ENGINE. 
The Secretary of the Air Force may not enter into a 
contract for the sustainment, maintenance, repair, or over-
haul of the F117 engine until the Under Secretary of De-
fense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics certifies to 
the congressional defense committees that the Secretary of 
the Air Force has structured the contract in such a way 
that provides the Secretary of the Air Force the required 
insight into all aspects of F117 system, subsystem, compo-

cost, price, expected and actual service-life, and supply 
chain management data sufficient to determine that the 
Secretary of the Air Force is paying a fair and reasonable

haul as compared to the PW2000 commercial-derivative en-

pair, and overhaul in the private sector. The Secretary may

SEC. 352. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ACCESS TO TRAINING 
RANGES WITHIN UNITED STATES PACIFIC 
COMMAND AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Reliable access to military training ranges is 
an essential component of military readiness. 
(2) The training opportunities provided by mili-
tary training ranges are critical to maintaining the 
technical and operational superiority of the Armed 
Forces. 
(3) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review states 
that the operational readiness of the Armed Forces 
hinges on unimpeded access to land, air, and sea 
training and test space. 
(4) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review states 
that United States forces in the Asia-Pacific region 
‘‘will resume regular bilateral and multilateral train-
ing exercises, pursue increased training opportunities 
to improve capabilities and capacity of partner na-
tions, as well as support humanitarian, disaster re-
lief, counterterrorism, and other operations that con-
tribute to the stability of the region’’.

ranges, including the Pohakuloa Training Center in 
Hawaii, are located within the United States Pacific 
Command area of responsibility providing units from

all the military services, as well as allied and partner 
militaries with realistic joint and combined arms 
training opportunities. 
(6) Due to the ‘‘tyranny of distance’’ in the 
Asia-Pacific region, there are significant challenges in 
transporting equipment and personnel to the various 
military training ranges within the United States 
Pacific Command area of responsibility. 
(7) The Department of Defense continues a num-
ber of efforts aimed at preserving military training 
ranges, while also minimizing the environmental ef-
fects of training activities. 
(8) The Department of Defense has a variety of 
authorities that may be used to mitigate encroach-
ment on military testing and training missions. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of the findings 
specified in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that 
the Secretary of Defense should— 
(1) ensure that members of the Armed Forces 
continue to have reliable access to military training 
ranges; 
(2) optimize the use of multilateral, joint train-
ing facilities overseas in order to increase readiness 
and interoperability with allies and partners of the 
United States;
