11 SEC. 323. PROVISION OF UNCONTAMINATED WATER FOR 

12 AGRICULTURAL USE ON LAND CONTAMI13 NATED BY PFOS AND PFOA USED ON MILI14 TARY INSTALLATIONS. 

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

16 (1) Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (in this section 

17 referred to as ‘‘PFOS’’) and perfluorooctanoic acid 

18 (in this section referred to as ‘‘PFOA’’) are part of 

19 a class of man-made chemicals that have been used in 

20 a variety of industrial and consumer products to 

21 make the products resist heat, stains, water, and 

22 grease. Because PFOS and PFOA extinguish petro23 leum fires quickly, the Department of Defense and 

24 commercial airports began using aqueous film form25 ing foam containing PFOS and PFOA in the 1970s. 


pamtmann on DSKBFK8HB2PROD with BILLS
145 

•HR 2500 RH

1 (2) PFOS and PFOA can accumulate and stay 

2 in the body for long periods of time. Exposure to 

3 PFOS and PFOA may cause health problems, includ4 ing issues with the reproductive system, liver and kid5 ney damage, developmental issues in children, and 

6 negatively impacted immune system, and cancer. 

7 (3) A common method of human exposure to 

8 PFOS and PFOA is by consuming contaminated 

9 drinking water. 

10 (4) The Environmental Protection Agency issued 

11 lifetime health advisories under the Safe Drinking 

12 Water Act for individual or combined PFOS and 

13 PFOA concentrations at 70 parts per trillion in 

14 2016, but has not yet issued any guidance or regula15 tion for groundwater or agricultural water. 

16 (5) The Department of Defense has provided 

17 mitigations in many communities where drinking 

18 water has tested at or above the lifetime health advi19 sory level, including bottled water and drinking water 

20 filtration systems. Due to the lack of regulatory guid21 ance, these mitigations have not been mirrored in ag22 ricultural water systems. 

23 (6) As a result, farmers located adjacent to mili24 tary installations with PFOS and PFOA contamina25 tion that has migrated off-installation are potentially

3 dairy farmer. 

4 (b) AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE UNCONTAMINATED

5 WATER FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES.— 

6 (1) IN GENERAL.—If an area has been identified 

7 under paragraph (2), and a military installation has 

8 been determined to be the source of that contamina9 tion, the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary con10 cerned may provide, for the purpose of producing ag11 ricultural products destined for human consump12 tion— 

13 (A) water sources uncontaminated with 

14 perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in15 cluding PFOA and PFOS, or 

16 (B) treatment of contaminated waters. 

17 (2) IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS.—An area identi18 fied under this paragraph is an area for which the 

19 level of PFOA or PFOS contamination— 

20 (A) is above the lifetime health advisory for 

21 contamination for such compounds as issued by 

22 the Environmental Protection Agency and print23 ed in the Federal Register on May 25, 2016;

1 servation mission teams, conducting several hundred 

2 training and observation missions with other coun3 tries. 

4 (2) This commitment by the United States has 

5 helped to confirm and refine operational procedures, 

6 to improve implementation and effectiveness of the 

7 Open Skies Treaty, and provide United States leader8 ship and engagement opportunities that have sup9 ported broader objectives and improved European 

10 transparency. 

11 (3) The Open Skies Treaty provides signatories 

12 with the ability to gather information through aerial 

13 imaging on military forces and activities of concern 

14 to them which contributes to greater transparency 

15 and stability in the Euro-Atlantic region, which bene16 fits both the United States and United States allies

2 used with respect to the Open Skies Treaty are ill3 suited to extreme operating environments in Russia

7 (6) The OSTAR effort will provide a United 

8 States aircraft capability that allows the United 

9 States to fully implement the goals and objectives of 

10 the Open Skies Treaty. 

11 (7) The United States also demonstrated in De12 cember 2018, along with United States allies of Can13 ada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Ro14 mania, that Open Skies Treaty mechanisms can be 

15 used during times of crisis. 

16 (8) Following Russia’s unprovoked attack on

20 over Ukraine to reaffirm commitment to Ukraine.

20 and missile defense capability through the acquisition 

21 of the Patriot system from the United States.

1 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and 

2 should preclude Turkey’s participation in the F-35

5 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 

6 (1) supports the efforts of the United States Gov7 ernment to achieve a satisfactory arrangement with 

8 Turkey by which Turkey acquires the Patriot system 

9 to defend its airspace, which would preserve Turkey 

10 as a production partner in the F-35 JSF consortium

14 under United States or NATO operational control, for 

15 the purpose of providing Turkey with an interim ca16 pability to address urgent vulnerabilities in Turkey’s 

17 air and missile defense during the period in which an 

18 agreement is reached for Turkey’s acquisition of the 

19 Patriot system; and 

20 (3) notes that any such deployment of the Pa21 triot or a NATO interoperable system in the interim 

22 is contingent on Turkey’s commitment to cancel the

1 Subtitle H—Baltic Reassurance Act 

2 SEC. 1271. FINDINGS. 

3 Congress finds the following: 

4 (1) Russia seeks to diminish the North Atlantic 

5 Treaty Organization (NATO) and recreate its sphere 

6 of influence in Europe using coercion, intimidation, 

7 and outright aggression. 

8 (2) Deterring Russia from such aggression is 

9 vital for transatlantic security. 

10 (3) The illegal occupation of Crimea by Russia 

11 and its continued engagement of destabilizing and 

12 subversive activities against independent and free 

13 states is of increasing concern. 

14 (4) Russia also continues to disregard treaties, 

15 international laws and rights to freedom of naviga16 tion, territorial integrity, and sovereign international 

17 borders. 

18 (5) Russia’s continued occupation of Georgian 

19 and Ukrainian territories and the sustained military 

20 buildup in Russia’s Western Military District and 

21 Kaliningrad has threatened continental peace and 

22 stability. 

23 (6) The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and 

24 Lithuania are particularly vulnerable to an increas25 ingly aggressive and subversive Russia.

1 (7) In a declaration to celebrate 100 years of 

2 independence of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania 

3 issued on April 3, 2018, the Trump Administration 

4 reaffirmed United States commitments to these Baltic 

5 countries to ‘‘improve military readiness and capa6 bilities through sustained security assistance’’ and 

7 ‘‘explore new ideas and opportunities, including air 

8 defense, bilaterally and in NATO, to enhance deter9 rence across the region’’. 

10 (8) These highly valued NATO allies of the 

11 United States have repeatedly demonstrated their 

12 commitment to advancing mutual interests as well as 

13 those of the NATO alliance. 

14 (9) The Baltic countries also continue to partici15 pate in United States-led exercises to further promote 

16 coordination, cooperation, and interoperability 

17 among allies and partner countries, and continue to 

18 demonstrate their reliability and commitment to pro19 vide for their own defense.

11 (2) The United States should lead a multilateral

13 with Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, NATO allies, and 

14 other regional partners, to deter against aggression 

15 from Russia in the Baltic region, specifically in areas 

16 that would strengthen interoperability, joint capabili17 ties, and military readiness necessary for Baltic coun18 tries to strengthen their national resilience. 

19 (3) The United States should explore the feasi20 bility of providing additional air and missile defense 

21 systems in the Baltic region, including through 

22 leveraging cost-sharing mechanisms and multilateral 

23 deployment with NATO allies to reduce financial bur24 dens on host countries.

1 SEC. 1607. INDEPENDENT STUDY ON PLAN FOR DETER2 RENCE IN SPACE. 

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

4 (1) Threats to space systems of the United States 

5 have increased and continue to grow. 

6 (2) While the United States must invest in capa7 bilities to defend such systems in the event of an at8 tack in space, the United States must also identify 

9 and implement policies that will reduce the likelihood 

10 of such an attack. 

11 (3) The United States is developing new capa12 bilities for enhancing resilience of such systems. 

13 (4) However, the proper balance between active 

14 defense, resilience, and the still lagging investment 

15 area of reconstitution to enhance deterrence remains 

16 unclear, as does the balance between classified and 

17 unclassified activities needed to create deterrence.
