Shipyard for her final voyage on April 9, 1963, with 
a crew of 16 officers, 96 sailors, and 17 civilians.

naval submarine service, military and civilian, in the 
protection of the United States. 
(4) At approximately 7:47 a.m. on April 10, 
1963, while in communication with the surface ship 
U.S.S. Skylark, and approximately 220 miles off the 
coast of New England, U.S.S. Thresher began her 
final descent. 
(5) U.S.S. Thresher was declared lost with all 
hands on April 10, 1963. 
(6) In response to the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, the

sure the health of the submariners and the safety of 
the submarines of the United States.

gram (SUBSAFE), now one of the most comprehen-
sive military safety programs in the world. 
(8) SUBSAFE has kept the submariners of the 
United States safe at sea ever since as the strongest, 
safest submarine force in history. 
(9) Since the establishment of SUBSAFE, no 
SUBSAFE-certified submarine has been lost at sea, 
which is a legacy owed to the brave individuals who 
perished aboard U.S.S. Thresher. 
(10) From the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, there 
arose in the institutions of higher education in the 
United States the ocean engineering curricula that 
enables the preeminence of the United States in sub-
marine warfare. 
(11) The crew of U.S.S. Thresher demonstrated 
the ‘‘last full measure of devotion’’ in service to the 
United States, and this devotion characterizes the sac-
rifices of all submariners, past and present. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 
(1) recognizes the 51st anniversary of the sinking 
of U.S.S. Thresher; 
(2) remembers with profound sorrow the loss of 
U.S.S. Thresher and her gallant crew of sailors and 
civilians on April 10, 1963; and

(iv) consulted regularly with and was 
highly-regarded by the uniformed military; 
and working tenaciously to strengthen the 
morale of the military following the United 
States withdrawal from Vietnam and to 
stem the defense budget cuts in that chal-
lenging period. 
(7) In light of his realistic views of the Soviet 
Union’s power and intentions, Dr. Schlesinger was 
invited to China as a private citizen in 1975 at the 
personal request of Mao Zedong, Chairman of the 
Chinese Communist Party, and upon Mao’s death, 
was the only foreigner invited by the Chinese leader-
ship to lay a wreath at Mao’s bier. 
(8) In 1976, President-elect Jimmy Carter in-
vited Dr. Schlesinger to serve as his special advisor 
on energy during the difficult period of oil embargoes 
and fuel shortages to establish a national energy pol-
icy and create the charter for the Department of En-
ergy and subsequently to serve President Carter as the 
first Secretary of Energy, successfully initiating new 
conservation standards, gradual oil and natural gas 
deregulation, and unifying the nation’s approach to 
energy policy with national security considerations.

SEC. 1079. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING COUNTER-IM-
PROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) counter-improvised explosive device tactics, 
techniques, and procedures used in Iraq and Afghani-
stan have produced important technical data, lessons 
learned, and enduring technology critical to miti-
gating the devastating effects of improvised explosive 
devices, which have been the leading cause of combat 
fatalities in the United States Central Command area 
of operations since 2002, and whose use are now ex-
panding to other Global Combatant Commands area 
of operations; 
(2) without the preservation of knowledge about 
counter-improvised explosive devices, the Nation could 
fail to take full advantage of the hard earned lessons 
and investments of the past decade of counter-impro-
vised 
explosive 
device 
operations 
to 
enhance 
warfighter readiness; and 
(3) the Department of Defense should remain 
dedicated to retaining a knowledge base relating to 
counter-improvised explosive devices to ensure lessons 
learned and investments are maximized for future 
benefits.
