6 (2) Afghans who have supported the United 

7 States Government in Afghanistan face grave 

8 threats from the Taliban and other terrorist groups 

9 as a result of their service.

3 (5) All visas allocated for such program are 

4 projected to be exhausted and all visa issuances for 

5 principal applicants will cease in October 2017, if

1 SEC. 1248. SUPPORT OF EUROPEAN DETERRENCE INITIA2 TIVE TO DETER RUSSIAN AGGRESSION. 

3 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find4 ings: 

5 (1) Military exercises, such as Exercise Nifty 

6 Nugget and Exercise Reforger during the Cold War, 

7 have historically made important contributions to 

8 testing operational concepts, technologies, and lead9 ership approaches; identifying limiting factors in the 

10 execution of operational plans and appropriate cor11 rective action; and bolstering deterrence against ad12 versaries by demonstrating United States military 

13 capabilities. 

14 (2) Military exercises with North Atlantic Trea15 ty Organization (NATO) allies enhance the inter16 operability and strategic credibility of the alliance. 

17 (3) The increase in conventional, nuclear, and 

18 hybrid threats by the Russian Federation against 

19 the security interests of the United States and allies 

20 in Europe requires substantial and sustained invest21 ment to improve United States combat capability in 

22 Europe. 

23 (4) The decline of a permanent United States 

24 military presence in Europe in recent years increases 

25 the likelihood the United States will rely on being 

26 able to flow forces from the continental United

•S 1519 PCS

1 States to the European theater in the event of a 

2 major contingency. 

3 (5) Senior military leaders, including the Com4 mander of United States Transportation Command, 

5 have warned that a variety of increasingly advanced 

6 capabilities, especially the proliferation of anti-ac7 cess, area denial (A2/AD) capabilities, have given 

8 adversaries of the United States the ability to chal9 lenge the freedom of movement of the United States 

10 military in all domains from force deployment to em11 ployment to disrupt, delay, or deny operations. 

12 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con13 gress that, to enhance the European Deterrence Initiative 

14 and bolster deterrence against Russian aggression, the 

15 United States, together with North Atlantic Treaty Orga16 nization allies and other European partners, should dem17 onstrate its resolve and ability to meet its commitments 

18 under Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty through ap19 propriate military exercises with an emphasis on participa20 tion of United States forces based in the continental 

21 United States and testing strategic and operational logis22 tics and transportation capabilities.

•S 1519 PCS

1 (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

2 (NATO) Intelligence Fusion Center provides a cru3 cial contribution to the North Atlantic Treaty Orga4 nization alliance and the national security of the 

5 United States. 

6 (2) The fast-paced evolution of the security sit7 uation throughout Europe and its periphery, as well 

8 as a marked increase in conventional, nuclear, and 

9 hybrid threats from the Russian Federation, require 

10 optimized efforts to track and attribute critical 

11 threats to the security and stability of Europe and 

12 United States national security interests. 

13 (3) The ability of the North Atlantic Treaty Or14 ganization Intelligence Fusion Center to leverage 

15 strategic intelligence partnerships with the United 

16 States and other allies facilitates daily and direct 

17 collaboration that provides operational advantages 

18 and efficiencies needed to ensure the rapid and prop19 er response by the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza20 tion to Russian aggression in the conventional, nu21 clear, and hybrid domains. 

22 (4) The collocation of the North Atlantic Treaty 

23 Organization Intelligence Fusion Center with the 

24 Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex of the United 

25 States European Command facilitates the sharing

1 and fusion of intelligence, contributes to filling intel2 ligence gaps within both the North Atlantic Treaty 

3 Organization and the United States European Com4 mand, and supports a common intelligence picture 

5 for the North Atlantic Council, which is essential to 

6 establishing political consensus on evaluating, ana7 lyzing, and attributing existing and emerging 

8 threats. 

9 (5) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization In10 telligence Fusion Center and its collocation with the 

11 Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex contribute sig12 nificantly to providing the North Atlantic Treaty Or13 ganization alliance and the United States European 

14 Command timely and effective indications and warn15 ings of threats emanating from within and around

8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find9 ings: 

10 (1) Since the Declaration of Independence in 

11 1776, which was inspired in part as a response to 

12 a ‘‘tyrant’’ who ‘‘plundered our seas, ravaged our 

13 Coasts’’ and who wrote laws ‘‘for cutting off our

20 foreign nations, punishing piracies and felonies com21 mitted on the high seas and offenses against the law

2 region of the world. 

3 (4) In support of international law, the long4 standing United States commitment to freedom of 

5 navigation and ensuring the free access to sea lanes 

6 to promote global commerce remains a core security 

7 interest of the United States. 

8 (5) This is particularly true in areas of the 

9 world that are critical transportation corridors and 

10 key routes for global commerce, such as the South 

11 China Sea and the East China Sea, through which 

12 a significant portion of global commerce transits. 

13 (6) The consistent exercise of freedom of navi14 gation operations and overflights by United States 

15 naval and air forces throughout the world plays a 

16 critical role in safeguarding the freedom of the seas 

17 for all lawful nations, supporting international law, 

18 and ensuring the continued safe passage and pro19 motion of global commerce and trade. 

20 (b) DECLARATION OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the

1 SEC. 1284. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON REAFFIRMING STRA2 TEGIC PARTNERSHIPS AND ALLIES. 

3 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find4 ings: 

5 (1) Since World War II, the United States has 

6 sought partnership and cooperation in establishing a 

7 rules-based international order which has resulted in 

8 one of the most prosperous periods of human his9 tory. 

10 (2) The United States is signatory to seven mu11 tual defense treaties with 56 different countries. 

12 (3) One of the United States defense alliances 

13 is the 29-nation-strong North Atlantic Treaty Orga14 nization (NATO) which is celebrating its 68th anni15 versary. 

16 (4) The United States has not faced a more di17 verse and complex array of crises and threats, in18 cluding the emergence of competitors like Russia 

19 and China, increasingly unstable threats from North 

20 Korea and Iran, and the continued threat from 

21 transnational violent extremist groups like the Is22 lamic State and al–Qaeda. 

23 (5) The strain of a decreased military budget 

24 has decreased capability at precisely the time when 

25 demand for United States military strength has in26 creased. 


lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with BILLS
665 

•S 1519 PCS

1 (6) Fifteen years of continuous war has stymied 

2 military modernization, focused training on asym3 metrical warfare over large-scale conflicts. 

4 (7) Secretary of Defense James Mattis stated 

5 that ‘‘alliances provide avenues for peace, fostering 

6 the conditions for economic growth with countries 

7 that share the same vision, while tempering the 

8 plans of those who would attack other nations or try 

9 to impose their will over the less powerful’’. 

10 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con11 gress that— 

12 (1) the United States is an ally rich nation and 

13 our potential competitors—such as Russia, China, 

14 and North Korea—are ally poor; 

15 (2) United States allies and partners are crit16 ical to defending peace and prosperity throughout 

17 the world; 

18 (3) the rules-based international order sup19 ported by the United States and its allies has en20 sured—and will continue to promote—an inter21 national system that benefits all nations; 

22 (4) throughout the world, the United States will 

23 continue to foster relationships with nations of like 

24 minds and beliefs; 


lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with BILLS
666 

•S 1519 PCS

1 (5) as the United States manages multiple stra2 tegic challenges, our enduring strength remains in 

3 alliances such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organi4 zation; and 

5 (6) the United States will continue to deepen 

6 alliances and expand them, and will take no ally for 

7 granted.
