SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The central and lower Mississippi Valley region 
        contained the highest population levels and the most complex 
        Native American societies north of Mexico before the arrival of 
        European peoples in the 16th century.
            (2) In addition, the Mississippi Valley has also hosted 
        Spanish, French, English, and ultimately American societies at 
        different times in the last 450 years.
            (3) Blytheville, Arkansas, is centrally located in the 
        Mississippi Valley region.
            (4) Former Eaker Air Force Base, which is located outside 
        of Blytheville, Arkansas, in the central Mississippi Valley 
        region, is the site of 14 archaeological sites associated with 
        Native Americans.
            (5) Because of its value in illustrating and interpreting 
        the heritage of the United States, the largest of these 
        archaeological sites, was recognized by the National Park 
        Service as a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
            (6) Another archaeological site outside of Blytheville, 
        Arkansas, the Chickasawba Mound, was placed on the National 
        Register of Historic Places in 1984 because of its historic and 
        archaeological resources.
            (7) These previous actions by the Department of the 
        Interior recognize that these archaeological sites are likely 
        to benefit, educate, and inspire present and future generations 
        of Americans, but no unified heritage park for the central 
        Mississippi Valley region exists within the National Park 
        Service.
            (8) Blytheville, Arkansas, also possesses many other 
        regionally and nationally significant natural, seismic, 
        cultural, and recreational resources associated with the 
        heritage of the central Mississippi Valley region.
            (9) The sites and resources associated with the heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region require recognition 
        through the establishment of a national historical park for the 
        central Mississippi Valley region as a unit of the National 
        Park System.
            (10) As a result of the closing of Eaker Air Force Base in 
        Blytheville, Arkansas, pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and 
        Realignment Act of 1990, Federal land and facilities are 
        readily available for the establishment of a national 
        historical park for the central Mississippi Valley region to 
        protect the archaeological sites located on the former military 
        installation, as well as to preserve, maintain, and interpret 
        the natural, seismic, cultural, and recreational heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region for the benefit, 
        education, and inspiration of present and future generations of 
        Americans.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Boko Haram Disarmament and Northeast 
Nigeria Recovery Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On the night of April 14, 2014, 276 female students, 
        most of them between 15 and 18 years old, were abducted by Boko 
        Haram from the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School, a 
        boarding school located in Borno state in the Federal Republic 
        of Nigeria.
            (2) All public secondary schools in Borno state were closed 
        in March 2014 because of increasing attacks by Boko Haram that 
        killed hundreds of students, but the schoolgirls returned to 
        school, despite the potential dangers, determined to pursue 
        their education.
            (3) Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for subsequent 
        kidnappings in the region.
            (4) Boko Haram leaders have threatened to sell the 
        kidnapped schoolgirls into slavery and according to reports, 
        has previously kept female hostages as slaves and committed 
        sexual violence against them.
            (5) Boko Haram seems determined to carry out sophisticated 
        and deadly attacks and to expand its area of operation.
            (6) Boko Haram has targeted schools, mosques, churches, 
        villages, and agricultural centers, as well as government 
        facilities, in hopes of creating an Islamic state in northern 
        Nigeria.
            (7) There are estimates that Boko Haram has killed more 
        than 4,000 people since 2011, and more than 2,000 people this 
        year alone.
            (8) There is a possibility that many of the girls may have 
        been taken into neighboring countries.
            (9) Boko Haram and other terrorist organizations pose a 
        growing threat to United States interests in the region, as 
        well as to broader regional peace and security.
            (10) In an effort to locate the kidnapped schoolgirls, the 
        United States authorized the deployment of up to 80 military 
        personnel to Chad in order to help with intelligence and 
        surveillance.
            (11) The United States military have provided training, 
        equipment, and other support for counter-terrorism units in the 
        Sahel region to combat Al Qaeda affiliates and related groups 
        in Africa.
            (12) Cameroon, Niger, and Chad have deployed troops in an 
        effort to secure their borders against Boko Haram.
            (13) The United States named several individuals linked to 
        Boko Haram as Specially Designated Global Terrorists in 2012 
        and designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization 
        in November 2013.
            (14) On May 22, 2014, the United Nations Security Council 
        added Boko Haram to the 1267 sanctions list, a list of Al 
        Qaeda-linked terrorist organizations subject to weapons 
        embargoes, travel bans, and asset freezes.
            (15) The Senate and House have both passed resolutions 
        condemning Boko Haram and the abduction of female students by 
        the group from schools in the northeastern province of Borno in 
        the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Missile Defense Defend and Deter Act 
of 2016''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) It is in the highest strategic interest of the United 
        States to field a fully operational missile defense system to 
        defend against threats from intercontinental ballistic missiles 
        (ICBMs) of rogue nations, including North Korea and Iran.
            (2) In the past year, the Democratic People's Republic of 
        Korea tested a nuclear weapon and an intercontinental ballistic 
        missile and has made claims that it now possesses the ability 
        to miniaturize a nuclear warhead.
            (3) The ground-based midcourse defense (GMD) element of the 
        ballistic missile defense system (BMDS) is one of the most 
        critical capabilities needed to defend the United States 
        against threats from intercontinental ballistic missiles, 
        conventional and nuclear.
            (4) The test program of the Missile Defense Agency provides 
        vital data to demonstrate the operational effectiveness, 
        suitability, and survivability of the ballistic missile defense 
        system, and it contributes to United States nonproliferation 
        goals by sending a very credible message to the international 
        community on the ability of the United States to defeat 
        ballistic missiles in flight, thus reducing their value to 
        potential adversaries.

SEC. 3. REQUIRED TESTING BY MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY OF GROUND-BASED 
              MIDCOURSE DEFENSE ELEMENT OF BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE 
              SYSTEM.

    (a) Testing Required.--Except as provided in subsection (c), not 
less frequently than once each fiscal year, the Director of the Missile 
Defense Agency shall administer an intercept flight test of the ground-
based midcourse defense element of the ballistic missile defense 
system.
    (b) Requirements.--The Director shall ensure that each test carried 
out under subsection (a) provides, when possible, for one or more of 
the following:
            (1) Validation of the operational effectiveness of the 
        ground-based midcourse defense element of the ballistic missile 
        defense system.
            (2) Use of assets in their operational configuration 
        against an inventory of targets to assess all aspects of 
        ground-based midcourse defense elements of the ballistic 
        missile defense system performance in a variety of flight test 
        regimes.
            (3) Use of operational doctrine and real-world constraints.
            (4) Evaluation of new concepts of operations and exercising 
        tactics, techniques, and procedures.
            (5) Mechanisms to assure the confidence of members of the 
        Armed Forces in the basic design of the ground-based midcourse 
        defense element of the ballistic missile defense system, its 
        hit-to-kill effectiveness, and its inherent operational 
        capability.
    (c) Exceptions.--
            (1) Nonintercept test.--The Director may forgo a test under 
        subsection (a) in a fiscal year if the Secretary of Defense, in 
        consultation with the Director, determines that conducting the 
        test would--
                    (A) jeopardize national security;
                    (B) not be successful due to specific ground-based 
                midcourse defense components needing a nonintercept 
                test; and
                    (C) likely lead to failure due to impractical time 
                considerations.
            (2) Funding.--The Director may forgo a test under 
        subsection (a) in a fiscal year if the Secretary of Defense, in 
        consultation with the Director, determines that the test is not 
        sufficiently funded.

                Intelligence, and the Commander of United States 
                Northern Command (NORTHCOM), determines that the 
                provision of testing as described in that subsection is

Output: Missile Defense Defend and Deter Act of 2016 This bill requires the Department of Defense (DOD) Missile Defense Agency to administer an intercept flight test of the ground-based midcourse defense element of the ballistic missile defense system at least once each fiscal year.  Each test shall provide for:   validation of the defense element's operational effectiveness; use of assets in their operational configuration against an inventory of targets to assess performance in a variety of flight test regimes;  use of operational doctrine and real-world constraints;  evaluation of new concepts of operations, tactics, and techniques; and  mechanisms to assure the confidence of members of the Armed Forces in the basic design of the ground-based midcourse defense element, its hit-to-kill effectiveness, and its operational capability.   The Agency may forgo a test if:   it would jeopardize national security, not be successful due to specific ground-based midcourse defense components needing a non-intercept test, and likely fail due to impractical time considerations; or  funding is insufficient.  The Agency also may forgo a test if DOD determines that the testing is detrimental to U.S. national security interests and provides notice to Congress.
