2004 (Public Law 108-136; 117 Stat. 1444; 10 U.S.C. 2461 note).

SEC. 324. PUBLIC-PRIVATE COMPETITION PILOT PROGRAM.

    (a) Purpose.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a pilot 
program to examine the use of the public-private competition process of 
Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 on new requirements, as 
defined by such Circular, and functions currently being performed by 
contractors that could be performed by civilian employees.
    (b) Duration.--The Secretary of Defense shall carry out the pilot 
program during fiscal years 2005 and 2006.
    (c) Requirement for Public-Private Competition for New Work.--(1) 
By the end of the pilot project, the Secretary of Defense shall have 
allowed civilian employees to compete through the standard competition 
process of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 for new 
requirements, as defined by such Circular, that are approximately one-
tenth in value of the funds spent by the Department of Defense during 
the two fiscal years of the pilot project on all functions that are 
considered new requirements, as defined by such Circular.
    (2) The Department of Defense shall not receive credit towards 
compliance with the pilot program for subjecting to public-private 
competition--
            (A) any contract to be awarded to small business concerns 
        that meet the requirements under section 3(a) of the Small 
        Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)) and regulations under that 
        section;
            (B) any contract to be performed by contractor employees 
        who are represented by a private sector labor union; or
            (C) any contract related to special studies and analyses, 
        construction services, architectural services, medical 
        services, scientific and technical services related to (but not 
        in support of) research and development, and depot-level 
        maintenance and repair services.
    (d) Functions Performed by Contractors.--(1) By the end of the 
pilot project, the Secretary of Defense shall have subjected a number 
of contractor employees to public-private competition through the 
standard competition process of Office of Management and Budget 
Circular A-76 that is approximately one-tenth of the number of civilian 
employees subject to public-private competition during the two fiscal 
years of the pilot project.
    (2) The Department of Defense shall, to the extent possible, 
subject to public-private competition those positions held by 
contractor employees that are associated with functions that are or 
have been performed at least in part by Federal employees at any time 
on or after October 1, 1980; and
    (3) Subsection (c)(2) shall also apply to this subsection.
    (e) Waiver.--The implementation of the pilot project may be waived 
if--
            (1) the written waiver is prepared by the Secretary of 
        Defense;
            (2) the written waiver is accompanied by a detailed 
        determination that national security interests are so 
        compelling as to preclude compliance with the competition 
        requirement; and
            (3) a copy of the waiver is published in the Federal 
        Register within 10 working days after the date on which the 
        waiver is invoked, although use of the waiver need not be 
        delayed until its publication.
    (f) Report.--At the end of each fiscal year of the pilot program, 
the Inspector General of the Department of Defense shall submit to 
Congress a report on the results of the pilot program, including the 
extent to which the Department of Defense complied with the 
requirements of this section.

SEC. 325. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EQUITABLE LEGAL STANDING FOR CIVILIAN 
              EMPLOYEES.

    It is the sense of Congress that, in order to ensure that, when 
public-private competitions are held, they are conducted as fairly, 
effectively, and efficiently as possible, competing parties, both 
Department of Defense civilian employees (or their representatives) and 
contractors (or their representatives) should receive comparable 
treatment throughout the competition regarding access to relevant 
information and legal standing to challenge the way a competition has 
been conducted at all appropriate forums, including the General 
Accounting Office and the United States Court of Federal Claims.

SEC. 326. COMPETITIVE SOURCING REPORTING REQUIREMENT.

    (a) Report Required.--Not later than February 1, 2005, the 
Inspector General of the Department of Defense shall submit to Congress

            (1) employs a sufficient number of adequately trained 
        civilian employees to conduct satisfactorily, taking into 
        account equity, efficiency and expeditiousness, all of the 
        public-private competitions that are scheduled to be undertaken 
        by the Department of Defense during the next fiscal year 
        (including a sufficient number of employees to formulate 
        satisfactorily the performance work statements and most 
        efficient organization plans for the purposes of such 
        competitions) and to administer any resulting contracts; and
            (2) has implemented a comprehensive and reliable system to 
        track and assess the cost and quality of the performance of 
        functions of the Department of Defense by service contractors, 
        to update the records of such costs and the assessments each 
        fiscal quarter, and to make such information available in 
        reports to Congress and the public, including through the use 
        of electronic means, except that proprietary information and 
        information to which section 552(b)(1) of title 5, United 
        States Code, applies shall be excised from information 
        published or reports made available.
    (b) Elements of Tracking System.--The system of the Department of 
Defense for tracking cost and quality of performance of a function 
under a service contract shall include at least the following data 
elements:
            (1) The contract number and the applicable Federal supply 
        class or service code.
            (2) The name, business address, and business telephone of 
        the agency official who supervises the service contract.
            (3) The statutory, regulatory, or other authority for 
        entering into the service contract and, if a public-private 
        competition was not used in the determination of whether to 
        provide for performance of the activity or function by a 
        contractor, an explanation of the reasons for not doing so.
            (4) The cost to the Department of Defense of conducting the 
        public-private competition under Office of Management and 
        Budget Circular A-76, if one was undertaken, including the cost 
        of consultants as well as civilian employees.
            (5) In the case of a function formerly performed by 
        civilian employees, the actual cost of the performance by such 
        employees.
            (6) The cost to the Department of Defense of civilian 
        employee performance of the function under the most efficient 
        organization plan.
            (7) The anticipated cost of contractor performance, based 
        on the award.
            (8) The cost to the Department of Defense for performance

        performance (including the applicable quality control standards 
        and the frequency of the quality control reports), together 
        with an assessment of whether the contractor achieved, 
        exceeded, or failed to achieve the quality control standards.
    (c) Assessment of Tracking System.--The Inspector General of the 
Department of Defense shall include in the report required by 
subsection (a) an assessment of the comprehensiveness and reliability 
of the Department of Defense system for tracking cost and quality of 
performance of a function under a service contract, including 
compliance with each of the requirements specified in subsection (b). 
The Inspector General shall base the assessment on an audit of a 
representative sample of service contracts. The report shall also 
include recommendations by the Inspector General regarding how 
weaknesses identified in the Department of Defense infrastructure for 
competitive sourcing can be rectified, whether through the use of 
different processes or the availability of additional employees, 
additional training, or additional resources.

SEC. 354. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON AMERICA'S NATIONAL WORLD WAR I MUSEUM.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The Liberty Memorial Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, 
        was built in 1926 in honor of those individuals who served in 
        World War I in defense of liberty and the Nation.
            (2) The Liberty Memorial Association, a nonprofit 
        organization which originally built the Liberty Memorial 
        Museum, is responsible for the finances, operations, and 
        collections management of the Liberty Memorial Museum.
            (3) The Liberty Memorial Museum is the only public museum 
        in the Nation that exists for the exclusive purpose of 
        interpreting the experiences of the United States and its 
        allies in the World War I years (1914-1918), both on the 
        battlefield and on the home front.
            (4) The Liberty Memorial Museum project began after the 
        1918 Armistice through the efforts of a large-scale, grass-
        roots civic and fundraising effort by the citizens and veterans 
        of the Kansas City metropolitan area. After the conclusion of a 
        national architectural design competition, ground was broken in 
        1921, construction began in 1923, and the Liberty Memorial 
        Museum was opened to the public in 1926.
            (5) In 1994, the Liberty Memorial Museum closed for a 
        massive restoration and expansion project. The restored museum 
        reopened to the public on Memorial Day, 2002, during a gala 
        rededication ceremony.
            (6) Exhibits prepared for the original museum buildings 
        presaged the dramatic, underground expansion of core exhibition 
        gallery space, with over 30,000 square feet of new interpretive 
        and educational exhibits currently in development. The new 
        exhibits, along with an expanded research library and archives, 
        will more fully utilize the many thousands of historical 
        objects, books, maps, posters, photographs, diaries, letters, 
        and reminiscences of World War I participants that are 
        preserved for posterity in the Liberty Memorial Museum's 
        collections. The new core exhibition is scheduled to open on 
        Veterans Day, 2006.
            (7) The City of Kansas City, the State of Missouri, and 
        thousands of private donors and philanthropic foundations have 
        contributed millions of dollars to build and later to restore 
        this national treasure. The Liberty Memorial Museum continues 
        to receive the strong support of residents from the States of 
        Missouri and Kansas and across the Nation.
            (8) Since the restoration and rededication of 2002, the 
        Liberty Memorial Museum has attracted thousands of visitors 
        from across the United States and many foreign countries.
            (9) There remains a need to preserve in a museum setting 
        evidence of the honor, courage, patriotism, and sacrifice of 
        those Americans who offered their services and who gave their 
        lives in defense of liberty during World War I, evidence of the 
        roles of women and African Americans during World War I, and 
        evidence of other relevant subjects.
            (10) The Liberty Memorial Museum seeks to educate a diverse 
        group of audiences through its comprehensive collection of 
        historical materials, emphasizing eyewitness accounts of the 
        participants on the battlefield and the home front and the 
        impact of World War I on individuals, then and now. The Liberty 
        Memorial Museum continues to actively acquire and preserve such 
        materials.
            (11) A great opportunity exists to use the invaluable 
        resources of the Liberty Memorial Museum to teach the ``Lessons 
        of Liberty'' to the Nation's schoolchildren through on-site 
        visits, classroom curriculum development, distance learning, 
        and other educational initiatives.
            (12) The Liberty Memorial Museum should always be the 
        Nation's museum of the national experience in the World War I 
        years (1914-1918), where people go to learn about this critical 
        period and where the Nation's history of this monumental 
        struggle will be preserved so that generations of the 21st 
        century may understand the role played by the United States in 
        the preservation and advancement of democracy, freedom, and 
        liberty in the early 20th century.
            (13) This initiative to recognize and preserve the history 
        of the Nation's sacrifices in World War I will take on added 
        significance as the Nation approaches the centennial observance 
        of this event.
            (14) It is fitting and proper to refer to the Liberty 
        Memorial Museum as ``America's National World War I Museum''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Congress--
            (1) recognizes the Liberty Memorial Museum in Kansas City, 
        Missouri, including the museum's future and expanded exhibits, 
        collections, library, archives, and educational programs, as 
        ``America's National World War I Museum'';
            (2) recognizes that the continuing collection, 
        preservation, and interpretation of the historical objects and 
        other historical materials held by the Liberty Memorial Museum 
        enhance the knowledge and understanding of the Nation's people 
        of the American and allied experience during the World War I 
        years (1914-1918), both on the battlefield and on the home 
        front;
            (3) commends the ongoing development and visibility of 
        ``Lessons of Liberty'' educational outreach programs for 
        teachers and students throughout the Nation; and
            (4) encourages the need for present generations to 
        understand the magnitude of World War I, how it shaped the 
        Nation, other countries, and later world events, and how the 
        sacrifices made then helped preserve liberty, democracy, and 
        other founding principles for generations to come.

bonus under this section to a member of the uniformed services who--
            ``(1) is qualified in a uniformed services specialty 
        requiring proficiency in a foreign language identified by the 
        Secretary concerned as a foreign language in which it is 
        necessary to have personnel proficient because of national 
        defense or public health considerations;

        the Secretary concerned, designed to develop a proficiency in 
        such a foreign language;
            ``(3) is assigned to duties requiring a proficiency in such 
        a foreign language; or
            ``(4) is proficient in a foreign language for which the 
        uniformed service may have a critical need, as determined by 
        the Secretary concerned.
    ``(b) Certification of Proficiency.--Except as provided in 
subsection (e), for a member described in subsection (a) to be eligible 
to receive or retain a bonus under this section, the Secretary 
concerned shall certify the member as being proficient in the foreign 
language for which bonus is offered.

(e), the certification of a member as being proficient in a foreign 
language for purposes of receipt of a bonus under this section shall

Secretary concerned may waive the certification requirement under 
subsection (b) and pay a bonus under this section to a member described 
in subsection (a) who was previously certified in a foreign language,

        unable to schedule or complete the certification required by 
        subsection (b) because of that assignment.

to a member under the authority of this subsection, the Secretary 
concerned shall treat the date on which the member was assigned to duty 
in connection with the contingency operation as equivalent to a 
certification date. In the case of a member whose certification expires 
during such duty assignment, the Secretary shall commence the next 12-
month period effective as of the date on which the prior certification 
period expired.

subsection shall complete the certification required by subsection (b)

operation. The Secretary concerned may extend that period for a member 
in accordance with regulations prescribed under subsection (h). If the

authorized period, the Secretary concerned may require the member to 
repay all or a portion of the bonus, in the manner provided in 
subsection (g).

a member who receives a bonus under this section, but who does not 
satisfy an eligibility requirement specified in subsection (a) for the 
entire certification period, to repay to the United States an amount 
which bears the same ratio to the total amount of the bonus paid to the 
member as the unsatisfied portion of the certification period bears to 
the entire certification period.
    ``(2) An obligation to repay the United States imposed under 
paragraph (1) is for all purposes a debt owed to the United States. A 
discharge in bankruptcy under title 11 that is entered for the member 
less than five years after the expiration of the certification period 
does not discharge the member from a debt arising under this paragraph. 
This paragraph applies to any case commenced under title 11 after the 
date of the enactment of this section.
    ``(h) Regulations.--This section shall be administered under 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense for the armed forces 
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary, by the Secretary of Homeland 
Security for the Coast Guard when the Coast Guard is not operating as a

                election under paragraph (1) by reason of eligibility 
                under paragraph (3)(B) shall be treated for all 
                purposes as providing a reserve-component annuity under

    (b) Election to Increase Coverage Under SBP.--A person who on the 
day before the first day of the open enrollment period is a participant 
in the Survivor Benefit Plan but is not participating at the maximum 
base amount or is providing coverage under the Plan for a dependent 
child and not for the person's spouse or former spouse may, during the 
open enrollment period, elect to--
            (1) participate in the Plan at a higher base amount (not in 
        excess of the participant's retired pay); or
            (2) provide annuity coverage under the Plan for the 
        person's spouse or former spouse at a base amount not less than 
        the base amount provided for the dependent child.
    (c) Election for Current SBP Participants to Participate in 
Supplemental SBP.--
            (1) Election.--A person who is eligible to make an election

        established under subchapter III of chapter 73 of title 10, 
        United States Code.
            (2) Persons eligible.--Except as provided in paragraph (3), 
        a person is eligible to make an election under paragraph (1) if 
        on the day before the first day of the open enrollment period 
        the person is a participant in the Survivor Benefit Plan at the 
        maximum level, or during the open enrollment period the person 
        increases the level of such participation to the maximum level 
        under subsection (b) of this section, and under that Plan is 
        providing annuity coverage for the person's spouse or a former 
        spouse.
            (3) Limitation on eligibility for certain sbp participants 
        not affected by two-tier annuity computation.--A person is not 
        eligible to make an election under paragraph (1) if (as 
        determined by the Secretary concerned) the annuity of a spouse 
        or former spouse beneficiary of that person under the Survivor 
        Benefit Plan will be computed under section 1451(e) of title 
        10, United States Code. However, such a person may during the 
        open enrollment period waive the right to have that annuity 
        computed under such section. Any such election is irrevocable. 
        A person making such a waiver may make an election under 
        paragraph (1) as in the case of any other participant in the 
        Survivor Benefit Plan.
    (d) Manner of Making Elections.--An election under this section 
must be made in writing, signed by the person making the election, and 
received by the Secretary concerned before the end of the open 
enrollment period. Any such election shall be made subject to the same 
conditions, and with the same opportunities for designation of 
beneficiaries and specification of base amount, that apply under the 
Survivor Benefit Plan or the Supplemental Survivor Benefit Plan, as the 
case may be. A person making an election under subsection (a) to 
provide a reserve-component annuity shall make a designation described 
in section 1448(e) of title 10, United States Code.
    (e) Effective Date for Elections.--Any such election shall be 
effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the 
month in which the election is received by the Secretary concerned.
    (f) Open Enrollment Period Defined.--The open enrollment period is 
the two-year period beginning on October 1, 2005.
    (g) Effect of Death of Person Making Election Within Two Years of 
Making Election.--If a person making an election under this section 
dies before the end of the two-year period beginning on the effective 
date of the election, the election is void and the amount of any 
reduction in retired pay of the person that is attributable to the 
election shall be paid in a lump sum to the person who would have been 
the deceased person's beneficiary under the voided election if the 
deceased person had died after the end of such two-year period.
    (h) Applicability of Certain Provisions of Law.--The provisions of 
sections 1449, 1453, and 1454 of title 10, United States Code, are 
applicable to a person making an election, and to an election, under 
this section in the same manner as if the election were made under the 
Survivor Benefit Plan or the Supplemental Survivor Benefit Plan, as the 
case may be.
    (i) Additional Premium.--The Secretary of Defense may require that 
the premium for a person making an election under subsection (a)(1) or 
(b) include, in addition to the amount required under section 1452(a) 
of title 10, United States Code, an amount determined under regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense for the purposes of this 
subsection. Any such amount shall be stated as a percentage of the base 
amount of the person making the election and shall reflect the number 
of years that have elapsed since the person retired, but may not exceed 
4.5 percent of that person's base amount.
    (j) Report Concerning Open Season.--Not later than July 1, 2005, 
the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House 
of Representatives a report on the open season authorized by this

following:
            (1) A description of the Secretary's plans for 
        implementation of the open season.
            (2) The Secretary's estimates of the costs associated with 
        the open season, including any anticipated effect of the open 
        season on the actuarial status of the Department of Defense 
        Military Retirement Fund.
            (3) Any recommendation by the Secretary for further 
        legislative action.

    ``(a) Existence of System.--The Secretary of the Defense shall

world-wide system of commissary stores that sell, at reduced prices, 
food and other merchandise consistent with societal norms for product 
selection in commercial large-scale grocery stores in the United States 
to members of the uniformed services on active duty, members of the 
uniformed services entitled to retired pay, dependents of such members, 
and patrons authorized to use the system under chapter 54 of this 
title.
    ``(b) Purpose of System.--The purpose of the defense commissary 
system is to enhance the quality of life of members of the uniformed 
services, retired members, dependents of such members, and other 
authorized patrons and to provide such members with an additional 
nonmonetary compensation in recognition of their service to the United 
States.

the Secretary of Defense shall take into consideration the number of 
all authorized patrons of the defense commissary system who are likely 
to use the store.

close a commissary store, the effect of the closure on the quality of 
life of members of the uniformed services and their dependents using 
the store and on the welfare and security of the military community in 
which the commissary is located shall be the primary consideration. In 
all cases, the quality of life for military patrons shall take priority 
over any consideration of economic criteria relative to store financial 
performance.
    ``(2) The Secretary of Defense shall give the quality of life for 
members of a reserve component the same priority as the quality of life 
for active duty members whenever assessing whether to close a 
commissary store, including when the assessment is undertaken as a 
result of the closure or realignment of a military installation under a 
base closure law.
    ``(d) Congressional Notification.--The closure of a commissary 
store shall not take effect until the end of the 90-day period 
beginning on the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to 
Congress written notice of the reasons supporting the closure. The 
written notice shall include an assessment of the impact closure will 
have on the quality of life for military patrons and the welfare and 
security of the military community in which the commissary is 
located.'';

           Subtitle C--Planning, Programming, and Management

 SEC. 721. PILOT PROGRAM FOR TRANSFORMATION OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY.

     (a) Findings.--(1) Congress finds the following:
            (A) Historically, providing military health care to 
        military beneficiaries has centered on building a military 
        medical treatment facility and providing a full range of 
        services on a military installation.
            (B) Traditionally, in many locations the majority of 
        military personnel and their dependents who are eligible 
        beneficiaries of the military health care system do not live on 
        military installations.
            (C) As the cost of repairing, replacing, recapitalizing, or 
        expanding aging military treatment facilities and maintaining 
        adequate health care services on military installations 
        increases, the Department of Defense will be challenged to find 
        new, more cost-effective ways of providing enhanced health care 
        for military and civilian beneficiaries of the Department of 
        Defense health care system.
    (2) In view of these findings, the Secretary of Defense is directed 
to examine feasible and cost-effective methods for leveraging and 
expanding non-military health care resources to provide health care to 
military beneficiaries. Furthermore, the Secretary of Defense shall 
conduct a pilot program in accordance with this section.
    (b) Pilot Program Purposes.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct 
a pilot program at one or more military installations for purposes of 
testing--
            (1) the feasibility and cost effectiveness of expanding use 
        of non-military health care resources, particularly in cases in 
        which such use would reduce or eliminate the need for military 
        medical construction projects;
            (2) initiatives that build cooperative health care 
        arrangements and agreements between military installations and 
        local and regional non-military health care systems; and
            (3) development of an integrated, long range business plan 
        for the delivery of health care services for military 
        beneficiaries, incorporating present and potential future 
        capabilities in the non-military health care sector.
    (c) Requirements of Pilot Program.--In conducting the pilot 
program, the Secretary of Defense shall--
            (1) identify and analyze health care delivery options that 
        range from outsourcing all health care delivery services to the 
        private sector to providing some health care services in 
        military facilities located on the installation;
            (2) determine the cost avoidance or savings resulting from 
        innovative partnerships between the Department of Defense and 
        the private sector and limiting recapitalization costs in 
        military facilities;
            (3) study the potential, viability, cost efficiency, and 
        health care effectiveness of Department of Defense health care 
        providers delivering health care in civilian community 
        hospitals;
            (4) determine the opportunities for and barriers to 
        coordinating and leveraging the use of existing health care 
        resources, including Federal, State, local, and contractor 
        assets; and
            (5) develop recommendations for a model health care 
        delivery system that may be used at other military 
        installations.
    (d) Consultation Requirements.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
develop the pilot program in consultation with the Secretaries of the 
military departments, representatives from the military installation 
selected for the pilot program, Federal, State, and local entities, and 
the TRICARE managed care support contractor with responsibility for 
that installation.
    (e) Selection of Military Installation.--The pilot program shall be 
implemented at one or more military installations selected by the 
Secretary of Defense. At least one of the selected military 
installations shall meet the following criteria:
            (1) The military installation is an Army installation 
        located in a rural area.
            (2) The military installation has members of the Armed 
        Forces on active duty and members of reserve components of the 
        Armed Forces that use the installation as a training and 
        operational base, with members routinely deploying in support 
        of the global war on terrorism.
            (3) The number of members of the Armed Forces on active 
        duty permanently assigned to the military installation is 
        expected to increase over the next five years.
            (4) One or more partnerships exist at the military 
        installation with civilian health care entities in the form of 
        limited specialty care services in the military medical 
        treatment facility on the installation.
            (5) There is a military treatment facility on the 
        installation that does not have inpatient or trauma center care 
        capabilities.
            (6) There is a civilian community hospital within 15 miles 
        of the military installation with limited capability to expand 
        inpatient care beds, intensive care, and specialty services.
            (7) There is no civilian hospital with a trauma center 
        within 50 miles from the military installation.
    (f) Duration of Pilot Program.--Implementation of the pilot program 
developed under this subsection shall begin not later than May 1, 2005, 
and shall be conducted during fiscal years 2005, 2006, and 2007.
    (g) Funds.--For fiscal year 2005, not more than $5,000,000 of the 
amount appropriated pursuant to the authorization for operations and 
maintenance for the Defense Health Program in section 303(a) may be 
used to conduct the pilot program under this section.
    (h) Reports.--Not later than July 1, 2005, the Secretary of Defense 
shall submit an interim report to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and of the House of Representatives describing the details 
of the pilot program. Not later than July 1, 2007, the Secretary of 
Defense shall submit to such committees a final report describing the 
results of the pilot program with recommendations for a model health 
care delivery system for other military installations.

SEC. 722. STUDY OF PROVISION OF TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT TO HOSPITALS FOR 
              CERTAIN MILITARY DISABILITY RETIREES.

    (a) Study.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a study of the 
feasibility, and of the desirability, of providing that a member of the 
uniformed services retired under chapter 61 of title 10, United States 
Code, for a combat-related disability (as defined in section 1413a(e) 
of that title) shall be provided reimbursement for the travel expenses 
of such member for travel, during the two-year period beginning on the 
date of the retirement of the member, to a military treatment facility 
for medical care. The Secretary shall include in that study 
consideration of whether reimbursement under such a plan should, as 
nearly as practicable, be under the same terms and conditions, and at 
the same rate, as apply to beneficiary travel reimbursement provided by 
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs under section 111 of title 38, United 
States Code.
    (b) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees a report providing the results of the 
study under subsection (a). Such report shall be submitted not later 
than March 1, 2005.

known as a sustainment and modernization plan) for the existing system 
that the system under development is intended to replace. Any such 
sustainment and modernization plan shall provide for budgeting,

        following:
                    ``(A) A sustainment plan and budget requirements

                existing system at acceptable reliability and 
                availability rates.

                        majority of responsibility for the mission of 
                        the existing system.
    ``(c) Annual Review.--Each fiscal year, before the submission to 
Congress of the President's budget for the next fiscal year, the 
Secretary of Defense shall review the schedule performance of each 
replacement major defense acquisition program for which a sustainment 
and modernization plan has been developed under this section to compare 
that performance with the schedule set forth under subsection (b)(1).

        interoperability, and force protection requirements are 
        maintained.
    ``(e) Waiver.--The Secretary of Defense may waive the applicability 
of subsection (a) to a major defense acquisition program if the 
Secretary determines that, but for such a waiver, the Department would

shall submit notice of such waiver and of the Secretary's determination 
and the reasons therefor in writing to the congressional defense 
committees.''.

  Subtitle C--Initiatives Relating to Countries of Former Soviet Union

SEC. 1421. SILK ROAD INITIATIVE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A number of independent states of the former Soviet 
        Union have been helpful to the United States in the war on 
        terrorism.
            (2) Such states are new and struggling democracies and 
        would benefit considerably from assistance to create 
        sustainable jobs for their underemployed or unemployed 
        scientists, engineers, and technicians who were formerly 
        engaged in activities to develop and produce weapons of mass 
        destruction for the Russian Federation or other such state.
    (b) Policies.--(1) It is the policy of the United States to seek to 
establish and promote programs to prevent the proliferation, from 
scientists, engineers, and technicians of the Russian Federation and 
other independent states of the former Soviet Union to countries of 
proliferation concern, of expertise to develop and produce weapons of 
mass destruction.
    (2) It is also the policy of the United States to seek to assist 
independent states of the former Soviet Union that have been helpful to 
the United States in the war on terrorism so as to promote the creation 
of jobs that foster economic stability and democracy.
    (c) Program Authorized.--(1) The Secretary of Energy may carry out 
a program, to be known as the Silk Road Initiative, to promote non-
weapons-related employment opportunities in the United States and in 
Silk Road nations for scientists, engineers, and technicians formerly 
engaged in activities to develop and produce weapons of mass 
destruction in Silk Road nations. The program should--

SEC. 1423. COLLABORATION TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF A LAUNCH OF RUSSIAN 
              NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that, despite the ending of the Cold 
War more than a decade ago, the nuclear postures and strategic command 
and control systems of the Russian Federation pose risks that a nuclear 
ballistic missile could be launched as the result of an accident, 
misinformation, miscalculation, or unauthorized use. Such risks are 
posed as a result of factors including the following:
            (1) The high state of readiness of the Russian Federation's 
        nuclear forces.
            (2) The remote locations of much of the Russian 
        Federation's nuclear forces.
            (3) The inadequacy of the Russian Federation's early-
        warning information.
            (4) The very short time that would be available to the 
        President of the Russian Federation if the President were 
        informed that a nuclear ballistic missile attack was or might 
        be underway.
            (5) The possibility that the Russian Federation, because of 
        concerns that much of its nuclear forces would not survive a 
        nuclear attack, may have a nuclear deterrence posture reliant 
        upon launching a retaliatory nuclear strike when it believes a 
        nuclear ballistic missile attack against it is or might be 
        underway.
            (6) Deficiencies in the security and control of the nuclear 
        forces of the Russian Federation that could result in 
        unauthorized personnel gaining control of a nuclear-armed 
        missile or warhead.
            (7) The susceptibility of nuclear strategic command and 
        control systems and early-warning systems to an intrusion or 
        accident that could create the false appearance that a nuclear 
        ballistic missile attack is or might be underway.
    (b) Report.--(1) Not later than November 1, 2005, the Secretary of 
Defense shall submit to Congress a report on the collaborative measures 
that the United States and the Russian Federation could take to reduce 
the risks that a nuclear ballistic missile could be launched as the 
result of an accident, misinformation, miscalculation, or unauthorized 
use. For each such measure, the report shall provide--
            (A) specific comments on the advisability of the measure in 
        terms of the potential contribution of the measure to the 
        national security interests of the United States, including the 
        potential contribution of the measure in improving relations 
        between the United States and the Russian Federation; and
            (B) a description of the obstacles and opportunities 
        associated with pursuing the measure.
    (2) In addition to any other measure that the Secretary considers 
appropriate, the report required by paragraph (1) shall cover the 
following measures:
            (A) The future of the Joint Data Exchange Center.
            (B) Potential topics for discussion between high-level 
        military leaders of the United States and of the Russian 
        Federation on reducing the risk that a nuclear ballistic 
        missile could be launched as the result of an accident, 
        misinformation, miscalculation, or unauthorized use.

SEC. 2823. SPECIFICATION OF FINAL SELECTION CRITERIA FOR NEXT BASE 
              CLOSURE ROUND.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Title XXX of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 2002 (Public Law 107-107; 115 Stat. 1342) amended 
        the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (part A of 
        title XXIX of Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note) to 
        authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct an additional 
        round of base realignments and closures.
            (2) In section 2822 of the National Defense Authorization 
        Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136; 117 Stat. 1726), 
        approved November 24, 2003, Congress required the Secretary of 
        Defense to assess the probable threats to national security and 
        determine the potential, prudent, surge requirements for the 
        Armed Forces and military installations to meet those threats. 
        Such section specifically requires the Secretary of Defense to 
        use the determination of surge requirements in exercising the 
        authority of the Secretary to conduct the next round of base 
        realignments and closures.
            (3) Section 2913 of the Defense Base Closure and 
        Realignment Act of 1990, as added by title XXX of the National 
        Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002, specified the 
        process by which the Secretary of Defense was to prepare the 
        criteria to be used by the Secretary in making recommendations 
        for the next round of base realignments and closures and listed 
        certain requirements the Secretary had to comply with as part 
        of the process, including the advance publication of the 
        proposed criteria and the solicitation and consideration of 
        public comments.
            (4) In subsection (e) of such section, Congress required 
        the Secretary of Defense to publish in the Federal Register and 
        transmit to Congress not later than February 16, 2004, the 
        final criteria intended to be used by the Secretary in making 
        recommendations for the next round of base realignments and 
        closures. Pursuant to such subsection, the Secretary of Defense 
        published the final selection criteria in the Federal Register 
        on February 12, 2004 (69 Fed. Reg. 6948).
            (5) In addition to specifically reserving its right to 
        disapprove the final selection criteria, Congress may modify or 
        otherwise amend the criteria by Act of Congress.
    (b) Congressional Specification of Final BRAC Selection Criteria.--

        shall certify to Congress whether the amounts specified in the 
        report pursuant to subparagraphs (B) and (C) of such paragraph 
        are sufficient to cover both the initial and permanent costs of 
        relocating Department of the Navy activities from the portion

        certifies under paragraph (3) that amounts referred to in 
        subparagraphs (B) and (C) of paragraph (1) are insufficient to 
        cover Navy relocation costs, the Administrator of General
