15 WORLD WAR II MUSEUM. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes 

16 the following findings: 

17 (1) The National D-Day Museum, operated in 

18 New Orleans, Louisiana by an educational founda19 tion, has been established with the vision ‘‘to celebrate 

20 the American Spirit’’. 

21 (2) The National D-Day Museum is the only 

22 museum in the United States that exists for the exclu23 sive purpose of interpreting the American experience 

24 during the World War II years (1939–1945) on both 

25 the battlefront and the home front and, in doing so, 
225

HR 2658 PP 

1 covers all of the branches of the Armed Forces and the 

2 Merchant Marine. 

3 (3) The National D-Day Museum was founded 

4 by the preeminent American historian, Stephen E. 

5 Ambrose, as a result of a conversation with President 

6 Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1963, when the President 

7 and former Supreme Commander, Allied Expedi8 tionary Forces in Europe, credited Andrew Jackson 

9 Higgins, the chief executive officer of Higgins Indus10 tries in New Orleans, as the ‘‘man who won the war 

11 for us’’ because the 12,000 landing craft designed by 

12 Higgins Industries made possible all of the amphib13 ious invasions of World War II and carried American 

14 soldiers into every theatre of the war. 

15 (4) The National D-Day Museum, since its 

16 grand opening on June 6, 2000, the 56th anniversary 

17 of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, has attracted 

18 nearly 1,000,000 visitors from around the world, 85 

19 percent of whom have been Americans from across the 

20 country. 

21 (5) American World War II veterans, called the 

22 ‘‘greatest generation’’ of the Nation, are dying at the 

23 rapid rate of more than 1,200 veterans each day, cre24 ating an urgent need to preserve the stories, artifacts, 

25 and heroic achievements of that generation. 
226

HR 2658 PP 

1 (6) The United States has a need to preserve for2 ever the knowledge and history of the Nation’s most 

3 decisive achievement in the 20th century and to por4 tray that history to citizens, visitors, and school chil5 dren for centuries to come. 

6 (7) Congress, recognizing the need to preserve 

7 this knowledge and history, appropriated funds in 

8 1992 to authorize the design and construction of The 

9 National D-Day Museum in New Orleans to com10 memorate the epic 1944 Normandy invasion, and 

11 subsequently appropriated additional funds in 1998, 

12 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 to help expand the exhib13 its in the museum to include the D-Day invasions in 

14 the Pacific Theatre of Operations and the other cam15 paigns of World War II. 

16 (8) The State of Louisiana and thousands of do17 nors and foundations across the country have contrib18 uted millions of dollars to help build this national in19 stitution. 

20 (9) The Board of Trustees of The National D21 Day Museum is national in scope and diverse in its 

22 makeup. 

23 (10) The World War II Memorial now under 

24 construction on the National Mall in Washington, the 

25 District of Columbia, will always be the memorial in 
227

HR 2658 PP 

1 our Nation where people come to remember America’s 

2 sacrifices in World War II, while The National D3 Day Museum will always be the museum of the Amer4 ican experience in the World War II years (1939–

5 1945), where people come to learn about Americans’ 

6 experiences during that critical period, as well as a 

7 place where the history of our Nation’s monumental 

8 struggle against worldwide aggression by would-be op9 pressors is preserved so that future generations can 

10 understand the role the United States played in the 

11 preservation and advancement of democracy and free12 dom in the middle of the 20th century. 

13 (11) The National D-Day Museum seeks to edu14 cate a diverse group of audiences through its collec15 tion of artifacts, photographs, letters, documents, and 

16 first-hand personal accounts of the participants in the 

17 war and on the home front during one of history’s 

18 darkest hours. 

19 (12) The National D-Day Museum is devoted to 

20 the combat experience of United States citizen soldiers 

21 in all of the theatres of World War II and to the he22 roic efforts of the men and women on the home front 

23 who worked tirelessly to support the troops and the 

24 war effort. 
228

HR 2658 PP 

1 (13) The National D-Day Museum continues to 

2 add to and maintain one of the largest personal his3 tory collections in the United States of the men and 

4 women who fought in World War II and who served 

5 on the home front. 

6 (14) No other museum describes as well the vol7 unteer spirit that arose throughout the United States 

8 and united the country during the World War II 

9 years. 

10 (15) The National D-Day Museum is engaged in 

11 a 250,000 square foot expansion to include the Center 

12 for the Study of the American Spirit, an advanced 

13 format theatre, and a new United States pavilion. 

14 (16) The planned ‘‘We’re All in this Together’’ 

15 exhibit will describe the role every State, common16 wealth, and territory played in World War II, and 

17 the computer database and software of The National 

18 D-Day Museum’s educational program will be made 

19 available to the teachers and school children of every 

20 State, commonwealth, and territory. 

21 (17) The National D-Day Museum is an official 

22 Smithsonian affiliate institution with a formal agree23 ment to borrow Smithsonian artifacts for future exhi24 bitions. 
229

HR 2658 PP 

1 (18) Le Memorial de Caen in Normandy, France 

2 has formally recognized The National D-Day Museum 

3 as its official partner in a Patriotic Alliance signed 

4 on October 16, 2002, by both museums. 

5 (19) The official Battle of the Bulge museums in 

6 Luxembourg and the American Battlefield Monuments 

7 Commission are already collaborating with The Na8 tional D-Day Museum on World War II exhibitions. 

9 (20) For all of these reasons, it is appropriate to 

10 designate The National D-Day Museum as ‘‘Amer11 ica’s National World War II Museum’’. 

12 (b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this section are, 

13 through the designation of The National D-Day Museum 

14 as ‘‘America’s National World War II Museum’’, to express 

15 the United States Government’s support for—

16 (1) the continuing preservation, maintenance, 

17 and interpretation of the artifacts, documents, im18 ages, and history collected by the museum; 

19 (2) the education of the American people as to 

20 the American experience in combat and on the home 

21 front during the World War II years, including the 

22 conduct of educational outreach programs for teachers 

23 and students throughout the United States; 

24 (3) the operation of a premier facility for the 

25 public display of artifacts, photographs, letters, docu-
230

2 years (1939–1945); 

3 (4) the further expansion of the current Euro4 pean and Pacific campaign exhibits in the museum, 

5 including the Center for the Study of the American 

6 Spirit for education; and 

7 (5) ensuring the understanding by all future gen8 erations of the magnitude of the American contribu9 tion to the Allied victory in World War II, the sac10 rifices made to preserve freedom and democracy, and 

11 the benefits of peace for all future generations in the 

12 21st century and beyond. 

13 (c) DESIGNATION OF ‘‘AMERICA’S NATIONAL WORLD

1 SEC. 8142. IN RECOGNITION OF THE NATIONAL

2 GUARD AND RESERVE’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR NA3 TIONAL SECURITY AND EXPRESSING STRONG SUPPORT FOR

4 THE SENATE’S PREVIOUS BIPARTISAN VOTE TO PROVIDE

5 THESE FORCES ACCESS TO TRICARE. (a) FINDINGS.—

6 The Senate makes the following findings: 

7 (1) Forces in the United States National Guard 

8 and Reserve have made and continue to make essen9 tial and effective contributions to Operation Iraqi 

10 Freedom and other ongoing military operations. 

11 (2) More than 200,000 Reserve personnel from 

12 the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast 

13 Guard are currently serving their Nation on active 

14 status. 

15 (3) Our dependence on the National Guard and 

16 Reserve has increased dramatically over the course of 

17 the past decade. Annual duty days have grown from 

18 about 1 million in the late 1980s to more than 12 

19 million in every year since 1996. 

20 (4) While our dependence on the Reserves has in21 creased in the post-Cold War era, their basic pay and 

22 benefits structure has remained largely unchanged. 

23 (5) Offering TRICARE to reservists for an af24 fordable monthly premium enhances our national se25 curity by improving their medical readiness when 
241

HR 2658 PP 

1 called to duty, streamlining and accelerating the mo2 bilization process, and enhancing our military’s abil3 ity to recruit and retain qualified personnel to reserve 

4 duty. 

5 (6) The Congressional Budget Office, the official, 

6 nonpartisan scorekeeper of all congressional legisla7 tion, has estimated the cost of this proposal at just 

8 over one-tenth of one percent of the Administration’s 

9 fiscal year 2004 defense budget request. 

10 (7) On May 20, 2003, a strong majority of Sen11 ate Democrats and Republicans joined together and 

12 voted 85–10 for an amendment to the fiscal year 2004 

13 Defense authorization bill to provide reserve personnel 

14 and their families access to TRICARE regardless of 

15 their current deployment status. 

16 (8) The Appropriations Committee indicated in 

17 its report accompanying the fiscal year 2004 Defense 

18 appropriations bill that it supports this proposal. 

19 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen20 ate that—

21 (1) the National Guard and Reserve play a crit22 ical and increasingly demanding role in protecting 

23 our national security; and 

24 (2) the Senate supports the Appropriations Com25 mittee position as articulated in the report accom-

4 SEC. 8143. (a) The Secretary of Defense—

5 (1) shall review—

6 (A) all contractual offset arrangements to 

7 which the policy established under section 2532 

8 of title 10, United States Code, applies that are 

9 in effect on the date of the enactment of this Act; 

10 (B) any memoranda of understanding and 

11 related agreements to which the limitation in 

12 section 2531(c) of such title applies that have 

13 been entered into with a country with respect to 

14 which such contractual offset arrangements have 

15 been entered into and are in effect on such date; 

16 and 

17 (C) any waivers granted with respect to a 

18 foreign country under section 2534(d)(3) of title 

19 10, United States Code, that are in effect on such 

20 date; and 

21 (2) shall determine the effects of the use of such 

22 arrangements, memoranda of understanding, and 

23 agreements on the effectiveness of buy American re24 quirements provided in law. 
243

HR 2658 PP 

1 (b) The Secretary shall submit a report on the results 

2 of the review under subsection (a) to Congress not later than 

3 March 1, 2005. The report shall include a discussion of each 

4 of the following: 

5 (1) The effects of the contractual offset arrange6 ments on specific subsectors of the industrial base of 

7 the United States and what actions have been taken 

8 to prevent or ameliorate any serious adverse effects on 

9 such subsectors. 

10 (2) The extent, if any, to which the contractual 

11 offset arrangements and memoranda of understanding 

12 and related agreements have provided for technology 

13 transfer that would significantly and adversely affect 

14 the defense industrial base of the United States and 

15 would result in substantial financial loss to a United 

16 States firm. 

17 (3) The extent to which the use of such contrac18 tual offset arrangements is consistent with—

19 (A) the limitation in section 2531(c) of title 

20 10, United States Code, that prohibits implemen21 tation of a memorandum of understanding and 

22 related agreements if the President, taking into 

23 consideration the results of the interagency re24 view, determines that such memorandum of un25 derstanding or related agreement has or is likely 
244

HR 2658 PP 

1 to have a significant adverse effect on United 

2 States industry that outweighs the benefits of en3 tering into or implementing such memorandum 

4 or agreement; and 

5 (B) the requirements under section 2534(d) 

6 of such title that—

7 (i) a waiver granted under such section 

8 not impede cooperative programs entered 

9 into between the Department of Defense and 

10 a foreign country and not impede the recip11 rocal procurement of defense items that is 

12 entered into in accordance with section 

13 2531 of such title; and 

14 (ii) the country with respect to which 

15 the waiver is granted not discriminate 

16 against defense items produced in the 

17 United States to a greater degree than the 

18 United States discriminates against defense 

19 items produced in that country. 

20 (c) The Secretary—

21 (1) shall submit to the President any rec22 ommendations regarding the use or administration of 

23 contractual offset arrangements and memoranda of 

24 understanding and related agreements referred to in 

25 subsection (a) that the Secretary considers appro-

2 requirements in law; and 

3 (2) may modify memoranda of understanding or 

4 related agreements entered into under section 2531 of 

5 title 10, United States Code, or take other action with 

6 regard to such memoranda or related agreements, as 

7 the Secretary considers appropriate to strengthen the 

8 administration buy American requirements in law in 

9 the case of procurements covered by such memoranda 

10 or related agreements. 

11 SEC. 8144. It is the sense of the Senate that—

12 (1) any request for funds for a fiscal year for an 

13 ongoing overseas military operation, including oper14 ations in Afghanistan and Iraq, should be included in 

15 the annual budget of the President for such fiscal year 

16 as submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of 

17 title 31, United States Code; and

16 SEC. 8165. (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the fol17 lowing findings: 

18 (1) If a terrorist group were to acquire the nec19 essary fissile material for a nuclear explosive device, 

20 it would not be difficult for the group to construct 

21 such a device, the explosion of which could kill and 

22 injure thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of 

23 people and destroy a large area of a city. 

24 (2) If a terrorist group were to acquire a com25 plete nuclear weapon from a nation which has con-
252

HR 2658 PP 

1 structed nuclear weapons, it is likely that the group 

2 would be able to detonate the device with similar re3 sults. 

4 (3) A nation supplying either complete nuclear 

5 weapons or special nuclear material to terrorists 

6 might believe that it could escape retaliation by the 

7 United States, as the United States would not be able 

8 to determine the origin of either a weapon or its 

9 fissile material. 

10 (4) It is possible, however, to determine the coun11 try of origin of fissile material after a nuclear explo12 sion, provided that samples of the radioactive debris 

13 from the explosion are collected promptly and ana14 lyzed in appropriate laboratories. 

15 (5) If radioactive debris is collected soon enough 

16 after a nuclear explosion, it is also possible to deter17 mine the characteristics of the nuclear explosive device 

18 involved, which information can assist in locating 

19 and dismantling other nuclear devices that may 

20 threaten the United States. 

21 (6) If countries that might contemplate sup22 plying nuclear weapons or fissile material to terror23 ists know that their assistance can be traced, they are 

24 much less likely to allow terrorists access to either 

25 weapons or material. 
253

HR 2658 PP 

1 (7) It is in the interest of the United States to 

2 acquire a capability to collect promptly the debris 

3 from a nuclear explosion that might occur in any 

4 part of the Nation. 

5 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE ON NUCLEAR DEBRIS COL6 LECTION AND ANALYSIS CAPABILITY.—It is the sense of the 

7 Senate that—

8 (1) the Secretary of Defense should develop and 

9 deploy a nuclear debris collection and analysis capa10 bility sufficient to enable characterization of any nu11 clear device that might be exploded in the United 

12 States; 

13 (2) the capability should incorporate airborne 

14 debris collectors, either permanently installed on dedi15 cated aircraft or available for immediate use on a 

16 class of aircraft, stationed so that a properly 

17 equipped and manned aircraft is available to collect 

18 debris from a nuclear explosion anywhere in the 

19 United States and transport such debris to an appro20 priate laboratory in a timely fashion; and 

21 (3) to the maximum extent practicable, the capa22 bility should be compatible with collection and anal23 ysis systems used by the United States to characterize 

24 overseas nuclear explosions.
