Provision of uncontaminated water for agricultural use on land contaminated by PFOS and PFOA used on military installations (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (in this section referred to as PFOS ) and perfluorooctanoic acid (in this section referred to as PFOA ) are part of a class of man-made chemicals that have been used in a variety of industrial and consumer products to make the products resist heat, stains, water, and grease. Because PFOS and PFOA extinguish petroleum fires quickly, the Department of Defense and commercial airports began using aqueous film forming foam containing PFOS and PFOA in the 1970s. (2) PFOS and PFOA can accumulate and stay in the body for long periods of time. Exposure to PFOS and PFOA may cause health problems, including issues with the reproductive system, liver and kidney damage, developmental issues in children, and negatively impacted immune system, and cancer. (3) A common method of human exposure to PFOS and PFOA is by consuming contaminated drinking water. (4) The Environmental Protection Agency issued lifetime health advisories under the Safe Drinking Water Act for individual or combined PFOS and PFOA concentrations at 70 parts per trillion in 2016, but has not yet issued any guidance or regulation for groundwater or agricultural water. (5) The Department of Defense has provided mitigations in many communities where drinking water has tested at or above the lifetime health advisory level, including bottled water and drinking water filtration systems. Due to the lack of regulatory guidance, these mitigations have not been mirrored in agricultural water systems. (6) As a result, farmers located adjacent to military installations with PFOS and PFOA contamination that has migrated off-installation are potentially impacted, and in at least one case, such contamination has had a serious impact on the livelihood of a dairy farmer. (b) Authority to provide uncontaminated water for agricultural purposes (1) In general If an area has been identified under paragraph (2), and a military installation has been determined to be the source of that contamination, the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary concerned may provide, for the purpose of producing agricultural products destined for human consumption— (A) water sources uncontaminated with perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, including PFOA and PFOS, or (B) treatment of contaminated waters. (2) Identification of areas An area identified under this paragraph is an area for which the level of PFOA or PFOS contamination— (A) is above the lifetime health advisory for contamination for such compounds as issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and printed in the Federal Register on May 25, 2016; (B) is at or above a regulatory standard set by the Food and Drug Administration for PFOA and PFOS in raw agricultural commodities and milk; or (C) is at or above a duly promulgated, non-discriminatory standard promulgated by a State regulatory entity for PFOA and PFOS in raw agricultural commodities and milk. (3) Source of funds Amounts used to carry out this section shall be derived— (A) in the case of amounts made available by the Secretary concerned, from amounts authorized to be appropriated for Operation and Maintenance for the military department concerned; or (B) in the case of amounts made available by the Secretary of Defense, from amounts authorized to be appropriated for Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide. (c) Sense of Congress regarding land acquisition It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary concerned should explore authorities under which the Secretary could acquire land the land adjacent to military installations where the owners of the land have experienced impacts to their livelihood due to PFOS and PFOA contamination that has been verified to have been caused by that installation, including the authorities under sections 2663, 2864a, and 2869 of title 10, United States Code. C Logistics and Sustainment 331. Material readiness metrics and objectives (a) Material readiness metrics and objectives (1) In general Chapter 2 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 117 the following new section: 118. Material readiness metrics and objectives (a) Guidance (1) The Secretary of Defense shall issue and maintain guidance requiring the implementation and use of material readiness metrics to enable assessment of the readiness of armed forces to carry out the national defense strategy required by section 113 of this title. (2) Guidance issued pursuant to this section shall ensure that such material readiness metrics— (A) are based on standardized and consistent criteria; and (B) are applied, used, recorded, and reported in same manner by all components of the Department of Defense. (b) Metrics At a minimum, the material readiness metrics required by subsection (a) shall address the material availability, operational availability, and material reliability of each major weapon system by designated mission design series, variant, or class.

D Matters relating to Russia 1231. Prohibition on the use of funds to suspend, terminate, or withdraw the United States from the Open Skies Treaty (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Since 1992, the United States has supported the Open Skies Treaty with dedicated aircraft and observation mission teams, conducting several hundred training and observation missions with other countries. (2) This commitment by the United States has helped to confirm and refine operational procedures, to improve implementation and effectiveness of the Open Skies Treaty, and provide United States leadership and engagement opportunities that have supported broader objectives and improved European transparency. (3) The Open Skies Treaty provides signatories with the ability to gather information through aerial imaging on military forces and activities of concern to them which contributes to greater transparency and stability in the Euro-Atlantic region, which benefits both the United States and United States allies and partners. (4) In order to maximize United States benefits from the Open Skies Treaty, the United States needs to recapitalize and modernize its aircraft and sensors, and the ongoing work to certify the Digital Visual Imaging System and the new effort for the Open Skies Treaty Aircraft Recapitalization (OSTAR) are critical to United States leadership and involvement in the Treaty. (5) The current 1960s-era United States aircraft used with respect to the Open Skies Treaty are ill-suited to extreme operating environments in Russia and experience regular, unplanned maintenance issues, often resulting in mission delays or cancellations. (6) The OSTAR effort will provide a United States aircraft capability that allows the United States to fully implement the goals and objectives of the Open Skies Treaty. (7) The United States also demonstrated in December 2018, along with United States allies of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Romania, that Open Skies Treaty mechanisms can be used during times of crisis. (8) Following Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukrainian vessels near the Kerch Strait, the United States and United States allies conducted an extraordinary Open Skies Treaty observation mission over Ukraine to reaffirm commitment to Ukraine. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States should forcefully address Russian violations of its obligations under the Open Skies Treaty; and (2) due to the significant benefits that observation missions under the Open Skies Treaty provide to the United States and United States allies, the United States should commit to continued participation in the Treaty. (c) Prohibition (1) In general Except as provided in paragraph (2), none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2020 may be obligated or expended to take any action to suspend, terminate, or withdraw the United States from the Open Skies Treaty. (2) Exception The prohibition in paragraph (1) shall not apply if the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State jointly determine and certify to the congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, that— (A) Russia is in material breach of its obligations under the Open Skies Treaty and is not taking steps to return to compliance with such obligations, and all other state parties to the Open Skies Treaty concur in such determination of the Secretaries; or (B) withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty would be in the best interests of United States national security and the other state parties to the Open Skies Treaty have been consulted with respect to such withdrawal. (d) Repeal of limitation on use of funds to vote to approve or otherwise adopt any implementing decision of the Open Skies Consultative Commission and modifications to report (1) In general Section 1236 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 ( Public Law 114–328 ; 130 Stat. 2491) is amended— (A) by striking subsections (a) and (b); and (B) by redesignating subsections (c), (d), (e), and (f) as subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d), respectively.

(2) The acquisition of the Patriot system could remove the need to acquire the S-400 air and missile defense system from Russia, which is incompatible with the integrated air and missile defense system of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and should preclude Turkey’s participation in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) consortium program with the United States.

Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Russia seeks to diminish the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and recreate its sphere of influence in Europe using coercion, intimidation, and outright aggression.

(3) The illegal occupation of Crimea by Russia and its continued engagement of destabilizing and subversive activities against independent and free states is of increasing concern. (4) Russia also continues to disregard treaties, international laws and rights to freedom of navigation, territorial integrity, and sovereign international borders. (5) Russia’s continued occupation of Georgian and Ukrainian territories and the sustained military buildup in Russia’s Western Military District and Kaliningrad has threatened continental peace and stability. (6) The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are particularly vulnerable to an increasingly aggressive and subversive Russia. (7) In a declaration to celebrate 100 years of independence of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania issued on April 3, 2018, the Trump Administration reaffirmed United States commitments to these Baltic countries to improve military readiness and capabilities through sustained security assistance and explore new ideas and opportunities, including air defense, bilaterally and in NATO, to enhance deterrence across the region . (8) These highly valued NATO allies of the United States have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to advancing mutual interests as well as those of the NATO alliance. (9) The Baltic countries also continue to participate in United States-led exercises to further promote coordination, cooperation, and interoperability among allies and partner countries, and continue to demonstrate their reliability and commitment to provide for their own defense. (10) Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia each hosts a respected NATO Center of Excellence that provides expertise to educate and promote NATO allies and partners in areas of vital interest to the alliance. (11) United States support and commitment to allies across Europe has been a lynchpin for peace and security on the continent for over 70 years. 1272. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress as follows: (1) The United States is committed to the security of the Baltic countries and should strengthen cooperation and support capacity-building initiatives aimed at improving the defense and security of such countries. (2) The United States should lead a multilateral effort to develop a strategy to deepen joint capabilities with Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, NATO allies, and other regional partners, to deter against aggression from Russia in the Baltic region, specifically in areas that would strengthen interoperability, joint capabilities, and military readiness necessary for Baltic countries to strengthen their national resilience. (3) The United States should explore the feasibility of providing additional air and missile defense systems in the Baltic region, including through leveraging cost-sharing mechanisms and multilateral deployment with NATO allies to reduce financial burdens on host countries. 1273.
