7 PROGRAM OF THE OHIO-CLASS BALLISTIC 

8 MISSILE SUBMARINE. 

9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find10 ings: 

11 (1) The sea-based strategic deterrence provided 

12 by the ballistic missile submarine force of the Navy 

13 has been essential to the national security of the 

14 United States since the deployment of the first bal15 listic missile submarine, the USS George Wash16 ington SSBN 598, in 1960. 

17 (2) Since 1960, a total of 59 submarines have 

18 served the United States to provide the sea-based 

19 strategic deterrence. 

20 (3) As of the date of the enactment of this Act, 

21 the sea-based strategic deterrence is provided by the 

22 tremendous capability of the 14 ships of the Ohio23 class submarine force, which have been the primary 

24 sea-based deterrent force for more than two decades. 
51 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (4) Ballistic missile submarines are the most 

2 survivable asset in the arsenal of the United States 

3 in the event of a surprise nuclear attack on the 

4 country because, being submerged for months at a 

5 time, these submarines are virtually undetectable to 

6 any adversary and therefore invulnerable to attack, 

7 thus providing the submarines with the ability to re8 spond with significant force against any adversary 

9 who attacks the United States or its allies. 

10 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con11 gress that— 

12 (1) as Ohio-class submarines reach the end of 

13 their service life and are retired, the United States 

14 must maintain the robust sea-based strategic deter15 rent force that has the ability to remain undetected 

16 by potential adversaries and must have the capa17 bility to deliver a retaliatory strike of such mag18 nitude that no rational actor would dare attack the 

19 United States; 

20 (2) the Secretary of Defense should conduct a 

21 comprehensive analysis of the alternative capabilities 

22 to provide the sea-based strategic deterrence that in23 cludes consideration of different types and sizes of 

24 submarines, different types and sizes of missile sys25 tems, the number of submarines necessary to pro-
52 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 vide such deterrence, and the cost of each alter2 native; and 

3 (3) prior to requesting more than 

4 $1,000,000,000 in research and development fund5 ing to develop a replacement for the Ohio-class bal6 listic missile submarine force in advance of a Mile7 stone A decision, the Secretary of Defense should 

8 have made available to Congress the guidance issued 

9 by the Director of Cost Assessment and Perform10 ance Evaluation with respect to the analysis of alter11 native capabilities and the results of such analysis.

1 which the report required under subsection (b)(1) is sub2 mitted to the congressional defense committees. 

3 SEC. 224. HOMELAND DEFENSE HEDGING POLICY. 

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

5 (1) As noted by the Director of National Intel6 ligence, testifying before the Senate Select Com7 mittee on Intelligence on February 2, 2010, ‘‘the 

8 Iranian regime continues to flout UN Security 

9 Council restrictions on its nuclear program. . .we 

10 judge Iran would likely choose missile delivery as its 

11 preferred method of delivering a nuclear weapon. 

12 Iran already has the largest inventory of ballistic 

13 missiles in the Middle East and it continues to ex14 pand the scale, reach, and sophistication of its bal15 listic missile forces—many of which are inherently 

16 capable of carrying a nuclear payload.’’. 

17 (2) The Unclassified Report on Military Power 

18 of Iran, dated April 2010, states that, ‘‘with suffi19 cient foreign assistance, Iran could probably develop 

20 and test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) 

21 capable of reaching the United States by 2015. Iran 

22 could also have an intermediate-range ballistic mis23 sile (IRBM) capable of threatening Europe.’’. 

24 (3) Under phase 3 of the phased, adaptive ap25 proach for missile defense in Europe (scheduled for 
64 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 2018), the United States plans to deploy the stand2 ard missile–3 block IIA interceptor at sea- and land3 based sites in addition to existing missile defense 

4 systems to provide coverage for all NATO allies in 

5 Europe against medium- and intermediate-range bal6 listic missiles. 

7 (4) Under phase 4 of the phased, adaptive ap8 proach for missile defense in Europe (scheduled for 

9 2020), the United States plans to deploy the stand10 ard missile–3 block IIB interceptor to provide addi11 tional coverage of the United States against a poten12 tial intercontinental ballistic missile launched from 

13 the Middle East in the 2020 time frame. 

14 (5) According to the February 2010 Ballistic 

15 Missile Defense Review, the United States will con16 tinue the development and assessment of a two-stage 

17 ground-based interceptor as part of a hedging strat18 egy and, as further noted by the Under Secretary of 

19 Defense for Policy during testimony before the Com20 mittee on Armed Services of the House of Rep21 resentatives on October 1, 2009, ‘‘we keep the devel22 opment of the two-stage [ground-based interceptor] 

23 on the books as a hedge in case things come earlier, 

24 in case there’s any kind of technological challenge 

25 with the later models of the [standard missile–3].’’.

7 consistent with NATO policy and the phased, 

8 adapted approach for missile defense announced 

9 on September 17, 2009; and 

10 (B) have been confirmed to perform the

16 U.S.C. 2431 note) and to test those systems in an 

17 operationally realistic manner; 

18 (3) ensure that the standard missile–3 block 

19 IIA interceptor planned for phase 3 of the phased, 

20 adaptive approach for missile defense is capable of 

21 addressing intermediate-range ballistic missiles 

22 launched from the Middle East and the standard

6 that— 

7 (i) the intermediate-range ballistic 

8 missile threat to NATO allies in Europe 

9 materializes before the availability of the 

10 standard missile–3 block IIA interceptor; 

11 (ii) the intercontinental ballistic mis12 sile threat to the United States that can13 not be countered with the existing ground14 based missile defense system materializes 

15 before the availability of the standard mis16 sile–3 block IIB interceptor; or 

17 (iii) technical challenges or schedule 

18 delays affect the standard missile–3 block 

19 IIA interceptor or the standard missile–3

2 EARTH NEODYMIUM IRON BORON MAGNETS. 

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

4 (1) There is an urgent need to restore the 

5 United States capability to manufacture sintered ne6 odymium iron boron magnets for use in defense ap7 plications and there is an urgent need to eliminate 

8 the domestic supply-chain vulnerability related to 

9 these key materials in the defense supply-chain. 

10 (2) An April 14, 2010 report by the Govern11 ment Accountability Office entitled ‘‘Rare Earth Ma12 terials in the Defense Supply Chain’’ dem13 onstrates— 

14 (A) the ‘‘United States is not currently 

15 producing neodymium iron boron magnets,’’ a 

16 key rare earth material; 

17 (B) that future availability of neodymium 

18 is largely controlled by Chinese suppliers; 

19 (C) that alternatives to rare earth mate20 rials could reduce the demand and dependence 

21 on rare earth materials in 10 to 15 years, but 

22 these materials might not meet current applica23 tion requirements; 

24 (D) where rare earth materials are used in 

25 defense systems, the materials are responsible 

26 for the functionality of the component and 
425 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 would be difficult to replace without losing per2 formance; 

3 (E) fin actuators used in precision-guided 

4 munitions are specifically designed around the 

5 capabilities of neodymium iron boron rare earth 

6 magnets, which are primarily available from 

7 Chinese suppliers; 

8 (F) the DDG–51 Hybrid Electric Drive 

9 Ship Program uses permanent-magnet motors 

10 using neodymium magnets from China; and 

11 (G) future generations of some defense 

12 system components, such as transmit and re13 ceive modules for radars, will continue to de14 pend on rare earth materials. 

15 (3) The United States has the technological ca16 pability to restore its neodymium iron boron manu17 facturing capability. 

18 (4) Worldwide supplies or rare earth materials, 

19 including neodymium, are expected to tighten signifi20 cantly within the next 3–5 years. 

21 (5) A domestic effort to restore domestic sin22 tered neodymium iron boron magnet manufacturing 

23 capability, including efforts to qualify those magnets 

24 for use in defense applications, will take between 3– 
426 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 5 years and should begin immediately to avoid fu2 ture weapon system delivery disruption. 

3 (b) REQUIREMENT.—Not later than 90 days after the 

4 date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall sub5 mit to the Committees on Armed Services of the House 

6 of Representatives and the Senate a plan to establish a 

7 domestic source of sintered neodymium iron boron 

8 magnets for use in the defense supply chain. 

9 (c) SINTERED NEODYMIUM IRON BORON

10 MAGNETS.—For the purposes of subsection (b), the capa11 bility to manufacture sintered neodymium iron boron 

12 magnets includes the alloying, pressing, and sintering of 

13 magnet materials. It does not include manufacturing 

14 magnets from standard shapes or imported blocks of neo15 dymium. The Secretary’s plan shall not allow the grinding 

16 or reprocessing of neodymium to be considered a ‘‘domes17 tic source of sintered neodymium iron boron magnets’’.

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 and procedures aimed at increasing emphasis on eth2 ics, governance, and fraud prevention. 

3 (2) The Government Accountability Office re4 port dated December 16, 2009, on the status of 

5 3,099 recommendations made to the Department of 

6 Defense by the Government Accountability Office be7 tween 2001 and 2008, indicates that the Depart8 ment of Defense has implemented 1,871, or 61 per9 cent, of the recommendations. 

10 (3) The Government Accountability Office esti11 mates that the implementation of these rec12 ommendations yielded the Federal Government a 

13 savings of $89 billion from 2001 through 2007, 

14 averaging $12.7 billion in annual financial benefit. 

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

17 (1) there is potential for additional and signifi18 cant cost savings through further reductions by the 

19 Secretary of Defense in waste, fraud, and abuse, 

20 particularly with regard to contracting processes;

21 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find22 ings: 

23 (1) Father Vincent Capodanno was born on 

24 February 13, 1929, in Staten Island, New York. 
526 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (2) After attending Fordham University for a 

2 year, he entered the Maryknoll Missionary Seminary 

3 in upstate New York in 1949, and was ordained a 

4 Catholic priest in June 1957. 

5 (3) Father Capodanno’s first assignment as a 

6 missionary was working with aboriginal Taiwanese 

7 people in the mountains of Taiwan where he served 

8 in a parish and later in a school. After several years, 

9 Father Capodanno returned to the United States for 

10 leave and then was assigned to a Maryknoll school 

11 in Hong Kong. 

12 (4) Father Vincent Capodanno volunteered as a 

13 Navy Chaplain and was commissioned a Lieutenant 

14 in the Chaplain Corps of the United States Naval 

15 Reserve in December 28, 1965. 

16 (5) Father Vincent Capodanno selflessly ex17 tended his combat tour in Vietnam on the condition 

18 he was allowed to remain with the infantry. 

19 (6) On September 4, 1967, during a fierce bat20 tle in the Thang Binh District of the Que-Son Valley 

21 in Vietnam, Father Capodanno went among the 

22 wounded and dying, giving last rites and caring for 

23 the injured. He was killed that day while taking care 

24 of his Marines. 
527 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (7) On January 7, 1969, Father Vincent 

2 Capodanno was awarded the Medal of Honor post3 humously for comforting the wounded and dying

6 Star, the Purple Heart, the Presidential Unit Cita7 tion, the National Defense Service Medal, the Viet8 nam Service Medal, the Vietnam Gallantry Cross 

9 with Palm, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal. 

10 (8) In his memory, the U.S.S. Capodanno was 

11 commissioned on September 17, 1973. It is the only 

12 Naval vessel to date to have received a Papal bless13 ing by Pope John Paul II in Naples, Italy, on Sep14 tember 4, 1981. 

15 (9) The U.S.S. Capodanno was decommissioned 

16 on July 30, 1993. 

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con18 gress that the Secretary of the Navy should name a com19 bat vessel of the United States Navy the ‘‘U.S.S. Father 

20 Vincent Capodanno’’, in honor of Father Vincent

13 to reduce its number of operationally deployed stra14 tegic nuclear warheads to between 1,700 and 2,200 

15 by December 31, 2012. 

16 (4) The United States plans to further reduce 

17 its stockpile of deployed strategic nuclear warheads 

18 to 1,550 during the next seven years. 

19 (5) The United States plans to further reduce 

20 its deployed ballistic missiles and heavy bombers to 

21 700 and its deployed and non-deployed launchers 

22 and heavy bombers to 800 during the next seven 

23 years. 

24 (6) Beyond these plans for reductions, the Nu25 clear Posture Review of April 2010 stated that, ‘‘the 

26 President has directed a review of potential future 
585 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 reductions in U.S. nuclear weapons below New 

2 START levels. Several factors will influence the 

3 magnitude and pace of such reductions.’’. 

4 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con5 gress that— 

6 (1) any reductions in the nuclear forces of the 

7 United States should be supported by a thorough as8 sessment of the strategic environment, threat, and 

9 policy and the technical and operational implications 

10 of such reductions; and 

11 (2) specific criteria are necessary to guide fu12 ture decisions regarding further reductions in the 

13 nuclear forces of the United States. 

14 (c) LIMITATION.—No action may be taken to imple15 ment the reduction of nuclear forces of the United States 

16 below the levels described in paragraphs (4) and (5) of 

17 subsection (a), unless— 

18 (1) the Secretary of Defense and the Adminis19 trator for Nuclear Security jointly submit to the con20 gressional defense committees a report on such re21 duction, including— 

22 (A) the justification for such reduction; 

23 (B) an assessment of the strategic environ24 ment, threat, and policy and the technical and 

25 operational implications of such reduction; 
586 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (C) written certification by the Secretary 

2 of Defense that— 

3 (i) either— 

4 (I) the strategic environment or 

5 the assessment of the threat has 

6 changed to allow for such reduction; 

7 or 

8 (II) technical measures to pro9 vide a commensurate or better level of 

10 safety, security, and reliability as be11 fore such reduction have been imple12 mented for the remaining nuclear 

13 forces of the United States; 

14 (ii) such reduction preserves the nu15 clear deterrent capabilities of the ‘‘nuclear 

16 triad’’ (intercontinental ballistic missiles, 

17 ballistic missile submarines, and heavy 

18 bombers and dual-capable aircraft); 

19 (iii) such reduction does not require a 

20 change in targeting strategy from 

21 counterforce targeting to countervalue tar22 geting; 

23 (iv) the remaining nuclear forces of 

24 the United States provide a sufficient 

25 means of protection against unforeseen 
587 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 technical challenges and geopolitical 

2 events; and 

3 (v) such reduction is compensated by 

4 other measures (such as nuclear mod5 ernization, conventional forces, and missile 

6 defense) that together provide a commen7 surate or better deterrence capability and 

8 level of credibility as before such reduction; 

9 and 

10 (D) written certification by the Adminis11 trator for Nuclear Security that— 

12 (i) technical measures to provide a 

13 commensurate or better level of safety, se14 curity, and reliability as before such reduc15 tion have been implemented for the re16 maining nuclear forces of the United 

17 States; 

18 (ii) the remaining nuclear forces of 

19 the United States provide a sufficient 

20 means of protection against unforeseen 

21 technical challenges and geopolitical 

22 events; and 

23 (iii) measures to modernize the nu24 clear weapons complex have been imple25 mented to provide a sufficiently responsive 
588 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 infrastructure to support the remaining 

2 nuclear forces of the United States; and 

3 (2) a period of 180 days has elapsed after the 

4 date on which the report under paragraph (1) is 

5 submitted. 

6 (d) DEFINITION.—In this section, the term ‘‘nuclear 

7 forces of the United States’’ includes— 

8 (1) both active and inactive nuclear warheads in 

9 the nuclear weapons stockpile; and 

10 (2) deployed and non-deployed delivery vehicles. 

11 SEC. 1058. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NUCLEAR POS12 TURE REVIEW. 

13 It is the sense of Congress that the Nuclear Posture 

14 Review, released in April 2010 by the Secretary of De15 fense, weakens the national security of the United States 

16 by eliminating options to defend against a catastrophic nu17 clear, biological, chemical, or conventional attack against 

18 the United States. 

19 SEC. 1059. STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT OF STRATEGIC CHAL20 LENGES POSED BY POTENTIAL COMPETI21 TORS. 

22 The Secretary of Defense shall, in consultation with 

23 the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the commanders of the re24 gional combatant commands, submit to the congressional 

25 defense committees, not later than March 15, 2011, a 
589 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 comprehensive strategic assessment of the current and fu2 ture strategic challenges posed to the United States by 

3 potential competitors out through 2021, with particular 

4 attention paid to those challenges posed by the military 

5 modernization of the People’s Republic of China, Iran, 

6 North Korea, and Russia. 

7 SEC. 1060. ELECTRONIC ACCESS TO CERTAIN CLASSIFIED 

8 INFORMATION. 

9 The Secretary of Defense shall provide to each com10 mittee of Congress an electronic communications link to 

11 classified information in the possession of the Department 

12 of Defense pertaining to a subject matter that is in the 

13 jurisdiction of such committee under the Rules of the 

14 House of Representatives or the Standing Rules of the 

15 Senate. Such electronic communications link shall be ca16 pable of supporting appropriate classified communications 

17 between the Department of Defense and each committee 

18 of Congress authorized to carry out such communications. 

19 SEC. 1061. JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE AND TER20 RORISM. 

21 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find22 ings: 

23 (1) The National Defense Authorization Act for 

24 Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110–181) expressed 

25 the sense of Congress (in section 1083(d)(4)) that 
590 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 the Secretary of State ‘‘should work with the Gov2 ernment of Iraq on a state-to-state basis to ensure 

3 compensation for any meritorious claims based on 

4 terrorist acts committed by the Saddam Hussein re5 gime against individuals who were United States na6 tionals or members of the United States Armed 

7 Forces at the time of those terrorist acts and whose 

8 claims cannot be addressed in courts in the United 

9 States due to the exercise of the waiver authority’’ 

10 provided to the President under section 1083(d) of 

11 that Act. 

12 (2) The House of Representatives in the 110th 

13 Congress unanimously adopted H.R. 5167, the Jus14 tice for Victims of Torture and Terrorism Act, which 

15 set forth an appropriate compromise of the claims 

16 described in paragraph (1). 

17 (3) The National Defense Authorization Act for 

18 Fiscal Year 2010 (in section 1079) further ex19 pressed the sense of Congress that these claims of 

20 American victims of torture and hostage taking by 

21 Iraq ‘‘should be resolved by a prompt and fair settle22 ment negotiated between the Government of Iraq 

23 and the Government of the United States, taking 

24 note of the provisions of H.R. 5167 of the 110th 
591 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 Congress, which was adopted by the United States 

2 House of Representatives’’. 

3 (4) Pursuant to these congressional actions, the 

4 Secretary of State has diligently pursued these nego5 tiations with the Government of Iraq. To date, how6 ever, more than three years after the enactment of 

7 the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

8 Year 2008, and nearly a year after the enactment of 

9 the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

10 Year 2010, there has been no resolution of these 

11 claims of injured Americans, despite the resolution 

12 by Iraq of claims of foreign corporations against the 

13 Saddam Hussein regime. 

14 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con15 gress that the claims of American victims of torture and 

16 hostage taking by the Government of Iraq during the re17 gime of Saddam Hussein that are subject to Presidential 

18 Determination Number 2008–9 of January 28, 2008, 

19 which waived application of section 1083 of the National 

20 Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, should 

21 be resolved by a prompt and fair settlement negotiated be22 tween the Government of Iraq and the Government of the 

23 United States.

21 SEC. 1065. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PRESI22 DENTIAL LETTERS OF CONDOLENCE TO THE 

23 FAMILIES OF MEMBERS OF THE ARMED 

24 FORCES WHO HAVE DIED BY SUICIDE. 

25 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
598 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (1) suicide is a growing problem in the Armed 

2 Forces that cannot be ignored; 

3 (2) a record number of military suicides was re4 ported in 2008, with 128 active-duty Army and 48 

5 Marine deaths reported; 

6 (3) the number of military suicides during 2009 

7 is expected to equal or exceed the 2008 total; 

8 (4) long-standing policy prevents President 

9 Obama from sending a condolence letter to the fam10 ily of a member of the Armed Forces who has died 

11 by suicide; 

12 (5) members of the Armed Forces sacrifice 

13 their physical, mental, and emotional well-being for 

14 the freedoms Americans hold dear; 

15 (6) the military family also bears the cost of de16 fending the United States, with military spouses and 

17 children sacrificing much and standing ready to pro18 vide unending support to their spouse or parent who 

19 is a member of the Armed Forces; 

20 (7) the loss of a member of the Armed Forces 

21 to suicide directly and tragically affects military 

22 spouses and children, as well as the United States; 

23 (8) much more needs to be done to protect and 

24 address the mental health needs of members of the 
599 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 Armed Forces, just as they serve to protect and de2 fend the freedoms of the United States; 

3 (9) a presidential letter of condolence is not 

4 only about the deceased because it also serves as a 

5 sign of respect for the grieving family and an ac6 knowledgment of the family for their personal loss; 

7 and 

8 (10) a lack of acknowledgment and condolence 

9 from the President only leaves these families with an 

10 emotional vacuum and a feeling that somehow their 

11 sacrifices have been less than the sacrifices of oth12 ers. 

13 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con14 gress that— 

15 (1) the current policy that prohibits sending a 

16 presidential letter of condolence to the family of a 

17 member of the Armed Forces who has died by sui18 cide only serves to perpetuate the stigma of mental 

19 illness that pervades the Armed Forces; and 

20 (2) the President, as Commander-in-Chief, 

21 should overturn the policy and treat all military fam22 ilies equally. 
600 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 SEC. 1066. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS ON OBE2 SITY AND FEDERAL CHILD NUTRITION PRO3 GRAMS. 

4 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress find the following: 

5 (1) According to the April 2010 report, ‘‘Too 

6 Fat to Fight’’, more than 100 retired generals and 

7 admirals wrote that, ‘‘[o]besity among children and 

8 young adults have increased so dramatically that 

9 they threaten not only the overall health of America 

10 but the future strength of our military.’’. 

11 (2) Twenty-seven percent, over 9,000,000, 17– 

12 24-year-olds in the United States are too fat to serve 

13 in the military. 

14 (3) Between 1995 and 2008, the military had 

15 140,000 individuals who showed up at the centers 

16 for processing but failed their entrance physicals be17 cause they were too heavy. 

18 (4) Being overweight is now the leading medical 

19 reason for rejection from military service. 

20 (5) Between 1995 and 2008, the proportion of 

21 potential recruits who failed their physicals each 

22 year because they were overweight rose nearly 70 

23 percent. 

24 (6) The military annually discharges over 1,200 

25 first-term enlistees before their contracts are up be26 cause of weight problems. 
601 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (7) The military must then recruit and train 

2 their replacements at a cost of $50,000 for each 

3 man or woman. 

4 (8) Training replacements for those discharged 

5 because of weight problems adds up to more than 

6 $60,000,000 annually. 

7 (9) Overweight adolescents are more likely to 

8 become overweight adults. 

9 (10) Overweight adolescents and overweight 

10 adults are at risk of developing obesity-related, life11 threatening diseases including cancer, type 2 diabe12 tes, stroke, heart disease, arthritis, and breathing 

13 problems. 

14 (11) According to the American Public Health 

15 Association, ‘‘left unchecked, obesity will add nearly 

16 $344 billion to the nations annual health care costs 

17 by 2018 and account for more than 21 percent of 

18 health care spending’’. 

19 (12) Overweight and undernourished adoles20 cents face academic challenges due to poor health 

21 behaviors, resulting in even greater risk to their fu22 ture health and earing and the Nation’s economic 

23 growth and worldwide competition. 
602 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (13) For decades military leaders have cham2 pioned efforts to improve the nutrition of young peo3 ple in America. 

4 (14) During World War II, 40 percent of re5 jected recruits were turned away because of poor or 

6 under nutrition. 

7 (15) The preamble to the Richard B. Russell 

8 National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751) states 

9 ‘‘It is hereby declared to be the policy of Congress, 

10 as a measure of national security, to safeguard the 

11 health and well-being of the Nation’s children and to 

12 encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious 

13 agricultural commodities and other food, by assisting 

14 the States, through grants in aid and other means, 

15 in providing an adequate supply of food and other 

16 facilities for the establishment, maintenance, oper17 ation and expansion of nonprofit school lunch pro18 grams’’. 

19 (16) Over 17 million children were food inse20 cure, or hungry, in 2008, according to data collected 

21 by the Department of Agriculture. 

22 (17) The Federal Child Nutrition Programs 

23 under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch 

24 Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) and the Child Nutri25 tion Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.) are prov-
603 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 en to be effective in combating both hunger and obe2 sity. 

3 (18) President Obama has called for a historic 

4 investment in the Federal Child Nutrition Programs 

5 in order to respond to 2 of the greatest child health 

6 challenges of our time, hunger and poor nutrition. 

7 (19) Two hundred twenty-one Members of Con8 gress signed a letter to Speaker Pelosi in support of 

9 President Obama’s budget request for the Federal 

10 Child Nutrition Programs. 

11 (20) This same letter requested identification of 

12 possible offsets for the new investments in these im13 portant anti-hunger and nutrition programs. 

14 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con15 gress that— 

16 (1) reducing domestic childhood obesity and 

17 hunger is a matter of national security; 

18 (2) obesity and hunger will continue to nega19 tively impact recruitment for Armed Forces without 

20 access to physical activity, healthy food, and proper 

21 nutrition; 

22 (3) Congress should act to reduce childhood 

23 obesity and hunger; 

24 (4) the Federal Child Nutrition Programs 

25 under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch 
604 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) and the Child Nutri2 tion Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.) should be 

3 funded at the President’s request; and 

4 (5) the increases in funding for such programs 

5 should be properly offset. 

6 SEC. 1067. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING REC7 REATIONAL HUNTING AND FISHING ON MILI8 TARY INSTALLATIONS. 

9 It is the sense of the Congress that— 

10 (1) military installations that permit public ac11 cess for recreational hunting and fishing should con12 tinue to permit such hunting and fishing where ap13 propriate; 

14 (2) permitting the public to access military in15 stallations for recreational hunting and fishing bene16 fits local communities by conserving and promoting 

17 the outdoors and establishing positive relations be18 tween the civilian and defense sectors; 

19 (3) any military installations that make rec20 reational hunting and fishing permits available for 

21 purchase should provide a discounted rate for active 

22 and retired members of the Armed Forces and vet23 erans with disabilities; and 

24 (4) the Department of Defense, all of the serv25 ice branches, and military installations that permit 
605 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 public access for recreational hunting and fishing 

2 should promote access to such installations by mak3 ing the appropriate accommodations for members of 

4 the Armed Forces and veterans with disabilities. 

5 SEC. 1068. SENSE OF CONGRESS ENCOURAGING THE PRESI6 DENT TO ORDER THE UNITED STATES FLAG 

7 TO BE FLOWN OVER UNITED STATES MILI8 TARY AND CIVILIAN OUTPOSTS IN HAITI DUR9 ING EARTHQUAKE RELIEF EFFORTS. 

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

11 (1) On January 12, 2010, the nation of Haiti 

12 was hit by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, adversely 

13 affecting nearly 3,000,000 people. 

14 (2) The United States has provided millions of 

15 dollars in humanitarian assistance to meet imme16 diate needs on the ground and plans to give more 

17 over the next year. 

18 (3) The Armed Forces have diligently worked to 

19 aid the people of Haiti during their time of need, 

20 providing humanitarian aid and logistical support. 

21 (4) The Armed Forces, civilians, and charitable 

22 groups have led the charge in an effort to maintain 

23 civility and bring some small semblance of hope to 

24 the devastated nation. 
606 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 (5) Members of the Armed Forces serve as the 

2 premier ambassadors of liberty, freedom, and good3 will when tasked with a humanitarian mission. 

4 (6) The generosity of the people of the United 

5 States is known the world over and the United 

6 States flag is universally recognized as a symbol of 

7 that generosity. 

8 (7) The United States has provided more aid to 

9 the nation of Haiti than all other nations combined. 

10 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress— 

11 (1) commends the Armed Forces for their com12 mitment to completing their humanitarian mission 

13 in Haiti; and 

14 (2) encourages the President to order the 

15 United States flag to be flown over all military and 

16 civilian outposts in Haiti under United States juris17 diction.

2 funds for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have 

3 been provided as emergency funds in supplemental 

4 or additional appropriations.

6 Congressional Research Service have stated that fu7 ture war costs are difficult to estimate because the 

8 Department of Defense provides little information on 

9 costs incurred to date, does not report outlays or ac10 tual expenditures for war because war and baseline 

11 funds are mixed in the same accounts, and because 

12 of a lack of information from the Department of De13 fense on many of the key factors that determine 

14 costs, including personnel levels or the pace of oper15 ations. 

16 (5) Over 2 million United States troops have 

17 served in Iraq and Afghanistan since the beginning 

18 of the conflicts.

9 confirmed Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis. 

10 (9) Approximately 46 percent of Iraq and Af11 ghanistan veterans have sought treatment at De12 partment of Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics. 

13 (10) The Independent Review Group on Reha14 bilitative Care and Administrative Processes at Wal15 ter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval 

16 Medical Center identified Traumatic Brain Injury, 

17 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, increased survival 

18 of severe burns, and traumatic amputations as the 

19 four signature wounds of the current conflicts. 

20 (11) The Independent Review Group report also 

21 states that the recovery process ‘‘can take months or 

22 years and must accommodate recurring or delayed 

23 manifestations of symptoms, extended rehabilitation 

24 and all the life complications that emerge over time

2 and increasing the possibility of conflict.’’.

1 SEC. 1236. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MISSILE DEFENSE AND 

2 NEW START TREATY WITH RUSSIAN FEDERA3 TION. 

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

5 (1) The United States and the Russian Federa6 tion signed the Treaty between the United States of 

7 America and the Russian Federation on Measures 

8 for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Stra9 tegic Offensive Arms (commonly known as the ‘‘New 

10 START Treaty’’) on April 8, 2010. 

11 (2) The preamble of the New START Treaty 

12 states, ‘‘Recognizing the existence of the inter13 relationship between strategic offensive arms and 

14 strategic defensive arms, that this interrelationship 

15 will become more important as strategic nuclear 

16 arms are reduced, and that current strategic defen17 sive arms do not undermine the viability and effec18 tiveness of the strategic offensive arms of the Par19 ties.’’. 

20 (3) Officials of the United States have stated 

21 that the New START Treaty does not constrain the 

22 missile defenses of the United States and according 

23 to the New START Treaty U.S. Congressional 

24 Briefing Book of April, 2010, released by the De25 partment of State and the Department of Defense, 

26 ‘‘The United States will continue to invest in im-
680 

•HR 5136 EH1S 

1 provements to both strategic and theater missile de2 fenses, both qualitatively and quantitatively, as need3 ed for our security and the security of our allies.’’. 

4 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con5 gress that— 

6 (1) as stated by officials of the United States, 

7 there would be no limitations on any phase of the 

8 phased, adaptive approach to missile defense in Eu9 rope resulting from ratification of the New START 

10 treaty between the United States and Russia, signed 

11 on 8 April 2010; 

12 (2) the United States should deploy the phased, 

13 adaptive approach for missile defense in Europe to 

14 protect the United States, its deployed forces, and 

15 NATO allies, after appropriate testing and con16 sistent with NATO policy; and 

17 (3) the ground-based midcourse defense system 

18 in Alaska and California should be maintained, 

19 evolved, and appropriately tested because it is the 

20 only missile defense capability as of the date of the 

21 enactment of this Act that would protect the United 

22 States from the growing threat of a long-range bal23 listic missile attack.
