenting supply 

17 chain risk management challenges. 

18 (3) In a number of instances, foreign manufac19 turers of telecommunications equipment, including 

20 advanced wireless technology, are gaining global mar21 ket share due to high quality and low prices. Com22 petitive market forces ensure that commercial pro23 viders of consumer, business, and government systems 

24 and services will choose equipment and associated 

25 software from these manufacturers. In some cases, like 
515 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 Huawei Industries, this competitive position stems in 

2 part from inappropriate government subsidies and 

3 other forms of assistance. 

4 (4) Some of these companies also present clear 

5 cybersecurity supply chain risks that the Government 

6 must address. 

7 (5) The Committee on Foreign Investment in the 

8 United States has blocked the attempt by Huawei to 

9 acquire United States technology firms on two occa10 sions and the National Security Agency and the Sec11 retary of Commerce have advised two major United 

12 States telecommunications carriers against selecting 

13 Huawei as a supplier. 

14 (6) The Ike Skelton National Defense Authoriza15 tion Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111–383) 

16 provided authority and mechanisms for the Secretary 

17 of Defense to control these supply chain risks, but 

18 only for National Security Systems, leaving many in19 formation technology systems and missions exposed to 

20 supply chain risks. 

21 (7) Blocking sales from providers of information 

22 technology systems and services due to concerns about 

23 cybersecurity risks, while maintaining our commit24 ment to free trade and fair and transparent competi25 tion, poses difficult policy challenges. 
516 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

2 that the Department of Defense— 

3 (1) must ensure it maintains full visibility and 

4 adequate control of its supply chain, including sub5 contractors, in order to mitigate supply chain exploi6 tation; and 

7 (2) needs the authority and capability to miti8 gate supply chain risks to its information technology 

9 systems that fall outside the scope of National Secu10 rity Systems. 

11 SEC. 935. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES 

12 CYBER COMMAND. 

13 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

14 (1) On June 23, 2009, the Secretary of Defense 

15 directed the Commander of the United States Stra16 tegic Command to establish the United States Cyber 

17 Command, which became operational on May 21, 

18 2010, and operates as a sub-unified command subor19 dinate to the United States Strategic Command. 

20 (2) In May 2012, media reports indicated that 

21 General Martin Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint 

22 Chiefs of Staff, planned to recommend to Secretary of 

23 Defense Leon Panetta that the two-year-old United 

24 States Cyber Command be elevated to full combatant 

25 command status. 
517 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (3) On August 14, 2012, General Keith Alex2 ander, the Commander of the United States Cyber 

3 Command and the Director of the National Security 

4 Agency, addressed the TechNet Land Forces conference 

5 and stated that ‘‘[i]n 2007 we drafted . . . a paper 

6 . . . about establishing a Cyber Command . . . [which 

7 concluded that] . . . the most logical is to set it up 

8 as a sub unified and grow it to a unified, and I think 

9 that’s the process that we’re going to work our way 

10 through’’. 

11 (4) On October 11, 2012, Secretary of Defense 

12 Leon Panetta discussed cybersecurity in a speech to 

13 the Business Executives for National Security in New 

14 York, New York, specifically calling for a strength15 ening of the United States Cyber Command and stat16 ing that the Department of Defense ‘‘must ensure that 

17 [the United States Cyber Command] has the re18 sources, that it has the authorities, that it has the ca19 pabilities required to perform this growing mission. 

20 And it must also be able to react quickly to events un21 folding in cyberspace and help fully integrate cyber 

22 into all of the department’s plans and activities.’’. 

23 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 

24 (1) recognizes the serious cyber threat to national 

25 security and the need to work both offensively and de-
518 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 fensively to protect the Nation’s networks and critical 

2 infrastructure; 

3 (2) acknowledges the importance of the unified 

4 command structure of the Department in directing 

5 military operations in cyberspace and recognizes that 

6 a change in the status of the United States Cyber 

7 Command has Department-wide and national secu8 rity implications, which require careful consideration; 

9 (3) expects to be briefed and consulted about any 

10 proposal to elevate the United States Cyber Command 

11 to a unified command before a decision by the Sec12 retary make such a proposal to the President and to 

13 receive, at a minimum— 

14 (A) a clear statement of mission and related 

15 legal definitions; 

16 (B) an outline of the specific national secu17 rity benefits of elevating the sub-unified United 

18 States Cyber Command to a unified command; 

19 (C) an estimate of the cost of creating a 

20 unified United States Cyber Command and a 

21 justification of the expenditure; and 

22 (D) if the Secretary considers it advisable to 

23 continue the designation of the Commander of 

24 the United States Cyber Command as also being 

25 the Director of the National Security Agency— 
519 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (i) an explanation of how a single in2 dividual could serve as a commander of a 

3 combatant command that conducts overt, al4 beit clandestine, cyber operations under title 

5 10, United States Code, as well as the direc6 tor of an intelligence agency that conducts 

7 covert cyber operations under the National 

8 Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401 et seq.) 

9 in a manner that affords deniability to the 

10 United States; and 

11 (ii) a statement of whether the Sec12 retary believes it is appropriate either to 

13 appoint a line officer as the Director of the 

14 National Security Agency or to take the un15 precedented step of appointing an intel16 ligence officer as a unified commander; and 

17 (4) believes that appropriate policy foundations 

18 and standing rules of engagement must be in place 

19 before any decision to create a unified United States 

20 Cyber Command.

1 SEC. 1004. REPORT ON EFFECTS OF BUDGET SEQUESTRA2 TION ON THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE. 

3 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

4 (1) The inability of the Joint Select Committee 

5 on Deficit Reduction to find $1,200,000,000,000 in 

6 savings will trigger automatic funding reductions 

7 known as ‘‘sequestration’’ to the Department of De8 fense of $492,000,000,000 between 2013 and 2021 

9 under section 251A of the Balanced Budget and 

10 Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 USC 901a). 

11 (2) These reductions are in addition to reduc12 tions of $487,000,000,000 already being implemented 

13 by the Department of Defense, and would decrease the 

14 readiness and capabilities of the Armed Forces while 

15 increasing risks to the effective implementation of the 

16 National Security Strategy of the United States. 

17 (3) The leaders of the Department of Defense 

18 have consistently testified that threats to the national 

19 security of the United States have increased, not de20 creased. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said that 

21 these reductions would ‘‘inflict severe damage to our 

22 national defense for generations’’, comments that have 

23 been echoed by the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and 

24 Air Force. 

25 (4) While reductions in funds available for the 

26 Department of Defense will automatically commence 
533 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 January 2, 2013, uncertainty regarding the reduc2 tions has already exacerbated Department of Defense 

3 efforts to plan future defense budget.

5 on the industrial base that supports the Department 

6 of Defense.

25 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
598 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (1) The Nuclear Posture Review of 2010 said, 

2 with respect to modernizing the triad, ‘‘for planned 

3 reductions under New START, the United States 

4 should retain a smaller Triad of SLBMs, ICBMs, and 

5 heavy bombers. Retaining all three Triad legs will 

6 best maintain strategic stability at reasonable cost, 

7 while hedging against potential technical problems or 

8 vulnerabilities’’. 

9 (2) The Senate stated in Declaration 12 of the 

10 Resolution of Advice and Consent to Ratification of 

11 the New START Treaty that ‘‘In accordance with 

12 paragraph 1 of Article V of the New START Treaty, 

13 which states that, ‘Subject to the provisions of this 

14 Treaty, modernization and replacement of strategic 

15 offensive arms may be carried out,’ it is the sense of 

16 the Senate that United States deterrence and flexi17 bility is assured by a robust triad of strategic delivery 

18 vehicles. To this end, the United States is committed 

19 to accomplishing the modernization and replacement 

20 of its strategic nuclear delivery vehicles, and to ensur21 ing the continued flexibility of United States conven22 tional and nuclear delivery systems’’. 

23 (3) The Senate required the President, prior to 

24 the entry into force of the New START Treaty, to cer25 tify to the Senate that the President intended to mod-
599 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 ernize or replace the triad of strategic nuclear deliv2 ery systems. 

3 (4) The President made this certification in a 

4 message to the Senate on February 2, 2011, in which 

5 the President stated, ‘‘I intend to (a) modernize or re6 place the triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems: 

7 a heavy bomber and air-launched cruise missile, an 

8 ICBM, and a nuclear-powered ballistic missile sub9 marine (SSBN) and SLBM; and (b) maintain the 

10 United States rocket motor industrial base’’.

17 CITIZENS WHO ARE GRADUATES OF UNITED 

18 STATES EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WITH 

19 ADVANCED DEGREES IN SCIENCE, TECH20 NOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS. 

21 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

22 (1) It is a national security concern that more 

23 than half of all graduates with advanced scientific 

24 and technical degrees from United States institutions 

25 of higher education are non-United States citizens 

26 who have very limited opportunities upon graduation 
607 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 to contribute to the science and technology activities 

2 of the Department of Defense and the United States 

3 defense industrial base. 

4 (2) The capabilities of the Armed Forces are 

5 highly reliant upon advanced technologies that pro6 vide our forces with a technological edge on the battle7 field. 

8 (3) In order to maintain and advance our mili9 tary technological superiority, the United States re10 quires the best and brightest scientists, mathemati11 cians, and engineers to discover, develop, and field the 

12 next generation of weapon systems and defense tech13 nologies. 

14 (4) The Department of Defense and the defense 

15 industrial base compete with other sectors for a lim16 ited number of United States citizens who have ap17 propriate advanced degrees and skills. 

18 (5) While an overarching national priority is to 

19 increase the numbers of United States citizens who 

20 have appropriate advanced degrees in science, tech21 nology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), it 

22 would be beneficial if the Department of Defense and 

23 the defense industrial base were able to access the pool 

24 of talent of non-United States citizens with advanced 

25 scientific and technical degrees from United States 
608 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 institutions of higher education, many of whom are 

2 otherwise returning to their home countries. 

3 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con4 gress— 

5 (1) that the Department of Defense should make 

6 every reasonable and practical effort to increase the 

7 number of United States citizens who pursue ad8 vanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, 

9 and mathematics; and 

10 (2) to strongly urge the Department of Defense to 

11 investigate innovative mechanisms (subject to all ap12 propriate security requirements) to access to the pool 

13 of talent of non-United States citizens with advanced 

14 scientific and technical degrees from United States 

15 institutions of higher education, especially in those 

16 scientific and technical areas that are most vital to 

17 the national defense (such as those identified by the 

18 Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engi19 neering and the Armed Forces). 

20 SEC. 1084. SENSE OF SENATE ON THE MAINTENANCE BY 

21 THE UNITED STATES OF A TRIAD OF STRA22 TEGIC NUCLEAR DELIVERY SYSTEMS. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds the following: 

24 (1) The April 2010 Nuclear Posture Review con25 cluded that even with the reductions specified in the 
609 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 New START Treaty, the United States should retain 

2 a nuclear ‘‘Triad’’ of land-based intercontinental bal3 listic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles 

4 and nuclear capable heavy bombers, noting that 

5 ‘‘[r]etaining all three Triad legs will best maintain 

6 strategic stability at reasonable cost, while hedging 

7 against potential technical problems or 

8 vulnerabilities’’. 

9 (2) The resolution of ratification for the New 

10 START Treaty, which the Senate approved on De11 cember 22, 2010, stated that ‘‘it is the sense of the 

12 Senate that United States deterrence and flexibility is 

13 assured by a robust triad of strategic delivery vehi14 cles. To this end, the United States is committed to 

15 accomplishing the modernization and replacement of 

16 its strategic nuclear delivery vehicles, and to ensuring 

17 the continued flexibility of United States conventional 

18 and nuclear delivery systems’’. 

19 (3) In a message to the Senate on February 2, 

20 2011, President Obama certified that he intended to 

21 ‘‘modernize or replace the triad of strategic nuclear 

22 delivery systems: a heavy bomber and air-launched 

23 cruise missile, an ICBM, and a nuclear-powered bal24 listic missile submarine (SSBN) and SLBM’’ and to 
610 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 ‘‘maintain the United States rocket motor industrial 

2 base’’. 

3 (b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

4 that— 

5 (1) the United States should maintain a triad of 

6 strategic nuclear delivery systems; and 

7 (2) the United States is committed to modern8 izing the component weapons and delivery systems of 

9 that triad. 

10 SEC. 1085. PLAN TO PARTNER WITH STATE AND LOCAL EN11 TITIES TO ADDRESS VETERANS CLAIMS BACK12 LOG. 

13 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

14 (1) The Department of Veterans Affairs defines 

15 any claim for benefits under laws administered by the 

16 Secretary of Veterans Affairs as backlogged if the 

17 claim has been pending for 125 days or more. 

18 (2) According to the Department, as of November 

19 24, 2012, there were 899,540 pending claims, with 

20 604,583 (67.2 percent) of those considered backlogged. 

21 (3) The Department’s data further shows that, on 

22 November 22, 2010, there were 749,934 claims pend23 ing, with only 244,129 (32.6 percent) of those consid24 ered backlogged. 
611 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (4) During the past two years, both the overall 

2 number of backlogged claims and the percentage of all 

3 pending claims that are backlogged have doubled. 

4 (5) In order to reduce the claims backlog at re5 gional offices of the Department of Veterans Affairs 

6 located in Texas, the Texas Veterans Commission an7 nounced two initiatives on July 19, 2012, to partner 

8 with the Department of Veterans Affairs— 

9 (A) to assist veterans whose claims are al10 ready backlogged to complete development of 

11 those claims; and 

12 (B) to help veterans who are filing new 

13 claims to fully develop those claims prior to fil14 ing them, shortening the processing time re15 quired. 

16 (6) The common goal of the two initiatives of the 

17 Texas Veterans Commission, called the ‘‘Texas State 

18 Strike Force Team’’ and the ‘‘Fully Developed Claims 

19 Team Initiative’’, is to reduce the backlog of claims 

20 pending in Texas by 17,000 within one year. 

21 (7) During the first two months of these new ini22 tiatives, the Texas Veterans Commission helped vet23 erans complete development of more than 2,500 back24 logged claims and assisted veterans with the submis25 sion of more than 800 fully developed claims. 
612 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (8) In testimony before the Subcommittee on 

2 Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs of the 

3 Committee on Veterans’ Affairs of the House of Rep4 resentatives on September 21, 2012, Diana Rubens, 

5 Deputy Under Secretary for Field Operations of the 

6 Veterans Benefits Administration, indicated that the 

7 Department of Veterans Affairs has experienced posi8 tive outcomes in projects with the Texas Veterans 

9 Commission, stating that both Veterans Service Orga10 nizations ‘‘and state and county service 

11 officers... are important partners in VBA’s trans12 formation to better serve Veterans.’’. 

13 (9) At the same hearing, Mr. John Limpose, di14 rector of the regional office of the Department of Vet15 erans Affairs in Waco, Texas, testified that the ‘‘TVC 

16 is working very, very well’’ with regional offices of the 

17 Department in Texas, calling the Texas Veterans 

18 Commission a ‘‘very positive story that we can 

19 branch out into... all of our stakeholders.’’. 

20 (b) REPORT.— 

21 (1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 60 days after 

22 the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 

23 Veterans Affairs shall submit to Congress a plan to

10 (2) placement or emplacement of obstructions 

11 near or on Department of Defense airfields, training 

12 airspace, or air training routes has the potential of 

13 increasing risk to military aircraft and personnel as 

14 well as impacting training and readiness; and 

15 (3) the Department of Defense should develop 

16 comprehensive rules and regulations to address con17 struction and use of land in close proximity to De18 partment of Defense airfields, training areas, or air 

19 training routes to ensure compatibility with military

3 SEC. 1249. PLAN FOR PROMOTING THE SECURITY OF AF4 GHAN WOMEN AND GIRLS DURING THE SECU5 RITY TRANSITION PROCESS. 

6 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

7 (1) According to the Department of Defense’s 

8 April 2012 Report on Progress Toward Security and 

9 Stability in Afghanistan: 

10 (A) ‘‘U.S. and coalition forces will continue 

11 to degrade the Taliban-led insurgency in order to 

12 provide time and space to increase the capacity 

13 of the Afghan National Security Forces and the 

14 Afghan Government so they can assume full re15 sponsibility for Afghanistan’s security by the end 

16 of 2014.’’ 

17 (B) ‘‘Transition to Afghan security lead 

18 began in July 2011 and transition to full Af19 ghan security responsibility will be complete 

20 country-wide by the end of 2014.’’ 

21 (C) ‘‘The security of the Afghan people and 

22 the stability of the government are used to judge 

23 provincial readiness to move to each successive 

24 stage of transition implementation.’’ 
739 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (D) For each area designated for transition, 

2 a transition implementation plan is developed 

3 by the Government of Afghanistan, NATO, and 

4 ISAF and approved by the Joint Afghan-NATO 

5 Inteqal Board (JANIB). JANIB is also respon6 sible for recommending areas to enter and exit 

7 the transition process. 

8 (2) According to a 2002 study on Women, Peace 

9 and Security submitted by the Secretary-General of 

10 the United Nations pursuant to Security Council res11 olution 1325 (2000), ‘‘the suspension of or restriction 

12 on women’s enjoyment of their human rights’’ can act 

13 as an early-warning indicator of impending or re14 newed conflict. In Afghanistan, restrictions on wom15 en’s mobility and rights can signal the presence of ex16 tremist or insurgent elements in a community. 

17 (3) The security of Afghan women and girls in 

18 areas undergoing security transitions will be an im19 portant gauge of the transition strategy’s success. In20 dicators by which to measure women’s security in21 clude the mobility of women and girls, the participa22 tion of women in local government bodies, the rate of 

23 school attendance for girls, women’s access to govern24 ment services, and the prevalence of violence against 

25 women. 
740 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (4) Maintaining and improving physical secu2 rity for Afghan women and girls throughout the coun3 try is critical in order for women and girls to take 

4 advantage of opportunities in education, commerce, 

5 politics, and other areas of public life, which in turn 

6 is essential for the future stability and prosperity of 

7 Afghanistan. 

8 (5) Women who serve as public officials at all 

9 levels of the Government of Afghanistan face serious 

10 threats to their personal security and that of their 

11 families. Many female officials have been the victims 

12 of violent crimes, but they are generally not afforded 

13 official protection by the Government of Afghanistan 

14 or security forces. 

15 (6) Protecting the security and human rights of 

16 Afghan women and girls requires the involvement of 

17 Afghan men and boys through education about the 

18 important benefits of women’s full participation in 

19 social, economic, and political life. Male officials and 

20 security personnel can play a particularly important 

21 role in supporting and protecting women and girls. 

22 (7) The Chicago Summit Declaration issued by 

23 NATO in May 2012 states: ‘‘As the Afghan National 

24 Police further develop and professionalize, they will 

25 evolve towards a sustainable, credible, and account-
741 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 able civilian law enforcement force that will shoulder 

2 the main responsibility for domestic security. This 

3 force should be capable of providing policing services 

4 to the Afghan population as part of the broader Af5 ghan rule of law system.’’ 

6 (8) Women face significant barriers to full par7 ticipation in the ANA and ANP, including a dis8 criminatory or hostile work environment and the lack 

9 of separate facilities designed for female personnel. 

10 (9) As of September 2012, female recruitment 

11 and retention rates for the Afghan National Security 

12 Forces are far below published targets, as follows: 

13 (A) Approximately 1,700 women serve in 

14 the Afghan National Security Forces, or less 

15 than half of one percent of the total force. 

16 (B) In 2010, President Hamid Karzai an17 nounced plans to recruit and train 5,000 women 

18 in the Afghan National Police, or approximately 

19 3 percent of the force, by 2014. Currently, there 

20 are approximately 1,370 women in the ANP, or 

21 0.87 percent of the police force. 

22 (C) Approximately 350 women currently 

23 serve in the Afghan National Army, representing 

24 only 0.17 percent of the force. The Government 

25 of Afghanistan has said that its goal is to 
742 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 achieve a force that is 10 percent female. As of 

2 May 2012, approximately 3 percent of new ANA 

3 recruits were women. 

4 (10) Male security personnel often do not re5 spond to threats or incidences of violence against 

6 women, particularly at the local level. They largely 

7 lack the training and understanding needed to re8 spond appropriately and effectively to situations in9 volving women. According to the Department of De10 fense’s April 2012 Report on Progress Toward Secu11 rity and Stability in Afghanistan: 

12 (A) The Afghan Ministry of Defense ‘‘lacks 

13 the combination of policies, procedures, and exe14 cution to promote opportunity and fair and re15 spectful treatment of women in the force’’. 

16 (B) The Afghan Ministry of Interior ‘‘faces 

17 significant challenges in fully integrating and 

18 protecting women in the ANP workforce, espe19 cially among operational units at the provincial 

20 and district levels’’. 

21 (C) In the Afghan National Police, ‘‘Many 

22 Provincial Headquarters Commanders do not ac23 cept policewomen, as they prefer male candidates 

24 and lack adequate facilities to support females.’’ 
743 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (D) ‘‘While women are greatly needed to 

2 support police operations, a combination of cul3 tural impediments, weak recruitment, and un4 even application of policies hinder significant 

5 progress.’’ 

6 (E) ‘‘Although stronger documentation, im7 plementation, and enforcement of policies, proce8 dures, and guidance to better integrate women 

9 will help, time will be needed to change the cul10 tural mores that form the basis of many of the 

11 current impediments.’’ 

12 (11) The United States, the North American 

13 Treaty Organization, and United States coalition 

14 partners have made firm commitments to support the 

15 human rights of the women and girls of Afghanistan, 

16 as evidenced by the following actions: 

17 (A) According to the United States National 

18 Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, 

19 ‘‘integrating women and gender considerations 

20 into peace-building processes helps promote 

21 democratic governance and long-term stability,’’ 

22 which are key United States strategic goals in 

23 Afghanistan. 

24 (B) The National Action Plan also states 

25 that ‘‘the engagement and protection of women 
744 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 as agents of peace and stability will be central 

2 to United States efforts to promote security, pre3 vent, respond to, and resolve conflict, and rebuild 

4 societies.’’ This policy applies to United States 

5 Government efforts in Afghanistan, where ad6 dressing the security vulnerabilities of Afghan 

7 women and girls during the period of security 

8 transition is an essential step toward long-term 

9 stability. 

10 (C) The Chicago Summit Declaration 

11 issued by NATO in May 2012 states: ‘‘We em12 phasize the importance of full participation of 

13 all Afghan women in the reconstruction, polit14 ical, peace and reconciliation processes in Af15 ghanistan and the need to respect the institu16 tional arrangements protecting their rights. We 

17 remain committed to the implementation of 

18 United Nations Security Council Resolution 

19 (UNSCR) 1325 on women, peace and security.

13 of State as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. 

14 (3) Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza 

15 have routinely used human shields and launched rock16 ets from civilian areas. 

17 (4) Israel has gone to extraordinary lengths to 

18 avoid Palestinian civilian casualties, including 

19 aborting attacks on military targets because of the 

20 presence of civilians, alerting civilians to leave areas 

21 of potential conflict, and allowing the importation of 

22 medical and other supplies into Gaza. 

23 (5) Israel faces additional rocket and missile 

24 threats from Lebanon and Syria. 
751 

† HR 4310 EAS1S

2 with advanced longer range missiles such as the 

3 Fajar-5.

19 SEC. 3133. REGIONAL RADIOLOGICAL SECURITY ZONES. 

20 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

21 (1) A terrorist attack using high-activity radio22 logical materials, such as in a dirty bomb, could in23 flict billions of dollars of economic costs and consider24 able societal and economic dislocation, with effects 

25 and costs possibly lasting for years. 
986 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (2) It may be easier for terrorists to obtain the 

2 materials for, and to fabricate, a dirty bomb than an 

3 improvised nuclear device. 

4 (3) Radiological materials are in widespread use 

5 worldwide, with estimates of the number of radio6 logical sources ranging from 100,000 to millions. 

7 (4) Many nations have a security and regulatory 

8 regime for their radiological sources that is much less 

9 developed than that of the United States. 

10 (5) Radiological materials are used at many ci11 vilian sites including hospitals, industrial sites, and 

12 other locations that have little security, placing these 

13 materials at risk of theft. 

14 (6) Many radiological materials have become 

15 lost, disused, unwanted, or abandoned, with the Glob16 al Threat Reduction Initiative of the National Nu17 clear Security Administration having recovered more 

18 than 30,000 radioactive sources in the United States, 

19 repatriated more than 2,400 United States-origin 

20 sources from other countries, and helped recover more 

21 than 13,000 radioactive sources and radioisotope ther22 moelectric generators in other countries. 

23 (7) High-activity radiological materials can be 

24 used in a dirty bomb. 
987 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 

2 that United States and global nonproliferation efforts 

3 should place a high priority on programs to secure high4 activity radiological sources to reduce the threat of radio5 logical terrorism. 

6 (c) STUDY.— 

7 (1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after 

8 the date of the enactment of this Act, the Adminis9 trator of the National Nuclear Security Administra10 tion shall submit to the appropriate committees of

22 Subtitle D—Other Matters 

23 SEC. 3141. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON OVERSIGHT OF THE 

24 NUCLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE. 

25 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
995 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (1) In 2000, the National Nuclear Security Ad2 ministration was established as an independent entity 

3 within the Department of Energy to manage and se4 cure the nuclear weapons stockpile of the United 

5 States and to manage nuclear nonproliferation and 

6 naval reactor programs. 

7 (2) Serious security and health incidents con8 tinue to occur at sites of the National Nuclear Secu9 rity Administration. 

10 (3) In September 2012, an official of the Govern11 ment Accountability Office testified to Congress that 

12 lax laboratory attitudes toward safety procedures, lab13 oratory inadequacies in identifying and addressing 

14 safety problems with appropriate corrective actions, 

15 and inadequate oversight by site offices of the Na16 tional Nuclear Security Administration were respon17 sible for nearly 100 safety incidents since 2000. 

18 (4) On July 28, 2012, three unarmed individuals 

19 compromised security at the Y–12 National Security 

20 Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and according to 

21 the Government Accountability Office, ‘‘gained access 

22 to the protected security area directly adjacent to one 

23 of the nation’s most critically important nuclear 

24 weapons-related facilities’’. 
996 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 (5) In June 2006, hackers attacked an unclassi2 fied computer system at the National Nuclear Secu3 rity Administration’s Service Center in Albuquerque, 

4 New Mexico, and gained access to a file containing 

5 the names and social security numbers of more than 

6 1,500 employees of the National Nuclear Security Ad7 ministration. 

8 (6) As early as February 2005, the Inspector 

9 General of the Department of Energy identified prob10 lems with the retrieval of badges from terminated em11 ployees at Los Alamos National Laboratory and other 

12 sites of the National Nuclear Security Administra13 tion. 

14 (7) In 2004, a pattern of safety and security in15 cidents that occurred over the course of a year 

16 prompted the stand-down of Los Alamos National 

17 Laboratory. 

18 (8) The National Nuclear Security Administra19 tion, independent of the safety and security reform ef20 forts of the Department of Energy, has launched an 

21 overhaul of its contracting oversight, placing an em22 phasis on contractor self-policing through an untested 

23 ‘‘contractor assurance’’ approach. 

24 (9) The Government Accountability Office has 

25 given the contractor administration and project man-
997 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 agement capabilities of the National Nuclear Security 

2 Administration a ‘‘high risk’’ designation and found 

3 there to be insufficient qualified Federal acquisition 

4 professionals to ‘‘plan, direct, and oversee project exe5 cution’’. 

6 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 

7 that— 

8 (1) there is a need for strong, independent over9 sight of the United States nuclear security enterprise; 

10 (2) any attempt to reform oversight of the nu11 clear security enterprise that transfers oversight from 

12 the Department of Energy to the National Nuclear 

13 Security Administration, reduces protections for 

14 worker health and safety at facilities of the National 

15 Nuclear Security Administration to levels below the 

16 standards of the Department of Energy, or transfers 

17 construction appropriations for the nuclear security 

18 enterprise from the Department of Energy appropria19 tion account to the military construction appropria20 tion account, should be carefully evaluated; 

21 (3) the Office of Health, Safety, and Security of 

22 the Department of Energy, which reports to the Sec23 retary of Energy but is also accountable for routinely 

24 reporting to Congress on the performance with respect 

25 to safety and security of the Department, including 
998 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 the National Nuclear Security Administration, and 

2 the role of that Office in overseeing safety and secu3 rity at the National Nuclear Security Administra4 tion, should not be diminished but should be routinely 

5 evaluated; 

6 (4) any future modifications to the management 

7 or structure of the nuclear security enterprise should 

8 be done in a way that maintains or increases over9 sight of critical construction, security, and acquisi10 tion capabilities; 

11 (5) to the extent possible, oversight of programs 

12 of the National Nuclear Security Administration by 

13 the Department of Defense should increase to ensure 

14 current and future warfighting requirements are met; 

15 and 

16 (6) the Nuclear Weapons Council should provide 

17 proper oversight in the execution of its responsibilities 

18 under section 179 of title 10, United States Code.

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 SEC. 5012. FINDINGS. 

2 Congress find the following: 

3 (1) Because of the great respect in which mili4 tary service and military awards are rightfully held 

5 by the public, false claims of receiving such medals or 

6 serving in the military are especially likely to be 

7 harmful and material to employers, voters in deciding 

8 to whom paid elective positions should be entrusted, 

9 and in the award of contracts. 

10 (2) Military service and military awards are 

11 held in such great respect that public and private de12 cisions are correctly influenced by claims of heroism. 

13 (3) False claims of military service or military 

14 heroism are an especially noxious means of obtaining 

15 something of value because they are particularly like16 ly to cause tangible harm to victims of fraud. 

17 (4) False claims of military service or the receipt 

18 of military awards, if believed, are especially likely to 

19 dispose people favorably toward the speaker. 

20 (5) False claims of military service or the receipt 

21 of military awards are particularly likely to be mate22 rial and cause people to part with money or property. 

23 Even if such claims are unsuccessful in bringing 

24 about this result, they still constitute attempted fraud. 

25 (6) False claims of military service or the receipt 

26 of military awards that are made to secure appoint-
1113 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 ment to the board of an organization are likely to 

2 cause harm to such organization through their obtain3 ing the services of an individual who does not bring 

4 to that organization what he or she claims, and whose 

5 falsehood, if discovered, would cause the organiza6 tion’s donors concern that the organization’s board 

7 might not manage money honestly. 

8 (7) The easily verifiable nature of false claims 

9 regarding military service or the receipt of military 

10 awards, the relative infrequency of such claims, and 

11 the fact that false claims of having served in the mili12 tary or received such awards are rightfully con13 demned across the political spectrum, it is especially 

14 likely that any law prohibiting such false claims 

15 would not be enforced selectively. 

16 (8) Congress may make criminal the false claim 

17 of military service or the receipt of military awards 

18 based on its powers under article I, section 8, clause 

19 2 of the Constitution of the United States, to raise 

20 and support armies, and article I, section 8, clause 

21 18 of the Constitution of the United States, to enact 

22 necessary and proper measures to carry into execu23 tion that power.

4 Subtitle C—Sense of Congress 

5 Regarding Spectrum 

6 SEC. 5317. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING SPECTRUM. 

7 It is the sense of Congress that— 

8 (1) the Nation’s mobile communications industry 

9 is a significant economic engine, by one estimate di10 rectly or indirectly supporting 3,800,000 jobs, or 2.6 

11 percent of all United States employment, contributing 

12 $195,500,000,000 to the United States gross domestic 

13 product and driving $33,000,000,000 in productivity 

14 improvements in 2011; 

15 (2) while wireless carriers are continually imple16 menting new and more efficient technologies and tech17 niques to maximize their existing spectrum capacity, 

18 there is a pressing need for additional spectrum for 

19 mobile broadband services, with one report predicting 

20 that global mobile data traffic will increase 18-fold 

21 between 2011 and 2016 at a compound annual 

22 growth rate of 78 percent, reaching 10.8 exabytes per 

23 month by 2016; 

24 (3) as the Nation faces the growing demand for 

25 spectrum, consideration should be given to both the 
1168 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 supply of spectrum for licensed networks and for unli2 censed devices; 

3 (4) while this additional demand can be met in 

4 part by reallocating spectrum from existing non-gov5 ernmental uses, the long-term solution must include 

6 reallocation and sharing of Federal Government spec7 trum for private sector use; 

8 (5) recognizing the important uses of spectrum 

9 by the Federal Government, including for national 

10 and homeland security, law enforcement and other 

11 critical federal uses, existing law ensures that Federal 

12 operations are not harmed as a result of a realloca13 tion of spectrum for commercial use, including 

14 through the establishment of the Spectrum Relocation 

15 Fund to reimburse Federal users for the costs of plan16 ning and implementing relocation and sharing ar17 rangements and, with respect to spectrum vacated by 

18 the Department of Defense, certification under section 

19 1062 of P.L. 106–65 by the Secretaries of Defense and 

20 Commerce and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 

21 Staff that replacement spectrum provides comparable 

22 technical characteristics to restore essential military 

23 capability; and 

24 (6) given the need to determine equitable out25 comes for the Nation in relation to spectrum use that 
1169 

† HR 4310 EAS1S 

1 balance the private sector’s demand for spectrum with 

2 national security and other critical federal missions, 

3 all interested parties should be encouraged to continue 

4 the collaborative efforts between industry and govern5 ment stakeholders that have been launched by the Na6 tional Telecommunications and Information Admin7 istration to assess and recommend practical frame8 works for the development of relocation, transition, 

9 and sharing arrangement and plans for 110 mega10 hertz of federal spectrum in the 1695–1710 MHz and 

11 the 1755–1850 MHz bands.
