SEC. 223. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF ALIGN-
ING COMMON MISSILE COMPARTMENT OF 
OHIO-CLASS REPLACEMENT PROGRAM WITH 
THE UNITED KINGDOM’S VANGUARD SUC-
CESSOR PROGRAM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Polaris Sales Agreement of 1963 for-
mally arranged for the Polaris missile system to be 
purchased by the United Kingdom for its sub-
marines. It was extended in 1982 to include the Tri-
dent missile system and this agreement continues to 
underpin the independent nuclear deterrent of the 
United Kingdom. 
(2) April 2013 marked the 50-year anniversary 
of the agreement. 
(3) Since the inception of the agreement, the 
agreement has been a tremendous success and pro-
vided great benefits to both nations by creating
major cost savings, stronger nuclear deterrence, and 
a stronger alliance. 
(4) The Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine 
replacement of the United States and the Vanguard- 
class ballistic missile successor of the United King-
dom will share a common missile compartment and 
the Trident II/D5 strategic weapon system. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
the Navy should make every effort to ensure that the com-
mon missile compartment associated with the Ohio-class 
ballistic missile submarine replacement program stays on

gram of the United Kingdom in order for the United 
States to fulfill its longstanding commitment to our ally 
and partner in sea-based strategic deterrence. 
SEC. 224. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COUNTER-ELECTRONICS 
HIGH POWER MICROWAVE MISSILE PROJECT. 
It is the sense of the Congress that— 
(1) following the successful joint technology ca-
pability demonstration that the counter-electronics 
high power microwave missile project (in this section 
referred to as ‘‘CHAMP’’) conducted last year, the 
Air Force should examine the results of the dem-
onstration and consider the demonstration as a po-
tential solution during any analysis of alternatives 
conducted in 2014; 
(2) an analysis of alternatives is an important 
step in the long term-term development of a high 
power microwave weapon; 
(3) additionally, a near-term option may be 
available to get such capability to commanders of 
the combatant commands should the capability be 
required; 
(4) the Secretary of the Air Force should pur-
sue both near- and long-term high power microwave 
weapon systems; 
(5) CHAMP could be developed as a cruise mis-
sile delivered weapon with target availability to com-
manders of the combatant commands by 2016; and 
(6) such development should not prohibit or di-
vert resources from an analysis of alternatives and 
long-term development of a high power microwave 
weapon.

SEC. 232. ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SITE IN THE 
UNITED STATES FOR OPTIMIZED PROTEC-
TION OF THE HOMELAND. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) President George W. Bush and President 
Barack Obama have each recognized the necessity 
for an additional measure of protection–beyond mis-
sile defense sites in Alaska and California–for de-
fending the United States against intercontinental 
ballistic missile (ICBM) threats emanating from the 
Middle East. 
(2) General Jacoby, the Commander of the 
United States Northern Command, testified before 
Congress that ‘‘we should consider that Iran has a 
capability within the next few years of flight testing
ICBM capable technologies’’ and that ‘‘the Iranians 
are intent on developing an ICBM’’. 
(3) General Kehler, the Commander of the 
United States Strategic Command, testified before 
Congress that ‘‘I am confident that we can defend 
against a limited attack from Iran, although we are 
not in the most optimum posture to do that today 
* * * it doesn’t provide total defense today’’. 
(4) General Jacoby also testified before Con-
gress that ‘‘I would agree that a third site, wherever 
the decision is to build a third site, would give me 
better weapons access, increased GBI inventory and 
allow us the battle space to more optimize our de-
fense against future threats from Iran and North 
Korea’’. 
(5) Section 227 of the National Defense Au-
thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 
112–239; 126 Stat. 1678) directs the Missile De-
fense Agency— 
(A) to conduct environmental impact stud-
ies for three potential locations for an addi-
tional missile defense site capable of protecting 
the homeland; and
(B) to develop a contingency plan in case 
the President determines to proceed with de-
ployment of such an additional site. 
(6) According the Missile Defense Agency, the 
cost to deploy up to 20 ground-based interceptors 
(GBIs) at a new missile defense site on the East 
Coast of the United States is approximately 
$3,000,000,000 and would require approximately 5 
to 6 years to complete. 
(b) ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SITE.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Missile Defense Agency 
shall construct and make operational in fiscal year 
2018 an additional homeland missile defense site ca-
pable of protecting the homeland, designed to com-
plement existing sites in Alaska and California, to 
deal more effectively with the long-range ballistic 
missile threat from the Middle East. 
(2) REQUIREMENT IN ADDITION TO OTHER RE-
QUIRED ACTIVITIES REGARDING MISSILE DEFENSE 
SITES.—The Missile Defense Agency shall carry out 
the requirement in paragraph (1) to construct and 
deploy an additional homeland missile defense site 
(including any advance procurement and engineering 
and design in connection with such site) while con-
tinuing to meet the requirement to prepare environ-
mental impact statements and a contingency plan 
under section 227 of the National Defense Author-
ization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 for the missile de-
fense sites described in that section. 
(3) REPORT.—Not later than 180 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director 
of the Missile Defense Agency shall submit to Con-
gress a report on the missile defense site required to 
be constructed and deployed under paragraph (1).

that— 
(1) the missile defenses of the United States 
provide defense against multiple threats, including 
threats to the United States, allies of the United 
States, and the deployed forces of the United States; 
and
(2) the elimination of one threat, for example 
the illegal nuclear weapons program of a rogue 
state, does not eliminate the reason the United 
States deploys missile defenses to a particular re-
gion, including to defend allies of the United States 
and deployed forces of the United States from other 
regional threats. 
(b) LIMITATION.—Except as provided by subsection 
(c) or (d), none of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year

United States located in East Asia are no 
longer needed. 
(c) WAIVER.—The President may waive the limita-
tion in subsection (b) with respect to removing missile de-
fense equipment of the United States from East Asia if— 
(1) the President submits to the congressional 
defense committees— 
(A) a certification that such waiver is in 
the national security interest of the United 
States; and 
(B) a report, in unclassified form, explain-
ing— 
(i) why the President cannot make a

SEC. 239. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PROCUREMENT OF CA-
PABILITY 
ENHANCEMENT 
II 
EXOATMOSPHERIC KILL VEHICLE. 
It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of De-
fense should not procure a Capability Enhancement II 
exoatmospheric kill vehicle for deployment until after the 
date on which a successful operational flight test of the 
Capability Enhancement II ground-based interceptor has 
occurred unless such procurement is for test assets or to 
maintain a warm line for the industrial base. 
SEC. 240. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF 
THE STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) President Ronald Reagan in March 1983, in 
a speech from the oval office, laid the corner stone
for a long-term research and development program 
to begin to achieve our ultimate goal of eliminating 
the threat posed by strategic nuclear missiles. 
(2) President Reagan stated, ‘‘I’ve become more 
and more deeply convinced that the human spirit 
must be capable of rising above dealing with other 
nations and human beings by threatening their ex-
istence * * * What if free people could live secure 
in the knowledge that their security did not rest 
upon the threat of instant United States retaliation 
to deter a Soviet attack, that we could intercept and 
destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they 
reached our own soil or that of our allies?’’. 
(3) The Strategic Defense Initiative, also 
known as ‘‘Star Wars’’, challenged the nation to ac-
complish the impossible by moving beyond the obvi-
ous possibilities of the day to set the United States 
and our allies up for success. 
(4) In 1999, the Ballistic Missile Defense Orga-
nization (BMDO), National Missile Defense (NMD) 
prototype interceptor successfully demonstrated ‘‘hit- 
to-kill’’ technology intercepting a modified Minute-
man intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). 
(5) Congress passed the National Missile De-
fense Act of 1999 (Public Law 106–38) (signed by
President Clinton), which stated, ‘‘It is the policy of 
the United States to deploy, as soon as is techno-
logically possible, an effective National Missile De-
fense system capable of defending the territory of 
the United States against limited ballistic missile at-
tack (whether accidental, unauthorized, or delib-
erate)’’. 
(6) On December 13, 2001, President George 
W. Bush announced ‘‘I have concluded the ABM 
treaty hinders our government’s ability to develop 
ways to protect our people from future terrorist or 
rogue state missile attacks’’. 
(7) Russian President Vladimir Putin said the 
move was ‘‘not a threat to the security of the Rus-
sian Federation’’. 
(8) Since 2001, the United States has deployed 
considerable Missile Defense capability: 30 ground- 
based interceptors defending the continental U.S. 
today; 32 Aegis BMD ships; 113 SM–3 IA intercep-
tors; 25 SM–3 IB interceptors; 3 THAAD batteries 
and 89 interceptors; and 8 AN/TPY–2 forward- 
based sensors. 
(9) The United States has partnerships with 22 
nations, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO), for missile defense cooperation. Likewise,
India and South Korea are developing missile de-
fenses and the Russian Federation and People’s Re-
public of China are also developing and improving 
missile defenses. 
(10) Since 2001 when they began development, 
United States missile defenses have had a test 
record of 58 of 73 hit-to-kill intercept attempts and 
have been successful across all programs of the inte-
grated system, including Aegis Ballistic Missile De-
fense (BMD), Ground-based Midcourse Defense 
(GMD), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense 
(THAAD), and PATRIOT Advanced Capability–3. 
(11) In July of 2004, the United States missile 
defense system was declared operational with limited 
capability. Since that time, it has offered defense 
against limited threats to the continental United 
States. 
(12) The United States has cooperatively devel-
oped with our Israeli allies a number of missile de-
fense systems including Arrow, Arrow 3 and David’s 
Sling, systems which will protector our Israeli allies 
and contribute technology and expertise to United 
States systems. 
(13) The United States in support of NATO 
deployed a Patriot missile battery to defend the pop-
ulation and territory of Turkey and provide material 
support for Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty 
in the event of spillover from the Syrian civil war 
and has deployed Phase I of the European Phased 
Adaptive Approach, which includes a transportable 
x-band radar array and an on-station AEGIS bal-
listic missile defense ship armed with Standard Mis-
sile 3 block IA missile interceptors. 
(14) When United States territory, deployed 
forces and allies were threatened by North Korean 
ballistic missiles the United States had the oper-
ational capability and national will to deploy 
THAAD units to Guam to provide a defensive 
shield. 
(15) The United States continues to work joint-
ly with Japan to improve the Navy Aegis Ballistic 
Missile Defense (BMD) which in addition to pro-
viding missile defense in the Pacific is also a key-
stone in the Phased Adaptive Approach for Euro-
pean missile defense. 
(16) On-going research and development under 
the auspices of the Missile Defense Agency will con-
tinue to expand the technology envelope to deploy a 
layered missile defense system capable of defending 
the homeland, our military forces deployed overseas,
friendly nations and our allies against all ballistic 
missiles from launch and orbit to reentry. 
(17) A credible ballistic missile defense system 
is critical to the national defense of the United 
States. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 
(1) recognizes the inspiring leadership of Presi-
dent Ronald Reagan to ‘‘maintain the peace through 
strength’’; 
(2) recognizes the enduring obligation President 
as Commander in Chief to‘‘ preserve, protect, and 
defend the Constitution’’; 
(3) commemorates the vision of President 
Reagan on the 30th anniversary of the Strategic De-
fense Initiative; 
(4) believes that it is imperative that the United 
States continue fielding a robust missile defense sys-
tem, including additional ground based interceptors; 
and 
(5) commits to supporting continued invest-
ments in future missile defense capabilities and 
emerging technologies such as directed energy and 
railguns.
SEC. 241. READINESS OF INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC 
MISSILE FORCE. 
The Secretary of Defense shall preserve each inter-
continental ballistic missile silo that contains a deployed 
missile as of the date of the enactment of this Act in, at 
minimum, a warm status that enables such silo to— 
(1) remain a fully functioning element of the 
interconnected and redundant command and control 
system of the missile field; and 
(2) be made fully operational with a deployed 
missile. 
SEC. 242. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NEGOTIATIONS AFFECT-
ING THE MISSILE DEFENSES OF THE UNITED 
STATES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) On April 15, 2013, the National Security 
Advisor to the President, Tom Donilon, conveyed a 
personal letter from President Obama to the Presi-
dent of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. 
(2) Press reports indicate that in this letter the 
President proposed, ‘‘developing a legally-binding 
agreement on transparency, which would include ex-
change of information to confirm that our programs 
do not pose a threat to each other’s deterrence 
forces,’’ through ‘‘a so-called executive agreement,
for which [the President] does not need to seek the 
consent of Congress.’’. 
(3) The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, 
Sergei Ryabkov, stated in response to the letter that, 
‘‘the proposals of the U.S. side on the issue are 
quite concrete and are related in a certain way to 
the discussions our countries had at various levels in 
the past years. And it cannot be said from this point 
of view that the offers are decorative and not seri-
ous. No, I want to emphasize that we are commit-
ting to the seriousness of these proposals but we 
note their insufficiency.’’. 
(4) Press reports indicate that the Secretary of 
the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, 
conveyed a response to the letter from President 
Putin. 
(5) President Obama’s proposed deal with Rus-
sian President Putin has been kept secret from Con-
gress and the American people. 
(6) The Administration has systematically de-
nied Congress information about past offers of 
United States missile defense concessions to Russia, 
including written requests from Members of the 
House of Representatives.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the President should promptly convey to 
Congress the details of any proposed deals with the 
Russian Federation concerning the missile defenses 
or nuclear arms of the United States; and 
(2) the missile defenses of the United States 
are central to the defense of the homeland from bal-
listic missile threats, particularly if nuclear deter-
rence fails, thus such defenses are not something 
that the President should continue to trade away for 
the prospects of nuclear arms reductions with Rus-
sia, the People’s Republic of China, or any other for-
eign country.
