SEC. 233. PATRIOT ADVANCED CAPABILITY–3 THEATER MISSILE

DEFENSE SYSTEM.

(a) COMPETITION FOR MISSILE SELECTION.—The Secretary of

Defense shall continue the strategy being carried out by the Ballistic

Missile Defense Organization as of October 1, 1993, for selection

of the best technology (in terms of cost, schedule, risk, and performance) to meet the missile requirements for the Patriot Advanced

Capability–3 (PAC–3) theater missile defense system. That strategy,

consisting of flight testing, ground testing, simulations, and other

analyses of the weapon systems referred to in subsection (d), shall

be continued until the Secretary determines that the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization has adequate information upon which

to base a decision as to which missile will be selected to proceed

into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development stage.

SEC. 234. COMPLIANCE OF BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS

AND COMPONENTS WITH ABM TREATY.

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:

(1) Section 232(a)(1) of the Missile Defense Act of 1991

(10 U.S.C. 2431 note) establishes a goal for the United States

to comply with the ABM Treaty (including any protocol or

amendment thereto) and not develop, test, or deploy any ballistic missile defense system, or component thereof, in violation

of that treaty (as modified by any protocol or amendment

thereto) while deploying an anti-ballistic missile system capable

of providing a highly effective defense of the United States

against limited attacks of ballistic missiles.

(2) The Department of Defense has conducted no formal

compliance review of any of the components or systems scheduled for early deployment as part of either the Theater Missile

Defense Initiative or the initial limited defense system to be

located at Grand Forks, North Dakota.

(3) The Department of Defense is continuing to obligate

hundreds of millions of dollars for the development and testing

of systems or components of ballistic missile defense systems

before a determination has been made that, if successfully

developed, tested, or deployed, those systems and components

would be in compliance with the ABM Treaty. (4) The President requested the authorization and appropriation of additional funds for continued development of such

systems and components during fiscal year 1994. (5) The United States and its allies face existing and

expanding threats from ballistic missiles capable of being used

as theater weapon systems that are presently possessed by,

being developed by, or being acquired by a number of countries,

including Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. (6) Some theater ballistic missiles presently deployed or being developed (such as the Chinese-made CSS–2) have

capabilities equal to or greater than the capabilities of missiles

which were determined to be strategic missiles more than 20

years ago under the SALT I Interim Agreement of 1972 entered

into between the United States and the Soviet Union.

(7) The ABM Treaty was not intended to, and does not,

apply to or limit research, development, testing, or deployment

of missile defense systems, system upgrades, or system components that are designed to counter modern theater ballistic

missiles, regardless of the capabilities of such missiles, unless

those systems, system upgrades, or system components are

tested against or have demonstrated capabilities to counter

modern strategic ballistic missiles.

(8) It is a national security priority of the United States

to develop and deploy highly effective theater missile defense

systems capable of countering the existing and expanding

threats posed by modern theater ballistic missiles as soon as

is technically possible.

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—50

(9) It is essential that the Secretary of Defense immediately

undertake and complete a review for compliance with the ABM

Treaty of proposed theater missile defense systems, system

upgrades, and system components so as to not delay the development and deployment of such highly effective theater missile

defense systems.

(b) REQUIRED COMPLIANCE REVIEW.—(1) The Secretary of

Defense shall review the current baseline configuration of each

system or system upgrade specified in paragraph (2), and the system

components, to determine whether the development, testing, or

deployment of that system or system upgrade would be in compliance with the ABM Treaty, including the interpretation of the

Treaty set forth in the enclosure to the July 13, 1993, ACDA

letter.

(2) The systems and system upgrades to be reviewed pursuant

to paragraph (1) are the following:

(A) The Patriot Multimode Missile.

(B) The Extended Range Interceptor (ERINT).

(C) The Ground-Based Radar for theater missile defenses

(GBR–T).

(D) The Theater High Altitude Area Defense interceptor

missile (THAAD).

(E) The Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor system.

(F) Upgrades to the AEGIS/SPY radar system of the Navy.

(G) Upgrades to the Standard Missile–2 (SM–2) interceptor

of the Navy.

(3) If during the course of the compliance review under paragraph (1) (or any other such compliance review of a ballistic missile

system or system upgrade), an issue arises that appears to indicate

that a provision of the ABM Treaty may limit research, development, testing, or deployment by the United States of highly effective

theater missile defense systems capable of countering modern theater ballistic missiles, the Secretary of Defense shall immediately

submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on

that issue.

(c) REPORT.—(1) For each system and system upgrade specified in paragraph (2) of subsection (b), the Secretary shall submit to

the appropriate congressional committees a report on the results

of the review required by that subsection. A report may include

the results of the reviews of more than one system and system

upgrade. For any system or system upgrade determined not to

be in compliance with the ABM Treaty, the Secretary shall indicate

(A) what changes to the ABM Treaty would be required for the

system to be deemed compliant with such modified ABM Treaty,

and (B) what changes to the performance capability of the system

or system upgrade would be required in order for it to become

compliant with the existing Treaty, together with the effect of

those performance capability changes on the effectiveness of the

planned missile defense architecture.

(2) With regard to the Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor system,

the Secretary shall include in the report findings on each of the

following issues:

(A) Whether the current baseline configuration of the Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor system would comply with the

ABM Treaty if the system were used in conjunction with the

planned ground-based radar system and its ground-based interceptors at Grand Forks, North Dakota.

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—51

(B) If not, whether design changes or operational changes

can be made to the Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor system

that—

(i) will result in the sensor system, when employed

in conjunction with the planned ground-based radar system

and its ground-based interceptors, being in compliance with

the ABM Treaty; and

(ii) will not prevent the sensor system from performing

its strategic defense missions with a high degree of

effectiveness.

(C) If not, whether the Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor

system can be made, through design changes or operational

changes, for use only with theater missile defense systems

and be in compliance with the ABM Treaty.

(D) If so, the extent to which deployment of the Brilliant

Eyes space-based sensor system would enhance the capability

of upper-tier theater defense systems and lower-tier theater

defense systems, respectively.

(d) LIMITATIONS ON FUNDING PENDING SUBMISSION OF

REPORT.—(1) Not more than 50 percent of the funds reported pursuant to section 231(e) to be allocated for fiscal year 1994 for a

system or system upgrade specified in subsection (b)(2) may be

obligated for that system or system upgrade, or any of its components, until the Secretary completes the compliance review of such

system or system upgrade required by subsection (b) and submits

to the appropriate congressional committees the report on the

results of the compliance review of that system or system upgrade

as required by subsection (c). (2) Funds appropriated to the Department of Defense for fiscal

year 1994, or otherwise made available to the Department of

Defense from any funds appropriated for fiscal year 1994 or for

any fiscal year before 1994, may not be obligated or expended— (A) for any development or testing of anti-ballistic missile

systems or components except for development and testing

consistent with the interpretation of the ABM Treaty set forth

contributions to the national security interests of nations that

are allies of the United States that would be equal to or

greater than the contributions such systems would make to

the national security interests of the United States. (2) The cost of developing and deploying a broad spectrum of such systems will be several tens of billions of dollars. (3) A truly cooperative multinational approach to the development and deployment of such systems could substantially

reduce the financial burden of such an undertaking on any

one country and would involve additional sources of technological expertise.

(4) While leaders of nations that are allies of the United

States have stated an interest in becoming involved, or increasing involvement, in United States tactical missile defense programs, the governments of those nations are unlikely to support

programs for theater missile defense development and deployment unless, at a minimum, they can participate in meaningful

ways in the planning and execution of such programs, including

active participation in research and development and production of the systems involved.

(5) Given the high cost of developing theater ballistic missile defense systems, the participation of United States allies

in the efforts to develop tactical missile defenses would result

in substantial savings to the United States.

(b) PLAN AND REPORTS.—(1) The Secretary of Defense shall

develop a plan to coordinate development and implementation of

Theater Missile Defense programs of the United States with theater

missile defense programs of United States allies, with the goal

of avoiding duplication of effort, increasing interoperability, and

reducing costs. The plan shall set forth in detail any financial,

in-kind, or other form of participation by each nation in cooperative

efforts to plan, develop, produce, and deploy theater ballistic missile

defenses for the mutual benefit of the countries involved.

(2) The Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the

plan developed under paragraph (1). The report shall be submitted

in both classified and unclassified versions, as appropriate, and

may be submitted as a component of the next Theater Missile

Defense Initiative report to Congress. (3) The Secretary shall include in each annual Theater Missile

Defense Initiative report to Congress a report on actions taken

to implement the plan developed under paragraph (1). Each such

report shall set forth the status of discussions between the United

States and United States allies for the purposes stated in that

paragraph and shall state the status of contributions by those

allies to the Theater Missile Defense Cooperation Account, shown

separately for each allied country covered by the plan. (c) RESTRICTION ON FUNDS.—Of the total amount appropriated

pursuant to authorizations in this Act for theater ballistic missile

defense programs, not more than 80 percent may be obligated

until—

(1) the report under subsection (b)(2) is submitted to Congress; and (2) the President certifies in writing to Congress that representatives of the United States have formally submitted to

each of the member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty

Organization and to Japan, Israel, and South Korea a proposal

concerning the matters described in the report.

The President may submit with such certification a report of similar

formal contacts with any other country that the President considers

appropriate.

(d) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that

whenever the United States deploys theater ballistic missile

defenses to protect another country, or the military forces of another

country, that has not provided financial or in-kind support for

development of theater ballistic missile defenses, the United States

should consider whether it is appropriate to seek reimbursement

from that country to cover at least the incremental cost to the

United States of such deployment.

(e) ALLIED PARTICIPATION IN TMD PROGRAMS.—Congress

encourages allies of the United States, and particularly those allies

that would benefit most from deployment of Theater Missile Defense

systems, to participate in, or to increase participation in, cooperative

Theater Missile Defense programs of the United States. Congress

also encourages participation by the United States in cooperative

theater missile defense efforts of allied nations as such programs

emerge.

limitations applicable to the depot-level maintenance workload performed by non-Federal Government personnel set forth in section

2466 of title 10, United States Code, are adhered to.

SEC. 344. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN

DEPOT-LEVEL WORK BY FOREIGN CONTRACTORS.

(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress that

the Secretary of Defense should not contract for the performance

by a person or organization described in subsection (b) of any

depot-level maintenance work on equipment located in the United

States if the Secretary determines that the work could be performed

in the United States on a cost-effective basis and without significant

adverse effect on the readiness of the Armed Forces.

(b) COVERED PERSONS AND ORGANIZATIONS.—A person or

organization referred to in subsection (a) is a person or organization

which is not part of the national technology and industrial base,

as such term is defined in section 2491(1) of title 10, United States

Code.

SEC. 345. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ROLE OF DEPOT-LEVEL

ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following findings:

(1) The depot-level maintenance and repair activities of

the Department of Defense provide the Armed Forces with

a critical capacity to respond to the needs of the Armed Forces

for depot-level maintenance and repair of weapon systems and

equipment.

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—79

(2) The depot-level maintenance and repair activities of

the Department of Defense provide the Department with

capabilities that are uniquely suited to responding to the

increased need for repair and maintenance of weapon systems

and equipment which may arise in times of national crisis. (3) The skilled employees and equipment of the depot- level maintenance and repair activities of the Department of

Defense are an essential component of the overall defense

industrial base of the United States.

(4) The critical role of the depot-level maintenance and

repair activities of the Department of Defense is recognized

in section 2466 of title 10, United States Code, which provides

that the Secretary of a military department and, with respect

to a Defense Agency, the Secretary of Defense, may not contract

for the performance by non-Federal Government personnel of

more than 40 percent of the depot-level maintenance workload

for the military department or the Defense Agency. (5) Maintenance of this critical industrial capability in the Department of Defense requires that an appropriate level of

the depot-level maintenance and repair of new weapon systems

be assigned to depot-level maintenance and repair activities

of the Department of Defense.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress that, in order to maintain the critical depot-level maintenance and repair

capability for military weapon systems and equipment, the Secretary of Defense shall, to the maximum extent practicable, ensure

that a sufficient amount of the depot-level maintenance and repair

of new weapon systems and equipment is assigned to depot-level

maintenance and repair activities of the Department of Defense,

States Code.

amount in effect for that month under section 1311(b) of title

38.

‘‘(3) If compensation is paid under this section to a child or

in the case of a former member as described in subsection (b)

the former member resides in the same household as the spouse

or former spouse, or dependent child, to whom compensation is

payment of such compensation, effective as of the time the former

member begins residing in such household. Compensation paid

for a period after the former member’s separation, but before the

former member resides in the household, shall not be recouped.

participant in the conduct constituting the dependent-abuse offense.

of payment of transitional compensation by reason of a total forfeiture of pay and allowances pursuant to a sentence of a courtmartial, payment of transitional compensation shall not be made

‘‘(B) If each form of the punishment that would result in the

set aside, or mitigated to a punishment that does not result in

the termination of that eligibility, a payment of benefits to the

eligible recipient under this subsection that is based on the punishment so vacated, set aside, or mitigated shall cease. The cessation

of payments shall be effective as of the first day of the first month

following the month in which the Secretary concerned notifies the

Subtitle G—Other Matters

SEC. 571. POLICY CONCERNING HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE ARMED

FORCES.

(a) CODIFICATION.—(1) Chapter 37 of title 10, United States

Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section:

‘‘§ 654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces

‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:

‘‘(1) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the United

States commits exclusively to the Congress the powers to raise

and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and make

rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval

forces.

‘‘(2) There is no constitutional right to serve in the armed

forces.

‘‘(3) Pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of article

I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies within the

discretion of the Congress to establish qualifications for and

conditions of service in the armed forces.

‘‘(4) The primary purpose of the armed forces is to prepare

for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

‘‘(5) The conduct of military operations requires members

of the armed forces to make extraordinary sacrifices, including

the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the common

defense.

‘‘(6) Success in combat requires military units that are

characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and

unit cohesion.

‘‘(7) One of the most critical elements in combat capability

is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust among individual

service members that make the combat effectiveness of a military unit greater than the sum of the combat effectiveness

of the individual unit members.

‘‘(8) Military life is fundamentally different from civilian

life in that—

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00124 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—125

‘‘(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the armed

forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the

critical role of unit cohesion, require that the military

community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a

specialized society; and

‘‘(B) the military society is characterized by its own

laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous

restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be acceptable in civilian society.

‘‘(9) The standards of conduct for members of the armed

forces regulate a member’s life for 24 hours each day beginning

at the moment the member enters military status and not

ending until that person is discharged or otherwise separated

from the armed forces.

‘‘(10) Those standards of conduct, including the Uniform

Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the armed

forces at all times that the member has a military status,

whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the

member is on duty or off duty.

‘‘(11) The pervasive application of the standards of conduct

is necessary because members of the armed forces must be

ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat

environment.

‘‘(12) The worldwide deployment of United States military

forces, the international responsibilities of the United States,

and the potential for involvement of the armed forces in actual

combat routinely make it necessary for members of the armed

forces involuntarily to accept living conditions and working

conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and characterized

by forced intimacy with little or no privacy. ‘‘(13) The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a longstanding element of military law that continues to be necessary

in the unique circumstances of military service. ‘‘(14) The armed forces must maintain personnel policies

that exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would

create an unacceptable risk to the armed forces’ high standards

of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that

are the essence of military capability. ‘‘(15) The presence in the armed forces of persons who

demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual

acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards

of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that

are the essence of military capability.

‘‘(b) POLICY.—A member of the armed forces shall be separated

from the armed forces under regulations prescribed by the Secretary

of Defense if one or more of the following findings is made and

approved in accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations:

‘‘(1) That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage

in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or acts

unless there are further findings, made and approved in accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations, that the

member has demonstrated that—

‘‘(A) such conduct is a departure from the member’s

usual and customary behavior;

‘‘(B) such conduct, under all the circumstances, is

unlikely to recur;

H. R. 2401—126

‘‘(C) such conduct was not accomplished by use of force,

coercion, or intimidation;

‘‘(D) under the particular circumstances of the case,

the member’s continued presence in the armed forces is

consistent with the interests of the armed forces in proper

discipline, good order, and morale; and

‘‘(E) the member does not have a propensity or intent

to engage in homosexual acts.

‘‘(2) That the member has stated that he or she is a homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect, unless there is

a further finding, made and approved in accordance with procedures set forth in the regulations, that the member has demonstrated that he or she is not a person who engages in,

attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or intends

to engage in homosexual acts.

‘‘(3) That the member has married or attempted to marry

a person known to be of the same biological sex.

‘‘(c) ENTRY STANDARDS AND DOCUMENTS.—(1) The Secretary

Subtitle E—Commission on Roles and

Missions of the Armed Forces

SEC. 951. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:

(1) The current allocation of roles and missions among

the Armed Forces evolved from the practice during World War

II to meet the Cold War threat and may no longer be appropriate for the post-Cold War era.

(2) Many analysts believe that a realignment of those roles

and mission is essential for the efficiency and effectiveness

of the Armed Forces, particularly in light of lower budgetary

resources that will be available to the Department of Defense

in the future.

(3) The existing process of a triennial review of roles and

missions by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff pursuant

to provisions of law enacted by the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 has not produced

the comprehensive review envisioned by Congress.

(4) It is difficult for any organization, and may be particularly difficult for the Department of Defense, to reform itself

without the benefit and authority provided by external perspectives and analysis.

SEC. 952. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMISSION.

(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is hereby established a commission

to be known as the Commission on Roles and Missions of the

Commission shall review the types of military operations that may

be required in the post-Cold War era, taking into account the

requirements for success in various types of operations. As part

official strategic planning of the Department of Defense. The types

of operations to be considered by the Commission as part of such

(d) DEVELOPMENT OF CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR ORGANIZATIONAL ALLOCATIONS.—The Commission shall develop a conceptual

framework for the review of the organizational allocation among

the Armed Forces of military roles, missions, and functions. In

developing that framework, the Commission shall consider— (1) static efficiency (such as duplicative overhead and econo- mies of scale);

(2) dynamic effectiveness (including the benefits of competi- tion and the effect on innovation);

(3) interoperability, responsiveness, and other aspects of

military effectiveness in the field; (4) gaps in mission coverage and so-called orphan missions

that are inadequately served by existing organizational entities; (5) division of responsibility on the battlefield;

(6) exploitation of new technology and operational concepts;

(7) the degree of disruption that a change in roles and

missions would entail; and

(8) the experience of other nations.

(e) RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING MILITARY ROLES AND MISSIONS.—Based upon the conceptual framework developed under subsection (d) to evaluate possible changes to the existing allocation

among the Armed Forces of military roles, missions, and functions,

the Commission shall recommend—

Defense and other national security agencies to the extent that

changes in these areas are collateral to changes considered in

continuing to adapt the roles, missions, and functions of the Armed

Forces to future changes in technology and in the international

security environment.

Whenever the Secretary designates an operation as a National

Contingency Operation, the Secretary shall promptly transmit

notice of that designation in writing to Congress. This section

Defense to carry out an operation, but applies to the Department

of Defense mechanisms by which funds are provided for operations

that the armed forces are required to carry out under some other

authority.

‘‘(b) WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT TO REIMBURSE SUPPORT UNITS.—

(1) When an operating unit of the armed forces participating in

a National Contingency Operation receives support services from

a support unit of the armed forces that operates through the Defense

Business Operations Fund (or a successor fund), that operating

unit need not reimburse that support unit for the incremental

costs incurred by the support unit in providing such support, notwithstanding any other provision of law or Government accounting

practice.

‘‘(2) The amounts which but for paragraph (1) would be required

to be reimbursed to a support unit shall be recorded as an expense

attributable to the operation and shall be accounted for separately.

‘‘(3) The total of the unreimbursed sums for all National Contingency Operations may not exceed $300,000,000 at any one time.

‘‘(c) FINANCIAL PLAN FOR CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS.—(1)

Within two months of the beginning of any National Contingency

Operation, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a

financial plan for the operation that sets forth the manner by

which the Secretary proposes to obtain funds for the full cost

to the United States of the operation.

‘‘(2) The plan shall specify in detail how the Secretary proposes

to make the Defense Business Operations Fund (or a successor

fund) whole again.

‘‘(d) INCREMENTAL COSTS.—For purposes of this section,

incremental costs of the Department of Defense with respect to

an operation are the costs that are directly attributable to the

operation and that are otherwise chargeable to accounts available

for operation and maintenance or for military personnel. Any costs

which are otherwise chargeable to accounts available for procurement may not be considered to be incremental costs for purposes

of this section.

‘‘(e) INCREMENTAL PERSONNEL COSTS ACCOUNT.—There is

hereby established in the Department of Defense a reserve fund

to be known as the ‘National Contingency Operation Personnel

Fund’. Amounts in the fund shall be available for incremental

military personnel costs attributable to a National Contingency

Operation. Amounts in the fund remain available until expended.

‘‘(f) COORDINATION WITH WAR POWERS RESOLUTION.—This section may not be construed as altering or superseding the War

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00205 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06

the United States shall from time to time, and when requested

by a committee of Congress, conduct a review of the defense contingency funding structure under this section to determine whether

the Department of Defense is complying with the requirements

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following findings:

(1) The Defense Personnel Support Center, a component

of the Defense Logistics Agency, purchases more than 90 percent of the food supplied to military end-users, including dining

halls, hospitals, and other facilities that feed troops.

(2) Semiperishable items, such as canned goods, are stored

in four depots of the Defense Logistics Agency, and perishable

items, including fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, and meats,

are stored in 21 contractor-operated Defense Subsistence

Offices.

(3) Private sector end-users, including independent restaurants, hospitals, and hotels, obtain food through direct delivery from commercial distributors of food.

(4) In a comprehensive inventory reduction plan issued

in May 1990, the Secretary of Defense concluded that there

was no benefit to using the food supply system of the Department of Defense in circumstances in which the food requirements of the Department could be met through the use of

commercial distributors of food.

(5) In a report published in June 1993, the General

Accounting Office determined that the Department of Defense

could achieve substantial cost savings by expanding the use

of commercial distributors of food and related commercial practices in the food supply system of the Department.

(b) REVIEW.—The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a review of the food supply and distribution practices of the Department

of Defense. The review shall include the following: (1) An evaluation of the feasibility of, and the economic advantages and disadvantages of, the expanded use of fullline commercial distributors of food to deliver food directly

to military end-users. (2) An evaluation of the potential for the expanded use

of such commercial distributors to reduce the need for the

storage of food (except for war reserve stocks and items bound

for overseas) directly by the Department of Defense and to

eliminate the requirement for Defense Subsistence Offices and

certain warehouse activities at military installations.

(3) A comparison of the cost of using the Department

of Defense food supply and distribution system to meet the

Department of Defense food requirements with the cost of using

commercial distributors of food to meet such requirements.

(4) A consideration of any obstacles that would hinder

the ability of the Department of Defense to procure commercial

food items and to institute commercial practices with respect

to food supply and distribution.

(c) REPORT.—Not later than March 1, 1994, the Secretary shall

submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the

(1) There is a need to re-evaluate all defense spending

in light of the changed circumstances of the post-Cold War

era and budget and fiscal constraints.

(2) The Extremely Low Frequency Communications System

(ELF System) was originally designed to play a role in the

strategic deterrence mission against the former Soviet Union.

(3) The threat of nuclear war has greatly diminished since

the collapse of the Soviet Union.

(4) The ELF System is increasingly in use for communications with attack submarines in addition to ballistic missile

submarines.

(5) There have been questions raised about the effects

of ELF operations on human health and the environment and

ongoing studies of those effects are due to be concluded during

1994.

(b) EVALUATION AND REPORT BY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.— The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense

committees, before consideration by Congress of the fiscal year

1995 defense budget, a report containing the results of an evaluation

of the benefits and costs of continued operation of the Extremely

Low Frequency Communications System and the benefits and costs

H. R. 2401—218

of any alternatives to that system. The report shall be based upon

an evaluation conducted by the Secretary after the date of the

enactment of this Act.

(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that the bases at which the Extremely Low Frequency Communication

System is located, having been considered for closure or realignment

in the 1993 base closure process, should again be considered for

closure or realignment in the round of military base closures to

take place in 1995.

SEC. 1162. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF

NAVAL OCEANOGRAPHIC SURVEY AND RESEARCH IN THE

POST-COLD WAR PERIOD.

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: (1) Oceanographic research and survey work is a critical element to the ability of the Navy to conduct successful operations in littoral waters of the world.

(2) Over the five-year period of fiscal years 1989 through 1993, the Navy experienced a significant diminution in its

oceanographic research and survey capability due to budget

reductions that resulted in (A) a reduction in the level of

effort for Navy oceanographic research and survey activities

by almost 50 percent, and (B) a reduction from 12 to 7 in

the number of Navy ships dedicated to oceanographic survey

and research activities.

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

(1) reductions in the funding, activities, and capability of

the Navy to conduct oceanographic survey and research work,

in addition to the reductions referred to in subsection (a)(2),

would further reduce the level of oceanographic survey and

research work of the Navy and should be avoided; and

(2) funding for oceanographic survey and research activities

of the Navy should be maintained at levels sufficient to ensure

that the Navy can exploit every opportunity to survey and

research littoral waters critical to the operational needs of

the Navy.

SEC. 1163. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED STATES POLICY

ON PLUTONIUM.

(a) FINDING.—The Congress finds that reprocessing spent nuclear fuel referred to in subsection (c) to recover plutonium may

pose serious environmental hazards and increase the risk of proliferation of weapons-usable plutonium.

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

the President should take action to encourage the reduction or

cessation of the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel referred to in

subsection (c) to recover plutonium until the environmental and

proliferation concerns related to such reprocessing are resolved.

(c) COVERED SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL.—The spent nuclear fuel

referred to in subsections (a) and (b) is spent nuclear fuel used

in a commercial nuclear power reactor by the Government of a

foreign country or by a foreign-owned or foreign-controlled entity.

TITLE XIV—MATTERS RELATING TO

ALLIES AND OTHER NATIONS

Subtitle A—Defense Burden Sharing

SEC. 1401. DEFENSE BURDENS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:

(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the Department

of Defense has declined by 34 percent in constant fiscal year

1985 dollars.

(2) During the past few years, the United States military

presence overseas has declined significantly in the following

ways:

(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of United States

military personnel permanently stationed overseas has

declined by almost 200,000. (B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year 1994, spending

by the United States to support the stationing of United

States military forces overseas will have declined by 36

percent.

(C) Since January 1990, the Department of Defense

has announced the closure, reduction, or transfer to

standby status of 840 United States military facilities overseas, which is approximately a 50 percent reduction in

the number of such facilities.

(3) The United States military presence overseas will continue to decline as a result of actions by the executive branch

and as a result of the following provisions of law: (A) Section 1302 of the National Defense Authorization

Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which requires a 40 percent

reduction by September 30, 1996, in the number of United

States military personnel permanently stationed ashore

in overseas locations.

(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense Authorization

Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which provides that no more

than 100,000 United States military personnel may be

permanently stationed ashore in NATO member countries

after September 30, 1996.

(C) Section 1301 of the National Defense Authorization

Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which reduced the spending proposed by the Department of Defense for overseas basing

activities during fiscal year 1993 by $500,000,000.

(D) Sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, which

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00276 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—277

directed the President to develop a plan to gradually reduce

the United States military force structure in East Asia.

(4) The East Asia Strategy Initiative, which was developed

in response to sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, has resulted

in the withdrawal of 12,000 United States military personnel

from Japan and the Republic of Korea since fiscal year 1990.

(5) In response to actions by the executive branch and

the Congress, allied countries in which United States military

personnel are stationed and alliances in which the United

States participates have agreed to reduce the costs incurred

by the United States in basing military forces overseas in

the following ways:

(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures Agreement

between Japan and the United States, Japan will pay

by 1995 almost all yen-denominated costs of stationing

United States military personnel in Japan.

(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to pay by 1995

one-third of the won-based costs incurred by the United

States in stationing United States military personnel in

the Republic of Korea.

(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

has agreed that the NATO Infrastructure Program will

adapt to support post-Cold War strategy and could pay

the annual operation and maintenance costs of facilities

in Europe and the United States that would support the

reinforcement of Europe by United States military forces

and the participation of United States military forces in

peacekeeping and conflict prevention operations.

(D) Such allied countries and alliances have agreed

to share more fully the responsibilities and burdens of

providing for mutual security and stability through steps

such as the following:

(i) The Republic of Korea has assumed the leadership role regarding ground combat forces for the

defense of the Republic of Korea.

(ii) NATO has adopted the new mission of conducting peacekeeping operations and is, for example,

providing land, sea, and air forces for United Nations

efforts in the former Yugoslavia.

(iii) The countries of western Europe are contributing substantially to the development of democracy,

stability, and open market societies in eastern Europe

and the former Soviet Union.

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

(1) the forward presence of United States military personnel stationed overseas continues to be important to United

States security interests;

(2) that forward presence facilitates efforts to pursue

United States security interests on a collective basis rather

than pursuing them on a far more costly unilateral basis or

receding into isolationism;

(3) the bilateral and multilateral arrangements and alliances in which that forward presence plays a part must be

further adapted to the security environment of the post-Cold

War period;

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00277 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—278

(4) the cost-sharing percentages for the NATO Infrastructure Program should be reviewed with the aim of reflecting

current economic, political, and military realities and thus

reducing the United States cost-sharing percentage; and

(5) the amounts obligated to conduct United States overseas

basing activities should decline significantly in fiscal year 1994

and in future fiscal years as—

(A) the number of United States military personnel

stationed overseas continues to decline; and

(B) the countries in which United States military

personnel are stationed and the alliances in which the

United States participates assume an increased share of

United States overseas basing costs.

(c) REDUCING UNITED STATES OVERSEAS BASING COSTS.—(1)

In order to achieve additional savings in overseas basing costs,

the President should—

(A) continue with the reductions in United States military

presence overseas as required by sections 1302 and 1303 of

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993;

and

(B) intensify efforts to negotiate a more favorable hostnation agreement with each foreign country to which this paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).

(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a more favorable hostnation agreement is an agreement under which such foreign

country—

(A) assumes an increased share of the costs of United

States military installations in that country, including the costs

of—

(i) labor, utilities, and services;

(ii) military construction projects and real property

maintenance;

(iii) leasing requirements associated with the United

States military presence; and (iv) actions necessary to meet local environmental

standards;

(B) relieves the United States of all tax liability that,

with respect to forces located in that country, is incurred by

the Armed Forces of the United States under the laws of

that country and the laws of the community where those forces

are located; and

(C) ensures that goods and services furnished in that country to the Armed Forces of the United States are provided

at minimum cost and without imposition of user fees.

(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph (1)(B)

applies with respect to—

(i) each country of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization

(other than the United States); and

(ii) each other foreign country with which the United States

has a bilateral or multilateral defense agreement that provides

for the assignment of combat units of the Armed Forces of

the United States to permanent duty in that country or the

placement of combat equipment of the United States in that

country.

(B) Paragraph (1) does not apply with respect to—

(i) a foreign country that receives assistance under section

23 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2763) (relating

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00278 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06

to the foreign military financing program) or under the provisions of chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act

of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.); or

(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not later

than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of the

nonpersonnel costs of United States military installations in

the country.

(d) OBLIGATIONAL LIMITATION.—(1) The total amount appropriated to the Department of Defense for Military Personnel, for

Operation and Maintenance, and for military construction (including

construction and improvement of military family housing) that is

obligated to conduct overseas basing activities during fiscal year

1994 may not exceed $16,915,400,000 (such amount being the

amount appropriated for such purposes for fiscal year 1993 reduced

by $3,300,000,000), except to the extent provided by the Secretary

of Defense under paragraph (3).

(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ‘‘overseas basing

activities’’ means the activities of the Department of Defense for

which funds are provided through appropriations for Military

Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance (including appropriations

for family housing operations), and for military construction (including construction and improvement of military family housing) for

the payment of costs for Department of Defense overseas military

units and the costs for all dependents who accompany Department

of Defense personnel outside the United States.

(3) The Secretary of Defense may increase the amount of the

limitation under paragraph (1) by such amount or amounts as

the Secretary determines to be necessary in the national interest,

but not to exceed a total increase of $582,700,000. The Secretary

may not increase the amount of such limitation under the preceding

sentence until the Secretary provides notice to Congress of the

Secretary’s intent to authorize such an increase and a period of

15 days elapses after the day on which such notice is provided.

(e) ALLOCATIONS OF SAVINGS.—Any amounts appropriated to

the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 for the purposes

covered by subsection (d)(1) that are not available to be used for

those purposes by reason of the limitation in that subsection shall

be allocated by the Secretary of Defense for operation and maintenance and for military construction activities of the Department

of Defense at military installations and facilities located inside

the United States.

Subtitle B—North Atlantic Treaty

Organization

SEC. 1411. FINDINGS, SENSE OF CONGRESS, AND REPORT REQUIREMENT CONCERNING NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY

ORGANIZATION.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following findings: (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has

successfully met the challenge of helping to maintain the peace,

security, and freedom of the United States and its NATO allies

for more than 40 years. (2) The national security interests of the United States

have been well served by the process of consultation, coordination, and military cooperation in the NATO framework. (3) Recent history has witnessed radical changes in the

international security environment, including the fall of the

Berlin Wall, the unification of Germany, the disbanding of

the Warsaw Pact and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

(4) The military threats which NATO was established to

deter have greatly diminished with the end of the Cold War.

(5) The post-Cold War security situation continues to

present a wide array of challenges to United States national

interests, many of which interests the United States shares

with its allies in Europe and Canada.

(6) The international community may prove capable of

deterring many threats to the common peace if it can respond

decisively to aggression.

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00280 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—281

(7) The United States must share the responsibilities and

the burdens of pursuing international security and stability

with other nations.

(8) Several of the newly democratic nations of Central

and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have

expressed interest in seeking membership in NATO.

(9) Many of the security challenges facing the post-Cold

War world would be best handled through coherent multilateral

responses.

(10) The United States should never send its military forces

into combat unless they are provided with the best opportunity

to accomplish their objectives with as little risk as possible.

(11) Military interventions against antagonistic armed

forces cannot be conducted safely or effectively on a multilateral

basis unless such operations are jointly planned in advance

and are executed by units which have trained together and

are familiar with each others’ operational procedures.

(12) NATO is currently the only organization with the

experience, trained staff, and infrastructure necessary to support military cooperation with the major military allies of the

United States.

(13) The NATO allies already have volunteered to consider

requests from the United Nations and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe for assistance in maintaining

the peace.

(14) Justification of the relevance of NATO in the postCold War world will depend largely upon the alliance’s ability

to adapt its mission, area of responsibility, and procedures

to the new security environment. (15) Justification of future United States support for the

alliance and for a United States military presence in Europe

will depend upon NATO’s ability to address those security

interests which the United States shares with its allies in

Europe and Canada.

(16) The meeting of the NATO heads of state scheduled

for January 1994, presents an excellent opportunity for the

President to articulate a new, broader security mission for

the alliance in the post-Cold War world, one which will enable

it to address a wider array of threats to its members’ interests

and which will help to share more effectively the burden of

international security requirements.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) old threats to the security of the United States and

its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization having

greatly diminished, and new, more diverse challenges having

arisen (including ethno-religious conflict in Central and Eastern

Europe and the former Soviet Union and the proliferation of

weapons of mass destruction in regions proximate to alliance

territory), NATO’s mission must be redefined so that it may

respond to such challenges to its members’ security even when

those challenges emanate from beyond the geographic boundaries of its members’ territories;

(2) NATO should review its consultative mechanisms in

order to maximize its ability to marshal political, diplomatic,

social, and economic solidarity, buttressed by credible military

capability, and to bring the full weight and scope of its cooperative efforts to bear in addressing the new challenges; and

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00281 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—282

(3) future United States military involvement in, and contributions to, NATO should be determined in relation to the

alliance’s success or failure in adapting itself to confronting

the challenges of the post-Cold War world.

(c) REPORT.—Not later than 30 days after the date of the

enactment of this Act, the President shall transmit a report to

the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign

Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services

and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. The report shall contain recommendations on the following:

(1) The manner in which NATO can formulate and implement a strategy to address the new, more disparate threats

to the security of its members.

(2) The manner in which NATO should continue to adapt

its consultative process, including efforts to extend that process

to the new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe and

the former Soviet Union, so as to enhance its political, diplomatic, social, economic, and military efforts to project stability

eastward and maximize its capabilities in crisis prevention

and crisis management.

(3) The feasibility of having NATO conduct security operations beyond the geographic boundaries of the alliance.

(4) The manner in which NATO should restructure its

forces, training and equipment for the new security environment, including with regard to multinational peacekeeping

activities.

(5) The desirability of expanding the alliance to include

traditionally neutral nations or the new democratic nations

of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union

that wish to join NATO. (6) The proper size and composition of United States forces

to be deployed in Europe to assist in the implementation of

NATO’s new mandate and possible reduction in United States

military deployments in Europe in the event of the alliance’s

failure to adopt a new mandate.

(7) The structure and organization of NATO headquarters,

with particular attention to the need to reinvigorate the NATO

Military Committee. (8) The extent to which NATO liaison teams should be

assigned to the United Nations and the Conference on Security

and Cooperation in Europe so as to facilitate better coordination

among these organizations, especially in regard to crisis prevention and crisis management. (9) The desirability of having additional NATO forces train

in North America in a manner supportive of NATO’s proposed

new strategy.

(10) The structure of NATO’s military command, with

particular attention to the need to make NATO’s Rapid Reaction

Force a credible deterrent to regional aggression.

(11) The levels of United States, European, and Canadian

defense budgets and their ability to finance forces consistent

with the implementation of NATO’s new mandate.

SEC. 1423. EXTENSION OF LANDMINE EXPORT MORATORIUM.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following findings:

(1) Anti-personnel landmines, which are designed to maim

and kill people, have been used indiscriminately in dramatically

increasing numbers around the world. Hundreds of thousands

of noncombatant civilians, including children, have been the

primary victims. Unlike other military weapons, landmines

often remain implanted and undiscovered after conflict has

ended, causing massive suffering to civilian populations.

(2) Tens of millions of landmines have been strewn in

at least 62 countries, often making whole areas uninhabitable.

The Department of State estimates that there are more than

10,000,000 landmines in Afghanistan, 9,000,000 in Angola,

4,000,000 in Cambodia, 3,000,000 in Iraqi Kurdistan, and

2,000,000 each in Somalia, Mozambique, and the former Yugoslavia. Hundreds of thousands of landmines were used in conflicts in Central America in the 1980s.

(3) Advanced technologies are being used to manufacture

sophisticated mines which can be scattered remotely at a rate

of 1,000 per hour. These mines, which are being produced

by many industrialized countries, were found in Iraqi arsenals

after the Persian Gulf War.

(4) At least 300 types of anti-personnel landmines have

been manufactured by at least 44 countries, including the

United States. However, the United States is not a major

exporter of landmines. During the 10 years from 1983 through

1992, the United States approved 10 licenses for the commercial

export of anti-personnel landmines with a total value of

$980,000 and the sale under the Foreign Military Sales program

of 108,852 anti-personnel landmines.

(5) The United States signed, but has not ratified, the

1980 Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use

of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed To

Be Excessively Injurious or To Have Indiscriminate Effects.

Protocol II of the Convention, otherwise known as the Landmine

Protocol, prohibits the indiscriminate use of landmines.

(6) When it signed the 1980 Convention, the United States

stated: ‘‘We believe that the Convention represents a positive

step forward in efforts to minimize injury or damage to the

civilian population in time of armed conflict. Our signature

of the Convention reflects the general willingness of the United

States to adopt practical and reasonable provisions concerning

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00284 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—285

the conduct of military operations, for the purpose of protecting

noncombatants.’’.

(7) The United States also indicated that it had supported

procedures to enforce compliance, which were omitted from

the Convention’s final draft. The United States stated: ‘‘The

United States strongly supported proposals by other countries

during the Conference to include special procedures for dealing

with compliance matters, and reserves the right to propose

at a later date additional procedures and remedies, should

this prove necessary, to deal with such problems.’’.

(8) The lack of compliance procedures and other weaknesses

have significantly undermined the effectiveness of the Landmine Protocol. Since it entered into force on December 2, 1983,

the number of civilians maimed and killed by anti-personnel

landmines has multiplied.

(9) Since October 23, 1992, when a one-year moratorium

on sales, transfers, and exports by the United States of antipersonnel landmines was enacted into law (in section 1365

of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993

(Public Law 102–484; 22 U.S.C. 2778 note)), the European

Parliament has issued a resolution calling for a five year moratorium on sales, transfers, and exports of anti-personnel landmines and the Government of France has announced that it

has ceased all sales, transfers, and exports of anti-personnel

landmines.

(10) On December 2, 1993, 10 years will have elapsed

since the 1980 Convention entered into force, triggering the

right of any party to request a United Nations conference

to review the Convention. Amendments to the Landmine Protocol may be considered at that time. A formal request has

been made to the United Nations Secretary General for a

review conference. With necessary preparations and consultations among governments, a review conference is not expected

to be convened before late 1994 or early 1995. (11) The United States should continue to set an example

for other countries in such negotiations by extending the moratorium on sales, transfers, and exports of anti-personnel landmines for an additional three years. A moratorium of that

duration would extend the prohibition on the sale, transfer,

and export of anti-personnel landmines a sufficient time to

take into account the results of a United Nations review

conference.

(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.— (1) It is the policy of the United States to seek verifiable

international agreements prohibiting the sale, transfer or

export, and further limiting the manufacture, possession and

use, of anti-personnel landmines.

(2) It is the sense of the Congress that—

(A) the President should submit the 1980 Convention

on Certain Conventional Weapons to the Senate for ratification; and

(B) the United States should—

(i) participate in a United Nations conference to

review the Landmine Protocol; and

(ii) actively seek to negotiate under United Nations

auspices a modification of the Landmine Protocol, or

another international agreement, to prohibit the sale,

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00285 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—286

transfer, or export of anti-personnel landmines and

to further limit the manufacture, possession, and use

of anti-personnel landmines.

(c) THREE-YEAR EXTENSION OF LANDMINE MORATORIUM.—Section 1365(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal

Year 1993 (Public Law 102–484; 22 U.S.C. 2778 note) is amended

by striking out ‘‘For a period of one year beginning on the date

of the enactment of this Act’’ and inserting in lieu thereof ‘‘During

the four-year period beginning on October 23, 1992’’.

(d) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘antipersonnel landmine’’ means any of the following:

(1) Any munition placed under, on, or near the ground

or other surface area, or delivered by artillery, rocket, mortar,

or similar means or dropped from an aircraft and which is

designed to be detonated or exploded by the presence, proximity,

or contact of a person.

(2) Any device or material which is designed, constructed,

or adapted to kill or injure and which functions unexpectedly

when a person disturbs or approaches an apparently harmless

object or performs an apparently safe act.

(3) Any manually-emplaced munition or device designed

to kill, injure, or damage and which is actuated by remote

control or automatically after a lapse of time.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:

(1) The United States has been seeking to contain the

spread of nuclear weapons technology and materials.

(2) With the end of the Cold War and the breakup of

the Soviet Union, the proliferation of nuclear weapons is now

a leading military threat to the national security of the United

States and its allies.

(3) The United Nations Security Council declared on January 31, 1992, that ‘‘proliferation of all weapons of mass destruction constitutes a threat to international peace and security’’

and committed to taking appropriate action to prevent proliferation from occurring.

(4) Aside from the five declared nuclear weapon states,

a number of other nations have or are pursuing nuclear weapons capabilities.

(5) The IAEA is a valuable international institution to

counter proliferation, but the effectiveness of its system to

safeguard nuclear materials may be adversely affected by financial constraints.

(6) The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty codifies world

consensus against further nuclear proliferation and is scheduled

for review and extension in 1995.

(7) The Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978 declared that

the United States is committed to continued strong support

for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to a strengthened

and more effective IAEA, and established that it is United

States policy to establish more effective controls over the transfer of nuclear equipment, materials, and technology.

(b) COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION POLICY.—In

order to end nuclear proliferation and reduce current nuclear

arsenals and supplies of weapons-usable nuclear materials, it should

be the policy of the United States to pursue a comprehensive

policy to end the further spread of nuclear weapons capability,

roll back nuclear proliferation where it has occurred, and prevent

the use of nuclear weapons anywhere in the world, with the following additional objectives:

(1) Successful conclusion of all pending nuclear arms control and disarmament agreements with all the republics of

the former Soviet Union and their secure implementation.

(2) Full participation by all the republics of the former

Soviet Union in all multilateral nuclear nonproliferation efforts

and acceptance of IAEA safeguards on all their nuclear facilities.

(3) Strengthening of United States and international support to the IAEA so that the IAEA has the technical, financial,

and political resources to verify that countries are complying

with their nonproliferation commitments.

(4) Strengthening of nuclear export controls in the United

States and other nuclear supplier nations, impose sanctions

on individuals, companies, and countries which contribute to

nuclear proliferation, and provide increased public information

on nuclear export licenses approved in the United States.

(5) Reduction in incentives for countries to pursue the

acquisition of nuclear weapons by seeking to reduce regional

tensions and to strengthen regional security agreements, and

encourage the United Nations Security Council to increase its

role in enforcing international nuclear nonproliferation agreements.

(6) Support for the indefinite extension of the Nuclear

Non-Proliferation Treaty at the 1995 conference to review and

extend that treaty and seek to ensure that all countries sign

the treaty or participate in a comparable international regime

for monitoring and safeguarding nuclear facilities and materials.

(7) Reaching agreement with the Russian Federation to

end the production of new types of nuclear warheads.

(8) Pursuing, once the START I treaty and the START

II treaty are ratified by all parties, a multilateral agreement

to significantly reduce the strategic nuclear arsenals of the

United States and the Russian Federation to below the levels

of the START II treaty, with lower levels for the United Kingdom, France, and the People’s Republic of China.

(9) Reaching immediate agreement with the Russian Federation to halt permanently the production of fissile material

for weapons purposes, and working to achieve worldwide agreements to—

(A) end in the shortest possible time the production

of weapons-usable fissile material;

(B) place existing stockpiles of such materials under

bilateral or international controls; and

(C) require countries to place all of their nuclear facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes under IAEA safeguards.

(10) Strengthening IAEA safeguards to more effectively

verify that countries are complying with their nonproliferation

commitments and provide the IAEA with the political, technical,

and financial support necessary to implement the necessary

safeguard reforms.

weapon-grade plutonium from spent nuclear fuel; and

(2) is taking all practical steps to halt such separation

at the earliest possible date.

(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PLUTONIUM POLICY.—It is the sense

of Congress that a key objective of the United States with respect

to the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons should be to obtain

a clear and unequivocal commitment from the Government of Russia

that it will (1) cease all production and separation of weapongrade plutonium, and (2) halt chemical separation of plutonium

produced in civil nuclear power reactors.

SEC. 1613. NORTH KOREA AND THE TREATY ON THE NON-PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:

(1) The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, to which 156 states are party, is the cornerstone of the

international nuclear nonproliferation regime.

(2) Any nonnuclear weapon state that is a party to the

Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is obligated

to accept International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards on

all source or special fissionable material that is within its

territory, under its jurisdiction, or carried out under its control

anywhere.

(3) The International Atomic Energy Agency is permitted

to conduct inspections in a nonnuclear weapon state that is

a party to the Treaty at any site, whether or not declared

by that state, to ensure that all source or special fissionable

material in that state is under safeguards.

(4) North Korea acceded to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a nonnuclear weapons state in

December 1985.

(5) North Korea, after acceding to that Treaty, refused

until 1992 to accept International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards as required under the Treaty. (6) Inspections of North Korea’s nuclear materials by the

International Atomic Energy Agency suggested discrepancies

in North Korea’s declarations regarding special nuclear materials.

(7) North Korea has not given a scientifically satisfactory

explanation for those discrepancies.

(8) North Korea refused to provide International Atomic

Energy Agency inspectors with full access to two sites for

the purposes of verifying its compliance with the Treaty on

the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

(9) When called upon by the International Atomic Energy

Agency to provide such full access as required by the Treaty,

North Korea announced its intention to withdraw from the

Treaty, effective after the required three months notice.

(10) After intensive negotiations with the United States,

North Korea agreed to suspend its intention to withdraw from

the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and

begin consultations with the International Atomic Energy

Agency on providing access to its suspect sites.

(11) In an attempt to persuade North Korea to abandon

its nuclear weapons program, the United States has offered

to discuss with North Korea specific incentives that could be

provided for North Korea once (A) outstanding inspection issues

between North Korea and the International Atomic Energy

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00305 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—306

Agency are resolved, and (B) progress is made in bilateral

talks between North Korea and South Korea.

(b) CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENTS.—The Congress—

(1) notes that the continued refusal of North Korea nearly

eight years after ratification of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to fully accept International Atomic

Energy Agency safeguards raises serious questions regarding

a possible North Korean nuclear weapons program;

(2) notes that possession by North Korea of nuclear weapons (A) would threaten peace and stability in Asia, (B) would

jeopardize the existing nuclear non-proliferation regime, and

(C) would undermine the goal of the United States to extend

the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at

the 1995 review conference;

(3) urges continued pressure from the President, United

States allies, and the United Nations Security Council on North

Korea to adhere to the Treaty and provide full access to the

International Atomic Energy Agency in the shortest time

possible;

(4) urges the President, United States allies, and the United

Nations Security Council to press for continued talks between

North Korea and South Korea on denuclearization of the

Korean peninsula;

(5) urges that no trade, financial, or other economic benefits

be provided to North Korea by the United States or United

States allies until North Korea has (A) provided full access

to the International Atomic Energy Agency, (B) satisfactorily

explained any discrepancies in its declarations of bomb-grade

material, and (C) fully demonstrated that it does not have

or seek a nuclear weapons capability; and (6) calls on the President and the international community

to take steps to strengthen the international nuclear nonproliferation regime.

SEC. 1614. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE PROLIFERATION

OF SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: (1) The United States has joined with other nations in the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which restricts

the transfer of missiles or equipment or technology that could

contribute to the design, development, or production of missiles

capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction. (2) Missile technology is indistinguishable from, and interchangeable with, space launch vehicle technology. (3) Transfers of missile technology or space launch vehicle

technology cannot be safeguarded in a manner that would

provide timely warning of diversion for military purposes.

(4) It has been United States policy since agreeing to the

guidelines of the Missile Technology Control Regime to treat

the sale or transfer of space launch vehicle technology as restrictively as the sale or transfer of missile technology.

(5) Previous congressional action on missile proliferation,

notably title XVII of the National Defense Authorization Act

for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101–510; 104 Stat. 1738),

has explicitly supported the policy described in paragraph (4)

through such actions as the statutory definition of the term

‘‘missile’’ to mean ‘‘a category I system as defined in the MTCR

13:24 Nov 18, 1993 VerDate 16-NOV-93 Jkt 059200 PO 00000 Frm 00306 Fmt 6655 Sfmt 6501 E:\BILLS\H2401.ENR bend06
H. R. 2401—307

Annex, and any other unmanned delivery system of similar

capability, as well as the specially designed production facilities

for these systems’’.

(6) There is strong evidence that emerging national space

launch programs in the Third World are not economically

viable.

(7) The United States has been successful in dissuading

other countries from pursuing space launch vehicle programs

in part by offering to cooperate with those countries in other

areas of space science and technology.

(8) The United States has successfully dissuaded other

MTCR adherents, and countries who have agreed to abide

by MTCR guidelines, from providing assistance to emerging

national space launch programs in the Third World.

(b) STRICT INTERPRETATION OF MTCR.—The Congress supports

the strict interpretation by the United States of the Missile Technology Control Regime concerning—

(1) the inability to distinguish space launch vehicle technology from missile technology under the regime; and

(2) the inability to safeguard space launch vehicle technology in a manner that would provide timely warning of

the diversion of such technology to military purposes.

(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that

the United States Government and the governments of other nations

adhering to the Missile Technology Control Regime should be recognized by the international community for—

(1) the success of those governments in restricting the

export of space launch vehicle technology and of missile technology; and (2) the significant contribution made by the imposition

of such restrictions to reducing the proliferation of missile

technology capable of being used to deliver weapons of mass

destruction.

(d) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘Missile

Technology Control Regime’’ or ‘‘MTCR’’ means the policy statement,

between the United States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Canada, and Japan, announced on

April 16, 1987, to restrict sensitive missile-relevant transfers based

on the MTCR Annex, and any amendments thereto.

TITLE XXIX—DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE

AND REALIGNMENT

Subtitle A—Base Closure Community

Assistance

SEC. 2901. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:

(1) The closure and realignment of military installations

within the United States is a necessary consequence of the

end of the Cold War and of changed United States national

security requirements.

(2) A military installation is a significant source of employment for many communities, and the closure or realignment

of an installation may cause economic hardship for such communities.

(3) It is in the interest of the United States that the

Federal Government facilitate the economic recovery of communities that experience adverse economic circumstances as a

result of the closure or realignment of a military installation.

(4) It is in the interest of the United States that the

Federal Government assist communities that experience

adverse economic circumstances as a result of the closure of

military installations by working with such communities to

identify and implement means of reutilizing or redeveloping

such installations in a beneficial manner or of otherwise revitalizing such communities and the economies of such communities. (5) The Federal Government may best identify and implement such means by requiring that the head of each department

or agency of the Federal Government having jurisdiction over

a matter arising out of the closure of a military installation

under a base closure law, or the reutilization and redevelopment

of such an installation, designate for each installation to be

closed an individual in such department or agency who shall

provide information and assistance to the transition coordinator

for the installation designated under section 2915 on the assistance, programs, or other activities of such department or agency

with respect to the closure or reutilization and redevelopment

of the installation.

(6) The Federal Government may also provide such assistance by accelerating environmental restoration at military

installations to be closed, and by closing such installations,

in a manner that best ensures the beneficial reutilization and

redevelopment of such installations by such communities.

(7) The Federal Government may best contribute to such

reutilization and redevelopment by making available real and

personal property at military installations to be closed to

communities affected by such closures on a timely basis, and,

if appropriate, at less than fair market value.
