13 SEC. 121. INCREASE IN NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL AIR14 CRAFT CARRIERS OF THE NAVY. 

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

16 (1) The aircraft carrier can fulfill the Navy’s 

17 core missions of forward presence, sea control, en18 suring safe sea lanes, and power projection as well 

19 as providing flexibility and versatility to execute a 

20 wide range of additional missions. 

21 (2) Forward airpower is integral to the security 

22 and joint forces operations of the United States. 

23 Carriers play a central role in delivering forward air24 power from sovereign territory of the United States 

25 in both permissive and nonpermissive environments.

1 (3) Aircraft carriers provide our Nation the 

2 ability to rapidly and decisively respond to national 

3 threats, as well as conducting worldwide, on-station 

4 diplomacy and providing deterrence against threats 

5 to the United States allies, partners, and friends. 

6 (4) Since the end of the cold war, aircraft car7 rier deployments have increased while the aircraft 

8 carrier force structure has declined. 

9 (5) Considering the increased array of complex 

10 threats across the globe, the Navy aircraft carrier is 

11 operating at maximum capacity, increasing deploy12 ment lengths and decreasing maintenance periods in 

13 order to meet operational requirements. 

14 (6) To meet global peacetime and wartime re15 quirements, the Navy has indicated a requirement to 

16 maintain two aircraft carriers deployed overseas and 

17 have three additional aircraft carriers capable of de18 ploying within 90 days. However, the Navy has indi19 cated that the existing aircraft carrier force struc20 ture cannot support these military requirements. 

21 (7) Despite the requirement to maintain an air22 craft carrier strike group in both the United States 

23 Central Command and the United States Pacific 

24 Command, the Navy has been unable to generate 

25 sufficient capacity to support combatant comVerDate Nov 24 2008 17:00 May 11, 2018 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\HCROSS\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\RCP5515.XML

1 manders and has developed significant carrier gaps 

2 in these critical areas. 

3 (8) Because of the continuing use of a dimin4 ished aircraft carrier force structure, extensive main5 tenance availabilities result which typically exceed 

6 program costs and increase time in shipyards. These 

7 expansive maintenance availabilities exacerbate exist8 ing carrier gaps. 

9 (9) Developing an alternative design to the 

10 Ford-class aircraft carrier is not cost beneficial. A 

11 smaller design is projected to incur significant de12 sign and engineering cost while significantly reduc13 ing magazine size, carrier air wing size, sortie rate, 

14 and on-station effectiveness, among other vital fac15 tors, as compared to the Ford-class. Furthermore, a 

16 new design will delay the introduction of future air17 craft carriers, exacerbating existing carrier gaps and 

18 threatening the national security of the United 

19 States. 

20 (10) The 2016 Navy Force Structure Assess21 ment states ‘‘A minimum of 12 aircraft carriers are 

22 required to meet the increased warfighting response 

23 requirements of the Defense Planning Guidance De24 feat/Deny force sizing direction.’’.

14 SEC. 147. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING 

15 KC–46 AERIAL REFUELING TANKERS. 

16 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find17 ings: 

18 (1) Aerial refueling tankers provide an essential 

19 foundation for our nation’s ability to project power 

20 and deter adversaries, enabling the global reach of 

21 our joint force. 

22 (2) 87 percent of the legacy aerial refueling 

23 fleet is comprised of KC–135 aircraft with an aver24 age age of 56 years.

1 (3) The Commander of United States Trans2 portation Command has identified the aerial refuel3 ing fleet as the ‘‘most stressed of our air mobility 

4 forces’’ and stated that ‘‘delaying KC–46 production 

5 puts the Joint Force’s ability to effectively execute 

6 war plans at risk’’. 

7 (4) As directed by the National Defense Au8 thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 

9 115–91), the Air Force is undertaking an updated 

10 mobility capability and requirements study that will 

11 reflect guidance articulated in the 2018 National 

12 Defense Strategy and reassess the current tanker re13 quirement of 479 aircraft. 

14 (5) The fixed-price contract for KC–46A calls 

15 for 179 aircraft to be delivered by 2028. 

16 (6) The KC–46 is a multirole platform that will 

17 bring enhanced capabilities to both the aerial refuel18 ing and strategic airlift missions. The aircraft pro19 vides the ability to refuel joint and coalition aircraft 

20 by both boom and drogue systems in the same sor21 tie; improved cargo, passenger and aeromedical evac22 uation capabilities; and enhanced survivability with 

23 multiple layers of protection enabling it to operate 

24 safely in a broader range of threat environments 

25 than legacy tankers.

1 (7) The Government Accountability Office has 

2 stated: ‘‘The KC–46 program’s total acquisition cost 

3 estimate remained stable over the past year at 

4 $44,400,000,000, which is about $7,300,000,000 

5 less than the original estimate.’’ 

6 (8) The Commander of Air Mobility Command 

7 has stated that the KC–46 ‘‘will bring tremendous 

8 capability to our joint warfighter’’. 

9 (9) The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force 

10 for Acquisition has stated: ‘‘Stability of require11 ments and funding are the keys to KC–46 program 

12 success and will enable the Air Force to deliver this 

13 new tanker ready for employment on day one.’’ 

14 (10) The Military Deputy to the Assistant Sec15 retary of the Air Force for Acquisition has identified 

16 the KC–46 as the Air Force’s second highest combat 

17 aviation acquisition priority ‘‘for the role that it 

18 plays in being able to power project’’. 

19 (11) With the support of Congress, the Air 

20 Force has executed three low rate initial production 

21 contracts for a total of 34 aircraft. In fiscal year 

22 2018, Congress provided funding for a fourth pro23 duction lot totaling 18 aircraft. 

24 (12) A steady production rate of 1.3 aircraft 

25 per month has been maintained through independent

1 investment by industry in order to expedite deliveries 

2 to the Air Force upon completion of developmental 

3 testing and certification. 

4 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con5 gress that— 

6 (1) the Air Force and industry should dedicate 

7 the resources and manpower necessary to ensure the 

8 first KC–46 is delivered in fiscal year 2018; 

9 (2) the Air Force should maximize efficiency in 

10 the test and certification process to ensure that— 

11 (A) test points are not redundant; 

12 (B) test plans are approved expeditiously; 

13 (C) receiver aircraft are available to sup14 port test flights; and 

15 (D) Air Force inputs necessary for Federal 

16 Aviation Administration and military airworthi17 ness certifications are expedited; and 

18 (3) the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 

19 Acquisition and the Director of the Defense Con20 tract Management Agency should develop and imple21 ment a plan enabling the Air Force to accept and 

22 field KC–46 aircraft at a rate higher than three air23 craft per month after the delivery of the first air24 craft.

17 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find18 ings: 

19 (1) In 2017, there were three collisions and one 

20 grounding involving United States Navy ships in the 

21 Western Pacific. The two most recent mishaps in22 volved separate incidents of a Japan-based United 

23 States Navy destroyer colliding with a commercial 

24 merchant vessel, resulting in the combined loss of 17 

25 sailors.

g:\VHLC\051118\051118.302.xml (694536|4)
88 

1 (2) The causal factors in these four mishaps 

2 are linked directly to a failure to take sufficient ac3 tion in accordance with the rules of good seaman4 ship. 

5 (3) Because risks are high in the maritime envi6 ronment, there are widely accepted standards for 

7 safe seamanship and navigation. In the United 

8 States, the International Convention on Standards 

9 of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (herein10 after in this section referred to as the ‘‘STCW’’) for 

11 Seafarers, standardizes the skills and foundational 

12 knowledge a maritime professional must have in sea13 manship and navigation. 

14 (4) Section 568 of the National Defense Au15 thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 

16 114-328; 130 Stat. 2139) endorsed the STCW proc17 ess and required the Secretary of Defense to maxi18 mize the extent to which Armed Forces service, 

19 training, and qualifications are creditable toward 

20 meeting merchant mariner licenses and certifi21 cations.

6 similar Navy program does not exist. 

7 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con8 gress that—

10 a comprehensive individual proficiency assessment 

11 process and include such an assessment prior to all 

12 operational surface warfare officer tour assignments;

3 SEC. 880. DEFENDING UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT COM4 MUNICATIONS. 

5 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find6 ings: 

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

8 Military and Security Developments Involving the 

9 People’s Republic of China’’, the Department of De10 fense stated that, ‘‘China’s defense industry has ben11 efitted from integration with a rapidly expanding ci12 vilian economy and science and technology sector, 

13 particularly elements that have access to foreign 

14 technology. Progress within individual defense sec15 tors appears linked to the relative integration of 

16 each, through China’s civilian economy, into the 

17 global production and R&D chain . . . Information 

18 technology companies in particular, including 

19 Huawei, Datang, and Zhongxing, maintain close ties 

20 to the PLA.’’. 

21 (2) In a 2011 report titled ‘‘The National Secu22 rity Implications of Investments and Products from 

23 the People’s Republic of China in the Telecommuni24 cations Sector’’, the United States China Commis25 sion stated that ‘‘[n]ational security concerns have

1 accompanied the dramatic growth of China’s telecom 

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

3 particularly those ‘national champions’ prominent in 

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

5 are directly subject to direction by the Chinese Com6 munist Party, to include support for PRC state poli7 cies and goals.’’. 

8 (3) The Commission further stated in its report 

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

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

11 weighed against the potential security concerns re12 lated to infrastructure components coming under the 

13 control of foreign entities. This seems particularly 

14 applicable in the telecommunications industry, as 

15 Chinese companies continue systematically to ac16 quire significant holdings in prominent global and 

17 U.S. telecommunications and information technology 

18 companies.’’. 

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

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

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

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

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

24 subject to state influence. Such companies are often 

25 in new markets with no established SOE leaders and

1 enjoy favorable government policies that support 

2 their development while posing obstacles to foreign 

3 competition. Examples include Chinese telecoms 

4 giant Huawei and such automotive companies as 

5 battery maker BYD and vehicle manufacturers 

6 Geely and Chery.’’. 

7 (5) General Michael Hayden, who served as Di8 rector of the Central Intelligence Agency and Direc9 tor of the National Security Agency, stated in July 

10 2013 that Huawei had ‘‘shared with the Chinese 

11 state intimate and extensive knowledge of foreign 

12 telecommunications systems it is involved with.’’. 

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

14 February 2015 Counterintelligence Strategy Part15 nership Intelligence Note stated that, ‘‘[w]ith the ex16 panded use of Huawei Technologies Inc. equipment 

17 and services in U.S. telecommunications service pro18 vider networks, the Chinese Government’s potential 

19 access to U.S. business communications is dramati20 cally increasing. Chinese Government-supported tele21 communications equipment on U.S. networks may be 

22 exploited through Chinese cyber activity, with Chi23 na’s intelligence services operating as an advanced 

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

1 (7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation fur2 ther stated in its February 2015 counterintelligence 

3 note that, ‘‘China makes no secret that its cyber 

4 warfare strategy is predicated on controlling global 

5 communications network infrastructure.’’. 

6 (8) At a hearing before the Committee on 

7 Armed Services of the House of Representatives on 

8 September 30, 2015, Deputy Secretary of Defense 

9 Robert Work, responding to a question about the 

10 use of Huawei telecommunications equipment, stat11 ed, ‘‘In the Office of the Secretary of Defense, abso12 lutely not. And I know of no other—I don’t believe 

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

14 in the Pentagon.’’. 

15 (9) At such hearing, the Commander of the 

16 United States Cyber Command, Admiral Mike Rog17 ers, responding to a question about why such 

18 Huawei telecommunications equipment is not used, 

19 stated, ‘‘as we look at supply chain and we look at 

20 potential vulnerabilities within the system, that it is 

21 a risk we felt was unacceptable.’’. 

22 (10) In March 2017, ZTE Corporation pled 

23 guilty to conspiring to violate the International 

24 Emergency Economic Powers Act by illegally ship25 ping United States-origin items to Iran, paying the

1 United States Government a penalty of 

2 $892,360,064 dollars for activity between January 

3 2010 and January 2016. 

4 (11) The Treasury Department’s Office of For5 eign Assets Control issued a subpoena to Huawei as 

6 part of a Federal investigation of alleged violations 

7 of trade restrictions on Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and 

8 Syria. 

9 (12) In the bipartisan Permanent Select Com10 mittee on Intelligence of the House of Representa11 tives ‘‘Investigative Report on the United States Na12 tional Security Issues Posed by Chinese Tele13 communication Companies Huawei and ZTE’’ re14 leased in 2012, it was recommended that ‘‘U.S. gov15 ernment systems, particularly sensitive systems, 

16 should not include Huawei or ZTE equipment, in17 cluding in component parts. Similarly, government 

18 contractors—particularly those working on contracts 

19 for sensitive U.S. programs—should exclude ZTE or 

20 Huawei equipment in their systems.’’. 

21 (13) Christopher Wray, who serves as Director 

22 of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, stated in 

23 February 2018 during a hearing of the Select Com24 mittee on Intelligence of the Senate that he was 

25 ‘‘deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any

1 company or entity that is beholden to foreign gov2 ernments that don’t share our values to gain posi3 tions of power inside our telecommunications net4 works. That provides the capacity to exert pressure 

5 or control over our telecommunications infrastruc6 ture. It provides the capacity to maliciously modify 

7 or steal information. And it provides the capacity to 

8 conduct undetected espionage.’’ Admiral Mike Rog9 ers, who served as Director of the National Security 

10 Agency, agreed with Director Wray’s characteriza11 tion, and added that Government programs need ‘‘to 

12 look long and hard at companies like this’’. 

13 (14) Director of National Intelligence Dan 

14 Coats, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director 

15 Christopher Wray, Director of the Defense Intel16 ligence Agency General Robert Ashley, Director of 

17 the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Robert 

18 Cardillo, Director of the National Security Agency 

19 Admiral Michael Rogers, and Director of the Central 

20 Intelligence Agency Michael Pompeo all indicated by 

21 show of hands in February 2018 at a hearing of the 

22 Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate that 

23 they would not ‘‘use products or services from 

24 Huawei or ZTE’’.

2 Commanding General of United States Army Cyber 

3 Command, stated during his confirmation hearing to 

4 be National Security Agency director in March 2018 

5 before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the 

6 Senate that he ‘‘would not’’ use any Huawei, China

1 pose. Commission policy has been and is to require 

2 States and localities to permit erection of a station 

3 antenna structure at heights and dimensions suffi4 cient to accommodate amateur service communica5 tions. 

6 (5) The Commission has sought guidance and 

7 direction from Congress with respect to the applica8 tion of the Commission’s limited preemption policy 

9 regarding amateur service communications to private 

10 land use restrictions, including restrictive covenants. 

11 (6) There are aesthetic and common property 

12 considerations that are uniquely applicable to private 

13 land use regulations and the community associations 

14 obligated to enforce covenants, conditions, and re15 strictions in deed-restricted communities. These con16 siderations are dissimilar to those applicable to State 

17 law and local ordinances regulating the same resi18 dential amateur radio facilities. 

19 (7) In recognition of these considerations, a 

20 separate Federal policy than exists at section 

21 97.15(b) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, is 

22 warranted concerning amateur service communica23 tions in deed-restricted communities.

1 of their communities, while nevertheless permitting 

2 the installation and maintenance of effective outdoor 

3 amateur radio antennas. There exist antenna de4 signs and installations that can be consistent with 

5 the aesthetics and physical characteristics of land 

6 and structures in community associations while ac7 commodating communications in the amateur radio 

8 services. 

9 (b) APPLICATION OF PRIVATE LAND USE RESTRIC10 TIONS TO AMATEUR STATIONS.— 

11 (1) AMENDMENT OF FCC RULES.—Not later 

12 than 120 days after the date of the enactment of 

13 this Act, the Federal Communications Commission 

14 shall amend section 97.15 of title 47, Code of Fed15 eral Regulations, by adding a new paragraph that 

16 prohibits the application to amateur stations of any 

17 private land use restriction, including a restrictive 

18 covenant, that— 

19 (A) on its face or as applied, precludes 

20 communications in an amateur radio service; 

21 (B) fails to permit a licensee in an ama22 teur radio service to install and maintain an ef23 fective outdoor antenna on property under the 

24 exclusive use or control of the licensee; or

1 (C) does not constitute the minimum prac2 ticable restriction on such communications to 

3 accomplish the lawful purposes of a community 

4 association seeking to enforce such restriction. 

5 (2) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.—In amend6 ing its rules as required by subsection (a), the Com7 mission shall— 

8 (A) require any licensee in an amateur 

9 radio service to notify and obtain prior approval 

10 from a community association concerning in11 stallation of an outdoor antenna; 

12 (B) permit a community association to 

13 prohibit installation of any antenna or antenna 

14 support structure by a licensee in an amateur 

15 radio service on common property not under the 

16 exclusive use or control of the licensee; and 

17 (C) subject to the standards specified in 

18 paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a), per19 mit a community association to establish rea20 sonable written rules concerning height, loca21 tion, size, and aesthetic impact of, and installa22 tion requirements for, outdoor antennas and

1 SEC. 1233. COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE TO THE RUSSIAN 

2 FEDERATION’S MATERIAL BREACH OF THE 

3 INF TREATY. 

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

5 (1) James Mattis, Secretary of Defense, testi6 fied before the House Armed Services Committee on 

7 March 22, 2018, that ‘‘we have very modest expecta8 tions that they [Russia] would return to [INF] com9 pliance. As a result, in the Nuclear Posture Review, 

10 we are looking for a way, at the lowest possible cost, 

11 to checkmate them and make it in their best interest 

12 to return to compliance.’’. 

13 (2) The Honorable Daniel Coats, Director of 

14 National Intelligence, testified before the Senate 

15 Armed Services Committee on March 6, 2018, that 

16 the Russian Federation is violating the INF Treaty 

17 because ‘‘Moscow probably believes that the new 

18 GLCM provides sufficient advantages that make it 

19 worth the risk of violating the INF Treaty.’’. 

20 (3) General Hyten, Commander of the United 

21 States Strategic Command, also testified before the 

22 Senate Armed Services Committee on March 20, 

23 2018, about potential strategic advantages for China 

24 stemming from their lack of participation in the 

25 INF Treaty by saying that ‘‘they do not have any

1 significant numbers of intermediate-range ballistic 

2 missiles that if they were in the INF [Treaty], they 

3 would be contrary to the treaty’’. 

4 (4) General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the 

5 Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified before the House 

6 Armed Services Committee on April 12, 2018, that 

7 ‘‘we’re not only looking for operational concepts and 

8 ways to deal with the Russian violation, but we’re 

9 also at least posturing ourselves to develop weapons 

10 should they be required’’. Secretary of Defense 

11 Mattis also stated in that same hearing ‘‘our effort 

12 will be matched at State Department by movement 

13 on arms control and nonproliferation. There are two 

14 thrusts to our nuclear strategy. . .and that’s why 

15 those funds have been requested.’’. 

16 (b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the 

17 United States as follows: 

18 (1) The actions undertaken by the Russian 

19 Federation in violation of the INF Treaty, including 

20 the flight-test, production, and possession of prohib21 ited systems, have defeated the object and purpose 

22 of the INF Treaty, and thus constitute a material 

23 breach of the INF Treaty. 

24 (2) In light of the Russian Federation’s mate25 rial breach of the INF Treaty, the United States is

1 legally entitled to suspend the operation of the INF 

2 Treaty in whole or in part for so long as the Russian 

3 Federation continues to be in material breach of the 

4 INF Treaty. 

5 (3) For so long as the Russian Federation re6 mains in noncompliance with the INF Treaty, the 

7 United States should take actions to encourage the 

8 Russian Federation to return to compliance with the 

9 INF Treaty, including by—

2 Wiltshire Police Detective Sergeant Nicholas 

3 Bailey, poisoned using the nerve agent 

4 ‘‘novichok’’ in Salisbury, England, in March 

5 2018. 

6 (B) Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned using 

7 polonium, in London, England, in November 

8 2006, about whose death a January 2016 in9 quest ordered by the British Parliament con10 cluded ‘‘the FSB operation to kill Mr 

11 Litvinenko was probably approved by Mr 

12 Patrushev [then-director of the FSB] and also 

13 by President Putin’’. 

14 (5) Russia has also demonstrated its disregard 

15 for the obligations imposed by the Chemical Weap16 ons Convention by— 

17 (A) continuing to provide military and dip18 lomatic support for Syrian President Bashar al19 Assad, who has used chemical weapons includ20 ing chlorine gas and sarin against Syrian citi21 zens;

12 under the Chemical Weapons Convention for dec13 laration of its: (1) [chemical weapons production fa14 cilities]; (2) [chemical weapons] development facili15 ties; and (3) [chemical weapons] stockpiles. In fact, 

16 due to Russia’s March 4, 2018, use of a military17 grade nerve agent to attack two individuals in the 

18 United Kingdom, the United States certifies that the 

19 Russian Federation is in non-compliance with its ob20 ligations under the [Chemical Weapons Conven21 tion].’’.

1 missile. . .In late 2017, Russia successfully 

2 launched its latest nuclear-powered missile at 

3 the central training ground. During its flight, 

4 the nuclear-powered engine reached its design 

5 capacity and provided the necessary propul6 sion.’’; 

7 (D) ‘‘[i]n December 2017, an innovative 

8 nuclear power unit for this unmanned under9 water vehicle completed a test cycle that lasted 

10 many years. . ..[t]he tests that were conducted

14 (E) ‘‘[b]y the way, we have yet to choose 

15 names for these two new strategic weapons, the

17 underwater vehicle. We are waiting for sugges18 tions from the Defence Ministry’’; 

19 (F) ‘‘A real technological breakthrough is 

20 the development of a strategic missile system 

21 with fundamentally new combat equipment- a 

22 gliding wing unit, which has also been success23 fully tested. . .[w]e called it the Avangard’’;

1 (G) ‘‘I want to specifically emphasise that 

2 the newly developed strategic arms - in fact, 

3 new types of strategic weapons- are not the re4 sult of something left over from the Soviet 

5 Union. Of course, we relied on some ideas from 

6 our ingenious predecessors. But everything I 

7 have described today is the result of the last 

8 several years, the product of dozens of research 

9 organisations, design bureaus and institute.’’. 

10 (3) During the House Armed Services Com11 mittee hearing on April 12, 2018, Secretary of De12 fense James Mattis was asked whether Russia 

13 should honor the terms of the treaty and limit its

13 that ‘‘the central challenge to the U.S. prosperity 

14 and security is the reemergence of long-term, stra15 tegic competition by what the National Security

12 SEC. 1608. DESIGNATION OF COMPONENT OF DEPARTMENT 

13 OF DEFENSE RESPONSIBLE FOR COORDINA14 TION OF HOSTED PAYLOAD INFORMATION. 

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

16 (1) Using commercially hosted payloads is an 

17 option for the Department of Defense that should be 

18 considered in analyses of alternatives, as it could in19 crease cost savings, speed up capability to orbit, and 

20 contribute to resilience through the use of 

21 disaggregated space systems by the Department. 

22 (2) The use by the Department of commercially 

23 hosted payloads has been limited so far, using com24 mercial satellites to host three experimental payloads 


May 11, 2018 (4:58 p.m.)

744 

1 to date, though the use of hosted payloads could ex2 pand in the future. 

3 (3) The Department does not have the knowl4 edge the Department needs to determine if commer5 cially hosted payloads are an acquisition approach 

6 worth pursuing. 

7 (4) The Department faces challenges in match8 ing payloads to commercial hosts, due to numerous 

9 logistical challenges to matching payloads to hosts, 

10 including coordinating the size, weight and power of 

11 the payload with the commercial host, and aligning 

12 acquisition and funding timelines between govern13 ment and commercial programs. 

14 (5) The Comptroller General of the United 

15 States in preliminary findings concluded that the 

16 space acquisition culture of the Department lacks 

17 sufficient knowledge, such as costs, technical param18 eters, and lessons learned, to determine the benefits 

19 and address the challenges of using commercially 

20 hosted payloads and that the existing knowledge is 

21 fragmented across the Department without any 

22 plans to consolidate it. 

23 (6) Programs are not required to report data 

24 on commercially hosted payloads to any centralized 

25 office or database, and leveraging cost and technical

1 data from hosted payload efforts could inform future 

2 interested programs and avoid duplication of efforts, 

3 but currently no such comprehensive data source ex4 ists. 

5 (b) DESIGNATION.—Not later than 30 days after the 

6 date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of De7 fense, in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, 

8 and other Secretaries of the military departments and the 

9 heads of Defense Agencies the Secretary determines ap10 propriate, shall designate a component of the Department 

11 of Defense or a military department to be responsible for 

12 coordinating information, processes, and lessons learned 

13 relating to using commercially hosted payloads across the 

14 military departments, Defense Agencies, and other appro15 priate elements of the Department of Defense. The func16 tions of such designated component shall include, at a 

17 minimum, the following: 

18 (1) Systematically collecting information from 

19 past and planned hosted payload arrangements to 

20 inform future acquisition planning and space system 

21 architecture design, including integration test data, 

22 lessons learned, and design solutions.

11 SEC. 1649. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NUCLEAR POSTURE OF 

12 THE UNITED STATES. 

13 It is the sense of Congress that— 

14 (1) for more than 70 years, the nuclear deter15 rent of the United States has played a central role 

16 in the national security of the United States and 

17 international stability; 

18 (2) the nuclear forces of the United States have 

19 and will continue to play a fundamental role in de20 terring aggression against the interests of the 

21 United States and the allies of the United States in 

22 an increasingly dangerous world; 

23 (3) strong, credible, and flexible nuclear forces 

24 of the United States assure the allies of the United 

25 States that the extended deterrence guarantees of 

26 the United States are credible and that the resolve

1 of the United States remains strong even in the face 

2 of nuclear provocations, including nuclear coercion 

3 and blackmail; 

4 (4) the 2017 National Security Strategy and 

5 the 2018 National Defense Strategy correctly assess 

6 that, due to increased global disorder and com7 plexity, the decline of the international rules-based 

8 order and security environment, and the erosion of 

9 the competitive advantages of the United States, 

10 interstate strategic competition must now be the pri11 mary focus of the national security strategy of the 

12 United States; 

13 (5) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review aligns 

14 with these conclusions, and recognizes that deter15 rence is dynamic, not static, and that while the nu16 clear posture and policies of the United States are 

17 underpinned by enduring consistency, such posture 

18 and policies must also undergo measured adjust19 ments to remain credible as threats evolve; 

20 (6) the Russian Federation has elevated the 

21 role of nuclear weapons in its strategies, is devel22 oping and deploying new nuclear capabilities (includ23 ing a recently announced nuclear-powered cruise 

24 missile and high-speed, nuclear-powered underwater 

25 drone), is violating many arms control agreements

2 nuclear threats against the United States and the al3 lies of the United States; 

4 (7) the United States remains committed to its 

5 full range of nuclear arms control and nonprolifera6 tion obligations and seeks continued engagement for 

7 prudent and verifiable agreements, however, the poli8 cies and actions of the United States must also hold 

9 states that violate arms control treaties accountable 

10 for such violations and take such violations into ac11 count when considering further arms control agree12 ments; 

13 (8) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

14 (NATO) plays an essential role in the national secu15 rity of the United States and NATO should continue 

16 to strengthen and align its nuclear and conventional 

17 deterrence posture, planning, and exercises to align 

18 with modern threats, including modernizing its dual19 capable aircraft, command and control networks, nu20 clear-related facilities, and conventional capabilities; 

21 (9) to deter large-scale, catastrophic war with 

22 Russia, the People’s Republic of China, and other 

23 potential adversaries, as well as reassure allies, the 

24 United States requires reliable, diverse, and 

25 tailorable nuclear forces that are able to respond to

1 a variety of current threats while preparing for fu2 ture uncertainty;

5 aircraft of the United States, directs the continu6 ation of the comprehensive nuclear modernization 

7 program initiated by the previous administration, 

8 and proposes two supplemental capabilities (a lower9 yield submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead 

10 and a sea-launched cruise missile) that will strength11 en deterrence and assurance and reduce the chances 

12 that nuclear weapons are used in conflict; 

13 (11) three successive Secretaries of Defense 

14 across two administrations have stated that nuclear 

15 deterrence is the highest priority mission of the De16 partment of Defense; and 

17 (12) in light of this prioritization, the age of 

18 the current nuclear forces and infrastructure of the 

19 United States, and the small percentage of the de20 fense budget that will be expended on the recapital21 ization of the nuclear deterrent of the United States,

2 DETERRENCE IN THE INDO-PACIFIC REGION. 

3 It is the sense of Congress that—

7 the security and stability of the entire Indo-Pacific 

8 region, including South Korea, Japan, and Aus9 tralia;

15 (3) the United States stands unwaveringly be16 hind its treaty obligations and assurances, including 

17 those related to defense and extended nuclear deter18 rence, to South Korea, Japan, and Australia; 

19 (4) the complete, verifiable, and irreversible 

20 denuclearization of the Democratic People’s Republic 

21 of Korea remains a central foreign policy objective

9 SENSOR ARCHITECTURE. 

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

11 (1) Absent a missile defense review, the budget 

12 of the President submitted to Congress under sec13 tion 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, for fis14 cal year 2019 did not propose funding for efforts 

15 within the Missile Defense Agency to further develop 

16 the Missile Defense Tracking System (a future space 

17 sensor architecture) and instead funds were provided 

18 to the Air Force to determine the plan of the De19 partment of Defense for future missile warning and 

20 tracking capabilities. 

21 (2) Delaying development and deployment of a 

22 space-based missile tracking capability further places

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

16 (1) The Department of Energy and its contrac17 tors rely to a significant extent on workers to bring 

18 attention to important nuclear safety concerns. 

19 (2) The Department of Energy, including the 

20 National Nuclear Security Administration, have a 

21 strong interest in preventing whistleblower retalia22 tion and in ensuring the work environment is condu23 cive to employees raising concerns.

g:\VHLC\051118\051118.302.xml (694536|4)
953 

1 (3) Retaliation against whistleblowers can lead 

2 to a chilled work environment in which employees do 

3 not feel free to raise important safety concerns. 

4 (4) The Comptroller General of the United 

5 States found in a 2016 report titled ‘‘Whistleblower 

6 Protections Need Strengthening’’ that the Depart7 ment of Energy had infrequently used its enforce8 ment authority to hold contractors accountable for 

9 unlawful retaliation, issuing only two violation no10 tices in the past 20 years. 

11 (5) The Comptroller General also found that 

12 the Department had taken limited or no action to 

13 hold contractors accountable for creating a chilled 

14 work environment. 

15 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con16 gress that— 

17 (1) raising nuclear safety concerns is important 

18 for avoiding potentially catastrophic incidents or 

19 harm to workers and the public; 

20 (2) the Department of Energy should protect 

21 whistleblowers and take action against contractors 

22 and subcontractors that retaliate against whistle23 blowers; and 

24 (3) such action sends a strong signal to prevent 

25 or limit retaliation against whistleblowers.

14 contractors of the Department making a whistleblower
