PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''National Center for Excellence in
Research and Development Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Due to the end of the Cold War, the United States has
not recently conducted underground nuclear testing at the
Department of Energy facility known as the Nevada Test Site,
Nevada, and the United States does not plan to conduct such
testing in the foreseeable future.
(2) Because the world political situation is ever-changing
and dangerous, it is imperative that the United States remain
strong militarily and continue to be a nuclear superpower.
(3) It is imperative that portions of the Nevada Test Site
be maintained in a full state of readiness to ensure the
capability of the nuclear arsenal of the United States.
(4) The Nevada Test Site is in a beneficial location for
activities suitable for research and development of emerging
technologies that will be important to the United States in the
21st century.
(5) Technology development carried out at the Nevada Test
Site should include both private-sector and military projects.
(6) The Nevada Test Site can support the stewardship of the
Nation's nuclear weapons stockpile, the nonproliferation of
nuclear weapons, and the technological competitiveness of the
United States by providing the environment for nuclear and non-
nuclear test and demonstration experiments and projects for
government, industry, and academia.
(7) The Nevada Test Site can provide the infrastructure to
support industrial and civilian tests of environmentally
demanding projects and programs in addition to maintaining its
readiness capability in support of the nuclear arsenal.
(8) The Nevada Test Site can support the testing and
demonstration of environmental clean-up technologies by
government and industry.
(9) The Nevada Test Site can support the testing of
alternative and renewable energy sources for environmentally
clean and economically competitive replacements for traditional
fossil energy sources and uses in many parts of Nevada and in
the United States as a whole.
(10) The Nevada Test Site can provide support for
disarmament activities such as the demonstration of rocket
motor destruction technology and conventional munitions
destruction technology.
(11) The Nevada Test Site can support non-proliferation
experiments in disablement, nuclear forensics, sensors, and
verification and monitoring.
(12) The Nevada Test Site can support treaty-compliant
experiments for stockpile stewardship purposes.
(13) The size and remoteness of the Nevada Test Site make
the Nevada Test Site well-suited for a multitude of activities
associated with the restructuring of the United States
military.
(14) The Nevada Test Site can also support non-
proliferation, counter-proliferation, and counter-terrorism
activities.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
