(1) Representative Floyd D. Spence of South
Carolina was elected to the House of Representatives
in 1970, for service in the 92d Congress, after serv-
ing in the South Carolina legislature for 10 years,

lumbia, South Carolina. Representative Spence re-
tired from the Naval Reserve in 1988 in the grade
of captain, after 41 years of dedicated service.
(4) Upon election to the House of Representa-
tives, Representative Spence became a member of
the Committee on Armed Services of that body. Dur-
ing 30 years of service on that committee (4 years
of which were served while the committee was known
as the Committee on National Security), Represent-
ative Spence’s contributions to the national defense
and security of the United States have been pro-
found and long lasting.
(5) Representative Spence served as chairman
of that committee while known as the Committee on
National Security during the 104th and 105th Con-
gresses and serves as chairman of that committee

HR 4205 PCS
(7) Representative Spence has been a leading
figure in the debate over many of the most critical
military readiness, health care, recruiting, and reten-
tion issues currently confronting the Nation’s mili-
tary. His concern for the men and women in uni-
form has been unwavering, and his accomplishments
in promoting and gaining support for those issues
that preserve the combat effectiveness, morale, and
quality of life of the Nation’s military personnel have
been unparalleled.
(8) During his tenure as chairman of the Com-
mittee on National Security and the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives,
Representative Spence has—
(A) led efforts to identify and reverse the
effect that declining resources and rising com-
mitments have had on military quality of life
for service members and their families, on com-
bat readiness, and on equipment modernization,
with a direct result of those diligent efforts and
of his willingness to be an outspoken proponent
for America’s military being that Congress has
added nearly $50,000,000,000 to the Presi-
dent’s defense budgets over the past 5 years;
HR 4205 PCS
(B) been a leading proponent of the need
to expeditiously develop and field a national
missile defense to protect American citizens and
forward deployed military forces from growing
ballistic missile threats;
(C) advocated reversing the growing dis-
parity between actual military capability and
the requirements associated with the National
Military Strategy; and
(D) led efforts in Congress to reform De-
partment of Defense acquisition and manage-
ment headquarters and infrastructure and busi-
ness practices.
(9) This Act is the 30th annual authorization
bill for the Department of Defense for which Rep-
resentative Spence has taken a major responsibility
as a member of the Committee on Armed Services
of the House of Representatives (including 4 years
while that committee was known as the Committee
on National Security).
(10) In light of the findings in the preceding
paragraphs, it is altogether fitting and proper that
this Act be named in honor of Representative Floyd
D. Spence of South Carolina, as provided in sub-
section (a).

viding instruction to defense industry employees under
this section during that year—

SEC. 536. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING FINAL
CREW OF U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
124
HR 4205 PCS
(1) Shortly after midnight on the night of July
30, 1945, during the closing days of World War II,
the United States Navy heavy cruiser U.S.S. INDI-
ANAPOLIS (CA–35) was torpedoed and sunk by a
Japanese submarine.
(2) Of the 1,196 crew members, only 316 sur-
vived the attack and subsequent 5-day ordeal adrift
at sea, the rest dying from battle wounds, drowning,
shark attacks, exposure, or lack of food and water,
making the sinking of the INDIANAPOLIS the
worst sea disaster in United States naval history.
(3) Following the rescue of the surviving crew
members, the commanding officer of the INDIAN-
APOLIS, Captain Charles Butler McVay III, who
survived the sinking and the ordeal at sea, was
charged with ‘‘suffering a vessel to be hazarded
through negligence’’ and was convicted by a court-
martial of that charge, notwithstanding a great
many extenuating circumstances, some of which
were not presented at the court-martial trial.
(4) Captain McVay had an excellent record
throughout his naval career before the sinking of the
INDIANAPOLIS, beginning with his graduation
from the United States Naval Academy in 1919 and
including an excellent combat record that included
125
HR 4205 PCS
participation in the landings in North Africa and
award of the Silver Star for courage under fire
earned during the Solomon Islands campaign.
(5) After assuming command of the INDIAN-
APOLIS on November 18, 1944, Captain McVay led
the ship during her participation in the assaults on
Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
(6) During the latter assault, the INDIANAP-
OLIS suffered a damaging kamikaze attack which
penetrated the ship’s hull, but the ship was made
seaworthy and skillfully returned by Captain McVay
and her crew to San Francisco for repairs.
(7) Following completion of those repairs, the
INDIANAPOLIS was given the mission of trans-
porting to the island of Tinian vital parts of the
atomic bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima, a
mission which was completed successfully on July
26, 1945, at a record average speed of 29 knots.
(8) Following the accomplishment of that mis-
sion, the INDIANAPOLIS sailed from Tinian to
Guam and from there embarked for Leyte Gulf in
the Philippines to join training with the fleet assem-
bling for the final assault on the Japanese mainland.
(9) As the INDIANAPOLIS began its trip
across the Philippine Sea on July 28, 1945, the war
126
HR 4205 PCS
was virtually over in that area of the south Pacific,
with hostilities having moved 1,000 miles to the
north, the Japanese navy’s surface fleet was non-
existent, and United States naval intelligence re-
ported only four operational Japanese submarines in
the entire Pacific theater of war, all of which re-
sulted in the state of alert among shore-based per-
sonnel routing and tracking the INDIANAPOLIS
across the Philippine Sea being affected accordingly.
(10) Before departure from Guam Captain
McVay requested a destroyer escort because his ship
was not equipped with antisubmarine detection de-
vices, but, despite the fact that no capital ship such
as the INDIANAPOLIS had made the transit be-
tween Guam and the Philippines without escort dur-
ing World War II, that request was denied, and a
1996 report by the Navy’s Judge Advocate General’s
office concedes that ‘‘Captain McVay and the rout-
ing officer did not discuss the availability of an es-
cort 
after 
the 
operations 
officer 
for
COMMARIANNAS confirmed that an escort was
not necessary’’.
(11) Although Captain McVay was informed of
‘‘submarine sightings’’ in the Philippine Sea, such
sightings were commonplace, and none of those re-
127
HR 4205 PCS
ported to Captain McVay had been confirmed, and
at the same time there was a failure to inform him
that a submarine within range of his path had sunk
the U.S.S. UNDERHILL 4 days before his depar-
ture from Guam.
(12) United States military intelligence activi-
ties, through a code-breaking system called ULTRA,
had learned that the Japanese submarine I–58 was
operating in the Philippine Sea area, but Captain
McVay was not told of this intelligence, which re-
mained classified as Top Secret until the early
1990’s, and this intelligence (and the fact that it
was withheld from Captain McVay when he sailed
from Guam) was not brought to light at his court-
martial.
(13) The INDIANAPOLIS was sunk by this
same submarine.
(14) the commander of that submarine,
Mochitsura Hashimoto, testified at the court-martial
that once he had detected the ship, he would have
been able to make a successful torpedo attack
whether or not the ship was zigzagging.
(15) With visibility severely limited by a heavy
overcast at approximately 11 p.m. on the night of
July 29, 1945, Captain McVay gave the order to
128
HR 4205 PCS
cease zigzagging and retired to his cabin and shortly
after midnight the INDIANAPOLIS was struck by
two torpedoes and sunk within 12 minutes.
(16) The formal charge upon which Captain
McVay was convicted for ‘‘suffering a vessel to be
hazarded through negligence’’ contained the phrase
‘‘in good visibility’’ in reference to the weather con-
ditions on that night, which is contrary to the recol-
lection of all survivors, who recall that the visibility
was very poor.
(17) After the INDIANAPOLIS was sunk, var-
ious Navy shore offices compounded the previous er-
rors which had led to the ship being placed in jeop-
ardy by failing to report the ship’s overdue arrival,
thus leaving the approximately 950 members of the
crew who survived the sinking of the ship adrift for
4 days and five nights until by chance the survivors
were spotted by a routine air patrol.
(18) A court of inquiry to investigate the sink-
ing was convened in Guam on August 13, 1945, just
2 weeks after the sinking and 9 days after the sur-
vivors were rescued (a date so soon after the sinking
that Captain William Hillbert, the Navy judge advo-
cate for the inquiry, admitted that the inquiry was
so rushed that they were ‘‘* * * starting the pro-
129
HR 4205 PCS
ceedings without having available all the necessary
data’’) and recommended that Captain McVay be
issued a Letter of Reprimand and that he be court-
martialed.
(19) The headquarters staff of CINCPAC
(commanded by Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz) dis-
agreed with the recommendation of the court of in-
quiry, stating that in not maintaining a zigzag
course Captain McVay at worst was guilty only of an
error in judgment and not gross negligence and con-
cluded that the rule requiring zigzagging would not
have applied in any event since Captain McVay’s or-
ders gave him discretion on that matter and took
precedence over all other orders (a point that was
never made by Captain McVay’s attorney during the
court-martial).
(20) The Department of the Navy delayed the
announcement of the sinking of the INDIANAP-
OLIS for almost 2 weeks to coincide with the an-
nouncement of the surrender of Japan, thus divert-
ing attention from the magnitude of the disaster and
lessening its public impact, and then, despite opposi-
tion by Admiral Nimitz and Admiral Raymond
Spruance (for whom the INDIANAPOLIS had
served as flagship), it brought court-martial charges
130
HR 4205 PCS
against Captain McVay in a rare instance when a
commanding officer’s recommendations are con-
travened.
(21) Captain McVay thus became the first
United States Navy commanding officer brought to
trial for losing his ship in combat during World War
II, despite the fact that over 700 ships were lost
during World War II, including some under ques-
tionable circumstances.
(22) Captain McVay was convicted on February
23, 1946, on the charge of ‘‘suffering a vessel to be
hazarded through negligence’’, thus permanently
damaging his career as a naval officer, although
when Admiral Nimitz was advanced to the position
of Chief of Naval Operations later that same year,
he remitted Captain McVay’s sentence and restored
him to active duty.
(23) Following his court-martial conviction,
Captain McVay remained on active duty until retir-
ing in 1949 upon completion of 30 years of active
naval service, with a final promotion, in accordance
with then-applicable law, to the grade of rear admi-
ral, effective upon the date of his retirement.
(24) Rear Admiral Charles Butler McVay III
(retired), died on November 6, 1968, without having
131
HR 4205 PCS
been exonerated from responsibility for the loss of
his ship and the lives of 880 members of her crew.
(25) The survivors of the INDIANAPOLIS still
living have remained steadfast in their support of
the exoneration of Captain McVay.
(26) In 1993, Congress, in section 1165 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1994 (Public Law 103–160; 107 Stat. 1765; 16
U.S.C. 431 note), recognized the memorial to the
U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS (CA–35) in Indianapolis,
Indiana, as the national memorial to that historic
warship and to her final crew.
(27) In 1994, Congress, in section 1052 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1995 (Public Law 103–337; 108 Stat. 2844), stat-
ing that it was acting on behalf of the grateful peo-
ple of the United States—
(A) recognized the invaluable contributions
of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS to the ending of
World War II; and
(B) on the occasion of the 50th anniver-
sary of her tragic sinking, and the dedication of
the national memorial in Indianapolis on July
30, 1995, commended that ship and her crew
132
HR 4205 PCS
for selfless and heroic service to the United
States.
(b) COURT-MARTIAL CONVICTION OF CHARLES BUT-
LER MCVAY, III.—It is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the court-martial charges against then-Cap-
tain Charles Butler McVay III, United States Navy,
arising from the sinking of the U.S.S. INDIANAP-
OLIS (CA–35) on July 30, 1945, while under his
command were not morally sustainable;
(2) Captain McVay’s conviction was a mis-
carriage of justice that led to his unjust humiliation
and damage to his naval career; and
(3) the American people should now recognize
Captain McVay’s lack of culpability for the tragic
loss of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS and the lives of
the men who died as a result of her sinking.
(c) PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION.—(1) It is the
sense of the Congress that the President should award a
Presidential Unit Citation to the final crew of the U.S.S.
INDIANAPOLIS (CA–35) in recognition of the courage
and fortitude displayed by the members of that crew in
the face of tremendous hardship and adversity after their
ship was torpedoed and sunk on July 30, 1945.
(2) A citation described in paragraph (1) may be
awarded without regard to any provision of law or regula-
133
HR 4205 PCS
tion prescribing a time limitation that is otherwise applica-
ble with respect to recommendation for, or the award of,
such a citation.
SEC. 537. POSTHUMOUS ADVANCEMENT OF REAR ADMIRAL
(RETIRED) HUSBAND E. KIMMEL AND MAJOR
GENERAL (RETIRED) WALTER C. SHORT ON
RETIRED LISTS.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) The late Rear Admiral (retired) Husband
E. Kimmel, formerly serving in the grade of admiral
as the Commander in Chief of the United States
Fleet and the Commander in Chief, United States
Pacific Fleet, had an excellent and unassailable
record throughout his career in the United States
Navy prior to the December 7, 1941, attack on
Pearl Harbor.
(2) The late Major General (retired) Walter C.
Short, formerly serving in the grade of lieutenant
general as the Commander of the United States
Army Hawaiian Department, had an excellent and
unassailable record throughout his career in the
United States Army prior to the December 7, 1941,
attack on Pearl Harbor.
134
HR 4205 PCS
(3) Numerous investigations following the at-
tack on Pearl Harbor have documented that then
Admiral Kimmel and then Lieutenant General Short
were not provided necessary and critical intelligence
that was available, that foretold of war with Japan,
that warned of imminent attack, and that would
have alerted them to prepare for the attack, includ-
ing such essential communiques as the Japanese
Pearl Harbor Bomb Plot message of September 24,
1941, and the message sent from the Imperial Japa-
nese Foreign Ministry to the Japanese Ambassador
in the United States from December 6–7, 1941,
known as the Fourteen-Part Message.
(4) On December 16, 1941, Admiral Kimmel
and Lieutenant General Short were relieved of their
commands and returned to their permanent ranks of
rear admiral and major general.
(5) Admiral William Harrison Standley, who
served as a member of the investigating commission
known as the Roberts Commission that accused Ad-
miral Kimmel and Lieutenant General Short of
‘‘dereliction of duty’’ only 6 weeks after the attack
on Pearl Harbor, later disavowed the report main-
taining that ‘‘these two officers were martyred’’ and
135
HR 4205 PCS
‘‘if they had been brought to trial, both would have
been cleared of the charge’’.
(6) On October 19, 1944, a Naval Court of
Inquiry—
(A) exonerated Admiral Kimmel on the
grounds that his military decisions and the dis-
position of his forces at the time of the Decem-
ber 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor were prop-
er ‘‘by virtue of the information that Admiral
Kimmel had at hand which indicated neither
the probability nor the imminence of an air at-
tack on Pearl Harbor’’;
(B) criticized the higher command for not
sharing with Admiral Kimmel ‘‘during the very
critical period of 26 November to 7 December
1941, important information * * * regarding
the Japanese situation’’; and
(C) concluded that the Japanese attack
and its outcome was attributable to no serious
fault on the part of anyone in the naval service.
(7) On June 15, 1944, an investigation con-
ducted by Admiral T. C. Hart at the direction of the
Secretary of the Navy produced evidence, subse-
quently confirmed, that essential intelligence con-
cerning Japanese intentions and war plans was
136
HR 4205 PCS
available in Washington but was not shared with Ad-
miral Kimmel.
(8) On October 20, 1944, the Army Pearl Har-
bor Board of Investigation determined that—
(A) Lieutenant General Short had not
been kept ‘‘fully advised of the growing tense-
ness of the Japanese situation which indicated
an increasing necessity for better preparation
for war’’;
(B) detailed information and intelligence
about Japanese intentions and war plans were
available in ‘‘abundance’’, but were not shared
with Lieutenant General Short’s Hawaii com-
mand; and
(C) Lieutenant General Short was not pro-
vided ‘‘on the evening of December 6th and the
early morning of December 7th, the critical in-
formation indicating an almost immediate break
with Japan, though there was ample time to
have accomplished this’’.
(9) The reports by both the Naval Court of In-
quiry and the Army Pearl Harbor Board of Inves-
tigation were kept secret, and Rear Admiral (re-
tired) Kimmel and Major General (retired) Short
137
HR 4205 PCS
were denied their requests to defend themselves
through trial by court-martial.
(10) The joint committee of Congress that was
established to investigate the conduct of Admiral
Kimmel and Lieutenant General Short completed, on
May 31, 1946, a 1,075-page report which included
the conclusions of the committee that the two offi-
cers had not been guilty of dereliction of duty.
(11) The Officer Personnel Act of 1947, in es-
tablishing a promotion system for the Navy and the
Army, provided a legal basis for the President to
honor any officer of the Armed Forces of the United
States who served his country as a senior com-
mander during World War II with a placement of
that officer, with the advice and consent of the Sen-
ate, on the retired list with the highest grade held
while on the active duty list.
(12) On April 27, 1954, the then Chief of
Naval Personnel, Admiral J. L. Holloway, Jr., rec-
ommended that Rear Admiral Kimmel be advanced
in rank in accordance with the provisions of the Of-
ficer Personnel Act of 1947.
(13) On November 13, 1991, a majority of the
members of the Board for the Correction of Military
Records of the Department of the Army found that
138
HR 4205 PCS
the late Major General (retired) Short ‘‘was unjustly
held responsible for the Pearl Harbor disaster’’ and
that ‘‘it would be equitable and just’’ to advance him
to the rank of lieutenant general on the retired list’’.
(14) In October 1994, the then Chief of Naval
Operations, Admiral Carlisle Trost, withdrew his
1988 recommendation against the advancement of
Rear Admiral (retired) Kimmel (by then deceased)
and recommended that the case of Rear Admiral
Kimmel be reopened.
(15) Although the Dorn Report, a report on the
results of a Department of Defense study that was
issued on December 15, 1995, did not provide sup-
port for an advancement of the late Rear Admiral
(retired) Kimmel or the late Major General (retired)
Short in grade, it did set forth as a conclusion of the
study that ‘‘responsibility for the Pearl Harbor dis-
aster should not fall solely on the shoulders of Admi-
ral Kimmel and Lieutenant General Short, it should
be broadly shared’’.
(16) The Dorn Report found—
(A) that ‘‘Army and Navy officials in
Washington were privy to intercepted Japanese

vided crucial confirmation of the imminence of
war’’;
(B) that ‘‘the evidence of the handling of
these messages in Washington reveals some in-
eptitude, some unwarranted assumptions and
misestimations, limited coordination, ambiguous
language, and lack of clarification and follow-up
at higher levels’’; and
(C) that ‘‘together, these characteristics re-
sulted in failure * * * to appreciate fully and

(17) On July 21, 1997, Vice Admiral David C.
Richardson (United States Navy, retired) responded
to the Dorn Report with his own study which con-
firmed findings of the Naval Court of Inquiry and
the Army Pearl Harbor Board of Investigation and
established, among other facts, that the war effort
in 1941 was undermined by a restrictive intelligence
distribution policy, and the degree to which the com-
manders of the United States forces in Hawaii were
not alerted about the impending attack on Hawaii
was directly attributable to the withholding of intel-
140
HR 4205 PCS
ligence from then Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant
General Short.
(18) Rear Admiral (retired) Kimmel and Major
General (retired) Short are the only two officers eli-
gible for advancement under the Officer Personnel
Act of 1947 as senior World War II commanders
who were excluded from the list of retired officers
presented for advancement on the retired lists to
their highest wartime ranks under that Act.
(19) This singular exclusion from advancement
of Rear Admiral (retired) Kimmel and Major Gen-
eral (retired) Short from the Navy retired list and
the Army retired list, respectively, serves only to
perpetuate the myth that the senior commanders in
Hawaii were derelict in their duty and responsible
for the success of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and
is a distinct and unacceptable expression of dishonor
toward two of the finest officers who have served in
the Armed Forces of the United States.
(20) Major General (retired) Walter Short died
on September 23, 1949, and Rear Admiral (retired)
Husband Kimmel died on May 14, 1968, without
having been accorded the honor of being returned to
their wartime ranks as were their fellow veterans of
World War II.

(21) The Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Pearl
Harbor Survivors Association, the Admiral Nimitz
Foundation, the Naval Academy Alumni Association,
the Retired Officers Association, the Pearl Harbor
Commemorative Committee, and other associations
and numerous retired military officers have called
for the rehabilitation of the reputations and honor of
the late Rear Admiral (retired) Kimmel and the late
Major General (retired) Short through their post-
humous advancement on the retired lists to their
highest wartime grades.
(b) REQUEST
FOR ADVANCEMENT
ON RETIRED
LISTS.—(1) The President is requested—
(A) to advance the late Rear Admiral (retired)
Husband E. Kimmel to the grade of admiral on the
retired list of the Navy; and
(B) to advance the late Major General (retired)
Walter C. Short to the grade of lieutenant general
on the retired list of the Army.
(2) Any advancement in grade on a retired list re-
quested under paragraph (1) shall not increase or other-
wise modify the compensation or benefits from the United
States to which any person is now or may in the future
be entitled based upon the military service of the officer
advanced.
142
HR 4205 PCS
(c) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that—
(1) the late Rear Admiral (retired) Husband E.
Kimmel performed his duties as Commander in
Chief, United States Pacific Fleet, competently and
professionally, and, therefore, the losses incurred by
the United States in the attacks on the naval base
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and other targets on the
island of Oahu, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, were
not a result of dereliction in the performance of
those duties by the then Admiral Kimmel; and
(2) the late Major General (retired) Walter C.
Short performed his duties as Commanding General,
Hawaiian Department, competently and profes-
sionally, and, therefore, the losses incurred by the
United States in the attacks on Hickam Army Air
Field and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and other
targets on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, on December
7, 1941, were not a result of dereliction in the per-
formance of those duties by the then Lieutenant
General Short.

Houston Braly, one of the attacking pilots, and de-
stroyed much of the village of Remy, including seven
stained glass windows in the 13th Century church.
(3) Despite threats of reprisals from the occu-
pying German authorities, the citizens of Remy re-
covered Lieutenant Braly’s body from the wreckage,
buried his body with dignity and honor in the
church’s cemetery, and decorated the grave site daily
with fresh flowers.
(4) On Armistice Day, 1995, the village of
Remy renamed the crossroads near the site of Lieu-
tenant Braly’s death in his honor.
(5) The surviving members of the 364th Fight-
er Group desire to express their gratitude to the
brave citizens of Remy.
(6) To express their gratitude, the surviving
members of the 364th Fighter Group have organized
a nonprofit corporation to raise funds, through its
project ‘‘Windows for Remy’’, to restore the church’s
stained glass windows.

gress commends the bravery and honor of the citizens of
Remy, France, for their actions with respect to the Amer-
ican fighter pilot Lieutenant Houston Braly during and

viving members of the United States 364th Fighter Group
