1 SEC. 352. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ACCESS TO TRAINING 

2 RANGES WITHIN UNITED STATES PACIFIC 

3 COMMAND AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. 

4 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find5 ings: 

6 (1) Reliable access to military training ranges is 

7 an essential component of military readiness. 

8 (2) The training opportunities provided by mili9 tary training ranges are critical to maintaining the 

10 technical and operational superiority of the Armed 

11 Forces. 

12 (3) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review 

13 states that the operational readiness of the Armed 

14 Forces hinges on unimpeded access to land, air, and 

15 sea training and test space. 

16 (4) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review 

17 states that United States forces in the Asia-Pacific 

18 region ‘‘will resume regular bilateral and multilateral 

19 training exercises, pursue increased training oppor20 tunities to improve capabilities and capacity of part21 ner nations, as well as support humanitarian, dis22 aster relief, counterterrorism, and other operations 

23 that contribute to the stability of the region’’. 

24 (5) A number of critical military training 

25 ranges, including the Pohakuloa Training Center in 

26 Hawaii, are located within the United States Pacific 
82 

•HR 4435 EH

1 Command area of responsibility providing units from 

2 all the military services, as well as allied and partner 

3 militaries with realistic joint and combined arms 

4 training opportunities. 

5 (6) Due to the ‘‘tyranny of distance’’ in the 

6 Asia-Pacific region, there are significant challenges 

7 in transporting equipment and personnel to the var8 ious military training ranges within the United 

9 States Pacific Command area of responsibility. 

10 (7) The Department of Defense continues a 

11 number of efforts aimed at preserving military train12 ing ranges, while also minimizing the environmental 

13 effects of training activities. 

14 (8) The Department of Defense has a variety of 

15 authorities that may be used to mitigate encroach16 ment on military testing and training missions. 

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of the findings 

18 specified in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that 

19 the Secretary of Defense should— 

20 (1) ensure that members of the Armed Forces 

21 continue to have reliable access to military training 

22 ranges; 

23 (2) optimize the use of multilateral, joint train24 ing facilities overseas in order to increase readiness 
83 

•HR 4435 EH

1 and interoperability with allies and partners of the 

2 United States; 

3 (3) utilize a full range of assets, including both 

4 air- and sea-based assets, including inactive Joint 

5 High Speed Vessels, to improve accessibility to mili6 tary training areas within the United States Pacific 

7 Command area of responsibility; 

8 (4) provide stable budget authority for long9 term investments in range and test center infra10 structure to lower the cost of access to the ranges 

11 and training centers; 

12 (5) take appropriate action to identify and le13 verage existing authorities and programs, as well as 

14 work with State and municipalities to leverage their 

15 authorities, to mitigate encroachment or other chal16 lenges that have the potential to impact future ac17 cess or operations on military training ranges; 

18 (6) maximize the use of the United States Pa19 cific Command training ranges, including Pohakuloa 

20 Training Center in Hawaii, by the military depart21 ments and increase the use of such training ranges 

22 for bilateral and multilateral exercises with regional 

23 allies and partners; and

4 MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND 

5 CLOSING THE WAGE GAP BETWEEN MILITARY 

6 SPOUSES AND THEIR CIVILIAN COUNTER7 PARTS. 

8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find9 ings: 

10 (1) Members of the Armed Forces and their 

11 families make enormous sacrifices in defense of the

19 portable career commensurate with their skills, in20 cluding education and experience. 

21 (4) According to a recent Department of De22 fense survey, the unemployment rate for civilians 

23 married to a military member is 25 percent, but the 

24 unemployment rate is 33 percent for spouses of jun25 ior enlisted members. The same survey revealed that

8 spouses obtain employment by creating the Military 

9 Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP), the Mili10 tary Spouse Career Center, and the Military Spouse 

11 Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA). More than 

12 61,000 military spouses have been hired as part of

14 (MSEP) since the MSEP launch in June 2011. 

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

18 work to reduce the unemployment and underemploy19 ment of spouses of members of the Armed Forces 

20 (in this section referred to as ‘‘military spouses’’) 

21 and support closing the wage gap between military 

22 spouses and their civilian counterparts; 

23 (2) in this process, the Secretary should 

24 prioritize efforts that assist military spouses in pur-
154 

•HR 4435 EH

1 suing portable careers that match their skill set, in2 cluding education and experience; and

4 SEC. 597. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE RECOV5 ERY OF THE REMAINS OF CERTAIN MEMBERS 

6 OF THE ARMED FORCES KILLED IN THUR7 STON ISLAND, ANTARCTICA. 

8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find9 ings: 

10 (1) Commencing August 26, 1946, though late 

11 February 1947 the United States Navy Antarctic 

12 Developments Program Task Force 68, codenamed 

13 ‘‘Operation Highjump’’ initiated and undertook the 

14 largest ever-to-this-date exploration of the Antarctic 

15 continent. 

16 (2) The primary mission of the Task Force 68 

17 organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr. 

18 USN, (Ret) and led by Rear Admiral Richard H. 

19 Cruzen, USN, was to do the following:

5 1st Class died several hours later. Six other crewmen 

6 survived including the Captain of the ‘‘George 1’s’’ 

7 seaplane tender U.S.S. Pine Island. 

8 (4) The bodies of the dead were protected from 

9 the desecration of Antarctic scavenging birds 

10 (Skuas) by the surviving crew wrapping the bodies 

11 and temporarily burying the men under the star12 board wing engine nacelle. 

13 (5) Rescue requirements of the ‘‘George 1’’ sur14 vivors forced the abandonment of their crewmates’ 

15 bodies. 

16 (6) Conditions prior to the departure of Task 

17 Force 68 precluded a return to the area to the re18 cover the bodies. 

19 (7) For nearly 60 years Navy promised the 

20 families that they would recover the men: ‘‘If the 

21 safety, logistical, and operational prerequisites allow 

22 a mission in the future, every effort will be made to 

23 bring our sailors home.’’.

5 overflight commissioned by Navy relocated the crash 

6 site three miles from its crash position. 

7 (10) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Com8 mand offered to underwrite the cost of an aerial 

9 ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey of the crash 

10 site area by NASA. 

11 (11) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Com12 mand studied the recovery with the recognized recov13 ery authorities and national scientists and deter14 mined that the recovery is only ‘‘medium risk’’. 

15 (12) National Science Foundation and sci16 entists from the University of Texas, Austin, regu17 larly visit the island. 

18 (13) The crash site is classified as a ‘‘perishable 

19 site’’, meaning a glacier that will calve into the 

20 Bellingshausen Sea. 

21 (14) The National Science Foundation main22 tains a presence in area of the Pine Island Glacier. 

23 (15) The National Science Foundation Director 

24 of Polar Operations will assist and provide assets for 

25 the recovery upon the request of Congress.

•HR 4435 EH

1 (16) The United States Coast Guard is pres2 ently pursuing the recovery of 3 WWII air crewmen 

3 from similar circumstances in Greenland. 

4 (17) On Memorial Day, May 25, 2009, Presi5 dent Barack Obama declared: ‘‘* * * the support of 

6 our veterans is a sacred trust * * * we need to serve 

7 them as they have served us * * * that means bring8 ing home all our POWs and MIAs * * *’’. 

9 (18) The policies and laws of the United States 

10 of America require that our armed service personnel 

11 be repatriated. 

12 (19) The fullest possible accounting of United 

13 States fallen military personnel means repatriating 

14 living American POWs and MIAs, accounting for, 

15 identifying, and recovering the remains of military 

16 personnel who were killed in the line of duty, or pro17 viding convincing evidence as to why such a repatri18 ation, accounting, identification, or recovery is not

22 burial and respect all members of the Armed Forces 

23 killed in the line of duty who lie in lost graves.

•HR 4435 EH

1 (1) reaffirms its support for the recovery and 

2 return to the United States, the remains and bodies

8 (2) recognizes the courage and sacrifice of all 

9 members of the Armed Forces who participated in 

10 Operation Highjump and all missions vital to the

18 SEC. 599. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PRESERVA19 TION OF SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF 

20 ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL STA21 TIONED OR RESIDING IN THE DISTRICT OF 

22 COLUMBIA. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
218 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (1) The Second Amendment to the United 

2 States Constitution provides that the right of the 

3 people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. 

4 (2) Approximately 40,000 servicemen and 

5 women across all branches of the Armed Forces ei6 ther live in or are stationed on active duty within the 

7 Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Unless these 

8 individuals are granted a waiver as serving in a law 

9 enforcement role, they are subject to the District of 

10 Columbia’s onerous and highly restrictive laws on 

11 the possession of firearms. 

12 (3) Military personnel, despite being extensively 

13 trained in the proper and safe use of firearms, are 

14 therefore deprived by the laws of the District of Co15 lumbia of handguns, rifles, and shotguns that are 

16 commonly kept by law-abiding persons throughout 

17 the United States for sporting use and for lawful de18 fense of their persons, homes, businesses, and fami19 lies. 

20 (4) The District of Columbia has one of the 

21 highest per capita murder rates in the Nation, which 

22 may be attributed in part to previous local laws pro23 hibiting possession of firearms by law-abiding per24 sons who would have otherwise been able to defend 
219 

•HR 4435 EH

1 themselves and their loved ones in their own homes 

2 and businesses. 

3 (5) The Gun Control Act of 1968 (as amended 

4 by the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act) and the 

5 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act provide 

6 comprehensive Federal regulations applicable in the 

7 District of Columbia as elsewhere. In addition, exist8 ing District of Columbia criminal laws punish pos9 session and illegal use of firearms by violent crimi10 nals and felons. Consequently, there is no need for 

11 local laws that only affect and disarm law-abiding 

12 citizens. 

13 (6) On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court of 

14 the United States in the case of District of Columbia 

15 v. Heller held that the Second Amendment protects 

16 an individual’s right to possess a firearm for tradi17 tionally lawful purposes, and thus ruled that the 

18 District of Columbia’s handgun ban and require19 ments that rifles and shotguns in the home be kept 

20 unloaded and disassembled or outfitted with a trig21 ger lock to be unconstitutional. 

22 (7) On July 16, 2008, the District of Columbia 

23 enacted the Firearms Control Emergency Amend24 ment Act of 2008 (D.C. Act 17–422; 55 DCR 

25 8237), which places onerous restrictions on the abil-
220 

•HR 4435 EH

1 ity of law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms, 

2 thus violating the spirit by which the Supreme Court 

3 of the United States ruled in District of Columbia 

4 v. Heller. 

5 (8) On February 26, 2009, the United States 

6 Senate adopted an amendment on a bipartisan vote 

7 of 62–36 by Senator John Ensign to S. 160, the 

8 District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 

9 2009, which would fully restore Second Amendment 

10 rights to the citizens of the District of Columbia. 

11 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con12 gress that active duty military personnel who are stationed 

13 or residing in the District of Columbia should be permitted 

14 to exercise fully their rights under the Second Amendment 

15 to the Constitution of the United States and therefore 

16 should be exempt from the District of Columbia’s restric17 tions on the possession of firearms.

401 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (1) The stability and security of Mexico and the 

2 nations of Central America have a direct impact on 

3 the stability and security of the United States. 

4 (2) Over the past decade, a ‘‘balloon effect’’ has 

5 pushed increased violence and instability into Cen6 tral America and Mexico from South America. 

7 (3) Drug cartels and transnational criminal or8 ganizations have spread throughout the region, caus9 ing instability and lack of rule of law in many na10 tions. 

11 (4) Illicit networks are used in a variety of ille12 gal activities including the movement of narcotics, 

13 humans, weapons, and money. 

14 (5) According to the United Nations Office on 

15 Drugs and Crime, Honduras has the highest murder 

16 rate in the world with 92 murders per 100,000 peo17 ple. 

18 (6) Currently, Mexico is working to reduce vio19 lence created by transnational criminal organizations 

20 and address issues spurred by the emergence of in21 ternal self defense groups. 

22 (7) United States Northern Command and 

23 United States Southern Command lead the efforts of 

24 the Department of Defense in combating illicit net25 working in Mexico and Central America. 
402 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (8) To combat these destabilizing threats, 

2 through a variety of authorities, the Department of 

3 Defense advises, trains, educates, and equips vetted 

4 troops in Mexico and many of the nations of Central 

5 America to build their militaries and police forces, 

6 with an emphasis on human rights and building 

7 partnership capacity. 

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con9 gress that— 

10 (1) the Department of Defense should continue 

11 to focus on combating illicit networking routes in 

12 Mexico and Central America; 

13 (2) United States Northern Command and 

14 United States Southern Command should continue 

15 to work together to combat the transnational nature 

16 of these threats; and 

17 (3) the Department of Defense should increase 

18 its maritime, aerial and intelligence, surveillance,

17 SEC. 1025. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE ANNI18 VERSARY OF THE SINKING OF U.S.S. THRESH19 ER. 

20 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find21 ings: 

22 (1) U.S.S. Thresher was first launched at 

23 Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on July 9, 1960. 

24 (2) U.S.S. Thresher departed Portsmouth 

25 Naval Shipyard for her final voyage on April 9, 
408 

•HR 4435 EH

1 1963, with a crew of 16 officers, 96 sailors, and 17 

2 civilians. 

3 (3) The mix of that crew reflects the unity of 

4 the naval submarine service, military and civilian, in 

5 the protection of the United States. 

6 (4) At approximately 7:47 a.m. on April 10, 

7 1963, while in communication with the surface ship 

8 U.S.S. Skylark, and approximately 220 miles off the 

9 coast of New England, U.S.S. Thresher began her 

10 final descent. 

11 (5) U.S.S. Thresher was declared lost with all 

12 hands on April 10, 1963. 

13 (6) In response to the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, 

14 the United States Navy instituted new regulations to 

15 ensure the health of the submariners and the safety 

16 of the submarines of the United States. 

17 (7) Those regulations led to the establishment 

18 of the Submarine Safety and Quality Assurance pro19 gram (SUBSAFE), now one of the most comprehen20 sive military safety programs in the world. 

21 (8) SUBSAFE has kept the submariners of the 

22 United States safe at sea ever since as the strongest, 

23 safest submarine force in history. 

24 (9) Since the establishment of SUBSAFE, no 

25 SUBSAFE-certified submarine has been lost at sea, 
409 

•HR 4435 EH

1 which is a legacy owed to the brave individuals who 

2 perished aboard U.S.S. Thresher. 

3 (10) From the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, there 

4 arose in the institutions of higher education in the 

5 United States the ocean engineering curricula that 

6 enables the preeminence of the United States in sub7 marine warfare. 

8 (11) The crew of U.S.S. Thresher demonstrated 

9 the ‘‘last full measure of devotion’’ in service to the 

10 United States, and this devotion characterizes the 

11 sacrifices of all submariners, past and present. 

12 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 

13 (1) recognizes the 51st anniversary of the sink14 ing of U.S.S. Thresher; 

15 (2) remembers with profound sorrow the loss of 

16 U.S.S. Thresher and her gallant crew of sailors and 

17 civilians on April 10, 1963; and 

18 (3) expresses its deepest gratitude to all subma19 riners on ‘‘eternal patrol’’, who are forever bound to20 gether by dedicated and honorable service to the 

21 United States of America.

•HR 4435 EH

1 (1) The Vietnam Veterans Memorial continues 

2 to be a popular and important place of reflection 

3 and healing for a generation. 

4 (2) The simple inscriptions of the names of the 

5 Nation’s dead bear mute testimony to the sacrifice 

6 of more than 58,000 Americans, serving as a deep 

7 source of comfort and pride for the families of those 

8 who were lost. 

9 (3) 74 sailors were lost aboard the USS Frank 

10 E. Evans, which sank after colliding with the HMAS 

11 Melbourne on June 3, 1969, during a Southeast 

12 Asia Treaty Organization exercise just outside the 

13 designated combat zone. 

14 (4) The Frank Evans had been providing sup15 port fire for combat operations in Vietnam before 

16 the exercise that resulted in the accident and was 

17 scheduled to return after the exercise. 

18 (5) The families of the 74 men lost aboard the 

19 USS Frank E. Evans have been fighting for decades 

20 to have their loved ones added to the Memorial. 

21 (6) Exceptions have been granted to inscribe 

22 the names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for 

23 other servicemembers who were killed outside of the

25 President Ronald Reagan ordered that 68 Marines

20 ANNIVERSARY OF THE ALLIED AMPHIBIOUS 

21 LANDING ON D-DAY, JUNE 6, 1944, AT NOR22 MANDY, FRANCE. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find24 ings: 
515 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (1) June 6, 2014, marks the 70th anniversary 

2 of the Allied assault at Normandy, France, by Amer3 ican, British, and Canadian troops, which was 

4 known as Operation Overlord. 

5 (2) Before Operation Overlord, the German 

6 Army still occupied France and the Nazi government 

7 still had access to the raw materials and industrial 

8 capacity of Western Europe. 

9 (3) The naval assault phase on Normandy was 

10 code-named ‘‘Neptune’’, and the June 6th assault 

11 date is referred to as D-Day to denote the day on 

12 which the combat attack was initiated. 

13 (4) The D-Day landing was the largest single 

14 amphibious assault in history, consisting of approxi15 mately 31,000 members of the United States Armed 

16 Forces, 153,000 members of the Allied Expedi17 tionary Force, 5,000 naval vessels, and more than 

18 11,000 sorties by Allied aircraft. 

19 (5) Soldiers of 6 divisions (3 American, 2 Brit20 ish, and 1 Canadian) stormed ashore in 5 main 

21 landing areas on beaches in Normandy, which were 

22 code-named ‘‘Utah’’, ‘‘Omaha’’, ‘‘Gold’’, ‘‘Juno’’, 

23 and ‘‘Sword’’. 

24 (6) Of the approximately 10,000 Allied casual25 ties incurred on the first day of the landing, more 
516 

•HR 4435 EH

1 than 6,000 casualties were members of the United 

2 States Armed Forces. 

3 (7) The age of the remaining World War II vet4 erans and the gradual disappearance of any living 

5 memory of World War II and the Normandy land6 ings make it necessary to increase activities intended 

7 to pass on the history of these events, particularly 

8 to younger generations. 

9 (8) The young people of Normandy and the 

10 United States have displayed unprecedented commit11 ment to and involvement in celebrating the veterans 

12 of the Normandy landings and the freedom that they 

13 brought with them in 1944. 

14 (9) The significant material remains of the 

15 Normandy landing, such as shipwrecks and various 

16 items of military equipment found both on the Nor17 mandy beaches and at the bottom of the sea in 

18 French territorial waters, bear witness to the re19 markable material resources used by the Allied 

20 Armed Forces to execute the Normandy landings. 

21 (10) Five Normandy beaches and a number of 

22 sites on the Normandy coast, including Pointe du 

23 Hoc, were the scene of the Normandy landings, and 

24 constitute both now and for all time a unique piece 

25 of humanity’s world heritage, and a symbol of peace 
517 

•HR 4435 EH

1 and freedom, whose unspoilt nature, integrity, and 

2 authenticity must be protected at all costs. 

3 (11) The world owes a debt of gratitude to the 

4 members of the ‘‘greatest generation’’ who assumed 

5 the task of freeing the world from Nazi and Fascist 

6 regimes and restoring liberty to Europe. 

7 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 

8 (1) recognizes the 70th anniversary of the Al9 lied amphibious landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944, at 

10 Normandy, France, during World War II; 

11 (2) expresses gratitude and appreciation to the 

12 members of the United States Armed Forces who 

13 participated in the D-Day operations; 

14 (3) thanks the young people of Normandy and 

15 the United States for their involvement in recog16 nizing and celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the 

17 Normandy landings with the aim of making future 

18 generations aware of the acts of heroism and sac19 rifice performed by the Allied forces; 

20 (4) recognizes the efforts of the Government of 

21 France and the people of Normandy to preserve, for 

22 future generations, the unique world heritage rep23 resented by the Normandy beaches and the sunken 

24 material remains of the Normandy landing, by in25 scribing them on the United Nations Educational, 
518 

•HR 4435 EH

1 Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) 

2 World Heritage List; and 

3 (5) requests the President to issue a proclama4 tion calling on the people of the United States to ob5 serve the anniversary with appropriate ceremonies 

6 and programs to honor the sacrifices of their fellow 

7 countrymen to liberate Europe.

14 (2) The Air Force is seeking a replacement air15 craft for the T–1A which is experiencing obsoles16 cence issues and high costs. 

17 (3) An effective way to mitigate the T–1A’s 

18 cost, obsolescence, and complexity issues until a per19 manent replacement aircraft enters service, is to uti20 lize contractor-owned, contractor-operated modern 

21 aircraft in the very light jet category. 

22 (4) Conducting very light jet training via a con23 tractor-owned, contractor-operated contract vehicle 

24 could provide increased flexibility and reduce unnec25 essary ownership costs. 
521 

•HR 4435 EH

3 assess the operational feasibility, costs, potential savings,

19 groups like Al Qaeda, the Haqqani Network, and the 

20 Quetta Shura Taliban are not able to use Afghani21 stan as a safe haven from which to launch attacks; 

22 (2) the United States should have a residual

•HR 4435 EH

1 support force protection requirements in order to

11 (5) the train, advise, and assist mission, fol12 lowing the end of the NATO mission on December 

13 31, 2014, should be able to assist the ANSF in all 

14 parts of Afghanistan; 

15 (6) uncertainty with the signing of the Bilateral 

16 Security Agreement with Afghanistan is threatening 

17 the gains achieved by the United States and coali18 tion forces and the United States’ enduring vital na19 tional security interests in Afghanistan and the re20 gion; 

21 (7) the President should announce the United 

22 States residual presence for Operation Resolute Sup23 port to reassure the people of Afghanistan and to 

24 provide a tangible statement of support for the fu25 ture of Afghanistan;

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

9 (1) The people of Afghanistan have taken the 

10 lead in providing for the security of their country 

11 and the successful elections are a positive step in the 

12 self-determination of the future of Afghanistan. 

13 (2) However, no country can be successful in 

14 the long-term if a majority of its population is not 

15 included in the dialogue and decision-making of such 

16 country. 

17 (3) The women of Afghanistan have made his18 toric strides in the last several years and the elec19 tions prove that the women need and have a right 

20 to have a voice in the future of Afghanistan. 

21 (4) To that end, the women of Afghanistan are 

22 vital to the development of Afghanistan and the na23 tional security of Afghanistan; 

24 (5) Women are needed to serve Afghanistan in 

25 the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), not 
579 

•HR 4435 EH

1 just for the future standing of women in society, but 

2 for cultural reasons. 

3 (6) Therefore, it is important that Afghanistan 

4 move forward in increasing the number of women in 

5 the ANSF with the current facilities and capacity to 

6 meet the requirements Afghanistan has proposed to 

7 achieve. 

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con9 gress that— 

10 (1) the allocation of $25,000,000 for fiscal year 

11 2014 for the ANSF should be prioritized for the re12 cruitment, retention, and training of women in the 

13 ANSF; 

14 (2) current facilities to support women in the 

15 ANSF should be fully utilized before additional in16 frastructure is constructed; 

17 (3) the Government of Afghanistan should en18 sure that the fund provided prioritize efforts to in19 crease the number of women serving in the ANSF, 

20 as proposed in the Master Ministerial Development 

21 Plan for Afghan National Army (ANA) Gender Inte22 gration; 

23 (4) as part of such plan, the conversion of the 

24 13,000 women that were trained to support the elec-
580 

•HR 4435 EH

1 tions is an important step in increasing the number 

2 of women in the ANSF; 

3 (5) the United Nations Assistance Mission in 

4 Afghanistan’s report, ‘‘A Way to Go: An Update on 

5 Implementation of the Law on Elimination of Vio6 lence Against Women in Afghanistan’’, should be in7 tegrated into efforts to enable women to serve in the

10 AFRIDI. 

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

12 (1) The attacks of September 11, 2001, killed 

13 approximately 3,000 people, most of whom were 

14 Americans, but also included hundreds of individuals 

15 with foreign citizenships, nearly 350 New York Fire 

16 Department personnel, and about 50 law enforce17 ment officers. 

18 (2) Downed United Airlines flight 93 was re19 portedly intended, under the control of the al-Qaeda 

20 high-jackers, to crash into the White House or the 

21 Capitol in an attempt to kill the President of the 

22 United States or Members of the United States Con23 gress. 

24 (3) The September 11, 2001, attacks were 

25 largely planned and carried out by the al-Qaeda ter-
586 

•HR 4435 EH

1 rorist network led by Osama bin Laden and his dep2 uty Ayman al Zawahiri, after which Osama bin 

3 Laden enjoyed safe haven in Pakistan from where he 

4 continued to plot deadly attacks against the United 

5 States and the world. 

6 (4) The United States has obligated nearly $30 

7 billion between 2002 and 2014 in United States tax8 payer money for security and economic aid to Paki9 stan. 

10 (5) The United States very generously and 

11 swiftly responded to the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake 

12 in Pakistan with more than $200 million in emer13 gency aid and the support of several United States 

14 military aircraft, approximately 1,000 United States 

15 military personnel, including medical specialists, 

16 thousands of tents, blankets, water containers and a 

17 variety of other emergency equipment. 

18 (6) The United States again generously and 

19 swiftly contributed approximately $150 million in 

20 emergency aid to Pakistan following the 2010 Paki21 stan flood, in addition to the service of nearly twenty 

22 United States military helicopters, their flight crews, 

23 and other resources to assist the Pakistan Army’s 

24 relief efforts. 
587 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (7) The United States continues to work tire2 lessly to support Pakistan’s economic development, 

3 including millions of dollars allocated towards the 

4 development of Pakistan’s energy infrastructure, 

5 health services and education system. 

6 (8) The United States and Pakistan continue to 

7 have many critical shared interests, both economic 

8 and security related, which could be the foundation 

9 for a positive and mutually beneficial partnership. 

10 (9) Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician, is 

11 a hero to whom the people of the United States, 

12 Pakistan and the world owe a debt of gratitude for 

13 his help in finally locating Osama bin Laden before 

14 more innocent American, Pakistani and other lives 

15 were lost to this terrorist leader. 

16 (10) Pakistan, the United States and the inter17 national community had failed for nearly 10 years 

18 following attacks of September 11, 2001, to locate 

19 and bring Osama bin Laden, who continued to kill 

20 innocent civilians in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, 

21 Africa and the United States, to justice without the 

22 help of Dr. Afridi. 

23 (11) The Government of Pakistan’s imprison24 ment of Dr. Afridi presents a serious and growing 
588 

•HR 4435 EH

1 impediment to the United States’ bilateral relations 

2 with Pakistan. 

3 (12) The Government of Pakistan has leveled 

4 and allowed baseless charges against Dr. Afridi in a 

5 politically motivated, spurious legal process. 

6 (13) Dr. Afridi is currently imprisoned by the 

7 Government of Pakistan, a deplorable and uncon8 scionable situation which calls into question Paki9 stan’s actual commitment to countering terrorism 

10 and undermines the notion that Pakistan is a true 

11 ally in the struggle against terrorism. 

12 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con13 gress that Dr. Shakil Afridi is an international hero and 

14 that the Government of Pakistan should release him im15 mediately from prison.

11 States, its deployed forces, and its allies. 

12 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con13 gress that— 

14 (1) the President should hold the Russian Fed15 eration accountable for being in material breach of 

16 its obligations under the INF Treaty; 

17 (2) the President should demand the Russian 

18 Federation completely and verifiably eliminate the 

19 military systems that constitute the material breach 

20 of its obligations under the INF Treaty; 

21 (3) the President should seriously consider not 

22 engaging in further reductions of United States nu23 clear forces generally and should seriously consider 

24 not engaging in nuclear arms reduction negotiations

599 

•HR 4435 EH

1 complete and verifiable elimination of the military 

2 systems has occurred; and 

3 (4) the President, in consultation with United

9 enactment of this Act.

23 remains in the national security interests of the 

24 United States to remain a party to the INF Treaty,

15 It is the sense of the Congress that— 

16 (1) the continuing and long-standing pattern 

17 and practice by the Government of the Russian Fed18 eration of physical, diplomatic, and economic aggres19 sion toward neighboring countries is clearly intended 

20 to exert undue influence on the free will of sovereign 

21 nations and peoples to determine their own future; 

22 (2) the Russian military build-up and aggres23 sive posture on the eastern border of Ukraine rep24 resent a deliberate intent to intimidate Ukraine and 

25 to force its citizens to submit to Russian control; 
601 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (3) the Russian Federation should immediately 

2 cease all improper and illegal activities in Ukraine; 

3 (4) the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Secu4 rity Assurances, which was executed jointly with the 

5 Russian Federation, Ukraine, and the United King6 dom, represents a commitment to respect the inde7 pendence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity and 

8 borders of Ukraine, and Russian actions clearly vio9 late the commitment made by the Russian Federa10 tion in that memorandum; 

11 (5) the security cooperation with the Ukrainian 

12 military by the United States military is an impor13 tant opportunity to support the continued 

14 professionalization of the Ukrainian military; 

15 (6) an enhanced military presence and readi16 ness posture of the United States military in Europe 

17 is key to deterring further Russian aggression and 

18 assuring allies and partners; and 

19 (7) the treaty commitments under Article 5 of 

20 the North Atlantic Treaty signed at Washington, 

21 April 4, 1949, and entered into force August 24, 

22 1949, are important and a cornerstone to inter23 national security.

5 AWARENESS OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL 

6 ACTIVITY. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find8 ings: 

9 (1) There is a lack of situational awareness 

10 within the Department of Defense concerning how 

11 state and non-state adversaries and potential adver12 saries are interwoven into the international financial 

13 and trading systems via legal and licit activities and 

14 use such market activities to fund and equip them15 selves and advance their interests. 

16 (2) There is a lack of capability within the De17 partment of Defense to formulate policy options 

18 within the interagency process, or for consideration 

19 within the Department, concerning whether state 

20 and non-state adversaries and potential adversaries 

21 have key vulnerabilities associated with their posi22 tioning within the global economic and financial sys23 tems. 

24 (3) The Department of Defense would benefit 

25 from having enhanced situational awareness regard-
656 

•HR 4435 EH

1 ing the commercial and strategic interactions of 

2 state and non-state adversaries and potential adver3 saries within the global economic and financial sys4 tems and integrating relevant findings into defense 

5 policy options, deterrence strategy, planning and 

6 preparedness. 

7 (4) The state-owned enterprises and sovereign 

8 wealth funds of adversaries and potential adversaries 

9 represent, in some cases, strategic tools of their con10 trolling governments and their global operations and 

11 therefore warrant increased scrutiny and knowledge. 

12 (5) Without improved situational awareness of 

13 the business transactions and financial activities of 

14 state and non-state adversaries and potential adver15 saries, as well as entities they own and control, cur16 rent efforts and deterrence strategies will continue 

17 to represent an underdeveloped defense requirement 

18 that lacks strategic direction. 

19 (b) ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS RE20 QUIRED.—The Secretary of Defense shall take such steps 

21 as may be necessary to improve— 

22 (1) the situational awareness capabilities of the 

23 Department of Defense regarding the legal and licit 

24 business transactions and global market positioning 

25 of adversaries and potential adversaries; and 
657

21 North Atlantic Treaty Organization if such integra22 tion undermines the security of the United States or

3 FOR THE ATTACK AGAINST UNITED STATES 

4 PERSONNEL IN BENGHAZI, LIBYA, AND 

5 OTHER REGIONAL THREATS. 

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

7 (1) On September 11, 2012, United States fa8 cilities in Benghazi, Libya were attacked by an orga9 nized group of armed terrorists, killing United 

10 States Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen 

11 Doherty, and Tyrone Woods. 

12 (2) On September 14, 2012, President Obama 

13 stated that: ‘‘We will bring to justice those who took 

14 them from us * * * making it clear that justice will 

15 come to those who harm Americans.’’. 

16 (3) On May 1, 2014, White House spokesman 

17 Jay Carney stated that: ‘‘I can assure you that the 

18 President’s direction is that those who killed four 

19 Americans will be pursued by the United States 

20 until they are brought to justice. And if anyone 

21 doubts that, they should ask * * * friends and fam22 ily members of Osama bin Laden.’’. 

23 (4) In testimony before Congress in October 

24 2013, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 

25 General Martin Dempsey, asserted that the Presi-
661 

•HR 4435 EH

1 dent lacks the authority to use military force to find 

2 and kill the Benghazi attackers. 

3 (5) Since the Benghazi attacks, the President 

4 has not requested authority from Congress to use 

5 military force against the Benghazi attackers. 

6 (6) No terrorist responsible for the Benghazi 

7 attacks has been brought to justice. 

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

9 Congress that— 

10 (1) the persons and organizations who carried 

11 out the attacks on United States personnel in 

12 Benghazi, Libya on September 11 and 12, 2012, 

13 pose a continuing threat to the national security of 

14 the United States; 

15 (2) the failure to hold any individual respon16 sible for these terrorist attacks is a travesty of jus17 tice, and undermines the national security of the 

18 United States; and 

19 (3) the uncertainty surrounding the authority 

20 of the President to use force against the terrorists 

21 responsible for the attack against United States per22 sonnel in Benghazi, Libya, undermines the President 

23 as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the 

24 United States.

18 SEC. 1252. WAR POWERS OF CONGRESS. 

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

20 (1) In 1793, George Washington said, ‘‘The 

21 constitution vests the power of declaring war in Con22 gress; therefore no offensive expedition of impor23 tance can be undertaken until after they shall have 

24 deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a 

25 measure.’’. 
665 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (2) In a letter to Thomas Jefferson in 1798, 

2 James Madison wrote: ‘‘The constitution supposes, 

3 what the History of all Governments demonstrates, 

4 that the Executive is the branch of power most in5 terested in war, and most prone to it. It has accord6 ingly with studied care vested the question of war to 

7 the Legislature.’’. 

8 (3) In 1973, Congress passed the War Powers 

9 Resolution which states in section 2: ‘‘The constitu10 tional powers of the President as Commander-in11 Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into 

12 hostilities, or into situations where imminent involve13 ment in hostilities is clearly indicated by the cir14 cumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a 

15 declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authoriza16 tion, or (3) national emergency created by attack 

17 upon the United States, its territories or posses18 sions, or its armed forces.’’. 

19 (4) With respect to United States military 

20 intervention in Syria, President Obama said, ‘‘But 

21 having made my decision as Commander-in-Chief 

22 based on what I am convinced is our national secu23 rity interests, I’m also mindful that I’m the Presi24 dent of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy. 

25 I’ve long believed that our power is rooted not just 
666 

•HR 4435 EH

1 in our military might, but in our example as a gov2 ernment of the people, by the people, and for the 

3 people. And that’s why I’ve made a second decision: 

4 I will seek authorization for the use of force from 

5 the American people’s representatives in Congress.’’. 

6 (b) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this Act 

7 shall be construed to authorize any use of military force.

15 projects, or activities as approved by Congress in further16 ance of, pursuant to, or otherwise to implement the Arms 

17 Trade Treaty, unless the Arms Trade Treaty has received 

18 the advice and consent of the Senate and has been the 

19 subject of implementing legislation, as required, by the 

20 Congress. 

21 (b) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this sec22 tion shall be construed to preclude the Department of De23 fense from assisting foreign countries in bringing their 

24 laws and regulations up to United States standards.

676 

•HR 4435 EH

7 Arabian Gulf region that are used to deter Iran and 

8 would be used for any military operations in the 

9 Arabian Gulf region are entirely financed by funds 

10 for overseas contingency operations which is an

15 (5) the United States does not have status of 

16 forces agreements and defense agreements with key 

17 GCC allies, which would support the defense of the

1 (7) a comprehensive agreement with Iran relat2 ing to Iran’s efforts to develop a nuclear weapons

10 DEFENSE CAPABILITIES OF POLAND. 

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

12 (1) The efforts of Poland to modernize its de13 fense capabilities and restructure its armed forces 

14 have the potential not only to enhance the national 

15 security of Poland but also to strengthen the North 

16 Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). 

17 (2) The main priority of Poland with respect to 

18 such efforts is to procure anti-aircraft and missile 

19 defense systems. 

20 (3) At a time when most NATO allies are cut21 ting defense spending, Poland has maintained a 

22 steady defense budget and is making significant in23 vestment in procurement of new defense systems. 

24 (4) The United States should recognize the ef25 forts of Poland to modernize its defense capabilities 
679 

•HR 4435 EH

1 and restructure its armed forces and promote such 

2 efforts as a positive example for other NATO allies 

3 to follow. 

4 (5) The United States has enjoyed a close cul5 tural, economic, political, and military relationship 

6 with Poland for many years and the efforts of Po7 land to modernize its defense capabilities and re8 structure its armed forces provide opportunities for 

9 the two countries to work together even more close10 ly. 

11 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con12 gress that— 

13 (1) the President should seek to work with Po14 land to ensure that, as part of the efforts of Poland 

15 to modernize its defense capabilities and restructure 

16 its armed forces— 

17 (A) Poland, to the maximum extent prac18 ticable, procures defense systems that are inter19 operable with NATO defense systems and will 

20 help fill critical NATO shortfalls; and 

21 (B) Poland, to the maximum extent prac22 ticable and to the extent not inconsistent with 

23 the provisions of subparagraph (A), procures 

24 United States defense systems that— 
680 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (i) will strengthen the bilateral, stra2 tegic partnership between the two coun3 tries; 

4 (ii) will provide Poland with proven

22 each of which has the capacity to carry 16 heli23 copters, up to 700 soldiers, four landing craft, 60 

24 armored vehicles, and 13 tanks, would significantly 

25 increase the naval capabilities of the Russian navy; 
683 

•HR 4435 EH

8 noted there is value in the assured access, protec9 tion, and delivery of energy. 

10 (4) Development of energy resources and tran11 sit routes in the areas surrounding the Caspian Sea 

12 can diversify sources of supply for members of the 

13 NATO alliance, particularly those in Eastern Eu14 rope.

1 SEC. 1269. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS. 

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

3 (1) Protecting cultural property abroad is a 

4 vital part of United States cultural diplomacy, show5 ing the respect of the United States for other cul6 tures and the common heritage of humanity. 

7 (2) Cultural property abroad has been lost, 

8 damaged, or destroyed due to political instability, 

9 armed conflict, natural disasters, and other threats. 

10 (3) In Egypt, political instability has led to the 

11 ransacking of its museums, resulting in the destruc12 tion of countless ancient artifacts that will forever 

13 leave gaps in humanity’s knowledge of the ancient 

14 Egyptian civilization. 

15 (4) In Syria, the ongoing civil war has resulted 

16 in the shelling of medieval cities, damage to World 

17 Heritage Sites, and the looting of museums and ar18 chaeological sites. Archaeological and historic sites 

19 and artifacts in Syria date back more than six mil20 lennia, and include some of the earliest examples of 

21 writing. 

22 (5) In Mali, the Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist 

23 group Ansar Dine destroyed tombs and shrines in 

24 the ancient city of Timbuktu, once a major center 

25 for Islamic learning and scholarship in the 15th and 
687

1 16th centuries, and threatened collections of ancient 

2 manuscripts. 

3 (6) In Afghanistan, the Taliban decreed that 

4 the Bamiyan Buddhas, ancient statues carved into a 

5 cliff side in central Afghanistan, were to be de6 stroyed. In 2001 the Taliban carried out their threat 

7 and destroyed the statues, leading to worldwide con8 demnation. 

9 (7) In Iraq, after the fall of Saddam Hussein, 

10 thieves looted the Iraq Museum in Bagdad, resulting 

11 in the loss of approximately 15,000 items. These in12 cluded ancient amulets, sculptures, ivories, and cyl13 inder seals. Many of these items remain unrecovered. 

14 (8) The destruction of these and other cultural 

15 properties represents an irreparable loss to human16 ity’s common cultural heritage, and therefore to all 

17 Americans. 

18 (9) The Armed Forces have played important 

19 roles in preserving and protecting cultural property. 

20 On June 23, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt 

21 established the American Commission for the Pro22 tection and Salvage of Artistic and Historic Monu23 ments in War Areas to provide expert advice to the 

24 military on the protection of cultural property. The 

25 Commission formed Monuments, Fine Arts, and Ar-

4 MFAA were known as the ‘‘Monuments Men’’ and 

5 have been credited with securing, cataloguing, and 

6 returning hundreds of thousands works of art stolen 

7 by the Nazis during World War II. 

8 (10) The United States Committee of the Blue 

9 Shield was founded in 2006 to support the imple10 mentation of the 1954 Hague Convention for the 

11 Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of 

12 Armed Conflict, and to coordinate with the Armed 

13 Forces, other branches of the United States Govern14 ment, and other cultural heritage nongovernmental 

15 organizations in preserving cultural property abroad 

16 threatened by political instability, armed conflict, or 

17 natural or other disasters. 

18 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con19 gress that— 

20 (1) the Armed Forces play an important role in 

21 preserving and protecting cultural property in coun22 tries at risk of destruction due to political insta23 bility, armed conflict, or natural or other disasters; 

24 and 
689 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (2) the United States must protect cultural 

2 property abroad pursuant to its obligations under 

3 the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of 

4 Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict 

5 and customary international law in all conflicts to 

6 which the United States is a party. 

7 (c) REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF

8 DEFENSE IN REGARDS TO PROTECTING CULTURAL PROP9 ERTY ABROAD.—The Secretary of Defense shall submit 

10 to the congressional defense committees and the Com11 mittee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Com12 mittee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives 

13 a report on efforts of the Department of Defense to pro14 tect cultural property abroad, including activities under15 taken pursuant to the 1954 Hague Convention for the 

16 Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed 

17 Conflict, other cultural protection statutes, and inter18 national agreements, including— 

19 (1) directives, policies, and regulations the De20 partment has instituted to protect cultural property 

21 abroad at risk of destruction due to political insta22 bility, armed conflict, or natural or other disasters; 

23 (2) actions the Armed Forces have taken to 

24 protect cultural property abroad, including efforts 

25 made to avoid damage, to the extent possible, to cul-

1 tural property through construction activities, train2 ing to ensure deploying military personnel are able 

3 to identify, avoid, and protect cultural property 

4 abroad, and other efforts made to inform military 

5 personnel about the protection of cultural property 

6 as part of the law of war; and 

7 (3) the status and number of specialist per8 sonnel in the Armed Forces assigned to secure re9 spect for cultural property abroad and to cooperate 

10 with civilian authorities responsible for safeguarding 

11 cultural property abroad, as required by existing 

12 treaty obligations under Article 7 of the 1954 Hague

14 SEC. 1270. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NIGERIA AND BOKO 

15 HARAM. 

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

18 (1) In recent years, Boko Haram has furthered 

19 violence and instability in Nigeria and bordering 

20 countries. 

21 (2) The terrorist group known as ‘‘Boko 

22 Haram,’’ which translates to ‘‘Western education is 

23 forbidden,’’ perpetrates violent attacks in Nigeria 

24 and has grown in strength and sophistication since 

25 its founding in 2002. 
691 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (3) Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 female 

2 students on April 14, 2014, killed over 50 male stu3 dents on February 25, 2014, and continues to vio4 lently attack innocent civilians throughout Nigeria. 

5 (4) Boko Haram has previously attacked West6 ern interests, bombing the United Nations building 

7 in Abuja on August 26, 2011, and was affiliated 

8 with taking Western hostages in Bauchi on Feb9 ruary 16, 2013, and later killing seven hostages. 

10 (5) As stated by United States Ambassador to 

11 Nigeria Terrence P. McCulley in 2012, the threat of 

12 Boko Haram is growing: ‘‘We‘ve seen an increase in 

13 sophistication, we’ve seen increased lethality. We 

14 saw at least a part of the group has decided it’s in 

15 their interest to attack the international commu16 nity.’’. 

17 (6) In June 2012, the Department of State 

18 added three leaders of Boko Haram, Abubakar 

19 Shekau, Abubakar Adam Kambar, and Khalid al20 Barnawi, to the Specially Designated Global Ter21 rorist list. 

22 (7) In November 2013, the Department of 

23 State designated Boko Haram and its splinter 

24 group, Ansaru, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. 
692 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (8) Boko Haram shares the ideological designs 

2 of al Qaeda, and has made public pledges of support 

3 to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and al-Shabaab. 

4 (9) Boko Haram poses a broader threat to in5 terests in Nigeria, the Sahel, Europe, and the 

6 United States. 

7 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of the findings 

8 specified in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that 

9 the Secretary of Defense should— 

10 (1) take appropriate action with allies and part11 ners of the United States to fight Boko Haram’s vi12 olence and ideology; 

13 (2) partner with Nigeria’s regional neighbors to 

14 counter Boko Haram’s cross-border activity and re15 spond to emerging threats; and 

16 (3) develop a long-term, interagency strategy to 

17 combat Boko Haram and Ansaru, reassess United 

18 States assistance to Nigeria, and brief Congress on 

19 this strategy. 

20 SEC. 1271. RECOGNITION OF VICTIMS OF SOVIET COM21 MUNIST AND NAZI REGIMES. 

22 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find23 ings: 

24 (1) On August 13, 1941, President Franklin D. 

25 Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill 
693 

•HR 4435 EH

1 issued a joint declaration ‘‘of certain common prin2 ciples in the national policies of their respective 

3 countries on which they based their hopes for a bet4 ter future for the world’’ and ‘‘the right of all peo5 ples to choose the form of government under which 

6 they will live and self government restored to those 

7 who have been forcibly deprived of them’’ and that 

8 the people of countries may live in freedom. 

9 (2) The United States Government has actively 

10 advocated for and continues to support the prin11 ciples of the United Nations Universal Declaration 

12 of Human Rights and the United Nations General 

13 Assembly resolution 260 (III) of December 9, 1948. 

14 (3) Captive Nations Week, signed into law by 

15 President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1959, raised 

16 public awareness of the oppression of nations under 

17 the control of Communist and other nondemocratic 

18 governments. 

19 (4) The European Parliament resolution on Eu20 ropean conscience and totalitarianism of April 2, 

21 2009, and the ‘‘Black Ribbon Day’’ resolution 

22 adopted by the Parliament of Canada on November 

23 30, 2009, establish a day of remembrance for vic24 tims of Communist and Nazi regimes to remember 

25 and commemorate their victims. 
694 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (5) On the 70th anniversary of the formal 

2 adoption by the Nazi leadership of the ‘‘Final Solu3 tion of the Jewish Problem’’, members of the Euro4 pean Parliament and the national parliaments of the 

5 European Union rejected attempts to obfuscate the 

6 Holocaust by persons who sought to diminish the 

7 uniqueness of the Holocaust by deeming the Holo8 caust to be equal, similar, or equivalent to Com9 munism. 

10 (6) Extreme forms of totalitarian rule have led 

11 to premeditated and vast crimes committed against 

12 millions of human beings and their basic and in13 alienable rights on a scale unseen before in history. 

14 (7) The Nazi regime committed mass genocide 

15 during the Holocaust, killing millions of Jews, polit16 ical opponents, and minority populations. 

17 (8) August 23 would be an appropriate date to 

18 designate as ‘‘Black Ribbon Day’’ to remember and 

19 never forget the terror millions of citizens in Central 

20 and Eastern Europe experienced for more than 40 

21 years by ruthless military, economic, and political re22 pression of the people through arbitrary executions, 

23 mass arrests, deportations, the suppression of free 

24 speech, confiscation of private property, and the de25 struction of cultural and moral identity and civil so-
695 

•HR 4435 EH

1 ciety, all of which deprived the vast majority of the 

2 peoples of Central and Eastern Europe of their basic 

3 human rights and dignity, separating them from the 

4 democratic world by means of the Iron Curtain and 

5 the Berlin Wall. 

6 (9) The memories of Europe’s tragic past can7 not be forgotten in order to honor the victims, con8 demn the perpetrators, and lay the foundation for 

9 reconciliation based on truth and remembrance. 

10 (b) RECOGNITION.—Congress supports the designa11 tion of ‘‘Black Ribbon Day’’ to recognize the victims of 

12 Soviet Communist and Nazi regimes. 

13 SEC. 1272. REPORT RELATING TO RESCUE EFFORTS IN NI14 GERIAN KIDNAPPING.

1 SEC. 1636. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE 

2 NUCLEAR TRIAD. 

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

4 (1) The April 2010 Nuclear Posture Review 

5 stated— 

6 (A) ‘‘After considering a wide range of 

7 possible options for the U.S. strategic nuclear 

8 posture, including some that involved elimi9 nating a leg of the Triad, the NPR concluded 

10 that for planned reductions under New START, 

11 the United States should retain a smaller Triad 

12 of SLBMs [submarine launched ballistic mis13 siles], ICBMs [intercontinental ballistic mis14 siles], and heavy bombers. Retaining all three 

15 Triad legs will best maintain strategic stability 

16 at reasonable cost, while hedging against poten17 tial technical problems or vulnerabilities.’’; 

18 (B) ‘‘ICBMs provide significant advan19 tages to the U.S. nuclear force posture, includ20 ing extremely secure command and control, 

21 high readiness rates, and relatively low oper22 ating costs.’’; 

23 (C) ‘‘a survivable U.S. response force re24 quires continuous at-sea deployments of SSBNs 

25 [ballistic missile submarines] in both the Atlan-
755 

•HR 4435 EH

1 tic and Pacific oceans, as well as the ability to 

2 surge additional submarines in crisis.’’; and 

3 (D) nuclear-capable bombers— 

4 (i) ‘‘[provide] a rapid and effective 

5 hedge against technical challenges with an6 other leg of the Triad, as well as geo7 political uncertainties’’; and 

8 (ii) ‘‘are important to extended deter9 rence of potential attacks on U.S. allies 

10 and partners.’’. 

11 (2) In a letter to the Senate on February 2, 

12 2011, regarding the New START Treaty, President 

13 Obama stated that ‘‘I intend to modernize or replace 

14 the triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems: a 

15 heavy bomber and air- launched cruise missile, an 

16 ICBM, and a nuclear-powered ballistic missile sub17 marine (SSBN) and SLBM.’’. 

18 (3) In the Resolution Of Advice And Consent 

19 To Ratification of the New START Treaty, the Sen20 ate stated that ‘‘it is the sense of the Senate that 

21 United States deterrence and flexibility is assured by 

22 a robust triad of strategic delivery vehicles. To this 

23 end, the United States is committed to accom24 plishing the modernization and replacement of its 

25 strategic nuclear delivery vehicles, and to ensuring 
756 

•HR 4435 EH

1 the continued flexibility of United States conven2 tional and nuclear delivery systems.’’. 

3 (4) On June 19, 2013, the Secretary of De4 fense, Chuck Hagel, stated, ‘‘First, the U.S. will 

5 maintain a ready and credible deterrent. Second, we 

6 will retain a triad of bombers, ICBMs, and ballistic 

7 missile submarines. Third, we will make sure that 

8 our nuclear weapons remain safe, secure, ready and 

9 effective.’’. 

10 (5) Section 1062 of the National Defense Au11 thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 

12 113–66; 10 U.S.C. 495 note) states that— 

13 (A) ‘‘It is the policy of the United States 

14 to modernize or replace the triad of strategic 

15 nuclear delivery systems’’; and 

16 (B) ‘‘Congress supports the modernization 

17 or replacement of the triad of strategic nuclear 

18 delivery systems consisting of a heavy bomber 

19 and air-launched cruise missile, an interconti20 nental ballistic missile, and a ballistic missile 

21 submarine and submarine launched ballistic 

22 missile’’. 

23 (6) On March 6, 2014, the Chairman of the 

24 Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, tes25 tified to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
757 

•HR 4435 EH

1 House of Representatives that the Joint Chiefs of 

2 Staff have determined that ‘‘our recommendation is 

3 to remain firmly committed to the triad, the three 

4 legs of the nuclear capability, and that any further 

5 reduction should be done only through negotiations, 

6 not unilaterally, and that we should commit to mod7 ernizing the stockpile while we have it.’’. 

8 (7) On April 2, 2014, the Commander of 

9 United States Strategic Command, Admiral Cecil 

10 Haney, testified to the Committee on Armed Serv11 ices of the House of Representatives that ‘‘First and 

12 foremost, I think it is important that we as a coun13 try realize just how important and foundational our 

14 strategic deterrent is today for us and well into the 

15 future. As you have mentioned, there is a need for 

16 modernization in a variety of areas. When you look 

17 at the credible strategic deterrent we have today, 

18 that includes everything from the indications and 

19 warning, to the command and control and commu20 nication structure that goes all the way from the 

21 President down to the units, and to what frequently 

22 we talk about as the triad involving the interconti23 nental ballistic missiles, the submarines, and the 

24 bombers—each providing its unique aspect of deter25 rence.’’. 
758 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (8) In the June 2013 Report on Nuclear Em2 ployment Strategy of the United States required by 

3 section 491 of title 10, United States Code, the Sec4 retary of Defense, on behalf of the President, stated 

5 that ‘‘the United States will maintain a nuclear 

6 Triad, consisting of ICBMs, SLBMs, and nuclear7 capable heavy bombers. Retaining all three Triad 

8 legs will best maintain strategic stability at reason9 able cost, while hedging against potential technical 

10 problems or vulnerabilities. These forces should be 

11 operated on a day-to-day basis in a manner that 

12 maintains strategic stability with Russia and China, 

13 deters potential regional adversaries, and assures 

14 U.S. Allies and partners.’’. 

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

16 United States— 

17 (1) to operate, sustain, and modernize or re18 place the triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems 

19 consisting of— 

20 (A) heavy bombers equipped with nuclear 

21 gravity bombs and air-launched nuclear cruise 

22 missiles; 

23 (B) land-based intercontinental ballistic 

24 missiles equipped with nuclear warheads that 
759 

•HR 4435 EH

1 are capable of carrying multiple independently 

2 targetable reentry vehicles; and 

3 (C) ballistic missile submarines equipped 

4 with submarine launched ballistic missiles and 

5 multiple nuclear warheads. 

6 (2) to operate, sustain, and modernize or re7 place a capability to forward-deploy nuclear weapons 

8 and dual-capable fighter-bomber aircraft; 

9 (3) to deter potential adversaries and assure al10 lies and partners of the United States through 

11 strong and long-term commitment to the nuclear de12 terrent of the United States and the personnel, sys13 tems, and infrastructure that comprise such deter14 rent; and 

15 (4) to ensure the members of the Armed Forces 

16 that operate the nuclear deterrent of the United 

17 States have the training, resources, and national 

18 support required to execute the critical national se19 curity mission of the members.

20 the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty Be21 tween the United States of America and the Union 

22 of Soviet Socialist Republics’’ provided to the Com23 mittee on Armed Services of the House of Rep24 resentatives in September 2013 by the Chairman of 

25 the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, ‘‘[i]n the absence of 
770 

•HR 4435 EH

1 the INF Treaty, four types of weapons systems 

2 could assist in closing the existing JROC-validated 

3 capability gap: (1) Modifications to existing short 

4 range or tactical weapon systems to extend range; 

5 (2) Forward-based, ground-launched cruise missiles 

6 (GLCMs); (3) Forward-based, ground-launched in7 termediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs); and (4) 

8 Forward-based, ground-launched intermediate-range 

9 missiles with trajectory shaping vehicles (TSVs).’’. 

10 (5) The report further stated that, ‘‘[b]ecause 

11 of INF restrictions, examination of prohibited con12 cepts has not been performed by industry or the 

13 Services. Trade studies regarding capability, afford14 ability, and development timelines would have to be 

15 completed prior to providing an accurate estimate of 

16 cost, technology risk, and timeline advantages that 

17 could be achieved with respect to these concepts. Ex18 tensive knowledge could be leveraged from past and 

19 current land- and sea-based systems to assist in po20 tential development and deployment of these cur21 rently prohibited concepts.’’. 

22 (6) President Obama stated in Prague in April 

23 2009 that ‘‘Rules must be binding. Violations must 

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

5 (8) The July 2010 Verifiability Assessment re6 leased by the Department of State on the New 

7 START Treaty, and as quoted in a hearing of the 

8 Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, stated: 

9 ‘‘[t]he costs and risks of Russian cheating or break10 out, on the other hand, would likely be very signifi11 cant’’ and that the Russian Federation would be un12 likely to cheat because of the ‘‘financial and inter13 national political costs of such an action.’’. 

14 (b) PLAN FOR TESTING OF AEGIS ASHORE.— 

15 (1) IN GENERAL.—The Director of the Missile 

16 Defense Agency shall develop a plan to test, by not 

17 later than December 31, 2015, the capability of the

14 SEC. 3114. PLUTONIUM PIT PRODUCTION CAPACITY. 

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

16 (1) In 2008, the Department of Defense and 

17 the Department of Energy, acting through the Nu18 clear Weapons Council established by section 179 of 

19 title 10, United States Code, agreed on a strategy 

20 to balance cost, risk, and stockpile needs and estab21 lished the requirement for the Department of En22 ergy to produce 50 to 80 plutonium pits per year. 

23 (2) In a memorandum of agreement dated May 

24 3, 2010, entered into by the Secretary of Defense 

25 and the Secretary of Energy, the Secretaries agreed 
905 

•HR 4435 EH

1 that the Department of Energy would achieve a min2 imum pit production capacity of 50 to 80 pits per 

3 year by 2022. 

4 (3) The current plans of the Secretary of En5 ergy would achieve a pit production capacity of 50 

6 to 80 pits per year by 2031, resulting in a delay of 

7 nearly a decade as compared to the agreement de8 scribed in paragraph (2). 

9 (4) In a report dated January 14, 2014, that 

10 the Secretary of Defense submitted to Congress, the 

11 Secretary stated that ‘‘the Department of Defense 

12 has revalidated its requirement for 50 – 80 pits per 

13 year based on the demands of stockpile moderniza14 tion, the commitments to a modern physical infra15 structure, and the ability to hedge against technical 

16 failure or geopolitical risk.’’. 

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con18 gress that— 

19 (1) the requirement to create a modern, respon20 sive nuclear infrastructure that includes the capa21 bility and capacity to produce, at minimum, 50 to 

22 80 pits per year, is a national security priority; 

23 (2) delaying creation of a modern, responsive 

24 nuclear infrastructure until the 2030s is an unac-
906 

•HR 4435 EH

1 ceptable risk to the nuclear deterrent and the na2 tional security of the United States; and 

3 (3) timelines for creating certain capacities for 

4 production of plutonium pits and other nuclear 

5 weapons components must be driven by the require6 ment to hedge against technical and geopolitical risk 

7 and not solely by the needs of life extension pro8 grams. 

9 (c) PIT PRODUCTION.— 

10 (1) IN GENERAL.—Title XLII of the Atomic 

11 Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2521 et seq.) is

20 ‘‘(2) during 2026, produces not less than 50 

21 war reserve plutonium pits; and 

22 ‘‘(3) during a pilot period of not less than 90 

23 days during 2027, demonstrates the capability to 

24 produce war reserve plutonium pits at a rate suffi25 cient to produce 80 pits per year. 
907

2 March 1, 2015, and each year thereafter through 2027, 

3 the Secretary shall certify to the congressional defense 

4 committees and the Secretary of Defense that the pro5 grams and budget of the Secretary will enable the nuclear 

6 security enterprise to meet the requirements under sub7 section (a). 

8 ‘‘(c) PLAN.—If the Secretary does not make a certifi9 cation by March 1 of any year in which a certification 

10 is required under subsection (b), by not later than May 

11 1 of such year, the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons 

12 Council shall submit to the congressional defense commit13 tees a plan to enable the nuclear security enterprise to 

14 meet the requirements under subsection (b). Such plan 

15 shall include identification of the resources of the Depart16 ment of Energy that the Chairman determines should be 

17 redirected to support the plan to meet such require18 ments.’’. 

19 (2) CLERICAL AMENDMENT.—The table of con20 tents for the Atomic Energy Defense Act is amended 

21 by inserting after the item relating to section 4218

938 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (b) LIMITATION.—If DD–17 (formerly known as 

2 USN–YFD–17) is sold after the date of the enactment 

3 of this Act, subsection (a) shall cease to have effect unless 

4 the purchaser of DD–17 is an eligible owner described in

6 SEC. 3503. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ROLE OF DOMES7 TIC MARITIME INDUSTRY IN NATIONAL SECU8 RITY. 

9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 

10 (1) the United States domestic maritime indus11 try carries hundreds of million of tons of cargo an12 nually, supports nearly 500,000 jobs, and provides 

13 nearly 100 billion in annual economic output; 

14 (2) the Nation’s military sealift capacity will 

15 benefit from one of the fastest growing segments of 

16 the domestic trades, 14 domestic trade tankers that 

17 are on order to be constructed at United States 

18 shipyards as of February 1, 2014; 

19 (3) the domestic trades’ vessel innovations that 

20 transformed worldwide maritime commerce include 

21 the development of containerships, self-unloading 

22 vessels, articulated tug-barges, trailer barges, chem23 ical parcel tankers, railroad-on-barge carfloats, and 

24 river flotilla towing systems; 
939 

•HR 4435 EH

1 (4) the national security benefits of the domes2 tic maritime industry are unquestioned as the De3 partment of Defense depends on United States do4 mestic trades’ fleet of container ships, roll-on/roll-off 

5 ships, and product tankers to carry military cargoes; 

6 (5) the Department of Defense benefits from a 

7 robust commercial shipyard and ship repair industry 

8 and current growth in that sector is particularly im9 portant as Federal budget cuts may reduce the num10 ber of new constructed military vessels; and 

11 (6) the domestic fleet is essential to national se12 curity and was a primary source of mariners needed 

13 to crew United States Government-owned sealift ves14 sels activated from reserve status during Operations 

15 Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom in the period 

16 2002 through 2010. 

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con18 gress that United States coastwise trade laws promote a 

19 strong domestic trade maritime industry, which supports 

20 the national security and economic vitality of the United 

21 States and the efficient operation of the United States 

22 transportation system.
