SEC. 1222. HUMANITARIAN SUPPORT FOR IRAQI CHILDREN 
IN URGENT NEED OF MEDICAL CARE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) The Secretary of Defense has discretionary 
authority to permit space-available travel on military 
aircraft for various reasons, including humanitarian 
purposes. 
(2) Recently, 110 Iraqi children journeyed 22 
hours by bus from Baghdad, Iraq, to Amman, Jor-
dan, for urgently needed oral/facial surgery. While 
traveling, armed insurgents stopped and boarded the 
children’s bus, raising serious questions about the 
safety of further travel by ground. 
(3) Pursuant to the Secretary’s discretionary 
authority referred to in paragraph (1), the Secretary 
authorized the Iraqi children to travel on military 
aircraft for their return trip from Amman to Bagh-
dad. 
(4) The Secretary is to be commended for his 
initiative in providing for the safe return of these 
children to Iraq by military aircraft.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the Secretary of Defense should continue to 
provide space-available travel on military aircraft for hu-
manitarian reasons to Iraqi children who would otherwise 
have no means available to seek urgently needed medical 
care such as that provided by a humanitarian organization 
in Amman, Jordan. 
(c) FUNDING SUPPORT.—Within the amount pro-
vided in section 301 for Operation and Maintenance, De-
fense-wide— 
(1) $1,000,000 shall be available only for De-
partment of Defense support of the Peace Through 
Health Care Initiative; and 
(2) the amount provided for Budget Activity 4 
is reduced by $1,000,000 due to operational unobli-
gated balances. 
SEC. 1223. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING COOPERA-

(2) there does not exist strong enough engage-
ment between the United States and Russia with re-
spect to missile defense cooperation; 
(3) the United States should explore innovative 
and nontraditional means of cooperation with Russia 
on issues pertaining to missile defense; and 
(4) as part of such an effort, the Secretary of 
Defense should consider the possibilities for United 
States-Russian cooperation with respect to missile 
defense through— 
(A) the testing of specific elements of the 
detection and tracking equipment of the Missile 
Defense Agency of the United States Depart-
ment of Defense through the use of Russian 
target missiles; and 
(B) the provision of early warning radar to 
the Missile Defense Agency by the use of Rus-
sian radar data.

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Homeland Defense 
Technology Transfer Act of 2006’’. 
SEC. 1402. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Federal Government funds billions of 
dollars for research each year that has the potential 
to meet the needs of Federal, State, and local first 
responders, yet examples of successful technology 
transitions are few and far between. 
(2) Congress has made repeated efforts to au-
thorize the Department of Defense to effectively 
transfer its technologies to Federal, State, and local 
first responders. However, while progress has been 
made in implementing these authorities, this process 
can be significantly improved. 
(3) Although the Department of Defense Strat-
egy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support calls 
for active participation in an interagency process 
that improves interoperability and compatibility with 
public safety technologies and initiatives, greater 
participation is needed to ensure that all tech-
nologies used by the Department of Defense in their 
homeland defense mission are interoperable and 
compatible with standards being developed for public 
safety technologies.

(4) Even when technologies with promise have 
been identified, additional research and development 
efforts are needed to adapt these technologies into 
readily available, affordable products. No program 
with a sense of urgency to quickly produce results 
exists to bridge this gap. 
(5) Tragedies such as Hurricanes Katrina and 
Rita demonstrate the need for prompt, decisive ac-
tion by Congress to solve a problem that has eluded 
attempts by the Department of Defense to solve. 
(6) Legislation is needed to codify the process 
for effectively moving and adapting needed tech-
nologies from the Department of Defense to Federal, 
State, and local first responders so that the lives of 
the American public and emergency responders are 
protected to the maximum extent possible. 
SEC. 1403. CREATION OF HOMELAND DEFENSE TECH-
NOLOGY TRANSFER CONSORTIUM. 
(a) AUTHORIZATION OF CONSORTIUM.—In order to 
improve the speed and effectiveness of identifying, evalu-
ating, deploying, and transferring to Federal, State, and 
local first responders technology items and equipment in 
support of homeland security as required by section 1401 
of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107–314; 50 U.S.C. 2312

note) and work towards interoperability and compatibility 
of inter-agency homeland defense and security tech-
nologies, it is urgent that the technology adaptation and 
transfer process be consistent within the Department of 
Defense. Towards that end, the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, is 
authorized to create a Homeland Defense–Homeland Se-
curity Technology Transfer Consortium. 
(b) COMPOSITION OF CONSORTIUM.—To contribute 
to the rapid development and adoption of new technologies 
needed to ensure the safety of the United States public 
and the welfare of emergency service providers, the Home-
land Defense–Homeland Security Technology Transfer 
Consortium shall be composed of— 
(1) organizations and entities working with the 
Department of Defense; 
(2) the Department of Homeland Security; 
(3) Federal, State, and local first responders; 
and 
(4) other relevant Federal agencies with estab-
lished expertise in identifying, assessing, testing, 
evaluating, and training emergency response and 
other public safety entities.

(A) the process for the identification, as-
sessment, adaptation, and transition of defense 
technologies that have the potential to enhance 
public safety and improve homeland security, 
thereby assisting the Department of Defense in 
meeting its statutory obligation to identify, 
evaluate, deploy, and transfer to Federal, State, 
and local first responders technology items and 
equipment of homeland security; and 
(B) the process of coordinating and acting 
as liaison on behalf of the Department of De-
fense and the Department of Homeland Secu-
rity with other Federal agencies as appropriate 
to collect and prioritize Federal, State, and 
local first responder technology requirements al-
ready gathered by those entities. 
(2) FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS.—The Con-
sortium shall submit recommendations to the Sec-
retary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland 
Security for funding for the development, adapta-
tion, test and evaluation, or other needed activities 
for any technology identified under paragraph (1)

ards being developed for technologies used by Fed-
