4 SUPPORT FOR PROTECTING THE UNITED

8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find9 ings: 

10 (1) Congress passed and the President signed 

11 the National Missile Defense Act of 1999 (Public 

12 Law 106–38), which stated: ‘‘It is the policy of the 

13 United States to deploy as soon as is technologically 

14 possible an effective National Missile Defense system 

15 capable of defending the territory of the United 

16 States against limited ballistic missile attack (wheth17 er accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate). 

18 (2) The United States has thus far deployed 26 

19 long-range, Ground-based, Midcourse Defense 

20 (GMD) interceptors in Alaska and California to de21 fend against potential long-range missiles from 

22 rogue states such as North Korea. 

23 (3) Congress has fully funded the President’s 

24 budget request for the GMD sites in Alaska and 

25 California in fiscal years 2008 and 2009, as well as 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

63 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 continued development of the Standard Missile-3 

2 Block IIA missile with Japan, which will provide the 

3 Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system the capability 

4 to engage long-range ballistic missiles like the North 

5 Korean Taepo Dong-2. 

6 (4) Senior defense and intelligence officials have 

7 indicated that the threat to the United States from 

8 long-range missiles from rogue states is limited. 

9 (5) Senior military officials have testified that 

10 the original threat assessments of the long-range 

11 missile threat made by the Missile Defense Agency 

12 in 2002 were ‘‘off by a factor of 10 or 20’’. 

13 (6) It is imperative that missile defense force 

14 structure and inventory be linked to the most likely 

15 threats and validated military requirements. 

16 (7) The Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of 

17 the Joint Chiefs, the Commander of the United 

18 States Strategic Command’s Joint Functional Com19 ponent Command for Integrated Missile Defense, 

20 and the Director of the Missile Defense Agency have 

21 either testified or stated that 30 operationally de22 ployed GMD interceptors would be adequate to de23 fend against any rogue missile threat to the United 

24 States in the near- to mid-term. 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

64 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 (8) The Director of the Missile Defense Agency 

2 testified that, for the first time since the establish3 ment of the Missile Defense Agency in 2002, key 

4 elements of the Department of Defense, such as the 

5 combatant commanders and the military services, 

6 played a major role in shaping the missile defense 

7 budget for fiscal year 2010. 

8 (9) There is currently no existing military re9 quirement justifying the need to deploy 44 GMD 

10 interceptors, nor has that number been validated by 

11 the Department of Defense’s requirements process. 

12 (10) In testimony before Congress this year, the 

13 Director of the Missile Defense Agency indicated 

14 that a number of GMD interceptors were removed 

15 from their silos for unscheduled maintenance and re16 furbishment because of unanticipated problems with 

17 the interceptors were discovered. 

18 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con19 gress that the United States— 

20 (1) reaffirms the principles articulated in the 

21 National Missile Defense Act of 1999; 

22 (2) should continue to fund robust research, de23 velopment, test, and evaluation of the current GMD 

24 system deployed in Alaska in California to ensure

6 Standard Missile-3 Block IIA missile with Japan, 

7 which will provide the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense 

8 system a capability to counter long-range ballistic 

9 missiles like the North Korean Taepo Dong-2; and 

10 (4) should set future missile defense force 

11 structure and inventory requirements based on a 

12 clear linkage to the threat and the military require13 ments process that takes into account the views of 

14 key Department of Defense stakeholders such as the 

15 combatant commanders and the military services.

18 (1) Missile defense promotes the collective secu19 rity of the United States and NATO and improves 

20 linkages among member nations of NATO by de21 fending all members of NATO against the full range 

22 of missile threats. 

23 (2) The Islamic Republic of Iran possesses the 

24 largest inventory of short-and medium-range ballistic 

25 missiles in the Middle East and these missiles repmstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

HR 2647 PCS 

1 resent a threat to Europe and United States inter2 ests and deployed forces in the region. Neither 

3 NATO nor the United States currently possesses 

4 sufficient theater missile defense capability to 

5 counter this threat from Iran. 

6 (3) Iran does not currently possess a long-range 

7 ballistic missile capable of reaching the United 

8 States and, if it were to develop such a capability in 

9 the near future, the long-range Ground-based Mid10 course Defense (GMD) interceptors currently de11 ployed in Alaska have sufficient range to protect the 

12 United States against an emerging threat. 

13 (4) It is in the interest of the United States to 

14 work cooperatively with NATO to counter these 

15 threats consistent with the direction provided in the 

16 statement by the Heads of State and Government 

17 participating in the meeting of the North Atlantic 

18 Council in Strasbourg/Kehl on April 4, 2009, that: 

19 ‘‘we judge that missile threats should be addressed 

20 in a prioritized manner that includes consideration 

21 of the level of imminence of the threat and the level 

22 of acceptable risk.’’.

3 testified before the House Armed Services Com4 mittee on May 21, 2009, that health and status indi5 cators forced the agency to remove several long6 range interceptors for unscheduled maintenance and 

7 refurbishment. 

8 (6) The Fiscal Year 2008 Annual Report to 

9 Congress by the Director of Operational Test and 

10 Evaluation (DOT&E) stated: ‘‘The inherent BDMS 

11 defensive capability against theater threats increased 

12 during the last fiscal year and DOT&E expects this 

13 trend to continue’’ largely due to the continued 

14 progress of the AEGIS and Terminal High Altitude 

15 Area Defense (THAAD) systems in operational test16 ing. 

17 (7) The proposed European locations of the 

18 long-range missile defense system allow for the de19 fense of both Europe and the United States against 

20 long-range threats launched from the Middle East, 

21 but a limited deployment of GMD interceptors on 

22 the east coast of the United States would provide 

23 comparable defense of our homeland and the most 

24 pressing threat to Europe is from medium-range bal25 listic missiles.

6 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find7 ings: 

8 (1) Congress passed and the President signed 

9 the National Missile Defense Act of 1999 (Public 

10 Law 106–38), which stated: ‘‘It is the policy of the 

11 United States to deploy as soon as is technologically 

12 possible an effective National Missile Defense system 

13 capable of defending the territory of the United 

14 States against limited ballistic missile attack (wheth15 er accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate).’’. 

16 (2) Section 118 of title 10, United States Code 

17 requires the Secretary of Defense ‘‘every four years, 

18 during a year following a year evenly divisible by 

19 four, to conduct a comprehensive examination (to be

3 (3) Among the requirements established by sec4 tion 118 of title 10, United States Code, for the ele5 ments that must be included in the Quadrennial De6 fense Review are the following: 

7 (A) The threats to the assumed or defined 

8 national security interests of the United States 

9 that were examined for the purposes of the re10 view and the scenarios developed in the exam11 ination of those threats. 

12 (B) The specific capabilities, including the

8 (6) The Final Report of the Congressional 

9 Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United 

10 States, issued on May 7, 2009, concluded: ‘‘Missile 

11 defenses can play a useful role in supporting the 

12 basic objectives of deterrence, broadly defined. De13 fenses that are effective against regional aggressors 

14 are a valuable component of the U.S. strategic pos15 ture. The United States should develop and, where 

16 appropriate, deploy missile defenses against regional 

17 nuclear aggressors, including against limited long18 range threats. These can also be beneficial for lim19 iting damage if deterrence fails. The United States

24 (1) On November 20, 1943, units of the United 

25 States Marine Corps, supported by units of the 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

1 United States Army and warships and aircraft of 

2 the United States Navy, conducted an amphibious 

3 landing on the Island of Betio, Tarawa Atoll, in the 

4 Gilbert Islands in the Pacific Ocean. 

5 (2) The United States military forces faced an 

6 entrenched force of 5,000 Japanese soldiers. 

7 (3) The Tarawa landing was the first American 

8 amphibious assault on a fortified beachhead in 

9 World War II. 

10 (4) Just 76 hours later, the American flag was 

11 raised at Tarawa. 

12 (5) More than 1,100 Marines and other mem13 bers of the Armed Forces were killed during the bat14 tle. 

15 (6) Most of the Marines, soldiers, and sailors 

16 who were killed during the battle were buried in 

17 hastily dug graves and cemeteries on Tarawa. 

18 (7) Between 1943 and 1946, the remains of 

19 some of the Marines and other members of the 

20 Armed Forces were disinterred and reinterred in 

21 temporary graves by the Navy. 

22 (8) After World War II, the remains of some of 

23 these Marines and other members of the Armed 

24 Forces were recovered and returned to the United 

25 States for burial. 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

2 records, as well as other causes, the remains of 564 

3 Marines and other members of the Armed Forces 

4 killed in the battle of Tarawa are in unmarked, un5 known graves. 

6 (10) Since 1980, the Department of Defense 

7 has recovered remains from some unmarked graves 

8 that have been found through construction or other 

9 activity on Tarawa. 

10 (11) The remains of members of the Armed 

11 Forces on Tarawa continue to be threatened by con12 struction or other land disturbing activity. 

13 (12) Recent research has shed new light on the 

14 locations of unmarked and lost graves of members of 

15 the Armed Forces on Tarawa. 

16 (13) It is the responsibility of the Federal Gov17 ernment to return to the United States for proper

16 SEC. 1048. SENSE OF CONGRESS HONORING THE HONOR17 ABLE ELLEN O. TAUSCHER. 

18 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find19 ings: 

20 (1) In 1996, Representative Ellen O. Tauscher 

21 was elected to represent California’s 10th Congres22 sional district, which is located in the East Bay Area 

23 of northern California and consists of parts of So24 lano, Contra Costa, Alameda, and Sacramento coun25 ties.

2 of the Nation’s defense laboratories, Lawrence 

3 Livermore and the California campus of Sandia, as 

4 well as Travis Air Force Base, home of the 60th Air 

5 Mobility Wing and the Camp Parks Army Reserve 

6 facility. 

7 (3) Prior to her service in Congress, Represent8 ative Tauscher worked in the private sector for 20 

9 years, 14 of which were on Wall Street. 

10 (4) At age 25, Representative Tauscher became 

11 one of the first women, and the youngest at the 

12 time, to hold a seat on the New York Stock Ex13 change, and she later served as an officer of the 

14 American Stock Exchange. 

15 (5) Representative Tauscher moved to Cali16 fornia in 1989 and shortly afterwards founded the 

17 first national research service to help parents verify 

18 the background of childcare workers while she 

19 sought quality childcare for her own daughter. 

20 (6) Subsequently, Representative Tauscher pub21 lished a book to help working parents make in22 formed decisions about their own childcare needs. 

23 (7) Representative Tauscher is known by her 

24 colleagues in Congress as a leader on national secu25 rity and nonproliferation issues. 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

462 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 (8) During her tenure, she has introduced legis2 lation to increase and expand the Nation’s non3 proliferation programs, strengthen the Stockpile 

4 Stewardship Program, and provide the Nation’s 

5 troops with the support and equipment they deserve. 

6 (9) In the 110th Congress, Representative 

7 Tauscher was appointed Chairman of the Strategic 

8 Forces Subcommittee of the Armed Services Com9 mittee of the House of Representatives, becoming 

10 only the third woman in history to chair an Armed 

11 Services subcommittee. 

12 (10) Representative Tauscher is also the first

1 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the Sense of Con2 gress that the Honorable Ellen O. Tauscher, Representa3 tive from California, has served the House of Representa4 tives and the American people selflessly and with distinc5 tion, and that she deserves the sincere and humble grati6 tude of Congress and the Nation. 

7 SEC. 1049. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE DIS8 POSITION OF SUBMARINE NR–1. 

9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find10 ings: 

11 (1) The Deep Submergence Vessel NR–1 (here12 inafter in this section referred to as ‘‘NR–1’’) was 

13 built by the Electric Boat Company in Groton, Con14 necticut, entered service in 1969, and was the only 

15 nuclear-powered research submersible in the United 

16 States Navy. 

17 (2) NR–1 was assigned to Naval Submarine 

18 Base New London, located in Groton, Connecticut 

19 throughout her entire service life. 

20 (3) NR–1 was inactivated in December 2008. 

21 (4) Due to the unique capabilities of NR–1, it 

22 conducted numerous missions of significant military 

23 and scientific value most notably in the fields of geo24 logical survey and oceanographic research. 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

464 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 (5) In 1986, NR–1 played a key role in the 

2 search for and recovery of the Space Shuttle Chal3 lenger. 

4 (6) The mission of the Submarine Force Li5 brary and Museum in Groton, Connecticut, is to col6 lect, preserve, and interpret the history of the 

7 United States Naval Submarine Force in order to 

8 honor veterans and to educate naval personnel and 

9 the public in the heritage and traditions of the Sub10 marine Force. 

11 (7) NR–1 is a unique and irreplaceable part of 

12 the history of the Navy and the Submarine Force 

13 and an educational and historical asset that should 

14 be shared with the Nation and the world. 

15 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the Sense of Con16 gress that— 

17 (1) NR–1 is a unique and irreplaceable part of 

18 the Nation’s history and as much of the vessel as 

19 possible should be preserved for the historical and 

20 educational benefit of all Americans at the Sub21 marine Force Museum and Library in Groton, Con22 necticut; and 

23 (2) the Secretary of the Navy should ensure 

24 that as much of the vessel as possible, including 

25 unique components of on-board equipment and clearmstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

6 ON THE DISPOSITION OF DETAINEES AT 

7 NAVAL STATION, GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA. 

8 The Secretary of Defense shall comply with the re9 quirements of section 1023(b) of this Act, regarding the 

10 transfer or release of the individuals detained at Naval 

11 Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 

12 SEC. 1051. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CARRIER AIR 

13 WING FORCE STRUCTURE. 

14 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find15 ings: 

16 (1) The requirement of section 5062(b) of title 

17 10, United States Code, for the Navy to maintain 

18 not less than 11 operational aircraft carriers, means 

19 that the naval combat forces of the Navy also in20 clude not less than 10 carrier air wings. 

21 (2) The Department of the Navy currently re22 quires a carrier air wing to include not less than 44 

23 strike fighter aircraft. 

24 (3) In spite of the potential warfighting benefits 

25 that may result in the deployment of fifth-generation 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

466 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 strike fighter aircraft, for the foreseeable future the 

2 majority of the strike fighter aircraft assigned to a 

3 carrier air wing will not be fifth-generation assets. 

4 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con5 gress that— 

6 (1) in addition to the forces described in section 

7 5062(b) of title 10, United States Code, the naval 

8 combat forces of the Navy should include not less 

9 than 10 carrier air wings (even if the number of air10 craft carriers is temporarily reduced) that are com11 prised of, in addition to any other aircraft, not less 

12 than 44 strike fighter aircraft; and 

13 (2) the Secretary of the Navy should take all 

14 appropriate actions necessary to make resources 

15 available in order to include such number of strike 

16 fighter aircraft in each carrier air wing. 

17 SEC. 1052. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DEPARTMENT OF DE18 FENSE FINANCIAL IMPROVEMENT AND 

19 AUDIT READINESS; PLAN. 

20 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find21 ings: 

22 (1) The Department of Defense is the largest 

23 agency in the Federal Government, owning 86 per24 cent of the Government’s assets, estimated at $4.6 

25 trillion. 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

467 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 (2) It is essential that the Department maintain 

2 strong financial management and business systems 

3 that allow for comprehensive auditing, in order to 

4 improve financial management government-wide and 

5 to achieve an opinion on the Federal Government’s 

6 consolidated financial statements. 

7 (3) Several major pieces of legislation, such as 

8 the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public 

9 Law 101–576) and the Federal Financial Manage10 ment Improvement Act of 1996 (Public Law 104– 

11 208; 31 U.S.C. 3512 note) have required published 

12 financial statement audits, reporting by auditors re13 garding whether the Department’s financial manage14 ment systems comply substantially with Federal ac15 counting standards, and other measures intended to 

16 ensure financial management systems of the Depart17 ment provide accurate, reliable, and timely financial 

18 management information. 

19 (4) Nevertheless, according to the January 

20 2009 update to the Government Accountability Of21 fice High Risk Series, to date, only ‘‘* * * the U.S. 

22 Army Corps of Engineers, Civil Works has achieved 

23 a clean audit opinion on its financial statements. 

24 None of the military services have received favorable 

25 financial statement audit opinions, and the Departmstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

468 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 ment has annually acknowledged that long-standing 

2 pervasive weaknesses in its business systems, proc3 esses, and controls have prevented auditors from de4 termining the reliability of reported financial state5 ment information.’’. 

6 (5) In response to a congressional mandate, the 

7 Department issued its first biennial Financial Im8 provement and Audit Readiness Plan in December 

9 2005, to delineate its strategy for addressing finan10 cial management challenges and achieving clean 

11 audit opinions. This 2005 report projected that 69 

12 percent of assets and 80 percent of liabilities would 

13 be ‘‘clean’’ by 2009, yet in the latest report in 

14 March 2009 the Department projects it will achieve 

15 an unqualified audit on only 45 percent of its assets 

16 and liabilities by 2009. The Department of Defense 

17 is falling behind its original plan to achieve full com18 pliance with the law by 2017. 

19 (6) Following the passage of the Sarbanes20 Oxley Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–204), publicly 

21 traded corporations in the United States would face 

22 severe penalties for similar deficiencies in financial 

23 management and accountability. 

24 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con25 gress that it is no longer excusable to allow poor business 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

469 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 systems, a deficiency of resource allocation, or a lack of 

2 commitment from senior Department of Defense leader3 ship to foster waste or non-accountability to the United 

4 States taxpayer. It is the further sense of Congress that 

5 the Secretary of Defense has not made compliance with 

6 financial management and audit readiness standards a top 

7 priority and should require, through the Chief Manage8 ment Officer of the Department of Defense, that each 

9 component of the Department develop and implement a 

10 specific plan to become compliant with the law well in ad11 vance of 2017. 

12 (c) PLAN.—In the next update of the Financial Im13 provement and Audit Readiness Plan, following the date 

14 of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense 

15 shall outline a plan to achieve a full, unqualified audit of 

16 the Department of Defense by September 30, 2013. In 

17 the plan, the Secretary shall also identify a mechanism 

18 to conduct audits of the military intelligence programs and 

19 agencies and to submit audited financial statements for 

20 such agencies to Congress in a classified manner. 

21 SEC. 1053. JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE AND TER22 RORISM. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find24 ings: 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

470 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 (1) At the request of President George W. 

2 Bush, Congress permitted the President to waive ap3 plicable provisions of the National Defense Author4 ization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 with respect to ju5 dicially cognizable claims of American victims of tor6 ture and hostage taking by the Government of Iraq. 

7 (2) In return, however, Congress requested the 

8 executive branch to resolve these claims through ne9 gotiations with Iraq. 

10 (3) After considerable delay, officials of the De11 partment of State have informed Members of Con12 gress that these negotiations are underway. 

13 (4) Congress appreciates the start of the nego14 tiations and will monitor the progress in the prompt 

15 and equitable resolution of these claims. 

16 (5) Congress notes that the House of Rep17 resentatives in the 110th Congress unanimously 

18 adopted H.R. 5167, the Justice for Victims of Tor19 ture and Terrorism Act, which set forth an appro20 priate compromise of these claims. 

21 (6) In the interest of assisting the new demo22 cratic government of Iraq, H.R. 5167 offers a con23 siderable compromise to all parties involved by 

24 waiving all punitive damages awarded by the courts 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

471 

HR 2647 PCS 

1 in these cases, as well as approximately two-thirds of 

2 compensatory damages awarded by the courts. 

3 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con4 gress that as the negotiations to resolve the claims of 

5 American victims of torture and hostage taking by the 

6 Government of Iraq that are referred to in subsection 

7 (a)(1) proceed, Congress continues to view the provisions 

8 of H.R. 5167 of the 110th Congress as representing a fair
