SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the
‘‘Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2001’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(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,
and he has been reelected to each subsequent Con-
gress.
(2) Representative Spence came to Congress as
a distinguished veteran of service in the Armed
Forces of the United States.
(3) Upon graduation from college in 1952, Rep-
resentative Spence was commissioned as an ensign
in the United States Naval Reserve. After entering
active duty, he served with distinction aboard the
USS CARTER HALL and the USS LSM–397 dur-
ing the Korean War and later served as commanding
officer of a Naval Reserve Surface Division and as
group commander of all Naval Reserve units in Co-
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
for the 106th Congress. In addition, Representative
Spence served as the ranking minority member of
the Committee on Armed Services during the 103d
Congress.
(6) Dozens of awards from active duty and re-
serve military, veterans service, military retiree, and
industry organizations and associations have recog-
nized the distinguished character of Representative
Spence’s service to the Nation.
(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;
(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).

funds and continuing with sequential construction of
DD–21 class destroyers during the ensuing fiscal
years until 32 DD–21 class destroyers have been
constructed; and
(2) the Secretary of the Navy, in providing for
the acquisition of DD–21 class destroyers, should
consider that—
(A) the Marine Corps needs the surface
fire-support capabilities of the DD–21 class de-
stroyers as soon as possible in order to mitigate
the inadequacies of the surface fire-support ca-
pabilities that are currently available;

ers should be taken as soon as possible in order
to realize fully the cost savings that can be de-
rived from the construction and operation of
DD–21 class destroyers, including—
(i) savings in construction costs that
would result from achievement of the
Navy’s 
target 
per-ship 
cost 
of
$750,000,000 by the fifth ship constructed
in each construction yard;
(ii) savings that would result from the
estimated reduction of the crews of de-
stroyers by 200 or more personnel for each
ship; and

egies for the construction of the first 10 destroyers
in that class, including one or more multiyear pro-
curement strategies and one or more strategies for
block buy in economic order quantity.
(3) A comparison of the effects on the destroyer
industrial base and on costs to other Navy ship-
building programs of the following two options:
(A) Commencing construction of the first
destroyer in that class during fiscal year 2004,
with delivery of the completed ship during fiscal
year 2009, and delaying commencement of con-
struction of the next destroyer in that class
until fiscal year 2006.
(B) Commencing construction of the first
destroyer in that class during fiscal year 2005
(rather than fiscal year 2004), with advance
procurement during fiscal year 2004 and deliv-
ery of the completed ship during fiscal year
