25 Department.

•HR 5122 EH

14 hiring the best qualified workers, and increase 

15 the cost to the Government of national security16 related contracts.

7 clearance application process and make sys8 temic improvements to the Personnel Security 

9 Investigations Program.

21 be accomplished as safely and expeditiously as pos22 sible. 

23 (2) It is apparent, however, that any disposal 

24 method for chemical weapons that involves the 
369

•HR 5122 EH 

1 transportation of chemical munitions or processed 

2 chemical munitions is difficult to implement 

3 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of these findings, 

4 it is the sense of Congress that, when chemical munitions 

5 or processed chemical munitions are proposed for treat6 ment or disposal at a location remote from the location 

7 where the munitions are stored—

8 (1) the method of actually selecting the disposal 

9 location should be free from political interference;

1 SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE. 

2 This title may be cited as the ‘‘Homeland Defense 

3 Technology Transfer Act of 2006’’. 

4 SEC. 1402. FINDINGS. 

5 Congress finds the following: 

6 (1) The Federal Government funds billions of 

7 dollars for research each year that has the potential 

8 to meet the needs of Federal, State, and local first 

9 responders, yet examples of successful technology 

10 transitions are few and far between. 

11 (2) Congress has made repeated efforts to au12 thorize the Department of Defense to effectively 

13 transfer its technologies to Federal, State, and local 

14 first responders. However, while progress has been 

15 made in implementing these authorities, this process 

16 can be significantly improved. 

17 (3) Although the Department of Defense Strat18 egy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support calls 

19 for active participation in an interagency process 

20 that improves interoperability and compatibility with 

21 public safety technologies and initiatives, greater 

22 participation is needed to ensure that all tech23 nologies used by the Department of Defense in their 

24 homeland defense mission are interoperable and 

25 compatible with standards being developed for public 

26 safety technologies. 
471

•HR 5122 EH 

1 (4) Even when technologies with promise have 

2 been identified, additional research and development 

3 efforts are needed to adapt these technologies into 

4 readily available, affordable products. No program 

5 with a sense of urgency to quickly produce results 

6 exists to bridge this gap. 

7 (5) Tragedies such as Hurricanes Katrina and 

8 Rita demonstrate the need for prompt, decisive ac9 tion by Congress to solve a problem that has eluded 

10 attempts by the Department of Defense to solve. 

11 (6) Legislation is needed to codify the process 

12 for effectively moving and adapting needed tech13 nologies from the Department of Defense to Federal, 

14 State, and local first responders so that the lives of 

15 the American public and emergency responders are 

16 protected to the maximum extent possible. 

17 SEC. 1403. CREATION OF HOMELAND DEFENSE TECH18 NOLOGY TRANSFER CONSORTIUM. 

19 (a) AUTHORIZATION OF CONSORTIUM.—In order to 

20 improve the speed and effectiveness of identifying, evalu21 ating, deploying, and transferring to Federal, State, and 

22 local first responders technology items and equipment in 

23 support of homeland security as required by section 1401 

24 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for 

25 Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107–314; 50 U.S.C. 2312 
472

•HR 5122 EH 

1 note) and work towards interoperability and compatibility 

2 of inter-agency homeland defense and security tech3 nologies, it is urgent that the technology adaptation and 

4 transfer process be consistent within the Department of 

5 Defense. Towards that end, the Secretary of Defense, in 

6 coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, is 

7 authorized to create a Homeland Defense–Homeland Se8 curity Technology Transfer Consortium. 

9 (b) COMPOSITION OF CONSORTIUM.—To contribute 

10 to the rapid development and adoption of new technologies 

11 needed to ensure the safety of the United States public 

12 and the welfare of emergency service providers, the Home13 land Defense–Homeland Security Technology Transfer 

14 Consortium shall be composed of—

15 (1) organizations and entities working with the 

16 Department of Defense; 

17 (2) the Department of Homeland Security; 

18 (3) Federal, State, and local first responders; 

19 and 

20 (4) other relevant Federal agencies with estab21 lished expertise in identifying, assessing, testing, 

22 evaluating, and training emergency response and 

23 other public safety entities. 

24 (c) AUTHORITIES OF CONSORTIUM.—
473

•HR 5122 EH 

1 (1) PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS.—The Homeland 

2 Defense–Homeland Security Technology Transfer 

3 Consortium shall systematize—

4 (A) the process for the identification, as5 sessment, adaptation, and transition of defense 

6 technologies that have the potential to enhance 

7 public safety and improve homeland security, 

8 thereby assisting the Department of Defense in 

9 meeting its statutory obligation to identify, 

10 evaluate, deploy, and transfer to Federal, State, 

11 and local first responders technology items and 

12 equipment of homeland security; and 

13 (B) the process of coordinating and acting 

14 as liaison on behalf of the Department of De15 fense and the Department of Homeland Secu16 rity with other Federal agencies as appropriate 

17 to collect and prioritize Federal, State, and 

18 local first responder technology requirements al19 ready gathered by those entities. 

20 (2) FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS.—The Con21 sortium shall submit recommendations to the Sec22 retary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland 

23 Security for funding for the development, adapta24 tion, test and evaluation, or other needed activities 

25 for any technology identified under paragraph (1) 
474

•HR 5122 EH 

1 with a high potential to benefit Federal, State, and 

2 local first responders. 

3 (3) TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION.—The Consor4 tium may assist in the integration of new tech5 nologies into appropriate first responder training ex6 ercises to maximize their rapid adoption as well as 

7 disseminating best practices in the profession. 

8 (4) INTEROPERABILITY AND COMPATIBILITY.—

9 The Consortium, under the direction of the Sec10 retary of Defense and in coordination with the Sec11 retary of Homeland Security, shall act as liaison 

12 with relevant Federal agencies, as well as Federal, 

13 State, and local first responders where appropriate, 

14 to work towards ensuring that technologies used by 

15 the Department of Defense in its homeland defense 

16 mission are interoperable and compatible with stand17 ards being developed for technologies used by Fed18 eral, State, and local first responders. 

19 (d) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CONSORTIUM.—The 

20 Homeland Defense–Homeland Security Technology 

21 Transfer Consortium shall submit to the President and 

22 Congress an annual report on its activities. Each report 

23 shall include, at a minimum—

24 (1) a listing of specific Department of Defense 

25 and related technologies it has identified that appear

7 (3) a listing of any recommendations the Con8 sortium has made to the Department of Defense or 

9 the Department of Homeland Security that develop10 mental, adaptive, test and evaluation, or other fund11 ing be provided related to the development and de12 ployment of technologies identified by the Consor13 tium of particular interest for meeting the needs of
