SEC. 247. NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.

    (a) 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.
    (b) Program Required.--(1) Subtitle C of title 10, United States 
Code, is amended by adding after chapter 663 the following new chapter:

SEC. 516. 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. During Operation 
Joint Endeavor, a number of Reservists who are currently living and 
working abroad and who were involuntarily ordered to active duty in 
support of that operation did in fact face reemployment problems with 
their civilian employers. 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.

for health care that the private facility or provider provides to 
enrollees of a designated provider.

facility or health care provider.

a designated provider shall be full risk capitation. The capitation 
payments shall be negotiated and agreed upon by the Secretary and the 
designated provider. In addition to such other factors as the parties 
may agree to apply, the capitation payments shall be based on the 
utilization experience of enrollees and competitive market rates for 
equivalent health care services for a comparable population to such 
enrollees in the area in which the designated provider is located.
    (b) Limitation on Total Payments.--Total capitation payments to a 
designated provider shall not exceed an amount equal to the cost that

    (c) Establishment of Payment Rates on Annual Basis.--The Secretary 
and a designated provider shall establish capitation payments on an 
annual basis, subject to periodic review for actuarial soundness and to 
adjustment for any adverse or favorable selection reasonably 
anticipated to result from the design of the program.

report under subsection (a) the Secretary's views on whether current 
limitations referred to in subsection (a)--
            (1) permit the Secretaries of the military departments, in 
        view of increased requirements for assignment of general and 
        flag officers in positions external to their organic services,

            (B) revision of active duty ceilings so as to prevent an 
        increase in the numbers of active general and flag officers

    (3) If the Secretary determines under paragraph (1) that active and 
reserve general officers on active duty should continue to be managed 
under a common ceiling, the Secretary shall make recommendations for

                planning exercises.

recommendations concerning the desirability of statutory provisions 
to--
            (1) establish specific guidelines for when it is 
        appropriate (or inappropriate) to retain on active duty such

        public land laws.
    (b) Program of Decontamination.--
            (1) In general.--Throughout the duration of the withdrawal 
        and reservation made by this subtitle, the Secretary of the

        case of lands subject to a relinquishment notice under section 
        2908(c) that are contaminated, the Secretary of the Army shall 
        decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are 
        appropriated for such purpose if the Secretary of the Interior, 
        in consultation with the Secretary of the Army, determines 
        that--
                    (A) decontamination of the lands is practicable and 
                economically feasible, taking into consideration the 
                potential future use and value of the land; and
                    (B) upon decontamination, the land could be opened 
                to the operation of some or all of the public land 
                laws, including the mining laws.
    (c) Authority of Secretary of the Interior To Refuse Contaminated 
Lands.--The Secretary of the Interior shall not be required to accept

Secretary of the Interior conclude that--
            (1) decontamination of any or all of the lands proposed for 
        relinquishment is not practicable or economically feasible;
            (2) the lands cannot be decontaminated sufficiently to 
        allow them to be opened to the operation of the public land 
        laws; or
            (3) insufficient funds are appropriated for the purpose of 
        decontaminating the lands.
    (d) Effect of Continued Contamination.--If the Secretary of the 
Interior declines under subsection (c) to accept jurisdiction of lands 
proposed for relinquishment or if the Secretary of the Interior 
determines under subsection (a)(2) that some of the lands withdrawn by

            (2) the land cannot be decontaminated or remediated 
        sufficiently to be opened to operation of some or all of the

expiration of the withdrawal made under this subtitle, the Secretary of 
the Interior determines that some of the lands withdrawn under this 
subtitle are contaminated to an extent which prevents opening such 
contaminated lands to operation of the public land laws--
            (1) the Secretary of the Navy shall take appropriate steps 
        to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands and

jurisdiction over the lands.

law, upon deciding that it is in the public interest to accept 
jurisdiction over lands specified in a relinquishment notice, the 
Secretary of the Interior may revoke the withdrawal and reservation 
made under this subtitle as it applies to such lands. If the decision

Commission in any 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 Dissolution Fund during

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.''.
