10 (2) Forward airpower is integral to the security 

11 and joint forces operations of the United States. Car12 riers play a central role in delivering forward air13 power from sovereign territory of the United States in 

14 both permissive and nonpermissive environments. 

15 (3) Aircraft carriers provide our Nation the abil16 ity to rapidly and decisively respond to national 

17 threats, as well as conducting worldwide, on-station 

18 diplomacy and providing deterrence against threats 

19 to the United States allies, partners, and friends. 

20 (4) Since the end of the cold war, aircraft carrier 

21 deployments have increased while the aircraft carrier 

22 force structure has declined.

1 ment lengths and decreasing maintenance periods in 

2 order to meet operational requirements. 

3 (6) To meet global peacetime and wartime re4 quirements, the Navy has indicated a requirement to 

5 maintain two aircraft carriers deployed overseas and 

6 have three additional aircraft carriers capable of de7 ploying within 90 days. However, the Navy has indi8 cated that the existing aircraft carrier force structure 

9 cannot support these military requirements. 

10 (7) Despite the requirement to maintain an air11 craft carrier strike group in both the United States 

12 Central Command and the United States Pacific 

13 Command, the Navy has been unable to generate suf14 ficient capacity to support combatant commanders 

15 and has developed significant carrier gaps in these 

16 critical areas. 

17 (8) Because of the continuing use of a dimin18 ished aircraft carrier force structure, extensive main19 tenance availabilities result which typically exceed 

20 program costs and increase time in shipyards. These 

21 expansive maintenance availabilities exacerbate exist22 ing carrier gaps.

1 gineering cost while significantly reducing magazine 

2 size, carrier air wing size, sortie rate, and on-station 

3 effectiveness, among other vital factors, as compared 

4 to the Ford-class. Furthermore, a new design will 

5 delay the introduction of future aircraft carriers, ex6 acerbating existing carrier gaps and threatening the 

7 national security of the United States.

26 foundation for our nation’s ability to project power

1 and deter adversaries, enabling the global reach of our 

2 joint force. 

3 (2) 87 percent of the legacy aerial refueling fleet 

4 is comprised of KC–135 aircraft with an average age 

5 of 56 years. 

6 (3) The Commander of United States Transpor7 tation Command has identified the aerial refueling 

8 fleet as the ‘‘most stressed of our air mobility forces’’ 

9 and stated that ‘‘delaying KC–46 production puts the 

10 Joint Force’s ability to effectively execute war plans 

11 at risk’’. 

12 (4) As directed by the National Defense Author13 ization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115– 

14 91), the Air Force is undertaking an updated mobil15 ity capability and requirements study that will reflect 

16 guidance articulated in the 2018 National Defense 

17 Strategy and reassess the current tanker requirement 

18 of 479 aircraft. 

19 (5) The fixed-price contract for KC–46A calls for 

20 179 aircraft to be delivered by 2028. 

21 (6) The KC–46 is a multirole platform that will 

22 bring enhanced capabilities to both the aerial refuel23 ing and strategic airlift missions. The aircraft pro24 vides the ability to refuel joint and coalition aircraft 

25 by both boom and drogue systems in the same sortie;

1 improved cargo, passenger and aeromedical evacu2 ation capabilities; and enhanced survivability with 

3 multiple layers of protection enabling it to operate 

4 safely in a broader range of threat environments than 

5 legacy tankers. 

6 (7) The Government Accountability Office has 

7 stated: ‘‘The KC–46 program’s total acquisition cost 

8 estimate remained stable over the past year at 

9 $44,400,000,000, which is about $7,300,000,000 less 

10 than the original estimate.’’ 

11 (8) The Commander of Air Mobility Command 

12 has stated that the KC–46 ‘‘will bring tremendous ca13 pability to our joint warfighter’’. 

14 (9) The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 

15 Acquisition has stated: ‘‘Stability of requirements and 

16 funding are the keys to KC–46 program success and 

17 will enable the Air Force to deliver this new tanker 

18 ready for employment on day one.’’ 

19 (10) The Military Deputy to the Assistant Sec20 retary of the Air Force for Acquisition has identified 

21 the KC–46 as the Air Force’s second highest combat 

22 aviation acquisition priority ‘‘for the role that it

11 SEC. 333. SURFACE WARFARE TRAINING IMPROVEMENT. 

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

13 (1) In 2017, there were three collisions and one 

14 grounding involving United States Navy ships in the 

15 Western Pacific. The two most recent mishaps in16 volved separate incidents of a Japan-based United 

17 States Navy destroyer colliding with a commercial 

18 merchant vessel, resulting in the combined loss of 17 

19 sailors. 

20 (2) The causal factors in these four mishaps are 

21 linked directly to a failure to take sufficient action in 

22 accordance with the rules of good seamanship. 

23 (3) Because risks are high in the maritime envi24 ronment, there are widely accepted standards for safe 

25 seamanship and navigation. In the United States, the

1 International Convention on Standards of Training, 

2 Certification and Watchkeeping (hereinafter in this 

3 section referred to as the ‘‘STCW’’) for Seafarers, 

4 standardizes the skills and foundational knowledge a 

5 maritime professional must have in seamanship and 

6 navigation. 

7 (4) Section 568 of the National Defense Author8 ization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114- 

9 328; 130 Stat. 2139) endorsed the STCW process and 

10 required the Secretary of Defense to maximize the ex11 tent to which Armed Forces service, training, and 

12 qualifications are creditable toward meeting merchant 

13 mariner licenses and certifications. 

14 (5) The Surface Warfare Officer Course Cur15 riculum is being modified to include ten individual 

16 Go/No Go Mariner Assessments/Competency Check 

17 Milestones to ensure standardization and quality of 

18 the surface warfare community.

12 (1) In its 2011 ‘‘Annual Report to Congress on 

13 Military and Security Developments Involving the 

14 People’s Republic of China’’, the Department of De15 fense stated that, ‘‘China’s defense industry has bene16 fitted from integration with a rapidly expanding ci17 vilian economy and science and technology sector, 

18 particularly elements that have access to foreign tech19 nology. Progress within individual defense sectors ap20 pears linked to the relative integration of each, 

21 through China’s civilian economy, into the global pro22 duction and R&D chain . . . Information technology 

23 companies in particular, including Huawei, Datang, 

24 and Zhongxing, maintain close ties to the PLA.’’.

1 (2) In a 2011 report titled ‘‘The National Secu2 rity Implications of Investments and Products from 

3 the People’s Republic of China in the Telecommuni4 cations Sector’’, the United States China Commission 

5 stated that ‘‘[n]ational security concerns have accom6 panied the dramatic growth of China’s telecom sector. 

7 . . . Additionally, large Chinese companies—particu8 larly those ‘national champions’ prominent in Chi9 na’s ‘going out’ strategy of overseas expansion—are 

10 directly subject to direction by the Chinese Com11 munist Party, to include support for PRC state poli12 cies and goals.’’. 

13 (3) The Commission further stated in its report 

14 that ‘‘[f]rom this point of view, the clear economic 

15 benefits of foreign investment in the U.S. must be 

16 weighed against the potential security concerns re17 lated to infrastructure components coming under the 

18 control of foreign entities. This seems particularly ap19 plicable in the telecommunications industry, as Chi20 nese companies continue systematically to acquire 

21 significant holdings in prominent global and U.S. 

22 telecommunications and information technology com23 panies.’’. 

24 (4) In its 2011 Annual Report to Congress, the 

25 United States China Commission stated that ‘‘[t]he 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with BILLS
388 

•HR 5515 RH

1 extent of the state’s control of the Chinese economy is 

2 difficult to quantify . . . There is also a category of 

3 companies that, though claiming to be private, are 

4 subject to state influence. Such companies are often in 

5 new markets with no established SOE leaders and 

6 enjoy favorable government policies that support their 

7 development while posing obstacles to foreign competi8 tion. Examples include Chinese telecoms giant 

9 Huawei and such automotive companies as battery 

10 maker BYD and vehicle manufacturers Geely and 

11 Chery.’’. 

12 (5) General Michael Hayden, who served as Di13 rector of the Central Intelligence Agency and Director 

14 of the National Security Agency, stated in July 2013 

15 that Huawei had ‘‘shared with the Chinese state inti16 mate and extensive knowledge of foreign telecommuni17 cations systems it is involved with.’’. 

18 (6) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a 

19 February 2015 Counterintelligence Strategy Partner20 ship Intelligence Note stated that, ‘‘[w]ith the ex21 panded use of Huawei Technologies Inc. equipment

1 communications equipment on U.S. networks may be 

2 exploited through Chinese cyber activity, with China’s 

3 intelligence services operating as an advanced per4 sistent threat to U.S. networks.’’. 

5 (7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation further 

6 stated in its February 2015 counterintelligence note 

7 that, ‘‘China makes no secret that its cyber warfare 

8 strategy is predicated on controlling global commu9 nications network infrastructure.’’. 

10 (8) At a hearing before the Committee on Armed 

11 Services of the House of Representatives on September 

12 30, 2015, Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work, 

13 responding to a question about the use of Huawei 

14 telecommunications equipment, stated, ‘‘In the Office 

15 of the Secretary of Defense, absolutely not. And I 

16 know of no other—I don’t believe we operate in the 

17 Pentagon, any [Huawei] systems in the Pentagon.’’. 

18 (9) At such hearing, the Commander of the 

19 United States Cyber Command, Admiral Mike Rog20 ers, responding to a question about why such Huawei 

21 telecommunications equipment is not used, stated, ‘‘as 

22 we look at supply chain and we look at potential 

23 vulnerabilities within the system, that it is a risk we 

24 felt was unacceptable.’’.

7 academies, and defend our country with valiance, 

8 pride, and honor. 

9 (3) More than 30,000 active duty, reserve, and 

10 National Guard members of the Armed Forces iden11 tify as Native American. 

12 (4) American Indian and Alaska Natives have 

13 served and continue to serve in the highest propor14 tions to population than any other ethnic group.

22 serve in Armed Forces in higher proportions than any 

23 other ethnic group.

521 

•HR 5515 RH

1 (8) Native American Code Talkers and their lan2 guages proved an invaluable asset during World Wars 

3 I and II. 

4 (9) Ira Hayes, Akimel O’odham (Pima) helped 

5 to raise the American flag on Iwo Jima; 

6 (10) Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow, Apsa ́alooke 

7 (Crow), served in WWII and became a war chief. 

8 (11) Numerous present and past military air9 craft, helicopters, and munitions programs bear the 

10 names of Native American tribes and tribal leaders to 

11 honor their legacy of martial prowess, including the 

12 Apache, Kiowa, Black Hawk, Lakota, Chinook,

522 

•HR 5515 RH

8 senior military leadership positions, improving access

11 SEC. 1083. AMATEUR RADIO PARITY. 

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

13 (1) More than 730,000 radio amateurs in the 

14 United States are licensed by the Federal Commu15 nications Commission in the amateur radio services. 

16 (2) Amateur radio, at no cost to taxpayers, pro17 vides a fertile ground for technical self-training in 

18 modern telecommunications, electronics technology, 

19 and emergency communications techniques and proto20 cols. 

21 (3) There is a strong Federal interest in the ef22 fective performance of amateur stations established at 

23 the residences of licensees. Such stations have been 

24 shown to be frequently and increasingly precluded by 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with BILLS
523 

•HR 5515 RH

1 unreasonable private land use restrictions, including 

2 restrictive covenants. 

3 (4) Federal Communications Commission regula4 tions have for three decades prohibited the application 

5 to stations in the amateur service of State and local 

6 regulations that preclude or fail to reasonably accom7 modate amateur service communications, or that do 

8 not constitute the minimum practicable regulation to 

9 accomplish a legitimate State or local purpose. Com10 mission policy has been and is to require States and 

11 localities to permit erection of a station antenna 

12 structure at heights and dimensions sufficient to ac13 commodate amateur service communications. 

14 (5) The Commission has sought guidance and di15 rection from Congress with respect to the application 

16 of the Commission’s limited preemption policy re17 garding amateur service communications to private 

18 land use restrictions, including restrictive covenants. 

19 (6) There are aesthetic and common property 

20 considerations that are uniquely applicable to private 

21 land use regulations and the community associations 

22 obligated to enforce covenants, conditions, and restric23 tions in deed-restricted communities. These consider24 ations are dissimilar to those applicable to State law 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with BILLS
524 

•HR 5515 RH

1 and local ordinances regulating the same residential 

2 amateur radio facilities. 

3 (7) In recognition of these considerations, a sepa4 rate Federal policy than exists at section 97.15(b) of 

5 title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, is warranted 

6 concerning amateur service communications in deed7 restricted communities. 

8 (8) Community associations should fairly ad9 minister private land use regulations in the interest 

10 of their communities, while nevertheless permitting 

11 the installation and maintenance of effective outdoor 

12 amateur radio antennas. There exist antenna designs 

13 and installations that can be consistent with the aes14 thetics and physical characteristics of land and struc15 tures in community associations while accommo16 dating communications in the amateur radio services. 

17 (b) APPLICATION OF PRIVATE LAND USE RESTRIC18 TIONS TO AMATEUR STATIONS.— 

19 (1) AMENDMENT OF FCC RULES.—Not later than 

20 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 

21 the Federal Communications Commission shall 

22 amend section 97.15 of title 47, Code of Federal Regu23 lations, by adding a new paragraph that prohibits 

24 the application to amateur stations of any private

525 

•HR 5515 RH

1 land use restriction, including a restrictive covenant, 

2 that— 

3 (A) on its face or as applied, precludes com4 munications in an amateur radio service; 

5 (B) fails to permit a licensee in an amateur 

6 radio service to install and maintain an effective 

7 outdoor antenna on property under the exclusive 

8 use or control of the licensee; or 

9 (C) does not constitute the minimum prac10 ticable restriction on such communications to ac11 complish the lawful purposes of a community as12 sociation seeking to enforce such restriction. 

13 (2) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.—In amending 

14 its rules as required by subsection (a), the Commis15 sion shall— 

16 (A) require any licensee in an amateur 

17 radio service to notify and obtain prior approval 

18 from a community association concerning instal19 lation of an outdoor antenna; 

20 (B) permit a community association to pro21 hibit installation of any antenna or antenna 

22 support structure by a licensee in an amateur 

23 radio service on common property not under the 

24 exclusive use or control of the licensee; and

1 (C) subject to the standards specified in 

2 paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a), permit

4 written rules concerning height, location, size, 

5 and aesthetic impact of, and installation require6 ments for, outdoor antennas and support struc7 tures for the purpose of conducting communica8 tions in the amateur radio services. 

9 (c) AFFIRMATION OF LIMITED PREEMPTION OF STATE

10 AND LOCAL LAND USE REGULATION.—The Federal Com11 munications Commission may not change section 97.15(b)

13 applicable to State and local land use regulation of amateur 

14 service communications. 

15 (d) DEFINITIONS.—In this section: 

16 (1) The term ‘‘community association’’ means 

17 any non-profit mandatory membership organization

6 of Federal Regulations. 

7 SEC. 1084. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE INTER8 NATIONAL BORDERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 

9 It is the sense of Congress that— 

10 (1) gaining and maintaining situational aware11 ness and operational control of the international bor12 ders of the United States is critical to national secu13 rity; 

14 (2) the United States Government must devote 

15 adequate resources to securing the border, both at, and 

16 between, ports of entry, and the agency tasked with 

17 that mission, the Department of Homeland Security, 

18 should be adequately resourced to conduct such mis19 sion; and

22 them and make it in their best interest to return to

24 (2) The Honorable Daniel Coats, Director of Na25 tional Intelligence, testified before the Senate Armed 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with BILLS
597 

•HR 5515 RH

1 Services Committee on March 6, 2018, that the Rus2 sian Federation is violating the INF Treaty because 

3 ‘‘Moscow probably believes that the new GLCM pro4 vides sufficient advantages that make it worth the 

5 risk of violating the INF Treaty.’’. 

6 (3) General Hyten, Commander of the United 

7 States Strategic Command, also testified before the 

8 Senate Armed Services Committee on March 20, 

9 2018, about potential strategic advantages for China 

10 stemming from their lack of participation in the INF 

11 Treaty by saying that ‘‘they do not have any limita12 tions in the INF [Treaty], and they have built sig13 nificant numbers of intermediate-range ballistic mis14 siles that if they were in the INF [Treaty], they 

15 would be contrary to the treaty’’. 

16 (4) General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the 

17 Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified before the House Armed 

18 Services Committee on April 12, 2018, that ‘‘we’re 

19 not only looking for operational concepts and ways to 

20 deal with the Russian violation, but we’re also at 

21 least posturing ourselves to develop weapons should 

22 they be required’’. Secretary of Defense Mattis also 

23 stated in that same hearing ‘‘our effort will be 

24 matched at State Department by movement on arms 

25 control and nonproliferation. There are two thrusts to

4 United States as follows: 

5 (1) The actions undertaken by the Russian Fed6 eration in violation of the INF Treaty, including the

10 the INF Treaty. 

11 (2) In light of the Russian Federation’s material 

12 breach of the INF Treaty, the United States is legally 

13 entitled to suspend the operation of the INF Treaty 

14 in whole or in part for so long as the Russian Federa15 tion continues to be in material breach of the INF 

16 Treaty. 

17 (3) For so long as the Russian Federation re18 mains in noncompliance with the INF Treaty, the 

19 United States should take actions to encourage the 

20 Russian Federation to return to compliance with the 

21 INF Treaty, including by— 

22 (A) providing additional funds for the ca23 pabilities identified in section 1243(d) of the Na24 tional Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 

25 2016 (Public Law 114–92; 129 Stat. 1062) and

15 interest in ensuring that the United States maintains 

16 political, diplomatic, economic, military, and techno17 logical advantages over competitive adversaries. 

18 (2) The 2018 National Defense Strategy states 

19 that ‘‘the central challenge to the U.S. prosperity and 

20 security is the reemergence of long-term, strategic 

21 competition by what the National Security Strategy 

22 classifies as revisionist powers. It is increasingly clear 

23 that China and Russia want to shape a world con24 sistent with their authoritarian model—gaining veto

1 authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, 

2 and security decisions’’. 

3 (3) The 2018 National Defense Strategy further 

4 states that ‘‘China is leveraging military moderniza5 tion, influence operations, and predatory economics to 

6 coerce neighboring countries to reorder the Indo-Pa7 cific region to their advantage. As China continues its 

8 economic and military ascendance, asserting power 

9 through an all-of-nation long term strategy, it will 

10 continue to pursue a military modernization program 

11 that seeks Indo-Pacific regional hegemony in the 

12 near-term and displacement of the United States to 

13 achieve global preeminence in the future’’.

1 clear provocations, including nuclear coercion and

5 due to increased global disorder and complexity, the 

6 decline of the international rules-based order and se7 curity environment, and the erosion of the competitive

7 initiated by the previous administration, and pro8 poses two supplemental capabilities (a lower-yield 

9 submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead and a
