Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Commission on the Dual-Use 
Application of Facilities and Resources at White Sands Missile Range 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The end of the Cold War, the fall of communist 
        governments, and the spread of democratic principles and 
        governments across the world will permit the Federal Government 
        to continue the thoughtful reduction in the amount spent by the 
        United States for national defense.
            (2) The reallocation of amounts that would otherwise be 
        spent for that purpose offers an opportunity for the Federal 
        Government to expand the utilization of defense-related 
        equipment, processes, and technologies by the private sector, 
        thereby promoting growth and job creation in the United States 
        economy.
            (3) The Department of Defense has spent billions of dollars 
        on the research, development, test, and evaluation of a variety 
        of such equipment, processes, and technologies, including the 
        facilities, equipment, processes, and technologies utilized at 
        White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
            (4) The Department of Defense has not adequately studied or 
        provided guidance for the manner in which defense-related 
        facilities, equipment, processes, and technologies may be 
        utilized effectively by the private sector.
            (5) A study of the facilities and resources of White Sands 
        Missile Range provides an excellent opportunity to examine the 
        defense-related facilities, equipment, processes, and 
        technologies of the Department of Defense and their utilization 
        by scientific personnel engaged in a variety of research, 
        development, test, and evaluation programs.
            (6) The establishment of a commission for the study of such 
        facilities, equipment, processes, and technologies will provide 
        timely, relevant information on potential dual-use applications 
        of such facilities, equipment, processes, and technologies by 
        the private sector.
