    impact on stability and security in the region.
        (2) The Middle East is an area of vital and strategic 
    importance to the United States.
        (3) The United States has played a military role in the Middle 
    East, most recently in the Persian Gulf War, and may likely be 
    called upon again to deter aggression in the region.
        (4) United States troops have used desalting technologies to 
    guarantee the availability of fresh water in past deployments in 
    the Middle East.

         Subtitle E--National Oceanographic Partnership Program

SEC. 281. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
        (1) The oceans and coastal areas of the United States are among 
    the Nation's most valuable natural resources, making substantial 
    contributions to economic growth, quality of life, and national 
    security.
        (2) Oceans drive global and regional climate. Hence, they 
    contain information affecting agriculture, fishing, and the 
    prediction of severe weather.
        (3) Understanding of the oceans through basic and applied 
    research is essential for using the oceans wisely and protecting 
    their limited resources. Therefore, the United States should 
    maintain its world leadership in oceanography as one key to its 
    competitive future.
        (4) Ocean research and education activities take place within 
    Federal agencies, academic institutions, and industry. These 
    entities often have similar requirements for research facilities, 
    data, and other resources (such as oceanographic research vessels).
        (5) The need exists for a formal mechanism to coordinate 
    existing partnerships and establish new partnerships for the 
    sharing of resources, intellectual talent, and facilities in the 
    ocean sciences and education, so that optimal use can be made of 
    this most important natural resource for the well-being of all 
    Americans.

    SEC. 546. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT REGARDING REEMPLOYMENT 
      RIGHTS FOR MOBILIZED RESERVISTS EMPLOYED IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
    (a) Sense of Congress.--Congress is concerned about the lack of 
reemployment rights afforded Reserve component members who reside in 
foreign countries and either work for United States companies that 
maintain offices or operations in foreign countries or work for foreign 
employers. Being outside the jurisdiction of the United States, these 
employers are not subject to the provisions of chapter 43 of title 38, 
United States Code, known as the Uniformed Services Employment and 
Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The purpose of that Act is to provide 
statutory employment protections that include reinstatement, seniority, 
status, and rate of pay coverage for Reservists who are ordered to 
active duty for a specified period of time, including involuntary 
active duty in support of an operational contingency. While most 
Reserve members are afforded the protections of that Act (which covers 
reemployment rights in their civilian jobs upon completion of military 
service), approximately 2,000 members of the Selected Reserve reside 
outside the United States and its territories and, not being guaranteed 
the job protection envisioned by the USERRA, are potentially subject to 
reemployment problems after release from active duty. This situation 
poses a continuing personnel management challenge for the reserve 
components.
    (b) Recognition of Problem.--Congress, while recognizing that 
foreign governments and companies located abroad, not being within the 
jurisdiction of the United States, cannot be required to comply with 
the provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment 
Rights Act, also recognizes that there is a need to provide assistance 
to Reservists in the situation described in subsection (a), both in the 
near term and the long term.
    (c) Report Requirement.--Not later than April 1, 1997, the 
Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the Committee on National Security of the House of 
Representatives a report that sets forth recommended actions to help 
alleviate reemployment problems for Reservists who are employed outside 
the United States and its territories by United States companies that 
maintain offices or operations in foreign countries or by foreign 
employers. The report shall include recommendations on the assistance 
and support that may be required by other organizations of the 
Government, including the Defense Attache Offices, the Department of 
Labor, and the Department of State. The report shall be prepared in 
consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Labor.
    SEC. 547. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS UNDER MOBILIZATION INCOME INSURANCE 
      PROGRAM.
    Section 12527(a) of title 10, United States Code, is amended--
        (1) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``of the Selected Reserve'' 
    after ``a member''; and
        (2) by striking out paragraph (2) and inserting in lieu thereof 
    the following:
    ``(2) The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary 
of Transportation, shall prescribe regulations which specify the 
procedures for payment of premiums by members of the Individual Ready 
Reserve and other members who do not receive pay on a monthly basis.''.

                   Subtitle B--Force Structure Review

SEC. 921. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Military Force Structure Review 
Act of 1996''.

SEC. 922. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United 
    States has conducted two substantial assessments of the force 
    structure of the Armed Forces necessary to meet United States 
    defense requirements.
        (2) The assessment by the Bush Administration (known as the 
    ``Base Force'' assessment) and the assessment by the Clinton 
    Administration (known as the ``Bottom-Up Review'') were intended to 
    reassess the force structure of the Armed Forces in light of the 
    changing realities of the post-Cold War world.
        (3) Both assessments served an important purpose in focusing 
    attention on the need to reevaluate the military posture of the 
    United States, but the pace of global change necessitates a new, 
    comprehensive assessment of the defense strategy of the United 
    States and the force structure of the Armed Forces required to meet 
    the threats to the United States in the twenty-first century.
        (4) The Bottom-Up Review has been criticized on several points, 
    including--
            (A) the assumptions underlying the strategy of planning to 
        fight and win two nearly simultaneous major regional conflicts;
            (B) the force levels recommended to carry out that 
        strategy; and
            (C) the funding proposed for such recommended force levels.
        (5) In response to the recommendations of the Commission on 
    Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces, the Secretary of Defense 
    endorsed the concept of conducting a quadrennial review of the 
    defense program at the beginning of each newly elected Presidential 
    administration, and the Department intends to complete the first 
    such review in 1997.
        (6) The review is to involve a comprehensive examination of 
    defense strategy, the force structure of the active, guard, and 
    reserve components, force modernization plans, infrastructure, and 
    other elements of the defense program and policies in order to 
    determine and express the defensestrategy of the United States and 
to establish a revised defense program through the year 2005.
        (7) In order to ensure that the force structure of the Armed 
    Forces is adequate to meet the challenges to the national security 
    interests of the United States in the twenty-first century, to 
    assist the Secretary of Defense in conducting the review referred 
    to in paragraph (5), and to assess the appropriate force structure 
    of the Armed Forces through the year 2010 and beyond (if 
    practicable), it is important to provide for the conduct of an 
    independent, nonpartisan review of the force structure that is more 
    comprehensive than prior assessments of the force structure, 
    extends beyond the quadrennial defense review, and explores 
    innovative and forward-thinking ways of meeting such challenges.

SEC. 923. QUADRENNIAL DEFENSE REVIEW.

    (a) Requirement in 1997.--The Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall complete in 1997 
a review of the defense program of the United States intended to 
satisfy the requirements for a Quadrennial Defense Review as identified 
in the recommendations of the Commission on Roles and Missions of the 
Armed Forces. The review shall include a comprehensive examination of 
the defense strategy, force structure, force modernization plans, 
infrastructure, budget plan, and other elements of the defense program 
and policies with a view toward determining and expressing the defense 
strategy of the United States and establishing a revised defense 
program through the year 2005.
    (b) Involvement of National Defense Panel.--(1) The Secretary shall 
apprise the National Defense Panel established under section 924, on an 
ongoing basis, of the work undertaken in the conduct of the review.
    (2) Not later than March 14, 1997, the Chairman of the National 
Defense Panel shall submit to the Secretary the Panel's assessment of 
work undertaken in the conduct of the review as of that date and shall 
include in the assessment the recommendations of the Panel for 
improvements to the review, including recommendations for additional 
matters to be covered in the review.
    (c) Assessments of Review.--Upon completion of the review, the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chairman of the National 
Defense Panel, on behalf of the Panel, shall each prepare and submit to 
the Secretary such Chairman's assessment of the review in time for the 
inclusion of the assessment in its entirety in the report under 
subsection (d).
    (d) Report.--Not later than May 15, 1997, the Secretary shall 
submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
Committee on National Security of the House of Representatives a 
comprehensive report on the review. The report shall include the 
following:
        (1) The results of the review, including a comprehensive 
    discussion of the defense strategy of the United States and the 
    force structure best suited to implement that strategy.
        (2) The threats examined for purposes of the review and the 
    scenarios developed in the examination of such threats.
        (3) The assumptions used in the review, including assumptions 
    relating to the cooperation of allies and mission-sharing, levels 
    of acceptable risk, warning times, and intensity and duration of 
    conflict.
        (4) The effect on the force structure of preparations for and 
    participation in peace operations and military operations other 
    than war.
        (5) The effect on the force structure of the utilization by the 
    Armed Forces of technologies anticipated to be available by the 
    year 2005, including precision guided munitions, stealth, night 
    vision, digitization, and communications, and the changes in 
    doctrine and operational concepts that would result from the 
    utilization of such technologies.
        (6) The manpower and sustainment policies required under the 
    defense strategy to support engagement in conflicts lasting more 
    than 120 days.
        (7) The anticipated roles and missions of the reserve 
    components in the defense strategy and the strength, capabilities, 
    and equipment necessary to assure that the reserve components can 
    capably discharge those roles and missions.
        (8) The appropriate ratio of combat forces to support forces 
    (commonly referred to as the ``tooth-to-tail'' ratio) under the 
    defense strategy, including, in particular, the appropriate number 
    and size of headquarter units and Defense Agencies for that 
    purpose.
        (9) The air-lift and sea-lift capabilities required to support 
    the defense strategy.
        (10) The forward presence, pre-positioning, and other 
    anticipatory deployments necessary under the defense strategy for

    more theaters under the defense strategy in the event of conflict 
    in such theaters.
        (12) The advisability of revisions to the Unified Command Plan 
    as a result of the defense strategy.
        (13) Any other matter the Secretary considers appropriate.

        (A) develop recommendations regarding a variety of force 
    structures for the Armed Forces that permit the forward deployment 
    of sufficient air, land, and sea-based forces to provide an 
    effective deterrent to conflict and to permit a military response 
    by the United States to the scenarios developed under paragraph 
    (3);
        (B) to the extent practicable, estimate the funding required by

        (1) The process undertaken in the Department of Defense, and in 
    each of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, to define and 
    develop doctrine, operational concepts, organizational concepts, 
    and acquisition strategies to address--
            (A) the potential of emerging technologies for 
        significantly improving the operational effectiveness of the 
        Armed Forces;
            (B) changes in the international order that may necessitate 
        changes in the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces;

SEC. 1043. REPORT ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MILITARY CHILD CARE 
PROGRAMS.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Department of Defense should be congratulated on the 
    successful implementation of the Military Child Care Act of 1989 
    (originally enacted as title XV of Public Law 101-189 and 
    subsequently codified as subchapter II of chapter 88 of title 10, 
    United States Code).
        (2) The actions taken by the Department as a result of that Act 
    have dramatically improved the availability, affordability, 
    quality, and consistency of the child-care services provided to 
    members of the Armed Forces.
        (3) Child care is important to the readiness of members of the 
    Armed Forces since single parents and couples in military service 
    must have access to affordable child care of good quality if they 
    are to perform their jobs and respond effectively to long work 
    hours or deployments.
        (4) Child care is important to the retention of members of the 
    Armed Forces in military service because the dissatisfaction of the 
    families of such members with military life is a primary reason for 
    the departure of such members from military service.
    (b) Sense of Congress Related to Military-Civilian Child-Care 
Partnership Programs.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the civilian and military child-care communities, Federal, 
    State, and local agencies, and businesses and communities involved 
    in the provision of child-care services could benefit from the 
    development of partnerships to foster an exchange of ideas, 
    information, and materials relating to their experiences with the 
    provision of such services and to encourage closer relationships 
    between military installations and the communities that support 
    them;
        (2) such partnerships would be beneficial to all families by 
    helping providers of child-care services exchange ideas about 
    innovative ways to address barriers to the effective provision of 
    such services; and
        (3) there are many ways that such partnerships could be 
    developed, including--
            (A) cooperation between the directors and curriculum 
        specialists of military child development centers and civilian 
        child development centers in assisting such centers in the 
        accreditation process;
            (B) use of family support staff to conduct parent and 
        family workshops for new parents and parents with young 
        children in family housing on military installations and in 
        communities in the vicinity of such installations;
            (C) internships in Department of Defense child-care 
        programs for civilian child-care providers to broaden the base 
        of good-quality child-care services in communities in the 
        vicinity of military installations; and
            (D) attendance by civilian child-care providers at 
        Department child-care training classes on a space-available 
        basis.
    (c) Report.--Not later than June 30, 1997, the Secretary of Defense 
shall submit to Congress a report on the status of any partnerships and 
other initiatives undertaken by the Department of Defense as described 
in subsection (b), including recommendations for additional ways to 
improve the child-care programs of the Department of Defense and to 
improve such programs so as to benefit civilian child-care providers in 
communities in the vicinity of military installations.
SEC. 1044. REPORT ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MILITARY YOUTH PROGRAMS.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Programs of the Department of Defense for youth who are 
    dependents of members of the Armed Forces have not received the 
    same level of attention and resources as have child-care programs 
    of the Department since the passage of the Military Child Care Act 
    of 1989 (originally enacted as title XV of Public Law 101-189 and 
    subsequently codified as subchapter II of chapter 88 of title 10, 
    United States Code).
        (2) Older children deserve as much attention to their 
    developmental needs as do younger children.
        (3) The Department has started to direct more attention to 
    programs for youths who are dependents of members of the Armed 
    Forces by providing funds for the implementation of 20 model 
    community programs to address the needs of such youths.
        (4) The lessons learned from such programs could apply to 
    civilian youth programs as well.
    (b) Sense of Congress Related to Military-Civilian Youth 
Partnership Programs.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the Department of Defense, Federal, State, and local 
    agencies, and businesses and communities involved in conducting 
    youth programs could benefit from the development of partnerships 
    to foster an exchange of ideas, information, and materials relating 
    to such programs and to encourage closer relationships between 
    military installations and the communities that support them;
        (2) such partnerships could be beneficial to all families by 
    helping the providers of services for youths exchange ideas about 
    innovative ways to address barriers to the effective provision of 
    such services; and
        (3) there are many ways that such partnerships could be 
    developed, including--
            (A) cooperation between the Department and Federal and 
        State educational agencies in exploring the use of public 
        school facilities for child-care programs and youth programs 
        that are mutually beneficial to the Department and civilian 
        communities and complement programs of the Department carried 
        out at its facilities; and
            (B) improving youth programs that enable adolescents to 
        relate to new peer groups when families of members of the Armed 
        Forces are relocated.
    (c) Report.--Not later than June 30, 1997, the Secretary of Defense 
shall submit to Congress a report on the status of any partnerships and 
other initiatives undertaken by the Department as described in 
subsection (b), including recommendations for additional ways to 
improve the youth programs of the Department of Defense and to improve 
such programs so as to benefit communities in the vicinity of military 
installations.

SEC. 1081. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING SEMICONDUCTOR TRADE AGREEMENT 
BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The United States and Japan share a long and important 
    bilateral relationship which serves as an anchor of peace and 
    stability in the Asia Pacific region, an alliance which was 
    reaffirmed at the recent summit meeting between President Clinton 
    and Prime Minister Hashimoto in Tokyo.
        (2) The Japanese economy has experienced difficulty over the 
    past few years, demonstrating that it is no longer possible for 
    Japan, the world's second largest economy, to use exports as the 
    sole engine of economic growth, but that the Government of Japan 
    must promote deregulation of its domestic economy in order to 
    increase economic growth.
        (3) Deregulation of the Japanese economy requires government 
    attention to the removal of barriers to imports of manufactured 
    goods.
        (4) The United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement has 
    begun the process of deregulation in the semiconductor sector and 
    is opening the Japanese market to competitive foreign products.
        (5) The United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement has 
    put in place both government-to-government and industry-to-industry 
    mechanisms which have played a vital role in allowing cooperation 
    to replace conflict in this important high technology sector.
        (6) The mechanisms include joint calculation of foreign market 
    share, deterrence of dumping, and promotion of industrial 
    cooperation in the design of foreign semiconductor devices.
        (7) Because of these actions under the United States-Japan 
    Semiconductor Trade Agreement, the United States and Japan today 
    enjoy trade in semiconductors which is mutually beneficial, 
    harmonious, and free from the friction that once characterized the 
    semiconductor industry.
        (8) Because of structural barriers in Japan, a gap still 
    remains between the share of the world market for semiconductor 
    products outside Japan that the United States and other foreign 
    semiconductor sources are able to capture through competitiveness 
    and the share of the Japanese semiconductor market that the United 
    States and those other sources are able to capture through 
    competitiveness, and that gap is consistent across the full range 
    of semiconductor products as well as a full range of end-use 
    applications.
        (9) The competitiveness and health of the United States 
    semiconductor industry is of critical importance to the overall 
    economic well-being and high-technology defense capabilities of the 
    United States.
        (10) The economic interests of both the United States and Japan 
    are best served by well functioning, open markets, deterrence of 
    dumping, and continuing good cooperative relationships in all 
    sectors, including semiconductors.
        (11) A strong and healthy military and political alliance 
    between the United States and Japan requires continuation of the 
    industrial and economic cooperation promoted by the United States-
    Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement.
        (12) President Clinton has called on the Government of Japan to 
    agree to a continuation of the United States-Japan Semiconductor 
    Trade Agreement beyond the current agreement's expiration on July 
    31, 1996.
        (13) The Government of Japan has opposed any continuation of 
    the United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement to promote 
    cooperation in United States-Japan semiconductor trade.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--On the basis of the findings contained in 
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) it is regrettable that the Government of Japan has refused 
    to consider continuation of the United States-Japan Semiconductor 
    Trade Agreement to ensure that cooperation continues in the 
    semiconductor sector beyond the expiration of the agreement on July 
    31, 1996; and
        (2) the President should take all necessary and appropriate 
    actions to ensure the resumption and extension of the United 
    States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement beyond July 31, 1996.
    (c) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term ``United 
States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement'' refers to the agreement 
between the United States and Japan concerning trade in semiconductor 
products, with arrangement, done by exchange of letters at Washington 
on June 11, 1991.
SEC. 1082. AGREEMENTS FOR EXCHANGE OF DEFENSE PERSONNEL BETWEEN THE

        (A) military and civilian personnel of the Department of 
    Defense; and
        (B) military and civilian personnel of the defense ministry of 
    that foreign government.
    (b) Assignment of Personnel.--(1) Pursuant to an international 
defense personnel exchange agreement, personnel of the defense ministry 
of a foreign government may be assigned to positions in the Department 
of Defense and personnel of the Department of Defense may be assigned 
to positions in the defense ministry of such foreign government. 
Positions to which exchanged personnel are assigned may include 
positions of instructors.
    (2) An agreement for the exchange of personnel engaged in research 
and development activities may provide for assignment of Department of 
Defense personnel to positions in private industry that support the 
defense ministry of the host foreign government.
    (3) An individual may not be assigned to a position pursuant to an

Agency Act of 1996''.

SEC. 1102. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) There is a need within the Department of Defense and the 
    Intelligence Community of the United States to provide a single 
    agency focus for the growing number and diverse types of customers 
    for imagery and geospatial information resources within the 
    Government, to ensure visibility and accountability for those 
    resources, and to harness, leverage, and focus rapid technological 
    developments to serve the imagery, imagery intelligence, and 
    geospatial information customers.
        (2) There is a need for a single Government agency to solicit 
    and advocate the needs of that growing and diverse pool of 
    customers.
        (3) A single combat support agency dedicated to imagery, 
    imagery intelligence, and geospatial information could act as a 
    focal point for support of all imagery intelligence and geospatial 
    information customers, including customers in the Department of 
    Defense, the Intelligence Community, and related agencies outside 
    of the Department of Defense.
        (4) Such an agency would best serve the needs of the imagery, 
    imagery intelligence, and geospatial information customers if it 
    were organized--
            (A) to carry out its mission responsibilities under the 
        authority, direction, and control of the Secretary of Defense, 
        with the advice of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; 
        and
            (B) to carry out its responsibilities to national 
        intelligence customers in accordance with policies and 
        priorities established by the Director of Central Intelligence.

under a common ceiling, the Secretary shall make recommendations for

SEC. 1305. REPORT ON MILITARY CAPABILITIES OF PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF 
CHINA.
    (a) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall prepare a report, in 
both classified and unclassified form, on the future pattern of 
military modernization of the People's Republic of China. The report 
shall address both the probable course of military-technological 
development in the People's Liberation Army and the development of 
Chinese military strategy and operational concepts.
    (b) Matters To Be Included.--The report shall include analyses and 
forecasts of the following:
        (1) Trends that would lead the People's Republic of China 
    toward advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
    capabilities, either through a development program or by gaining 
    access to commercial or third-party systems with militarily 
    significant capabilities.
        (2) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to develop highly 
    accurate and low-observable ballistic and cruise missiles, and the 
    investments in infrastructure that would allow for production of 
    such weapons in militarily significant quantities, particularly in 
    numbers sufficient to conduct attacks capable of overwhelming 
    projected defense capabilities in the region.
        (3) Development by the People's Republic of China of enhanced 
    command and control networks, particularly those capable of battle 
    management that would include long-range precision strikes.
        (4) Programs of the People's Republic of China involving 
    unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly those with extended ranges 
    or loitering times.
        (5) Exploitation by the People's Republic of China of the 
    Global Positioning System or other similar systems, including 
    commercial land surveillance satellites, for significant military 
    purposes, including particularly for increasing the accuracy of

    capabilities for denial of sea control, such as advanced sea mines 
    or improved submarine capabilities.
        (7) Continued development by the People's Republic of China of 
    follow-on forces, particularly those capable of rapid air or 
    amphibious assault.
    (c) Submission of Report.--The report shall be submitted to 
Congress not later than February 1, 1997.
SEC. 1306. PRESIDENTIAL REPORT REGARDING WEAPONS PROLIFERATION AND 
POLICIES OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
        (1) the People's Republic of China acceded to the Treaty on the 
    Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (hereafter in this section 
    referred to as the ``NPT'') on March 9, 1992;
        (2) the People's Republic of China is not a member of the 
    Nuclear Suppliers Group and remains the only major nuclear supplier 
    that continues to transfer nuclear technology, equipment, and 
    materials to countries that have not agreed to the application of 
    safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (hereafter in 
    this section referred to as the ``IAEA'') over all of their nuclear 
    materials;
        (3) on June 30, 1995, the United States and 29 other members of 
    the Nuclear Suppliers Group notified the Director General of the 
    IAEA that the Government of each respective country has decided 
    that the controls of thatGroup should not be defeated by the 
transfer of component parts;
        (4) a state-owned entity in the People's Republic of China, the 
    China Nuclear Energy Industry Corporation, has knowingly 
    transferred specially designed ring magnets to an unsafeguarded 
    uranium enrichment facility in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan;
        (5) ring magnets are identified on the Trigger List of the 
    Nuclear Suppliers Group as a component of magnetic suspension 
    bearings which are to be exported only to countries that have 
    safeguards of the IAEA over all of their nuclear materials;
        (6) these ring magnets could contribute significantly to the 
    ability of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to produce additional 
    unsafeguarded enriched uranium, a nuclear explosive material;
        (7) the Government of the People's Republic of China has 
    transferred nuclear equipment and technology to the Islamic 
    Republic of Iran, despite repeated claims by the Government of the 
    United States that the Islamic Republic of Iran is engaged in 
    clandestine efforts to acquire a nuclear explosive device;
        (8) representatives of the Government of the People's Republic 
    of China have repeatedly assured the Government of the United 
    States that the People's Republic of China would abide by the 
    guidelines of the Missile Technology Control Regime (hereafter in 
    this section referred to as the ``MTCR'');
        (9) the Government of China has transferred M-11 missiles to 
    the Islamic Republic of Pakistan; and
        (10) the M-11 missile conforms to the definition of a nuclear-
    capable missile under the MTCR.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) the assistance that the People's Republic of China has 
    provided to the Islamic Republic of Iran and to the Islamic 
    Republic of Pakistan could contribute to the ability of such 
    countries to manufacture nuclear weapons;
        (2) the recent transfer by the People's Republic of China of 
    ring magnets to an unsafeguarded uranium enrichment facility in the 
    Islamic Republic of Pakistan conflicts with China's obligations 
    under Articles I and III of the NPT, as well as the official 
    nonproliferation policies and assurances by the People's Republic 
    of China and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan with respect to the 
    nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear-capable missiles;
        (3) the transfer of M-11 missiles from the People's Republic of 
    China to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is inconsistent with 
    longstanding United States Government interpretations of assurances 
    from the Government of the People's Republic of China with respect 
    to that country's intent to abide by the guidelines of the MTCR;
        (4) violations by the People's Republic of China of the 
    standards and objectives of the MTCR and global nuclear 
    nonproliferation regimes have jeopardized the credibility of the 
    MTCR and such regimes;
        (5) the MTCR and global nuclear nonproliferation regimes 
    require collective international action to impose costs against and 
    to withhold benefits from any country, including the People's 
    Republic of China, that engages in activities that are contrary to 
    the objectives of those regimes;
        (6) the President should explore with the governments of other 
    countries new opportunities for collective action in response to 
    activities of any country, including the People's Republic of 
    China, that aid or abet the global proliferation of weapons of mass 
    destruction or their means of delivery; and
        (7) the President should communicate to the Government of the 
    People's Republic of China the sense of the Congress that the 
    stability and growth of future relations between the people, the 
    economies, and the Governments of the United States and the 
    People's Republic of China willsignificantly depend upon 
substantive evidence of cooperation by the Government of the People's 
Republic of China in efforts to halt the global proliferation of 
weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the President shall submit to the Congress a report, in 
both classified and unclassified form, concerning the transfer from the 
People's Republic of China to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan of 
technology, equipment, or materials important to the production of 
nuclear weapons and their means of delivery. The President shall 
include in the report the following:
        (1) The specific justification of the Secretary of State for 
    determining that there was not a sufficient basis for imposing 
    sanctions under section 2(b)(4) of the Export-Import Bank Act of 
    1945, as amended by section 825 of the Nuclear Proliferation 
    Prevention Act of 1994, by reason of the transfer of ring magnets 
    and other technology, equipment, or materials from the People's 
    Republic of China to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
        (2) What commitment the United States Government is seeking 
    from the People's Republic of China to ensure that the People's 
    Republic of China establishes a fully effective export control 
    system that will prevent transfers (such as the Pakistan sale) from 
    taking place in the future.
        (3) A description of the pledges, assurances, and other 
    commitments made by representatives of the Governments of the 
    People's Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to 
    the Government of the United States since January 1, 1991, with 
    respect to the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons or nuclear-
    capable missiles, and an assessment of the record of compliance 
    with such undertakings.
        (4) Whether, in light of the recent assurances provided by the 
    People's Republic of China, the President intends to make the 
    certification and submit the report required by section 
    902(a)(6)(B) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal 
    Years 1990 and 1991 (22 U.S.C. 2151 note), and make the 
    certification and submit the report required by Public Law 99-183, 
    relating to the approval and implementation of the agreement for 
    nuclear cooperation between the United States and the People's 
    Republic of China, and, if not, why not.
        (5) Whether the Secretary of State considers the recent 
    assurances and clarifications provided by the People's Republic of 
    China to have provided sufficient information to allow the United 
    States to determine that the People's Republic of China is not in 
    violation of paragraph (2) of section 129 of the Atomic Energy Act 
    of 1954, as required by Public Law 99-183.
        (6) If the President is unable or unwilling to make the 
    certifications and reports referred to in paragraph (4), a 
    description of what the President considers to be the significance 
    of the clarifications and assurances provided by the People's 
    Republic of China in the course of the recent discussions regarding 
    the transfer by the People's Republic of China of nuclear-weapon-
    related equipment to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
        (7) A description of the laws, regulations, and procedures 
    currently used by the People's Republic of China to regulate 
    exports of nuclear technology, equipment, or materials, including 
    dual-use goods, and an assessment of the effectiveness of such 
    arrangements.
        (8) A description of the current policies and practices of 
    other countries in response to the transfer of nuclear and missile 
    technology by the People's Republic of China to the Islamic 
    Republic of Pakistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
SEC. 1307. UNITED STATES-PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA JOINT DEFENSE 
CONVERSION COMMISSION.
    None of the funds appropriated or otherwise available for the 
Department of Defense for fiscal year 1997 or any prior fiscal year may 
be obligated or expended for any activity associated with the United 
States-People's Republic of China JointDefense Conversion Commission 
until 15 days after the date on which the first semiannual report 
required by section 1343 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106; 110 Stat. 487) is received by 
Congress.

SEC. 1308. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING EXPORT CONTROLS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Export controls are a part of a comprehensive response to 
    national security threats. The export of a United States commodity 
    or technology should be restricted in cases in which the export of 
    the commodity or technology would increase the threat to the 
    national security of the United States or would be contrary to the 
    nonproliferation goals or foreign policy interests of the United 
    States.
        (2) The export of certain commodities and technology may 
    adversely affect the national security and foreign policy of the 
    United States by making a significant contribution to the military 
    potential of countries or by enhancing the capability of countries 
    to design, develop, test, produce, stockpile, or use weapons of 
    mass destruction and missile delivery systems, and other 
    significant military capabilities. Therefore, the administration of 
    export controls should emphasize the control of these exports.
        (3) The acquisition of sensitive commodities and technologies 
    by those countries and end users whose actions or policies run 
    counter to United States national security or foreign policy 
    interests may enhance the military capabilities of those countries, 
    particularly their ability to design, develop, test, produce, 
    stockpile, use, and deliver nuclear, chemical, and biological 
    weapons and missile delivery systems, and other significant 
    military capabilities. This enhancement threatens the security of 
    the United States and its allies. The availability to countries and 
    end users of items that contribute to military capabilities or the 
    proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is a fundamental 
    concern of the United States and should be eliminated through 
    deterrence, negotiations, and other appropriate means whenever 
    possible.
        (4) The national security of the United States depends not only 
    on wise foreign policies and a strong defense, but also a vibrant 
    national economy. To be truly effective, export controls should be 
    applied uniformly by all suppliers.
        (5) On November 8, 1995, the President continued the national 
    emergency declared in Executive Order No. 12938 of November 14, 
    1994, ``with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
    national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States 
    posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical 
    weapons and the means of delivering such weapons''.
        (6) A successor regime to COCOM (the Coordinating Committee for 
    Multilateral Export Controls) has not been established. Currently, 
    each nation is determining independently which dual-use military 
    items, if any, will be controlled for export.
        (7) The United States should play a leading role in promoting 
    transparency and responsibility with regard to the transfers of 
    sensitive dual-use goods and technologies.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) establishing an international export control regime, 
    empowered to control exports of dual-use technology, is critically 
    important and should be a top priority for the United States; and
        (2) the United States should strongly encourage its allies and 
    other friendly countries to--
            (A) adopt export controls that are the same or similar to 
        the export controls imposed by the United States on items on 
        the Commerce Control List;
            (B) strengthen enforcement of their export controls; and
            (C) explore the use of unilateral export controls where the 
        possibility exists that an export could contribute to the 
        enhancement of military capabilities orproliferation described 
in paragraphs (3) and (5) of subsection (a).

SEC. 1309. COUNTERPROLIFERATION PROGRAM REVIEW COMMITTEE.

    (a) Composition of the Committee.--Subsection (a) of section 1605

            (A) by striking out ``Report Required.--(1) Not later than 
        May 1, 1995 and May 1, 1996, the Secretary'' and inserting in 
        lieu thereof ``Annual Report Required.--Not later than May 1 of 
        each year, the Secretary''; and
            (B) by striking out paragraph (2); and
        (2) by adding at the end the following new subsections:
    ``(d) Review Committee Charter Defined.--For purposes of this 
section, the term `Review Committee charter' means section 1605 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (22 U.S.C. 2751

SEC. 1310. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING ASSISTING OTHER COUNTRIES TO 
IMPROVE SECURITY OF FISSILE MATERIAL.
    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) With the end of the Cold War, the world is faced with the 
    need to manage the dismantling of vast numbers of nuclear weapons 
    and the disposition of the fissile materials that they contain.
        (2) If recently agreed reductions in nuclear weapons are fully 
    implemented, tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, containing a 
    hundred tons or more of plutonium and many hundreds of tons of 
    highly enriched uranium, will no longer be needed for military 
    purposes.
        (3) Plutonium and highly enriched uranium are the essential 
    ingredients of nuclear weapons.
        (4) Limits on access to plutonium and highly enriched uranium 
    are the primary technical barrier to acquiring nuclear weapons 
    capability in the world today.
        (5) Several kilograms of plutonium, or several times that 
    amount of highly enriched uranium, are sufficient to make a nuclear 
    weapon.
        (6) Plutonium and highly enriched uranium will continue to pose 
    a potential threat for as long as they exist.
        (7) Action is required to secure and account for plutonium and 
    highly enriched uranium.
        (8) It is in the national interest of the United States to--
            (A) minimize the risk that fissile materials could be 
        obtained by unauthorized parties;
            (B) minimize the risk that fissile materials could be 
        reintroduced into the arsenals from which they came, halting or 
        reversing the arms reduction process; and
            (C) strengthen the national and international control 
        mechanisms and incentives designed to ensure continued arms 
        reductions and prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings contained in 
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that the United States has 
a national security interest in assisting other countries to improve 
the security of their stocks of fissile material.
SEC. 1311. REVIEW BY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE OF NATIONAL 
INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATE 95-19.
    (a) Review.--The Director of Central Intelligence shall conduct a

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Defense Against Weapons of Mass 
Destruction Act of 1996''.

SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Weapons of mass destruction and related materials and 
    technologies are increasingly available from worldwide sources. 
    Technical information relating to such weapons is readily available 
    on the Internet, and raw materials for chemical, biological, and 
    radiological weapons are widely available for legitimate commercial 
    purposes.
        (2) The former Soviet Union produced and maintained a vast 
    array of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons of mass 
    destruction.
        (3) Many of the states of the former Soviet Union retain the 
    facilities, materials, and technologies capable of producing 
    additional quantities of weapons of mass destruction.
        (4) The disintegration of the former Soviet Union was 
    accompanied by disruptions of command and control systems, 
    deficiencies in accountability for weapons, weapons-related 
    materials and technologies, economic hardships, and significant 
    gaps in border control among the states of the former Soviet Union. 
    The problems of organized crime and corruption in the states of the 
    former Soviet Union increase the potential for proliferation of 
    nuclear, radiological, biological, and chemical weapons and related 
    materials.
        (5) The conditions described in paragraph (4) have 
    substantially increased the ability of potentially hostile nations, 
    terrorist groups, and individuals to acquire weapons of mass 
    destruction and related materials and technologies from within the 
    states of the former Soviet Union and from unemployed scientists 
    who worked on those programs.
        (6) As a result of such conditions, the capability of 
    potentially hostile nations and terrorist groups to acquire 
    nuclear, radiological, biological, and chemical weapons is greater 
    than at any time in history.
        (7) The President has identified North Korea, Iraq, Iran, and 
    Libya as hostile states which already possess some weapons of mass 
    destruction and are developing others.
        (8) The acquisition or the development and use of weapons of 
    mass destruction is well within the capability of many extremist 
    and terrorist movements, acting independently or as proxies for 
    foreign states.
        (9) Foreign states can transfer weapons to or otherwise aid 
    extremist and terrorist movements indirectly and with plausible 
    deniability.
        (10) Terrorist groups have already conducted chemical attacks 
    against civilian targets in the United States and Japan, and a 
    radiological attack in Russia.
        (11) The potential for the national security of the United 
    States to be threatened by nuclear, radiological, chemical, or 
    biological terrorism must be taken seriously.
        (12) There is a significant and growing threat of attack by 
    weapons of mass destruction on targets that are not military 
    targets in the usual sense of the term.
        (13) Concomitantly, the threat posed to the citizens of the 
    United States by nuclear, radiological, biological, and chemical 
    weapons delivered by unconventional means is significant and 
    growing.
        (14) Mass terror may result from terrorist incidents involving 
    nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical materials.
        (15) Facilities required for production of radiological, 
    biological, and chemical weapons are much smaller and harder to 
    detect than nuclear weapons facilities, and biological and chemical 
    weapons can be deployed by alternative delivery means other than 
    long-range ballistic missiles.
        (16) Covert or unconventional means of delivery of nuclear, 
    radiological, biological, and chemical weapons include cargo ships, 
    passenger aircraft, commercial and private vehicles and vessels, 
    and commercial cargo shipments routed through multiple 
    destinations.
        (17) Traditional arms control efforts assume large state 
    efforts with detectable manufacturing programs and weapons 
    production programs, but are ineffective in monitoring and 
    controlling smaller, though potentially more dangerous, 
    unconventional proliferation efforts.
        (18) Conventional counterproliferation efforts would do little 
    to detect or prevent the rapid development of a capability to 
    suddenly manufacture several hundred chemical or biological weapons 
    with nothing but commercial supplies and equipment.
        (19) The United States lacks adequate planning and 
    countermeasures to address the threat of nuclear, radiological, 
    biological, and chemical terrorism.
        (20) The Department of Energy has established a Nuclear 
    Emergency Response Team which is available in case of nuclear or 
    radiological emergencies, but no comparable units exist to deal 
    with emergencies involving biological or chemical weapons or 
    related materials.
        (21) State and local emergency response personnel are not 
    adequately prepared or trained for incidents involving nuclear, 
    radiological, biological, or chemical materials.
        (22) Exercises of the Federal, State, and local response to 
    nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical terrorism have 
    revealed serious deficiencies in preparedness and severe problems 
    of coordination.
        (23) The development of, and allocation of responsibilities 
    for, effective countermeasures to nuclear, radiological, 
    biological, or chemical terrorism in the United States requires 
    well-coordinated participation of many Federal agencies, and 
    careful planning by the Federal Government and State and local 
    governments.
        (24) Training and exercises can significantly improve the 
    preparedness of State and local emergency response personnel for 
    emergencies involving nuclear, radiological, biological, or 
    chemical weapons or related materials.
        (25) Sharing of the expertise and capabilities of the 
    Department of Defense, which traditionally has provided assistance 
    to Federal, State, and local officials in neutralizing, dis- 
    mantling, and disposing of explosive ordnance, as well as 
    radiological, biological, and chemical materials, can be a vital 
    contribution to the development and deployment of countermeasures 
    against nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons of mass 
    destruction.
        (26) The United States lacks effective policy coordination 
    regarding the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass 
    destruction.

EMPLOYEES DUE TO PRIVATIZATION AT CLOSED MILITARY INSTALLATIONS.
    (a) Pilot Programs Authorized.--(1) The Secretary of Defense, after 
consultation with the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, 
may establish one or more pilot programs under which Federal retirement 
benefits are provided in accordance with this section to persons who 
convert from Federal employment to employment by a Department of 
Defense contractor in connection with the privatization of the 
performance of functions at selected military installations being 
closed under the base closure and realignment process.
    (2) The Secretary of Defense shall select the military 
installations to be covered by a pilot program under this section.
    (b) Eligible Converted Employees.--(1) A person is a converted 
employee eligible for Federal retirement benefits under this section if 
the person is a former employee of the Department of Defense (other 
than a temporary employee) who--
        (A) while employed by the Department of Defense at a military 
    installation selected to participate in a pilot program, performed 
    a function that was recommended, in a report of the Defense Base 
    Closure and Realignment Commission submitted to the President under 
    the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (title XXIX of 
    Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note), to be privatized for 
    performance by a defense contractor at the same installation or in 
    the vicinity of the installation;
        (B) while so employed, separated from Federal service after 
    being notified that the employee would be separated in a reduction 
    in force resulting from such privatization;
        (C) at the time separated from Federal service, was covered 
    under the Civil Service Retirement System, but was not eligible for 
    an immediate annuity under the Civil Service Retirement System;

    8342 of title 5, United States Code;
        (E) within 60 days following such separation, is employed by 
    the defense contractor selected to privatize the function to 
    perform substantially the same function performed by the person 
    before the separation; and
        (F) remains employed by the defense contractor (or a successor 
    defense contractor) or subcontractor of the defense contractor (or 
    successor defense contractor) until attaining early deferred 
    retirement age (unless the employment is sooner involuntarily 
    terminated for reasons other than performance or conduct of the 
    employee).
    (2) A person who, under paragraph (1), would otherwise be eligible 
for an early deferred annuity under this section shall not be eligible 
for such benefits if the person received separation pay or severance 
pay due to a separation described in subparagraph (B) of that paragraph 
unless the person repays the full amount of such pay with interest 
(computed at a rate determined appropriate by the Director of the 
Office of Personnel Management) to the Department of Defense before 
attaining early deferred retirement age.
    (c) Retirement Benefits of Converted Employees.--In the case of a 
converted employee covered by a pilot program, payment of a deferred 
annuity for which the converted employee is eligible under section 
8338(a) of title 5, United States Code, shall commence on the first day 
of the first month that begins after the date on which the converted 
employee attains early deferred retirement age, notwithstanding the age 
requirement under that section. If the employment of a converted 
employee is involuntarily terminated by the defense contractor or 
subcontractor as described in subsection (b)(1)(F) and the converted 
employee resumes Federal service before the converted employee attains 
early deferred retirement age, the converted employee shall once again 
be covered under the Civil Service Retirement System instead of the 
pilot program.
    (d) Computation of Average Pay.--(1)(A) This paragraph applies to a 
converted employee who was employed in a position classified under the 
General Schedule immediately before the employee's covered separation 
from Federal service.
    (B) Subject to subparagraph (C), for purposes of computing the 
deferred annuity for a converted employee referred to in subparagraph 
(A), the average pay of the converted employee, computed under section 
8331(4) of title 5, United States Code, as of the date of the 
employee's covered separation from Federal service, shall be adjusted 
at the same time and by the same percentage that rates of basic pay are 
increased under section 5303 of such title during the period beginning 
on that date and ending on the date on which the converted employee 
attains early deferred retirement age.
    (C) The average pay of a converted employee, as adjusted under 
subparagraph (B), may not exceed the amount to which an annuity of the 
converted employee could be increased under section 8340 of title 5, 
United States Code, in accordance with the limitation in subsection 
(g)(1) of such section (relating to maximum pay, final pay, or average 
pay).
    (2)(A) This paragraph applies to a converted employee who was a 
prevailing rate employee (as defined under section5342(2) of title 5, 
United States Code) immediately before the employee's covered 
separation from Federal service.
    (B) For purposes of computing the deferred annuity for a converted 
employee referred to in subparagraph (A), the average pay of the 
converted employee, computed under section 8331(4) of title 5, United 
States Code, as of the date of the employee's covered separation from 
Federal service, shall be adjusted at the same time and by the same 
percentage that pay rates for positions that are in the same area as, 
and are comparable to, the last position the converted employee held as 
a prevailing rate employee, are increased under section 5343(a) of such 
title during the period beginning on that date and ending on the date 
on which the converted employee attains early deferred retirement age.
    (e) Payment of Unfunded Liability.--(1) The military department 
concerned shall be liable for that portion of any estimated increase in 
the unfunded liability of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability 
Fund established under section 8348 of title 5, United States Code, 
which is attributable to any benefits payable from such Fund to a 
converted employee, and any survivor of a converted employee, when the 
increase results from--
        (A) an increase in the average pay of the converted employee 
    under subsection (d) upon which such benefits are computed; and
        (B) the commencement of an early deferred annuity in accordance 
    with this section before the attainment of 62 years of age by the 
    converted employee.
    (2) The estimated increase in the unfunded liability for each 
department referred to in paragraph (1) shall be determined by the 
Director of the Office of Personnel Management. In making the 
determination, the Director shall consider any savings to the Fund as a 
result of a pilot program established under this section. The Secretary 
of the military department concerned shall pay the amount so determined 
to the Director in 10 equal annual installments with interest computed 
at the rate used in the most recent valuation of the Civil Service 
Retirement System, with the first payment thereof due at the end of the 
fiscal year in which an increase in average pay under subsection (d) 
becomes effective.
    (f) Contractor Service Not Creditable.--Service performed by a 
converted employee for a defense contractor after the employee's 
covered separation from Federal service is not creditable service for 
purposes of subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5, United States 
Code.
    (g) Receipt of Benefits While Employed by a Defense Contractor.--A 
converted employee may commence receipt of an early deferred annuity in 
accordance with this section while continuing to work for a defense 
contractor.
    (h) Lump-Sum Credit Payment.--If a converted employee dies before 
attaining early deferred retirement age, such employee shall be treated 
as a former employee who dies not retired for purposes of payment of 
the lump-sum credit under section 8342(d) of title 5, United States 
Code.
    (i) Continued Federal Health Benefits Coverage.--Notwithstanding 
section 8905a(e)(1)(A) of title 5, United States Code, the continued 
coverage of a converted employee for health benefits under chapter 89 
of such title by reason of the application of section 8905a of such 
title to such employee shall terminate 90 days after the date of the 
employee's covered separation from Federal employment. For the purposes 
of the preceding sentence, a person who, except for subsection (b)(2), 
would be a converted employee shall be considered a converted employee.
    (j) Report by General Accounting Office.--The Comptroller General 
shall conduct a study of each pilot program, if any, established under 
this section and submit a report on the pilot program to Congress not 
later than two years after the date on which the program is 
established. The report shall contain the following:
        (1) A review and evaluation of the program, including--
            (A) an evaluation of the success of the privatization 
        outcomes of the program;
            (B) a comparison and evaluation of such privatization 
        outcomes with the privatization outcomes with respect to 
        facilities at other military installations closed or realigned 
        under the base closure laws;
            (C) an evaluation of the impact of the program on the 
        Federal workforce and whether the program results in the 
        maintenance of a skilled workforce for defense contractors at 
        an acceptable cost to the military department concerned; and
            (D) an assessment of the extent to which the program is a 
        cost-effective means of facilitating privatization of the 
        performance of Federal activities.
        (2) Recommendations relating to the expansion of the program to 
    other installations and employees.
        (3) Any other recommendation relating to the program.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The United States is committed to proceeding with a robust, 
    science-based stockpile stewardship program with respect to 
    production of nuclear weapons, and to maintaining nuclear weapons 
    production capabilities and capacities, that are adequate--
            (A) to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of 
        the United States nuclear arsenal; and
            (B) to meet such changing national security requirements as 
        may result from international developments or technical 
        problems with nuclear warheads.
        (2) The United States is committed to reestablishing and 
    maintaining production facilities for nuclear weapons components at 
    levels that are sufficient--
            (A) to satisfy requirements for the safety, reliability, 
        and performance of United States nuclear weapons; and
            (B) to demonstrate and sustain production capabilities and 
        capacities.
        (3) The United States is committed to maintaining the nuclear 
    weapons laboratories and protecting core nuclear weapons 
    competencies.
        (4) The United States is committed to ensuring rapid access to 
    a new production source of tritium within the next decade, as it 
    currently has no meaningful capability to produce tritium, a 
    component that is essential to the performance of modern nuclear 
    weapons.
        (5) The United States reserves the right, consistent with 
    United States law, to resume underground nuclear testing to 
    maintain confidence in the United States stockpile of nuclear 
    weapons if warhead design flaws or aging of nuclear weapons result 
    in problems that a robust stockpile stewardship program cannot 
    solve.
        (6) The United States is committed to funding the Nevada Test 
    Site at a level that maintains the ability of the United States to 
    resume underground nuclear testing within one year after a national 
    decision to do so is made.
        (7) The United States reserves the right to invoke the supreme 
    national interest of the United States and withdraw from any future 
    arms control agreement to limit underground nuclear testing.
    (b) Sense of Congress Regarding Presidential Con- sultation With 
Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the President should 
consult closely with Congress regarding United States policy and 
practices to ensure confidence in the safety, reliability, and 
performance of the nuclear stockpile of the United States.
    (c) Sense of Congress Regarding Notification and Consultation.--It 
is the sense of Congress that, upon a determination by the President 
that a problem with the safety, reliability, or performance of the 
nuclear stockpile has occurred and that the problem cannot be corrected 
within the stockpile stewardship program, the President shall--
        (1) immediately notify Congress of the problem; and
        (2) submit to Congress in a timely manner a plan for corrective 
    action with respect to the problem, including--
            (A) a technical description of the activities required 
        under the plan; and
            (B) if underground testing of nuclear weapons would assist 
        in such corrective action, an assessment of the advisability of 
        withdrawing from any treaty that prohibits underground testing 
        of nuclear weapons.

receipts deposited into the Panama Canal Commission Dissolution Fund 
under section 1305) and all other receipts of the Commission. Except as 
provided in section 1303, no funds may be obligated or expended by the 
Commission inany fiscal year unless such obligation or expenditure has 
been specifically authorized by law.
    ``(2) No funds may be authorized for the use of the Commission, or 
obligated or expended by the Commission in any fiscal year; in excess 
of--
        ``(A) the amount of revenues deposited in the Panama Canal 
    Revolving Fund and the Panama Canal Commission Dissolution Fund

resulting from the implementation of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977 
and related agreements should be kept to the absolute minimum level. To 
this end, the Congress declares appropriated costs of implementation to 
be borne by the taxpayers over the life of such Treaty should be kept 
to a level no greater than the March 1979 estimate of those costs 
($870,700,000) presented to the Congress by the executive branch during 
consideration of this Act by the Congress, less personnel retirement 
costs of $205,000,000, which were subtracted and charged to tolls, 
therefore resulting in net taxpayer cost of approximately $665,700,000, 
plus appropriate adjustments for inflation.
    ``(2) It is further the sense of the Congress that the actual costs 
of implementation be consistent with the obligations of the United 
States to operate the Panama Canal safely and efficiently and keep it 
secure.''.
