thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113–

(d) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) in the past decade, competition of the man-
agement and operating contracts for the national se-
curity laboratories has resulted in significant in-
creases in fees paid to the contractors—funding that 
otherwise could be used to support program and 
mission activities of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration; 
(2) competition of the management and oper-
ating contracts of the nuclear security enterprise is 
an important mechanism to help realize cost savings, 
seek efficiencies, improve performance, and hold con-
tractors accountable; 
(3) when the Administrator for Nuclear Secu-
rity considers it appropriate to achieve these goals, 
the Administrator should conduct competition of 
these contracts while recognizing the unique nature 
of federally funded research and development cen-
ters; and
1004 
(4) the Administrator should ensure that fixed 
fees and performance-based fees contained in man-
agement and operating contracts are as low as pos-
sible to maintain a focus on national service while 
attracting high-quality contractors and achieving the 
goals of the competition. 
SEC. 3115. NUCLEAR WEAPON DESIGN RESPONSIVENESS

gress that—

posture that is agile, flexible, and responsive to 
change; and 
(2) to ensure the nuclear deterrent of the 
United States remains safe, secure, reliable, credible, 
and responsive, the United States must continually 
exercise all capabilities required to conceptualize, 
study, design, develop, engineer, certify, produce, 
and deploy nuclear weapons.
