SEC. 115. DEVELOPMENT OF REQUIREMENT FOR SHIPPING CONTAINER PRODUCTION 
              FACILITY AT DOMESTIC ARMY INSTALLATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) House Report 118-301 accompanying the National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (Public Law 118-31) 
        directed the Secretary of the Army, in coordination with the 
        Commanding General, Army Materiel Command and the Assistant 
        Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and 
        Technology to provide a briefing on the costs and estimated 
        funding profile as it relates to the organic industrial base 
        modernization strategy, and facility efforts required to 
        support opportunities for organic industrial base augmentation 
        at Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky.
            (2) The briefing was directed to explore Blue Grass Army 
        Depot as a potential site for the production of metal shipping 
        containers.
            (3) Limited domestic production, coupled with the 
        concentration of global shipping container manufacturing in and 
        around China, is a strategic deployment and sustainment risk 
        for United States forces.
            (4) China produces most shipping containers and the 
        Department of Defense sources nearly all containers from Asia 
        or assembles container kits in the United States from foreign-
        producers.
            (5) Establishing a domestic source for metal shipping 
        containers would reduce reliance on foreign sources.
    (b) Shipping Container Requirement.--Not later than 180 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of the Army, the Commanding General of 
the Army Materiel Command, and the Assistant Secretary of the Army for 
Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology, shall develop a requirement for 
the establishment of a shipping container production facility within 
the United States at an Army installation found to meet feasibility and 
readiness goals.

SEC. 138. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON AIRCRAFT CARRIER PROCUREMENT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The aircraft carriers of the Navy are a cornerstone of 
        the Nation's ability to project its power and strength.
            (2) Construction of Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers 
        represents a national effort which requires predictable and 
        stable build schedules and alignment of purpose between the 
        Department of Defense, the Department of the Navy, and the 
        aircraft carrier industrial base.
            (3) The aircraft carrier industrial base includes more than 
        2,000 companies in 44 states that contribute to the 
        construction and maintenance of these complex and 
        technologically advanced ships.
            (4) The benefits of stable, executable aircraft carrier 
        procurement plans extend throughout the aircraft carrier 
        industrial base, promoting the development and retention of 
        highly-skilled workforces and capital investments in world-
        class manufacturing and shipbuilding facilities throughout the 
        Nation.
            (5) Aircraft carrier procurement plans accompanying the 
        President's budget request for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 
        forecast procurement of CVN-82 in fiscal year 2028, however, 
        the fiscal year 2025 plan defers procurement until fiscal year 
        2030, creating a significant and destabilizing production gap 
        for the aircraft carrier industrial base.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy 
        should implement aircraft carrier acquisition strategies that 
        maximize benefits to operational commanders while 
        simultaneously protecting the interests of the taxpayer and 
        supporting the national nuclear shipbuilding industrial base;
            (2) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy 
        should review and revise the acquisition strategy, including a 
        two-ship buy of CVN-82 and CVN-83, for Ford-class aircraft 
        carriers in the President's budget request for fiscal year 2026

SEC. 581. AUTHORIZATION FOR AWARD OF MEDAL OF HONOR TO E. ROYCE 
              WILLIAMS FOR ACTS OF VALOR DURING THE KOREAN WAR.

    (a) Waiver of Time Limitations.--Notwithstanding the time 
limitations specified in section 8298 of title 10, United States Code, 
or any other time limitation with respect to the awarding of certain 
medals to persons who served in the Armed Forces, the President may

Williams for the acts of valor described in subsection (b).
    (b) Acts of Valor Described.--The acts of valor described in this 
subsection are the actions of E. Royce Williams,--
            (1) as a lieutenant in the Navy, on November 18, 1952, for 
        which he was previously awarded the Navy Cross and the Taegeuk 
        Order of Military Merit of South Korea; and
            (2) as an Ace fighter pilot who shot down multiple MiG 
        aircraft.

SEC. 582. AUTHORIZATION FOR AWARD OF THE MEDAL OF HONOR TO THOMAS H. 
              GRIFFIN FOR ACTS OF VALOR AS A MEMBER OF THE ARMY DURING 
              THE VIETNAM WAR.

    (a) Acts of Valor Described.--Congress recognizes the following 
acts of valor by Thomas Helmut Griffin:
            (1) Thomas Helmut Griffin distinguished himself by valorous 
        actions against overwhelming odds while serving as a captain in 
        the Army, Senior Advisor, 4/5 Infantry Battalion, 2nd Infantry 
        Division, Army of the Republic of Vietnam.
            (2) From March 1, 1969 through March 3, 1969, during the 
        Vietnam War, such battalion was ordered to forestall an 
        imminent attack on Quang Ngai City threatened by units of the 
        North Vietnamese Army (hereinafter, ``NVA''). The 4/5 Battalion 
        engaged unabatedly with an entrenched NVA regiment over the 
        course of three days. Captain Griffin (hereinafter, ``CPT 
        Griffin'') risked his life and disregarded his personal safety, 
        all above and beyond his duty, on some 20 occasions, to lead 
        his battalion in the fight as well as direct gunships, air, and 
        artillery strikes on the enemy positions.
            (3) During the initial phase of battle, CPT Griffin made 
        numerous trips across 50 meters of open ground, while under 
        heavy automatic weapon, rocket, and small arms fire, to advise 
        on the conduct of the battle and better direct strikes against 
        enemy forces. Fearing slaughter of his soldiers, CPT Griffin, 
        with one of his counterparts from the Army of the Republic of 
        Vietnam (hereinafter, ``ARVN''), charged directly into heavy 
        enemy fire and assaulted a machine gun bunker. CPT Griffin 
        continued these runs, despite the enemy shooting the heels off 
        CPT Griffin's boots.
            (4) After taking out the NVA bunker, CPT Griffin brandished 
        the captured machine gun and rocket launcher to exhort his 
        battalion out of the kill zone and continue the assault into 
        the enemy entrenchments while remaining exposed to heavy fire. 
        CPT Griffin's raw and intense close combat leadership 
        galvanized his battalion to move out of the kill zone and 
        continue their mission.
            (5) CPT Griffin's ARVN counterpart was struck by close 
        fire, and CPT Griffin unhesitatingly carried the wounded 
        commander to safety while shielding him with his own body 
        against rocket and artillery fire. CPT Griffin proceeded to 
        carry four more wounded soldiers to safety while protecting 
        them with his own body, returning each time against devastating 
        enemy fire. While leading the final attack, CPT Griffin was hit 
        three times in the chest by enemy small arms fire, yet 
        continued to lead at the forefront of his battalion until the 
        mission was completed. Under CPT Griffin's command and 
        leadership, the 4/5 Battalion continued to reduce the enemy 
        regiment's fighting capacity.
            (6) CPT Griffin's personal leadership in intense close 
        combat resulted in a major win for his battalion against 
        overwhelming odds, killing 93 enemy soldiers and saving the 
        lives of over 300 allied soldiers by galvanizing and leading 
        them out of the kill zone.
            (7) CPT Griffin's selfless devotion to duty, his 
        extraordinary heroism, conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, 
        and numerous risks of his life above and beyond the call of 
        duty, are all in keeping with the highest traditions of the 
        Army, and reflect great credit on himself, the Armed Forces, 
        and the United States.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following with regards to the 
original decision to award a Silver Star to Thomas Helmut Griffin:
            (1) When awarding him the Silver Star, CPT Griffin's chain 
        of command was unaware of the full extent of his valorous 
        actions and the numerous risks he took for his soldiers, all 
        above and beyond the call of duty.
            (2) Congress notes that although CPT Griffin was struck 
        three times by enemy fire, and at one point was completely 
        surrounded by the enemy, he continued to fight and lead his 
        battalion against devastating and overwhelming enemy fire.
            (3) Congress notes that CPT Griffin's Commanding Officer, 
        Colonel Dean E. Hutter (ret.), sent a letter to the Department 
        of the Army dated November 6, 2013, in which he accounts for 
        the revelation of additional, substantive and material evidence 
        not known at the time of the decision to award the Silver Star, 
        and in which he describes as compelling ``the justice of 
        upgrading CPT Griffin's sustained and varied acts of combat 
        valor to their rightful level of recognition, the Medal of 
        Honor''.
            (4) Congress further notes that Colonel Hutter issued a 
        letter to former United States Representative Sam Farr on 
        September 15, 2011, noting his support for an upgrade from a 
        Silver Star to a Medal of Honor, having recognized CPT 
        Griffin's acts of valor as, ``numerous, selfless demonstrations 
        of personal risk in pressing a close-combat attack against a 
        well-entrenched element of a battalion-size enemy formation''.
    (c) Authorization of Award of Medal of Honor to Thomas Helmut 
Griffin for Acts of Valor as a Member of the Army During the Vietnam 
War.--
            (1) Authorization.--Notwithstanding the time limitations 
        specified in section 7274 of title 10, United States Code, or

Star.

SEC. 584. AUTHORIZATION OF AWARD OF MEDAL OF HONOR TO GREGORY MCMANUS 
              FOR ACTS OF VALOR.

limitations specified in section 7274 of title 10, United States Code, 
or any other time limitation with respect to the awarding of certain 
medals to persons who served in the Armed Forces, the President is 
authorized to award the Medal of Honor, under section 7271 of such 
title, to Gregory McManus for the acts of valor described in subsection 
(b).
    (b) Acts of Valor Described.--The acts of valor described in this 
subsection are the following:
            (1) Chief Warrant Officer Gregory McManus distinguished 
        himself for his brave acts of valor while serving in the United 
        States Army by risking his life to save the lives of his fellow 
        servicemembers.
            (2) Chief Warrant Officer McManus deserves recognition for 
        his acts of valor while serving as the commander of a single 
        helicopter gunship on an important mission north of Chai Duc.
            (3) Discovering an envoy of hundreds of enemy troops along 
        the Cambodian border, Chief Warrant Officer McManus attacked 
        the enemy without hesitation.
            (4) Chief Warrant Officer McManus disregarded the tracers 
        that rose to meet him, firing rockets the entire length of the 
        convoy, confusing the enemy, and scattering the troop column.
            (5) Chief Warrant Officer McManus then attacked an armored 
        vehicle with a mounted machine gun, destroying it and a large 
        artillery piece which it was towing.
            (6) Over and over, Chief Warrant Officer McManus flew 
        through heavy automatic weapons and machine gun fire to attack 
        the enemy, only deciding to return when his ordinance was 
        expended, and his ship had taken so much damage that further 
        flight was inadvisable.
            (7) With this noble deed, Chief Warrant Officer McManus was 
        able to destroy the enemy unit and scattered the rest in 
        disorder with a single ship.
            (8) Disregarding the size and scope of the enemy troop's 
        convoy, Chief Warrant Officer McManus put his own life in 
        danger, all in the service of his country and members of the 
        Armed Forces.
            (9) Because of the heroic actions of Chief Warrant Officer 
        McManus, countless American soldier's lives were saved.
            (10) These actions of heroism by Chief Warrant Officer 
        McManus deserves recognition and demonstrates this hero of the 
        United States more than deserve the medal of honor.

SEC. 587. AUTHORIZATION OF AWARD OF MEDAL OF HONOR TO JOSEPH M. PEREZ 
              FOR ACTS OF VALOR AS A MEMBER OF THE ARMY DURING THE 
              VIETNAM WAR.

    (a) Recognition of Acts of Valor.--Congress recognizes the 
following acts of valor by Joseph M. Perez:
            (1) Joseph M. Perez distinguished himself by valorous 
        actions against overwhelming odds while serving as a Sergeant 
        in the Army, with Company C, 3rd Battalion, 8th Infantry 
        Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, in South Vietnam.
            (2) On May 26, 1967, during the Vietnam War, Sergeant Perez 
        acted as the fire team leader with the Commanding Officer of 
        Company C and led an infantry unit conducting a search and 
        destroy task near the Cambodian border. When the unit reached 
        the top of a hill, they were suddenly under attack from a 
        concealed sniper.
            (3) During the initial phase of battle, Sergeant Perez and 
        the unit took cover to assess and decide the strength of the 
        enemy and determine the direction of where the attack was 
        coming from. When the enemy launched a hand-grenade, the fire 
        team returned fire. Without hesitation or concern for his 
        personal safety, Sergeant Perez absorbed the full lethal 
        explosion of the grenade and shielded his fellow soldiers from 
        the blast. The explosion caused Sergeant Perez to lose his 
        right eye and severed his right hand.
            (4) The fire team moved to relocate to a safer area, 
        leaving Sergeant Perez alone. Once Sergeant Perez regained 
        consciousness, he crawled twenty meters to safe ground to be 
        treated by medics.
            (5) Sergeant Perez's personal leadership in intense close 
        combat resulted in a major win for his battalion against 
        overwhelming odds, though he lost his eye and hand and nearly 
        lost his life, he saved the lives of three of his fire team 
        members from death and serious injuries from the explosion.
            (6) Sergeant Perez's selfless devotion to duty, his 
        extraordinary heroism, conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, 
        and numerous risks of his life above and beyond the call of 
        duty are all in keeping with the highest traditions of the 
        Army, and reflect great credit on himself, the Armed Forces, 
        and the United States.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) When awarding him the distinguished-service cross, 
        Sergeant Perez's chain of command was unaware of the full

SEC. 1214. HELP ISRAEL RECOVER THE HOSTAGES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) There has been substantial and sustained cooperation 
        between United States diplomatic, military, and intelligence 
        agencies and Israeli counterparts to help Israel release those 
        taken hostage on the attacks of October 7th, 2023.
            (2) Multiple proposals for returning the hostages and 
        implementing a ceasefire have been developed with the help of 
        the United States and international partners and presented to 
        both Israel and Hamas.

        refusing to release the hostages and extending the suffering of 
        civilians on both sides of the border.
            (4) The global community, including the United States, must 
        exert necessary pressure on Hamas leadership to accept a 
        ceasefire proposal, release the hostages and relinquish 
        governing control of Gaza.
            (5) It is imperative that the United States continues to 
        work with international partners to release the remaining 
        hostages, including 8 Americans.

                patient care;
                    (B) increasing the medical capacity of the 
                Department of Defense by expanding patient access to

                and when appropriate;
                    (C) improving the standard of care through

                promote standardized medical procedures, patient care, 
                and policies; and
                    (D) enhancing interoperability and 
                interchangeability where feasible through shared 
                patient record management techniques, medical equipment 
                commonality, and coordination of medical care.
            (4) Activities.--In carrying out the Program, the Secretary 
        of Defense should seek to conduct the following activities--
                    (A) assess and integrate current Department of

                        various countries in the Indo-Pacific region 
                        during peacetime and wartime operations;

                        patient care, and policies;
                            (iii) to securely share patient data with 
                        foreign countries when appropriate to do so, 
                        such as during a contingency;
                            (iv) with respect to medical equipment

          Subtitle B--Matters Relating to South and East Asia

SEC. 1311. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SOUTH KOREA.

    It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
reinforce the United States alliance with the Republic of Korea in 
support of the shared objective of a peaceful and stable Korean 
Peninsula, including by--
            (1) maintaining the presence of approximately 28,500 
        members of the United States Armed Forces deployed to the 
        country, enhancing mutual defense industrial base cooperation; 
        and
            (2) affirming the United States commitment to extended 
        deterrence using the full range of United States defense 
        capabilities, consistent with the Mutual Defense Treaty Between 
        the United States and the Republic of Korea, signed at 
        Washington, October 1, 1953.

SEC. 1312. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TAIWAN DEFENSE RELATIONS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States' one China policy, as guided by the 
        Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), 
        the Three Communiques between the United States and the 
        People's Republic of China, and the Six Assurances provided by 
        the United States to Taiwan in July 1982, is the foundation for 
        United States-Taiwan relations;
            (2) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the United 
        States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the 
        People's Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the 
        future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means, and that 
        any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than 
        peaceful means, including boycotts and embargoes, is of grave 
        concern to the United States;
            (3) the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior of 
        the People's Republic of China toward Taiwan is contrary to the 
        expectation of the peaceful resolution of the future of Taiwan;
            (4) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the capacity 
        to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that 
        would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic 
        system, of the people on Taiwan should be maintained;
            (5) the United States should continue to support the 
        development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces 
        necessary for Taiwan to maintain sufficient defensive 
        capabilities, including by--
                    (A) supporting acquisition by Taiwan of defense 
                articles and services through foreign military sales, 
                direct commercial sales, and industrial cooperation, 
                with an emphasis on capabilities that support an 
                asymmetric strategy;
                    (B) ensuring timely review of and response to 
                requests of Taiwan for defense articles and services;
                    (C) conducting practical training and military 
                exercises with Taiwan that enable Taiwan to maintain 
                sufficient defensive capabilities, as described in the 
                Taiwan Relations Act;
                    (D) exchanges between defense officials and 
                officers of the United States and Taiwan at the 
                strategic, policy, and functional levels, consistent 
                with the Taiwan Travel Act (Public Law 115-135; 132 
                Stat. 341), especially for the purposes of--
                            (i) enhancing cooperation on defense 
                        planning;
                            (ii) improving the interoperability of the 
                        military forces of the United States and 
                        Taiwan; and
                            (iii) improving the reserve force of 
                        Taiwan;
                    (E) cooperating with Taiwan to improve its ability 
                to employ military capabilities in asymmetric ways, as 
                described in the Taiwan Relations Act; and
                    (F) expanding cooperation in humanitarian 
                assistance and disaster relief; and
            (6) the United States should increase its support to a free 
        and open society in the face of aggressive efforts by the 
        Government of the People's Republic of China to curtail or 
        influence the free exercise of rights and democratic franchise.

                user with the applications content to the detriment of 
                the United States;
                    (C) the manner and extent of foreign ownership or 
                control of the application or data collected by the

                application, including in prior versions of the 
                application or in other applications created by the 
                owners of such application;
                    (F) any known impact from prior use of the 
                application to Department personnel or operations; and
                    (G) the foreign mobile application of concern 
                residing on a United States Government device or a 
                personally owned device while in proximity to

        building strategic partnerships with African countries and 
        bolstering stability on the continent.

of Defense shall offer to all members of Congress a briefing on the 
adequacy of institutional capacity building in countries within the

        extremist organizations through additional institutional 
        capacity building in such countries by the Department.

        Regulations, when the applicable requirements of that 
        categorical exclusion have been met.
            (2) New categorical exclusions.--
                    (A) In general.--Not later than 6 months after the 
                date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall 
                publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to propose new 
                Maritime Administration categorical exclusions for port 
                authority projects that are in compliance with the 
                National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 
                4321 et seq.).
                    (B) Expanding list.--The Maritime Administration's 
                list of categorical exclusions may be expanded with the 
                goal of having a list that allows the Maritime 
                Administration to issue categorical exclusions that 
                maritime port authorities would typically use, 
                independently of the lists of other Department of 
                Transportation modal agencies, including categorical 
                exclusions that the Secretary determines would be 
                useful to maritime port authorities in the course of 
                Federal grant-funded projects.
            (3) Process for regular updates.--The Secretary shall 
        include in the rule required by paragraph (2) a process by 
        which the Maritime Administration will update the list of 
        categorical exclusions to reflect lessons learned in grant 
        administration and project construction that lead to new 
        efficiencies in the requirements of the National Environmental 
        Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
    (c) Application Timelines.--Section 54301(a)(5) of title 46, United 
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(C) Delayed notice of funding opportunity.--If an 
                amendment is made to a published solicitation for grant 
                applications such that an applicant would need the 
                information contained in the amendment to draft an 
                application, other than an amendment of the amount of 
                grant funding available, the Secretary shall extend the 
                application deadline by the number of days between the 
                initial solicitation and the amendment.''.
    (d) Project Budget Reviews.--Section 54301(a)(9) of title 46, 
United States Code, is amended--
            (1) in subparagraph (B) by striking ``and'' at the end;
            (2) in subparagraph (C) by striking the period at the end 
        and inserting ``; and''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(D) grant contracts are approved efficiently by 
                the Secretary, minimizing delays for minor adjustments 
                to project scopes and budgets due to inflationary 
                effects on projects.''.
    (e) Staffing and Grant Timelines.--Section 54301(a)(11) of title 
46, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(C) Administrative and oversight report.--Not 
                later than 365 days after the date of the enactment of 
                this subparagraph, and each year thereafter, the 
                Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the 
                average length of grant obligation timelines and the 
                nature of any staffing shortages relevant to 
                administering this program.''.
