SEC. 1057. LIMITATION ON NUCLEAR FORCE REDUCTIONS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) As of September 30, 2009, the stockpile of 
nuclear weapons of the United States has been re-
duced by 84 percent from its maximum level in 1967 
and by more than 75 percent from its level when the 
Berlin Wall fell in November, 1989. 
(2) The number of non-strategic nuclear weap-
ons of the United States has declined by approxi-
mately 90 percent from September 30, 1991, to Sep-
tember 30, 2009. 
(3) In 2002, the United States announced plans 
to reduce its number of operationally deployed stra-
tegic nuclear warheads to between 1,700 and 2,200 
by December 31, 2012. 
(4) The United States plans to further reduce 
its stockpile of deployed strategic nuclear warheads 
to 1,550 during the next 7 years. 
(5) The United States plans to further reduce 
its deployed ballistic missiles and heavy bombers to 
700 and its deployed and non-deployed launchers 
and heavy bombers to 800 during the next 7 years. 
(6) Beyond these plans for reductions, the Nu-
clear Posture Review of April 2010 stated that, ‘‘the 
President has directed a review of potential future 
reductions in U.S. nuclear weapons below New

START levels. Several factors will influence the 
magnitude and pace of such reductions.’’. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) any reductions in the nuclear forces of the 
United States should be supported by a thorough as-
sessment of the strategic environment, threat, and 
policy and the technical and operational implications 
of such reductions; and 
(2) specific criteria are necessary to guide fu-
ture decisions regarding further reductions in the 
nuclear forces of the United States. 
(c) LIMITATION.—No action may be taken to imple-
ment the reduction of nuclear forces of the United States 
below the levels described in paragraphs (4) and (5) of 
subsection (a), unless— 
(1) the Secretary of Defense and the Adminis-
trator for Nuclear Security jointly submit to the con-
gressional defense committees a report on such re-
duction, including— 
(A) the justification for such reduction; 
(B) an assessment of the strategic environ-
ment, threat, and policy and the technical and 
operational implications of such reduction;

(ii) such reduction preserves the nu-
clear deterrent capabilities of the ‘‘nuclear 
triad’’ (intercontinental ballistic missiles, 
ballistic missile submarines, and heavy 
bombers and dual-capable aircraft); 
(iii) such reduction does not require a

geting;

modernization of the People’s Republic of China, Iran, 
North Korea, and Russia. 
SEC. 1060. ELECTRONIC ACCESS TO CERTAIN CLASSIFIED

The Secretary of Defense shall provide to each com-
mittee of Congress an electronic communications link to 
classified information in the possession of the Department 
of Defense pertaining to a subject matter that is in the 
jurisdiction of such committee under the Rules of the 
House of Representatives or the Standing Rules of the

the Secretary of State ‘‘should work with the Gov-
ernment of Iraq on a state-to-state basis to ensure 
compensation for any meritorious claims based on 
terrorist acts committed by the Saddam Hussein re-
gime against individuals who were United States na-
tionals or members of the United States Armed 
Forces at the time of those terrorist acts and whose 
claims cannot be addressed in courts in the United 
States due to the exercise of the waiver authority’’ 
provided to the President under section 1083(d) of 
that Act. 
(2) The House of Representatives in the 110th 
Congress unanimously adopted H.R. 5167, the Jus-
tice for Victims of Torture and Terrorism Act, which 
set forth an appropriate compromise of the claims 
described in paragraph (1). 
(3) The National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010 (in section 1079) further ex-
pressed the sense of Congress that these claims of 
American victims of torture and hostage taking by 
Iraq ‘‘should be resolved by a prompt and fair settle-
ment negotiated between the Government of Iraq 
and the Government of the United States, taking 
note of the provisions of H.R. 5167 of the 110th

Congress, which was adopted by the United States 
House of Representatives’’. 
(4) Pursuant to these congressional actions, the 
Secretary of State has diligently pursued these nego-
tiations with the Government of Iraq. To date, how-
ever, more than 3 years after the enactment of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2008, and nearly a year after the enactment of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2010, there has been no resolution of these claims 
of injured Americans, despite the resolution by Iraq 
of claims of foreign corporations against the Saddam 
Hussein regime. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the claims of American victims of torture and 
hostage taking by the Government of Iraq during the re-
gime of Saddam Hussein that are subject to Presidential 
Determination Number 2008–9 of January 28, 2008, 
which waived application of section 1083 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, should 
be resolved by a prompt and fair settlement negotiated be-
tween the Government of Iraq and the Government of the 
United States.

Armed Forces, just as they serve to protect and de-
fend the freedoms of the United States; 
(9) a presidential letter of condolence is not 
only about the deceased because it also serves as a 
sign of respect for the grieving family and an ac-
knowledgment of the family for their personal loss; 
and 
(10) a lack of acknowledgment and condolence 
from the President only leaves these families with an 
emotional vacuum and a feeling that somehow their 
sacrifices have been less than the sacrifices of oth-
ers. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the current policy that prohibits sending a 
presidential letter of condolence to the family of a 
member of the Armed Forces who has died by sui-
cide only serves to perpetuate the stigma of mental 
illness that pervades the Armed Forces; and 
(2) the President, as Commander-in-Chief, 
should overturn the policy and treat all military fam-
ilies equally.

Fat to Fight’’, more than 100 retired generals and 
admirals wrote that, ‘‘[o]besity among children and 
young adults have increased so dramatically that 
they threaten not only the overall health of America 
but the future strength of our military.’’. 
(2) Twenty-seven percent, over 9,000,000, 17– 
24-year-olds in the United States are too fat to serve 
in the military. 
(3) Between 1995 and 2008, the military had 
140,000 individuals who showed up at the centers 
for processing but failed their entrance physicals be-
cause they were too heavy. 
(4) Being overweight is now the leading medical 
reason for rejection from military service. 
(5) Between 1995 and 2008, the proportion of 
potential recruits who failed their physicals each 
year because they were overweight rose nearly 70 
percent. 
(6) The military annually discharges over 1,200 
first-term enlistees before their contracts are up be-
cause of weight problems.

(7) The military must then recruit and train 
their replacements at a cost of $50,000 for each 
man or woman. 
(8) Training replacements for those discharged 
because of weight problems adds up to more than 
$60,000,000 annually. 
(9) Overweight adolescents are more likely to 
become overweight adults. 
(10) Overweight adolescents and overweight 
adults are at risk of developing obesity-related, life- 
threatening diseases including cancer, type 2 diabe-
tes, stroke, heart disease, arthritis, and breathing 
problems. 
(11) According to the American Public Health 
Association, ‘‘left unchecked, obesity will add nearly 
$344 billion to the nations annual health care costs 
by 2018 and account for more than 21 percent of 
health care spending’’. 
(12) Overweight and undernourished adoles-
cents face academic challenges due to poor health 
behaviors, resulting in even greater risk to their fu-
ture health and earing and the Nation’s economic 
growth and worldwide competition.

(13) For decades military leaders have cham-
pioned efforts to improve the nutrition of young peo-
ple in America. 
(14) During World War II, 40 percent of re-
jected recruits were turned away because of poor or 
under nutrition. 
(15) The preamble to the Richard B. Russell 
National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751) states 
‘‘It is hereby declared to be the policy of Congress, 
as a measure of national security, to safeguard the 
health and well-being of the Nation’s children and to 
encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious 
agricultural commodities and other food, by assisting 
the States, through grants in aid and other means, 
in providing an adequate supply of food and other 
facilities for the establishment, maintenance, oper-
ation and expansion of nonprofit school lunch pro-
grams’’. 
(16) Over 17 million children were food inse-
cure, or hungry, in 2008, according to data collected 
by the Department of Agriculture. 
(17) The Federal Child Nutrition Programs 
under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch 
Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) and the Child Nutri-
tion Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.) are prov-

en to be effective in combating both hunger and obe-
sity. 
(18) President Obama has called for a historic 
investment in the Federal Child Nutrition Programs 
in order to respond to 2 of the greatest child health 
challenges of our time, hunger and poor nutrition. 
(19) Two hundred twenty-one Members of Con-
gress signed a letter to Speaker Pelosi in support of 
President Obama’s budget request for the Federal 
Child Nutrition Programs. 
(20) This same letter requested identification of 
possible offsets for the new investments in these im-
portant anti-hunger and nutrition programs. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) reducing domestic childhood obesity and 
hunger is a matter of national security; 
(2) obesity and hunger will continue to nega-
tively impact recruitment for Armed Forces without 
access to physical activity, healthy food, and proper 
nutrition; 
(3) Congress should act to reduce childhood 
obesity and hunger;

REGARDING 
REC-

TARY INSTALLATIONS. 
It is the sense of the Congress that— 
(1) military installations that permit public ac-

propriate; 
(2) permitting the public to access military in-
stallations for recreational hunting and fishing bene-
fits local communities by conserving and promoting 
the outdoors and establishing positive relations be-
tween the civilian and defense sectors; 
(3) any military installations that make rec-
reational hunting and fishing permits available for 
purchase should provide a discounted rate for active 
and retired members of the Armed Forces and vet-
erans with disabilities; and

(3) Over 90 percent of Department of Defense 
funds for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have 
been provided as emergency funds in supplemental 
or additional appropriations. 
(4) The Congressional Budget Office and the 
Congressional Research Service have stated that fu-
ture war costs are difficult to estimate because the 
Department of Defense provides little information on 
costs incurred to date, does not report outlays or ac-
tual expenditures for war because war and baseline 
funds are mixed in the same accounts, and because 
of a lack of information from the Department of De-
fense on many of the key factors that determine 
costs, including personnel levels or the pace of oper-
ations. 
(5) Over 2 million United States troops have 
served in Iraq and Afghanistan since the beginning 
of the conflicts. 
(6) Over 4,400 United States troops and De-
partment of Defense civilian personnel have been 
killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom and over 1,060 
United States troops and Department of Defense ci-
vilian personnel have been killed in Operation En-
during Freedom.

(7) Over 1,340 service members have suffered 
amputations as a result of their service in Iraq and 
Afghanistan. 
(8) More than 243,685 Iraq and Afghanistan 
veterans have been treated for mental health condi-
tions, more than 129,654 Iraq and Afghanistan vet-
erans have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic 
Stress Disorder, and approximately 30,000 have a 
confirmed Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis. 
(9) Approximately 46 percent of Iraq and Af-
ghanistan veterans have sought treatment at De-
partment of Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics. 
(10) The Independent Review Group on Reha-
bilitative Care and Administrative Processes at Wal-
ter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval 
Medical Center identified Traumatic Brain Injury, 
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, increased survival 
of severe burns, and traumatic amputations as the 
four signature wounds of the current conflicts. 
(11) The Independent Review Group report also 
states that the recovery process ‘‘can take months or 
years and must accommodate recurring or delayed 
manifestations of symptoms, extended rehabilitation 
and all the life complications that emerge over time 
from such trauma’’.
