Offshore wind energy development, Morro Bay, California (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Since 2016, the Department of Defense and Department of the Navy have been working with State and Federal stakeholders to determine whether a commercial lease for the development of renewable energy off the coast of Morro Bay, California could be developed in a manner that is compatible with the training and readiness requirements of the Department of Defense. (2) Military readiness and the ability to conduct realistic training are critical to our national security; however, energy security and other ocean uses are also important. These interests should be balanced to the extent practicable when analyzing offshore energy proposals. (3) In August 2019, Members of Congress, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment, senior officials from other Federal agencies, and state and local elected representatives met to discuss a path forward to accommodate wind energy development off the Central Coast of California while ensuring the Department of Defense was able to continue meeting its testing, training, and operational requirements. (4) Following the initial meeting in August 2019, the stakeholder group continued meeting at roughly monthly intervals through 2019 and into 2020 to discuss options and work towards a mutually agreeable solution for renewable energy development and continued military testing, training, and operational requirements off the Central Coast of California. (5) In May 2020, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Environment notified stakeholders that despite the previous year of negotiations, it was his view any wind energy developments off the Central Coast of California may not be viewed as being compatible with military activities. This unilateral decision was made abruptly, without providing any supporting analysis or acknowledgment of the progress and commitments made during previous negotiations, and was not in the spirit of cooperation and collaboration that had driven the previous nine months of stakeholder engagements. (6) Stakeholder confidence in the Department of Defense review process is paramount. Abrupt and unilateral changes of course erode confidence and undermine the State, local, and industry trust in a fair, transparent, and predictable adjudication of potential conflicts. (7) In early 2019, in order to create continuity between the offshore and terrestrial processes, the Department of Defense consolidated its review of proposed energy development projects so that offshore energy proposals were now included in the Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Clearinghouse (the Clearinghouse). The Clearinghouse has a proven record for reviewing proposed energy development projects through a fair and transparent process. The Morro Bay proposal pre-dates this consolidation but underwent a similar Department of Defense led compatibility review. (8) Congress has generally supported the transparent and fair Clearinghouse review process, as well as all efforts between the Department of Defense and other stakeholders to reach solutions that allow for the development of energy projects in a manner that is compatible with military testing, training, and operational requirements. (9) Legislating a solution to a specific energy development proposal should only be reserved for rare occasions. Due to Navy’s abrupt and unilateral decision to walk away from productive negotiations, after months of good-faith efforts by other stakeholders and public engagement, the threshold for congressional intervention has been reached. (b) Responsibility All interaction on behalf of the Department of the Navy with the California Energy Commission, Federal agencies, State and local governments, and potential energy developers regarding proposed offshore wind energy off the central coast of California shall be performed through the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. (c) Briefing requirement; limitation (1) Briefing Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall provide to the Committees on Armed Services and the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives a briefing on status of the review by the Offshore Energy Working Group of the request to locate at least two offshore wind lease areas proximate to and within the Morro Bay Call Area. Such briefing shall include— (A) a detailed map that shows any areas identified; (B) proposed mitigations that would enable compatible development in the areas identified; (C) any unresolved issues; and (D) any other terms of the agreement reached with the California Energy Commission, other Federal agencies, State and local governments, and potential energy developers. (2) Limitation The Secretary of Defense may not issue a final offshore wind assessment that proposes wind exclusion areas and may not object to an offshore energy project in the Central Coast of California that has filed for review by the Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Clearinghouse until the Secretary provides the briefing required under paragraph (1). (d) Limitation on use of funds Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2021, not more than 75 percent may be obligated or expended for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Environment until the date that is 30 days after the date on which the briefing required under subsection (c)(1) is provided. 327.

Sense of Congress on the prohibition on certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Prohibiting the use of telecommunications and video surveillance products or services from certain Chinese entities within the Federal Government’s supply chain is essential to our national security. (2) Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 ( Public Law 115–232 ; 132 Stat. 1917; 41 U.S.C. note prec. 3901) restricts Federal agencies from procuring, contracting with entities that use, or funding the purchase of certain telecommunications products of Chinese companies determined by Congress to pose a substantial threat to the security of our communication infrastructure. (3) Specifically, section 889(a)(1)(B) of such Act, effective August 13, 2020, will prohibit Federal agencies from entering into, extending, or renewing a contract with an entity that uses covered telecommunications and video surveillance equipment or services from designated Chinese companies, including Huawei and ZTE, in their supply chains. (4) As of July 1, 2020, the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council has yet to release a draft rule for public comment on the implementation of the prohibitions described in section 889(a)(1)(B) of such Act, leaving Federal agencies and contractors that provide equipment and services to the Federal Government without implementation guidance necessary to adequately plan for or comply with the prohibitions. (5) Belated, and then hurried, implementation of this critical prohibition puts at risk the Federal Government’s ability to acquire essential goods and services and increases vulnerability in the supply chain through inconsistent implementation. (6) A senior Department of Defense leader testified on June 10, 2020, that, I am very concerned about being able to implement [the prohibition] in August, as well as totally comply within two years … I believe we need more time . (7) Subsequent to the enactment of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 ( Public Law 115–232 ), Congress established the Federal Acquisition Security Council (FASC)—comprised of senior officials from the Office of Management and Budget, General Services Administration, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and the intelligence community—to streamline the Federal Government’s supply chain risk management efforts and develop criteria and processes for supply chain information sharing among executive agencies. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) successful implementation of the prohibition on using or procuring certain telecommunications and video surveillance equipment under section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 ( Public Law 115–232 ; 132 Stat. 1917; 41 U.S.C. note prec. 3901) is critical to protecting the supply chain of the Federal Government, and Federal agencies should draw upon the expert resources available (such as the Federal Acquisition Security Council established under subchapter III of chapter 13 of title 41, United States Code) to ensure implementation of such prohibition is done in a comprehensive and deliberative manner; and (2) the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council shall ensure successful implementation of such prohibition by providing sufficient time for public comment and review of any related rulemaking.

Sense of Congress on support for coordinated action to ensure the security of Baltic allies It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the continued security of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania is critical to achieving United States national security interests and defense objectives against the acute and formidable threat posed by Russia; (2) the United States and the Baltic states are leaders in the mission of defending independence and democracy from aggression and in promoting stability and security within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), with non-NATO partners, and with other international organizations such as the European Union; (3) the Baltic states are model NATO allies in terms of burden sharing and capital investment in materiel critical to United States and allied security, investment of over 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense expenditure, allocating over 20 percent of their defense budgets on capital modernization, matching security assistance from the United States, frequently deploying their forces around the world in support of allied and United States objectives, and sharing diplomatic, technical, military, and analytical expertise on defense and security matters; (4) the United States should continue to strengthen bilateral and multilateral defense by, with, and through allied nations, particularly those which possess expertise and dexterity but do not enjoy the benefits of national economies of scale; (5) the United States should pursue consistent efforts focused on defense and security assistance, coordination, and planning designed to ensure the continued security of the Baltic states and on deterring current and future challenges to the national sovereignty of United States allies and partners in the Baltic region; and (6) such an initiative should include an innovative and comprehensive conflict deterrence strategy for the Baltic region encompassing the unique geography of the Baltic states, modern and diffuse threats to their land, sea, and air spaces, and necessary improvements to their defense posture, including command-and-control infrastructure, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, communications equipment and networks, and special forces. 1243. Sense of Congress on support for Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are highly valued allies of the United States, and they have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to advancing our mutual interests as well as those of the NATO Alliance. (2) Operation Atlantic Resolve is a series of exercises and coordinating efforts demonstrating the United States’ commitment to its European partners and allies, including the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with the shared goal of peace and stability in the region. Operation Atlantic Resolve strengthens communication and understanding, and is an important effort to deter Russian aggression in the region. (3) Through Operation Atlantic Resolve, the European Deterrence Initiative undertakes exercises, training, and rotational presence necessary to reassure and integrate our allies, including the Baltic countries, into a common defense framework. (4) All three Baltic countries contributed to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, sending troops and operating with few caveats. The Baltic countries continue to commit resources and troops to the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan. (b) Sense of Congress Congress— (1) reaffirms its support for the principle of collective defense in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for our NATO allies, including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania; (2) supports the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and inviolability of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as well as their internationally recognized borders, and expresses concerns over increasingly aggressive military maneuvering by the Russian Federation near their borders and airspace; (3) expresses concern over and condemns subversive and destabilizing activities by the Russian Federation within the Baltic countries; and (4) encourages the Administration to further enhance defense cooperation efforts with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and supports the efforts of their Governments to provide for the defense of their people and sovereign territory. 1244.

Sense of Congress on burden sharing by partners and allies (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The United States’ alliances and other critical defense partnerships are a cornerstone of Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to deter aggression from our adversaries, counter violent extremism, and preserve United States national security interests in the face of challenges to those interests by Russia, China and other actors. (2) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is the most successful military alliance in history, having deterred war between major state powers for more than 70 years. (3) Collective security and the responsibility of each member of the security of the other members as well as the alliance as a whole is a pillar of the NATO alliance. (4) NATO members other than the United States collectively expend over $300,000,000,000 in defense investments annually and maintain military forces totaling an estimated 1,900,000 service members, bolstering the alliance’s collective capacity to counter shared threats. (5) At the NATO Wales Summit in 2014, NATO members pledged to strive to increase their own defense spending to 2 percent of their respective gross domestic products and to spend at least 20 percent of their defense budgets on equipment by 2024 as part of their burden sharing commitments. (6) Since 2014, there has been a steady increase in allied defense spending, with 22 member countries meeting defense spending targets in 2018 and having submitted plans to meet the targets by 2024. (7) In addition to individual defense spending contributions, NATO allies and partners also contribute to NATO and United States operations around the world, including the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan and the Global Coalition to Defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). (8) South Korea hosts a baseline of 28,500 United States forces including the Eighth Army and Seventh Air Force. (9) South Korea maintains Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense and Patriot Batteries that contribute to regional Ballistic Missile Defense, is a participant in the Enforcement Coordination Center, and is a significant contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations. (10) South Korea is an active consumer of United States Foreign Military Sales (FMS) with approximately $30,500,000,000 in active FMS cases and makes significant financial contributions to support forward deployed United States forces in South Korea, including contributions of $924,000,000 under the Special Measures Agreement in 2019 and over 90 percent of the cost of developing Camp Humphreys. (11) Japan hosts 54,000 United States forces including the Seventh Fleet, the only forward-deployed United States aircraft carrier, and the United States Marine Corps’ III Marine Expeditionary Force. (12) Japan maintains Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense and Patriot Batteries that contribute to regional Ballistic Missile Defense, conducts bilateral presence operations and mutual asset protection missions with United States forces, and is a capacity building contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations. (13) Japan is an active consumer of United States FMS with approximately $28,400,000,000 in active FMS cases and makes significant financial contributions to enable optimized United States military posture, including contributions of approximately $2,000,000,000 annually under the Special Measures Agreement, $187,000,000 annually under the Japan Facilities Improvement Program, $12,100,000,000 for the Futenma Replacement Facility, $4,800,000,000 for Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, and $3,100,000,000 for construction on Guam to support the movement of United States Marines from Okinawa. (b) Sense of congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States Government should focus on United States national security requirements for investment in forward presence, joint exercises, investments, and commitments that contribute to the security of the United States and collective security, and cease efforts that solely focus on the financial contributions of United States allies and partners when negotiating joint security arrangements; (2) the United States must continue to strengthen its alliances and security partnerships with like-minded democracies around the world to deter aggression from authoritarian competitors and promote peace and respect for democratic values and human rights around the world; (3) United States partners and allies should continue to increase their military capacity and enhance their ability to contribute to global peace and security; (4) NATO allies should continue working toward their 2014 Wales Defense Investment Pledge commitments; (5) the United States should maintain forward-deployed United States forces in order to better ensure United States national security and global stability; and (6) alliances and partnerships are the cornerstone of United States national security and critical to countering the threat posed by malign actors to the post-World War II liberal international order. 1246. Sense of Congress on NATO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been working with allies and partners to provide support to the civilian response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (commonly referred to as COVID-19 ) pandemic, including logistics and planning, field hospitals, and transport, while maintaining NATO’s operational readiness and continuing to carry out critical NATO missions. (2) Since the beginning of the pandemic, NATO allies and partners have completed more than 350 airlift flights, supplying hundreds of tons of critical supplies globally, have built nearly 100 field hospitals and dedicated more than half a million troops to support the civilian response to the pandemic. (3) NATO’s Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre has been operating 24 hours, seven days a week to coordinate requests for supplies and resources. (4) The NATO Support and Procurement Agency’s Strategic Airlift Capability and Strategic Airlift International Solution programs have chartered flights to transport medical supplies between partners and allies. (5) NATO established Rapid Air Mobility to speed up military air transport of medical supplies and resources to allies and partners experiencing a shortage of medical supplies and personal protective equipment. (6) In June 2020, NATO Defense Ministers agreed to future steps to prepare for a potential second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a new operation plan, establishing a stockpile of medical equipment and supplies, and a new fund to acquire medical supplies and services. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) NATO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is an excellent example of the democratic alliance’s capacity tackling overwhelming logistical challenges through close collaboration; (2) the United States should remain committed to strengthening NATO’s operational response to the pandemic; and (3) the United States should fulfill its commitments made at the 2020 NATO Defense Ministerial and continue to bolster the work of the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre, the NATO Support and Procurement Agency’s Strategic Airlift Capability and Strategic Airlift International Solution programs, and other efforts to utilize NATO’s capabilities to support the civilian pandemic response.

Findings Congress finds the following: (1) As stated in the United States-China Economic and Security Commission’s 2019 Report to Congress, the United States retains many advantages over the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in space, including— (A) the organization and technical expertise of its space program; (B) the capabilities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for human spaceflight and exploration; (C) its vibrant commercial space sector; (D) its long history of space leadership; and (E) many international partnerships. (2) The PRC seeks to establish a leading position in the economic and military use of outer space and views space as critical to its future security and economic interests. (3) The PRC’s national-level commitment to establishing itself as a global space leader harms United States interests and threatens to undermine many of the advantages the United States has worked so long to establish. (4) For over 60 years, the United States has led the world in space exploration and human space flight through a robust national program that ensures NASA develops and maintains critical spaceflight systems to enable this leadership, including the Apollo program’s Saturn V rocket, the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station and the Space Launch System and Orion today. (5) The Defense Intelligence Agency noted in its 2019 Challenges to U.S. Security in Space report that the PRC was developing a national super-heavy lift rocket comparable to NASA’s Space Launch System. (6) The United States space program and commercial space sector risks being hollowed out by the PRC’s plans to attain leadership in key technologies. (7) It is in the economic and security interest of the United States to remain the global leader in space power. (8) A recent report by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Defense Innovation Unit found that China’s strategy to bolster its domestic space industry includes a global program of theft and other misappropriation of intellectual property, direct integration of state-owned entities and their technology with commercial start-ups, the use of front companies to invest in United States space companies, vertical control of supply chains, and predatory pricing. (9) The United States Congress passed the Wolf Amendment as part of the Fiscal Year 2012 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act ( Public Law 112–55 ) and every year thereafter in response to the nefarious and offensive nature of Chinese activities in the space industry. 1723.

Short title This division may be cited as the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 . 5002. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Artificial intelligence is a tool that has the potential to change and possibly transform every sector of the United States economy and society. (2) The Federal Government should continue to play an important role advancing research, development, standards, and education activities in artificial intelligence through coordination and collaboration between government, academia, and the private sector to leverage the intellectual, physical, and digital resources of each stakeholder. (3) The Federal Government lacks clear understanding of the capabilities of artificial intelligence and its potential to affect various social and economic sectors, including ethical concerns, national security implications, and workforce impacts. (4) Researchers from academia, Federal laboratories, and much of the private sector have limited access to many high-quality datasets, computing resources, or real-world testing environments to design and deploy safe and trustworthy artificial intelligence systems. (5) There is a lack of standards and benchmarking for artificial intelligence systems that academia and the public and private sectors can use to evaluate the performance of these systems before and after deployment. (6) Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a highly interdisciplinary field with expertise required from a diverse range of scientific and other scholarly disciplines that traditionally work independently and continue to face cultural and institutional barriers to large scale collaboration. (7) Current Federal investments and funding mechanisms are largely insufficient to incentivize and support the large-scale interdisciplinary and public-private collaborations that will be required to advance trustworthy artificial intelligence systems in the United States. (8) The United States education pipeline for artificial intelligence fields faces significant challenges. Not only does the artificial intelligence research field lack the gender and racial diversity of the American population as a whole, but it is failing to both retain researchers and adequately support educators to meet the demands of the next generation of students studying artificial intelligence. (9) In order to help drive forward advances in trustworthy artificial intelligence across all sectors and to the benefit of all Americans, the Federal Government must provide sufficient resources and use its convening power to facilitate the growth of artificial intelligence human capital, research, and innovation capacity in academia and other nonprofit research organizations, companies of all sizes and across all sectors, and within the Federal Government. 5003. Definitions In this division: (1) Advisory Committee The term Advisory Committee means the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee established under section 5104(a). (2) Agency head The term agency head means the head of any Executive agency (as defined in section 105 of title 5, United States Code). (3) Artificial intelligence The term artificial intelligence means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. Artificial intelligence systems use machine and human-based inputs to— (A) perceive real and virtual environments; (B) abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and (C) use model inference to formulate options for information or action. (4) Initiative The term Initiative means the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative established under section 5101(a). (5) Initiative Office The term Initiative Office means the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office established under section 5102(a). (6) Institute The term Institute means an Artificial Intelligence Research Institute described in section 201(b)(1).
