role for United States power projection in the future;

systems in order to avoid endangering civilian popu-
lations and the environment.

tial to the public safety that the Armed Forces not

ing exercises with live ammunition, in close prox-
132
HR 2561 EAS
imity to civilian populations unless there is no rea-

civilians during a live-ammunition weapons test at
Vieques, including a reexamination of the adequacy of
the measures that are in place to protect the civilian
population during such training;

training site with no civilian population located
in close proximity;
(B) the national security of the United
States requires that the training be carried out;

safety to the civilian population are to be in
place and maintained throughout the training;
and

radioactive materials that could cause environ-
