22 SEC. 800. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DESIRED TENETS 

23 OF THE DEFENSE ACQUISITION SYSTEM. 

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


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
299 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (1) The Committee on Armed Services of the 

2 House of Representatives held a series of hearings in 

3 2013, 2014, and 2015 gathering testimony from key 

4 acquisition leaders and experts. It is clear that the ac5 quisition reform efforts of the last 50 years continue 

6 to founder because they fail to address the motiva7 tional and environmental factors in which they must 

8 be implemented. The acquisition system, though frus9 trating to all, is in one sense in equilibrium. The ac10 quisition system provides enough benefits to pro11 ponents and opponents to continue, with only minor 

12 changes, despite its shortcomings. 

13 (2) The Armed Forces continue to pursue too 

14 many defense acquisitions, chasing too few dollars. 

15 Consequently, there remains a vast difference between 

16 the budgeting plans of the Department and the reality 

17 of the cost of its systems or the services it acquires. 

18 (3) To keep programs alive, the Department de19 velops and Congress accepts fragile acquisition strate20 gies that downplay technical issues and assume only 

21 successful outcomes from high-risk efforts. As a result, 

22 the Department often ends up with too few weapons, 

23 with performance that falls short, that are difficult 

24 and costly to maintain, delivered late at too high a 

25 cost. Congressional and Department of Defense leaderVerDate Sep 11 2014 19:20 May 05, 2015 Jkt 049200 PO 00000 Frm 00299 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6203 E:\BILLS\H1735.RH H1735

•HR 1735 RH

1 ship have limited insight into the services acquired or 

2 what services need to be acquired in the future. Fur3 thermore, the conventional acquisition process is not 

4 agile enough for today’s demands. Finally, the De5 partment of Defense continues to struggle with finan6 cial management and auditability, affecting its abil7 ity to control costs, ensure basic accountability, an8 ticipate future costs and claims on the budget, and 

9 measure performance. 

10 (4) Too often today, all stakeholders in the De11 partment of Defense, Congress, and industry, accept 

12 that— 

13 (A) for the acquisition process, success is de14 fined as maximizing technical performance or 

15 protecting organizational interests, without re16 gard to funding disruptions and delivery delays 

17 of needed capability or services to the warfighter; 

18 and 

19 (B) the acquisition process is— 

20 (i) reactive, meaning issues are ad21 dressed late and at great cost only after 

22 problems are realized; 

23 (ii) plodding, meaning the bureau24 cratic processes are sclerotic and cum25 bersome; 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
301 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (iii) opaque, meaning that limiting in2 formation is necessary to protect programs; 

3 and 

4 (iv) traditional, meaning that cus5 tomary approaches and suppliers are pre6 ferred over perceived risk of new or unique 

7 concepts and vendors. 

8 (5) Today, the United States is at a cross-roads, 

9 and if changes to the acquisition system are not made 

10 soon, the trend of fewer and more costly systems and 

11 services that fall short of the needs of the Armed 

12 Forces will continue. Congress, the Department of De13 fense, and industry all have a stake in making posi14 tive changes. Each plays a role in contributing to the 

15 current system. Each gains benefits from that system, 

16 but each is frustrated by it as well. 

17 (6) The acquisition improvement effort of the 

18 Committee on Armed Services of the House of Rep19 resentatives proposes a different approach from pre20 vious efforts by seeking to improve the environment 

21 (i.e., statutes, regulations, processes, and culture) 

22 driving acquisition decisions in the Department of 

23 Defense, industry, and Congress. The Committee has 

24 solicited input from industry and the Department of 

25 Defense, as well as others in Congress, and will conVerDate Sep 11 2014 19:20 May 05, 2015 Jkt 049200 PO 00000 Frm 00301 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6203 E:\BILLS\H1735.RH H1735

1 tinue to do so. The Committee recognizes that there 

2 are no ‘‘silver bullets’’ that can immediately fix the 

3 current acquisition system in a holistic and long4 standing manner. Therefore, the reform effort will be 

5 an ongoing and iterative process that will result in 

6 legislation not only this year, but will be embedded in 

7 the Committee’s annual and regular work. 

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE TENETS OF AN IM9 PROVED ACQUISITION SYSTEM.—It is the sense of Congress 

10 that all stakeholders in the acquisition system—the Depart11 ment of Defense, Congress, and industry—should be gov12 erned by the following tenets: 

13 (1) SUCCESS.—Success in the acquisition system 

14 means the timely delivery of affordable and effective 

15 military equipment and services. 

16 (2) PROACTIVE.—The acquisition system should 

17 be proactive, meaning— 

18 (A) the system should recognize that devel19 opment and acquisition problems can occur; and 

20 (B) officials at all levels should be empow21 ered to solve problems and reduce risks by sur22 facing issues early and honestly and taking ac23 tion to resolve them. 

24 (3) AGILE.—The acquisition system should be 

25 agile, meaning that needed program adjustments to 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
303 

•HR 1735 RH

1 both respond to emerging threats and the rapid pace 

2 of technological change and to address development or 

3 production issues should be proposed and adjudicated 

4 quickly. 

5 (4) TRANSPARENT.—The acquisition system 

6 should be transparent, meaning that— 

7 (A) all decision makers should be given use8 ful, relevant, credible, and reliable information 

9 when making commitments; 

10 (B) Government and industry communica11 tion should be clear and open; and 

12 (C) the Department of Defense should 

13 produce auditable financial management state14 ments. 

15 (5) INNOVATIVE.—The acquisition system should 

16 be innovative, meaning that barriers should be re17 moved that preclude companies from undertaking de18 fense business or officials from proposing new ap19 proaches.

13 Acquisition and Related Matters 

14 SEC. 821. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DESIRED CHARAC15 TERISTICS FOR THE WEAPON SYSTEMS AC16 QUISITION SYSTEM. 

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

18 (1) CURRENT SITUATION.—Despite significant 

19 and repeated attempts at acquisition reform, the De20 partment of Defense still experiences case after case of 

21 expensive weapon system acquisition failures. The De22 partment of Defense has a track record of too many 

23 cancellations, schedule slippages, cost over-runs, and 

24 failures to deliver timely solutions to the requirements 

25 of the Armed Forces. This situation is unacceptable. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
321 

•HR 1735 RH

1 For example, according to the Final Report of the 

2 2010 Army Acquisition Review, between 1996 and 

3 2010, the Army expended approximately $1 billion to 

4 $3 billion annually on two dozen programs that were 

5 eventually cancelled. No military service and no type 

6 of weapon acquisition has been immune. 

7 (2) PROBLEMS IN ALL PHASES OF ACQUISI8 TIONS.— 

9 (A) Despite detailed weapon acquisition 

10 processes and procedures, there is only limited 

11 discipline in starting programs. Many programs 

12 begin without a solid foundation. They have too 

13 many requirements deemed ‘‘critical’’, which are 

14 driven by too many organizations and individ15 uals. Approved requirements are often set with 

16 only a limited understanding of the technical 

17 feasibility of achieving them. The resulting com18 promises of good program management and en19 gineering judgment that allow the programs to 

20 proceed are the ‘‘spackle’’ of the acquisition sys21 tem that covers up the risks and enables the sys22 tem to operate. 

23 (B) As these weapon systems proceed into 

24 engineering and manufacturing development, 

25 they often encounter development problems leadVerDate Sep 11 2014 19:20 May 05, 2015 Jkt 049200 PO 00000 Frm 00321 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6203 E:\BILLS\H1735.RH H1735

1 ing to cost growth, schedule delay, and perform2 ance reductions. Industry and Government offi3 cials frequently respond by taking additional de4 velopment risks to resolve basic performance 

5 issues by reducing the time to analyze and assess 

6 development results, overlapping key development 

7 efforts, and reducing testing. The Department of 

8 Defense and Congress disrupt the planned fund9 ing of stable programs to find resources for trou10 bled programs or to fund across-the-board spend11 ing cuts. Funding instability is the inevitable 

12 price that programs pay for survival because 

13 funding disruptions actually keep more pro14 grams alive. 

15 (C) Finally, these weapons are often rushed 

16 into production only to encounter production 

17 problems, and are fielded with many unknowns 

18 or deficiencies leading to significantly reduced 

19 quantities and force structure reductions. The 

20 warfighter faces the challenge of operating weap21 ons with poor reliability, high maintenance de22 mands, reduced performance, and many capa23 bility shortfalls. 

24 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.— 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
323 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (1) IN GENERAL.—It is the sense of Congress 

2 that, in accordance with the tenets described in sec3 tion 800, to improve weapon system acquisitions, the 

4 Department of Defense, Congress, and industry should 

5 develop an acquisition system characterized by highly 

6 disciplined program initiation coupled with agile 

7 program execution and balanced oversight, as de8 scribed in paragraphs (2), (3), and (4). 

9 (2) HIGHLY DISCIPLINED PROGRAM INITI10 ATION.—An acquisition system characterized by high11 ly disciplined program initiation means that pro12 grams do not begin engineering development until 

13 firm requirements are matched to a flexible acquisi14 tion strategy structured to develop militarily useful 

15 capability that can be delivered in a relevant period 

16 of time with available technologies, funding, and 

17 management capacity. Such a highly disciplined pro18 gram initiation includes— 

19 (A) a workforce with smart requirements 

20 setters and expert buyers, with the knowledge, 

21 skills, and experience to successfully plan for and 

22 execute highly complex acquisitions; 

23 (B) requirements that are well-defined, tech24 nically feasible, and affordable; 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
324 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (C) acquisition strategies that are designed 

2 to minimize time to market of militarily useful 

3 capability, with the program concerned being 

4 structured so that— 

5 (i) lower-risk, technically mature capa6 bilities are matched to delivering capability 

7 to the warfighter in the near term, while re8 maining requirements are aligned and re9 sources are programmed to support integra10 tion into later increments to meet the re11 quirements of the Armed Forces; 

12 (ii) capabilities are approved for an 

13 increment only when their developmental 

14 risks have been appropriately reduced; and 

15 (iii) increments are planned to com16 plete engineering and manufacturing devel17 opment in a reasonable period of time; 

18 (D) a science and technology development 

19 enterprise that is responsive to the acquisition 

20 process before engineering and manufacturing 

21 development begins, and sufficiently resourced to 

22 reduce risks and enable programs to make smart 

23 decisions without losing critical funds; and 

24 (E) redtape reduction in order to free up 

25 program and Department officials to focus on 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
325 

•HR 1735 RH

1 their mission of defining an executable program 

2 and understanding and addressing risks. 

3 (3) AGILE PROGRAM EXECUTION.—An acquisi4 tion system characterized by agile program execution 

5 means a system in which acquisition speed and flexi6 bility to make trade-offs are balanced with the need 

7 to achieve desired technical performance. Such agile 

8 program execution includes— 

9 (A) program managers and program offi10 cials who are expert buyers and negotiators who 

11 anticipate problems, negotiate solutions, and are 

12 empowered to manage; 

13 (B) a preference for fixed price contracting 

14 where appropriate for the size and complexity of 

15 the work and for the nature and scope of the ca16 pabilities being developed; 

17 (C) program managers who avoid increas18 ing program risk by resisting the addition of 

19 new requirements or the reduction of develop20 mental activities; 

21 (D) empowering program managers and 

22 senior decisionmakers to make decisions easily in 

23 order to move forward with capabilities that ma24 ture quickly, cancel those that encounter greater 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
326 

•HR 1735 RH

1 difficulties than expected, and trade-off or reduce 

2 requirements to maintain cost and schedule; 

3 (E) enabling program managers to focus on 

4 overcoming execution challenges and delivering 

5 success rather than concentrating on compliance 

6 with reporting, certifications, and other redtape; 

7 and 

8 (F) senior decisionmakers who have knowl9 edge of demonstrated performance as programs 

10 proceed through development, with robust devel11 opmental testing occurring before committing to 

12 production for operational use as a basis for de13 cision making. 

14 (4) BALANCED OVERSIGHT.—An acquisition sys15 tem characterized by balanced oversight means that 

16 the focus is on ensuring discipline initiating pro17 grams and that appropriate adjustments are made 

18 during development, so that programs have the best 

19 chance to succeed. Such balanced oversight includes— 

20 (A) involvement by decisionmakers early to 

21 ensure that an understanding of trade-offs, risks, 

22 and needs are considered, resourced, and vali23 dated, and that agreement is reached between the 

24 executive and legislative branches; 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
327 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (B) acceptance by decisionmakers that com2 plex weapon system developments are inherently 

3 risky and require expertise and flexibility to 

4 manage effectively; 

5 (C) conscious decisions by decisionmakers 

6 regarding where to accept risk, while ensuring 

7 that risk mitigation plans are resourced (with 

8 time, funding, alternatives, and competent gov9 ernment and contractor officials); 

10 (D) measuring and monitoring by decision11 makers of the right factors, such as technology 

12 maturation progress and systems engineering 

13 during risk reduction, development cost growth 

14 during engineering and manufacturing develop15 ment, and reliability growth during system dem16 onstration; 

17 (E) work by Congress and the Department 

18 of Defense, once a program has begun, to resolve 

19 issues by considering trade-offs among cost, 

20 schedule, and performance necessary to best sup21 port the warfighter; and 

22 (F) congressional understanding of risks 

23 and efforts to mitigate such risks even if they are 

24 through non-traditional means or other techno25 logical advances.

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

16 (1) Given the size and scope of the Department 

17 of Defense, the effort to finish and institutionalize 

18 auditability is one of the more challenging manage19 ment tasks that has ever faced the Department. 

20 (2) The acquisition of services by the Department 

21 abides by many rules and parameters, one of which 

22 is the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) 

23 evaluation method. 

24 (3) The Department’s audit effort is extremely 

25 complicated, requiring personnel and assistance who 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
394 

•HR 1735 RH

1 have the financial management and auditor skills 

2 that a non-independent public accounting firm or a 

3 non-credentialed firm offering the lowest price may 

4 not have. 

5 (4) In order for the Department to meet the Sep6 tember 30, 2017, audit readiness statutory deadline 

7 and the March 31, 2019, audit of fiscal year 2018 

8 statutory deadline, it is imperative that the Depart9 ment not sacrifice contracts with firms who have the 

10 proper credentials and expertise to meet these dead11 lines. 

12 (5) The LPTA evaluation method is appropriate 

13 for commercial or non-complex services or supplies 

14 where the requirement is clearly definable and the 

15 risk of unsuccessful contract performance is minimal. 

16 However, audit and audit readiness services are com17 plex and evolving. 

18 (b) REQUIREMENTS BEFORE USING LPTA EVALUA19 TION METHOD.—Before using the lowest price, technically 

20 acceptable evaluation method for the procurement of audit 

21 or audit readiness services, the Secretary of Defense shall— 

22 (1) establish the values and metrics for the serv23 ices being procured, including domain expertise and 

24 experience, size and scope of offeror’s team, personnel

1 SEC. 904. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES 

2 MARINE CORPS. 

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

4 (1) As senior United States statesman Dr. 

5 Henry Kissinger wrote in testimony submitted to the 

6 Senate Armed Services Committee on January 29, 

7 2015, ‘‘The United States has not faced a more di8 verse and complex array of crises since the end of the 

9 Second World War.’’. 

10 (2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer 

11 competitors has introduced destabilizing pressures 

12 around the globe. 

13 (3) Advances in information and weapons tech14 nology have reduced the time available for the United 

15 States to prepare for and respond to crises against 

16 both known and unknown threats. 

17 (4) The importance of the maritime domain can18 not be overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 

19 Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard maritime 

20 strategy, ‘‘A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century 

21 Seapower’’: ‘‘Oceans are the lifeblood of the inter22 connected global community. . . 90 percent of trade 

23 by volume travels across the oceans. Approximately 

24 70 percent of the world’s population lives within 100 

25 miles of the coastline.’’. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
401 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (5) The United States must be prepared to rap2 idly respond to crises around the world regardless of 

3 the nation’s fiscal health. 

4 (6) In this global security environment, it is 

5 critical that the nation possess a maritime force 

6 whose mission and ethos is readiness—a fight tonight 

7 force, forward deployed, that can respond imme8 diately to emergent crises across the full range of 

9 military operations around the globe either from the 

10 sea or home station. 

11 (7) The need for such a force was recognized by 

12 the 82nd Congress after the major wars of the twen13 tieth century, when it mandated a core mission for 

14 the nation’s leanest force—the Marine Corps—to be 

15 most ready when the nation is least ready. 

16 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.— 

17 (1) It is the sense of Congress that— 

18 (A) the Marine Corps, within the Depart19 ment of the Navy, remain the Nation’s expedi20 tionary, crisis response force; 

21 (B) the need for such a force with such a ca22 pability has never been greater; and 

23 (C) accordingly, in recognition of this need 

24 and the wisdom of the 82nd Congress, the 114th 

25 Congress reaffirms section 5063 of title 10,

1 United States Code, uniquely charging the 

2 United States Marine Corps with this responsi3 bility. 

4 (2) It is further the sense of Congress that the 

5 Marine Corps— 

6 (A) shall— 

7 (i) be organized to include not less 

8 than three combat divisions and three air 

9 wings, and such other land combat, avia10 tion, and other services as may be organic 

11 therein; 

12 (ii) be organized, trained, and 

13 equipped to provide fleet marine forces of 

14 combined arms, together with supporting 

15 air components, for service with the fleet in 

16 the seizure or defense of advanced naval 

17 bases and for the conduct of such land oper18 ations as may be essential to the prosecu19 tion of a naval campaign; and 

20 (iii) provide detachments and organi21 zations for service on armed vessels of the 

22 Navy, shall provide security detachments for

14 OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MANAGEMENT 

15 HEADQUARTERS. 

16 (a) FINDINGS.— 

17 (1) On July 31, 2013, the then Secretary of De18 fense stated that the Department would ‘‘reduc[e] the 

19 Department’s major headquarters budgets by 20 per20 cent. . .Although the 20 percent cut applies to budget 

21 dollars, organizations will strive for a goal of 20 per22 cent reductions in government civilians and military 

23 personnel.’’ The then Secretary further stated that

1 partment’s overhead and operating costs by...$10 bil2 lion over the next five years.’’. 

3 (2) Furthermore, the President’s budget request 

4 for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2015 

5 stated that reductions to management headquarters 

6 staff and consolidation of duplicative efforts across the 

7 Department would result in a savings of $5.3 billion 

8 over 5 years—through fiscal year 2019. However, as 

9 noted by the Government Accountability Office in a 

10 January 2015 report (GAO-15-10), the Department 

11 accounted for $5.3 billion as efficiency savings in its 

12 budget request, but has not provided specific details 

13 on the reductions to management headquarters’ staff 

14 it plans to make. 

15 (3) In June 2014, the Government Account16 ability Office found (in GAO-14-439) that the Depart17 ment did not have an accurate accounting of the re18 sources being devoted to management headquarters to 

19 use as a starting point for tracking reductions to such 

20 headquarters. In April 2015, the Government Ac21 countability Office reported (in GAO-15-404SP) that 

22 focusing reductions on management headquarters 

23 budgets and personnel, which tend to be inconsistently 

24 defined and often represent a small portion of the 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
405 

•HR 1735 RH

1 overall headquarters, shields much of the resources 

2 identified for potential reduction. 

3 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 

4 that— 

5 (1) the Secretary of Defense’s commitment in 

6 July 2013 to a goal of a 20 percent reduction in 

7 headquarters budgets and personnel and a goal of $10 

8 billion in cost savings over five years is worthwhile 

9 and should be fully implemented; 

10 (2) without a clear baseline for management 

11 headquarters, it is difficult to demonstrate and track 

12 progress achieving actual savings; 

13 (3) any reduction in personnel should not be im14 plemented as an across-the-board cut, but rather 

15 should be strategically designed to retain critical 

16 functions, capabilities, and skill sets—including but 

17 not limited to depots and the acquisition workforce— 

18 and eliminate unnecessary or redundant functions or 

19 skill sets that do not benefit or support mission re20 quirements; 

21 (4) functions should be performed at the lowest 

22 appropriate organizational level and those organiza23 tions should be empowered and held accountable; 

24 (5) duplicative functions at higher level organi25 zations should be eliminated; and 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
406 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (6) the movement of a function from a manage2 ment headquarters to a different Department of De3 fense organization or a lower level organization does 

4 not result in an efficiency, since the same budget is 

5 still required to perform that function. 

6 (c) REQUIREMENT TO IMPLEMENT 20 PERCENT RE7 DUCTION IN MANAGEMENT HEADQUARTERS FUNCTIONS.— 

8 Section 904 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

9 Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113–66; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) 

10 is amended by adding at the end the following new sub11 section: 

12 ‘‘(e) IMPLEMENTATION OF MANAGEMENT HEAD13 QUARTERS REDUCTION.—The Secretary of Defense shall 

14 implement the 20 percent reduction directed by the Sec15 retary in July 2013 in management headquarters budget

17 Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan . . . the Islamic 

18 State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) conducted 

19 more attacks than any other terrorist group in 

20 the first nine months of 2014.’’. 

21 (B) ‘‘Since the conflict began, more than

8 Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and, most recently, 

9 al-Shabaab are calling on their supporters to 

10 conduct lone-wolf attacks against the United 

11 States and other Western countries. Of the 13 at12 tacks in the West since last May, 12 were con13 ducted by individual extremists.’’. 

14 (5) AQAP continues to be one of al-Qaeda’s most 

15 capable affiliates, has the intent and capability to at16 tack the United States and its allies, and attempted 

17 attacks inside the United States on December 25, 

18 2009, and October 27, 2010. 

19 (6) Iran has been a Department of State-des20 ignated state sponsor of terrorism since January 19,

4 run? It is unmistakable that our policies have failed 

5 . . . And the unequivocal explanation is U.S. policy 

6 has focused on disengaging from the Middle East.’’. 

7 (8) In testimony before the Committee on Armed 

8 Services of the Senate, former commander of United 

9 States Central Command, General James Mattis (re10 tired), stated, ‘‘We have lived too long in a strategy11 free mode . . . America needs a refreshed national

20 and continues to actively work against United States

15 in the Middle East is a critical component of the ef16 fort to prevent the spread of Islamic extremism; 

17 (7) other actors, such as Russia, China, and Iran 

18 are trying to work against United States interests in 

19 the Middle East; 

20 (8) the United States should take a greater lead21 ership role in fighting Islamic extremism and sup22 porting stability in the Middle East to include coordi23 nating actions of United States allies and partners in

3 Plan of Action (CJPOA) provides sanctions relief in 

4 exchange for constraints on Iran’s nuclear program 

5 for a limited period of time. 

6 (2) Iran continues to develop ballistic missiles in 

7 violation of United Nations Security Council Resolu8 tions 1747 (2007) and 1929 (2010), has developed me9 dium-range ballistic missiles to target Israel and 

10 other United States allies, is working towards an

1 km to 5,500 km, or to possess or produce launchers

9 the Budapest Memorandum, the Istanbul Commit10 ments, the Presidential Nuclear Initiatives, the Mis11 sile Technology Control Regime, and the Russian Fed12 eration has recently withdrawn from the Treaty on

4 (5) General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint

6 it very clear that things like their compliance with 

7 the INF treaty that there will be political, diplomatic 

8 and potentially military costs in terms of the way we 

9 posture ourselves and the way we plan and work with 

10 our allies to address those provocations. . .It concerns

13 (6) The Secretary of Defense, Ashton B. Carter, 

14 testified that, ‘‘On the military side, we have begun

21 also that we both decided years ago was best for nei22 ther of us to take.’’. 

23 (7) The Department of Defense has been consid24 ering a range of military options to respond to the

1 these options would ‘‘aim to negate any advantage 

2 Russia might gain from deploying an INF-prohibited 

3 system, and all of these would be designed to make us 

4 more secure’’, and these options ‘‘fall into three broad 

5 categories: active defenses to counter intermediate6 range ground-launched cruise missiles; counterforce 

7 capabilities to prevent intermediate-range ground8 launched cruise missile attacks; and countervailing 

9 strike capabilities to enhance U.S. or allied forces.’’.

11 2009 that, ‘‘Rules must be binding. Violations must 

12 be punished. Words must mean something.’’.

3 the United States’ commitment to the Baltic States of 

4 Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and the United 

5 States-Baltic partnership’s shared goal of peace and 

6 stability in the region. Built upon the common values

9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings 

10 (1) September 2, 2015, marks the 70th anniver11 sary of the end of Allied military engagement in the

13 World War. 

14 (2) The United States entered the Second World 

15 War in December 1941, following the Empire of Ja16 pan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, and over the next four 

17 years Americans participated in what was arguably 

18 the greatest national endeavor in the Nation’s history. 

19 (3) The casualty toll of Americans in the Pacific 

20 theater during the Second World War was approxi21 mately 92,904 killed, 208,333 wounded, and tens of

10 Japan announced the unconditional surrender of Ja11 pan’s military forces, made formal on September 2, 

12 1945, aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay, 

13 Japan, thus ending the most devastating war in 

14 human history. 

15 (7) Japan is now a free and prosperous democ16 racy; a valued ally with shared values and mutual 

17 interests based on the principles of democracy, indi18 vidual liberty, and the rule of law, who serves as a 

19 cornerstone for peace and security in the region and 

20 for whom the United States seeks to further enhance 

21 security, economic, and diplomatic ties.

23 the United States Armed Forces and the military 

24 forces of the Allied Powers who served valiantly to

19 Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between 

20 the United States and Japan, that continues to be en21 hanced to maintain peace and prosperity in the re22 gion.

14 COOPERATION. 

15 (a) FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS.— 

16 (1) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

17 (A) Tunnels have been used for centuries 

18 around the world as a means of avoiding detec19 tion or circumventing defenses. 

20 (B) Tunnels can be used for criminal pur21 poses, such as smuggling drugs, weapons, or hu22 mans, or for terrorist or military purposes, such 

23 as launching surprise attacks or detonating ex24 plosives underneath infrastructure. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
599 

•HR 1735 RH

1 (C) Tunnels have been a growing threat on 

2 the southern border of the United States for more 

3 than 11 years, and the Department of Homeland 

4 Security has been working to address this threat. 

5 (D) The conflict in Gaza in 2014 showed 

6 that terrorists are now actively using tunnels as 

7 a means of attack, and news reports indicate 

8 that tunnels are being used in Syria as well. 

9 (E) Terrorist organizations are quick to 

10 adopt successful tactics, and it is only a matter 

11 of time before other terrorist organizations begin 

12 using tunnels. 

13 (F) The facilities of the United States, and 

14 those of the allies of the United States, could be 

15 under threat very quickly if tunnel threats con16 tinue to proliferate. 

17 (G) Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian 

18 Islamic Jihad are United States-designated ter19 rorist organizations. 

20 (H) Designated Palestinian terrorist orga21 nizations have killed hundreds of Israelis and 

22 dozens of Americans in rocket attacks and sui23 cide bombings. 

24 (I) Hamas has used underground tunnels to 

25 Israel and Egypt to smuggle weapons, money, 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
600 

•HR 1735 RH

1 and supplies into Gaza and to send members of 

2 Hamas out of Gaza for training and to bring 

3 trainers in to Gaza to teach Hamas how to man4 ufacture rockets and build better tunnels. Tun5 nels in Gaza have also been used as underground 

6 rocket launching sites, weapons caches, bunkers, 

7 transportation networks and command and con8 trol centers. 

9 (J) In 2006, Hamas kidnapped Israeli sol10 dier Gilad Shalit through a tunnel and held him 

11 for five years. 

12 (K) The Israel Defense Forces discovered 32 

13 tunnels during the conflict with Hamas in the 

14 summer of 2014, 14 of which crossed into Israel. 

15 (L) Hamas intentionally uses civilians as 

16 human shields by placing its underground tun17 nel network in densely populated areas and 

18 schools, hospitals, and mosques. 

19 (M) Hamas’s placement of explosive mate20 rial in its vast network of tunnels in Gaza has 

21 caused civilian casualties through secondary and 

22 tertiary explosions. 

23 (N) While the unemployment rate in Gaza 

24 is at 38 percent, it is estimated that Hamas 

25 spends $3,000,000 per tunnel.

•HR 1735 RH

1 (O) United Nations Secretary-General Ban 

2 Ki-moon said he was ‘‘shocked by the tunnels 

3 used for the infiltration of terrorists’’. 

4 (P) Hamas has claimed to be rebuilding 

5 tunnels in Gaza after the war with Israel in the 

6 summer of 2014. 

7 (Q) Hezbollah has used underground tun8 nels in southern Lebanon to move Hezbollah 

9 fighters and to launch attacks. 

10 (R) The Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims 

11 to be digging new tunnels on the Gaza border. 

12 Israel has a right to defend itself from the vio13 lence of Palestinian terrorist groups, including 

14 the violence that is facilitated through terrorist 

15 tunnel networks. 

16 (S) The United States is working coopera17 tively with the Government of Israel to develop 

18 technologies to detect and neutralize tunnels pen19 etrating the territory of Israel. 

20 (2) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of 

21 Congress that— 

22 (A) it is in the best interests of the United 

23 States to develop technology to detect and 

24 counter tunnels, and the best way to do this is

8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

9 (1) In February 2015, Lieutenant General 

10 James Clapper (retired), Director of National Intel11 ligence, testified to the Committee on Armed Services 

12 of the Senate that ‘‘Russian dominance over the 

13 former Soviet space is Russia’s highest foreign policy 

14 goal’’. 

15 (2) Russia, under the direction of President 

16 Vladimir Putin, has demonstrated its intent to ex17 pand its sphere of influence beyond its borders and 

18 limit Western influence in the region. 

19 (3) The Russian military is aggressively pos20 tured on the Ukrainian boarder and continues its 

21 buildup of military personnel and material. These ag22 gressive and unwarranted actions serve to intimidate, 

23 with a show of force, the Ukrainian people as well as 

24 the other nations in the region including Georgia, the 

25 Baltic States, and the Balkan States.

1 (4) In December 2014, Congress enacted the 

2 Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 (Public Law 

3 113–272), which gives the President the authority to 

4 expand assistance to Ukraine, increase economic sanc5 tions on Russia, and provide equipment to counter of6 fensive weapons. 

7 (5) In February 2015, the Atlantic Council, the 

8 Brookings Institute, and the Chicago Council on 

9 Global Affairs published a report entitled ‘‘Preserving 

10 Ukraine’s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggres11 sion: What the United States and NATO Must Do’’ 

12 advocating for increased United States assistance to 

13 Ukraine with nonlethal and lethal defensive equip14 ment. 

15 (6) Despite Russia signing the February 2015 

16 Minsk Agreement, it has continued to violate the 

17 terms of the agreement, as noted by Assistant Sec18 retary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, 

19 Victoria Nuland, at the German Marshall Fund Brus20 sels Forum in March 2015: ‘‘We’ve seen month on 

21 month, more lethal weaponry of a higher cal22 iber...poured into Ukraine by the separatist Russian 

23 allies...the number one thing is for Russia to stop

7 of Crimea in March 2014. 

8 (8) The Government of the Russian Federation 

9 continues to exert and increase undue influence on the 

10 free will of sovereign nations and people with intimi11 dation tactics, covert operations, cyber warfare, and 

12 other unconventional methods. 

13 (9) In testimony to the Committee on Armed

15 2015, Commander of European Command, General 

16 Philip Breedlove, United States Air Force, stated that 

17 ‘‘Russia has employed ‘hybrid warfare’...to illegally

1 (2) competition of the management and oper2 ating contracts of the nuclear security enterprise is 

3 an important mechanism to help realize cost savings,

6 (3) when the Administrator for Nuclear Security 

7 considers it appropriate to achieve these goals, the 

8 Administrator should conduct competition of these 

9 contracts while recognizing the unique nature of fed10 erally funded research and development centers; and 

11 (4) the Administrator should ensure that fixed 

12 fees and performance-based fees contained in manage13 ment and operating contracts are as low as possible 

14 to maintain a focus on national service while attract15 ing high-quality contractors and achieving the goals
