IX Department of Defense Organization and Management A Goldwater-Nichols Reform 901. Sense of Congress on Goldwater-Nichols Reform It is the sense of Congress that the following principles should be adhered to in any reform of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986: (1) Civilian control of the military and the civilian chain of command must be preserved. (2) The role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in providing independent military advice, as the principal military advisor to the President and the Secretary of Defense, must be preserved. (3) Any changes to the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 should be rooted in a clear identification and understanding of the issues and the objectives and ramifications of any changes. (4) Any changes to the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 should enhance the capabilities of the United States Armed Forces. (5) Each Geographical Unified Command has its own distinct area of emphasis and expertise, as well as requirements and responsibilities. Combining Northern Command and Southern Command, or combining European Command and Africa Command, would severely degrade mission effectiveness, but would provide only marginal increased efficiency. Additionally, consolidating Geographic Unified Commands would cause unacceptable risk to both global strategic influence as well as regional capability, and would exacerbate already significant capacity challenges. (6) The emphasis on strategy and planning in the Goldwater-Nichols Act must be sustained. (7) Complex security challenges will become increasingly transregional, multi-domain, and multi-functional. (8) Therefore, the Department of Defense, including streamlined headquarters staffs, must be more agile and adaptive. 902.

Reform of National Security Council (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The National Security Council has increasingly micromanaged military operations and centralized decisionmaking within the staff of the National Security Council. The size of the staff has contributed this problem. (2) As stated by former Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, It was the operational micromanagement that drove me nuts of White House and [National Security Council] staffers calling senior commanders out in the field and asking them questions, second guessing commanders , and by another former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, [B]ecause of that centralization of that authority at the White House, there are too few voices being heard in terms of the ability to make decisions and that includes members of the cabinet. . (3) Gates stated, You have 25 people working on a single military problem... They are going to be doing things they shouldn’t be doing, and Panetta noted, The National Security Council has grown enormously, which means you have a lot more staff people running around at the White House on these foreign policy issues. . (4) Press reports indicate that National Security Council micromanagement has included selecting targets in ongoing military operations, specifying detailed parameters and limitations on military operations, and managing military planning and the execution of plans. (5) As stated in section 101(a) of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3021(a) ), the function of the Council shall be to advise the President with respect to the integration of domestic, foreign, and military policies relating to the national security so as to enable the military services and the other departments and agencies of the Government to cooperate more effectively in matters involving the national security . (6) As stated in the November 1961 staff reports and recommendations on Organizing for National Security submitted to the Committee on Government Operations of the Senate by the Subcommittee on National Policy Machinery, The Council is an interagency committee: It can inform, debate, review, adjust, and validate... The Council is not a decisionmaking body; it does not itself make policy. It serves only in an advisory capacity to the President, helping him arrive at decisions which he alone can make. . (7) As noted in the 1987 Report of the President’s Special Review Board (commonly known as the Tower Commission Report ), As a general matter, the [National Security Council] staff should not engage in the implementation of policy or the conduct of operations. This compromises their oversight role and usurps the responsibilities of the departments and agencies. . (8) As noted in the Addendum on Structure and Process Analyses: Volume II – Executive Office of the President, accompanying the February 2001 U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century (commonly known as the Hart-Rudman Commission ), [T]he degree to which the [National Security Council] gets involved in operational issues raises a question of congressional oversight. Today there is limited congressional oversight of the [National Security Council]... Assigning the [National Security Council] greater operational responsibility would likely result in calls for more congressional oversight and legislative control... . (9) According to analysis from the Brookings Institution’s National Security Council Project, the size of the National Security Council staff from the early 1960s to the mid-1990s remained consistently under 60 personnel. Since then, it has grown significantly in size. (10) As former National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, wrote in The NSC’s Midlife Crisis in Foreign Policy, Winter 1987–1988, There is no magic number, but it would appear that for successful strategic planning and policy coordination 30-40 senior staff members are probably adequate. However, to ensure effective supervision over policy implementation as well, the size of the staff should be somewhat larger. An optimal figure for the senior staff probably would be about 50 senior staff members. . (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the function of the National Security Council, consistent with the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3001 et seq. ), is to advise the President as an independent honest broker on national security matters, to coordinate national security activities across departments and agencies, and to make recommendations to the President regarding national security objectives and policy, and the size of the staff of the National Security Council should be appropriately aligned to this function; (2) the President is entitled to privacy in the Office of the President and to a confidential relationship with the National Security Advisor and the National Security Council; and (3) however, a National Security Council, enabled by a large staff, that assumes a central policymaking or operational role is no longer advisory and should be publicly accountable to the American people through Senate confirmation of its leadership and the activities of the Council subject to direct oversight by Congress. (c) Amendments to National Security Act of 1947 Section 101 of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3021 ), is amended— (1) in subsection (a)— (A) in paragraph (5), by striking and ; (B) in paragraph (6), by striking the period at the end and inserting ; and ; and (C) by adding after paragraph (6) the following new paragraph: (7) the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. ; (2) in subsection (c), by striking shall receive compensation at the rate of $10,000 a year. and inserting shall report to, and be under the general supervision of, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. ; (3) by redesignating subsections (d) through (l) as subsections (e) through (m), respectively; and (4) by inserting after subsection (c) the following new subsection: (d) (1) (A) Except as provided by subparagraph (B), the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs shall be appointed by the President. (B) If the staff of the Council exceeds 100 covered employees at any point during a term of the President, and for the duration of such term (without regard to any changes to the number of such covered employees), the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. (2) (A) Beginning on the date on which the staff of the Council exceeds 100 covered employees, the person appointed as the Assistant under paragraph (1)(A), the person nominated by the President to be appointed the Assistant under paragraph (1)(B), or any other person designated by the President to serve as the Assistant in an acting capacity, may serve in an acting capacity for no longer than 210 days. (B) If the person nominated by the President to be appointed the Assistant under paragraph (1)(B) is rejected by the Senate, withdrawn, or returned to the President by the Senate, the President shall nominate another person and the person serving as the acting Assistant may continue to serve— (i) until the second nomination is confirmed; or (ii) for no more than 210 days after the second nomination is rejected, withdrawn, or returned. (3) The President shall notify Congress in writing not more than seven days after the date on which the staff of the Council exceeds 100 covered employees. (4) In this subsection, the term covered employees means each of the following officers and employees (counted without regard to full-time equivalent basis): (A) Officers and employees occupying a position funded by the Executive Office of the President performing a function of the Council. (B) Officers, employees, and members of the Armed Forces from any department, agency, or independent establishment of the executive branch of the Government that are on detail to the Council performing a function of the Council. .

Sense of Congress regarding Connecticut’s Submarine Century (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) On March 2, 1867, Congress enacted a naval appropriations Act that authorized the Secretary of the Navy to receive and accept a deed of gift, when offered by the State of Connecticut, of a tract of land with not less than one mile of shore front on the Thames River near New London, Connecticut, to be held by the United States for naval purposes . (2) The people of Connecticut and the towns and cities in the southeastern region of Connecticut subsequently gifted land to establish a military installation to fulfil the Nation’s need for a naval facility on the Atlantic coast. (3) On April 11, 1868, the Navy accepted the deed of gift of land from Connecticut to establish a naval yard and storage depot along the eastern shore of the Thames River in Groton, Connecticut. (4) Between 1868 and 1912, the New London Navy Yard supported a diverse range of missions, including berthing inactive Civil War era ironclad warships and serving as a coaling station for refueling naval ships traveling in New England waters. (5) Congress rejected the Navy’s proposal to close New London Navy Yard in 1912, following an impassioned effort by Congressman Edwin W. Higgins, who stated that this action proposed is not only unjust but unreasonable and unsound as a military proposition . (6) The outbreak of World War I and the enemy use of submarines to sink allied military and civilian ships in the Atlantic sparked a new focus on developing submarine capabilities in the United States. (7) October 18, 1915, marked the arrival at the New London Navy Yard of the submarines G–1, G–2, and G–4 under the care of the tender U.S.S. OZARK, soon followed by the arrival of submarines E–1, D–1, and D–3 under the care of the tender U.S.S. TONOPAH, and on November 1, 1915, the arrival of the first ship built as a submarine tender, the U.S.S. FULTON (AS–1). (8) On June 21, 1916, Commander Yeates Stirling assumed the command of the newly designated Naval Submarine Base New London, the New London Submarine Flotilla, and the Submarine School. (9) In the 100 years since the arrival of the first submarines to the base, Naval Submarine Base New London has grown to occupy more than 680 acres along the east side of the Thames River, with more than 160 major facilities, 15 nuclear submarines, and more than 70 tenant commands and activities, including the Submarine Learning Center, Naval Submarine School, the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory, the Naval Undersea Medical Institute, and the newly established Undersea Warfighting Development Center. (10) In addition to being the site of the first submarine base in the United States, Connecticut was home to the foremost submarine manufacturers of the time, the Lake Torpedo Boat Company in Bridgeport and the Electric Boat Company in Groton, which later became General Dynamics Electric Boat. (11) General Dynamics Electric Boat, its talented workforce, and its Connecticut-based and nationwide network of suppliers have delivered more than 200 submarines from its current location in Groton, Connecticut, including the first nuclear-powered submarine, the U.S.S. NAUTILUS (SSN 571), and nearly half of the nuclear submarines ever built by the United States. (12) The Submarine Force Library and Museum, located adjacent to Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, is the only submarine museum operated by the United States Navy and today serves as the primary repository for artifacts, documents, and photographs relating to the bold and courageous history of the Submarine Force and highlights as its core exhibit the Historic Ship NAUTILUS (SSN 571) following her retirement from service. (13) Reflecting the close ties between Connecticut and the Navy that began with the gift of land that established the base, the State of Connecticut has set aside $40,000,000 in funding for critical infrastructure investments to support the mission of the base, including construction of a new dive locker building, expansion of the Submarine Learning Center, and modernization of energy infrastructure. (14) On September 29, 2015, Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy designated October 2015 through October 2016 as Connecticut's Submarine Century, a year-long observance that celebrates 100 years of submarine activity in Connecticut, including the Town of Groton's distinction as the Submarine Capital of the World, to coincide with the centennial anniversary of the establishment of Naval Submarine Base New London and the Naval Submarine School. (15) Whereas Naval Submarine Base New London still proudly proclaims its motto of The First and Finest . (16) Congressman Higgins’ statement before Congress in 1912 that Connecticut stands ready, as she always has, to bear her part of the burdens of the national defense remains true today. (b) Sense of Congress Congress— (1) commends the longstanding dedication and contribution to the Navy and submarine force by the people of Connecticut, both through the initial deed of gift that established what would become Naval Submarine Base New London and through their ongoing commitment to support the mission of the base and the Navy personnel assigned to it; (2) honors the submariners who have trained and served at Naval Submarine Base New London throughout its history in support of the Nation’s security and undersea superiority; (3) recognizes the contribution of the industry and workforce of Connecticut in designing, building, and sustaining the Navy’s submarine fleet; and (4) encourages the recognition of Connecticut’s Submarine Century by Congress, the Navy, and the American people by honoring the contribution of the people of Connecticut to the defense of the United States and the important role of the submarine force in safeguarding the security of the United States for more than a century. 1090.

(3) Judicial action (A) The United States Court of Appeals for the circuit in which the export facility will be located pursuant to an application described in paragraph (1) shall have original jurisdiction over any civil action for the review of— (i) an order issued by the Department of Energy with respect to such application; or (ii) the Department of Energy’s failure to issue a final decision on such application. (B) If the Court in a civil action described in subparagraph (A) finds that the Department of Energy has failed to issue a final decision on the application as required under paragraph (1), the Court shall order the Department of Energy to issue such final decision not later than 30 days after the Court’s order. (C) The Court shall set any civil action brought under this paragraph for expedited consideration and shall set the matter on the docket as soon as practical after the filing date of the initial pleading. (b) Public disclosure of export destinations Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act ( 15 U.S.C. 717b ) is amended by adding at the end the following: (g) Public Disclosure of LNG Export Destinations As a condition for approval of any authorization to export LNG, the Secretary of Energy shall require the applicant to publicly disclose the specific destination or destinations of any such authorized LNG exports. . 1091. Sense of Congress regarding the reporting of the MV–22 mishap in Marana, Arizona, on April 8, 2000 It is the sense of Congress that— (1) in the report accompanying H.R. 1735 of the 114th Congress (House Report 114–102), the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives encouraged the Secretary of Defense to publicly clarify the causes of the MV-22 mishap at Marana Northwest Regional Airport, Arizona, in a way consistent with the results of all investigations as soon as possible ; (2) the Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert O. Work did an excellent job reviewing the investigations of such mishap and concluded that there was a misrepresentation of facts by the media which incorrectly identified pilot error as the cause of the mishap which the Deputy Secretary publicly made known in March 2016; and (3) Congress is grateful for the successful conclusion to this tragic situation. 1092.

Sense of Congress regarding the importance of Panama City, Florida, to the history and future of the armed forces (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) On December 6, 1941—one day before the attack on Pearl Harbor—the War Department established Tyndall Field as an Army Air Force gunnery school in Panama City, Florida. (2) Tyndall Field was named in honor of native Floridian Lieutenant Francis B. Tyndall, who received the U.S. Air Force flying ace designation for his service in the First World War. (3) Tyndall Field became an important center for aerial gunnery training during the Second World War, hosting training missions using aircraft including A–33, 0–47, AT-6, Martin B-26 Marauders, and B–17 bombers. (4) On January 13, 1948, Tyndall Field became Tyndall Air Force Base and was an active site for air training and defense throughout the Cold War. (5) Tyndall AFB is now home to the First Air Force as well as the 325th Fighter Wing Headquarters and their F–22 Raptors. (6) The 325th Fighter Wing has been instrumental to national security at such crucial junctures as the Cuban Missile Crisis, throughout the Cold War, and more recently in intercepting unidentified aircraft and supporting anti-smuggling efforts. (7) On July 20, 1945, the Navy Mine Countermeasure Station was established in Panama City. (8) The Navy Mine Countermeasure Station developed into the Naval Support Activity Panama City (NSAPC), which has faithfully carried out its mission since its inception and continues to support the crucial efforts and important research of tenant command organizations such as the Naval Surface Warfare Center: Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) and the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU). (9) Research performed at NSWC PCD has been integral to equipping the Navy with the personnel and technology necessary to maintaining its status as the world’s greatest and most technologically advanced. (10) NSWC PCD’s newest facility, the Littoral Warfare Research Facility, is one of the Navy’s major research, development, test, and evaluation laboratories and where standards for weapons integration on Littoral Combat Ships are often developed. (11) NEDU is a global hub of research, development, and testing for undersea operations. (12) During the Second World War, the Wainwright Shipyard in Panama City built over 100 vessels for the war effort and employed over 15,000 people. (13) Panama City’s shipbuilding legacy continues as home to one of today’s most prolific domestic shipbuilders, Eastern Shipbuilding. (14) The Department of Defense is the largest employer in Panama City, where many of the residents and their relatives have proudly served in the Armed Forces for generations. (b) Sense of Congress Congress— (1) commends the longstanding dedication and contribution to the Armed Forces by the people of Panama City, both through the legacy of naval shipbuilding and through their ongoing commitment to support the mission of Panama City’s military installations and the personnel assigned to them; (2) honors the members of the Armed Forces who have trained and served at the several military installations in and around Panama City; (3) recognizes the contribution of the industry and workforce of Panama City to naval shipbuilding; and (4) encourages the recognition of the importance of Panama City to the history of the Armed Forces by Congress, the Air Force, the Navy, and the American people by honoring the contribution of the people of Panama City to the defense of the United States. 1094.

H United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Preservation Act 1099. Short title This subtitle may be cited as the United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Preservation Act . 1099A. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has been a strategic military asset critical to the defense of the United States and the maintenance of regional security for more than a century. (2) The United States continues to exercise control over the area of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, pursuant to the Guantanamo Lease Agreements, which were initiated and concluded pursuant to an Act of Congress. (3) Senior United States military leaders have consistently voiced strong support for maintaining United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, noting its strategic value for military basing and logistics, disaster relief, humanitarian work, terrorist detention, and counter-narcotics purposes. (4) On February 29, 2016, Secretary of Defense Ashton B. Carter, discussing United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, stated that it’s a strategic location, we've had it for a long time, it's important to us and we intend to hold onto it . (5) On March 12, 2015, Commander of United States Southern Command, General John Kelly, testified that the United States facilities at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay are indispensable to the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and State’s operational and contingency plans. … As the only permanent U.S. military base in Latin America and the Caribbean, its location provides persistent U.S. presence and immediate access to the region, as well as supporting a layered defense to secure the air and maritime approaches to the United States . (6) In testimony before Congress in 2012, then-Commander of United States Southern Command, General Douglas Fraser, stated that the strategic capability provided by U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay remains essential for executing national priorities throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and South America . (7) Following a 1991 coup in Haiti that prompted a mass exodus of people by boat, United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, provided a location for temporary housing and the orderly adjudication of asylum claims outside of the continental United States. (8) In 2010, United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was a critical hub for the provision of humanitarian disaster relief following the devastating earthquakes in Haiti. (9) The United States presence at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has its origins in Acts of Congress undertaken pursuant to the powers of Congress expressly enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. (10) By joint resolution approved on April 20, 1898, Congress directed and empowered the President to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States as necessary to ensure that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters . (11) Congress declared war against Spain on April 25, 1898, which lasted until December 10, 1898, when the United States and Spain signed the Treaty of Paris, in which Spain relinquished all claims of sovereignty over Cuba, and United States governance of Cuba was established. (12) Nearly three years later, in the Act of March 2, 1901 (Chapter 803; 31 Stat. 898), Congress granted the President the authority to return the government and control of the island of Cuba to its people subject to several express conditions including, in article VII of the Act of March 2, 1901, the sale or lease by Cuba to the United States of lands necessary for naval stations. (13) Pursuant to the authority granted by article VII of the Act of March 2, 1901, the United States negotiated the Guantanamo Lease Agreements, which specified the area of, and United States jurisdiction and control over, what became United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. (14) On October 2, 1903, when approving the Lease to the United States by the Government of Cuba of Certain Areas of Land and Water for Naval or Coaling Stations, signed in Havana on July 2, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt cited the Act of March 2, 1901, as providing his authority to do so: I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, having seen and considered the foregoing lease, do hereby approve the same, by virtue of the authority conferred by the seventh of the provisions defining the relations which are to exist between the United States and Cuba, contained in the Act of Congress approved March 2, 1901, entitled An Act making appropriation for the support of the Army for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. . (15) Obtaining United States naval station rights in Cuba was an express condition of the authority that Congress gave the President to return control and governance of Cuba to the people of Cuba. In exercising that authority and concluding the Guantanamo Lease Agreements, President Theodore Roosevelt recognized the source of that authority as the Act of March 2, 1901. (16) The Treaty of Relations between the United States of America and the Republic of Cuba, signed at Washington, May 29, 1934, did not supersede, abrogate, or modify the Guantanamo Lease Agreements, but noted that the stipulations of those agreements shall continue in effect until the United States and Cuba agree to modify them. (17) The Constitution of the United States expressly grants to Congress the power to provide for the common defense of the United States, the power to provide and maintain a Navy, and the power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States . 1099B. Prohibition on modification, abrogation, or other related actions with respect to United States jurisdiction and control over United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, without congressional action No action may be taken to modify, abrogate, or replace the stipulations, agreements, and commitments contained in the Guantanamo Lease Agreements, or to impair or abandon the jurisdiction and control of the United States over United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, unless specifically authorized or otherwise provided by— (1) a statute that is enacted on or after the date of the enactment of this Act; (2) a treaty that is ratified with the advice and consent of the Senate on or after the date of the enactment of this Act; or (3) a modification of the Treaty Between the United States of America and Cuba signed at Washington, DC, on May 29, 1934, that is ratified with the advice and consent of the Senate on or after the date of the enactment of this Act. 1099C. Guantanamo lease agreements defined In this subtitle, the term Guantanamo Lease Agreements means— (1) the Agreement Between the United States of America and the Republic of Cuba for the Lease to the United States of Lands in Cuba for coaling and naval stations, signed by the President of the United States on February 23, 1903; and (2) the Lease to the United States by the Government of Cuba of Certain Areas of Land and Water for Naval or Coaling Stations, signed by the President of the United States on October 2, 1903.

(h) Considerations In carrying out this section, the Secretary of Defense— (1) shall ensure that, of the assignments made under this section each year, at least 20 percent are from small business concerns (as defined by section 3703(e)(2)(A) of title 5); (2) shall take into consideration the question of how assignments under this section might best be used to help meet the needs of the Department of Defense with respect to the training of employees; and (3) shall take into consideration, where applicable, areas of particular private sector expertise, such as cybersecurity. .

Sense of Congress on United States policy and strategy in Afghanistan (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The United States continues to have vital national security interests in ensuring that Afghanistan is a stable, sovereign country. (2) President Obama signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement and a Bilateral Security Agreement with the President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, which commits the United States to the long-term security of, and defense cooperation with, the Government of Afghanistan and designates Afghanistan as a major non-NATO ally . (3) The unity government in Afghanistan, led by President Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah, should be applauded for their continued leadership and commitment to Afghanistan’s stability and security. (4) Stability and security in Afghanistan reinforces stability and security in the region. (5) The best long-term guarantor of stability and security in Afghanistan is a stable unity government and a capable Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF). (6) The President’s current policy is to draw down from 9,800 to 5,500 United States troops by January 1, 2017. As the recent commander in Afghanistan, General John Campbell, testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee, the 5,500 [U.S. troops] plan was developed primarily around counterterrorism. There’s very limited train-advise-and-assist...in those numbers. To continue to build on the Afghan Security Forces, the gaps and seams in aviation, logistics, intelligence...we’d have to make some adjustments to that number. . (7) The President’s policy of limiting the number of United States troops that the commander can employ in Afghanistan is hindering the effectiveness of the United States mission therein. (8) Further, at the current policy of 9,800 United States troops, the new commander of Operation Resolute Support in Afghanistan, General John Mick Nicholson, agreed in testimony with the Senate Armed Services Committee that the security situation in Afghanistan has been deteriorating rather than improving. (9) General John Campbell also stated …Afghan shortfalls will persist beyond 2016. Capability gaps still exist in fixed and rotary-wing aviation, combined arms operations, intelligence collection and dissemination, and maintenance. . (10) General John Campbell further stated I have the authority to protect coalition members against any insurgents…to attack the Taliban just because they’re Taliban, I do not have that authority. . (11) The Taliban have made territorial gains and are holding terrain in key geographic areas in Afghanistan, including in Helmand Province. (12) The Taliban held the city of Kunduz, Afghanistan, which is the first time the Taliban have held a major city in Afghanistan in 14 years. (13) The Haqqani Network, a designated foreign terrorist organization aligned with the Taliban, is the most lethal group on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and continues to provide safe haven to al-Qaeda. (14) The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has established an affiliate in Afghanistan. (15) Since the death of the Taliban’s leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, and the ascendance of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor and Saraj Haqqani, head of the Haqqani Network, to Taliban leadership, the Taliban have not engaged in political reconciliation negotiations with the Government of Afghanistan. (16) The President has the statutory, legal authority to strike the Taliban and the Haqqani Network. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the President should authorize at least 9,800 United States troops to continue the train, advise, and assist and counterterrorism missions in Afghanistan after 2016; (2) the President should provide the United States commander in Afghanistan with the authority to unilaterally strike the Taliban and the Haqqani Network; (3) the President should provide additional resources to strike the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Afghanistan; (4) the President should provide the United States commander in Afghanistan the authority to conduct the train, advise, and assist mission below the corps level of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF); (5) the United States should provide United States Armed Forces lift and close air support to ANDSF units until the ANDSF has a fully capable, organic lift and close air support capability and capacity; (6) the United States should provide monetary and advisory support for 352,000 ANDSF personnel and 30,000 Afghan Local Police, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support, through 2018; (7) it should continue to be a top priority to provide United States Armed Forces deployed to Afghanistan with necessary medical, force protection, and combat search and rescue support; and (8) United States military personnel who are tasked with the mission of providing combat search and rescue support, casualty evacuation, and medical support should not be counted as part of any force management level limitation on the number of United States ground forces in Afghanistan. 1216. Special immigrant status for certain Afghans (a) Aliens described Section 602(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 ( 8 U.S.C. 1101 note) is amended to read as follows: (I) (aa) by, or on behalf of, the United States Government, in the case of an alien submitting an application for Chief of Mission approval pursuant to subparagraph (D) before the date of the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017; or (bb) in the case of an alien submitting an application for Chief of Mission approval pursuant to subparagraph (D) on or after the date of the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, in a capacity that required the alien— (AA) to serve as an interpreter or translator for personnel of the Department of State or the United States Agency for International Development in Afghanistan while traveling away from United States embassies or consulates with such personnel; (BB) to serve as an interpreter or translator for United States military personnel in Afghanistan while traveling off-base with such personnel; or (CC) to perform sensitive and trusted activities for United States military personnel stationed in Afghanistan; or . (b) Numerical limitations Clauses (i) and (ii) of section 602(b)(3)(F) of such Act are each amended by striking December 31, 2016; and inserting December 31, 2017; . (c) Report Section 602(b)(14) of such Act is amended— (1) by striking Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this paragraph, and inserting Not later than December 31, 2016, and annually thereafter through January 31, 2021, ; and (2) in subparagraph (A)(i), by striking under this section; and inserting under subclause (I) or (II)(bb) of paragraph (2)(A)(ii); . 1217. Modification to semiannual report on enhancing security and stability in Afghanistan Subsection (b) of section 1225 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. Buck McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 ( Public Law 113–291 ; 128 Stat. 3550), as amended by section 1213 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 ( Public Law 114–92 ; 129 Stat. 1045), is further amended by adding at the end the following: (8) Afghan Personnel and Pay System A description of the status of the implementation of the Afghan Personnel and Pay System (APPS) at the Afghan Ministry of Interior and the Afghan Ministry of Defense for personnel funds provided through the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund, including a description of the following: (A) The expected completion date of installation and full implementation and utilization of the APPS. (B) If installation of the APPS is complete at one, or both, ministries, the extent to which the APPS is being utilized to distribute personnel funds to the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police. (C) If installation of the APPS is not complete at one, or both, ministries, or full implementation and utilization of the APPS has not been achieved at one, or both, ministries, an explanation of any delays, any expected obstacles, and any additional support that may be needed for installation or full implementation and utilization. (D) Any examples of intentional delay or obstruction by members of the Government of Afghanistan, to include one, or both, ministries, or any sub-unit thereof, to installing or fully implementing or utilizing the APPS. (E) If the APPS is fully implemented at one, or both, ministries, the identified cost savings to date, due to the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse at the ministry compared to the previous payroll system. If the APPS is not fully implemented at one, or both, ministries, the expected cost savings due to the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse at the ministry once the APPS is fully implemented. (F) If the APPS is not fully implemented, what steps the United States and Afghanistan are taking to mitigate waste, fraud, and abuse in the disbursement of personnel funds provided through the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund. . 1218. Sense of Congress relating to Dr. Shakil Afridi (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The attacks of September 11, 2001, killed approximately 3,000 people, most of whom were Americans, but also included hundreds of individuals with foreign citizenships, nearly 350 New York Fire Department personnel, and about 50 law enforcement officers. (2) Downed United Airlines flight 93 was reportedly intended, under the control of the al-Qaeda high-jackers, to crash into the White House or the Capitol in an attempt to kill the President of the United States or Members of the United States Congress. (3) The September 11, 2001, attacks were largely planned and carried out by the al-Qaeda terrorist network led by Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahiri, after which Osama bin Laden enjoyed safe haven in Pakistan from where he continued to plot deadly attacks against the United States and the world. (4) The United States has obligated nearly $30 billion between 2002 and 2014 in United States taxpayer money for security and economic aid to Pakistan. (5) The United States very generously and swiftly responded to the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake in Pakistan with more than $200 million in emergency aid and the support of several United States military aircraft, approximately 1,000 United States military personnel, including medical specialists, thousands of tents, blankets, water containers and a variety of other emergency equipment. (6) The United States again generously and swiftly contributed approximately $150 million in emergency aid to Pakistan following the 2010 Pakistan flood, in addition to the service of nearly twenty United States military helicopters, their flight crews, and other resources to assist the Pakistan Army’s relief efforts. (7) The United States continues to work tirelessly to support Pakistan’s economic development, including millions of dollars allocated towards the development of Pakistan’s energy infrastructure, health services and education system. (8) The United States and Pakistan continue to have many critical shared interests, both economic and security related, which could be the foundation for a positive and mutually beneficial partnership. (9) Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician, is a hero to whom the people of the United States, Pakistan and the world owe a debt of gratitude for his help in finally locating Osama bin Laden before more innocent American, Pakistani and other lives were lost to this terrorist leader. (10) Pakistan, the United States and the international community had failed for nearly 10 years following attacks of September 11, 2001, to locate and bring Osama bin Laden, who continued to kill innocent civilians in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa and the United States, to justice without the help of Dr. Afridi. (11) The Government of Pakistan’s imprisonment of Dr. Afridi presents a serious and growing impediment to the United States’ bilateral relations with Pakistan. (12) The Government of Pakistan has leveled and allowed baseless charges against Dr. Afridi in a politically motivated, spurious legal process. (13) Dr. Afridi is currently imprisoned by the Government of Pakistan, a deplorable and unconscionable situation which calls into question Pakistan’s actual commitment to countering terrorism and undermines the notion that Pakistan is a true ally in the struggle against terrorism. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that Dr. Shakil Afridi is an international hero and that the Government of Pakistan should release him immediately from prison. 1219. Report on access to financial records of the Government of Afghanistan to audit the use of funds for assistance for Afghanistan Not later than December 31, 2017, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report on the extent to which the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan has adequate access to financial records of the Government of Afghanistan to audit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2017 for assistance for Afghanistan.

Modification and extension of authority to provide assistance to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (a) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) it should be the policy of the United States to support, within the framework of the Iraqi Constitution, the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga, the Iraqi Security Forces, and Sunni tribal forces in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant; (2) recognizing the important role of the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga within the military campaign against ISIL in Iraq, the United States should provide arms, training, and appropriate equipment directly to the Kurdistan Regional Government; (3) efforts should be made to ensure transparency and oversight mechanisms are in place for oversight of United States assistance to combat waste, fraud, and abuse; and (4) securing safe areas, including the Nineveh Plain, for purposes of resettling and reintegrating ethnic and religious minorities, including victims of genocide, into their homelands, is a critical component of a safe, secure, and sovereign Iraq.

Sense of Congress condemning continuing attacks on medical facilities in Syria (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Attacks intentionally targeting civilians, medical personnel, or medical facilities constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law. (2) In Syria, schools, markets, and hospitals are routinely destroyed in attacks and medical providers routinely targeted for attacks. (3) Physicians for Human Rights has documented at least 350 airstrikes against medical facilities and the deaths of over 700 medical personnel in Syria since 2011. (4) So far in May 2016, there have been at least six attacks on medical facilities in the city of Aleppo alone in less than a week killing dozens, including the last pediatrician still working in Aleppo. (5) These attacks seriously hinder access to medical care and are compounded by ongoing efforts by the Syrian regime to block or limit humanitarian aid to Syrians. (6) Secretary of State John Kerry has condemned these attacks arguing, there is no justification for this horrific violence that targets civilians or medical facilities or first responders no matter who it is, whether it’s a member of the opposition retaliating or the regime in its brutality against the civilians which has continued for five years. . (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Department of Defense and all other appropriate United States Government agencies should continue to strongly condemn and call for an immediate end to attacks on medical facilities and medical providers in Syria and work to ensure that doctors can do their job and provide care to the those in need; (2) humanitarian crises in Syria and Iraq, exacerbated by targeted attacks on medical facilities, personnel, and schools, threaten the achievement of United States goals in the region, such as destroying and dismantling the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and peace and stability in the region, including Syria; (3) the United States and international community should do more to support medical professionals and medical nonprofit organizations working in Syria, at great risk to their personal well-being, to treat the ill and infirm and ensure some level of medical care for Syrians; and (4) the Department of Defense is strongly encouraged to support, where appropriate, other appropriate United States Government agencies and entities engaged in meeting urgent and increasing humanitarian and medical needs in Syria, especially in areas where medical facilities and providers have been targeted by the Syrian regime, ISIL, or Al-Qaeda. 1227. United Nations processing center in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, to assist internationally-displaced communities The President shall instruct the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations to use the voice and vote of the United States at the United Nations to seek the establishment of a United Nations processing center in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, to assist internationally-displaced communities. 1228. Sense of Congress on business practices of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) For nearly two years, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has capitalized on established oil production facilities throughout Iraq and Syria in order to fund its jihadist operations globally. (2) Oil production and sale represent the largest and most vulnerable income factors for ISIS. (3) In 2015, ISIS oil sales brought in over $400,000,000 to prop up the terror group’s operations world-wide. (4) ISIS has executed a robust recruitment scheme to staff and operate the oil facilities within the group’s control and maintained smuggling routes for the sale of that oil. (5) Further disrupting ISIS oil production and sale structures would be minimally invasive but would effectively curtail the terror group’s ability to self-finance. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the United States should focus all necessary efforts in the Middle East to disrupt the financing of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) through oil production and sale. 1229.

(ii) What the cost would be to provide enhanced access to such commercial imagery or other capabilities as compared to the current imagery sharing through the Open Skies Treaty. (iii) Whether any new agreements would be needed to provide enhanced access to such commercial imagery or other capabilities and what would be required to obtain such agreements.

Statement of policy on United States efforts in Europe to reassure United States partners and allies and deter aggression by the Government of the Russian Federation (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Russian Federation, under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin, continues to demonstrate its intent to expand its sphere of influence and limit Western influence both regionally and globally. (2) In March 2016, at a House Armed Services Committee hearing discussing worldwide threats, Major General James Marrs, Director for Intelligence in the Joint Staff stated, principally, what we are seeing in Russia…is just a breadth of capabilities from strategic systems to anti access area denial to even, I would say, a growing adeptness at operating sort of just short of traditional military conflict that is posing a significant challenge in the future . (3) In July 2015, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee, that Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security . In November 2015, Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, discussed the need for adapting our operational posture and contingency plans…to deter Russia’s aggression . (4) In February 2016, the Rand Corporation released its report, Reinforcing Deterrence on NATO’s Eastern Flank , concluding that at a maximum it would take Russian forces approximately 60 hours to reach the capitals of Estonia and Latvia, exhibiting the challenge to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries of successfully defending such territory with its current posture and capability. (5) In February 2016, the Center for Strategic and International Studies released its report, Evaluating U.S. Army Force Posture in Europe , calling for increased pre-positioned sets of United States military equipment, increased rotational forces and associated enablers, increased logistics capabilities, and increased investment in combating unconventional warfare methods in Europe. (6) In February 2016, the National Commission on the Future of the Army released its findings and recommendations, which included Recommendation 14 calling for stationing an Armored Brigade Combat Team Forward in Europe and Recommendation 15 calling for the conversion of Army Europe Aviation Headquarters to a warfighting mission command. (7) In the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 ( Public Law 114–92 ) and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 ( Public Law 113–291 ), Congress authorized approximately $1,800,000,000 for the European Reassurance Initiative to reassure allies through expanded United States military presence in Europe through rotational deployments of United States troops, bilateral and multilateral exercises, improved infrastructure, increased pre-positioned United States military equipment, and building partnership capacity. (8) The budget of the President for fiscal year 2017 submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, includes $3,420,000,000 for the European Reassurance Initiative to begin the transition from primarily reassuring United States partners and allies to deterring the Russian Federation. (9) The request encompasses a large increase of conventional resources, including additional rotational deployments of United States troops and pre-positioning an Armored Brigade Combat Team’s worth of equipment into Europe. (10) The request also includes increased funding for unconventional warfare resources, including cyber and special operations forces, as well as for intelligence and indicators and warning. (b) Statement of policy (1) In general It is the policy of the United States to reassure United States partners and allies in Europe and to work with United States partners and allies to deter aggression by the Government of the Russian Federation in order to enhance regional and global security and stability. (2) Conduct of policy The policy described in paragraph (1) shall, among other things, be carried out through a comprehensive defense strategy and guidance to outline the future path of defense resources and capabilities in the European theater. Such strategy and guidance shall include— (A) use and expansion of conventional methods, including increased United States presence, pre-positioning of United States military equipment, increased infrastructure, and building partnership capacity in Europe; (B) emphasis on developing capabilities for countering unconventional methods of warfare, including cyber warfare, economic warfare, information operations, and intelligence operations; and (C) encouraging security assistance and capabilities of partners and allies, including NATO member countries. 1235.

(2) Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2014, 64 Ukrainian border guards have been killed and another 391 have been wounded. (3) Implementation of the Minsk Agreement, signed in February 2015, requires the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine to reestablish border checkpoints in currently uncontrolled territory and to monitor the border to verify full implementation of the Agreement. (4) Ukraine is developing engineering and technical systems to strengthen the controlled border between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, Ukrainian maritime borders, and areas adjacent to the uncontrolled territory and occupied Crimea. (5) Russian unmanned aerial vehicles are being used to support Russian-backed separatist artillery fire against Ukrainian forces. (6) Due to a lack of resources and equipment, Ukraine lacks an effective early warning network to warn of any new aggression on the border. (7) Section 1250 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 ( Public Law 114–92 ; 129 Stat. 1068) calls for the United States to provide to Ukraine critical training and equipment to enhance the capabilities of the military and other security forces of Ukraine to defend against further aggression from the Russian Federation and Russian-backed separatists. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States should continue to support the Government of Ukraine’s efforts to provide and maintain security in Ukraine; (2) the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine needs sufficient equipment and technical assistance to defend and monitor Ukraine’s borders and to fully implement the Minsk Agreement; and (3) the Department of Defense should continue its work with the Ukrainian military, Ukrainian National Guard, and Ukrainian State Border Guard Service to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses and defend its borders against aggressive actions.

Plain language rewrite of requirements for small business procurements Section 15(a) of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 644(a) ) is amended to read as follows: (a) Small business procurements (1) In general For purposes of this Act, small business concerns shall receive any award or contract if such award or contract is, in the determination of the Administrator and the contracting agency, in the interest of— (A) maintaining or mobilizing the full productive capacity of the United States; (B) war or national defense programs; or (C) assuring that a fair proportion of the total purchase and contracts for goods and services of the Government in each industry category (as described under paragraph (2)) are awarded to small business concerns. (2) Industry category defined (A) In general In this subsection, the term industry category means a discrete group of similar goods and services, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with the North American Industry Classification System codes used to establish small business size standards, except that the Administrator shall limit an industry category to a greater extent than provided under the North American Industry Classification codes if the Administrator receives evidence indicating that further segmentation of the industry category is warranted— (i) due to special capital equipment needs; (ii) due to special labor requirements; (iii) due to special geographic requirements, except as provided in subparagraph (B); (iv) due to unique Federal buying patterns or requirements; or (v) to recognize a new industry. (B) Exception for geographic requirements The Administrator may not further segment an industry category based on geographic requirements unless— (i) the Government typically designates the geographic area where work for contracts for goods or services is to be performed; (ii) Government purchases comprise the major portion of the entire domestic market for such goods or services; and (iii) it is unreasonable to expect competition from business concerns located outside of the general geographic area due to the fixed location of facilities, high mobilization costs, or similar economic factors. (3) Determinations with respect to awards or contracts Determinations made pursuant to paragraph (1) may be made for individual awards or contracts, any part of an award or contract or task order, or for classes of awards or contracts or task orders. (4) Increasing prime contracting opportunities for small business concerns (A) Description of covered proposed procurements The requirements of this paragraph shall apply to a proposed procurement that includes in its statement of work goods or services currently being supplied or performed by a small business concern and, as determined by the Administrator— (i) is in a quantity or of an estimated dollar value which makes the participation of a small business concern as a prime contractor unlikely; (ii) in the case of a proposed procurement for construction, if such proposed procurement seeks to bundle or consolidate discrete construction projects; or (iii) is a solicitation that involves an unnecessary or unjustified bundling of contract requirements. (B) Notice to procurement center representatives With respect to proposed procurements described in subparagraph (A), at least 30 days before issuing a solicitation and concurrent with other processing steps required before issuing the solicitation, the contracting agency shall provide a copy of the proposed procurement to the procurement center representative of the contracting agency (as described in subsection (l)) along with a statement explaining— (i) why the proposed procurement cannot be divided into reasonably small lots (not less than economic production runs) to permit offers on quantities less than the total requirement; (ii) why delivery schedules cannot be established on a realistic basis that will encourage the participation of small business concerns in a manner consistent with the actual requirements of the Government; (iii) why the proposed procurement cannot be offered to increase the likelihood of the participation of small business concerns; (iv) in the case of a proposed procurement for construction, why the proposed procurement cannot be offered as separate discrete projects; or (v) why the agency has determined that the bundling of contract requirements is necessary and justified. (C) Alternatives to increase prime contracting opportunities for small business concerns If the procurement center representative believes that the proposed procurement will make the participation of small business concerns as prime contractors unlikely, the procurement center representative, within 15 days after receiving the statement described in subparagraph (B), shall recommend to the contracting agency alternative procurement methods for increasing prime contracting opportunities for small business concerns. (D) Failure to agree on an alternative procurement method If the procurement center representative and the contracting agency fail to agree on an alternative procurement method, the Administrator shall submit the matter to the head of the appropriate department or agency for a determination. (5) Contracts for sale of Government property With respect to a contract for the sale of Government property, small business concerns shall receive any such contract if, in the determination of the Administrator and the disposal agency, the award of such contract is in the interest of assuring that a fair proportion of the total sales of Government property be made to small business concerns. (6) Sale of electrical power or other property Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to change any preferences or priorities established by law with respect to the sale of electrical power or other property by the Federal Government. (7) Costs exceeding fair market price A contract may not be awarded under this subsection if the cost of the contract to the awarding agency exceeds a fair market price. . 1802.
