(3) Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 female 
students on April 14, 2014, killed over 50 male stu-
dents on February 25, 2014, and continues to vio-
lently attack innocent civilians throughout Nigeria. 
(4) Boko Haram has previously attacked West-
ern interests, bombing the United Nations building 
in Abuja on August 26, 2011, and was affiliated 
with taking Western hostages in Bauchi on Feb-
ruary 16, 2013, and later killing seven hostages. 
(5) As stated by United States Ambassador to 
Nigeria Terrence P. McCulley in 2012, the threat of 
Boko Haram is growing: ‘‘We‘ve seen an increase in 
sophistication, we’ve seen increased lethality. We 
saw at least a part of the group has decided it’s in 
their interest to attack the international commu-
nity.’’. 
(6) In June 2012, the Department of State 
added three leaders of Boko Haram, Abubakar 
Shekau, Abubakar Adam Kambar, and Khalid al- 
Barnawi, to the Specially Designated Global Ter-
rorist list. 
(7) In November 2013, the Department of 
State designated Boko Haram and its splinter 
group, Ansaru, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

(8) Boko Haram shares the ideological designs 
of al Qaeda, and has made public pledges of support 
to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and al-Shabaab. 
(9) Boko Haram poses a broader threat to in-
terests in Nigeria, the Sahel, Europe, and the 
United States. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of the findings 
specified in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that 
the Secretary of Defense should— 
(1) take appropriate action with allies and part-
ners of the United States to fight Boko Haram’s vi-
olence and ideology; 
(2) partner with Nigeria’s regional neighbors to 
counter Boko Haram’s cross-border activity and re-
spond to emerging threats; and 
(3) develop a long-term, interagency strategy to 
combat Boko Haram and Ansaru, reassess United 
States assistance to Nigeria, and brief Congress on 
this strategy.

issued a joint declaration ‘‘of certain common prin-
ciples in the national policies of their respective 
countries on which they based their hopes for a bet-
ter future for the world’’ and ‘‘the right of all peo-
ples to choose the form of government under which 
they will live and self government restored to those 
who have been forcibly deprived of them’’ and that 
the people of countries may live in freedom. 
(2) The United States Government has actively 
advocated for and continues to support the prin-
ciples of the United Nations Universal Declaration 
of Human Rights and the United Nations General 
Assembly resolution 260 (III) of December 9, 1948. 
(3) Captive Nations Week, signed into law by 
President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1959, raised 
public awareness of the oppression of nations under 
the control of Communist and other nondemocratic 
governments. 
(4) The European Parliament resolution on Eu-
ropean conscience and totalitarianism of April 2, 
2009, and the ‘‘Black Ribbon Day’’ resolution

(5) On the 70th anniversary of the formal 
adoption by the Nazi leadership of the ‘‘Final Solu-
tion of the Jewish Problem’’, members of the Euro-
pean Parliament and the national parliaments of the 
European Union rejected attempts to obfuscate the 
Holocaust by persons who sought to diminish the 
uniqueness of the Holocaust by deeming the Holo-
caust to be equal, similar, or equivalent to Com-
munism. 
(6) Extreme forms of totalitarian rule have led 
to premeditated and vast crimes committed against 
millions of human beings and their basic and in-
alienable rights on a scale unseen before in history. 
(7) The Nazi regime committed mass genocide 
during the Holocaust, killing millions of Jews, polit-
ical opponents, and minority populations. 
(8) August 23 would be an appropriate date to 
designate as ‘‘Black Ribbon Day’’ to remember and 
never forget the terror millions of citizens in Central 
and Eastern Europe experienced for more than 40 
years by ruthless military, economic, and political re-
pression of the people through arbitrary executions, 
mass arrests, deportations, the suppression of free 
speech, confiscation of private property, and the de-
struction of cultural and moral identity and civil so-

ciety, all of which deprived the vast majority of the 
peoples of Central and Eastern Europe of their basic 
human rights and dignity, separating them from the 
democratic world by means of the Iron Curtain and 
the Berlin Wall. 
(9) The memories of Europe’s tragic past can-
not be forgotten in order to honor the victims, con-
demn the perpetrators, and lay the foundation for 
reconciliation based on truth and remembrance. 
(b) RECOGNITION.—Congress supports the designa-
tion of ‘‘Black Ribbon Day’’ to recognize the victims of 
Soviet Communist and Nazi regimes.

sociated infrastructure to ensure that billions of dollars 
in prior taxpayer investments for such silos and infra-
structure are not lost through precipitous actions which 
may be budget-driven, cyclical, and not in the long-term 
strategic interests of the United States.

SEC. 1636. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE 
NUCLEAR TRIAD. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The April 2010 Nuclear Posture Review 
stated— 
(A) ‘‘After considering a wide range of 
possible options for the U.S. strategic nuclear 
posture, including some that involved elimi-
nating a leg of the Triad, the NPR concluded 
that for planned reductions under New START, 
the United States should retain a smaller Triad 
of SLBMs [submarine launched ballistic mis-
siles], ICBMs [intercontinental ballistic mis-
siles], and heavy bombers. Retaining all three 
Triad legs will best maintain strategic stability 
at reasonable cost, while hedging against poten-
tial technical problems or vulnerabilities.’’; 
(B) ‘‘ICBMs provide significant advan-
tages to the U.S. nuclear force posture, includ-
ing extremely secure command and control, 
high readiness rates, and relatively low oper-
ating costs.’’; 
(C) ‘‘a survivable U.S. response force re-
quires continuous at-sea deployments of SSBNs 
[ballistic missile submarines] in both the Atlan-

tic and Pacific oceans, as well as the ability to 
surge additional submarines in crisis.’’; and 
(D) nuclear-capable bombers— 
(i) ‘‘[provide] a rapid and effective 
hedge against technical challenges with an-
other leg of the Triad, as well as geo-
political uncertainties’’; and 
(ii) ‘‘are important to extended deter-
rence of potential attacks on U.S. allies 
and partners.’’. 
(2) In a letter to the Senate on February 2, 
2011, regarding the New START Treaty, President 
Obama stated that ‘‘I intend to modernize or replace 
the triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems: a 
heavy bomber and air- launched cruise missile, an 
ICBM, and a nuclear-powered ballistic missile sub-
marine (SSBN) and SLBM.’’. 
(3) In the Resolution Of Advice And Consent 
To Ratification of the New START Treaty, the Sen-
ate stated that ‘‘it is the sense of the Senate that 
United States deterrence and flexibility is assured by 
a robust triad of strategic delivery vehicles. To this 
end, the United States is committed to accom-
plishing the modernization and replacement of its 
strategic nuclear delivery vehicles, and to ensuring

the continued flexibility of United States conven-
tional and nuclear delivery systems.’’. 
(4) On June 19, 2013, the Secretary of De-
fense, Chuck Hagel, stated, ‘‘First, the U.S. will 
maintain a ready and credible deterrent. Second, we 
will retain a triad of bombers, ICBMs, and ballistic 
missile submarines. Third, we will make sure that 
our nuclear weapons remain safe, secure, ready and 
effective.’’. 
(5) Section 1062 of the National Defense Au-
thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 
113–66; 10 U.S.C. 495 note) states that— 
(A) ‘‘It is the policy of the United States 
to modernize or replace the triad of strategic 
nuclear delivery systems’’; and 
(B) ‘‘Congress supports the modernization 
or replacement of the triad of strategic nuclear 
delivery systems consisting of a heavy bomber 
and air-launched cruise missile, an interconti-
nental ballistic missile, and a ballistic missile 
submarine and submarine launched ballistic 
missile’’.

House of Representatives that the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff have determined that ‘‘our recommendation is 
to remain firmly committed to the triad, the three 
legs of the nuclear capability, and that any further 
reduction should be done only through negotiations, 
not unilaterally, and that we should commit to mod-
ernizing the stockpile while we have it.’’. 
(7) On April 2, 2014, the Commander of 
United States Strategic Command, Admiral Cecil 
Haney, testified to the Committee on Armed Serv-
ices of the House of Representatives that ‘‘First and 
foremost, I think it is important that we as a coun-
try realize just how important and foundational our 
strategic deterrent is today for us and well into the 
future. As you have mentioned, there is a need for 
modernization in a variety of areas. When you look 
at the credible strategic deterrent we have today, 
that includes everything from the indications and 
warning, to the command and control and commu-
nication structure that goes all the way from the 
President down to the units, and to what frequently 
we talk about as the triad involving the interconti-
nental ballistic missiles, the submarines, and the 
bombers—each providing its unique aspect of deter-
rence.’’.

(8) In the June 2013 Report on Nuclear Em-
ployment Strategy of the United States required by 
section 491 of title 10, United States Code, the Sec-
retary of Defense, on behalf of the President, stated 
that ‘‘the United States will maintain a nuclear 
Triad, consisting of ICBMs, SLBMs, and nuclear- 
capable heavy bombers. Retaining all three Triad 
legs will best maintain strategic stability at reason-
able cost, while hedging against potential technical 
problems or vulnerabilities. These forces should be 
operated on a day-to-day basis in a manner that 
maintains strategic stability with Russia and China, 
deters potential regional adversaries, and assures 
U.S. Allies and partners.’’. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the 
United States—

PLAN 
TO 
COUNTER 
CERTAIN 
GROUND- 
LAUNCHED BALLISTIC MISSILES AND CRUISE 
MISSILES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) On March 5, 2014, the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Missile De-
fense Policy testified before the Committee on 
Armed Services of the Senate that ‘‘[w]e are con-
cerned about Russian activity that appears to be in-
consistent with the Intermediate Range Nuclear 
Forces Treaty. We’ve raised the issue with Russia. 
They provided an answer that was not satisfactory 
to us, and we will, we told them that the issue is not 
closed, and we will continue to raise this.’’ Congress 
shares this concern regarding Russian behavior that 
is ‘‘inconsistent with’’ or in violation or circumven-
tion of the INF Treaty.

(2) The Commander of the United States Euro-
pean Command, and Supreme Allied Commander 
Europe, stated on April 2, 2014, that ‘‘a weapon ca-
pability that violates the INF, that is introduced 
into the greater European land mass is absolutely a 
tool that will have to be dealt with * * * I would 
not judge how the alliance will choose to react, but 
I would say they will have to consider what to do 
about it * * * It can’t go unanswered.’’. 
(3) The Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
stated on March 25, 2014, that Aegis Ashore missile 
defense sites, including those to be deployed in the 
Republic of Poland and the Republic of Romania, 
could be reconfigured to deal with the threat of in-
termediate-range ground launched cruise missiles 
with modest changes to ‘‘the software, [and] with a 
minor hardware addition.’’. 
(4) The ‘‘Report on Conventional Prompt Glob-
al Strike Options if Exempt from the Restrictions of 
the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty Be-
tween the United States of America and the Union 
of Soviet Socialist Republics’’ provided to the Com-
mittee on Armed Services of the House of Rep-
resentatives in September 2013 by the Chairman of

the INF Treaty, four types of weapons systems 
could assist in closing the existing JROC-validated 
capability gap: (1) Modifications to existing short 
range or tactical weapon systems to extend range; 
(2) Forward-based, ground-launched cruise missiles 
(GLCMs); (3) Forward-based, ground-launched in-
termediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs); and (4) 
Forward-based, ground-launched intermediate-range 
missiles with trajectory shaping vehicles (TSVs).’’. 
(5) The report further stated that, ‘‘[b]ecause 
of INF restrictions, examination of prohibited con-
cepts has not been performed by industry or the 
Services. Trade studies regarding capability, afford-
ability, and development timelines would have to be 
completed prior to providing an accurate estimate of 
cost, technology risk, and timeline advantages that 
could be achieved with respect to these concepts. Ex-
tensive knowledge could be leveraged from past and 
current land- and sea-based systems to assist in po-
tential development and deployment of these cur-
rently prohibited concepts.’’. 
(6) President Obama stated in Prague in April 
2009 that ‘‘Rules must be binding. Violations must 
be punished. Words must mean something.’’.

(7) The Nuclear Posture Review of 2010 stat-
ed, ‘‘it is not enough to detect non-compliance; viola-
tors must know that they will face consequences 
when they are caught.’’. 
(8) The July 2010 Verifiability Assessment re-
leased by the Department of State on the New 
START Treaty, and as quoted in a hearing of the 
Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, stated: 
‘‘[t]he costs and risks of Russian cheating or break-
out, on the other hand, would likely be very signifi-
cant’’ and that the Russian Federation would be un-
likely to cheat because of the ‘‘financial and inter-
national political costs of such an action.’’. 
(b) PLAN FOR TESTING OF AEGIS ASHORE.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Director of the Missile 
Defense Agency shall develop a plan to test, by not 
later than December 31, 2015, the capability of the
