Congressional defense committees In this Act, the term congressional defense committees has the meaning given that term in section 101(a)(16) of title 10, United States Code. A DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS I PROCUREMENT A Authorization Of Appropriations 101. Authorization of appropriations Funds are hereby authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2019 for procurement for the Army, the Navy and the Marine Corps, the Air Force, and Defense-wide activities, as specified in the funding table in section 7101. B Army Programs 111. National Guard and reserve component equipment report (a) In general Section 10541(b) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: (10) A joint assessment by the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau on the efforts of the Army to achieve parity among the active component, the Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard with respect to equipment and capabilities. Each assessment shall include a comparison of the inventory of high priority items of equipment available to each component of the Army described in preceding sentence, including— (A) AH–64 Attack Helicopters; (B) UH–60 Black Hawk Utility Helicopters; (C) Abrams Main Battle Tanks; (D) Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles; (E) Stryker Combat Vehicles; and (F) any other items of equipment identified as high priority by the Chief of Staff of the Army or the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. . (b) Effective date The amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply with respect to reports required to be submitted under section 10541 of title 10, United States Code, after the date of the enactment of this Act. 112. Limitation on availability of funds for M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle program (a) Limitation Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019 for the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle program of the Marine Corps, not more than 80 percent may be obligated or expended until the date on which the Commandant of the Marine Corps submits to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives the assessment described in subsection (b). (b) Assessment The assessment described in this subsection is a written summary of the views of the Marine Corps with respect to the Small Arms Ammunition Configuration Study of the Army, including— (1) an explanation of how the study informs the future small arms modernization requirements of the Marine Corps; and (2) near-term and long-term modernization strategies for the small arms weapon systems of the Marine Corps, including associated funding and schedule profiles. C Navy Programs 121. Increase in number of operational aircraft carriers of the Navy (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The aircraft carrier can fulfill the Navy’s core missions of forward presence, sea control, ensuring safe sea lanes, and power projection as well as providing flexibility and versatility to execute a wide range of additional missions. (2) Forward airpower is integral to the security and joint forces operations of the United States. Carriers play a central role in delivering forward airpower from sovereign territory of the United States in both permissive and nonpermissive environments. (3) Aircraft carriers provide our Nation the ability to rapidly and decisively respond to national threats, as well as conducting worldwide, on-station diplomacy and providing deterrence against threats to the United States allies, partners, and friends. (4) Since the end of the cold war, aircraft carrier deployments have increased while the aircraft carrier force structure has declined. (5) Considering the increased array of complex threats across the globe, the Navy aircraft carrier is operating at maximum capacity, increasing deployment lengths and decreasing maintenance periods in order to meet operational requirements. (6) To meet global peacetime and wartime requirements, the Navy has indicated a requirement to maintain two aircraft carriers deployed overseas and have three additional aircraft carriers capable of deploying within 90 days. However, the Navy has indicated that the existing aircraft carrier force structure cannot support these military requirements. (7) Despite the requirement to maintain an aircraft carrier strike group in both the United States Central Command and the United States Pacific Command, the Navy has been unable to generate sufficient capacity to support combatant commanders and has developed significant carrier gaps in these critical areas. (8) Because of the continuing use of a diminished aircraft carrier force structure, extensive maintenance availabilities result which typically exceed program costs and increase time in shipyards. These expansive maintenance availabilities exacerbate existing carrier gaps. (9) Developing an alternative design to the Ford-class aircraft carrier is not cost beneficial. A smaller design is projected to incur significant design and engineering cost while significantly reducing magazine size, carrier air wing size, sortie rate, and on-station effectiveness, among other vital factors, as compared to the Ford-class. Furthermore, a new design will delay the introduction of future aircraft carriers, exacerbating existing carrier gaps and threatening the national security of the United States. (10) The 2016 Navy Force Structure Assessment states A minimum of 12 aircraft carriers are required to meet the increased warfighting response requirements of the Defense Planning Guidance Defeat/Deny force sizing direction. . (b) Sense of congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States should expedite delivery of 12 aircraft carriers; and (2) an aircraft carrier should be authorized every three years. (c) Increase in number of operational aircraft carriers of the navy (1) Increase Section 5062(b) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by striking 11 operational aircraft carriers and inserting 12 operational aircraft carriers . (2) Effective date The amendment made by paragraph (1) shall take effect on September 30, 2022. 122.

Findings and sense of Congress regarding KC–46 aerial refueling tankers (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Aerial refueling tankers provide an essential foundation for our nation’s ability to project power and deter adversaries, enabling the global reach of our joint force. (2) 87 percent of the legacy aerial refueling fleet is comprised of KC–135 aircraft with an average age of 56 years. (3) The Commander of United States Transportation Command has identified the aerial refueling fleet as the most stressed of our air mobility forces and stated that delaying KC–46 production puts the Joint Force’s ability to effectively execute war plans at risk . (4) As directed by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 ( Public Law 115–91 ), the Air Force is undertaking an updated mobility capability and requirements study that will reflect guidance articulated in the 2018 National Defense Strategy and reassess the current tanker requirement of 479 aircraft. (5) The fixed-price contract for KC–46A calls for 179 aircraft to be delivered by 2028. (6) The KC–46 is a multirole platform that will bring enhanced capabilities to both the aerial refueling and strategic airlift missions. The aircraft provides the ability to refuel joint and coalition aircraft by both boom and drogue systems in the same sortie; improved cargo, passenger and aeromedical evacuation capabilities; and enhanced survivability with multiple layers of protection enabling it to operate safely in a broader range of threat environments than legacy tankers. (7) The Government Accountability Office has stated: The KC–46 program’s total acquisition cost estimate remained stable over the past year at $44,400,000,000, which is about $7,300,000,000 less than the original estimate. (8) The Commander of Air Mobility Command has stated that the KC–46 will bring tremendous capability to our joint warfighter . (9) The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition has stated: Stability of requirements and funding are the keys to KC–46 program success and will enable the Air Force to deliver this new tanker ready for employment on day one. (10) The Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition has identified the KC–46 as the Air Force’s second highest combat aviation acquisition priority for the role that it plays in being able to power project . (11) With the support of Congress, the Air Force has executed three low rate initial production contracts for a total of 34 aircraft. In fiscal year 2018, Congress provided funding for a fourth production lot totaling 18 aircraft. (12) A steady production rate of 1.3 aircraft per month has been maintained through independent investment by industry in order to expedite deliveries to the Air Force upon completion of developmental testing and certification. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Air Force and industry should dedicate the resources and manpower necessary to ensure the first KC–46 is delivered in fiscal year 2018; (2) the Air Force should maximize efficiency in the test and certification process to ensure that— (A) test points are not redundant; (B) test plans are approved expeditiously; (C) receiver aircraft are available to support test flights; and (D) Air Force inputs necessary for Federal Aviation Administration and military airworthiness certifications are expedited; and (3) the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition and the Director of the Defense Contract Management Agency should develop and implement a plan enabling the Air Force to accept and field KC–46 aircraft at a rate higher than three aircraft per month after the delivery of the first aircraft. 148. Sense of Congress on conversion of F–22 aircraft (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Accelerating the modernization upgrade of F–22A Block 20 training and test aircraft would significantly increase the total available inventory of combat-capable F–22A Block 35 fighter aircraft. (2) Converting 34 F–22A Block 20 aircraft to a Block 35 configuration would drastically improve the readiness and health of the entire F–22A fleet and increase flexibility to manage availability of the combat-coded Block 35 fleet, which is accumulating more operational flight hours than initially anticipated. (3) Making the conversions described in paragraph (2) would be a cost-effective way to increase the F–22's combat-capable force by 27 percent. (4) If the conversion effort is not included in future base budgets, it would be advisable for the Department of Defense to support the effort as an unfunded priority.

Surface warfare training improvement (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) In 2017, there were three collisions and one grounding involving United States Navy ships in the Western Pacific. The two most recent mishaps involved separate incidents of a Japan-based United States Navy destroyer colliding with a commercial merchant vessel, resulting in the combined loss of 17 sailors. (2) The causal factors in these four mishaps are linked directly to a failure to take sufficient action in accordance with the rules of good seamanship. (3) Because risks are high in the maritime environment, there are widely accepted standards for safe seamanship and navigation. In the United States, the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (hereinafter in this section referred to as the STCW ) for Seafarers, standardizes the skills and foundational knowledge a maritime professional must have in seamanship and navigation. (4) Section 568 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 ( Public Law 114–328 ; 130 Stat. 2139) endorsed the STCW process and required the Secretary of Defense to maximize the extent to which Armed Forces service, training, and qualifications are creditable toward meeting merchant mariner licenses and certifications.

Defending United States Government communications (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) In its 2011 Annual Report to Congress on Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China , the Department of Defense stated that, China’s defense industry has benefitted from integration with a rapidly expanding civilian economy and science and technology sector, particularly elements that have access to foreign technology. Progress within individual defense sectors appears linked to the relative integration of each, through China’s civilian economy, into the global production and R&D chain . . . Information technology companies in particular, including Huawei, Datang, and Zhongxing, maintain close ties to the PLA. . (2) In a 2011 report titled The National Security Implications of Investments and Products from the People's Republic of China in the Telecommunications Sector , the United States China Commission stated that [n]ational security concerns have accompanied the dramatic growth of China's telecom sector. . . . Additionally, large Chinese companies—particularly those national champions prominent in China’s going out strategy of overseas expansion—are directly subject to direction by the Chinese Communist Party, to include support for PRC state policies and goals. . (3) The Commission further stated in its report that [f]rom this point of view, the clear economic benefits of foreign investment in the U.S. must be weighed against the potential security concerns related to infrastructure components coming under the control of foreign entities. This seems particularly applicable in the telecommunications industry, as Chinese companies continue systematically to acquire significant holdings in prominent global and U.S. telecommunications and information technology companies. . (4) In its 2011 Annual Report to Congress, the United States China Commission stated that [t]he extent of the state’s control of the Chinese economy is difficult to quantify . . . There is also a category of companies that, though claiming to be private, are subject to state influence. Such companies are often in new markets with no established SOE leaders and enjoy favorable government policies that support their development while posing obstacles to foreign competition. Examples include Chinese telecoms giant Huawei and such automotive companies as battery maker BYD and vehicle manufacturers Geely and Chery. . (5) General Michael Hayden, who served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Director of the National Security Agency, stated in July 2013 that Huawei had shared with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with. . (6) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a February 2015 Counterintelligence Strategy Partnership Intelligence Note stated that, [w]ith the expanded use of Huawei Technologies Inc. equipment and services in U.S. telecommunications service provider networks, the Chinese Government’s potential access to U.S. business communications is dramatically increasing. Chinese Government-supported telecommunications equipment on U.S. networks may be exploited through Chinese cyber activity, with China’s intelligence services operating as an advanced persistent threat to U.S. networks. . (7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation further stated in its February 2015 counterintelligence note that, China makes no secret that its cyber warfare strategy is predicated on controlling global communications network infrastructure. . (8) At a hearing before the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives on September 30, 2015, Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work, responding to a question about the use of Huawei telecommunications equipment, stated, In the Office of the Secretary of Defense, absolutely not. And I know of no other—I don’t believe we operate in the Pentagon, any [Huawei] systems in the Pentagon. . (9) At such hearing, the Commander of the United States Cyber Command, Admiral Mike Rogers, responding to a question about why such Huawei telecommunications equipment is not used, stated, as we look at supply chain and we look at potential vulnerabilities within the system, that it is a risk we felt was unacceptable. . (10) In March 2017, ZTE Corporation pled guilty to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by illegally shipping United States-origin items to Iran, paying the United States Government a penalty of $892,360,064 dollars for activity between January 2010 and January 2016. (11) The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued a subpoena to Huawei as part of a Federal investigation of alleged violations of trade restrictions on Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria. (12) In the bipartisan Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives Investigative Report on the United States National Security Issues Posed by Chinese Telecommunication Companies Huawei and ZTE released in 2012, it was recommended that U.S. government systems, particularly sensitive systems, should not include Huawei or ZTE equipment, including in component parts. Similarly, government contractors—particularly those working on contracts for sensitive U.S. programs—should exclude ZTE or Huawei equipment in their systems. . (13) Christopher Wray, who serves as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, stated in February 2018 during a hearing of the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate that he was deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any company or entity that is beholden to foreign governments that don’t share our values to gain positions of power inside our telecommunications networks. That provides the capacity to exert pressure or control over our telecommunications infrastructure. It provides the capacity to maliciously modify or steal information. And it provides the capacity to conduct undetected espionage. Admiral Mike Rogers, who served as Director of the National Security Agency, agreed with Director Wray’s characterization, and added that Government programs need to look long and hard at companies like this .

(2) Purpose The purpose of this section is to facilitate the construction and expansion of public target ranges, including ranges on Federal land managed by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. (b) Amendments to Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act (1) Definitions Section 2 of the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act ( 16 U.S.C. 669a ) is amended— (A) by redesignating paragraphs (2) through (8) as paragraphs (3) through (9), respectively; and (B) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following: (2) the term public target range means a specific location that— (A) is identified by a governmental agency for recreational shooting; (B) is open to the public; (C) may be supervised; and (D) may accommodate archery or rifle, pistol, or shotgun shooting; .

Sense of Congress on the legacy, contributions, and sacrifices of American Indian and Alaska Natives in the Armed Forces (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The United States celebrates Native American History Month each November to recognize and honor the history and achievements of Native Americans. (2) American Indian and Alaska Natives serve in all branches of the Armed Forces, attend all service academies, and defend our country with valiance, pride, and honor. (3) More than 30,000 active duty, reserve, and National Guard members of the Armed Forces identify as Native American. (4) American Indian and Alaska Natives have served and continue to serve in the highest proportions to population than any other ethnic group. (5) American Indian and Alaska Natives have served in every war, from the Revolutionary War to current overseas conflicts. (6) Native American veterans are Congressional Medal of Honor, Congressional Gold and Silver Medals, Purple Heart, and Bronze Star Medal recipients. (7) American Indian and Alaska Native women serve in Armed Forces in higher proportions than any other ethnic group. (8) Native American Code Talkers and their languages proved an invaluable asset during World Wars I and II. (9) Ira Hayes, Akimel O’odham (Pima) helped to raise the American flag on Iwo Jima; (10) Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow, Apsáalooke (Crow), served in WWII and became a war chief. (11) Numerous present and past military aircraft, helicopters, and munitions programs bear the names of Native American tribes and tribal leaders to honor their legacy of martial prowess, including the Apache, Kiowa, Black Hawk, Lakota, Chinook, Huron, Iroquois, Comanche, Cayuse, Chickasaw, Ute, Gray Eagle, Mescalero, Tomahawk, and more.

Amateur radio parity (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) More than 730,000 radio amateurs in the United States are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission in the amateur radio services. (2) Amateur radio, at no cost to taxpayers, provides a fertile ground for technical self-training in modern telecommunications, electronics technology, and emergency communications techniques and protocols. (3) There is a strong Federal interest in the effective performance of amateur stations established at the residences of licensees. Such stations have been shown to be frequently and increasingly precluded by unreasonable private land use restrictions, including restrictive covenants. (4) Federal Communications Commission regulations have for three decades prohibited the application to stations in the amateur service of State and local regulations that preclude or fail to reasonably accommodate amateur service communications, or that do not constitute the minimum practicable regulation to accomplish a legitimate State or local purpose. Commission policy has been and is to require States and localities to permit erection of a station antenna structure at heights and dimensions sufficient to accommodate amateur service communications. (5) The Commission has sought guidance and direction from Congress with respect to the application of the Commission’s limited preemption policy regarding amateur service communications to private land use restrictions, including restrictive covenants. (6) There are aesthetic and common property considerations that are uniquely applicable to private land use regulations and the community associations obligated to enforce covenants, conditions, and restrictions in deed-restricted communities. These considerations are dissimilar to those applicable to State law and local ordinances regulating the same residential amateur radio facilities. (7) In recognition of these considerations, a separate Federal policy than exists at section 97.15(b) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, is warranted concerning amateur service communications in deed-restricted communities. (8) Community associations should fairly administer private land use regulations in the interest of their communities, while nevertheless permitting the installation and maintenance of effective outdoor amateur radio antennas. There exist antenna designs and installations that can be consistent with the aesthetics and physical characteristics of land and structures in community associations while accommodating communications in the amateur radio services. (b) Application of private land use restrictions to amateur stations (1) Amendment of FCC rules Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Communications Commission shall amend section 97.15 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, by adding a new paragraph that prohibits the application to amateur stations of any private land use restriction, including a restrictive covenant, that— (A) on its face or as applied, precludes communications in an amateur radio service; (B) fails to permit a licensee in an amateur radio service to install and maintain an effective outdoor antenna on property under the exclusive use or control of the licensee; or (C) does not constitute the minimum practicable restriction on such communications to accomplish the lawful purposes of a community association seeking to enforce such restriction. (2) Additional requirements In amending its rules as required by subsection (a), the Commission shall— (A) require any licensee in an amateur radio service to notify and obtain prior approval from a community association concerning installation of an outdoor antenna; (B) permit a community association to prohibit installation of any antenna or antenna support structure by a licensee in an amateur radio service on common property not under the exclusive use or control of the licensee; and (C) subject to the standards specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a), permit a community association to establish reasonable written rules concerning height, location, size, and aesthetic impact of, and installation requirements for, outdoor antennas and support structures for the purpose of conducting communications in the amateur radio services. (c) Affirmation of limited preemption of State and local land use regulation The Federal Communications Commission may not change section 97.15(b) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, which shall remain applicable to State and local land use regulation of amateur service communications. (d) Definitions In this section: (1) The term community association means any non-profit mandatory membership organization composed of owners of real estate described in a declaration of covenants or created pursuant to a covenant or other applicable law with respect to which a person, by virtue of the person’s ownership of or interest in a unit or parcel, is obligated to pay for a share of real estate taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance, improvement, services, or other expenses related to common elements, other units, or any other real estate other than the unit or parcel described in the declaration. (2) The terms amateur radio services , amateur service , and amateur station have the meanings given such terms in section 97.3 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations. 1084. Sense of Congress regarding the international borders of the United States It is the sense of Congress that— (1) gaining and maintaining situational awareness and operational control of the international borders of the United States is critical to national security; (2) the United States Government must devote adequate resources to securing the border, both at, and between, ports of entry, and the agency tasked with that mission, the Department of Homeland Security, should be adequately resourced to conduct such mission; and (3) the Department of Defense must ensure that when it acts in support of that mission, such as when mobilized by the President to conduct homeland defense activities, or when military facilities are adjacent to an international border of the United States, it has adequate resources, capabilities, and authorities to carry out the mission while maintaining combat readiness. 1085. Program to commemorate 75th anniversary of World War II (a) Commemorative program authorized The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a program to commemorate the 75th anniversary of World War II.

(3) To pay tribute to the contributions made on the home front by the people of the United States during World War II. (4) To recognize the contributions and sacrifices made by the allies of the United States during World War II.

(d) Commemorative fund (1) Establishment and administration Upon the Secretary establishing the commemorative program under subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury shall establish in the Treasury of the United States an account to be known as the Department of Defense World War II Commemoration Fund (in this section referred to as the Fund ). The Fund shall be administered by the Secretary of Defense. (2) Use of fund The Secretary of Defense shall use the assets of the Fund only for the purpose of conducting the commemorative program and providing grants to State and local governments and not-for-profit organizations for commemorative activities, and shall prescribe such regulations regarding the use of the Fund as the Secretary considers to be necessary.

(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) Since 2001, the United States has provided more than $30 billion in 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.

As a result, in the Nuclear Posture Review, we are looking for a way, at the lowest possible cost, to checkmate them and make it in their best interest to return to compliance. . (2) The Honorable Daniel Coats, Director of National Intelligence, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 6, 2018, that the Russian Federation is violating the INF Treaty because Moscow probably believes that the new GLCM provides sufficient advantages that make it worth the risk of violating the INF Treaty. . (3) General Hyten, Commander of the United States Strategic Command, also testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 20, 2018, about potential strategic advantages for China stemming from their lack of participation in the INF Treaty by saying that they do not have any limitations in the INF [Treaty], and they have built significant numbers of intermediate-range ballistic missiles that if they were in the INF [Treaty], they would be contrary to the treaty . (4) General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified before the House Armed Services Committee on April 12, 2018, that we’re not only looking for operational concepts and ways to deal with the Russian violation, but we’re also at least posturing ourselves to develop weapons should they be required .

(4) Russia’s stock of chemical weapons has been implicated in the assassination or injuries of the following individuals: (A) Sergei Skripal, Yulia Skripal, and Wiltshire Police Detective Sergeant Nicholas Bailey, poisoned using the nerve agent novichok in Salisbury, England, in March 2018. (B) Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned using polonium, in London, England, in November 2006, about whose death a January 2016 inquest ordered by the British Parliament concluded the FSB operation to kill Mr Litvinenko was probably approved by Mr Patrushev [then-director of the FSB] and also by President Putin . (5) Russia has also demonstrated its disregard for the obligations imposed by the Chemical Weapons Convention by— (A) continuing to provide military and diplomatic support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has used chemical weapons including chlorine gas and sarin against Syrian citizens; (B) actively working to hinder the efforts of inspectors of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in Syria; and (C) consistently using its veto power at the United Nations Security Council to prevent effective international action against Assad for such activities. (6) The Condition 10(C) Report on Compliance with the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction published by the Department of State in March 2018 asserts that Based on available information, the United States cannot certify that Russia has met its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention for declaration of its: (1) [chemical weapons production facilities]; (2) [chemical weapons] development facilities; and (3) [chemical weapons] stockpiles. In fact, due to Russia’s March 4, 2018, use of a military-grade nerve agent to attack two individuals in the United Kingdom, the United States certifies that the Russian Federation is in non-compliance with its obligations under the [Chemical Weapons Convention]. . (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the Russia’s actions constitute violations of Russia’s obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention. 1239. United States actions regarding material breach of INF Treaty by the Russian Federation (a) United States actions If the President does not certify to the appropriate congressional committees that the Russian Federation has returned to full and verifiable compliance with the INF Treaty within one year of the date of the enactment of this Act, the prohibitions set forth in Article VI of the INF Treaty shall no longer be binding on the United States as a matter of United States law. (b) Definitions In this section: (1) Appropriate congressional committees The term appropriate congressional committees means— (A) the congressional defense committees; and (B) the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. (2) INF Treaty The term INF Treaty means the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, commonly referred to as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty , signed at Washington December 8, 1987, and entered into force June 1, 1988. 1240. Limitation on availability of funds to extend the implementation of the New Start Treaty (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The New START Treaty provides that, [w]hen a Party believes that a new kind of strategic offensive arm is emerging, that Party shall have the right to raise the question of such a strategic offensive arm for consideration in the Bilateral Consultative Commission . (2) Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin stated in a March 1, 2018, public speech that— (A) I will speak about the newest systems of Russian strategic weapons that we are creating * * * we have embarked on the development of the next generation of missiles. ; (B) We started to develop new types of strategic arms that do not use ballistic trajectories at all when moving toward a target. ; (C) One of them is a small-scale heavy-duty nuclear energy unit that can be installed in a missile like our latest X-101 air-launched missile * * * In late 2017, Russia successfully launched its latest nuclear-powered missile at the central training ground. During its flight, the nuclear-powered engine reached its design capacity and provided the necessary propulsion. ; (D) [i]n December 2017, an innovative nuclear power unit for this unmanned underwater vehicle completed a test cycle that lasted many years * * * [t]he tests that were conducted enabled us to begin developing a new type of strategic weapon that would carry massive nuclear ordnance ; (E) [b]y the way, we have yet to choose names for these two new strategic weapons, the global range cruise missile and the unmanned underwater vehicle. We are waiting for suggestions from the Defence Ministry ; (F) A real technological breakthrough is the development of a strategic missile system with fundamentally new combat equipment—a gliding wing unit, which has also been successfully tested * * * [w]e called it the Avangard ; and (G) I want to specifically emphasise that the newly developed strategic arms—in fact, new types of strategic weapons—are not the result of something left over from the Soviet Union. Of course, we relied on some ideas from our ingenious predecessors. But everything I have described today is the result of the last several years, the product of dozens of research organisations, design bureaus and institute. . (3) During the House Armed Services Committee hearing on April 12, 2018, Secretary of Defense James Mattis was asked whether Russia should honor the terms of the treaty and limit its new strategic offensive arms under the New START Treaty as it requires and he stated Sir, I believe they should. . (b) Limitation None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019 for the Department of Defense may be obligated or expended to extend the implementation of the New START Treaty unless and until the President— (1) certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that— (A) the President has raised the issue of covered Russian systems in the appropriate fora with the Russian Federation under Article V of the New START Treaty or otherwise; and (B) the Russian Federation has responded in writing to the United States as to whether they will agree to declare the covered Russian systems as strategic offensive arms or otherwise pursuant to the New START Treaty; (2) submits a copy of the written response of the Russian Federation described in paragraph (1)(B) to the appropriate congressional committees; and (3) notifies the appropriate congressional committees as to whether the position of the Russian Federation threatens the viability of the New START Treaty or requires appropriate United States political, economic, or military responses.

Report on Kremlin-linked corruption (a) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the intelligence community should dedicate resources to further expose key networks which the corrupt political class in Russia uses to hide the money it steals; and (2) the President should pursue efforts to stifle Russian use of hidden financial channels, including anonymous shell companies and real estate investments, in a manner similar to the efforts undertaken to tighten banking regulations after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. (b) Report Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the Secretary of State and in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, shall submit a report to Congress on assets owned by Vladimir Putin, Russian oligarchs, and senior officials of the Russian Government, including— (1) with respect to bank accounts, real estate holdings, and other financial assets, including those outside of Russia, that are owned by or accessible to Putin— (A) the location of such accounts, holdings, or assets; and (B) the contents of such accounts or the amount held through such holdings or assets; (2) the location, size, and contents of any assets of any oligarch listed pursuant to section 241 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act ( Public Law 115–44 ; 131 Stat. 922); and (3) any front or shell companies, or other intermediaries, used by senior officials of the Russian Government to hide assets from public disclosure.

E Matters relating to the Indo-Pacific region 1251. Support for Indo-Pacific stability initiative (a) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Initiative established pursuant to subsection (b) of section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 ( Public Law 115–91 ; 131 Stat. 1676) bolsters the efforts of the United States and its allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region to deter aggression by providing resources to— (A) increase the presence and capabilities and enhance the posture of the United States Armed Forces in the region; (B) improve military and defense infrastructure, basing, logistics, and access in the Indo-Pacific region in order to enhance the responsiveness and capabilities of the United States Armed Forces; and (C) increase bilateral and multilateral training and exercises with regional allies and partners; and (2) the United States should develop a multi-year strategic plan that specifies resource priorities to meet the objectives and the activities of the Initiative described in subsection (c) of such section 1251.

United States strategy on China (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The United States has a national strategic interest in ensuring that the United States maintains political, diplomatic, economic, military, and technological advantages over competitive adversaries. (2) The 2018 National Defense Strategy states that the central challenge to the U.S. prosperity and security is the reemergence of long-term, strategic competition by what the National Security Strategy classifies as revisionist powers. It is increasingly clear that China and Russia want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model—gaining veto authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, and security decisions . (3) The 2018 National Defense Strategy further states that China is leveraging military modernization, influence operations, and predatory economics to coerce neighboring countries to reorder the Indo-Pacific region to their advantage. As China continues its economic and military ascendance, asserting power through an all-of-nation long term strategy, it will continue to pursue a military modernization program that seeks Indo-Pacific regional hegemony in the near-term and displacement of the United States to achieve global preeminence in the future . (4) Statements by officials of the United States and leading experts have emphasized that the United States requires a whole-of-government response, across the full spectrum of capabilities, to address the challenges posed by China. (b) Statement of policy Congress declares that long-term strategic competition with China is a principal priority for the United States that requires the integration of multiple elements of national power, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, law enforcement, and military elements, to protect and strengthen national security. (c) Strategy required (1) In general Not later than March 1, 2019, the President shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report containing a whole-of-government strategy with respect to the People’s Republic of China.

(ii) The use of intelligence networks to exploit open research and development. (iii) The use of economic tools, including market access and investment to gain access to sensitive United States industries. (iv) Malicious cyber activities. (v) The use of investment, infrastructure, and development projects, such as China’s Belt and Road Initiative, in Africa, Europe, Central Asia, South America, and the Indo-Pacific region, and the Polar Silk Road in the Arctic, as a means to gain access and influence. (vi) The use of military activities, capabilities, and defense installations, and hybrid warfare methods, short of traditional armed conflict, against the United States or its allies and partners. (vii) The abuse of employment and student visa programs to enter the United States in order to conduct political, academic, or social influence efforts, or for the purposes of establishing Chinese Communist Party cells or other entities under the control or coordination of the Chinese Communist Party.

Sense of Congress and reaffirming the commitment of the United States to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) On April 4, 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was founded with the ideals of democracy, individual liberty, and the desire for peaceful resolutions of disputes. (2) For over six decades, NATO has been a successful intergovernmental political and military alliance. (3) NATO’s collective defense acts as a deterrent to aggression where the alliance defends its Allied countries against external security threats. (4) NATO strengthens the security of the United States by utilizing an integrated military coalition. (5) While Russia has continued to threaten the sovereignty of countries in Europe and exhibit threatening behavior toward our own military assets, NATO sends a clear collective message that the Alliance will not tolerate Russia's provocation. (6) In respect to the changing threats against Europe and the United States since the end of the Cold War, NATO has evolved to take on new dangers including terrorism, the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and cyber attacks. (7) After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, NATO invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for the first time in NATO’s history to deploy military resources to Afghanistan in support of the United States mission to combat a dangerous terrorist threat. (8) NATO aided the United States military by leading the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan from August 2003 to 2014, working with Afghan authorities to respond to the terrorist insurgency and to provide effective security across the country. (9) NATO continues a civilian-led presence in Afghanistan to strengthen Afghan security forces and institutions to ensure the country can rebuild its security operations and end safe haven for terrorists. (10) In November 2002 at the Prague Summit, NATO leaders adopted a Prague package to adapt NATO to the challenge of combating terrorism which included a Military Concept for Defense against Terrorism, a Partnership Action Plan against Terrorism, missile defense, cyber defense, and enhanced intelligence sharing. (11) In November 2006 at the Riga Summit, NATO declared that terrorism, increasingly global in scope and lethal in results, and the spread of weapons of mass destruction are likely to be the principal threats to the Alliance over the next 10 to 15 years .

Sense of Congress on nuclear posture of the United States It is the sense of Congress that— (1) for more than 70 years, the nuclear deterrent of the United States has played a central role in the national security of the United States and international stability; (2) the nuclear forces of the United States have and will continue to play a fundamental role in deterring aggression against the interests of the United States and the allies of the United States in an increasingly dangerous world; (3) strong, credible, and flexible nuclear forces of the United States assure the allies of the United States that the extended deterrence guarantees of the United States are credible and that the resolve of the United States remains strong even in the face of nuclear provocations, including nuclear coercion and blackmail; (4) the 2017 National Security Strategy and the 2018 National Defense Strategy correctly assess that, due to increased global disorder and complexity, the decline of the international rules-based order and security environment, and the erosion of the competitive advantages of the United States, interstate strategic competition must now be the primary focus of the national security strategy of the United States; (5) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review aligns with these conclusions, and recognizes that deterrence is dynamic, not static, and that while the nuclear posture and policies of the United States are underpinned by enduring consistency, such posture and policies must also undergo measured adjustments to remain credible as threats evolve; (6) the Russian Federation has elevated the role of nuclear weapons in its strategies, is developing and deploying new nuclear capabilities (including a recently announced nuclear-powered cruise missile and high-speed, nuclear-powered underwater drone), is violating many arms control agreements (including the INF Treaty), and has made explicit nuclear threats against the United States and the allies of the United States; (7) the United States remains committed to its full range of nuclear arms control and nonproliferation obligations and seeks continued engagement for prudent and verifiable agreements, however, the policies and actions of the United States must also hold states that violate arms control treaties accountable for such violations and take such violations into account when considering further arms control agreements; (8) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) plays an essential role in the national security of the United States and NATO should continue to strengthen and align its nuclear and conventional deterrence posture, planning, and exercises to align with modern threats, including modernizing its dual-capable aircraft, command and control networks, nuclear-related facilities, and conventional capabilities; (9) to deter large-scale, catastrophic war with Russia, the People’s Republic of China, and other potential adversaries, as well as reassure allies, the United States requires reliable, diverse, and tailorable nuclear forces that are able to respond to a variety of current threats while preparing for future uncertainty; (10) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review reconfirms the value of the nuclear triad and dual-capable aircraft of the United States, directs the continuation of the comprehensive nuclear modernization program initiated by the previous administration, and proposes two supplemental capabilities (a lower-yield submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead and a sea-launched cruise missile) that will strengthen deterrence and assurance and reduce the chances that nuclear weapons are used in conflict; (11) three successive Secretaries of Defense across two administrations have stated that nuclear deterrence is the highest priority mission of the Department of Defense; and (12) in light of this prioritization, the age of the current nuclear forces and infrastructure of the United States, and the small percentage of the defense budget that will be expended on the recapitalization of the nuclear deterrent of the United States, the modernization of the nuclear forces, command and control systems, and supporting infrastructure of the United States is affordable and a national imperative. 1650. Sense of Congress on extended nuclear deterrence in the Indo-Pacific region It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the nuclear program of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea poses a critical national security threat not only to the United States, but to the security and stability of the entire Indo-Pacific region, including South Korea, Japan, and Australia; (2) the nuclear and conventional forces of the United States continue to play a fundamental role in deterring aggression against its interests and the interests of its allies in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond; (3) the United States stands unwaveringly behind its treaty obligations and assurances, including those related to defense and extended nuclear deterrence, to South Korea, Japan, and Australia; (4) the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea remains a central foreign policy objective of the United States; (5) the status of any denuclearization or end-of-conflict agreement with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea should not supersede such treaty obligations and assurances described in paragraph (3); and (6) the presence of United States Forces on the Korean Peninsula should remain strong and enduring. E Missile Defense Programs 1661. Development of persistent space-based sensor architecture (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Absent a missile defense review, the budget of the President submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, for fiscal year 2019 did not propose funding for efforts within the Missile Defense Agency to further develop the Missile Defense Tracking System (a future space sensor architecture) and instead funds were provided to the Air Force to determine the plan of the Department of Defense for future missile warning and tracking capabilities.

(2) Under the proposed conveyance, the existing 126 housing units at Shenandoah Square would be demolished to allow for the construction of high-density residential housing. (3) Shenandoah Square is one of only 3 military housing complexes in the San Francisco Bay Area and is home to many California National Guard personnel serving in the 129th Rescue Wing at Moffett Federal Air Field and civilians who perform mission critical work for the 129th Rescue Wing.

(5) The residents of these units have expressed concern about their displacement from Shenandoah Square, as this property is located in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, Silicon Valley, and there is great uncertainty about the affordability of new potential housing on the site. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Army should explore all possible alternatives to a conveyance of Shenandoah Square, including subleasing the property to an entity that can better develop affordable housing on the property. 2827.

E National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production 5001. Findings Congress finds that— (1) in agreement with Executive Order No. 13806, a healthy manufacturing and defense industrial base and resilient supply chains are essential to the economic strength and national security of the United States. Modern supply chains, however are often long and the ability of the United States to manufacture or obtain goods critical to national security could be hampered by an inability to obtain various essential components, which themselves may not be directly related to national security; (2) in agreement with Executive Order No. 13817, the United States is heavily reliant on imports of certain mineral commodities that are vital to the Nation's security and economic prosperity; (3) this dependency of the United States on foreign sources creates a strategic vulnerability for both its economy and military to adverse foreign government actons, natural disaster, and other events that can disrupt supply of these key minerals. Increased private-sector domestic exploration, production, recycling, and reprocessing of critical minerals, and support for efforts to identify more commonly available technological alternatives to these minerals, will reduce our dependence on imports, preserve our leadership in technological innovation, support job creation, improve national security and balance of trade, and enhance the technological superiority and readiness of our Armed Forces, which are among the Nation's most significant consumers of critical minerals; (4) the industrialization of developing nations has driven demand for nonfuel minerals necessary for telecommunications, military technologies, healthcare technologies, and conventional and renewable energy technologies; (5) the availability of minerals and mineral materials are essential for economic growth, national security, technological innovation, and the manufacturing and agricultural supply chain; (6) minerals and mineral materials are critical components of every transportation, water, telecommunications, and energy infrastructure project necessary to modernize the crumbling infrastructure of the United States; (7) the exploration, production, processing, use, and recycling of minerals contribute significantly to the economic well-being, security, and general welfare of the United States; and (8) the United States has vast mineral resources but is becoming increasingly dependent on foreign sources of mineral resources, as demonstrated by the fact that— (A) 25 years ago, the United States was dependent on foreign sources for 45 nonfuel mineral materials, of which— (i) 8 were imported by the United States to fulfill 100 percent of the requirements of the United States for those nonfuel mineral materials; and (ii) 19 were imported by the United States to fulfill greater than 50 percent of the requirements of the United States for those nonfuel mineral materials; (B) by 2015 the import dependence of the United States for nonfuel mineral materials increased from dependence on the import of 45 nonfuel mineral materials to dependence on the import of 47 nonfuel mineral materials, of which— (i) 19 were imported by the United States to fulfill 100 percent of the requirements of the United States for those nonfuel mineral materials; and (ii) 22 were imported by the United States to fulfill greater than 50 percent of the requirements of the United States for those nonfuel mineral materials; (C) according to the Department of Energy, the United States imports greater than 50 percent of the 41 metals and minerals key to clean energy applications; (D) the United States share of worldwide mineral exploration dollars was 7 percent in 2015, down from 19 percent in the early 1990s; (E) the 2014 Ranking of Countries for Mining Investment, which ranks 25 major mining countries, found that 7- to 10-year permitting delays are the most significant risk to mining projects in the United States; and (F) in late 2016, the Government Accountability Office found that— (i) the Federal government’s approach to addressing critical materials supply issues has not been consistent with selected key practices for interagency collaboration, such as ensuring that agencies’ roles and responsibilities are clearly defined ; and (ii) the Federal critical materials approach faces other limitations, including data limitations and a focus on only a subset of critical materials, a limited focus on domestic production of critical materials, and limited engagement with industry . 5002.
