tional Intelligence Program will be incorporated into the budget tables pending the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act 

for Fiscal Year 2007. 

The following explains the committee’s clarification to the report 

issued by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. 

Sense of Congress on the COBRA JUDY Replacement Program 

The committee believes that the COBRA JUDY Replacement 

Program is important for ensuring our nation’s ability to acquire 

necessary intelligence on foreign ballistic missile programs and 

their capabilities. Therefore, the committee recommends a new provision (section 437) that would express the sense of the Senate that 

it strongly supports development and integration of this sophisticated solid-state phased array radar technology and ship as a prudent investment in intelligence collection that monitors foreign 

threats and supports the acquisition of our ballistic missile defensive systems. The COBRA JUDY Replacement Program will replace the USNS Observation Island, which is due to leave service 

in 2012, and will satisfy vital intelligence requirements necessary 

for the acquisition of defensive systems designed to defend the nation from ballistic missile attack. The committee further urges the 

continued funding in the Future Years Defense Program of the 

COBRA JUDY Replacement Program by the Secretary of Defense 

and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in order to support 

national defense requirements. 

Space radar 

The committee notes that the DNI is conducting a study to determine future collections architectures. One of the elements of the 

study is a space radar capability. The committee firmly believes 

that only one space radar capability is affordable in the future and 

urges the DNI and the Secretary of Defense to develop a joint 

space radar program if there is a requirement for such a capability. 

The committee, notwithstanding any other direction, strongly encourages the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to direct the 

DNI to participate in the study required in the report accompanying S. 2766 (S. Rept. 109–254) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007. DNI participation is required to 

determine respective roles and missions of the military and intelligence communities in the development of a space radar program, 

including requirements, cost-sharing, acquisition strategy, and 

operational concepts. The committee also believes that for the DNI 

not to participate in a joint study to understand space radar requirements, guided by the collections architecture, would be a mistake that could result in a significant waste of taxpayer dollars. 

COMMITTEE ACTION

Vote: Adopted by voice vote on June 21, 2006. 

FISCAL DATA

The committee will publish in the Congressional Record information on 5-year cost projections when such information is received 

from the Congressional Budget Office.

REGULATORY IMPACT

Paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate requires that a report on the regulatory impact of a bill be included in the report on the bill. The committee finds that there is 

no regulatory impact in the cost of S. 3237, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007. 

CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW

Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 12 of rule XXVI of the 

Standing Rules of the Senate, the changes in existing law made by 

certain portions of the bill have not been shown in this section of 

the report because, in the opinion of the committee, it is necessary 

to dispense with showing such changes in order to expedite the 

business of the Senate and reduce the expenditure of funds.
