Sense of Congress regarding mental health counseling for members of the Armed Forces and families (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) It has been shown that some members of the Armed Forces struggle with post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health disorders from traumatic events experienced during combat. (2) It has also been shown that emotional distress and trauma from life events can be exacerbated by traumatic events experienced during combat. (3) Members of the Armed Forces who struggle with post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health disorders are often unable to provide emotional support to spouses and children, causing emotional distress and the risk of behavioral health disorders among the dependents of the members. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Department of Defense should continue to support members of the Armed Forces and their families by providing family counseling and individual counseling services that reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health disorders and empowers members to be emotionally available to their spouses and children; (2) such services should be readily available at branches of the Department and military bases; (3) the Department should rely on industry standards established by the medical community when developing standards for their own practice of family and individual counseling; and (4) the Department should conduct a five-year study of the progress of members of the Armed Forces that are treated for mental health disorders, including with respect to— (A) difficulty keeping up with treatment; (B) familial status before and after treatment; and (C) access to mental health counseling at Department facilities and military installations. 726.

VIII Acquisition Policy, Acquisition Management, and Related Matters 800. Sense of Congress on the desired tenets of the defense acquisition system (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives held a series of hearings in 2013, 2014, and 2015 gathering testimony from key acquisition leaders and experts. It is clear that the acquisition reform efforts of the last 50 years continue to founder because they fail to address the motivational and environmental factors in which they must be implemented. The acquisition system, though frustrating to all, is in one sense in equilibrium. The acquisition system provides enough benefits to proponents and opponents to continue, with only minor changes, despite its shortcomings. (2) The Armed Forces continue to pursue too many defense acquisitions, chasing too few dollars. Consequently, there remains a vast difference between the budgeting plans of the Department and the reality of the cost of its systems or the services it acquires. (3) To keep programs alive, the Department develops and Congress accepts fragile acquisition strategies that downplay technical issues and assume only successful outcomes from high-risk efforts. As a result, the Department often ends up with too few weapons, with performance that falls short, that are difficult and costly to maintain, delivered late at too high a cost. Congressional and Department of Defense leadership have limited insight into the services acquired or what services need to be acquired in the future. Furthermore, the conventional acquisition process is not agile enough for today’s demands. Finally, the Department of Defense continues to struggle with financial management and auditability, affecting its ability to control costs, ensure basic accountability, anticipate future costs and claims on the budget, and measure performance. (4) Too often today, all stakeholders in the Department of Defense, Congress, and industry, accept that— (A) for the acquisition process, success is defined as maximizing technical performance or protecting organizational interests, without regard to funding disruptions and delivery delays of needed capability or services to the warfighter; and (B) the acquisition process is— (i) reactive, meaning issues are addressed late and at great cost only after problems are realized; (ii) plodding, meaning the bureaucratic processes are sclerotic and cumbersome; (iii) opaque, meaning that limiting information is necessary to protect programs; and (iv) traditional, meaning that customary approaches and suppliers are preferred over perceived risk of new or unique concepts and vendors. (5) Today, the United States is at a cross-roads, and if changes to the acquisition system are not made soon, the trend of fewer and more costly systems and services that fall short of the needs of the Armed Forces will continue. Congress, the Department of Defense, and industry all have a stake in making positive changes. Each plays a role in contributing to the current system. Each gains benefits from that system, but each is frustrated by it as well. (6) The acquisition improvement effort of the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives proposes a different approach from previous efforts by seeking to improve the environment (i.e., statutes, regulations, processes, and culture) driving acquisition decisions in the Department of Defense, industry, and Congress. The Committee has solicited input from industry and the Department of Defense, as well as others in Congress, and will continue to do so. The Committee recognizes that there are no silver bullets that can immediately fix the current acquisition system in a holistic and long-standing manner. Therefore, the reform effort will be an ongoing and iterative process that will result in legislation not only this year, but will be embedded in the Committee’s annual and regular work. (b) Sense of congress on the tenets of an improved acquisition system It is the sense of Congress that all stakeholders in the acquisition system—the Department of Defense, Congress, and industry—should be governed by the following tenets: (1) Success Success in the acquisition system means the timely delivery of affordable and effective military equipment and services. (2) Proactive The acquisition system should be proactive, meaning— (A) the system should recognize that development and acquisition problems can occur; and (B) officials at all levels should be empowered to solve problems and reduce risks by surfacing issues early and honestly and taking action to resolve them. (3) Agile The acquisition system should be agile, meaning that needed program adjustments to both respond to emerging threats and the rapid pace of technological change and to address development or production issues should be proposed and adjudicated quickly. (4) Transparent The acquisition system should be transparent, meaning that— (A) all decision makers should be given useful, relevant, credible, and reliable information when making commitments; (B) Government and industry communication should be clear and open; and (C) the Department of Defense should produce auditable financial management statements. (5) Innovative The acquisition system should be innovative, meaning that barriers should be removed that preclude companies from undertaking defense business or officials from proposing new approaches.

(2) The extent to which protests are filed by incumbent contractors for purposes of extending a contract’s period of performance. (3) The extent to which companies file protests even when those companies do not believe there was an error in the procurement process. (4) The time it takes agencies to implement corrective actions after a ruling or decision. (b) Report Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the independent entity shall provide to the Secretary, the congressional defense committees, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate a report on the results of the study, along with any recommendations it may have. 804.

Extension of demonstration project relating to certain acquisition personnel management policies and procedures Section 1762(g) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by striking 2017 and inserting 2020 . C Weapon Systems Acquisition and Related Matters 821. Sense of Congress on the desired characteristics for the weapon systems acquisition system (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Current situation Despite significant and repeated attempts at acquisition reform, the Department of Defense still experiences case after case of expensive weapon system acquisition failures. The Department of Defense has a track record of too many cancellations, schedule slippages, cost over-runs, and failures to deliver timely solutions to the requirements of the Armed Forces. This situation is unacceptable. For example, according to the Final Report of the 2010 Army Acquisition Review, between 1996 and 2010, the Army expended approximately $1 billion to $3 billion annually on two dozen programs that were eventually cancelled. No military service and no type of weapon acquisition has been immune. (2) Problems in all phases of acquisitions (A) Despite detailed weapon acquisition processes and procedures, there is only limited discipline in starting programs. Many programs begin without a solid foundation. They have too many requirements deemed critical , which are driven by too many organizations and individuals. Approved requirements are often set with only a limited understanding of the technical feasibility of achieving them. The resulting compromises of good program management and engineering judgment that allow the programs to proceed are the spackle of the acquisition system that covers up the risks and enables the system to operate. (B) As these weapon systems proceed into engineering and manufacturing development, they often encounter development problems leading to cost growth, schedule delay, and performance reductions. Industry and Government officials frequently respond by taking additional development risks to resolve basic performance issues by reducing the time to analyze and assess development results, overlapping key development efforts, and reducing testing. The Department of Defense and Congress disrupt the planned funding of stable programs to find resources for troubled programs or to fund across-the-board spending cuts. Funding instability is the inevitable price that programs pay for survival because funding disruptions actually keep more programs alive. (C) Finally, these weapons are often rushed into production only to encounter production problems, and are fielded with many unknowns or deficiencies leading to significantly reduced quantities and force structure reductions. The warfighter faces the challenge of operating weapons with poor reliability, high maintenance demands, reduced performance, and many capability shortfalls. (b) Sense of Congress (1) In general It is the sense of Congress that, in accordance with the tenets described in section 800, to improve weapon system acquisitions, the Department of Defense, Congress, and industry should develop an acquisition system characterized by highly disciplined program initiation coupled with agile program execution and balanced oversight, as described in paragraphs (2), (3), and (4). (2) Highly disciplined program initiation An acquisition system characterized by highly disciplined program initiation means that programs do not begin engineering development until firm requirements are matched to a flexible acquisition strategy structured to develop militarily useful capability that can be delivered in a relevant period of time with available technologies, funding, and management capacity. Such a highly disciplined program initiation includes— (A) a workforce with smart requirements setters and expert buyers, with the knowledge, skills, and experience to successfully plan for and execute highly complex acquisitions; (B) requirements that are well-defined, technically feasible, and affordable; (C) acquisition strategies that are designed to minimize time to market of militarily useful capability, with the program concerned being structured so that— (i) lower-risk, technically mature capabilities are matched to delivering capability to the warfighter in the near term, while remaining requirements are aligned and resources are programmed to support integration into later increments to meet the requirements of the Armed Forces; (ii) capabilities are approved for an increment only when their developmental risks have been appropriately reduced; and (iii) increments are planned to complete engineering and manufacturing development in a reasonable period of time; (D) a science and technology development enterprise that is responsive to the acquisition process before engineering and manufacturing development begins, and sufficiently resourced to reduce risks and enable programs to make smart decisions without losing critical funds; and (E) redtape reduction in order to free up program and Department officials to focus on their mission of defining an executable program and understanding and addressing risks. (3) Agile program execution An acquisition system characterized by agile program execution means a system in which acquisition speed and flexibility to make trade-offs are balanced with the need to achieve desired technical performance. Such agile program execution includes— (A) program managers and program officials who are expert buyers and negotiators who anticipate problems, negotiate solutions, and are empowered to manage; (B) a preference for fixed price contracting where appropriate for the size and complexity of the work and for the nature and scope of the capabilities being developed; (C) program managers who avoid increasing program risk by resisting the addition of new requirements or the reduction of developmental activities; (D) empowering program managers and senior decisionmakers to make decisions easily in order to move forward with capabilities that mature quickly, cancel those that encounter greater difficulties than expected, and trade-off or reduce requirements to maintain cost and schedule; (E) enabling program managers to focus on overcoming execution challenges and delivering success rather than concentrating on compliance with reporting, certifications, and other redtape; and (F) senior decisionmakers who have knowledge of demonstrated performance as programs proceed through development, with robust developmental testing occurring before committing to production for operational use as a basis for decision making. (4) Balanced Oversight An acquisition system characterized by balanced oversight means that the focus is on ensuring discipline initiating programs and that appropriate adjustments are made during development, so that programs have the best chance to succeed. Such balanced oversight includes— (A) involvement by decisionmakers early to ensure that an understanding of trade-offs, risks, and needs are considered, resourced, and validated, and that agreement is reached between the executive and legislative branches; (B) acceptance by decisionmakers that complex weapon system developments are inherently risky and require expertise and flexibility to manage effectively; (C) conscious decisions by decisionmakers regarding where to accept risk, while ensuring that risk mitigation plans are resourced (with time, funding, alternatives, and competent government and contractor officials); (D) measuring and monitoring by decisionmakers of the right factors, such as technology maturation progress and systems engineering during risk reduction, development cost growth during engineering and manufacturing development, and reliability growth during system demonstration; (E) work by Congress and the Department of Defense, once a program has begun, to resolve issues by considering trade-offs among cost, schedule, and performance necessary to best support the warfighter; and (F) congressional understanding of risks and efforts to mitigate such risks even if they are through non-traditional means or other technological advances. 822.

Sense of Congress on procurement of fire hoses (a) Findings (1) The General Services Administration has historically procured specialized fire hoses designed for combating wildfires used by the Forest Service. (2) A memorandum of agreement was signed on February 5, 2014, by the Administrator of General Services and the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency designating the Defense Logistics Agency as the integrated material manager and source of supply for such fire hoses. (3) While the intent of this agreement was to secure efficiencies in procurement and cost savings for the Government, the transfer of procurement authority to the Department of Defense had the unintentional effect of requiring all suppliers of such fire hoses to comply with the domestic sourcing requirements of section 2533a of title 10, United States Code, also known as the Berry Amendment. (4) There is currently only one known provider of such fire hoses and that provider is not fully compliant with the domestic sourcing requirements of the Berry Amendment. (5) As a result of the designation of the Defense Logistic Agency as the integrated material manager for the procurement of such fire hoses and the new requirement for compliance with the Berry Amendment, the Forest Service does not anticipate the ability to procure the necessary number of fire hoses before the fire season begins in early June and is currently facing a shortfall of 56,000 hoses out of the 93,000 required. According to the Chief of the Forest Service, this shortfall represents a critical risk to a number of States that are likely to experience a season of above average wildfire activity. (6) During the period of May 1, 2014, through May 5, 2015, less than 9 percent of quantities of such hoses purchased by the Defense Logistics Agency were procured for the purposes of the Department of Defense. (b) Sense of Congress Based on the findings in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that procurement authority for specialized fire hoses for the United States Forest Service should be reestablished as an activity of the General Services Administration.

Use of lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation method for procurement of audit or audit readiness services (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Given the size and scope of the Department of Defense, the effort to finish and institutionalize auditability is one of the more challenging management tasks that has ever faced the Department. (2) The acquisition of services by the Department abides by many rules and parameters, one of which is the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. (3) The Department’s audit effort is extremely complicated, requiring personnel and assistance who have the financial management and auditor skills that a non-independent public accounting firm or a non-credentialed firm offering the lowest price may not have. (4) In order for the Department to meet the September 30, 2017, audit readiness statutory deadline and the March 31, 2019, audit of fiscal year 2018 statutory deadline, it is imperative that the Department not sacrifice contracts with firms who have the proper credentials and expertise to meet these deadlines. (5) The LPTA evaluation method is appropriate for commercial or non-complex services or supplies where the requirement is clearly definable and the risk of unsuccessful contract performance is minimal.

Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) As senior United States statesman Dr. Henry Kissinger wrote in testimony submitted to the Senate Armed Services Committee on January 29, 2015, The United States has not faced a more diverse and complex array of crises since the end of the Second World War. . (2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer competitors has introduced destabilizing pressures around the globe. (3) Advances in information and weapons technology have reduced the time available for the United States to prepare for and respond to crises against both known and unknown threats. (4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy, A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower : Oceans are the lifeblood of the interconnected global community… 90 percent of trade by volume travels across the oceans. Approximately 70 percent of the world’s population lives within 100 miles of the coastline. . (5) The United States must be prepared to rapidly respond to crises around the world regardless of the nation’s fiscal health. (6) In this global security environment, it is critical that the nation possess a maritime force whose mission and ethos is readiness—a fight tonight force, forward deployed, that can respond immediately to emergent crises across the full range of military operations around the globe either from the sea or home station. (7) The need for such a force was recognized by the 82nd Congress after the major wars of the twentieth century, when it mandated a core mission for the nation’s leanest force—the Marine Corps—to be most ready when the nation is least ready. (b) Sense of Congress (1) It is the sense of Congress that— (A) the Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy, remain the Nation’s expeditionary, crisis response force; (B) the need for such a force with such a capability has never been greater; and (C) accordingly, in recognition of this need and the wisdom of the 82nd Congress, the 114th Congress reaffirms section 5063 of title 10, United States Code, uniquely charging the United States Marine Corps with this responsibility. (2) It is further the sense of Congress that the Marine Corps— (A) shall— (i) be organized to include not less than three combat divisions and three air wings, and such other land combat, aviation, and other services as may be organic therein; (ii) be organized, trained, and equipped to provide fleet marine forces of combined arms, together with supporting air components, for service with the fleet in the seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such land operations as may be essential to the prosecution of a naval campaign; and (iii) provide detachments and organizations for service on armed vessels of the Navy, shall provide security detachments for the protection of naval property at naval stations and bases, and shall perform such other duties as the President may direct; but these additional duties may not detract from nor interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps is primarily organized; (B) shall develop, in coordination with the Army and the Air Force, those phases of amphibious operations that pertain to the tactics, techniques, and equipment used by landing forces; and (C) is responsible, in accordance with the integrated joint mobilization plans, for the expansion of peacetime components of the Marine Corps to meet the needs of war. 905. Additional requirements for streamlining of Department of Defense management headquarters (a) Findings (1) On July 31, 2013, the then Secretary of Defense stated that the Department would reduc[e] the Department’s major headquarters budgets by 20 percent…Although the 20 percent cut applies to budget dollars, organizations will strive for a goal of 20 percent reductions in government civilians and military personnel. The then Secretary further stated that these management reforms…will reduce the Department’s overhead and operating costs by...$10 billion over the next five years. . (2) Furthermore, the President’s budget request for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2015 stated that reductions to management headquarters staff and consolidation of duplicative efforts across the Department would result in a savings of $5.3 billion over 5 years—through fiscal year 2019. However, as noted by the Government Accountability Office in a January 2015 report (GAO–15–10), the Department accounted for $5.3 billion as efficiency savings in its budget request, but has not provided specific details on the reductions to management headquarters’ staff it plans to make. (3) In June 2014, the Government Accountability Office found (in GAO–14–439) that the Department did not have an accurate accounting of the resources being devoted to management headquarters to use as a starting point for tracking reductions to such headquarters. In April 2015, the Government Accountability Office reported (in GAO–15–404SP) that focusing reductions on management headquarters budgets and personnel, which tend to be inconsistently defined and often represent a small portion of the overall headquarters, shields much of the resources identified for potential reduction. (b) Sense of congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Secretary of Defense’s commitment in July 2013 to a goal of a 20 percent reduction in headquarters budgets and personnel and a goal of $10 billion in cost savings over five years is worthwhile and should be fully implemented; (2) without a clear baseline for management headquarters, it is difficult to demonstrate and track progress achieving actual savings; (3) any reduction in personnel should not be implemented as an across-the-board cut, but rather should be strategically designed to retain critical functions, capabilities, and skill sets—including but not limited to depots and the acquisition workforce—and eliminate unnecessary or redundant functions or skill sets that do not benefit or support mission requirements; (4) functions should be performed at the lowest appropriate organizational level and those organizations should be empowered and held accountable; (5) duplicative functions at higher level organizations should be eliminated; and (6) the movement of a function from a management headquarters to a different Department of Defense organization or a lower level organization does not result in an efficiency, since the same budget is still required to perform that function. (c) Requirement to implement 20 percent reduction in management headquarters functions Section 904 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 ( Public Law 113–66 ; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: (e) Implementation of management headquarters reduction The Secretary of Defense shall implement the 20 percent reduction directed by the Secretary in July 2013 in management headquarters budget and personnel by September 30, 2019, for the covered organizations in the National Capital Region (as defined in section 2674(f) of title 10, United States Code). Such reductions shall be strategically designed to retain critical functions, capabilities, and skill sets. Management, functions, programs, or offices shall be moved to the lowest appropriate organizational level. In any report issued pursuant to subsection (d), the Secretary may not claim a cost savings solely based on moving management, functions, programs, or offices from one organization to another. . (d) Limitation on working-capital fund positions Section 904 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 ( Public Law 113–66 ; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) is further amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: (f) Limitation on working-capital fund positions In implementing the 20 percent reduction referred to in subsection (e), the Secretary of Defense may not reduce the number of Department of Defense civilian employees whose salaries are funded from working-capital funds except in accordance with section 2472 of title 10, United States Code. . (e) Change in deadline for required plan Section 904(a) of the such Act is amended by striking 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and inserting March 31, 2016 . (f) Additional elements of plan Section 904(b) of such Act is amended— (1) by redesignating paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) as paragraphs (2), (3), and (4), respectively; (2) by inserting before paragraph (2), as so redesignated, the following new paragraph (1): (1) An accurate baseline accounting of defense headquarters budgets and personnel as of fiscal year 2014, including what is and is not included as part of management headquarters accounting, and a detailed description of the number of personnel, budgets, functions, capabilities, and skill sets. ; (3) in paragraph (2), as so redesignated— (A) by inserting actual and before planned changes ; (B) by striking staffing and inserting personnel ; and (C) by inserting before the period at the end the following: , set forth separately by fiscal year, from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2019 ; (4) in paragraph (3), as so redesignated— (A) by striking description of the planned changes and inserting detailed description of the actual and planned changes ; and (B) by inserting before the period at the end the following: , set forth separately by fiscal year, from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2019 ; and (5) in paragraph (4), as so redesignated, by striking fiscal year 2015, and estimated savings to be achieved for each of fiscal years 2015 through 2024 and inserting fiscal year 2014, and estimated savings to be achieved, along with associated changes or reductions in budget, for each of fiscal years 2014 through 2024 . (g) Additional report requirements Section 904(d) of such Act is amended— (1) in paragraph (1), by striking 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and inserting March 31, 2016 ; and (2) in paragraph (2)— (A) in subparagraph (C), by striking including and all that follows through the end of the subparagraph and inserting the following: and specific detailed information on how the changes, consolidations, or reductions were prioritized and resulted in functions no longer being performed, in the fiscal year covered by such report. ; (B) in subparagraph (F), by striking , including and all that follows through management review ; and (C) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph: (H) A separate description of— (i) the management functions, programs, or offices that were eliminated and how each represents a redundant management or oversight function; and (ii) the management, functions, programs, or offices that were moved, and how moving each will result in efficiency. . 906. Sense of Congress on performance management and workforce incentive system (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Section 1113 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 ( Public Law 111–84 ) required the Department of Defense to institute a fair, credible, and transparent performance appraisal system, given the name New Beginnings, for employees, which— (A) links employee bonuses and other performance-based action to employee performance appraisals; (B) ensures ongoing performance feedback and dialogue among supervisors, managers, and employees throughout the appraisal period, with timetables for review; and (C) develops performance assistance plans to give employees formal training, on-the-job training, counseling, mentoring, and other assistance. (2) The military components and defense agencies of the Department of Defense are currently reviewing the proposed New Beginnings performance management and workforce incentive system developed in response to section 1113 of Public Law 111–84 . (3) The Department of Defense anticipates it will begin implementation of the New Beginnings performance management and workforce incentive system in April 2016. (4) The authority provided in section 1113 of Public Law 111–84 provided the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, flexibilities in promulgating regulations to redesign the procedures which are applied by the Department of Defense in making appointments to positions within the competitive service in order to— (A) better meet mission needs; (B) respond to managers’ needs and the needs of applicants; (C) produce high-quality applicants; (D) support timely decisions; (E) uphold appointments based on merit system principles; and (F) promote competitive job offers. (5) In implementing the New Beginnings performance management and workforce incentive system, section 113 of Public Law 111–84 requires the Secretary of Defense to comply with veterans’ preference requirements. (6) Among the criteria for the new performance management and workforce incentive system authorized under section 1113 of Public Law 111–84 , the Secretary of Defense is required to— (A) adhere to merit principles; (B) include a means for ensuring employee involvement (for bargaining unit employees, through their exclusive representatives) in the design and implementation of the performance management and workforce incentive system; (C) provide for adequate training and retraining for supervisors, managers, and employees in the implementation and operation of the performance management and workforce incentive system; (D) develop a comprehensive management succession program to provide training to employees to develop managers for the agency and a program to provide training to supervisors on actions, options, and strategies a supervisor may use in administering the performance management and workforce incentive system; (E) include effective transparency and accountability measures and safeguards to ensure that the management of the performance management and workforce incentive system is fair, credible, and equitable, including appropriate independent reasonableness reviews, internal assessments, and employee surveys; (F) use the annual strategic workforce plan required by section 115b of title 10; and (G) ensure that adequate agency resources are allocated for the design, implementation, and administration of the performance management and workforce incentive system. (7) Section 1113 of Public Law 111–84 also requires the Secretary of Defense to develop a program of training—to be completed by a supervisor every three years—on the actions, options, and strategies a supervisor may use in— (A) developing and discussing relevant goals and objectives with the employee, communicating and discussing progress relative to performance goals and objectives, and conducting performance appraisals; (B) mentoring and motivating employees, and improving employee performance and productivity; (C) fostering a work environment characterized by fairness, respect, equal opportunity, and attention to the quality of the work of employees; (D) effectively managing employees with unacceptable performance; (E) addressing reports of a hostile work environment, reprisal, or harassment of or by another supervisor or employee; and (F) allowing experienced supervisors to mentor new supervisors by sharing knowledge and advice in areas such as communication, critical thinking, responsibility, flexibility, motivating employees, teamwork, leadership, and professional development, and pointing out strengths and areas of development. (b) Sense of congress It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should proceed with the collaborative work with employee representatives on the New Beginnings performance management and workforce incentive system and begin implementation of the new system at the earliest possible date. 907. Guidelines for conversion of functions performed by civilian or contractor personnel to performance by military personnel Section 129a of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: (g) Guidelines for performance of certain functions by military personnel (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), no functions performed by civilian personnel or contractors may be converted to performance by military personnel unless— (A) there is a direct link between the functions to be performed and a military occupational specialty; and (B) the conversion to performance by military personnel is cost effective, based on Department of Defense instruction 7041.04 (or any successor administrative regulation, directive, or policy).

Statement of policy on Plan Central America (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The stability and security of Central American nations have a direct impact on the stability and security of the United States. (2) Over the past decade, stability and increased security in the Republic of Colombia has pushed illicit trafficking to Central America bringing increased violence and instability. (3) Much of Central America has seen spikes in violence and homicides. In fiscal year 2013, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime released its Global Study on Homicide 2013. Four of the top five countries with the highest homicide rates in the world were Central American nations including Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, and Guatemala. (4) In calendar year 2014, approximately 65,000 unaccompanied alien children from Central America entered the United States through its southwest border. This number of such children who enter the United States during calendar year 2015 is expected to be approximately the same. (5) The southwest border of the United States continues to be porous to illicit trafficking of narcotics, weapons, cash, and people. (6) In November 2014, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador announced a Plan for the Alliance for Prosperity of the Northern Triangle. This plan is a comprehensive approach to address the ongoing violence and instability facing these three nations by stimulating economic opportunities, improving public safety and rule of law, and strengthening institutions to increase trust in the state. (7) The United States Government has stated its support for the Alliance for Prosperity and included in the President’s fiscal year 2016 budget request $1,000,000,000 in Department of State funds, to support the strategy for United States engagement in Central America.

Prohibition on the closure of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The United States military presence in the Republic of Cuba began in 1898, and United States military basing began in Cuba in 1903. (2) In 1934, the United States and Cuba entered into the Treaty Between the United States of America and Cuba signed at Washington, D.C. on May 29, 1934. Under Article III, the treaty stipulates the perpetual lease agreement between the United States and Cuba for the 45 square miles of land encompassing Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. (3) On March 12, 2015, Commander of United States Southern Command, General John Kelly, testified before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, highlighting, Its [Naval Station Guantanamo Bay] airfield and port facilities 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 . (4) Former Commander of United States Southern Command, retired Admiral James Stavridis, recently stated Guantanamo Bay Naval Station has immense strategic value above and beyond its reputation as a detention facility. It is the logistic, planning, surveillance and basing linchpin for the U.S. Fourth Fleet, crucial to the military for disaster relief, humanitarian work, medical diplomacy, and counternarcotics, all key missions for the U.S. Navy in Latin America and the Caribbean. The U.S. should do all in its power to maintain its legal control over the base . (5) In testimony in front of the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives in 2012, then-Commander of United States Southern Command, General Douglas Fraser, stated, Absent a detention facility and even following the eventual demise of the Castro regime, the strategic capability provided by the U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay remains essential for executing national priorities throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and South America . (6) As part of normalizing relations with the government of Cuba, announced in December 2014, ongoing negotiations are occurring to determine the diplomatic framework between the governments of the United States and Cuba. (7) In January 2015, soon after negotiations began between the United States and Cuba, Cuban President Raul Castro demanded the return of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Cuba. (8) In February 2015, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson, in testimony in front of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, stated that the return of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is not on the table in these conversations , referencing current diplomatic negotiations. Later in her testimony Assistant Secretary Jacobson pointed out, referring to the possible closure of the Naval Station, that she is not a high enough ranking person to know…whether it could be in the future . (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the strategic, logistic, and postural significance of United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is vital to the security of the United States; and (2) the United States must not relinquish control of Guantanamo Bay to the Republic of Cuba. (c) Prohibition United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may not be closed or abandoned, and the President shall ensure that the obligations of the United States under Article III of the Treaty Between the United States of America and Cuba signed at Washington, D.C. on May 29, 1934 are met, including the payment of the annual lease sum to the government of Cuba, unless otherwise specifically provided— (1) by law; (2) in a treaty that is ratified with the advice and consent of the Senate; or (3) by a modification of the Treaty Between the United States of America and Cuba signed at Washington, D.C. on May 29, 1934, that is ratified with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Sense of Congress on United States policy and strategy in Afghanistan It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States continues to have vital national security interests in ensuring that Afghanistan is a stable, sovereign country; (2) President Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan should be applauded for his leadership and commitment to ensuring that Afghanistan remains stable, secure, and a friend of the United States; (3) the decision by the President of the United States to maintain 9,800 United States troops in Afghanistan through all of 2015 to train, advise, and assist and conduct counterterrorism missions in Afghanistan is the appropriate approach, is consistent with United States national security interests, and should be supported by Congress; (4) the President should withdraw United States troops only on a pace that is consistent with the ability of the Afghan National Security Forces to sustain itself and secure Afghanistan and should review maintaining the United States advisory mission in Afghanistan beyond 2016; (5) the United States should provide monetary and advisory support for the 352,000 Afghan National Security Forces personnel and 30,000 Afghan Local Police, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support, through 2018 while also maintaining a focus on the protection of human rights; (6) the Afghan National Security Forces should have the independent capability to prevent groups such as al-Qaeda, the Haqqani Network, the Quetta Shura Taliban, and other terrorist and insurgent groups from being able to conduct de-stabilizing attacks and military operations inside Afghanistan or against the United States and its allies and holding or governing territory; and (7) the United States should continue to vigorously conduct counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan beyond 2016, including against the Haqqani Network, to preserve the vital national security interests of the United States. 1214.

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. C Matters relating to Syria and Iraq 1221.

The report shall include the following: (1) A description of how the programs of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq, in conjunction with other United States programs, such as Foreign Military Financing program and the Foreign Military Sales program, will address the capability gaps of the Iraqi Security Forces and coordinate activities to provide for the training and equipping of the Iraqi Security Forces.

(4) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, stated the following: (A) When the final counting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years such data has been compiled . . . about half of all attacks, as well as fatalities, in 2014 occurred in just three countries: Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan . . . the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) conducted more attacks than any other terrorist group in the first nine months of 2014. . (B) Since the conflict began, more than 20,000 Sunni foreign fighters have traveled to Syria from more than 90 countries to fight the Assad regime . . . of that number, at least 13,600 have extremist ties. .

Of the 13 attacks in the West since last May, 12 were conducted by individual extremists. . (5) AQAP continues to be one of al-Qaeda’s most capable affiliates, has the intent and capability to attack the United States and its allies, and attempted attacks inside the United States on December 25, 2009, and October 27, 2010. (6) Iran has been a Department of State-designated state sponsor of terrorism since January 19, 1984, and continues to sponsor and support terrorism throughout the Middle East region and around the world. (7) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, General Jack Keane (retired), stated, Is it possible to . . . claim that the United States policy and strategy is working or that al-Qaeda is on the run? It is unmistakable that our policies have failed . . . And the unequivocal explanation is U.S. policy has focused on disengaging from the Middle East. . (8) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, former commander of United States Central Command, General James Mattis (retired), stated, We have lived too long in a strategy-free mode . . . America needs a refreshed national strategy . . . And our Nation’s strategy demands a comprehensive approach. . (b) Sense of congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) Islamic extremism is growing in the Middle East and elsewhere; (2) Iran continues to be a leading state sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East and across the globe and continues to actively work against United States interests; (3) the threat of terrorist attacks in the United States and threats against United States interests have increased due to the growth of Islamic extremism, the proliferation of terrorist groups across the world, and the instability in the Middle East in countries such as Libya, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria; (4) the approach of Building Partnership Capacity (BPC) and conducting limited counterterrorism operations has had some positive effects in some locations, but has not prevented the proliferation and violence of terrorist groups or instability in the Middle East; (5) the United States should articulate, develop, and implement an effective strategy to work with its allies and partners to defeat Islamic extremist groups that threaten the interests of the Unites States and its allies; (6) the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with Secretary of State, shall continue to pursue efforts to shut down ISIL’s illicit oil revenues; (7) support for United States allies and partners in the Middle East is a critical component of the effort to prevent the spread of Islamic extremism; (8) other actors, such as Russia, China, and Iran are trying to work against United States interests in the Middle East; (9) the United States should take a greater leadership role in fighting Islamic extremism and supporting stability in the Middle East to include coordinating actions of United States allies and partners in the region; (10) the United States plays a vital leadership role in coordinating the activities of the United States and its allies and partners and should seek opportunities to expand such cooperation to contribute to greater stability in the Middle East; (11) the United States should continue to take steps to prevent the spread of malign Iranian influence in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and the region; (12) the United States remains an indispensable actor in the Middle East, and the President should ensure that United States Armed Forces remain forward postured in the region to deter adversaries, fight threats to the United States and its interests, and support United States allies and partners in the region.

Sense of Congress on the Government of Iran’s nuclear program and its malign military activities (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The understanding announced on April 2, 2015, between the countries of the P5+1 (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China) and Iran on a Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action (CJPOA) provides sanctions relief in exchange for constraints on Iran’s nuclear program for a limited period of time. (2) Iran continues to develop ballistic missiles in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1747 (2007) and 1929 (2010), has developed medium-range ballistic missiles to target Israel and other United States allies, is working towards an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capability and the CJPOA places no limitations on Iran’s ballistic and cruise missile development efforts. (3) The Secretary of State has designated Iran as a state-sponsor of terrorism since 1984 and for the past decade has characterized Iran as the most active state sponsor of terrorism in the world. (4) Iran continues to support Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, Shia militias in Iraq, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and other terrorist organizations and extremists globally. (5) Iran continues to conduct malign military activities across the Middle East and around the globe, which has and will continue to destabilize the region. As the Commander of United States Central Command testified to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives on March 3, 2015, the leaders in the region… are also equally concerned about Iran’s ability to mine the Straits, Iran’s cyber capabilities, Iran’s… ballistic missile capability, as well as the activity of their Quds forces... And so whether we get a deal or don’t get a deal, I think they will still share those concerns. . (6) Iran’s destabilizing activities throughout the region pose a threat to United States interests, the interests of United States allies in the region, and international security. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) Iran’s illicit pursuit, development, or acquisition of a nuclear weapons capability and its malign military activities overall constitute a grave threat to regional stability and the national security interests of the United States and its allies and partners; (2) Iran continues to expand its malign activities in the Middle East and globally, which may well increase under a CJPOA; (3) sanctions relief under the CJPOA will provide Iran the ability to increase funding for its ballistic missile development programs, acquisition of destabilizing types and amounts of conventional weapons, support for terrorism, and other malign activities throughout the Middle East and globally; (4) United States bilateral and multilateral sanctions against Iran, once relieved, will be extremely difficult to reconstitute in response to Iranian violations of its international obligations; (5) Iran would be an internationally-approved nuclear-threshold state under the framework of the CJPOA, which will likely lead to the proliferation of nuclear weapons across the Middle East; (6) Congress should review and assess all elements of any agreement entered into between the countries of the P5+1 and Iran and it should approve or disapprove of any sanctions relief that results from such an agreement; (7) the United States must continue to support the defense of allies and partners in the region, including Israel, strengthening ballistic missile defense capabilities, and increasing security assistance; (8) Congress supports efforts to reach a peaceful, diplomatic solution to permanently and verifiably end Iran’s pursuit, development, and acquisition of a nuclear weapons capability, and it reaffirms that it is United States policy that Iran will not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons capability and that all instruments of United States power must be considered to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon; (9) Congress reaffirms the rights of United States allies to exercise their legitimate right to self-defense against the Government of Iran; (10) the sale of advanced weaponry to Iran, particularly advanced air defenses, encourages bad behavior by Iran and poses a high risk of destabilizing the region and should be opposed; and (11) no terrorism-related sanctions should be lifted or loosened as a part of any nuclear agreement and additional sanctions should be considered against Iran due to Iran’s continued state sponsorship of terrorism, its development and proliferation of ballistic missile technology, its continued biological and chemical weapons programs, and the egregious violation of the human rights of the Iranian people. 1233. Report on military posture required in the Middle East to deter Iran from developing a nuclear weapon (a) In general Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report regarding the military posture required in the Middle East to deter Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

Non-compliance by the Russian Federation with its obligations under the INF Treaty (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The Department of State, on July 31, 2014, released the Annual Report on the Adherence to and Compliance With Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments which included the finding that, The United States has determined that the Russian Federation is in violation of its obligations under the INF Treaty not to possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km, or to possess or produce launchers of such missiles. . (2) According to the testimony of senior officials of the Department of State, the Russian Federation is not complying with numerous treaties and agreements, including the INF Treaty, the Open Skies Treaty, the Biological Weapons Convention, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Vienna Document, the Budapest Memorandum, the Istanbul Commitments, the Presidential Nuclear Initiatives, the Missile Technology Control Regime, and the Russian Federation has recently withdrawn from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE). (3) The Commander of U.S. European Command, and Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, General Philip Breedlove, USAF, stated that [a] weapon capability that violates the I.N.F., 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, [i]t can’t go unanswered. . (4) General Breedlove has further stated that we need to first and foremost signal that we cannot accept this change and that, if this change is continued, that we will have to change the cost calculus for Russia in order to help them to find their way to a less bellicose position. . (5) General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff testified that, I think we have to make it very clear that things like their compliance with the INF treaty that there will be political, diplomatic and potentially military costs in terms of the way we posture ourselves and the way we plan and work with our allies to address those provocations…It concerns me greatly. I certainly would counsel them not to roll back the clock. . (6) The Secretary of Defense, Ashton B. Carter, testified that, On the military side, we have begun to consider . . . what our options are, because the INF treaty is a treaty, meaning that it’s a two-way street. We accepted constraints in return for constraints of the then Soviet Union. It is a two-way street, and we need to remind them that it’s a two-way street, meaning that we, without an INF treaty, can take action also that we both decided years ago was best for neither of us to take. . (7) The Department of Defense has been considering a range of military options to respond to the Russian Federation’s violation of the INF Treaty and these options would aim to negate any advantage Russia might gain from deploying an INF-prohibited system, and all of these would be designed to make us more secure , and these options fall into three broad categories: active defenses to counter intermediate-range ground-launched cruise missiles; counterforce capabilities to prevent intermediate-range ground-launched cruise missile attacks; and countervailing strike capabilities to enhance U.S. or allied forces. . (8) President Barack Obama stated in Prague in 2009 that, Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words must mean something. . (b) Sense of the congress It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the Russian Federation should return to compliance with the INF Treaty; (2) the continuing violation of the INF Treaty by the Russian Federation threatens the viability of the INF Treaty; (3) the United States has reportedly been undertaking diplomatic efforts to address with the Russia Federation its violations of the INF Treaty since 2013, and the Russian Federation has failed to respond to these efforts in any meaningful way; (4) not only should the Russian Federation end its cheating with respect to the INF Treaty, but also its illegal occupation of the sovereign territory of another nation, its plans for stationing nuclear weapons on that nation’s territory, and its cheating and violation of as many as eight of its 12 arms control obligations and agreements; and (5) there are several United States military requirements that would be addressed by the development and deployment of systems currently prohibited by the INF Treaty. (c) Notification of Russian violations of INF Treaty (1) In general The President shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a notification of— (A) whether the Russian Federation has flight-tested, deployed, or possesses a military system that has achieved an initial operating capability of a covered missile system; and (B) whether the Russian Federation has begun steps to return to full compliance with the INF Treaty, including by agreeing to inspections and verification measures necessary to achieve high confidence that any covered missile system will be eliminated, as required by the INF Treaty upon its entry into force. (2) Deadline The notification required under paragraph (1) shall be submitted not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and not later than 30 days after the date on which the Russian Federation meets any of the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1).

F Matters relating to the Asia-Pacific region 1251. Sense of Congress recognizing the 70th anniversary of the end of Allied military engagement in the Pacific theater (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings (1) September 2, 2015, marks the 70th anniversary of the end of Allied military engagement in the Pacific theater, also marking the end of the Second World War. (2) The United States entered the Second World War in December 1941, following the Empire of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, and over the next four years Americans participated in what was arguably the greatest national endeavor in the Nation’s history. (3) The casualty toll of Americans in the Pacific theater during the Second World War was approximately 92,904 killed, 208,333 wounded, and tens of thousands missing in action and prisoners of war, with civilians and military forces of the Allied Powers suffering equally devastating tolls. (4) American military forces displayed extraordinary courage and suffered significant casualties in battles across the Pacific theater, including in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Philippines Campaign, the Battle of Iwo Jima, and the Battle of Okinawa. (5) Japanese military forces and the Japanese civilian population also suffered staggering losses. (6) On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan announced the unconditional surrender of Japan’s military forces, made formal on September 2, 1945, aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay, Japan, thus ending the most devastating war in human history. (7) Japan is now a free and prosperous democracy; a valued ally with shared values and mutual interests based on the principles of democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law, who serves as a cornerstone for peace and security in the region and for whom the United States seeks to further enhance security, economic, and diplomatic ties. (8) The bravery and sacrifice of the members of the United States Armed Forces and the military forces of the Allied Powers who served valiantly to rescue the Pacific nations from tyranny and aggression should be always remembered. (b) Sense of congress Congress— (1) recognizes the 70th anniversary of the end of Allied military engagement in the Pacific theater, and also marking the end of Second World War; (2) joins with a grateful nation in expressing respect and appreciation to the members of the United States Armed Forces who served in the Pacific theater during the Second World War; (3) remembers and honors those Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives for their country during the campaigns in the Pacific theater during the Second World War; and (4) preserves and applies the lessons learned from the history of the Second World War in the Pacific theater and recognizes the close alliance between the United States and Japan, codified in the 1960 Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan, that continues to be enhanced to maintain peace and prosperity in the region. 1252. Sense of Congress regarding consolidation of United States military facilities in Okinawa, Japan (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The defense alliance between the United States and Japan remains important and strong. (2) Progress continues to be made in the United States and Japan to fulfill the April 27, 2012, agreement of the United States-Japan Security Consultative Committee that modified the United States-Japan Roadmap for Realignment Implementation, originally codified on May 1, 2006, including the Governor of Okinawa signing the landfill permit for Henoko construction on December 27, 2013, and the elimination of restrictions on Government of Japan contributions for the realignment of Marine Corps forces in the Asia-Pacific region by section 2821 of the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (division B of Public Law 113–291 ). (3) The Government of Japan has made significant and unprecedented direct financial contributions of more than $3,000,000,000 to the Support for United States Relocation to Guam Account pursuant to section 2350k of title 10, United States Code, for the relocation of Marine Corps forces from Okinawa to Guam and the relocation of certain training from Okinawa to the Marianas region, of which nearly $1,000,000,000 has already been received from the Government of Japan, and a significant amount of these funds has already been obligated and expended to support the relocation of Marine Corps forces on Guam. (4) It is important to return formerly used United States military property in Okinawa to the local government. (5) Consolidation of United States facilities and the return of formerly used United States military property in Okinawa will be implemented as soon as possible, while ensuring operational capability, including training capability, throughout the consolidation process. (6) Under the April 27, 2012, agreement referred to in paragraph (2), the United States is authorized to establish Marine Air-Ground Task Forces at additional locations in the Asia-Pacific region, including Guam, Hawaii, and Australia, which will enhance their readiness posture through flexibility and speed to respond to regional threats and maintain regional peace, stability, and security. (7) Even though realignment of Marine Corps forces from Okinawa to Guam is de-linked from progress on the construction of the Futenma Replacement Facility in Henoko, there must be continued progress on Guam and Okinawa to meet the agreement. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the Henoko location for the Futenma Replacement Facility— (1) has been studied and analyzed for several decades, reaffirmed by both the United States and Japan on several occasions, including the 2010 Futenma Replacement Facility Bilateral Experts study and the independent assessment required by section 346 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 ( Public Law 112–81 ; 125 Stat. 1373); and (2) remains the only option for the Futenma Replacement Facility. 1253.

Sense of Congress on the United States alliance with Japan It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States highly values its alliance with the Government of Japan as a cornerstone of peace and security in the region, based on shared values of democracy, the rule of law, free and open markets, and respect for human rights in order to promote peace, security, stability, and economic prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region; (2) the United States welcomes Japan’s decision to contribute more proactively to regional and global peace and security; (3) the United States supports recent changes in Japanese defense policy, including the adoption of collective self-defense and the new bilateral Guidelines for U.S.-Japan Defense Cooperation which were approved on April 27, 2015, and will promote a more balanced and effective alliance to meet the emerging security challenges of this century; (4) the United States and Japan should continue to improve joint interoperability and collaborate on developing future capabilities with which to maintain regional stability in an increasingly uncertain security environment; (5) the United States and Japan should continue efforts to strengthen regional multilateral institutions that promote economic and security cooperation based on internationally accepted rules and norms; (6) the United States acknowledges that the Senkaku Islands are under the administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral actions that would seek to undermine such administration and remains committed under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to respond to any armed attack in the territories under the administration of Japan; and (7) the United States reaffirms its commitment to the Government of Japan under Article V of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security that [e]ach Party recognizes that an armed attack against either Party in the territories under the administration of Japan would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional provisions and processes . 1255. Sense of Congress on opportunities to enhance the United States alliance with the Republic of Korea It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea has served as an anchor for stability, security, and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula, in the Asia-Pacific region, and around the world; (2) the United States and the Republic of Korea continue to strengthen and adapt the comprehensive strategic alliance of bilateral, regional, and global scope to serve as a linchpin of peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, recognizing the shared values of democracy, human rights, free and open market, and the rule of law, as reaffirmed in the May 2013 Joint Declaration in Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the Alliance between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America ; (3) the United States and the Republic of Korea continue to broaden and deepen the scope and level of alliance cooperation by strengthening the combined defense posture on the Korean Peninsula, enhancing mutual security based on the Republic of Korea-United States Mutual Defense Treaty, and promoting cooperation for regional and global security in the 21st century, recognizing the significance of 2015 as it marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II; (4) the United States and the Republic of Korea share deep concerns that North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missiles programs and its repeated provocations pose grave threats to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia and recognize that both nations are determined to achieve the peaceful denuclearization of North Korea, and remain fully committed to continuing close cooperation on the full range of issues related to North Korea; (5) the United States supports the vision of a Korean Peninsula free of nuclear weapons, free from the fear of war, and peacefully reunited on the basis of democratic and free market principles, as articulated in President Park’s Dresden address; and (6) the United States and the Republic of Korea share the future interests of both nations in securing peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia. 1256. Requirement to submit Department of Defense policy regarding foreign disclosure or technology release of Aegis Ashore capability to allies (a) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that a decision by the Government of Japan to purchase Aegis Ashore for its self-defense, given that it already possesses sea-based Aegis weapons system-equipped naval vessels, could create a significant opportunity for promoting interoperability and integration of air- and missile defense capability with close allies, could provide for force multiplication benefits, and could potentially alleviate force posture requirements on multi-mission assets. (b) Requirement to submit policy Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a copy of the Department of Defense policy regarding foreign disclosure or technology release of Aegis Ashore capability to allies, including Japan, that possess sea-based Aegis weapons system-equipped naval vessels.

United States-Israel anti-tunnel defense cooperation (a) Findings and sense of congress (1) Findings Congress finds the following: (A) Tunnels have been used for centuries around the world as a means of avoiding detection or circumventing defenses. (B) Tunnels can be used for criminal purposes, such as smuggling drugs, weapons, or humans, or for terrorist or military purposes, such as launching surprise attacks or detonating explosives underneath infrastructure. (C) Tunnels have been a growing threat on the southern border of the United States for more than 11 years, and the Department of Homeland Security has been working to address this threat. (D) The conflict in Gaza in 2014 showed that terrorists are now actively using tunnels as a means of attack, and news reports indicate that tunnels are being used in Syria as well. (E) Terrorist organizations are quick to adopt successful tactics, and it is only a matter of time before other terrorist organizations begin using tunnels. (F) The facilities of the United States, and those of the allies of the United States, could be under threat very quickly if tunnel threats continue to proliferate. (G) Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are United States-designated terrorist organizations. (H) Designated Palestinian terrorist organizations have killed hundreds of Israelis and dozens of Americans in rocket attacks and suicide bombings. (I) Hamas has used underground tunnels to Israel and Egypt to smuggle weapons, money, and supplies into Gaza and to send members of Hamas out of Gaza for training and to bring trainers in to Gaza to teach Hamas how to manufacture rockets and build better tunnels. Tunnels in Gaza have also been used as underground rocket launching sites, weapons caches, bunkers, transportation networks and command and control centers. (J) In 2006, Hamas kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit through a tunnel and held him for five years. (K) The Israel Defense Forces discovered 32 tunnels during the conflict with Hamas in the summer of 2014, 14 of which crossed into Israel. (L) Hamas intentionally uses civilians as human shields by placing its underground tunnel network in densely populated areas and schools, hospitals, and mosques. (M) Hamas’s placement of explosive material in its vast network of tunnels in Gaza has caused civilian casualties through secondary and tertiary explosions. (N) While the unemployment rate in Gaza is at 38 percent, it is estimated that Hamas spends $3,000,000 per tunnel. (O) United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was shocked by the tunnels used for the infiltration of terrorists . (P) Hamas has claimed to be rebuilding tunnels in Gaza after the war with Israel in the summer of 2014. (Q) Hezbollah has used underground tunnels in southern Lebanon to move Hezbollah fighters and to launch attacks. (R) The Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims to be digging new tunnels on the Gaza border. Israel has a right to defend itself from the violence of Palestinian terrorist groups, including the violence that is facilitated through terrorist tunnel networks. (S) The United States is working cooperatively with the Government of Israel to develop technologies to detect and neutralize tunnels penetrating the territory of Israel. (2) Sense of congress It is the sense of Congress that— (A) it is in the best interests of the United States to develop technology to detect and counter tunnels, and the best way to do this is to partner with other affected countries; and (B) Israel is facing serious threats posed by tunnels and should be the first partner of the United States in addressing this significant challenge. (b) Assistance to Israel to establish an anti-tunneling defense system (1) In General The President, upon request of the Government of Israel, is authorized to carry out research, development, and test activities on a joint basis with Israel to establish an anti-tunneling defense system to detect, map, and neutralize underground tunnels into and directed at the territory of Israel. (2) Certification None of the funds authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section may be obligated or expended to carry out subsection (a) until the President certifies to Congress the following: (A) The President has finalized a memorandum of understanding or other formal agreement between the United States and Israel regarding sharing of research and development costs for the system described in paragraph (1). (B) The understanding or agreement— (i) requires sharing of costs of projects, including the cost of claims and in-kind support, between the United States and Israel on an equitable basis unless the President determines, on a case-by-case basis, the Government of Israel is unable to contribute on an equitable basis; (ii) requires the designation of payment of non-recurring engineering costs in connection with the establishment of a capacity for co-production in the United States; (iii) establishes a framework to negotiate the rights to any intellectual property developed under the cooperative research and development projects; and (iv) requires the United States Government to receive quarterly reports on expenditure of funds by the Government of Israel, including a description of what the funds have been used for, when funds were expended, and an identification of entities that expended the funds. (3) Assistance The President, upon request of the Government of Israel, is authorized to provide assistance to Israel for the procurement, maintenance, and sustainment of an anti-tunneling system described in paragraph (1). (c) Assistance to other allies to establish an anti-tunneling defense system In addition to the memorandum of understanding or other formal agreement described in subsection (b), the President is authorized to seek to enter into a similar memorandum of understanding or other formal agreement with any other ally of the United States upon request of the government of such ally. (d) Designation of lead development agency The Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, shall designate a military department or other element of the Department of Defense to carry out subsections (b) and (c) as the lead agency of the Federal Government for developing technology to detect and counter tunnels.

(B) With one of the largest international footprints in the United States government, the Department of Defense is an integral part of combating the epidemic of gender-based violence, especially in conflict regions.

Reg. 49345) established the United States Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally, which required the Department of Defense to participate in an Interagency Working Group co-chaired by the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development to implement the Strategy. (E) The Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of Conference accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (H.R. 3979, Public Law 113–291 ), encouraged the Department of Defense to support the continued implementation of the United States Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally and to participate in the Interagency Working Group.

C European Reassurance Initiative and Related Matters 1531. Statement of policy regarding European Reassurance Initiative (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) In February 2015, Lieutenant General James Clapper (retired), Director of National Intelligence, testified to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate that Russian dominance over the former Soviet space is Russia’s highest foreign policy goal . (2) Russia, under the direction of President Vladimir Putin, has demonstrated its intent to expand its sphere of influence beyond its borders and limit Western influence in the region. (3) The Russian military is aggressively postured on the Ukrainian boarder and continues its buildup of military personnel and material. These aggressive and unwarranted actions serve to intimidate, with a show of force, the Ukrainian people as well as the other nations in the region including Georgia, the Baltic States, and the Balkan States. (4) In December 2014, Congress enacted the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 ( Public Law 113–272 ), which gives the President the authority to expand assistance to Ukraine, increase economic sanctions on Russia, and provide equipment to counter offensive weapons. (5) In February 2015, the Atlantic Council, the Brookings Institute, and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs published a report entitled Preserving Ukraine’s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the United States and NATO Must Do advocating for increased United States assistance to Ukraine with nonlethal and lethal defensive equipment. (6) Despite Russia signing the February 2015 Minsk Agreement, it has continued to violate the terms of the agreement, as noted by Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, at the German Marshall Fund Brussels Forum in March 2015: We’ve seen month on month, more lethal weaponry of a higher caliber...poured into Ukraine by the separatist Russian allies...the number one thing is for Russia to stop sending arms over the border so we can have real politics. . (7) The military of the Russian Federation continues to increase their show of force globally, including frequent international military flights, frequent snap exercises of thousands of Russian troops, increased global naval presence, and the threat of the use of nuclear weapons in defense of the annexation of Crimea in March 2014. (8) The Government of the Russian Federation continues to exert and increase undue influence on the free will of sovereign nations and people with intimidation tactics, covert operations, cyber warfare, and other unconventional methods. (9) In testimony to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives in February 2015, Commander of European Command, General Philip Breedlove, United States Air Force, stated that Russia has employed hybrid warfare ...to illegally seize Crimea, foment separatist fever in several sovereign nations, and maintain frozen conflicts within its so-called sphere of influence or near abroad . (10) The use of unconventional methods of warfare by Russia presents challenges to the United States and its partners and allies in addressing the threat. (11) An enhanced United States military presence and readiness posture and the provision of security assistance in Europe are key elements to deterring further Russian aggression and reassuring United States allies and partners. (12) In the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 ( Public Law 113–291 ), Congress authorized and appropriated $1 billion for the European Reassurance Initiative, which supports Operation Atlantic Resolve of the United States Armed Forces. (13) The European Reassurance Initiative expands United States military presence in Europe, through— (A) bolstered and continual United States military presence; (B) bilateral and multilateral exercises with partners and allies; (C) improved infrastructure; (D) increased prepositioning of United States equipment throughout Europe; and (E) building partnership capacity for allies and partners.
