    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 661, by a record vote of 8 to 1, report the 
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution 
be adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for further consideration of H.R. 
4310, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2013, under a structured rule. The resolution provides that no 
further general debate shall be in order. The resolution makes 
in order as original text for purpose of amendment an amendment 
in the nature of a substitute consisting of Rules Committee 
Print 112-22 and provides that it shall be considered as read. 
The resolution waives all points of order against the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute.
    The resolution makes in order only those amendments printed 
in this report and amendments en bloc described in section 3 of 
the resolution. The amendments printed in this report may be 
offered only in the order printed in this report, may be 
offered only by a Member designated in this report, shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified 
in this report equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall 
not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the 
House or in the Committee of the Whole. The resolution waives 
all points of order against the amendments printed in this 
report or against amendments en bloc described in section 3 of 
the resolution.
    Section 3 of the resolution provides that it shall be in 
order at any time for the chair of the Committee on Armed 
Services or his designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting 
of amendments printed in this report not earlier disposed of. 
Amendments en bloc shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for 20 minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed 
Services or their designees, shall not be subject to amendment, 
and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. The 
original proponent of an amendment included in such amendments 
en bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record 
immediately before the disposition of the amendments en bloc. 
Finally, the resolution provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute made in order as original text 
consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 112-22 includes 
a waiver of the following points of order:
           Clause 4 of rule XXI, prohibiting 
        appropriations in a legislative bill, because section 
        2831(c)(1) contains language which constitutes a 
        reappropriation of existing funds (this violation will 
        be cured if amendment #1, the Manager's amendment, is 
        adopted);
           Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, 
        prohibiting consideration of legislation within the 
        jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget unless 
        referred to or reported by the Budget Committee, 
        because sections 904 and 1002 of Rules Committee Print 
        112-22 constitute language which falls within the 
        jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget and the 
        bill was not referred to or reported by the Committee 
        on the Budget; and
           Clause 7 of rule XVI, requiring that no 
        motion or proposition on a subject different from that 
        under consideration shall be admitted under color of 
        amendment, because numerous provisions contained in 
        Rules Committee Print 112-22 fall outside of the 
        jurisdiction of the Committee on Armed Services.
    It is important to note that while the waivers are 
applicable to Rules Committee Print 112-22, the Rules Committee 
Print is identical to the bill as ordered reported by the 
Committee on Armed Services.
    The waiver of all points of order against the amendments 
printed in this report includes a waiver of section 306 of the 
Congressional Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of 
legislation within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the 
Budget unless referred to or reported by the Budget Committee, 
against amendment #38.

accelerated transition from U.S. Armed Forces to the Government 
of Afghanistan of combat operations by no later than the end of

robust negotiations to address Afghanistan's and the region's

the president determine the necessity for post-2014 deployment 
of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, the Congress should authorize 
any such presence of troops. Defeated: 1-8.

to be eligible to receive a federal contract. Defeated: 1-8.

                    AVAILABLE ACTIVITIES BY DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 
                    CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) our Nation's economic strength is characterized 
        by individual freedom and the competitive enterprise 
        system, and as such, the Federal Government should not 
        compete with its citizens and private enterprise;
          (2) in recognition of this policy, the Government 
        should rely on commercially available sources to 
        provide commercial products and services and should not 
        start or carry on any activity to provide a commercial 
        product or service if the product or service can be 
        procured more economically from a commercial source;
          (3) this policy conforms with Department of Defense 
        Total Force Management procedures aimed at improving 
        total manpower requirements, determinations, and 
        planning to facilitate decisions regarding which sector 
        (military, civilian, or contractor personnel) should 
        perform each requirement; and
          (4) the Department of Defense should not convert the 
        performance of any function from performance by a 
        contractor to performance by Department of Defense 
        civilian employees unless the function is inherently 
        governmental in nature or the conversion is necessary 
        to comply with section 129a of title 10, United States 
        Code, as amended by this Act.
  (b) Definition of Inherently Governmental.--In this section, 
the term ``inherently governmental'' has the meaning given that 
term in section 5(2) of the Federal Activities Inventory Reform 
Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-270; 112 Stat. 2384; 31 U.S.C. 501 
note).

Department of Defense civilian employees to perform any

                    HEALTH ISSUES WHEN MAKING DETERMINATIONS ABOUT 
                    PROMOTIONS.

  (a) Prohibition.--Except as provided in subsection (b), when 
making determinations about promotions or separations, a 
promotion board may not request, review, or consider--
          (1) the mental health records, addiction service 
        records, counseling records, or any other documents 
        concerning the pursuit of assistance with mental health 
        issues, ongoing or past, of a member of the Armed

 21. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Pingree of Maine or 
                 Her Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of subtitle H of title V, add the following new 
section:

SEC. 584. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MILITARY SEXUAL TRAUMA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Department of Defense conducted a survey of 
        members of the Armed Forces serving on active duty that 
        revealed that only 13.5 percent of such members 
        reported incidents of sexual assault, which means that 
        more than 19,000 incidents of sexual assault of members 
        of the Armed Forces actually occurred in 2010 alone.
          (2) Despite attempts, the Department of Defense has 
        failed to address the chronic under reporting of 
        incidents of sexual assault and harassment, as by the 
        Department's own estimates, 86 percent of sexual 
        assaults went unreported in 2010.
          (3) Sexual assault in the military is an ongoing 
        problem leading many victims to seek help after 
        separation from the Armed Forces from the Department of 
        Veterans Affairs.
          (4) About 1 in 5 women and 1 in 100 men seen in 
        Veterans Health Administration respond ``Yes'' when 
        screened for military sexual trauma.
          (5) Among users of healthcare provided by the 
        Department of Veterans Affairs, medical record data 
        indicates that diagnoses of post-traumatic stress 
        disorder and other anxiety disorders, depression and 
        other mood disorders, and substance use disorders are 
        most frequently associated with military sexual trauma.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should expand 
        efforts to raise awareness about military sexual trauma 
        and the treatment and services that the Department 
        provides to victims; and
          (2) in light of the fact that the available data 
        shows an overwhelming number of military sexual trauma 
        claims go unreported within the Department of Defense, 
        making it very difficult for veterans to show proof of 
        the assault when filing claims with the Department of 
        Veterans Affairs for post-traumatic stress disorder and 
        other mental health conditions caused by military 
        sexual trauma, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should 
        review the disability process to ensure that victims of 
        military sexual trauma who file claims for service 
        connection do not face unnecessary or overly burdensome 
        requirements in order to claim disability benefits with 
        the Department.

23. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Bishop of New York or 
                 His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of title V, add the following new section:

SEC. 5__. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE RECOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF 
                    CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES KILLED IN 
                    THURSTON ISLAND, ANTARCTICA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Commencing August 26, 1946, though late February 
        1947 the United States Navy Antarctic Developments 
        Program Task Force 68, codenamed ``Operation Highjump'' 
        initiated and undertook the largest ever-to-this-date 
        exploration of the Antarctic continent.
          (2) The primary mission of the Task Force 68 
        organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr. USN, 
        (Ret) and led by Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen, USN, 
        was to do the following:
                  (A) Establish the Antarctic research base 
                Little America IV.
                  (B) In the defense of the United States of 
                America from possible hostile aggression from 
                abroad - to train personnel test equipment, 
                develop techniques for establishing, 
                maintaining and utilizing air bases on ice, 
                with applicability comparable to interior 
                Greenland, where conditions are similar to 
                those of the Antarctic.
                  (C) Map and photograph a full two-thirds of 
                the Antarctic Continent during the classified, 
                hazardous duty/volunteer-only operation 
                involving 4700 sailors, 23 aircraft and 13 
                ships including the first submarine the U.S.S. 
                Sennet, and the aircraft carrier the U.S.S. 
                Philippine Sea, brought to the edge of the ice 
                pack to launch (6) Navy ski-equipped, rocket-
                assisted R4Ds.
                  (D) Consolidate and extend United States 
                sovereignty over the largest practicable area 
                of the Antarctic continent.
                  (E) Determine the feasibility of 
                establishing, maintaining and utilizing bases 
                in the Antarctic and investigating possible 
                base sites.
          (3) While on a hazardous duty/all volunteer mission 
        vital to the interests of National Security and while 
        over the eastern Antarctica coastline known as the 
        Phantom Coast, the PBM-5 Martin Mariner ``Flying Boat'' 
        ``George 1'' entered a whiteout over Thurston Island. 
        As the pilot attempted to climb, the aircraft grazed 
        the glacier's ridgeline and exploded within 5 seconds 
        instantly killing Ensign Maxwell Lopez, Navigator and 
        Wendell ``Bud'' Hendersin, Aviation Machinists Mate 1st 
        Class while Frederick Williams, Aviation Radioman 1st 
        Class died several hours later. Six other crewmen 
        survived including the Captain of the ``George 1's'' 
        seaplane tender U.S.S. Pine Island.
          (4) The bodies of the dead were protected from the 
        desecration of Antarctic scavenging birds (Skuas) by 
        the surviving crew wrapping the bodies and temporarily 
        burying the men under the starboard wing engine 
        nacelle.
          (5) Rescue requirements of the ``George-1'' survivors 
        forced the abandonment of their crewmates' bodies.
          (6) Conditions prior to the departure of Task Force 
        68 precluded a return to the area to the recover the 
        bodies.
          (7) For nearly 60 years Navy promised the families 
        that they would recover the men: ``If the safety, 
        logistical, and operational prerequisites allow a 
        mission in the future, every effort will be made to 
        bring our sailors home.''.
          (8) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command twice 
        offered to recover the bodies of this crew for Navy.
          (9) A 2004 NASA ground penetrating radar overflight 
        commissioned by Navy relocated the crash site three 
        miles from its crash position.
          (10) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command offered to 
        underwrite the cost of an aerial ground penetrating 
        radar (GPR) survey of the crash site area by NASA.
          (11) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command studied the 
        recovery with the recognized recovery authorities and 
        national scientists and determined that the recovery is 
        only ``medium risk''.
          (12) National Science Foundation and scientists from 
        the University of Texas, Austin, regularly visit the 
        island.
          (13) The crash site is classified as a ``perishable 
        site'', meaning a glacier that will calve into the 
        Bellingshausen Sea.
          (14) The National Science Foundation maintains a 
        presence in area - of the Pine Island Glacier.
          (15) The National Science Foundation Director of 
        Polar Operations will assist and provide assets for the 
        recovery upon the request of Congress.
          (16) The United States Coast Guard is presently 
        pursuing the recovery of 3 WWII air crewmen from 
        similar circumstances in Greenland.
          (17) On Memorial Day, May 25, 2009, President Barak 
        Obama declared: ``. . .the support of our veterans is a 
        sacred trust. . .we need to serve them as they have 
        served us. . .that means bringing home all our POWs and 
        MIAs. . .''.
          (18) The policies and laws of the United States of 
        America require that our armed service personnel be 
        repatriated.
          (19) The fullest possible accounting of United States 
        fallen military personnel means repatriating living 
        American POWs and MIAs, accounting for, identifying, 
        and recovering the remains of military personnel who 
        were killed in the line of duty, or providing 
        convincing evidence as to why such a repatriation, 
        accounting, identification, or recovery is not 
        possible.
          (20) It is the responsibility of the Federal 
        Government to return to the United States for proper 
        burial and respect all members of the Armed Forces 
        killed in the line of duty who lie in lost graves.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings under 
subsection (a), Congress--
          (1) reaffirms its support for the recovery and return 
        to the United States, the remains and bodies of all 
        members of the Armed Forces killed in the line of duty, 
        and for the efforts by the Joint POW-MIA Accounting 
        Command to recover the remains of members of the Armed 
        Forces from all wars, conflicts and missions;
          (2) recognizes the courage and sacrifice of all 
        members of the Armed Forces who participated in 
        Operation Highjump and all missions vital to the 
        national security of the United States of America;
          (3) acknowledges the dedicated research and efforts 
        by the US Geological Survey, the National Science 
        Foundation, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, the 
        Fallen American Veterans Foundation and all persons and 
        organizations to identify, locate, and advocate for, 
        from their temporary Antarctic grave, the recovery of 
        the well-preserved frozen bodies of Ensign Maxwell 
        Lopez, Naval Aviator, Frederick Williams, Aviation 
        Machinist's Mate 1ST Class, Wendell Hendersin, Aviation 
        Radioman 1ST Class of the ``George 1'' explosion and 
        crash; and
          (4) encourages the Department of Defense to review 
        the facts, research and to pursue new efforts to 
        undertake all feasible efforts to recover, identify, 
        and return the well-preserved frozen bodies of the 
        ``George 1'' crew from Antarctica's Thurston Island.

                contamination, including identifying the extent 
                of commingling of plume emanating within 
                surrounding areas in San Bernardino County, 
                California; and
                  (I) any other relevant criteria; and

entities that the Secretary determines to be appropriate, 
including other Federal agencies and institutions of higher 
education.

shall submit to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 
of the Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the

39. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Gingrey of Georgia or 
                 His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of subtitle H of title X of division A, add the 
following new section:

SEC. 10___. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PRESERVATION OF SECOND 
                    AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL 
                    STATIONED OR RESIDING IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) The Second Amendment to the United States 
        Constitution provides that the right of the people to 
        keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
          (2) Approximately 40,000 servicemen and women across 
        all branches of the Armed Forces either live in or are 
        stationed on active duty within the Washington, D.C. 
        metropolitan area. Unless these individuals are granted 
        a waiver as serving in a law enforcement role, they are 
        subject to the District of Columbia's onerous and 
        highly restrictive laws on the possession of firearms.
          (3) Military personnel, despite being extensively 
        trained in the proper and safe use of firearms, are 
        therefore deprived by the laws of the District of 
        Columbia of handguns, rifles, and shotguns that are 
        commonly kept by law-abiding persons throughout the 
        United States for sporting use and for lawful defense 
        of their persons, homes, businesses, and families.
          (4) The District of Columbia has one of the highest 
        per capita murder rates in the Nation, which may be 
        attributed in part to previous local laws prohibiting 
        possession of firearms by law-abiding persons who would 
        have otherwise been able to defend themselves and their 
        loved ones in their own homes and businesses.
          (5) The Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended by the 
        Firearms Owners' Protection Act, and the Brady Handgun 
        Violence Prevention Act, provide comprehensive Federal 
        regulations applicable in the District of Columbia as 
        elsewhere. In addition, existing District of Columbia 
        criminal laws punish possession and illegal use of 
        firearms by violent criminals and felons. Consequently, 
        there is no need for local laws that only affect and 
        disarm law-abiding citizens.
          (6) On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court of the United 
        States in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller 
        held that the Second Amendment protects an individual's 
        right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful 
        purposes, and thus ruled that the District of 
        Columbia's handgun ban and requirements that rifles and 
        shotguns in the home be kept unloaded and disassembled 
        or outfitted with a trigger lock to be 
        unconstitutional.
          (7) On July 16, 2008, the District of Columbia 
        enacted the Firearms Control Emergency Amendment Act of 
        2008 (D.C. Act 17-422; 55 DCR 8237), which places 
        onerous restrictions on the ability of law-abiding 
        citizens from possessing firearms, thus violating the 
        spirit by which the Supreme Court of the United States 
        ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller.
          (8) On February 26, 2009, the United States Senate 
        adopted an amendment on a bipartisan vote of 62-36 by 
        Senator John Ensign to S. 160, the District of Columbia 
        House Voting Rights Act of 2009, which would fully 
        restore Second Amendment rights to the citizens of the 
        District of Columbia.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
active duty military personnel who are stationed or residing in 
the District of Columbia should be permitted to exercise fully 
their rights under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of 
the United States and therefore should be exempt from the 
District of Columbia's restrictions on the possession of 
firearms.
                              ----------                              

40. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Bishop of New York or 
                 His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of title X, add the following new section:

SEC. 1084. THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HONORS.

  (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
          (1) The spread of warfare across Europe and Asia led 
        to the establishment on May 20, 1941, of the United 
        States Office of Civilian Defense by Executive Order 
        8757 of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to ``assure 
        effective coordination of Federal relations with State 
        and local governments engaged in defense activities, to 
        provide for necessary cooperation with States and local 
        governments in respect to measures for adequate 
        protection of the civilian population in emergency 
        periods, to facilitate constructive civilian 
        participation in the defense program, and to sustain 
        national morale''.
          (2) The December 7, 1941, attack by the Empire of 
        Japan on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, precipitated the entry 
        of the United States into the worldwide conflict and 
        signaled a new era of warfare that demanded new efforts 
        to protect the people of the United States from 
        airborne assault by an overseas enemy.
          (3) In response to this new threat, the United States 
        Office of Civilian Defense mobilized millions of 
        volunteers to participate in efforts to enhance the 
        preparedness of the United States in case of attack, 
        including fire protection, communication and logistics, 
        construction of bomb shelters, and air raid blackout 
        drills.
          (4) Thousands of Americans unable to serve in the 
        United States Armed Forces volunteered their service as 
        Air Raid Wardens in communities across the United 
        States during World War II, contributing to America's 
        defense against potential enemy assault and the 
        ultimate victory of the Allied nation.
          (5) A training manual distributed to Air Raid Wardens 
        during World War II noted that ``In the system of 
        civilian defense, the Air Raid Warden occupies the key 
        position. He is the field officer under whose 
        supervision the efforts of the civilian population are 
        directed in the tremendous task of effective defense. 
        Through the Air Raid Wardens, civilian activity is 
        coordinated with that of the police and fire 
        departments and other vital services.''
          (6) Training manuals distributed to Air Raid Wardens 
        included ``I am an Air Raid Warden'', by Frank W. 
        Atherton, Chief Air Raid Warden, 1st District, United 
        States Citizens' Defense Corps of Michigan, which read, 
        in part that ``I am an Air Raid Warden. My country, my 
        state and my community have given me many pleasant and 
        fruitful years and now in time of trouble I feel that 
        it is my duty to do my part in the work assigned to me 
        in helping to reduce to a minimum any harm that may 
        come from without or within.''
          (7) Tony Pastor and His Orchestra released a song in 
        1942, titled ``Obey Your Air Raid Warden'', which was 
        widely distributed as a public service announcement and 
        contained the following lyrics: ``One, be calm. Two, 
        get under shelter. Three, don't run. Obey your air-raid 
        warden. Four, stay home. Five, keep off the highway. 
        Six, don't phone. Obey your air-raid warden. There are 
        rules that you should know, What to do and where to go, 
        When you hear the sirens blow, Stop, look, and listen. 
        Seven, don't smoke. Eight, help all the kiddies. Most 
        of all, obey your air-raid warden. Stop, look, and 
        listen. Dim the lights, Wait for information, Most of 
        all, obey your air-raid warden. Stop the panic, Don't 
        get in a huff, Our aim today is to call their bluff. 
        Follow these rules and that is enough. Obey your air-
        raid warden.''
  (b) The House of Representatives Honors.--The House of 
Representatives encourages surviving Air Raid Wardens and other 
volunteers of the United States Office of Civilian Defense 
during the World War II to record and permanently preserve 
stories of their service for future generations.

  At the end of title XII, add the following new section:

SEC. 12__. REMOVAL OF BRIGADE COMBAT TEAMS FROM EUROPE.

  (a) Finding.--Congress finds that, because defense spending 
among European NATO countries fell 12% since 2008, from $314 
billion to $275 billion, so that currently only 4 out of the 28 
NATO allies of the United States are spending the widely 
agreed-to standard of 2% of their GDP on defense, the United 
States must look to more wisely allocate scarce resources to 
provide for the national defense.
  (b) Removal Authorized.--The President is authorized and 
requested to end the permanent basing of units of the United 
States Armed Forces in European member nations of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization and return the four Brigade Combat 
Teams currently stationed in Europe to the United States.
  (c) Use of Rotational Forces to Satisfy Security Needs.--It 
is the policy of the United States that the deployment of units 
of the United States Armed Forces on a rotational basis at 
military installations in European member nations of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization pursuant to the Army Force 
Generation (ARFORGEN) process is a force-structure arrangement 
sufficient to permit the United States--
          (1) to satisfy the commitments undertaken by United 
        States pursuant to Article 5 of the North Atlantic 
        Treaty, signed at Washington, District of Columbia, on 
        April 4, 1949, and entered into force on August 24, 
        1949 (63 Stat. 2241; TIAS 1964);
          (2) to address the current security environment in 
        Europe; and
          (3) to contribute to peace and stability in Europe.

 49. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Lee of California or 
                 Her Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the appropriate place in title XII of division A of the 
bill, add the following:

 Subtitle _--Prevent Iran From Acquiring Nuclear Weapons and Stop War 
                         Through Diplomacy Act

SEC. _1. SHORT TITLE.

  This subtitle may be cited as the ``Prevent Iran from 
Acquiring Nuclear Weapons and Stop War Through Diplomacy Act''.

SEC. _2. FINDINGS.

  Congress finds the following:
          (1) In his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech on 
        December 10, 2009, President Obama said, ``I know that 
        engagement with repressive regimes lacks the satisfying 
        purity of indignation. But I also know that sanctions 
        without outreach--and condemnation without discussion--
        can carry forward a crippling status quo. No repressive 
        regime can move down a new path unless it has the 
        choice of an open door.''
          (2) In his address to the American Israel Public 
        Affairs Committee on March 4, 2012, President Obama 
        said, ``I have said that when it comes to preventing 
        Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, I will take no 
        options off the table, and I mean what I say. That 
        includes all elements of American power. A political 
        effort aimed at isolating Iran; a diplomatic effort to 
        sustain our coalition and ensure that the Iranian 
        program is monitored; an economic effort to impose 
        crippling sanctions; and, yes, a military effort to be 
        prepared for any contingency.''
          (3) While the Obama Administration has rejected 
        failed policies of the past by engaging in negotiations 
        with Iran without preconditions, only four of such 
        meetings have occurred.
          (4) Official representatives of the United States and 
        official representatives of Iran have held only two 
        direct, bilateral meetings in over 30 years, both of 
        which occurred in October 2009, one on the sidelines of 
        the United Nations Security Council negotiations in 
        Geneva, and one on the sidelines of negotiations 
        brokered by the United Nations International Atomic 
        Energy Agency (referred to in this Act as the ``IAEA'') 
        in Vienna.
          (5) All of the outstanding issues between the United 
        States and Iran cannot be resolved instantaneously. 
        Resolving such issues will require a robust, sustained 
        effort.
          (6) Under the Department of State's current ``no 
        contact'' policy, officers and employees of the 
        Department of State are not permitted to make any 
        direct contact with official representatives of the 
        Government of Iran without express prior authorization 
        from the Secretary of State.
          (7) On September 20, 2011, then-Chairman of the Joint 
        Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, called for 
        establishing direct communications with Iran, stating, 
        ``I'm talking about any channel that's open. We've not 
        had a direct link of communication with Iran since 
        1979. And I think that has planted many seeds for 
        miscalculation. When you miscalculate, you can escalate 
        and misunderstand.''
          (8) On November 8, 2011, the IAEA issued a report 
        about Iran's nuclear program and expressed concerns 
        about Iran's past and ongoing nuclear activities.
          (9) On December 2, 2011, Secretary of Defense Leon 
        Panetta warned that an attack on Iran would result in 
        ``an escalation that would take place that would not 
        only involve many lives, but I think it could consume 
        the Middle East in a confrontation and a conflict that 
        we would regret.''

SEC. _3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

  It should be the policy of the United States--
          (1) to prevent Iran from pursuing or acquiring a 
        nuclear weapon and to resolve the concerns of the 
        United States and of the international community about 
        Iran's nuclear program and Iran's human rights 
        obligations under international and Iranian law;
          (2) to ensure inspection of cargo to or from Iran, as 
        well as the seizure and disposal of prohibited items, 
        as authorized by United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution 1929 (June 9, 2010);
          (3) to pursue sustained, direct, bilateral 
        negotiations with the Government of Iran without 
        preconditions in order to reduce tensions, prevent war, 
        prevent nuclear proliferation, support human rights, 
        and seek resolutions to issues that concern the United 
        States and the international community;
          (4) to utilize all diplomatic tools, including direct 
        talks, targeted sanctions, Track II diplomacy, creating 
        a special envoy described in section 4, and enlisting 
        the support of all interested parties, for the purpose 
        of establishing an agreement with Iran to put in place 
        a program that includes international safeguards, 
        guarantees, and robust transparency measures that 
        provide for full IAEA oversight of Iran's nuclear 
        program, including rigorous, ongoing inspections, in 
        order to verify that Iran's nuclear program is 
        exclusively for peaceful purposes and that Iran is not 
        engaged in nuclear weapons work;
          (5) to pursue opportunities to build mutual trust and 
        to foster sustained negotiations in good faith with 
        Iran, including pursuing a fuel swap deal to remove 
        quantities of low enriched uranium from Iran and to 
        refuel the Tehran Research Reactor, similar to the 
        structure of the deal that the IAEA, the United States, 
        China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany 
        first proposed in October 2009;
          (6) to explore areas of mutual benefit to both Iran 
        and the United States, such as regional security, the 
        long-term stabilization of Iraq and Afghanistan, the 
        establishment of a framework for peaceful nuclear 
        energy production, other peaceful energy modernization 
        programs, and counter-narcotics efforts; and
          (7) that no funds appropriated or otherwise made 
        available to any executive agency of the Government of 
        the United States may be used to carry out any military 
        operation or activity against Iran unless the President 
        determines that a military operation or activity is 
        warranted and seeks express prior authorization by 
        Congress, as required under article I, section 8, 
        clause 2 of the United States Constitution, which 
        grants Congress the sole authority to declare war, 
        except that this requirement shall not apply to a 
        military operation or activity--
                  (A) to directly repel an offensive military 
                action launched from within the territory of 
                Iran against the United States or any ally with 
                whom the United States has a mutual defense 
                assistance agreement;
                  (B) in hot pursuit of forces that engage in 
                an offensive military action outside the 
                territory of Iran against United States forces 
                or an ally with whom the United States has a 
                mutual defense assistance agreement and then 
                enter into the territory of Iran; or
                  (C) to directly thwart an imminent offensive 
                military action to be launched from within the 
                territory of Iran against United States forces 
                or an ally with whom the United States has a 
                mutual defense assistance agreement.

        Mariana Islands, any possession of the United States, 
        and any waters within the jurisdiction of the United 
        States.

SEC. 1703. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Responsibilities for overseas stability and 
        reconstruction operations are divided among several 
        agencies. As a result, lines of responsibility and 
        accountability are not well-defined.
          (2) Despite the establishment of the Office of the 
        Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization within 
        the Department of State, the reaffirmation of the 
        Coordinator's mandate by the National Security 
        Presidential Directive 44, its codification with title 
        XVI of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization 
        Act for Fiscal Year 2009, and the issuance of the 
        Department of Defense Directive 3000.05, serious 
        imbalances and insufficient interagency coordination 
        remain.
          (3) The United States Government has not effectively 
        or efficiently managed stabilization and reconstruction 
        operations during recent decades.
          (4) Based on trends, the United States will likely 
        continue to find its involvement necessary in 
        stabilization and reconstruction operations in foreign 
        countries in the wake of violence or cataclysmic 
        disaster.
          (5) The United States has not adequately learned the 
        lessons of its recent experiences in stabilization and 
        reconstruction operations, and despite efforts to 
        improve its performance is not yet organized 
        institutionally to respond appropriately to the need to 
        perform stabilization and reconstruction operations in 
        foreign countries.
          (6) The failure to learn the lessons of past 
        stabilization and reconstruction operations will lead 
        to further inefficiencies, resulting in greater human 
        and financial costs.
  (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are to--
          (1) advance the national interest of the United 
        States by providing an effective means to plan for and 
        execute stabilization and reconstruction operations in 
        foreign countries;
          (2) provide for unity of command, and thus achieve 
        unity of effort, in the planning and execution of 
        stabilization and reconstruction operations;
          (3) provide accountability for resources dedicated to 
        stabilization and reconstruction operations;
          (4) maximize the efficient use of resources, which 
        may lead to budget savings, eliminated redundancy in 
        functions, and improvement in the management of 
        stabilization and reconstruction operations; and
          (5) establish an entity to plan for stabilization and 
        reconstruction operations and, when directed by the 
        President, coordinate and execute such operations, 
        eventually returning responsibility for such operations 
        to other agencies of the United States Government as 
        the situation becomes normalized.

of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
conduct an anonymous survey among members and former members of

zone since September 11, 2001, requesting information on what 
kinds of personal protection equipment (such as body armor and 
ballistic eyewear) the member believes should have been 
provided to members during deployment but were not provided. 
The Secretary shall include in the survey questions about 
whether members, their families, or other persons purchased any 
personal protection equipment because the Armed Forces did not

after the completion of the survey required by subsection (b), 
the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report----

        Armed Forces to protect themselves;
          (3) explaining why such personal protection equipment 
        was not provided; and
          (4) recommending future funding solutions to prevent 
        the omission in the future.

section:

SEC. 3__. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING DECONTAMINATION OF FORMER 
                    BOMBARDMENT AREA ON ISLAND OF CULEBRA, PUERTO RICO.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following--
          (1) Section 2815 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-
        383; 124 Stat. 4464) requires the Secretary of Defense 
        within 270 days of receiving a request from the 
        government of Puerto Rico, to conduct a study assessing 
        the presence of unexploded ordnance, and any threat to 
        public health, public safety and the environment posed 
        by such unexploded ordnance, in the portion of the 
        former bombardment area on the island of Culebra, 
        Puerto Rico, that was transferred to the government of 
        Puerto Rico by quitclaim deed on August 11, 1982.
          (2) On April 25, 2011, the Governor of Puerto Rico 
        formally requested by letter that the Secretary of 
        Defense commence this study.
          (3) On May 25, 2011, the Deputy Under Secretary of 
        Defense for Installations and Environment acknowledged 
        receipt of the Governor's letter on behalf of the 
        Secretary of Defense, and affirmed that the Department 
        of Defense would conduct the study in accordance with 
        such section 2815 and provide the final report to 
        Congress no later than 270 days from the date of the 
        Governor's letter.
          (4) January 20, 2012, marked the date 270 days after 
        the Governor's letter of April 25, 2011.
          (5) Section 204(c) of the Military Construction 
        Authorization Act, 1974 (Public Law 93-166; 87 Stat. 
        668) stated that ``the present bombardment area on the 
        island of Culebra shall not be utilized for any purpose 
        that would require decontamination at the expense of 
        the United States.'' The Department of Defense has 
        interpreted this provision to constitute a permanent 
        prohibition on the use of Federal funds in the area of 
        Culebra referenced in such section to pay for 
        decontamination and removal of unexploded ordnance, 
        although it may be warranted to protect public health, 
        public safety, and the environment.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Secretary of Defense should expeditiously 
        submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
        Senate and House of Representatives the final report 
        prepared in accordance with section 2815 of the Ike 
        Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
        Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383; 124 Stat. 4464);
          (2) if that report indicates that decontamination and 
        removal of unexploded ordnance in the portion of the 
        former bombardment area on Culebra that was transferred 
        to the government of Puerto Rico by quitclaim deed on 
        August 11, 1982, could be conducted at reasonable cost 
        to the Federal Government, it is appropriate for 
        Congress to amend section 204(c) of the Military 
        Construction Authorization Act, 1974 (Public Law 93-
        166; 87 Stat. 668) to authorize such decontamination 
        and removal of unexploded ordnance; and
          (3) any removal of unexploded ordnance should be 
        accomplished pursuant to the normal prioritization 
        process established by the Department of Defense under 
        the Military Munitions Response Program within the 
        Defense Environmental Restoration Program.

92. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Johnson of Georgia or 
                 His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of title VII, add the following new section:

SEC. 7__. CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT FOR GREATER AWARENESS OF POST-TRAUMATIC 
                    STRESS DISORDER.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The brave men and women of the United States 
        Armed Forces, who proudly serve the United States, risk 
        their lives to protect the freedom of the United States 
        and deserve the investment of every possible resource 
        to ensure their lasting physical, mental, and emotional 
        well-being.
          (2) More than 2,400,000 members of the Armed Forces 
        have deployed overseas as part of overseas contingency 
        operations since the events of September 11, 2001.
          (3) One in five members who have returned from 
        deployment reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress 
        disorder (PTSD).
          (4) Just over \1/2\ of the members have sought 
        treatment for PTSD symptoms.
          (5) More than 90,000 members returning from 
        deployment to Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation 
        Iraqi Freedom are clinically diagnosed with PTSD.
          (6) The Armed Forces have sustained an operational 
        tempo for a period of time unprecedented in the history 
        of the United States, with many members deploying 
        multiple times, placing them at high risk of PTSD.
          (7) Up to 10 percent of Operation Desert Storm 
        veterans, 30 percent of Vietnam veterans, and 8 percent 
        of the general population of the United States suffer 
        or have suffered from PTSD.
          (8) Many cases of PTSD remain unreported, 
        undiagnosed, and untreated due to a lack of awareness 
        about PTSD and the persistent stigma associated with 
        mental health issues.
          (9) PTSD significantly increases the risk of 
        depression, suicide, and drug- and alcohol-related 
        disorders and deaths, especially if left untreated.
          (10) The Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs 
        have made significant advances in the prevention, 
        diagnosis, and treatment of PTSD and the symptoms of 
        PTSD, but many challenges remain.
          (11) About \1/2\ of members and their spouses report 
        they are somewhat or not at all knowledgeable about the 
        signs and symptoms of PTSD.
  (b) Congressional Expression of Support.--In light of the 
findings made in subsection (a), Congress--
          (1) supports the efforts of the Secretary of Veterans 
        Affairs and the Secretary of Defense to educate service 
        members, veterans, the families of service members and 
        veterans, and the public about the causes, symptoms, 
        and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); 
        and
          (2) supports the creation of an advisory commission 
        on PTSD to coordinate the efforts of the Department of 
        Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other 
        executive departments and agencies for the prevention, 
        diagnosis, and treatment of PTSD.
                              ----------

 101. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Pierluisi of Puerto 
             Rico or His Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  At the end of subtitle B of title X, add the following new 
section:

SEC. 1015. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE COUNTERDRUG TETHERED 
                    AEROSTAT RADAR SYSTEM PROGRAM.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Since 1992, the Air Force has administered the 
        Counterdrug Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) 
        program, which contributes to deterring and detecting 
        smugglers moving illicit drugs into the United States.
          (2) There are eight current tethered aerostat 
        systems, located at Yuma, Arizona, Fort Huachuca, 
        Arizona, Deming, New Mexico, Marfa, Texas, Eagle Pass, 
        Texas, Rio Grande City, Texas, Cudjoe Key, Florida, and 
        Lajas, Puerto Rico.
          (3) Primary customers of the surveillance data from 
        the TARS program are the Department of Homeland 
        Security, the United States Northern Command, the 
        United States Southern Command, and the North American 
        Aerospace Defense Command.
          (4) In the past two years, the radars in two of the 
        eight tethered aerostat systems have been destroyed in 
        strong weather conditions, namely the radar at Lajas, 
        Puerto Rico, which was destroyed in April 2011, and the 
        radar at Marfa, Texas, which was destroyed in February 
        2012.
          (5) The Air Force has indicated that it does not have 
        sufficient spare parts in its inventory to replace 
        either of these two radars or the funding necessary to 
        purchase any new radars. As a result, there are no 
        current plans to resume operations at Lajas, Puerto 
        Rico or Marfa, Texas.
          (6) The loss of these two tethered aerostats systems 
        substantially degrades counterdrug capabilities in the 
        Caribbean corridor and along the Southwest border.
          (7) The loss of the tethered aerostat system in 
        Lajas, Puerto Rico, is particularly detrimental to the 
        national counterdrug mission. In Section 1023 of the 
        National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 
        (Public Law 109-163), Congress found that--
                  (A) ``Drug traffickers use the Caribbean 
                corridor to smuggle narcotics to the United 
                States via Puerto Rico and the Dominican 
                Republic. This route is ideal for drug 
                trafficking because of its geographic expanse, 
                numerous law enforcement jurisdictions, and 
                fragmented investigative efforts.''; and
                  (B) ``The tethered aerostat system in Lajas, 
                Puerto Rico, contributes to deterring and 
                detecting smugglers moving illicit drugs into 
                Puerto Rico. The aerostat's range and 
                operational capabilities allow it to provide 
                surveillance coverage of the eastern Caribbean 
                corridor and the strategic waterway between 
                Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, known 
                as the Mona Passage.''.
          (8) In such section 1023, Congress expressed that 
        ``Congress and the Department of Defense should fund 
        the Counter-Drug Tethered Aerostat program.''.
          (9) In recent years, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin 
        Islands have been increasingly impacted by the drug 
        trade and related violence. Both jurisdictions have 
        homicide rates that are roughly six times the national 
        average and about three times higher than any State, 
        and many of these homicides are linked to the drug 
        trade.
          (10) The Department of Defense has raised questions 
        as to whether it should continue to administer the TARS 
        program or, alternatively, whether responsibility for 
        this program should be vested in the Department of 
        Homeland Security.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings under 
subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) irrespective of whether the Department of Defense 
        continues to be responsible for the Counterdrug 
        Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) program or such 
        responsibility is assigned to another agency, Congress 
        and the responsible agency should fund the TARS 
        program; and
          (2) Congress and the responsible agency should take 
        all appropriate steps to ensure that the eight current 
        tethered aerostat systems are fully functional and, in 
        particular, to ensure that the TARS program is 
        providing coverage to protect jurisdictions of the 
        United States in the Caribbean region, as well as 
        jurisdictions of the United States along the United 
        States-Mexico border and in the Florida Straits.

SEC. 10__. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON RECOGNIZING AIR MOBILITY COMMAND ON ITS 
                    20TH ANNIVERSARY.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) On June 1, 1992, Air Mobility Command was 
        established as the Air Force's functional command for 
        cargo and passenger delivery, air refueling, and 
        aeromedical evacuation.
          (2) As the lead Major Command for all Mobility Air 
        Forces, Air Mobility Command ensures that the Air 
        Force's core functions of global vigilance, power, and 
        reach are fulfilled.
          (3) The ability of the United States to rapidly 
        respond to humanitarian disasters and the outbreak of 
        hostilities anywhere in the world truly defines the 
        United States as a global power.
          (4) Mobility Air Forces Airmen are unified by one 
        single purpose: to answer the call of others so they 
        may prevail.
          (5) The United States' hand of friendship to the 
        world many times takes the form of Mobility Air Forces 
        aircraft delivering humanitarian relief. Since its 
        inception, Air Mobility Command has provided forces for 
        43 humanitarian relief efforts at home and abroad, from 
        New Orleans, Louisiana, to Bam, Iran.
          (6) A Mobility Air Forces aircraft departs every 2 
        minutes, 365 days a year. Since September 11, 2001, 
        Mobility Air Forces aircraft have flown 18.9 million 
        passengers, 6.8 million tons of cargo, and offloaded 
        2.2 billion pounds of fuel. Many of these flights have 
        assisted combat aircraft protection United States 
        forces from overhead.
          (7) The United States keeps its solemn promise to its 
        men and women in uniform with Air Mobility Command, 
        accomplishing 186,940 patient movements since the 
        beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
          (8) Mobility Air Forces Airmen reflect the best 
        values of the Nation: delivering hope, saving lives, 
        and fueling the fight.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, on 
the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of 
Air Mobility Command, the people of the United States should--
          (1) recognize the critical role that Mobility Air 
        Forces play in the Nation's defense; and
          (2) express appreciation for the leadership of Air 
        Mobility Command and the more than 134,000 active-duty, 
        Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Department 
        of Defense civilians that make up the command.

        increase security cooperation, and expand joint 
        military exercises.
          (8) Encourage an expanded role for Israel within the 
        North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including an 
        enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises.

        unbroken record of repaying its loans on time and in 
        full.

                        including their ability to recruit and 
                        retain top scientists and engineers;

                        related nuclear missions.
