2 OHIO-CLASS BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINE 

3 REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. 

4 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

5 (1) On May 13, 2010, the President submitted 

6 to Congress the report required under section 1251 

7 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

8 Year 2010 (Public Law 111–84; 123 Stat. 2549) 

9 that stated, ‘‘The Secretary of Defense, based on 

10 recommendations from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has 

11 established a baseline nuclear force structure that 

12 fully supports U.S. security requirements and con13 forms to the New START limits. . . The United 

14 States will reduce the number of SLBM launchers 

15 (launch tubes) from 24 to 20 per SSBN, and deploy 

16 no more than 240 SLBMs at any time.’’. 

17 (2) On January 10, 2011, the Under Secretary 

18 of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logis19 tics issued an acquisition decision memorandum for 

20 the Ohio-class submarine replacement program 

21 whereby the Navy received Milestone A approval to 

22 proceed with a replacement design based on 16 mis23 sile tubes. 

24 (3) Consistent with the reductions and limita25 tions established in the New START Treaty, which 

26 entered into force on February 5, 2011, more than 
56 

•HR 1540 EH

1 two-thirds of the deployed nuclear deterrent force of 

2 the United States are planned to be carried on bal3 listic missile submarines. 

4 (4) The Commander of the United States Stra5 tegic Command testified on March 2, 2011, that, 

6 ‘‘The issue of the number of tubes is not a simple 

7 black and white answer,’’ but rather it is comprised 

8 of several issues including, ‘‘the overall number of 

9 tubes we wind up with at the end. . . flexibility and 

10 options with how many warheads per missile per 

11 tube. . . the overall number of boats. . . and many 

12 other factors.’’. He further stated that, ‘‘Sixteen 

13 [missile tubes per submarine] will meet 

14 STRATCOM’s requirements, given that we are sit15 ting here 20 years in advance.’’. 

16 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con17 gress that— 

18 (1) the long-term ability of the United States to 

19 maintain a nuclear force sufficient to address the 

20 range of mission requirements necessary to deter, 

21 dissuade, and defeat potential adversaries and as22 sure allies and partners must not be comprised sole23 ly on the basis of the promise of potential cost sav24 ings resulting from the decision of the Secretary of 

25 Defense to reduce the planned number of missile 
57 

•HR 1540 EH

1 tubes per Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine from 

2 24 to 16; and 

3 (2) because the planned Ohio-class replacement 

4 ballistic submarine is expected to be in operation 

5 through 2080, near-term design decisions should 

6 take into consideration uncertainties in the future 

7 threat and strategic environment.

17 SEC. 233. HOMELAND DEFENSE HEDGING POLICY AND 

18 STRATEGY. 

19 (a) POLICY.—It is the policy of the United States to 

20 develop and maintain a hedging strategy to provide for 

21 the protection of the homeland of the United States that— 

22 (1) provides such protection through the 

23 phased, adaptive approach to missile defense in Eu24 rope if— 
83 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (A) the intercontinental ballistic missile 

2 threat from the Middle East to the United 

3 States materializes earlier than 2020 (the year 

4 in which phase four of the phased, adaptive ap5 proach is planned to begin protecting the home6 land of the United States); or

9 block IIB interceptor planned for fielding in 

10 Europe by 2020 in order to protect the home11 land of the United States as part of such phase 

12 four; 

13 (2) provides such protection if the interconti14 nental ballistic missile threat from East Asia to the 

15 United States materializes more rapidly than ex16 pected; 

17 (3) provides capabilities that improve or en18 hance the protection of the United States beyond the 

19 ground-based midcourse defense capabilities cur20 rently deployed for the defense of the United States; 

21 and 

22 (4) includes plans for ensuring that such hedg23 ing capabilities described in paragraphs (1) through 

24 (3)— 
84 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (A) are suitable to perform the assigned 

2 mission; 

3 (B) are operationally effective; and 

4 (C) use technologies that are sufficiently 

5 matured and tested prior to fielding. 

6 (b) STRATEGY.— 

7 (1) IN GENERAL.—In light of the policy de8 scribed in subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense 

9 shall develop a hedging strategy to provide for the

14 SEC. 234. GROUND-BASED MIDCOURSE DEFENSE SYSTEM. 

15 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

16 (1) The last two intercept flight tests of the 

17 ground-based midcourse defense system in January 

18 2010 and December 2010 failed to intercept, and in 

19 January 2011, the Director of the Missile Defense 

20 Agency halted deliveries of completed exo-atmos21 pheric kill vehicles until the root cause of such fail22 ures is determined and resolved. 

23 (2) The ground-based midcourse defense system 

24 is currently the only missile defense system that pro-
86 

•HR 1540 EH

1 tects the homeland of the United States from long2 range ballistic missile threats. 

3 (3) In the fiscal year 2010 budget request, the 

4 ground-based midcourse defense system element was 

5 reduced by $524,600,000 from the fiscal year 2009 

6 level while the fiscal year 2011 budget request re7 stored $318,800,000 of this funding. 

8 (4) The fiscal year 2012 budget request further 

9 reduces the ground-based midcourse defense system 

10 element by $185,000,000 for fiscal year 2012 and 

11 further reduces such element by an additional 

12 $1,000,000,000 for the years covering the future13 years defense program from the amount projected in 

14 the fiscal year 2011 budget request. 

15 (5) According to the Missile Defense Agency, 

16 the combination of the two flight-test failures and 

17 operating under the reduced spending limits of the 

18 Continuing Resolutions during fiscal year 2011 be19 fore the date on which the Department of Defense 

20 and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 

21 (Public Law 112–10) was enacted have resulted in 

22 the delay or restructuring of several activities within 

23 the ground-based midcourse defense system element, 

24 including— 
87 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (A) delays to ground-based interceptor 

2 manufacturing and fleet upgrades; 

3 (B) Stockpile Reliability Program compo4 nent testing; 

5 (C) new capability development, modeling, 

6 testing, and fielding; 

7 (D) Fort Greely missile defense complex 

8 communications upgrades; and 

9 (E) delays to flight testing of the two-stage 

10 ground-based interceptor. 

11 (6) According to the Missile Defense Agency 

12 and the United States Northern Command, the pro13 curement of additional ground-based interceptors 

14 will be necessary in light of the recent flight-test re15 sults. 

16 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con17 gress that the ground-based midcourse defense system is 

18 currently the only missile defense system that protects the 

19 homeland of the United States from long-range ballistic 

20 missile threats and therefore— 

21 (1) the system should be given sufficient 

22 prioritization and funding to ensure its long-term re23 liability, effectiveness, and ability to adapt to ad24 vances in such threats; 
88 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (2) the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 

2 should thoroughly identify the root cause associated 

3 with the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle that led to the 

4 flight-test failures described in subsection (a)(1) and 

5 identify other potential technical issues associated 

6 with the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle or ground-based 

7 midcourse defense system that have materialized in 

8 recent testing; 

9 (3) implementation of corrective measures and 

10 flight testing should be undertaken as soon as pos11 sible to provide commanders of the combatant com12 mands and the American people greater confidence 

13 in the reliability and effectiveness of the system; and 

14 (4) the procurement of additional ground-based 

15 interceptors will be necessary in light of recent 

16 flight-test results. 

17 (c) PLAN AND CERTIFICATION REQUIRED.—Not 

18 later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this 

19 Act, or on the date on which the Failure Review Board 

20 has completed the review of the ground-based midcourse 

21 defense system flight-test failures described in subsection 

22 (a)(1), whichever is later, the Secretary of Defense shall 

23 submit to the congressional defense committees the fol24 lowing: 
89 

•HR 1540 EH

1 SEC. 333. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING INTEGRATION 

2 OF BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE TRAINING 

3 ACROSS AND BETWEEN COMBATANT COM4 MANDS AND MILITARY SERVICES. 

5 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that ballistic missile 

6 defense is an inherently joint operation that requires close 

7 coordination between combatant commands and military 

8 services at all levels, from the strategic to the operational 

9 to the tactical. Since the time available to identify, track, 

10 and intercept ballistic missiles will be less than 30 min11 utes, joint training to improve the ability of the military 

12 departments and combatant commands to work together 

13 is essential for successfully planning and conducting bal14 listic missile defense operations. Congress has previously 

15 expressed concern that gaps in joint missile defense train16 ing, from the lowest sensor or shooter operator level to 

17 the highest levels of decision-making on combatant com18 mand staffs, must be identified and rectified. 

19 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con20 gress that— 

21 (1) improving the integration of ballistic missile 

22 defense training across and between combatant com23 mands and military services and fully identifying the 

24 training requirements, capabilities, and resources 

25 that the Department of Defense needs to effectively 

26 train for this complex mission is vital to the protec-
136 

•HR 1540 EH

1 tion of the United States against ballistic missile at2 tacks; 

3 (2) identifying and addressing training gaps in 

4 integrating missile defense training is essential for 

5 successfully employing the Ballistic Missile Defense 

6 System; and 

7 (3) identifying the capabilities and funding 

8 needed to effectively and adequately integrate train9 ing across and between the combatant commands 

10 and military services is important to ensure that 

11 training priorities are being met and that resources 

12 are aligned to support the training.

3 SEC. 368. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PROPOSED FEDERAL 

4 AVIATION ADMINISTRATION CHANGES TO 

5 FLIGHT CREW MEMBER DUTY AND REST RE6 QUIREMENTS. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find8 ings: 

9 (1) Section 212 of the Airline Safety and Fed10 eral Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 

11 (Public Law 111–216; 49 U.S.C. 44701 note) di12 rected the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Ad13 ministration to issue regulations, based on the best 

14 available scientific information, to specify limitations 

15 on the hours of flight and duty time allowed for pi16 lots to address problems relating to pilot fatigue. 

17 (2) On September 14, 2010, the Federal Avia18 tion Administration issued a Notice of Proposed 

19 Rulemaking titled ‘‘Flightcrew Member Duty and 

20 Rest Requirements’’. 

21 (3) Between March 2010 and March 2011, the 

22 Air Mobility Command and its Civil Reserve Air 

23 Fleet partners airlifted more than 2,000,000 pas24 sengers and 848,000 tons of cargo around the world 
160 

•HR 1540 EH

1 in support of the missions of the Department of De2 fense. 

3 (4) An Air Force Institute of Technology study 

4 titled ‘‘Civil Reserve Airlift Fleet (CRAF) Crew Rest 

5 Study’’ analyzed 2264 missions flown by Civil Re6 serve Air Fleet carriers under contract with the De7 partment of Defense between May and September 

8 2011, and concluded that over 80 percent of those 

9 missions may have been infeasible had the proposed 

10 rule referred to in paragraph (2) been in effect dur11 ing such period. 

12 (5) On February 15, 2011, General Duncan J. 

13 McNabb, Commander of the United States Trans14 portation Command, wrote to the Administrator of 

15 the Federal Aviation Administration expressing sig16 nificant concern about the proposed rule change and 

17 stating that the Operational Risk Management ap18 proach of the United States Transportation Com19 mand mitigated operational hazards and included 

20 ‘‘reasonable measures to reduce risk to personnel, 

21 equipment and the mission’’. In the letter, General 

22 McNabb noted that he believes there is room for 

23 proper exceptions to the proposed rule and went on 

24 to write that ‘‘through cooperation, we can develop 

25 mutually acceptable guidelines that not only mitigate 
161 

•HR 1540 EH

1 the impact of crew fatigue, but afford all carriers 

2 the flexibility to implement safer aircrew processes’’. 

3 (6) The United States Transportation Com4 mand is relying heavily on the Civil Reserve Air 

5 Fleet as a critical partner as they effectively and ef6 ficiently deploy and sustain the warfighter in simul7 taneous operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya 

8 and in relief operations in Japan. 

9 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con10 gress that— 

11 (1) when faced with immediate and long-term 

12 world events, the superb team of the United States 

13 Transportation Command successfully overcomes 

14 many obstacles to support the national security ob15 jectives of the United States with world-class logis16 tics and the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program is one 

17 of the major reasons they deliver both combat power 

18 and humanitarian relief on time, on target, and at 

19 best value to the taxpayer; 

20 (2) the Administrator of the Federal Aviation 

21 Administration should make every effort to ensure 

22 that any changes to guidelines, regulations, and 

23 rules of the Federal Aviation Administration, includ24 ing changes to the Flightcrew Member Duty and 

25 Rest Requirements, fully consider the impact of such 
162 

•HR 1540 EH

1 changes on Civil Reserve Air Fleet carriers, the 

2 United States Transportation Command, and the 

3 Department of Defense; and 

4 (3) the Administrator of the Federal Aviation 

5 Administration, in consultation with the Commander 

6 of the United States Transportation Command, 

7 should develop guidelines that address not only crew 

8 fatigue, but also enhance safety while minimizing the 

9 impact on the mission of the United States Trans10 portation Command and the Department of Defense. 

11 SEC. 369. POLICY ON ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING FOR CER12 TAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL. 

13 The Secretary of Defense shall establish policy and 

14 promulgate guidelines to ensure civilian and military law 

15 enforcement personnel charged with security functions on 

16 military installations shall receive Active Shooter Training 

17 as described in finding 4.3 of the document entitled ‘‘Pro18 tecting the Force: Lessons From Fort Hood’’. 

19 SEC. 370. ASSISTANCE FOR HOMELAND DEFENSE MISSION 

20 TRAINING. 

21 (a) ASSISTANCE AUTHORIZED.—Chapter 9 of title

23 the following new section: 
163 

•HR 1540 EH

1 ‘‘§ 909. Training assistance

8 Federal Emergency Management Agency as capable of 

9 providing emergency response training. 

10 ‘‘(b) MERIT-BASED OR COMPETITIVE DECISIONS.— 

11 A decision to commit, obligate, or expend funds under sub12 section (a) with or to a specific entity shall—

23 ‘‘(1) Section 8 (clauses 12, 13, and 14) of Arti24 cle I of the Constitution of the United States com25 mits exclusively to Congress the powers to raise and 
186 

•HR 1540 EH

1 support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and 

2 make rules for the government and regulation of the 

3 land and naval forces. 

4 ‘‘(2) There is no constitutional right to serve in 

5 the armed forces. 

6 ‘‘(3) Pursuant to the powers conferred by sec7 tion 8 of article I of the Constitution of the United 

8 States, it lies within the discretion of the Congress 

9 to establish qualifications for and conditions of serv10 ice in the armed forces. 

11 ‘‘(4) The primary purpose of the armed forces 

12 is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the 

13 need arise. 

14 ‘‘(5) The conduct of military operations re15 quires members of the armed forces to make ex16 traordinary sacrifices, including the ultimate sac17 rifice, in order to provide for the common defense. 

18 ‘‘(6) Success in combat requires military units 

19 that are characterized by high morale, good order 

20 and discipline, and unit cohesion. 

21 ‘‘(7) One of the most critical elements in com22 bat capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of 

23 trust among individual service members that make 

24 the combat effectiveness of a military unit greater 
187 

•HR 1540 EH

1 than the sum of the combat effectiveness of the indi2 vidual unit members. 

3 ‘‘(8) Military life is fundamentally different 

4 from civilian life in that— 

5 ‘‘(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of 

6 the armed forces, the unique conditions of mili7 tary service, and the critical role of unit cohe8 sion, require that the military community, while 

9 subject to civilian control, exist as a specialized 

10 society; and 

11 ‘‘(B) the military society is characterized 

12 by its own laws, rules, customs, and traditions, 

13 including numerous restrictions on personal be14 havior, that would not be acceptable in civilian 

15 society. 

16 ‘‘(9) The standards of conduct for members of 

17 the armed forces regulate a member’s life for 24 

18 hours each day beginning at the moment the mem19 ber enters military status and not ending until that 

20 person is discharged or otherwise separated from the 

21 armed forces. 

22 ‘‘(10) Those standards of conduct, including the 

23 Uniform Code of Military Justice, apply to a mem24 ber of the armed forces at all times that the member 

25 has a military status, whether the member is on 
188 

•HR 1540 EH

1 base or off base, and whether the member is on duty 

2 or off duty. 

3 ‘‘(11) The pervasive application of the stand4 ards of conduct is necessary because members of the 

5 armed forces must be ready at all times for world6 wide deployment to a combat environment. 

7 ‘‘(12) The worldwide deployment of United 

8 States military forces, the international responsibil9 ities of the United States, and the potential for in10 volvement of the armed forces in actual combat rou11 tinely make it necessary for members of the armed 

12 forces involuntarily to accept living conditions and 

13 working conditions that are often spartan, primitive, 

14 and characterized by forced intimacy with little or 

15 no privacy. 

16 ‘‘(13) The armed forces must maintain per17 sonnel policies that are intended to recruit and re18 tain only those persons whose presence in the armed 

19 forces serve the needs of the armed forces, con20 tribute to the accomplishment of the missions of the 

21 armed forces, and maintain the armed forces’ high

3 SEC. 596. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PLAYING OF 

4 BUGLE CALL COMMONLY KNOWN AS ‘‘TAPS’’ 

5 AT MILITARY FUNERALS, MEMORIAL SERV6 ICES, AND WREATH LAYING CEREMONIES. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find8 ings: 

9 (1) The bugle call commonly known as ‘‘Taps’’ 

10 is known throughout the United States as part of 

11 the military honors accorded at funerals, memorial 

12 services, and wreath ceremonies held for members of 

13 the uniformed services and veterans. 

14 (2) In July 1862, following the Seven Days 

15 Battles, Union General Daniel Butterfield and bu16 gler Oliver Willcox Norton created ‘‘Taps’’ at Berk17 ley Plantation, Virginia, as a way to signal the end 

18 of daily military activities. 

19 (3) ‘‘Taps’’ is now established by the uniformed 

20 services as the last call of the day and is sounded 

21 at the completion of a military funeral. 

22 (4) ‘‘Taps’’ has become the signature, solemn 

23 musical farewell for members of the uniformed serv24 ices and veterans who have faithfully served the 

25 United States during times of war and peace. 
322 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (5) Over its almost 150 years of use, ‘‘Taps’’ 

2 has been woven into the historical fabric of the 

3 United States. 

4 (6) When sounded, ‘‘Taps’’ summons emotions 

5 of loss, pride, honor, and respect and encourages 

6 Americans to remember patriots who served the 

7 United States with honor and valor. 

8 (7) The 150th anniversary of the writing of 

9 ‘‘Taps’’ will be observed with events culminating in 

10 June 2012 with a rededication of the Taps Monu11 ment at Berkley Plantation, Virginia. 

12 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con13 gress that at a military funeral, memorial service, or 

14 wreath laying, the bugle call commonly known as ‘‘Taps’’, 

15 consisting of 24 notes sounded on a bugle or trumpet, 

16 should be sounded by a live solo bugler or trumpeter when 

17 such arrangements are possible. 

18 SEC. 597. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING SUPPORT FOR 

19 YELLOW RIBBON DAY. 

20 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find21 ings: 

22 (1) The hopes and prayers of the American peo23 ple for the safe return of members of the Armed 

24 Forces serving overseas are demonstrated through 

25 the proud display of yellow ribbons. 
323 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (2) The designation of a ‘‘Yellow Ribbon Day’’ 

2 would serve as an additional reminder for all Ameri3 cans of the continued sacrifice of members of the 

4 Armed Forces. 

5 (3) Yellow Ribbon Day would also recognize the 

6 history and meaning of the Yellow Ribbon as the 

7 symbol of support for members of the Armed 

8 Forces. 

9 (4) Yellow Ribbon Day would also signify a 

10 tribute and remembrance to all Prisoners of War 

11 and a fervent hope for the safe return and full ac12 counting of all members of the Armed Forces who 

13 are Missing in Action. 

14 (5) April 9th would be an appropriate day to 

15 designate as Yellow Ribbon Day as it was on April 

16 9, 2004, that Staff Sergeant Matt Maupin became 

17 the first Prisoner of War of Operation Iraqi Free18 dom. 

19 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress supports the 

20 goals and ideals of Yellow Ribbon Day in honor of mem21 bers of the Armed Forces who are serving overseas apart 

22 from their families and loved ones.

14 DENY SAFE HAVENS TO AL-QAEDA AND ITS 

15 VIOLENT EXTREMIST AFFILIATES. 

16 (a) PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.— 

17 (1) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section is 

18 to improve interagency strategic planning and execu19 tion to more effectively integrate efforts to deny safe 

20 havens and strengthen at-risk states to further the

25 findings: 
595 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (A) In Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas 

2 where stabilization operations are carried out, 

3 the lack of an integrated, coordinated planning 

4 effort in which the goals, objectives, and prior5 ities of the United States effort and the roles 

6 and missions of the various agencies of the 

7 United States were clearly delineated has ham8 pered the efforts of the United States in such 

9 operations and may have contributed to in10 creased costs in funding, time, effort, and other 

11 terms. 

12 (B) The fight against al-Qaeda and its vio13 lent extremist affiliates, and the threat to the 

14 United States by transnational terrorism, will 

15 continue for the foreseeable future. 

16 (C) A key component of success in the 

17 struggle against al-Qaeda and its violent ex18 tremist affiliates is the ability to deny safe ha19 vens to al-Qaeda, its violent extremist affiliates, 

20 and other violent extremist organizations, and 

21 United States national security interests will 

22 sometimes require the United States to assist in 

23 building the capabilities of other countries and 

24 entities to deny such violent extremist organiza25 tions safe havens and to participate in regional

2 mission vital to the interests of National Security 

3 and while over the eastern Antarctica coastline 

4 known as the Phantom Coast, the PBM–5 Martin 

5 Mariner ‘‘Flying Boat’’ ‘‘George 1’’ entered a 

6 whiteout over Thurston Island. As the pilot at7 tempted to climb, the aircraft grazed the glacier’s 

8 ridgeline and exploded within 5 seconds instantly 

9 killing Ensign Maxwell Lopez, Navigator and Wen10 dell ‘‘Bud’’ Hendersin, Aviation Machinists Mate 1st 

11 Class while Frederick Williams, Aviation Radioman

16 the desecration of Antarctic scavenging birds 

17 (Skuas) by the surviving crew wrapping the bodies 

18 and temporarily burying the men under the star19 board wing engine nacelle. 

20 (5) Rescue requirements of the ‘‘George-1’’ sur21 vivors forced the abandonment of their crewmates’ 

22 bodies. 

23 (6) Conditions prior to the departure of Task 

24 Force 68 precluded a return to the area to the re25 cover the bodies. 
689

14 (18) The policies and laws of the United States 

15 of America require that our armed service personnel 

16 be repatriated. 

17 (19) The fullest possible accounting of United 

18 States fallen military personnel means repatriating 

19 living American POWs and MIAs, accounting for, 

20 identifying, and recovering the remains of military

19 SEC. 1099K. OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF SALEM, MASSA20 CHUSETTS, AS THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE NA21 TIONAL GUARD OF THE UNITED STATES. 

22 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find23 ings: 
700 

•HR 1540 EH

1 (1) In 1629, Captain John Endicott organized 

2 the first militia in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 

3 Salem. 

4 (2) The colonists had adopted the English mili5 tia system, which required all males between the 

6 ages of 16 and 60 to possess arms and participate 

7 in the defense of the community. 

8 (3) In 1636, the Massachusetts General Court 

9 ordered the organization of three militia regiments, 

10 designated as the North, South, and East regiments. 

11 (4) These regiments drilled once a week and 

12 provided guard details each evening to sound the 

13 alarm in case of attack. 

14 (5) The East Regiment, the predecessor of the 

15 101st Engineer Battalion, assembled as a regiment 

16 for the first time in 1637 on the Salem Common, 

17 marking the beginning of the Massachusetts Na18 tional Guard and the National Guard of the United 

19 States. 

20 (6) Since 1785, Salem’s own Second Corps of 

21 Cadets (101st and 102nd Field Artillery) has cele22 brated the anniversary of that first muster. 

23 (7) As the policy contained in section 102 of 

24 title 32, United States Code, clearly expresses, the 

25 National Guard continues its historic mission of pro-
701 

•HR 1540 EH

1 viding units for the first line defense of the United 

2 States and current missions throughout the world. 

3 (8) The designation of the City of Salem, Mas4 sachusetts, as the Birthplace of the National Guard 

5 of the United States will contribute positively to 

6 tourism and economic development in the city, create 

7 jobs, and instill pride in both the local and State 

8 communities. 

9 (b) RECOGNITION.—Section 102 of title 32, United 

10 States Code, is amended— 

11 (1) by striking ‘‘In accordance’’ and inserting 

12 ‘‘(a) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—In accordance’’; and 

13 (2) by adding at the end the following new sub14 section: 

15 ‘‘(b) RECOGNITION OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS, AS

16 NATIONAL GUARD BIRTHPLACE.—The City of Salem, 

17 Massachusetts, the site of the first muster of a militia 

18 regiment in 1637 in what became the United States, is 

19 hereby recognized as the Birthplace of the National Guard 

20 of the United States.’’. 

21 SEC. 1099L. REPORT ON THE MANUFACTURING POLICY OF 

22 THE UNITED STATES. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

24 (1) For many years, manufacturing has been 

25 the backbone of the United States economy, leading 
702 

•HR 1540 EH

1 to good jobs, technological innovation, and the pro2 duction of high quality commodities. 

3 (2) In addition, the superiority of the United 

4 States manufacturing industry ensured a reliable 

5 supply of raw and finished goods to support the de6 fense and security operations of the United States 

7 Government. 

8 (3) Over the past few decades, the manufac9 turing industry of the United States and the jobs as10 sociated with it have suffered a dramatic decline as 

11 manufacturing processes have been outsourced to 

12 foreign nations. 

13 (4) This decrease in domestic manufacturing 

14 capability has forced the Department of Defense to 

15 acquire supplies and materials necessary for the na16 tional defense from foreign companies and govern17 ments, thereby subjecting the critical defense needs 

18 of the United States to geopolitical forces beyond its 

19 control. 

20 (b) SUBMISSION TO CONGRESS OF REPORT ON THE

21 MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY OF THE UNITED STATES.— 

22 (1) SUBMISSION REQUIRED.—The Secretary of

15 most dependent on a single oil or natural gas 

16 supplier or distribution network to avoid such

19 European countries access to the spot market 

20 for natural gas in the event of a supply inter21 ruption.

21 MISSILE DEFENSE. 

22 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

23 (1) Prior to signing the New START Treaty, 

24 on April 7, 2010, the Russian Federation made the 

25 unilateral statement that ‘‘the Treaty can operate 
779 

•HR 1540 EH

1 and be viable only if the United States of America 

2 refrains from developing its missile defense capabili3 ties quantitatively or qualitatively.’’. 

4 (2) In the understanding under subsection 

5 (b)(1)(A) of the Resolution of Advice and Consent to 

6 Ratification of the New START Treaty, the Senate 

7 declared that ‘‘the New START Treaty does not im8 pose any limitations on the deployment of missile de9 fenses other than the requirements of paragraph 3 

10 of Article V of the New START Treaty. . .’’. 

11 (3) In the understanding under subsection 

12 (b)(1)(B) of such resolution, the Senate further de13 clared that ‘‘any additional New START Treaty lim14 itations on the deployment of missile defenses be15 yond those contained in paragraph 3 of Article V, 

16 including any limitations agreed under the auspices 

17 of the Bilateral Consultative Commission, would re18 quire an amendment to the New START Treaty 

19 which may enter into force for the United States 

20 only with the advice and consent of the Senate, as 

21 set forth in Article II, section 2, clause 2 of the Con22 stitution of the United States.’’. 

23 (4) In the understanding under subsection 

24 (b)(1)(C) of such resolution, the Senate further de25 clared that ‘‘the April 7, 2010, unilateral statement 
780 

•HR 1540 EH

1 by the Russian Federation on missile defense does 

2 not impose a legal obligation on the United States.’’. 

3 (5) In the declaration under subsection 

4 (c)(2)(F) of such resolution, the Senate further de5 clared that ‘‘the United States is committed to im6 proving United States strategic defensive capabilities 

7 both quantitatively and qualitatively during the pe8 riod that the New START Treaty is in effect, and 

9 such improvements are consistent with the Treaty.’’. 

10 (b) POLICY.—In light of the findings under sub11 section (a), it is the policy of the United States— 

12 (1) that any further limitations on the missile 

13 defense capabilities of the United States are not in 

14 the national security interests of the United States; 

15 (2) to improve the strategic defensive capabili16 ties of the United States both quantitatively and 

17 qualitatively during the period that the New START 

18 treaty is in effect and such improvements are con19 sistent with the Treaty; and 

20 (3) that no future agreement with Russia on 

21 cooperative missile defense, non-strategic nuclear 

22 weapons, further strategic weapons reductions, or 

23 any other matter shall include any restrictions on 

24 the missile defense options of the United States in
