18 underpin the independent nuclear deterrent of the 

19 United Kingdom. 

20 (2) April 2013 marked the 50-year anniversary 

21 of the agreement. 

22 (3) Since the inception of the agreement, the 

23 agreement has been a tremendous success and pro24 vided great benefits to both nations by creating 
64 

•HR 1960 EH

1 major cost savings, stronger nuclear deterrence, and 

2 a stronger alliance.

7 available to get such capability to commanders of 

8 the combatant commands should the capability be 

9 required; 

10 (4) the Secretary of the Air Force should pur11 sue both near- and long-term high power microwave 

12 weapon systems; 

13 (5) CHAMP could be developed as a cruise mis14 sile delivered weapon with target availability to com15 manders of the combatant commands by 2016; and 

16 (6) such development should not prohibit or di17 vert resources from an analysis of alternatives and

9 SEC. 232. ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SITE IN THE 

10 UNITED STATES FOR OPTIMIZED PROTEC11 TION OF THE HOMELAND. 

12 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find13 ings: 

14 (1) President George W. Bush and President 

15 Barack Obama have each recognized the necessity 

16 for an additional measure of protection–beyond mis17 sile defense sites in Alaska and California–for de18 fending the United States against intercontinental 

19 ballistic missile (ICBM) threats emanating from the 

20 Middle East. 

21 (2) General Jacoby, the Commander of the 

22 United States Northern Command, testified before 

23 Congress that ‘‘we should consider that Iran has a 

24 capability within the next few years of flight testing 
69 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ICBM capable technologies’’ and that ‘‘the Iranians 

2 are intent on developing an ICBM’’. 

3 (3) General Kehler, the Commander of the 

4 United States Strategic Command, testified before 

5 Congress that ‘‘I am confident that we can defend 

6 against a limited attack from Iran, although we are 

7 not in the most optimum posture to do that today 

8 * * * it doesn’t provide total defense today’’. 

9 (4) General Jacoby also testified before Con10 gress that ‘‘I would agree that a third site, wherever 

11 the decision is to build a third site, would give me 

12 better weapons access, increased GBI inventory and 

13 allow us the battle space to more optimize our de14 fense against future threats from Iran and North 

15 Korea’’. 

16 (5) Section 227 of the National Defense Au17 thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 

18 112–239; 126 Stat. 1678) directs the Missile De19 fense Agency— 

20 (A) to conduct environmental impact stud21 ies for three potential locations for an addi22 tional missile defense site capable of protecting 

23 the homeland; and 
70 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (B) to develop a contingency plan in case 

2 the President determines to proceed with de3 ployment of such an additional site. 

4 (6) According the Missile Defense Agency, the 

5 cost to deploy up to 20 ground-based interceptors 

6 (GBIs) at a new missile defense site on the East 

7 Coast of the United States is approximately 

8 $3,000,000,000 and would require approximately 5 

9 to 6 years to complete. 

10 (b) ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SITE.— 

11 (1) IN GENERAL.—The Missile Defense Agency 

12 shall construct and make operational in fiscal year 

13 2018 an additional homeland missile defense site ca14 pable of protecting the homeland, designed to com15 plement existing sites in Alaska and California, to 

16 deal more effectively with the long-range ballistic 

17 missile threat from the Middle East. 

18 (2) REQUIREMENT IN ADDITION TO OTHER RE19 QUIRED ACTIVITIES REGARDING MISSILE DEFENSE

20 SITES.—The Missile Defense Agency shall carry out 

21 the requirement in paragraph (1) to construct and 

22 deploy an additional homeland missile defense site 

23 (including any advance procurement and engineering 

24 and design in connection with such site) while con25 tinuing to meet the requirement to prepare environ-
71 

•HR 1960 EH

1 mental impact statements and a contingency plan 

2 under section 227 of the National Defense Author3 ization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 for the missile de4 fense sites described in that section. 

5 (3) REPORT.—Not later than 180 days after 

6 the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director 

7 of the Missile Defense Agency shall submit to Con8 gress a report on the missile defense site required to 

9 be constructed and deployed under paragraph (1). 

10 The report shall include a description of the current 

11 estimate of the funding to be required for construc12 tion and deployment of the missile defense site, in13 cluding for advance procurement, engineering and 

14 design, materials and construction, interceptor mis15 siles, and sensors. 

16 SEC. 233. LIMITATION ON REMOVAL OF MISSILE DEFENSE 

17 EQUIPMENT FROM EAST ASIA.

19 that— 

20 (1) the missile defenses of the United States 

21 provide defense against multiple threats, including 

22 threats to the United States, allies of the United 

23 States, and the deployed forces of the United States; 

24 and 
72 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) the elimination of one threat, for example 

2 the illegal nuclear weapons program of a rogue 

3 state, does not eliminate the reason the United 

4 States deploys missile defenses to a particular re5 gion, including to defend allies of the United States 

6 and deployed forces of the United States from other 

7 regional threats. 

8 (b) LIMITATION.—Except as provided by subsection

13 States from East Asia until a period of 180 days has 

14 elapsed following the date on which the President certifies 

15 to the congressional defense committees the following: 

16 (1) Each country in East Asia that poses a 

17 threat to allies of the United States has verifiably 

18 dismantled the nuclear weapons and ballistic missile 

19 programs of such country. 

20 (2) The President has consulted with such allies 

21 with respect to the dismantlement described in para22 graph (1) that— 

23 (A) such dismantlement has occurred; and 
73 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (B) the missile defense platforms of the 

2 United States located in East Asia are no 

3 longer needed. 

4 (c) WAIVER.—The President may waive the limita5 tion in subsection (b) with respect to removing missile de6 fense equipment of the United States from East Asia if—

10 the national security interest of the United 

11 States; and 

12 (B) a report, in unclassified form, explain13 ing— 

14 (i) why the President cannot make a 

15 certification for such removal under sub16 section (b); 

17 (ii) the national security interest cov18 ered by the certification made under sub19 paragraph (A); and 

20 (iii) how the President will provide a 

21 commensurate level of defense for the 

22 United States, allies of the United States, 

23 and deployed forces of the United States, 

24 as provided by such missile defense equip25 ment being removed; and 
74 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) a period of 30 days has elapsed following 

2 the date on which the President submits the infor3 mation under paragraph (1). 

4 (d) EXCEPTION.—The limitation in subsection (b) 

5 shall not apply to destroyers and cruisers of the Navy 

6 equipped with the Aegis ballistic missile defense system. 

7 SEC. 234. IMPROVEMENTS TO ACQUISITION ACCOUNT8 ABILITY REPORTS ON BALLISTIC MISSILE DE9 FENSE SYSTEM. 

10 (a) IN GENERAL.—Section 225 of title 10, United 

11 States Code, is amended—

18 all operation and support costs, regardless of funding 

19 source, for which the Director is responsible. 

20 ‘‘(2) In each such baseline submitted to the congres21 sional defense committees, the Director shall state wheth22 er the underlying cost estimates in such baseline meet the 

23 criteria of the Comptroller General of the United States 

24 to be considered a high-quality estimate. If the Director 

25 states that such estimates do not meet such criteria, the 
75 

•HR 1960 EH

1 Director shall include in such baseline the actions, includ2 ing a schedule, that the Director plans to carry out for 

3 the estimates to meet such criteria.’’. 

4 (b) REPORT.—Not later than February 15, 2014, the 

5 Director of the Missile Defense Agency shall submit to the

23 SEC. 238. NATO AND THE PHASED, ADAPTIVE APPROACH 

24 TO MISSILE DEFENSE IN EUROPE. 

25 (a) NATO FUNDING.— 
80 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (1) PHASE I OF EPAA.—Not later than 60 days 

2 after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 

3 President shall consult with the North Atlantic 

4 Council and the Secretary General of the North At5 lantic Treaty Organization (in this section referred 

6 to as ‘‘NATO’’) on— 

7 (A) the funding of the phased, adaptive ap8 proach to missile defense in Europe; and 

9 (B) establishing a plan for NATO to pro10 vide at least 50 percent of the infrastructure 

11 and operations and maintenance costs of phase 

12 I of the phased, adaptive approach to missile 

13 defense in Europe.

10 to missile defense in Europe. 

11 SEC. 239. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PROCUREMENT OF CA12 PABILITY ENHANCEMENT II 

13 EXOATMOSPHERIC KILL VEHICLE. 

14 It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of De15 fense should not procure a Capability Enhancement II 

16 exoatmospheric kill vehicle for deployment until after the 

17 date on which a successful operational flight test of the 

18 Capability Enhancement II ground-based interceptor has 

19 occurred unless such procurement is for test assets or to 

20 maintain a warm line for the industrial base. 

21 SEC. 240. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF 

22 THE STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

24 (1) President Ronald Reagan in March 1983, in 

25 a speech from the oval office, laid the corner stone 
82 

•HR 1960 EH

1 for a long-term research and development program 

2 to begin to achieve our ultimate goal of eliminating 

3 the threat posed by strategic nuclear missiles. 

4 (2) President Reagan stated, ‘‘I’ve become more 

5 and more deeply convinced that the human spirit 

6 must be capable of rising above dealing with other 

7 nations and human beings by threatening their ex8 istence * * * What if free people could live secure 

9 in the knowledge that their security did not rest 

10 upon the threat of instant United States retaliation 

11 to deter a Soviet attack, that we could intercept and 

12 destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they 

13 reached our own soil or that of our allies?’’. 

14 (3) The Strategic Defense Initiative, also 

15 known as ‘‘Star Wars’’, challenged the nation to ac16 complish the impossible by moving beyond the obvi17 ous possibilities of the day to set the United States 

18 and our allies up for success. 

19 (4) In 1999, the Ballistic Missile Defense Orga20 nization (BMDO), National Missile Defense (NMD) 

21 prototype interceptor successfully demonstrated ‘‘hit22 to-kill’’ technology intercepting a modified Minute23 man intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). 

24 (5) Congress passed the National Missile De25 fense Act of 1999 (Public Law 106–38) (signed by 
83 

•HR 1960 EH

1 President Clinton), which stated, ‘‘It is the policy of 

2 the United States to deploy, as soon as is techno3 logically possible, an effective National Missile De4 fense system capable of defending the territory of 

5 the United States against limited ballistic missile at6 tack (whether accidental, unauthorized, or delib7 erate)’’. 

8 (6) On December 13, 2001, President George 

9 W. Bush announced ‘‘I have concluded the ABM 

10 treaty hinders our government’s ability to develop 

11 ways to protect our people from future terrorist or 

12 rogue state missile attacks’’. 

13 (7) Russian President Vladimir Putin said the 

14 move was ‘‘not a threat to the security of the Rus15 sian Federation’’. 

16 (8) Since 2001, the United States has deployed 

17 considerable Missile Defense capability: 30 ground18 based interceptors defending the continental U.S. 

19 today; 32 Aegis BMD ships; 113 SM–3 IA intercep20 tors; 25 SM–3 IB interceptors; 3 THAAD batteries 

21 and 89 interceptors; and 8 AN/TPY–2 forward22 based sensors. 

23 (9) The United States has partnerships with 22 

24 nations, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

25 (NATO), for missile defense cooperation. Likewise, 
84 

•HR 1960 EH

1 India and South Korea are developing missile de2 fenses and the Russian Federation and People’s Re3 public of China are also developing and improving 

4 missile defenses. 

5 (10) Since 2001 when they began development, 

6 United States missile defenses have had a test 

7 record of 58 of 73 hit-to-kill intercept attempts and 

8 have been successful across all programs of the inte9 grated system, including Aegis Ballistic Missile De10 fense (BMD), Ground-based Midcourse Defense 

11 (GMD), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense 

12 (THAAD), and PATRIOT Advanced Capability–3. 

13 (11) In July of 2004, the United States missile 

14 defense system was declared operational with limited 

15 capability. Since that time, it has offered defense 

16 against limited threats to the continental United 

17 States. 

18 (12) The United States has cooperatively devel19 oped with our Israeli allies a number of missile de20 fense systems including Arrow, Arrow 3 and David’s 

21 Sling, systems which will protector our Israeli allies 

22 and contribute technology and expertise to United 

23 States systems. 

24 (13) The United States in support of NATO 

25 deployed a Patriot missile battery to defend the pop-
85 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ulation and territory of Turkey and provide material 

2 support for Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty 

3 in the event of spillover from the Syrian civil war 

4 and has deployed Phase I of the European Phased 

5 Adaptive Approach, which includes a transportable 

6 x-band radar array and an on-station AEGIS bal7 listic missile defense ship armed with Standard Mis8 sile 3 block IA missile interceptors. 

9 (14) When United States territory, deployed 

10 forces and allies were threatened by North Korean 

11 ballistic missiles the United States had the oper12 ational capability and national will to deploy 

13 THAAD units to Guam to provide a defensive 

14 shield. 

15 (15) The United States continues to work joint16 ly with Japan to improve the Navy Aegis Ballistic 

17 Missile Defense (BMD) which in addition to pro18 viding missile defense in the Pacific is also a key19 stone in the Phased Adaptive Approach for Euro20 pean missile defense. 

21 (16) On-going research and development under 

22 the auspices of the Missile Defense Agency will con23 tinue to expand the technology envelope to deploy a 

24 layered missile defense system capable of defending 

25 the homeland, our military forces deployed overseas, 
86 

•HR 1960 EH

1 friendly nations and our allies against all ballistic 

2 missiles from launch and orbit to reentry. 

3 (17) A credible ballistic missile defense system 

4 is critical to the national defense of the United 

5 States. 

6 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 

7 (1) recognizes the inspiring leadership of Presi8 dent Ronald Reagan to ‘‘maintain the peace through 

9 strength’’; 

10 (2) recognizes the enduring obligation President 

11 as Commander in Chief to‘‘ preserve, protect, and 

12 defend the Constitution’’; 

13 (3) commemorates the vision of President 

14 Reagan on the 30th anniversary of the Strategic De15 fense Initiative; 

16 (4) believes that it is imperative that the United 

17 States continue fielding a robust missile defense sys18 tem, including additional ground based interceptors; 

19 and 

20 (5) commits to supporting continued invest21 ments in future missile defense capabilities and 

22 emerging technologies such as directed energy and 

23 railguns. 
87 

•HR 1960 EH

1 SEC. 241. READINESS OF INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC 

2 MISSILE FORCE. 

3 The Secretary of Defense shall preserve each inter4 continental ballistic missile silo that contains a deployed 

5 missile as of the date of the enactment of this Act in, at 

6 minimum, a warm status that enables such silo to— 

7 (1) remain a fully functioning element of the 

8 interconnected and redundant command and control 

9 system of the missile field; and 

10 (2) be made fully operational with a deployed 

11 missile. 

12 SEC. 242. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NEGOTIATIONS AFFECT13 ING THE MISSILE DEFENSES OF THE UNITED 

14 STATES. 

15 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

16 (1) On April 15, 2013, the National Security 

17 Advisor to the President, Tom Donilon, conveyed a 

18 personal letter from President Obama to the Presi19 dent of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. 

20 (2) Press reports indicate that in this letter the 

21 President proposed, ‘‘developing a legally-binding 

22 agreement on transparency, which would include ex23 change of information to confirm that our programs 

24 do not pose a threat to each other’s deterrence 

25 forces,’’ through ‘‘a so-called executive agreement, 
88 

•HR 1960 EH

1 for which [the President] does not need to seek the 

2 consent of Congress.’’. 

3 (3) The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, 

4 Sergei Ryabkov, stated in response to the letter that, 

5 ‘‘the proposals of the U.S. side on the issue are 

6 quite concrete and are related in a certain way to 

7 the discussions our countries had at various levels in 

8 the past years. And it cannot be said from this point 

9 of view that the offers are decorative and not seri10 ous. No, I want to emphasize that we are commit11 ting to the seriousness of these proposals but we 

12 note their insufficiency.’’. 

13 (4) Press reports indicate that the Secretary of 

14 the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, 

15 conveyed a response to the letter from President 

16 Putin. 

17 (5) President Obama’s proposed deal with Rus18 sian President Putin has been kept secret from Con19 gress and the American people. 

20 (6) The Administration has systematically de21 nied Congress information about past offers of 

22 United States missile defense concessions to Russia, 

23 including written requests from Members of the 

24 House of Representatives. 
89 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con2 gress that— 

3 (1) the President should promptly convey to 

4 Congress the details of any proposed deals with the 

5 Russian Federation concerning the missile defenses 

6 or nuclear arms of the United States; and 

7 (2) the missile defenses of the United States 

8 are central to the defense of the homeland from bal9 listic missile threats, particularly if nuclear deter10 rence fails, thus such defenses are not something 

11 that the President should continue to trade away for 

12 the prospects of nuclear arms reductions with Rus13 sia, the People’s Republic of China, or any other for14 eign country.

3 SEC. 555. TRANSITION OF MEMBERS OF THE ARMED 

4 FORCES AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM MILI5 TARY TO CIVILIAN LIFE. 

6 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 

7 (1) Members of the Armed Forces and their 

8 families make great sacrifices on behalf of the 

9 United States, and, when their active duty service is 

10 successfully concluded, members deserve the oppor11 tunity to also make a successful transition to the ci12 vilian labor force. 

13 (2) When transitioning from active duty in the 

14 Armed Forces to civilian employment, members 

15 often face barriers that make it difficult to fully uti16 lize the skills and training they gained during their 

17 military service. 

18 (3) Members and veterans are too often re19 quired to repeat education or training in order to re20 ceive industry certifications and State occupational 

21 licenses, even though their military training and ex22 perience often overlaps with the certification or li23 censing requirements. 

24 (4) When members are transferred from mili25 tary assignment to military assignment, their 
271 

•HR 1960 EH

1 spouses often face barriers to transferring their cre2 dentials and to securing employment in their new lo3 cation. 

4 (5) More than one million members will make 

5 the transition to civilian life in the coming years. 

6 (6) The Department of Defense established the 

7 Military Credentialing and Licensing Task Force in 

8 2012. 

9 (7) The Joining Forces program, a national ini10 tiative to mobilize all sectors of society to give mem11 bers of the Armed Forces and their families the op12 portunities and support they have earned, will make 

13 it easier for members and their families to transfer 

14 skills learned while the member was serving in the 

15 Armed Forces to civilian employment. 

16 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con17 gress that— 

18 (1) the Federal Government and State govern19 ments should make the transition of a member of 

20 the Armed Forces and the member’s spouse from 

21 military to civilian life as seamless as possible by 

22 creating opportunities for the member and spouse to 

23 earn, while the member is in the Armed Forces, ci24 vilian occupational credentials and licenses, with an 

25 emphasis on well-paying industries and occupations 
272 

•HR 1960 EH

1 that have a high demand for skilled workers, includ2 ing: manufacturing, information technology, trans3 portation and logistics, health care, and emergency 

4 medical services; 

5 (2) the Federal Government should assist State 

6 governments in translating military training and ex7 perience into credit towards professional licensure; 

8 and 

9 (3) State governments should streamline ap10 proaches for assessing the equivalency of military 

11 training and experience, and accelerate occupational 

12 licensing processes for members, veterans, and their 

13 spouses.

22 OF THE ARMED FORCES KILLED IN THUR23 STON ISLAND, ANTARCTICA. 

24 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find25 ings: 
337 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (1) Commencing August 26, 1946, though late 

2 February 1947 the United States Navy Antarctic 

3 Developments Program Task Force 68, codenamed 

4 ‘‘Operation Highjump’’ initiated and undertook the 

5 largest ever-to-this-date exploration of the Antarctic 

6 continent. 

7 (2) The primary mission of the Task Force 68 

8 organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr. 

9 USN, (Ret) and led by Rear Admiral Richard H. 

10 Cruzen, USN, was to do the following: 

11 (A) Establish the Antarctic research base 

12 Little America IV. 

13 (B) In the defense of the United States of 

14 America from possible hostile aggression from 

15 abroad—to train personnel test equipment, de16 velop techniques for establishing, maintaining 

17 and utilizing air bases on ice, with applicability 

18 comparable to interior Greenland, where condi19 tions are similar to those of the Antarctic. 

20 (C) Map and photograph a full two-thirds 

21 of the Antarctic Continent during the classified, 

22 hazardous duty/volunteer-only operation involv23 ing 4700 sailors, 23 aircraft and 13 ships in24 cluding the first submarine the U.S.S. Sennet, 

25 and the aircraft carrier the U.S.S. Philippine

5 sovereignty over the largest practicable area of 

6 the Antarctic continent. 

7 (E) Determine the feasibility of estab8 lishing, maintaining and utilizing bases in the 

9 Antarctic and investigating possible base sites. 

10 (3) While on a hazardous duty/all volunteer 

11 mission vital to the interests of National Security 

12 and while over the eastern Antarctica coastline 

13 known as the Phantom Coast, the PBM–5 Martin 

14 Mariner ‘‘Flying Boat’’ ‘‘George 1’’ entered a 

15 whiteout over Thurston Island. As the pilot at16 tempted to climb, the aircraft grazed the glacier’s 

17 ridgeline and exploded within 5 seconds instantly 

18 killing Ensign Maxwell Lopez, Navigator and Wen19 dell ‘‘Bud’’ Hendersin, Aviation Machinists Mate 1st 

20 Class while Frederick Williams, Aviation Radioman 

21 1st Class died several hours later. Six other crewmen 

22 survived including the Captain of the ‘‘George 1’s’’ 

23 seaplane tender U.S.S. Pine Island. 

24 (4) The bodies of the dead were protected from 

25 the desecration of Antarctic scavenging birds 
339 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (Skuas) by the surviving crew wrapping the bodies 

2 and temporarily burying the men under the star3 board wing engine nacelle. 

4 (5) Rescue requirements of the ‘‘George–1’’ 

5 survivors forced the abandonment of their 

6 crewmates’ bodies. 

7 (6) Conditions prior to the departure of Task 

8 Force 68 precluded a return to the area to the re9 cover the bodies. 

10 (7) For nearly 60 years Navy promised the 

11 families that they would recover the men: ‘‘If the 

12 safety, logistical, and operational prerequisites allow 

13 a mission in the future, every effort will be made to 

14 bring our sailors home.’’. 

15 (8) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command 

16 twice offered to recover the bodies of this crew for 

17 Navy. 

18 (9) A 2004 NASA ground penetrating radar 

19 overflight commissioned by Navy relocated the crash 

20 site three miles from its crash position. 

21 (10) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Com22 mand offered to underwrite the cost of an aerial 

23 ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey of the crash 

24 site area by NASA. 
340 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (11) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Com2 mand studied the recovery with the recognized recov3 ery authorities and national scientists and deter4 mined that the recovery is only ‘‘medium risk’’. 

5 (12) National Science Foundation and sci6 entists from the University of Texas, Austin, regu7 larly visit the island. 

8 (13) The crash site is classified as a ‘‘perishable 

9 site’’, meaning a glacier that will calve into the 

10 Bellingshausen Sea. 

11 (14) The National Science Foundation main12 tains a presence in area—of the Pine Island Glacier. 

13 (15) The National Science Foundation Director 

14 of Polar Operations will assist and provide assets for 

15 the recovery upon the request of Congress. 

16 (16) The United States Coast Guard is pres17 ently pursuing the recovery of 3 WWII air crewmen 

18 from similar circumstances in Greenland. 

19 (17) On Memorial Day, May 25, 2009, Presi20 dent Barack Obama declared: ‘‘* * * the support of 

21 our veterans is a sacred trust * * * we need to serve 

22 them as they have served us * * * that means bring23 ing home all our POWs and MIAs * * *’’. 
341 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (18) The policies and laws of the United States 

2 of America require that our armed service personnel 

3 be repatriated. 

4 (19) The fullest possible accounting of United 

5 States fallen military personnel means repatriating 

6 living American POWs and MIAs, accounting for, 

7 identifying, and recovering the remains of military 

8 personnel who were killed in the line of duty, or pro9 viding convincing evidence as to why such a repatri10 ation, accounting, identification, or recovery is not 

11 possible. 

12 (20) It is the responsibility of the Federal Gov13 ernment to return to the United States for proper 

14 burial and respect all members of the Armed Forces 

15 killed in the line of duty who lie in lost graves. 

16 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of the findings 

17 under subsection (a), Congress— 

18 (1) reaffirms its support for the recovery and 

19 return to the United States, the remains and bodies 

20 of all members of the Armed Forces killed in the 

21 line of duty, and for the efforts by the Joint POW22 MIA Accounting Command to recover the remains of 

23 members of the Armed Forces from all wars, con24 flicts and missions; 
342 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) recognizes the courage and sacrifice of all 

2 members of the Armed Forces who participated in 

3 Operation Highjump and all missions vital to the 

4 national security of the United States of America; 

5 (3) acknowledges the dedicated research and ef6 forts by the US Geological Survey, the National 

7 Science Foundation, the Joint POW/MIA Account8 ing Command, the Fallen American Veterans Foun9 dation and all persons and organizations to identify, 

10 locate, and advocate for, from their temporary Ant11 arctic grave, the recovery of the well-preserved fro12 zen bodies of Ensign Maxwell Lopez, Naval Aviator, 

13 Frederick Williams, Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1ST 

14 Class, Wendell Hendersin, Aviation Radioman 1ST 

15 Class of the ‘‘George 1’’ explosion and crash; and 

16 (4) encourages the Department of Defense to 

17 review the facts, research and to pursue new efforts 

18 to undertake all feasible efforts to recover, identify, 

19 and return the well-preserved frozen bodies of the 

20 ‘‘George 1’’ crew from Antarctica’s Thurston Island.

3 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find4 ings: 

5 (1) The battle force of the Navy must be suffi6 ciently sized and balanced in capability to meet cur7 rent and anticipated future national security objec8 tives. 

9 (2) A robust and balanced naval force is re10 quired for the Department of Defense to fully exe11 cute the President’s National Security Strategy. 

12 (3) To develop and sustain required capabilities 

13 the Navy must balance investment and maintenance 

14 costs across various ship types, including— 

15 (A) aircraft carriers; 

16 (B) surface combatants; 

17 (C) submarines; 

18 (D) amphibious assault ships; and 

19 (E) other auxiliary vessels, including sup20 port vessels operated by the Military Sealift 

21 Command.

23 amphibious assault ships, the Navy possesses only 

24 30 amphibious assault ships with an average of 22 

25 ships available for surge deployment. 
494 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (5) The inadequate level of investment in Navy 

2 shipbuilding over the last 20 years has resulted in— 

3 (A) a fragile shipbuilding industrial base, 

4 both in the construction yards and secondary 

5 suppliers of materiel and equipment; and 

6 (B) increased costs per vessel stemming 

7 from low production volume. 

8 (6) The Department of Defense, Military Con9 struction and Veterans Affairs, and Full-Year Con10 tinuing Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2013 

11 provided $263,000,000 towards the advance procure12 ment of materiel and equipment required to continue 

13 the San Antonio LPD 17 amphibious transport dock 

14 class to a total of 12 ships, a key first step in rebal15 ancing the amphibious assault ship force structure. 

16 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the Sense of Con17 gress that— 

18 (1) the Department of Defense and the Depart19 ment of the Navy must prioritize funding towards 

20 increased shipbuilding rates to enable the Navy to 

21 meet the full-range of combatant commander re22 quests; 

23 (2) the Department of the Navy’s future budget 

24 requests and the Long Range Plan for the Construc25 tion of Naval Forces must realistically anticipate 
495 

•HR 1960 EH

1 and reflect the true investment necessary to meet 

2 stated force structure goals; 

3 (3) without modification to Long Range Plan 

4 for the Construction of Naval Forces shipbuilding 

5 plan, the future of the industrial base that enables 

6 construction of large, combat-survivable amphibious 

7 assault ships is at significant risk; and 

8 (4) the Department of Defense and Congress 

9 should act expeditiously to restore the force struc10 ture and capability balance of the Navy fleet as 

11 quickly as possible.

17 (1) a detailed description of the term of the 

18 proposed contract for the extension or renewal of the 

19 lease and a justification for extending or renewing 

20 the lease rather than obtaining the capability pro21 vided for by the lease, charter, or services involved

7 SEC. 1055. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COMPLIANCE WITH NU8 CLEAR ARMS CONTROL AGREEMENTS. 

9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

10 (1) President Obama stated in Prague in April 

11 2009 that ‘‘Rules must be binding. Violations must 

12 be punished. Words must mean something.’’. 

13 (2) President Obama’s Nuclear Posture Review 

14 of 2010 stated, ‘‘it is not enough to detect non-com15 pliance; violators must know that they will face con16 sequences when they are caught.’’. 

17 (3) The July 2010 Verifiability Assessment re18 leased by the Department of State on the New 

19 START Treaty stated, ‘‘The costs and risks of Rus20 sian cheating or breakout, on the other hand, would 

21 likely be very significant. In addition to the financial 

22 and international political costs of such an action, 

23 any Russian leader considering cheating or breakout 

24 from the New START Treaty would have to con25 sider that the United States will retain the ability to 
536 

•HR 1960 EH

1 upload large numbers of additional nuclear warheads 

2 on both bombers and missiles under the New 

3 START, which would provide the ability for a timely 

4 and very significant U.S. response.’’. 

5 (4) Subsection (a) of the Resolution of Advice 

6 and Consent to Ratification of the New START 

7 Treaty of the Senate, agreed to on December 22, 

8 2010, listed conditions of the Senate to the ratifica9 tion of the New START Treaty that are binding 

10 upon the President, including the condition under 

11 paragraph (1)(B) of such subsection that requires 

12 the President to take certain actions in response to 

13 actions by the Russian Federation that are in viola14 tion of or inconsistent with such treaty, including to 

15 ‘‘seek on an urgent basis a meeting with the Russian 

16 Federation at the highest diplomatic level with the 

17 objective of bringing the Russian Federation into 

18 full compliance with its obligations under the New 

19 START Treaty’’. 

20 (5) The Obama Administration demonstrated 

21 that violations of treaty obligations by other parties 

22 require corresponding action by the United States 

23 when, on November 22, 2011, the Department of 

24 State announced that the United States would 

25 ‘‘cease carrying out certain obligations under the 
537 

•HR 1960 EH

1 Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Trea2 ty with regard to Russia. This announcement in the 

3 CFE Treaty’s implementation group comes after the 

4 United States and NATO Allies have tried over the 

5 past 4 years to find a diplomatic solution following 

6 Russia’s decision in 2007 to cease implementation 

7 with respect to all other 29 CFE States. Since then, 

8 Russia has refused to accept inspections and ceased 

9 to provide information to other CFE Treaty parties 

10 on its military forces as required by the Treaty.’’. 

11 (6) On October 17, 2012, the Chairman of the 

12 Committee on Armed Services of the House of Rep13 resentatives and the Chairman of the Permanent Se14 lect Committee on Intelligence of the House of Rep15 resentatives wrote a classified letter to the President 

16 stating their concerns about a major arms control 

17 violation by the Russian Federation. 

18 (7) The Chairmen followed up their classified 

19 letter with unclassified letters on February 14 and 

20 April 12, 2013—in their latest letter, the Chairmen 

21 stated that they expect the Administration to ‘‘di22 rectly confront the Russian violations and cir23 cumventions of this and other treaties. . .[we] fur24 ther ask, again, for your engagement in correcting 

25 this behavior. We also seek your commitment not to 
538 

•HR 1960 EH

1 undertake further reductions to the U.S. nuclear de2 terrent or extended deterrent until this Russian be3 havior is corrected. We are in full agreement with 

4 your policy as you articulated it in Prague four 

5 years ago this month, ‘rules must be binding, Viola6 tions must be punished. Words must mean some7 thing.’ ’’. 

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con9 gress that the President should consider not seeking to 

10 further limit or reduce the nuclear forces of the United 

11 States, including by negotiation, with a foreign country 

12 that remains in active noncompliance with existing nuclear 

13 arms obligations, such as the Russian Federation. 

14 (c) OBLIGATIONS OF THE PRESIDENT IN THE EVENT

15 OF NONCOMPLIANCE.—If the President determines that 

16 a foreign country is not in compliance with its obligations 

17 under a nuclear arms control agreement, treaty, or com18 mitment to which the United States is a party or in which 

19 the United States is a participating government, including 

20 the Missile Technology Control Regime, the President 

21 shall— 

22 (1) immediately consult with Congress regard23 ing the implications of such noncompliance for— 

24 (A) the viability of such agreement, treaty, 

25 or commitment; and 
539 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (B) the national security interests of the 

2 United States and the allies of the United 

3 States; 

4 (2) submit to Congress a plan concerning the 

5 diplomatic strategy of the President to engage such 

6 foreign country at the highest diplomatic level with 

7 the objective of bringing such country into full com8 pliance with such obligations; and 

9 (3) at the earliest date practicable following the 

10 submission of the plan under paragraph (2), submit 

11 to Congress a report detailing— 

12 (A) whether adherence by the United 

13 States to such obligation remains in the na14 tional security interests of the United States or 

15 the allies of the United States; and 

16 (B) how the United States will redress the 

17 effect of such noncompliance to the national se18 curity interests of the United States or such al19 lies.

11 SEC. 1095. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPROVISED EXPLO12 SIVE DEVICES. 

13 It is the sense of Congress that— 

14 (1) the use of improvised explosive devices (in 

15 this section referred to as ‘‘IEDs’’) against members 

16 of the Armed Forces or people of the United States 

17 should be condemned; 

18 (2) unwavering support for members of the 

19 Armed Forces, first responders, and explosive ord20 nance disposal personnel of the United States who 

21 face the threat of IEDs and put their lives on the 

22 line to defeat them should be expressed; 

23 (3) all relevant agencies of the Government 

24 should be called on to coordinate with international 
595 

•HR 1960 EH

1 partners and other responsible entities to reduce the 

2 use of IEDs and curb their proliferation; and 

3 (4) the exchange of blast trauma research data 

4 should be facilitated between all relevant agencies of 

5 the Government. 

6 SEC. 1096. SENSE OF CONGRESS TO MAINTAIN A STRONG 

7 NATIONAL GUARD AND MILITARY RESERVE 

8 FORCE. 

9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

10 (1) The first volunteer militia unit in America 

11 was formed in 1636 in Massachusetts Bay, followed 

12 by other units in the colonies of Virginia and Con13 necticut. the American founding fathers wrote article 

14 I, section 8, of the United States Constitution to 

15 keep the militia model, authorizing a standing mili16 tary force that could organize, train, and equip mili17 tia volunteers when needed. 

18 (2) In World War I, nearly all National 

19 Guardsmen were mobilized into Federal service, and 

20 while they represented only 15 percent of the total 

21 United States Army, they comprised 40 percent of 

22 the American divisions sent to France and sustained 

23 43 percent of the casualties in combat. In World 

24 War II, the National Guard comprised 19 Army di-
596 

•HR 1960 EH

1 visions and 29 observation squadrons with aircraft 

2 assigned to the United States Army Air Forces. 

3 (3) On September 11, 2001, the first fighter 

4 jets over New York City and Washington, DC, were 

5 Air National Guard F–15 and F–16 aircraft from 

6 Massachusetts and North Dakota, with over 400 

7 more Air National Guard fighter aircraft on alert by 

8 that afternoon. Over 600,000 Air and Army Na9 tional Guard soldiers and airmen have deployed in 

10 the many campaigns since 9/11. 

11 (4) Air and Army National Guard soldiers and 

12 airmen have been involved in countless domestic re13 sponse missions, including missions in response to 

14 hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and forest fires includ15 ing the more recent events of Superstorm Sandy and 

16 the tornados in Oklahoma. 

17 (5) The volunteer National Guard and Reserve 

18 have time and again demonstrated their readiness to 

19 meet operational requirements through cost-effective 

20 means. 

21 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con22 gress that— 

23 (1) the Secretary of Defense should make every 

24 effort to ensure the Military Reserve and National 

25 Guard forces are sustained by a fully manned and 
597 

•HR 1960 EH

1 fully funded force and that the United States fulfill 

2 its longstanding commitment to unyielding readiness 

3 in terms of defense; 

4 (2) the Secretary of Defense should act with 

5 the knowledge that the National Guard and Reserve 

6 are critical components to the Armed Forces, par7 ticularly as means of preserving combat power dur8 ing a time of budget austerity; and 

9 (3) Congress repudiates proposals to diminish 

10 the National Guard or Reserve and affirms the 

11 growth of these components as circumstances war12 rant. 

13 SEC. 1097. ACCESS OF EMPLOYEES OF CONGRESSIONAL 

14 SUPPORT OFFICES TO DEPARTMENT OF DE15 FENSE FACILITIES. 

16 (a) FINDING.—Congress finds that Congressional 

17 support offices perform a critical role in enabling Congress 

18 to carry out its Constitutionally-mandated task of per19 forming oversight of the executive branch. 

20 (b) ACCESS IN SAME MANNER AS EMPLOYEES OF

21 DEFENSE COMMITTEES.—The Secretary of Defense shall 

22 provide employees of any Congressional support office who 

23 work on issues related to national security with access to 

24 facilities of the Department of Defense in the same man25 ner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as em-
598 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ployees of the Committees on Armed Services of the House 

2 of Representatives and Senate. 

3 (c) CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT OFFICES DEFINED.— 

4 In this section, the term ‘‘Congressional support office’’ 

5 means any of the following: 

6 (1) The Congressional Budget Office. 

7 (2) The Congressional Research Service of the 

8 Library of Congress. 

9 (3) The Government Accountability Office. 

10 SEC. 1098. COST OF WARS. 

11 The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 

12 Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service and the Di13 rector of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, shall post on 

14 the public Web site of the Department of Defense the 

15 costs, including the relevant legacy costs, to each Amer16 ican taxpayer of each of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. 

17 SEC. 1099. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CONSIDER18 ATION OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND CUL19 TURES IN THE BUILDING OF PARTNER CA20 PACITY. 

21 It is the sense of Congress that the head of each ele22 ment of the Department of Defense should take into con23 sideration foreign languages and cultures during the devel24 opment by such element of the Department of training, 
599 

•HR 1960 EH

1 tools, and methodologies to engage in military-to-military 

2 activities and in the building of partner capacity. 

3 SEC. 1099A. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PRESERVA4 TION OF SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF 

5 ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL STA6 TIONED OR RESIDING IN THE DISTRICT OF 

7 COLUMBIA. 

8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

9 (1) The Second Amendment to the United 

10 States Constitution provides that the right of the 

11 people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. 

12 (2) Approximately 40,000 servicemen and 

13 women across all branches of the Armed Forces ei14 ther live in or are stationed on active duty within the 

15 Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Unless these 

16 individuals are granted a waiver as serving in a law 

17 enforcement role, they are subject to the District of 

18 Columbia’s onerous and highly restrictive laws on 

19 the possession of firearms. 

20 (3) Military personnel, despite being extensively 

21 trained in the proper and safe use of firearms, are 

22 therefore deprived by the laws of the District of Co23 lumbia of handguns, rifles, and shotguns that are 

24 commonly kept by law-abiding persons throughout 

25 the United States for sporting use and for lawful de-
600 

•HR 1960 EH

1 fense of their persons, homes, businesses, and fami2 lies. 

3 (4) The District of Columbia has one of the 

4 highest per capita murder rates in the Nation, which 

5 may be attributed in part to previous local laws pro6 hibiting possession of firearms by law-abiding per7 sons who would have otherwise been able to defend 

8 themselves and their loved ones in their own homes 

9 and businesses. 

10 (5) The Gun Control Act of 1968 (as amended 

11 by the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act) and the 

12 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act provide 

13 comprehensive Federal regulations applicable in the 

14 District of Columbia as elsewhere. In addition, exist15 ing District of Columbia criminal laws punish pos16 session and illegal use of firearms by violent crimi17 nals and felons. Consequently, there is no need for 

18 local laws that only affect and disarm law-abiding 

19 citizens. 

20 (6) On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court of 

21 the United States in the case of District of Columbia 

22 v. Heller held that the Second Amendment protects 

23 an individual’s right to possess a firearm for tradi24 tionally lawful purposes, and thus ruled that the 

25 District of Columbia’s handgun ban and require-
601 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ments that rifles and shotguns in the home be kept 

2 unloaded and disassembled or outfitted with a trig3 ger lock to be unconstitutional. 

4 (7) On July 16, 2008, the District of Columbia 

5 enacted the Firearms Control Emergency Amend6 ment Act of 2008 (D.C. Act 17–422; 55 DCR 

7 8237), which places onerous restrictions on the abil8 ity of law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms, 

9 thus violating the spirit by which the Supreme Court 

10 of the United States ruled in District of Columbia v. 

11 Heller. 

12 (8) On February 26, 2009, the United States 

13 Senate adopted an amendment on a bipartisan vote 

14 of 62–36 by Senator John Ensign to S. 160, the 

15 District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 

16 2009, which would fully restore Second Amendment 

17 rights to the citizens of the District of Columbia. 

18 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con19 gress that active duty military personnel who are stationed 

20 or residing in the District of Columbia should be permitted 

21 to exercise fully their rights under the Second Amendment 

22 to the Constitution of the United States and therefore 

23 should be exempt from the District of Columbia’s restric24 tions on the possession of firearms.

9 SEC. 1220. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 

10 (a) PURPOSE.—Expressing the Sense of the House 

11 or Representatives that the Special Immigration Visa pro12 grams authorized in the National Defense Authorization 

13 Act for Fiscal Year 2008 and the Afghan Allies Protection 

14 Act of 2009 are critical to the United States national secu15 rity, and that these programs must be reformed and ex16 tended in order to meet the Congressional intent with 

17 which they were created. 

18 (b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

19 (1) Congress created the Special Immigration 

20 Visa program for the purposes of protecting and aid21 ing the many brave Iraqis and Afghans whose lives, 

22 and the lives of their families, were endangered as 

23 a result of their faithful and valuable service to the 

24 United States during Operations Enduring Freedom 

25 and Iraqi Freedom. 
650 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) The Iraq Special Immigrant Visa program 

2 is set to expire at the end of fiscal year 2013. 

3 (3) The Afghanistan Special Immigrant Visa 

4 program is set to expire at the end of fiscal year 

5 2014. 

6 (4) Despite the pending expiration of the Spe7 cial Immigrant Visa programs, many brave Iraqis, 

8 Afghans, and their families, continue to face ongoing 

9 and serious threats as a result of their employment 

10 by or on behalf of the United States Government. 

11 (5) Between FY08–FY12, only 22 percent of 

12 the available Iraqi SIVs (5,500 visas out of 25,000 

13 visas) have been issued and 12 percent of the avail14 able Afghan SIVs (1,051 visas out of 8,500 visas) 

15 have been issued. 

16 (6) As the Washington Post reported in Octo17 ber 2012, over 5,000 documentarily complete Af18 ghan SIV applications remained in a backlog. 

19 (7) The implementation of the Special Immigra20 tion Visa programs has been protracted and ineffi21 cient. 

22 (8) The application and approval process for 

23 the Special Immigration Visa program is unneces24 sarily opaque and difficult to navigate. 
651 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (9) Applicants in both Iraq and Afghanistan 

2 often have effusive recommendations from numerous 

3 military personnel, have served the United States 

4 war efforts for many years, and have served val5 iantly, in some instances literally taking a bullet for 

6 a United States service member, and yet are denied 

7 approval for a Special Immigration Visa with little 

8 to no transparency. 

9 (10) Overly narrow provisions contained in the 

10 Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 leave many de11 serving Afghans and their families in need of United 

12 States assistance, but unable to access the Special 

13 Immigration Visa program. 

14 (11) The United States has a responsibility to 

15 follow through on its promise to protect those Iraqis 

16 and Afghans who have risked their lives to aid our 

17 troops and protect America’s security. 

18 (12) The extension and reform of the Iraq and 

19 Afghanistan Special Immigrant Visa programs is a 

20 matter of national security. 

21 (13) The extension and reform of the Afghan 

22 Special Immigrant Visa program is essential to the 

23 United States mission in Afghanistan. 
652 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (c) SENSE OF THE HOUSE.—It is the sense of the 

2 House of Representatives that the Iraq and Afghanistan 

3 Special Immigrant Visa programs should be— 

4 (1) reformed by— 

5 (A) ensuring applications are processed in 

6 a timely, and transparent fashion; 

7 (B) providing parity between the two Spe8 cial Immigrant Visa programs so that Afghan 

9 principal applicants, like Iraqi principal appli10 cants, are able to include their spouse, children, 

11 siblings, and parents; and 

12 (C) expanding eligibility for the Special 

13 Immigrant Visa programs to Afghan or Iraqi 

14 men and women employed by, or on behalf of, 

15 a media or nongovernmental organization 

16 headquartered in the United States, or an orga17 nization or entity closely associated with the 

18 United States mission in Iraq or Afghanistan 

19 that has received United States Government 

20 funding through an official and documented 

21 contract, award, grant, or cooperative agree22 ment; and 

23 (2) extended in— 
653 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (A) Iraq through the year 2018, without 

2 authorizing any additional Special Immigrant 

3 Visas as authorized in the original statue; and 

4 (B) Afghanistan through the year 2018, 

5 without authorizing any additional Special Im6 migrant Visas as authorized in the original 

7 statue.

10 (Public Law 111–84; 123 Stat. 2542) is amended— 

11 (1) in subparagraph (C), by striking ‘‘and’’ at

11 SEC. 1233. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DEFENSE OF THE 

12 ARABIAN GULF. 

13 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

14 (1) In response to U.S. Central Command re15 quirements, the United States Navy has maintained, 

16 on average, more than one aircraft carrier in the 

17 Arabian Gulf for more than five years. 

18 (2) In February 2013, the senior leadership of 

19 the Department of Defense elected to reduce the 

20 number of aircraft carriers deployed to the Arabian 

21 Gulf in light of budget constraints and limitation of 

22 the overall carrier force structure to support the two 

23 aircraft carrier requirement. 

24 (3) In reference to the decision to indefinitely 

25 delay the deployment of the USS Harry Truman, 
666 

•HR 1960 EH

1 CVN 75, and the USS Gettysburg, its cruiser escort, 

2 Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Martin 

3 Dempsey stated, ‘‘We’re trying to stretch our readi4 ness out by keeping this particular carrier in home5 port in our global response force, so if something 

6 happens elsewhere in the world, we can respond to 

7 it. Had we deployed it and ‘consumed’ that readi8 ness, we could have created a situation where down9 stream we wouldn’t have a carrier present in certain 

10 parts of the world at all.’’. 

11 (4) Highlighting the risks of having only one 

12 aircraft carrier in the region and relying on land13 based aircraft, General Dempsey stated, ‘‘When you 

14 have carrier-based aircraft, you have complete au15 tonomy and control over when you use them. When 

16 you use land-based aircraft, you often have to have 

17 host-nation permission to use them.’’. 

18 (5) Addressing the perception of the United 

19 States commitment to the region, General James 

20 Mattis, Commander of U.S. Central Command, tes21 tified in March 2013, ‘‘Perhaps the greatest risk to 

22 U.S. interests in the region is a perceived lack of an 

23 enduring U.S. commitment to collective interests 

24 and the security of our regional partners.’’. He went 

25 on to testify that, ‘‘The drawdown of our forces can 
667 

•HR 1960 EH

1 be misinterpreted as a lack of attention, a lack of 

2 commitment to the region.’’. 

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

5 (1) maintaining only one aircraft carrier battle 

6 group in the Arabian Gulf constrains United States’ 

7 options and could put at risk the ability to have di8 versified platforms from which to defend the Ara9 bian Gulf and, if necessary, to conduct military oper10 ations to prevent Iran from threatening the United 

11 States, United States allies, or Iran’s neighbors with 

12 nuclear weapons; 

13 (2) it is in the interests of the United States to 

14 maintain both land-based and sea-based capabilities 

15 in the region to project force; 

16 (3) land-based locations in the region could re17 strict United States military options and critically 

18 impact the operational capability if required to con19 duct a defense of the Arabian Gulf because the 

20 United States has not finalized bilateral security 

21 agreements with key Gulf Cooperation Council coun22 tries; 

23 (4) as a result of these and other critical limita24 tions associated with maintaining one aircraft car25 rier battle group in the Arabian Gulf, United States 
668 

•HR 1960 EH

1 military commanders have expressed concerns about 

2 the operational constraints, the increasing uncer3 tainty among United States allies, and the 

4 emboldening of potential adversaries such as Iran; 

5 (5) regarding the ability of the United States 

6 Navy to maintain a two aircraft carrier presence in 

7 the Arabian Gulf, the Chief of Naval Operations, 

8 Admiral Jonathan Greenert, stated, ‘‘We need 11 

9 carriers to do the job. That’s been pretty clearly 

10 written, and that’s underwritten in our defense stra11 tegic guidance.’’. 

12 (6) the United States should construct and suf13 ficiently sustain a fleet of at least eleven aircraft 

14 carriers and associated battle force ships in order to 

15 meet current and future requirements and to sup16 port at least a two aircraft carrier battle group pres17 ence in the Arabian Gulf, in addition to meeting 

18 other operational requirements; and 

19 (7) the United States should finalize bilateral 

20 agreements with key Gulf Cooperation Council coun21 tries that support the Defense of the Arabian Gulf 

22 requirements, at the earliest possible date.

13 GOVERNMENT OF IRAN FOR ITS STATE-SPON14 SORED PERSECUTION OF ITS BAHA’I MINOR15 ITY. 

16 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

17 (1) In 1982, 1984, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 

18 1996, 2000, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2013, 

19 Congress declared that it deplored the religious per20 secution by the Government of Iran of the Baha’i 

21 community and would hold the Government of Iran 

22 responsible for upholding the rights of all Iranian 

23 nationals, including members of the Baha’i faith. 

24 (2) The United States Commission on Inter25 national Religious Freedom 2012 Report stated, 

26 ‘‘The Baha’i community has long been subject to 
670 

•HR 1960 EH

1 particularly severe religious freedom violations in 

2 Iran. Baha’is, who number at least 300,000, are 

3 viewed as ‘heretics’ by Iranian authorities and may 

4 face repression on the grounds of apostasy.’’. 

5 (3) The United States Commission on Inter6 national Religious Freedom 2012 Report stated, 

7 ‘‘Since 1979, Iranian government authorities have 

8 killed more than 200 Baha’i leaders in Iran and dis9 missed more than 10,000 from government and uni10 versity jobs.’’. 

11 (4) The United States Commission on Inter12 national Religious Freedom 2012 Report stated, 

13 ‘‘Baha’is may not establish places of worship, 

14 schools, or any independent religious associations in 

15 Iran.’’. 

16 (5) The United States Commission on Inter17 national Religious Freedom 2012 Report stated, 

18 ‘‘Baha’is are barred from the military and denied 

19 government jobs and pensions as well as the right to 

20 inherit property. Their marriages and divorces also 

21 are not recognized, and they have difficulty obtain22 ing death certificates. Baha’i cemeteries, holy places, 

23 and community properties are often seized or dese24 crated, and many important religious sites have been 

25 destroyed.’’. 
671 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (6) The United States Commission on Inter2 national Religious Freedom 2012 Report stated, 

3 ‘‘The Baha’i community faces severe economic pres4 sure, including denials of jobs in both the public and 

5 private sectors and of business licenses. Iranian au6 thorities often pressure employers of Baha’is to dis7 miss them from employment in the private sector.’’. 

8 (7) The Department of State 2011 Inter9 national Religious Freedom Report stated, ‘‘The 

10 government prohibits Baha’is from teaching and 

11 practicing their faith and subjects them to many 

12 forms of discrimination that followers of other reli13 gions do not face.’’. 

14 (8) The Department of State 2011 Inter15 national Religious Freedom Report stated, ‘‘Accord16 ing to law, Baha’i blood is considered ‘mobah’, 

17 meaning it can be spilled with impunity.’’. 

18 (9) The Department of State 2011 Inter19 national Religious Freedom Report stated that 

20 ‘‘members of religious minorities, with the exception 

21 of Baha’is, can serve in lower ranks of government 

22 employment’’, and ‘‘Baha’is are barred from all lead23 ership positions in the government and military’’. 

24 (10) The Department of State 2011 Inter25 national Religious Freedom Report stated, ‘‘Baha’is 
672 

•HR 1960 EH

1 suffered frequent government harassment and perse2 cution, and their property rights generally were dis3 regarded. The government raided Baha’i homes and 

4 businesses and confiscated large amounts of private 

5 and commercial property, as well as religious mate6 rials belonging to Baha’is.’’. 

7 (11) The Department of State 2011 Inter8 national Religious Freedom Report stated, ‘‘Baha’is 

9 also are required to register with the police’’. 

10 (12) The Department of State 2011 Inter11 national Religious Freedom Report stated that 

12 ‘‘[p]ublic and private universities continued to deny 

13 admittance to and expelled Baha’i students’’ and 

14 ‘‘[d]uring the year, at least 30 Baha’is were barred 

15 or expelled from universities on political or religious 

16 grounds’’. 

17 (13) The Department of State 2011 Inter18 national Religious Freedom Report stated, ‘‘Baha’is 

19 are regularly denied compensation for injury or 

20 criminal victimization.’’. 

21 (14) On March 6, 2012, the United Nations 

22 Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights 

23 in the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a report (A/ 

24 HRC/19/66), which stated that ‘‘the Special 

25 Rapporteur continues to be alarmed by communica-
673 

•HR 1960 EH

1 tions that demonstrate the systemic and systematic 

2 persecution of members of unrecognized religious 

3 communities, particularly the Baha’i community, in 

4 violation of international conventions’’ and expressed 

5 concern regarding ‘‘an intensive defamation cam6 paign meant to incite discrimination and hate 

7 against Baha’is’’. 

8 (15) On May 23, 2012, the United Nations 

9 Secretary-General issued a report, which stated that 

10 ‘‘the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or 

11 belief * * * pointed out that the Islamic Republic of 

12 Iran had a policy of systematic persecution of per13 sons belonging to the Baha’i faith, excluding them 

14 from the application of freedom of religion or belief 

15 by simply denying that their faith had the status of 

16 a religion’’. 

17 (16) On August 22, 2012, the United Nations 

18 Secretary-General issued a report, which stated, 

19 ‘‘The international community continues to express 

20 concerns about the very serious discrimination 

21 against ethnic and religious minorities in law and in 

22 practice, in particular the Baha’i community. The 

23 Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights 

24 in the Islamic Republic of Iran expressed alarm 

25 about the systemic and systematic persecution of 
674 

•HR 1960 EH

1 members of the Baha’i community, including severe 

2 socioeconomic pressure and arrests and detention. 

3 He also deplored the Government’s tolerance of an 

4 intensive defamation campaign aimed at inciting dis5 crimination and hate against Baha’is.’’. 

6 (17) On September 13, 2012, the United Na7 tions Special Rapporteur on the situation of human 

8 rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a re9 port (A/67/369), which stated, ‘‘Reports and inter10 views submitted to the Special Rapporteur also con11 tinue to portray a disturbing trend with regard to 

12 religious freedom in the country. Members of both 

13 recognized and unrecognized religions have reported 

14 various levels of intimidation, arrest, detention and 

15 interrogation that focus on their religious beliefs.’’, 

16 and stated, ‘‘At the time of drafting the report, 105 

17 members of the Baha’i community were reported to 

18 be in detention.’’. 

19 (18) On November 27, 2012, the Third Com20 mittee of the United Nations General Assembly 

21 adopted a draft resolution (A/C.3/67/L.51), which 

22 noted, ‘‘[I]ncreased persecution and human rights 

23 violations against persons belonging to unrecognized 

24 religious minorities, particularly members of the 

25 Baha’i faith and their defenders, including esca-
675 

•HR 1960 EH

1 lating attacks, an increase in the number of arrests 

2 and detentions, the restriction of access to higher 

3 education on the basis of religion, the sentencing of 

4 twelve Baha’is associated with Baha’i educational in5 stitutions to lengthy prison terms, the continued de6 nial of access to employment in the public sector, ad7 ditional restrictions on participation in the private 

8 sector, and the de facto criminalization of member9 ship in the Baha’i faith.’’. 

10 (19) On December 20, 2012, the United Na11 tions General Assembly adopted a resolution (A/ 

12 RES/67/182), which called upon the government of 

13 Iran ‘‘[t]o eliminate discrimination against, and ex14 clusion of * * * members of the Baha’i Faith, re15 garding access to higher education, and to eliminate 

16 the criminalization of efforts to provide higher edu17 cation to Baha’i youth denied access to Iranian uni18 versities,’’ and ‘‘to accord all Baha’is, including 

19 those imprisoned because of their beliefs, the due 

20 process of law and the rights that they are constitu21 tionally guaranteed’’. 

22 (20) On February 28, 2013, the United Na23 tions Special Rapporteur on the situation of human 

24 rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a re25 port (A/HRC/22/56), which stated, ‘‘110 Bahai’s are 
676 

•HR 1960 EH

1 currently detained in Iran for exercising their faith, 

2 including two women, Mrs. Zohreh Nikayin and Mrs. 

3 Taraneh Torabi, who are reportedly nursing infants 

4 in prison’’. 

5 (21) In March and May of 2008, intelligence of6 ficials of the Government of Iran in Mashhad and 

7 Tehran arrested and imprisoned Mrs. Fariba 

8 Kamalabadi, Mr. Jamaloddin Khanjani, Mr. Afif 

9 Naeimi, Mr. Saeid Rezaie, Mr. Behrouz Tavakkoli, 

10 Mrs. Mahvash Sabet, and Mr. Vahid Tizfahm, the 

11 seven members of the ad hoc leadership group for 

12 the Baha’i community in Iran. 

13 (22) In August 2010, the Revolutionary Court 

14 in Tehran sentenced the seven Baha’i leaders to 20- 

15 year prison terms on charges of ‘‘spying for Israel, 

16 insulting religious sanctities, propaganda against the 

17 regime and spreading corruption on earth’’. 

18 (23) The lawyer for these seven leaders, Mrs. 

19 Shirin Ebadi, the Nobel Laureate, was denied mean20 ingful or timely access to the prisoners and their 

21 files, and her successors as defense counsel were 

22 provided extremely limited access. 

23 (24) These seven Baha’i leaders were targeted 

24 solely on the basis of their religion. 
677 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (25) Beginning in May 2011, Government of 

2 Iran officials in four cities conducted sweeping raids 

3 on the homes of dozens of individuals associated 

4 with the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education 

5 (BIHE) and arrested and detained several educators 

6 associated with BIHE. 

7 (26) In October 2011, the Revolutionary Court 

8 in Tehran sentenced seven of these BIHE instruc9 tors and administrators, Mr. Vahid Mahmoudi, Mr. 

10 Kamran Mortezaie, Mr. Mahmoud Badavam, Ms. 

11 Nooshin Khadem, Mr. Farhad Sedghi, Mr. Riaz 

12 Sobhani, and Mr. Ramin Zibaie, to prison terms for 

13 the crime of ‘‘membership of the deviant sect of Ba14 ha’ism, with the goal of taking action against the se15 curity of the country, in order to further the aims 

16 of the deviant sect and those of organizations out17 side the country’’. 

18 (27) Six of these educators remain imprisoned, 

19 with Mr. Mortezaie serving a 5-year prison term and 

20 Mr. Badavam, Ms. Khadem, Mr. Sedghi, Mr. 

21 Sobhani, and Mr. Zibaie serving 4-year prison 

22 terms. 

23 (28) Since October 2011, four other BIHE edu24 cators, Ms. Faran Hessami, Mr. Kamran Rahimian, 

25 Mr. Kayvan Rahimian, and Mr. Shahin Negari have 
678 

•HR 1960 EH

1 been sentenced to 4-year prison terms, which they 

2 are now serving. 

3 (29) The efforts of the Government of Iran to 

4 collect information on individual Baha’is have re5 cently intensified as evidenced by a letter, dated No6 vember 5, 2011, from the Director of the Depart7 ment of Education in the county of Shahriar in the 

8 province of Tehran, instructing the directors of 

9 schools in his jurisdiction to ‘‘subtly and in a con10 fidential manner’’ collect information on Baha’i stu11 dents. 

12 (30) The Baha’i community continues to under13 go intense economic and social pressure, including 

14 an ongoing campaign in the town of Semnan, where 

15 the Government of Iran has harassed and detained 

16 Baha’is, closed 17 Baha’i owned businesses in the 

17 last three years, and imprisoned several members of 

18 the community, including three mothers along with 

19 their infants. 

20 (31) Ordinary Iranian citizens who belong to 

21 the Baha’i faith are disproportionately targeted, in22 terrogated, and detained under the pretext of na23 tional security. 
679 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (32) The Government of Iran is party to the 

2 International Covenants on Human Rights and is in 

3 violation of its obligations under the Covenants. 

4 (b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—Congress— 

5 (1) condemns the Government of Iran for its 

6 state-sponsored persecution of its Baha’i minority 

7 and its continued violation of the International Cov8 enants on Human Rights; 

9 (2) calls on the Government of Iran to imme10 diately release the seven imprisoned leaders, the ten 

11 imprisoned educators, and all other prisoners held 

12 solely on account of their religion; and 

13 (3) calls on the President and Secretary of 

14 State, in cooperation with responsible nations, to im15 mediately condemn the Government of Iran’s contin16 ued violation of human rights and demand the im17 mediate release of prisoners held solely on account 

18 of their religion.

2 Matters 

3 SEC. 1241. REPORT ON POSTURE AND READINESS OF 

4 UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES TO RE5 SPOND TO FUTURE TERRORIST ATTACKS IN 

6 AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST. 

7 (a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con8 gress that— 

9 (1) the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on 

10 September 11, 2012, may have never occurred or 

11 could have been prevented had there been an inter12 national stabilizing force following NATO-led oper13 ations in order to help stabilize the country, build 

14 capacity within the security forces, and pursue ter15 rorist groups that threaten the local government as 

16 well as United States interests; 

17 (2) the attack also highlighted the limitations of 

18 the United States military to alert, deploy, and deci19 sively counter a no-notice terrorist attack such as 

20 the one in Benghazi, or another security contin21 gency, due to the limitations stemming from United 

22 States military posture in Africa and the Middle 

23 East and when there is a lack of a layered defense 

24 at United States diplomatic facilities; 
681 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (3) the United States military is more effec2 tively able to respond to terrorist attacks on United 

3 States facilities outside of the United States if the 

4 responding United States military assets are forward 

5 deployed; 

6 (4) when an intelligence threat assessment de7 termines that a United States facility overseas is 

8 vulnerable to attack, such facility should have robust 

9 force protection measures sufficient to safeguard 

10 personnel and assets until a United States military 

11 response can arrive; 

12 (5) the continually evolving terrorist threat to 

13 United States interests on the Continent of Africa 

14 and the Middle East necessitates that the United 

15 States military maintains a forward deployed pos16 ture in Europe, Middle East, and Africa in order to 

17 be able to respond to terrorist events, or other secu18 rity contingencies, and to effectively evacuate and 

19 recover United States personnel; 

20 (6) the United States military, in conjunction 

21 with the Department of State and the intelligence 

22 community, should continue to evaluate the assump23 tions underpinning the terrorist threat in order to 

24 ensure that it is effectively able to respond globally 

25 to future terrorist attacks; 
682 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (7) the United States military should regularly 

2 re-evaluate the posture and alert status require3 ments of its crisis response elements in order to be 

4 more responsive to the evolving and global nature of 

5 the terrorist threat, and all United States military 

6 crisis response elements should be fully equipped 

7 with the required supporting capabilities to conduct 

8 their missions; 

9 (8) on April 16, 2013, Chairman of the Joint 

10 Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, testified 

11 before the House Appropriations Committee that the 

12 military is, ‘‘* * * adapting our force posture to a 

13 new normal of combustible violence in North Africa 

14 and in the Middle East’’; 

15 (9) The President stated in a press conference 

16 on May 16, 2013, ‘‘I have directed the Defense De17 partment to ensure that our military can respond 

18 lightening quick in times of crisis.’’; 

19 (10) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs should 

20 continue to evaluate the posture of United States 

21 forces to respond to the global terrorist threat, in22 cluding an evaluation of whether United States Afri23 ca Command should have forces and necessary 

24 equipment permanently assigned to the command to 

25 respond more promptly to this ‘‘new normal’’; and 
683 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (11) although the Department of State-initiated 

2 Accountability Review Board found that the Marine 

3 Security Guard program should be expanded and 

4 that there should be greater coordination between 

5 the Department of Defense and the Department of 

6 State to identify additional resources for security at 

7 high risk posts, the United States military may be 

8 challenged to provide additional security to Depart9 ment of State facilities due to budget shortfalls, on10 going force structure constraints, and increasing 

11 operational requirements for the Department of De12 fense. 

13 (b) REPORT REQUIRED.— 

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

15 after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Sec16 retary of Defense, in consultation with the Chairman 

17 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall submit to the ap18 propriate congressional committees a report on the

7 and alert status of relevant United States 

8 Armed Forces in Europe, the Middle East, Af9 rica, and the United States and any changes 

10 implemented or planned to be implemented 

11 since the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on 

12 September 11, 2012, to respond to the ‘‘new 

13 normal’’ and President Obama’s directive for 

14 the military to respond ‘‘lightening quick’’ in 

15 times of crisis. 

16 (C) In consultation with the Secretary of 

17 State, a description of new or modified require18 ments of the Department of State, if any, for— 

19 (i) United States Marine Security 

20 Guard Detachments; 

21 (ii) any other Department of Defense 

22 assets to provide enhanced security at De23 partment of State facilities; 

24 (iii) an explanation of how any new 

25 requirements for Marine Security Detach-
685 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ments or other Department of Defense as2 sets affect the capacity of the Armed 

3 Forces, including specifically the capacity 

4 of the Marine Corps, to fulfill Department 

5 of Defense operational requirements; and 

6 (iv) an explanation of how any

10 (3) DEFINITION.—In this subsection, the term 

11 ‘‘appropriate congressional committees’’ means— 

12 (A) the Committee on Armed Services and

18 SEC. 1242. ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT TO 

19 UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY. 

20 (a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con21 gress that— 

22 (1) Egypt is undergoing a significant political 

23 transition and the ultimate outcome of this political 

24 process and its implications for United States na25 tional security interests remain uncertain; 
686 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) the United States continues to have consid2 erable concerns about the intentions and actions of 

3 the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and whether the 

4 government of President Morsi is committed to a 

5 pluralistic, democratic Egypt; 

6 (3) the United States has a stake in Egypt be7 coming a mature, pluralistic democracy in which the 

8 rights of Egyptian citizens, including women and mi9 norities, are protected; 

10 (4) the United States should continue to closely 

11 monitor President Morsi’s support for the peace 

12 treaty with the Government of Israel, which has 

13 been a stabilizing force in the region for over 30 

14 years; 

15 (5) the United States military relationship with 

16 the Egyptian military is long-standing and should 

17 remain a key pillar to, and component of, United 

18 States engagement with Egypt; 

19 (6) the close military-to-military relationship 

20 between the United States and Egypt has been a 

21 critical component in enabling counterterrorism co22 operation between the two governments to ensure 

23 the United States military has freedom of movement 

24 throughout the region in order to deter aggression 

25 and respond to threats to United States national se-
687 

•HR 1960 EH

1 curity interests, particularly in light of the security 

2 situation in Libya and the Sinai; 

3 (7) the Egyptian military has exercised re4 straint and professionalism during the unrest in 

5 Egypt over the last two years and hopefully will re6 main a key mechanism through which the United 

7 States can support the people of Egypt in achieving 

8 their goals for a representative and democratic polit9 ical system, while promoting peace and security in 

10 the region; and 

11 (8) therefore, with appropriate vetting, United 

12 States military assistance and support to the Egyp13 tian military should continue, even as civilian aid to 

14 Egypt receives greater scrutiny as a result of the un15 certainty associated with Egypt’s current political 

16 leadership and economic policies. 

17 (b) PLAN REQUIRED.— 

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

19 after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Sec20 retary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary

13 from Egyptian territory or the region. 

14 (B) The capacity of the Government of 

15 Egypt to prevent the illicit movement of terror16 ists, criminals, weapons, and other dangerous 

17 material across Egypt’s borders or administra18 tive boundaries, including through tunnels and 

19 other illicit points of entry into Gaza. 

20 (C) The extent to which the Egyptian mili21 tary is— 

22 (i) supporting the protection of the

14 SEC. 1243. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE MILITARY DEVEL15 OPMENTS ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA. 

16 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

17 (1) The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 

18 (‘‘North Korea’’) has escalated regional tensions 

19 with hostile rhetoric and provocative actions. 

20 (2) North Korea threatened a nuclear attack on 

21 the United States and a resumption of open war 

22 against the Republic of Korea (‘‘South Korea’’). 

23 (3) North Korea’s nuclear weapons and ballistic 

24 missile programs constitute a threat to the national 
692 

•HR 1960 EH

1 security of the United States and to regional sta2 bility. 

3 (4) On April 14, 2009, North Korea halted ne4 gotiations regarding its nuclear weapons program 

5 when it abandoned the Six-Party Talks with the 

6 People’s Republic of China (‘‘China’’), Japan, the 

7 Russian Federation (‘‘Russia’’), South Korea, and 

8 the United States. 

9 (5) On May 25, 2009, North Korea detonated 

10 a nuclear device in an underground explosive test. 

11 (6) On March 26, 2010, North Korea sank a 

12 South Korean naval vessel, the Cheonan, killing 46 

13 South Korean sailors. 

14 (7) On November 23, 2010, North Korea 

15 shelled the border island of Yeonpyeong-do, killing 

16 four people. This was the first direct artillery attack 

17 on South Korean territory since the signing of the 

18 1953 armistice. 

19 (8) On April 13, 2012, North Korea conducted 

20 a rocket launch that failed to send a satellite into 

21 orbit. This launch violated United Nations Security 

22 Council (UNSC) Resolutions 1718 and 1874. 

23 (9) On December 12, 2012, North Korea used 

24 banned long-range missile technology to launch an 

25 earth observation satellite into orbit. In response, 
693 

•HR 1960 EH

1 the UNSC unanimously adopted Resolution 2087, 

2 condemning the launch. 

3 (10) On February 12, 2013, North Korea con4 ducted a third underground nuclear test in violation 

5 of UNSC Resolution 1718, 1874, and 2087. The 

6 test also contravened North Korea’s commitments 

7 under the September 2005 Joint Statement of the 

8 Six-Party Talks. 

9 (11) On March 7, 2013, the UNSC unani10 mously adopted Resolution 2094, condemning North 

11 Korea’s third nuclear test and imposed additional 

12 sanctions against the regime. 

13 (12) On March 28, 2013, North Korea unilater14 ally nullified the armistice agreement with the 

15 United States that suspended military conflict on 

16 the Korean peninsula. 

17 (13) On March 30, 2013, North Korea declared 

18 a state of war with South Korea. 

19 (14) On April 4, 2013, North Korea placed two 

20 intermediate-range Musudan missiles on mobile 

21 launchers and temporarily relocated them to the 

22 eastern coast of the Korean peninsula before remov23 ing them a month later from the launch sites. 

24 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con25 gress that— 
694 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (1) the United States and its allies, South 

2 Korea and Japan, share the goal of a stable and 

3 peaceful Korean Peninsula, free of nuclear weapons; 

4 (2) the United States remains committed to de5 fending its allies in the Asia-Pacific region and sta6 bility in Northeast Asia requires restraint by all par7 ties from activities that would complicate inter8 national relations or escalate international tensions, 

9 and international disputes should be mitigated in a 

10 constructive manner consistent with established 

11 principles of international law; 

12 (3) Congress supports— 

13 (A) the verifiable denuclearization of the 

14 Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner, 

15 (B) North Korea’s abandonment of its nu16 clear programs and return to the Treaty on the 

17 Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to 

18 International Atomic Energy Agency safe19 guards; and 

20 (C) North Korea’s full acceptance of and 

21 compliance with the terms of the 1953 Armi22 stice Agreement; 

23 (4) the United States has national interests in 

24 security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, the 

25 implementation of the United States-Korea Free 
695 

•HR 1960 EH

1 Trade Agreement, nuclear non-proliferation efforts, 

2 the promotion of respect for the fundamental human 

3 rights of the North Korean people, international 

4 cyber-security cooperation, and full implementation 

5 of United States and multilateral sanctions against 

6 illicit activities; 

7 (5) the United States encourages China and 

8 Russia to fully implement and enforce United States 

9 and United Nations Security Council sanctions 

10 against North Korea; and 

11 (6) the President, the Secretary of State, and 

12 the Secretary of Defense should keep Congress fully 

13 informed on security developments on the Korean 

14 Peninsula. 

15 SEC. 1244. STATEMENT OF CONGRESS ON DEFENSE CO16 OPERATION WITH GEORGIA. 

17 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

18 (1) The Republic of Georgia is a highly valued 

19 ally of the United States and has repeatedly dem20 onstrated its commitment to advancing the mutual 

21 interests of both countries, including the deployment 

22 of Georgian forces as part of the NATO-led Inter23 national Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan 

24 and the Multi-National Force in Iraq. 
696 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) The peaceful transfer of power as the result 

2 of the free and fair parliamentary elections in Geor3 gia in October 2012 represents a major accomplish4 ment toward the Georgian people’s creation of a free 

5 society and full democracy. 

6 (3) However, since the October 2012 par7 liamentary elections the new Georgian Government 

8 has taken a series of measures against former offi9 cials and members of the current political opposition 

10 that appear to be motivated by political consider11 ations. 

12 (4) Over 100 former Georgian Government offi13 cials have been charged with criminal violations 

14 since the October 2012 parliamentary elections. 

15 (5) Similar charges have been filed against 

16 members of the political opposition, including Vano 

17 Merabishvili, the Secretary General of the United 

18 National Movement. 

19 (6) The arrest of the leader of an opposition 

20 party is especially troubling, particularly its chilling 

21 effect on political freedom prior to the presidential 

22 election scheduled for October 2013. 

23 (7) The Georgian Government has taken insuf24 ficient action to prevent further violence against 
697 

•HR 1960 EH

1 members of the United National Movement and to 

2 punish offenders. 

3 (8) These actions call into question the Geor4 gian Government’s continued progress toward the 

5 creation of a free and democratic society in which 

6 basic freedoms, including freedom for political oppo7 sition, are guaranteed. 

8 (b) STATEMENT OF CONGRESS.—Congress declares 

9 that— 

10 (1) the United States remains committed to as11 sisting the people of Georgia in establishing a free 

12 and democratic society in their country; 

13 (2) the measures taken by the Georgian Gov14 ernment against former officials and political oppo15 nents, apparently in part motivated by political con16 siderations, may have a significant negative impact 

17 on cooperation between the United States and Geor18 gia, including efforts to build a stronger relationship 

19 in political, economic, and security matters, as well 

20 as progress on integrating Georgia into international 

21 organizations; 

22 (3) the United States must be unambiguous 

23 when democratic backsliding occurs in a key ally 

24 after a peaceful and democratic transfer of power 

25 between political parties; and 
698 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (4) the people of the United States and the 

2 Members of Congress express their deepest condo3 lences to the Georgian people on the tragic loss of 

4 seven soldiers of Georgia in a suicide bombing on 

5 June 6, 2013, and the deaths of three soldiers killed 

6 in another suicide bombing on May 13, 2013, while 

7 they were supporting United States and NATO 

8 forces in Afghanistan. 

9 SEC. 1245. LIMITATION ON ESTABLISHMENT OF REGIONAL 

10 SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES COORDINA11 TION CENTERS. 

12 (a) LIMITATION.—None of the funds authorized to 

13 be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available

1 SEC. 1251. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE CONFLICT IN 

2 SYRIA. 

3 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

4 (1) The conflict in Syria began in March 2011. 

5 (2) As of February 2013, the United Nations 

6 High Commissioner for Human Rights estimated 

7 that approximately 70,000 Syrians have been killed 

8 during the conflict. 

9 (3) According to the United Nations High Com10 missioner for Refugees, over 1,200,000 Syrians are 

11 registered refugees or persons of concern including, 

12 over 66,000 in Egypt, over 145,000 in Iraq, over 

13 461,000 in Jordan, over 462,000 in Lebanon, and 

14 over 329,000 in Turkey. 

15 (4) Jabhat al-Nusra, a group located in Syria 

16 and categorized as an affiliate of al-Qaeda by the in17 telligence community, presents a direct threat to the 

18 interests of the United States and could present a 

19 direct threat to the United States. 

20 (5) On August 19, 2011, President Obama 

21 stated: ‘‘The future of Syria must be determined by 

22 its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is stand23 ing in their way. We have consistently said that 

24 President Assad must lead a democratic transition 

25 or get out of the way. He has not led. For the sake 
708 

•HR 1960 EH

1 of the Syrian people, the time has come for Presi2 dent Assad to step aside.’’. 

3 (6) The United States is deploying 200 military 

4 personnel from the headquarters of the 1st Armored 

5 Division to Jordan in order to ‘‘improve readiness 

6 and prepare for a number of scenarios’’. 

7 (7) In a letter from Miguel Rodriguez, the As8 sistant to the President for Legislative Affairs, to 

9 Senators McCain and Levin, dated April 25, 2013, 

10 it stated that ‘‘our intelligence community does as11 sess with varying degrees of confidence that the Syr12 ian regime has used chemical weapons on a small 

13 scale in Syria, specifically, the chemical agent sarin 

14 * * * We do believe that any use of chemical weap15 ons in Syria would very likely have originated with 

16 the Assad regime * * * the President has made it 

17 clear that the use of chemical weapons—or the 

18 transfer of chemical weapons to terrorist groups—is 

19 a red line for the United States of America’’. 

20 (8) In a press conference with Israel Prime 

21 Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, President Obama 

22 stated: ‘‘I have made clear that the use of chemical 

23 weapons is a game-changer’’. 

24 (9) In August 2012, during a White House 

25 press conference, President Obama stated: ‘‘We have 
709 

•HR 1960 EH

1 been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to 

2 other players on the ground, that a redline for us is 

3 we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons 

4 moving around or being utilized.’’. 

5 (10) It is a threat to the vital national security 

6 interest of the United States if terrorist groups, 

7 such as al-Qaeda, obtain chemical or biological mate8 rial or weapons in Syria. 

9 (11) At a Pentagon press conference on May 2, 

10 2013, Secretary Hagel confirmed that the Obama 

11 Administration is re-thinking its opposition to arm12 ing the rebels. 

13 (12) On April 11, 2013, responding to a ques14 tion about the need for a supplemental funding re15 quest for any potential United States military effort 

16 in Syria, Secretary Hagel stated: ‘‘Yes, I think it is 

17 pretty clear that a supplemental would be re18 quired.’’. 

19 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con20 gress that— 

21 (1) President Obama should have a comprehen22 sive policy and should ensure robust contingency 

23 planning to secure United States’ interests in Syria; 
710 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) President Obama should fully consider all 

2 courses of action to remove President Bashar al3 Assad from power; 

4 (3) the conflict in Syria threatens the vital na5 tional security interests of Israel and the stability of 

6 Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, the implications of 

7 which should be sufficiently weighed by the Presi8 dent when considering policy approaches towards the 

9 conflict in Syria; 

10 (4) the sale or transfer of advanced anti-air11 craft weapons systems to Syria poses a grave risk to 

12 Israel and the United States supports Israel’s right 

13 to respond to this grave threat as needed; 

14 (5) the President should fully consider all 

15 courses of action to reinforce his stated ‘‘redline’’ re16 garding the use of weapons of mass destruction by 

17 the Assad regime in Syria, which could threaten the 

18 credibility of the United States with its allies in the 

19 region and embolden the Assad regime; 

20 (6) the United States should continue to con21 duct rigorous planning and operational preparation 

22 to support any efforts to secure the chemical and bi23 ological stockpiles and associated weapons; 

24 (7) the United States should have a policy that 

25 supports the stability of countries on Syria’s border, 
711 

•HR 1960 EH

1 including Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and 

2 Israel; 

3 (8) the United States should continue to sup4 port Syrian opposition forces with non-lethal aid; 

5 (9) the President, the Department of Defense, 

6 the Department of State, and the intelligence com7 munity, in cooperation with European and regional 

8 allies, should ensure that the risks of all courses of 

9 action or inaction regarding Syria are fully explored 

10 and understood and that Congress is kept fully in11 formed of such risks; 

12 (10) the President should fully consider, and 

13 the Department of Defense should conduct prudent 

14 planning for, the provision of lethal aid and relevant 

15 operational training to vetted Syrian opposition 

16 forces, including an analysis of the risks of the pro17 vision of such aid and training; 

18 (11) should the President decide to employ any 

19 military assets in Syria, the President should pro20 vide a supplemental budget request to Congress; and 

21 (12) the President should use all diplomatic 

22 means to disrupt the flow of arms into Syria, includ23 ing efforts to dissuade Russia from further arms 

24 sales with Syria, the influx of weapons and fighters 
712 

•HR 1960 EH

18 respect to such missile defense capabilities, that section 

19 303(b) of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22

21 be taken pursuant to this or any other Act that would 

22 obligate the United States to reduce or limit the Armed 

23 Forces or armaments of the United States in a militarily 

24 significant manner, except pursuant to the treaty-making

4 (b) LIMITATION ON FUNDS.—None of the funds au5 thorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available

10 COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED 

11 STATES AND BURMA. 

12 It is the sense of the Congress that— 

13 (1) as the United States policy rebalances to14 wards Asia, it is critical that the United States mili15 tary comprehensively evaluate its engagement with 

16 Burma; 

17 (2) the future of the military-to-military rela18 tionship between the United States and Burma 

19 should take into account the current ethnic conflict 

20 in Burma and persecution of ethnic and religious 

21 minorities; 

22 (3) while the United States has national secu23 rity interests in Burma’s peace and stability, the 

24 peaceful settlement of armed conflicts with the eth25 nic minority groups requires the Burmese military to 
717 

•HR 1960 EH

1 respect ceasefire agreements, laws of war, and 

2 human rights provisions; and 

3 (4) the Department of Defense should fully con4 sider and assess the Burmese military’s efforts to 

5 implement reforms, end impunity for human rights 

6 abuses, and increase transparency and accountability 

7 before expanding military-to-military cooperation be8 yond initial dialogue and isolated engagements. 

9 SEC. 1256. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE STATIONING OF 

10 UNITED STATES FORCES IN EUROPE. 

11 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

12 (1) During the past several years, over 700 ki13 netic terror incidents have occurred in the U.S. Eu14 ropean Command (EUCOM) area of operations. Ris15 ing tensions in the region due to unemployment, fis16 cal insolvency, ethnic strife, hegemonic desires, and 

17 terrorism, pose risks to the security and stability of 

18 Europe. 

19 (2) Arab Spring uprisings in Middle Eastern 

20 and North African countries, including the Republic 

21 of Mali, the Arab Republic of Egypt, Libya, and the 

22 Syrian Arab Republic (Syria), have presented emerg23 ing strategic challenges that present significant im24 plications for regional stability, the security of the 

25 State of Israel (Israel), and the national security in-
718 

•HR 1960 EH

1 terests of the United States and many European al2 lies. 

3 (3) U.S. Africa Command does not have for4 mally assigned Army or Marine Corps units assigned 

5 to it and it continues to share Air Force and Navy 

6 component commands with EUCOM. Consequently, 

7 United States forces stationed in Europe have been 

8 deployed to support contingencies associated with 

9 the Arab Spring in North Africa. 

10 (4) The Commander of U.S. European Com11 mand is responsible for developing operational plans 

12 for the defense of Israel. Moreover, forces stationed 

13 in Europe would be deployed to defend Israel in the 

14 event of such a contingency. 

15 (5) Regimes, including the Islamic Republic of 

16 Iran and Syria, continue efforts to procure, develop, 

17 and proliferate advanced ballistic missile tech18 nologies that pose a serious threat to United States 

19 forces and installations in the theater, as well as to 

20 the territory, populations, and forces of Israel and 

21 European allies. United States missile defense capa22 bilities in Europe seek to mitigate these threats. 

23 (6) Violent extremist organizations, including 

24 Kongra-Gel, al Qaida, Lebanese Hizballah, and Ira25 nian Qods Force, may utilize Europe as an impor-
719 

•HR 1960 EH

1 tant venue for recruitment, logistical support, fi2 nancing, and the targeting of the United States and 

3 Western interests. 

4 (7) Congress has lacked sufficient data to com5 pare the strategic benefits and the costs associated 

6 with permanently stationing forces in Europe. The 

7 Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found 

8 that the combatant commands do not completely and 

9 consistently report cost data in their theater posture 

10 plans. In particular, GAO reported in February 

11 2011 that EUCOM lacks comprehensive cost data in 

12 its theater posture plans and therefore decision mak13 ers lack critical information that could be used to 

14 make fully informed posture decisions. Additionally, 

15 in June 2012, GAO found that the Department of 

16 Defense has taken steps to align posture initiatives 

17 with strategy and cost, but continues to lack com18 prehensive and consistent cost estimates of initia19 tives. 

20 (8) The Department of Defense has reported 

21 that the cost of permanently stationing forces in the 

22 United States rather than overseas is often offset by 

23 such factors as increased rotational costs. 

24 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con25 gress that— 
720 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (1) an enduring United States presence and en2 gagement across Europe and Eurasia provides the 

3 critical access and infrastructure necessary to ac4 complish United States strategic priorities, expand 

5 United States global reach to Europe, Eurasia, the 

6 Middle East, Africa, as well as the Mediterranean 

7 and Atlantic Oceans, and facilitates a rapid United 

8 States response for complex contingencies; 

9 (2) the United States continues to have an in10 terest in supporting the stability and security of Eu11 rope, especially in a dynamic and challenging global

14 SEC. 1257. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MILITARY CAPABILI15 TIES OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. 

16 Congress— 

17 (1) notes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) 

18 continues to rapidly modernize and expand its mili19 tary capabilities across the land, sea, air, space, and 

20 cyberspace domains; 

21 (2) is concerned by the rate and scope of PRC 

22 military developments, including its military-focused 

23 cyber espionage, which indicate a desire to constrain 

24 or prevent the peaceful activities of the United 

25 States and its allies in the Western Pacific; 
722 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (3) concurs with Admiral Samuel Locklear, 

2 commander of U.S. Pacific Command, that ‘‘China’s 

3 rapid development of advanced military capabilities, 

4 combined with its unclear intentions, certainly raises 

5 strategic and security concerns for the U.S. and the 

6 region’’; 

7 (4) notes the United States remains committed 

8 to a robust forward military-presence in the Asia9 Pacific and will continue to vigorously support mu10 tual defense arrangements with treaty allies while 

11 also building deeper relationships with other stra12 tegic partners in the region; and 

13 (5) urges the Government of the PRC to work 

14 peacefully to resolve existing territorial disputes and 

15 to adopt a maritime code of conduct with relevant 

16 parties to guide all forms of maritime interaction 

17 and communications in the Asia-Pacific. 

18 SEC. 1258. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION. 

19 Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing 

20 the use of force against Syria or Iran. 

21 SEC. 1259. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING RELATIONS 

22 WITH TAIWAN. 

23 It is the sense of Congress that the United States 

24 should— 
723 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (1) allow all high-level officials of Taiwan to 

2 enter into the United States or its embassies and 

3 consulates under conditions which demonstrate ap4 propriate respect for the dignity of such leaders; 

5 (2) allow meetings between all high-level Tai6 wan and United States officials in United States ex7 ecutive departments; 

8 (3) allow the Taipei Economic and Cultural 

9 Representative Office and all other instrumentalities 

10 established in the United States by Taiwan to con11 duct business activities, including activities which in12 volve participation by Members of Congress and 

13 other representatives of Federal, State, and local 

14 governments, and all high-level Taiwan officials, 

15 without obstruction from the United States Govern16 ment or any foreign power; and 

17 (4) adopt a policy of allowing high-ranking Tai18 wan leaders to make official visits with high-ranking 

19 officials of the United States, including official visits 

20 by Taiwan’s democratically elected president, and al21 lowing for visits between these officials in Wash22 ington, D.C. 

23 SEC. 1260. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE THREAT POSED BY 

24 HEZBOLLAH. 

25 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
724 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (1) Hezbollah has been designated a foreign 

2 terrorist organization by the Department of State 

3 since October 8, 1997. 

4 (2) Hezbollah has been responsible for numer5 ous terrorist attacks and attempted terrorist attacks 

6 around the world, including attacks against United 

7 States citizens. 

8 (3) Hezbollah is active in Europe and has been 

9 linked to a July 18, 2012, suicide bombing in Bul10 garia which killed five people. 

11 (4) Hezbollah operatives have been captured 

12 around the world attacking or attempting to attack 

13 Western and Israeli targets. 

14 (5) The United States is working with its Euro15 pean allies to combat terrorism through a variety of 

16 means, including through NATO’s Partnership Ac17 tion Plan against Terrorism and the Defence 

18 Against Terrorism Programme of Work. 

19 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con20 gress that— 

21 (1) the United States should continue to use all 

22 necessary means to fight against terrorism, includ23 ing Hezbollah; 
725 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) President Obama should strongly encourage 

2 his European counterparts to publicly condemn 

3 Hezbollah; 

4 (3) European allies should seek to officially rec5 ognize Hezbollah as a terrorist organization; 

6 (4) any attempt to distinguish between military 

7 and civilian wings in Hezbollah is meaningless; and 

8 (5) all countries should work together to fight 

9 radical terrorist organizations like Hezbollah.

1 SEC. 1262. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS TO IM2 PLEMENT THE ARMS TRADE TREATY. 

3 None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 

4 this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014 

5 or any fiscal year thereafter for the Department of De6 fense may be obligated or expended to implement the 

7 Arms Trade Treaty, or to make any change to existing 

8 programs, projects, or activities as approved by Congress 

9 in furtherance of, pursuant to, or otherwise to implement 

10 the Arms Trade Treaty, unless the Arms Trade Treaty 

11 has been signed by the President, received the advice and 

12 consent of the Senate, and has been the subject of imple13 menting legislation by the Congress. 

14 SEC. 1263. WAR POWERS OF CONGRESS. 

15 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

16 (1) In 1793, George Washington said, ‘‘The 

17 constitution vests the power of declaring war in Con18 gress; therefore no offensive expedition of impor19 tance can be undertaken until after they shall have 

20 deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a 

21 measure.’’. 

22 (2) In a letter to Thomas Jefferson in 1798, 

23 James Madison wrote: ‘‘The constitution supposes, 

24 what the History of all Governments demonstrates, 

25 that the Executive is the branch of power most in26 terested in war, and most prone to it. It has accord-
727 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ingly with studied care vested the question of war to 

2 the Legislature.’’ 

3 (3) In 1973, Congress passed the War Powers 

4 Resolution which states in section 2: ‘‘The constitu5 tional powers of the President as Commander-in6 Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into 

7 hostilities, or into situations where imminent involve8 ment in hostilities is clearly indicated by the cir9 cumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a 

10 declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authoriza11 tion, or (3) national emergency created by attack 

12 upon the United States, its territories or posses13 sions, or its armed forces.’’. 

14 (4) In its April 1, 2011, Memorandum to Presi15 dent Obama, the Office of Legal Counsel concluded: 

16 ‘‘President Obama could rely on his constitutional 

17 power to safeguard the national interest by directing 

18 the anticipated military operations in Libya—which 

19 were limited in their nature, scope, and duration— 

20 without prior congressional authorization.’’. 

21 (5) On June 15, 2011, in a letter to the Speak22 er of the House of Representatives from the Depart23 ment of Defense and Department of State, the De24 partments informed Congress that ‘‘The President is 

25 of the view that the current U.S. military operations 
728 

•HR 1960 EH

1 in Libya are consistent with the War Powers Resolu2 tion and do not under that law require further con3 gressional authorization, because U.S. military oper4 ations are distinct from the kind of ‘hostilities con5 templated by the Resolution’s 60 day termination 

6 provision’.’’. 

7 (6) The precedence set by the Executive Branch 

8 in its assertion that Congress plays no role in mili9 tary actions like those taken in Libya is contrary to 

10 the intent of the Framers and of the Constitution 

11 which vests sole authority to declare war in the Leg12 islative Branch. 

13 (b) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this Act 

14 shall be construed to authorize any use of military force. 

15 SEC. 1264. PROHIBITION ON USE OF DRONES TO KILL 

16 UNITED STATES CITIZENS. 

17 (a) PROHIBITION.—The Department of Defense may 

18 not use a drone to kill a citizen of the United States. 

19 (b) EXCEPTION.—The prohibition under subsection 

20 (a) shall not apply to an individual who is actively engaged 

21 in combat against the United States. 

22 (c) DEFINITION.—In this section, the term ‘‘drone’’ 

23 means an unmanned aircraft (as defined in section 331 

24 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (49 

25 U.S.C. 40101 note)).

4 SEC. 1266. STATEMENT OF POLICY AND REPORT ON THE IN5 HERENT RIGHT OF ISRAEL TO SELF-DE6 FENSE. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find8 ings: 

9 (1) The United States-Israel Enhanced Security 

10 Cooperation Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 8601 et seq.) 

11 established the policy of the United States to sup12 port the inherent right of Israel to self-defense. 

13 (2) The United States-Israel Enhanced Security 

14 Cooperation Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 8601 et seq.) 

15 expressed the sense of Congress that the Govern16 ment of the United States should transfer to the 

17 Government of Israel defense articles and defense 

18 services such as air refueling tankers, missile de19 fense capabilities, and specialized munitions. 

20 (3) The inherent right of Israel to self-defense 

21 necessarily includes the possession and maintenance 

22 by Israel of an independent capability to remove ex23 istential threats to its security and defend its vital 

24 national interests. 

25 (b) POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.—It is the pol26 icy of the United States to take all necessary steps to en-
730 

•HR 1960 EH

1 sure that Israel possesses and maintains an independent 

2 capability to remove existential threats to its security and 

3 defend its vital national interests. 

4 (c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con5 gress that air refueling tankers and advanced bunker6 buster munitions should immediately be transferred to 

7 Israel to ensure our democratic ally has an independent 

8 capability to remove any existential threat posed by the 

9 Iranian nuclear program and defend its vital national in10 terests. 

11 (d) REPORT.—Not later than 90 days after the date 

12 of the enactment of this Act, and every 90 days thereafter, 

13 the President shall submit to the House and Senate 

14 Armed Services committees, the House Foreign Affairs 

15 Committee, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and 

16 the House and Senate Appropriations committees a report 

17 that— 

18 (1) identifies all aerial refueling platforms, 

19 bunker-buster munitions, and other capabilities and 

20 platforms that would contribute significantly to the 

21 maintenance by Israel of a robust independent capa22 bility to remove existential security threats, includ23 ing nuclear and ballistic missile facilities in Iran, 

24 and defend its vital national interests; 
731 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (2) assesses the availability for sale or transfer 

2 of items necessary to acquire the capabilities and 

3 platforms described in paragraph (1) as well as the 

4 legal authorities available for making such transfers; 

5 and 

6 (3) describes the steps the President is taking 

7 to immediately transfer the items described in para8 graph (1) pursuant to the policy described in sub9 section (b). 

10 SEC. 1267. REPORT ON COLLECTIVE AND NATIONAL SECU11 RITY IMPLICATIONS OF CENTRAL ASIAN AND 

12 SOUTH CAUCASUS ENERGY DEVELOPMENT. 

13 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

14 (1) Assured access to stable energy supplies is 

15 an enduring concern of both the United States and 

16 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). 

17 (2) Adopted in Lisbon in November 2010, the 

18 new NATO Strategic Concept declares that ‘‘[s]ome 

19 NATO countries will become more dependent on for20 eign energy suppliers and in some cases, on foreign 

21 energy supply and distribution networks for their en22 ergy needs’’. 

23 (3) The report required by section 1233 of the 

24 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 

25 2012 (Public Law 112–81) reaffirmed the Strategic 
732 

•HR 1960 EH

1 Concept’s assessment of growing energy dependence 

2 of some members of the NATO alliance and also 

3 noted there is value in the assured access, protec4 tion, and delivery of energy. 

5 (4) Development of energy resources and tran6 sit routes in the areas surrounding the Caspian Sea 

7 can diversify sources of supply for members of the 

8 NATO alliance, particularly those in Eastern Eu9 rope. 

10 (b) REPORT.— 

11 (1) REPORT.—Not later than 270 days after

10 submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a

14 THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED 

15 STATES AND INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS ON 

16 IRAN AND URGING THE PRESIDENT TO CON17 TINUE TO STRENGTHEN ENFORCEMENT OF 

18 SANCTIONS LEGISLATION. 

19 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

20 (1) On May 14, 1948, the people of Israel pro21 claimed the establishment of the sovereign and inde22 pendent State of Israel. 

23 (2) On March 28, 1949, the United States Gov24 ernment recognized the establishment of the new 

25 State of Israel and established full diplomatic rela26 tions. 
740 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (3) Since its establishment nearly 65 years ago, 

2 the modern State of Israel has rebuilt a nation, 

3 forged a new and dynamic democratic society, and 

4 created a thriving economic, political, cultural, and 

5 intellectual life despite the heavy costs of war, ter6 rorism, and unjustified diplomatic and economic boy7 cotts against the people of Israel. 

8 (4) The people of Israel have established a vi9 brant, pluralistic, democratic political system, includ10 ing freedom of speech, association, and religion; a 

11 vigorously free press; free, fair, and open elections; 

12 the rule of law; a fully independent judiciary; and 

13 other democratic principles and practices. 

14 (5) Since the 1979 revolution in Iran, the lead15 ers of the Islamic Republic of Iran have repeatedly 

16 made threats against the existence of the State of 

17 Israel and sponsored acts of terrorism and violence 

18 against its citizens. 

19 (6) On October 27, 2005, President of Iran 

20 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for a world without 

21 America and Zionism. 

22 (7) In February 2012, Supreme Leader of Iran 

23 Ali Khamenei said of Israel, ‘‘The Zionist regime is 

24 a true cancer tumor on this region that should be 

25 cut off. And it definitely will be cut off.’’. 
741 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (8) In August 2012, Supreme Leader 

2 Khamenei said of Israel, ‘‘This bogus and fake Zion3 ist outgrowth will disappear off the landscape of ge4 ography.’’. 

5 (9) In August 2012, President Ahmadinejad 

6 said that ‘‘in the new Middle East * * * there will 

7 be no trace of the American presence and the Zion8 ists’’; 

9 (10) The Department of State has designated 

10 the Islamic Republic of Iran as a state sponsor of 

11 terrorism since 1984 and has characterized the Is12 lamic Republic of Iran as the ‘‘most active state 

13 sponsor of terrorism’’ in the world. 

14 (11) The Government of the Islamic Republic of 

15 Iran has provided weapons, training, funding, and 

16 direction to terrorist groups, including Hamas, 

17 Hizballah, and Shiite militias in Iraq that are re18 sponsible for the murder of hundreds of United 

19 States service members and innocent civilians. 

20 (12) The Government of the Islamic Republic of 

21 Iran has provided weapons, training, and funding to 

22 the regime of Bashar al Assad that has been used 

23 to suppress and murder its own people. 

24 (13) Since at least the late 1980s, the Govern25 ment of the Islamic Republic of Iran has engaged in 
742 

•HR 1960 EH

1 a sustained and well-documented pattern of illicit 

2 and deceptive activities to acquire a nuclear weapons 

3 capability. 

4 (14) Since September 2005, the Board of Gov5 ernors of the International Atomic Energy Agency 

6 (IAEA) has found the Islamic Republic of Iran to be 

7 in non-compliance with its safeguards agreement 

8 with the IAEA, which Iran is obligated to undertake 

9 as a non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty 

10 on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done 

11 at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, 

12 and entered into force March 5, 1970 (NPT). 

13 (15) The United Nations Security Council has 

14 adopted multiple resolutions since 2006 demanding 

15 of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran 

16 its full and sustained suspension of all uranium en17 richment-related and reprocessing activities and its 

18 full cooperation with the IAEA on all outstanding 

19 issues related to its nuclear activities, particularly 

20 those concerning the possible military dimensions of 

21 its nuclear program. 

22 (16) The Government of the Islamic Republic of 

23 Iran has refused to comply with United Nations Se24 curity Council resolutions or to fully cooperate with 

25 the IAEA. 
743 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (17) In November 2011, the IAEA Director 

2 General issued a report that documented ‘‘serious 

3 concerns regarding possible military dimensions to 

4 Iran’s nuclear programme’’, and affirmed that infor5 mation available to the IAEA indicates that ‘‘Iran 

6 has carried out activities relevant to the development 

7 of a nuclear explosive device’’ and that some activi8 ties may be ongoing. 

9 (18) The Government of Iran stands in viola10 tion of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 

11 for denying its citizens basic freedoms, including the 

12 freedoms of expression, religion, peaceful assembly 

13 and movement, and for flagrantly abusing the rights 

14 of minorities and women. 

15 (19) In his State of the Union Address on Jan16 uary 24, 2012, President Barack Obama stated, 

17 ‘‘Let there be no doubt: America is determined to 

18 prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I 

19 will take no options off the table to achieve that 

20 goal.’’. 

21 (20) Congress has passed and the President has 

22 signed into law legislation imposing significant eco23 nomic and diplomatic sanctions on Iran to encourage 

24 the Government of Iran to abandon its pursuit of 

25 nuclear weapons and end its support for terrorism. 
744 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (21) These sanctions, while having significant 

2 effect, have yet to persuade Iran to abandon its il3 licit pursuits and comply with United Nations Secu4 rity Council resolutions. 

5 (22) More stringent enforcement of sanctions 

6 legislation, including elements targeting oil exports 

7 and access to foreign exchange, could still lead the 

8 Government of Iran to change course. 

9 (23) In his State of the Union Address on Feb10 ruary 12, 2013, President Obama reiterated, ‘‘The 

11 leaders of Iran must recognize that now is the time 

12 for a diplomatic solution, because a coalition stands 

13 united in demanding that they meet their obliga14 tions. And we will do what is necessary to prevent 

15 them from getting a nuclear weapon.’’. 

16 (24) On March 4, 2012, President Obama stat17 ed, ‘‘Iran’s leaders should understand that I do not 

18 have a policy of containment; I have a policy to pre19 vent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.’’. 

20 (25) On October 22, 2012, President Obama 

21 said of Iran, ‘‘The clock is ticking * * * And we’re 

22 going to make sure that if they do not meet the de23 mands of the international community, then we are 

24 going to take all options necessary to make sure 

25 they don’t have a nuclear weapon.’’. 
745 

•HR 1960 EH

1 (26) On May 19, 2011, President Obama stat2 ed, ‘‘Every state has the right to self-defense, and 

3 Israel must be able to defend itself, by itself, against 

4 any threat.’’. 

5 (27) On September 21, 2011, President Obama 

6 stated, ‘‘America’s commitment to Israel’s security 

7 is unshakeable. Our friendship with Israel is deep 

8 and enduring.’’. 

9 (28) On March 4, 2012, President Obama stat10 ed, ‘‘And whenever an effort is made to delegitimize 

11 the state of Israel, my administration has opposed 

12 them. So there should not be a shred of doubt by 

13 now: when the chips are down, I have Israel’s 

14 back.’’. 

15 (29) On October 22, 2012, President Obama 

16 stated, ‘‘Israel is a true friend. And if Israel is at17 tacked, America will stand with Israel. I’ve made 

18 that clear throughout my presidency * * * I will 

19 stand with Israel if they are attacked.’’. 

20 (30) In December 2012, 74 United States Sen21 ators wrote to President Obama ‘‘As you begin your 

22 second term as President, we ask you to reiterate 

23 your readiness to take military action against Iran 

24 if it continues its efforts to acquire a nuclear weap25 on. In addition, we urge you to work with our Euro-
746 

•HR 1960 EH

1 pean and Middle Eastern allies to demonstrate to 

2 the Iranians that a credible and capable multilateral 

3 coalition exists that would support a military strike 

4 if, in the end, this is unfortunately necessary.’’. 

5 (31) The United States-Israel Enhanced Secu6 rity Cooperation Act of 2012 (Public Law 112–150) 

7 stated that it is United States policy to support 

8 Israel’s inherent right to self-defense. 

9 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 

10 (1) reaffirms the special bonds of friendship 

11 and cooperation that have existed between the 

12 United States and the State of Israel for more than 

13 sixty years and that enjoy overwhelming bipartisan 

14 support in Congress and among the people of the 

15 United States; 

16 (2) strongly supports the close military, intel17 ligence, and security cooperation that President 

18 Obama has pursued with Israel and urges this co19 operation to continue and deepen; 

20 (3) deplores and condemns, in the strongest 

21 possible terms, the reprehensible statements and 

22 policies of the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran 

23 threatening the security and existence of Israel; 

24 (4) recognizes the tremendous threat posed to 

25 the United States, the West, and Israel by the Gov-
747 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ernment of Iran’s continuing pursuit of a nuclear 

2 weapons capability; 

3 (5) reiterates that the policy of the United 

4 States is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear 

5 weapon capability and to take such action as may be 

6 necessary to implement this policy; 

7 (6) reaffirms its strong support for the full im8 plementation of United States and international 

9 sanctions on Iran and urges the President to con10 tinue and strengthen enforcement of sanctions legis11 lation; 

12 (7) declares that the United States has a vital 

13 national interest in, and unbreakable commitment 

14 to, ensuring the existence, survival, and security of 

15 the State of Israel, and reaffirms United States sup16 port for Israel’s right to self-defense; and 

17 (8) urges that, if the Government of Israel is 

18 compelled to take military action in legitimate self19 defense against Iran’s nuclear weapons program, the 

20 United States Government should stand with Israel 

21 and provide, in accordance with United States law 

22 and the constitutional responsibility of Congress to 

23 authorize the use of military force, diplomatic, mili24 tary, and economic support to the Government of 
748 

•HR 1960 EH

1 Israel in its defense of its territory, people, and ex2 istence. 

3 (c) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this sec4 tion shall be construed as an authorization for the use of 

5 force or a declaration of war. 

6 SEC. 1273. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ILLEGAL NUCLEAR 

7 WEAPONS PROGRAMS OF IRAN AND NORTH 

8 KOREA. 

9 It is the sense of Congress that— 

10 (1) the paramount security concern of the 

11 United States is the ongoing and illegal nuclear 

12 weapons programs of the Islamic Republic of Iran 

13 and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; 

14 (2) it should be the primary objective of the 

15 President of the United States to ensure that North 

16 Korea’s nuclear program is completely and verifiably 

17 eliminated and that Iran, and its terrorist proxies, 

18 are not allowed to develop nuclear weapons capa19 bility and the means to deliver them; 

20 (3) the continuing failure to compel Iran and 

21 North Korea to comply with their respective obliga22 tions under international law risks greater nuclear 

23 proliferation throughout already unstable regions by 

24 states that have chosen, but not irreversibly so, to 
749 

•HR 1960 EH

1 refrain from developing or acquiring their own nu2 clear weapons capability; 

3 (4) nuclear arms reductions by the United 

4 States and the Russian Federation have not per5 suaded or otherwise incentivized Iran and North 

6 Korea to halt or reverse their destabilizing and dan7 gerous nuclear weapons programs, nor have they re8 sulted in increased cooperation by other states to 

9 deal with these threats; and 

10 (5) the President should use all international 

11 fora available to the President to pursue the com12 plete and verifiable elimination of the nuclear weap13 ons programs of Iran and North Korea as the Presi14 dent’s paramount obligation to the security of the 

15 American people.

14 members have received the medal in times of con15 flict. 

16 (2) The National Personnel Records Center in

21 members of the Armed Forces who have received the 

22 medal and are undocumented.

3 (4) An appropriate memorial to current and 

4 former members of the Armed Forces is under con5 struction at March Field Air Museum in Riverside, 

6 California. 

7 (5) This memorial will honor all those members 

8 of the Armed Forces who have distinguished them9 selves in aerial flight, whether documentation of 

10 such members who earned the Distinguished Flying 

11 Cross exists or not. 

12 (b) DESIGNATION.—The memorial to members of the 

13 Armed Forces who have been awarded the Distinguished 

14 Flying Cross, located at March Field Air Museum in Riv15 erside, California, is hereby designated as the Distin16 guished Flying Cross National Memorial. 

17 (c) EFFECT OF DESIGNATION.—The national memo18 rial designated by this section is not a unit of the National 

19 Park System, and the designation of the national memo20 rial shall not be construed to require or permit Federal 

21 funds to be expended for any purpose related to the na22 tional memorial.

9 SEC. 3122. EXTENSION OF PRINCIPLES OF PILOT PROGRAM 

10 TO ADDITIONAL FACILITIES OF THE NU11 CLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE. 

12 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

13 (1) In April 2006, the Administrator for Nu14 clear Security initiated a pilot program to improve 

15 and streamline oversight of the Kansas City Plant of 

16 the National Nuclear Security Administration. 

17 (2) In a memorandum initiating the pilot, the 

18 Administrator cited slow progress in implementing 

19 previous efforts to streamline such oversight, saying 

20 that such slow progress ‘‘is a reflection of excessive 

21 risk aversion’’. 

22 (3) The pilot program shifted away from reli23 ance on directives of the Department of Energy and 

24 toward third-party certification and industrial stand25 ards whenever possible—but the pilot program spe-
943 

•HR 1960 EH

1 cifically exempted certain high-hazard operations 

2 from its scope. 

3 (4) An independent assessment conducted one 

4 year after initiation of the pilot found approximately 

5 $14,000,000 had been saved in fiscal year 2007 be6 cause of the pilot program. 

7 (5) The independent assessment found that 

8 ‘‘the replacement of Department of Energy prescrip9 tive requirements with site specific standards and 

10 operating systems was observed to be a significant 

11 cost reduction driver * * * in several business areas, 

12 this reduction was accomplished by moving toward 

13 the use of metrics and benchmarks rather than 

14 transactional oversight.’’. 

15 (6) The independent assessment further found 

16 that ‘‘no immediate or negative impacts were ob17 served as a result’’ of the pilot program and that 

18 ‘‘the lessons learned at [the Kansas City Plant] can 

19 and should be applied at other NNSA and DOE 

20 sites’’, while acknowledging that application of such 

21 lessons would be limited by the presence of high22 risk, high-hazard activities at such locations. 

23 (7) The independent assessment concluded, ‘‘it 

24 is our opinion that these elements can be encouraged 

25 and developed over time at each NNSA facility, sub-
944 

•HR 1960 EH

1 ject to the limitations made necessary by the nature 

2 of the site.’’. 

3 (b) EXTENSION OF POLICIES.— 

4 (1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided by para5 graph (2), the Administrator for Nuclear Security

11 (B) in accordance with paragraph (3), ex12 tend such principles of the pilot program, with 

13 modifications as the Administrator determines 

14 appropriate, to not less than two additional fa15 cilities of the nuclear security enterprise (as de16 fined in section 4002(5) of the Atomic Energy 

17 Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2501(5)), with such

1 (A) may exempt high-hazard or high-risk 

2 activities from such extension; 

3 (B) shall exempt nuclear operations from 

4 such extension; and 

5 (C) shall focus the initial extension of such 

6 principles on low-risk, high-reward initiatives. 

7 (3) IMPLEMENTATION.— 

8 (A) In extending the principles of the pilot 

9 program to not less than two facilities under 

10 paragraph (1)(B), the Administrator shall cer11 tify to the appropriate congressional committees 

12 that— 

13 (i) the management and operating 

14 contractor for such a facility has suffi15 ciently mature processes, as well as high 

16 performance, to enable the extension with17 out undue risk; and 

18 (ii) Federal oversight mechanisms are 

19 in place and sufficiently mature to enable 

20 the extension without undue risk. 

21 (B) If the Administrator cannot make a 

22 certification under subparagraph (A) with re23 spect to a facility— 

24 (i) the Administrator shall delay the 

25 extension of the principles of the pilot pro-
946

1 gram to such facility until the date on 

2 which the Administrator makes such cer3 tification; and 

4 (ii) not later than one year after the

15 SEC. 3503. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 

16 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

17 (1) It is in the interest of United States na18 tional security that the United States merchant ma19 rine, both ships and mariners, serve as a naval auxil20 iary in times of war or national emergency. 

21 (2) The readiness of the United States mer22 chant fleet should be augmented by a Government23 owned reserve fleet comprised of ships with national 

24 defense features that may not be available imme25 diately in sufficient numbers or types in the active

•HR 1960 EH

1 United States-owned, United States-flagged, and 

2 United States-crewed commercial industry. 

3 (3) The Ready Reserve Force of the Maritime

17 the national security needs of the United States in 

18 times of war or national emergency; 

19 (3) Federal agencies must consider investment

2 on need, for use in the America’s Marine High3 way Program of the Department of Transpor4 tation, as a recent study performed under a co5 operative agreement between the Maritime Ad6 ministration and the Navy demonstrated that 

7 dual-use vessels transporting domestic freight 

8 between United States ports could be called 

9 upon to supplement sealift capacity; 

10 (B) construction of tanker vessels to meet 

11 military transport needs; and 

12 (C) construction of vessels for use in trans13 porting potential new energy exports; and 

14 (5) the Department of Transportation, in con15 sultation with the Navy, should pursue the most 

16 cost-effective means of recapitalizing the Ready Re17 serve Force, including by promoting the building of 

18 new vessels that are militarily useful and commer19 cially viable.
