    SEC. 314. REPORT ON CONTROL OF THE BROWN TREE SNAKE.
    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) The brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis), an invasive 
    species, is found in significant numbers on military installations 
    and in other areas on Guam, and constitutes a serious threat to the 
    ecology of Guam.
        (2) If introduced into Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
    Mariana Islands, or the continental United States, the brown tree 
    snake would pose an immediate and serious economic and ecological 
    threat.
        (3) The most probable vector for the introduction of the brown 
    tree snake into Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
    Islands, or the continental United States is the movement from Guam 
    of military aircraft, personnel, and cargo, including the household 
    goods of military personnel and other military assets.
        (4) It is probable that the movement of military aircraft, 
    personnel, and cargo, including the household goods of military 
    personnel, from Guam to Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
    Mariana Islands, or the continental United States will increase 
    significantly coincident with the increase in the number of 
    military units and personnel stationed on Guam.
        (5) Current policies, programs, procedures, and dedicated 
    resources of the Department of Defense and of other departments and 
    agencies of the United States may not be sufficient to adequately 
    address the management, control, and eradication of the brown tree 
    snake on Guam and the increasing threat of the introduction of the 
    brown tree snake from Guam into Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the 
    Northern Mariana Islands, the continental United States, or other 
    non-native environments.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees a report on the following:
        (1) The actions currently being taken (including the resources 
    being made available) by the Department of Defense to control, and 
    to develop new or existing techniques to control, the brown tree 
    snake on Guam and to prevent the introduction of the brown tree 
    snake into Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Island, 
    the continental United States, or any other non-native environment 
    as a result of the movement from Guam of military aircraft, 
    personnel, and cargo, including the household goods of military 
    personnel and other military assets. Such actions shall include any 
    actions taken by the Department of Defense to implement the 
    recommendations of the Brown Tree Snake Review Panel commissioned 
    by the Department of the Interior, as contained in the Review 
    Panel's final report entitled ``Review of Brown Tree Snake Problems 
    and Control Programs'' published in March 2005.
        (2) Current plans for enhanced future actions, policies, and 
    procedures and increased levels of resources in order to ensure 
    that the projected increase of military personnel stationed on Guam 
    does not increase the threat of introduction of the brown tree 
    snake from Guam into Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
    Mariana Islands, the continental United States, or other non-native 
    environments.
        (3) The results of management, control, and eradication carried 
    out by the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary 
    of the Interior, before the date on which the report is submitted 
    with respect to brown tree snakes through the integrated natural 
    resource management plans prepared for military installations in 
    Guam under the pilot program authorized by section 101(g) of the 
    Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670a(g)).

        (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (A) Notification and survey efforts related to the drinking 
        water contamination described in this section are necessary due 
        to the potential negative health impacts of these contaminants.
            (B) The Secretary of the Navy will not be able to identify 
        or contact all former residents and former employees due to the 
        condition, non-existence, or accessibility of records.
            (C) It is the intent of Congress that the Secretary of the 
        Navy contact as many former residents and former employees as 
        quickly as possible.

            shall develop a health survey that would voluntarily 
            request of individuals described in subsections (a), (b), 
            and (c) personal health information that may lead to 
            scientifically useful health information associated with 
            exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), PCE, vinyl chloride, 
            and the other contaminants identified in the ATSDR studies 
            that may provide a basis for further reliable scientific 
            studies of potentially adverse health impacts of exposure 
            to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
                (ii) Funding.--The Secretary of the Navy is authorized 
            to provide from available funds the necessary funding for 
            the ATSDR to develop the health survey.
            (B) Inclusion with notification.--The survey developed 
        under subparagraph (A) shall be distributed by the Secretary of 
        the Navy concurrently with the direct notification required 
        under subsections (a), (b), and (c).
    (e) Use of Media To Supplement Notification.--The Secretary of the 
Navy may use media notification as a supplement to direct notification 
of individuals described under subsections (a), (b), and (c). Media 
notification may reach those individuals not identifiable via remaining 
records. Once individuals respond to media notifications, the Secretary 
will add them to the contact list to be included in future information

    agency civilian employees and the cost of performance of the 
    function by one or more contractors to demonstrate whether

        received) for performance of the function by a contractor;

    civilian employees unless the difference in the cost of performance 
    of the function by a contractor compared to the cost of performance

medical or dental position that can be filled only by a member of the 
Armed Forces who is a health professional.
    (c) Report.--
        (1) Requirement.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
    congressional defense committees a report on conversions made

            (B) The results of a market survey in each affected area of 
        the availability of civilian medical and dental care providers 
        in such area in order to determine whether there were civilian 
        medical and dental care providers available in such area 
        adequate to fill the civilian positions created by the 
        conversion of military medical and dental positions to civilian 
        positions in such area.
            (C) An analysis, by affected area, showing the extent to 
        which access to health care and cost of health care was 
        affected in both the direct care and purchased care systems, 
        including an assessment of the effect of any increased shifts 
        in patient load from the direct care to the purchased care 
        system, or any delays in receipt of care in either the direct 
        or purchased care system because of the conversions.
            (D) The extent to which military medical and dental 
        positions converted to civilian medical or dental positions

        Department identifies.
            (F) An assessment showing that the military medical or 
        dental positions converted were in excess of the military 
        medical and dental positions needed to meet medical and dental 
        readiness requirements of the uniformed services, as determined 
        jointly by all the uniformed services.
    (d) Definitions.--In this section:

    SEC. 722. ESTABLISHMENT OF JOINT PATHOLOGY CENTER.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Secretary of Defense proposed to disestablish all 
    elements of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, except the 
    National Medical Museum and the Tissue Repository, as part of the 
    recommendations of the Secretary for the closure of Walter Reed 
    Army Medical Center in the 2005 round of defense base closure and 
    realignment.
        (2) The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission 
    altered, but did not reject, the proposal of the Secretary of 
    Defense to disestablish the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.
        (3) The Commission's recommendation that the Armed Forces 
    Institute of Pathology's ``capabilities not specified in this 
    recommendation will be absorbed into other DOD, Federal, or 
    civilian facilities'' provides the flexibility to retain a Joint 
    Pathology Center as a Department of Defense or Federal entity.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the Armed 
Forces Institute of Pathology has provided important medical benefits 
to the Armed Forces and to the United States and that the Federal 
Government should retain a Joint Pathology Center.
    (c) Establishment.--
        (1) Establishment required.--The President shall establish and 
    maintain a Joint Pathology Center that shall function as the 
    reference center in pathology for the Federal Government.
        (2) Establishment within dod.--Except as provided in paragraph 
    (3), the Joint Pathology Center shall be established in the 
    Department of Defense, consistent with the final recommendations of 
    the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, as 
    approved by the President.
        (3) Establishment in another department.--If the President 
    makes a determination, within 180 days after the date of the 
    enactment of this Act, that the Joint Pathology Center cannot be 
    established in the Department of Defense, the Joint Pathology 
    Center shall be established as an element of a Federal agency other 
    than the Department of Defense. The President shall incorporate the 
    selection of such agency into the determination made under this 
    paragraph.
    (d) Services.--The Joint Pathology Center shall provide, at a 
minimum, the following:
        (1) Diagnostic pathology consultation services in medicine, 
    dentistry, and veterinary sciences.
        (2) Pathology education, to include graduate medical education, 
    including residency and fellowship programs, and continuing medical 
    education.
        (3) Diagnostic pathology research.
        (4) Maintenance and continued modernization of the Tissue 
    Repository and, as appropriate, utilization of the Repository in 
    conducting the activities described in paragraphs (1) through (3).

    SEC. 922. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COMPLETION OF DESTRUCTION OF UNITED 
      STATES CHEMICAL WEAPONS STOCKPILE.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, 
    Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their 
    Destruction, done at Paris on January 13, 1993 (commonly referred 
    to as the ``Chemical Weapons Convention''), requires that 
    destruction of the entire United States chemical weapons stockpile 
    be completed by not later than April 29, 2007.
        (2) In 2006, under the terms of the Chemical Weapons 
    Convention, the United States requested and received a one-time, 5-
    year extension of its chemical weapons destruction deadline to 
    April 29, 2012.
        (3) On April 10, 2006, the Secretary of Defense notified 
    Congress that the United States would not meet even the extended 
    deadline under the Chemical Weapons Convention for destruction of 
    the United States chemical weapons stockpile, but would ``continue 
    working diligently to minimize the time to complete destruction 
    without sacrificing safety and security'' and would also ``continue 
    requesting resources needed to complete destruction as close to 
    April 2012 as practicable''.
        (4) The United States chemical demilitarization program has met 
    its one percent, 20 percent, and extended 45 percent destruction 
    deadlines under the Chemical Weapons Convention.
        (5) Destroying the remaining stockpile of United States 
    chemical weapons is imperative for public safety and homeland 
    security, and doing so by April 2012, in accordance with the 
    current destruction deadline provided under the Chemical Weapons 
    Convention, is required by United States law.
        (6) The elimination of chemical weapons anywhere they exist in 
    the world, and the prevention of their proliferation, is of utmost 
    importance to the national security of the United States.
        (7) Section 921(b)(3) of the John Warner National Defense 
    Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364; 120 
    Stat. 2359) contained a sense of Congress urging the Secretary of 
    Defense to ensure the elimination of the United States chemical 
    weapons stockpile in the shortest time possible, consistent with 
    the requirement to protect public health, safety, and the 
    environment.
        (8) Section 921(b)(4) of that Act contained a sense of Congress 
    urging the Secretary of Defense to propose a credible treatment and 
    disposal process with the support of affected communities. In this 
    regard, any such process should provide for sufficient 
    communication and consultation between representatives of the 
    Department of Defense and representatives of affected States and 
    communities.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the United States is, and must remain, committed to making 
    every effort to safely dispose of its entire chemical weapons 
    stockpile by April 2012, the current destruction deadline provided 
    under the Chemical Weapons Convention, or as soon thereafter as 
    possible, and must carry out all of its other obligations under the 
    Convention; and
        (2) the Secretary of Defense should make every effort to plan 
    for, and to request in the annual budget of the President submitted 
    to Congress adequate funding to complete, the elimination of the 
    United States chemical weapons stockpile in accordance with United 
    States obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and in a 
    manner that will protect public health, safety, and the 
    environment, as required by law.
    (c) Reports Required.--
        (1) In general.--Not later than March 15, 2008, and every 180

    Defense shall submit to the members and committees of Congress 
    referred to in paragraph (3) a report on the implementation by the 
    United States of its chemical weapons destruction obligations under 
    the Chemical Weapons Convention.

    enhances, or will enhance, the ability of the Department of 
    Defense--

    implementation plans for the reorganization, and the current status 
    of the implementation of all aspects of the reorganization.

    reorganization on the ability of the Assistant Secretary to carry 
    out the principal duties of the Assistant Secretary under law.

        ``(2) Except as provided for in paragraph (1), the total amount 
    in a calendar year of allowances, differentials, bonuses, awards,

    or under other comparable pay authority established for payment of 
    Department of Defense senior executive or equivalent employees may

    through 2012, the overall amount allocated for compensation of the 
    civilian employees of an organizational or functional unit of the

    Personnel System shall not be less than the amount that would have 
    been allocated for compensation of such employees for such fiscal 
    year if they had not been converted to the National Security

    circumstances that might impact pay levels.
        ``(6) Amounts allocated for compensation of civilian employees

    who receives a performance rating above unacceptable or who does 
    not have a current rating of record for the most recently completed

    comparability payments or other local market supplements payable to

        on a comprehensive political settlement based on the federalism 
        law approved by the Iraqi Parliament on October 11, 2006;

    quickly agree upon and implement a law providing for the equitable 
    distribution of oil revenues, which is a critical component of a

    settlement based upon federalism;

        (4) family support is integral to the rehabilitation and 
    community reintegration of veterans who have sustained a traumatic 
    brain injury, and the Department should provide the families of 
    such veterans with education and support;
        (5) the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans 
    Affairs have made efforts to provide a smooth transition of medical 
    care and rehabilitative services to individuals as they transition 
    from the health care system of the Department of Defense to that of 
    the Department of Veterans Affairs, but more can be done to assist

    the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide a system for life-
    long case management for such veterans; and
        (7) in such system for life-long case management, it is 
    necessary to conduct outreach and to tailor specialized traumatic 
    brain injury case management and outreach to the unique needs of 
    veterans with traumatic brain injury who reside in urban and non-
    urban settings.

SEC. 2828. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTIONS TO 
PROTECT INSTALLATIONS, RANGES, AND MILITARY AIRSPACE FROM ENCROACHMENT.
    (a) Findings.--In light of the initial report of the Department of 
Defense submitted pursuant to section 2684a(g) of title 10, United 
States Code, and of the RAND Corporation report entitled ``The Thin 
Green Line: An Assessment of DoD's Readiness and Environmental 
Protection Initiative to Buffer Installation Encroachment'', Congress 
makes the following findings:
        (1) Development and loss of habitat in the vicinity of, or in 
    areas ecologically related to, military installations, ranges, and 
    airspace pose a continuing and significant threat to the readiness 
    of the Armed Forces.
        (2) The Range Sustainability Program (RSP) of the Department of 
    Defense, and in particular the Readiness and Environmental 
    Protection Initiative (REPI) involving agreements pursuant to 
    section 2684a of title 10, United States Code, have been effective 
    in addressing this threat to readiness with regard to a number of 
    important installations, ranges, and airspace.
        (3) The opportunities to take effective action to protect 
    installations, ranges, and airspace from encroachment is in many 
    cases transient, and delay in taking action will result in either 
    higher costs or permanent loss of the opportunity effectively to 
    address encroachment.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Department of Defense should--
        (1) develop additional policy guidance on the further 
    implementation of the Readiness and Environmental Protection 
    Initiative (REPI), to include additional emphasis on protecting 
    biodiversity and on further refining procedures;
        (2) give greater emphasis to effective cooperation and 
    collaboration on matters of mutual concern with other Federal 
    agencies charged with managing Federal land; and
        (3) ensure that each military department takes full advantage 
    of the authorities provided by section 2684a of title 10, United 
    States Code, in addressing encroachment adversely affecting, or 
    threatening to adversely affect, the installations, ranges, and 
    military airspace of the department.
    (c) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall review 
Chapter 6 of the initial report submitted to Congress under section 
2684a(g) of title 10, United States Code, and report to the 
congressional defense committees on the specific steps, if any, that 
the Secretary plans to take, or recommends that Congress take, to 
address the issues raised in such chapter.

    planning, and maintenance of the regional disaster response center, 
    if established at Kelly Air Field, during a time of disaster 
    recovery.
        (3) A determination of the number of military and civilian 
    personnel who would be required to run the logistics, planning, and

SEC. 3132. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE PREVENTION OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM.
    It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the President should make the prevention of a nuclear 
    terrorist attack on the United States a high priority;
        (2) the President should accelerate programs, requesting 
    additional funding as appropriate, to prevent nuclear terrorism, 
    including combating nuclear smuggling, securing and accounting for 
    nuclear weapons, and eliminating, removing, or securing and 
    accounting for formula quantities of strategic special nuclear 
    material wherever such quantities may be;
        (3) the United States, together with the international 
    community, should take a comprehensive approach to reducing the 
    danger of nuclear terrorism, including by making additional efforts 
    to identify and eliminate terrorist groups that aim to acquire 
    nuclear weapons, to ensure that nuclear weapons worldwide are 
    secure and accounted for and that formula quantities of strategic 
    special nuclear material worldwide are eliminated, removed, or 
    secure and accounted for to a degree sufficient to defeat the 
    threat that terrorists and criminals have shown they can pose, and 
    to increase the ability to find and stop terrorist efforts to 
    manufacture nuclear explosives or to transport nuclear explosives 
    and materials anywhere in the world;
        (4) within such a comprehensive approach, a high priority must 
    be placed on ensuring that all nuclear weapons worldwide are secure 
    and accounted for and that all formula quantities of strategic 
    special nuclear material worldwide are eliminated, removed, or 
    secure and accounted for; and
        (5) the International Atomic Energy Agency should be funded 
    appropriately to fulfill its role in coordinating international 
    efforts to protect nuclear material and to combat nuclear 
    smuggling.
SEC. 3133. MINIMUM SECURITY STANDARD FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND FORMULA 
QUANTITIES OF STRATEGIC SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL.
    (a) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to work with the 
international community to take all possible steps to ensure that all 
nuclear weapons around the world are secure and accounted for and that 
all formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material are 
eliminated, removed, or secure and accounted for to a level sufficient 
to defeat the threats posed by terrorists and criminals.
    (b) International Nuclear Security Standard.--It is the sense of 
Congress that, in furtherance of the policy described in subsection 
(a), and consistent with the requirement for ``appropriate effective'' 
physical protection contained in United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 1540 (2004), as well as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 
and the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, the 
President, in consultation with relevant Federal departments and 
agencies, should seek the broadest possible international agreement on 
a global standard for nuclear security that--
        (1) ensures that nuclear weapons and formula quantities of 
    strategic special nuclear material are secure and accounted for to 
    a sufficient level to defeat the threats posed by terrorists and 
    criminals;
        (2) takes into account the limitations of equipment and human 
    performance; and
        (3) includes steps to provide confidence that the needed 
    measures have in fact been implemented.
    (c) International Efforts.--It is the sense of Congress that, in 
furtherance of the policy described in subsection (a), the President, 
in consultation with relevant Federal departments and agencies, 
should--
        (1) work with other countries and the International Atomic 
    Energy Agency to assist as appropriate, and if necessary work to 
    convince, the governments of any and all countries in possession of 
    nuclear weapons or formula quantities of strategic special nuclear 
    material to ensure that security is upgraded to meet the standard 
    described in subsection (b) as rapidly as possible and in a manner 
    that--
            (A) accounts for the nature of the terrorist and criminal 
        threat in each such country; and
            (B) ensures that any measures to which the United States 
        and any such country agree are sustained after United States 
        and other international assistance ends;
        (2) ensure that United States financial and technical 
    assistance is available, as appropriate, to countries for which the 
    provision of such assistance would accelerate the implementation 
    of, or improve the effectiveness of, such security upgrades; and
        (3) work with the governments of other countries to ensure that 
    effective nuclear security rules, accompanied by effective 
    regulation and enforcement, are put in place to govern all nuclear 
    weapons and formula quantities of strategic special nuclear 
    material around the world.
SEC. 3134. ANNUAL REPORT.
    (a) In General.--Not later than September 1 of each year through 
2012, the President, in consultation with relevant Federal departments 
and agencies, shall submit to Congress a report on the security of 
nuclear weapons and related equipment and formula quantities of 
strategic special nuclear material outside of the United States.

        the highest priority for security and accounting of nuclear 
        weapons and related equipment, or the elimination, removal, or 
        security and accounting of formula quantities of strategic 
        special nuclear material, taking into account risk of theft 
        from such facilities and sites, and organized by level of 
        priority.
            (C) A prioritized plan, including measurable milestones, 
        metrics, estimated timetables, and estimated costs of 
        implementation, on the following:

            related equipment and the elimination, removal, or security 
            and accounting of formula quantities of strategic special 
            nuclear material at such facilities and sites worldwide.
                (ii) Ensuring that security upgrades and accounting 
            reforms implemented at such facilities and sites worldwide, 
            using the financial and technical assistance of the United 
            States, are effectively sustained after such assistance 
            ends.
                (iii) The role that international agencies and the 
            international community have committed to play, together

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The maritime loan guarantee program was established by the 
    Congress through the Merchant Marine Act, 1936 to encourage 
    domestic shipbuilding by making available federally backed loan 
    guarantees for new construction to ship owners and operators.
        (2) The maritime loan guarantee program has a long and 
    successful history of ship construction with a low historical 
    default rate.
        (3) The current process for review of applications for maritime 
    loans in the Department of Transportation has effectively 
    discontinued the program as envisioned by the Congress.
        (4) The President has requested no funding for the loan 
    guarantee program despite the stated national policy to foster the 
    development and encourage the maintenance of a merchant marine in 
    section 50101 of title 46, United States Code.
        (5) United States commercial shipyards were placed at a 
    competitive disadvantage in the world shipbuilding market by 
    government subsidized foreign commercial shipyards.
        (6) The maritime loan guarantee program has the potential to 
    modernize shipyards and the ships of the United States coastwise 
    trade and restore a competitive position in the world shipbuilding 
    market for United States shipyards.
        (7) The maritime loan guarantee program is a useful tool to 
    encourage domestic shipbuilding, preserving a vital industrial 
    capacity critical to the security of the United States.
    (b) Requirements.--
        (1) In general.--Within 180 days after the date of enactment of 
    this Act, the Administrator of the Maritime Administration shall

        review of a traditional loan application, the application shall 
        be either accepted or rejected.
            (B) Nontraditional applications.--In the comprehensive plan 
        the Administrator will ensure that within the 180-day period 
        following receipt of all pertinent documentation required for 
        review of a nontraditional loan application, the application 
        shall be either accepted or rejected.
    (c) Submission to Congress.--The Administrator shall submit a copy 
of the comprehensive plan to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives within 180 days after the date of enactment of

    application'' means an application for a loan, guarantee, or 
    commitment to guarantee submitted pursuant to chapter 537 of title 
    46, United States Code, that involves a market, technology, and 
    financial structure of a type that has proven successful in 
    previous applications and does not present an unreasonable risk to 
    the United States, as determined by the Administrator of the 
    Maritime Administration.
        (2) Nontraditional application.--The term ``nontraditional 
    application'' means an application for a loan, guarantee, or 
    commitment to guarantee submitted pursuant to chapter 537 of title
