1 TITLE I—FINDINGS, POLICY, AND

2 PURPOSES

3 SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

4 The Congress finds the following:

5 (1) Dramatic changes in the geo-political and

6 military landscape during the last decade have had

7 significant impacts on United States security.

8 (2) Those changes include the breakup of the

9 Warsaw Pact alliance, the disintegration of the So10 viet Union, and an increase in regional instability

11 and conflict.

12 (3) While the magnitude and implications of

13 these and other changes continues to evolve, the

14 world remains an unstable and dangerous place.

15 This uncertainty mandates the need for an on-going

16 process to establish an appropriate national security
4

•HR 7 EH

1 strategy and the forces needed to implement that

2 strategy.

3 (4) The centerpiece of the defense strategy of

4 the Administration, the review of the Department of

5 Defense conducted by the Secretary of Defense in

6 1993 known as the ‘‘Bottom Up Review’’, deter7 mined that United States forces must be—

8 (A) prepared to fight and win two nearly

9 simultaneous Major Regional Conflicts;

10 (B) able to sustain robust overseas pres11 ence in peacetime;

12 (C) prepared for a variety of regional con13 tingencies; and

14 (D) able to deter and prevent attacks with

15 weapons of mass destruction against United

16 States territory and forces and the territory

17 and forces of our allies.

18 (5) The Bottom Up Review also recommended

19 significant reductions in military forces, including

20 reduction in the number of Navy ships by one-third,

21 the number of Air Force wings by almost one-half,

22 and the level of funding for missile defenses by over

23 50 percent.

24 (6) The General Accounting Office and the

25 Congressional Budget Office have estimated that the
5

•HR 7 EH

1 mismatch between even the restrictive Bottom Up

2 Review force and the Administration defense budget

3 may be up to anywhere from $65,000,000,000 to

4 $150,000,000,000.

5 (7) Since January 1993, presidential budgets

6 and budget plans have set forth a reduction in de7 fense spending of $156,000,000,000 through fiscal

8 year 1999.

9 (8) The fiscal year 1995 budget is the 10th

10 consecutive year of reductions in real defense spend11 ing and, with the exception of fiscal year 1948, rep12 resents the lowest percentage of gross domestic

13 product for any defense budget since World War II.

14 (9) During fiscal year 1995, the number of ac15 tive duty, reserve component, and civilian personnel

16 of the Department of Defense will be reduced by

17 182,000, a rate of over 15,000 per month or over

18 500 per day. The Bureau of Labor Statistics esti19 mates that 1,200,000 defense-related private sector

20 jobs will be lost by 1997.

21 (10) Despite severe reductions and shortfalls in

22 defense funding and force structure, since 1993

23 United States military forces have been deployed

24 more often and committed to more peacetime mis25 sions per year than ever before. Most of these mis-
6

•HR 7 EH

1 sions involve United Nations peacekeeping and hu2 manitarian efforts. At the end of fiscal year 1994,

3 over 70,000 United States personnel were serving in

4 such regions as Iraq, Bosnia, Macedonia, the Adri5 atic Sea, Rwanda, and the Caribbean Sea for mis6 sions involving Haiti and Cuba.

7 (11) Despite the dramatic increase in the pace

8 of operations and the diversion of training and exer9 cise funds to cover the costs of unbudgeted contin10 gency operations, the Armed Forces of the United

11 States remain the most capable, motivated, and ef12 fective military force in the world. The ability to suc13 cessfully deploy and maintain support for the range

14 of on-going contingency operations demonstrates the

15 continued quality and professionalism of our troops.

16 (12) However, persistent indictations of declin17 ing readiness demonstrate that military units are en18 tering the early stage of a long-term systemic readi19 ness problem. This downward readiness trend risks

20 a return to the ‘‘hollow forces’’ of the 1970s.

21 (13) At the end of fiscal year 1994, one-third

22 of the units in the Army contingency force and all

23 of the forward-deployed and follow-on Army divi24 sions were reporting a reduced state of military

25 readiness. During fiscal year 1994, training readi-
7

•HR 7 EH

1 ness declined for the Navy’s Atlantic and Pacific

2 fleets. Training funding shortfalls also resulted in a

3 grounding of Navy and Marine Corps aircraft squad4 rons and cancellation and curtailment of Army

5 training exercises. Marine and naval personnel are

6 not maintaining the standard 12- to 18-month res7 pite between six-month deployments away from

8 home.

9 (14) The significant increase in deployments in

10 support of peacekeeping, humanitarian, and contin11 gency operations has placed great personnel tempo

12 stress on many critical operational units.

13 (15) A real commitment to equitable compensa14 tion and protection of quality-of-life programs for

15 servicemembers and their families is an esssential

16 component to ensuring high personnel morale and

17 sustaining force readiness. However, as of January

18 1, 1995, military pay is approximately 12.8 percent

19 below comparable civilian levels. As a result, it is es20 timated that close to 17,000 junior enlisted person21 nel have to rely on food stamps and the Department

22 of Defense will soon begin providing supplementary

23 food benefits to an estimated 11,000 military per24 sonnel and dependents living overseas.
8

•HR 7 EH

1 (16) Critical long-term modernization programs

2 continue to be delayed or cancelled as resources are

3 diverted to cover short-term personnel and readiness

4 shortfalls resulting from an underfunded defense

5 budget and an overextended force, threatening the

6 technological superiority of future United States

7 forces.

8 (17) The fiscal year 1995 defense budget failed

9 to meet the current force structure goal of 184 mod10 ern long-range bombers, as established in the Bot11 tom-Up Review. Unless this long-range bomber ca12 pability shortfall is addressed promptly, the Nation’s

13 ability to project force will be undermined and the

14 existing bomber industrial base may be placed at

15 risk.

16 (18) The Administration has initially agreed to

17 or proposed treaty limitations, or has unilaterally

18 adopted positions, that prohibit the United States

19 from testing or deploying effective missile defense

20 systems.

21 (19) United Nations assessments to the United

22 States for peacekeeping missions totaled over

23 $1,000,000,000 in 1994. The United States is as24 sessed 31.7 percent of annual United Nations costs

25 for peacekeeping. The next highest contributor,
9

•HR 7 EH

1 Japan, only pays 12.5 percent of such costs. The

2 Department of Defense also incurs hundreds of mil3 lions of dollars in costs every year for United States

4 military participation in United Nations peacekeep5 ing or humanitarian missions, most of which are not

6 reimbursed by the United Nations. For fiscal year

7 1994, these Department of Defense costs totaled

8 over $1,721,000,000.

9 (20) Credible and effective collective action on

10 international security concerns through the United

11 Nations and regional organizations such as the

12 North Atlantic Treaty Organization can, in appro13 priate cases, advance world peace, strengthen the

14 national security of the United States, and foster

15 more equitable burden-sharing with friends and al16 lies of the United States in military, political, and fi17 nancial terms.

18 SEC. 102. POLICY.

19 The Congress is committed to providing adequate re20 sources to protect the national security interests of the

21 United States, including the resources necessary—

22 (1) to provide for sufficient forces to meet the

23 national security strategy of being able to fight and

24 win two nearly simultaneously major regional con25 flicts;
10

•HR 7 EH

1 (2) to provide for sufficient forces to meet the

2 national security strategy of using forward-deployed

3 and forward-based forces to promote regional stabil4 ity, deter aggression, improve joint/combined oper5 ations among United States forces and allies, and

6 ensure timely crisis response;

7 (3) to provide pay and benefits necessary for

8 members of the Armed Forces (including members

9 of the National Guard and Reserve as well as active

10 duty members) to begin closing the gap between

11 rates of civilian pay and rates of military pay;

12 (4) to maintain a high quality-of-life for mili13 tary personnel and their dependents;

14 (5) to maintain a high level of military readi15 ness and take all necessary steps to avoid a return

16 to the ‘‘hollow forces’’ of the 1970s;

17 (6) to fully provide for the necessary mod18 ernization of United States military forces in order

19 to ensure their technological superiority over any ad20 versary; and

21 (7) to develop and deploy at the earliest prac22 tical date highly effective national and theater mis23 sile defense systems.

24 SEC. 103. PURPOSES.

25 The purposes of this Act are—
11

•HR 7 EH

1 (1) to establish an advisory commission to as2 sess United States military needs and address the

3 problems posed by the continuing downward spiral

4 of defense spending;

5 (2) to commit the United States to accelerate

6 the development and deployment of theater and na7 tional ballistic missile defense capabilities;

8 (3) to restrict deployment of United States

9 forces to missions that are in the national security

10 interest of the United States;

11 (4) to maintain adequate command and control

12 by United States personnel of United States forces

13 participating in United Nations peacekeeping oper14 ations;

15 (5) to reduce the cost to the United States of

16 United Nations peacekeeping activities and to press

17 for reforms in United Nations management prac18 tices; and

19 (6) to reemphasize the commitment of the

20 United States to a strong and viable North Atlantic

21 Treaty Organization.

•HR 7 EH

1 TITLE II—POLICY REGARDING

2 PRIORITY FOR MISSILE DE3 FENSE PROGRAMS

4 SEC. 201. POLICY.

5 The following, in the order listed, shall be the policy

6 of the United States with respect to the priority for devel7 opment and deployment of missile defense programs:

8 (1) First, ensuring operational readiness of the

9 Armed Forces and accomplishing programmed mod10 ernization of weapons systems.

11 (2) Second, as part of such modernization, com12 pleting the development and deployment at the earli13 est practicable date of more effective theater missile

14 defense (TMD) systems by adequately funding es15 sential theater missile defense programs.

16 (3) Third, developing as soon as practicable,

17 subject to the availability of funding, a ground-based

18 interceptor system capable of destroying ballistic

19 missiles launched against the United States.

20 SEC. 202. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THEATER MISSILE DE21 FENSE AND THE ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE

22 (ABM) TREATY.

23 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

24 findings:
13

•HR 7 EH

1 (1) The United States and its allies face exist2 ing and expanding threats from ballistic missiles ca3 pable of being used as theater weapon systems that

4 are presently possessed by, being developed by, or

5 being acquired by a number of countries, including

6 Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and North Korea.

7 (2) Some theater ballistic missiles that are cur8 rently deployed or are being developed (such as the

9 Chinese CSS–2 missile and the North Korean Taepo

10 Dong–2 missile) have capabilities equal to or greater

11 than the capabilities of missiles that were deter12 mined to be strategic missiles more than 20 years

13 ago under the Strategic Arms Limitation Agreement

14 I (SALT I) Interim Agreement of 1972 entered into

15 between the United States and the Soviet Union.

16 (3) The Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty

17 was not intended to, and does not, apply to or limit

18 research, development, testing, or deployment of

19 missile defense systems, system upgrades, or system

20 components that are designed to counter modern

21 theater ballistic missiles, regardless of the capabili22 ties of such missiles, unless those systems, system

23 upgrades, or system components are tested against

24 or have demonstrated capabilities to counter modern

25 strategic ballistic missiles.
14

•HR 7 EH

1 (4) It is a national security priority of the

2 United States to develop and deploy highly effective

3 theater missile defense systems capable of counter4 ing the existing and expanding threats posed by

5 modern theater ballistic missiles at the earliest prac6 tical date.

7 (5) Current United States proposals in the

8 Standing Consultative Commission (SCC) would

9 multilateralize the ABM Treaty, making future

10 amendments or changes to the Treaty more difficult,

11 and would impose specific design limitations on

12 United States theater missile defense (TMD) sys13 tems that would significantly compromise the United

14 States TMD capability.

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

16 Congress that further formal negotiations in the Standing

17 Consultative Commission (SCC) and any informal discus18 sions or negotiations on either the demarcation between

19 theater missile defense (TMD) systems and anti-ballistic

20 missile (ABM) systems, or any other effort that bears on

21 the viability of the ABM Treaty, including

22 multilateralization of the treaty, should be suspended until

23 the One Hundred Fourth Congress has had the oppor24 tunity to review those matters.
15

•HR 7 EH

1 SEC. 203. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE AS A COMPONENT

2 OF MILITARY READINESS.

3 (a) USE OF FISCAL YEAR 1996 FUNDS.—Of the total

4 amount of funds appropriated or otherwise made available

5 for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1996, the

6 amount obligated for national missile defense programs

7 may exceed the amount made available for national missile

8 programs for fiscal year 1995.

9 (b) FINDINGS.—In carrying out program execution of

10 national missile defense programs using funds appro11 priated for fiscal year 1996, the Secretary of Defense shall

12 consider the following findings by Congress:

13 (1) A critical component of military readiness is

14 whether the Armed Forces are properly sized,

15 equipped, structured, and ready to carry out as16 signed missions as required by the national military

17 strategy.

18 (2) In testimony before the Committee on

19 Armed Services of the House of Representatives on

20 February 22, 1994, the Chairman of the Joint

21 Chiefs of Staff testified that ‘‘modernization is the

22 key to future readiness and it is the only way to pro23 vide our next generation with an adequate defense’’.

24 (3) Given the growing ballistic missile threat,

25 the deployment of affordable, highly effective na26 tional and theater missile defense systems is an es-
16

•HR 7 EH

1 sential objective of a defense modernization program

2 that adequately supports the requirements of the na3 tional military strategy.

4 (c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of the findings

5 in subsection (b), it is the sense of Congress that an effec6 tive national and theater missile defense capability is es7 sential to ensuring that United States Armed Forces are

8 ready to meet current and expected threats to United

9 States national security.

10 TITLE VI—EXPANSION OF THE

12 ORGANIZATION

13 SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.

14 This title may be cited as the ‘‘NATO Expansion Act

15 of 1995’’.

16 SEC. 602. FINDINGS.

17 The Congress makes the following findings:

18 (1) Since 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Or19 ganization (NATO) has helped to guarantee the se20 curity, freedom, and prosperity of the United States

21 and its partners in the alliance.

22 (2) NATO has expanded its membership on

23 three different occasions since its founding in 1949.

24 (3) The steadfast and sustained commitment of

25 the member countries of NATO to mutual defense
68

•HR 7 EH

1 against the threat of communist domination played

2 a significant role in precipitating the collapse of the

3 Iron Curtain and the demise of the Soviet Union.

4 (4) Although new threats are more geographi5 cally and functionally diverse and less predictable,

6 they still imperil shared interests of the United

7 States and its NATO allies.

8 (5) Western interests must be protected on a

9 cooperative basis without an undue burden falling

10 upon the United States.

11 (6) NATO is the only multilateral organization

12 that is capable of conducting effective military oper13 ations to protect Western interests.

14 (7) The valuable experience gained from ongo15 ing military cooperation within NATO was critical to

16 the success of joint military operations in the 1991

17 liberation of Kuwait.

18 (8) NATO is an important diplomatic forum for

19 discussion of issues of concern to its member states

20 and for the peaceful resolution of disputes.

21 (9) Admission of Central and East European

22 countries that have recently been freed from com23 munist domination to NATO could contribute to

24 international peace and enhance the security of

25 those countries.
69

•HR 7 EH

1 (10) By joining the Partnership for Peace, a

2 number of countries have expressed interest in

3 NATO membership.

4 (11) The Partnership for Peace program is cre5 ating new political and military ties with countries

6 in Central and Eastern Europe and provides the

7 basis for joint action to deal with common security

8 problems. Active participation in the Partnership for

9 Peace will also play an important role in the evolu10 tionary process of NATO expansion.

11 (12) Numerous Central and East European

12 countries, particularly Poland, Hungary, the Czech

13 Republic, and Slovakia, have made significant

14 progress toward establishing democratic institutions,

15 free market economies, civilian control of their

16 Armed Forces, police, and intelligence services, and

17 the rule of law since the fall of their previous com18 munist governments.

19 SEC. 603. UNITED STATES POLICY.

20 It should be the policy of the United States—

21 (1) to continue the Nation’s commitment to an

22 active leadership role in NATO;

23 (2) to join with the Nation’s NATO allies to re24 define the role of the alliance in the post-Cold War

25 world, taking into account—
70

•HR 7 EH

1 (A) the fundamentally changed security en2 vironment of Central and Eastern Europe;

3 (B) the need to assure all countries of the

4 defensive nature of the alliance and the desire

5 of its members to work cooperatively with all

6 former adversaries;

7 (C) the emerging security threats posed by

8 the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and bio9 logical weapons of mass destruction and the

10 means to deliver them;

11 (D) the continuing challenges to the inter12 ests of all NATO member countries posed by

13 unstable and undemocratic regimes harboring

14 hostile intentions; and

15 (E) the dependence of the global economy

16 on a stable energy supply and the free flow of

17 commerce;

18 (3) to affirm that NATO military planning

19 should include joint military operations beyond the

20 geographic bounds of the alliance under Article 4 of

21 the North Atlantic Treaty when the shared interests

22 of the United States and other member countries re23 quire such action to defend vital interests;

24 (4) to expeditiously pursue joint cooperation

25 agreements for the acquisition of essential systems
71

•HR 7 EH

1 to significantly increase the crisis management capa2 bility of NATO;

3 (5) that Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic,

4 and Slovakia should be in a position to further the

5 principles of the North Atlantic Treaty and to con6 tribute to the security of the North Atlantic area in

7 the near future, and, in accordance with Article 10

8 of such Treaty, should be invited to become full

9 NATO members, provided these countries—

10 (A) meet appropriate standards, includ11 ing—

12 (i) shared values and interests;

13 (ii) democratic governments;

14 (iii) free market economies;

15 (iv) civilian control of the military, of

16 the police, and of the intelligence and other

17 security services, so that these organiza18 tions do not pose a threat to democratic

19 institutions, neighboring countries, or the

20 security of NATO or the United States;

21 (v) adherence to the rule of law and

22 to the values, principles, and political com23 mitments set forth in the Helsinki Final

24 Act and other declarations by the members
72

•HR 7 EH

1 of the Organization on Security and Co2 operation in Europe;

3 (vi) commitment to further the prin4 ciples of NATO and to contribute to the

5 security of the North Atlantic area;

6 (vii) commitment and ability to accept

7 the obligations, responsibilities, and costs

8 of NATO membership; and

9 (viii) commitment and ability to im10 plement infrastructure development activi11 ties that will facilitate participation in and

13 (B) remain committed to protecting the
