5 in no way obviate the prime contractor’s re6 sponsibility for successful completion of the con7 tract and management of its subcontractors; 

8 and 

9 (D) that in the judgment of the con10 tracting officer, the overall execution of the 

11 work is impacted by the performance of the

1 Subtitle I—Other Matters 

2 SEC. 891. PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN TELECOMMUNI3 CATIONS SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT. 

4 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find5 ings: 

6 (1) In its 2011 ‘‘Annual Report to Congress on 

7 Military and Security Developments Involving the 

8 People’s Republic of China’’, the Department of De9 fense stated, ‘‘China’s defense industry has benefited 

10 from integration with a rapidly expanding civilian 

11 economy and science and technology sector, particu12 larly elements that have access to foreign technology. 

13 Progress within individual defense sectors appears 

14 linked to the relative integration of each, through 

15 China’s civilian economy, into the global production 

16 and R&D chain . . . Information technology compa17 nies in particular, including Huawei, Datang, and 

18 Zhongxing, maintain close ties to the PLA.’’. 

19 (2) In a 2011 report titled ‘‘The National Secu20 rity Implications of Investments and Products from 

21 the People’s Republic of China in the Telecommuni22 cations Sector’’, the United States China Commis23 sion stated that ‘‘[n]ational security concerns have 

24 accompanied the dramatic growth of China’s telecom 

25 sector. . . . Additionally, large Chinese companies— 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
382 

•S 2987 PCS

1 particularly those ‘national champions’ prominent in 

2 China’s ‘going out’ strategy of overseas expansion— 

3 are directly subject to direction by the Chinese Com4 munist Party, to include support for PRC state poli5 cies and goals.’’. 

6 (3) The Commission further stated in its report 

7 that ‘‘[f]rom this point of view, the clear economic 

8 benefits of foreign investment in the U.S. must be 

9 weighed against the potential security concerns re10 lated to infrastructure components coming under the 

11 control of foreign entities. This seems particularly 

12 applicable in the telecommunications industry, as 

13 Chinese companies continue systematically to ac14 quire significant holdings in prominent global and 

15 U.S. telecommunications and information technology 

16 companies.’’. 

17 (4) In its 2011 Annual Report to Congress, the 

18 United States China Commission stated that ‘‘[t]he 

19 extent of the state’s control of the Chinese economy 

20 is difficult to quantify . . . There is also a category 

21 of companies that, though claiming to be private, are 

22 subject to state influence. Such companies are often 

23 in new markets with no established SOE leaders and 

24 enjoy favorable government policies that support 

25 their development while posing obstacles to foreign 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
383 

•S 2987 PCS

1 competition. Examples include Chinese telecoms 

2 giant Huawei and such automotive companies as 

3 battery maker BYD and vehicle manufacturers 

4 Geely and Chery.’’. 

5 (5) General Michael Hayden, who served as Di6 rector of the Central Intelligence Agency and Direc7 tor of the National Security Agency, stated in July 

8 2013 that Huawei had ‘‘shared with the Chinese 

9 state intimate and extensive knowledge of foreign 

10 telecommunications systems it is involved with’’. 

11 (6) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a 

12 February 2015 Counterintelligence Strategy Part13 nership Intelligence Note stated that, ‘‘[w]ith the ex14 panded use of Huawei Technologies Inc. equipment 

15 and services in U.S. telecommunications service pro16 vider networks, the Chinese Government’s potential 

17 access to U.S. business communications is dramati18 cally increasing. Chinese Government-supported tele19 communications equipment on U.S. networks may be 

20 exploited through Chinese cyber activity, with Chi21 na’s intelligence services operating as an advanced 

22 persistent threat to U.S. networks.’’. 

23 (7) The FBI further stated in its February 

24 2015 counterintelligence note that ‘‘China makes no 

25 secret that its cyber warfare strategy is predicated

1 on controlling global communications network infra2 structure’’. 

3 (8) At a hearing before the Committee on 

4 Armed Services of the House of Representatives on 

5 September 30, 2015, Deputy Secretary of Defense 

6 Robert Work, responding to a question about the 

7 use of Huawei telecommunications equipment, stat8 ed, ‘‘In the Office of the Secretary of Defense, abso9 lutely not. And I know of no other—I don’t believe 

10 we operate in the Pentagon, any [Huawei] systems 

11 in the Pentagon.’’. 

12 (9) At that hearing, the Commander of the 

13 United States Cyber Command, Admiral Mike Rog14 ers, responding to a question about why such 

15 Huawei telecommunications equipment is not used, 

16 stated, ‘‘As we look at supply chain and we look at 

17 potential vulnerabilities within the system, that it is 

18 a risk we felt was unacceptable.’’. 

19 (10) In March 2017, ZTE Corporation pled 

20 guilty to conspiring to violate the International 

21 Emergency Economic Powers Act by illegally ship22 ping U.S.-origin items to Iran, paying the United 

23 States Government a penalty of $892,360,064 for 

24 activity between January 2010 and January 2016.

1 (11) The Department of the Treasury’s Office 

2 of Foreign Assets Control issued a subpoena to 

3 Huawei as part of a Federal investigation of alleged 

4 violations of trade restrictions on Cuba, Iran, Sudan, 

5 and Syria. 

6 (12) In the bipartisan ‘‘Investigative Report on 

7 the United States National Security Issues Posed by 

8 Chinese Telecommunication Companies Huawei and 

9 ZTE’’ released in 2012 by the Permanent Select 

10 Committee on Intelligence of the House of Rep11 resentatives, it was recommended that ‘‘U.S. govern12 ment systems, particularly sensitive systems, should 

13 not include Huawei or ZTE equipment, including in 

14 component parts. Similarly, government contrac15 tors—particularly those working on contracts for 

16 sensitive U.S. programs—should exclude ZTE or 

17 Huawei equipment in their systems.’’. 

18 (b) PROHIBITION ON USE OR PROCUREMENT.—The 

19 Secretary of Defense may not— 

20 (1) procure or obtain or extend or renew a con21 tract to procure or obtain any equipment, system, or

1 competition, the erosion of the United States mili2 tary technological advantage, enduring violent extre3 mism and instability in the broader Middle East and 

4 Africa, and continued uncertainty in the United 

5 States about the availability of sufficient resources 

6 for national defense; 

7 (2) the National Defense Strategy correctly 

8 prioritizes the development of a more lethal joint 

9 force that is ready to deter and, if necessary, defeat 

10 aggression by great power competitors with ad11 vanced military capabilities, while conducting 

12 counterterrorism operations in a more sustainable 

13 manner, together with allies and partners; 

14 (3) the National Defense Strategy, and the im15 plications of the Strategy for the size, structure, 

16 shape, roles, missions, and employment of the joint 

17 force, was not completed in time to inform fully the 

18 budget of the President for national defense for fis19 cal year 2019; 

20 (4) many Department of Defense programs of 

21 record are upgraded replacements of legacy systems 

22 that were not premised on the assumption that fu23 ture conflict could occur in highly-contested environ24 ments against militarily advanced near-peer rivals; 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
480 

•S 2987 PCS

1 (5) considerable growth in the size of the mili2 tary will not be possible without growth in the budg3 et, because the current future-years defense program 

4 assumes that defense spending after fiscal year 2019 

5 will only increase at the rate of inflation, while costs 

6 for two of the largest drivers of costs for the Depart7 ment, namely military personnel and operation and 

8 maintenance, continue to grow faster than the rate 

9 of inflation; 

10 (6) the Senate strongly supports the pursuit by 

11 the Department of budgetary savings through inter12 nal reform and efficiencies, but notes that previous 

13 attempts to generate additional resources through 

14 such mechanisms did not generate resources as 

15 planned; 

16 (7) increased force modernization investments 

17 must be based on a rigorous reassessment of wheth18 er current programs will meet present and future 

19 warfighting requirements against near-peer rivals

17 FORCES ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA. 

18 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following 

19 findings: 

20 (1) On June 25, 1950, the Democratic People’s 

21 Republic of Korea (DPRK), under the rule of Kim 

22 Il-sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong-un, launched 

23 a surprise attack against forces from the Republic of 

24 Korea (South Korea) and small contingent of United 

25 States forces, thus beginning the Korean War.

•S 2987 PCS

1 (2) In June and July of 1950, the United Na2 tions Security Council adopted Resolutions 82, 83, 

3 and 84 calling for the Democratic People’s Republic 

4 of Korea to cease hostilities and withdraw, to rec5 ommend that United Nations member nations pro6 vide forces to repel the Democratic People’s Repub7 lic of Korea attack, and stating any forces provided 

8 should be unified under the command of the United 

9 States, respectively. 

10 (3) Fighting as part of a 1,000,000-strong, 22- 

11 nation United Nations force, 36,574 members of the 

12 United States Armed Forces and 137,899 members 

13 of the South Korean military lost their lives during 

14 the three years of armed hostilities and brutal con15 flict in the Korean War. 

16 (4) On July 27, 1953, the Democratic People’s 

17 Republic of Korea, Chinese People’s Volunteers, and 

18 the United Nations signed an armistice agreement 

19 ceasing all hostilities in Korea and establishing the 

20 Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). 

21 (5) Since 1953, lawfully-deployed United States 

22 and United Nations forces have remained alongside 

23 their South Korean counterparts, continuing to pro24 tect and defend South Korea and deter aggression 

25 from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

1 (6) As a lasting testament the blood and treas2 ure lost during the Korean War and the strong and 

3 unwavering alliance built from the ashes of the con4 flict, the Korean War Memorial in Washington, Dis5 trict of Columbia, and the War Memorial of Korea 

6 in Seoul, South Korea, prominently display the fol7 lowing inscription: ‘‘Our Nation honors her Sons 

8 and Daughters who answered the call to defend a 

9 Country they never knew and a people they never 

10 met.’’. 

11 (7) The United States maintains a robust, well12 trained, and ready force of approximately 28,500 

13 members of the Armed Forces in South Korea, and 

14 the presence of the members of the Armed Forces 

15 in South Korea demonstrates the continued resolve 

16 and support of the United States for the enduring 

17 United States-South Korean Alliance. 

18 (8) On December 22, 2017, Kim Jong-un stat19 ed, ‘‘The rapid development of [North Korea’s] nu20 clear force is now exerting big influence on the world 

21 political structure and strategic environment.’’. 

22 (9) On January 1, 2018, Kim Jong-un stated 

23 ‘‘The entire United States is within range of our nu24 clear weapons, and a nuclear button is always on my 

25 desk. This is reality, not a threat. This year we

1 should focus on mass producing nuclear warheads 

2 and ballistic missiles for operational deployment.’’. 

3 (10) Despite 11 standalone United Nations Se4 curity Council resolutions against the nuclear and 

5 ballistic missile programs of the Democratic People’s 

6 Republic of Korea, 8 of which passed during the rule 

7 of Kim Jong-un, the Democratic People’s Republic 

8 of Korea has continued to illegally and unlawfully 

9 pursue a long-range, nuclear capability meant to 

10 hold hostage the United States and threaten the se11 curity of the neighbors of the Democratic People’s 

12 Republic of Korea. 

13 (11) The 2017 National Security Strategy 

14 (NSS) states— 

15 (A) ‘‘Our alliance and friendship with 

16 South Korea, forged by the trials of history, is 

17 stronger than ever.’’; 

18 (B) ‘‘Allies and partners magnify our 

19 power . . . [and] together with our allies, part20 ners, and aspiring partners, the United States 

21 will pursue cooperation with reciprocity.’’; and

2 sovereignty . . . and the rule of law.’’. 

3 (12) Secretary of Defense James Mattis stated, 

4 ‘‘Winston Churchill noted that the only thing harder 

5 than fighting with allies is fighting without them. 

6 History proves that we are stronger when we stand 

7 united with others. Accordingly, our military will be 

8 designed, trained, and ready to fight alongside al9 lies.’’. 

10 (13) The 2018 National Defense Strategy 

11 (NDS) states, ‘‘Mutually beneficial alliances and 

12 partnerships are crucial to our strategy, providing a 

13 durable, asymmetric strategic advantage that no 

14 competitor or rival can match . . . [and the United 

15 States] will strengthen and evolve our alliances and 

16 partnerships into an extended network capable of de17 terring or decisively acting to meet the shared chal18 lenges of our time.’’. 

19 (14) The unclassified summary of 2018 NDS, 

20 an 11-page document, mentions the term ‘‘allies’’ or 

21 ‘‘alliances’’ over 50 times. 

22 (15) The 2018 NDS states, ‘‘China is a stra23 tegic competitor using predatory economics to in24 timidate its neighbors . . . [and] it is increasingly

1 sistent with their authoritarian model—gaining veto 

2 authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, 

3 and security decisions.’’. 

4 (16) Foreign policy experts have long contended 

5 that the first priority of the People’s Republic of 

6 China on the Korean Peninsula is to ensure that the 

7 Democratic People’s Republic of Korea remains a 

8 buffer between China and the democratic South 

9 Korea and the United States forces deployed on the 

10 Korean Peninsula. 

11 (17) China continues to provide the Democratic 

12 People’s Republic of Korea with most of its food and 

13 energy supplies and, until recently, accounted for ap14 proximately 90 percent of the total trade volume of 

15 the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. 

16 (18) On June 30, 2017, President Donald 

17 Trump stated, ‘‘Our goal is peace, stability and 

18 prosperity for the region. But the United States will 

19 defend itself, always will defend itself, always, and 

20 we will always defend our allies. As part of that 

21 commitment, we are working together to ensure fair 

22 burden sharing and support of the United States 

23 military presence in Republic of Korea.’’.

5 increasing the defense spending of South Korea dur6 ing his term from the current level 2.4 percent of 

7 the gross domestic product to 2.9 percent of the 

8 gross domestic product. 

9 (21) News reports published in early May 2018 

10 have stated that President Trump asked the Sec11 retary of Defense to provide him with options for re12 moving United States troops from the Korean Pe13 ninsula. 

14 (22) National Security Advisor John Bolton re15 sponded, ‘‘The President has not asked the Pen16 tagon to provide options for reducing American 

17 forces stationed in South Korea.’’. 

18 (23) A spokesman for the Secretary stated, 

19 ‘‘The president has not asked the Pentagon to pro20 vide options for reducing American forces stationed 

21 in South Korea. The Department of Defense’s mis22 sion in South Korea remains the same, and our 

23 force posture has not changed. The Department of

3 allies. We all remain committed to complete,

5 Korean Peninsula.’’. 

6 (b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

7 that— 

8 (1) South Korea is a close friend and ally of the 

9 United States, and the United States-South Korea 

10 alliance is the linchpin of peace and security in the 

11 Indo-Pacific region; 

12 (2) the presence of United States military 

13 forces on the Korean Peninsula and across the Indo14 Pacific region continues to play a critical role in 

15 safeguarding the peaceful and stable rules-based 

16 international order that benefits all countries; 

17 (3) South Korea has contributed heavily to its 

18 own defense and to the defense of the United States 

19 Armed Forces in South Korea, including by pro20 viding $10,000,000,000 of the $10,800,000,0000 

21 Camp Humphreys project, which is 93 percent of 

22 the funding, to build and relocate United States 

23 military forces to a new base in South Korea;

1 (4) United States military forces, pursuant to 

2 international law, are lawfully deployed on the Ko3 rean Peninsula; 

4 (5) the nuclear and ballistic missile programs of 

5 the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are clear 

6 and consistent violations of international law; 

7 (6) the long-stated strategic objective of author8 itarian states such as the People’s Republic of 

9 China, the Russian Federation, and the Democratic 

10 People’s Republic of Korea has been the significant 

11 removal of United States military forces from the 

12 Korean Peninsula; 

13 (7) the maximum pressure campaign of the 

14 Trump Administration, including an increase in eco15 nomic sanctions and diplomatic measures with 

16 United States allies and regional partners, has 

17 worked to bring Kim Jong-un to the negotiation 

18 table; and

20 military forces from the Korean Peninsula is a non21 negotiable item as it relates to the complete,

8 SEC. 1649. SENSE OF SENATE ON NUCLEAR POSTURE RE9 VIEW. 

10 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find11 ings: 

12 (1) Secretary of Defense James Mattis said in 

13 his opening statement before the Committee on 

14 Armed Services of the House of Representatives on 

15 February 6, 2018, ‘‘Maintaining an effective nuclear 

16 deterrent is much less expensive than fighting a war 

17 that we were unable to deter.’’. 

18 (2) In the same statement, Secretary Mattis 

19 said, ‘‘Recapitalizing the nuclear weapons complex of 

20 laboratories and plants is also long past due . . . 

21 Due to consistent underfunding, significant and sus22 tained investments will be required over the coming 

23 decade to ensure that the National Nuclear Security 

24 Administration will be able to deliver at the rate 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
793 

•S 2987 PCS

1 needed to support nuclear deterrence into the 2030s 

2 and beyond.’’. 

3 (3) Former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter re4 cently wrote that ‘‘it is essential to recapitalize the 

5 nuclear Triad, because it is the bedrock of deter6 rence. During the past 25 years, the United States 

7 has made no major new investments in its nuclear 

8 forces, yet other countries have conducted vigorous 

9 buildups. This history does not support the conten10 tion that U.S. investments fuel the nuclear programs 

11 of others. My views are reflected in the latest Nu12 clear Posture Review.’’. 

13 (4) Former Under Secretary of Defense for 

14 Policy Jim Miller recently wrote, ‘‘Secretary of De15 fense Jim Mattis’s 2018 Nuclear Posture Review of16 fers continuity with past U.S. policy and plans, in17 cluding those in the 2010 NPR. It deserves broad 

18 bipartisan support.’’. 

19 (5) The Foreign Minister of Japan, Taro Kono, 

20 said in a statement on February 3, 2018, ‘‘Japan 

21 highly appreciates the latest NPR which clearly ar22 ticulates the U.S. resolve to ensure the effectiveness 

23 of its deterrence and its commitment to providing 

24 extended deterrence to its allies including Japan, in 

25 light of the international security environment which 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
794 

•S 2987 PCS

1 has been rapidly worsened since the release of the 

2 previous 2010 NPR, in particular, by continued de3 velopment of North Korea’s nuclear and missile pro4 grams.’’. 

5 (6) In testimony before the Committee on 

6 Armed Services of the Senate on April 30, 2018, 

7 Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said, ‘‘Modernizing 

8 the nation’s nuclear deterrent delivery systems and 

9 our nuclear command and control is the [Depart10 ment of Defense’s] top priority.’’. 

11 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the 

12 Senate that— 

13 (1) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review is a 

14 measured and appropriate response to the current 

15 security environment, taking into account the devel16 opments in other nuclear weapons states such as the 

17 People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federa18 tion and the return to great power competition as 

19 identified by two successive Secretaries of Defense 

20 and outlined in the 2018 National Defense Strategy; 

21 (2) Congress should fully fund the complete nu22 clear modernization program of the Department of 

23 Defense, including the Columbia-class submarine, 

24 the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent, the B–21 

25 long-range bomber, the Long-Range Stand-Off

•S 2987 PCS

1 weapon, the re-engining of the B–52H bomber, and 

2 dual-capable aircraft; 

3 (3) the Department of Defense should organize 

4 itself appropriately to engineer, acquire, and operate 

5 nuclear command, control, and communications sys6 tems that are secure, reliable, and modernized; 

7 (4) Congress should fully fund the National 

8 Nuclear Security Administration component of the 

9 nuclear modernization program, including— 

10 (A) the existing warhead life extension pro11 grams and major alterations, including the 

12 W76–2 warhead modification program and the 

13 W80–4 life extension program; and 

14 (B) the recapitalization of infrastructure 

15 for production and processing of plutonium 

16 pits, uranium, tritium, lithium, and trusted 

17 strategic radiation-hardened microelectronics; 

18 (5) in order to execute the programs described 

19 in this subsection in the timely fashion required by 

20 the Nuclear Posture Review, the National Nuclear 

21 Security Administration must balance workload, im22 prove management of large programs, and better in23 tegrate its acquisition programs with those of the 

24 Department of Defense;

796 

•S 2987 PCS

1 (6) the United States maintains a steadfast 

2 commitment to the policy of extended deterrence in 

3 Europe and East Asia, and the nuclear moderniza4 tion program will ensure that commitment remains 

5 credible; 

6 (7) the United States should continue to honor 

7 long-held arms control, nonproliferation, and nuclear 

8 security commitments, and should seek to increase 

9 transparency and predictability through strategic 

10 dialogue, risk-reduction communication channels, 

11 and the sharing of best practices; 

12 (8) when complied with by all parties, effective 

13 nuclear nonproliferation and arms control measures 

14 and agreements can support the security of the 

15 United States and countries that are allies or part16 ners of the United States by— 

17 (A) controlling the spread of nuclear mate18 rials, technology, and expertise; 

19 (B) decreasing the risk of misperception 

20 and miscalculation; and 

21 (C) avoiding destabilizing nuclear arms

7 This title may be cited as the ‘‘Foreign Investment 

8 Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018’’. 

9 SEC. 1702. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 

10 (a) IN GENERAL.—It is the sense of Congress that— 

11 (1) foreign investment provides substantial eco12 nomic benefits to the United States, including the 

13 promotion of economic growth, productivity, com14 petitiveness, and job creation, and the majority of 

15 foreign investment transactions pose little or no risk 

16 to the national security of the United States, espe17 cially when those investments are truly passive in 

18 nature; 

19 (2) maintaining the commitment of the United 

20 States to open and fair investment policy also en21 courages other countries to reciprocate and helps 

22 open new foreign markets for United States busi23 nesses and their products;

1 port foreign investment, consistent with the protec2 tion of national security; 

3 (4) at the same time, the national security land4 scape has shifted in recent years, and so has the na5 ture of the investments that pose the greatest poten6 tial risk to national security, which warrants a mod7 ernization of the processes and authorities of the 

8 Committee on Foreign Investment in the United 

9 States and of the United States export control sys10 tem; 

11 (5) the Committee on Foreign Investment in 

12 the United States plays a critical role in protecting 

13 the national security of the United States, and, 

14 therefore, it is essential that the member agencies of 

15 the Committee are adequately resourced and able to 

16 hire appropriately qualified individuals in a timely 

17 manner, and that those individuals’ security clear18 ances are processed as a high priority; 

19 (6) the President should conduct a more robust 

20 international outreach effort to urge and help allies 

21 and partners of the United States to establish proc22 esses that parallel the Committee on Foreign Invest23 ment in the United States to screen foreign invest24 ments for national security risks and to facilitate co25 ordination; 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
824 

•S 2987 PCS

1 (7) the President should lead a collaborative ef2 fort with allies and partners of the United States to 

3 strengthen the multilateral export control regime to 

4 more effectively address the unprecedented indus5 trial policies of certain countries of special concern, 

6 including aggressive efforts to acquire United States 

7 technology, and the blending of civil and military 

8 programs; 

9 (8) any penalties imposed by the United States 

10 Government with respect to an individual or entity 

11 pursuant to a determination that the individual or 

12 entity has violated sanctions imposed by the United 

13 States or the export control laws of the United 

14 States should not be reversed for reasons unrelated 

15 to the national security of the United States; and 

16 (9) the Committee on Foreign Investment in 

17 the United States should continue to review trans18 actions for the purpose of protecting national secu19 rity and should not consider issues of national inter20 est absent a national security nexus. 

21 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CONSIDERATION OF

22 COVERED TRANSACTIONS.—It is the sense of Congress 

23 that, when considering national security risks, the Com24 mittee on Foreign Investment in the United States may 

25 consider—

14 assets as a result of a transaction has a history of 

15 complying with United States laws and regulations; 

16 (4) the extent to which a transaction is likely 

17 to expose, either directly or indirectly, personally

19 other sensitive data of United States citizens to ac20 cess by a foreign government or foreign person that 

21 may exploit that information in a manner that
