SEC. 1025. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE ANNI-
VERSARY OF THE SINKING OF U.S.S. THRESH-
ER. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) U.S.S. Thresher was first launched at 
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on July 9, 1960. 
(2) U.S.S. Thresher departed Portsmouth 
Naval Shipyard for her final voyage on April 9,
408 
1963, with a crew of 16 officers, 96 sailors, and 17 
civilians. 
(3) The mix of that crew reflects the unity of 
the 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 United States Navy instituted new regulations to 
ensure the health of the submariners and the safety 
of the submarines of the United States. 
(7) Those regulations led to the establishment 
of the Submarine Safety and Quality Assurance pro-
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,
409 
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 
sacrifices of all submariners, past and present. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 
(1) recognizes the 51st anniversary of the sink-
ing 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 
(3) expresses its deepest gratitude to all subma-
riners on ‘‘eternal patrol’’, who are forever bound to-
gether by dedicated and honorable service to the 
United States of America.

mand area of operations since 2002, and whose use 
are now expanding to other Global Combatant Com-
mands area of operations; 
(2) without the preservation of knowledge about

could fail to take full advantage of the hard earned 
lessons and investments of the past decade of 
counter-improvised explosive device operations to en-
hance warfighter readiness; and

dedicated to retaining a knowledge base relating to

sons learned and investments are maximized for fu-
ture benefits.

to be a popular and important place of reflection 
and healing for a generation.

Nation’s dead bear mute testimony to the sacrifice 
of more than 58,000 Americans, serving as a deep 
source of comfort and pride for the families of those 
who were lost. 
(3) 74 sailors were lost aboard the USS Frank 
E. Evans, which sank after colliding with the HMAS 
Melbourne on June 3, 1969, during a Southeast 
Asia Treaty Organization exercise just outside the 
designated combat zone. 
(4) The Frank Evans had been providing sup-
port fire for combat operations in Vietnam before 
the exercise that resulted in the accident and was 
scheduled to return after the exercise. 
(5) The families of the 74 men lost aboard the 
USS Frank E. Evans have been fighting for decades 
to have their loved ones added to the Memorial. 
(6) Exceptions have been granted to inscribe 
the names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for 
other servicemembers who were killed outside of the 
designated combat zone, including in 1983 when 
President Ronald Reagan ordered that 68 Marines
513 
who died on a flight outside the combat zone be 
added to the wall. 
(7) Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, in a let-
ter dated December 15, 2010, expressed support for 
the addition of the 74 names of the men lost aboard 
the USS Frank E. Evans to the Vietnam Veterans

unrecognized because of an arbitrary line on a map.

gress that the Secretary of Defense should order that the 
names of the 74 military personnel lost aboard the USS 
Frank E. Evans on June 3, 1969, be added to the Viet-
nam Veterans Memorial.

SEC. 1090A. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE 70TH 
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ALLIED AMPHIBIOUS 
LANDING ON D-DAY, JUNE 6, 1944, AT NOR-
MANDY, FRANCE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
515 
(1) June 6, 2014, marks the 70th anniversary 
of the Allied assault at Normandy, France, by Amer-
ican, British, and Canadian troops, which was 
known as Operation Overlord. 
(2) Before Operation Overlord, the German 
Army still occupied France and the Nazi government 
still had access to the raw materials and industrial 
capacity of Western Europe. 
(3) The naval assault phase on Normandy was 
code-named ‘‘Neptune’’, and the June 6th assault 
date is referred to as D-Day to denote the day on 
which the combat attack was initiated. 
(4) The D-Day landing was the largest single 
amphibious assault in history, consisting of approxi-
mately 31,000 members of the United States Armed 
Forces, 153,000 members of the Allied Expedi-
tionary Force, 5,000 naval vessels, and more than 
11,000 sorties by Allied aircraft. 
(5) Soldiers of 6 divisions (3 American, 2 Brit-
ish, and 1 Canadian) stormed ashore in 5 main 
landing areas on beaches in Normandy, which were 
code-named ‘‘Utah’’, ‘‘Omaha’’, ‘‘Gold’’, ‘‘Juno’’, 
and ‘‘Sword’’. 
(6) Of the approximately 10,000 Allied casual-
ties incurred on the first day of the landing, more
516 
than 6,000 casualties were members of the United 
States Armed Forces. 
(7) The age of the remaining World War II vet-
erans and the gradual disappearance of any living 
memory of World War II and the Normandy land-
ings make it necessary to increase activities intended 
to pass on the history of these events, particularly 
to younger generations. 
(8) The young people of Normandy and the 
United States have displayed unprecedented commit-
ment to and involvement in celebrating the veterans 
of the Normandy landings and the freedom that they 
brought with them in 1944. 
(9) The significant material remains of the 
Normandy landing, such as shipwrecks and various 
items of military equipment found both on the Nor-
mandy beaches and at the bottom of the sea in 
French territorial waters, bear witness to the re-
markable material resources used by the Allied 
Armed Forces to execute the Normandy landings. 
(10) Five Normandy beaches and a number of 
sites on the Normandy coast, including Pointe du 
Hoc, were the scene of the Normandy landings, and 
constitute both now and for all time a unique piece 
of humanity’s world heritage, and a symbol of peace
517 
and freedom, whose unspoilt nature, integrity, and 
authenticity must be protected at all costs. 
(11) The world owes a debt of gratitude to the 
members of the ‘‘greatest generation’’ who assumed 
the task of freeing the world from Nazi and Fascist 
regimes and restoring liberty to Europe. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress— 
(1) recognizes the 70th anniversary of the Al-
lied amphibious landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944, at 
Normandy, France, during World War II; 
(2) expresses gratitude and appreciation to the 
members of the United States Armed Forces who 
participated in the D-Day operations; 
(3) thanks the young people of Normandy and 
the United States for their involvement in recog-
nizing and celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the 
Normandy landings with the aim of making future 
generations aware of the acts of heroism and sac-
rifice performed by the Allied forces; 
(4) recognizes the efforts of the Government of 
France and the people of Normandy to preserve, for 
future generations, the unique world heritage rep-
resented by the Normandy beaches and the sunken 
material remains of the Normandy landing, by in-
scribing them on the United Nations Educational,
518 
Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) 
World Heritage List; and 
(5) requests the President to issue a proclama-
tion calling on the people of the United States to ob-
serve the anniversary with appropriate ceremonies 
and programs to honor the sacrifices of their fellow 
countrymen to liberate Europe. 
SEC. 1090B. TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES TO MEMBERS

withstanding any other provision of law, and subject to 
subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense may transport to 
any country, without charge, supplies that have been fur-
nished by a nonprofit organization and that are intended 
for distribution to members of the armed forces. Such sup-
plies may be transported only on a space available basis. 
‘‘(b) LIMITATIONS.—(1) The Secretary may not 
transport supplies under subsection (a) unless the Sec-
retary determines that—
519 
‘‘(A) the transportation of the supplies is con-
sistent with the policies of the United States; 
‘‘(B) the supplies are suitable for distribution to 
members of the armed forces and are in usable con-
dition; 
‘‘(C) there is a legitimate need for the supplies 
by the members of the armed forces for whom they 
are intended; and 
‘‘(D) adequate arrangements have been made 
for the distribution and use of the supplies. 
‘‘(2) PROCEDURES.—The Secretary shall establish 
procedures for making the determinations required under 
paragraph (1). Such procedures shall include inspection 
of supplies before acceptance for transport. 
‘‘(3) PREPARATION.—It shall be the responsibility of 
the nonprofit organization requesting the transport of sup-
plies under this section to ensure that the supplies are

ernment or a nonprofit organization.

lowing new item:

SEC. 1090C. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON AIR FORCE FLIGHT 
TRAINING AIRCRAFT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) The Air Force uses the T–1A aircraft to 
train Air Force pilots to operate tanker and trans-
port aircraft. 
(2) The Air Force is seeking a replacement air-
craft for the T–1A which is experiencing obsoles-
cence issues and high costs. 
(3) An effective way to mitigate the T–1A’s 
cost, obsolescence, and complexity issues until a per-
manent replacement aircraft enters service, is to uti-
lize contractor-owned, contractor-operated modern 
aircraft in the very light jet category. 
(4) Conducting very light jet training via a con-
tractor-owned, contractor-operated contract vehicle 
could provide increased flexibility and reduce unnec-
essary ownership costs.
521 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the Secretary of the Air Force should formally 
assess the operational feasibility, costs, potential savings, 
and readiness implications of utilizing contractor-owned, 
contractor-operated, very light jet aircraft for interim 
flight instruction until a permanent replacement for the 
T–1A enters service. 
SEC. 1090D. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ESTABLISHMENT OF 
AN ADVISORY BOARD ON TOXIC SUBSTANCES 
AND WORKER HEALTH.

establish an Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and 
Worker Health, as described in the report of the Comp-
troller General of the United States titled ‘‘Energy Em-
ployees Compensation: Additional Independent Oversight 
and Transparency Would Improve Program’s Credibility’’, 
numbered GAO–10–302, to—

and approval of the Department of Labor site expo-
sure matrix;

prove, medical guidance for part E claims examiners 
with respect to the weighing of a claimant’s medical 
evidence;
522 
(3) obtain periodic expert review of evidentiary 
requirements for part B claims related to lung dis-
ease regardless of approval; 
(4) provide oversight over industrial hygienists, 
Department of Labor staff physicians, and Depart-
ment of Labor’s consulting physicians and their re-
ports to ensure quality, objectivity, and consistency; 
and 
(5) coordinate exchanges of data and findings 
with the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker 
Health to the extent necessary (under section 3624 
the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Com-
pensation Program Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 7384o).
