SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Route 66 Centennial Commission
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Route 66 was the Nation's first all-paved highway under
the U.S. Highway System connecting the Midwest to California
and has played a major role in the history of the United
States.
(2) Route 66 was the symbol of opportunity to hundreds of
thousands of people seeking escape from the Dust Bowl in the
1930s, serving as a ''road to opportunity'' in the West and
providing employment during the Great Depression, as thousands
were put to work on road crews to pave the road.
(3) Route 66 was invaluable in transporting troops,
equipment, and supplies across the country to the West, where
the government established multiple industries and armed force
bases during World War II. Upon the conclusion of the war in
1945, Route 66 was a key route taken by thousands of troops as
they returned home.
(4) Route 66 symbolized the Nation's positive outlook
during the postwar economic recovery in the 1950s and 1960s,
serving as an icon of free-spirited independence and linking
people across the United States. During this period, the
tourist industry along Route 66 grew tremendously, giving rise
to countless tourist courts, motels, service stations, garages,
and diners.
(5) Since June 27, 1985, when Route 66 was decommissioned
as a Federal highway, the popularity and mythical stature of
Route 66 has grown domestically and internationally, as the
road has experienced a rebirth of interest and support.
(6) The year 2026 will be the centennial anniversary of
Route 66, and a commission should be established to study and
recommend to Congress activities that are fitting and proper to
celebrate that anniversary in a manner that appropriately
honors America's Mother Road.

SEC. 2. POSTPONEMENT OF DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF CONVERSION OF
CERTAIN MILITARY TECHNICIAN (DUAL STATUS) POSITIONS TO
POSITIONS OF CIVILIAN EMPLOYMENT BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) A September 2013 study conducted by a federally funded
research and development center found that 21 percent of the
military technician (dual status) positions are administrative
in nature--the largest category as a percentage of military
technician (dual status) positions. The study recommends
investigation on whether ''some Dual Status MilTech positions
supporting general administration functions could be converted
to Title 5 Federal civilian full-time support positions without
compromising unit readiness''. The study further recommends
investigation on whether ''it is more appropriate to use
military full-time support for other reasons (such as currency
in military operations and training and augmentation)''.
(2) Section 1053 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2016 directs the conversion of not fewer than
20 percent of all military technician positions to positions of
Federal civilian employment under title 5, United States Code,
by January 1, 2017. Section 1084 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 extends the deadline for
that conversion from January 1, 2017, to October 1, 2017.
(3) The Department of Defense submitted a report on the
management of military technicians in December 2016 that finds
that 12.6 percent of the military technician (dual status)
positions were administrative in nature, and recommended a
conversion of 4.8 percent of such positions to positions of
Federal civilian employment.
(4) The Chief of the National Guard Bureau testified before
Congress in April 2017 that a conversion of 20 percent of
military technician (dual status) positions to positions of
Federal civilian employment would degrade readiness, but that a
lower number could be converted with minimal impact. The Chief
of the National Guard Bureau also testified that the Department
of Defense had not conducted an analysis of the associated
costs and benefits of a conversion of 20 percent of military
technician (dual status) positions to positions of Federal
civilian employment.
(b) Postponement of Deadline for Completion of Conversion.--
Notwithstanding the deadline otherwise specified in paragraph (1) of
section 1053(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2016 (10 U.S.C. 113 note) for the completion of the conversion of
military technician positions as described in that subsection, the
deadline for the completion of such conversion shall be 180 days after
the date on which the Secretary of Defense transmits to Congress under
paragraph (6) of subsection (c) the report of the working group
required by paragraph (5) of that subsection.
(c) Working Group on Full Time Support of the Reserve Components.--

of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard Bureau and

comprehensive review of full time support of the reserve
components of the Armed Forces, including the following:

and objectives of military technicians (dual status) in
support of an operational reserve force.
(B) A review of the posture of current military
technician (dual status) positions, and of their
current role in meeting the objectives identified
pursuant to subparagraph (A).
(C) An analysis of potential restructurings of the
workforce of military technicians (dual status) in
order to identify a restructuring that fully aligns
military technician (dual status) positions with
objectives for full time support of the reserve
components.
(D) An identification of the military technician
(dual status) positions whose conversion to positions
of Federal civilian employment under title 5, United
States Code, would best ensure the achievement of
objectives for full time support of the reserve
components.
(E) An assessment of the impact on the readiness of
the National Guard for domestic operations of the
conversion of positions identified pursuant to
subparagraph (D) as described in that subparagraph.
(F) An assessment of costs and potential savings
associated with the conversion of positions identified
pursuant to subparagraph (D) as described in that
subparagraph.

the results of the review.

components of the Armed Forces as an operational
reserve.
(C) A transition plan for implementing a new force
structure for full time support of the reserve
components, including for the conversion of positions
as described in subparagraph (B) which mitigates any

benefits policies for military technician (dual status)
positions in order to provide military technicians
(dual status) with parity in compensation and benefits
with other Federal civilian employees of the Department
of Defense under title 5, United States Code.
(6) Transmittal of report to congress.--The Secretary shall
transmit to the congressional defense committees the report of
the working group under paragraph (5), together with such
discussion and recommendations in connection with the report as
