 The House bill would approve the budget request. 

 The conferees agree to recommend an additional $6.0 million 

for this program in section 4101 of this Act. The conferees 

note that the Department of Defense requested a transfer of 

funds of $8.0 million in November 2012 as an additional 

authorization to initiate this new program. 

Subtitle A–Authorization of Appropriations 

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) authorizing 

appropriations for fiscal year 2013 for procurement for the 

Army, the Navy and Marine Corps, the Air Force, and Defense-Wide 

activities, as specified in the funding table in section 4101. 

 The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 

101). 

The conference agreement includes this provision. 

Subtitle B–Army Programs 

Multiyear procurement authority for Army CH-47 helicopters (sec. 

111) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that would 

grant the Secretary of the Army authority to enter into a 

multiyear procurement contract in accordance with section 2306b 

of title 10, United States Code, for up to 5 years for CH-47 

helicopters. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

111). 

 The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. 

Reports on airlift requirements of the Army (sec. 112) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 112) that would 

require the Secretary of the Army to submit annual reports on 

the time-sensitive or mission-critical airlift requirements of 
4 

the Army, including an accounting of sorties flown in support of 

these requirements during the previous year. The first report 

would have been required on October 31, 2012. The requirement 

for the annual report would expire in fiscal year 2017. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment to change the due date 

for the first report to March 31, 2013. 

Subtitle C–Navy Programs 

Extension of Ford class aircraft carrier construction authority 

(sec. 121) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that would 

allow the Secretary of the Navy to buy all Ford-class aircraft 

carriers over a 6 year period, rather than over a 5 year period 

as currently allowed. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

122) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to buy Fordclass aircraft carriers designated CVN-79 and CVN-80 over a 6 

year period. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Multiyear procurement authority for Virginia class submarine 

program (sec. 122)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 126) that would 

authorize the Secretary of the Navy to buy not more than 10 

Virginia-class submarines under a multiyear procurement 

contract. The provision would also permit the Secretary to use 

incremental funding in that multiyear contract. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

124) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to buy 

Virginia-class submarines under a multiyear procurement 

contract. The provision would also permit the Secretary to use 

incremental funding for Virginia-class submarines to be procured 

during fiscal years 2013 through 2018 if the Secretary: (1) 

determines that such an approach would permit the Navy to 

procure an additional Virginia-class submarine in fiscal year 

2014; and (2) intends to use the funding for that purpose. 

 The House recedes. 

Multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh Burke class 

destroyers and associated systems (sec. 123)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that would 

authorize the Secretary of the Navy to buy not more than 10 
5 

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers under a multiyear procurement 

contract. The House provision did not specify which version of 

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers would be authorized within that 

authority. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 125) that 

would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to buy up to 10 

Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA destroyers under a multiyear 

procurement contract. 

 The House recedes. 

Limitation on availability of amounts for second Ford class 

aircraft carrier (sec. 124)

 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 123) that 

would limit fiscal year 2013 obligations for the Ford-class 

aircraft carrier program to 50 percent of the amount in the 

budget, pending submission of a report by the Secretary of the 

Navy to the congressional defense committees setting forth a 

description of the program management and cost control measures 

that will be employed in constructing the second Ford-class 

aircraft carrier. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Refueling and complex overhaul of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln 

(sec. 125) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 127) that would 

authorize the Secretary of the Navy to provide funding for the 

refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) of the U.S.S. Abraham 

Lincoln incrementally over a 2 year period. The provision would 

authorize $1,613.4 million for that purpose. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

121). 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 

authorized amount by $96.1 million. 

 Late this year, the Navy requested and was granted 

authority to reprogram $96.1 million from other fiscal year 2012 

programs to support the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln RCOH. This 

reduces the need to authorize the originally requested amount. 

Designation of mission modules of the Littoral Combat Ship as a 

major defense acquisition program (sec. 126)

 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 127) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to designate the effort 

to develop and produce all variants of the mission modules in 
6 

support of the Littoral Combat Ship program as a major defense 

acquisition program under section 2430 of title 10, United 

States Code. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Report on Littoral Combat Ship designs (sec. 127)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 128) that would 

require the Secretary of the Navy to submit to the congressional 

defense committees a report on the designs of the Littoral 

Combat Ship, including comparative cost and performance 

information for both designs of such ship. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Comptroller General review of Littoral Combat Ship program (sec. 

128)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 129) that would 

require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct 

a review of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program’s quality and 

a review of the U.S. Navy’s operational and sustainment support 

strategy for the program. In particular, the provision would 

direct the Comptroller General to review whether the Secretary 

of the Navy was complying with regulations in accepting delivery 

of LCS vessels. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 

acceptance compliance review to LCS-1 and LCS-2, the two lead 

ships in the program. 

The conferees note the Navy Board of Inspection and Survey 

released a July 2012 report regarding LCS “Material Condition 

and Maintainability.” This report highlights numerous 

sustainment issues that the conferees expect the Navy’s LCS 

Council to address. The conferees specifically note concerns 

with training requirements, Title 10 compliance for long-term 

maintenance requirements, potential operational impediments, 

corrosion control challenges, and manning, among other 

issues. The conferees also expect the Comptroller General to 

address these shortfalls, in addition to any other deficiencies 

he may find, and identify the steps the Navy is taking to ensure 

success for the long-term sustainment of LCS. 

Sense of Congress on importance of engineering in early stages 

of shipbuilding (sec. 129) 
7 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 130) that would 

state the sense of Congress about the importance of prioritizing 

early engineering in large ship construction. The provision 

would also encourage the Secretary of the Navy to do so. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Sense of Congress on nuclear-powered ballistic submarines (sec. 

130) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would 

require the Secretary of the Navy to maintain a minimum of 12 

ballistic missile submarines in the fleet. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that is a sense of 

Congress stating the importance of maintaining a 12 ballistic 

missile submarine fleet. 

Sense of Congress on Marine Corps amphibious lift and presence 

requirements (sec. 131) 

 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 131) that 

would state the sense of Congress that: 

(1) the Department of Defense should carefully 

evaluate the maritime force structure necessary to execute 

demand for forces by the commanders of the combatant 

commands; 

(2) the Department of the Navy should carefully 

evaluate amphibious lift capabilities to meet current and 

projected requirements; 

(3) the Department of the Navy should consider 

prioritization of investment in and procurement of the 

next-generation of amphibious assault ships, as a component 

of the balanced battle force; 

(4) the next-generation amphibious assault ships 

should maintain survivability protection; 

(5) operation and maintenance requirements analysis, 

as well as the potential to leverage a common hull form 

design, should be considered to reduce total ownership cost 

and acquisition cost; and 

(6) maintaining a robust amphibious ship building 

industrial base is vital for the future of the national 

security of the United States. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

130). 

 The House recedes. 
8 

Sense of the Senate on Department of the Navy fiscal year 2014 

budget request for tactical aviation aircraft (sec. 132) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 131) that 

would express the sense of the Senate that, if the budget 

request of the Department of the Navy for fiscal year 2014 for 

F–18 aircraft includes a request for funds for more than 13 new 

F–18 aircraft, the budget request of the Department of the Navy 

for fiscal year 2014 for F–35 aircraft should include a request 

for funds for not fewer than 6 F–35B aircraft and 4 F–35C 

aircraft, presuming that development, testing, and production of 

the F–35 aircraft are proceeding according to current plans. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 

Subtitle D–Air Force Programs 

Reduction in number of aircraft required to be maintained in 

strategic airlift aircraft inventory (sec. 141) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 142) that would 

require the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command, to submit a 

report assessing the operational risk for meeting the 

geographical combatant commanders’ airlift requirements with a 

fleet of less than 301 inter-theater airlift aircraft. The 

House bill would not allow retirements that would result in a 

strategic airlift force of fewer than 301 aircraft. 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 141) that 

would permit the Air Force to reduce the number of strategic 

airlift aircraft in its inventory from 301 aircraft to 275 

aircraft. It would require that the Secretary of the Air Force 

maintain any C-5A aircraft retired after September 30, 2012, in 

inviolate storage, with only the Secretary of Defense permitted 

to authorize the Air Force to take any spare parts from those 

aircraft. 

The Senate amendment also included a provision (sec. 1708) 

that would prevent the Air Force from using any fiscal year 2013 

funds to divest, retire, or transfer, or prepare to divest, 

retire, or transfer, any aircraft of the Air Force assigned to 

units of the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve as of May 

31, 2012. The provision would permit an exception to this 

prohibition for C-5A strategic airlift aircraft, if the 

Secretary of the Air Force were to replace such aircraft through 

a transfer of C–5B, C–5M, or C–17 aircraft so as to maintain all 

Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units impacted by such 

divestment or retirement at current or higher assigned manpower 

levels to operate the transferred aircraft. 
9 

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would permit the 

Air Force to reduce the number of strategic airlift aircraft in 

its inventory from 301 aircraft to 275 aircraft, but only after 

the Department of Defense conducts a comprehensive study that 

assesses the end-to-end, full-spectrum mobility requirements for 

all aspects of the National Military Strategy derived from the 

National Defense Strategy. The provision would also require 

that the Secretary of the Air Force preserve each C–5 aircraft 

that is retired by the Secretary during a period in which the 

total inventory of strategic airlift aircraft of the Secretary 

is less than 301, such that the retired aircraft: (1) is stored 

in flyable condition; (2) can be returned to service; and (3) is 

not used to supply parts to other aircraft, unless specifically 

authorized by the Secretary of Defense upon a request by the 

Secretary of the Air Force. 

Retirement of B-1 bomber aircraft (sec. 142) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that would 

require the Secretary of the Air Force to maintain 36 combatcoded B-1 bomber aircraft beyond fiscal year 2013. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Avionics systems for C–130 aircraft (sec. 143) 

 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that would 

prevent the Secretary of the Air Force from terminating the C–

130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) until 180 days after 

the Institute for Defense Analyses submits to the congressional 

defense committees a cost-benefit analysis of modernizing the 

legacy C–130 airlift fleet with C–130 AMP as compared to only 

modernizing the legacy C–130 airlift fleet with a reduced scope 

program for avionics and mission planning systems. 

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

143) that would delay Air Force implementation of the 

cancellation or modification of the AMP for the C-130 aircraft 

until 30 days after the receipt of a report submitted to the 

congressional defense committees. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delay 

implementation of any cancellation or modification of the C-130 

AMP effort until a period of 90 days has elapsed after the date 

on which the Secretary submits to the congressional defense 

committees the results of a cost-benefit analysis conducted by 

the Institute for Defense Analyses. 
10 

Treatment of certain programs for the F-22A Raptor aircraft as 

major defense acquisition programs (sec. 144)

 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 142) that 

would require that the Air Force report F-22A modernization and 

upgrade programs under the system of the Selected Acquisition 

Reports (SAR). 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would provide 

that: (1) the Secretary of Defense treat both Increment 3.2B of 

the F-22A modernization program and any future increment to 

modernize F-22A aircraft, if viewed as a standalone program as a 

major defense acquisition program (MDAP), as an MDAP, requiring 

the submission of a SAR to Congress; and (2) the Secretary of 

the Air Force report at least annually on the cost, schedule and 

performance of the F-22A Reliability and Maintainability 

Maturation Program (RAMMP) and the F-22A Structural Retrofit 

Program (SRP II). 

 The conferees find that requiring the Department of Defense 

(DOD) to establish as an MDAP Increment 3.2B, and possibly other 

increments, of the Air Force’s F-22 modernization program, would 

help ensure that these large, top-priority programs are subject 

to proper congressional oversight. 

However, the conferees find that doing the same for the 

RAMMP and SRP II efforts would not be appropriate. The Air 

Force is pursuing these efforts in addition to modernization and 

is spending substantial levels of research and development and 

procurement funding to ensure that the F-22A satisfies its 

original reliability and performance requirements. 

Given that these efforts are currently estimated to cost 

about $1.9 billion, the conferees, therefore find that 

continuing congressional oversight of these efforts is warranted 

and that separate annual reports on these efforts can assist in 

this oversight. Rather than view these efforts as only a 

continuously reprioritized list of maintainability initiatives 

that grow as more is learned, the conferees expect that the DOD 

will baseline these efforts in a way that will allow the DOD and 

Congress to gauge their progress on cost, schedule and 

performance over time. The conferees expect that the DOD will 

provide these baselines in the first report it would deliver to 

Congress under this provision. 

Subtitle E–Joint and Multiservice Matters 

Multiyear procurement authority for V–22 joint aircraft program 

(sec. 151) 
11 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 124) that would 

authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a multiyear 

contract to buy V–22 aircraft for the Department of the Navy, 

the Department of the Air Force, and the United States Special 

Operations Command. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

151) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter 

into one or more multiyear contracts for this purpose. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 

Secretary to enter into one or more multiyear contracts to buy 

V-22 aircraft. 

Procurement of space-based infrared systems satellites (sec. 

152) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 147) that would 

authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to enter into a fixedprice contract to procure two Space Based Infrared System 

(SBIRS) satellites, authorize incremental funding of the two 

SBIRS satellites over a period not to exceed 6 years, and 

establish a limitation on the total funds to be obligated and 

expended for the procurement. This section would also require 

the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees on contract details, cost 

savings, and plans for reinvesting the cost savings into 

capability improvements for future blocks of SBIRS satellites. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Limitation on availability of funds for evolved expendable 

launch vehicle program (sec. 153) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 146) that would 

limit 10 percent of the obligation or expenditure of fiscal year 

2013 funds authorized for the evolved expendable launch vehicle 

program until the Secretary of the Air Force submits a report 

describing the details of the acquisition approach. The report 

would include the anticipated savings, the planned number of 

launch vehicle booster cores to be procured, the number of years 

that the contract will last, an assessment of when new entrants 

will be certified to compete for evolved expendable launch 

vehicle class launches, the projected launch manifest with 

possible opportunities for new entrants to compete, and any 

other relevant analysis used to inform the acquisition strategy. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes and amends the House provision to remove 

the sense of Congress. 
12 

Limitation on availability of funds for retirement of RQ–4 

Global Hawk unmanned aircraft systems (sec. 154) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 152) that would 

prevent the Department of Defense from expending any funds to 

retire, prepare to retire, or place in storage RQ–4 Block 30 

Global Hawk unmanned aircraft systems. The provision would also 

require that the Secretary of the Air Force maintain the 

operational capability of each RQ–4 Block 30 Global Hawk 

unmanned aircraft system belonging to the Air Force or delivered 

to the Air Force until the end of calendar year 2014. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Requirement to set F–35 aircraft initial operational capability 

dates (sec. 155) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 151) that would 

require the Secretary of the Air Force to establish an initial 

operational capability (IOC) date for the F-35A. The provision 

would also require the Secretary of the Navy to establish an IOC 

date for the F-35B and the F-35C. The provision would further 

require that the Secretaries report on the details of such 

initial operational capability to the congressional defense 

committees by December 31, 2012. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment would delay the 

requirement for the Secretaries to establish IOC dates and 

report on the details until June 1, 2013. 

Shallow Water Combat Submersible program (sec. 156)

for competition within the JTRS program. These steps included 

acquisition decision memoranda for the JTRS program issued by 

the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 

Logistics in July and October, and a certification regarding 

Army competition by the Secretary of the Army received by the 

congressional defense committees on November 29, 2012. The 

conferees strongly agree with the direction provided to the JTRS 

program by these documents regarding the conduct of full and 

open competition for full-rate production of the handheld and 

manpack radios within the JTRS program. The conferees expect 

these competitions to be conducted in a manner that allows nonprogram of record vendors with qualified systems a free and open 

chance to compete. In addition, the conferees support DOD’s 

current plan for similar competitions in future years. These 

future competitions provide the best path to acquire the latest, 

best, and most affordable communications technology solutions to 

meet military requirements and at the same time avoid locking in 

long-term, sole-source contract arrangements that discourage 

competition. Given the rapidly changing nature of technology in 

the area of communications, the conferees encourage the DOD to 

constantly reexamine acquisition plans in this area in order to 

ensure that the DOD acquires the very best and most affordable 

equipment possible.

Limitation on availability of funds for future manned ground 

moving target indicator capability of the Air Force 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would 

prohibit obligation of funding for any activity, including preMilestone A activities, to initiate a new start acquisition 

program to provide the Air Force with a manned ground moving 

target indicator (GMTI) capability or manned dismount moving 

target indicator capability until 90 days after submission of a 

report by the Secretary of the Air Force. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 
29 

 The conferees note that the Air Force’s analysis of 

alternatives (AoA) for a GMTI capability recommended a 

combination of: (1) manned aircraft based on smaller business 

jets; (2) and unmanned capability in the form of the Global Hawk 

Block 40 unmanned system. 

The Air Force Chief of Staff testified that the Air Force 

could not afford to implement the recommendations of the AoA. 

Nevertheless, the Air Force has not proposed any alternative 

plan to modernize or replace the manned GMTI capability, and 

associated on-board command and control capability, currently 

provided by the Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar 

System (JSTARS). 

The conferees believe that the capability provided by the 

JSTARS is a critical element of the future Air Force 

intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) fleet. The 

conferees note that the Air Force’s Fleet Viability Board raised 

concerns about the long-term supportability of JSTARS aircraft, 

which are based on a 60 year-old commercial aircraft design. 

The conferees further note that rapid advances in the areas of 

sensors and communication links may make it difficult for the 

Air Force to precisely define long-term future requirements in 

this mission area at this time. 

 Nevertheless, the Air Force needs to develop a plan to 

provide an updated GMTI capability meeting joint warfighting 

requirements. The capability must include the flexibility to 

incorporate current and future sensor and communications 

architectures that can be integrated as they evolve in the 

future. The conferees are concerned that, absent such a 

modernization plan, the Air Force may lose its ability to 

provide this capability to the joint force in the future.

require the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to ensure that the SeaBased X-band radar (SBX) is maintained in a status such that the 

radar may be deployed in less than 14 days and for at least 60 

days each year. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Department of Defense has 

placed the SBX radar in a Limited Test Support Status that would 

permit it to be deployed within 30 days and to operate for up to 

60 days at sea each year. The conferees direct the Director of 

the MDA to submit to the congressional defense committees, not 

later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act, an 

assessment of the potential benefits and drawbacks of reducing 

the deployment readiness timeline of SBX from 30 to 14 days.

international agreements, the authority to retain 

intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch facilities 

supporting the deployed strategic nuclear delivery vehicles 

within the limit of 800 deployed and non-deployed strategic 

launchers; maintain ICBM on alert or operationally deployed; and 

preserve ICBM silos in operational or warm status. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees believe it is important to ensure that the 

Air Force in its ICBM Master Plan and System Roadmap detail a 

long-term sustainment acquisition strategy to ensure the 

existing ICBMs and their supporting infrastructure are well 

maintained through 2030. The conferees direct the Air Force and

Federal Regulations. 

Subtitle C-Logistics and Sustainment 

Expansion and reauthorization of multi-trades demonstration 

project (sec. 321) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 321) that would 

amend section 338 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136), as most recently amended 

by section 329 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
38 

Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181). 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

322). 

 The Senate recedes. 

Restoration and amendment of certain provisions relating to 

depot-level maintenance and core logistics capabilities (sec. 

322) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 322) that would 

further amend sections 2460 and 2464 of title 10, United States 

Code, as amended by sections 321 and 327 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 321) that 

would repeal the amendments made by sections 321 and 327 and 

revive sections 2460 and 2464 as in effect prior to the 

enactment of Public Law 112-81. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would amend the 

revived sections 2460 and 2464 to: (1) clarify the treatment of 

nuclear refueling opportunities for aircraft carriers; and (2) 

require the Secretary of Defense to submit a biennial report to 

Congress on core depot-level maintenance and repair capability 

requirements and sustaining workloads. 

The conferees note that this provision includes conforming 

changes to sections 2366a and 2366b of title 10, United States 

Code. Sections 2366a and 2366b, as amended by this provision, 

would require a determination of the applicability of core 

logistics capabilities requirements prior to a Milestone A 

decision, an assessment of core logistics capabilities and 

associated sustaining workloads prior to a Milestone B decision, 

and a detailed definition of core logistics capabilities and 

associated sustaining workloads prior to any contract for lowrate initial production of a major defense acquisition program. 

The purpose of these requirements is to ensure that the 

Department of Defense fully considers and plans for life cycle 

sustainment needs, including core logistics capabilities, early 

in the acquisition cycle. In the view of the conferees, the 

Department has too often limited its sustainment options by 

deferring key decisions until a major weapon system is ready, or 

nearly ready, to be fielded. The early consideration of and 

deliberate planning for sustainment needs required by this 

provision should preserve a broader range of options and result 

in a more comprehensive and balanced approach to core logistics 

capabilities. 

Rating chains for system program managers (sec. 323) 
39 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 323) that 

would require that the Secretary of the Air Force, in managing 

system program management responsibilities for sustainment 

programs not assigned to a program executive officer or a direct 

reporting program manager, comply with the Department of Defense 

Instructions regarding assignment of program responsibility. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

The conferees agree that this direction should not be 

construed to be taking any particular position on the Air 

Force’s plans to reorganize the Air Force Materiel Command 

(AFMC). Elsewhere in this Act, the conferees recommend a 

requirement that the Secretary of Defense provide a report on 

the Air Force’s planned reorganization of AFMC organizations. 

Subtitle D-Readiness 

Intergovernmental support agreements with State and local 

governments (sec. 331) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 331) that would 

authorize the Department of Defense to enter into 

intergovernmental support agreements with State or local 

government for the procurement of installation support services. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 

provision and prevent abuse of the new authority. 

Expansion and reauthorization of pilot program for availability 

of working-capital funds for product improvements (sec. 332) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 333) that would 

expand and reauthorize a pilot program resourced through working 

capital funds for product improvements. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees encourage the Services to use this pilot 

authorization to use working capital funds to pursue initiatives 

costing less than $1,000,000 for each item that would upgrade, 

modernize, or retrofit a component or subsystem of an existing 

weapon system platform or major end item of a weapon system 

currently sustained in the service inventory. 

The limitation on the use of this pilot program to pursue 

significant change to capabilities is intended by the conferees 

to preclude the use of working capital funds to develop new 

versions of equipment, to expand the performance envelope of a 

current system, or to acquire new types of systems, while still 
40 

allowing for performance enhancements that improve reliability, 

sustainability, and maintainability in current systems. 

Department of Defense national strategic ports study and 

Comptroller General studies and reports on strategic ports (sec. 

333) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3510) that would 

express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense 

should expedite completion of the study of strategic ports in 

the United States. The provision would also direct that the 

Comptroller General: (1) review the Secretary’s report; and (2) 

conduct his own review of the status of strategic ports. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment to direct the 

Comptroller General to conduct a sufficiency review of the 

Secretary’s report. 

Subtitle E-Reports 

Annual report on Department of Defense long-term corrosion 

strategy (sec. 341) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 331) that 

would amend section 371 of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181, 10 U.S.C. 2228) to 

require the Department of Defense to provide additional 

information on corrosion projects in reports to Congress. The 

additional information includes validated returns on investment 

for completed corrosion projects, activities, and information on 

how corrosion funding is used for military projects, the 

Technical Corrosion Collaboration pilot program, and other 

corrosion-related activities. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Report on joint strategy for readiness and training in a C4ISRdenied environment (sec. 342) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec.341) that would 

direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on the 

readiness of the joint force to conduct operations in 

environments where there is no access to command, control, 

communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and 

reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. The provision also would 

require the development of a C4ISR-denied environment roadmap 

and exercise plan. 
41 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes. 

Comptroller General review of annual Department of Defense 

report on prepositioned materiel and equipment (sec. 343)

Subtitle F-Limitations and Extension of 

Authority 

Repeal of redundant authority to ensure interoperability of law 

enforcement and emergency responder training (sec. 351) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 351) that would 

amend section 372 of title 10, United States Code, to ensure 
42 

that Department of Defense support to a federal, state, or local 

law enforcement or emergency response agency to prepare for or 

respond to an emergency involving chemical or biological agents 

is consistent with the national preparedness system and other 

statutory changes made since the creation of the Department of 

Homeland Security. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

343) that would result in an identical outcome. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Aerospace control alert mission (sec. 352) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 352) that would: 

(1) prevent Department of Defense from spending any funds to 

disestablish or downgrade any of the 18 level 5 aerospace 

control alert (ACA) defense locations in existence as of the 

date of the enactment of this Act; and (2) establish a 

consolidated budget justification display that fully identifies 

the baseline ACA budget for each of the military services, and 

encompasses all programs and activities of the ACA mission. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment to eliminate the 

language prohibiting disestablishing or downgrading ACA 

locations. The conferees understand that the Air Force now has 

no plans to disestablish any ACA units. 

Limitation on authorization of appropriations for the National 

Museum of the United States Army (sec. 353) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 353) that would 

limit the obligation or expenditure of funds for the National 

Museum of the United States Army until the Secretary of the Army 

submits to the congressional defense committees written 

certification that sufficient private funding has been raised to 

fund construction of the “baseline museum” and that at least 50 

percent of the baseline museum has been completed. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes. 

Limitation on availability of funds for retirement or 

inactivation of Ticonderoga class cruisers or dock landing ships 

(sec. 354)

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 354) that would 

limit the obligation and expenditure of funds authorized to be 

appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2013 

for the retirement, inactivation, or storage of a cruiser or 
43 

dock landing ship. The provision would provide an exception for 

the retirement of the U.S.S. Port Royal (CG-73). Finally, the 

provision would require the Secretary of the Navy to maintain 

the operational capability and perform the necessary maintenance 

of the cruisers and dock landing ships in support of operational 

requirements of the combatant commands. 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 344) that 

would express the sense of the Congress on Navy fleet 

requirements, including the fact that the Secretary of the Navy 

should maintain the operational capability and perform the 

necessary maintenance and for each cruiser and dock landing ship 

belonging to the Navy. 

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 

the exception for the retirement of the U.S.S. Port Royal. The 

U.S.S. Port Royal incurred significant damage following a 

grounding incident in 2009. Although the Navy indicates that 

the ship never completely recovered from the grounding, the Navy 

has not provided adequate analysis and cost data on the 

structural condition of the ship. 

Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy 

to conduct a detailed material condition assessment of the 

U.S.S. Port Royal that will: 

(1) include a comprehensive inspection of the ship’s 

major structural, machinery, electrical, combat and weapons 

systems elements; 

(2) identify the necessary repairs and modernization, 

including detailed costs to make those repairs and 

upgrades, that would be required for the ship to meet its 

expected service life, consistent with other ships in the 

Ticonderoga-class; 

(3) be conducted by the Navy, with the results 

evaluated by the appropriate Navy technical authority; and 

(4) be reviewed by an independent board of subject 

matter experts, from industry and the Department of 

Defense. 

 The conferees further direct the Secretary to submit the 

results of that assessment, along with results of independent 

reviews of that assessment, to the congressional defense 

committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act. The 

conferees further direct that the Government Accountability 

Office conduct a sufficiency review of this report. The 

Secretary shall also provide the congressional defense 

committees a status update on the assessments within 120 days of 

enactment of this Act. 

Renewal of expired prohibition on return of veterans memorial 

objects without specific authorization in law (sec. 355) 
44 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 355) that would 

prohibit the transfer of a veterans memorial object to a foreign 

country unless the transfer is specially authorized by law or 

the transfer is made after September 30, 2017. 

 The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 

1093). 

The conference agreement includes this provision. 

Subtitle G—National Commission on the 

Structure of the Air Force 

National commission on the structure of the Air Force (secs. 

361-367)

The Senate amendment contained a provision (secs. 1701-

1707) that would create a commission to study the appropriate 

makeup of the Air Force, considering that the Department of the 

Air Force draws upon active duty forces, the Air Force Reserve, 

and the Air National Guard. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes with an amendment that would have the 

commission focus on longer-term decisions, but would not freeze 

near-term force structure changes pending the recommendations of 

the commission. The amendment would also adjust the direction 

to the commission from focusing on maximizing achievable costs 

savings to a focus on maximizing and appropriately balancing 

affordability, efficiency, effectiveness, capability, and 

readiness. 

Subtitle H—Other Matters 

Military working dog matters (sec. 371) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 361) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to change the classification of 

military working dogs from equipment to canine members of the 

armed forces, establish and maintain a system to provide for the 

lifetime veterinary care of retired military working dogs by 

contracting with a private non-profit entity, establish policies 

to ease the cost of transporting retired military working dogs 

for the purposes of adoption, and create a decoration or other 

recognition for military working dogs killed in action or that 

perform meritorious acts in service to the United States. The 

provision would also authorize the service secretaries to 

transfer retired military working dogs if no suitable adoption 
45 

is available at the military facility where the dog is located. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1049) that 

would authorize the service secretaries to transfer retired 

military working dogs if no suitable adoption is available at 

the military facility where the dog is located, authorize the 

Secretary of Defense to establish and maintain a system to 

provide for the veterinary care of retired military working 

dogs, and authorize the recognition of military working dogs 

that are killed, wounded, or missing in action and military 

working dogs that perform an exceptionally meritorious or 

courageous act in service to the United States. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 

the service secretaries to transfer retired military working 

dogs if no suitable adoption is available at the military 

facility where the dog is located, and authorize the Secretary 

of Defense to establish and maintain a system to provide for the 

veterinary care of retired military working dogs, provided that 

no federal government funds are provided for that purpose. 

Comptroller General review of handling, labeling, and packaging 

procedures for hazardous material shipments (sec. 372) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 363) that would 

require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct 

a review of the policies and procedures of the Department of 

Defense (DOD) for handling, labeling and packaging hazardous 

material shipments. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees expect DOD, during the period while the 

review by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is under 

way, to continue to ensure the safety of the public and the 

security of sensitive and hazardous shipments, and to monitor 

driver and carrier performance. Within 60 days of completion of 

the GAO review, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure that DOD 

re-engages with the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 

and the House of Representatives regarding the appropriate level 

of mandatory safety standards. The conferees also intend that 

DOD will still conduct the review required by the Item of 

Special Interest entitled “Safety and security standards for 

Department of Defense hazardous materials transport” contained 

in Senate Report 112-173 accompanying the National Defense 

Authorization Act of 2013 (S. 3254) and report to the Committees 

on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 

within 30 days of the completion of that review. 

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
46 

Authorization of appropriations of funds for inactivation 

execution of the U.S.S. Enterprise 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 302) that would 

provide incremental funding authority for inactivating the 

U.S.S. Enterprise (CVN-65), and would limit the total amount to 

be obligated and expended by the Secretary of the Navy for this 

activity to no more than $708.0 million. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Funding of agreements under the Sikes Act 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 312) that 

would amend the Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670 et seq) to allow funds 

committed by the Department of Defense for a cooperative 

agreement to be made in a lump sum and retained in an interest 

bearing account. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Modification of definition of chemical substance 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 312) that would 

modify the definition of chemical substance contained in section 

2602 of title 15, United States Code, known as the Toxic 

Substances Control Act. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Exemption of Department of Defense from alternative fuel 

procurement requirement 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 313) that would 

exempt the Department of Defense from section 526 of the Energy 

Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-140), 

regarding greenhouse gas emissions. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Southern sea otter military readiness areas 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 316) that would, 

among other things, create military readiness areas near the 

coast of southern California. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 
47 

 The House recedes. 

Sense of Congress regarding decontamination of former 

bombardment area on island of Culebra, Puerto Rico 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 318) that would 

express the sense of Congress regarding the former bombardment 

area on the island of Culebra, Puerto Rico. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

The conferees note that the Committees on Armed Services of 

the Senate and the House of Representatives have received the 

report required by Section 2815 of the Ike Skelton National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-

383). The U.S. Navy used parts of Culebra as a bombardment area 

for several decades before the property was transferred by deed 

from the United States to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in 

1982 at the Commonwealth’s request. The report identified the 

Former Bombardment Area on the island of Culebra as priority 2 

when applying the Munitions Response Site Prioritization 

Protocol to identify the relative risks posed, which is the 

highest relative risk ranking possible for a Munitions Response 

Site that is known or suspected to contain only conventional 

military munitions. Therefore, the conferees encourage the 

Department of Defense to continue working with the Commonwealth 

of Puerto Rico to address unexploded munitions for the 

protection of the public who visit the area, specifically 

Flamenco Beach, Carlos Rosario Trail and Beach, and Tamarindo 

Beach. 

Sense of Congress regarding the performance of commercially 

available activities by Department of Defense civilian employees 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 323) that would 

express the sense of Congress regarding the performance of 

commercially available activities by Department of Defense 

civilian employees. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Center of Excellence for the National Guard State Partnership 

Program 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 334) that would 

amend chapter 5 of title 32, United States Code, by authorizing 

the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to maintain a Center of 

Excellence for the National Guard State Partnership Program to 
48 

provide training opportunities for units and members of the 

active and reserve components for the purpose of improving the 

skills for such units and members when deployed to complete the 

mission of the State Partnership Program. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Comptroller General of the United States report reviewing 

methodology of Department of Defense relating to costs of 

performance by civilian employees, military personnel, and 

contractors 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 345) that would 

require the Comptroller General to review Department of Defense 

methodology relating to costs of performance by civilian 

employees, military personnel, and contractors. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Comptroller General to conduct a 

review of Department of Defense Directive-Type Memorandum 09-007 

entitled “Estimating and Comparing the Full Costs of Civilian 

and Military Manpower and Contractor Support” or successor 

guidance to determine whether the methodology used in the 

memorandum reflects the actual, relevant, and quantifiable costs 

to taxpayers of performance by Federal civilian employees, 

military personnel, and contractors. In conducting this review, 

the conferees expect the Comptroller General to consult with 

appropriate officials in the Department of Defense, to include, 

at a minimum, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 

Readiness, the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 

Evaluation, and the Office of Management and Budget, and with 

experts and interested parties in the private sector. The 

conferees direct the Comptroller General to submit a report 

including his findings and recommendations to the congressional 

defense committees by not later than 270 days after the date of 

the enactment of this Act. The report shall contain the results 

of the review and make recommendations for any statutory or 

policy changes that the Comptroller General determines are 

necessary to ensure that the memorandum reviewed appropriately 

addresses the actual, relevant, and quantifiable costs to 

taxpayers for Federal civilian employees, military personnel, 

and contractors. 

Report on medical evacuation policies 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 346) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to report on Department of 
49 

Defense policies, procedures, and guidelines for helicopter 

evacuation of injured service members performed by unarmed Army 

helicopters and armed Air Force helicopters. The provision 

would also require the Comptroller General to submit to the 

congressional defense committees an analysis of this report. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees commend the Department of Defense for its 

continuous efforts to improve aeromedical evacuation standards 

and operations, which have contributed to the highest survival 

rate for wounded and ill service members in United States 

history. 

The conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide 

to the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives a declassified version of the May 2012 Chairman 

of the Joint Chiefs review of aeromedical evacuation procedures 

in the United States Central Command area of responsibility. In 

addition, the conferees note that the report accompanying the 

House bill (H. Rept. 112-479) contains an item of special 

interest that directs the Secretary of the Army to establish, by 

September 1, 2012, a Department-wide standard that requires all 

in-flight medical care providers to be critical care flight 

paramedic certified within the next 3 years. The conferees 

direct the Army to provide the Committees on Armed Services of 

the Senate and the House of Representatives with a briefing on 

the status of its compliance with the certification mandates set 

forth in the House report, and its plans to continuously advance 

the quality and effectiveness of aeromedical evacuation 

standards and operations, no later than March 1, 2013. 

Report on providing telecommunications services to uniformed 

personnel transiting through foreign airports 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 347) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional 

defense committees a report on the feasibility of providing 

market rate or below-market rate telecommunications services to 

service members transiting through foreign airports while 

traveling to and from overseas deployments, and to investigate 

allegations of telecom companies specifically targeting 

uniformed military personnel in transit overseas, charging them 

above-market rates for telecom services. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees are aware of instances where U.S. service 

members transiting through international airports experienced 

unexpectedly high rates for international telephone calls. The 
50 

conferees recognize that foreign companies may charge high rates 

for operator-assisted international telephone service back to 

the United States and are concerned that this practice is 

disadvantageous to service members transiting to and from 

foreign locations, often returning from overseas deployments. 

The conferees expect commanders and the Department to do more to 

educate service members about telecommunications rates when 

transiting foreign airports and encourage the Department to 

provide alternative, lower-cost methods of communication for 

service members returning from deployments, where possible. 

Survey and report on personal protection equipment needed by 

members of the Armed Forces deployed on the ground in combat 

zones 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 348) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a survey among 

members and former members of the Armed Forces requesting 

information related to personal protection equipment. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Assistance for homeland defense mission training 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 362) that would 

authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide funding assistance 

for the operation and maintenance of any State training center 

certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as capable 

of providing emergency response training. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Funding for maintenance of force structure of the Air Force 

pending commission recommendations 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1709) that 

would authorize an additional $1.4 billion to pay for additional 

Air Force force structure required by another provision in the 

Senate bill (sec. 1708). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Air Force assessments of the effects of proposed movements of 

airframes on joint readiness training 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1711) that 

would require the Secretary of the Air Force to: (1) undertake 
51 

an assessment of the effects of currently proposed movements of 

Air Force airframes on Green Flag East and Green Flag West joint 

readiness training; and (2) if the Secretary determines it 

appropriate, submit to the congressional defense committees a 

report setting forth a proposal to make future replacements of 

capabilities for purposes of augmenting training at the joint 

readiness training center or for such other purposes as the 

Secretary considers appropriate. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes. 

The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force to 

assess the effects of the Department of the Air Force force 

structure retirements, divestments, and transfers on joint 

readiness training, particularly military airlift support and 

combined arms combat training exercises with other services, and 

to provide the congressional defense committees a report by 

April 1, 2013, with the results of Secretary’s assessment, 

including the Secretary’s recommendations for improving 

participation in joint training opportunities.

Annual limitation on end strength reductions for regular 

component of the Army and Marine Corps (sec. 403) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 403) that would 

require the President to submit to Congress as part of the 

annual budget a certification that reductions in Army and Marine 

Corps end strength would not undermine ability to meet the 

requirements of the National Security Strategy, increase 

security risks, or compel members to endure diminished dwell 

time between deployments. The provision would also limit annual 

reductions in Army and Marine Corps end strength to no more than 

15,000 soldiers and 5,000 marines measured from that service’s 

end strength at the end of the preceding fiscal year. Finally, 

the provision would prohibit the use of Overseas Contingency 

Operations (OCO) funding to pay for end strength requirements. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 
53 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 

certification requirement and OCO budgeting restriction. 

 The conferees remain concerned with the pace of the planned 

drawdown of the ground forces while the nation is still at war, 

as well as the impact of further defense budget reductions on 

personnel accounts. It is imperative that the Department fully 

fund its end strength requirements in accordance with the 

services’ force reduction plans in the annual budgets through 

2017. 

Additional Marine Corps personnel for the Marine Corps Security 

Guard Program (sec. 404) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 402) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 

Secretary of State, to develop and implement a plan to increase 

the number of members of the Marine Corps assigned to the Marine 

Corps Embassy Security Group at Quantico, Virginia, and Marine 

Security Group Regional Commands and Marine Security Group 

detachments at United States embassies, consulates, and other 

diplomatic facilities by up to 1,000 marines. The purpose of 

the increase is to provide additional end strength and resources 

to support enhanced Marine Corps security at embassies and 

consulates, and other diplomatic facilities. 

The provision would further require the President to 

provide certain funding information on the marine security guard 

program with the budget submission for fiscal years 2014 through 

2017. The provision would require that the Marine Corps fully 

resource the embassy security mission without degrading 

readiness to fulfill its requirements under the National 

Military Strategy prescribed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 

of Staff. Finally, the provision would require the Secretary to 

submit a report to Congress by October 1, 2013, and annually 

thereafter through 2017, on implementation of program increases 

required by this provision. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 

annual reports through 2017 to one report due no later than 

October 1, 2013, and would make other technical and conforming 

amendments. 

The provision will ensure that the increase in the Marine 

Corps security guard program in any year up to 1,000 additional 

marines will be authorized and funded over and above end 

strength needed for the Marine Corps’ core mission requirements. 

The conferees believe that enhanced embassy security and support 

of the Marine Corps’ core missions are essential, that one 

mission shall not be funded at the expense of the other, and 
54 

that each must be fully resourced in future budget requests so 

as not to undermine readiness, as required by this provision. 

 

Subtitle B-Reserve Forces 

End strengths for Selected Reserve (sec. 411) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 411) that would 

authorize the following end strengths for Selected Reserve

 The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 

the Secretary to require consideration of military training and 
69 

experience when granting state certifications and licenses for 

nonemergency medical professionals, emergency medical 

professionals, and commercial driver’s licenses and would 

require the Secretary to publish certain information on the 

Internet website of the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

Department of Defense review of access to military installations

Subtitle G-Defense Dependents’ Education 

and Military Family Readiness

Continuation of authority to assist local educational agencies 

that benefit dependents of members of the Armed Forces and 

Department of Defense civilian employees (sec. 561) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 561) that would 

authorize $25.0 million for continuation of the Department of 

Defense (DOD) assistance program to local educational agencies 

(LEAs) that are impacted by the enrollment of dependent children 

of military members and DOD civilian employees. The provision 

would also authorize $5.0 million for assistance to LEAs with 

significant changes in enrollment of school-aged dependents of 

military members and civilian employees due to base closures, 

force structure changes, or force relocations. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 572) that 

would authorize $25.0 million for the assistance program to LEAs 

impacted by the enrollment of dependent children of military 
72 

members and civilian employees. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 

$25.0 million for continuation of the assistance program to LEAs 

that are impacted by the enrollment of dependent children of 

military members and DOD civilian employees. The amendment 

would also authorize $5.0 million for assistance to LEAs with 

significant changes in enrollment of school-aged dependents of 

military members and civilian employees due to base closures, 

force structure changes, or force relocations, and extend for 2 

years the authority to provide such assistance. Additionally, 

an obsolete funding reference would be repealed. 

 The conferees note that for more than two decades, Congress 

has authorized and appropriated DOD funds to supplement the 

federal Impact Aid program administered by the U.S. Department 

of Education, which provides assistance to local school 

districts with concentrations of federally connected children, 

including those who reside on Indian lands and military bases, 

and compensates school districts that have lost tax revenue 

because federal land is exempt from local property taxes. DOD 

Impact Aid funds are authorized for districts in which military 

dependents make up at least 20 percent of average daily 

attendance, assistance for children with severe disabilities, 

and assistance for school districts significantly affected by 

base realignment and closure or relocation of military units. 

 In a March 2011 report, the Comptroller General found that, 

“Little is known about the specific use and effectiveness of DOD 

Impact Aid and there are no national data on military dependent 

students as a group” (“Education of Military Dependent Students: 

Better Information Needed to Assess Student Performance” (GAO11-231)). 

 The conferees note that supplemental funding for LEAs has 

never been requested by DOD and comes at a cost by drawing from 

funds required for military readiness and operations, and 

believe that in light of current fiscal challenges faced by DOD, 

the availability of information on the effective use of funds 

realigned from readiness to supplement other federal assistance 

programs takes on greater importance. Therefore, the conferees 

direct DOD to continue its work with the U.S. Department of 

Education to obtain data on student performance for military 

connected children based on its commitment, noted in the January 

2011 report titled “Strengthening Our Military Families,” and to 

work in collaboration with the congressional defense committees 

to identify effective strategies for the use of supplemental 

assistance to LEAs to improve academic performance by and 

support of military connected children, including those with 

severe disabilities, for future consideration by Congress should 

DOD funds be made available for this purpose. 
73 

Impact Aid for children with severe disabilities (sec. 562) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 571) that 

would authorize $5.0 million in Operation and Maintenance, 

Defense-wide, for Impact Aid payments for children with 

disabilities using the criteria set forth in section 363 of the 

Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2001 (Public Law 106-398), for continuation of Department 

of Defense assistance to local educational agencies that benefit 

eligible military dependents with severe disabilities. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Amendments to the Impact Aid program (sec. 563) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 573) that

calculation to determine the payment owed to federal property 

districts and establish a foundation payment for eligible 

districts; clarify how to calculate eligible children displaced 

from housing located on federal property due to renovation, 

rebuilding, or demolition; and accelerate the deadline for the 

Department of Education to make final payments to districts. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would: provide a 

second option when determining a school district’s foundation 

payment, expedite past year foundation payments, and clarify 

foundation payments for districts determined eligible after 

fiscal year 2010; and clarify the process whereby eligibility 

determinations for displaced children are made in order to allow 

payments to be finalized more quickly, and remove references to 

“demolition”. The amendment would sunset after 2 years, after 

which the provisions would be repealed. 

Transitional compensation for dependent children who are carried 

during pregnancy at time of dependent-abuse offense committed by 

an individual while a member of the Armed Forces (sec. 564)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 562) that would 

amend section 1059 of title 10, United States Code, to include 

children who were carried during pregnancy at the time of a 

dependent abuse offense within the program to provide 

transitional compensation for spouses and dependents of service 

members separated for such offenses. The provision would also 

clarify that spouses and dependents who are not residing with 
74 

the service member at the time of the abuse offense are eligible 

for the compensation. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

661). 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Modification of authority to allow Department of Defense 

domestic dependent elementary and secondary schools to enroll 

certain students (sec. 565)

federal employee who had been enrolled in the overseas defense 

dependents’ education school system and was evacuated to enroll 

in a Department of Defense (DOD) domestic elementary and 

secondary education school near the safe haven where they were 

evacuated, for the duration of the school year. The provision 

would also authorize the dependent of an active duty service 

member who was enrolled in the defense dependents’ education 

school system overseas who, upon returning to the United States, 

is enrolled in an elementary or secondary school operated by a 

local educational agency to enroll in the DOD Education Activity 

Virtual School on a tuition-paying basis. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 575) that 

would authorize the tuition-free enrollment in DOD elementary 

and secondary schools for dependents who have left a school 

overseas pursuant to an authorized departure or evacuation order 

and whose safe haven location is within commuting distance of a 

DOD school. The provision would also authorize the Secretary of 

Defense to allow the enrollment of dependents of active duty 

service members located in the United States who are 

transitioning from a DOD overseas school to be able to take 

courses in the DOD Education Activity Virtual School on a 

tuition-paying basis. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 

the dependent of an active duty service member or federal 

employee who had been enrolled in the overseas defense 

dependents’ education school system and was evacuated to enroll 

in a DOD domestic elementary and secondary education school near 

the safe haven where they were evacuated. Such enrollment would 

be limited only for the duration of the school year, unless 

waived by the Secretary of Defense. The provision would also 

authorize the dependent of an active duty service member who was 

enrolled in the defense dependents’ education school system 

overseas who, upon returning to the United States, is enrolled 

in an elementary or secondary school operated by a local 

educational agency to enroll in the DOD Education Activity 
75 

Virtual School on a tuition-paying basis. 

Noncompetitive appointment authority regarding certain military 

spouses (sec. 566) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 574) that 

would codify and expand existing authority for noncompetitive 

hiring in the civilian workforce of certain military spouses. 

Under current regulations (5 C.F.R. 315.612), spouses of active 

duty service members on permanent change of station orders, 

spouses of 100 percent disabled service members injured while on 

active duty, and unremarried widows or widowers of a service 

member who was killed on active duty are eligible for 

noncompetitive appointments. This provision would expand this 

hiring authority to all military spouses who relocate to a 

service member’s permanent duty station, remove the 2 year 

limitation on length of hiring eligibility for spouses who 

relocate, and specify use of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 

schedule for rating disabilities to determine a 100 percent 

disability-rating. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with several clarifying amendments 

stating that: in order to be eligible, a relocating spouse of a 

service member must be married to the member on or prior to the 

permanent change of station of the member; the single 

appointment per duty station limitation applies to a permanent 

appointment; and specifying the rules regarding the spouse of a 

disabled or deceased service member. 

Report on future of family support programs of the Department of 

Defense (sec. 567) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 577) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 

congressional defense committees a report on the anticipated 

future of Department of Defense and service family support 

programs over the next 5 years. The report would include an 

assessment by the Secretary of the Army of the Family Readiness 

Support Assistant (FRSA) program and a description of any 

planned or anticipated changes to that program. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 

committees a report on the anticipated future of Department of 

Defense and service family support programs over the next 5 

years. 

 The conferees note that service members have raised 
76 

concerns over the future of the Army’s FRSA program and request 

that the Secretary ensure that a detailed discussion of the 

future plans for the FRSA program are included in this report. 

Sense of Congress regarding support for Yellow Ribbon Day (sec. 

568) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 566) that would 

express the sense of Congress in support of the goals and ideals 

of Yellow Ribbon Day in honor of members of the armed forces and 

American civilians serving overseas in defense of the United 

States. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

576). 

The House recedes with an amendment that would express the 

support of Congress for the goals and ideals of Yellow Ribbon 

Day in honor of service members and other individuals of the 

United States who are serving overseas. 

The conferees note that the yellow ribbon is often 

recognized as a symbol of support for members of the armed 

forces and other American individuals serving overseas apart 

from their families and loved ones and that designation of a 

Yellow Ribbon Day would serve as an additional reminder for all 

people of the United States of the continued sacrifice of these 

citizens.

or to be recalled to active duty for up to 180 days to complete 

a line of duty determination. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

541) that would authorize retention on active duty, or recall to 

active duty, until completion of the line of duty determination.

harassment. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

542) that would require additional elements to be included in 

the Department of Defense comprehensive sexual assault and 

prevention policy. 

 The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 

542(a)(7) that would provide that the revised comprehensive 

policy for the Department of Defense sexual assault prevention 

and response program include a requirement to assign

violation or failure to provide the rights of a crime victim 

established by section 3771 of title 18, United States Code, as 
78 

applicable to members of the armed forces and civilian personnel

involved in cases tried by courts-martial and a means for 

seeking redress for failure to be afforded such rights. 

Establishment of special victim capabilities within the military 

departments to respond to allegations of certain special victim 

offenses (sec. 573) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 571) that would 

require the secretaries of the military departments to establish 

special victim teams for investigation, prosecution, and victim 

support in connection with child abuse, serious domestic 

violence, or sexual offenses under the Uniform Code of Military 

Justice. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

Justice and judicial proceedings of sexual assault cases (sec. 

576) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 533) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to establish an independent 

panel to conduct a review and assessment of judicial proceedings 

under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) involving 

sexual assault and related offenses in order to develop 

potential improvements in such proceedings. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to establish a Response Systems Panel to 

conduct an independent review and assessment of the systems used 

to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate crimes involving adult 

sexual assault and related offenses under article 120 of the 

UCMJ (10 U.S.C. 920) for the purpose of developing 

recommendations regarding how to improve the effectiveness of 
80 

such systems. The amendment would also require the Secretary to 

establish a Judicial Proceedings Panel to conduct an independent 

review and assessment of judicial proceedings conducted under 

the UCMJ involving adult sexual assault and related offenses for 

the purpose of developing recommendations for improvements to 

such proceedings. 

The conferees acknowledge the progress made by the 

Department of Defense in developing policies, programs, and 

tracking of the crime of sexual assault. The conferees view the 

purpose of the panels established by this section as a means to 

achieve a greater understanding of sexual assault in the 

military and how effectively sexual assault is addressed through 

the UCMJ as well as to identify any needed reforms in systems 

used to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate the crime of 

sexual assault. 

The conferees expect the Response Systems Panel to conduct 

a comprehensive review that will provide the conferees and the 

Department of Defense with a factual basis for making reforms to 

the systems used to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate adult 

sexual assault offenses under Article 120 the UCMJ. This panel, 

among other things, shall address issues such as: (1) how the 

military system for adjudicating sexual assault offenses 

compares to civilian systems in terms of protections for 

defendants and mitigation of potential punishments; (2) the 

impact of the method for selection of court members for trials 

by court-martial when compared to jury selection in civilian 

courts; (3) why victims are reluctant to report that they have 

been sexually assaulted; (4) the adequacy and appropriateness of 

medical care and legal support provided to victims of sexual 

assault; (5) whether medical records and rape kits are properly 

preserved; (6) allegations that commanders are unresponsive or 

indifferent to reports of sexual assault; (7) assertions that 

measures other than courts-martial are used inappropriately to 

address allegations of sexual assault or to shield alleged 

perpetrators who are considered superior performers; (8) the 

allegation that commanders are not held accountable for failure 

to enforce policies and laws related to adult sexual assault 

crimes and for failure to investigate and to hold service 

members who commit sexual assaults accountable for their 

actions; (9) whether victims of sexual assault who receive 

mental health counseling should be required to report such 

counseling when seeking a security clearance; (10) whether the 

military careers of victims who report sexual assaults are 

adversely affected; (11) how Military Rules of Evidence (MRE) 

412 (relevance of alleged victim’s sexual behavior or sexual 

predisposition) and 513 (psychotherapist-patient privilege) 

differ from civilian applications in ways that adversely impact 
81 

on the willingness of victims to report sexual assaults and 

testify in court proceedings; and (12) the unique relationship 

between a trainer and trainee in basic military training. 

The conferees expect the Judicial Proceedings Panel to 

build on the findings of the Response Systems Panel and to 

address, among other things: (1) whether MRE 412 and 513 are 

correctly applied; (2) the application of the “good military 

character” defense under MRE 404 and 405; and (3) whether 

subjecting victims to cross examination at Article 32, UCMJ, 

investigations discourages victims from reporting sexual 

assaults or participating in legal proceedings to hold 

assailants accountable. 

With regard to the support rendered to the panels, the 

conferees expect that the department’s Sexual Assault and 

Prevention Office (SAPRO) will be involved; however, in order to 

ensure that the SAPRO will not be diverted from its other 

missions, the conferees expect that the primary responsibility 

for supporting and resourcing the panels will come from other 

department and military service assets. 

Retention of certain forms in connection with Restricted Reports 

on sexual assault at request of the member of the Armed Forces 

making the report (sec. 577) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 544) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that copies of 

Department of Defense Forms 2910 and 2911 filed in connection 

with a restricted report of sexual assault involving a member of 

the armed forces are retained for the longer of 50 years or the 

time provided for the retention of such forms in connection with 

unrestricted reports of sexual assault. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require 

retention of these reports at the request of a service member 

who files a restricted report of sexual assault.

recommended for involuntary separation from the armed forces 

within 1 year after making the unrestricted report of a sexual

Subtitle J—Other Matters

Issuance of prisoner-of-war medal (sec. 584) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 551) that would 

amend section 1128 of title 10, United States Code, to eliminate 

the requirement that foreign armed forces be “hostile to the 

United States” as a prerequisite for requiring the Secretary 

concerned to award the prisoner-of-war (POW) medal to any person 

taken prisoner or held captive while serving with the armed 

forces. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 

the Secretary concerned, pursuant to uniform regulations 

prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, to issue a POW medal to 

any person serving with the armed forces under circumstances 

which the Secretary concerned finds to have been comparable to 

those under which persons have generally been held captive by 

enemy armed forces during periods of armed conflict. 

 The conferees note that the current POW medal statute 

contemplates the award only in the context of armed conflict or 

other action against an enemy of the United States and requires 

issuance of the award in these situations. The conferees 

believe this should continue to be the norm. However, the 

conferees also recognize that there may be circumstances when an 

individual serving with the armed forces is held captive by 

other than an enemy armed force, by other than a hostile nation, 

or during times other than periods of armed conflict in 

conditions comparable to those in which the POW medal is now 

required. For this reason, the conferees recommend amendment of 
85 

current law to give the service secretaries the authority to 

issue an award in appropriate cases where the conditions of 

captivity are comparable to those in which a POW is held by 

enemy armed forces. 

 The conferees are aware of the inconsistent application of 

the statute by the Department of Defense and the Department of 

the Air Force to the U.S. airmen interned at Wauwilermoos, 

Switzerland, during World War II. Some internees have been 

awarded the medal, while the vast majority have not. In the 

conferees’ view, this is the result of inconsistent 

interpretations of provisions of the current law that would be 

removed by this provision. Furthermore, from the information 

provided to the conferees, it appears these individuals were 

held in conditions comparable to those in which POWs are held by 

enemy armed forces. The conferees direct the Secretary of the 

Air Force to review the cases of the Wauwilermoos internees to 

determine if such an award is merited under the regulations 

prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, and to award the medal 

in appropriate cases. 

Technical amendments relating to the termination of the Armed 

Forces Institute of Pathology under defense base closure and 

realignment (sec. 585) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1099) that

was disestablished under past defense base closure and 

realignment actions. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Modification of requirement for reports in Federal Register on 

institutions of higher education ineligible for contracts and 

grants for denial of ROTC or military recruiter access to campus 

(sec. 586) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 559) that 

would amend section 983 of title 10, United States Code, to 

delete the requirement for the Secretary of Defense to publish 

in the Federal Register once every 6 months a list of each 

institution of higher education that is ineligible for contracts 

and grants because the Secretary has determined that the 

institution has a policy or practice that prohibits or prevents 

the establishment of a Senior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps 

(SROTC) unit or a student at that institution from enrolling in 
86 

a SROTC unit at another institution of higher education. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Acceptance of gifts and services related to educational 

activities and voluntary services to account for missing persons 

(sec. 587) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 523) that would 

amend section 1501 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize 

the Secretary of Defense to accept gratuitous or voluntary 

services to assist in accounting for missing personnel. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

582) that would amend sections 2601(i)(2), 1588(a), and chapter 

155 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize the acceptance 

of voluntary services to facilitate accounting for missing 

persons and to authorize military museums and military education 

programs to enter into cooperative agreements with certain 

nonprofit entities. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 

sections 2601 and 1588 of title 10, United States Code, to 

authorize the acceptance of services that benefit the education 

of service members and their family members, and voluntary 

services to facilitate accounting for missing persons. 

Display of State, District of Columbia, commonwealth, and 

territorial flags by the Armed Forces (sec. 588) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1096) that would 

amend section 2249b of title 10, United States Code, to require 

the Secretary of Defense to ensure that whenever the official 

flags of all 50 States are displayed by the armed forces, such 

display shall include the flags of the District of Columbia, 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, United States Virgin Islands, Guam, 

American Samoa, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would repeal the 

provision in section 2249b of title 10, United States Code, that 

prohibits the use of funds to prescribe or enforce any rule that 

arbitrarily excludes the official flag of any State, territory, 

or possession of the United States from any display of the flags 

of the States, territories, and possessions of the United States 

at an official ceremony of the Department of Defense. 

Enhancement of authorities on admission of defense industry 

civilians to certain Department of Defense educational 
87 

institutions and programs (sec. 589)

would amend section 7049(a) and 9314a(a) of title 10, United 

States Code, to authorize enrollment of eligible defense 

industry employees in educational programs leading to a 

professional continuing education certificate in the Naval 

Defense Development Program and the Air Force Institute of 

Technology and increase the maximum number of such employees who 

may enroll at each educational institution to 250 employees at 

any one time. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would retain the 

current limit of 125 defense industry employees authorized to be 

enrolled in the Naval Defense Development Program and the Air 

Force Institute of Technology at any one time and would require 

the Secretary of Defense to request an increase in this limit if 

the Secretary determines that it is in the best interest of the 

Department of Defense. 

Extension of authorities to carry out a program of referral and 

counseling services to veterans at risk of homelessness who are 

transitioning from certain institutions (sec. 590) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1087) that 

would amend section 2023(d) of title 38, United States Code, to 

extend for 1 year the authority of the Secretary of Veterans 

Affairs and the Secretary of Labor to carry out a program of 

referral and counseling services to veterans at risk of

compliance with Army Directive 2010–04 on Enhancing the 

Operations and Oversight of the Army National Cemeteries 

Program, dated June 10, 2010, in fiscal year 2013. The 

provision would also amend section 592(d)(2) of Public Law 112-

81 (124 Stat. 3592) to provide the Inspector General of the 

Department of Defense and the Secretaries of the military 
88 

departments an additional 6 months to meet the inspection and 

reporting requirements required by that section. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Report on results of investigations and reviews conducted with 

respect to Port Mortuary Division of the Air Force Mortuary 

Affairs Operations Center at Dover Air Force Base (sec. 592)

enactment of this Act, to submit to the Committees on Armed 

Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a report 

on the investigations and reviews that were conducted with 

respect to the improper handling and preparation of the remains 

of deceased members of the armed forces and civilians at the 

Port Mortuary Division of the Air Force Mortuary Affairs 

Operations Center at Dover Air Force Base, including a summary

Preservation of editorial independence of Stars and Stripes 

(sec. 593) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 591) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to extend the lease for the 

commercial office space in the District of Columbia currently 

occupied by the editorial staff and management operations of

90 

presenting academic courses on the faculty of the United States 

Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, or the United 

States Air Force Academy as joint duty assignments. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to designate 

assignments of military officers as instructors on the faculty 

of the United States Military Academy, the United States Naval

and potential situations that could be harmful to the service 

member or detrimental to the mission. Medical officials have 
92 

the responsibility for documenting medical determinations and 

recommendations to commanders in the form of a profile.

offenses under the UCMJ. Elsewhere in this act, an independent 

panel is required to monitor the implementation of the 

Secretary’s policy withholding initial disposition authority. 

Use of military installations as sites for marriage ceremonies

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes.

members of the armed forces who were killed or wounded in the 

attacks that occurred at the recruiting station in Little Rock, 

Arkansas, on June 1, 2009, and at Fort Hood, Texas, on November 

5, 2009. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 525) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 

service secretaries, to submit to the Committees on Armed 

Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not

education to participate in associate degree programs of the 

Community College of the Air Force (CCAF).

 The Senate recedes. 

 The House report (H. Rept. 112-78) accompanying the

the Senate and the House of Representatives on the results of a 

review of the feasibility and cost of allowing enlisted members 

from the other services, including the U.S. Coast Guard, to

briefing, which has not yet been provided, was required within 

180 days after enactment of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). The conferees 

await this briefing before making changes to the eligibility 

requirements for the CCAF’s associate degree program. 

Advancement of Brigadier General Charles E. Yeager, United 

States Air Force (retired) on the retired list 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 553) that would 

entitle Brigadier General Charles E. Yeager, United States Air 

Force (retired), to hold the rank of major general while on the 

retired list of the Air Force. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 In section 563 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-375), 

Congress authorized the President to appoint, by and with the 

consent of the Senate, Brigadier General Charles E. Yeager, 

United States Air Force (retired), to the grade of major general 

on the retired list of the Air Force. This authorization is 

still in effect.

a good-faith review of Brigadier General Yeager’s outstanding 

military record to ascertain whether the President should 

nominate him for appointment to the grade of major general on 

the retired list of the Air Force.

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

The conferees note that this decision does not prejudice 

the final outcome with regard to the award of the Medal of Honor 

to First Lieutenant Alonzo Cushing, nor does it preclude further 

action by Congress. 

Rather, the conferees require a better understanding of the 

process used and materials available to the Department of 

Defense and the military services for considering Medal of Honor 

recommendations for acts of heroism during the Civil War. The 

conferees are concerned about the ability to examine events that 

occurred nearly 150 years ago and to make individual 

determinations in a consistent, equitable, and well-informed 

manner. 

Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, 

in consultation with the service secretaries, to report to the 

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives, not later than 90 days after enactment of this 

Act, on the process and materials used by review boards for 

consideration of Medal of Honor recommendations for acts of 

heroism that occurred during the Civil War.

 The House recedes. 

Protection of child custody arrangements for parents who are 

members of the armed forces 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 564) that would 

amend title II of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C. 

App. 521 et seq) to provide that if a court renders a temporary 

custody order based solely on the deployment or anticipated 

deployment of a service member, the court shall require the 

reinstatement of the prior custody order upon the return of the 

servicemember from deployment, unless the court finds that 

reinstatement is not in the best interest of the child. The 

provision would also prohibit a court from considering the 

absence of a servicemember by reason of deployment, or the 

possibility of deployment, in determining the best interest of a 
97 

child. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Treatment of relocation of members of the armed forces for 

active duty for purposes of mortgage refinancing 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 565) that would 

amend section 303 of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 

U.S.C. App. 533) to authorize a service member to refinance a 

principal residence in circumstances where the service member 

was unable to continue residing in the residence by virtue of

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives a report on the establishment of the Defense 

Incident-Based Reporting System and the Defense Sexual Assault 

Incident Database until the Secretary certifies that both 

systems are fully functional and operational. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Secretary of Defense has 

reported that the Defense Incident-Based Reporting System and 

the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database are fully 

functional and operational and that the Services are 

contributing the necessary information to each system. The 

conferees want to ensure that all sexual assault incidents are 

accurately documented to facilitate appropriate oversight. 

Briefings on Department of Defense actions regarding sexual 

assault prevention and response in the armed forces 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 577) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense, or the designee of the 

Secretary, to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the 

Senate and the House of Representatives on the status of 

implementation of the sexual assault provisions in the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 112-
98

Sense of Congress on military sexual trauma 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 584) that would 

express the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Veterans 

Affairs should expand efforts to raise awareness about military 

sexual trauma and the treatment and services that the Department 

provides to victims. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes. 

In light of the fact that the available data shows an 

overwhelming number of military sexual trauma claims go 

unreported within the Department of Defense, making it very 

difficult for veterans to show proof of the assault when filing 

claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs for posttraumatic stress disorder and other mental health conditions 

caused by military sexual trauma, the conferees believe the 

Secretary of Veterans Affairs should review the disability 

process to ensure that victims of military sexual trauma who 
99 

file claims for service connection do not face unnecessary or 

overly burdensome requirements in order to claim disability 

benefits with the Department. The conferees also encourage the 

Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to 

expand efforts to raise awareness about treatment and services 

provided to victims of sexual assault.

issue this posthumous commission pursuant to Article II, Section 

2 of the Constitution of the United States.

Sexual Assault and Harassment Oversight and Advisory Council. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Inclusion of freely associated states within scope of Junior 

Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Program 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 590) that would 

amend section 2031(a) of title 10, United States Code, to 

authorize service secretaries to establish and maintain Junior 

Reserve Officers' Training Corps units at qualifying secondary 

educational institutions in the Federated States of Micronesia, 

the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the Republic of Palau. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes.

as “Taps”

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes.

the armed forces with a focus on science, technology, 

engineering, and mathematics 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 595) that would 

authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct pilot programs to 

provide transitional assistance to members of the armed forces 

with a focus on science, technology, engineering and 

mathematics.

 The House recedes. 

The conferees are encouraged by the Department of Defense, 

Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Labor revised

integrated transition model with a goal of career readiness for 

military personnel as they transition out of military service. 

The conferees recognize that the fields of science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics offer critically needed 

opportunities for job growth and American competitiveness, and 

urge that the revised plan include elements to encourage 

transitioning service members to acquire and develop these 

skills. 

Sense of Congress regarding the recovery of the remains of 

certain members of the armed forces killed in Thurston Island, 

Antarctica 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 596) that would 

express the sense of the Congress reaffirming its support for 

the recovery and return to the United States of the remains of 

crewmembers who died as a result of the crash of a Navy aircraft 

known as George One over Thurston Island, Antarctica. The 

provision would also encourage the Department of Defense to 

review the facts and research pertaining to the crash and to 

pursue new efforts to achieve this goal. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Navy previously assessed the 

feasibility of recovering the George One crew and, owing to the 

location of the crash, logistics support, climate in the region, 

potential hazard to the recovery team, and cost, determined that 

the difficulty and risk involved with a recovery is too great, 

and therefore designated the George One to be the final resting 
101 

place of those who lost their lives in the crash. 

 

Report on effects of multiple deployments 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 597) that would

amend section 4 of title 4, United States Code, to authorize 

members of the armed forces not in uniform and veterans to 

render the military salute during the recitation of the pledge 

of allegiance. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

TITLE VI–COMPENSATION AND OTHER PERSONNEL 

BENEFITS 

Subtitle A–Pay and Allowances 

Fiscal year 2013 increase in military basic pay (sec. 601) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that would 

authorize a pay raise for members of the uniformed services of 

1.7 percent effective January 1, 2013. This across-the-board 

pay raise is equal to the Administration request. 
102 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Extension of authority to provide temporary increase in rates of 

basic allowance for housing under certain circumstances (sec. 

602) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 603) that 

would extend for 1 year the authority of the Secretary of 

Defense to temporarily increase the rate of basic allowance for 

housing in areas impacted by natural disasters or experiencing a 

sudden influx of personnel. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Basic allowance for housing for two-member couples when one 

member is on sea duty (sec. 603) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 602) that would 

authorize certain uniformed service members in a pay grade below 

E-6, who are assigned to sea duty, and who are married to 

another uniformed service member to receive a basic allowance 

for housing (BAH) in circumstances where they currently do not 

qualify. Current law requires that both married members be in a 

pay grade below E-6, have no dependents, and be simultaneously 

assigned to sea duty. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Rates of basic allowance for housing for members performing 

active Guard and Reserve duty (sec. 604) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 603) that would 

amend section 403(g) of title 37, United States Code, to 

prohibit the rate of basic allowance for housing (BAH) paid to a 

member of the Army National Guard or Air National Guard to be 

reduced upon the transition of the member between active duty 

and full-time National Guard duty when the transition occurs 

without a break in active service. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

601) that would require that BAH for Army and Air National Guard 

members on full-time duty be based on their permanent duty 

station and not modified upon the transition of the member 

between active duty and full-time National Guard duty so long as 

the transition occurs without a break in active service. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would add a new 

subsection to section 403(g) of title 37, United States Code, to 
103 

require that the BAH paid to a member of a reserve component 

performing active guard and reserve duty as defined in section 

101(d)(6) of title 10, United States Code, be based on their 

permanent duty station in most cases, even when the member is 

mobilized for service on active duty. The amendment would 

further require that during such transitions between active duty 

and active guard and reserve duty, affected members continue to 

retain uninterrupted eligibility for BAH rate protection as 

provided for under sections (b)(6) and (c)(2) of the section, so 

long as the member remains on active duty without a break in 

service. Finally, the amendment would require that members 

receiving BAH at a rate higher than provided for under this 

provision, as of the date of enactment of this Act, continue to 

receive the higher rate until such time as they are reassigned 

for duty at their permanent duty station, when they shall begin 

to receive BAH at the prevailing rate in effect at that duty 

station. The Secretary concerned, with approval of the 

Secretary of Defense, may continue to pay the higher rate in 

certain cases to ensure fairness and equity or to serve the best 

interests of the United States. 

Payment of benefit for nonparticipation of eligible members in 

Post-Deployment/Mobilization Respite Absence program due to 

Government error (sec. 605) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 605) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to pay eligible individuals 

$200 per day for days earned under the PostDeployment/Mobilization Respite Absence (PDMRA) program, when 

the individuals were unable to use those days due to government 

error, as determined by a board for the correction of military 

records. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

602). 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment to allow the 

Secretary concerned to determine the required government error 

by processes other than through a board for the correction of 

military records. 

Subtitle B–Bonuses and Special and 

Incentive Pays 

One-year extension of certain bonus and special pay authorities 

for reserve forces (sec. 611) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 611) that would 
104 

extend for 1 year the authority to pay the Selected Reserve 

reenlistment bonus, the Selected Reserve affiliation or

certain high-priority units, the Ready Reserve enlistment bonus 

for persons without prior service, the Ready Reserve enlistment

occupational specialty to ease personnel shortages from $2,000 

to $4,000 in the case of a member of a reserve component. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

617). 

 The Senate recedes. 

Subtitle C–Travel and Transportation 

Allowances 

Permanent change of station allowances for members of Selected 

Reserve units filling a vacancy in another unit after being 

involuntarily separated (sec. 621)

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 631) that 

would amend sections 474 and 476 of title 37, United States 

Code, to authorize the payment of travel and transportation 

allowances for certain members of the Selected Reserve, their 

dependents, and household effects when the member is 

involuntarily separated due to force structure reductions 

between October 1, 2012, and December 31, 2018, and fills a 

critical vacancy in another unit of the Selected Reserve that is 

at least 150 miles from the member’s residence. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Authority for comprehensive program for space-available travel 

on Department of Defense aircraft (sec. 622) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 632) that 

would add a new section 2641c to title 10, United States Code, 

that would codify the authority of the Secretary of Defense to 

establish a program to provide transportation to active and 

reserve component members, retirees, certain widows, and 

dependents on Department of Defense (DOD) aircraft on a spaceavailable basis beginning January 1, 2014, or such earlier date 

as determined by the Secretary pursuant to regulation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would incorporate 

the authority in section 2641b of title 10, United States Code, 

relating to space-available travel for retired members residing 

in Commonwealths or possessions of the United States for certain 

health care services, within the program authority provided by 
107 

this provision. The amendment would also require the Secretary 

to submit to the congressional defense committees an initial 

implementation report describing the basis for the establishment 

of a travel program under this provision, categories of 

individuals who would be provided travel under the program, how 

the Secretary would ensure that the program was conducted in a 

budget-neutral manner, and the metrics by which the Secretary 

would monitor the efficiency and effective execution of the 

program. 

 The conferees emphasize that the purpose of no-cost, spaceavailable travel on military aircraft is to assist military 

members and their families in responding to emergent personal 

circumstances and arduous duty conditions and to provide a means 

of respite from the rigors of active duty, for members of the 

active and reserve components. The option to seek spaceavailable travel has also been offered, at a lower priority, to 

military retirees in recognition of their careers of service and 

to authorized members of the Selected Reserve. The conferees 

note that the authority given to the Secretary in this provision 

includes the discretion to limit travel under the program to one 

or more categories of traveler in order to control costs and 

ensure the safety, security, and efficient processing of 

travelers. The conferees expect the Secretary to exercise this 

discretion, when necessary, to ensure the program’s efficiency 

and budget neutrality, and to maintain priority of travel for 

active duty members and their families, especially during peak 

travel times and at the busiest travel locations. 

 In executing a space-available travel program, DOD must 

provide accurate information about the hardships aspiring spaceavailable travelers are likely to experience. As DOD noted in 

its December 2007 report to Congress on space-available travel, 

“current eligible Space-A travelers often experience 

disillusionment because of the contrast between the perceived 

promises of Space-A travel . . . and the reality of arduous 

conditions often encountered when using the system.” The 

conferees believe that DOD should do more to educate potential 

travelers on these realities. 

Subtitle D–Benefits and Services for 

Members Being Separated or Recently 

Separated 

Extension of authority to provide two years of commissary and 

exchange benefits after separation (sec. 631)

period following separation. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes.

days following the date of such separation. The provision would 

also clarify that such members would not be authorized to draw 

the basic allowance for housing during this period. The 

authority provided under this provision would expire December 

31, 2018. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes.

premiums when participant waives retired pay to provide a 

survivor annuity under Federal Employees Retirement System and 

terminating payment of the Survivor Benefit Plan annuity (sec. 

641)

amend sections 1450 and 1452 of title 10, United States Code, to

waive their military retired pay in favor of a survivor annuity 

under the Federal Employees Retirement System, do not have to 

continue paying premiums under SBP. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

641). 

 The Senate recedes. 

Repeal of automatic enrollment in Family Servicemembers’ Group 

Life Insurance for members of the Armed Forces married to other 

members (sec. 642) 
109 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 642) that 

would amend section 1967 of title 38, United States Code, to 

remove service members from automatic enrollment as a dependent 

under the Family Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance program 

when they are insured on their own behalf under the

compensation for chapter 61 disability retirees (sec. 643)

would amend section 1413a of title 10, United States Code, to 

clarify that the maximum award under the combat-related special 

compensation (CRSC) statute may not, when combined with the 

amount of retired pay payable to the retiree after mandatory 

reductions are taken pursuant to sections 5304 and 5305 of title 

38, United States Code, cause the total of such combined 

payments to exceed the amount of retired pay the member would 

have been entitled to based solely on years of service. The 

provision would be effective on October 1, 2013.

provision effective on January 1, 2013.

Fund Instrumentality Benefits and 

Operations

applicable to commissary and exchange stores overseas (sec. 651) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 642) that would 

eliminate the requirement that the Secretary of Defense report 

to Congress the changes in restrictions on the sale of 

merchandise by commissary and exchange stores overseas that are 

required to prevent the resale of such merchandise in violation 

of treaty obligations of the United States or host nation laws. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes.

Meditation Pavilion at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, as a 

Fisher House (sec. 652) 
110 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 643) that would 

amend section 2493(a) of title 10, United States Code, to 

clarify that primary next of kin, other family members, and 

escorts of family members of service members who die while 

located or serving overseas are authorized users of the Fisher 

House for the Families of the Fallen and Meditation Pavilion at 

Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

583). 

 The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. 

Subtitle G–Military Lending 

Additional enhancements of protections on consumer credit for 

members of the Armed Forces and their dependents (sec. 661) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 652) that 

would amend section 987 of title 10, United States Code, to 

clarify that States may not waive the application of consumer 

protections enacted for the benefit of state residents on the 

basis of nonresident or military status of an individual covered 

under that section. The provision would also require the 

Secretary of Defense to consult with federal regulators at least 

once every 2 years in carrying out the duties required under 

section 987, and would remove the Office of Thrift Supervision 

from the list of federal regulators with whom the Secretary is 

required to consult. Finally, the provision would be effective 

no later than 1 year from the date of enactment of this Act, or 

such earlier date as determined by the Secretary of Defense in 

regulation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment that would 

include the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection on the list 

of federal regulators with whom the Secretary is required to 

consult. 

Effect of violations of protections on consumer credit extended 

to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents (sec. 662)

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 653) that 

would amend section 987 of title 10, United States Code, to 

provide for civil liability in United States district court for 

violations of consumer protections for service members and 

dependents under that section. 

 The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 655) 

that would further amend section 987 of title 10, United States 

Code, to require that the protections afforded by that section 
111 

be enforced by the agencies specified in section 108 of the 

Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1607) in the manner set forth in 

that section or as set forth under any other applicable 

authorities available to such agencies by law. 

 The House bill contained no similar provisions. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

The conferees expect that, for the purposes of the 

enforcement authority under this section, a violation of the 

Military Lending Act would be treated as though it were a 

violation of the Truth in Lending Act. 

Consistent definition of dependent for purposes of applying 

limitations on terms of consumer credit extended to certain 

members of the Armed Forces and their dependents (sec. 663) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 661) that would 

amend section 987(i) of title 10, United States Code, to conform

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605) that 

would require the Military Compensation and Retirement 

Modernization Commission to conduct hearings on recommendations 

for legislative changes under consideration, and that all 

hearings be open to the public, except those in which classified 

information might be considered. The provision would require 

that any hearing open to the public be advertised on a federal 

website no less than 14 days prior to the hearing. The 

provision would require the Commission to hold its initial 

meeting within 30 days of all members being appointed. The

personnel, modernizing the active and reserve military 

compensation and retirement systems, differentiating between 

active and reserve military service, differentiating between 

service in the armed forces and service in the other uniformed 

services, and ensuring the fiscal sustainability of the military 

compensation and retirement systems. The provision would 

require that recommendations of the Commission grandfather the 

benefits of service members who first became a member of a 

uniformed service before the date of enactment of a military 

compensation and retirement modernization act, except that such 

recommendations may include an opt-in mechanism for members who 

would choose to be covered by some or all of the provisions of a

conclusions, and recommendations for modernizing the military 
115

modernize the military compensation and retirement systems could 

not be less than they would be eligible to receive under the 

current military compensation and retirement system, nor may the 

date at which they are eligible to receive such retired pay be 

adjusted to the financial detriment of the member. Further, the 

House amendment would prohibit the adjustment of retired pay of

(sec. 675)

Commission, to transmit to Congress and the Commission a report 

approving or disapproving the Commission’s recommendations. The 

provision would also provide for a procedure for the Commission

days to members of the reserve components under DOD Instruction 

1327.06 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 604) that would

program. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the issue was addressed by Public 

Law 112-120, enacted into law on May 25, 2012. 

Travel and transportation allowances for non-medical attendants 

for members receiving care in a residential treatment program 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 621) that would 

authorize travel and transportation allowances for qualified 

non-medical attendants for members receiving care in a 

residential treatment program if the attending health care 

professional or hospital commander deems that participation in 

treatment by the non-medical attendant is essential to the 

treatment of the member. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees have been informed that the Department of 

Defense is revising its Military Health System policies and the 

TRICARE benefit for substance use disorder treatment in response 

to the findings of an internal review conducted last year and 

the recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) Study on “Substance Use 

Disorders in the U.S. Armed Forces” made publicly available on 

September 17, 2012. Changes to the TRICARE benefit with respect 

to intensive outpatient and office-based services are currently 

under internal review and coordination. 

Regarding intensive outpatient services, the conferees have 

been informed that the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) has 

issued a regulatory clarification to managed care support 

contractors on the scope of the partial hospitalization program 

(PHP) benefit, allowing for the reimbursement of PHP services, 

defined as a time-limited, ambulatory, active-treatment program 
119 

that offers therapeutically intensive, coordinated, and 

structured clinical services within a stable therapeutic 

environment. Full-day, half-day, evening, and weekend programs 

may be included. The conferees have also been informed that 

TRICARE now allows for the reimbursement of half-day partial 

hospitalization, defined as treatment of a minimum of 3 hours 

per day but less than 6 hours per day. These two regulatory 

clarifications allow for PHP services to be provided less than 5 

days per week or for 3 hours per day, which TRICARE refers to as 

half-day partial hospitalization, but may also be called 

“intensive outpatient” care at facilities providing such 

outpatient services. 

Charitable organizations eligible for donations of unusable 

commissary store food and other food prepared for the armed 

forces 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 641) that would 

clarify that the Secretary of Defense may make donations of 

unusable food to charitable food banks, food pantries, and soup 

kitchens. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Secretary of Defense is 

currently authorized to donate unusable, unmarketable, and 

unsaleable food to certain entities and encourage the Secretary 

to utilize this authority to the maximum extent practicable. 

Purchase of sustainable products, local food products, and 

recyclable materials for resale in commissary and exchange store 

systems 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 644) that would 

require the governing body providing oversight and management 

direction to the military exchange and commissary systems to 

establish guidelines for the identification of fresh meat, 

poultry, seafood, produce, and other products raised or produced 

through sustainable methods that are not harmful to the 

environment. The provision would also require the governing 

body to establish, not later than September 30, 2017, goals for 

all exchange and commissary stores to purchase sustainable 

products, local food products, and recyclable materials. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees understand that the Department of Defense is 

currently working to develop and implement policies to increase 

the availability of sustainable products and local food products 
120 

in the commissary and exchange store systems, and encourage the 

Department to make every effort to provide consumers with 

sustainable and local product choices wherever feasible. 

Enhancement of protections on consumer credit for members of the 

armed forces and their dependents 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 651) that 

would amend section 987 of title 10, United States Code, to 

require that vehicle title loans and payday loans, regardless of 

duration or whether they are open- or closed-end, are included 

within the definition of “consumer credit” contained in 

regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Defense pursuant to 

that section. The provision would also require the Secretary to 

develop a policy on the predatory extension of credit through 

installment loans that target members of the armed forces and 

their dependents. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees recognize the progress the Department of 

Defense has made since consumer protections for military members 

and their dependents against predatory lending were enacted in 

the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364), codified in section 987 of title 

10, United States Code. A recent report by the Consumer 

Federation of America, The Military Lending Act Five Years 

Later, found that “the law has been largely effective in curbing 

predatory . . . lending to covered borrowers.” Nevertheless, 

the report found that many predatory lenders have modified their 

products to avoid coverage by the Department’s rules 

implementing section 987, and recommended that “the Department 

of Defense . . . conduct an internal study of service members, 

financial counselors, and legal assistance/JAG officers to 

ascertain the impact of the current set of . . . rules on the 

use of defined products, problems caused by similar and emerging 

products, and the use of allotments to pay for commercial 

credit.” 

The conferees are concerned that the Department must remain 

vigilant to eliminate continuing, evolving predatory lending 

practices targeting service members and their families, and 

believe the Department should review its regulations 

implementing section 987, to address changes in the industry and 

the evolution of lending products offered since 2007, continuing 

use of predatory marketing practices, and other abuses 

identified by consumer protection advocates, including the 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Office of Servicemember 

Affairs. 
121 

 The conferees direct the Secretary to conduct surveys of 

counselors, legal assistance attorneys, service members, and 

other appropriate personnel, and to consult with both consumer 

protection advocacy groups and representatives of the financial 

services industry to determine if changes to rules implementing 

section 987 are necessary to protect covered borrowers from 

continuing and evolving predatory lending practices, and to 

report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 

House of Representatives no later than 1 year after the date of 

enactment of this Act on the results of such review. 

Mortgage protection for members of the armed forces, surviving 

spouses, and certain veterans 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 664) that would 

amend section 303 of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 

U.S.C. App 533) to expand certain mortgage protections for 

service members, surviving spouses, and veterans; to make 

knowing violations of these protections a criminal offense; and 

to increase civil penalties for violations of these protections. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Study on issuing identification cards to certain members upon 

discharge 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 665) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study to assess 

the feasibility of issuing identification cards to certain 

service members upon discharge from the service.

 The House recedes. 

Report on issuance by Armed Forces Medical Examiner of death 

certificates for members of the armed forces who die on active 

duty abroad

would amend section 1074g of title 10, United States Code, to 

authorize the Department of Defense to place selected over-thecounter drugs on the uniform formulary and make such drugs 

available to eligible beneficiaries. An over-the-counter drug 

would only be included on the uniform formulary if the Pharmacy 

and Therapeutics Committee finds that the drug is cost-effective 

and clinically effective. The provision would also authorize 

the Secretary of Defense to establish a copayment amount for 

these drugs, if appropriate. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment clarifying that the 

Secretary is authorized to not charge any copayment for overthe-counter drugs under this provision. 

 The conferees note that the Department of Defense has been 

providing selected over-the-counter drugs with no beneficiary 

copayment under demonstration authority for several years, and 

that the pilot program has resulted in significant savings to 

the Department. The conferees encourage the Department to 

continue to implement the authority provided by this section in 

a similar manner.

to those service members who will be subjected or exposed to 

operational risk factors during deployment in a contingency 

operation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 

section 1074m(a) of title 10, United States Code, to align 

mandatory post-deployment person-to-person mental health 

assessments for certain service members with other existing 

health assessments by changing the required assessment period

would authorize behavioral health treatment, including applied 

behavior analysis therapy, for all developmental disabilities as 

defined by section 15002(8) of title 42, United States Code, 

including autism spectrum disorders, when prescribed by a 

physician to be covered under the basic TRICARE program for 
124 

certain beneficiaries. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to conduct a 1-year pilot program to 

provide for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders, 

including applied behavior analysis, for all TRICARE 

beneficiaries covered under the basic program. 

 The conferees are aware that the Department of Defense 

(DOD) has been ordered by the District Court for the District of 

Columbia to provide coverage under the basic TRICARE benefit for 

applied behavior analysis. The conferees understand that the 

plaintiffs and DOD have each submitted motions to reconsider the 

court order. The conferees have provided DOD this 1-year 

authority in order to allow DOD to assess such coverage 

independent from litigation proceedings.

of sacrifice constitute a pre-paid premium for health care 

during retirement. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 706) that 

would express the sense of Congress that career members of the 

uniformed services and those who are medically retired, and 

their families, endure unique and extraordinary demands and make

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 

procurement requirements applicable to DOD procurements through 

the DOE Work for Others program for the purposes of section 801. 

In general, the conferees understand that DOD officials are 

required to comply with the requirements of the Defense 

Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFARS), but 

that DFARS requirements are not applicable to officials of other 

federal agencies, except to the extent that they implement 

statutory requirements specific to interagency transactions. 

Accordingly, DOD procurements of property and services 

through the DOE Work for Others program comply with the 

requirements of section 801 if they are consistent with the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation and other laws and regulations 

that apply to procurements of property and services by Federal 
141 

agencies generally, and with the following laws and regulations 

specific to DOD transactions through the DOE Work for Others 

program: 

 (A) the Memorandum of Agreement Between the Department 

of Defense and the Department of Energy Governing 

Department of Defense Funded Work Performed at the 

Department of Energy Laboratories and Facilities (dated 

September 16, 2010), or a successor agreement; 

(B) the Memorandum of the Director of Defense 

Procurement and Acquisition Policy on Department of 

Defense-Wide Policy for Using the Department of Energy’s 

Work for Others Program to Access DOE-Owned Research, 

Development and Production Facilities through Interagency 

Agreements (dated September 30, 2011), or a successor 

policy; 

(C) the Standard Interagency Agreement Part A for DOD 

Components and all DOE activities (dated December 16, 

2010), or a successor agreement; 

(D) the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulations; 

and 

(E) Department of Energy Order 481.1C, Work for Others 

(Non-Department of Energy Funded Work (dated January 24, 

2005) as amended, or a successor order. 

Review and justification of pass-through contracts (sec. 802) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that 

would prohibit the Department of Defense and other federal 

agencies from awarding a contract for the performance of 

services unless the contractor agrees that at least 50 percent 

of the direct labor on the contract will be performed by the 

contractor or by a subcontractor that is specifically identified 

in the contract. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the 

Administrator of the United States Agency for International 

Development (USAID) to revise guidance applicable to contracts, 

task orders, and delivery orders awarded by such agencies for 

which the prime contractor is expected to subcontract more than 

70 percent of the total cost of work to be performed and ensure 

that contracting officers consider alternative contracting 

structures and approaches and justify their decisions in 

writing. 

 The conferees note that Section 52.215-22 of the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation, which implements the requirements of 

section 866 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization 
142 

Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), requires offerors 

for certain contracts, task orders, and delivery orders, to 

notify the government in their proposals if they intend to 

subcontract more than 70 percent of the total cost of the work 

to be performed. In accordance with Defense Contract Audit 

Agency (DCAA) memorandum 11-PSP-003(R), DCAA is responsible for 

reviewing pass-through charges in connection with any such 

contract, task order, or delivery order to ensure that such 

charges are reasonable. In accordance with applicable DCAA 

standards, pass-through charges may be determined to be 

reasonable because they are in accordance with a prime 

contractor’s established rates, even in a case where the prime 

contractor does little more than monitor the performance of a 

subcontractor. In such cases, the issue that should be 

addressed by contracting officials is not whether the charges 

are reasonable, but whether the contract structure and approach 

is in the best interest of the Department of Defense, the 

Department of State, or USAID. 

 The conferees direct the Comptroller General to report to 

the congressional defense committees not later than 2 years 

after the date of the enactment of this Act on the 

implementation of this provision by the Department of Defense, 

the Department of State, and USAID. The Comptroller General’s 

review should assess existing statutes and regulations relating 

to pass-through contracts and pass-through charges and make any 

recommendations that the Comptroller General determines to be 

appropriate. 

Availability of amounts in Defense Acquisition Workforce 

Development Fund (sec. 803) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) that 

would clarify the extent to which amounts in the Defense 

Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF) may be used for 

training of temporary members of the acquisition workforce. The 

provision would also extend direct hiring authority for the 

Department of Defense acquisition workforce for an additional 2 

years. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would update the 

amounts available in the DAWDF to reflect the Department’s 

current plans for the acquisition workforce. 

Department of Defense policy on contractor profits (sec. 804) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 824) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to review the profit 
143 

guidelines in the Department of Defense Supplement to the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment requiring the Secretary 

to obtain the views of experts and interested parties before 

completing the review and clarifying that Congress does not 

intend the review to reach any pre-ordained conclusion. 

 The conferees direct the Secretary to provide periodic 

updates to the congressional defense committees on the conduct, 

progress, and results of the required review. 

Modification of authorities on internal controls for 

procurements on behalf of the Department of Defense by certain 

nondefense agencies (sec. 805) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) that 

would repeal the requirement for the Department of Defense 

Inspector General to submit periodic follow-up reports on 

internal controls for procurements made by the Department 

through specified federal agencies. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees expect the Inspector General to determine the 

need for follow-on reports on the basis of a risk assessment 

that weighs the vulnerability of inter-agency contracting 

against other contracting vulnerabilities. 

Extension of authority relating to management of supply-chain 

risk (sec. 806) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 826) that 

would extend to January 1, 2016, the pilot authority under 

section 806 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 

authority to September 30, 2018, and require the Department of 

Defense to develop criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of 

the program, assess the program on the basis of such criteria, 

and report to the congressional defense committees on the 

results. 

Sense of Congress on the continuing progress of the Department 

of Defense in implementing its Item Unique Identification 

Initiative (sec. 807) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 827) that 
144 

would express the sense of the Senate in support of efforts by 

the Department of Defense to implement its item unique 

identification initiative. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment that would 

make the provision a sense of Congress. 

Subtitle B-Provisions Relating to Major 

Defense Acquisition Programs 

Limitation on use of cost-type contracts (sec. 811) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) that 

would prohibit the use of cost-type contracts for the production 

of major defense acquisition programs unless the Under Secretary 

of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics determines 

that a cost-type contract is needed to provide a required 

capability in a timely and cost-effective manner. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 

applicability of the provision. 

The conferees believe that the Department of Defense should 

select the contract type for a production program that is 

consistent with the level of risk for the program. Consistent 

with sound acquisition practice, however, very few major defense 

acquisition programs should be in production unless program risk 

has already been reduced to a manageable level. Therefore, the 

conferees expect the Under Secretary to be judicious in applying 

the authority to grant exceptions under this provision. 

Estimates of potential termination liability of contracts for 

the development or production of major defense acquisition 

programs (sec. 812) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 804) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees on any case in which the 

potential termination liability under a contract for the 

development or production of major defense acquisition programs 

exceeds $100 million. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) direct 

the Government Accountability Office to report to the 

congressional defense committees on the extent to which the 

Department of Defense (DOD) is considering potential termination 

liability as a factor in entering and in terminating contracts 
145 

for major defense acquisition programs; and (2) require the 

Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 

Logistics to review relevant acquisition guidance and take such 

steps as are necessary to ensure that potential termination 

liability is so considered. 

 The conferees expect DOD to ensure that information 

regarding potential termination liability on contracts for the 

development or production of major defense acquisition programs, 

including estimates of potential termination liability and how 

such termination liability is likely to increase or decrease 

over the period of performance, is available to the 

congressional defense committees upon request. 

Technical change regarding programs experiencing critical cost 

growth due to change in quantity purchased (sec. 813) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) that 

would clarify the actions to be taken by the Department of 

Defense in the case of programs that exceed thresholds for 

critical cost growth due only to a change in the quantity of 

items to be purchased. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Repeal of requirement to review ongoing programs initiated 

before enactment of Milestone B certification and approval 

process (sec. 814) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 

would repeal the requirement for the Department of Defense to 

conduct annual reviews of programs initiated before the 

enactment of the certification requirements in section 2366b of 

title 10, United States Code to determine whether or not they 

meet the requirements under that section. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Subtitle C-Amendments to General 

Contracting Authorities, Procedures, and 

Limitations 

Modification of time period for congressional notification of 

the lease of certain vessels by the Department of Defense. (sec. 

821) 
146 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would 

amend section 2401 of title 10, United States Code, by modifying 

the time period for congressional notification of the lease of 

certain vessels from 30 days of continuous session to 60 days. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

886) that would change the notice period from 30 days of 

continuous session to 30 days. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Extension of authority for use of simplified acquisition 

procedures for certain commercial items (sec. 822) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would 

extend the authority for use of simplified acquisition 

procedures for certain commercial items to January 1, 2015. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Comptroller General to report to 

the congressional defense committees, the Senate Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the House 

Committee on Oversight and Government Reform by October 1, 2013, 

on the use of this authority. The Comptroller General’s report 

should address, at a minimum: (1) the extent of use of the 

authority; (2) the cited rationales for use of the authority; 

(3) the acquisition outcomes that have resulted; and (4) any 

waste, fraud, or abuse that have resulted from the use of the 

authority. 

Codification and amendment relating to life-cycle management and 

product support requirements (sec. 823) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would 

codify and amend the life cycle management and product support 

requirements for major weapon systems in section 805 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public 

Law 111-84). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Codification of requirement relating to Government performance 

of critical acquisition functions (sec. 824) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would 

codify section 820 of the John Warner National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364), 

regarding government performance of critical acquisition 

functions. 
147 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment adding certain 

positions to the list of critical acquisition functions, as 

requested by the Department of Defense. 

Competition in acquisition of major subsystems and subassemblies 

on major defense acquisition programs (sec. 825) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that would 

restrict Department of Defense obligations for operations and 

maintenance pending a certification that the Department of 

Defense is implementing the requirement in section 202 of the 

Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-

23) for competition throughout the life cycle of major weapon 

systems. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that 

would strengthen the competition requirements in section 202. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

 The conferees agree that the full implementation of section 

202, including the requirement to ensure competition throughout 

the life cycle of major weapon systems, can help reduce costs, 

improve contractor performance, and result in better products 

for the warfighter. The conferees direct the Secretary of 

Defense to revise the guidance on operation and support costs 

for major weapon systems required by section 832 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 an appropriate 

emphasis on the importance of competition in holding down such 

costs. 

Compliance with Berry Amendment required for uniform components 

supplied to Afghan military or Afghan National Police (sec. 826) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 819) that would 

require the Department of Defense to comply with section 2533a 

of title 10, United States Code, known as the Berry amendment, 

in purchases of textile components for the production and supply 

of uniforms to the Afghan National Army or the Afghan National 

Police. 

 The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 

867). 

 The conference agreement includes this provision. 

Enhancement of whistleblower protections for contractor 

employees (sec. 827) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 844) that 

would strengthen protections for contractor employees who blow 
148 

the whistle on waste, fraud, and abuse on Department of Defense 

(DOD) contracts. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) revise 

the provision to ensure that it fully covers contractors of the 

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as well as DOD; 

(2) clarify that whistleblower remedies may include only 

reasonable attorneys’ fees; (3) modify the provision on 

arbitration agreements; and (4) exclude elements of the 

intelligence community from coverage. 

 The conferees agree that whistleblower complaints related 

to commercial aviation safety issues are uniquely within the 

expertise of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and 

should be investigated through FAA whistleblower procedures set 

forth in section 106(t) of title 49, United States Code (section 

341 of Public Law 112-95), to the maximum extent practicable. 

The conferees direct the DOD Inspector General to work with the 

FAA Office of Audit and Evaluation and the Occupational Safety 

and Health Administration to address commercial aviation safety 

issues. The conferees note that DOD remains responsible for the 

oversight and regulation of public use aircraft, as defined in 

section 40102(a)(41)(E) of title 49, United States Code. 

Pilot program for enhancement of contractor employee 

whistleblower protections (sec. 828) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 844A) that 

would provide enhanced statutory protections for employees of 

civilian agency contractors who blow the whistle on waste, 

fraud, and abuse on federal contracts. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) 

clarify that whistleblower remedies may include only reasonable

attorneys’ fees; (2) modify the provision on arbitration 

agreements; (3) exclude elements of the intelligence community 

from coverage; and (4) sunset the provision after 4 years. 

Extension of contractor conflict of interest limitations (sec. 

829) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 845) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to determine whether 

contractor conflict of interest limitations should be extended 

to additional categories of contractors. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment requiring the Secretary 

of Defense to document in writing the results of the review, 
149 

including the findings and recommendations of the review and the 

basis for those findings and recommendations. The conferees 

direct the Secretary to provide a briefing to the congressional 

defense committees on these matters, upon request. 

Repeal of sunset for certain protests of task and delivery order 

contracts (sec. 830) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 846) that 

would repeal the sunset date in section 2304c(e) of title 10, 

United States Code, regarding the authority to file bid protests 

for certain task and delivery order contracts. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Guidance and training related to evaluating reasonableness of 

price (sec. 831) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 841) that 

would authorize the Department of Defense (DOD) to require 

contractors to provide additional data, including certified cost 

or pricing data, when necessary to evaluate the price 

reasonableness of certain commercial items that are procured for 

the support of a major system. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require DOD 

to issue guidance on the use of the authority provided by 

sections 2379 and 2306a(d) of title 10, United States Code to 

evaluate the reasonableness of contractor prices. 

The conferees have determined that sections 2379 and 

2306a(d) provide the Department with the authority that it needs 

to obtain price information and uncertified cost information, 

when necessary to evaluate the price reasonableness of 

commercial items. The inconsistent use of this authority by the 

Department appears to have created uncertainty in the vendor 

community without assuring reasonable prices. The conferees 

expect the guidance required by this section to address these 

problems. 

Department of Defense access to, use of, and safeguards and 

protections for contractor internal audit reports (sec. 832) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) that 

would clarify the access of the Defense Contract Audit Agency 

(DCAA) to contractor internal audit reports and supporting 

materials. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 
150 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 

limited purposes for which such audit access is provided and 

establish safeguards and protections to ensure that audit 

materials are not used for any other purposes. Subsection (b) of 

the provision would establish documentation requirements for 

DCAA requests of internal audit reports or supporting materials. 

The conferees direct the Director of DCAA to provide the 

required documentation to the congressional defense committees, 

upon request. The conferees understand that the documentation 

provided to the congressional defense committees would not 

include copies of any contractor internal audit reports or 

supporting materials. 

Contractor responsibilities in regulations relating to detection 

and avoidance of counterfeit electronic parts (sec. 833) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that would 

provide that costs associated with the use of counterfeit parts 

are allowable costs on the defense contracts of a contractor 

that has a system to detect and avoid such parts that has been 

reviewed and approved by the Department of Defense and that 

gives timely notice to the Government of any discovery or 

suspicion of such parts in its supply chain if: (1) the parts 

were procured from a trusted supplier; or (2) the parts were 

provided to the contractor as government-furnished property in 

accordance with part 45 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide 

that such costs are allowable costs only if the parts were 

provided to the contractor as government-furnished property. 

Subtitle D-Provisions Relating to Contracts 

in Support of Contingency Operations 

Extension and expansion of authority to acquire products and 

services produced in countries along a major route of supply to 

Afghanistan (sec. 841) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would 

extend and expand authority for the Department of Defense to 

acquire supplies on a non-competitive basis in certain countries 

that are assisting the Department’s efforts in Afghanistan. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 866) that 

would extend the same authority. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delete a 

limitation on the use of funds until the Government of Pakistan 
151 

agrees to take certain steps, which have now taken place. 

Limitation on authority to acquire products and services 

produced in Afghanistan (sec. 842) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that would 

update section 886 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2008 and prohibit the use of the authority provided 

by that section until such a time as the Secretary of Defense 

determines that the Government of Afghanistan is not taxing 

assistance provided by the United States to Afghanistan. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would update 

section 886, but exclude the new prohibition. 

 The conferees agree that actions taken by the Government of 

Afghanistan to tax assistance provided by the United States to 

Afghanistan are in violation of existing agreements between the 

United States and Afghanistan. The conferees direct the 

Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 

State, to report to the congressional defense committees not 

later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act 

on steps that the U.S. government has taken or plans to take to 

address this problem. 

Responsibility within Department of Defense for operational 

contract support (sec. 843) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 861) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe in 

regulations the chain of authority and responsibility within the 

Department of Defense for policy planning and execution of 

contract support for overseas contingency operations. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 

provision to address operational contract support in overseas 

operations of all kinds. 

Data collection on contract support for future overseas 

contingency operations involving combat operations (sec. 844) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 862) that 

would require annual reports on contract support for any future 

overseas contingency operation meeting specified criteria. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) require 

the Secretary of Defense (DOD), the Secretary of State, and the 

Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
152 

Development to ensure that their agencies have the capability in 

place to collect and report relevant data on contract support 

for future overseas contingency operations; and (2) require the 

Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report to the 

appropriate congressional committees on the adequacy of data 

collection systems established for this purpose. 

The ability of the DOD and other federal agencies to 

effectively manage and coordinate contractors depends on the 

timely availability of reliable data upon which to make informed 

decisions. If data is lacking or is unreliable, there may not 

be an appropriate basis for measuring or assessing the 

effectiveness of contracting, making policy decisions, and 

ensuring transparency of government operations. 

In Iraq and Afghanistan, DOD and other federal agencies 

have been unable to accurately track data on contracts and 

contractors. In 2004, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the 

Project and Contracting Office developed the Iraq Reconstruction 

Management System (IRMS) to serve as a single database for 

tracking, coordinating, and managing all U.S. Government agency 

projects receiving Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Funds. 

According to the Special Inspector General for Iraq 

Reconstruction, IRMS had a short design life and rapidly became 

operationally unreliable and unstable. DOD and other agencies 

frequently used internal systems to track and manage their own 

projects. In July 2008, DOD and the Department of State agreed 

to use the Synchronized Predeployment Operational Tracker (SPOT) 

as a common database and system of record for data on contracts 

and contractor personnel. However, GAO and others have raised 

serious questions about the reliability of the data contained in 

SPOT. The conferees conclude that improved contract data 

systems are critical to ensure sound decision-making and 

transparency in future overseas operations. 

Inclusion of operational contract support in certain 

requirements for Department of Defense planning, joint 

professional military education, and management structure (sec. 

845) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 863) that 

would require the Department of Defense to address issues 

arising out of contract support for overseas contingency 

operations in several military systems and processes. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 

the provision applies to all types of operational contract 

support and delete subsection (c) of the Senate provision 

relating to joint professional military education. 
153 

 The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure 

that the curriculum established for each phase of joint 

professional military education pursuant to section 2154 of 

title 10, United States Code, includes content appropriate for 

such phase on requirements definition, program management for 

operational contract support, contracting for operational 

contract support, and the strategic impact of contracting on 

military missions. 

Requirements for risk assessments related to contractor 

performance (sec. 846) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 864) that 

would require the Department of Defense, the Department of 

State, and the United States Agency for International 

Development to perform risk assessments and develop risk 

mitigation plans for risks associated with contractor 

performance of critical functions in support of any contingency 

operation that is expected to continue for more than 1 year and 

require the expenditure of more than $250.0 million for contract 

support. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 

provision and add a requirement that operational plans developed 

by combatant commanders address potential risks associated with 

reliance on contractors to perform critical functions. 

Extension and modification of reports on contracting in Iraq and 

Afghanistan (sec. 847) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 865) that 

would extend for 2 years the requirement for an annual report on 

contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan pursuant to section 863 of 

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 

(Public Law 110-181), as amended by section 835 of the Ike 

Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 

(Public Law 111-383). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Responsibilities of Inspectors General for overseas contingency 

operations (sec. 848) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 869) that 

would establish the oversight responsibilities of the Inspectors 

General of the Department of Defense, the Department of Defense, 

and the United States Agency for International Development for 
154 

overseas contingency operations. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment streamlining the 

provision. 

 The conferees agree that establishing clear oversight 

responsibility is essential to minimize fraud, waste, and abuse 

in future overseas contingency operations. 

Oversight of contracts and contracting activities for overseas 

contingency operations in responsibilities of Chief Acquisition 

Officers of Federal agencies (sec. 849) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 871) that 

would establish the responsibility of the Chief Acquisition 

Officers of federal agencies for providing oversight of 

contracts and contracting activities of their agencies in 

support of overseas contingency operations. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Reports on responsibility within Department of State and the 

United States Agency for International Development for contract 

support for overseas contingency operations (sec. 850) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 872) that 

would require the Secretary of State and the Administrator for 

the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) 

to submit a report to Congress on contract support for overseas 

contingency operations, including an assessment of the relevant 

agency chain of command, procedures and processes, and 

strategies for improvements. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees agree on the importance of a clear chain of 

responsibility for policy, planning, execution, and management 

of contract support for overseas contingency operations. The 

need for further clarification on this issue is underscored by 

Government Accountability Office report GAO-12-854R, “Agency 

Actions to Address Recommendations by the Commission on Wartime 

Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan,” which noted that the 

Department of State and USAID have no plans to implement 

approximately two-thirds of the recommendations of the 

Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Database on price trends of items and services under Federal 

contracts (sec. 851) 
155 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 874) that 

would require the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy 

to establish a database of information on price trends for items 

and services under contracts with the Federal Government. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Department of Defense (DOD) 

already maintains a database of price information pursuant to 

section 892 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization 

for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) and the “Better Buying 

Power” initiative of the Secretary of Defense. The conferees 

understand that the DOD database will serve as a model for the 

government-wide database and that the Department will not be 

required to establish a new database to comply with the 

requirements of this section. 

Information on corporate contractor performance and integrity 

through the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity 

Information System (sec. 852) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 875) that 

would require a modification to the Federal Awardee Performance 

and Integrity Information System to include information on 

parent, subsidiary, and successor entities. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Inclusion of data on contractor performance in past performance 

databases for executive agency source selection decisions (sec. 

853) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 876) that 

would require the prompt inclusion of data on contractor 

performance in past performance databases and establish the 

timeline for contractor comments and responses. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that this section would extend to 

civilian agencies requirements that are identical to the 

requirements already applicable to the Department of Defense 

pursuant to section 806 of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). 

Subtitle E-Other Matters 

Requirements and limitations for suspension and debarment 

officials of the Department of Defense, the Department of State, 
156 

and the United States Agency for International Development (sec. 

861) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881) that 

would require the suspension and debarment officials of the 

military departments and the Defense Logistics Agency, and of 

the Department of State and the United States Agency for 

International Development, to be independent of acquisition 

officials and to develop written policies for the consideration 

and documentation of referrals and decisions. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify and 

streamline the provision. The conferees direct suspension and 

debarment officials to ensure that the documentation guidance 

required by this provision addresses, at a minimum, 

documentation requirements for decisions to suspend or debar, 

decisions not to suspend or debar, decisions to decline to 

pursue suspension or debarment, and administrative agreements 

entered into in lieu of suspension or debarment. 

Uniform contract writing system requirements (sec. 862) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 882) that 

would require the Department of Defense, the Department of 

State, and the United States Agency for International 

Development to establish uniform standards and requirements for 

the processing of procurement requests, contracts, receipts, and 

invoices. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Extension of other transaction authority (sec. 863) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 887) that 

would extend for 5 years the authority for the Secretary of 

Defense to carry out a pilot program for the acquisition of 

certain prototypes pursuant to “other transactions” under 

section 845 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to review the 

authority extended by this provision and make a recommendation 

as to whether the authority should be made permanent. The 

conferees expect the Secretary to ensure that applicable 

guidance provides appropriate safeguards against abuse before 

seeking permanent authority. 
157 

Report on allowable costs of compensation of contractor 

employees (sec. 864) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 842) that 

would reduce the limitation on allowable compensation for 

defense contractor employees from the median amount of 

compensation provided to senior executives in large United 

States corporations (currently $763,000) to the maximum level of 

compensation for federal employees, which is set at the annual 

salary of the Vice President of the United States (currently 

$230,700). The provision would also require a report by the 

Department of Defense Inspector General on allowable costs of 

employee compensation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 

report by the Comptroller General on allowable costs of employee 

compensation. The conferees conclude that Congress should have 

the benefit of this review before mandating a new or revised cap 

on such compensation. 

Reports on use of indemnification agreements (sec. 865) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 847) that 

would require the Department of Defense to report to the 

congressional defense committees on the use of indemnification 

agreements in defense contracts. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Plan to increase number of contractors eligible for contracts 

under Air Force NETCENTS-2 contract (sec. 866) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 889C) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to 

increase the number of contractors eligible to be awarded 

contracts under the Air Force’s Network-Centric Solutions-2 

(NETCENTS-2) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract. 

The Secretary would be required to submit that plan to the 

congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of 

this Act. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Inclusion of information on prevalent grounds for sustaining bid 

protests in annual protect report by Comptroller General to 

Congress (sec. 867) 
158 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 889D) that 

would require the Comptroller General to include information on 

common grounds for sustaining bid protests in annual reports to 

Congress. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Management structure for developmental test and evaluation 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that 

would clarify the oversight and supervisory responsibilities of 

the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Developmental Test 

and Evaluation over the chief developmental testers and lead 

developmental test and evaluation organizations of the military 

departments. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note the matters addressed in the Senate 

provision are addressed elsewhere in the conference agreement. 

Prohibition on contracting with persons that have business 

operations with state sponsors of terrorism 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 

prohibit the Department of Defense from entering contracts with 

persons that have business operations with state sponsors of 

terrorism. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Additional definition relating to production of specialty metals 

within the United States 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 817) that would 

provide a statutory definition for the term “produced” as used 

in section 2533b of title 10, United States Code, requiring that 

specialty metals be produced in the United States. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that section 823 of the Ike Skelton 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public 

Law 111-383) required the Secretary of Defense to review and 

revise the regulatory definition for the term “produced,” as 

necessary and appropriate. On July 24, 2012 – almost a year 
159 

after the statutory deadline – a proposed rule revising the 

definition was published for comment in the Federal Register. 

The conferees are disappointed by this delay and urge the 

Secretary to complete the regulatory process as quickly as 

possible. 

Assessment of infrared technology sectors 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 818) that would 

direct the Department of Defense (DOD) to conduct an assessment 

and report on the health and status of various sectors of the 

national defense infrared technology industrial base. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to assess the 

health and status of the relevant industrial base sectors 

critical to the design, development, and manufacturing of 

infrared technologies of interest to the national defense 

community. The technologies of interest include, but are not 

limited to, focal plane arrays, as well as associated 

electronics, cooling technologies, and integrated imaging 

systems. The assessment shall leverage the on going DOD sectorby-sector, tier-by-tier industrial base assessment activities by 

the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manufacturing and 

Industrial Base Policy and the Department of Defense shall brief 

the congressional defense committees on the findings of the 

assessment within 120 days after the date of the enactment of 

this Act. 

One-year extension of temporary limitation on aggregate annual 

amount available for contract services 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 821) that 

would extend for 1 year the limitation on aggregate annual 

spending for contract services in section 808 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-

81. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the level of authorized spending 

for contract services is addressed elsewhere in this conference 

report. 

Enhancement of review of acquisition process for rapid fielding 

of capabilities in response to urgent operational needs 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
160 

strike the requirement in section 804 of the Ike Skelton 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public 

Law 111-383) that the streamlined acquisition process for rapid 

fielding of capabilities in response to urgent operational needs 

be used only for capabilities that can appropriately be acquired 

under fixed-price contracts. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Location of contractor-operated call centers in the United 

States 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 

require that any call center operated pursuant to a Department 

of Defense contract be located in the United States. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Consideration and verification of information relating to effect 

on domestic employment of award of defense contracts 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would 

authorize Department of Defense officials to consider 

information relating to the effect on employment in the United 

States in making award decisions for competitive proposals. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Requirement to include trafficking in persons in performance 

assessments of defense contractors 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would 

require the inclusion of trafficking in persons in any 

performance assessment of a defense contractor or subcontractor. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The issue of trafficking in persons by defense contractors, 

subcontractors, and by labor recruiters, brokers, and agents for 

such contractors and subcontractors, is comprehensively 

addressed elsewhere in the conference report. 

Short title 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 860) that 

would provide a short title for the wartime subcontracting 

subtitle of the bill. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 
161 

 The Senate recedes. 

Sense of Senate on the contributions of Latvia and other North 

Atlantic Treaty Organization member nations to the success of 

the Northern Distribution Network 

 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 868) that 

would express the sense of the Senate commending Latvia and 

other North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states 

along the Northern Distribution Network (NDN) for their 

contributions in maintaining reliable lines of supply for U.S. 

and coalition forces in Afghanistan. The provision would also 

express support for efforts by the Department of Defense (DOD) 

to procure goods from Latvia and other NATO member states along 

the NDN when competitively-priced quality products are 

available. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note the mutually-beneficial relationship 

that the United States has with Latvia and other NATO member 

nations along the NDN for supplying U.S. and coalition forces in 

Afghanistan. The conferees encourage DOD to continue to 

cultivate this important relationship. 

Agency reports and inspector general audits of certain 

information on overseas contingency operations 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 870) that 

would require inspector general audits of certain information 

provided by the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of 

State (State), and the United States Agency for International 

Development (USAID). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that a separate provision of this Act 

would clarify the responsibility of the Inspectors General of 

DOD, State, and USAID for reviewing and ascertaining the 

accuracy of information provided by federal agencies relative to 

obligations and expenditures, costs of programs and projects, 

accountability of funds, and the award and execution of major 

contracts, grants, and agreements in support of contingency 

operations. 

Professional education for Department of State personnel on 

acquisition for Department of State support and participation in 

overseas contingency operations 
162 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) that 

would require the Secretary of State to develop and administer a 

course of professional education on acquisition for specified 

Department of State personnel. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees agree on the importance of professional 

education on acquisition matters for key personnel responsible 

for contract support in overseas contingency operations and 

expect the Department of State to take appropriate steps to 

ensure the development and implementation of suitable training 

courses. The conferees intend to work with the committees of 

jurisdiction in the Senate and the House of Representatives to 

ensure proper oversight of these efforts. 

Public availability of database of senior Department of Defense 

officials seeking employment with defense contractors 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 877) that 

would require that information in the database established 

pursuant to section 847(b) of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) be made available 

to the public. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the database established pursuant 

to section 847(b) consists of written legal opinions prepared by 

DOD ethics officials and provided to DOD personnel on an 

individual basis to help guide their conduct. 

Additional bases for suspension or debarment 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881A) that 

would provide for mandatory consideration of suspension or 

debarment in certain circumstances. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Comptroller General of the United States review of use by the 

Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the United 

States Agency for International Development of urgent and 

compelling exception to competition 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 883) that 

would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to 

review the use by the Department of Defense (DOD), the 

Department of State, and the United States Agency for 
163 

International Development of the unusual and compelling urgency 

exception to full and open competition. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Comptroller General to report to 

the appropriate congressional committees by not later than 1 

year after the date of the enactment of this Act on the use of 

the urgent and compelling exception by the DOD, the Department 

of State, and the United States Agency for International 

Development. The Comptroller General’s report should address, 

at a minimum, the following: (1) the pattern of use of the 

exception by acquisition organizations; (2) the range of items 

or services acquired through the use of the exception; (3) the 

process for reviewing and approving justifications involving the 

exception; (4) whether the justifications meet the requirements 

of the Federal Acquisition Regulation; (5) the extent to which 

the exception is used as a basis for sole-source procurements, 

and whether such use is justified; and (6) agency compliance 

with the statutory requirement to limit the duration of 

contracts awarded pursuant the exception. 

Authority to provide fee-for-service inspection and testing by 

Defense Contract Management Agency for certain critical 

equipment in the absence of a procurement contract 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 884) that 

would authorize the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) to 

accept reimbursement from a manufacturer or assembler for 

testing and inspection of an item when the nature of the item 

requires such inspection or testing as a precondition to 

government acceptance of the item under a future government 

contract. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

The conferees understand that the Department of Defense 

(DOD) requested this authority to enable contractors who choose 

to proceed with the development of new defense products at their 

own risk to have those products tested and qualified in advance 

of the award of a contract, shortening the lead times necessary 

to meet military requirements. However, the conferees are 

concerned that the proposed legislation included no mechanisms 

to ensure that: (1) small businesses that cannot afford to pay 

for inspection or testing have equal access to the program; and 

(2) the program is used only for high priority military needs 

and not to advantage particular manufacturers or products in a 

competitive market. The conferees are also concerned that DCMA 

may not be the most appropriate, or the only, testing resource 
164 

that should be made available for the purpose of pre-award 

testing. The conferees remain open to a future legislative 

proposal that addresses these issues. 

Report by the suspension and debarment officials of the military 

departments and the Defense Logistics Agency 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 889) that 

would require the suspension and debarment officials of the 

military departments and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to 

report to the congressional defense committees on the timeliness 

of suspension and debarment processes and decisions. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees direct the suspension and debarment officials 

of the military departments and DLA, in coordination with 

Department of Defense officials responsible for preparing 

suspension and debarment cases, to report to the congressional 

defense committees on: (1) target goals for preparing and 

processing suspension and debarment cases; (2) average times for 

preparing and processing suspension and debarment cases; and (3) 

if the military department or DLA is not meeting target goals, 

an explanation for the shortcoming and a description of actions 

that have been taken or will be taken to ensure that target 

goals for preparing and processing suspension and debarment 

cases are met in the future. 

Annual report on defense contracting fraud 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 889B) that 

would require the Department of Defense to report annually on 

contracts awarded to companies that have previously been 

indicted for, settled charges of, been fined for, or been 

convicted of fraud. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

TITLE IX–DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION 

AND MANAGEMENT 

Subtitle A–Department of Defense Management 

Additional duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy and amendments to 

Strategic Materials Protection Board (sec. 901) 
165 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 901) that would 

amend section 139c of title 10, United States Code, to specify 

the duties of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy. The provision would 

also amend section 187 of title 10, United States Code, to 

realign the membership of the Strategic Materials Protection 

Board. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

The conferees are concerned that responsibility for the 

secure supply of materials critical to national security, which 

supports the defense industrial base, is decentralized 

throughout the Department of Defense. Therefore, the conferees 

believe that in order to support a more coherent, comprehensive 

strategy as it pertains to materials critical to national 

security, the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of 

Defense for Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy should 

provide relevant policy guidance and oversight of matters that 

pertain to ensuring reliable resource availability of materials 

critical to national security. 

Requirement for focus on urgent operational needs and rapid 

acquisition (sec. 902) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to designate a senior official 

to be the focal point within the Department of Defense (DOD) to 

lead the Department’s urgent operational needs and rapid 

acquisition efforts. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that this provision does not require the 

creation of a new position or a new office, but can be addressed 

by the designation of a senior official in an existing position. 

DOD Directive 5000.71, dated August 24, 2012, establishes the 

Warfighter Senior Integration Group as a standing DOD-wide forum 

to lead and facilitate rapid responses to urgent operational 

needs identified by combatant commanders and assigns key policy 

and implementation responsibilities to the Director of the Joint 

Rapid Acquisition Cell. 

The conferees also note that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 

of Staff Instruction 3170.01H, issued January 10, 2012, and the 

Manual for the Operation of the Joint Capabilities Integration 

and Development System, issued January 19, 2012, establish a new 

category of requirement, known as Joint Emergent Operational 

Needs (JEON). Under the Instruction and the Manual, JEONs may 
166 

be acquired through rapid fielding processes developed for 

acquisitions to meet Joint Urgent Operational Needs (JUON). The 

Instruction and the Manual make little distinction between JUONs 

and JEONs: both go through the same rapid acquisition process, 

both are authorized to use the same expedited alternatives to 

Analyses of Alternatives, both are permitted to proceed directly 

to procurement “without the need to develop and validate any of 

the other associated JCIDS [Joint Capabilities Integration 

Development System] documents”; and both are assessed for longterm operational utility only after they have been fielded. 

Unlike JUONs, however, JEONs are not subject to statutory 

requirements limiting them to capabilities that can be fielded 

within 2 years, do not require extensive development, are based 

on proven technologies, and can be appropriately acquired 

through fixed price contracts. 

The conferees conclude that JEONs must be more than a 

process for avoiding the up-front planning requirements of the 

Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-

23) and the limitations established in section 804(b) of the Ike 

Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 

(Public Law 111-383). Accordingly, the conferees direct the 

Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 

Logistics, in coordination with the Vice Chairman of the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff, to develop additional guidance for JEONs, 

including: 

• criteria for assessing the urgency of requirements 

(including a determination of the likelihood of “an 

anticipated or pending contingency operation”); 

• standards for ensuring that technologies are 

sufficiently mature to be suitable for rapid acquisition; 

• procedures for ensuring the appropriate consideration 

of alternative solutions; and 

• processes for ensuring appropriate cost-performance 

trade-offs, sound cost estimates, and robust testing and 

systems engineering. 

In the absence of well-developed protections along these 

lines, the conferees do not believe that rapid acquisition 

processes are an appropriate mechanism to meet requirements 

identified as JEONs.

 Finally, the conferees note that Section 804 required the 

Secretary of Defense to conduct a comprehensive review of the 

Department’s urgent operational needs and rapid acquisition 

processes and report the findings to the congressional defense 

committees by January 2012. The conferees are disappointed that 

the Department has yet to transmit the required report. 

Designation of Department of Defense senior official for 
167 

enterprise resource planning system data conversion (sec. 903) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to designate a senior official 

in the Department of Defense with principal responsibility for 

coordination and management oversight of data conversion for 

enterprise resource planning systems and set forth the 

responsibilities of that senior official. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Additional responsibilities and resources for Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of Defense for Developmental Test and Evaluation (sec. 

904) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would 

clarify the responsibilities and resources available to the 

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Developmental Test and 

Evaluation (DASD(DT&E)). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would: (1) 

authorize the DASD(DT&E) to communicate directly to the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 

(USD(AT&L)) on matters within the statutory responsibilities of 

the office; (2) clarify the oversight and supervisory 

responsibilities of the DASD(DT&E) over the chief developmental 

testers and lead developmental test and evaluation organizations 

of the military departments; (3) ensure that the DASD(DT&E) is 

consulted on assessments of technical maturity and integration 

risk of critical technologies at key stages in the acquisition 

process; (4) provide for the DASD(DT&E) to serve concurrently as 

the Director of the Defense Test Resource Management Center 

(TRMC); (5) require that the DASD(DT&E) be provided sufficient 

professional staff and civilian personnel to carry out the 

statutory responsibilities of the office; (6) ensure that the 

DASD(DT&E) has prompt access to test records and data relating 

to major defense acquisition programs; (7) require that the 

DASD(DT&E) and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

Systems Engineering provide separate reports to Congress; (8) 

provide for separate sections in the DASD(DT&E)’s report 

addressing the activities of the TRMC and assessing the adequacy 

of resources available to the DASD(DT&E) and to matrixed 

organizations, including the lead developmental test and 

evaluation organizations of the military departments; 9) require 

the USD(AT&L) to report annually to the congressional defense 

committees on any decision by a major defense acquisition 

program to disregard the recommendations of the DASD(DT&E) 
168 

regarding either elements to be included in the developmental 

test and evaluation plan for the program or the readiness of the 

program to proceed to initial operational testing and 

evaluation; and (10) require the USD(AT&L) to notify the 

congressional defense committees of any decision to conduct 

developmental testing on a major defense acquisition program 

without an approved test and evaluation plan in place. 

 The Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (Public 

Law 111-23) established the position of DASD(DT&E) because of a 

recognition that developmental testing and evaluation plays a 

critical role in identifying and correcting problems in major 

weapon systems early, before they lead to excessive cost 

overruns and schedule delays. For this reason, the conferees 

are disappointed that the Department of Defense has not yet 

fully resourced the office of DASD(DT&E) and has not always 

included DASD(DT&E) in key meetings regarding major defense 

acquisition programs. The conferees are also troubled that the 

military departments have not always provided test records and 

data in a timely manner and have not given adequate attention to 

shortcomings identified by DASD(DT&E) in developmental testing. 

The conferees expect the Department to take prompt and 

aggressive action to address these shortcomings. 

The conferees note that the provision would require the 

Secretary of Defense to ensure that the DASD(DT&E) has 

sufficient professional staff of military and civilian personnel 

to enable the Deputy Assistant Secretary to carry out the duties 

and responsibilities prescribed by law. In this regard, the 

conferees are particularly concerned by the low number of 

members of the senior executive service who have been assigned 

to the Office of Developmental Test and Evaluation. The 

conferees direct the USD(AT&L), as he evaluates the organization 

and staffing of his office, to give careful consideration to the 

question whether the DASD(DT&E) is adequately resourced and 

appropriately placed within the office. 

Definition and report on terms “preparation of the environment” 

and “operational preparation of the environment” for joint 

doctrine purposes (sec. 905) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 901) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to formally define the 

terms “preparation of the environment (PE)” and “operational 

preparation of the environment (OPE)” for the purposes of Joint 

Doctrine and provide the Committees on Armed Services of the 

Senate and House of Representatives a report, including: the 

definitions of PE and OPE, examples of PE and OPE activities 

highlighting application of the concepts and drawing 
169 

distinctions between the two types of activities, and an 

assessment of the respective roles of special operations and 

general purpose forces in conducting PE and OPE activities. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 

reporting format to include a classified annex. 

 The conferees are concerned that, despite frequent use, the 

terms PE and OPE are not accurately defined or clearly 

understood, and are often used interchangeably to describe 

various Title 10 activities by special operations and general 

purpose forces. Furthermore, the conferees believe the 

inadequate definition of these terms has resulted in confusion 

within the military, friction in the interagency coordination 

process, and reduced congressional oversight by the defense 

committees. In responding to subsections (b)(2), (b)(4), and 

(b)(5) of the required report, the conferees direct the 

Secretary of Defense to provide examples of activities meeting 

the definitions of operational preparation of the environment 

and preparation of the environment as well as an assessment of 

the appropriate roles of special operations forces and general 

purpose forces in carrying out such activities in all relevant 

domains, including land, sea, air, space, and cyber. 

Information for Deputy Chief Management Officer of the 

Department of Defense from the military departments and Defense 

Agencies for defense business system investment reviews (sec. 

906) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 904) that 

would ensure that the Deputy Chief Management Officer of the 

Department of Defense has access to information relevant to the 

performance of the functions of that office. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Subtitle B–Space Activities 

Reports on Integration of Acquisition and Capability Delivery 

Schedules for Segments of Major Satellite Acquisition Programs 

and Funding for Such Programs (sec. 911) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 911) that would 

direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 

Technology, and Logistics to submit an annual assessment for 5 

years on the synchronization of satellite, ground, and user 

terminal segments of space major defense acquisition programs. 

For each such space program for which a primary capability of 
170 

such program will be operable by one program segment at least 1 

year after the date on which such capability is operable by 

another program segment, the Under Secretary would provide the 

cause of the delay, identify the steps the Department is taking 

to improve the alignment of when the program segments become 

operable, and outline the related challenges, costs, and risks. 

The assessment would also include a description of the impact to 

the mission of the space system from the delay. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 913) that 

would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 

Technology, and Logistics to track concurrently the development 

of both the satellite and ground systems and to report to 

Congress corrective measures that will be taken when the 

satellite and ground systems are more than 1 year apart in 

synchronization. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 

report on each major satellite acquisition program assessing the 

integration of acquisition and delivery of capabilities of 

program segments and, if the program is determined to be nonintegrated, what the impacts are on mission and what measures 

should be taken to ensure the program is integrated. The 

amendment requires the milestone decision authority to submit a 

similar report as part of the documentation used to approve the 

acquisition of a major satellite program and again at milestone 

B. The amendment requires, if after submission of the report, 

the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 

Logistics determines the program is non-integrated, the Under 

Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees a 

report identifying its impact on mission, measures to improve 

acquisition, and any risks and challenges that impede the 

ability to integrate the program. The Under Secretary shall 

continue to update the report with the President’s budget 

submission to Congress for 5 years unless the program becomes 

integrated before that time. If the program continues to be 

non-integrated at the end of 5 years, the Government 

Accountability Office shall review the program and submit the 

results of the review to the congressional defense committees. 

Commercial space launch cooperation (sec. 912) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 916) that would 

provide authorities for the Department of Defense to enter into 

contracts with private entities for cooperation on launch ranges 

and facilities.

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

912). 

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
171 

The conferees note that this provision applies only to 

bases and launch facilities administered by the Department of 

Defense and is intended for those commercial entities who 

already operate at Department of Defense sites or will be 

required to operate there due to the nature of the mission they 

are conducting.

Limitations on international agreements concerning outer space 

activities (sec. 913) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 913) that would 

prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated by this or any 

other Act for use by the Secretary of Defense or the Director of 

National Intelligence to limit the activities of the Department 

of Defense or the Intelligence Community in outer space to 

implement or comply with an international agreement concerning 

outer space activities unless such agreement is ratified by the 

Senate or authorized by statute. The provision would require a 

report not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 

this Act by the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense 

on the negotiations on an international agreement concerning 

outer space activities. The provision would also require the 

Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress, including all 

committees with an interest in outer space activities, an 

unclassified annual report by January 1st of each year, detailing 

foreign countries, including the names of such countries, with 

counter-space programs that could be a threat to the national 

security or commercial space systems of the United States. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 

certification by the President that, if the United States 

becomes a signatory to a non-legally binding international 

agreement concerning an International Code of Conduct for Outer 

Space Activities or any other similar agreement, the agreement 

has no legally binding effect for limiting activities by the 

United States in outer space. Furthermore, the provision would 

require the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of National Intelligence to 

certify that the agreement is equitable, enhances national 

security, and has no militarily significant impact on the United 

States’ ability to conduct military or intelligence activities 

in outer space. The amendment would require regular briefings 

to Congress on the status of any negotiation leading to such a 

non-legally binding international agreement concerning an 

International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities or any 

other similar agreement. If the United States becomes a 

signatory to a non-legally binding international agreement 
172 

concerning an International Code of Conduct for Outer Space 

Activities or other similar agreement, the amendment would 

require notification to Congress at least 60 days prior to 

signing such an agreement by the head of each agency or 

department of the Federal Government addressing the effects of 

such action. 

The conferees do not intend the certification requirement 

in this provision to set any legislative precedent regarding 

non-legally binding international agreements, which shall each 

be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 

Operationally Responsive Space Program Office (sec. 914) 

 The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 911) that would 

give acquisition authority for the Operationally Responsive 

Space (ORS) Program Office to the Program Executive Officer for 

Space and change the head of the office reporting structure from 

the Department of Defense Executive Agent for Space to the 

Commander of the Air Force Space and Missile Command. The 

provision would require an Executive Committee made up of the 

Commander of the Air Force Space Command; the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics; the 

Commander of U.S. Strategic Command; and the Executive Agent for 

Space, which would chair the board. The provision grants 

authority to transfer up to $60.0 million from the Weather 

Follow On Satellite Program, to the extent provided in 

appropriations acts to other higher priority programs. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would delete the 

Follow On Weather Satellite and add the Army and Navy space 

program commanders to the Executive Committee to ensure that 

decisions are made accounting for the joint nature of the ORS 

program office. 

The conferees instruct the Commander of the Air Force Space 

and Missile Systems Center to which the Office now reports, to 

provide a plan to the congressional defense committees, not 

later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, that 

discusses how the existing and future technologies and 

operational systems developed in the ORS program are to be 

integrated into service acquisition programs to meet combatant 

command requirements. 

Report on overhead persistent infrared technology (sec. 915) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 912) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 

Director of National Intelligence, to submit to the 
173 

congressional defense committees, the Senate Select Committee on 

Intelligence, and the House Permanent Select Committee on 

Intelligence, within 270 days after the date of the enactment of 

this Act, a report on Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) 

technology that specifically addresses the following: (1) an 

assessment of whether there are further opportunities for the 

Department of Defense and the intelligence community to 

capitalize on increased data sharing, fusion, interoperability, 

and exploitation; and (2) a recommendation as to how to better 

coordinate efforts between the Department and the intelligence 

community for exploitation of OPIR sensor data. The provision 

would also require that not later than 90 days after the 

Department delivers its report to the congressional defense 

committees, the Comptroller General of the United States assess 

the Department's report to ensure it is comprehensive, fully 

supported, and sufficiently detailed. Further, the Comptroller 

General shall identify any shortcomings, limitations, or other 

matters that affect the quality or findings of the Department's 

report on OPIR. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 

assessment to include elements of the Joint OPIR Integrated 

Space Trade (JOIST) study by the Department of Defense and 

intelligence community as it pertains to OPIR technology 

requirements, strategy, plan, and budget for the entire space 

layer of the Department of Defense and intelligence community 

with supporting ground architecture for current and next 

generation OPIR with respect to missile warning, missile 

defense, battlespace awareness, and technical intelligence. The 

amendment also shortens the reporting requirement from 270 days 

to 180 days. 

Assessment of foreign components and the space launch capability 

of the United States (sec. 916) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 914) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to direct a federally funded 

research and development center to conduct an independent 

assessment on the national security implications of continuing 

to use foreign component and propulsion systems for launch 

vehicles under the evolved expendable launch program. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 

Logistics to conduct the independent study. It should be 

emphasized that given the cost to perform studies, the Under 

Secretary should use the most cost effective method possible. 
174 

This provision is not directing the Under Secretary to contract 

outside the Department to perform the assessment, but to use the 

many federal advisory panels that advise the Under Secretary if 

at all possible. 

Report on counter space technology (sec. 917) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 915) that would 

require a report, to be submitted to the Armed Services 

Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives and 

Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee 

on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, not later 

than 1 year after enactment of this Act and annually thereafter 

for 2 years, which details key space technologies that could be 

used, or are being sought, by a foreign country with a counter 

space or ballistic missile program, and should be subject to 

export controls by the United States or an ally of the United 

States, as appropriate. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add the 

Counter Space Technology List at the Department of State as part 

of the information the report is to be based on. 

Subtitle C–Intelligence-Related Activities 

Authority to provide geospatial intelligence support to certain 

security alliances and regional organizations (sec. 921) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would 

amend section 443 of title 10, United States Code, to provide 

the Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency 

(NGA) the authority to provide regional organizations with 

defense or security components and security alliances of which 

the United States is a member with imagery intelligence and 

geospatial information support. The provision would also 

require, in each case of providing imagery intelligence or 

geospatial information support to a regional organization or 

security alliance, the Director of the NGA to: (1) ensure that 

such intelligence and such support are not provided by such 

regional organization or such security alliance to any other 

person or entity; (2) notify the congressional defense 

committees, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the 

House of Representatives, and the Select Committee on 

Intelligence of the Senate that the Director of the NGA has 

provided such intelligence or support; and (3) coordinate the 

provision of such intelligence and such support with the 

commander of the appropriate combatant command. 
175 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

921) that would allow the NGA Director to also share information 

with international organizations. The Senate provision did not 

include requirements described in (1), (2), and (3) of the House 

provision described above. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require, in 

lieu of the conditions described in (1), (2), and (3) of the 

House provision, the NGA director to submit a report by January 

15, 2014 and 2015, on the information support provided during 

the preceding years, including an identification of each 

organization or alliance receiving such support, and the number 

of times such support was provided. 

Technical amendments to reflect change in name of National 

Defense Intelligence College to National Intelligence University 

(sec. 922) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 922) that would 

provide a technical correction to Section 2161 of title 10, 

United States Code, to account for the redesignation of the 

National Defense Intelligence College as the National 

Intelligence University. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes. 

Review of Army Distributed Common Ground System (sec. 923) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 922) that 

would direct the Secretary of the Army to assign oversight of 

the Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) cloud 

acquisition effort to the Army's Chief Information Officer 

(CIO)/G-6. The provision would require the CIO to conduct an 

audit of the program and provide an assessment and 

recommendations to the Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff 

of the Army by December 1, 2012. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of the Army to direct the Army Systems Acquisition 

Review Council to review the DCGS-A program and report to the 

congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of 

this Act. The review would include an assessment of: (1) the 

acquisition strategy; (2) current technical performance as 

compared to requirements; (3) competitive procedures for 

incorporating new capabilities, including through product flyoffs; (4) plans and mechanisms to incorporate industry best 

practices and to ensure compatibility with the Joint Information 

Environment; (5) the adequacy of investments to maximize ease of 
176 

use; (6) the Army’s preparations to ensure that enterprise 

knowledge management and training for DCGS is compatible with 

force structure planning; and (7) the need for changes in the 

DCGS-A program. 

 The conferees expect the Army to ensure that the DCGS-A 

acquisition process is open to the agile and competitive 

adoption or incorporation of advanced commercial tools and 

capabilities, whether they be licensed products or based on 

unlicensed open source technology or software. Where comparable 

in cost and performance, such commercial or commercial open 

source capabilities should have at least an equal status to 

government-funded development activities with contractors based 

on “open source” technology or software foundations. 

Electro-optical imagery (sec. 924) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 930) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense and the Director of 

National Intelligence to sustain through fiscal year 2013 the 

commercial electro-optical (EO) imagery collection capacity 

planned under the Enhanced View program approved in the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-

81). The provision also would require the Vice Chairman of the 

Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a comprehensive analysis of 

imagery requirements for the Department of Defense (DOD). The 

provision would in addition require the Congressional Budget 

Office (CBO) to conduct a study, based on the DOD requirements, 

of the potential role of commercial-class imagery in meeting the 

needs of the government. The provision would require the 

completion of these studies in time to inform decisions on the 

fiscal year 2014 budget and the fiscal year 2015 budget request 

by Congress. Finally, the provision would require CBO to 

examine whether the administration's proposed actions on 

commercial imagery are consistent with Presidential policy 

directives, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and 

statute. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would remove: (1) 

the requirement that the administration sustain through fiscal 

year 2013 the commercial imagery collection capacity planned 

under the Enhanced View program previously approved by Congress; 

and (2) the requirement that CBO assess whether the 

administration’s decision to reduce purchases of commercial 

industry and procure from only one company is consistent with 

policy, FAR, and statute. 

 The conferees note that, in the wake of the government’s 

budget decisions, the two commercial EO imagery companies 
177 

decided to merge, which, if upheld by an ongoing Department of 

Justice review, would undermine the rationale for the Senate 

provision’s requirement to sustain collection capacity at 

previously approved levels. If the corporate merger is rejected 

as anti-competitive, the conferees will consider the state of 

the industrial base in their assessment of the results of the 

requirements and capabilities studies mandated in this 

conference agreement.

Defense Clandestine Service (sec. 925) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 932) that 

would prohibit the obligation of appropriated Military 

Intelligence Program (MIP) funds in fiscal year 2013 to exceed 

the number of personnel conducting or supporting human 

intelligence (HUMINT) within the Department of Defense (DOD) as 

of April 20, 2012. This provision would also require the Office 

of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) to provide an 

estimate of the total cost of the Defense Clandestine Service 

(DCS) to the congressional defense and intelligence committees. 

The provision also would require the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Intelligence (USDI) to provide a report to the 

congressional defense and intelligence committees by February 1, 

2013, that provides or explains: (1) where DOD case officers 

will be deployed or based and a schedule for those deployments; 

(2) certification that the prospective locations can and will 

accommodate these deployments; (3) the objectives established 

for each military service, U.S. Special Operations Command, and 

the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to improve career 

management for case officers and the plans to achieve the 

objectives of the DCS; and (4) any Memoranda of Agreement or 

Understanding necessary to implement planned reforms with other 

departments and agencies and between DOD components. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the 

use of funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act to 

increase the civilian manpower on hand, conducting or supporting 

HUMINT, in excess of the fill-rate of such personnel as of April 

20, 2012. If, as of the date of enactment of this Act, the 

civilian fill-rate exceeds the fill-rate as of April 20, 2012, 

the Secretary of Defense must take appropriate action to 

promptly reduce the fill-rate, consistent with reduction in 

force procedures, to that as of April 20, 2012, unless the 

Secretary, within 30 days, provides a detailed justification for 

each of the additional civilians. If the Secretary chooses to 

submit justifications for the increased civilian fill-rates, the 

fill-rate during the remainder of fiscal year 2013 cannot exceed 
178 

the fill-rate as of the date of enactment of this Act. 

The justification provided by the Secretary shall address 

the questions contained in the classified annex to this report 

regarding any additional civilian personnel added to the DCS 

beyond the number employed in the Defense HUMINT enterprise as 

of April 20, 2012. 

 The amendment would also prohibit the use of funds 

authorized to be appropriated by this Act to increase the 

positions in the DOD served by members of the armed forces 

conducting or supporting HUMINT, in excess of the number of 

positions, or billets, as of April 20, 2012. 

The amendment would also require that CAPE consult with the 

Office of the Director of National Intelligence in conducting 

the required cost estimate of DCS. 

 The conferees support the efforts of the USDI and the DIA 

Director to reform the Defense HUMINT enterprise and provide 

multi-intelligence support to the military. However, the 

conferees agree that the DCS initiative should be limited in 

scope until the Department of Defense can demonstrate that it 

can correct longstanding problems in the recruitment, 

management, and execution of the clandestine service; that the 

service provides a unique capability to the Department of 

Defense; that the return on investment from further expansion in 

this mission area will be greater than that from alternative 

investments in other priorities, in the context of overall 

personnel and budget reductions; and that the proposed growth of 

the clandestine service and deployments can be supported. 

The conferees recommend that the Secretary of Defense 

consider, in future budget requests, proposing split funding 

between the National Intelligence Program and MIP budgets for 

the DCS, in light of the stated objective of focusing collection 

on the needs of the Department of Defense. 

Subtitle D–Cyberspace-Related Matters 

Implementation strategy for Joint Information Environment (sec. 

931) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 923) that 

would require the Department of Defense (DOD) to undertake 

comprehensive network consolidation and redesign to improve 

performance and enhance cybersecurity, and to free up personnel 

to achieve an appropriate balance between U.S. Cyber Command's 

mission capabilities. In the event that the rate at which 

personnel freed up from network consolidation is insufficient, 

or if the personnel available are not able to meet the 

requirements for supporting U.S. Cyber Command's offensive 
179 

missions, the provision would require the Secretary of Defense 

to take appropriate action to provide qualified personnel in the 

required timeframe. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would, in 

recognition of the activities already underway within DOD to 

rationalize the Department’s networks under the Joint 

Information Environment (JIE) initiative, direct the Secretary 

of Defense to define the strategy for implementing the JIE. The 

required strategy would include: (1) the Secretary’s vision for 

the JIE; (2) the key milestones, costs, metrics, and resources 

needed to achieve this vision; (3) the acquisition strategy and 

management plan for the JIE; (4) the key technical and policy 

challenges for implementation; (5) identification of 

dependencies and gaps with respect to other initiatives (such as 

data center consolidation and information technology 

efficiencies); and (6) plans for addressing the personnel 

challenges associated with manning, training, operating, and 

defending the JIE. 

 The amendment would also modify the Senate provision by 

requiring the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan to provide 

personnel to meet validated requirements for the JIE and for the 

full spectrum of cyber operations to support the missions and 

plans of the combatant commands and the national cyber defense 

mission of the Department, including offensive cyber operations. 

 The conferees are concerned about shortfalls in the number 

and quality of cyber personnel available to support the on-net 

intelligence collection, preparation of the environment, 

defensive, and offensive missions of the Department. The 

conferees understand that U.S. Cyber Command is currently 

defining the required number and skills of such personnel, in 

conjunction with the military services, combatant commands, and 

the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The conferees believe 

the number of highly skilled cyber operators that could be 

required and the difficulty in recruiting, training, and 

retaining them, is daunting. The conferees note that the 

Secretary of Defense has committed to provide Congress with his 

initial planning to address this personnel issue early in the 

coming calendar year. 

 Finally, the conferees note that the report accompanying 

the House bill (H.Rept.112-479) directs the Secretary of Defense 

to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees 

within 180 days of the enactment of this Act that identifies the 

National Guard units that have a computer network defense role 

and describes that role. The conferees direct that the 

Secretary’s cyber personnel planning and reporting to Congress 

include consideration of the National Guard. 
180 

 

Next-generation host-based cyber security system for the 

Department of Defense (sec. 932) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 924) that 

would require the Department of Defense (DOD) Chief Information 

officer (CIO) and the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) to develop a 

strategy to acquire next-generation host-based cybersecurity 

tools and capabilities, and provide that strategy to Congress in 

conjunction with the President’s budget request for fiscal year 

2015. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

CIO to consult with the USD(AT&L) and the Commander of U.S. 

Cyber Command in the development of the strategy and to ensure 

the consideration of commercial applications in acquiring 

security tools for integration into the next-generation hostbased security system. 

The conferees recognize that increased and improved threat 

intelligence is a critical component for the future 

cybersecurity posture of the military. Further, the conferees 

believe that the Department of Defense should do more to broaden 

the types and sources of cyber threat intelligence data to 

support the common operational picture, including data from 

host-based security systems, network flow data, and network 

hunting information. 

Additionally, the conferees believe that U.S. Cyber 

Command, along with the military services and combat support 

agencies, should do more concept development and experimentation 

with these new sources of cyber intelligence information to 

understand how to better utilize these sources in day-to-day 

operations. 

Improvements in assurance of computer software procured by the 

Department of Defense (sec. 933) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec.925) that 

would mandate multiple actions to improve the security and 

quality of computer software code used by the Department of 

Defense (DOD), and enhance the ability of the DOD to compete 

software maintenance and upgrades. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 

most of the specific required actions in the Senate provision, 

providing latitude to the DOD to develop or define methods and 

policies to improve software security and to measure their 
181 

effectiveness. The amendment would not specifically require DOD 

to develop or update best practice software development and 

acquisition models to improve the security of software, or to 

measure contractor compliance with such models; to develop, and 

require proof of compliance with, secure software coding 

standards; to require program managers to develop and implement 

secure software coding plans; to make use of third-party 

software code assessment centers in government and the private 

sector; or to make use of software repositories. 

 Instead, the provision would mandate that the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 

(USD(AT&L)) develop a baseline software assurance policy for the 

lifecycle of covered systems. The elements of the policy must 

include the mandated use of automated vulnerability analysis 

tools throughout the lifecycle of covered systems; the 

identification and prioritization of software security 

vulnerabilities and remediation strategies, and to reflect them 

in contract requirements; and the “promotion” of best practices 

and standards for achieving software security and quality. The 

USD(AT&L) also would be required collect data on the 

implementation of the policy and measure the effectiveness of 

the policy. 

 The conferees agree that DOD can and must make major 

improvements in the base level of security of the software it 

procures, including both custom-developed and commercial 

products modified or adapted specifically for DOD requirements. 

The conferees believe that improved software security need not 

be more costly or take more time to develop. Security must be 

designed, engineered, and tested into product development. 

 Leading commercial companies now understand the importance 

of secure software and have adopted disciplined, repeatable 

processes and techniques to achieve it. Industry associations 

and individual companies, as well as the National Security 

Agency (NSA) and the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology, claim that the National Information Assurance 

Partnership is truly transforming the Common Criteria process to 

ensure that security is built into commercial software products 

and objectively verified. The conferees are concerned that the 

DOD acquisition process and policies do not appear to have a 

defined role for Common Criteria. As the Department looks at 

how to translate remediation strategies into contract 

requirements and source selection criteria, the conferees direct 

that USD(AT&L) examine the potential role for Common Criteria 

product certifications in acquisitions of commercial software 

for covered systems, including commercial software packages that 

are integrated by or with custom code developed by DOD 

contractors. 
182 

 The conferees also note that DOD officials from USD(AT&L) 

and the Office of the Chief Information Officer have expressed 

the need for a focused research and development effort to 

improve automated tools for discovering vulnerabilities in 

software, and to look at opportunities to push the state-of-theart in emerging areas such as research into the use of formal 

methods. The conferees expect that this commitment will be 

reflected in the Department’s software security policy and 

future budget requests. Similarly, consistent with the 

direction in the Senate report (S. Rept. 112-173) accompanying 

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 

(S.3254), the conferees expect USD(AT&L) to make maximum use of 

software code analysis tools in development and use by NSA to 

support the acquisition of secure software. 

 

Competition in connection with Department of Defense tactical 

data link systems (sec. 934) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 926) that 

would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 

Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)): 

(1) To develop an inventory of all data links in use and in 

development in the Department of Defense; 

(2) To conduct a business case analysis of each data link 

program and make a determination whether there is adequate 

competition in development, maintenance, upgrade, and new 

procurement, and if not, whether the program should be 

opened up to competition; 

(3) For each data link program that is identified for 

increased competition, to develop a plan that addresses how 

any policy, legal, programmatic, or technical barriers to 

competition will be overcome; and 

(4) For each program where competition is determined to be 

inadvisable, to prepare a justification for that 

conclusion. 

The Senate provision would also require the USD(AT&L) to 

provide a report to Congress in conjunction with the submission 

of the fiscal year 2015 budget request, and the Comptroller 

General to conduct a separate evaluation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would drop the 

requirement for a formal “business case” analysis, as well as 

the requirement for a separate evaluation by the Comptroller 

General. 

Collection and analysis of network flow data (sec. 935) 
183 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 928) that 

would allow the Department of Defense (DOD) Chief Information 

Officer (CIO), in coordination with the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Intelligence (USDI), and the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Policy to take advantage of the research and 

development activities and capabilities of the Community Data 

Center (CDC) managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency 

(DISA) to enhance DOD's capabilities to collect, analyze, and 

store so-called network flow data records. The purpose of the 

provision would be to improve DOD's capabilities to handle its 

own voluminous flow data records, and to potentially make this 

technology available for the defense of the country voluntarily 

through the Tier 1 Internet Service Providers (ISPs). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would include 

companies that are not Tier 1 Internet Service Providers but are 

managed security service providers in the requirement to 

coordinate DOD research and development activities. 

 The conferees recognize that increased and improved threat 

intelligence is a critical component for the future 

cybersecurity posture of the military. Further, the conferees 

believe that the DOD should do more to broaden the types and 

sources of cyber threat intelligence data to support the common 

operational picture, including data from host-based security 

systems, network flow data, and network hunting information. 

 Additionally, the conferees believe that United States Cyber 

Command, along with the military services and combat support 

agencies, should do more concept development and experimentation 

with these new sources of cyber intelligence information to 

understand how to better utilize these sources in day-to-day 

operations. 

Competition for large-scale software database and data analysis 

tools (sec. 936) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 929) that 

would prohibit the use of the National Security Agency's (NSA) 

Accumulo cloud computing database by other Department of Defense 

(DOD) components after September 30, 2013, unless the Chief 

Information Officer (CIO) certifies that there are no viable 

commercial open source databases that have the security features 

of Accumulo, or that Accumulo itself has become a successful 

open source database project. The provision also would require 

that DOD and intelligence community officials coordinate fully 

on the use by DOD components of cloud computing infrastructure 

and services offered by the intelligence community for purposes 

other than intelligence analysis to ensure consistency with the 
184 

DOD information technology efficiencies initiative, data center 

and server consolidation plans, and cybersecurity plans and 

policies. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 

Senate provision: (1) to require DOD to conduct an analysis of 

large-scale software database and analysis tools, including 

technical requirements and available commercial, open source, 

and government solutions, and to report to Congress the results 

within 180 days of the enactment of this Act; and (2) to require 

competitive procedures for acquisitions of large-scale software 

database and analysis tools. In the event that a component 

decides not to use competitive procedures under the Federal 

Acquisition Regulations, the CIO and the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics would be 

required to provide notification to Congress of such decisions 

and the rationale for such decisions on a quarterly basis. This 

approval requirement would have a sunset limitation of 5 years. 

 The conferees note that the marketplace for commercial and 

commercially-supported open source “big data” analytics is 

vibrant, booming, and constantly innovating. These capabilities 

are becoming increasingly important for DOD as it strives for 

information technology efficiencies and superior performance 

across multiple mission areas and support functions. The 

conferees believe that DOD must have an especially strong reason 

for rejecting competitive acquisition approaches for such 

capabilities. 

 The conferees note that DOD has already determined that the 

Accumulo database that NSA developed using government and 

contract engineers is a successful open-source project that is 

supported by commercial companies. The conferees expect that 

future acquisitions of Accumulo would be executed through such 

commercial vendors. 

 Federal Acquisition Regulations and government policy 

favors acquisition of commercial products over governmentdeveloped solutions when such commercial products can meet the 

government’s needs. Recently, because of market trends and 

opportunities, DOD organizations are more reluctant to buy 

licensed commercial software products using traditional 

licensing models, in part due to the availability and 

attractiveness of open-source software. This trend overall is 

positive in that it puts pressure on industry to make better 

products more economically. 

 However, the conferees believe it is also possible for 

government-funded, essentially in-house development programs 

that unjustifiably compete with the private sector to spring up 

under the “open source” banner. While the conferees are fully 
185 

supportive of open-source initiatives, government-off-the-shelf 

(GOTS) programs are GOTS programs by any name, and should be 

avoided whenever and wherever there are competitive commercial 

alternatives, regardless of whether the GOTS software is 

government-owned or even “open-sourced” while it is being 

developed or after the fact. 

 

Software licenses of the Department of Defense (sec. 937) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 931) that 

would direct the Chief Information Officer of the Department of 

Defense (DOD) to conduct an inventory within 180 days of 

existing software licenses owned by DOD, including those in use 

and not in use. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

 The conferees look forward to working with the DOD to 

ensure the committees are briefed annually on progress being 

made to implement the plan. The conferees expect DOD to 

effectively and efficiently manage its resources, including the 

number of software licenses it procures, to eliminate waste and 

unnecessary duplication to the maximum extent practicable.

Sense of Congress on potential security risks to Department of 

Defense networks (sec. 938) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 934) that 

would express the sense of the Senate regarding potential risks 

to the security of Department of Defense (DOD) networks from the 

incorporation of equipment and software from foreign sources, 

and the need for DOD authority and processes to mitigate such 

risks beyond those that already exist for covered National 

Security Systems acquired by DOD. The provision would also 

acknowledge the difficulty involved in blocking sales of 

information technology systems and services due to concerns 

about cybersecurity while maintaining our commitment to free 

trade and fair and transparent competition. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 

provision from a sense of the Senate to a sense of the Congress, 

and to drop the “Findings” section. 

 The conferees are aware that cybersecurity threats are 

pervasive and serious, including through the supply chain of 

information technology equipment and software. Semiconductor 

manufacturing is already dominated by foreign producers, 

presenting supply chain risk management challenges. In a number 

of instances, foreign manufacturers of telecommunications 
186 

equipment, including advanced wireless technology, are gaining 

global market share due to high quality and low prices. 

Competitive market forces ensure that commercial providers of 

consumer, business, and government systems and services will 

choose equipment and associated software from these 

manufacturers. In some cases, like Huawei Industries and ZTE 

Corporation, this competitive position stems in part from 

inappropriate government subsidies and other forms of 

assistance. 

The conferees are concerned that some of these companies 

also present clear cybersecurity supply chain risks that the 

U.S. Government must address. For instance, the conferees are 

aware that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United 

States has blocked the attempt by Huawei to acquire United 

States technology firms on two occasions and the National 

Security Agency and the Secretary of Commerce have advised two 

major United States telecommunications carriers against 

selecting Huawei as a supplier. Such supply chain threats 

require increased attention, as well as additional and varied 

tools for dealing with such supply chain challenges. For that 

reason, the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) provided authority and 

mechanisms for the Secretary of Defense to control these supply 

chain risks. That legislation only addressed National Security 

Systems, leaving many information technology systems and 

missions exposed to these kinds of supply chain risks. The 

conferees recognize that blocking sales from providers of 

information technology systems and services due to concerns 

about cybersecurity risks, while maintaining our commitment to 

free trade and fair and transparent competition, poses difficult 

policy challenges.

Quarterly cyber operations briefings (sec. 939) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 942) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to provide a quarterly briefing 

to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 

of Representatives on significant military cyberspace operations 

that were carried out by the Department of Defense in the 

preceding quarter. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Sense of Congress on the United States Cyber Command (sec. 940) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 935) that 

includes a number of findings and would express the sense of 
187 

Congress and the Secretary of Defense should brief and consult 

with Congress before any decision is made to recommend to the 

President to elevate United States Cyber Command from a subunified command to a unified command. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would express the 

sense of Congress the Secretary of Defense should brief and 

consult with Congress when the Secretary makes any such proposal 

to the President. The amendment also would drop the findings 

section from the provision. 

Reports to Department of Defense on penetrations of networks and 

information systems of certain contractors (sec. 941) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 936) that 

would require: (1) the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Intelligence (USDI) to establish a process and criteria for 

designating what companies among those that conduct classified 

activities with the Department of Defense (DOD), and which of 

their networks and information systems, must report cyber 

intrusions to DOD; (2) designating companies to report cyber 

intrusions of these networks and information systems, including 

a description of the penetration technique, and a sample of the 

malicious software, if available; and (3) designating companies, 

upon the request of DOD, to provide access by DOD to those 

networks and information systems, so that DOD can study the 

penetration and ascertain what DOD information might have been 

stolen. 

 The provision would also require the USDI to establish this 

reporting process in coordination with the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Policy, the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, the DOD Chief 

Information Officer, and the Commander of U.S. Cyber Command. 

 Finally, the provision would prohibit dissemination outside 

of DOD of information obtained or derived through the process 

that is not created by or for DOD without the approval of the 

contractor. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) place 

the Secretary of Defense in charge of creating the breach 

reporting process; (2) require that the Secretary of Defense 

designate a senior official to establish criteria for 

designating which contractors and which networks and information 

systems that process or contain information created by or for 

DOD that is subject to enhanced protection would be subject to 

the reporting requirement; (3) add to the reporting requirement 

a summary of information that has been potentially compromised; 
188 

(4) establish procedures to allow access by DOD personnel for 

forensic analysis that are limited to determining whether DOD 

information was successfully exfiltrated and provide for 

reasonable protection of trade secrets, commercial or financial 

information, and information that can be used to identify a 

specific person; and (5) limit the application of this section 

until the date on which the Secretary establishes the procedures 

and criteria required by this legislation. The amendment also 

would provide technical changes to the definition of cleared 

defense contractors. 

 The conferees emphasize that the procedures developed 

pursuant to this provision, in general, should exclude access to 

information that is not essential to understanding and 

preventing penetrations potentially resulting in the loss of DOD 

information and should protect the privacy of private-sector 

communications. 

The conferees are aware that DOD is working on a Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR) rulemaking that would 

mandate cyber breach reporting from a potential pool of 

contractors much wider than the cleared defense contractors 

designated in this provision, as well as standards for the 

protection of DOD information across the entire defense 

industrial base (DIB). The conferees note that this provision 

is intended to be compatible with, and provide support for, that 

eventual DFAR rule. As such, the conferees also expect DOD to 

consult with industry as it develops the reporting process 

pursuant to this provision. 

 The conferees also encourage DOD to build on the existing 

voluntary DIB information sharing program, where practical and 

sensible to do so, including such areas as the definition of 

reportable events, and the forensics damage assessment process 

allowing contractors to remove proprietary or other types of 

information before DOD forensics teams copy information or 

“image” systems. 

 The conferees recognize that as the lead federal agency 

designated by the President for coordinating with the DIB, DOD 

has a critical role in supporting cyber security matters 

involving the DIB. To fulfill DOD’s obligations as the sectorspecific agency for the national DIB critical infrastructure 

sector, as outlined in DOD Directive 3020.40 “DOD Policy and 

Responsibilities for Critical Infrastructure,” DOD must work 

cooperatively with industry to create a successful publicprivate partnership that can provide timely and effective 

defenses for the nation’s cyber infrastructure. The conferees 

also emphasize that this provision is not intended to apply to 

telecommunications and Internet service provider networks that 

merely transmit DOD information between DIB companies, within 
189 

DIB companies, between DOD elements, or to and from DOD, unless 

such services are provided under requirements for the enhanced 

protection of DOD information. 

Subtitle E-Other Matters

Advice on military requirements by Chairman of Joint Chiefs of 

Staff and Joint Requirements Oversight Council (sec. 951) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 951) that would 

amend section 153 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify 

the role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the 

Joint Requirements Oversight Council in identifying, assessing, 

and approving military requirements and related functions. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Enhancement of responsibilities of the Chairman of the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff regarding the national military strategy (sec. 

952) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1041) that 

would consolidate and clarify the requirements for the Chairman 

of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s submission or update, if any, of 

the National Military Strategy, and the annual submission of the 

Chairman’s Risk Assessment. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments. 

One-year extension of authority to waive reimbursement of costs 

of activities for nongovernmental personnel at Department of 

Defense regional centers for security studies (sec. 953) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 954) that would 

extend for 1 year the current authority under section 941(b) of 

the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), as amended by section 941 of the 

Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 

2011 (Public Law 111-383), for the five Regional Centers for 

Security Studies of the Department of Defense to waive the 

reimbursement costs required under section 184(f) of title 10, 

United States Code, for personnel of nongovernmental 

organizations and international organizations to participate in 

activities of the centers. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delete the 

requirement for the Comptroller General of the United States to 
190 

assess the effectiveness of the Regional Centers for Security 

Studies. 

The conferees remain concerned about the activities of five 

Regional Centers for Security Studies of the Department of 

Defense, particularly as they relate to their support to the 

geographic combatant commanders. Therefore, the conferees 

direct the Comptroller General of the United States to assess: 

(1) the effectiveness of the Regional Centers for Security 

Studies in meeting the centers' objectives and advancing the 

priorities of the Department of Defense; (2) the extent to which 

the centers perform a unique function within the interagency 

community; (3) measures of effectiveness and impact indicators 

each center uses to internally evaluate its programs; (4) 

oversight mechanisms within the Department of Defense; (5) the 

depth and extent of support the centers provide to the 

geographic combatant commanders; (6) whether the centers’ 

activities are duplicated by other entities in the Department of 

Defense or United States Government; (7) the benefits, if any, 

of waiving reimbursement costs for personnel of nongovernmental 

organizations and international organizations to participate in 

activities of the centers on an ongoing basis; and (8) other 

matters the Comptroller General may deem appropriate. The 

Comptroller General would be required to submit a report of such 

assessment by June 30, 2013, to the Committees on Armed Services 

of the Senate and House of Representatives. 

National Language Service Corps (sec. 954) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 955) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to establish and maintain 

within the Department of Defense a National Language Service 

Corps. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

941). 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 

authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish and maintain 

within the Department of Defense a National Language Service 

Corps. 

Savings to be achieved in civilian personnel workforce and 

service contractor workforce of the Department of Defense (sec. 

955) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 341) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and begin 

implementation of a plan to achieve savings in funding for the 

civilian workforce and the service contractor workforce of the 
191 

Department of Defense (DOD) from fiscal year 2012 through fiscal 

year 2017 that are not less, as a percentage of such funding, 

than the savings in funding for military personnel achieved by 

the planned reduction in military end strength contained in the 

budget request for fiscal year 2013. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require DOD 

to achieve savings in the total funding for each covered 

workforce from fiscal year 2012 through fiscal year 2017 that 

are not less, as a percentage of such funding, than the savings 

in funding for basic military personnel pay achieved from 

reductions in military end strengths over the same period of 

time. The conferees understand that current DOD plans call for 

a 5 percent reduction in military end strength through fiscal 

year 2017. 

The conference amendment would also: (1) require the 

Secretary to ensure that the efficiencies plan is developed in a 

manner that is consistent with statutory force planning 

requirements and ensures that the DOD civilian and contract 

services workforces are appropriately sized to support defense 

needs; (2) require the Secretary to consider statutorily 

required workload analyses and risk assessments in determining 

core or critical functions to be excluded from the savings 

requirements; and (3) require the Government Accountability 

Office to report on the extent to which savings are being 

achieved and the provision is being implemented in a manner 

consistent with statutory sourcing and workforce management 

requirements. 

Expansion of persons eligible for expedited Federal hiring 

following completion of National Security Education Program 

scholarship (sec. 956) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 952) that would 

amend section 1902(k) of title 50, United States Code, to 

authorize the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland 

Security, the Secretary of State, or the head of a federal 

agency or office identified by the Secretary of Defense as 

having national security responsibilities to appoint to 

positions in the excepted service eligible individuals who have 

successfully completed the requirements of the National Security 

Education Program. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 

the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, 

the Secretary of State, or the head of a federal agency or 

office identified by the Secretary of Defense as having national 
192 

security responsibilities to appoint to positions in the 

excepted service eligible individuals who have successfully 

completed the requirements of the National Security Education 

Program, provided they have not received such an appointment 

previously. 

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Redesignation of the Department of the Navy as the Department of 

the Navy and Marine Corps 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 905) that would 

redesignate the Department of the Navy as the Department of the 

Navy and the Marine Corps and redesignate the position of the 

Secretary of the Navy as the Secretary of the Navy and Marine 

Corps. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Department of Defense representation in dispute resolution 

regarding surrender of Department of Defense bands of 

electromagnetic frequencies 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 914) that 

would amend section 1062(b)(1) of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Public Law 106-65, 47 

U.S.C. 921 note) to require that the Department of Defense (DOD) 

be adequately represented in the inter-agency spectrum 

reallocation process. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees recognize the criticality of the radio 

frequency spectrum to national economic growth and our national 

security capabilities. As the importance of spectrum to the 

national economy increases, it is essential that the needs and 

concerns of the DOD be adequately considered during 

reallocation, sharing, or auction of spectrum impacting national 

security capabilities. 

The conferees are concerned that by not including specific 

national security representation, the Technical Panel and the 

Dispute Resolutions Board, established under section 6701 of The 

Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-96), may 

make decisions that could result in arbitrary determinations 

regarding the "sufficiency" of spectrum reallocation or sharing 

transition plans addressing national security capabilities and 

any dispute that may arise thereafter, without adequate input 

from the DOD. To ensure these equities are considered, the 
193 

conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to determine whether 

the needs and concerns of the DOD have been adequately 

considered and addressed during the processes of identifying 

frequencies to be surrendered and transition planning, including 

review of transition plans by the Technical Panel and any 

dispute resolution by the Dispute Resolution Board, impacting 

national security capabilities. 

Further, the conferees expect the National 

Telecommunications and Information Administration ensure that 

the rules and procedures implementing the Technical Panel and 

Dispute Resolution Board as required by Public Law 112-96 

incorporate methods that enable the Secretary of Defense to make 

the necessary determination on the needs and concerns of the DOD 

with respect to consideration of transition plans impacting 

national security capabilities. 

Integration of critical signals intelligence capabilities 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 927) that 

would require the Director of the Intelligence, Surveillance, 

and Reconnaissance (ISR) Task Force to develop a plan to 

integrate multiple technical signals intelligence (SIGINT) 

capabilities together to satisfy requirements to detect, 

identify, track, and precisely locate communications equipment 

from airborne platforms. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Limitation on certain funding until certification that inventory 

of contracts for services has begun 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 931) that would 

fence certain funds until the Department of Defense is in full 

compliance with the requirements of section 2330a of title 10, 

United States Code, to develop an inventory of contract 

services. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees remain convinced that the required inventory 

is an important tool to provide transparency in government 

contracting and to assist decision-makers in planning, 

programming, and budgeting defense funds. The conferees are 

disappointed with the long delays in the Department’s 

implementation of the inventory required by section 2330a. The 

conferees note that the Department has recently developed a plan 

to comply with the requirements of section 2330a and expect the 

Department to implement this plan in a timely manner. 
194 

Requirement to ensure sufficient levels of government 

management, control, and oversight of functions closely 

associated with inherently governmental functions 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 932) that would 

require the military departments to ensure that their staffing 

levels are sufficient to provide appropriate management, 

control, and oversight of functions closely associated with 

inherently governmental functions. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that section 129a(f)(3) of title 10, 

United States Code, already requires the Secretary of Defense to 

ensure that the Department of Defense maintains sufficient 

capabilities within the Department to manage, control, and 

oversee functions performed by contractors. The conferees 

expect the Department to comply with these requirements. 

Special management attention required for certain functions 

identified in inventory of contracts for services 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 933) that would 

require the Department of Defense to give special management 

attention to functions identified in the inventory of contract 

services required by section 2330a of title 10, United States 

Code, as being closely associated with inherently governmental 

functions. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees expect the Department of Defense to ensure 

that the Department maintains the capabilities required by 

section 129a(f)(3) of title 10, United States Code, in 

connection with any functions closely associated with inherently 

governmental functions that are performed by contractors. 

Military activities in cyberspace 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 941) that would 

clarify that the Secretary of Defense has the authority to 

conduct clandestine cyberspace activities in support of military 

operations pursuant to a congressionally authorized use of force 

outside of the United States, or to defend against a cyber 

attack on an asset of the Department of Defense. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 
195 

Annual briefing to congressional defense committees on certain 

written policy guidance 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 953) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to brief the congressional 

defense committees annually on the defense planning guidance and 

policy guidance developed pursuant to section 113 of title 10, 

United States Code. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees agree that the Secretary of Defense, or his 

designee, should, upon request and subsequent to submission of 

the annual defense budget request, provide the congressional 

defense committees with a briefing, classified or unclassified, 

that describes the defense planning guidance as required by 

section 113(g) of title 10, United States Code, and from which 

the budget request submitted was developed. The conferees agree 

that the Secretary of Defense, when developing this briefing 

shall exclude descriptions of strategic contingency planning or 

plans. 

TITLE X–GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Subtitle A–Financial Matters

General transfer authority (sec. 1001) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that would 

provide the Department of Defense with $3.5 billion of general 

transfer authority in fiscal year 2013. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1001) that would provide the Department of Defense with $5.0 

billion general transfer authority in fiscal year 2013. 

 The House recedes with an amendment providing the 

Department of Defense with $4.0 billion of general transfer 

authority in fiscal year 2013. 

Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 1002) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1002) that would 

determine the budgetary effects of this Act. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

4). 

 The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. 

Sense of Congress on notice to Congress on unfunded priorities 
196 

(sec. 1003) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1003) that would 

require members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Commander, 

U.S. Special Operations Command, to submit to the congressional 

defense committees, within 30 days of the Department’s annual 

budget request, a report containing a list of unfunded 

priorities. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1047) that would express the sense of the Senate that the 

service chiefs and the Commander, U.S. Special Operations 

Command, should provide unfunded priorities lists to the 

congressional defense committees. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would express the 

sense of Congress. 

Authority to transfer funds to the National Nuclear Security 

Administration to sustain nuclear weapons modernization (sec. 

1004) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1002) that 

would give the Secretary of Defense transfer authority of up to 

$150.0 million to the nuclear weapons program in the National 

Nuclear Security Administration if the amount appropriated for 

that program is less than $7.9 billion – the amount specified 

for fiscal year 2013 in the report required by section 1251 of 

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 

(Public Law 111-84). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Audit readiness of Department of Defense statements of budgetary 

resources (sec. 1005) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1003) that 

would codify the goal established by the Secretary of Defense of 

validating the statement of budgetary resources of the 

Department of Defense as audit ready by the end of fiscal year 

2014, provided that the achievement of this goal is affordable, 

does not result in excessive one-time fixes and manual workarounds, and will not delay full auditability for the 

Department’s financial statements. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Report on balances carried forward by the Department of Defense 

at the end of fiscal year 2012 (sec. 1006) 
197 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1005) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Congress 

the dollar amount of obligated and unobligated balances carried 

forward by the Department of Defense at the end of fiscal year 

2012. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Report on elimination and streamlining of reporting 

requirements, thresholds, and statutory and regulatory 

requirements resulting from unqualified audit opinion of 

Department of Defense financial statements (sec. 1007) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 903) that 

would, in the event that the Department of Defense (DOD) fails 

to achieve an unqualified audit opinion by the end of fiscal 

year 2017, transfer the Defense Finance and Audit Service from 

DOD to the Department of the Treasury and establish a new Chief 

Management Officer position within DOD. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to report to Congress 

on elimination and streamlining of reporting requirements, 

thresholds, and statutory and regulatory requirements that may 

be made possible when DOD achieves an unqualified audit opinion. 

The conferees remain concerned about the ability of the DOD 

to meet the 2014 objective for the audit readiness of its 

Statement of Budget Readiness and the 2017 objective for full 

audit readiness. For example, according to the most recent 

Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness Plan Status Report 

submitted to Congress, the Air Force missed 7 out of 15 nearterm audit readiness deadlines. Concerns raised by these missed 

deadlines are exacerbated by management failures on the 

Expeditionary Combat Support System program and the recent 

decision to terminate this program. 

The conferees agree that a continued legislative focus on 

this issue is necessary to ensure that the DOD meets established 

objectives and that if DOD shows a lack of progress further 

legislation – which could include possible incentives identified 

pursuant to the report required by this section and penalties 

for failure to achieve meaningful progress – is likely to be 

required. 

Subtitle B–Counter-Drug Activities

Extension of the authority to establish and operate National 
198 

Guard counterdrug schools (sec. 1008) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that would 

authorize the Secretary of Defense to continue to operate the 

five National Guard Counterdrug Schools currently in existence 

for an additional period of 5 years. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would incorporate 

a new reporting requirement and establish an annual limitation 

on funding. 

Biannual reports on use of funds in the Drug Interdiction and 

Counter-Drug Activities, Defense-wide account (sec. 1009) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that would 

extend by 1 year the reporting requirement on expenditures to 

support foreign counter-drug activities under section 1022 of 

the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-398), as most recently amended 

by section 1008 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1014) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit on a 

quarterly basis reports to the congressional defense committees 

setting forth, by project code, a description of all 

expenditures of funds to support foreign counterdrug activities 

from the Drug Interdiction and Counterdrug Activities Defensewide account. Further, the provision would repeal section 1022 

of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-398), as most recently amended 

by section 1008 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 

requirement under the Senate amendment to require semiannual 

reports. 

Extension of authority to support unified counter-drug and 

counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1010) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1013) that would 

extend by 1 year the unified counterdrug and counterterrorism 

campaign in the Republic of Colombia under section 1021 of the 

Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2005 (Public Law 108-375), as most recently amended by 

section 1007 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1013) that 
199 

would permit, for 1 fiscal year, the Secretary of Defense to 

expend not more than $50.0 million to continue to support the 

unified counterdrug and counterterrorism campaign of the 

Government of Colombia. The provision would permit the 

Secretary to provide: (1) logistics support, services, and 

supplies; (2) the types of support authorized under section 

1004(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510), as amended; and (3) the types of 

support authorized under 1033(c) of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85), as 

amended. The provision would prohibit U.S. personnel from 

participating in any combat operation in connection with 

assistance provided under this authority. The provision would 

require the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report on 

any assistance provided pursuant to this provision to the 

congressional defense committees. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Extension of Authority for joint task forces to provide support 

to law enforcement agencies conducting counter-terrorism 

activities (sec. 1011) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1014) that would 

extend by 1 year the support for joint task forces under section 

1022(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136), as most recently amended by 

section 1004 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). 

 The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 

1011). 

The conference agreement includes this provision. 

The conferees note that the Department of Defense (DOD) is 

currently using this authority in a limited number of locations. 

While the conferees are pleased to learn of DOD's judicious use 

of this authority, the conferees also believe there are 

additional activities that could potentially be conducted in 

additional regions, particularly against illicit smuggling 

networks in Northwest Africa. 

Requirement for biennial certification on provision of support 

for counter-drug activities to certain foreign governments (sec. 

1012) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1012) that 

would amend section 1033 of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85), as most recently 

amended by section 1006 of the National Defense Authorization 
200 

Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), to require 

biennial certification following the first year certification, 

rather than annual certification for the Department of Defense 

to provide additional support for counterdrug activities to 

certain foreign governments. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Subtitle C–Naval Vessels and Shipyards

Policy relating to major combatant vessels of the strike forces 

of the United States Navy (sec. 1013) 

 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1021) that would 

amend section 1012 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110–181). Section 1012 requires 

that all combatant vessels of the strike forces of the Navy, 

including all new classes of such vessel, be designed with 

integrated nuclear power systems. The provision would amend 

section 1012 to require the Secretary of the Navy to notify the 

congressional defense committees if, after a cost benefit 

analysis, the Secretary decides it would not be practical for 

the new class of ships to be nuclear powered. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Limitation on availability of funds for delayed annual naval 

vessel construction plan (sec. 1014) 

 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1022) that would 

fence some funds available to the Secretary of the Navy until 

the annual shipbuilding plan required under section 231 of title 

10, United States Code, has been submitted to Congress. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Retirement of naval vessels (sec. 1015) 

 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1021) that 

would require the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) to produce a 

report that would set forth a comprehensive description of the 

current requirements of the Navy for combatant vessels of the 

Navy, including submarines. The provision would also require 

that, if the number of these vessels is less than 313 ships, the 

report would have to include the justification of the CNO for 

that smaller number, and an explanation of how that smaller 

number is consistent with the recently revised strategic 
201 

guidance issued by the President and the Secretary of Defense in 

2012. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Termination of a Maritime Prepositioning Ship squadron (sec. 

1016) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1022) that 

would limit funding to terminate a Maritime Prepositioning Ship 

Squadron (MPSRON) until a report is received on the impact of 

the termination. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would add to the 

report a description of any increased risk or operational plan 

impacts associated with using Norway to fulfill the MPSRON 

requirement. 

Sense of Congress on recapitalization for the Navy and Coast 

Guard (sec. 1017) 

 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1023) that 

would state that it is the sense of Congress that, among other 

things: (1) the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 

Secretary of the Navy, should maintain the recapitalization 

plans for the Navy as a priority in all future force structure 

decisions; and (2) the Secretary of Homeland Security should 

maintain the recapitalization plans for the Coast Guard as a 

priority in all future force structure decisions. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes. 

Notice to Congress for the review of proposals to name naval 

vessels (sec. 1018) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1024) that 

would identify appropriate and necessary standards for the 

naming of vessels of the Navy, and would amend section 7292 of 

title 10, United States Code, by adding a new subsection that 

would prevent the Secretary of the Navy from announcing or 

implementing any proposal to name a vessel of the Navy until 30 

days after the date on which the Secretary submits to the 

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives a report that justifies how such a naming 

proposal follows the appropriate and necessary standards for the 

naming of vessels of the Navy set forth in this Act. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 
202 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees agree that: (1) the ship naming process must 

not be politicized; (2) setting forth objective criteria can 

help in this goal; and (3) establishing a notify-and-wait period 

will aid the Armed Service Committees’ oversight of the process. 

Subtitle D–Counterterrorism

Extension of authority to make rewards for combating terrorism 

(sec. 1021) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1034) that would 

extend the section 127(b) of title 10, United States Code, which 

allows the Secretary of Defense to offer and make rewards to a 

person providing information or nonlethal assistance to U.S. 

Government personnel or government personnel of Allied Forces 

participating in a combined operation with U.S. Armed Forces 

through fiscal year 2014 and require a report that outlines 

future requirements of the authority. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Department has used this 

authority in Afghanistan, but not in other ongoing contingency 

operations such as Operation Observant Compass, the U.S. 

military’s operation to advise and assist the Ugandan People’s 

Defense Force (UDPF) and other regional militaries in their 

ongoing efforts to apprehend or remove Joseph Kony and his top 

lieutenants from the battlefield. Enhancing U.S. Africa 

Command’s (AFRICOM) effectiveness in helping regional partners 

end one of the most enduring and destructive scourges on the 

continent would go a great distance in convincing the people and 

governments of Africa that the United States can offer a sincere 

and valuable contribution to the continent’s security. The 

conferees believe that U.S. forces have not made effective use 

of the Department of Defense’s (DOD) counterterrorism rewards 

program, despite Joseph Kony’s designation as a Specially 

Designated Global Terrorist in 2008. This authority allows 

deployed forces to incentivize the local populace to provide 

information in support of operations conducted against 

international terrorism and to improve force protection. The 

conferees believe delegating appropriate approvals for the use 

of this authority to forces on the ground and targeting outreach 

efforts at defecting LRA members would enhance the use and 

effectiveness of this authority. 

Prohibition on use of funds to construct or modify facilities in 

the United States to house detainees transferred from United 
203 

States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (sec. 1022) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1038) that would 

prohibit the use of fiscal year 2013 Department of Defense (DOD) 

funds or funds otherwise made available to the DOD to construct 

or modify any facility in the United States to house Guantanamo 

detainees. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1031(a)) 

that would extend through fiscal year 2013 the prohibition under 

section 1026 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1566) on the 

construction or modification of facilities in the United States 

to house Guantanamo detainees. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the language of the House provision 

and the conference agreement is identical to that contained in 

section 1026 of Public Law 112-81 except that the prohibition is 

extended from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013. 

Report on recidivism of individuals detained at United States 

Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who have been transferred 

to foreign countries (sec. 1023) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1039) that would 

require two reports relating to transfers of individuals 

detained at the U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The 

first report would require the Director of the Defense 

Intelligence Agency (DIA), in consultation with the heads of the 

other elements of the intelligence community, as appropriate, to 

assess the factors causing or contributing to the recidivism of 

Guantanamo detainees that are released or transferred. The 

second report would require the Secretary of State to assess the 

effectiveness of the agreements with other countries relating to 

the transfer or release of Guantanamo detainees. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would consolidate 

the two reports into one report submitted by the DIA Director, 

in consultation with the heads of each of the other elements of 

the intelligence community. 

Notice and report on use of naval vessels for detention of 

individuals captured outside Afghanistan pursuant to the 

Authorization for Use of Military Force (sec. 1024) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1040) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to submit a notification to the 

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
204 

Representatives not later than 5 days after detaining an 

individual on a naval vessel outside the United States pursuant 

to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-

40). The House provision would also require the Secretary to 

submit to those Committees a detailed report on the use of naval 

vessels for detention purposes. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 

period for submitting the notification of detention from not 

later than 5 days to not later than 30 days after the individual 

is first detained. The amendment would also require that if the 

detained individual is transferred or released before the notice 

of the individual’s detention is submitted, the Secretary must 

submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 

House of Representatives notice of the transfer or release. The 

amendment would retain the reporting requirement in the House 

bill on the use of naval vessels for detention purposes. 

Notice required prior to transfer of certain individuals 

detained at the Detention Facility at Parwan, Afghanistan (sec. 

1025) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1041) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to notify the Committees on 

Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 

the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the 

Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, 

not later than 10 days prior to the transfer of any third 

country national detainee held at the Detention Facility at 

Parwan, Afghanistan, to the custody of the Government of 

Afghanistan or any other country. As part of the notification 

required by this provision, the Secretary of Defense would be 

required to provide certain assessments and certifications. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to ensure that the specified assessments 

are conducted prior to the transfer of any third country 

national subject to this provision, but would eliminate the 

requirement that the assessments or certifications relating to 

those assessments be submitted to Congress as part of the 

transfer notification. 

Report on recidivism of individuals formerly detained at the 

Detention Facility at Parwan, Afghanistan (sec. 1026) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1042) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on 
205 

Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 

the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the 

Committee of Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives a 

report relating to the recidivism of individuals formerly 

detained at the detention facility at Parwan, Afghanistan. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Prohibition on the use of funds for the transfer or release of 

individuals detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo 

Bay, Cuba (sec. 1027) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1036) that would 

prohibit the use of Department of Defense (DOD) funds for fiscal 

year 2013 to transfer or release detainees at U.S. Naval 

Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to or within the United States, 

its territories, or possessions. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1032) that 

would establish a permanent prohibition on the use of any 

appropriated funds to transfer or release Guantanamo detainees 

to or within the United States, its territories, or possessions. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Requirements for certifications relating to the transfer of 

detainees at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 

to foreign countries and other foreign entities (sec. 1028) 

 The House bill contained two provisions (sec. 1037 and sec. 

1043) that would extend for 1 year the certification 

requirements applicable to the transfer or release of detainees 

at the United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and 

revise those requirements. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1031(b)) 

that would extend the certification requirements for 1 year 

without change. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 

certification requirement for 1 year and modify the requirement 

in two ways. 

 First, the amendment would provide that in assessing the 

risk that a detainee will engage in terrorist activity if 

released, as required by the certification requirements or the 

national security waiver with regard to certain certification 

requirements, the Secretary of Defense may give favorable 

consideration to any detainee who has cooperated with U.S. 

intelligence and law enforcement authorities pursuant to a pretrial agreement while in Department of Defense custody, and for 

whom appropriate agreements and mechanisms are in place to 
206 

provide for continued cooperation with U.S. intelligence and law 

enforcement authorities following transfer. 

 Second, the amendment would add that, if the Secretary of 

Defense invokes the national security waiver, the Secretary must 

also provide as part of the report accompanying the waiver 

classified information on the detainee’s record of cooperation 

with the Department while in DOD custody and any agreements in 

place to provide for the detainee’s continuing cooperation after 

transfer. 

Rights Unaffected (sec. 1029) 

 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1033) that would 

state that nothing in the Authorization for Use of Military 

Force (Public Law 107-40) (AUMF) or the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) (FY 

2012 NDAA) shall be construed to deny the availability of the 

writ of habeas corpus or to deny any Constitutional rights in an 

Article III court for any person who is lawfully in the United 

States when detained and who is otherwise entitled to the 

availability of such writ or such rights. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1033) that 

would state that an authorization for the use of military force 

shall not authorize the detention without charge or trial of a 

citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States 

apprehended in the United States, unless an Act of Congress 

expressly authorizes such detention. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would state that 

nothing in the AUMF or the FY 2012 NDAA shall be construed to 

deny the availability of the writ of habeas corpus or to deny 

any Constitutional rights in a court ordained or established by 

or under Article III of the Constitution to any person inside 

the United States who would be entitled to the availability of 

such writ or to such rights in the absence of such laws. 

 The conferees note that Under Article 1, section 9 of the 

Constitution, habeas corpus rights “shall not be suspended, 

unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety 

may require it.” The Supreme Court has stated that Congress may 

not be presumed to have limited habeas corpus rights absent “an 

unmistakably clear statement” to that effect. (Hamdan v. 

Rumsfeld, 548 U.S. 557, 575 (2006); Boumedienne v. Bush, 553 

U.S. 723, 738 (2008)). 

 The conferees note that no provision of the AUMF or the FY 

2012 NDAA addresses the availability of the writ of habeas 

corpus. On the contrary, section 1021(e) of the FY 2012 NDAA 

expressly states: “Nothing in this section shall be construed 

to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention 
207 

of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United 

States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the 

United States.” Further, the conferees acknowledge that 

constitutional rights may not be restricted or denied by 

statute. Consequently, nothing in the AUMF or the FY 2012 NDAA 

restricts or denies existing habeas corpus rights or any other 

existing constitutional rights.

Subtitle E–Nuclear Forces

Nuclear weapons employment strategy of the United States (sec. 

1031) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that would 

require annual briefings to the congressional defense 

committees, specifically the Chairmen and Ranking Members and 

such professional staff as they designate, on the nuclear 

weapons employment strategy, plans and options of the United 

States. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 

notification to the congressional defense committees when there 

is an anomaly of the nuclear command, control and communications 

system that rises to the level of notification to Secretary of 

Defense or the Nuclear Weapons Council. This requirement is 

intended to involve those anomalies that are beyond the de 

minimis issues. 

Progress of modernization (sec. 1032) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1054) that would 

prohibit the expenditure of any funds made available for fiscal 

year 2013 or any fiscal year thereafter to implement a new 

nuclear weapons employment strategy until a period of 1 year 

after a report detailing such strategy has been submitted to 

Congress. The section would also provide that for fiscal years 

2013 through 2021, no funds made available for each such fiscal 

year may be used to carry out the decisions of the 2010 Nuclear 

Posture Review Implementation study that would alter the nuclear 

weapons employment strategy, guidance, plans or options of the 

United States until the President certifies that the resources 

projected in the February 2011 update to the report required 

under section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) have been requested from 

the Congress, have been provided in appropriations acts passed 

by the Congress and signed by the President, and the 

sequestration mechanism of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
208 

Deficit Control Act of 1985, (Public Law 99-177), have been 

repealed or otherwise terminated. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 

notice 60 days before the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review 

Implementation Study from the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review is 

issued or implemented, and that the President shall transmit to 

congressional defense committees a report providing the high, 

medium and low confidence assessments of intelligence community 

as to whether the United States will have significant warning of 

a strategic surprise or breakout caused by foreign nuclear 

weapons development. 

Report in the event of insufficient funding for modernization of 

nuclear weapons stockpile (sec. 1033) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1053) that would 

amend section 1045(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act 

for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to require a report in 

any year in which funding is appropriated for nuclear 

modernization activities that is less than projected in the 

November 2010 update of the plan referred to in section 1251 of 

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 

(Public Law 111-84) within 60 days of the determination of 

insufficient funding. The section would prohibit the reduction 

of U.S. deployed nuclear warheads until the President certifies 

that the resource shortfall identified in the report has been 

addressed and 120 days have elapsed following such 

certification. The limitation on reductions would not apply 

regarding reductions made to ensure the safety, security, 

reliability and credibility of the U.S. nuclear weapons 

stockpile and delivery systems. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 

notification to the appropriate congressional committees 60 days 

before a reduction in the number of deployed nuclear warheads. 

Prevention of asymmetry of nuclear weapon stockpile reductions 

(sec. 1034) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1056) that would 

require the President to certify whether reductions in the U.S. 

nuclear weapons stockpile would result in the stockpile being 

smaller than that of the Russian Federation. The section would 

provide that if the President certifies that the U.S. nuclear 

weapons stockpile is smaller than the Russian stockpile, he may 

not make any reductions to the U.S. stockpile until the 
209 

Commander of U.S. Strategic Command reports on a potential 

strategic imbalance created by the reductions and a period of 

180 days has elapsed following the submission of the report to 

the congressional defense committees. The section would except 

from the limitation reductions made to ensure the safety, 

security, reliability, and credibility of the nuclear weapons 

stockpile. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace the 

limitation on reductions with a report by the Commander of the 

U.S. Strategic Command, transmitted by the President 60 days 

before the reduction, covering whether it would create a 

strategic inbalance or degrade deterrence and extended 

deterrence between the total number of the nuclear weapons of 

the United States and the total number of the Russian 

Federation. 

Strategic delivery systems (sec. 1035) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1071) that 

would require the President to certify to the congressional 

defense committees whether plans to modernize strategic delivery 

systems are funded at a level equal to or more than that 

outlined in the November 2010 update to the plan found in 

section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84). If the level of funding 

is less than that referred to in the November 2010 update, then 

the President must submit as part of the reporting requirements 

under section 1043 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), his assessment of whether 

a lack of full funding will result in a loss of military 

capability. If the President determines that the lack of full 

funding will result in a loss of military capability, he must 

submit with the section 1043 report a plan to preserve or retain 

the capability that would be lost, and a report that assesses 

the impact of the lack of full funding and a description of the 

funding required to restore the capability. 

 The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1055) 

that would require the President to certify annually whether 

plans to modernize or replace strategic delivery systems are 

fully resourced and being executed at a level equal to or more 

than the levels set forth in the November 2010 update to the 

plan referred to in section 1251 of Public Law 111-84. The 

section would further prohibit the use of funds to reduce, 

convert, or eliminate strategic delivery systems as a result of 

the New START treaty or otherwise unless the President is able 

to issue the required certification. 
210 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

President to certify annually to the congressional defense 

committees whether plans to replace or modernize strategic 

delivery systems are funded at levels equal that under the 

November 2010 update to section 1251 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84). If 

before fiscal year 2020, the President reports that the plan to 

modernize the strategic delivery systems is not fully funded 

according to the November 2010 update, the President shall 

include with the report to Congress under section 1043 of Public 

Law 112-81 a determination whether the lack of funding will 

result in a loss of military capability as compared to the 

November 2010 update. If the determination is made that a lack 

of full funding will result in a loss of military capability, 

the President shall include with the report under section 1043 

of Public Law 112-81, a plan to preserve the military capability 

that would be lost, an assessment of the impact of the lack of 

full funding on the strategic delivery systems, and a 

description of the funding required to restore military 

capability. The President must certify a commitment to 

accomplishing the modernization and replacement of strategic 

delivery systems and the political obligations concerning 

nuclear modernization as set forth in declaration 12 of the 

Resolution of Advice and Consent to Ratification of the New 

START treaty. 

 The amendment also requires that the President make the 

certification regarding full funding for the strategic delivery 

systems under the November 2010 update to the section 1251 plan 

not less than 60 days before the date on which the President 

carries out any proposed reduction to the strategic delivery 

systems along with any additional reporting matters described in 

this section. In addition, the President must certify to the 

congressional defense committees that the Russian Federation is 

in compliance with its arms control obligations with the United 

States. 

Consideration of expansion of nuclear forces of other countries 

(sec. 1036) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1057) that would 

require that in any year in which the President recommends 

reductions in the nuclear forces of the United States that no 

funds made available for fiscal year 2012 or any fiscal year 

thereafter may be used for such reduction until the President 

transmits to the appropriate congressional committees a report 

regarding foreign nuclear weapons programs and a certification 

by the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command as to whether the 
211 

recommended reductions in U.S. nuclear forces could have 

specific implications for U.S. national security. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that requires the 

President to transmit a report to Congress 60 days before any 

such reduction with a high, medium and low confidence 

intelligence community assessment regarding a country’s number 

and type of nuclear weapons, its modernization plans, warhead 

and strategic delivery vehicle production capacity, nuclear 

doctrine and the impact of the reductions on deterrence and 

extended deterrence of the United States. In addition, the 

Commander of the United States Strategic Command shall certify 

to congressional defense committees whether such reductions 

impair the ability of the United States to respond to unplanned 

strategic or geopolitical events, technical challenges or 

whether such reductions degrade United States deterrence or the 

extended deterrence it provides to its friends and allies. With 

regard to extended deterrence, the conferees expect the 

Commander will consult with the Secretary of State. 

Nonstrategic nuclear weapon reductions and extended deterrence 

policy (sec. 1037) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060) that would 

state the policy of the United States regarding nonstrategic 

nuclear weapons reductions as well as the United States policy 

on the extended deterrence commitment to Europe. The section 

would also limit any funds made available for fiscal year 2013 

or any fiscal year thereafter to reduce, consolidate or withdraw 

U.S. nuclear weapons that are based in Europe until certain 

specific conditions are met, as established by a certification 

from the President submitted to the appropriate congressional 

committees, and a period of 180 days has elapsed. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 

notification to the congressional defense committees 60 days 

before the reduction, consolidation, or withdrawal of nuclear 

forces based in Europe. 

Unilateral change in nuclear weapons stockpile of the United 

States (sec. 1038) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1065B) that 

would prohibit the President from retiring, dismantling, or 

eliminating any nuclear weapon if the action results in a level 

lower than that described by the New Strategic Arms Reduction 

Treaty. 
212 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

President, prior to considering a change to the size of the 

total stockpile of deployed and non-deployed hedge weapons by 

more than 25 percent, other than through a treaty even if over 

several years, to submit to the congressional defense committees 

the terms of reference of a nuclear posture review. The 25 

percent change would include either a reduction or an increase 

in nuclear stockpile size. 

 Under the provision, the President would be allowed to 

change the nuclear stockpile by more than 25 percent upon 

completing the nuclear posture review and submitting it to the 

congressional defense committees. 

 This provision would not apply to changes in the nuclear 

weapons stockpile resulting from treaty obligations, but would 

apply to any other changes. This provision would be a recurring 

requirement. 

 The Nuclear Posture Review would be submitted in an 

unclassified form but may include a classified annex. 

Expansion of duties and responsibilities of the Nuclear Weapons 

Council (sec. 1039) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1061) that would 

amend section 179 of title 10, United States Code, (10 U.S.C. 

179) authorizing the Nuclear Weapons Council (NWC) to require 

circulation of materials to the Chairman of the NWC not later 

than 7 days before a Council meeting and to coordinate and 

approve the annual budget proposals of the National Nuclear 

Security Administration (NNSA). 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

902) that would amend the statute authorizing the NWC (10 U.S.C. 

179) to require that concurrent with the President's budget 

submission, that the Council certify in writing that the budget 

for the NNSA meets both the nuclear stockpile and the stockpile 

stewardship requirements as well as provide programmatic 

oversight of the nuclear command and control system. The 

provision also requires the Council to notify the congressional 

defense committees on the impacts of any authorization or 

appropriation bill adopted by either the Senate or the House of 

Representatives that in the view of the Council fails to 

adequately fund the nuclear stockpile and nuclear stockpile 

stewardship requirements. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 

certification by the NWC of the NNSA budget with dissenting 

opinions at the time of budget submission to the Congress, 

provide oversight of the nuclear command and control system and 
213 

provide that the NWC notify the congressional defense committees 

on the impacts of any authorization or appropriation bill 

adopted by either the Senate or House that fails to fund the 

nuclear stockpile stewardship requirements. 

The conferees understand there will be circumstances which 

could preclude meeting the 7-day advance document requirement 

before a meeting of the NWC. The conferees intend the 7-day 

requirement apply to the extent possible. 

The conferees expect that the NWC not only certify (as 

required by statute) the NNSA budget as it is submitted to the 

Congress but that the NWC also take an active role in shaping 

and reviewing the NNSA budget as it is prepared for submission 

to Congress and negotiated with the Office of Management and 

Budget during the budget review process. 

Interagency Council on the Strategic Capability of the National 

Laboratories (sec. 1040) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1062) that would 

establish an Interagency Council on the Strategic Capability of 

the National Laboratories. The membership of the Council would 

include the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Energy, the 

Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National 

Intelligence, the Administrator for Nuclear Security, and other 

officials as designated by the President. The Council would be 

responsible for a variety of matters related to identifying, 

assessing, and ensuring adequate support for strategic 

capabilities at the national laboratories that could be used by 

the participating agencies to accomplish national security 

missions. This section would also require each member of the 

Council to create streamlined consideration and approval 

processes for their agency to procure the services of the 

national laboratories on appropriate matters. Finally, this 

provision would require the Council to submit a report to 

appropriate congressional committees on the functions and 

effectiveness of the Council. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add a 

requirement that the Council, in its report to Congress, assess 

the strategic capabilities and core competencies of laboratories 

and engineering centers operated by the Department of Defense, 

including mission areas and functions that should be carried out 

by these laboratories and engineering centers. 

Cost estimates for nuclear weapons (sec. 1041) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1065A) that 
214 

would amend section 1043 of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) and would require 

cost estimates for sustaining and modernizing the U.S. nuclear 

deterrent and the nuclear stockpile over the 10 year period 

including training, basing, security, testing, research, 

development, deployment, transportation, personnel, overhead, 

and other appropriate matters as well as budget estimates listed 

by location for the Department of Defense. The Comptroller 

General would be required to review the cost estimates prepared 

by the Department of Defense within 180 days. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1073) that would require the Congressional Budget Office to 

obtain a 10 year cost estimate of nuclear weapons enterprise in 

the Departments of Defense and Energy. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 

section 1043 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) and require cost estimates 

for sustaining and modernizing the U.S. nuclear deterrent and 

the nuclear stockpile over the 10 year period including for 

procurement, military construction, operation and maintenance, 

research, development, test, and evaluation for the Department 

of Defense, with a review of the costs by the Comptroller 

General. The amendment would also require a 10 year cost 

estimate by the Congressional Budget Office of the nuclear 

enterprise in the Departments of Defense and Energy. 

Prior notification with regard to retirement of strategic 

delivery systems (sec. 1042) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1065C) that 

would limit any funds authorized to be appropriated for fiscal 

year 2013 or any fiscal year thereafter for the Department of 

Defense to reduce, convert, or decommission any strategic 

delivery system pursuant to the levels set forth under the New 

START Treaty unless the President certifies to Congress that the 

Russian Federation makes a commensurate reduction, conversion or 

decommissioning under the Treaty and that the Russian Federation 

is not developing or deploying a strategic delivery system that 

is not covered under the treaty limits and capable of reaching 

the United States. The provision limits any funds authorized to 

be appropriated for fiscal year 2013 or any fiscal year 

thereafter if such funds would eliminate a leg of the nuclear 

triad. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

President submit the report required under section 1042(a) of 

the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2012 
215 

(Public Law 112-81), 60 days before any such reduction, 

conversion or decommissioning of any strategic delivery systems 

under the New START Treaty. 

Report on nuclear warheads on intercontinental ballistic 

missiles of the United States (sec. 1043) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1059) that would 

prohibit reductions in the number of warheads loaded on U.S. 

intercontinental ballistic missiles unless the President 

certifies that the Russian Federation and the People's Republic 

of China are carrying out similar reductions with an exception 

for reductions made to ensure the safety, security, reliability 

and credibility of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile and 

delivery systems 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 

report on the requirements necessary to ensure the United States 

retains the ability to upload multiple warheads on 

intercontinental ballistic missiles if circumstances dictate 

that such actions are needed. 

Requirements for combined or interoperable warhead for certain 

missile systems (sec. 1044) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1072) that 

would require the Nuclear Weapons Council to provide Congress 

with the definition of a combined warhead so that the 6.1 and 

6.2 process will have clarity in the out-years. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretaries of the Navy and Air Force to submit to the Nuclear 

Weapons Council their plans and views with respect to a combined 

or interoperable warhead for the W78 Minuteman III missile 

system and the W88 Trident II system. The amendment would also 

require that these views be combined unedited with the report 

from the Nuclear Weapons Council setting forth the requirements 

for the combined or interoperable warhead and provided to 

Congress. 

To better understand the requirements associated with this 

interoperable warhead, the conferees direct the Under Secretary 

of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to submit 

to the congressional defense committees by February 1, 2013, any 

briefing materials that pertain to the interoperable warhead 

that were provided to the Nuclear Weapons Council by the 

Commander of U.S. Strategic Command during the Council’s July 

2012 meetings. In addition to the original materials, the Under 
216 

Secretary and the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command may also 

submit any update to the information contained in the materials. 

Reports on capability of conventional and nuclear forces against 

certain tunnel sites and on nuclear weapons program of the 

People’s Republic of China (sec. 1045) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1063) that would 

require a report within 1 year after the date of enactment of 

this Act on the implications of the underground tunneling 

network of the People's Republic of China and the capacity of 

the conventional and nuclear forces of the United States to hold 

those tunnels (and assets contained within) at risk, including 

any implications for U.S. force structure and program 

requirements. Such report would be unclassified, with a 

classified annex if necessary. Information controlled under 

special access programs and alternate or compensatory control 

measures are limited to the congressional defense committees. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Report on conventional and nuclear forces in the Western Pacific 

region (sec. 1046) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1064) that 

requires a report on the deployment of additional conventional 

and nuclear forces to the Western Pacific, detailing specific 

issues with such deployments including an evaluation of any 

bilateral agreements, basing arrangements and costs required for 

such deployments. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to consider the feasibility and strategic 

value of such deployments as part of the report. 

Subtitle F–Miscellaneous Authorities and 

Limitations

Expansion of authority of the Secretary of the Army to loan or 

donate excess non-automatic service rifles for funeral and other 

ceremonial purposes (sec. 1051) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1072) that would 

amend section 4683(a) of title 10, United States Code, to change 

the statutory limitation on the number of excess small arms that 

the Secretary of the Army can donate to certain eligible 
217 

organizations for funeral and other ceremonial purposes. This 

section would also establish a rotational small arms loan 

program should the demand for ceremonial small arms exceed 

currently available excess supply. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 

the Secretary of the Army to loan or donate excess non-automatic 

service rifles to meet the needs of authorized eligible 

organizations with respect to performing funeral and other 

ceremonies. 

Interagency collaboration on unmanned aircraft systems (sec. 

1052) 

 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1074) that 

would: (1) amend section 1036(a) of the Duncan Hunter National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110–

417) to encourage technical collaboration and sharing of 

personnel, resources, and information among the Department of 

Defense (DOD), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and 

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); (2) 

direct the Secretary of Defense to collaborate with the FAA and 

NASA Administrators on solutions to the challenges of unmanned 

aerial system (UAS) integration into the National Airspace 

System (NAS); and (3) require the Secretary of Defense to 

provide an annual report for a period of 5 years on the progress 

of research and development for UAS NAS integration and future 

funding requirements. 

The Senate amendment contained a nearly identical provision 

(sec. 1046). 

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 

that congressional intent is for the collaboration effort to 

result in all public agencies gaining better access to the NAS, 

and that the Secretary’s annual report should include 

information on progress in sharing with the FAA safety 

operational and performance data as it relates to unmanned 

aircraft system operation and the impact on the NAS. 

Authority to transfer surplus Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected 

vehicles and spare parts (sec. 1053) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1075) that would 

authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer surplus MineResistant Ambush-Protected vehicles to non-profit United States 

humanitarian demining organizations for purposes of demining 

activities and training of such organizations. This section 

would specify that any transfer of such a vehicle shall be made 
218 

on a loan basis; require the cost of operation and maintenance 

of the vehicles to be borne by the recipient organization; and 

include any other appropriate conditions as determined by the 

Secretary. This section would require the Secretary to notify 

the congressional defense committees in writing 60 days prior to 

making any transfer of vehicles or spare parts. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Notice to Congress of certain Department of Defense 

nondisclosure agreements (sec. 1054) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1077) that would 

prohibit the Department of Defense (DOD) from the use of 

nondisclosure agreements to prevent members of the armed forces 

and DOD civilian employees from communicating with Members of 

Congress. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to notify the congressional defense 

committees of any nondisclosure agreements that members of the 

armed forces or DOD civilian employees are asked to sign that 

could restrict communications with Congress, and provide the 

text of the agreements and a description of the category of 

employees who will be asked to sign, along with an explanation 

of the need and the legal basis for such agreements. 

 The conferees note that all nominees for senior civilian 

and military positions in the Department of Defense make a 

commitment in the confirmation process to ensure that testimony, 

briefings, and other communications of information are provided 

to the congressional defense committees in a timely manner and 

to protect witnesses and briefers from reprisal for their 

testimony or briefings. 

 The conferees strongly discourage DOD from the use of 

nondisclosure agreements that could restrict communications with 

Congress, except in cases where such agreements are necessary to 

protect classified information, contractor proprietary 

information, or source selection sensitive information. 

Extension of authority to provide assured business guarantees to 

carriers participating in Civil Reserve Air Fleet (sec. 1055)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 332) that would 

amend section 9515 of title 10, United States Code. Section 

9515 provides authority for the Secretary of Defense to 

guarantee higher minimum levels of business than would otherwise 

be authorized by law to United States passenger carrying air 
219 

carriers participating in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet. This 

authority will expire on December 31, 2015. The House bill 

provision would: (1) extend the sunset date to 2020; and (2) 

permit the Secretary to expand the possible uses of these 

assured business guarantees to cargo carrying air carriers. 

 The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 

1043). 

 The conference agreement includes the provision. 

Authority for short-term extension of lease for aircraft 

supporting the Blue Devil intelligence, surveillance, and 

reconnaissance program (sec. 1056) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 933) that 

would allow the Secretary of the Air Force to extend or renew, 

on a temporary basis, the current lease of aircraft to support 

the Blue Devil intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 

program. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Rule of construction relating to prohibition on infringing on 

the individual right to lawfully acquire, possess, own, carry, 

and otherwise use privately owned firearms, ammunition, and 

other weapons (sec. 1057) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1071) that would 

amend section 1062(c) of the Ike Skelton National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) to 

allow the Secretary of Defense to authorize a military or 

Department of Defense (DOD) civilian mental health professional 

or commanding officer to inquire if a service member plans to 

acquire or already possesses a weapon if the mental health 

professional or commanding officer has reasonable grounds to 

believe that the service member is at high risk for suicide or 

causing harm to others. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 

section 1062(c) to allow the Secretary of Defense to authorize a 

military or DOD civilian health professional or commanding 

officer to inquire if a service member plans to acquire or 

already possesses a weapon if the health professional or 

commanding officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the 

service member is at risk for suicide or causing harm to others. 

 The conferees note that members of a service member’s chain 

of command or others who come into contact with a service member 

who they reasonably believe may be at risk for suicide or 
220 

causing harm to others, may inform the service member’s 

commanding officer of their concerns. The conferees expect that 

in implementing this provision the Secretary of Defense will 

ensure that DOD policy clearly outlines the authority to inquire 

about legally owned private weapons. By amending section 

1062(c), the conferees do not intend to modify or eliminate any 

existing statutory authority of the Department. 

Sense of Congress on the Joint Warfighting Analysis Center (sec. 

1058) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1051) that 

would express the sense of Congress that the Joint Warfighting 

Analysis Center should have adequate resources to meet the 

continuing requirements of the combatant commands. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Limitations on retirement of fixed-wing intra-theater airlift 

aircraft for general support and time sensitive/mission critical 

direct support airlift missions of the Department of Defense 

(sec. 1059) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1076) that would 

prohibit the Department of Defense from divesting, retiring, or 

transferring, or preparing to divest, retire, or transfer, any: 

(1) C–23 aircraft of the Army assigned to the Army as of May 31, 

2012; or (2) aircraft of the Air Force assigned to the Air Force 

as of May 31, 2012. 

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1708) that would apply that prohibition to any aircraft of the 

Air Force assigned to units of the Air National Guard or Air 

Force Reserve as of May 31, 2012. 

The Senate recedes with an amendment. 

On November 2, 2012, the Air Force provided Congress with a 

revised plan for fiscal year 2013 force structure that made 

substantial changes to the original fiscal year 2013 force 

structure proposal that led to these actions by Congress. The 

Air Force has indicated that the Secretary of the Air Force 

intends to implement that proposal in lieu of the force 

structure proposal submitted with the President’s budget 

request. 

The conference agreement includes a provision that would 

require the Secretary of the Air Force to retain an additional 

32 fixed-wing, intra-theater airlift aircraft beyond the number 

of such aircraft proposed to be retained in the Secretary’s 

total force structure proposal provided to the congressional 
221 

defense committees on November 2, 2012. These 32 aircraft would 

be kept to support the Army’s fixed-wing direct support/time 

sensitive airlift mission requirements of 40 dedicated aircraft. 

The Air Force’s revised proposal already incorporated an extra 

eight C-130 aircraft that could be used to support the Army’s 

mission requirements. The conferees also agree that, in 

retaining an additional 32 aircraft, the Secretary of the Air 

Force should have the discretion to choose C-130s, C-27s, or a 

combination of both. 

The conferees are concerned with the Air Force’s capability 

to meet the Army’s time sensitive/mission critical direct 

support airlift mission requirement, given the quantity of 

fixed-wing, intra-theater airlift aircraft that the Secretary of 

Defense currently proposes to retire, even under the revised 

proposal. The conferees expect this restriction will apply only 

during fiscal year 2013, by which time Congress should have 

received the report on intra-theater requirements for both Title 

10, Title 32, and Army direct support intra-theater airlift 

missions. This report was required by section 112 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public 

Law 112-81). 

The conferees note that the Vice Chiefs of Staff of the Air 

Force and the Army signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA), dated 

September 13, 2009, that defined the concept of employment for 

the Department of the Air Force in providing direct support of 

Department of the Army time sensitive or mission critical intratheater airlift missions. 

The conference agreement would require that, not later than 

June 1, 2013, the Secretary of the Air Force shall ensure that 

this MOA is incorporated into Department of the Air Force 

doctrine, strategy, tactics, and modeling and the Air Force core 

capabilities of agile combat support and rapid global mobility 

operations. 

The conferees further agree that the Air Force should 

proceed with force structure divestments, retirements, and 

transfers approved in requests prior to the fiscal year 2013 

budget request. 

However, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Air 

Force to: (1) develop a strategy to ensure that personnel 

readiness, training, and retention for units transitioning to 

new or different missions would remain at the highest level 

practicable during ongoing force structure retirements, 

divestments, and transfers; and (2) minimize, to the maximum 

extent practical, time-related gaps for units transitioning to 

new or different missions. 
222 

The conferees note that additional resources in individual 

authorization accounts to sustain the Air Force force structure 

are provided for elsewhere in this Act. 

Subtitle G—Studies and Reports

Electronic warfare strategy of the Department of Defense (sec. 

1061) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec.1067) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to review and update Department 

of Defense guidance related to electronic warfare not later than 

January 1, 2013, to ensure that oversight roles and 

responsibilities within the Department are clearly defined. 

This section would also require the Commander, U.S. Strategic 

Command, to update and issue guidance regarding the 

responsibilities of the combatant command with regard to joint 

electronic warfare capabilities. Finally, this section would 

include additional reporting requirements in the annual report 

on electronic warfare required by section 1053 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111–

84). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 

date by which the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, would be 

required to issue updated guidance from January 1, 2013, to 

October 1, 2013. 

 The conferees expect that the review and update of 

electronic warfare guidance will include an examination of the 

relationship between cyber warfare and electronic warfare, and 

that the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, will highlight for 

the leadership of the Department of Defense issues relating to 

oversight, management, and integration that need to be resolved 

across these two warfare missions. 

Report on counterproliferation capabilities and limitations 

(sec. 1062) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1068) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the 

congressional defense committees by March 1, 2013, outlining 

operational capabilities, limitations, and shortfalls within the 

Department of Defense with respect to counterproliferation and 

combating weapons of mass destruction involving special 

operations forces and key enabling forces. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
223 

Secretary of Defense to provide the required report to the 

congressional defense committees no later than 180 days after 

enactment of this Act. The amendment also modifies the elements 

of the required report. 

Report on strategic airlift aircraft (sec. 1063) 

 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1061) that 

would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 

congressional defense committees a report that sets forth 

various assessments related to: (1) possible Federal Aviation 

Administration certification for commercial use of a commercial 

variant of the C–17 aircraft, a retired C–17A aircraft, and a 

retired C–5A aircraft; and (2) the Civil Reserve Air Fleet 

(CRAF) and the potential for using these aircraft to augment 

capability in participating CRAF air carriers. The Secretary 

would be required to submit that report not later than 90 days 

after the date of the enactment of this Act. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would expand the 

congressional recipients of the report to include the Commerce 

Committee of the Senate and the Transportation and 

Infrastructure Committee of the House of Representatives. 

Repeal of biennial report on the Global Positioning System (sec. 

1064) 

 The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1062) that 

would repeal the biennial report on global positioning systems 

prepared by the Department of Defense in response to 10 U.S.C. 

2281d. This information can readily be obtained from the 

biennial Federal Radionavigation Plan. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes. 

Improvements to reports required on acquisition of technology 

relating to weapons of mass destruction and the threat posed by 

weapons of mass destruction, ballistic missiles, and cruise 

missiles (sec. 1065) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1063) that 

would repeal section 234 of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85) titled, “Annual 

Report on Threat Posed to the United States by Weapons of Mass 

Destruction, Ballistic Missiles, and Cruise Missiles”. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 
224 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would amend the 

report required by section 234 of Public Law 105-85 with 

additional requirements for the Secretary of Defense, in 

consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to 

carry out an annual report due not later than January 30 of each 

year similar to what was proposed to be repealed by the Senate. 

The conferees were informed that a report, “Acquisition of 

Technology Relating to Weapons of Mass Destruction” required by 

section 721 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 1997 (Public Law 104-293) was repealed by both the Senate 

Select Committee on Intelligence in its version of the 

Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (S. 3454), 

reported out of that committee on July 30, 2012, as well as the 

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in its version 

of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (H.R. 

5743), which was passed by the House of Representatives on May 

31, 2012. 

The result of the proposed Senate repeal and the actions of 

the intelligence committees of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives would be no meaningful unclassified data 

reported to the Congress and the American public in a 

comprehensive way on these serious threats. 

The conferees are cognizant of the cost of preparing these 

reports, but note that this reporting consolidation should 

permit efficiency and cost-savings. The conferees believe this 

new report should be prepared in as thorough a fashion as 

possible taking advantage of the venue of this more 

comprehensive unclassified report. 

The conferees expect that for the first report submission, 

the existing work done to prepare for the respective Secretary 

of Defense and Director of National Intelligence reports, which 

are now consolidated, should be utilized to ensure a thorough 

and cost-effective report, submitted on time. 

Report on force structure of the United States Army (sec. 1066) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1081) that would 

establish a bipartisan independent strategic review panel to 

conduct a regular review of the national defense strategic 

environment, an assessment of the quadrennial defense review 

required under section 118 of title 10, United States Code, and 

a review of the future of the U.S. Army. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 

Secretary of the Army to provide Congress with a report on the 

Army’s future force structure. 
225 

 The conferees direct the National Defense Panel, 

established by section 118(f) of title 10, United States Code, 

to include an assessment of the national security defense 

strategic environment of the next 20 years in the next report of 

the Panel, as required by paragraph (7) of subsection (f) of 

section 118 of title 10, United States Code.

Report on planned efficiency initiatives at Space and Naval 

Warfare Systems Command (sec. 1067) 

 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1068) that 

would require the Secretary of the Navy to submit to the 

congressional defense committees a report on plans to implement 

efficiency initiatives to reduce overhead costs of the Space and 

Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), including a detailed 

description of the long-term impacts on current and planned 

future mission requirements. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 

the plans evaluated by the Secretary should be for all echelons 

of SPAWAR. 

Report on military resources necessary to execute United States 

Force Posture Strategy in the Asia Pacific Region (sec. 1068) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1067) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to review the strategy, 

force structure, and resource requirements for the Asia Pacific 

region and to report to the congressional defense committees on 

the results within 1 year of enactment. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

 The conferees note that the Center for Strategic and 

International Studies issued an independent assessment in August 

2012 on U.S. Force Posture Strategy in the Asia-Pacific Region. 

That assessment, conducted in accordance with Section 346 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public 

Law 112-81), recommends a better alignment of engagement 

strategies between U.S. Pacific Command and the Department of 

Defense (DOD) in order to improve capabilities to respond to a 

range of contingencies. The assessment also noted that the DOD 

“has not adequately articulated the strategy behind its force 

posture planning, nor aligned the strategy with resources in a 

way that reflects current budget realities.” 

 The conferees note that the DOD has requested hundreds of 

millions of dollars for infrastructure and facility requirements 
226 

on Guam, yet there is not a clear, specific plan in the current 

budget request for the military resources and equipment needed 

in the Pacific theater to lift and maneuver our military forces. 

The conferees expect that the report required by this provision 

will address the plan for ensuring that any proposed force 

realignments in the Pacific region, to include moving U.S. 

Marines from Japan to Australia, Guam, and Hawaii, are supported 

by resources that will allow our forces to meet operational 

requirements. Military commanders in the region must have 

adequate ground, naval, and air assets to meet the operational 

and logistical challenges in the Pacific theater, including 

strategic airlift and sealift to move forces quickly around an 

extremely large and diverse area of responsibility. These 

resources should be in place before the forces are realigned, so 

as not to incur additional operational risk in this critical 

region. 

Rialto-Colton Basin, California, water resources study (sec. 

1069) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1089) that would 

require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study of 

water resources in the Rialto-Colton Basin in California. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. 

Reports on the potential security threat posed by Boko Haram 

(sec. 1070) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1090) that would 

direct the Secretary of State to submit a report on whether the 

Nigerian organization known as “Boko Haram” meets the criteria 

for designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under 

section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 

1189). 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1089) that 

would require the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to 

submit an intelligence assessment on the threat posed by Boko 

Haram. Following submission of the DNI’s assessment, the 

Secretary of State would be required to submit a report to 

Congress on the current U.S. strategy to counter the threat 

posed by Boko Haram. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

reports under this provision to be classified, and require the 

report under subsection (b) of the provision to be a joint 

report prepared by the Secretary of State and the Secretary of 

Defense. 
227 

 The conferees understand that the State Department has 

conducted an assessment of whether to designate Boko Haram as an 

FTO. The conferees expect that a discussion of the findings of 

the Department's assessment on whether Boko Haram should be 

designated as an FTO be included in the report required under 

this subsection. 

Study on the ability of national test and evaluation 

capabilities to support the maturation of hypersonic 

technologies for future defense systems development (sec. 1071) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1069) that 

would require an interagency study on the ability of the 

national test and evaluation infrastructure, including the 

Department of Defense (DOD), the National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA), and the private sector, to help mature 

hypersonic technologies for defense systems development. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments. 

 The conferees direct that DOD and NASA provide resources to 

support this study and report, as well as to provide all 

information and data on capabilities, funding, requirements, and 

other matters required for the study and report. 

 The conferees believe that maintaining the capabilities to 

conduct hypersonic ground testing is a national security 

priority and are not confident the Federal Government is taking 

all necessary actions to maintain relevant capabilities. The 

conferees are aware that as part of the fiscal year 2013 budget 

certification, the Test Resource Management Center opposed 

planned Air Force reductions that would have mothballed a number 

of important wind tunnels without assessing the impact on other 

agencies’ programs or the cost to recover that mothballed 

capability in the future. 

 Lastly, the conferees note that this study requirement 

supersedes the hypersonic test and evaluation infrastructure 

study requirement outlined in the Senate report (S. Rept. 112-

173) accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2013 (S. 3254). 

Subtitle H—Other Matters

Technical and clerical amendments (sec. 1076) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1083) that would 

make technical and clerical amendments. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment making additional 
228 

technical and clerical amendments. 

Sense of Congress on recognizing Air Mobility Command on its 

20th anniversary (sec. 1077) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1091) that would 

express the sense of Congress that, on the occasion of the 20th 

anniversary of the establishment of Air Mobility Command, the 

people of the United States should: (1) recognize the critical 

role that Mobility Air Forces play in the Nation’s defense; and 

(2) express appreciation for the leadership of Air Mobility 

Command and the more than 134,000 active duty, Air National 

Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Department of Defense civilians 

that make up the command. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes. 

Dissemination abroad of information about the United States 

(sec. 1078) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1097) that would 

amend section 501 of the United States Information and 

Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (also known as the Smith-Mundt 

Act; 22 U.S.C. 1461) to authorize, with certain exceptions, the 

Secretary of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) 

to use funds appropriated or otherwise made available for public 

diplomacy information programs to provide for the preparation, 

dissemination, and use of information intended for foreign 

audiences abroad about the United States, its people, and its 

policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, 

the Internet, and other information media, including social 

media, and through information centers, instructors, and other 

direct or indirect means of communication. The provision would 

also amend the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of Fiscal 

Years 1986 and 1987 (22 U.S.C. 1461-1a) to remove existing 

statutory limits on the Department of State’s and BBG’s ability 

to provide information about their activities to the Congress, 

media or public. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a technical and clarifying 

amendment. 

 The conferees maintain that the Secretary of State and BBG 

are authorized to utilize funds for public diplomacy programs to 

provide for the preparation, dissemination, and use of 

information intended for foreign audiences. Further, the 

conferees maintain that no funds authorized for the Department 

of State or BBG shall be used to influence public opinion in the 
229 

United States. The conferees recognize that the ban on domestic 

dissemination of BBG or Department of State public diplomacy 

products contained in the Smith-Mundt Act did not envision the 

development of new technologies, including the Internet or 

satellite broadcasting, which do not honor national boundaries. 

The conferees note the modification on the prohibition on 

domestic dissemination does not apply to other agencies of the 

U.S. Government, as the initial ban was also not applicable to 

them. In addition, this amendment in no way broadens or 

otherwise changes the current missions of the Department of 

State and BBG. 

In addition, the conferees believe the provision would 

allow BBG to respond to domestic requests for BBG material, but 

not to seek to syndicate such material through domestic media 

outlets with the intent to develop audiences within the United 

States. Further, the conferees expect that reimbursements and 

fees should not exceed the actual costs incurred to make 

materials available pursuant to the statute. The conferees also 

believe that the fees charged pursuant to this provision should 

be assessed according to a standardized, publicly-available fee 

schedule; and that the Secretary of State, BBG, and the National 

Archivist should maintain and provide to Congress a regular 

accounting of the funds collected pursuant to the reimbursement 

authority of section 501(b)(1) and the fee-collection authority 

of section 501(b)(4). 

 

Coordination for computer network operations (sec. 1079) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1098) that would 

require the President to submit to the congressional defense 

committees a charter for an interagency body to coordinate and 

deconflict full-spectrum military cyber operations for the 

Federal Government. The provision would require the report to 

include: (1) business rules and processes governing the 

interagency body’s activities; (2) interagency guidance on roles 

and responsibilities for military cyber operations; (3) the 

membership of the coordination body; and (4) plans for 

documenting the body’s activities. Finally, the provision would 

require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional 

defense committees for fiscal year 2015 and all years 

thereafter, Department of Defense-wide budget materials for 

military cyber operations. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 

reporting requirement from the President to the Secretary of 

Defense and the form of the reporting to a briefing. The 

amendment would also alter the contents of the briefing to 
230 

include: (1) business processes and rules governing interagency 

coordination processes; (2) membership and responsibilities 

relating to the interagency process; (3) interagency guidance on 

roles and responsibilities for military cyber operations; and 

(4) plans to implement the interagency guidance. 

Sense of Congress regarding unauthorized disclosures of 

classified information (sec. 1080) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1099C) that 

would require the Attorney General to investigate possible 

violations of federal law related to alleged leaks of certain 

classified information. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 

sense of Congress that the Department of Defense, the Department 

of Justice, and other federal agencies should take positive 

steps to address the unauthorized disclosure of classified 

information. 

Technical amendments to repeal statutory references to United 

States Joint Forces Command (sec. 1081) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1082), as 

requested by the Department of Defense, that would amend title 

10, United States Code, to remove references to the United 

States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) in order to reflect the 

disestablishment of USJFCOM effective August 4, 2011. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Sense of Congress on non-United States citizens who are 

graduates of United States educational institutions with 

advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, and 

mathematics (sec. 1082)

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1083) that 

would express the sense of Congress on the importance of 

science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to the 

Department of Defense. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

The conferees recognize that in order to maintain and 

advance the military technological superiority of the armed 

forces, the United States requires the best and brightest 

scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to discover, develop, 

and field the next generation of weapon systems and defense 
231 

technologies. The capabilities of the armed forces are highly 

reliant upon advanced technologies that provide our forces with 

a technological edge on the battlefield. Furthermore, the 

conferees are concerned that more than half of all graduates 

with advanced scientific and technical degrees from United 

States institutions of higher education are non-United States 

citizens who have very limited opportunities upon graduation to 

contribute to the science and technology activities of the 

Department of Defense and the United States defense industrial 

base. Of those graduates that are left that are able to support 

the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base, 

competition with other sectors is exacerbated by salary 

discrepancies and significant administrative obstacles. The 

conferees note that while there is an overarching national 

priority to increase the numbers of United States citizens who 

have appropriate advanced degrees in science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics, it would also be beneficial if the 

Department of Defense and the defense industrial base were able 

to access the pool of talent consisting of non-United States 

citizens with advanced scientific and technical degrees from 

United States institutions of higher education, many of whom are 

otherwise returning to their home countries. 

Scientific framework for recalcitrant cancers (sec. 1083) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5022) that 

would amend subpart 1 of part C of title IV of the Public Health 

Service Act (42 U.S.C. 285 et seq.) to direct the National 

Cancer Institute to develop scientific frameworks for the 

conduct or support of research efforts on recalcitrant cancers. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Protection of veterans' memorials (sec. 1084) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1096) that 

would amend sections 2314 and 2315 of title 18, United States 

Code, to make it a criminal offense to transport stolen 

veterans’ memorials of any value in interstate or foreign 

commerce, or to sell or receive stolen veterans’ memorials of 

any value that have crossed a state or United States boundary 

after being stolen, punishable by a fine and imprisonment for 

not more than 10 years. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 

maximum penalty to a fine and imprisonment for not more than 1 

year when the value of the veterans’ memorial object is less 
232 

than $1000. The amendment would also define “veterans’ memorial 

object” as a grave marker, headstone, monument, or other object 

intended to permanently honor a veteran or mark a veteran’s 

grave, or any monument that signifies an event of national 

military historical significance. 

Sense of Congress regarding spectrum (sec. 1085) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5317) that 

states a sense of Congress on sharing and making available 

federal spectrum without harming federal users.

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

The conferees are concerned that by not including specific 

national security representation, the Technical Panel and the 

Dispute Resolutions Board, established under section 6701 of The 

Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-96), may 

make decisions that could result in arbitrary determinations 

regarding the "sufficiency" of spectrum relocation or sharing 

transition plans addressing national security capabilities and 

any dispute that may arise thereafter, without adequate input 

from the Department of Defense (DOD). To ensure these equities 

are considered under the amendment, the Secretary of Defense 

would determine whether the needs and concerns of the DOD have 

been adequately considered and addressed during the processes of 

identifying frequencies to be surrendered and transition 

planning, including review of transition plans by the Technical 

Panel and any dispute resolution by the Dispute Resolution 

Board, impacting national security capabilities. 

Further, the conferees expect the National 

Telecommunications and Information Administration ensure that 

the rules and procedures implementing the Technical Panel and 

Dispute Resolution Board as required by Public Law 112-96 

incorporate methods that enable the Secretary of Defense to make 

the necessary determination on the needs and concerns of the DOD 

with respect to consideration of transition plans impacting 

national security capabilities. 

Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program (sec. 1086) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5021) that 

would revise and enhance the Dale Long Public Safety Officer 

Benefits Program. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Removal of action (sec. 1087) 
233 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5024) that 

would address the removal of certain actions to federal court 

under section 1442 of title 28, United States Code. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Transport for female genital mutilation (sec. 1088) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1092) that 

would amend title 18, United States Code, to provide penalties 

for transporting minors in foreign commerce for purposes of 

female genital mutilation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Amendments to law enforcement officer safety provisions of title 

18 (sec. 1089) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1099C) 

that would amend the law enforcement officer safety provisions 

in title 18, United States Code. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Reauthorization of sale of aircraft and parts for wildfire 

suppression purposes (sec. 1090)

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1095) that 

would reinstate the Wildfire Suppression Aircraft Transfer Act 

of 1996 (Public Law 104-307), making its provisions effective 

until the end of fiscal year 2017. The Act, which had expired 

at the end of fiscal year 2005, allowed the Department of 

Defense to sell excess aircraft and aircraft parts to private 

operators for wildfire suppression purposes. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Transfer of excess aircraft to other departments of the Federal 

Government (sec. 1091) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1094) that 

would direct the Secretary of Defense to transfer, from excess 

aircraft inventory, up to 12 aircraft each to the Secretary of 

Agriculture and the Secretary of Homeland Security for use by 

the Forest Service and the United States Coast Guard, 

respectively. The provision would require that the Secretary of 
234 

Defense afford equal priority for transferring any excess 

aircraft to the Forest Service and the Coast Guard before any 

other department or agency of the Federal Government. Finally, 

the authority to transfer excess aircraft under the provision 

would expire on December 31, 2013. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 

authority for the Secretary of Defense permissive, and would 

limit the Secretary’s authority under the provision to transfer 

up to seven aircraft to each organization. The provision would 

provide that the seven-aircraft limitation would cease upon 

formal notification of the Secretary of Agriculture and the 

Secretary of Homeland Security that the Secretary’s respective 

department will decline or accept seven aircraft. 

The conferees understand that this provision may help resolve 

pressing concerns regarding aviation forces within the Forest 

Service and the Coast Guard. The Forest Service has an urgent 

need to replace its fleet of large air tankers to more 

effectively combat increasingly severe and frequent forest 

fires, and the Coast Guard has a severely aging aircraft fleet 

serving important homeland defense missions, with only scarce 

resources to modernize that fleet. 

Items of Special Interest

Below threshold fund transfers between Department of Defense 

accounts 

 

 The Senate report contained an item of special interest 

directing the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees providing suggestions to 

increase the transparency and accountability of funds transfers 

that do not require the prior approval of Congress. 

 The House report contained no similar language. 

 The conferees note that the defense authorization and 

appropriations acts regularly authorize the Secretary of Defense 

to transfer limited amounts of funding among departmental 

accounts to facilitate unforeseen priorities. As these 

transfers fall outside the normal congressional authorization 

and appropriations process, Congress and the Department of 

Defense restrict these transfers, as a matter of policy, to 

ensure that they are performed in a manner consistent with 

congressional intent. These restrictions include a 

congressional review process for transfers that exceed specific 

dollar thresholds specified in appropriations acts. Despite 

these limits, the conferees note that Department of Defense 

transfers in fiscal year 2011 totaled more than $27.0 billion 
235 

and more than half of these were below threshold and thus not 

subject to congressional review. 

Congress grants a certain degree of flexibility to the 

Department of Defense to manage federal taxpayer funds 

efficiently and effectively in response to changing conditions 

and emerging requirements. The conferees are concerned that 

significant realignments of funding are transacted without 

congressional approval or notification. Therefore, the 

conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a summary 

of below threshold reprogrammings to the congressional defense 

committees 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. This 

summary should include a narrative describing each defense 

priority to which funding was transferred. These narratives 

should be categorized according to justification, such as 

emergent operational needs, program modifications, changes of 

mission, fact-of-life adjustments, or adjustments to meet 

Congressional intent. In addition, the summary should also 

include a narrative describing each program from which funding 

was transferred. These narratives should also be categorized 

according to justification, such as delay, deferral, or 

inability to execute. 

Comptroller General of the United States Review of Geographic 

Combatant Commands 

The House Report contained an item of special interest 

directing the Comptroller General of the United States to 

conduct a review of the personnel and resources of the 

geographic combatant commands (GCC), their supporting military 

service component commands, and other assigned task forces, and 

to submit a report on a variety of matters. 

The conferees note that as the challenges to national 

security continue to evolve, the Department of Defense faces 

missions of increasing scope, variety, and complexity around the 

world. To perform these missions, the GCCs conduct activities 

within assigned areas of responsibility, to include military-tomilitary relations, stability operations, security assistance 

engagements, post-conflict operations, disaster relief, 

humanitarian assistance, and other tasks, as assigned. Each GCC 

also has dedicated military service component sub-unified 

commands, theater special operations commands, and task forces 

operating in support of these missions. 

At a time of growing economic and fiscal constraints and 

evolving security requirements, the conferees believe that the 

Department must ensure the GCCs and their supporting elements 

have the appropriate levels and types of personnel and resources 

to execute theater security campaign plans and to respond to 
236 

emerging contingencies while avoiding duplication of effort and 

excessive headquarters structure. The conferees note that in a 

March 2012 report, the Comptroller General concluded that there 

may be additional opportunities to consolidate organizations and 

centralize functions across the Department, to include the GCCs. 

The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 

States to conduct a review of the personnel and resources of the 

combatant commands, their supporting military service component 

commands, theater special operations commands, and assigned task 

forces, and to submit a report on the findings to the Committees 

on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives by 

June 30, 2013. The review should cover the following: (1) the 

level of resources, in terms of personnel and overall support 

costs, associated with the commands for fiscal years 2001 

through 2011 and an assessment of their adequacy to meet the 

commands’ assigned missions and responsibilities; (2) how the 

commands, their supporting military service component commands, 

theater special operations commands, and assigned task forces 

are currently organized and structured to ensure efficiency and 

avoid duplication within and among the various organizations;(3) 

what steps, if any, the Department has taken to reexamine the 

size and structure of its GCCs and their subordinate 

organizations in light of the new strategic guidance issued in 

2012; (4) how the Department maximizes efficiencies across the 

GCCs and the associated sub-unified numeric coded organizations 

and the associated commander support organizations; and (5) 

other matters the Comptroller General may deem appropriate. 

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Sense of Congress regarding the counterdrug tethered aerostat 

radar system program 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1015) that would 

express the sense of Congress regarding the counterdrug tethered 

aerostat radar system (TARS) program. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note the importance of TARS to the ongoing 

efforts of the United States Government to combat illicit 

trafficking in the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility. 

Findings on detention pursuant to the Authorization for Use of 

Military Force enacted in 2001 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1031) that would 

state congressional findings regarding principles of law 
237 

underlying detention pursuant to the Authorization for Use of 

Military Force enacted in 2001. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Findings regarding habeas corpus rights 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1032) that would 

state congressional findings regarding the writ of habeas corpus 

and the constitutional limitation on the suspension of the writ 

of habeas corpus. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Prohibition on travel to the United States for certain detainees 

repatriated to the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic 

of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1035) that would 

prohibit any individual detained at the U.S. detention facility 

at U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and who has been 

repatriated to the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic 

of the Marshall Islands, or the Republic of Palau, from being 

afforded the rights and benefits provided under section 141 of 

the applicable Compact of Free Association (Public Law 99-658; 

108-188). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that no Guantanamo detainees are or 

would be eligible for the immigration benefits of section 141 of 

the Compacts of Free Association relating to the Republic of 

Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of 

the Marshall Islands. These benefits are only afforded to 

citizens, or their relatives, of Palau, Micronesia, or the 

Marshall Islands, and Guantanamo detainees are not legally 

eligible to attain naturalized citizenship. 

Commitments for nuclear weapons stockpile modernization 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1052) that 

consists of a series of congressional findings on U.S. nuclear 

weapons stockpile modernization. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement Nuclear Facility 

and Uranium Processing Facility

 The conferees note that it is the practice of the 

Department of Defense (DOD)to send an interim response to 

appropriate congressional committees whenever it misses a 
241 

statutory deadline for a reporting requirement. The conferees 

direct DOD to include in such interim responses an explanation 

for the delay and an estimate of the date on which the report 

will be submitted. 

Prohibition on use of information against a United States 

citizen gathered by unmanned aerial vehicle without a warrant 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1084) that would 

make information gathered by an unmanned aerial vehicle of the 

Department of Defense (DOD) inadmissible against a citizen of 

the United States in any U.S. court, unless the information was 

obtained pursuant to a court order.

improve coordination and information sharing regarding U.S. 

foreign police assistance activities. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. The conferees note that in June 2012, 

the Secretary of State submitted to Congress the report required 

by section 1235(c) of the Ike Skelton National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) on 

U.S. Government foreign police training and equipping programs. 

As that report indicates, foreign police assistance activities 

are being conducted across the U.S. Government, including the 

Department of State, the Department of Defense, the U.S. Agency 

for International Development, the Department of Justice, the 

Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of the 

Treasury. The conferees encourage the various departments and

Report on effects of budget sequestration on Department of 

Defense 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1004) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives a detailed report on the impact on the 

Department of Defense of the sequestration of funds for fiscal 

year 2013, if triggered on January 2, 2013, under section 251A 

of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 

(Public Law 99-177). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Sequestration Transparency Act 

of 2012 (Public Law 112-155) required the President to submit to 

the Congress a report on the sequestration that is scheduled to 

be ordered on January 2, 2013. Pursuant to Public Law 112-155, 

the Office of Management and Budget issued the report on 

September 14, 2012. 

Transfer of certain fiscal year 2012 and 2013 funds

accounts. 
245 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Modification of authority on training of special operations 

forces with friendly foreign forces 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1042) that 

would modify section 2011 of title 10, United States Code, to 

state that the purposes of the Joint Combined Exchange Training 

(JCET) authority are to support: (1) the training of U.S. 

Special Operations Forces and (2) the training of the armed 

forces and other security forces of a friendly foreign country. 

Consistent with current practice, the modification contained in 

the Senate amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense 

to coordinate with the Secretary of State prior to the 

initiation of any such training. Lastly, the modification 

contained in the Senate amendment would authorize unspecified 

minor military construction projects, up to $250,000, that are 

in direct support of authorized training. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees believe that the JCET authority is an 

effective tool for improving the language and cultural expertise 

of U.S. Special Operations Forces while providing opportunities 

to practice skills needed to conduct a variety of missions, 

including foreign internal defense, unconventional warfare, and 

counterterrorism. The conferees also recognize the inherent 

benefit of JCET events in building the capacity of foreign 

partners and enhancing U.S. influence in host countries. The 

conferees note that the existing JCET authority allows 

flexibility for U.S. Special Operations Forces to engage with 

appropriate partner nation armed forces and other security 

forces, including those that conduct border and maritime 

security, internal defense and security, and counterterrorism 

operations. 

However, the conferees believe the Department has taken a 

narrow interpretation of the JCET statutory authority stating 

that the “primary purpose” of funding for JCET activities “shall 

be to train the special operations forces of the combatant 

command.” This narrow interpretation has, in some cases, 

limited the overall effectiveness of JCET events and the efforts 

of the geographic combatant commanders to achieve persistent, 

rather than episodic, engagement with high-priority partner 

nation security forces. The conferees believe such persistent 

engagements are consistent with the purposes of the JCET 

authority. 

The conferees are further concerned that a lack of 
246 

sufficient resources and the unavailability of regionallyaligned U.S. Special Operations Forces due to high operational 

tempo has led to less frequent and shorter duration engagements 

with partner forces in key regions and countries, indirectly 

weakening partnerships that could be used to identify, deter, 

and mitigate national security threats. This lack of continual 

on-the-ground experience has eroded regional, cultural, and 

linguistic expertise once resident within certain special 

operations units, inhibited the building of personal 

relationships with host country personnel, and limited the 

implicit training value of planning and deploying to remote 

locations under arduous conditions. 

 The conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict, in coordination 

with the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, not later 

than March 1, 2013, to submit a report to the Committees on 

Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives 

describing any deficiencies or limitations of the current JCET 

authority that negatively impact the effectiveness of such 

engagements, including an assessment of the utility of 

authorizing unspecified minor military construction and other 

construction in support of JCET activities. 

Participation of veterans in the Transition Assistance Program 

of the Department of Defense 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1044) that 

would authorize veterans to participate in the Transition 

Assistance Program (TAP) of the Department of Defense for 1 year 

following discharge or separation from the armed forces. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the revised TAP being implemented 

pursuant to section 1144 of title 10, United States Code, 

includes an enriched set of tools and connections to enhance the 

transition for service members and to ensure that eligible 

veterans retain access to the transition materials, information 

and services. 

The Department of Labor’s (DOL) revised 3-day employment 

workshop provides transitioning service members with updated 

“career-readiness” focused materials, information and services. 

The mandatory employment workshop connects each separating 

service member with nearly 3,000 DOL American Job Centers (AJC) 

via the "Gold Card" certificate. The AJCs know the community 

labor market where the separating service member will live and 

provide the veteran with 6 months of priority one-on-one 

employment services. These services provide veterans with 
247 

direct local labor market exposure, insight, and personalized 

employment assistance that is more robust than what is available 

in the DOL employment workshop for transitioning service 

members. 

Additionally, all separating service members are required 

to participate in the revised Department of Veterans Affairs 

(VA) benefits briefing and must register in the VA's eBenefits 

portal before separation. The eBenefits portal permanently 

connects service members to VA resources both prior to and 

following separation from military service. This allows VA to 

reach out to service members and veterans directly. Eligible 

veterans are provided ongoing full online access to the same 

benefits information and services provided to transitioning 

service members while still on active duty. 

Modification of the Ministry of Defense Advisor Program 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1045) that 

would modify the Ministry of Defense Advisors Program, 

established in section 1081 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), to 

permit the Secretary of Defense to assign civilian employees of 

the Department of Defense as advisors to regional organizations 

with defense or security components and international 

organizations of which the United States is a member. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Report on program on return of rare earth phosphors from 

Department of Defense fluorescent lighting waste to the domestic 

rare earth supply chain 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1064) that 

requires a cost-benefit analysis on the feasibility and 

advisability of establishing a program within the Department of 

Defense (DOD) to recapture fluorescent lighting waste. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a 

report to the congressional defense committees on the results of 

a cost-benefit analysis and on recommendations concerning the 

feasibility and advisability of establishing a program within 

the DOD to recapture fluorescent lighting waste, and making such 

waste available to entities that have the ability to extract 

rare earth phosphors, reprocess and separate them in an 

environmentally safe manner, and return them to the domestic 

rare earth supply chain. The report should provide for the 
248 

disposal and mitigation of residual mercury and other hazardous 

by-products of the recycling process and address concerns 

regarding the potential export of heavy rare earth materials 

from United States Government sources to non-allied nations. 

This information may be incorporated into the report 

required by the House report (H. Rept. 112-479) accompanying the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (H.R. 

4310). 

Study on Bradley Fighting Vehicle industrial base 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1066) that 

would require the Secretary of the Army to conduct a study on 

the Bradley Fighting Vehicle industrial base. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes. 

The conferees direct the Secretary of the Army to submit a 

report to the congressional defense committees by May 1, 2013, 

on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle industrial base. The report 

should include, but not be limited to, an assessment of the 

financial impact and risk of a production break for the Bradley 

Fighting Vehicle, including the cost of shutdown compared to the 

cost of continued production; and an assessment of the 

industrial capability and capacity impact and risk of a 

production break for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, including the 

loss of a specialized workforce and supplier base. 

Report on simulated tactical flight training in a sustained 

gravity environment 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1069A) 

that would require a study of the implications of simulatorbased training for fighter aircraft in a sustained gravity 

environment. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. However, 

the House report (H. Rept. 112-497) accompanying the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (H.R. 4310) 

included direction for the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 

study on the effectiveness of simulated tactical flight training 

in a sustained gravity environment and to submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees by December 31, 2013. 

 The Senate recedes. 

The conferees understand the cost of operating highperformance fighter aircraft continues to increase the overall 

costs of the flying hour program. While the conferees support 

the current level of funding of the flying hour program and the 

invaluable experience provided, the conferees believe that 
249 

alternative methods to train and prepare pilots for combat 

should be assessed. One such alternative has been an increased 

reliance on simulator-based training platforms. Among the 

emerging technologies available to simulate the dynamic forces 

experienced during flight is a new class of centrifuge-based 

flight simulators known as “sustained-G tactical flight 

trainers.” These simulators combine centrifugation with high 

fidelity cockpit modules to mimic the physiological stresses and 

gravitational forces experienced during actual flight. 

Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 

contract with a Federally Funded Research and Development Center 

(FFRDC) to conduct a study on the effectiveness of simulated 

tactical flight training in sustained gravity environments. The 

Secretary should transmit the FFRDC report to the congressional 

defense committees not later than June 30, 2014, together with 

any comments of the Secretary in light of the report and such 

recommendations for legislative or administrative action as the 

Secretary considers appropriate regarding the use of simulated 

tactical flight training in a sustained gravity environment. 

The study should assess the impact on training effectiveness, 

cost, pilot and aircraft readiness, and life-cycle efficiencies 

from simulator-based training platforms on the modeled aircraft. 

Report on Department of Defense support for United States 

diplomatic security 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1069B) 

that would require a report on Department of Defense support for 

United States diplomatic security. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that congressional committees in the 

House of Representative and Senate, as well as the State 

Department’s Accountability Review Board, are reviewing the 

September 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. State Department’s 

temporary mission facility in Benghazi, Libya. 

The conferees understand the Department of Defense (DOD) is 

supporting the ongoing effort of the State Department’s 

Accountability Review Board, as well as the reviews by the 

various congressional committees. Further, the conferees note 

that the Secretary of Defense has indicated that DOD is working 

with the Department of State to assess how the attack in 

Benghazi, Libya, should inform planning for future DOD support 

to diplomatic security and installations. 

The conferees also note that DOD is conducting its own 

internal review to determine whether force posture and other 

contingency plans need to be adjusted. The Secretary of Defense 
250 

has indicated that he intends to brief the Committees on Armed 

Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on this 

internal review. The conferees direct that the committees be 

provided such a briefing promptly upon completion of the DOD 

internal review. 

Comptroller General of the United States report on Department of 

Defense spending for conferences and conventions 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1069C) 

that would require the Comptroller General of the United States 

to report to the congressional defense committees on Department 

of Defense (DOD) spending on conferences and conventions. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees are aware that some conferences and 

conventions provide unique training, readinesss, and partnership 

capacity building opportunities for the DOD. These conferences 

and conventions can provide specialized education and unique 

training opportunities, and they often serve to enhance 

cooperation and interoperability with allies and partner 

nations. The conferees are also aware that some large meetings, 

which could be categorized as conferences, are necessary to 

support and enhance the DOD's role and performance in 

interagency operations, such as natural disaster response or 

consequence management, and to plan and prepare major training 

exercises. However, the conferees are concerned that the DOD 

may lack the capacity or fail to exercise sufficient oversight 

of conferences and conventions and that it may not have 

necessary mechanisms in place to prevent wasteful or excessive 

spending in connection with those conferences and conventions. 

The conferees expect the Department to establish appropriate 

mechanisms to avoid unnecessary conferences and conventions and 

wasteful or excessive spending. 

Therefore, the conferees direct the Comptroller General to 

review the DOD’s oversight and management of conferences and 

conventions and to report to the congressional defense 

committees not later than 270 days after the date of the 

enactment of this Act. The review shall assess, at a minimum, 

historical levels of DOD spending for conferences and 

conventions, whether the Department has reasonable controls 

established for such spending, the efficacy of any new controls 

on such spending implemented by the Department of Defense in the 

last year, and whether those new controls have been implemented 

in a manner that has led the Department to incur unnecessary or 

excessive fees for the cancellation of conferences or 

conventions. The review shall also assess those controls and 
251 

processes utilized by the DOD to ensure that the Department’s 

spending on conferences and conventions is properly aligned with 

the strategy, plans, missions, goals, and objectives of the 

Department. Finally, the report shall examine whether certain 

events, such as planning sessions for major training exercises, 

should be categorized as training or readiness events, rather 

than as conferences. 

Sense of the Senate on the maintenance by the United States of 

a triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems 

 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1084) that 

would state the sense of the Senate that the United States

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that section 1043 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-

81) requires the President to provide detailed information, in 

the annual budget request submitted to the Congress, on funding 

for modernization of the strategic nuclear delivery systems and 

stockpile.

it a criminal offense for a person to knowingly, falsely, and 

materially represent himself or herself to have served in the

One-year extension of authority to waive annual limitation on 

premium pay and aggregate limitation on pay for Federal civilian 

employees working overseas (sec. 1101)

on the aggregate of basic and premium pay payable through 

calendar year 2013 to an employee who performs work in an 

overseas location that is in the area of responsibility of the

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Expansion of experimental personnel program for scientific and 

technical personnel at the Defense Advanced Research Projects 

Agency (sec. 1102) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1101) that would 

amend section 1101(b)(1)(A) of the Strom Thurmond National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105-

261), as amended by section 1110 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), to 

authorize the appointment of not more than 60 employees to 

scientific and engineering positions in the Defense Advanced 

Research Projects Agency (DARPA). 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1102). The Senate amendment would also require that the 

provision shall not be construed as affecting any authorization 

on the numbers of personnel that may be employed at DARPA 

overall. 
254 

 The House recedes. 

Extension of authority to fill shortage category positions for 

certain Federal acquisition positions for civilian agencies 

(sec. 1103) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1103) that would 

extend to 2017 the direct hiring authority available for 

civilian agency acquisition positions under section 1703 of 

title 41, United States Code, and modify the authority. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 

authority without modifying it. 

One-year extension of discretionary authority to grant 

allowances, benefits, and gratuities to personnel on official 

duty in a combat zone (sec. 1104) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1103) that 

would authorize temporary discretionary authority to federal 

agencies to grant allowances, benefits, and gratuities 

comparable to those provided to members of the foreign service 

to an agency’s civilian employees on official duty in a combat 

zone. This authority would expire at the end of fiscal year 

2014. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Policy on senior mentors (sec. 1105) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that would 

require the Department of Defense to notify the congressional 

defense committees at least 60 days before implementing any 

change to the policy regarding senior mentors established in 

accordance with the requirements of section 1102 of the Ike 

Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 

(Public Law 111-383). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Authority to pay for the transport of family household pets for 

Federal employees during certain evacuation operations (sec. 

1106) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that would 

amend section 5725 of title 5, United States Code, to authorize 

the transport at government expense of family household pets of

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1111) that would 

establish a new interagency personnel rotation system for 

persons serving in national security positions across the 

executive branch, to be managed by an interagency Committee on 

National Security Personnel (CNSP). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would simplify 

and streamline the provision, providing the CNSP with greater 

flexibility in the implementation of the new program. The 

provision would give the executive branch broad authority to 

identify and define interagency communities of interest (ICI) 

covered by the bill, to identify which agencies are included in 

the program and which positions in each agency are within an 

ICI, and to establish processes and procedures for carrying out 

the program. 

 The provision would require that the interagency program be 

carried out in at least two ICI during the first 4 years after 

enactment, including an ICI for emergency management and an ICI 

for stabilization and reconstruction. The conferees understand 

that the emergency management ICI would encompass components of 

federal agencies engaged in international disaster relief, while 

the stabilization and reconstruction ICI would encompass 

components of federal agencies assisting in stabilization and 

reconstruction efforts in connection with overseas contingency 

operations. 

 The conferees note that the provision would require the 

CNSP to develop appropriate performance measures, reporting 

requirements, and other accountability devices for the 

evaluation of the program. In this regard, the conferees expect 

the CNSP to establish mechanisms to gather information from 

individuals completing rotational service under the program, 

including views on the value of the experience, the value added 

to the interagency process, the value provided to the home 

agency, and any improvements that could be made to the program. 

 The conferees further note that the provision would require 

the Comptroller General to review the implementation and 

effectiveness of the interagency personnel rotation program 

established pursuant to this section. The conferees will 

carefully review the Comptroller General’s findings and 
256 

recommendations to determine whether the program is working as 

intended, and whether any revisions or adjustments may be 

needed.

would amend section 3307(e) of title 5, United States Code, to 

increase the maximum age at which certain former service members 

may be appointed to federal law enforcement positions from age 

37 to age 47. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

TITLE XII–MATTERS RELATING TO FOREIGN 

NATIONS 

Subtitle A-Assistance and Training 

Modification and extension of authorities relating to program to 

build the capacity of foreign military forces (sec. 1201) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that would 

modify the authority under section 1206 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109-163) for 

the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary 

of State, to conduct programs to build the capacity of foreign 

military forces to conduct counterterrorism and stability 

operations (the “1206 authority”). The provision would add 

small-scale military construction to the types of assistance 

that could be provided under the 1206 authority during fiscal 

year 2013. Small-scale military construction would be limited 

to under $750,000 per program and no more than $25.0 million in 

small-scale military construction could be authorized during 

fiscal year 2013. The provision would also authorize up to 20 

percent of the amount authorized for fiscal year 2013 to be 

obligated and expended for programs authorized in fiscal year 

2014, provided that the Secretary of Defense notifies the 

specified congressional committees by September 30, 2013, of his 

decision to do so. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1201) that 

would extend the 1206 authority for 1 year through the end of 

fiscal year 2014 and would amend the required elements of the 
257 

congressional notification of the initiation of a 1206 project 

to include additional information on the assistance provided to 

the recipient country during the preceding 3 fiscal years. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 

1206 authority, including the annual sublimit on the amount of 

funds that can be used for stability operations capacitybuilding, through the end of fiscal year 2014. The amendment 

would eliminate the authority to obligate and expend fiscal year 

2013 funds for programs authorized in fiscal year 2014, but the 

conference provision would retain the authority to provide 1206 

assistance for small-scale military construction. The amendment 

would also clarify the required elements of the congressional 

notification required prior to the initiation of a 1206 project. 

Extension of authority for non-reciprocal exchanges of defense 

personnel between the United States and foreign countries (sec. 

1202) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1203) that would 

extend for 3 fiscal years the authority for the Department of 

Defense (DOD) to accept, on a non-reciprocal basis, defense 

personnel of the defense ministry of an ally or friendly foreign 

government. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1202) that would extend the aforementioned authority for 5 

fiscal years. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 

authority for 4 fiscal years. 

The conferees urge the Department to continue its use of 

this authority and to consider using it to enhance--consistent 

with the Defense Strategic Guidance--our relationships with 

partners and allies. 

Authority to build the capacity of certain counterterrorism 

forces in Yemen and East Africa (sec. 1203) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1203) that 

would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 

of the Secretary of State, to provide training, equipment, 

supplies, and minor military construction to: (1) the Yemen 

Ministry of Interior (MOI) Counterterrorism Unit (CTU); (2) the 

national military forces, counterterrorism forces, and security 

agencies that serve a similar defense function, and border 

security forces of Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya; and (3) the 

national military forces of nations participating in the African 

Union Mission in Somalia. These funds would be for the purpose 

of conducting counterterrorism operations against al Qaeda in 
258 

the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen, and al Qaeda affiliates and al 

Shabaab in East Africa, respectively. The provision would 

permit the Secretary of Defense to expend not more than $75.0 

million in support of the Yemen MOI CTU and not more than $75.0 

million in support of the named forces conducting 

counterterrorism operations in East Africa. The provision would 

require that any support pursuant to this section must be 

provided in a manner that promotes the observance of and respect 

for human rights and fundamental freedom and for legitimate 

civilian authority in the country receiving such assistance. 

The provision would expire when the Global Security Contingency 

Fund achieves full operational capability or September 30, 2014, 

whichever occurs earlier. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

The conferees believe that the extension of this authority 

should not detract from efforts to ensure the Global Security 

Contingence Fund reaches full operational capability in a timely 

manner. 

Limitation on activities under State Partnership Program pending 

compliance with certain program-related requirements (sec. 1204) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1204) that 

would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from obligating or 

expending more than 50 percent of the funds available for fiscal 

year 2013 for the State Partnership Program (SPP) until the 

final regulations required pursuant to section 1210 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public 

Law 111-84) are completed and the necessary regulatory 

adjustments have been finalized to ensure compliance of the 

program with the Anti-Deficiency Act (Public Law 97-258). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the 

Secretary of Defense from obligating or expending funds for SPP 

after a date specified in this Act. 

Subtitle B-Matters Relating to Iraq, 

Afghanistan, and Pakistan 

Authority to support operations and activities of the Office of 

Security Cooperation in Iraq (sec. 1211) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that would 

authorize the use during fiscal year 2013 of up to $508.0 

million in Department of Defense (DOD) funds under the authority 
259 

of section 1215 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to support the operations 

and activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq 

(OSC-I). The provision would also authorize the use of these 

funds to provide training and assistance to Iraqi Ministry of 

Defense personnel. In addition, the provision would require the 

Secretary of Defense to submit to the specified congressional 

committees a detailed report relating to the OSC-I. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1212) that 

would extend for fiscal year 2013 the authority of section 1215 

of Public Law 112-81 for the Secretary of Defense to support the 

operations and activities of the OSC-I and authorize the use of 

up to $508.0 million in DOD funds for these purposes. 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 

provide that during fiscal year 2013 the Secretary of Defense 

may authorize the OSC-I to conduct non-operational training of 

Iraqi Ministry of Defense and Counter Terrorism Service 

personnel in an institutional environment to address capability 

gaps and integrate certain processes within the Iraqi security 

forces. The amendment would also clarify the reporting 

requirement. 

 The conferees expect the Administration to act deliberately 

to accelerate the transition of the OSC-I to a normalized status 

comparable to Offices of Security Cooperation in other 

countries, and that funding for the activities and operations of 

the OSC-I will be transitioned from the DOD to other sources. 

Report on insider attacks in Afghanistan and their effect on the 

United States transition strategy for Afghanistan (sec. 1212) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1214) that would 

prohibit the Department of Defense from contracting or otherwise 

employing private security contractors (PSCs) to guard military 

facilities in Afghanistan where U.S. Armed Forces personnel are 

garrisoned or housed or to provide security for U.S. Armed 

Forces personnel in Afghanistan. The provision would also 

prohibit contracting with the Afghan Public Protection Force 

(APPF) to provide static security at such military installations 

or facilities or personal security for U.S. Armed Forces 

personnel. The provision would require the use of the U.S. 

Armed Forces to provide such services organically and the 

deployment of U.S. Armed Forces members in sufficient numbers to 

ensure that such duties do not detract from other missions in 

Afghanistan. The President would be authorized to waive the 

requirements of this section if the President makes specific 

certifications regarding the capabilities of PSCs or the APPF. 

Finally, the House provision would require quarterly reports by 
260 

the Secretary of Defense to the congressional defense committees 

on attacks on U.S. Armed Forces carried out by members of the 

Afghan National Security Forces, APPF, or PSCs, called “insider 

attacks”, and efforts to counter such attacks. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1537) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a 

detailed report on insider attacks and the steps being taken by 

the International Security Assistance Force and the Government 

of Afghanistan to prevent and respond to this threat. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 

sense of Congress on insider attacks and require the Secretary 

of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees a 

detailed report, and semi-annual updates to that report, on 

insider attacks and the measures by the U.S. Government and the 

Government of Afghanistan to address such attacks and associated 

threats. 

 The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to notify the 

congressional defense committees promptly of any decision by the 

commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan to suspend or cease 

training, advising, or security assistance activities with the 

Afghan National Security Forces due to an insider attack. The 

notification should include an assessment of the impact that the 

Secretary anticipates the temporary suspension or cessation of 

training, advising, or security assistance activities will have 

on efforts to transition the lead responsibility for security to 

the Afghan National Security Forces. 

United States military support in Afghanistan (sec. 1213) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1216) that would 

express the sense of Congress regarding the United States 

mission in Afghanistan. The provision would also require the 

President to notify the congressional defense committees prior 

to any public announcement of a decision to reduce the number of 

U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan below the levels of such forces 

deployed to Afghanistan as of certain specified dates. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1536) that 

would require that not later than 30 days after the President 

makes a decision to change the level of U.S. Armed Forces in 

Afghanistan, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, through 

the Secretary of Defense, must submit to the congressional 

defense committees a detailed assessment of the risk to the U.S. 

mission and interests in Afghanistan as the change in troop 

levels is implemented. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to notify the congressional defense 

committees of any Presidential-level decision on changes to U.S. 
261 

troop levels in Afghanistan. The amendment would also require 

that not later than 30 days after such a Presidential-level 

decision, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, through the 

Secretary of Defense, would be required to submit a detailed 

assessment of the risk to the U.S. mission and interests in 

Afghanistan associated with such a change in U.S. troop levels, 

including the risk associated with the transition of combat 

responsibilities to the Afghan Security Forces following such a 

change in U.S. troop levels. The provision’s notification 

requirements would terminate on December 31, 2014. 

Modification of report on progress toward security and stability 

in Afghanistan (sec. 1214) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1218) that would 

modify the reporting requirements under section 1230 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public 

Law 110-81), as amended, relating to progress toward security 

and stability in Afghanistan. The provision would require 

additional detailed information relating to the Afghanistan 

National Security Forces (ANSF), including measures on literacy 

rates, recruitment, entry-level training, personnel issues, 

professionalism, retention, logistics, and transition. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 

additional reporting requirements relating to the ANSF. The 

amendment would also require information on steps taken by the 

United States, the International Security Assistance Force, and 

the Government of Afghanistan in preparation for the Afghan 

presidential elections in 2014, including to train a sufficient 

number of ANSF personnel, including female ANSF members, and to 

secure election workers, materials, and locations as may be 

necessary to safely carry out the elections, including the 

participation of women. Additionally, the amendment would 

require information on the transition from partnership to 

security force assistance activities as the ANSF increasingly 

take the security lead in Afghanistan. 

Independent assessment of the Afghan National Security Forces 

(sec. 1215) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1219) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to provide for the 

conduct of an independent assessment of the capability 

requirements for the Afghan National Security Forces to provide 

security for Afghanistan after 2014. At the Secretary’s 

discretion, the assessment would be conducted by either a 
262 

federally-funded research and development center or an 

independent, non-governmental institute with relevant expertise. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Extension and modification of logistical support for coalition 

forces supporting certain United States military operations 

(sec. 1216) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1217) that 

would extend for 1 year the authority provided in section 1234 

of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 

(Public Law 111-81), as amended, to provide logistical support 

to coalition forces in Afghanistan. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Report on Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Program (sec. 

1217) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1220) that 

would require a report by the Secretary of Defense, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State, on the Afghanistan 

Peace and Reconciliation Program, which seeks to reintegrate 

former insurgents into Afghan society. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

One-year extension of authority to use funds for reintegration 

activities in Afghanistan (sec. 1218) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that would 

amend section 1216 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383), as 

amended, to extend the authority to use Department of Defense 

funds to support reintegration activities in Afghanistan through 

fiscal year 2013 and authorize the use of up to $35.0 million 

for these purposes. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1213) that includes a sense of the Senate on the conflictinduced displacement of Afghans. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees are concerned about the rise in the 

displacement of Afghans due to the ongoing conflict in 

Afghanistan and the corresponding increase in humanitarian 

needs. The conferees encourage the Bureau of Population, 

Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State and the 
263 

Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan to jointly 

develop a comprehensive strategy to address this rising 

displacement and associated humanitarian requirements, which 

should include an assessment of and a plan to enhance the 

capacity of the Government of Afghanistan to address the causes, 

and respond to the consequences, of forced displacement within 

Afghanistan. 

One-year extension and modification of authority for program to 

develop and carry out infrastructure projects in Afghanistan 

(sec. 1219) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1214) that 

would authorize the use of up to $350.0 million during fiscal 

year 2013 for the Afghanistan Infrastructure Program (AIP) to 

develop and carry out infrastructure programs in Afghanistan 

that support the counterinsurgency campaign. Funding for the 

AIP is provided through the Afghanistan Infrastructure Fund 

(AIF). The provision would also restrict the availability of a 

portion of the AIF funds during fiscal year 2013 until the 

Secretary of Defense submits a plan for the use of AIF funds 

under the AIP. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Report on updates and modifications to campaign plan for 

Afghanistan (sec. 1220)

Comptroller General to report to the congressional defense 

committees on any substantial update or modification to the 

campaign plan for Afghanistan. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Commanders’ Emergency Response Program in Afghanistan (sec. 

1221) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that would 

amend section 1201 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), to extend the authority 

for the Commanders’ Emergency Response Program (CERP) in 

Afghanistan through fiscal year 2013. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1211) that would extend the CERP authority through fiscal year 
264 

2013 and limit the amount of funds available for the program to 

$200.0 million, which is a reduction of $200.0 million from the 

budget request of $400.0 million. 

 The House recedes. The conferees note that during fiscal 

year 2012, the amount of CERP funds obligated in Afghanistan was 

less than $200.0 million. With the drawdown of U.S. troops in 

Afghanistan, the conferees anticipate that CERP spending will 

decrease accordingly. 

Authority to transfer defense articles and provide defense 

services to the military and security forces of Afghanistan 

(sec. 1222) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1224) that 

would authorize the transfer of defense articles being drawn 

down in Afghanistan, and the provision of defense services in 

connection with such transfers, to the military and security 

forces of Afghanistan to restore and maintain internal peace and 

security. The provision would also authorize the transfer of 

such defense articles and such defense services to the military 

and security forces of Yemen to support counterterrorism 

operations and counter al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and to 

the military and security forces of Somalia and other specified 

East African countries to support their efforts to conduct 

counterterrorism and postconflict stability operations in 

Somalia. The provision would authorize the transfer of such 

nonexcess defense articles up to a limit of $250.0 million in 

any fiscal year and would exempt during fiscal years 2013 and 

2014 the transfer of such excess defense articles (EDA) to 

specified countries from counting against the annual limitation 

on the aggregate value of EDA transferred under section 516 of 

the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Public Law 87-195). The 

provision would also permit construction equipment being drawn 

down from Afghanistan to be treated as EDA under section 516 of 

Public Law 87-195. The authority to transfer nonexcess defense 

articles under this section would expire on December 31, 2014. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 

authority to transfer nonexcess defense articles under this 

section to transfers only to Afghanistan. The amendment would 

also eliminate the provision allowing construction equipment 

being withdrawn from Afghanistan to be treated as EDA under 

section 516 of Public Law 87-195. The amendment would clarify 

that any EDA transferred from the Department of Defense stocks 

in Afghanistan, regardless of the recipient country, would be 

exempt during fiscal years 2013 and 2014 from the annual 

limitation on the aggregate value of EDA transferred under 
265 

section 516 of Public Law 87-195. 

Report on efforts to promote the security of Afghan women and 

girls during the security transition process (sec. 1223) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1249) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of 

the Secretary of State, to submit to the appropriate 

congressional committees a plan for promoting the security of 

Afghan women during the security transition process. The 

provision would also require reporting on implementation of this 

plan as part of the report submitted pursuant to sections 1230 

and 1231 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as amended. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State jointly to 

submit a report on U.S. Government efforts to promote the 

security of Afghan women and girls during the security 

transition process. The report would include a discussion of 

efforts to monitor changes in women’s security conditions in 

areas undergoing transition, including indicators that are or 

may be used to measure the security of women and girls during 

the transition process. Examples of such indicators could 

include: the mobility of women and girls; the participation of 

women in local governing bodies; school attendance rates for 

girls; and women’s access to government services. The report 

would also include discussions of efforts that may increase 

gender awareness and responsiveness within the Afghan National 

Army (ANA) and Afghan National Police (ANP), and of efforts to 

increase the number of female personnel within the ANA and ANP. 

 The conferees encourage the Secretary of State, in 

preparing the report required by this section, to consult with 

the Administrator of the United States Agency for International 

Development and the Department of State Coordinator for Global 

Women’s Issues. 

Sense of Congress commending the Enduring Strategic Partnership 

Agreement between the United States and Afghanistan (sec. 1224)

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1222) that 

would express the sense of Congress commending the Enduring 

Strategic Partnership Agreement between the United States of 

America and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 
266 

Consultations with Congress on a bilateral security agreement 

with Afghanistan (sec. 1225) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1223) that 

would require, not later than 30 days prior to entering into a 

Bilateral Security Agreement with Afghanistan, that the 

President submit the agreement to the appropriate congressional 

committees for review. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

President to consult periodically with the appropriate 

congressional committees on the status of the negotiations of 

the Bilateral Security Agreement. The amendment would also 

require the President, prior to entering into any Bilateral 

Security Agreement with Afghanistan, to make the text of the 

agreement available to the appropriate congressional committees. 

 The conferees note that the Enduring Strategic Partnership 

Agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic 

Republic of Afghanistan (ESPA), signed on May 1, 2012, 

establishes an enduring strategic partnership between the two 

countries. The ESPA reaffirms the presence and operations of 

U.S Armed Forces in Afghanistan, and commits the United States 

and Afghanistan to continue to foster close cooperation 

concerning mutually-determined defense and security 

arrangements. The conferees further note that the ESPA commits 

the United States and Afghanistan to initiate negotiations of a 

Bilateral Security Agreement, with the goal of concluding that

(Public Law 110-181), as amended, for the Secretary of Defense 

to reimburse coalition nations for support provided to U.S. 

military operations, and provide other specified support to 

these nations. The provision would limit the amount of fiscal 

year 2013 funds available to provide reimbursements and other 

support under section 1233 of Public Law 110-181 (known as 

“Coalition Support Funds”) to no more than $1.65 billion. The 

provision would also limit the portion of Coalition Support 

Funds that may be provided to Pakistan to no more than $650.0 

million during fiscal year 2013. In addition, the provision 

would restrict Coalition Support Fund payments to Pakistan until 

the Secretary of Defense provides to the congressional defense 

committees certain specified reports and certifications 

regarding Pakistan and its cooperation in counterterrorism 

efforts. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1216) that would extend for fiscal year 2013 and modify the

military equipment and supplies. The provision would also 

require that, prior to any Coalition Support Fund reimbursements 

to Pakistan during fiscal year 2013, the Secretary of Defense 

would have to make certain certifications to the congressional 

defense committees regarding Pakistan and its support to 

counterterrorism operations. The Secretary would be authorized 

to waive the certification requirements if the Secretary 

determines that doing so is in the U.S. national security 

interest.

amount of fiscal year 2013 funds available for Coalition Support 

Fund payments to $1.65 billion. The amendment would also limit

The amendment would require the Secretary of Defense, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit a report to 

the congressional defense committees on the provision of 
268 

reimbursements and other support to Pakistan. 

 The conferees note that the amendment would retain the 

certification requirement with regard to Coalition Support Fund 

payments to Pakistan, with a number of clarifications to the 

certification provisions. The amendment would also retain the 

national security waiver applicable to the certification 

requirement. Finally, the amendment would include the 

prohibition on reimbursements to Pakistan for any claims arising 

during a period when the ground lines of supply through Pakistan 

to Afghanistan were closed. 

Extension and modification of Pakistan Counterinsurgency Fund 

(sec. 1228) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1217) that would

Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of 

State, must submit to the appropriate congressional committees 

an update to the section 1220(b) report on a strategy for 

utilizing the PCF and the metrics for measuring the progress of 

that strategy. The provision would additionally restrict the 

availability of PCF funds to no more than 10 percent of amounts 

appropriated or transferred to the PCF until 30 days after the 

Secretary of Defense submits to the appropriate congressional 

committees the update to the section 1220(b) report. 

 The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1219) that 

would restrict the use of funds authorized to be appropriated by 

this Act for the PCF until the Secretary of Defense certifies to 

the appropriate congressional committees that Pakistan is 

committed to and implementing a strategy to counter improvised 

explosive devices (IEDs). The Secretary would be authorized to 

waive the certification requirement if the Secretary determines 

doing so is in the national security interest of the United 

States. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1215) that 

would extend through fiscal year 2013 the PCF authority under 

section 1220 of Public Law 111-84, as amended. The provision 

would also extend for 1 year the limitations of section 1220 of 

Public Law 112-81 that restrict the availability of PCF funds to 

no more than 40 percent of amounts available to the Fund during 
269 

fiscal year 2013 until the Secretary of Defense submits the 

section 1220(b) report. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 

PCF authority through fiscal year 2013 and extend for 1 year the 

limitations on the availability of PCF funds under section 1220 

of Public Law 112-81. In addition, the amendment would require 

that before any of the funds authorized to be appropriated for 

or transferred into the PCF may be used, the Secretary of 

Defense must certify to the appropriate congressional committees 

that: (1) Pakistan is demonstrating a continuing commitment to 

and making significant efforts to implement a counter-IED 

strategy, and (2) Pakistan is cooperating with U.S. 

counterterrorism efforts, including by not detaining, 

prosecuting or imprisoning Pakistani citizens as a result of 

their cooperation with such efforts, including Dr. Shakil 

Afridi, the doctor who assisted in efforts to track down Osama 

bin Laden. Under the amendment the Secretary of Defense would 

be authorized to waive the certification if the Secretary 

determines that doing so is in the national security interest of 

the United States. 

Subtitle C—Matters Relating to Iran 

Report on United States capabilities in relation to China, North 

Korea, and Iran (sec. 1231)

requiring an annex to the military power report on Iran in which

authority under already existing law to employ such sanctions. 

 

Imposition of sanctions with respect to the sale, supply, or 

transfer of certain materials to or from Iran (sec. 1245) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1265) that

in this subsection and would not affect the President’s 

authority under already existing law to employ such sanctions.

underwriting services or insurance or reinsurance for activities 

of persons with respect to which sanctions have been imposed 

(sec. 1246) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1266) that 

would impose sanctions contained in the Iran Sanction Act of 

1996 (Public Law 104-172), as amended, on: (1) any insurance or 

reinsurance provider or underwriter that knowingly provides 

underwriting service, insurance, or reinsurance for activities 

for which sanctions have been imposed under current law; (2) to 

any person in the energy, shipping, or ship-building sector in 

Iran; (3) transactions involving the materials covered in 

section 1245; (4) any person designated on the SDN List in 

connection with proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or 

support for terrorism; and (5) any other person on the SDN List, 

with certain limited exceptions. The provision would provide 

waivers for transactions involving humanitarian goods, a due 

diligence exception for underwriters, insurers, and reinsurers, 

as well as a Presidential waiver for interests vital to the 

national security of the United States. 

The House bill contained no similar provision.

time for which a Presidential waiver is in effect; and (4) make 

a number of technical and clarifying modifications.

in this subsection and would not affect the President’s 

authority under already existing law to employ such sanctions. 

Imposition of sanctions with respect to foreign financial 

institutions that facilitate financial transactions on behalf of 

specially designated nationals (sec. 1247) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1267) that 

would prohibit the opening of or impose strict conditions on the 

maintaining of a correspondent account or a payable-through 

account in the United States by a foreign financial institution 

that the President determines has knowingly facilitated a 

significant financial transaction on behalf of any Iranian 

person included on the SDN List. The provision would provide 

exceptions for humanitarian transactions, certain financial 

institutions, petroleum sales permitted under section 1245 of 

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 

(Public Law 112-81), and certain natural gas sales. The 

provision would also provide a Presidential waiver of sanctions 

for interests vital to the national security of the United 

States. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) 

increase the number of days after enactment of this Act that 

this provision would take effect to 180 days; (2) increase to 

180 days the period of time for which a Presidential waiver is

President to determine the same. The provision would also 

designate and sanction the IRIB and the President of the IRIB, 

Ezzatollah Zargami, on account of human rights violations. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
275 

President to impose sanctions on IRIB, as well as its President, 

Ezzatollah Zargami, under the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, 

Accountability, and Divestment Act (CISADA) of 2010 (Public Law 

111-195; 22 U.S.C. 8511 et seq.); include them on the SDN List 

and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset 

Control; and incorporate appropriate administrative provisions. 

The conferees note the exclusion of import sanctions in 

this section would only pertain to the new authorities provided 

in this subsection and would not affect the President’s 

authority under already existing law to employ such sanctions. 

Imposition of sanctions with respect to persons engaged in the 

diversion of goods intended for the people of Iran (sec. 1249)

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by 

inserting an additional determination the President is required 

to make when issuing a waiver of sanctions with respect to 

petroleum transactions. Under the provision, the President 

would also be required, prior to issuing a waiver of sanctions, 

to certify that the country with primary jurisdiction over the 

foreign financial institution otherwise subject to the sanctions 

faced exceptional circumstances that prevented the country from 
276 

being able to significantly reduce its volume of crude oil

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes with a technical amendment.

subtitle. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision.

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1274) that 

would establish that nothing in this subtitle shall apply with 

respect to any activity described in subsection (a) of section

sanctions with respect to Iran. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes. 

Subtitle E—Satellites and Related Items 

Authority to remove satellites and related components and 

technology from the United States Munitions List (secs. 1261-

1267) 

 The House bill contained a provision (subtitle E, sec. 

1241) that would grant authority to the President, after making 

certain determinations, to remove commercial satellites and 

related components and technology from the United States 

Munitions List (USML), consistent with the requirements to 

notify and consult with Congress under section 38(f) of the Arms 

Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778) regarding the removal of any 

defense item from the USML. The House provision would also 

prohibit the export of commercial satellites and related 

components and technology to the People’s Republic of China, 

North Korea, currently named state sponsors of terrorism, and 

other countries on which there are regulatory arms export 

restrictions. 

The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1242) that 

require a quarterly report from the President on licenses and 

other authorizations for such items subsequently listed on the 

Commerce Control List (CCL). 
278 

 The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1243) that 

amends section 38(f) of the Arms Export Control Act to modify 

the information to be provided in connection with notifications 

when the President seeks to move items from the USML. 

 The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1244) that 

require a report on the extent to which the CCL has exemptions 

from country-wide licensing requirements. 

 The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1245) that 

provide for end-use monitoring for certain CCL items and 

required a report. 

 The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1246) that 

require that all relevant departments concur to any future 

changes to Category XV of the USML (relating to spacecraft 

systems and associated equipment) and require an annual report 

on the reviews conducted in readying such concurrence. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike 

section 1241(a) of the House bill and replace it with a repeal 

of section 1513(a) of Subtitle B of Title XV of the Strom 

Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 

(Public Law 105-261). The effect of this repeal would be that 

the satellites and related items that were on the CCL on the 

date of the enactment of Public Law 105-261 and, thereafter, 

were transferred to the USML pursuant to section 1513(a) and 

controlled under the Arms Export Control Act, may be transferred 

back to the CCL, subject to certain determinations. The 

conferees note that this repeal would not change the regulatory 

structure and obligations that currently apply for existing 

licenses or submitted applications under the authority of the 

International Traffic in Arms Regulations ((ITAR), 22 C.F.R. 

part 120 et seq.). The conferees believe further regulatory 

action, subject to the conditions set out in this provision, 

will have to be taken to change such structure and obligations. 

The conferees note that nothing in the conference agreement 

would obviate the requirement to submit to Congress the report 

required under section 38(f) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 

U.S.C. 2778(f)) for any item removed from the USML as a result 

of the enactment of the conference agreement. 

 The amendment would further amend the prohibition in 

section 1241(c) of the House bill on the export, transfer, retransfer, or re-export on commercial satellites and related 

items to China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or any 

other country under a U.S. arms embargo pursuant to section 

126.1 of the ITAR to comport with the repeal in subsection (a) 

of the amendment, adding a Presidential waiver of the 

prohibition to be consistent with other provisions of export 

control law; and striking the ITAR 126.1 prohibition and 
279 

replacing it with a presumption of denial of any such export to 

a country with respect to which the United States maintains a 

comprehensive arms embargo. The amendment would also provide 

for a reporting requirement to certain congressional committees 

regarding efforts by certain countries to illicitly obtain 

satellites and related items. The conferees expect the Director 

of National Intelligence to ensure protection of sources and 

methods in preparing such report. 

 The conferees note that this amendment would explicitly 

state that the prohibition applies to all such satellites and 

items subject to the Export Administration Regulations, whether 

or not specifically enumerated on the CCL. The conferees note 

that in ongoing compliance matters concerning the re-transfer of 

U.S. technology to China, certain such items had been designated 

by the Department of Commerce as EAR-99. The conferees do not 

intend for this provision to affect ongoing compliance matters, 

which the conferees expect will be pursued with all available 

diligence. Thus, the amendment would also specify that no items 

transferred as a result of the enactment of this Act may be 

launched in China, North Korea, or a designated state sponsor of 

terrorism, or as part of a launch vehicle owned, operated, or 

manufactured by any such government, or persons or entities 

acting on their behalf. The amendment would permit, however, 

the President to waive these particular prohibitions on a caseby-case basis, with advance notice to Congress. The conferees 

note that the President is already permitted to waive similar 

restrictions on exports of USML items to China, and for 

satellites and related items to China for launch, on launch 

vehicles owned by China that are contained in section 902 of the 

Foreign Relations Authorization Act of Fiscal Years 1990 and 

1991 (Public Law 101-246), which would be intentionally 

unchanged by this provision. Section 1515 of Public Law 105-

261, which will remain in force, requires that each time the 

President seeks to waive those restrictions on the export to 

China of any satellite of United States origin or related items, 

the President must accompany the required report with a detailed 

justification setting forth numerous justifications related to 

the export, including why the proposed launch is in the national 

security interest of the United States and what the impact of 

the proposed export will be on employment in the United States. 

The conferees stress that this amendment would intentionally 

leave those matters unchanged. The conferees also note that the 

aforementioned waiver for exporting satellites and related items 

has not been used since the late 1990s, owing to concerns about 

Chinese missile and other proliferation activities and human 

rights violations. The conferees find it difficult to envision 

a scenario under current circumstances in which a President 
280 

would utilize the waiver authority that would be provided in the 

amendment. 

 The amendment would also modify the requirements of the 

report from the President on licenses and other authorizations 

for satellites and related items subsequently listed on the CCL. 

 Furthermore, the amendment would largely retain, but 

modify, reporting requirements on country exemptions for 

licensing of certain satellites and related items and end-use 

monitoring. 

 The amendment would require that all relevant agencies 

review regulations proposing changes to Category XV of the USML. 

This provision would ensure that all relevant agencies cooperate 

in making determinations regarding the level of control to be 

accorded to space technology. The conferees believe special 

concern is warranted because in the past, certain items related 

to satellites were treated as EAR99 items, meaning no license 

was required and therefore no substantive ability to deny reexports of such items existed. 

 The amendment would also add a rule of construction to make 

clear that, notwithstanding the repeal of section 1513(a), the 

remaining provisions of Subtitle B of title XV of Public Law 

105-261, which apply to “satellites and related items” without 

reference to such items’ regulatory coverage under the USML or 

the CCL, continue to apply to satellites and related items 

subject to the Export Administration Regulations. The conferees 

expect that notifications required to be provided by the 

Department of Commerce pursuant to section 1514(a)(7) of Public 

Law 105-261 for satellites and related items made subject to the 

jurisdiction of the Export Administration Regulations as a 

result of this amendment would be made prior to the issuance of 

any such license. The conferees note that nothing in this Act 

shall be construed as removing or limiting existing authorities 

of the President under Public Law 105-261 with respect to 

defense articles and defense services that remain subject to the 

jurisdiction of the ITAR or to otherwise take such actions as 

are necessary to implement requirements for improving national 

security controls in the export licensing of satellites, launch 

vehicles, and related items. 

Subtitle F-Other Matters 

Additional elements in annual report on military and security 

developments involving the People’s Republic of China (sec. 

1271) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1231) that would 

modify the elements required to be included in the annual report 
281 

on the military and security developments involving the People’s 

Republic of China and would also require a combatant commander’s 

assessment of gaps in capabilities. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1232). 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that modifies some of 

the elements required to be included in future reports. The 

amendment would also remove the requirement for a combatant 

commander assessment and consolidate the requirement for an 

assessment into another section of this Act for fiscal year 

2013, as part of a broader report from the Chairman of the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff regarding gaps in capabilities. 

NATO Special Operations Headquarters (sec. 1272) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1234) that would 

extend through fiscal year 2013 the authority contained in 

section 1244 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as amended, for the 

Secretary of Defense to provide up to $50.0 million per year to 

support the operations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

(NATO) Special Operations Headquarters (NSHQ). The House 

provision would also prohibit the Secretary from obligating or 

expending more than 50 percent of the funds available for fiscal 

year 2013 until 30 days after the Secretary finalizes and 

formalizes the United States Special Operations Command as the 

lead component with executive agent responsibilities for the 

NSHQ. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 342) that 

would make permanent the authority of the Secretary to provide 

up to $50.0 million in any fiscal year to support the operations 

of the NSHQ. The Senate provision would also require an annual 

report describing the activities of the NSHQ and summarizing the 

support provided to the NSHQ by the U.S. and other NATO member 

countries. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend 

through fiscal year 2015 the authority of the Secretary to 

provide up to $50.0 million per year to support the operations 

of the NSHQ and require an annual report describing the 

activities of the NSHQ and summarizing the support provided to 

the NSHQ by the U.S. and other NATO member countries. 

 The conferees continue to see great value in the ability of 

the NSHQ to enhance the capabilities and interoperability of 

NATO Special Operations Forces consistent with the purposes 

specified in section 1244 of Public Law 111-84. The conferees 

also believe the extension of this authority through fiscal year 

2015 will enable continued support of the NSHQ through a 
282 

critical period as responsibility for security in Afghanistan 

transitions from the International Security Assistance Force to 

the Afghan National Security Forces by the end of 2014. Lastly, 

the conferees believe, barring an exceptional and compelling 

justification, that additional modifications to this authority 

should not be necessary prior to fiscal year 2015 and look 

forward to considering a request from the Secretary for 

continued U.S. support to the NSHQ at the appropriate time. 

Sustainability requirements for certain capital projects in 

connection with overseas contingency operations (sec. 1273) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1245) that 

would establish requirements for future overseas contingency 

operations that the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department 

of State (DOS) and the United States Agency for International 

Development (USAID) conduct detailed assessments of the 

necessity and sustainability of capital projects above certain 

specified cost thresholds prior to carrying out any such 

project. The Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, or 

the Administrator of USAID, as applicable, would be authorized 

to waive the limitations of this section to initiate a project 

if the determination is made that doing so is in U.S. national 

security, diplomatic, or humanitarian interests, but a 

sustainability assessment would still have to be conducted 

subsequently. The provision would also require detailed, semiannual reporting on each capital project subject to this 

section. 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1239) that would 

require that, for certain specified infrastructure projects, the 

head of a federal department or agency responsible for carrying 

out the project must submit to Congress, not later than 60 days 

prior to the project’s commencement, a plan for carrying out and 

sustaining the project. Projects covered by this provision 

would be infrastructure projects in a foreign country for which 

the United States is contributing not less than $1.0 million 

from funds available for overseas contingency operations. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Administration of the American, British, Canadian, and 

Australian Armies’ Program (sec. 1274) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1241) that 

would authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into costsharing agreements with the countries participating in the 

American, British, Canadian, and Australian (ABCA) Armies’ 

Program. The provision would allow the Department of Defense to 
283 

accept contributions from the other participating countries to 

pay their equitable share of the costs associated with the ABCA 

Armies’ Program. The authority provided under this provision 

would sunset after 5 years. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

United States participation in Headquarters Eurocorps (sec. 

1275) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1242) that 

would authorize the participation of members of the armed forces 

as members of the staff of Headquarters Eurocorps to support the 

North Atlantic Treaty Organization activities of that corps. 

U.S. participation on the staff would be limited to 2 service 

members until the Secretary of Defense submits a report to the 

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives on the plans, benefits, and costs of such 

participation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to notify the Committees on Armed Services 

of the Senate and the House of Representatives if the number of 

members of the armed forces participating on the staff of the 

Headquarters Eurocorps will exceed 10 members. 

Department of Defense participation in European program on 

multilateral exchange of air transportation and air refueling 

services (sec. 1276) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1243) that 

would allow the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of 

the Secretary of State, to authorize U.S. participation in the 

Air Transport, Air-to-Air Refueling and other Exchanges of 

Services (ATARES) program of the Movement Coordination Centre 

Europe. The program would allow for the exchange or transfer of 

air transportation and air refueling services among ATARES 

program participants. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Prohibition on use of funds to enter into contracts or 

agreements with Rosoboronexport (sec. 1277) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would 

require that any U.S.-funded contract to procure helicopters for 

the Afghan Security Forces must be awarded using competitive 
284 

procedures. The provision would also prohibit the Secretary of 

Defense from awarding a contract, directly or indirectly, to any 

entity controlled, directed, or influenced by: (1) a country 

that has provided weapons to Syria after the enactment of the 

Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 

2003 (Public Law 108-175); or (2) any country that is a state 

sponsor of terrorism. The Secretary of Defense would be 

authorized to waive the requirements of the provision if the 

Secretary determines that doing so is in the U.S. national 

security interests. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1050) that 

would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated by 

this Act to enter into a contract or provide a loan to the 

Russian state corporation, Rosoboronexport. The provision would 

allow the Secretary of Defense to waive this prohibition if in 

the U.S. national security interests. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Sense of Congress on Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system 

(sec. 1278) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250) that 

would express the sense of Congress in support of the Israeli 

Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Bilateral defense trade relationship with India (sec. 1279) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1252) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to report on certain 

elements of the United States defense trade relationship with 

India and would require a comprehensive review of the 

feasibility of co-production and co-development of defense 

projects with India. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require 

coordination with the Secretary of State and would modify 

certain elements of the report. 

 The conferees believe that the bilateral defense trade 

relationship with India is important to both countries and that 

the United States government must work to advance that 

relationship in a variety of areas. In particular, the 

conferees urge the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State 

and other relevant United States officials to take the following 

actions: 

 (1) review all United States-India bilateral working 
285 

groups dealing with high technology transfers, including 

technology security and licensing for dual-use and 

munitions licenses to determine the feasibility of 

establishing a single United States working group dedicated 

to strategic and technology trade; 

 (2) engage counterparts in the Government of India in a 

dialogue on the current challenges related to compatibility 

of the Foreign Military Sales and direct commercial sale 

programs with the Indian Defense Procurement Procedure; 

 (3) engage counterparts in the Government of India in a 

dialogue about elements of an effective defense industrial 

base, including personnel training, quality assurance, and 

manufacturing procedures; 

(4) consider the establishment of orientation programs for 

new Indian defense officials to learn about procedures for 

United States defense sales; and 

(5) continue and deepen ongoing efforts to assist the 

Government of India in developing defense acquisition 

expertise by assisting with the development of training 

institutions and human capital. 

United States Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (sec. 

1280) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5023) that 

would reauthorize and modify the responsibilities of the United 

Sates Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy through fiscal 

year 2014. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 

underlying provision to reauthorize the United States Advisory 

Commission on Public Diplomacy through fiscal year 2015, as well 

as additional technical and clarifying modifications. 

Sense of Congress on sale of aircraft to Taiwan (sec. 1281) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240) that would 

require the President to sell F-16C/D aircraft to Taiwan. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 

the requirement for the sale of F-16C/D aircraft but express the 

sense of Congress that the President should take steps to 

address Taiwan’s shortfall in fighter aircraft. 

 The conferees note that in an unclassified assessment dated 

January 21, 2010, and provided to the congressional defense 

committees by the Department of Defense pursuant to a 

requirement in the conference report (Conf. Rept. 111-288) 
286 

accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), the Defense Intelligence Agency 

stated, among other things, that although Taiwan had almost 400 

combat aircraft, far fewer were operationally capable, and that 

Taiwan's F-5 fighters have reached the end of their operational 

service life. The conferees note further that the 

administration acknowledged, in a widely-circulated letter dated 

April 27, 2012, that Taiwan is experiencing a growing shortfall 

in fighter aircraft, even with the F-16 A/B upgrades made 

available to Taiwan in September 2011. Despite this shortfall, 

however, the conferees are not aware of any plan by the 

administration to address Taiwan’s fighter aircraft needs, 

whether through the sale of F-16C/D or otherwise. Accordingly, 

the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 

with the Secretary of State, to ensure that a briefing is 

prepared and made available to the congressional defense 

committees and other interested committees, not later than April 

15, 2013, that explains the administration’s plan for meeting 

the statutory requirements of the Taiwan Relations Act (Public 

Law 96-8) regarding ensuring that Taiwan air forces can 

contribute appropriately to the defense of Taiwan. 

Briefings on dialogue between the United States and the Russian 

Federation on nuclear arms, missile defense, and long-range 

conventional strike systems (sec. 1282) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1074) that 

would require the executive branch to provide briefings, not 

less than twice per year, to the Senate Foreign Relations 

Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee on the 

dialogue between the United States and the Russian Federation on 

issues related to limits or controls on nuclear arms, missile 

defense systems, or long-range conventional strike systems. The 

provision would also express the sense of the Senate that 

certain agreements may be made only pursuant to the treatymaking power of the President. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would add a rule 

of construction to clarify that nothing in the provision shall 

be construed to be inconsistent with or to interfere with the 

practices, precedents, or oversight of the House of 

Representatives.

Sense of Congress on efforts to remove or apprehend Joseph Kony 

from battlefield and end the atrocities of the Lord’s Resistance 

Army (sec. 1283) 
287 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1246) that 

would express the sense of the Senate on ongoing U.S. military 

efforts to support the apprehension or removal of Joseph Kony 

and his top commanders from the battlefield and end atrocities 

perpetrated by his Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 

provision to make it a sense of Congress and make other 

technical modifications. 

 The conferees note that the President notified Congress in 

October 2011 of Operation Observant Compass (OOC), an operation 

to support the efforts of Ugandan and other regional militaries 

to remove Joseph Kony and other senior leaders of the LRA from 

the battlefield in Central Africa, and his decision to send 

approximately 100 U.S. Special Operations Forces Personnel to 

Central Africa help regional partners achieve these goals. 

The conferees support U.S. Africa Command’s (AFRICOM) 

ongoing operation in Central Africa to advise and assist 

regional partners and will continue to resource these efforts in 

order to ensure the mission achieves its stated objectives. 

The conferees note that this Act would provide an 

additional $50.0 million to enhance the intelligence, 

surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) support to AFRICOM's OOC. 

While the conferees intend for a majority portion of these 

additional funds to be used to improve ISR collection 

capabilities, the conferees recognize the importance of 

improving other aspects of ISR support to OOC. The conferees 

believe the “find” portion of the “find-fix-finish” intelligence 

cycle requires focused interagency and multi-disciplinary 

approaches to develop an intelligence strategy tied to 

operations on the ground to successfully locate Kony and other 

top LRA commanders. As such, the conferees support the use of a 

portion of these additional funds to improve other aspects of 

ISR support to OOC, including intelligence exploitation, 

analysis, dissemination, and sharing. 

Additionally, the conferees expect that the Deputy Under 

Secretary of Defense for Warfighter Support and Director of the 

ISR Task Force, in coordination with the Director for Emerging 

Capabilities and Technology Investments will manage this ISR 

initiative, in support of AFRICOM. The conferees believe the 

ISR Task Force has provided critical support to operations in 

the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in recent years 

and believe that support to OOC is an opportunity for the ISR 

Operations and Global Support Directorate of the Deputy Under 

Secretary of Defense for Warfighter Support to demonstrate 

similar capabilities in support of another combatant commands 

with unmet ISR requirements. 
288 

Lastly, the conferees expect to receive frequent updates on 

the allocation of funds authorized and appropriated for ISR 

support to OOC and the role these additional capabilities will 

play in an integrated intelligence strategy. 

Imposition of sanctions with respect to support for the rebel 

group known as M23 (sec. 1284) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1247) that 

would impose sanctions with respect to persons that provide 

significant financial, material, or technical support to the 

rebel group known as M23 operating in the Democratic Republic of 

the Congo. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 

subsection (g) to include the Committees on Armed Services of 

the Senate and the House of Representatives in the definition of 

the appropriate congressional committees, make technical 

modifications and modify the sanctions termination clause. 

 The exclusion of import sanctions in this section pertains 

only to the new authorities provided in this subsection and does 

not affect the President’s authority under already existing law 

to employ such sanctions. 

Pilot program on repair, overhaul, and refurbishment of defense 

articles for sale or transfer to eligible foreign countries and 

entities (sec. 1285) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1248) that 

would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot 

program to repair, overhaul, or refurbish in-stock defense 

articles in anticipation of their sale or transfer to eligible 

foreign countries or international organizations. The provision 

would also authorize the establishment of a fund, called the 

Special Defense Repair Fund, to support the program. The 

provision would limit the total amount in the Fund at any time 

to not more than $50.0 million. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments. 

 The conferees expect the Department of Defense to keep the 

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives apprised as the fund is established and the 

program is implemented. 

Sense of Congress on the situation in the Senkaku Islands (sec. 

1286) 
289 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1251) that 

would express the sense of the Senate regarding the situation in 

the Senkaku Islands. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would express the 

Senate provision as a sense of Congress. 

Subtitle G-Reports 

Review and reports on Department of Defense efforts to build the 

capacity of and partner with foreign security forces (sec. 1291) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1231) that 

would require the Defense Policy Board to assess Department of 

Defense (DOD) efforts to build the capacity of, and partner 

with, foreign security forces in support of U.S. national 

security and defense strategies. The provision would require the 

Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense 

committees on the results of the Defense Policy Board review. 

The provision would also require that the Secretary of Defense, 

taking into account the recommendations of the Defense Policy 

Board review, to report to the congressional defense committees 

on the Department’s strategic guidance for its efforts to build 

the capacity of, and partner with, foreign military forces in 

support of U.S. national security and defense strategies. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Additional report on military and security developments 

involving the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (sec. 1292) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that would 

require an additional report on the military and security 

developments involving the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 

and would also require a combatant commander’s assessment of 

gaps in capabilities. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that removes the 

requirement for a combatant commander assessment and 

consolidates the requirement for an assessment into another 

section of this Act, as part of a broader report from the 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff regarding gaps in 

capabilities. 

Report on host nation support for overseas United States 

military installations and United States Armed Forces deployed 

in country (sec. 1293) 
290 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 

Secretary of State, to submit a report to the appropriate 

congressional committees not later than March 1 of each year 

from 2013 through 2015, on the direct, indirect, and burden 

sharing contributions made by host nations in support of U.S. 

Armed Forces deployed in country. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Report on military activities to deny or significantly degrade 

the use of air power against civilian and opposition groups in 

Syria (sec. 1294)

would require a report on military activities to deny or 

significantly degrade the use of air power against civilian and 

opposition groups in Syria. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Report on military assistance provided by Russia to Syria (sec. 

1295) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1303) that would 

limit Cooperative Threat Reduction funding to Russia until the 

Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of 

State, certifies to the congressional defense committees that 

Russia is not providing direct or indirect support to the Syrian 

government to suppress the Syrian people and that Russia is not 

providing equipment and technology to Syria, Iran, or North 

Korea that have the potential to make a material contribution to 

the development of weapons of mass destruction or cruise or 

ballistic missile systems controlled under multilateral control 

lists. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 

report, not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 

this Act, by the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 

Secretary of State, on military assistance provided by the 

Russian Federation to Syria. The report would also include the 

types of direct or indirect military support and a description 

and analysis of Russia’s military interest presence in Syria. 

 The conferees note that a report on Cooperative Threat 

Reduction efforts with Russia is required elsewhere in this Act. 
291 

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Codification of National Guard State Partnership Program 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 335) that would 

codify the National Guard Bureau’s (NGB) State Partnership 

Program (SPP). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Strategy for supporting the achievement of a secure presidential 

election in Afghanistan in 2014 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1218) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 

Secretary of State, to develop a strategy for supporting the 

Government of Afghanistan in its efforts to provide for the 

security of the 2014 Afghan presidential elections. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. The conferees note that a separate 

provision of this Act amends the reporting requirements under 

section 1230 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) to require detailed 

information on preparations to provide security for the Afghan 

presidential elections in 2014, including efforts to train a 

sufficient number of female members of the Afghan National 

Security Forces and to provide security for polling places and 

election personnel as necessary to safely carry out the 

elections, including the participation of women. 

Limitation on use of funds under the Pakistan Counterinsurgency 

Fund 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1219) that would 

restrict the use of funds authorized to be appropriated by this 

Act for the Pakistan Counterinsurgency Fund (PCF) until the 

Secretary of Defense certifies to the appropriate congressional 

committees that Pakistan is committed to and implementing a 

strategy to counter improvised explosive devices (IEDs), 

including attacking IED networks, monitoring precursors used in 

IEDs, and developing regulations for the manufacture of certain 

materials, including calcium ammonium nitrate, and their supply 

to legitimate end users. The Secretary would be authorized to 

waive the certification requirement if the Secretary determines 

doing so is in the national security interest of the United 

States. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 
292 

 The House recedes. The conferees note that the 

restrictions contained in this provision of the House bill are 

included in another provision of this title that extends and 

modifies the authority for the PCF for fiscal year 2013. 

United States military preparedness in the Middle East 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that would 

recognize the importance of conducting military exercises and 

maintaining a high-level state of readiness in the Middle East 

to the national security of the United States and its allies. 

The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 

submit to the congressional defense committees a plan to 

strengthen the presence of the United States Armed Forces in the 

Middle East. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to 

continue to ensure that a full range of options for various 

contingencies in the region are available to the President. 

Additionally, the conferees note that the last update 

received on these matters was in 2011, in conjunction with the 

quarterly readiness report required by section 482 of title 10, 

United States Code (10 U.S.C. 482), in which the Secretary of 

Defense provided information on the overall readiness of U.S. 

Armed Forces in the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of 

responsibility to counter threats from Iran. As such, the 

conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the 

next report required under 10 U.S.C. 482, includes a discussion 

of the operational readiness, military exercises, and resource 

requirements associated with CENTCOM’s ability to respond to a 

full range of contingencies involving Iran, including its threat 

to close the Strait of Hormuz. 

Enhancing the defense of Israel and United States interests in 

the Middle East 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1224) that would 

express the sense of Congress about the need for the United 

States to take certain measures to assist in the defense of 

Israel and require a series of reports regarding Israel’s 

qualitative military edge, as well as a report on efforts to 

expand cooperation between the United States and Israel. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that President Barack Obama signed into 

law the United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act 
293 

(Public Law 112-150) on July 27, 2012. This public law 

incorporated the underlying reporting requirements in the House 

provision. The conferees support strongly the United StatesIsrael Enhanced Security Cooperation Act. 

Plan to increase strategic regional partnerships

direct the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to increase 

strategic partnerships and access agreements with regional

 The House recedes. 

Definitions

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Report on the implementation by the Government of Bahrain of the 

recommendations by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1233) that 

would require a report by the Secretary of State on the 

implementation by the Government of Bahrain of the 

recommendations contained in the Bahrain Independent Commission 

of Inquiry. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees direct the Secretary of State, no later than 

180 days after enactment of this Act, to submit to the 

Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 

Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 

Representatives a report on the implementation by the Government 

of Bahrain of the recommendations contained in the Report of the 

Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry. The report required 

shall include: (1) a description of the specific steps taken by 

the Government of Bahrain to implement each of the 26 

recommendations contained in the Report of the Bahrain 

Independent Commission of Inquiry; (2) an assessment of whether 

each recommendation has been fully complied with by the 

Government of Bahrain; and (3) an assessment of the impact of 

the findings of the Report of the Bahrain Independent Commission 
294 

of Inquiry on progress toward democracy and respect for human 

rights in Bahrain. 

 The conferees support the longstanding partnership between 

the U.S. and the Kingdom of Bahrain and note that the Naval

weapons stockpiles; and (3) current activities to provide 

assistance to Syria’s political opposition. 

Reports on exports of missile defense technology to certain 

countries 

 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1235) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to submit reports to Congress 

on the types of assistance provided by the Department of Defense 

to countries that export certain space and missile-related 

technologies, and a description of such exports to other 

countries with certain space and missile-related programs. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Limitation on funds to provide the Russian Federation with 

access to missile defense technology 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1236) that would 

prohibit the availability of funds from being used to provide 

classified ballistic missile defense technology and data of the 

United States to the Russian Federation. The provision would 
295 

also limit the availability of funds to provide other ballistic 

missile technology and data of the United States to the Russian 

Federation unless the President meets certain reporting 

requirements. 

 The Senate amendment contained a related provision (sec. 

233) that would state it is the sense of Congress that it is in 

the national security interests of the United States to pursue 

efforts at missile defense cooperation with Russia that would 

enhance security, including the sharing of classified United 

States missile defense information. 

 The conference agreement does not include either of these 

provisions. 

Limitation on assistance to provide tear gas or other riot 

control items 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1238) that would 

prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act to be 

used to provide tear gas or other riot control items to the 

government of a country undergoing a transition to democracy in 

the Middle East or North Africa unless the Secretary of Defense 

certifies to certain congressional committees that the security 

forces of such governments are not using excessive force to 

repress peaceful, lawful, and organized dissent. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that such items are typically purchased 

via direct commercial sale, not with funds from the Department 

of Defense, and that the Secretary of State has prevented the 

sale and transfer of such items in certain cases. 

Limitation on funds for United States participation in joint 

military exercises with Egypt 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240c) that 

would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 

from being made available for United States participation in 

joint military exercises with Egypt if the Government of Egypt 

terminates or withdraws from the 1979 Israeli-Egypt peace 

treaty. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Limitation on funds for institutions or organizations 

established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the 

Sea
296 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240A) that 

would limit the use of funds for institutions or organizations 

established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the 

Sea. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 

Removal of Brigade Combat Teams from Europe 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240B) that 

would authorize and request the President to end the permanent 

basing of United States Armed Forces on the territory of North 

Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members nations in Europe 

and return the four Brigade Combat Teams currently stationed in 

Europe to the United States. The provision would also establish 

as U.S. policy that the deployment of armed forces on a 

rotational basis in Europe is a force structure arrangement 

sufficient to satisfy U.S. commitments under the North Atlantic 

Treaty, to address the current security environment, and 

contribute to peace and stability in Europe. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that there are significant advantages 

that come from European-based U.S. troops, including the 

opportunity to train regularly with ally and partner forces at 

U.S. training centers in Europe. The conferees further note, 

however, that the global strategic and U.S. fiscal environments 

require that the President and Congress carefully examine all 

overseas basing, including that in Europe, to determine what is 

the most effective overseas force posture for our national 

security at the lowest possible cost. The conferees therefore 

encourage the President and the Department of Defense to 

continue to look closely at the advantages and disadvantages 

associated with the forward deployment of U.S. troops in Europe 

and elsewhere. The conferees finally note that the President 

already has the authority to relocate U.S. forces based in 

Europe, making the authority that would be provided by the 

proposed section unnecessary. 

Authority to establish program to provide assistance to foreign 

civilians for harm incident to combat operations of the Armed 

Forces in foreign countries 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1244) that 

would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a program 

under which military commanders would be able, at their 

discretion, to provide assistance to foreign civilians who are 
297 

harmed incident to U.S. combat operations abroad. Any 

assistance provided under the program would be ex gratia and 

would not be considered an acknowledgement of any legal 

obligation to provide compensation. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that our military commanders have a 

number of authorities available to provide assistance to 

civilians who suffer harm in a combat zone. These include: 

• The Foreign Claims Act (FCA), which authorizes the payment 

of claims in connection with noncombat activities of U.S. 

military forces outside the United States. The FCA does 

not authorize compensation for losses resulting directly or 

indirectly from combat activities. 

• Solatia payments under section 2242 of title 10, United 

States Code, which authorizes payments to a victim or 

victim’s family to express sympathy for an injury or loss 

suffered, when such payments are consistent with the local 

custom. These payments are not claims payments and are not 

based on any acceptance of legal liability by the United 

States. 

• Commanders’ Emergency Response Program (CERP), which 

commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan have used to make ex 

gratia condolence or battle damage payments for harm caused 

by U.S. or coalition forces. Payments under CERP are 

provided as sympathy payments or to provide humanitarian 

relief to the victim or the victim’s family. 

 These authorities have contributed greatly to promoting 

goodwill with the local populace in combat zones. The conferees 

direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the operational 

plans for future contingency operations include, as appropriate, 

guidance on the authorities for and utilization of assistance to 

foreign civilians that are harmed incident to U.S. combat 

operations overseas.

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would include 

reporting requirements for the use of supplemental destruction 

technologies at Pueblo and Blue Grass. 

Subtitle D—Other Matters 

Reduction of unobligated balances within the Pentagon 

Reservation Maintenance Revolving Fund (sec. 1431) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1421) that would 

recommend a transfer of $26.0 million in unobligated balances 

contained in the Pentagon Reservation Maintenance Revolving Fund 

to the Treasury of the United States. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Authority for transfer of funds to Joint Department of DefenseDepartment of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration 

Fund for Captain James A. Lovell Health Care Center, Illinois 

(sec. 1432) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1422) that would 

authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer $139.2 million 

from the Defense Health Program to the Joint Department of 

Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility 

Demonstration Fund created by section 1704 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-

84) for the operations of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal 

Health Care Center. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 
301 

Authorization of appropriations for Armed Forces Retirement Home 

(sec. 1433) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1423) that would 

authorize $67.6 million to be appropriated for fiscal year 2013 

from the Armed Forces Retirement Home Trust Fund for the 

operation of the Armed Forces Retirement Home. 

 The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 

1431). 

The conference agreement includes this provision. 

Cemeterial expenses (sec. 1434) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1407) that would 

authorize appropriations for the Army Cemeterial Expenses for 

Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, at the level identified 

in section 4501 of division B. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

 The budget requested funds in the Army’s military 

construction account and operations and maintenance accounts for 

expansion at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC). The conferees 

note that the Army’s military construction account has 

historically not been used to authorize construction at ANC, and 

the conferees believes changing this precedent would not be in 

the best interest of ANC. 

 The conferees believe this funding is appropriately 

contained in the Cemeterial Expenses account and have therefore 

removed it from the military construction and operation and 

maintenance tables. This movement of funds should in no way be 

taken as a lack of support for expansion at ANC. 

 The conferees anticipate the appropriations committees of 

the Senate and the House of Representatives will move funding 

from the Army’s military construction and operation and 

maintenance accounts to Cemeterial Expenses consistent with the 

authorization contained in this Act. 

Additional Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (sec. 

1435) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1087) that would 

amend section 1043 of the Bob Stump National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) to 

authorize an additional two Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil 

Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) beyond the 55 previously authorized. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1432). 
302 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to provide notice to the congressional 

defense committees at least 90 days prior to disestablishing any 

of the 57 WMD-CSTs authorized by the provision. 

Legislative Provision Not Adopted

Policy of the United States with respect to a domestic supply of 

critical and essential minerals 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1433) that 

would establish a policy to promote the development of an 

adequate, reliable, and stable supply of critical and essential 

minerals in the United States. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the requirement for the inclusion 

of essential minerals was added into the modified strategy for 

the National Security Strategy for National Technology and 

Industrial Base section 2501 of title 10, United States Code. 

TITLE XV–AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL

provide the Department of Defense with $3.0 billion of special 

transfer authority in fiscal year 2013. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1522) that would provide the Department of Defense with $4.0 

billion special transfer authority in fiscal year 2013. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Subtitle C—Limitations and Other Matters 

Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (sec. 1531) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1533) that would 

extend through fiscal year 2013 the limitations under section 

1513 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 

2008 (Public Law 110-181), as amended, on the availability of 

funds for the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF). The 

provision would prohibit the use of fiscal year 2013 ASFF funds 

to support the Afghan Public Protection Force (APPF) until the 

Secretary of Defense makes a number of specific certifications 

to the congressional defense committees relating to the APPF, 

including with regard to the terms of the contracts entered into 

by the Department of Defense for APPF services; the level of 

support provided by the Afghan Ministry of Interior for the 

APPF; the conditions for end-use monitoring of APPF equipment; 

the mechanisms for controlling costs associated with APPF 

services; and the adequacy of APPF security for supply convoys. 

In addition, the provision would require the Secretary of 

Defense to conduct quarterly assessments of the APPF and report 

the results of those assessments to the congressional defense 

committees. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1531) that 

would extend for fiscal year 2013 the requirement that funds 

available for the ASFF be subject to the conditions specified in 

section 1513 of Public Law 110-181, as amended. The provision 

would also explicitly authorize the use of ASFF funds during 

fiscal year 2013 to increase the capacity of the APPF. In 

addition, the provision would require the Secretary of Defense 

to provide the congressional defense committees a plan for the 

continued use of the ASFF to build and sustain the Afghan 

National Security Forces (ANSF) through September 30, 2017. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to certify to the congressional defense 

committees, or report on why the certification cannot be made, 

regarding whether the APPF meets certain specified standards and 

whether the Commander, International Security Assistance 

Force/Commander United States Forces—Afghanistan has the ability 
306 

to exercise oversight over APPF personnel, in particular when 

those forces are providing force protection at bases where U.S. 

Armed Forces personnel are garrisoned or housed. The Secretary 

would be required to make such a certification or report on a 

semi-annual basis. The amendment would also require the 

Secretary of Defense to provide a detailed report to the 

congressional defense committees assessing the APPF. The 

amendment would require that after the initial assessment 

report, subsequent assessments of the APPF be provided on a 

semi-annual basis, and can be included as part of the report on 

progress toward security and stability in Afghanistan submitted 

under sections 1230 and 1231 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181). 

 The conference provision retains the requirement for a plan 

to use the ASFF to build and sustain the ANSF through September 

30, 2017. 

 The conferees urge the Department of Defense to engage with 

and encourage the APPF to take steps to meet all of the 

certification standards under this section that the Secretary of 

Defense determines the APPF have not met. 

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund (sec. 1532) 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1531) that would 

authorize annual transfer authorities, expand current reporting 

requirements, and other associated activities for the Joint 

Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund (JIEDDF). The provision 

would also authorize the Secretary of Defense, in concurrence 

with the Secretary of State, to use funds from the JIEDDF for 

the purposes of monitoring, disrupting, and interdicting the 

movement of explosive precursors from a country that borders 

Afghanistan to locations within Afghanistan. 

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1532) that would authorize various transfer authorities, 

reporting requirements, and other associated activities for the 

JIEDDF, as well as require these authorities to expire on 

December 31, 2013. The provision would also make available to 

the Secretary of Defense not more than $15.0 million from the 

JIEDDF to provide training, equipment, services, and supplies to 

the Government of Pakistan for the purposes of countering the 

flow of improvised explosive device (IED) chemical precursors 

from Pakistan into locations in Afghanistan, or the Secretary of 

Defense may transfer these funds to the head of another 

Department or agency of the United States to be administered by 

that Department or agency for the specific purpose of countering 

the flow of IED chemical precursors from Pakistan into 

Afghanistan. 
307 

The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 

two provisions with some modifications. The amendment would 

incorporate reporting requirements in the House bill; modify the 

expiration authority in the Senate amendment to only apply to 

the transfer authority; and adopt the limitation of the use of 

the JIEDDF for the particular purposes in the Senate amendment. 

The amendment would further require the Secretary to notify the 

congressional defense committees 15 days prior to obligating any 

funds and provide details on the specific training, equipment, 

services, and supplies to be provided to the Government of 

Pakistan, as well as include an evaluation of the effectiveness 

of efforts by the Government of Pakistan to counter the flow of 

IED chemical precursors into Afghanistan. 

The amendment would also direct the Joint Improvised 

Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) to provide prior 

notice to the congressional defense committees of the obligation 

of funds from the JIEDDF and would require JIEDDO to include any 

associated analysis of alternatives (AoA) conducted in the 

process of taking action to initiate any project for which the 

total obligation of funds from the JIEDDF will exceed $10.0 

million. 

The conferees understand JIEDDO currently conducts a 

comparative analysis throughout their rapid acquisition process 

for all initiatives. It is not the intent of the conferees to 

impede this process or delay fielding needed capability to the 

warfighter by requiring an AoA reporting requirement. The 

conferees only require a summary of the alternatives be prepared 

and forwarded to the congressional defense committees when this 

information is available as part of JIEDDO’s program development 

process. 

The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense to 

notify the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 

Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 

Senate as part of the notification requirement included in the 

amendment. 

One-year extension of project authority and related requirements 

of Task Force for Business and Stability Operations in 

Afghanistan (sec. 1533) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1532) that would 

extend for 1 year the authority under section 1535 of the Ike 

Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 

(Public Law 111-383), as amended, for the Department of Defense 

Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO). The 

provision would narrow the scope of projects that the TFBSO is 

authorized to carry out to those associated with Afghanistan’s 
308 

mining and mineral resources sector. The provision would also 

reduce the amount of funds available for TFBSO projects to $50.0 

million for fiscal year 2013. In addition, none of these funds 

would be available until the Secretary of Defense notifies the 

appropriate congressional committees that the activities of the 

TFBSO will be transitioned to the Department of State by 

September 30, 2013. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1534) that 

would extend for fiscal year 2013 the authority under section 

1535 of Public Law 111-383, as amended, for the TFBSO and 

authorize the use of up to $93.0 million to carry out TFBSO 

projects. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that extends the 

TFBSO’s authority through fiscal year 2013. Under the 

amendment, up to $93.0 million may be used for TFBSO projects, 

except that not more than $50.0 million may be available until 

the Secretary of Defense submits a report to the appropriate 

congressional committees on the implementation of the TFBSO 

Transition Action Plan that was submitted to the Armed Services 

Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives in May 

2012. The amendment does not include the restrictions in the 

House provision on the scope of projects that the TFBSO is 

authorized to carry out. 

Plan for transition in funding of United States Special 

Operations Command from supplemental funding for overseas 

contingency operations to recurring funding under the futureyears defense program (sec. 1534) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1533) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to provide the 

congressional defense committees, as part of the fiscal year 

2014 budget request, with a plan to fully transition appropriate 

U.S. Special Operations Command funding from the overseas 

contingency operations budget to the base budget over the 

future-years defense program to maintain critical and enduring 

special operations capabilities. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Secretary of Defense to provide the plan within 90 days of 

enactment of this Act. 

Assessment of counter-improvised explosive device training and 

intelligence activities of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device 

Defeat Organization and national and military intelligence 

Organizations (sec. 1535) 
309

would direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct assessments of 

the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization's 

(JIEDDO) training activities and intelligence activities. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 

elements of the assessments. 

 Six years after the Department of Defense (DOD) established 

JIEDDO as its coordinating agency to lead, advocate, and 

coordinate responses to the improvised explosive device (IED) 

threat across the Department, according to the Government 

Accountability Office, DOD continues to experience 

fragmentation, overlap, and duplication in its counter-IED 

efforts. The conferees believe the Secretary of Defense should, 

in consultation with the appropriate DOD elements, conduct 

comprehensive assessments of the training and intelligence 

activities of JIEDDO and identify any areas of duplication and 

make a determination of whether duplication of effort is 

necessary to ensure mission success. 

Legislative Provision Not Adopted

Limitation on the use of funds in Overseas Contingency 

Operations Transfer Fund 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1523) that would 

place limits on the use of funds in the Overseas Contingency 

Operations Transfer Fund in fiscal year 2013.

that the annual industrial base report submitted by the 

Secretary of Defense pursuant to that section include an 

assessment of the impact of foreign boycotts on the national 

technology and industrial base. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment clarifying that the 

issue of foreign boycotts need be addressed only to the extent 

that such boycotts are subjecting the national technology and

industrial base) to significant harm. 

National security strategy for national technology and 

industrial base (sec. 1603) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1604) that would 

require the Department of Defense (DOD) to develop a national 

security strategy for the national technology and industrial 

base. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Given the vast scope of the defense industrial base, the 

conferees realize that such a strategy will have to be tailored 

to the various sectors of the defense industrial base and 

understand that innovation timelines can vary significantly 

between sectors. In addition, the conferees strongly urge the 

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manufacturing and 

Industrial Base Policy to leverage to the maximum possible 

extent existing organizations, capabilities, and authorities 

within the DOD in the development and execution of this 

strategy.

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would ensure the 

participation of the directors of small business programs as 

early as possible in the acquisition processes of the 

Department. 

 The conferees understand that contract requirements and 

specifications can be drafted in a manner that is unnecessarily 

restrictive of competition or unnecessarily excludes small

performance of the Department of Defense (sec. 1613) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with a 

federally funded research and development center to conduct an 

independent assessment of the procurement performance of the 

Department of Defense related to small business concerns. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would: (1) direct 

the Secretary to select an appropriate entity to conduct the 

independent assessment; and (2) streamline and clarify the 

matters to be addressed by the review. 

The conferees note that the amendment does not include a 

requirement to review the potential for increased opportunities 

for contracting and subcontracting with small business concerns 

owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans. The 

Department has informed the conferees that an independent 

assessment addressing this issue has already been completed by a

process.

and clarify the roles and responsibilities of PCRs, while 

ensuring that the small business offices within the federal 

agencies serve as the primary advocates for small business 

during the pre-decisional acquisition planning processes of such 

agencies. 
313 

Small Business Act contracting requirements training (sec. 1622) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1622) that would 

require the Defense Acquisition University and the Federal 

Acquisition Institute to establish courses on contracting 

requirements under the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632 et 

seq.). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment deleting the 

requirement for a report by the Government Accountability 

Office.

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1623) that would 

address the consideration of small business issues in the 

acquisition planning processes of federal agencies. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify and 

streamline the provision. The conferees believe that early 

participation of small business specialists in the acquisition 

process should reduce protests, thereby speeding up the process, 

while improving small business opportunities. 

PART II—GOALS FOR PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS AWARDED TO 

SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNS

Goals for procurement contracts awarded to small business 

concerns (sec. 1631) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1631) that would

to meet such goals. 

Reporting on goals for procurement contracts awarded to small 

business concerns (sec. 1632) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1632) that would 
314 

establish enhanced federal agency reporting requirements

federal agencies are not required to establish new data 

collection systems for the purpose of meeting these 

requirements. 

Senior executives (sec. 1633) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1633) that would 

require the incorporation of small business considerations into 

the training and evaluation of senior executives responsible for 

acquisition functions. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 

federal agencies to ensure that senior executives assume 

responsibility for the achievement of small business goals. 

 The conferees understand that one of the steps taken by the 

Department of Defense to ensure that senior officials assume 

responsibility for the achievement of small business contracting 

goals has been to include consideration of such goals in 

performance evaluations for such officials in appropriate 

circumstances. The conferees expect other federal agencies to 

adopt similar measures to comply with the requirements of this 

provision.

316 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Director of the Office of Management and Budget to publish 

procedures and methodologies to be used by federal agencies with 

respect to decisions to insource functions that are being 

performed by small business concerns. 

PART V—SMALL BUSINESS CONCERN SIZE STANDARDS

Small business concern size standards (sec. 1661)

clarify statutory provisions regarding size standards applicable 

to small business concerns.

from a trade and export promotion program. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Advancing Innovation Pilot Program 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would 

establish a pilot program to accelerate the development and 

fielding of research innovations from qualifying institutions. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

The conferees continue to maintain keen interest in 

ensuring that the Department of Defense (DOD) has robust and 

efficient mechanisms for transitioning scientific and 

technological innovation from research activities into system 

acquisitions and other programs of record that ultimately 

further DOD’s missions. The conferees understand that the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 

has initiated an effort to comprehensively review and streamline 

the acquisition system. The conferees applaud this review, and 

urge the Under Secretary to use this opportunity to review 

technology transition programs and funding mechanisms within the 

Department in order to eliminate poor performing or marginal 

initiatives, identify and strengthen those that function 

effectively, and consider initiating new programs should they be 

deemed necessary. 

In addition, the conferees are also aware that the 

Department has recently issued a new instruction on the 

availability of samples, drawings, information, equipment, 

materials, and certain services to non-DOD persons and entities 

that should support Department-wide goals for technology 

transfer from DOD laboratories and engineering centers. The 
320 

conferees fully support the goals of DOD Instruction 5535.11, 

which states that it is policy, “to promote research and 

development within the commercial sector of the U.S. economy, 

and the transfer of technology from the military to the 

commercial sector.” The conferees also agree that “providing 

information or unique or scarce items to a private sector entity 

will significantly aid that entity’s ability to engage in 

research critical to the development of a useful military or 

commercial technology,” and should play a central role in any 

Department-wide strategy for technology transition. The 

conferees urge leadership within the Department to do more to 

socialize this new instruction with the private sector, 

academia, as well as DOD stakeholders, to ensure it is utilized 

to the maximum extent practicable. 

Assessment of outreach for small business concerns owned and 

controlled by women and minorities required before conversion of 

certain functions to contractor performance

require the Department of Defense to conduct outreach to certain 

categories of small businesses before outsourcing certain 

functions to private sector entities. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees expect the Department of Defense to conduct 

outreach to all categories of small businesses and to other 

qualified entities before outsourcing functions performed by 

federal employees. 

Assessment of small business programs transition 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1615) that would 

require that the Secretary of Defense select an entity outside 

the Department of Defense (DOD) to conduct an independent review 

and assessment of the transition of technologies developed by 

small business. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Government Accountability 

Office (GAO) is currently conducting a comprehensive body of 

work to assess how well the Department is managing, developing, 

and transitioning technologies across its science and technology 

enterprise. The first review, which is currently underway, 

assesses DOD and military service programs dedicated to 

facilitating the transition of technologies to major weapon 

acquisition programs or directly to the field. The conferees 
321 

direct the Comptroller General to ensure that future GAO reviews 

performed under this body of work include an assessment of the 

transition of technologies developed by small businesses through 

the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, 

including: (1) an analysis of technologies developed under the 

SBIR program and the extent to which such technologies were 

incorporated into major weapon systems or major automated 

information systems; (2) an analysis of established or ad hoc 

procedures to allow program offices to monitor, evaluate, and 

transition small business-developed technologies into their 

programs; and (3) additional actions that may be needed to 

improve DOD and the military services’ processes for monitoring, 

evaluating, and transitioning small business-developed 

technologies for use in major weapon systems or major automated 

information systems (including any appropriate data collection 

and measures of effectiveness and performance).

 The House recedes. 

Office of Hearings and Appeals 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1682) that would

set aside for competition among advanced small business 

concerns. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees remain concerned by the difficulties that 

businesses have had after graduating from small business 

programs or growing to exceed the size standards for 

participation in such programs. A separate provision in this 

conference report would require an independent assessment of 

federal procurement contracting performance of the Department of 

Defense related to small business concerns. The assessment to 

be conducted pursuant to this provision would include an 

examination of the transition challenges faced by businesses 

that graduate from small business programs or grow to exceed the 

size standards for participation in such programs and provide 

recommendations on steps that should be taken to help ensure the 

continued health of such businesses.

construction projects of the Department of Defense (DOD). It 

includes funding authorizations for the construction and 

operation of military family housing as well as military 

construction for the reserve components, the defense agencies, 

and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Security 

Investment Program. It would also provide authorization for the

TITLE XXI–ARMY MILITARY CONSTRUCTION 

Budget Item

Summary 

The budget request included $192.0 million for a Cadet 

Barracks at the United States Military Academy (USMA). The 

conferees have significant concerns about the condition of the 

current cadet barracks at USMA. A provision in this title deals 

specifically with this project; however, the Army will be unable 

to obligate and expend the full amount of the budget request and 

therefore the conference agreement would reduce the 

authorization of appropriations by $106.0 million. 

 The budget request included $84.0 million for the 

Millennium Site cemetery expansion at Arlington National 

Cemetery (ANC). The conferees note that the Army’s military 

construction account has historically not been used to authorize 

construction at ANC, and the conferees agree that changing this 

precedent would not be in the best interests of the Army or ANC. 
330 

Therefore, the conference agreement would transfer the $84.0 

million for this project to the Cemeterial Expenses account 

where it is fully funded. 

Legislative Provisions Adopted

extend the limitation to continue a tour normalization 

prohibition of funds included in section 2111 of the Military 

Construction Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (division B of Public Law 

112-81).

The Senate recedes. 

Limitation on project authorization to carry out certain fiscal 

year 2013 project (sec. 2108) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2107) that 

would provide the Secretary of the Army authorization to carry

332 

limitation on the use of funds for the project requiring the 

Secretary of the Army to submit, as part of the next futureyears defense program, a plan for the renovation of the existing 

barracks inventory at West Point. The Secretary of the Army 

would also be required to certify that a contract has been 

awarded for the renovation of Scott barracks. 

 Conferees also note that while the project is listed as a 

barracks, the project should not be built to the Army one-plusone standard but should conform to existing dormitory standards 

on campus. 

TITLE XXII–NAVY MILITARY CONSTRUCTION 

Budget Item

Summary 

The budget request included $14.8 million for a Broad Area 

Maritime Surveillance Maintenance Training Facility at Naval Air 

Station Lemoore (Beale Air Force Base), California. The 

Department of the Navy has requested a change in location, which 

the conferees have accepted, for that project to Naval Base 

Ventura County (Point Mugu), California. This change would 

result in a $2.1 million reduction in the project. 

The budget request included funding for four projects at 

Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti. These four projects represent $99.2 

million in authorizations. The conference agreement would 

authorize the full amount for these projects in a separate 

account as Title XXIX of this Act. 

The budget request included $280.0 million for the second 

increment of the Explosives Handling Wharf #2 in Naval Base 

Kitsap, Washington. The conferees understand that the Navy will 

be unable to obligate and expend the full amount of the budget 

request and the conference agreement would, therefore, reduce 

the authorization of appropriations for this project by $25.8 

million. 

Legislative Provisions Adopted

Authorized Navy construction and land acquisition projects (sec. 

2201)

authorize appropriations for the active component military 

construction and family housing projects of the Navy for fiscal 

year 2013. This provision would also provide an overall 

limitation on the cost of the fiscal year 2013 military 

construction and family housing projects authorized for the

TITLE XXIII–AIR FORCE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION 

Budget Item

Summary 

The conferees note that the budget request for the Air 

Force for military construction is considerably reduced this 

fiscal year. The Air Force has described this reduction as a 

‘strategic pause’ in military construction. The conferees are 

concerned that this reallocation of budget authority may 

endanger the Air Force’s ability to meet future military 

construction requirements. 

The budget request includes $161.0 million for the second 

increment of the U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) Replacement 

Facility at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. The conferees 

understand that the Department will be unable to obligate and 

expend the full amount of the budget request and the conference 

agreement would, therefore, reduce the authorization of 

appropriations for this project by $33.0 million. 

The budget request included funding for two projects at 
335 

Rota, Spain. The conferees have been informed that the Air 

Force no longer requires the Transient Contingency Dormitory or 

the Transient Aircraft Hangers, $17.6 million and $15.0 million, 

respectively, and the conference agreement would, therefore, 

eliminate funding for both projects. 

The budget request, and the House bill included an 

authorization of $128.0 million for a hardened Fuel Maintenance 

Hangar at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, that was first included 

in the fiscal year 2012 budget request. The conferees note that 

incremental appropriations for this project were provided in the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112-74). 

The conferees have concerns about the costs associated with 

the hardening of facilities in the U.S. Pacific Command area of 

responsibility, but recognize the strategic value of Andersen 

Air Force Base and believe the Air Force should continue to 

ensure that the facilities at this location remain suitable for 

mission requirements. 

The conference agreement would, therefore, include an 

authorization of $58.0 million for an unhardened Fuel 

Maintenance Hangar at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. 

Legislative Provisions Adopted

Authorized Air Force construction and land acquisition projects 

(sec. 2301) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2301) that would 

authorize military construction projects for the active 

component of the Air Force for fiscal year 2013.

including housing management offices and housing maintenance and 

storage facilities.

336 

2302). 

The conference agreement includes this provision.

construction and family housing projects of the Air Force for

TITLE XXIV–DEFENSE AGENCIES MILITARY 

CONSTRUCTION 

Budget Item

Summary 

The conferees note that the previously classified location 

for a SOF Parachute Training Facility has been identified by the 

Department of Defense as Marana, Arizona. 

The budget request included $300.5 million for the second 

increment of the High Performance Computing Center at Fort 
337 

Meade, Maryland. The conferees understand that the National 

Security Agency (NSA) will be unable to obligate and expend the 

full amount of the budget request and the conference agreement 

would, therefore, reduce the authorization of appropriations for 

this project by $75.0 million. The conference agreement also 

includes a provision that would modify the authorization 

provided last year for this project. The conferees previously 

required the NSA to validate the cost of the project and are 

pleased that the updated request resulted in a $68.3 million 

reduction. 

The budget request included $207.4 million for the fourth 

increment of the Hospital Replacement at Fort Bliss, Texas. The 

conferees understand that the Department will be unable to 

obligate and expend the full amount of the budget request and 

the conference agreement would, therefore, reduce the 

authorization of appropriations by $75.0 million. 

The budget request included $80.7 million for the third 

increment of the Ambulatory Care Center at Joint Base San 

Antonio, Texas. The conferees understand that the Department 

will be unable to obligate and expend the full amount of the 

budget request and the conference agreement would, therefore, 

reduce the authorization of appropriations by $54.3 million. 

The budget request included an authorization of $157.9 

million and an authorization of appropriations in the same 

amount for an Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System Complex in 

Deveselu, Romania. The Department of Defense informed the 

conferees that after extensive planning and design, the actual 

authorization requirement would be $220.8 million, though the 

Department would be unable to obligate and expend the full 

amount of the budget request. Therefore, the authorization of 

appropriations in the conference agreement would be reduced by 

$37.9 million; however, the authorization would be increased to 

the newly requested amount. 

The budget request included $30.0 million for 

infrastructure at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to support 

construction of facilities for special operations forces. These 

projects are authorized in this Title. The conference agreement 

would eliminate the project in Title XXI and move the $30.0 

million to the SOF Battalion Operations Facility project that 

the infrastructure was planned to support. 

The conference agreement would eliminate this infrastructure 

project since the resulting infrastructure would not constitute 

a “complete and useable” facility as required by statute. The 

conferees are aware of the Major Force Program-11 rule to not 

provide for common service requirements and view this as an 

exception. 
338

integrated mission elements, responsibilities, and capabilities 

as existed upon the completion of implementation of the 

recommendations of the 2005 Base Closure and Realignment 

Commission, until such time as it is modified pursuant to 

section 2687 of title 10, United States Code, or a subsequent 

law providing for the closure or realignment of military 

installations in the United States. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes. 

The conferees note that the Air Force has embarked on a 

significant reorganization of the Air Force Material Command 
347 

(AFMC) that the Secretary of the Air Force indicates will 

improve warfighter support, drive standard processes, improve 

life cycle acquisition management and reduce overhead. 

Specifically, the Air Force has proposed a reduction of more 

than 1,000 positions across the Command that represents an 

annual savings of more than $100.0 million. As the Air Force 

implements this reorganization, the conferees expect the 

Secretary to rigidly adhere to the reporting requirements 

contained in section 2687 of title 10, United States Code 

entitled “Base Closures and Realignment.” While the conferees 

believe that it is imperative to generate efficiencies across 

the entirety of the Air Force enterprise, the conferees also 

believe it is essential to preserve critical functions and 

capabilities at installations assigned to AFMC. 

TITLE XXVIII–MILITARY CONSTRUCTION GENERAL 

PROVISIONS 

Legislative Provisions Adopted

Subtitle A–Military Construction Program 

and Military Family Housing Changes 

Authorized cost and scope variations (sec. 2801) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2801) that 

would amend section 2853 of title 10, United States Code, to 

clarify the authorizations for scope variations in military 

construction and family housing projects. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

The conferees note that the construction justification data 

provided to Congress each year by the Department of Defense for 

each military construction project includes a list of supporting 

facilities that are required to ensure a complete and useable 

primary facility or item of complete and useable infrastructure. 

These supporting facilities are listed as categories such as 

utility services, site preparation, special features, systems, 

or measures with corresponding scopes normally provided as lump 

sums, with the exception of demolition. 

The conferees note that a list of supporting facilities 

should not contain separate or distinct facilities or complete 

and useable facilities. While the conferees understand the need 

for flexibility during the design process to determine the full 

extent of supporting facilities, the list of associated work and 
348 

the categories provided under supporting facilities should be 

considered as the scope for the project. 

In addition, the continued use of lump sums is not 

consistent with the intent of conferees to ensure Congress 

receives a clear and concise description of the costs and scope 

of the proposed construction prior to authorization. Therefore, 

the conferees expect that that the construction justification 

data in future budget submissions will include, to the maximum 

extent practicable, a clearer estimate of the scope of each 

category of supporting facilities required to ensure a complete 

and useable facility or item of infrastructure. 

Preparation of master plans for major military installations 

(sec. 2802) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2801) that would 

require installation master plans at a period not to exceed 10 

years. Such plans shall address environmental planning, 

sustainable design and development, sustainable range planning, 

real property master planning, and transportation planning. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Oversight and accountability for military housing privatization 

projects and related annual reporting requirements (sec. 2803) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2802) that would 

provide additional oversight and accountability in the pursuit 

of military housing privatization projects to include an 

assessment of the financial viability of the long-term project, 

a resident satisfaction assessment and an assessment of the 

backlog of maintenance and repair. Furthermore, this section 

would delete several reporting requirements that were 

duplicative or obsolete and replace them with reporting 

requirements associated with the long-term viability of the 

family housing projects. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Extension of temporary, limited authority to use operation and 

maintenance funds for construction projects in certain areas 

outside the United States (sec. 2804) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2803) that would 

amend section 2808 of the Military Construction Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (division B of Public Law 108-136) and 

extend the Department’s ability to use operation and maintenance 
349 

appropriations for military construction purposes for the United 

States Central Command and Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of 

Africa area of responsibility until September 30, 2013. 

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

2803). 

The House recedes. 

Comptroller General report on in-kind payments (sec. 2805) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2802) that 

would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 

submit a report on the construction or renovation of Department 

of Defense facilities with in-kind payments. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Subtitle B–Real Property and Facilities 

Administration 

Clarification of parties with whom Department of Defense may 

conduct exchanges of real property at certain military 

installations (sec. 2811) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2812) that would 

amend section 2869(a)(1) of title 10, United States Code, as 

amended by section 2815 of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), to change the 

party with whom a real estate exchange can be conducted. 

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

2812). 

 The Senate recedes. 

Identification requirements for access to military installations 

(sec. 2812) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2814) that would 

establish minimum identification requirements for entry onto all 

military installations and require the Department of Defense to 

take steps to enforce these requirements. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Department of Defense to establish identification standards and 

requirements for entry onto military installations, and provide 

that these standards and requirements may vary between 

installations, or parts of installations, depending on the 

nature of the installation, the nature of the access granted, 
350 

and the level of security required. 

Report on property disposals at certain closed military 

installations and additional authorities to assist local 

communities in the vicinity of such installations (sec. 2813) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2813) that would 

provide an indemnification for properties transferred at closed 

military installations. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

313) that would require a report on property disposals. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Report on reorganization of Air Force Materiel Command 

organizations (sec. 2814) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2706) that 

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 

congressional defense committees a report on the reorganization 

of Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) organizations. The 

Secretary would be required to include an analysis of the extent 

to which the proposed changes in the Air Force management 

structure were coordinated with the Office of the Secretary of 

Defense (OSD) and the Director, Test Resource Management Center, 

and the degree to which their concerns, if any, were addressed 

in the approach selected by the Air Force. The Secretary would 

be required to submit the report not later than 180 days after 

the date of the enactment of this Act. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes with an amendment that would have the 

assessment apply more generically to OSD, since other offices 

within OSD have equities in AFMC organization and their 

management. 

The conferees note that the Air Force has embarked on a 

significant reorganization of the Air Force Material Command 

(AFMC) that the Secretary of the Air Force indicates will 

improve warfighter support, drive standard processes, improve 

life cycle acquisition management and reduce overhead. 

Specifically, the Air Force has proposed a reduction of more 

than 1,000 positions across the Command that represents an 

annual savings of more than $100.0 million. As the Air Force 

implements this reorganization, the conferees expect the 

Secretary to rigidly adhere to the reporting requirements 

contained in section 2687 of title 10, United States Code 

entitled “Base Closures and Realignment.” While the conferees 

believe that it is imperative to generate efficiencies across 

the entirety of the Air Force enterprise, the conferees also 
351 

believe it is essential to preserve critical functions and 

capabilities at installations assigned to AFMC. 

Subtitle C–Energy Security 

Congressional notification for contracts for the provision and 

operation of energy production facilities authorized to be 

located on real property under the jurisdiction of a military 

department (sec. 2821)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2821) that would 

require the Department of Defense to notify Congress when 

entering into contracts for the provision and operation of 

energy production facilities on real property owned by the 

United States if the contract is longer than 20 years. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes. 

Availability and use of Department of Defense energy cost 

savings to promote energy security (sec. 2822) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2823) that would 

amend section 2912(b)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 

include consideration of energy security. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Continuation of limitation on use of funds for Leadership in 

Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold or platinum 

certification (sec. 2823)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2822) that would 

continue the prohibition on the use of funds for Leadership in 

Energy and Environmental Design gold or platinum certifications 

for fiscal year 2013 set forth in the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112–81). 

This section would also limit the use of funds for 

implementation of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating 

and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) building standard 189.1. 

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

2822).

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. The 

amendment would limit the prohibition on the use of funds to 

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design gold or platinum 

certifications for fiscal year 2013 until the submission of a 

required report and updated policy guidance from the Department 

of Defense (DOD). 
352 

The conferees note that while there is no prohibition 

limiting the use of funds for implementation of ASHRAE building 

standard 189.1, they expect DOD to not provide broad, sweeping 

policy guidance on the use of ASHRAE building standard 189.1 but 

rather utilize this standard on a project by project basis to 

maximize savings based on geographic locations and returns on 

investment through water and energy efficiencies, among other 

considerations. 

Guidance on financing for renewable energy projects (sec. 2824)

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2821) that 

would require the Department of Defense to issue guidance for 

financing renewable energy projects. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a technical amendment. 

Energy savings performance contract report (sec. 2825) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would 

require the military departments to submit reports to the 

congressional defense committees on the use of energy savings 

performance contracts (ESPCs). 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment requiring a single 

report by the Department of Defense (DOD), and clarifying the 

content of the required report. 

 The conferees note that DOD has encouraged the military 

services to increase the use of ESPCs to meet energy savings 

goals. Under section 8287 of title 42, United States Code, ESPC 

contracts provide for the contractor to incur the costs of 

implementing energy savings measures, including at least the 

costs (if any) incurred in making energy audits, acquiring and 

installing equipment, and training personnel, in exchange for a 

share of any energy savings directly resulting from the 

implementation of such measures. 

Section 8287 provides for the use of ESPCs “solely for the 

purpose of achieving energy savings and benefits ancillary to 

that purpose.” While ESPCs are not available for the purpose of 

the construction of new buildings or facilities, the conferees 

note that in some cases, the installation of equipment meeting 

the standard of section 8287 requires the modification or repair 

of existing facilities, or the construction of ancillary 

facilities or infrastructure, to accommodate the equipment. In 

such cases, ESPCs may be used for the construction, repair, 

maintenance, or modification of facilities or infrastructure 

ancillary to the qualifying equipment. The conferees expect a 
353 

detailed description of any facility work required to carry out 

an ESPC to be included in the report required by this section. 

Subtitle D–Provisions Related to AsiaPacific Military Realignment 

Certification of military readiness need for a Live Fire 

Training Range Complex on Guam as condition on establishment of 

range complex (sec. 2831)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2832) that would 

prohibit the establishment of a firing range on the territory of 

Guam until the Secretary of Defense certifies that the firing 

range is required to meet a national security need. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. 

Realignment of Marine Corps forces in the Asia-Pacific region 

(sec. 2832)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2833) that would 

strike a requirement of section 2207 of the Military 

Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (division B 

of Public Law 112–81) to obtain a coordinated federal agency 

plan that supports the civilian infrastructure on Guam, as well 

as a requirement in such Act to obtain tangible progress 

regarding the relocation of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma as 

a condition for moving forward with the Marine Corps realignment 

of forces to Guam. 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2208) that 

would extend a prohibition on funds for construction activities 

to implement the realignment of Marine Corps' forces from 

Okinawa, pending the receipt of certain certifications and plans 

from the Department of Defense. 

The House recedes with an amendment that would expand the 

exceptions for the use of funds through fiscal year 2013. 

The conferees strongly support a robust U.S. military force 

posture in the Asia-Pacific region as the cornerstone of peace 

and stability and to underwrite the development of new economic 

and security partnerships. 

One key initiative involves changes to the stationing of 

U.S. forces in Japan, and specifically Okinawa, in furtherance 

of the U.S.-Japan bilateral arrangement. The Defense Policy 

Review Initiative, as further detailed in the U.S.-Japan 

Alliance Transformation and Realignment for the Future and the 

2006 U.S.-Japan Roadmap for Realignment Implementation agreement 
354 

(‘Roadmap agreement’), laid out a series of U.S. force 

consolidations and base closures intended to improve the 

cooperation of the two allies, adjust the stationing of U.S. 

forces, and reduce the burden on local Japanese communities. 

The conferees note that on April 27, 2012, the U.S.-Japan 

Security Consultative Committee issued a joint statement 

detailing changes to the plans for the realignment of Marines on 

Okinawa. Specifically, the U.S. and Japan separated the 

requirement of tangible progress on the construction of the 

Futenma Replacement Facility (FRF) from other Marine restationing efforts on Okinawa to return lands to local 

communities. Also, while the overall number of marines to leave 

Okinawa remained essentially the same as under the previous 

agreement (approximately 9,000), the new distributed laydown 

will result in fewer Marines being re-stationed to Guam with the 

remainder of the forces in Australia and Hawaii. 

The conferees are encouraged by the adjustments to the 

Roadmap agreement that will allow the United States Marine Corps 

to establish and employ full Marine Air Ground Task Force 

(MAGTF) capabilities at multiple locations in the Asia-Pacific 

region. While the cost estimates for the construction and 

infrastructure plans at each location are preliminary, the 

conferees note that the Government of Japan has already 

transferred to the United States $834.0 million towards the 

agreed total contribution of $3.1 billion for construction 

activities to support the relocation of 4,700 Marines from 

Okinawa to Guam. Of the $834.0 million, $725.0 million remains 

unobligated in the U.S. Treasury and further expenditures are 

subject to negotiations and mutual agreement between the two 

Governments. 

The conferees recognize the majority of construction 

required to relocate ground units from Okinawa to Guam cannot be 

carried out until the environmental impacts of the new plans for 

Guam and Hawaii are studied, which will take a number of years. 

In the meantime, the conferees have been advised that 

updates to environmental studies are not required for the 

construction of infrastructure and facilities to support the 

relocation of a United States Marine Corps Combat Aviation 

Element to the north side of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, as 

agreed upon in the Roadmap agreement, or to construct ground 

training facilities at Andersen South. 

The conferees also note that the Marine Corps has recently 

increased the use of airspace ranges on and around Guam to meet 

Marine aviation training requirements in the Pacific theater. 

These training missions are accomplished through temporary 

deployments of Marine Air squadrons to Andersen Air Force Base 
355 

that require ramp space and facilities shared with the U.S. Air 

Force. 

The Marine Corps has proposed new facilities on the north 

ramp of Andersen Air Force Base and at Andersen South that would 

have military utility independent of the permanent relocation of 

Marines from Guam. These facilities can be used to meet current 

requirements of Marine units in the Pacific as well as the 

permanent stationing of a United States Marine Corps Combat 

Aviation Element at Andersen Air Force Base, as agreed upon in 

the Roadmap agreement. 

As such, the conferees have modified the prohibition 

maintained by this section to allow for construction of a 

certain infrastructure project and for planning and design 

activities in fiscal year 2013 for the Marine Corps aviation 

infrastructure and facilities on the north ramp of Andersen Air 

Force Base and ground training facilities at Andersen South. 

The conferees do not intend for these investments to be 

interpreted as an endorsement of the distributed laydown, as 

questions still remain about facility master plans, training 

requirements, and affordability in a fiscally constrained 

environment. The conferees also note that the new distributed 

laydown proposed for Marine Corps forces will require the 

completion of a concept of operations, an analysis of logistics 

requirements, and a plan for strategic lift for the MAGTFs to 

meet operational requirements. 

The conferees are further concerned about the lack of 

formal timelines for the development of master plans and budgets 

for the completion of the realignments. This uncertainty 

increases the risk that a delay in investments or construction 

prolonged over 10 years or more will have a detrimental impact 

on the readiness and operational capabilities of the MAGTFs in 

the region. 

Lastly, the conferees note that the updated agreement has 

separated the movement of Marines from Okinawa from the 

requirement for tangible progress on the construction of a 

replacement facility for Marine Corps Futenma on Okinawa. As 

such, there is not a clear plan or timeline to build the FRF at 

Camp Schwab in the Henoko area of Okinawa, and the Marine Corps 

will continue to operate from MCAS Futenma, a heavily-encroached 

air base in the crowded Ginowan area of Okinawa. The MCAS 

Futenma facilities and infrastructure are in deteriorated 

condition due to the deliberate decision over a number of years 

to defer maintenance, repairs, and renovations in light of the 

eventual base closure. 

The conferees are concerned that any decision to further 

delay the construction of an FRF without a plan to provide for 

safe, secure facilities at MCAS Futenma will put Marines, their 
356 

families, and people in the local community at risk. 

Accordingly, the conferees support an expanded investment 

profile for the maintenance and repair of facilities at MCAS 

Futenma until such time as an alternative basing strategy can be 

developed to replicate the capabilities provided by MCAS 

Futenma.

authorize the Secretary of Defense to assist the Government of 

Guam in meeting the costs of providing increased municipal 

services and facilities associated with the realignment of 

military forces to the territory of Guam. This authorization 

would be provided if the Secretary determines that an unfair and 

excessive financial burden will be incurred by the Government of 

Guam to provide the services and facilities in the absence of 

the Secretary’s assistance. This authority would expire on 

September 30, 2020. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The House recedes.

facility by 2026. 

Treatment of certain defense nuclear facility construction 

projects as military construction 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2804) that would 

mandate that certain construction projects of the National 
365 

Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) be deemed military 

construction projects and require that such projects therefore 

be subject to: (1) the advance-project authorization requirement 

of section 2802(a) of title 10, United States Code, and other 

requirements of chapter 169 of such title related to military 

construction projects carried out by the Secretary of Defense; 

and (2) annual acts authorizing military construction projects 

(and authorizing the appropriation of funds therefor) for a 

fiscal year. This section would also require that the Chemistry 

and Metallurgy Research Building Replacement (CMRR) project, in 

Los Alamos, New Mexico, the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) 

project, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and any nuclear facility of 

the NNSA initiated on or after October 1, 2013, that is 

estimated to cost more than $1.0 billion (and is intended to be 

primarily utilized to support NNSA's nuclear weapons 

activities), be treated as military construction projects. 

Further, this section would authorize, as military construction, 

the CMRR project in the amount of $3.5 billion and the UPF 

project in the amount of $4.2 billion. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

would amend section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, to 

allow authorities under the enhanced use lease program to be 

used to develop buffer areas around military installations. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Plan to protect Department of Defense critical assets from 

electromagnetic pulse weapons 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2815) that would 

require the Department of Defense to provide a plan to protect 

defense critical assets and other equipment at military 

facilities from the adverse effects of electromagnetic pulse 

(EMP) and high-powered microwave weapons. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Department of Defense is 

already planning to provide the congressional defense committees 

with a number of reports related to planning and preparations 
366 

for potential EMP events, including reports required by section 

1048 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), and the report required 

by the House report (H. Rept. 112-78) accompanying the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (H.R. 1540). 

 The conferees note that the first report required by 

section 1048, submitted in February 2011, included a detailed 

discussion of the Department’s plans, programs, and processes, 

in place and planned, for protecting the Department’s mission 

critical systems against potential EMP attack. The Department 

updated this information in the second report required by 

section 1048, submitted in January 2012. Furthermore, the 

conferees understand that the Department plans to provide 

additional information on the status of the Department’s 

programs and plans to protect its mission critical systems 

against possible EMP attack in future versions of the reports 

required under section 1048. These reports will include 

information on the implementation of Department of Defense 

Instruction 3150.09, the “Chemical, Biological, Radiological, 

and Nuclear Survivability Policy,” and any updates to that 

policy, including information relating to the protection of 

mission critical systems and their associated facilities against 

EMP attack. The conferees understand that these reports will 

also include a discussion of the Department’s strategy and 

planning for mission assurance related to defense critical 

assets, as defined by Department of Defense Directive 3020.40 

titled “DoD Policy and Responsibilities for Critical 

Infrastructure.” The conferees direct the Department to include 

with the next report required by section 1048 an assessment of 

the defense critical asset program’s ability to withstand an 

electromagnetic pulse. The conferees further direct the 

Department to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 

committees, not later than March 15, 2013, on implementation of 

its mission assurance strategy, particularly as it pertains to 

defense critical assets. 

Retention of core functions of the Electronic Systems Center at 

Hanscom Air Force base, Massachusetts 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2867) that would 

require the Secretary of the Air Force to retain the core 

functions of the Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom Air Force 

Base, Massachusetts, with the same integrated mission elements, 

responsibilities, and capabilities as existed as of November 1, 

2011, until such time as such integrated mission elements, 

responsibilities, and capabilities are modified pursuant to 

section 2687 of title 10, United States Code, or a subsequent 
367 

law providing for the closure or realignment of military 

installations in the United States. 

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

1710) that would levy the same requirement on the Secretary of 

the Air Force until 180 days after the National Commission on 

the Structure of the Air Force submits its report to the 

congressional defense committees. 

The conference agreement does not include the provisions. 

The conferees note that the Air Force has embarked on a 

significant reorganization of the Air Force Material Command 

(AFMC) that the Secretary of the Air Force indicates will 

improve warfighter support, drive standard processes, improve 

life cycle acquisition management and reduce overhead. 

Specifically, the Air Force has proposed a reduction of more 

than 1,000 positions across the Command that represents an 

annual savings of more than $100.0 million. As the Air Force 

implements this reorganization, the conferees expect the 

Secretary to rigidly adhere to the reporting requirements 

contained in section 2687 of title 10, United States Code 

entitled “Base Closures and Realignment.” While the conferees 

believe that it is imperative to generate efficiencies across 

the entirety of the Air Force enterprise, the conferees also 

believe it is essential to preserve critical functions and 

capabilities at installations assigned to AFMC. 

Retention of core functions of the Air Force Materiel Command, 

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2868) that would 

require the Secretary of the Air Force to retain the core 

functions of the Air Force Materiel Command that exist at 

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, as of November 1, 2011, 

until such time as such core functions are modified pursuant to 

section 2687 of title 10, United States Code, or a subsequent 

law providing for the closure or realignment of military 

installations in the United States. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would cap the 

number of full time employees to 1,825 by October 1, 

2014. Thereafter, the Administrator would not be authorized to 

exceed this total number of employees unless the Administrator 

submits a report to the congressional defense committees. The 

amendment would also increase the number of excepted positions 

to 600 and allow such positions to include contracting and 

program management. The conferees intend contracting and program 

management to include budget planning expertise. Finally, the 

amendment requires the Administrator to ensure that the 

expertise of the national security laboratories and the nuclear 

weapons production facilities is available to government 

agencies by maintaining a robust program of temporary 

assignments through the Intergovernmental Personnel Act of 1970

Administration (NNSA). This section would also reform and 

broaden the mandate of the Defense Programs Management Council 

and rename it the “National Nuclear Security Administration 

Council”. The Council would advise the Administrator for Nuclear 

Security on scientific and technical issues related to policy 

matters, and on operational concerns, strategic planning, and 

development of priorities related to the nuclear security 

enterprise and to the mission and operations of the NNSA. The 

Council would be composed of the directors of NNSA's national 

security laboratories and nuclear weapons production facilities. 

This section would also provide the Council the authority to 

provide recommendations to the Administrator or the Secretary of 

Energy, and would require the Administrator or the Secretary to 

provide a response to the Council within 60 days of receiving 

such a recommendation.

expressed the sense of Congress that the use of competition of 

management and operating contracts at the National Nuclear 

Security Administration (NNSA) has resulted in significant 

increases in award fees to the contractors and that the NNSA 

Administrator should ensure that such fees are as low as 

possible while maintaining the focus on national service and 

attracting high quality contractors.

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

3117) that would require the NNSA Administrator to publish, to 

the maximum extent practicable, the performance evaluations 

developed by its site offices that result in award fees to 

contractors. The provision also requires that future 

publications of performance evaluations adhere to a common 

format to facilitate comparisons of evaluations between similar 

contracts.

operating contracts (sec. 3121) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would 

require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to submit a 

report to the congressional defense committees before the 

Administrator releases any final request for proposals for 

competition of any contract to manage and operate a facility of 

the National Nuclear Security Administration. The report would 

be required to include a cost-benefit analysis of the 

competition that includes the expected costs and cost savings 

resulting from the competition; a description of any disruption 

or delay in mission activities or deliverables resulting from 

the competition; a description of any benefits of the proposed 

competition to mission performance or operations; and an 

assessment of how the competition complies with the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation regarding Federally Funded Research and 

Development Centers, if applicable. This section would also 

require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a 

review of the Administrator's report to the congressional 

defense committees within 90 days of the Administrator 
376 

submitting any report pursuant to this section. The 

requirements of this section would apply to any request for 

proposals that is released by the Administrator during fiscal 

years 2012 through 2017. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Administrator to issue a report to the congressional defense 

committees not later than 30 days after the contract is awarded. 

Program on scientific engagement for nonproliferation (sec. 

3122)

provide that not more than $8.0 million authorized to be 

appropriated for fiscal year 2013 may be obligated or expended 

for the Global Security through Science Partnerships (GSSP) 

program, formally known as the Global Initiatives for 

Proliferation Prevention (GIPP) program, until such time as the 

Secretary of Energy submits a report to the appropriate 

congressional committees on the plan to complete the GSSP 

program by the end of calendar year 2015. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

3114) that would authorize a program for scientific engagement 

of U.S. scientists with scientists in countries of concern with 

respect to nonproliferation and require several conditions be 

met before any expenditure of funds: (1) a nonproliferation 

threat assessment of the country by the Director of National 

Intelligence; (2) clear metrics for success so that the program 

does not become stagnant in the country of concern; and (3) 

rigorous accounting standards approved by the Government 

Accountability Office to ensure that there is clear oversight of 

the funds expended. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 

expenditure of funds for this program to not more than 50 

percent of those authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 

2013 until the conditions contained in the Senate provision are 

met and would authorize the program through fiscal year 2016. 

The amendment would also require the program’s administrator, if 

the program is modified for a new country or program element, to 

report to the congressional defense committees, the Committee on 

Foreign Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign 

Relations of the House of Representatives. The amendment would 

also require the administrator to report to the specified 

committees on coordination with respect to other similar 

nonproliferation programs in the U.S. Government. The conferees 

expect that the administrator would distribute any and all such 

reports from this section with other committees of interest in 
377 

the Congress. 

 The conferees interpret section b(1)(B) to mean accounting 

standards already approved and used by the Comptroller General 

of the United States, and to be incorporated by reference. The 

conferees expect this program to be separate and distinct from 

the GIPP, which was started in 1994 and is terminated.

cost of the first phase of the project, replacing building 9212, 

at $4.2 billion. 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2804) that would 

move the construction phase of the project to the Department of 

Defense under its military construction authorities. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would rename the 

project the “Uranium Capabilities Replacement Project” to 

recognize the fundamental change to the project inherent in the 

National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) proposal to 

phase the project and complete only a portion of the original 

scope under the cost range previously established for the full 

project. The conferees expect the NNSA Administrator to 

expeditiously and efficiently carry out all phases of the 

project to result in a smaller, more efficient, safer, and more 

easily-secured infrastructure at NNSA Y-12 production plant. 

The amendment would also require the Secretary of Energy to 

procure the services of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command 

to assist the Secretary with respect to program management, 

oversight, and design activities of the project. The Deputy 

Administrator of Naval Reactors would also be required to 

conduct a study of the project regarding project structure, 

oversight and potential cost savings. Further, the Department 

of Defense Office of Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation would 

be required to submit a report to the congressional defense 

committees 180 days after enactment of this Act reviewing the 

cost and schedule of the project. To ensure long-term 

monitoring of the effort, the amendment would require quarterly 

reporting by the Government Accountability Office on the 

project. The conferees also encourage the Department of Energy 

and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board to resolve 

outstanding issues related to the design, construction, and 

operations of the facility.

excess facilities exist and consolidation would reduce cost. If 

the NWC finds further consolidation is feasible, the report 

would recommend a process for consolidation. Furthermore, the 

Senate amendment would state that no funds may be spent on phase 

CD-3 (start of construction) of the Chemistry and Metallurgy 

Research Replacement (CMRR) building, Department of Energy 

Project 04-D-125 and the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF), 06-

D-141 until such report is transmitted to the congressional 

defense committees. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 

require the NWC to report on efficiencies in the facilities and 

functions of the NNSA. 

 The conferees fully support all modernization efforts 

underway at the NNSA. Due to the recent design changes at the 

UPF, causing a year delay in CD-3, and the deferral of the 

replacement for the CMRR building, the conferees expect the NWC 

should be able to produce the required report without impact to 

either project. 

Study on regional radiological security zones (sec. 3150) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3133) that 

would require the National Nuclear Security Administration to 

prepare a report on the feasibility of establishing radiological 

security zones on a regional basis rather than on a country by 

country case as is now done. The report would include the 

estimated costs of establishing and monitoring such zones 

through centralized monitoring centers. The report would be due 

no later than 180 days after date of enactment of this Act. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

General Accountability Office to prepare the report. 

 The conferees recognize the importance of securing 
384 

radiological sources and do not intend that this study assume 

that these efforts should be given greater priority than current 

efforts to remove and secure vulnerable fissile materials. 

Report on abandoned uranium mines (sec. 3151) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3134) 

that would require the Secretary of Energy to prepare a report 

on abandoned uranium mines used by the U.S. atomic weapons 

program. The report would be due 18 months after the date of 

enactment of this Act. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would require 

consultation in preparing the report with the Secretary of 

Interior and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection 

Agency and clarify that the provision does not alter the 

liability of any responsible or affected party. 

Subtitle E-Other Matters

Use of probabilistic risk assessment to ensure nuclear safety 

(sec. 3161) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3151) that would 

require the Administrator for Nuclear Security and the Secretary 

of Energy to ensure that the methods for certifying and 

overseeing nuclear safety at defense nuclear facilities of the 

National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the 

Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management use 

national and international standards and nuclear industry best 

practices, including probabilistic risk assessment, for parts, 

equipment, and systems for which sufficient data exists to 

support such methods. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would ensure that 

the use of probabilistic risk assessments do not replace the 

adequate protection standard outlined in section 182 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (P.L. 83-703 as amended) but to 

supplement it consistent with the findings of Union of Concerned 

Scientists v. NRC, 824 F. 2d 108, 120 (D.C. Circuit, 1987). In 

addition, the utilization and production of special nuclear 

material will be in accordance with the common defense and 

security of the United States. 

Submittal to Congress of selected acquisition reports and 

independent cost estimates on life extension programs and new 

nuclear facilities (sec. 3162) 
385 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3154) that would 

require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director of 

Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) and in 

coordination with the Administrator for Nuclear Security, to 

assess the cost of options and alternatives for new life 

extension programs and new nuclear facilities within the nuclear 

security enterprise that are expected to cost more than $500.0 

million. This section would also require the Secretary of 

Defense to submit a copy of these cost assessments to the 

congressional defense committees within 30 days of their 

completion. Finally, this section would provide the 

Administrator for Nuclear Security the authority to ask the 

Secretary of Defense to seek a CAPE assessment on other 

initiatives of the National Nuclear Security Administration that 

are expected to cost more than $500.0 million. 

 The Senate amendment contained a related provision (sec. 

3112) that would require the National Nuclear Security 

Administration to provide selected acquisition reports on each 

nuclear weapon system undergoing life extension. The reports 

shall be based on existing provisions in section 2432 of title 

10, United States Code. The provision also recommends 

independent cost estimates for nuclear weapons undergoing life 

extension at the completion of phase 6.2A and before entering 

Phase 6.5 of the unit. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 

two provisions into one section on Selected Acquisition Reports 

and cost estimates. 

Classification of certain restricted data (sec. 3163) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3153) that would 

amend section 142 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 

2162) to permit the Secretary of Energy, in conjunction with the 

Secretary of Defense or the Director of National Intelligence, 

to restore certain information related to the design of nuclear 

weapons back into the Restricted Data category. This provision 

would also make a technical correction to subsection 142e of the 

Atomic Energy Act by updating the term “Director of Central 

Intelligence” to “Director of National Intelligence” to conform 

section 142e with the transfer of functions contained in the 

Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Public 

Law 108-458). 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

3121). 

The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. 
386 

Advice to President and Congress regarding safety, security, and 

reliability of United States nuclear weapons stockpile and 

nuclear forces (sec. 3164) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3152) that would 

transfer section 7274p of title 42, United States Code, and redesignate it as section 4215 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act 

(50 USC Chapter 42). The provision would also amend and clarify 

the underlying statute to ensure that no person, including 

representatives of the President, may prevent or constrain a 

director of a national security laboratory, a director of a 

nuclear weapons production facility, a member of the Nuclear 

Weapons Council, or the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, from 

sharing his or her professional views with the President, the 

National Security Council, or Congress. The provision would 

require the Administrator for Nuclear Security and the Secretary 

of Defense to establish classified mail channels to enable such 

information to be transmitted directly to Congress. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that strikes the 

subsection related to classified mail channels and clarifies 

that the presentation of information related to the status of 

and plans for the capabilities and infrastructure that support 

and sustain the nuclear weapons stockpile and nuclear forces 

should not be construed to affect the interagency budget 

process. 

 As currently required by section 7274 of title 42, United 

States Code, the conferees believe that all national leaders 

require access to the objective, independent, and unfiltered 

professional advice and opinions of the Nation’s nuclear weapons 

experts regarding the safety, security, effectiveness, and 

reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile, and reiterate 

their strong support for ensuring Congress has unconstrained 

access to such. 

Pilot program on technology commercialization (sec. 3165)

 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3158) that would 

authorize the Secretary of Energy to establish, in coordination 

with the Technology Transfer Coordinator, a pilot program on 

technology commercialization.

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 

pilot program to 2 years in duration and strike the requirement 

for involvement of a non-profit entity. The amendment would 

also require the Secretary of Energy to submit a report 
387 

describing the program or, if it is not carried out, why it was 

not carried out.

 The conferees direct the Secretary to ensure that any pilot 

program carried out under this section is in the best interests 

of the National Nuclear Security Administration and to ensure 

that competitive procedures are used in selecting any private 

entity to participate in such a program. 

Congressional advisory panel on the governance of the nuclear 

security enterprise (sec. 3166) 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3161) that 

would establish a congressional advisory panel to make 

recommendations with respect to revising the governance 

structure of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 

to permit the Administration to operate more effectively. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes with an amendment that would create a 

Congressional Advisory Panel on the Governance of the Nuclear 

Security Enterprise to address the immediate and long-term 

issues associated with the NNSA. In addition, the amendment 

appoints four panel members each, by the Committee on Armed 

Services of the House of Representatives, by the Committee on 

Armed Services of the Senate, and by the Leadership of the House 

and Senate. 

 The conferees note that this Panel is created in lieu of 

the House receding in sections 3113, 3115, and 3133, and the 

Senate receding in sections 3131 and 3141 to address many of the 

issues the House identified in those provisions. 

Subtitle F-American Medical Isotopes 

Production

American Medical Isotopes Act of 2012 (secs. 3171-3178) 

 The Senate amendment contained nine provisions (sections 

3151-3159) that comprised a program to develop a domestic supply 

of the medical isotope molybdenum-99 (MO-99) using low enriched 

uranium while phasing out the export of highly enriched uranium 

for production of medical isotopes. An abbreviated description 

is as follows. 

Section 3151 would provide a short title. 

Section 3152 would define terms used throughout the Act. 

Section 3153 would direct the Secretary of Energy to 

establish a technology-neutral, cost-shared program to evaluate 
388 

and support projects for the domestic production of MO-99 for 

medical uses without the use of highly enriched uranium. 

Section 3154 would amend section 134 of the Atomic Energy 

Act (AEA) of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2160d), by striking subsection (c), 

and by adding 5 new subsections designated (c) through (f). New 

subsection (c) would prohibit the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

from issuing a license for the export of highly enriched uranium 

for medical isotope production effective 7 years after the date 

of enactment. New subsection (d) would permit the 7-year period 

in subsection (c) to be extended for up to 6 additional years if 

the Secretary certifies that there is insufficient global supply 

of MO-99 produced without the use of highly enriched uranium to 

satisfy the domestic market and that the export of highly 

enriched uranium is the most effective temporary means to 

increase the domestic supply of MO-99. New subsection (e) would 

require public notice and comment on the certification. New 

subsection (f) would provide for the suspension, for up to 12 

months, of the prohibition on the export licensing of highly 

enriched uranium after it has become effective if there is a 

critical shortage of MO-99, the Secretary certifies that the 

export of highly enriched uranium is the only effective 

temporary means to increase the supply, and Congress enacts a 

joint resolution approving the temporary suspension. New 

subsection (g) would define terms used in section 134 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954. 

Section 3155 would require the Chairman of the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission to submit to Congress a report on the 

current disposition of previous exports of highly enriched 

uranium used as targets of fuel in a nuclear research or test 

reactor. 

Section 3156 would add a new section 112 to the AEA to 

authorize the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to license the use 

in the United States of highly enriched uranium as a target for 

medical isotope production only if, in addition to other 

requirements of the AEA, the Commission determines that no low 

enriched uranium target can be used in the reactor, and the 

recipient has provided assurances that if a low enriched uranium 

target can be used, it will be, and the Secretary certifies that 

the United States Government is actively supporting the 

development of low enriched uranium targets for the reactor. 

Section 3157 would require the Secretary to report to 

Congress 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, and 

annually for the ensuing 5 years, on actions to support the 

production of molybdenum-99 for medical uses without the use of 

highly enriched uranium. 
389 

Section 3158 would require the National Academy of Sciences 

to study the state of MO-99 production and use not later than 5 

years after the date of enactment of this Act. 

Section 3159 would repeal The Nuclear Safety Research, 

Development and Demonstration Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9701 et. 

seq.).

The House bill contained no similar provision.

The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 

Department of Energy, as part of its program to develop a 

domestic supply of MO-99 (section 3173), to produce MO-99 in a 

cost effective manner and that the Nuclear Science Advisory 

Committee, in addition to conducting annual reviews of the 

program, make recommendations to improve the program’s 

effectiveness. In addition, the conferees expect that in 

pursuing the program in Section 3173, the Secretary of Energy 

shall ensure that the program is carried out in a technology 

neutral manner to reduce the use of highly enriched uranium and 

produce significant quantities of MO-99 for medical uses. 

Demonstration of technology necessary to domestically produce 

significant quantities of MO-99 for medical uses on a commercial 

scale seeks to address potential civilian use supply issues 

while also enhancing national security. Section 3173 requires 

the Secretary to cooperate with non-federal entities and share 

the costs incurred in the development, demonstration, and 

commercial application of the technology necessary to achieve 

the goals of the program, including the civilian medical 

applications. 

The amendment would also make technical changes in section 

3174 and add a requirement that the Secretaries of Energy and 

Health and Human Services must jointly certify that before the 

provisions in subsections (c) and (d) take effect there is a 

sufficient supply of MO-99 produced without the use of highly 

enriched uranium available to meet the needs of the patients in 

the United States; and that it is not necessary to export United 

States-origin highly enriched uranium for the purposes of 

medical isotope production in order to meet United States 

patient needs. In addition, the joint certification would be 

required not later than 7 years after the date of enactment of 

this Act. If the period referred to in subsection (c) is 

extended under subsection (d), the 7 year deadline would be 

extended by a period equal to the period of such extension under 

subsection (d).

The amendment would also strike the repeal of The Nuclear 

Safety Research, Development and Demonstration Act of 1980 (42 

U.S.C. 9701 et. seq.). 

Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
390 

Contractor governance, oversight, and accountability 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that would 

require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to establish a 

reformed system of governance, management, and oversight of the 

National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The House bill 

also contained a provision (sec. 3115) that would require the 

Administrator to establish policies and procedures for the 

regulation and oversight of health, safety, and security of the 

nuclear security enterprise. Lastly, the House bill also 

contained a provision (sec. 3133) that would clarify the role of 

the Administrator and reinforce the semi-autonomous nature of 

the NNSA. 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3131) that 

would require the Secretary of Energy to submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees on the actions required to 

transition, to the maximum extent practicable, the regulation of 

non-nuclear operations of the NNSA to federal agencies other 

than the Department of Energy (DOE). The Senate amendment also 

contained a provision (sec. 3161) that would express a sense of 

Congress regarding any efforts to reform oversight of the 

nuclear security enterprise. 

 The conference agreement does not include these provisions. 

The conferees emphasize that there is widespread 

recognition that the current system for governance, management, 

and oversight of the nuclear security enterprise is broken. For 

instance, in 2009 the bipartisan Congressional Commission on the 

Strategic Posture of the United States found that “the 

governance structure of the NNSA is not delivering the needed 

results. This governance structure should be changed.” The 

Commission elaborated, saying, “The NNSA was formed to improve 

management of the weapons program and to shelter that program 

from what was perceived as a welter of confusing and 

contradictory DOE directives, policies, and procedures. Despite 

some success, the NNSA has failed to meet the hopes of its 

founders. Indeed, it may have become part of the problem, 

adopting the same micromanagement and unnecessary and obtrusive 

oversight that it was created to eliminate.” The Commission 

concluded “it is time to consider fundamental changes.” Recent 

studies by the Henry L. Stimson Center (“Leveraging Science for 

Security”), the National Academies of Science (“Managing for 

High-Quality Science and Engineering at the NNSA National 

Security Laboratories” and “The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban 

Treaty—Technical Issues for the United States”) and other 

objective, bipartisan groups have reached similar conclusions. 
391 

 The conferees share the concerns expressed by these myriad 

groups, and believe the status quo is not working and must not 

be continued. The weaknesses of the current system, including 

an overly bureaucratic system, weak accountability, ineffective 

oversight, insufficient program and budget expertise, and poor 

contract management have been repeatedly demonstrated--including 

by recent high-profile failures such as the July 2012 security 

breach at the Y-12 National Security Complex. These incidents 

prove that a deeply bureaucratic system is no guarantee of 

health, safety, and security--and may in fact jeopardize health, 

safety, and security. 

 Furthermore, the conferees believe that the current system 

is not delivering the results required by the military and by 

the taxpayer. The cost of major stockpile and infrastructure 

modernization projects has risen to unprecedented levels due, in 

part, to the overwhelming bureaucracy within the system. 

Further slippage in project schedules is unacceptable, and could 

undermine the credibility of the nation’s nuclear deterrent. 

Administrative costs within the NNSA and the nuclear security 

enterprise must be reduced and the enterprise must be refocused 

on accomplishing its mission effectively and efficiently, as 

well as safely and securely. 

 The conferees expect the advisory panel that would be 

created elsewhere in this Act to provide a bipartisan solution 

to fix this system. The conferees expect the advisory panel 

would provide actionable recommendations that directly address 

the host of systemic problems identified by previous studies and 

by the conferees. The conferees believe changes on the margins 

are not a solution. 

Limitation on availability of funds for inertial confinement 

fusion ignition and high yield campaign 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that would 

limit the obligation and expenditure of funds for fusion 

ignition research and experiments to not more than 50 percent 

until the Administrator for Nuclear Security certifies to the 

congressional defense committees that fusion ignition has been 

achieved at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) or the 

Administrator submits a report on fusion ignition. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees are pleased that the National Nuclear 

Security Administration has submitted the report required in 

section 3119 of the House bill regarding a path forward for the 

NIF, including fusion ignition. The conferees believe that the 

NIF should continue to balance the goal of achieving ignition 
392 

with other stockpile needs as part of the life extension 

programs as well as ongoing work for other agencies and offices 

in the Department of Energy. 

Limitation on availability of funds for nuclear nonproliferation 

activities with Russian Federation 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3123) that would 

limit Cooperative Threat Reduction funding to Russia until the 

Secretary of Energy, in coordination with the Secretaries of 

State and Defense, certify to the congressional defense 

committees that Russia is not providing direct or indirect 

support to the Syrian government to suppress the Syrian people 

and that Russia is not providing equipment and technology to 

Syria, Iran, or North Korea that have the potential to make a 

material contribution to the development of weapons of mass 

destruction or cruise or ballistic missile systems controlled 

under multilateral control lists. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Intellectual property related to uranium enrichment 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3156) that would 

authorize the Secretary of Energy to make available, from the 

funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise 

made available for fiscal year 2013, not more than $150.0 

million for the development and demonstration of domestic 

national security-related enrichment technologies. Thirty days 

before making such funds available for these purposes, the 

Secretary of Energy would be required to certify to the 

congressional defense committees that such funds are needed for 

national security purposes and describe what those purposes are. 

If the Secretary chooses to make such funds available, this 

section would require the Secretary to utilize merit selection 

procedures and execute an agreement with the recipient of such 

funds. The agreement would include a requirement for the 

recipient to achieve specific technical criteria by dates not 

later than June 30, 2014, and require that immediately upon 

execution of such agreement that the recipient grant to the 

Federal Government a royalty-free, non-exclusive license in all 

enrichment-related intellectual property and associated 

technical data owned, licensed, or otherwise controlled by the 

recipient. This section would also require that any existing 

agreement between the Secretary of Energy and the recipient be 

amended to permit the Secretary to use or allow third parties to 
393 

use such intellectual property and associated technical data for 

national defense purposes. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

 The conferees note that this domestic uranium enrichment 

project is authorized for $150.0 million within the budget 

tables for the National Nuclear Security Administration. The 

conferees understand that the Department of Energy entered into 

a cooperative agreement for this project and that this 

cooperative agreement and other associated agreements include 

taxpayer protections similar to those required by the House 

provision. The conferees expect that the Department of Energy 

will continue to take all actions necessary to ensure robust 

taxpayer protections for the funds invested in this project. 

 

Renewable energy 

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3122) that 

would amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 

15852(b)(2)) by striking “geothermal” and inserting “geothermal 

(including geothermal heat pumps)”. 

 The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

 The conferees note that the Department of Defense already 

accounts for energy derived from geothermal heat pumps under the 

broader construct of geothermal sources in meeting goals for the 

use of renewable energy. 

TITLE XXXII-DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES 

SAFETY BOARD

Legislative Provisions Adopted

Authorization (sec. 3201) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3201) that would 

authorize $31.4 million to be appropriated for the Defense 

Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB), which is $2.0 million 

above the fiscal year 2013 budget request. 

 The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 

3201) that would authorize $29.4 million to be appropriated for 

the DNFSB, which is the fiscal year 2013 budget request. 

 The House recedes. 

Improvements to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board 

(sec. 3202) 
394 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3202) that would 

amend the enabling statute of the Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board (DNFSB) (42 United States Code, section 2286) to 

provide congressional direction regarding the DNFSB's operation, 

clarify the DNFSB's mission, and improve collaboration between 

the DNFSB and the Department of Energy. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 

sharing of draft recommendations between the DNFSB and the 

Department of Energy before a final recommendation is published. 

The provision would also require the DNFSB, where feasible, to 

account for risk in its recommendations. The conferees believe 

accounting for risk does not replace the adequate protection 

standard outlined in section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) 

of 1954 (42 United States Code, section 2011), but to supplement 

it consistent with the findings of Union of Concerned Scientists 

v. NRC, 824 F. 2d 108, 120 (D.C. Circuit, 1987). The amendment 

would also require the DNFSB to obtain the services of an 

inspector general consistent with the Inspector General Act of 

1978 (5 U.S.C. App.). The conferees intend the procurement of 

such services shall be in addition to the underlying budget of 

the DNFSB. Accordingly, the requirement would be established 

that the procurement of inspector general services shall be a 

separate budget line in the DNFSB’s annual budget submission to 

the Congress. 

The conferees highlight that, per the AEA, the Secretary of 

Energy has a statutory responsibility to balance national 

security requirements, cost, and safety of the nuclear security 

enterprise. Further, section 312(a)(5) of the AEA requires the 

DNFSB, in making its recommendations, “to consider the technical 

and economic feasibility of the recommended measures.” To 

better understand how the DNFSB considers such issues, the 

conferees direct the Chairman of the DNFSB to submit a report to 

the congressional defense committees by February 15, 2013, 

regarding how the DNFSB considers the technical and economic 

feasibility of implementing its recommended measures. 

TITLE XXXIV-NAVAL PETROLEUM RESERVES

Legislative Provision Adopted

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 3401) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3401) that would 

authorize $14.9 million for fiscal year 2013 for operation and 

maintenance of the Naval Petroleum and Oil Reserves. 
395 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

The Senate recedes. 

TITLE XXXV—MARITIME ADMINISTRATION 

Legislative Provisions Adopted

Authorization of appropriations for national security aspects of 

the merchant marine for fiscal year 2013 (sec. 3501)

authorize appropriations for the Maritime Administration of the 

Department of Transportation for those activities of the 

Maritime Administration associated with maintaining national 

defense sealift. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Application of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (sec. 3502) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3502) that would 

clarify that the appropriate version of the Federal Acquisition 

Regulations to be applied to a contract for purchase of 

recycling services is the version in effect at the time the 

contract is awarded. 

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Limitation of National Defense Reserve Fleet vessels to those 

over 1,500 gross tons (sec. 3503) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3503) that would 

clarify that vessels in the National Defense Reserve Fleet are 

to be 1,500 gross tons or greater and those vessels the 

Secretary of Transportation determines are appropriate to be 

included in the National Defense Reserve Fleet. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Donation of excess fuel to maritime academies (sec. 3504) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3504) that would 

authorize the Maritime Administration, with the concurrence of 

the owner of the fuel or excess equipment, to donate excess fuel 

or equipment on National Defense Reserve Fleet vessels to the 

State Maritime Academies to carry out training. In the case of 

Ready Reserve Force vessels, the Maritime Administration would 
396 

be required to consult with the Secretary of the Navy before 

donating such fuel or equipment to the Academies. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Clarification of heading (sec. 3505) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3505) that would 

make a purely technical correction to change the title of 

section 57103 of title 46, United States Code, from “Sale of 

Obsolete Vessels in the National Defense Reserve Fleet” to 

“Donation of Non-Retention Vessels in the National Defense 

Reserve Fleet.” 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Transfer of vessels to the National Defense Reserve Fleet (sec. 

3506) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3506) that would 

clarify the Maritime Administration’s authority to receive 

vessels from the armed forces and other federal entities, 

thereby enhancing the Administration’s ability to efficiently 

dispose of obsolete Government vessels. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Amendments relating to the National Defense Reserve Fleet (sec. 

3507) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3507) that would 

allow the Maritime Administration to have flexibility in 

determining when to conduct activations and sea trials of 

vessels in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, while still 

ensuring readiness in accordance with Department of Defense 

readiness requirements. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. 

 The Senate recedes. 

Extension of Maritime Security Fleet program (sec. 3508) 

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3508) that 

would: (1) extend the sunset date for the Maritime Security 

Fleet Program (MSP) to September 30, 2025; (2) direct the 

Maritime Administration to offer contracts for extending 

contracts to current MPS participants before offering them to 

other contractors; (3) authorize periodic increases to the MSP 
397 

stipend for participants through fiscal year 2025 to account for 

inflation; and (4) prioritize new MSP contracts awards according 

to Department of Defense priorities. 

 The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

to the marine transportation system. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes.

would: (1) clarify the role of the Maritime Administrator in 

granting waivers to navigation or vessel-inspection laws when 

such waivers are determined to be in the interest of national 
398 

defense; and (2) expand the requirements to notify Congress and 

the public promptly when such waivers are requested or issued.

require that the Comptroller General submit a report within 1 

year of the date of enactment of this Act to the Committee on 

Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, the

the Maritime Administration’s National Defense Reserve Fleet 

vessel recycling contracts. The provision would require that 

the Comptroller General submit a report not later than 1 year 

after the date of enactment of this Act to the Committee on 

Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, the 

Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives, and the Committees on Armed Services of the

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Requirement for barge design (sec. 3515) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3508) that 

would require the Maritime Administrator to complete the design 

for a containerized, articulated barge, as identified in the 

dual-use vessel study carried out by the Administrator and the 

Secretary of Defense, that would be able to utilize rollon/roll-off, or load-on/load-off technology in marine highway 

maritime commerce. The provision would require that the 

Administrator complete that design within 270 days after the 

date of enactment of this Act. 
399 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Eligibility to receive surplus training equipment (sec. 3516) 

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3509) that 

would expand the eligibility to receive surplus training 

equipment from the Maritime Administration to include training

District of Columbia. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

 The House recedes. 

Coordination with other laws (sec. 3517) 

The conferees understand that the Senate passed the Coast 

Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2012 (H.R. 2838), 

clearing the measure for the President. Some provisions in that 

Act coincide with provisions in title XXXV of this Act. In most 

cases, the language in the two Acts is identical, but in others 

it is not. 

Therefore, the conference agreement includes a provision 

that would avoid sending conflicting guidance that could be 

confusing about congressional intent.

would establish the title of this section as the “Maritime 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013.”
