SEC. 148. MULTI-SPECTRAL IMAGING CAPABILITIES.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The budget of the President for fiscal year 2007, as 
        submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United 
        States Code, and the current Future-Years Defense Program 
        adopts an Air Force plan to retire the remaining fleet of U-2 
        aircraft by 2011.
            (2) This retirement would eliminate the multi-spectral 
        capability provided by the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) 
        Senior Year Electro-optical Reconnaissance System (SYERS-2) 
        high-altitude imaging system.
            (3) The system referred to in paragraph (2) provides high-
        resolution, long-range, day-and-night image intelligence.
            (4) The infrared capabilities of the system referred to in 
        paragraph (2) can defeat enemy efforts to use camouflage or 
        concealment, as well as provide images through poor visibility 
        and smoke.
            (5) Although the Air Force has previously recognized the 
        military value of Senior Year Electro-optical Reconnaissance 
        System sensors, the Air Force has no plans to migrate this 
        capability to any platform remaining in the fleet.
            (6) The Air Force could integrate such capabilities onto 
        the Global Hawk platform to retain this capability for 
        combatant commanders.
            (7) The Nation risks a loss of an important intelligence 
        gathering capability if this capability is not transferred to 
        another platform.
    (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the Air 
Force should investigate ways to retain the multi-spectral imaging 
capabilities provided by the Senior Year Electro-optical Reconnaissance 
System high-altitude imaging system after the retirement of the U-2 
aircraft fleet.
    (c) Report Requirement.--The Secretary of the Air Force shall 
submit to the congressional defense committees, at the same time the 
budget of the President for fiscal year 2008 is submitted to Congress 
under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, a plan for 
migrating the capabilities provided by the Senior Year Electro-optical 
Reconnaissance System high-altitude imaging system from the U-2 
aircraft to the Global Hawk platform before the retirement of the U-2 
aircraft fleet in 2011.

SEC. 149. MINUTEMAN III INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of 
        Conference on H.R. 1815, the National Defense Authorization Act 
        for Fiscal Year 2006, the conferees state that the policy of 
        the United States ``is to deploy a force of 500 ICBMs''. The 
        conferees further note ``that unanticipated strategic 
        developments may compel the United States to make changes to 
        this force structure in the future.''.
            (2) The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) conducted under 
        section 118 of title 10, United States Code, in 2005 finds that 
        maintaining a robust nuclear deterrent ``remains a keystone of 
        United States national power''. However, notwithstanding that 
        finding and without providing any specific justification for 
        the recommendation, the Quadrennial Defense Review recommends 
        reducing the number of deployed Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) from 500 to 450 beginning in fiscal 
        year 2007. The Quadrennial Defense Review also fails to 
        identify what unanticipated strategic developments compelled 
        the United States to reduce the Intercontinental Ballistic 
        Missile force structure.
            (3) The commander of the Strategic Command, General James 
        Cartwright, testified before the Committee on Armed Services of 
        the Senate that the reduction in deployment of Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles is required so that the 50 
        missiles withdrawn from the deployed force could be used for 
        test assets and spares to extend the life of the Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missile well into the future. If 
        spares are not modernized, the Air Force may not have 
        sufficient replacement missiles to sustain the force size.
    (b) Modernization of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles 
Required.--The Air Force shall modernize Minuteman III Intercontinental 
Ballistic Missiles in the United States inventory as required to 
maintain a sufficient supply of launch test assets and spares to 
sustain the deployed force of such missiles through 2030.
    (c) Limitation on Termination of Modernization Program Pending 
Report.--No funds authorized to be appropriated for the Department of 
Defense may be obligated or expended for the termination of any 
Minuteman III ICBM modernization program, or for the withdrawal of any 
Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile from the active force, 
until 30 days after the Secretary of Defense submits to the 
congressional defense committees a report setting forth the following:
            (1) A detailed strategic justification for the proposal to 
        reduce the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile 
        force from 500 to 450 missiles, including an analysis of the 
        effects of the reduction on the ability of the United States to 
        assure allies and dissuade potential competitors.
            (2) A detailed analysis of the strategic ramifications of 
        continuing to equip a portion of the Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force with multiple 
        independent warheads rather than single warheads as recommended 
        by past reviews of the United States nuclear posture.
            (3) An assessment of the test assets and spares required to 
        maintain a force of 500 deployed Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missiles through 2030.
            (4) An assessment of the test assets and spares required to 
        maintain a force of 450 deployed Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missiles through 2030.
            (5) An inventory of currently available Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missile test assets and spares.
            (6) A plan to sustain and complete the modernization of all 
        deployed and spare Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic 
        Missiles, a test plan, and an analysis of the funding required 
        to carry out modernization of all deployed and spare Minuteman 
        III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles.
            (7) An assessment of whether halting upgrades to the 
        Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles withdrawn 
        from the deployed force would compromise the ability of those 
        missiles to serve as test assets.
            (8) A description of the plan of the Department of Defense 
        for extending the life of the Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missile force beyond fiscal year 2030.
    (d) Remote Visual Assessment.--
            (1) Additional amount for research, development, test, and 
        evaluation, air force.--The amount authorized to be 
        appropriated by section 201(3) for research, development, test, 
        and evaluation for the Air Force is hereby increased by 
        $5,000,000.
            (2) Availability of amount.--Of the amount authorized to be 
        appropriated by section 201(3) for research, development, test, 
        and evaluation for the Air Force, as increased by paragraph 
        (1), $5,000,000 may be available for ICBM Security 
        Modernization (PE #0604851) for Remote Visual Assessment for 
        security for silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles 
        (ICBMs).
            (3) Offset.--The amount authorized to be appropriated by 
        section 103(2) for procurement of missiles for the Air Force is

SEC. 231. AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION 
              FUNDS FOR FIELDING BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE 
              CAPABILITIES.

    Upon approval by the Secretary of Defense, funds authorized to be 
appropriated for fiscal year 2008 for the use of the Department of 
Defense for research, development, test, and evaluation and available 
for the Missile Defense Agency may be used for the development and 
fielding of ballistic missile defense capabilities.

SEC. 232. POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES ON PRIORITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT, 
              TESTING, AND FIELDING OF MISSILE DEFENSE CAPABILITIES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In response to the threat posed by ballistic missiles, 
        President George W. Bush in December 2002 directed the 
        Secretary of Defense to proceed with the fielding of an initial 
        set of missile defense capabilities in 2004 and 2005.
            (2) According to assessments by the intelligence community 
        of the United States, North Korea tested in 2005 a new solid 
        propellant short-range ballistic missile and is likely 
        developing intermediate-range and intercontinental ballistic 
        missile capabilities that could someday reach as far as the 
        United States with a nuclear payload.
            (3) According to assessments by the intelligence community 
        of the United States, Iran continued in 2005 to test its medium 
        range ballistic missile, and the danger that Iran will acquire 
        a nuclear weapon and integrate it with a ballistic missile Iran 
        already possesses is a reason for immediate concern.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that the 
Department of Defense accord a priority within the missile defense 
program to the development, testing, fielding, and improvement of 
effective near-term missile defense capabilities, including the ground-
based midcourse defense system, the Aegis ballistic missile defense 
system, the Patriot PAC-3 system, the Terminal High Altitude Area 
Defense system, and the sensors necessary to support such systems.

SEC. 353. REPORT ON AERIAL TRAINING AIRSPACE REQUIREMENTS OF THE 
              DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Access to and use of available and unfettered aerial 
        training airspace is critical for preserving aircrew 
        warfighting proficiency and the ability to test, evaluate, and 
        improve capabilities of both personnel and equipment within the 
        most realistic training environments possible.
            (2) The growth of civilian and commercial aviation traffic 
        and the rapid expansion of commercial and general air traffic 
        lanes across the continental United States has left few 
        remaining areas of the country available for realistic air 
        combat training or expansion of existing training areas.
            (3) Many Military Operating Areas (MOAs) originally 
        established in what was once open and uncongested airspace are 
        now encroached upon by a heavy volume of commercial and general 
        air traffic, making training more difficult and potentially 
        hazardous.
            (4) Some aerial training areas in the upper great plains, 
        western States, and Gulf coast remain largely free from 
        encroachment and available for increased use, expansion, and 
        preservation for the future.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Department of Defense should--
            (1) establish a policy to identify military aerial training 
        areas that are projected to remain viable and free from 
        encroachment well into the 21st century;
            (2) determine aerial training airspace requirements to meet 
        future training and airspace requirements of current and next 
        generation military aircraft; and
            (3) undertake all necessary actions in a timely manner, 
        including coordination with the Federal Aviation 
        Administration, to preserve and, if necessary, expand those 
        areas of airspace to meet present and future training 
        requirements.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees a report setting forth a proposed plan 
to preserve and, if necessary, expand available aerial training 
airspace to meet the projected needs of the Department of Defense for 
such airspace through 2025.

SEC. 355. REPORTS ON WITHDRAWAL OR DIVERSION OF EQUIPMENT FROM RESERVE 
              UNITS FOR SUPPORT OF RESERVE UNITS BEING MOBILIZED AND 
              OTHER UNITS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The National Guard continues to provide invaluable 
        resources to meet national security, homeland defense, and 
        civil emergency mission requirements.
            (2) Current military operations, transnational threats, and 
        domestic emergencies will increase the use of the National 
        Guard for both military support to civilian authorities and to 
        execute the military strategy of the United States.
            (3) To meet the demand for certain types of equipment for 
        continuing United States military operations, the Army has 
        required Army National Guard Units to leave behind many items 
        for use by follow-on forces.
            (4) The Governors of every State and 2 Territories 
        expressed concern in February 2006 that units returning from 
        deployment overseas without adequate equipment would have 
        trouble carrying out their homeland security and domestic 
        disaster duties.
            (5) The Department of Defense estimates that it has 
        directed the Army National Guard to leave overseas more than 
        75,000 items valued at approximately $1,760,000,000 to support 
        Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
            (6) Department of Defense Directive 1225.6 requires a 
        replacement and tracking plan be developed within 90 days for 
        equipment of the reserve components of the Armed Forces that is 
        transferred to the active components of the Armed Forces.
            (7) In October 2005, the Government Accountability Office 
        found that the Department of Defense can only account for about 
        45 percent of such equipment and has not developed a plan to 
        replace such equipment.
            (8) The Government Accountability Office also found that 
        without a completed and implemented plan to replace all 
        National Guard equipment left overseas, Army National Guard 
        units will likely face growing equipment shortages and 
        challenges in regaining readiness for future missions.

        clause.

        Orders No. 3, dated February 22, 1932.
            (4) The criteria for the award was originally announced in 
        War Department Circular dated February 22, 1932, and revised by 
        Presidential Executive Order 9277, dated December 3, 1942; 
        Executive Order 10409, dated February 12, 1952; Executive Order 
        11016, dated April 25, 1962; and Executive Order 12464, dated 
        February 23, 1984.

        of the Armed Forces who qualify under criteria set forth by 
        Presidential Executive Order.

subsection (d), the President shall make a determination on expanding 
eligibility to all deceased servicemembers held as a prisoner of war 
after December 7, 1941, and who meet the criteria establishing

10, but who do not meet the criteria establishing eligibility for the 
Purple Heart.

subsection (b), the President shall take into consideration--
            (1) the brutal treatment endured by thousands of POWs 
        incarcerated by enemy forces;

        abuse, the deliberate withholding of medical treatment for 
        injury or disease, or other causes which do not currently meet 
        the criteria for award of the Purple Heart;
            (3) the views of veteran organizations, including the

Heart to military members who die in captivity under unknown 
circumstances or as a result of conditions and treatment which 
currently do not qualify the decedent for award of the Purple Heart;

              PROGRAMS.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall modify the 
regulations of the Department of Defense on the use of fixed-price type 
contracts in development programs.
    (b) Elements.--As modified under subsection (a), the regulations 
described in that subsection shall--
            (1) establish a preference for the use of fixed-price type 
        contracts in development programs to the maximum extent 
        practicable in light of the level of program risk; and
            (2) require the use of fixed-price type contracts in each 
        contract for system development and demonstration, or 
        operational system development, unless the use of a different 
        contract type is specifically authorized pursuant to subsection 
        (c).
    (c) Authorization of Use of Different Contract Type.--
            (1) In general.--As modified under subsection (a), the 
        regulations described in that subsection shall provide that the 
        Secretary of Defense may authorize the use of a difference 
        contract type under subsection (b)(2) with respect to a program 
        upon a written determination by the Secretary that--
                    (A) the program is so complex and technically 
                challenging that it would not be practicable to reduce 
                program risk to a level that would permit the use of a 
                fixed-price type contract; and
                    (B) the complexity and technical challenge of the 
                program is not the result of a failure to meet the 
                certification requirements established in section 2366a 
                of title 10, United States Code.
            (2) Submittal to congressional defense committees.--The 
        regulations shall provide that a copy of any determination on a 
        program under paragraph (1), together with an explanation of

        congressional defense committees with the first Selected 
        Acquisition Report submitted under section 2432 of title 10, 
        United States Code, after such determination is made.
            (3) Delegation of authority.--The regulations shall provide 
        that the authority to make a determination under paragraph (1) 
        may not be delegated below the level of the Under Secretary of

    (d) Repeal of Superseded Requirements.--Section 807 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1989 (10 U.S.C. 2304 note) is 
repealed.

        date that is 120 days after the date of the enactment of this 
        Act.
            (2) System development and demonstration or operational 
        system development.--The modification required by subsection 
        (b)(2) in the regulations shall apply with respect to programs 
        that enter into system development and demonstration, or

    ``(a) Authority.--Except as provided in subsection (f), the 
Secretary of Defense may waive the application of any domestic source 
requirement or domestic content requirement referred to in subsection 
(b) and thereby authorize the procurement of items that are grown, 
reprocessed, reused, produced, or manufactured--
            ``(1) in a foreign country that has a Declaration of 
        Principles with the United States;

        Principles with the United States substantially from components 
        and materials grown, reprocessed, reused, produced, or 
        manufactured in the United States or any foreign country that 
        has a Declaration of Principles with the United States; or
            ``(3) in the United States substantially from components 
        and materials grown, reprocessed, reused, produced, or 
        manufactured in the United States or any foreign country that

    ``(b) Covered Requirements.--For purposes of this section:
            ``(1) A domestic source requirement is any requirement

        reprocessed, reused, produced, or manufactured in the United 
        States or by a manufacturer that is a part of the national 
        technology and industrial base (as defined in section 2500(1) 
        of this title).
            ``(2) A domestic content requirement is any requirement

        manufactured partly or wholly from components and materials 
        grown, reprocessed, reused, produced, or manufactured in the 
        United States.
    ``(c) Applicability.--The authority of the Secretary to waive the 
application of a domestic source or content requirements under 
subsection (a) applies to the procurement of items for which the 
Secretary of Defense determines that--
            ``(1) application of the requirement would impede the 
        reciprocal procurement of defense items under a Declaration of 
        Principles with the United States; and
            ``(2) such country does not discriminate against defense 
        items produced in the United States to a greater degree than 
        the United States discriminates against defense items produced 
        in that country.
    ``(d) Limitation on Delegation.--The authority of the Secretary to 
waive the application of domestic source or content requirements under 
subsection (a) may not be delegated to any officer or employee other

the authority under subsection (a) to waive any domestic source or 
content requirement contained in any of the following laws:

subsection (a) to waive a domestic source requirement or domestic 
content requirement is in addition to any other authority to waive such 
requirement.
    ``(h) Clarification of Relationship With Buy American Act.--Nothing 
in this section shall be construed to alter in any way the 
applicability of the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a), or the authority 
of the Secretary of Defense to waive the requirements of such Act, with 
respect to the procurement of any item to which such Act would apply 
without regard to this section.
    ``(i) Construction With Respect to Later Enacted Laws.--This 
section may not be construed as being inapplicable to a domestic source 
requirement or domestic content requirement that is set forth in a law 
enacted after the enactment of this section solely on the basis of the 
later enactment.
    ``(j) Declaration of Principles.--(1) In this section, the term 
`Declaration of Principles' means a written understanding (including 
any Statement of Principles) between the Department of Defense and its 
counterpart in a foreign country signifying a cooperative relationship

understanding or other agreement providing for the reciprocal 
procurement of defense items between the United States and the foreign 
country concerned without unfair discrimination in accordance with 
section 2531 of this title.''.

              AGREEMENTS.

apply to a procurement by or for the Department of Defense to the 
extent that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Commerce, the United States Trade Representative, and the 
Secretary of State, determines that it is inconsistent with United 
States obligations under a trade agreement.

a financial interest in the development or construction of an 
individual system or element of a system of systems if the Secretary of

        systems integrator'' under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall

                the production, fielding, and sustainment of complex 
                systems, including their role in addressing increases 
                in cost, the evolution of interoperability 
                requirements, and the maintenance and sustainment of 
                critical capabilities.
                    (B) The unique engineering and integration skills 
                of lead systems integrators.
                    (C) The management and organizational skills and 
                capabilities of lead systems integrators, including the 
                capacity of lead systems integrators to facilitate the 
                participation of small and disadvantaged businesses in 
                the production, fielding, and sustainment of complex 
                systems.
    (d) Contract Types and Fee Structures.--The Secretary of Defense 
shall include in the report required by section 805 of the National

    (a) Guidance on Linking of Award and Incentive Fees to Acquisition 
Outcomes.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall issue guidance, with detailed 
implementation instructions (including definitions), for the Department 
of Defense on the appropriate use of award and incentive fees in 
Department of Defense acquisition programs.
    (b) Elements.--The guidance under subsection (a) shall--
            (1) ensure that all new contracts using award fees link 
        such fees to acquisition outcomes (which shall be defined in 
        terms of program cost, schedule, and performance);
            (2) provide guidance on the circumstances in which 
        contractor performance may be judged to be ``excellent'' or 
        ``superior'' and the percentage of the available award fee 
        which contractors should be paid for such performance;
            (3) establish standards for determining the percentage of 
        the available award fee, if any, which contractors should be 
        paid for performance that is judged to be ``acceptable'', 
        ``average'', ``expected'', ``good'', or ``satisfactory'';
            (4) ensure that no award fee may be paid for contractor 
        performance that is judged to be below-satisfactory performance 
        or performance that does not meet the basic requirements of the 
        contract;
            (5) provide specific direction on the circumstances, if 
        any, in which it may be appropriate to roll over award fees 
        that are not earned in one award fee period to a subsequent 
        award fee period or periods;
            (6) ensure that the Department of Defense--
                    (A) collects relevant data on award and incentive 
                fees paid to contractors; and
                    (B) has mechanisms in place to evaluate such data 
                on a regular basis;
            (7) include performance measures to evaluate the 
        effectiveness of award and incentive fees as a tool for 
        improving contractor performance and achieving desired program 
        outcomes; and
            (8) provide mechanisms for sharing proven incentive 
        strategies for the acquisition of different types of products 
        and services among contracting and program management 
        officials.
    (c) Assessment of Independent Evaluation Mechanisms.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall select a 
        federally-funded research and development center to assess 
        various mechanisms that could be used to ensure an independent 
        evaluation of contractor performance for the purpose of making 
        determinations applicable to the judging and payment of award 
        fees.
            (2) Considerations.--The assessment conducted pursuant to 
        paragraph (1) shall include consideration of the advantages and 
        disadvantages of a system in which award fees are--
                    (A) held in a separate fund or funds of the 
                Department of Defense; and
                    (B) allocated to a specific program only upon a 
                determination by an independent board, charged with 
                comparing contractor performance across programs, that 
                such fees have been earned by the contractor for such 
                program.
            (3) Report.--The Secretary shall submit to the 
        congressional defense committees a report on the assessment 
        conducted pursuant to paragraph (1) not later than one year

        civil interests of the United States.
            (2) Key priorities for the national security space 
        activities of the United States include improving the capacity 
        to support military operations worldwide and responding to 
        strategic military threats.
            (3) To the maximum extent possible, space capabilities 
        should be integrated into the strategy, doctrine, operations, 
        and contingency plans of the Armed Forces of the United States.

        access to responsive space capabilities that provide prompt, 
        focused support in their theater of operations, which 
        capabilities should compliment other national and Department of 
        Defense space assets while providing direct and flexible 
        support to the warfighter on the battlefield.
            (5) The United States Space Transportation Policy of 
        January 6, 2005, calls for the demonstration, before 2010, of 
        an initial capability for operationally responsive access to 
        and use of space to support the national security requirements 
        of the United States.

SEC. 1024. OPERATION BAHAMAS, TURKS & CAICOS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In 1982 the United States Government created Operation 
        Bahamas, Turks & Caicos (OPBAT) to counter the smuggling of 
        cocaine into the United States.
            (2) According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, an estimated 
        80 percent of the cocaine entering the United States in the 
        1980s came through the Bahamas, whereas, according to the 
        Office of National Drug Control Policy, only an estimated 10 
        percent comes through the Bahamas today.
            (3) According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, more than 
        80,000 kilograms of cocaine and nearly 700,000 pounds of 
        marijuana have been seized in Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos 
        since 1986, with a combined street value of approximately two 
        trillion dollars.
            (4) The Army has provided military airlift to law 
        enforcement officials under Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos 
        to create an effective, reliable, and immediate response 
        capability for drug interdiction. This support is largely 
        responsible for the decline in cocaine shipments to the United 
        States through the Bahamas.
            (5) The Bahamas is an island nation composed of 
        approximately 700 islands and keys, which makes aviation assets 
        the best and most efficient method of transporting law 
        enforcement agents and interdicting smugglers.
            (6) It is in the interests of the United States to maintain 
        the results of the successful Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos 
        program and prevent drug smugglers from rebuilding their 
        operations through the Bahamas.

        outlining the plan for the coordination of the Operation 
        Bahamas, Turks & Caicos mission, at the same level of 
        effectiveness, using other United States Government assets.
            (2) Consultation.--The Secretary of Defense shall consult 
        with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the

        withdrawal of equipment referred to in that paragraph shall 
        include the following:
                    (A) An explanation of the military justification 
                for the withdrawal of the equipment.
                    (B) An assessment of the availability of other 
                options (including other Government helicopters) to 
                provide the capability being provided by the equipment 
                to be withdrawn.
                    (C) An explanation of how each option specified 
                under subparagraph (B) will provide the capability 
                currently provided by the equipment to be withdrawn.
                    (D) An assessment of the potential use of unmanned 
                aerial vehicles in Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, 
                including the capabilities of such vehicles and any 
                advantages or disadvantages associated with the use of 
                such vehicles in that operation, and a recommendation 
                on whether or not to deploy such vehicles in that

              DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) It is critical that members of the Armed Forces have 
        clear guidelines about the legality of interrogation techniques 
        as they seek critical intelligence in the War on Terrorism.
            (2) To avoid confusion, any determination made about the 
        legality of various interrogation techniques must be consistent 
        across the United States Government.
            (3) Confusion continues about the permissibility of various 
        interrogation techniques, even after the enactment of the 
        Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (title X of division A of Public 
        Law 109-148).
            (4) In testimony before the Senate and in written response 
        to queries from the Senate, senior military commanders, Judge 
        Advocates General of the Armed Forces, and various civilian 
        officials of the Executive Branch have given incomplete or 
        varying answers to questions on what constitutes cruel, 
        inhuman, or degrading treatment.
            (5) It is critical to clarify these matters in order to 
        ensure that members of the Armed Forces do not receive unclear 
        or misleading guidance on such matters.

              PROSECUTE CASES OF CONTRACTING ABUSE IN IRAQ, 
              AFGHANISTAN, AND THROUGHOUT THE WAR ON TERROR.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Waste, fraud, and abuse in contracting are harmful to 
        United States efforts to successfully win the conflicts in Iraq 
        and Afghanistan and succeed in the war on terror. The act of 
        stealing from our soldiers who are daily in harm's way is 
        clearly criminal and must be actively prosecuted.
            (2) It is a vital interest of United States taxpayers to be 
        protected from theft of their tax dollars by corrupt 
        contractors.
            (3) Whistleblower lawsuits are an important tool for 
        exposing waste, fraud, and abuse and can identify serious graft 
        and corruption.
            (4) This issue is of paramount importance to the United 
        States taxpayer, and the Congress must be provided with 
        information about alleged contractor waste, fraud, and abuse 
        taking place in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the war on 
        terror and about the efforts of the Department of Justice to 
        combat these crimes.

        contracting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the war on 
        terror.

                waste, fraud, and abuse related to the activities of 
                the United States Government in Iraq, Afghanistan, and

            (1) The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) under section 118

                paragraph:

                new paragraph (9):
            ``(9) The specific capabilities, including the general 
        number and type of specific military platforms, needed to 
        achieve the strategic and warfighting objectives identified in 
        the review.''.

            (4) Independent assessment.--Such section is further 
        amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(f) Independent Assessment.--(1) Not later than one year before

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) on June 7, 2006, the United States Armed Forces 
        conducted an air raid near the City of Baquba, northeast of 
        Baghdad, Iraq, that resulted in the death of Ahmad Fadeel al-
        Nazal al-Khalayleh, better known as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the 
        leader of the al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist organization and the 
        most wanted terrorist in Iraq;
            (2) Zarqawi, as the operational commander of al-Qaeda in 
        Iraq, led a brutal campaign of suicide bombings, car bombings, 
        assassinations, and abductions that caused the deaths of many 
        members of the United States Armed Forces, civilian officials 
        of the United States Government, thousands of innocent Iraqi 
        civilians, and innocent civilians of other nations;
            (3) Zarqawi publicly swore his allegiance to Osama bin 
        Laden and al-Qaeda in 2004, and changed the name of his 
        terrorist organization from the ``Monotheism and Holy War 
        Group'' to ``al-Qaeda in Iraq'';
            (4) in an audiotape broadcast in December 2004, Osama bin 
        Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda's worldwide terrorist 
        organization, called Zarqawi ``the prince of al-Qaeda in 
        Iraq'';
            (5) 3 perpetrators confessed to being paid by Zarqawi to 
        carry out the October 2002 assassination of the United States 
        diplomat, Lawrence Foley, in Amman, Jordan;
            (6) the Monotheism and Holy War Group claimed 
        responsibility for--
                    (A) the August 2003 suicide attack that destroyed

                Najaf that occurred less than 2 weeks later, which 
                killed at least 85 people, including the Ayatollah

            (11) Zarqawi sought to turn Iraq into a safe haven for al-
        Qaeda;
            (12) to achieve that end, Zarqawi stated his opposition to 
        the democratically elected government of Iraq and worked to 
        divide the Iraqi people, foment sectarian violence, and incite 
        a civil war in Iraq; and
            (13) the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, 
        the intelligence community, and other agencies, along with 
        coalition partners and the Iraqi Security Forces, should be

        their extraordinary efforts to secure a free and prosperous 
        Iraq;
            (4) commends our civilian and military leadership for their 
        continuing efforts to eliminate the leadership of al-Qaeda in 
        Iraq, and also commends the new government of Iraq, led by 
        Prime Minister Jawad al-Maliki, for its contribution to that 
        achievement;
            (5) recognizes that the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is a

        end to ethnic and sectarian violence, and to achieve a free, 
        prosperous, and secure future for Iraq; and
            (8) affirms that the Senate will continue to support the 
        United States Armed Forces, the democratically elected unity 
        government of Iraq, and the people of Iraq in their quest to 
        secure a free, prosperous, and democratic Iraq.

SEC. 1087. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON DESTRUCTION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, 
        Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 
        Their Destruction, done at Paris on January 13, 1993 (commonly 
        referred to as the ``Chemical Weapons Convention''), requires 
        all United States chemical weapons stockpiles be destroyed by 
        no later than the extended deadline of April 29, 2012.
            (2) On April 10, 2006, the Department of Defense notified 
        Congress that the United States would not meet even the 
        extended deadline under the Chemical Weapons Convention for 
        destruction of United States chemical weapons stockpiles.
            (3) Destroying existing chemical weapons is a homeland 
        security imperative, an arms control priority, and required by 
        United States law.
            (4) The elimination and nonproliferation of chemical 
        weapons of mass destruction is of utmost importance to the 
        national security of the United States.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the United States is committed to making every effort 
        to safely dispose of its chemical weapons stockpiles by the 
        Chemical Weapons Convention deadline of April 29, 2012, or as 
        soon thereafter as possible, and will carry out all of its 
        other obligations under the Convention;
            (2) the Secretary of Defense should prepare a comprehensive 
        schedule for safely destroying the United States chemical 
        weapons stockpiles to prevent further delays in the destruction 
        of such stockpiles, and the schedule should be submitted 
        annually to the congressional defense committees separately or 
        as part of another required report; and
            (3) the Secretary of Defense should make every effort to

            (5) Members of the Armed Forces of the United States have

SEC. 1103. AUTHORITY TO EQUALIZE ALLOWANCES, BENEFITS, AND GRATUITIES 
              OF PERSONNEL ON OFFICIAL DUTY IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) As part of the United States effort to bring democracy 
        and freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan, employees of a broad range 
        of Federal agencies are needed to serve in those countries, 
        furnishing expertise to their counterpart agencies in the 
        Government of Iraq and the Government of Afghanistan.
            (2) While the heads of a number of Federal agencies already 
        possess authority to provide to their personnel on official 
        duty abroad allowances, benefits, and death gratuities 
        comparable to those provided by the Secretary of State to 
        similarly-situated Foreign Service personnel on official duty 
        abroad, other agency heads do not possess such authority.
            (3) In order to assist the United States Government in 
        recruiting personnel to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to 
        avoid inequities in allowances, benefits, and death gratuities 
        among similarly-situated United States Government civilian 
        personnel on official duty in these countries, it is essential 
        that the heads of all agencies that have personnel on official 
        duty in Iraq and Afghanistan have the same basic authority with 
        respect to allowances, benefits, and death gratuities for such 
        personnel.
    (b) In General.--During any fiscal year, the head of an agency may, 
in the agency head's discretion, provide to an individual employed by, 
or assigned or detailed to, such agency allowances, benefits, and 
gratuities comparable to those provided by the Secretary of State to 
members of the Foreign Service under section 413 and chapter 9 of title 
I of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3973; 4081 et seq.), if 
such individual is on official duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.
    (c) Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
impair or otherwise affect the authority of the head of an agency under 
any other provision of law.

SEC. 1209. UNITED STATES' POLICY ON THE NUCLEAR PROGRAMS OF IRAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that:
            (1) The pursuit by the Iranian regime of a capability to 
        produce nuclear weapons represents a threat to the United 
        States, the middle east region, and international peace and 
        security.
            (2) On May 31, 2006, Secretary of State Rice announced that 
        the United States would join negotiations with Iran, along with 
        the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, provided that Iran 
        fully and verifiably suspends its enrichment and reprocessing 
        activities.
            (3) On June 1, 2006, President George W. Bush stated that 
        ``Secretary Rice, at my instructions, said to the world that we 
        want to solve the problem of the Iranian nuclear issue 
        diplomatically. And we made it very clear publicly that we're 
        willing to come to the table, so long as the Iranians 
        verifiably suspend their program. In other words, we said to 
        the Iranians [that] the United States of America wants to work 
        with our partners to solve the problem''.
            (4) On June 1, 2006, the United States, the United Kingdom, 
        France, Germany, the People's Republic of China, and the 
        Russian Federation agreed upon a package of incentives and 
        disincentives, which was subsequently presented to Iran by the 
        High Representative of the European Union, Javier Solana.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
            (1) endorses the policy of the United States, announced May 
        31, 2006, to achieve a successful diplomatic outcome, in 
        coordination with leading members of the international 
        community, with respect to the threat posed by the efforts of

SEC. 1211. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS COMMENDING THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ FOR 
              AFFIRMING ITS POSITION OF NO AMNESTY FOR TERRORISTS WHO 
              ATTACK UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Armed Forces of the United States and coalition 
        military forces are serving heroically in Iraq to provide all 
        the people of Iraq a better future.
            (2) The Armed Forces of the United States and coalition 
        military forces have served bravely in Iraq since the beginning 
        of military operations in March 2003.
            (3) More than 2,500 of the Armed Forces of the United 
        States and members of coalition military forces have been 
        killed and more than 18,000 injured in operations to bring 
        peace and stability to all the people of Iraq.
            (4) The National Security Advisor of Iraq affirmed that the 
        Government of Iraq will ``never give amnesty to those who have 
        killed American soldiers or Iraqi soldiers or civilians.''
            (5) The National Security Advisor of Iraq thanked ``the 
        American wives and American women and American mothers for the 
        treasure and blood they have invested in this country . . . of 
        liberating 30 million people in this country . . . and we are 
        ever so grateful.''
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the goal of the United States and our coalition 
        partners has been to empower the Iraqi nation with full 
        sovereignty thereby recognizing their freedom to exercise that 
        sovereignty. Through successive elections and difficult 
        political agreements the unity government is now in place 
        exercising that sovereignty. We must respect that exercise of 
        that sovereignty in accordance with their own wisdom;
            (2) history records that governments derived of free 
        elections should not grant amnesty to those who have committed 
        war crimes or terrorists acts; and
            (3) the United States should continue with the historic 
        tradition of diplomatically, economically, and in a 
        humanitarian manner assisting nations and the people who have 
        fought once a conflict is concluded.

            (2) The Armed Forces of the United States and coalition 
        military forces have served bravely in Iraq since the beginning 
        of military operations in March of 2003.
            (3) More than 2,500 members of the Armed Forces of the 
        United States and members of coalition military forces have 
        been killed and more than 18,000 injured in operations to bring 
        peace and stability to all the people of Iraq.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of Iraq should not grant amnesty to 
        persons known to have attacked, killed, or wounded members of 
        the Armed Forces of the United States; and
            (2) the President should immediately notify the Government 
        of Iraq that the Government of the United States strongly

            (4) National Security Presidential Directive 44, entitled 
        ``Management of Interagency Efforts Concerning Reconstruction 
        and Stabilization'', is a positive step toward improving 
        coordination, planning, and implementation by the United States 
        Government of reconstruction and stabilization assistance for

        from conflict or civil strife;
            (5) all the relevant United States Government agencies 
        should include in their budget requests for future fiscal years 
        adequate funding for planning and preparing to support 
        contingency operations and, as necessary, request emergency 
        supplemental funds for unanticipated contingency operations; 
        and
            (6) the President should provide clear guidance to United 
        States Government agencies to manage complex operations and 
        establish a standard, integrated approach to the planning and 
        conduct of interagency operations to ensure a coherent and 
        unified United States Government approach to contingency 
        operations.

                assistance programs.
            (3) A description of available capabilities and resources 
        of each department and agency of the United States Government 
        that could be used in support of stabilization and
