Problem:SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Nuclear Cruise Missile
Reconsideration Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States is currently developing a new
nuclear-armed air-launched cruise missile, the long-range
standoff weapon.
(2) When asked by the Committee on Armed Services of the
Senate before his confirmation hearing about his support for
the long-range standoff weapon, Secretary of Defense James N.
Mattis stated, ''I will carefully examine the utility and
advisability of this program within existing nuclear
doctrine.''.
(3) When asked during his confirmation hearing whether he
would commit to support continued development of the long-range
standoff weapon, Secretary Mattis emphasized the need to
examine its ''deterrent capability''.
(4) The United States already plans to construct a new
fleet of nuclear-capable penetrating long-range strike bombers,
known as the B-21, that will carry the refurbished B61 nuclear
gravity bomb.
(5) The range and lethality of existing United States
strategic bombers is being improved by the addition of the
Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile, a long-range
conventionally armed air-launched cruise missile. The B-21
bomber will also be armed with this missile.
(6) According to public reports, the long-range standoff
weapon will be a far more precise version of its predecessor.
(7) General James E. Cartwright, former head of United
States Strategic Command, warned in 2016 that ''bring[ing] real
precision to [nuclear] weapons'' could ''make them more
usable''.
(8) In a 2014 letter to the Committee on Appropriations of
the Senate, Under Secretary of Defense Frank Kendall explained
that the long-range standoff weapon could have utility
''[b]eyond deterrence''.
(9) In a 2016 statement before the Subcommittee on
Strategic Forces of the Committee on Armed Services of the
House of Representatives, Assistant Secretary of Defense Robert
Scher asserted that the long-range standoff weapon would
provide the United States with the ability ''to respond
proportionately to a limited nuclear attack''.
(10) In a 2013 article in the Telegraph, Philip Hammond,
then-Defense Secretary of the United Kingdom explained, ''A
cruise-based deterrent would carry significant risk of
miscalculation and unintended escalation.''.
(11) In a 2015 article in the Washington Post, former
Secretary of Defense William J. Perry and former Assistant
Secretary of Defense Andrew Weber wrote, ''Because they can be
launched without warning and come in both nuclear and
conventional variants, cruise missiles are a uniquely
destabilizing type of weapon.''.

SEC. 3. RESTRICTION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR LONG-RANGE STANDOFF WEAPON.

(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any
fiscal year, the Secretary of Defense may not obligate or expend more
than $95,600,000 on development of the long-range standoff weapon or
any other nuclear-capable air-launched cruise missile, and the
Secretary of Energy may not obligate or expend more than $220,253,000
on the life extension program for the W80-4 warhead, until the
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the heads of other relevant
Federal agencies, submits to the appropriate congressional committees a
Nuclear Posture Review that includes a detailed and specific assessment
of the following:
(1) The anticipated capabilities of the long-range standoff
weapon to hold targets at risk beyond other already existing
and planned nuclear-capable delivery systems.
(2) The anticipated ability of the long-range standoff
weapon to elude adversary integrated air and missile defenses
compared to the B-21 bomber.
(3) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff
weapon on strategic stability relative to other nuclear-armed
countries.
(4) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff
weapon on the offensive nuclear weapons capabilities and
programs of other nuclear-armed countries.
(5) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff
weapon on the response of other nuclear-armed countries to
proposals to decrease or halt the growth of their nuclear
stockpiles.
(6) The anticipated effect of the long-range standoff
weapon on the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.
(b) Form.--The Nuclear Posture Review required by subsection (a)
shall be submitted in unclassified form but may include a classified
annex.
(c) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this section,
the term ''appropriate congressional committees'' means--
(1) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate; and
(2) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives.
Solution:
Nuclear Cruise Missile Reconsideration Act of 2017 This bill prohibits the obligation or expenditure of more than specified amounts by the Department of Defense (DOD) on development of the long-range standoff weapon or any other nuclear-capable air-launched cruise missile, or by the Department of Energy on the life extension program for the W80-4 warhead, until DOD submits to specified congressional committees a Nuclear Posture Review that includes an assessment of: the anticipated capabilities of the long-range standoff weapon to hold targets at risk beyond other already existing and planned nuclear-capable delivery systems; the anticipated ability of such weapon to elude adversary integrated air and missile defenses compared to the B-21 bomber; and the anticipated effect of such weapon on strategic stability relative to other nuclear-armed countries, on the offensive nuclear weapons capabilities and programs of other nuclear-armed countries, on the response of other nuclear-armed countries to proposals to decrease or halt the growth of their nuclear stockpiles, and on the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.
