SEC. 112. REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN NAVY AIRBORNE SIGNALS 
INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE 
CAPABILITIES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Navy terminated the EP–X program to acquire 
a new land-based airborne signals intelligence capability 
because of escalating costs and funds budgeted for the program 
were re-allocated to other priorities. 
(2) The Navy took this action without planning and budg-
eting for alternative means to meet operational requirements 
for tactical-level and theater-level signals intelligence capabili-
ties to support the combatant commands and national intel-
ligence consumers. 
(3) The principal Navy airborne signals intelligence capa-
bility today is the EP–3E Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated 
Electronic System II (ARIES II)—the aircraft and associated 
electronic equipment of this system are aging and will require
H. R. 6523—17 
replacement or substantial ongoing upgrades to continue to 
meet requirements. 
(4) The Special Projects Aircraft (SPA) platform of the 
Navy is the second critical element in the airborne signals 
intelligence capability of the Navy and provides the Navy its 
most advanced, comprehensive multi-intelligence and quick- 
reaction capability available. 
(b) REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN CAPABILITIES.— 
(1) PROHIBITION ON RETIREMENT OF PLATFORMS.—The Sec-
retary of the Navy may not retire (or to prepare to retire) 
the EP–3E Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated Electronic 
System II or Special Projects Aircraft platform. 
(2) MAINTENANCE
OF
PLATFORMS.—The Secretary of the 
Navy shall continue to maintain, sustain, and upgrade the 
EP–3E Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated Electronic System 
II and Special Projects Aircraft platforms in order to provide 
capabilities necessary to operate effectively against rapidly 
evolving threats and to meet combatant commander operational 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements. 
(3) CERTIFICATION.—Not later than February 1, 2011, and 
annually thereafter, the Under Secretary of Defense for Intel-
ligence and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
shall jointly certify to Congress the following: 
(A) The Secretary of the Navy is maintaining and 
sustaining the EP–3E Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated 
Electronic System II and Special Projects Aircraft platform 
in a manner that meets the intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance requirements of the commanders of the 
combatant commands. 
(B) Any plan for the retirement or replacement of 
the EP–3E Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated Electronic 
System II or Special Projects Aircraft platform will provide, 
in the aggregate, an equivalent or superior capability and 
capacity to the platform concerned. 
(4) TERMINATION.—The requirements of this subsection 
with respect to the EP–3E Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated 
Electronic System II or the Special Projects Aircraft platform 
shall expire on the commencement of the fielding by the Navy 
of a platform or mix of platforms and sensors that are, in 
the aggregate, equivalent or superior to the EP–3E Airborne 
Reconnaissance Integrated Electronic System II (spiral 3) or 
the Special Projects Aircraft (P909) platform. 
(c) RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF SABER FOCUS PROGRAM ISR 
CAPABILITIES.— 
(1) RESTRICTION.—The Secretary of the Navy may not 
transfer the Saber Focus unmanned aerial system, associated 
equipment, or processing, exploitation, and dissemination 
capabilities of the Saber Focus program to the Secretary of 
the Air Force until 30 days after the Secretary of the Air 
Force certifies to the congressional defense committees that 
after such a transfer, the Secretary of the Air Force will provide 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (hereinafter in 
this section referred to as ‘‘ISR’’) capabilities at the same or 
greater capability and capacity level as the capability or 
capacity level at which the Saber Focus program provides such 
capabilities to the area of operations concerned as of the date 
of the enactment of this Act.
H. R. 6523—18 
(2) CONTINUED NAVY PROVISION OF CAPABILITIES.—The Sec-
retary of the Navy shall continue to provide Saber Focus ISR 
program capabilities at the same or greater capability and 
capacity level as the capability or capacity level at which the 
Saber Focus program provides such capabilities as of the date 
of the enactment of this Act to the area of operations concerned 
until— 
(A) the certification referred to in paragraph (1) is 
provided to the congressional defense committees; or 
(B) 30 days after the Secretary of Defense certifies 
to the congressional defense committees that the ISR 
capabilities of the Saber Focus program are no longer 
required to mitigate the ISR requirements of the combatant 
commander in the area of operations concerned. 
SEC. 113. REPORT ON NAVAL FORCE STRUCTURE AND MISSILE 
DEFENSE. 
(a) REPORT.—Not later than March 31, 2011, the Secretary 
of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and 
the Chief of Naval Operations, shall submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report on the force structure requirements 
of the major combatant surface vessels with respect to ballistic 
missile defense. 
(b) MATTERS INCLUDED.—The report shall include the following: 
(1) An analysis of whether the requirement for sea-based 
missile defense can be accommodated by upgrading Aegis ships 
that exist as of the date of the report or by procuring additional 
combatant surface vessels. 
(2) A discussion of whether such sea-based missile defense 
will require increasing the overall number of combatant surface 
vessels beyond the requirement of 88 cruisers and destroyers 
in the 313-ship fleet plan of the Navy. 
(3) A discussion of the process for determining the number 
of Aegis ships needed by each commander of the combatant 
commands to fulfill ballistic missile defense requirements, 
including (in consultation with the Chairman of the Joints 
Chiefs of Staff) the number of such ships needed to support 
the phased, adaptive approach to ballistic missile defense in 
Europe. 
(4) A discussion of the impact of Aegis Ashore missile 
defense deployments, as well as deployment of other elements 
of the ballistic missile defense system, on Aegis ballistic missile 
defense ship force structure requirements. 
(5) A discussion of the potential effect of ballistic missile 
defense operations on the ability of the Navy to meet surface 
fleet demands in each geographic area and for each mission 
set.

(a) COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF SERVICE LIFE EXTENSION OF 
F/A–18 AIRCRAFT.—Before the Secretary of the Navy may enter 
into a program to extend the service life of F/A–18 aircraft beyond 
8,600 hours, the Secretary shall— 
(1) conduct a cost-benefit analysis, in accordance with Office 
of Management and Budget Circular A–94, comparing 
extending the service life of existing F/A–18 aircraft with pro-
curing additional F/A–18E or F/A–18F aircraft as a means 
of managing the shortfall of the Department of the Navy in 
strike fighter aircraft; and 
(2) submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
on such cost-benefit analysis. 
(b) ELEMENTS
OF COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS.—The cost-benefit 
analysis required by subsection (a)(1) shall include the following: 
(1) An estimate of the full costs, over the period covered 
by the future-years defense program submitted to Congress 
under section 221 of title 10, United States Code, with the 
budget of the President, of extending legacy F/A–18 aircraft 
beyond 8,600 hours, including— 
(A) any increases in operation and maintenance costs 
associated with operating such aircraft beyond a service 
life of 8,600 hours; and 
(B) the costs with respect to the airframe, avionics, 
software, and aircraft subsystems and components required 
to remain relevant in countering future threats and 
meeting the warfighting requirements of the commanders

Subtitle C—Missile Defense Programs 
SEC. 221. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress— 
(1) that the phased, adaptive approach to missile defense 
in Europe is an appropriate response to the existing ballistic 
missile threat from Iran to the European territory of North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization countries, and to potential future 
ballistic missile capabilities of Iran; 
(2) that the phased, adaptive approach to missile defense 
in Europe is not intended to, and will not, provide a missile 
defense capability relative to the ballistic missile deterrent 
forces of the Russian Federation, or diminish strategic stability 
with the Russian Federation; 
(3) to support the efforts of the United States Government 
and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to pursue coopera-
tion with the Russian Federation on ballistic missile defense 
relative to Iranian missile threats; 
(4) that the ground-based midcourse defense system 
deployed in Alaska and California currently provides adequate 
defensive capability for the United States against currently 
anticipated future long-range ballistic missile threats from Iran, 
and this capability will be enhanced as the system is improved, 
including by the planned deployment of an AN/TPY–2 radar 
in southern Europe in 2011; 
(5) that the ground-based midcourse defense system should 
be maintained, enhanced, and adequately tested to ensure its 
operational capability through its service life; 
(6) that the United States should, as stated in its unilateral 
statement accompanying the New START Treaty, ‘‘continue 
improving and deploying its missile defense systems in order 
to defend itself against limited attack and as part of our collabo-
rative approach to strengthening stability in key regions’’; 
(7) that, as part of this effort, the Department of Defense 
should pursue the development, testing, and deployment of 
operationally effective versions of all variants of the standard 
missile–3 for all four phases of the phased, adaptive approach 
to missile defense in Europe; 
(8) that the standard missile–3 block IIB interceptor missile 
planned for deployment in phase 4 of the phased, adaptive 
approach should be capable of addressing the potential future 
threat of intermediate-range and long-range ballistic missiles
H. R. 6523—32 
from Iran, including intercontinental ballistic missiles that 
could be capable of reaching the United States; 
(9) that there are no constraints contained in the New 
START Treaty on the development or deployment by the United 
States of effective missile defenses, including all phases of 
the phased, adaptive approach to missile defense in Europe 
and further enhancements to the ground-based midcourse 
defense system, as well as future missile defenses; and 
(10) that the Department of Defense should continue the 
development, testing, and assessment of the two-stage ground- 
based interceptor in such a manner as to provide a hedge 
against potential technical challenges with the development 
of the standard missile–3 block IIB interceptor missile as a 
means of augmenting the defense of Europe and of the home-
land against a limited ballistic missile attack from nations 
such as North Korea or Iran. 
(b) NEW START TREATY DEFINED.—In this section, the term

Subtitle E—Other Matters 
SEC. 241. SENSE OF CONGRESS AFFIRMING THE IMPORTANCE OF 
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PARTICIPATION IN DEVELOP-
MENT OF NEXT GENERATION SEMICONDUCTOR TECH-
NOLOGIES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The next generation of weapons systems, battlefield 
sensors, and intelligence platforms will need to be lighter, more 
agile, consume less power, and have greater computational 
power, which can be achieved by decreasing the feature size 
of integrated circuits to the nanometer scale.
H. R. 6523—40 
(2) There is a growing concern in the Department of 
Defense and the United States intelligence community over 
the offshore shift in development and production of high 
capacity semiconductors. Greater reliance on providers of semi-
conductors in the United States high technology industry would 
help mitigate the security risks of such an offshore shift. 
(3) The development of new manufacturing technologies 
is recognized in the semiconductor industry as critical to the 
development of the next generation of integrated circuits. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the United States should pursue research and develop-
ment capabilities to take the lead in developing and producing 
the next generation of integrated circuits; and 
(2) the Department of Defense should continue to work 
with industry and academia in pursuing the research and 
development of advanced manufacturing techniques in support 
of the development of the next generation of integrated circuits 
needed for the requirements and specialized applications of 
the Department of Defense.

SEC. 313. REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO THE INVESTIGATION OF EXPO-
SURE TO DRINKING WATER AT CAMP LEJEUNE, NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The Department of the Navy and the Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry (hereinafter in this section 
referred to as ‘‘ATSDR’’) have been working together for almost 
two decades to identify the possible effects of exposure to 
contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. 
(2) Multiple studies have been conducted, and are being 
conducted, which require significant amounts of data and 
historical documentation, requiring the Department of the Navy 
and ATSDR to have close collaboration and open access to 
information. 
(3) In June 2010, the Department of the Navy and ATSDR 
established 
the 
Camp 
Lejeune 
Data 
Mining 
Technical 
Workgroup to identify and inventory information and data rel-
evant to the ongoing scientific research. 
(b) REQUIREMENTS.— 
(1) ATSDR ACCESS TO DATA.—By not later than 90 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
of the Navy shall ensure that the inventory created by the 
Camp Lejeune Data Mining Technical Workgroup is accurate 
and complete and that ATSDR has full access to all of the 
documents and data listed therein as needed.

SEC. 314. COMPTROLLER GENERAL ASSESSMENT ON MILITARY 
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) There have been various reports of the exposure of 
current and former members of the Armed Forces, their depend-
ents, and civilian employees to environmental hazards while 
living and working on military installations. 
(2) There is the need to better understand existing Depart-
ment of Defense policies and procedures for addressing possible 
environmental exposures at military installations, determining 
any correlation between such an exposure and a subsequent 
health condition, and handling claims and potential compensa-
tion.
H. R. 6523—46 
(3) While many of these possible exposures have been 
studied and evaluated, the extent to which those exposures 
caused or contributed to the short- and long-term health condi-
tions of current and former members of the Armed Forces, 
their dependents, and civilian employees remains largely 
unknown. 
(4) As for these possible exposures and the link between 
the exposure and subsequent health conditions, there may be 
better ways for the Federal Government to evaluate, address 
and, as warranted, provide health benefits or possible com-
pensation as a remedy to these potential exposures. 
(b) COMPTROLLER
GENERAL
ASSESSMENT
REQUIRED.—The 
Comptroller General of the United States shall carry out an assess-
ment of possible exposures to environmental hazards on military 
installations that includes the following: 
(1) An identification of the policies and processes by which 
the Department of Defense and the military departments 
respond to environmental hazards on military installations and 
possible exposures and determine if there is a standard frame-
work. 
(2) An identification of the existing processes available 
to current and former members of the Armed Forces, their 
dependents, and civilian employees to seek compensation and 
health benefits for exposures to environmental hazards on mili-
tary installations. 
(3) A comparison of the processes identified under para-
graph (2) with other potential options or methods for providing 
health benefits or compensation to individuals for injuries that 
may have resulted from environmental hazards on military 
installations. 
(4) An examination of what is known about the advantages 
and disadvantages of other potential options or methods as 
well as any shortfalls in the current processes. 
(5) Recommendations for any administrative or legislative 
action that the Comptroller General deems appropriate in the 
context of the assessment. 
(c) REPORT.—Not later than January 1, 2012, the Comptroller 
General shall submit to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives a report on the findings and recommendations, 
as appropriate, of the Comptroller General with respect to the 
assessment conducted under subsection (b). 
(d) COORDINATION.—In carrying out subsection (b), the Comp-
troller General shall receive comments from the Secretary of 
Defense and others, as appropriate. 
(e) CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this section shall be interpreted 
to impede, encroach, or delay— 
(1) any studies, reviews, or assessments of any actual or 
potential environmental exposures at any military installation, 
including the studies included in the Agency for Toxic Sub-
stances and Disease Registry’s Annual Plan of Work regarding 
the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; 
(2) the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s 
statutory obligations, including its obligations under the Com-
prehensive
