1 (E) It is altogether fitting and proper that this 

2 Act, the last annual authorization act for the na3 tional defense that Senator Levin manages in and 

4 for the United States Senate as chairman of the

6 honor, as provided in subsection (a).

2 Education and the Workforce. 

3 (D) Chairman McKeon is a champion of a 

4 strong national defense, the men and women of 

5 America’s Armed Forces and their families, and re6 turning fiscal discipline to the Department of De7 fense. His priority has been to ensure our troops de8 ployed around the world have the equipment, re9 sources, authorities, training and time they need to 

10 successfully complete their missions and return 

11 home. 

12 (E) For 52 consecutive years, the House Armed 

13 Services Committee, in a bipartisan, bicameral tradi14 tion, has passed and enacted an annual defense au15 thorization act. Chairman McKeon had said it has

20 named in Chairman McKeon’s honor, as provided in

5 THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. 

6 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find7 ings: 

8 (1) The stability and security of the Western 

9 Hemisphere has a direct impact on the security in10 terests of the United States. 

11 (2) Over the past decade, there has been a 

12 marked increase in violence and instability in the re13 gion as a result of weak governance and increasingly 

14 capable transnational criminal organizations. These 

15 criminal organizations operate global, multi-billion 

16 dollar networks that traffic narcotics, humans, weap17 ons, and bulk cash. 

18 (3) Conflict between the various transnational 

19 criminal organizations for smuggling routes and ter20 ritory has resulted in skyrocketing violence. Accord21 ing to the United Nations Office on Drugs and 

22 Crime, Honduras has the highest murder rate in the 

23 world with 90 murders per 100,000 people.

1 batant commands for Department of Defense efforts 

2 to combat illicit trafficking in the Western Hemi3 sphere. 

4 (5) To combat these destabilizing threats, 

5 through a variety of authorities, the Department of 

6 Defense advises, trains, educates, and equips vetted 

7 troops in the region to enhance their military and 

8 police forces, with an emphasis on human rights and 

9 the rule of law. 

10 (6) As a result of decades of instability and vio11 lence, tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien chil12 dren and their families have fled to the border be13 tween the United States and Mexico. In fiscal year 

14 2014, approximately 66,000 such children were ap15 prehended crossing into the United States from 

16 Mexico. 

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con18 gress that— 

19 (1) the Department of Defense should continue 

20 its efforts to combat transnational criminal organi21 zations in the Western Hemisphere; 

22 (2) the Department of Defense should increase

3 SEC. 1024. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE ANNI4 VERSARY OF THE SINKING OF U.S.S. THRESH5 ER. 

6 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find7 ings: 

8 (1) U.S.S. Thresher was first launched at 

9 Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on July 9, 1960. 

10 (2) U.S.S. Thresher departed Portsmouth 

11 Naval Shipyard for her final voyage on April 9, 

12 1963, with a crew of 16 officers, 96 sailors, and 17 

13 civilians. 

14 (3) The mix of that crew reflects the unity of 

15 the naval submarine service, military and civilian, in 

16 the protection of the United States. 

17 (4) At approximately 7:47 a.m. on April 10, 

18 1963, while in communication with the surface ship 

19 U.S.S. Skylark, and approximately 220 miles off the 

20 coast of New England, U.S.S. Thresher began her 

21 final descent. 

22 (5) U.S.S. Thresher was declared lost with all 

23 hands on April 10, 1963. 

24 (6) In response to the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, 

25 the United States Navy instituted new regulations to

1 ensure the health of the submariners and the safety 

2 of the submarines of the United States. 

3 (7) Those regulations led to the establishment 

4 of the Submarine Safety and Quality Assurance pro5 gram (SUBSAFE), now one of the most comprehen6 sive military safety programs in the world. 

7 (8) SUBSAFE has kept the submariners of the 

8 United States safe at sea ever since as the strongest, 

9 safest submarine force in history. 

10 (9) Since the establishment of SUBSAFE, no 

11 SUBSAFE-certified submarine has been lost at sea, 

12 which is a legacy owed to the brave individuals who 

13 perished aboard U.S.S. Thresher. 

14 (10) From the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, there 

15 arose in the institutions of higher education in the 

16 United States the ocean engineering curricula that 

17 enables the preeminence of the United States in sub18 marine warfare. 

19 (11) The crew of U.S.S. Thresher demonstrated 

20 the ‘‘last full measure of devotion’’ in service to the 

21 United States, and this devotion characterizes the 

22 sacrifices of all submariners, past and present. 

23 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 

24 (1) recognizes the 51st anniversary of the sink25 ing of U.S.S. Thresher;

2 2012, and the Wales Summit Declaration of September 

3 2014, including the following statements: 

4 (1) As stated in the Deterrence and Defense 

5 Posture Review: 

6 (A) ‘‘The greatest responsibility of the Alli7 ance is to protect and defend our territory and 

8 our populations against attack, as set out in 

9 Article 5 of the Washington Treaty. The Alli10 ance does not consider any country to be its ad11 versary. However, no one should doubt NATO’s 

12 resolve if the security of any of its members 

13 were to be threatened. NATO will ensure that 

14 it maintains the full range of capabilities nec15 essary to deter and defend against any threat 

16 to the safety and security of our populations, 

17 wherever it should arise. Allies’ goal is to bol18 ster deterrence as a core element of our collec19 tive defense and contribute to the indivisible se20 curity of the Alliance.’’. 

21 (B) ‘‘Nuclear weapons are a core compo22 nent of NATO’s overall capabilities for deter23 rence and defense alongside conventional and 

24 missile defense forces. The review has shown

1 rently meets the criteria for an effective deter2 rence and defense posture.’’. 

3 (C) ‘‘The circumstances in which any use 

4 of nuclear weapons might have to be con5 templated are extremely remote. As long as nu6 clear weapons exist, NATO will remain a nu7 clear alliance. The supreme guarantee of the se8 curity of the Allies is provided by the strategic 

9 nuclear forces of the Alliance, particularly those 

10 of the United States; the independent strategic 

11 forces of the United Kingdom and France, 

12 which have a deterrent role of their own, con13 tribute to the overall deterrence and security of 

14 the Allies.’’. 

15 (D) ‘‘NATO must have the full range of 

16 capabilities necessary to deter and defend 

17 against threats to the safety of its populations 

18 and the security of its territory, which is the Al19 liance’s greatest responsibility.’’. 

20 (E) ‘‘NATO is committed to maintaining 

21 an appropriate mix of nuclear, conventional, 

22 and missile defense capabilities for deterrence 

23 and defense to fulfill its commitments as set 

24 out in the Strategic Concept. These capabilities, 

25 underpinned by NATO’s Integrated Command

2 Alliance’s security and will ensure that it is able 

3 to respond to a variety of challenges and unpre4 dictable contingencies in a highly complex and 

5 evolving international security environment.’’. 

6 (2) As stated in the Wales Summit Declaration: 

7 (A) ‘‘Deterrence, based on an appropriate 

8 mix of nuclear, conventional, and missile 

9 defence capabilities, remains a core element of 

10 our overall strategy.’’. 

11 (B) ‘‘Arms control, disarmament, and non12 proliferation continue to play an important role 

13 in the achievement of the Alliance’s security ob14 jectives. Both the success and failure of these 

15 efforts can have a direct impact on the threat 

16 environment of NATO. In this context, it is of 

17 paramount importance that disarmament and 

18 non-proliferation commitments under existing 

19 treaties are honoured, including the Inter20 mediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, 

21 which is a crucial element of Euro-Atlantic se22 curity. In that regard, Allies call on Russia to 

23 preserve the viability of the INF Treaty 

24 through ensuring full and verifiable compli25 ance.’’.

3 this capability needs to be improved to meet evolving 

4 ballistic missile threats; 

5 (3) the initial step in this process of improve6 ment is to correct the problems that caused the 

7 flight test failures with the current kill vehicles, and 

8 to improve the reliability of the deployed ground9 based interceptor fleet; 

10 (4) as indicated by senior officials of the De11 partment of Defense, continued investments to en12 hance homeland defense sensor and discrimination 

13 capabilities are essential to improve the operational 

14 effectiveness and shot doctrine of the ground-based 

15 midcourse defense system; 

16 (5) given limitations with the currently deployed 

17 exo-atmospheric kill vehicles, it is important to re18 design the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle using a rig19 orous acquisition approach, including realistic test20 ing, that can achieve a demonstrated capability as 

21 soon as practicable using sound acquisition prin22 ciples and practices; and 

23 (6) in order to stay ahead of evolving ballistic 

24 missile threats, the Department should design the 

25 next generation exo-atmospheric kill vehicle to take

11 (1) the United States domestic maritime indus12 try carries hundreds of million of tons of cargo an13 nually, supports nearly 500,000 jobs, and provides 

14 nearly 100 billion in annual economic output; 

15 (2) the Nation’s military sealift capacity will 

16 benefit from one of the fastest growing segments of 

17 the domestic trades, 14 domestic trade tankers that 

18 are on order to be constructed at United States 

19 shipyards as of February 1, 2014; 

20 (3) the domestic trades’ vessel innovations that 

21 transformed worldwide maritime commerce include 

22 the development of containerships, self-unloading 

23 vessels, articulated tug-barges, trailer barges, chem24 ical parcel tankers, railroad-on-barge carfloats, and 

25 river flotilla towing systems;

f:\VHLC\120214\120214.168.xml 
1574 

1 (4) the national security benefits of the domes2 tic maritime industry are unquestioned as the De3 partment of Defense depends on United States do4 mestic trades’ fleet of container ships, roll-on/roll-off 

5 ships, and product tankers to carry military cargoes; 

6 (5) the Department of Defense benefits from a 

7 robust commercial shipyard and ship repair industry 

8 and current growth in that sector is particularly im9 portant as Federal budget cuts may reduce the num10 ber of new constructed military vessels; and 

11 (6) the domestic fleet is essential to national se12 curity and was a primary source of mariners needed 

13 to crew United States Government-owned sealift ves14 sels activated from reserve status during Operations 

15 Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom in the period 

16 2002 through 2010. 

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con18 gress that United States coastwise trade laws promote a 

19 strong domestic trade maritime industry, which supports 

20 the national security and economic vitality of the United 

21 States and the efficient operation of the United States 

22 transportation system.
