T79.14 RECORDED VOTE

A recorded vote by electronic device

was ordered in the Committee of the

Whole on the following amendment

submitted by Mr. SHAYS:

At the end of title XII (page 409, after line

18), insert the following new section:

SEC. 1228. REDUCTION OF UNITED STATES MILITARY FORCES IN EUROPE

(a) END STRENGTH REDUCTIONS FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL IN EUROPE.—Notwithstanding section 1002(c)(1) of the National

Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C.

1928 note), but subject to subsection (d), for

each of fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999,

the Secretary of Defense shall reduce the end

strength level of members of the Armed

Forces of the United States assigned to permanent duty ashore in European member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in accordance with subsection

(b).

(b) REDUCTION FORMULA.—

(1) APPLICATION OF FORMULA.—For each

percentage point by which, as of the end of a

fiscal year, the allied contribution level determined under paragraph (2) is less than the

allied contribution goal specified in subsection (c), the Secretary of Defense shall reduce the end strength level of members of

the Armed Forces of the United States assigned to permanent duty ashore in European member nations of NATO by 1,000 for

the next fiscal year. The reduction shall be

made from the end strength level in effect,

pursuant to section 1002(c)(1) of the National

Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C.

1928 note), and subsection (a) of this section

(if applicable), for the fiscal year in which

the allied contribution level is less than the

goal specified in subsection (c).

(2) DETERMINATION OF ALLIED CONTRIBUTION

LEVEL.—To determine the allied contribution

level with respect to a fiscal year, the Secretary of Defense shall calculate the aggregate amount of nonpersonnel costs for

United States military installations in European member nations of NATO that are assumed during that fiscal year by such nations, except that the Secretary may consider only those cash and in-kind contributions by such nations that replace expenditures that would otherwise be made by the

Secretary using funds appropriated or otherwise made available in defense appropriations Acts.

(c) ANNUAL ALLIED CONTRIBUTION GOALS.—

(1) GOALS.—In continuing efforts to enter

into revised host-nation agreements as described in the provisions of law specified in

paragraph (2), the President is urged to seek

to have European member nations of NATO

assume an increased share of the nonpersonnel costs of United States military installations in those nations in accordance with

the following timetable:

(A) By September 30, 1996, 18.75 percent of

such costs should be assumed by those nations.

(B) By September 30, 1997, 37.5 percent of

such costs should be assumed by those nations.

(C) By September 30, 1998, 56.25 percent of

such costs should be assumed by those nations.

(D) By September 30, 1999, 75 percent of

such costs should be assumed by those nations.

(2) SPECIFIED LAWS.—The provisions of law

referred to in paragraph (1) are—

(A) section 1301(e) of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public

Law 102–484; 106 Stat. 2545);

(B) section 1401(c) of the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103–160; 107 Stat. 1824); and

(C) section 1304 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 (Public

Law 103–337; 108 Stat. 2890),

(d) EXCEPTIONS.—

(1) MINIMUM END STRENGTH AUTHORITY.—

Notwithstanding reductions required pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense may maintain an end strength of at

least 25,000 members of the Armed Forces of

the United States assigned to permanent

duty ashore in European member nations of

NATO.

(2) WAIVER AUTHORITY.—The President may

waive operation of this section if the President declares an emergency. The President

shall immediately inform Congress of any

such waiver and the reasons for the waiver.

(e) ALLOCATION OF FORCE REDUCTIONS.—To

the extent that there is a reduction in end

strength level for any of the Armed Forces in

European member nations of NATO in a fiscal year pursuant to subsection (a)—

(1) half of the reduction shall be used to

make a corresponding reduction in the authorized end strength level for active duty

personnel for such Armed Forces for that fiscal year; and

(2) half of the reduction shall be used to

make a corresponding increase in permanent

assignments or deployment of forces in the

United States or other nations (other than

European member nations of NATO) for each

such Armed Force for that fiscal year, as determined by the Secretary of Defense.

(f) NONPERSONNEL COSTS DEFINED.—For

purposes of this section, the term ‘‘nonpersonnel costs’’, with respect to United States

military installations in European member

nations of NATO, means costs for those installation other than costs paid from military personnel accounts.
