OPERATION AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN

(1) cooperation and collaboration under the 
1958 Mutual Defense Agreement and the 1963 Po-
laris Sales Agreement are fundamental elements of 
the security of the United States and the United 
Kingdom as well as international stability; 
(2) the recent renewal of the Mutual Defense 
Agreement and the continued work under the Pola-
ris Sales Agreement underscore the enduring and 
long-term value of the agreements to both countries; 
and 
(3) the vital efforts performed under the pur-
view of both the Mutual Defense Agreement and the 
Polaris Sales Agreement are critical to sustaining 
and enhancing the capabilities and knowledge base 
of both countries regarding nuclear deterrence, nu-
clear nonproliferation and counterproliferation, and 
naval nuclear propulsion. 
SEC. 1656. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ORGANIZATION OF 
NAVY FOR NUCLEAR DETERRENCE MISSION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The safety, security, reliability, and credi-
bility of the nuclear deterrent of the United States 
is a vital national security priority. 
(2) Nuclear weapons require special consider-
ation because of the political and military impor-
845 
tance of the weapons, the destructive power of the 
weapons, and the potential consequences of an acci-
dent or unauthorized act involving the weapons. 
(3) The assured safety, security, and control of 
nuclear weapons and related systems are of para-
mount importance. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the Navy has repeatedly demonstrated the 
commitment and prioritization of the Navy to the 
nuclear deterrence mission of the Navy; 
(2) the emphasis of the Navy on ensuring a 
safe, secure, reliable, and credible sea-based nuclear 
deterrent force has been matched by an equal em-
phasis on ensuring the assured safety, security, and 
control of nuclear weapons and related systems 
ashore; and 
(3) the Navy is commended for the actions the 
Navy has taken subsequent to the 2014 Nuclear En-
terprise Review to ensure continued focus on the nu-
clear deterrent mission by all ranks within the Navy, 
including the clarification and assignment of specific 
responsibilities and authorities within the Navy con-
tained in OPNAV Instruction 8120.1 and SECNAV 
Instruction 8120.1B.

SEC. 1657. PROHIBITION ON DE-ALERTING INTERCONTI-
NENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILES. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the Sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the responsiveness and alert levels of inter-
continental ballistic missiles are a unique feature of 
the ground-based leg of the United States nuclear 
triad; 
(2) such responsiveness and alert levels are crit-
ical to providing robust nuclear deterrence and as-
surance; and 
(3) any action to reduce the responsiveness and 
alert levels of United States intercontinental ballistic 
missiles would be contrary to longstanding United 
States policy, and deeply harmful to national secu-
rity and strategic stability in a crisis. 
(b) IN GENERAL.— 
(1) PROHIBITION.—None of the funds author-
ized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise 
made available for fiscal year 2016 shall be obligated 
or expended for reducing, or preparing to reduce, 
the responsiveness or alert level of United States 
intercontinental ballistic missiles.

MAINTE-
NANCE, SAFETY, SECURITY, ETC.—Paragraph (1)

fense should submit to Congress a plan on how the Sec-
retary plans to implement the full recommendations of the 
two nuclear enterprise reviews, conducted and then vali-
dated by the Air Force, one of which was conducted by 
Assistant Secretary Madelyn Creedon and Rear Admiral 
Peter Fanta and one of which was conducted by General 
Walsh and Admiral Harvey. The plan submitted under 
this section should include a timeline for when each rec-
ommendation shall be implemented and how the additional 
manpower recommendations shall be allocated. 
SEC. 1659. REPORT ON THE NUMBER OF PLANNED NU-
CLEAR-ARMED CRUISE MISSILES. 
Not later than 120 days after the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress

clear-armed cruise missiles, known as the Long Range 
Standoff Weapon, to the U.S. arsenal. The report shall 
include—
848 
(1) the rationale for procuring the expected 
number of cruise missiles; 
(2) how the number of planned missiles aligns 
with U.S. nuclear employment strategy; 
(3) an estimate of the annual and total cost for 
research, development, test, and evaluation and pro-
curement for the total number of planned cruise 
missiles; and 
(4) an estimate of the proportional annual cost 
of the cruise missiles as compared to the annual cost 
of nuclear triad and annual defense spending.
