1 TITLE I—FINDINGS, POLICY, AND

2 PURPOSES

3 SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

4 The Congress finds the following:

5 (1) 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 (2) 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 (3) 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 (4) Despite severe reductions and shortfalls in

22 defense funding and force structure, since 1993
5

•HR 7 IH

1 United States military forces have been deployed

2 more often and committed to more peacetime mis3 sions per year than ever before. Most of these mis4 sions involve United Nations peace keeping and hu5 manitarian efforts. At the end of fiscal year 1994,

6 over 70,000 United States personnel were serving in

7 such regions as Iraq, Bosnia, Macedonia, the Adri8 atic Sea, Rwanda, and the Caribbean Sea for mis9 sions involving Haiti and Cuba.

10 (5) United Nations assessments to the United

11 States for peace keeping missions totaled almost

12 $1,500,000,000 in 1994. The United States is as13 sessed 31.7 percent of annual United Nations costs

14 for peace keeping and other United Nations mis15 sions. The next highest contributor, Japan, only

16 pays 12.5 percent of such costs. The Department of

17 Defense also incurs hundreds of millions of dollars

18 in costs every year for United States military par19 ticipation in United Nations peace keeping or hu20 manitarian missions, most of which are not reim21 bursed by the United Nations. For fiscal year 1994,

22 these Department of Defense costs totaled over

23 $1,721,000,000.

24 (6) A return to the ‘‘hollow forces’’ of the

25 1970s has already begun. At the end of fiscal year
6

•HR 7 IH

1 1994, one-third of the units in the Army contingency

2 force and all of the forward-deployed and follow-on

3 Army divisions were reporting a reduced state of

4 military readiness. During fiscal year 1994, training

5 readiness declined for the Navy’s Atlantic and Pa6 cific fleets. Funding shortfalls for that fiscal year re7 sulted in a grounding of Navy and Marine Corps air8 craft squadrons and cancellation and curtailment of

9 Army training exercises. Marine and naval personnel

10 are not maintaining the standard 12- to 18-month

11 respite between six-month deployments away from

12 home. Marine Corps units are spending up to two of

13 their first four years away from their base camps.

14 The significantly increased pace of Department of

15 Defense operations has United States forces over de16 ployed.

17 (7) As of January 1, 1995, military pay is ap18 proximately 12.8 percent below comparable civilian

19 levels. As a result, it is estimated that close to

20 17,000 junior enlisted personnel have to rely on food

21 stamps and the Department of Defense will soon

22 begin providing supplementary food benefits to an

23 estimated 11,000 military personnel and dependents

24 living overseas.
7

•HR 7 IH

1 (8) Defense modernization programs to main2 tain the battlefield technology edge of the United

3 States over other nations are being delayed or can4 celed in an attempt to prevent the further erosion of

5 military force readiness.

6 (9) The centerpiece of the Administration’s de7 fense strategy, the Bottom Up Review, reduces Navy

8 ships by one-third, Air Force wings by almost one9 half, and funding for missile defenses by over 50

10 percent, and the General Accounting Office has re11 ported that even the restrictive Bottom Up Review

12 could be underfunded by $150,000,000,000.

13 (10) The Administration has initially agreed to

14 or proposed treaty limitations, or has unilaterally

15 adopted positions, that prohibit the United States

16 from testing or deploying effective missile defense

17 systems.

18 SEC. 102. POLICY.

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

21 States.

22 SEC. 103. PURPOSES.

23 The purposes of this Act are—
8

•HR 7 IH

1 (1) to establish a commission to reassess United

2 States military needs and reverse the continuing

3 downward spiral of defense spending;

5 the development and deployment of theater and na6 tional ballistic missile defense capabilities;

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

14 United Nations peacekeeping activities and to press

15 for reforms in the United Nations management

16 practices; and

14 ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANI15 ZATION

16 SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.

17 This title may be cited as the ‘‘NATO Revitalization

18 and Expansion Act of 1995’’.

19 SEC. 602. FINDINGS.

20 The Congress makes the following findings:

21 (1) Since 1948, the North Atlantic Treaty Or22 ganization (NATO) has helped to guarantee the se23 curity, freedom, and prosperity of the United States

24 and its partners in the alliance.
54

•HR 7 IH

1 (2) NATO has expanded its membership on

2 three different occasions since its founding in 1949.

3 (3) The steadfast and sustained commitment of

4 the member countries of NATO to mutual defense

5 against the threat of communist domination played

6 a significant role in precipitating the collapse of the

7 Iron Curtain and the demise of the Soviet Union.

8 (4) In the place of that threat, new security

9 threats are emerging to the shared interests of the

10 member countries of NATO.

11 (5) Although these new threats are more geo12 graphically and functionally diverse and less predict13 able, they still imperil shared interests of the United

14 States and its NATO allies.

15 (6) Western interests must be protected on a

16 cooperative basis without an undue burden falling

17 upon the United States.

18 (7) NATO is the only multilateral organization

19 that is capable of conducting effective military oper20 ations to protect Western interests.

21 (8) The valuable experience gained from ongo22 ing military cooperation within NATO was critical to

23 the success of joint military operations in the 1991

24 liberation of Kuwait.
55

•HR 7 IH

1 (9) NATO is an important diplomatic forum for

2 discussion of issues of concern to its member states

3 and for the peaceful resolution of disputes.

4 (10) Admission of Central and East European

5 countries that have recently been freed from Com6 munist domination to NATO could contribute to

7 international peace and enhance the security of

8 those countries.

9 (11) A number of countries, including the

10 Visegrad countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary,

11 Poland, and Slovakia), the Baltic states (Estonia,

12 Latvia, and Lithuania), and Ukraine, have expressed

13 interest in NATO membership.

14 (12) In recognition of this interest, the Partner15 ship for Peace proposal offers limited military co16 operation to many European countries not currently

17 members of NATO, but fails to establish bench18 marks or guidelines for eventual NATO membership.

19 (13) In particular, Poland, Hungary, the Czech

20 Republic, and Slovakia have made significant

21 progress toward establishing democratic institutions,

22 free market economies, civilian control of their

23 armed forces, police, and intelligence services, and

24 the rule of law since the fall of their previous Com25 munist governments.

•HR 7 IH

1 SEC. 603. UNITED STATES POLICY.

2 It should be the policy of the United States—

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

4 active leadership role in NATO;

5 (2) to join with the Nation’s NATO allies to re6 define the role of the alliance in the post-Cold War

7 world, taking into account—

8 (A) the fundamentally changed security en9 vironment of Central and Eastern Europe;

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

11 defensive nature of the alliance and the desire

12 of its members to work cooperatively with all

13 former adversaries;

14 (C) the emerging security threats posed by

15 the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and bio16 logical weapons of mass destruction and the

17 means to deliver them;

18 (D) the continuing challenges to the inter19 ests of all NATO member countries posed by

20 unstable and undemocratic regimes harboring

21 hostile intentions; and

22 (E) the dependence of the global economy

23 on a stable energy supply and the free flow of

24 commerce;

25 (3) to affirm that NATO military planning

26 should include joint military operations beyond the
57

•HR 7 IH

1 geographic bounds of the alliance under Article 4 of

2 the North Atlantic Treaty when the shared interests

3 of the United States and other member countries re4 quire such action to defend vital interests;

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

6 and Slovakia should be in a position to further the

7 principles of the North Atlantic Treaty and to con8 tribute to the security of the North Atlantic area not

9 later than January 10, 1999 (5 years from the date

10 of the establishment of the Partnership for Peace),

11 and, in accordance with Article 10 of such Treaty,

12 should be invited to become full NATO members not

13 later than that date, provided these countries—

3 security of the North Atlantic area;

4 (vii) commitment to accept the obliga5 tions, responsibilities, and costs of NATO

6 membership; and

7 (viii) commitment to implement infra8 structure development activities that will

9 facilitate participation in and support for

10 NATO military activities; and

11 (B) remain committed to protecting the

12 rights of all their citizens and respecting the

13 territorial integrity of their neighbors;

14 (5) that the United States, other NATO mem15 ber nations, and NATO itself should furnish appro16 priate assistance to facilitate the transition of Po17 land, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia to

18 full NATO membership not later than January 10,

19 1999; and

20 (6) that other European countries emerging

21 from communist domination, in particular the Baltic

22 states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) and

23 Ukraine, may be in a position at a future date to

24 further the principles of the North Atlantic Treaty
