(a) In General.--Section 10541(b) of title 10, United States Code,
is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(10) A joint assessment by the Chief of Staff of the Army
and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau on the efforts of
the Army to achieve parity among the active component, the Army
Reserve, and the Army National Guard with respect to equipment
and capabilities. Each assessment shall include a comparison of

``(B) UH-60 Black Hawk Utility Helicopters;
``(C) Abrams Main Battle Tanks;
``(D) Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles;
``(E) Stryker Combat Vehicles; and
``(F) any other items of equipment identified as
high priority by the Chief of Staff of the Army or the
Chief of the National Guard Bureau.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
apply with respect to reports required to be submitted under section
10541 of title 10, United States Code, after the date of the enactment
of this Act.
SEC. 112. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR M27 INFANTRY
AUTOMATIC RIFLE PROGRAM.
(a) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this
Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019 for the M27
Infantry Automatic Rifle program of the Marine Corps, not more than 80
percent may be obligated or expended until the date on which the
Commandant of the Marine Corps submits to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives the assessment
described in subsection (b).
(b) Assessment.--The assessment described in this subsection is a
written summary of the views of the Marine Corps with respect to the
Small Arms Ammunition Configuration Study of the Army, including--
(1) an explanation of how the study informs the future
small arms modernization requirements of the Marine Corps; and
(2) near-term and long-term modernization strategies for
the small arms weapon systems of the Marine Corps, including
associated funding and schedule profiles.
Subtitle C--Navy Programs
SEC. 121. INCREASE IN NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL AIRCRAFT CARRIERS OF THE
NAVY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The aircraft carrier can fulfill the Navy's core
missions of forward presence, sea control, ensuring safe sea
lanes, and power projection as well as providing flexibility
and versatility to execute a wide range of additional missions.
(2) Forward airpower is integral to the security and joint
forces operations of the United States. Carriers play a central
role in delivering forward airpower from sovereign territory of
the United States in both permissive and nonpermissive
environments.
(3) Aircraft carriers provide our Nation the ability to
rapidly and decisively respond to national threats, as well as
conducting worldwide, on-station diplomacy and providing
deterrence against threats to the United States allies,
partners, and friends.
(4) Since the end of the cold war, aircraft carrier
deployments have increased while the aircraft carrier force
structure has declined.
(5) Considering the increased array of complex threats
across the globe, the Navy aircraft carrier is operating at
maximum capacity, increasing deployment lengths and decreasing
maintenance periods in order to meet operational requirements.
(6) To meet global peacetime and wartime requirements, the
Navy has indicated a requirement to maintain two aircraft
carriers deployed overseas and have three additional aircraft
carriers capable of deploying within 90 days. However, the Navy
has indicated that the existing aircraft carrier force
structure cannot support these military requirements.
(7) Despite the requirement to maintain an aircraft carrier
strike group in both the United States Central Command and the
United States Pacific Command, the Navy has been unable to
generate sufficient capacity to support combatant commanders
and has developed significant carrier gaps in these critical
areas.
(8) Because of the continuing use of a diminished aircraft
carrier force structure, extensive maintenance availabilities
result which typically exceed program costs and increase time
in shipyards. These expansive maintenance availabilities
exacerbate existing carrier gaps.
(9) Developing an alternative design to the Ford-class
aircraft carrier is not cost beneficial. A smaller design is
projected to incur significant design and engineering cost
while significantly reducing magazine size, carrier air wing
size, sortie rate, and on-station effectiveness, among other
vital factors, as compared to the Ford-class. Furthermore, a
new design will delay the introduction of future aircraft
carriers, exacerbating existing carrier gaps and threatening
the national security of the United States.
(10) The 2016 Navy Force Structure Assessment states ``A
minimum of 12 aircraft carriers are required to meet the
increased warfighting response requirements of the Defense
Planning Guidance Defeat/Deny force sizing direction.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States should expedite delivery of 12
aircraft carriers; and
(2) an aircraft carrier should be authorized every three
years.
(c) Increase in Number of Operational Aircraft Carriers of the
Navy.--
(1) Increase.--Section 5062(b) of title 10, United States
Code, is amended by striking ``11 operational aircraft
carriers'' and inserting ``12 operational aircraft carriers''.
(2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1)
shall take effect on September 30, 2022.
SEC. 122. PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY FOR FORD CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER
PROGRAM.
(a) Contract Authority.--
(1) Procurement authorized.--The Secretary of the Navy may
enter into one or more contracts, beginning with the fiscal
year 2019 program year, for the procurement of one Ford class
aircraft carrier to be designated CVN-81.
(2) Procurement in conjunction with cvn-80.--The aircraft
carrier authorized to be procured under subsection (a) may be
procured as an addition to the contract covering the Ford class
aircraft carrier designated CVN-80 that is authorized to be
constructed under section 121 of the John Warner National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-
364; 120 Stat. 2104).
(b) Use of Incremental Funding.--With respect to a contract entered
into under subsection (a), the Secretary of the Navy may use
incremental funding to make payments under the contract.
(c) Liability.--A contract entered into under subsection (a) shall
provide that the total liability to the Government for termination of
the contract entered into shall be limited to the total amount of
funding obligated at the time of termination.

than five amphibious vessels.
(b) Limitation.--The Secretary of the Navy may not modify a
contract entered into under subsection (a) if the modification would
increase the target price of an amphibious vessel by more than 10
percent above the target price specified in the original contract
awarded for the amphibious vessel under subsection (a).
(c) Authority for Advance Procurement.--The Secretary of the Navy
may enter into one or more contracts for advance procurement associated
with the amphibious vessels for which authorization to enter into a
multiyear procurement contract is provided under subsection (a) and for
equipment or subsystems associated with the amphibious vessels,
including procurement of--
(1) long lead time material; or
(2) material or equipment in economic order quantities when
cost savings are achievable.
(d) Condition for Out-year Contract Payments.--A contract entered
into under subsection (a) shall provide that any obligation of the
United States to make a payment under the contract for a fiscal year
after fiscal year 2019 is subject to the availability of appropriations
or funds for that purpose for such later fiscal year.
(e) Limitation on Termination Liability.--A contract for the
construction of amphibious vessels entered into under subsection (a)
shall include a clause that limits the liability of the United States
to the contractor for any termination of the contract. The maximum
liability of the United States under the clause shall be the amount
appropriated for the amphibious vessels covered by the contract
regardless of the amount obligated under the contract.
(f) Amphibious Vessel Defined.--The term ``amphibious vessel''
means a San Antonio class amphibious transport dock ship with a Flight
II configuration.

into under subsection (a) shall provide that any obligation of the
United States to make a payment under the contract for a fiscal year
after fiscal year 2019 is subject to the availability of appropriations
or funds for that purpose for such later fiscal year.
(c) Covered Period Defined.--In this section, the term ``covered
period'' means the 5-year period beginning with the fiscal year 2019
program year and ending with the fiscal year 2023 program year.
SEC. 126. MULTIYEAR PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY FOR E-2D AIRCRAFT.

SEC. 147. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING KC-46 AERIAL
REFUELING TANKERS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Aerial refueling tankers provide an essential
foundation for our nation's ability to project power and deter
adversaries, enabling the global reach of our joint force.
(2) 87 percent of the legacy aerial refueling fleet is
comprised of KC-135 aircraft with an average age of 56 years.
(3) The Commander of United States Transportation Command
has identified the aerial refueling fleet as the ``most
stressed of our air mobility forces'' and stated that
``delaying KC-46 production puts the Joint Force's ability to
effectively execute war plans at risk''.
(4) As directed by the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), the Air Force is
undertaking an updated mobility capability and requirements
study that will reflect guidance articulated in the 2018
National Defense Strategy and reassess the current tanker
requirement of 479 aircraft.
(5) The fixed-price contract for KC-46A calls for 179
aircraft to be delivered by 2028.
(6) The KC-46 is a multirole platform that will bring
enhanced capabilities to both the aerial refueling and
strategic airlift missions. The aircraft provides the ability
to refuel joint and coalition aircraft by both boom and drogue
systems in the same sortie; improved cargo, passenger and
aeromedical evacuation capabilities; and enhanced survivability
with multiple layers of protection enabling it to operate
safely in a broader range of threat environments than legacy
tankers.
(7) The Government Accountability Office has stated: ``The
KC-46 program's total acquisition cost estimate remained stable
over the past year at $44,400,000,000, which is about
$7,300,000,000 less than the original estimate.''
(8) The Commander of Air Mobility Command has stated that
the KC-46 ``will bring tremendous capability to our joint
warfighter''.
(9) The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for
Acquisition has stated: ``Stability of requirements and funding
are the keys to KC-46 program success and will enable the Air
Force to deliver this new tanker ready for employment on day
one.''
(10) The Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the
Air Force for Acquisition has identified the KC-46 as the Air
Force's second highest combat aviation acquisition priority
``for the role that it plays in being able to power project''.
(11) With the support of Congress, the Air Force has
executed three low rate initial production contracts for a
total of 34 aircraft. In fiscal year 2018, Congress provided
funding for a fourth production lot totaling 18 aircraft.
(12) A steady production rate of 1.3 aircraft per month has
been maintained through independent investment by industry in
order to expedite deliveries to the Air Force upon completion
of developmental testing and certification.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Air Force and industry should dedicate the
resources and manpower necessary to ensure the first KC-46 is
delivered in fiscal year 2018;
(2) the Air Force should maximize efficiency in the test
and certification process to ensure that--
(A) test points are not redundant;
(B) test plans are approved expeditiously;
(C) receiver aircraft are available to support test
flights; and
(D) Air Force inputs necessary for Federal Aviation
Administration and military airworthiness
certifications are expedited; and
(3) the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for
Acquisition and the Director of the Defense Contract Management
Agency should develop and implement a plan enabling the Air
Force to accept and field KC-46 aircraft at a rate higher than
three aircraft per month after the delivery of the first
aircraft.
SEC. 148. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CONVERSION OF F-22 AIRCRAFT.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Accelerating the modernization upgrade of F-22A Block
20 training and test aircraft would significantly increase the
total available inventory of combat-capable F-22A Block 35
fighter aircraft.
(2) Converting 34 F-22A Block 20 aircraft to a Block 35
configuration would drastically improve the readiness and
health of the entire F-22A fleet and increase flexibility to
manage availability of the combat-coded Block 35 fleet, which
is accumulating more operational flight hours than initially
anticipated.
(3) Making the conversions described in paragraph (2) would
be a cost-effective way to increase the F-22's combat-capable
force by 27 percent.
(4) If the conversion effort is not included in future base
budgets, it would be advisable for the Department of Defense to
support the effort as an unfunded priority.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of the Air Force should accelerate modernization of the F-22
Block 20 training and test aircraft as quickly as possible.

SEC. 333. SURFACE WARFARE TRAINING IMPROVEMENT.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 2017, there were three collisions and one grounding
involving United States Navy ships in the Western Pacific. The
two most recent mishaps involved separate incidents of a Japan-
based United States Navy destroyer colliding with a commercial
merchant vessel, resulting in the combined loss of 17 sailors.
(2) The causal factors in these four mishaps are linked
directly to a failure to take sufficient action in accordance
with the rules of good seamanship.
(3) Because risks are high in the maritime environment,
there are widely accepted standards for safe seamanship and
navigation. In the United States, the International Convention
on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping
(hereinafter in this section referred to as the ``STCW'') for
Seafarers, standardizes the skills and foundational knowledge a
maritime professional must have in seamanship and navigation.
(4) Section 568 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2139)
endorsed the STCW process and required the Secretary of Defense
to maximize the extent to which Armed Forces service, training,
and qualifications are creditable toward meeting merchant
mariner licenses and certifications.
(5) The Surface Warfare Officer Course Curriculum is being
modified to include ten individual Go/No Go Mariner
Assessments/Competency Check Milestones to ensure
standardization and quality of the surface warfare community.
(6) The Military-to-Mariner Transition report of September
2017 notes the Army maintains an extensive STCW qualifications
program and that a similar Navy program does not exist.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of the Navy should establish a
comprehensive individual proficiency assessment process and
include such an assessment prior to all operational surface
warfare officer tour assignments; and
(2) the Secretary of the Navy should significantly expand
the STCW qualifications process to improve seamanship and
navigation individual skills training for surface warfare
candidates, surface warfare officers, quartermasters and
operations specialists to include an increased set of courses
that directly correspond to STCW standards.
(c) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2019, the Secretary of the
Navy shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report that
includes each of the following:
(1) A detailed description of the surface warfare officer
assessments process.
(2) A list of programs that have been approved for credit
toward merchant mariner credentials.
(3) A complete gap analysis of the existing surface warfare
training curriculum and STCW.
(4) A complete gap analysis of the existing surface warfare
training curriculum and the 3rd mate unlimited licensing
requirement.

veterans.

diluting the benefit for members of the Armed Forces.

awarded to members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded or

SEC. 880. DEFENDING UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In its 2011 ``Annual Report to Congress on Military and
Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of
China'', the Department of Defense stated that, ``China's
defense industry has benefitted from integration with a rapidly
expanding civilian economy and science and technology sector,
particularly elements that have access to foreign technology.
Progress within individual defense sectors appears linked to
the relative integration of each, through China's civilian
economy, into the global production and R&D chain . . .
Information technology companies in particular, including
Huawei, Datang, and Zhongxing, maintain close ties to the
PLA.''.
(2) In a 2011 report titled ``The National Security
Implications of Investments and Products from the People's
Republic of China in the Telecommunications Sector'', the
United States China Commission stated that ``[n]ational
security concerns have accompanied the dramatic growth of
China's telecom sector. . . . Additionally, large Chinese
companies--particularly those `national champions' prominent in
China's `going out' strategy of overseas expansion--are
directly subject to direction by the Chinese Communist Party,
to include support for PRC state policies and goals.''.
(3) The Commission further stated in its report that
``[f]rom this point of view, the clear economic benefits of
foreign investment in the U.S. must be weighed against the
potential security concerns related to infrastructure
components coming under the control of foreign entities. This
seems particularly applicable in the telecommunications
industry, as Chinese companies continue systematically to
acquire significant holdings in prominent global and U.S.
telecommunications and information technology companies.''.
(4) In its 2011 Annual Report to Congress, the United
States China Commission stated that ``[t]he extent of the
state's control of the Chinese economy is difficult to quantify
. . . There is also a category of companies that, though
claiming to be private, are subject to state influence. Such
companies are often in new markets with no established SOE
leaders and enjoy favorable government policies that support
their development while posing obstacles to foreign
competition. Examples include Chinese telecoms giant Huawei and
such automotive companies as battery maker BYD and vehicle
manufacturers Geely and Chery.''.
(5) General Michael Hayden, who served as Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency and Director of the National
Security Agency, stated in July 2013 that Huawei had ``shared
with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of
foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with.''.
(6) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a February 2015
Counterintelligence Strategy Partnership Intelligence Note
stated that, ``[w]ith the expanded use of Huawei Technologies
Inc. equipment and services in U.S. telecommunications service
provider networks, the Chinese Government's potential access to
U.S. business communications is dramatically increasing.
Chinese Government-supported telecommunications equipment on
U.S. networks may be exploited through Chinese cyber activity,
with China's intelligence services operating as an advanced
persistent threat to U.S. networks.''.
(7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation further stated in
its February 2015 counterintelligence note that, ``China makes
no secret that its cyber warfare strategy is predicated on
controlling global communications network infrastructure.''.
(8) At a hearing before the Committee on Armed Services of
the House of Representatives on September 30, 2015, Deputy
Secretary of Defense Robert Work, responding to a question
about the use of Huawei telecommunications equipment, stated,
``In the Office of the Secretary of Defense, absolutely not.
And I know of no other--I don't believe we operate in the
Pentagon, any [Huawei] systems in the Pentagon.''.
(9) At such hearing, the Commander of the United States
Cyber Command, Admiral Mike Rogers, responding to a question
about why such Huawei telecommunications equipment is not used,
stated, ``as we look at supply chain and we look at potential
vulnerabilities within the system, that it is a risk we felt
was unacceptable.''.
(10) In March 2017, ZTE Corporation pled guilty to
conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act by illegally shipping United States-origin items to
Iran, paying the United States Government a penalty of
$892,360,064 dollars for activity between January 2010 and
January 2016.
(11) The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets
Control issued a subpoena to Huawei as part of a Federal
investigation of alleged violations of trade restrictions on
Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria.
(12) In the bipartisan Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence of the House of Representatives ``Investigative
Report on the United States National Security Issues Posed by
Chinese Telecommunication Companies Huawei and ZTE'' released
in 2012, it was recommended that ``U.S. government systems,
particularly sensitive systems, should not include Huawei or
ZTE equipment, including in component parts. Similarly,
government contractors--particularly those working on contracts
for sensitive U.S. programs--should exclude ZTE or Huawei
equipment in their systems.''.
(13) Christopher Wray, who serves as Director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, stated in February 2018 during
a hearing of the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate
that he was ``deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any
company or entity that is beholden to foreign governments that
don't share our values to gain positions of power inside our
telecommunications networks. That provides the capacity to
exert pressure or control over our telecommunications
infrastructure. It provides the capacity to maliciously modify
or steal information. And it provides the capacity to conduct
undetected espionage.'' Admiral Mike Rogers, who served as
Director of the National Security Agency, agreed with Director
Wray's characterization, and added that Government programs
need ``to look long and hard at companies like this''.
(14) Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Federal
Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, Director of
the Defense Intelligence Agency General Robert Ashley, Director
of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Robert Cardillo,
Director of the National Security Agency Admiral Michael
Rogers, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael
Pompeo all indicated by show of hands in February 2018 at a
hearing of the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate
that they would not ``use products or services from Huawei or
ZTE''.
(15) General Paul Nakasone, who served as the Commanding
General of United States Army Cyber Command, stated during his
confirmation hearing to be National Security Agency director in
March 2018 before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the
Senate that he ``would not'' use any Huawei, China Unicom, or
China Telecom products nor would he recommend his family do so.

(1) an executive agency is able to comprehensively and
clearly describe the minimum requirements expressed in terms of
performance objectives, measures, and standards that will be
used to determine acceptability of offers;
(2) the executive agency would realize no, or minimal,
value from a contract proposal exceeding the minimum technical
or performance requirements set forth in the request for
proposal;
(3) the proposed technical approaches will require no, or
minimal, subjective judgment by the source selection authority
as to the desirability of one offeror's proposal versus a
competing proposal;
(4) the source selection authority has a high degree of
confidence that a review of technical proposals of offerors
other than the lowest bidder would not result in the
identification of factors that could provide value or benefit
to the executive agency;

for the use of a lowest price technically acceptable evaluation
methodology in the contract file; and

materially injured the iron ore and steel industries in the
United States, putting our national, economic, and energy
security at risk.
(2) High-quality American steel products are vital to the
success of the United States military and are used in a variety
of applications from aircraft carriers to armor plate for tanks
as well as critical energy infrastructure like the electrical
grid and energy pipelines.
(3) Domestic producers of defense-related steel products
are dependent on the overall financial health of the iron ore
and steel industries in the United States.
(4) The loss of a strong domestic iron ore and steel
industry would make the United States dangerously dependent
upon foreign sources of steel, such as China.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that a strong
domestic iron ore and steel industry is vital to the national security
of the United States.

Month each November to recognize and honor the history and
achievements of Native Americans.
(2) American Indian and Alaska Natives serve in all
branches of the Armed Forces, attend all service academies, and
defend our country with valiance, pride, and honor.
(3) More than 30,000 active duty, reserve, and National
Guard members of the Armed Forces identify as Native American.
(4) American Indian and Alaska Natives have served and
continue to serve in the highest proportions to population than
any other ethnic group.
(5) American Indian and Alaska Natives have served in every
war, from the Revolutionary War to current overseas conflicts.
(6) Native American veterans are Congressional Medal of
Honor, Congressional Gold and Silver Medals, Purple Heart, and
Bronze Star Medal recipients.
(7) American Indian and Alaska Native women serve in Armed
Forces in higher proportions than any other ethnic group.
(8) Native American Code Talkers and their languages proved
an invaluable asset during World Wars I and II.
(9) Ira Hayes, Akimel O'odham (Pima) helped to raise the
American flag on Iwo Jima;
(10) Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow, Apsaalooke (Crow), served in
WWII and became a war chief.
(11) Numerous present and past military aircraft,
helicopters, and munitions programs bear the names of Native
American tribes and tribal leaders to honor their legacy of
martial prowess, including the Apache, Kiowa, Black Hawk,
Lakota, Chinook, Huron, Iroquois, Comanche, Cayuse, Chickasaw,
Ute, Gray Eagle, Mescalero, Tomahawk, and more.
(12) Native American tribes commonly take part in
ceremonies alongside military units to bless new aircraft and
mark successful inception of new fleets.
(13) More than 140,000 veterans across the United States
identify as Native American.
(14) Each November, the Department of Defense honors the
unique and special relationship with tribal communities during

the military of the United States; and

Alaska Native members of the Armed Forces and veterans with
regard to representation in senior military leadership
positions, improving access to culturally competent resources
and services, and supporting families and tribal communities.
SEC. 1083. AMATEUR RADIO PARITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) More than 730,000 radio amateurs in the United States
are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission in the
amateur radio services.
(2) Amateur radio, at no cost to taxpayers, provides a
fertile ground for technical self-training in modern
telecommunications, electronics technology, and emergency
communications techniques and protocols.
(3) There is a strong Federal interest in the effective
performance of amateur stations established at the residences
of licensees. Such stations have been shown to be frequently
and increasingly precluded by unreasonable private land use
restrictions, including restrictive covenants.
(4) Federal Communications Commission regulations have for
three decades prohibited the application to stations in the
amateur service of State and local regulations that preclude or
fail to reasonably accommodate amateur service communications,
or that do not constitute the minimum practicable regulation to
accomplish a legitimate State or local purpose. Commission
policy has been and is to require States and localities to
permit erection of a station antenna structure at heights and
dimensions sufficient to accommodate amateur service
communications.
(5) The Commission has sought guidance and direction from
Congress with respect to the application of the Commission's
limited preemption policy regarding amateur service
communications to private land use restrictions, including
restrictive covenants.
(6) There are aesthetic and common property considerations
that are uniquely applicable to private land use regulations
and the community associations obligated to enforce covenants,
conditions, and restrictions in deed-restricted communities.
These considerations are dissimilar to those applicable to
State law and local ordinances regulating the same residential
amateur radio facilities.
(7) In recognition of these considerations, a separate
Federal policy than exists at section 97.15(b) of title 47,
Code of Federal Regulations, is warranted concerning amateur
service communications in deed-restricted communities.
(8) Community associations should fairly administer private
land use regulations in the interest of their communities,
while nevertheless permitting the installation and maintenance
of effective outdoor amateur radio antennas. There exist
antenna designs and installations that can be consistent with
the aesthetics and physical characteristics of land and
structures in community associations while accommodating
communications in the amateur radio services.
(b) Application of Private Land Use Restrictions to Amateur
Stations.--
(1) Amendment of fcc rules.--Not later than 120 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal
Communications Commission shall amend section 97.15 of title
47, Code of Federal Regulations, by adding a new paragraph that
prohibits the application to amateur stations of any private
land use restriction, including a restrictive covenant, that--
(A) on its face or as applied, precludes
communications in an amateur radio service;
(B) fails to permit a licensee in an amateur radio

country of the United States acceptance of international

resources and security environment of such country, including,

SEC. 1215. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO DR. SHAKIL AFRIDI.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The attacks of September 11, 2001, killed approximately
3,000 people, most of whom were Americans, but also included
hundreds of individuals with foreign citizenships, nearly 350
New York Fire Department personnel, and about 50 law
enforcement officers.
(2) Downed United Airlines flight 93 was reportedly
intended, under the control of the al-Qaeda high-jackers, to
crash into the White House or the Capitol in an attempt to kill
the President of the United States or Members of the United
States Congress.
(3) The September 11, 2001, attacks were largely planned
and carried out by the al-Qaeda terrorist network led by Osama
bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahiri, after which Osama
bin Laden enjoyed safe haven in Pakistan from where he
continued to plot deadly attacks against the United States and
the world.
(4) Since 2001, the United States has provided more than
$30 billion in security and economic aid to Pakistan.
(5) The United States very generously and swiftly responded
to the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake in Pakistan with more than $200
million in emergency aid and the support of several United
States military aircraft, approximately 1,000 United States
military personnel, including medical specialists, thousands of
tents, blankets, water containers and a variety of other
emergency equipment.
(6) The United States again generously and swiftly
contributed approximately $150 million in emergency aid to
Pakistan following the 2010 Pakistan flood, in addition to the
service of nearly twenty United States military helicopters,
their flight crews, and other resources to assist the Pakistan
Army's relief efforts.
(7) The United States continues to work tirelessly to
support Pakistan's economic development, including millions of
dollars allocated towards the development of Pakistan's energy
infrastructure, health services and education system.
(8) The United States and Pakistan continue to have many
critical shared interests, both economic and security related,
which could be the foundation for a positive and mutually
beneficial partnership.
(9) Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician, is a hero to
whom the people of the United States, Pakistan and the world
owe a debt of gratitude for his help in finally locating Osama
bin Laden before more innocent American, Pakistani and other
lives were lost to this terrorist leader.
(10) Pakistan, the United States and the international
community had failed for nearly 10 years following attacks of
September 11, 2001, to locate and bring Osama bin Laden, who
continued to kill innocent civilians in the Middle East, Asia,
Europe, Africa and the United States, to justice without the
help of Dr. Afridi.
(11) The Government of Pakistan's imprisonment of Dr.
Afridi presents a serious and growing impediment to the United
States' bilateral relations with Pakistan.
(12) The Government of Pakistan has leveled and allowed
baseless charges against Dr. Afridi in a politically motivated,
spurious legal process.
(13) Dr. Afridi is currently imprisoned by the Government
of Pakistan, a deplorable and unconscionable situation which
calls into question Pakistan's actual commitment to countering
terrorism and undermines the notion that Pakistan is a true
ally in the struggle against terrorism.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Dr. Shakil
Afridi is an international hero and that the Government of Pakistan
should release him immediately from prison.

BREACH OF THE INF TREATY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) James Mattis, Secretary of Defense, testified before
the House Armed Services Committee on March 22, 2018, that ``we
have very modest expectations that they [Russia] would return
to [INF] compliance. As a result, in the Nuclear Posture
Review, we are looking for a way, at the lowest possible cost,
to checkmate them and make it in their best interest to return
to compliance.''.
(2) The Honorable Daniel Coats, Director of National
Intelligence, testified before the Senate Armed Services
Committee on March 6, 2018, that the Russian Federation is
violating the INF Treaty because ``Moscow probably believes
that the new GLCM provides sufficient advantages that make it
worth the risk of violating the INF Treaty.''.
(3) General Hyten, Commander of the United States Strategic
Command, also testified before the Senate Armed Services
Committee on March 20, 2018, about potential strategic
advantages for China stemming from their lack of participation
in the INF Treaty by saying that ``they do not have any
limitations in the INF [Treaty], and they have built
significant numbers of intermediate-range ballistic missiles
that if they were in the INF [Treaty], they would be contrary
to the treaty''.
(4) General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, testified before the House Armed Services Committee on
April 12, 2018, that ``we're not only looking for operational
concepts and ways to deal with the Russian violation, but we're
also at least posturing ourselves to develop weapons should
they be required''. Secretary of Defense Mattis also stated in

Department by movement on arms control and nonproliferation.
There are two thrusts to our nuclear strategy. . .and that's
why those funds have been requested.''.

the INF Treaty, the United States is legally entitled to
suspend the operation of the INF Treaty in whole or in part for
so long as the Russian Federation continues to be in material

SEC. 1237. EXTENSION OF LIMITATION ON MILITARY COOPERATION BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
Section 1232(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2488), as amended by
section 1231 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2018 (Public Law 115-91), is further amended by striking ``or 2018''
and inserting ``, 2018, or 2019''.
SEC. 1238. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING RUSSIA'S VIOLATIONS OF THE
CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States ratified the Convention on the
Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use
of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction, known as the
``Chemical Weapons Convention'', on April 24, 1997.
(2) The Russian Federation ratified the Chemical Weapons
Convention on November 5, 1997.
(3) Article 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention requires
all signatories to ``never under any circumstances * * * use
chemical weapons''.
(4) Russia's stock of chemical weapons has been implicated
in the assassination or injuries of the following individuals:
(A) Sergei Skripal, Yulia Skripal, and Wiltshire
Police Detective Sergeant Nicholas Bailey, poisoned
using the nerve agent ``novichok'' in Salisbury,
England, in March 2018.
(B) Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned using polonium,
in London, England, in November 2006, about whose death
a January 2016 inquest ordered by the British
Parliament concluded ``the FSB operation to kill Mr
Litvinenko was probably approved by Mr Patrushev [then-
director of the FSB] and also by President Putin''.
(5) Russia has also demonstrated its disregard for the
obligations imposed by the Chemical Weapons Convention by--
(A) continuing to provide military and diplomatic
support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has
used chemical weapons including chlorine gas and sarin
against Syrian citizens;
(B) actively working to hinder the efforts of
inspectors of the Organization for the Prohibition of
Chemical Weapons in Syria; and
(C) consistently using its veto power at the United
Nations Security Council to prevent effective
international action against Assad for such activities.
(6) The Condition 10(C) Report on Compliance with the
Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production,
Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their
Destruction published by the Department of State in March 2018
asserts that ``Based on available information, the United
States cannot certify that Russia has met its obligations under
the Chemical Weapons Convention for declaration of its: (1)
[chemical weapons production facilities]; (2) [chemical
weapons] development facilities; and (3) [chemical weapons]
stockpiles. In fact, due to Russia's March 4, 2018, use of a
military-grade nerve agent to attack two individuals in the
United Kingdom, the United States certifies that the Russian
Federation is in non-compliance with its obligations under the
[Chemical Weapons Convention].''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Russia's actions constitute violations of Russia's obligations under
the Chemical Weapons Convention.
SEC. 1239. UNITED STATES ACTIONS REGARDING MATERIAL BREACH OF INF
TREATY BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
(a) United States Actions.--If the President does not certify to
the appropriate congressional committees that the Russian Federation
has returned to full and verifiable compliance with the INF Treaty
within one year of the date of the enactment of this Act, the
prohibitions set forth in Article VI of the INF Treaty shall no longer

(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term
``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
(A) the congressional defense committees; and

House of Representatives.
(2) INF treaty.--The term ``INF Treaty'' means the Treaty
Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their Intermediate-
Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, commonly referred to as the
``Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty'', signed at
Washington December 8, 1987, and entered into force June 1,
1988.
SEC. 1240. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS TO EXTEND THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW START TREATY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The New START Treaty provides that, ``[w]hen a Party
believes that a new kind of strategic offensive arm is
emerging, that Party shall have the right to raise the question
of such a strategic offensive arm for consideration in the
Bilateral Consultative Commission''.
(2) Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin stated in a
March 1, 2018, public speech that--
(A) ``I will speak about the newest systems of
Russian strategic weapons that we are creating * * * we
have embarked on the development of the next generation
of missiles.'';
(B) ``We started to develop new types of strategic
arms that do not use ballistic trajectories at all when
moving toward a target.'';
(C) ``One of them is a small-scale heavy-duty
nuclear energy unit that can be installed in a missile
like our latest X-101 air-launched missile * * * In
late 2017, Russia successfully launched its latest
nuclear-powered missile at the central training ground.
During its flight, the nuclear-powered engine reached
its design capacity and provided the necessary
propulsion.'';
(D) ``[i]n December 2017, an innovative nuclear
power unit for this unmanned underwater vehicle
completed a test cycle that lasted many years * * *
[t]he tests that were conducted enabled us to begin
developing a new type of strategic weapon that would
carry massive nuclear ordnance'';
(E) ``[b]y the way, we have yet to choose names for
these two new strategic weapons, the global range
cruise missile and the unmanned underwater vehicle. We
are waiting for suggestions from the Defence
Ministry'';
(F) ``A real technological breakthrough is the
development of a strategic missile system with
fundamentally new combat equipment--a gliding wing
unit, which has also been successfully tested * * *
[w]e called it the Avangard''; and
(G) ``I want to specifically emphasise that the
newly developed strategic arms--in fact, new types of
strategic weapons--are not the result of something left
over from the Soviet Union. Of course, we relied on
some ideas from our ingenious predecessors. But
everything I have described today is the result of the
last several years, the product of dozens of research
organisations, design bureaus and institute.''.
(3) During the House Armed Services Committee hearing on
April 12, 2018, Secretary of Defense James Mattis was asked
whether Russia should honor the terms of the treaty and limit
its new strategic offensive arms under the New START Treaty as
it requires and he stated ``Sir, I believe they should.''.
(b) Limitation.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or
otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019 for the Department of
Defense may be obligated or expended to extend the implementation of
the New START Treaty unless and until the President--

weapons system known by ``Avanguard'' or otherwise
identified.

SEC. 1241. REPORT ON KREMLIN-LINKED CORRUPTION.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the intelligence community should dedicate resources to
further expose key networks which the corrupt political class
in Russia uses to hide the money it steals; and
(2) the President should pursue efforts to stifle Russian
use of hidden financial channels, including anonymous shell
companies and real estate investments, in a manner similar to
the efforts undertaken to tighten banking regulations after the
terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
(b) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment

intermediaries, used by senior officials of the Russian
Government to hide assets from public disclosure.
(c) Form.--The report required under subsection (b) shall be
submitted in classified form.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has a national strategic interest in
ensuring that the United States maintains political,
diplomatic, economic, military, and technological advantages
over competitive adversaries.
(2) The 2018 National Defense Strategy states that ``the
central challenge to the U.S. prosperity and security is the
reemergence of long-term, strategic competition by what the
National Security Strategy classifies as revisionist powers. It
is increasingly clear that China and Russia want to shape a
world consistent with their authoritarian model--gaining veto
authority over other nations' economic, diplomatic, and
security decisions''.
(3) The 2018 National Defense Strategy further states that
``China is leveraging military modernization, influence
operations, and predatory economics to coerce neighboring
countries to reorder the Indo-Pacific region to their
advantage. As China continues its economic and military
ascendance, asserting power through an all-of-nation long term
strategy, it will continue to pursue a military modernization
program that seeks Indo-Pacific regional hegemony in the near-
term and displacement of the United States to achieve global
preeminence in the future''.

leading experts have emphasized that the United States requires
a whole-of-government response, across the full spectrum of
capabilities, to address the challenges posed by China.

strategic competition with China is a principal priority for the United
States that requires the integration of multiple elements of national
power, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, law enforcement,

President shall submit to the appropriate congressional
committees a report containing a whole-of-government strategy

paragraph (1) shall include the following:
(A) Strategic assessments of and planned responses

propaganda to undermine democratic institutions
and processes, and the freedoms of speech,
expression, press, and academic thought.
(ii) The use of intelligence networks to
exploit open research and development.
(iii) The use of economic tools, including
market access and investment to gain access to
sensitive United States industries.
(iv) Malicious cyber activities.
(v) The use of investment, infrastructure,
and development projects, such as China's Belt
and Road Initiative, in Africa, Europe, Central
Asia, South America, and the Indo-Pacific
region, and the Polar Silk Road in the Arctic,
as a means to gain access and influence.
(vi) The use of military activities,
capabilities, and defense installations, and
hybrid warfare methods, short of traditional
armed conflict, against the United States or
its allies and partners.
(vii) The abuse of employment and student
visa programs to enter the United States in
order to conduct political, academic, or social
influence efforts, or for the purposes of
establishing Chinese Communist Party cells or
other entities under the control or
coordination of the Chinese Communist Party.
(viii) The Chinese Communist Party's
coercion or intimidation of Chinese nationals
studying or working in the United States or
outside China.

strategic communication to counter Chinese influence
and promote United States interests.

resources necessary to implement the strategy.

(NATO).

Organization (NATO) was founded with the ideals of democracy,
individual liberty, and the desire for peaceful resolutions of
disputes.
(2) For over six decades, NATO has been a successful
intergovernmental political and military alliance.
(3) NATO's collective defense acts as a deterrent to
aggression where the alliance defends its Allied countries
against external security threats.
(4) NATO strengthens the security of the United States by
utilizing an integrated military coalition.
(5) While Russia has continued to threaten the sovereignty
of countries in Europe and exhibit threatening behavior toward
our own military assets, NATO sends a clear collective message
that the Alliance will not tolerate Russia's provocation.
(6) In respect to the changing threats against Europe and
the United States since the end of the Cold War, NATO has
evolved to take on new dangers including terrorism, the spread
of weapons of mass destruction, and cyber attacks.
(7) After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the
United States, NATO invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic
Treaty for the first time in NATO's history to deploy military
resources to Afghanistan in support of the United States
mission to combat a dangerous terrorist threat.
(8) NATO aided the United States military by leading the
International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan from
August 2003 to 2014, working with Afghan authorities to respond
to the terrorist insurgency and to provide effective security
across the country.
(9) NATO continues a civilian-led presence in Afghanistan
to strengthen Afghan security forces and institutions to ensure
the country can rebuild its security operations and end safe
haven for terrorists.

adopted a Prague package to adapt NATO to the challenge of
combating terrorism which included a Military Concept for
Defense against Terrorism, a Partnership Action Plan against
Terrorism, missile defense, cyber defense, and enhanced
intelligence sharing.
(11) In November 2006 at the Riga Summit, NATO declared
that ``terrorism, increasingly global in scope and lethal in
results, and the spread of weapons of mass destruction are
likely to be the principal threats to the Alliance over the
next 10 to 15 years''.
(12) In July 2016 at the Warsaw Summit, NATO leaders agreed
to strengthen the Alliance's military presence in Eastern
Europe, declared Initial Operational Capability of NATO's
Ballistic Missile Defense to strengthen the defense of Allied
countries against ballistic missiles, and recognized cyberspace
as a new operational domain.
(13) The attacks in Paris, France; Berlin, Germany;
Istanbul, Turkey; Manchester, England; Barcelona, Spain; and
Brussels, Belgium, home of the NATO Headquarters, shows the
importance of an international alliance to combat terrorist
groups.

SEC. 1608. DESIGNATION OF COMPONENT OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
RESPONSIBLE FOR COORDINATION OF HOSTED PAYLOAD
INFORMATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Using commercially hosted payloads is an option for the
Department of Defense that should be considered in analyses of
alternatives, as it could increase cost savings, speed up
capability to orbit, and contribute to resilience through the
use of disaggregated space systems by the Department.
(2) The use by the Department of commercially hosted
payloads has been limited so far, using commercial satellites
to host three experimental payloads to date, though the use of
hosted payloads could expand in the future.
(3) The Department does not have the knowledge the
Department needs to determine if commercially hosted payloads
are an acquisition approach worth pursuing.
(4) The Department faces challenges in matching payloads to
commercial hosts, due to numerous logistical challenges to
matching payloads to hosts, including coordinating the size,
weight and power of the payload with the commercial host, and
aligning acquisition and funding timelines between government
and commercial programs.
(5) The Comptroller General of the United States in
preliminary findings concluded that the space acquisition
culture of the Department lacks sufficient knowledge, such as
costs, technical parameters, and lessons learned, to determine
the benefits and address the challenges of using commercially
hosted payloads and that the existing knowledge is fragmented
across the Department without any plans to consolidate it.
(6) Programs are not required to report data on
commercially hosted payloads to any centralized office or
database, and leveraging cost and technical data from hosted
payload efforts could inform future interested programs and
avoid duplication of efforts, but currently no such
comprehensive data source exists.

striking ``2019'' and inserting ``2022''.
SEC. 1649. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NUCLEAR POSTURE OF THE UNITED STATES.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) for more than 70 years, the nuclear deterrent of the
United States has played a central role in the national
security of the United States and international stability;
(2) the nuclear forces of the United States have and will
continue to play a fundamental role in deterring aggression
against the interests of the United States and the allies of
the United States in an increasingly dangerous world;
(3) strong, credible, and flexible nuclear forces of the
United States assure the allies of the United States that the
extended deterrence guarantees of the United States are
credible and that the resolve of the United States remains
strong even in the face of nuclear provocations, including
nuclear coercion and blackmail;
(4) the 2017 National Security Strategy and the 2018
National Defense Strategy correctly assess that, due to
increased global disorder and complexity, the decline of the
international rules-based order and security environment, and
the erosion of the competitive advantages of the United States,
interstate strategic competition must now be the primary focus
of the national security strategy of the United States;
(5) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review aligns with these
conclusions, and recognizes that deterrence is dynamic, not
static, and that while the nuclear posture and policies of the
United States are underpinned by enduring consistency, such
posture and policies must also undergo measured adjustments to
remain credible as threats evolve;
(6) the Russian Federation has elevated the role of nuclear
weapons in its strategies, is developing and deploying new
nuclear capabilities (including a recently announced nuclear-
powered cruise missile and high-speed, nuclear-powered
underwater drone), is violating many arms control agreements
(including the INF Treaty), and has made explicit nuclear
threats against the United States and the allies of the United
States;
(7) the United States remains committed to its full range
of nuclear arms control and nonproliferation obligations and
seeks continued engagement for prudent and verifiable
agreements, however, the policies and actions of the United
States must also hold states that violate arms control treaties
accountable for such violations and take such violations into
account when considering further arms control agreements;
(8) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) plays an
essential role in the national security of the United States
and NATO should continue to strengthen and align its nuclear
and conventional deterrence posture, planning, and exercises to
align with modern threats, including modernizing its dual-
capable aircraft, command and control networks, nuclear-related
facilities, and conventional capabilities;
(9) to deter large-scale, catastrophic war with Russia, the
People's Republic of China, and other potential adversaries, as
well as reassure allies, the United States requires reliable,
diverse, and tailorable nuclear forces that are able to respond
to a variety of current threats while preparing for future
uncertainty;
(10) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review reconfirms the value
of the nuclear triad and dual-capable aircraft of the United
States, directs the continuation of the comprehensive nuclear
modernization program initiated by the previous administration,
and proposes two supplemental capabilities (a lower-yield
submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead and a sea-launched
cruise missile) that will strengthen deterrence and assurance
and reduce the chances that nuclear weapons are used in
conflict;
(11) three successive Secretaries of Defense across two
administrations have stated that nuclear deterrence is the
highest priority mission of the Department of Defense; and
(12) in light of this prioritization, the age of the
current nuclear forces and infrastructure of the United States,
and the small percentage of the defense budget that will be
expended on the recapitalization of the nuclear deterrent of
the United States, the modernization of the nuclear forces,
command and control systems, and supporting infrastructure of
the United States is affordable and a national imperative.
SEC. 1650. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EXTENDED NUCLEAR DETERRENCE IN THE
INDO-PACIFIC REGION.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the nuclear program of the Democratic People's Republic
of Korea poses a critical national security threat not only to
the United States, but to the security and stability of the
entire Indo-Pacific region, including South Korea, Japan, and
Australia;
(2) the nuclear and conventional forces of the United
States continue to play a fundamental role in deterring
aggression against its interests and the interests of its
allies in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond;
(3) the United States stands unwaveringly behind its treaty
obligations and assurances, including those related to defense
and extended nuclear deterrence, to South Korea, Japan, and
Australia;
(4) the complete, verifiable, and irreversible
denuclearization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
remains a central foreign policy objective of the United
States;
(5) the status of any denuclearization or end-of-conflict
agreement with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea should
not supersede such treaty obligations and assurances described
in paragraph (3); and
(6) the presence of United States Forces on the Korean
Peninsula should remain strong and enduring.
Subtitle E--Missile Defense Programs

SEC. 2826. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING LAND CONVEYANCE, MOUNTAIN VIEW,
CALIFORNIA.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
(1) The Secretary of the Army is proposing to convey 17.1
acres of real property in Mountain View, California, known as
Shenandoah Square and the existing 126 housing units on such
property in order to raise capital to improve other military
housing owned by private entities, despite significant military
demand for affordable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area
from personnel spanning across the Air Force, Army, Marine
Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard.
(2) Under the proposed conveyance, the existing 126 housing
units at Shenandoah Square would be demolished to allow for the
construction of high-density residential housing.
(3) Shenandoah Square is one of only 3 military housing
complexes in the San Francisco Bay Area and is home to many
California National Guard personnel serving in the 129th Rescue
Wing at Moffett Federal Air Field and civilians who perform
mission critical work for the 129th Rescue Wing.
(4) The San Francisco Bay Area is confronting one of the
most severe affordable housing crises in the United States,
which has led to a recruitment and retention crisis for the
129th Rescue Wing.
(5) The residents of these units have expressed concern
about their displacement from Shenandoah Square, as this
property is located in one of the most expensive housing
markets in the country, Silicon Valley, and there is great
uncertainty about the affordability of new potential housing on
the site.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of the Army should explore all possible alternatives to a
conveyance of Shenandoah Square, including subleasing the property to
an entity that can better develop affordable housing on the property.

DIVISION E--NATIONAL STRATEGIC AND CRITICAL MINERALS PRODUCTION
SEC. 5001. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) in agreement with Executive Order No. 13806, a healthy
manufacturing and defense industrial base and resilient supply
chains are essential to the economic strength and national
security of the United States. Modern supply chains, however
are often long and the ability of the United States to
manufacture or obtain goods critical to national security could
be hampered by an inability to obtain various essential
components, which themselves may not be directly related to
national security;
(2) in agreement with Executive Order No. 13817, the United
States is heavily reliant on imports of certain mineral
commodities that are vital to the Nation's security and
economic prosperity;
(3) this dependency of the United States on foreign sources
creates a strategic vulnerability for both its economy and
military to adverse foreign government actons, natural
disaster, and other events that can disrupt supply of these key
minerals. Increased private-sector domestic exploration,
production, recycling, and reprocessing of critical minerals,
and support for efforts to identify more commonly available
technological alternatives to these minerals, will reduce our
dependence on imports, preserve our leadership in technological
innovation, support job creation, improve national security and
balance of trade, and enhance the technological superiority and
readiness of our Armed Forces, which are among the Nation's
most significant consumers of critical minerals;
(4) the industrialization of developing nations has driven
demand for nonfuel minerals necessary for telecommunications,
military technologies, healthcare technologies, and
conventional and renewable energy technologies;
(5) the availability of minerals and mineral materials are
essential for economic growth, national security, technological
innovation, and the manufacturing and agricultural supply
chain;
(6) minerals and mineral materials are critical components
of every transportation, water, telecommunications, and energy
infrastructure project necessary to modernize the crumbling
infrastructure of the United States;
(7) the exploration, production, processing, use, and
recycling of minerals contribute significantly to the economic
well-being, security, and general welfare of the United States;
and
(8) the United States has vast mineral resources but is
becoming increasingly dependent on foreign sources of mineral
resources, as demonstrated by the fact that--
(A) 25 years ago, the United States was dependent
on foreign sources for 45 nonfuel mineral materials, of
which--
(i) 8 were imported by the United States to
fulfill 100 percent of the requirements of the
United States for those nonfuel mineral
materials; and
(ii) 19 were imported by the United States
to fulfill greater than 50 percent of the
requirements of the United States for those
nonfuel mineral materials;
(B) by 2015 the import dependence of the United
States for nonfuel mineral materials increased from
dependence on the import of 45 nonfuel mineral
materials to dependence on the import of 47 nonfuel
mineral materials, of which--
(i) 19 were imported by the United States
to fulfill 100 percent of the requirements of
the United States for those nonfuel mineral
materials; and
(ii) 22 were imported by the United States
to fulfill greater than 50 percent of the
requirements of the United States for those
nonfuel mineral materials;
(C) according to the Department of Energy, the
United States imports greater than 50 percent of the 41
metals and minerals key to clean energy applications;
(D) the United States share of worldwide mineral
exploration dollars was 7 percent in 2015, down from 19
percent in the early 1990s;
(E) the 2014 Ranking of Countries for Mining
Investment, which ranks 25 major mining countries,
found that 7- to 10-year permitting delays are the most
significant risk to mining projects in the United
States; and
(F) in late 2016, the Government Accountability
Office found that--
(i) ``the Federal government's approach to
addressing critical materials supply issues has
not been consistent with selected key practices
for interagency collaboration, such as ensuring
that agencies' roles and responsibilities are
clearly defined''; and
(ii) ``the Federal critical materials
approach faces other limitations, including
data limitations and a focus on only a subset
of critical materials, a limited focus on
domestic production of critical materials, and
limited engagement with industry''.
