SEC. 335. REPORT ON EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Secretary of Defense James Mattis has stated:
``It is appropriate for the Combatant Commands to
incorporate drivers of instability that impact the
security environment in their areas into their
planning.''.
(2) Secretary of Defense James Mattis has stated:
``I agree that the effects of a changing climate --
such as increased maritime access to the Arctic, rising
sea levels, desertification, among others -- impact our
security situation.''.
(3) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph
Dunford has stated: ``It's a question, once again, of
being forward deployed, forward engaged, and be in a
position to respond to the kinds of natural disasters
that I think we see as a second or third order effect
of climate change.''.
(4) Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has
stated: ``Over the next 20 years and more, certain
pressures-population, energy, climate, economic,
environmental-could combine with rapid cultural,
social, and technological change to produce new sources
of deprivation, rage, and instability.''.
(5) Former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Gordon
Sullivan has stated: ``Climate change is a national
security issue. We found that climate instability will
lead to instability in geopolitics and impact American
military operations around the world.''.
(6) The Office of the Director of National
Intelligence (ODNI) has stated: ``Many countries will
encounter climate-induced disruptions--such as weather-
related disasters, drought, famine, or damage to
infrastructure--that stress their capacity to respond,
cope with, or adapt. Climate-related impacts will also
contribute to increased migration, which can be
particularly disruptive if, for example, demand for
food and shelter outstrips the resources available to
assist those in need.''.
(7) The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has
stated: ``DOD links changes in precipitation patterns
with potential climate change impacts such as changes
in the number of consecutive days of high or low
precipitation as well as increases in the extent and
duration of droughts, with an associated increase in
the risk of wildfire. . . this may result in mission
vulnerabilities such as reduced live-fire training due
to drought and increased wildfire risk.''.
(8) A three-foot rise in sea levels will threaten
the operations of more than 128 United States military
sites, and it is possible that many of these at-risk
bases could be submerged in the coming years.
(9) As global temperatures rise, droughts and
famines can lead to more failed states, which are
breeding grounds of extremist and terrorist
organizations.
(10) In the Marshall Islands, an Air Force radar
installation built on an atoll at a cost of
$1,000,000,000 is projected to be underwater within two
decades.
(11) In the western United States, drought has
amplified the threat of wildfires, and floods have
damaged roads, runways, and buildings on military
bases.
(12) In the Arctic, the combination of melting sea
ice, thawing permafrost, and sea-level rise is eroding
shorelines, which is damaging radar and communication
installations, runways, seawalls, and training areas.
(13) In the Yukon Training Area, units conducting
artillery training accidentally started a wildfire
despite observing the necessary practices during red
flag warning conditions.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) climate change is a direct threat to the
national security of the United States and is impacting
stability in areas of the world both where the United
States Armed Forces are operating today, and where
strategic implications for future conflict exist;
(2) there are complexities in quantifying the cost
of climate change on mission resiliency, but the
Department of Defense must ensure that it is prepared
to conduct operations both today and in the future and
that it is prepared to address the effects of a
changing climate on threat assessments, resources, and
readiness; and
(3) military installations must be able to
effectively prepare to mitigate climate damage in their
master planning and infrastructure planning and design,
so that they might best consider the weather and
natural resources most pertinent to them.
(c) Report.--
(1) Report required.--Not later than one year after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
a report on vulnerabilities to military installations
and combatant commander requirements resulting from
climate change over the next 20 years.
(2) Elements.--The report on vulnerabilities to
military installations and combatant commander
requirements required by paragraph (1) shall include
the following:
(A) A list of the ten most vulnerable
military installations within each service
based on the effects of rising sea tides,
increased flooding, drought, desertification,
wildfires, thawing permafrost, and any other
categories the Secretary determines necessary.
(B) An overview of mitigations that may be
necessary to ensure the continued operational
viability and to increase the resiliency of the
identified vulnerable military installations
and the cost of such mitigations.
(C) A discussion of the climate-change
related effects on the Department, including
the increase in the frequency of humanitarian
assistance and disaster relief missions and the
theater campaign plans, contingency plans, and
global posture of the combatant commanders.
(D) An overview of mitigations that may be
necessary to ensure mission resiliency and the
cost of such mitigations.
(3) Form.--The report required under paragraph (1)
shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may
contain a classified annex.

SEC. 932. REPORT AND SENSE OF CONGRESS ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR
DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND EVALUATION WITHIN THE OFFICE
OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
(a) Report on Plans to Address Developmental Test and
Evaluation Responsibilities Within the Office of the Secretary
of Defense.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 60 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
a report containing a strategy to ensure that there is
sufficient expertise, oversight, and policy direction
on developmental test and evaluation within the Office
of the Secretary of Defense after the completion of the
reorganization of such Office required under section
901 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2339).
(2) Elements.--The report required by paragraph (1)
shall address the following:
(A) The structure of the roles and
responsibilities of the senior Department of
Defense official responsible for developmental
test and evaluation, as distinct from
operational test and evaluation or systems
engineering.
(B) The location of the senior Department
of Defense official responsible for
developmental test and evaluation within the
organizational structure of the Office of the
Secretary of Defense.
(C) An estimate of personnel and other
resources that should be made available to the
senior Department of Defense official
responsible for developmental test and
evaluation to ensure that such official can
provide independent expertise, oversight, and
policy direction and guidance Department of
Defense-wide.
(D) Methods to ensure that the senior
Department of Defense official responsible for
developmental test and evaluation will be
empowered to facilitate Department of Defense-
wide efficiencies by helping programs to
optimize test designs and activities, including
ensuring access to program data and
participation in acquisition program oversight.
(E) Methods to ensure that an advocate for
test and evaluation workforce will continue to
exist within the acquisition workforce.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) developmental testing is critical to reducing
acquisition program risk by providing valuable
information to support sound decision making;
(2) major defense acquisition programs often do not
conduct enough developmental testing, so too many
problems are first identified during operational
testing, when they are expensive and time-consuming to
fix; and
(3) in order to ensure that effective developmental
testing is conducted on major defense acquisition
programs, the Secretary of Defense should--
(A) carefully consider where the senior
Department of Defense official responsible for
developmental test and evaluation is located
within the organizational structure of the
Office of the Secretary of Defense; and
(B) ensure that such official has
sufficient authority and resources to provide
oversight and policy direction on developmental
test and evaluation Department of Defense-wide.
SEC. 933. REPORT ON OFFICE OF CORROSION POLICY AND OVERSIGHT.
(a) Report Required.--Not later than 90 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives a report--
(1) evaluating the continued need for the Office of
Corrosion Policy and Oversight; and
(2) containing a recommendation regarding whether
to retain or terminate the Office.
(b) Assessment.--As part of the report required by
subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall conduct an
assessment to determine whether there is duplication in matters
relating to corrosion prevention and control and mitigation of
corrosion of the military equipment and infrastructure of the
Department of Defense between the Office of Corrosion Policy
and Oversight and other elements of the Department, including,
in particular, the Corrosion Control and Prevention Executives
of the military departments.
(c) Recommendation.--If the report required by subsection
(a) includes a recommendation to terminate the Office of
Corrosion Policy and Oversight, the Secretary of Defense shall
include recommendations for such additional authorities, if
any, for the military departments and the Armed Forces as the
Secretary considers appropriate to ensure the proper discharge
by the Department of Defense of functions relating to corrosion
prevention and control and mitigation of corrosion in the
absence of the Office.

(1) Naval aviation was born in the United States
when Eugene Ely launched from the deck of a United
States Navy ship on November 14, 1910, in a Curtiss
Model D.
(2) In 1915, Cpt. Henry C. Mustin made the first
catapult launch aboard a ship underway in a Curtiss
Model AB-2, beginning a century of technological
advancements that have led to today's Electromagnetic
Aircraft Launch System.
(3) In 1924, Lt. Dixie Kiefer made the first night
catapult launch in a Vought UO-1 in San Diego harbor.
(4) The first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS
Enterprise (CVN 65), was commissioned in 1961, ushering
in a new era of the world's most dominant and capable
warships.
(5) In 2013, aircraft carrier USS George Washington
(CVN 73) provided humanitarian assistance, medical
supplies, food, and water to the victims in the
Republic of the Philippines of Super Typhoon Haiyan,
once again demonstrating the versatility of aircraft
carriers for combat, diplomatic, and humanitarian
operations.
(6) In 2017, the first of the next generation of
aircraft carriers, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), was
commissioned, marking a continuation of the innovative
naval aviation spirit, technological advancement, and
war fighting capabilities of aircraft carriers.
(7) For over 70 years, aircraft carriers have been
employed in every major and many smaller conflicts,
including World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada,
Lebanon, Libya, Operation Desert Storm, Afghanistan,
Iraq, and the fight against terrorism.
(8) The United States Navy's aircraft carriers are
a cornerstone of the Nation's ability to project its
power and strength.
(9) When aircraft carriers sail the globe they are
a statement of national purpose and a symbol of the
Nation's industrial strength, competitive edge, and
economic prosperity.
(10) Aircraft carriers are 4.5 acres of sovereign
United States territory enabling the Nation to reduce
its dependency on other nations while it pursues its
national security interests.
(11) Aircraft carriers enable the United States
Armed Forces to carry out operations from international
waters, often obviating the need to obtain fly-over
rights and land-base rights from other nations.
(12) Aircraft carriers are modern, mobile United
States military bases complete with airfield, hospital,
and communications systems from which the United States
can strike at its enemies.
(13) Over 90 percent of world trade is moved by
sea, including much of the world's gas and oil supply,
and aircraft carriers patrol vital regions of the world
to keep shipping lanes open and protect the interests
of the United States and its allies.
(14) There are more than 2,450 companies in 48
States and over 364 congressional districts, and more
than 13,100 shipbuilders, who proudly contribute to the
construction and maintenance of these complex and
technologically advanced ships.
(15) Thousands of members of the United States
Armed Forces have served the Nation aboard aircraft
carriers in war, peace, and times of crisis.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) United States aircraft carriers are premier
sea-based power projection platforms and have served
the Nation's interests in times of war and peace,
adapting to the immediate and ever-changing nature of
the world for over 90 years; and
(2) aircraft carrier contributions and heritage
should be celebrated.

SEABEES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

personnel, known as the ``Seabees'', were officially
established by the Navy Department.
(2) The purpose of the Navy Seabees is to build,
maintain, and support base infrastructure in remote
locations for the Navy and Marine Corps, while
simultaneously being capable of engaging in combat
operations.
(3) The Navy Seabees dual-role is exemplified by
the Seabee motto Construimus, Batuimus: We Build, We
Fight.
(4) Throughout their history, the Navy Seabees have
answered the call of duty to protect the United States
and its democratic values both in times of war and
peace.
(5) The Navy Seabees support United States national
security at Navy fleet and combatant commands
worldwide, through the construction, both on land and
underwater, of bases, airfields, roads, bridges, and
other infrastructure.
(6) The Navy Seabees and their families have
demonstrated unmatched courage and dedication to
sacrifice for the United States, from service in World
War II, Korea, and Vietnam to the recent conflicts in
Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
(7) The Navy Seabees exhibit honor, personal
courage, and commitment as they sacrifice their
personal comfort to keep the United States safe from
threats.
(8) The Navy Seabees continue to display strength,
professionalism, and bravery in the all-volunteer
force.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress recognizes the United
States Navy Seabees and the Navy personnel who comprise the
construction force for the Navy and the Marine Corps as
critical elements in deterring conflict, overcoming aggression,
and rebuilding democratic institutions.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States declared war against Germany
on April 6, 1917, to redress wrongs, including
Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare,
violation of United States neutrality, meddling in
Mexican affairs, and denial of freedom of the seas to
nonbelligerent nations.
(2) The United States associated itself with the
allied powers of the United Kingdom and its
Commonwealth, France and its colonies, Russia, Italy,
and Japan to defeat the German Empire.
(3) The United States Army, consisting of the
Regular Army, National Guard, and Reserve Corps, with
the addition of volunteers and the draftees of the
National Army, underwent a transformation from a
frontier constabulary and coastal defense force to a
modern land warfare force.
(4) Early 20th century military and technological
advances resulted in the incorporation of motor
transport, aviation, anti-aircraft artillery, tanks,
chemical weapons, submarines and anti-submarine
warfare, underwater mines, and other innovations into
the military arsenal of the United States.
(5) The need to quickly build a military strength
of four million soldiers and half a million sailors
required the mobilization of the human resources of the
United States, during which members of diverse ethnic
groups, races, and creeds, both native-born and
immigrant, forged a new American identity.
(6) The United States Army maintained its defense
of American seacoasts, southern border, and overseas
possessions, while the Army American Expeditionary
Forces arrived in Europe in June 1917 and deployed for
combat operations in October.
(7) By the end of World War I, almost 2,000,000
members of the Army served overseas in the American
Expeditionary Forces.
(8) During World War I, the United States Navy
increased in strength from approximately 67,000 sailors
and marines to approximately 500,000 sailors and
marines by the war's end, and the size of the Navy
increased from around 200 ships at the outbreak of war
in Europe in 1914, to 342 vessels by the time the
United States entered the war, and 774 vessels by the
day of the Armistice
(9) The Navy operated in the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, and the North and Mediterranean Seas in
cooperation with allied navies.
(10) The Navy began the fight against the German U-
boat menace by first dispatching 34 destroyers
stationed specifically for such purpose, which by war's
end grew to 110 total destroyers
(11) Navy vessels escorted troop transports
carrying 1,250,000 passengers and escorted supply
transports carrying 27 percent of all cargo shipped to
Europe.
(12) The Navy deployed five batteries of large-
caliber battleship guns mounted on railroad trains to
France for service as long-range artillery for the
Army.
(13) The United States Coast Guard transferred to
the operational control of the Navy and augmented that
service with officers and sailors, vessels of all
types, and shore stations.
(14) The United States Marine Corps, with an
eventual wartime strength of 53,000 officers and men,
detached the 5th and 6th regiments and a machine gun
battalion to constitute an infantry brigade integrated
into the Army's 2d Division for service in France.
(15) On July 4, 1917, Colonel Charles E. Stanton,
one of the officers on the staff of General John
Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary
Forces in Europe, famously announced the commitment of
the United States to the fight when Colonel Stanton
proclaimed upon his arrival in France, ``Lafayette, we
are here!''.
(16) Whereas the American Expeditionary Forces
formed three field armies, nine corps and 43 divisions,
plus various units of the Services of Supply.
(17) The American Expeditionary Forces suffered
255,000 casualties and over 50,000 non-battle
casualties while participating in 13 named campaigns in
World War I.
(18) Participation in World War I resulted in the
completion of a period of reform and professionalism
that transformed the Armed Forces from a small
dispersed organization to a modern industrialized
fighting force capable of global reach and influence.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
(1) honors the memory of the fallen heroes who wore
the uniform of the United States Armed Forces during
World War I;
(2) commends the Unites States Armed Forces for
preserving and protecting the interests of the United
States during World War I;
(3) commends the brave members of the United States
Armed Forces for their courage while preserving the
founding principles of the United States at home and
abroad during World War I;

Armed Forces for preserving and protecting the sea
lanes of commerce and communications during World War I
that ensured the continued prosperity of the United
States;
(5) celebrates and congratulates the United States
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard
during the commemoration of the centennial of World War
I for a job well done; and

SEC. 1233. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EUROPEAN SECURITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Russia's ongoing aggressive actions, including
its invasions of Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014,
threats to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
allies, rapid military modernization, advanced anti-
access and area denial capabilities, increasing
military activity in the Arctic region and
Mediterranean Sea, evolving nuclear doctrine and
capabilities, and violations of the Intermediate-Range
Nuclear Forces Treaty Between the United States of
America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and
the Treaty on Open Skies, constitute a major challenge
to the security interests of the United States and its
allies and partners in Europe.
(2) Russia's ongoing malign influence activities,
including misinformation, disinformation, propaganda,
cyberattacks, election interference, active measures,
and hybrid warfare operations pose not only a threat to
the security interests of the United States and its
allies and partners in Europe, but to the integrity of
Western democracies and the institutions and alliances
they support.
(3) Russia's doctrine of ``escalate to de-
escalate'', along with its tactical nuclear
capabilities, threaten United States forces and
European allies and exacerbate the risk of
miscalculation and escalation in a crisis.
(4) The European Deterrence Initiative (EDI)
continues to improve credible deterrence against
Russian aggression by--
(A) training and equipping military forces
of NATO allies and European partners;
(B) enhancing the indications and warning,
interoperability, and logistics capabilities of
United States allies and partners; and
(C) improving the agility and flexibility
of partners and allies to address threats
across the full spectrum of domains.
(5) A strong NATO alliance is the cornerstone of
transatlantic security cooperation and the guarantor of
peace and stability in Europe.
(6) The steps taken at the NATO 2014 Wales Summit
and the NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit, including the adoption
and implementation of the Readiness Action Plan (RAP),
the formation of the Very High Joint Readiness Force
(VJTF), the Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP)
multinational battalions deployed to Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, and Poland, and the Tailored Forward
Presence in Romania and Bulgaria, have strengthened
NATO readiness and collective defense.
(7) Montenegro's accession into NATO is a strong
step toward strengthening the alliance, enhancing
security and stability in Southeastern Europe, and
reaffirming NATO's commitment to an ``Open Door''
policy.
(8) Cooperation with non-NATO allies and members of
the Partnership for Peace program enhances security and
stability in Europe.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States should support a Europe
whole, free, and at peace and the sovereign right of
all European states to pursue integration into the
Euro-Atlantic community through institutions such as
NATO and the European Union;
(2) the United States should develop and implement
a policy and strategy backed by all elements of United
States power to deter and, if necessary, defeat Russian
aggression, which will require--
(A) enhancing United States military
capability and capacity in Europe, including
strong consideration of investments in
increased permanently-stationed and continued
rotational forces as well as the facilities and
infrastructure necessary to support United
States presence and training with its allies
and partners; and
(B) strengthening United States capability
and capacity to counter malign Russian
influence, including Russian hybrid warfare
operations short of traditional armed conflict,
malicious Russian cyber activities, and
Russia's use of misinformation, disinformation,
and propaganda;
(3) investments that support the security and
stability of Europe, including the EDI, and support to
European countries in further developing their security
capabilities, are in the long-term national security
interests of the United States, and as such, funds for
such efforts should be included in the President's base
budget request for the Department of Defense in order
to fully support United States combat capability in
Europe, facilitate efficient planning and execution,
and ensure budgetary transparency;
(4) the United States should maintain an ironclad
commitment to its obligations under Article 5 of the
North Atlantic Treaty, which declares that an ``armed
attack against one or more [NATO allies] shall be
considered an attack against them all'';
(5) while NATO allies have made progress toward
high levels of defense spending, it is important that
all NATO allies fulfill their commitments to levels and
composition of defense expenditures as agreed upon at
the NATO 2014 Wales Summit and NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit
in order to uphold their obligations under Article 3 of
the North Atlantic Treaty to ``maintain and develop
their individual and collective capacity to resist
armed attack'';
(6) NATO allies should continue to coordinate
defense investments to both improve deterrence against
Russian aggression and more appropriately balance
defense spending across the alliance; and
(7) because the NATO alliance defends not only the
common security of the United States and its NATO
allies, but our common values as well, it is essential
that all NATO allies uphold their obligations under the
North Atlantic Treaty to ``safeguard the freedom,
common heritage and civilization of their peoples,
founded on the principles of democracy, individual
liberty and the rule of law''.

of the House of Representatives.
(c) Open Skies Treaty Defined.--In this section, the term
``Open Skies Treaty'' means the Treaty on Open Skies, done at
Helsinki March 24, 1992, and entered into force January 1,
2002.
SEC. 1236. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES OF
NATO.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Warsaw Summit Communique, issued on July 9,
2016, by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (in
this section referred to as ``NATO'') clearly defines
the need for, and the importance of, the nuclear
mission of NATO.
(2) The Warsaw Summit Communique states--
(A) with respect to the nuclear deterrence
capability of NATO, ``As a means to prevent
conflict and war, credible deterrence and
defence is essential. Therefore, deterrence and
defence, based on an appropriate mix of
nuclear, conventional, and missile defence
capabilities, remains a core element of our
overall strategy. . . The fundamental purpose
of NATO's nuclear capability is to preserve
peace, prevent coercion, and deter aggression.
Nuclear weapons are unique. Any employment of
nuclear weapons against NATO would
fundamentally alter the nature of a conflict.
The circumstances in which NATO might have to
use nuclear weapons are extremely remote'';
(B) with respect to the nature of the
nuclear deterrence posture of NATO, ``NATO must
continue to adapt its strategy in line with
trends in the security environment-including
with respect to capabilities and other measures
required-to ensure that NATO's overall
deterrence and defence posture is capable of
addressing potential adversaries' doctrine and
capabilities, and that it remains credible,
flexible, resilient, and adaptable.''; and
(C) with respect to the importance of
contributions to the nuclear deterrence mission
from across the NATO alliance, ``The strategic
forces of the Alliance, particularly those of
the United States, are the supreme guarantee of
the security of the Allies. The independent
strategic nuclear forces of the United Kingdom
and France have a deterrent role of their own
and contribute to the overall security of the
Alliance. These Allies' separate centres of
decision-making contribute to deterrence by
complicating the calculations of potential
adversaries. NATO's nuclear deterrence posture
also relies, in part, on United States' nuclear
weapons forward-deployed in Europe and on
capabilities and infrastructure provided by
Allies concerned. These Allies will ensure that
all components of NATO's nuclear deterrent
remain safe, secure, and effective. That
requires sustained leadership focus and
institutional excellence for the nuclear
deterrence mission and planning guidance
aligned with 21st century requirements. The
Alliance will ensure the broadest possible
participation of Allies concerned in their
agreed nuclear burden-sharing arrangements.''.
(3) Secretary of Defense James Mattis, in response
to the advance policy questions for his Senate
confirmation hearing on January 12, 2017, stated that--
(A) ``NATO's nuclear deterrence posture
relies in part on U.S. nuclear weapons forward-
deployed in Europe and on capabilities and
infrastructure provided by NATO allies. These
capabilities include dual-capable aircraft that
contribute to current burden-sharing
arrangements within NATO. In general, we must
take care to maintain this particular
capability, and to modernize it appropriately
and in a timely fashion.''; and
(B) the role of the nuclear weapons of the
United States is ``to deter nuclear war and to
serve as last resort weapons of self-defense.
In this sense, U.S. nuclear weapons are
fundamental to our nation's security and have
historically provided a deterrent against
aggression and security assurance to U.S.
allies. A robust, flexible, and survivable U.S.
nuclear arsenal underpins the U.S. ability to
deploy conventional forces worldwide.''.
(4) On March 28, 2017, General Curtis Scaparrotti,
Commander of the United States European Command and the
Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, testified to the
Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives that ``NATO and U.S. nuclear forces
continue to be a vital component of our deterrence. Our
modernization efforts are crucial; we must preserve a
ready, credible, and safe nuclear capability.''.
(5) The Russian Federation is currently undergoing
significant modernization and recapitalization of all
three legs of its nuclear triad, continues to field and
modernize a large variety of non-strategic nuclear
weapons, and is developing and deploying new and unique
nuclear capabilities.
(6) Russia remains in violation of the INF Treaty
due to the development, testing, and, most recently,
the operational deployment of ground-launched cruise
missiles in violation of the INF Treaty.
(7) On March 28, 2017, General Paul Selva, Vice
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described the
security consequences of the deployment of such INF
Treaty-violating missiles, testifying to the Committee
on Armed Services of the House of Representatives that
``our assessment of the impact is that it more
threatens NATO and infrastructure within the European
continent than any other...area of the world that we
have national interests in or alliance interests in.''.
(8) On March 28, 2017, General Curtis Scaparrotti,
in testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of
the House of Representatives, responded to a question
asking if Russia intends to return to compliance with
the INF Treaty by stating, ``I don't have any
indication that they will at this time.''.
(9) Rhetoric from Russian officials has
demonstrated that Moscow has sought to leverage its
nuclear arsenal to threaten and intimidate neighboring
countries, including members of NATO, as was the case
when the Russian Ambassador to Denmark stated, ``Danish
warships will be targets for Russian nuclear missiles''
in response to Denmark's potential cooperation in the
NATO missile defense system.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the nuclear and conventional deterrence
capabilities of NATO are of critical importance to the
security of the United States and of the NATO alliance,
and must continue to adapt to the changed security
environment in Europe;
(2) the ability of the United States to forward-
deploy dual-capable aircraft and nuclear weapons, and
of select members of NATO to participate in the nuclear
deterrence mission of NATO by hosting forward-deployed
nuclear weapons of the United States or operating dual-
capable aircraft, is central to the credibility of the
nuclear deterrence and defense posture of NATO;
(3) the strategic forces of the United States, the
independent nuclear forces of the United Kingdom and
the French Republic, and the dual-capable aircraft
operated by the United States and other members of NATO
constitute foundational elements of the nuclear
deterrence and defense posture of NATO;
(4) NATO should modernize its nuclear-related
infrastructure to ensure the highest-level of safety
and security;
(5) effective deterrence requires NATO to conduct
nuclear planning and exercises aligned with 21st
century requirements and modernize nuclear-related
capabilities and infrastructure, including dual-capable
aircraft, command and control networks, and facilities;
and
(6) to ensure the continued credibility of the
deterrence and defense posture of NATO, the planned
completion of F-35A aircraft development and testing,
as well as the delivery of such aircraft to members of
NATO, must not be delayed.
(c) INF Treaty Defined.--In this section, 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.

Subtitle E--Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty Preservation
Act of 2017
SEC. 1241. SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the ``Intermediate-Range
Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty Preservation Act of 2017''.
SEC. 1242. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The 2014, 2015, and 2016 Department of State
reports entitled, ``Adherence to and Compliance with
Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament
Agreements and Commitments'', all stated that the
United States has determined that ``the Russian
Federation is in violation of its obligations under the
INF Treaty not to possess, produce, or flight-test a
ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a range
capability of 500 km to 5,500 km, or to possess or
produce launchers of such missiles''.
(2) The 2016 report also noted that ``the cruise
missile developed by Russia meets the INF Treaty
definition of a ground-launched cruise missile with a
range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km, and as such,
all missiles of that type, and all launchers of the
type used or tested to launch such a missile, are
prohibited under the provisions of the INF Treaty''.
(3) Potential consistency and compliance concerns
regarding the INF Treaty noncompliant GLCM have existed
since 2008, were not officially raised with the Russian
Federation until 2013, and were not briefed to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) until January
2014.
(4) The United States Government is aware of other
consistency and compliance concerns regarding Russia
actions vis-a-vis its INF Treaty obligations.
(5) Since 2013, senior United States officials,
including the President, the Secretary of State, and
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have raised
Russian noncompliance with the INF Treaty to their
counterparts, but no progress has been made in bringing
the Russian Federation back into compliance with the
INF Treaty.
(6) In April 2014, General Breedlove, the Supreme
Allied Commander Europe, correctly stated, ``A weapon
capability that violates the INF, that is introduced
into the greater European land mass, is absolutely a
tool that will have to be dealt with . . . It can't go
unanswered.''.
(7) The Department of Defense in its September 2013
report, Report on Conventional Prompt Global Strike
Options if Exempt from the Restrictions of the
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty Between the
United States of America and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics, stated that it has multiple
validated military requirement gaps due to the
prohibitions imposed on the United States as a result
of its compliance with the INF Treaty.
(8) It is not in the national security interests of
the United States to be unilaterally legally prohibited
from developing dual-capable ground-launched cruise
missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers,
while Russia makes advances in developing and fielding
this class of weapon systems, and such unilateral
limitation cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely.
(9) Admiral Harry Harris, Jr., Commander of the
United States Pacific Command, testified before the
Senate Armed Services Committee on April 27, 2017, that
``[W]e're in a multi-polar world where we have a lot of
countries who are developing these weapons, including
China, that I worry about. And I worry about their DF-
21 and DF-26 missile programs, their anti-carrier
ballistic missile programs, if you will. INF doesn't
address missiles launched from ships or airplanes, but
it focuses on those land-based systems. I think there's
goodness in the INF treaty, anything you can do to
limit nuclear weapons writ-large is generally good. But
the aspects of the INF Treaty that limit our ability to
counter Chinese and other countries' land-based
missiles, I think, is problematic.''.
(10) A material breach of the INF Treaty by the
Russian Federation affords the United States the right
to invoke legal countermeasures which include
suspension of the treaty in whole or in part.
(11) Article XV of the INF Treaty provides that
``Each Party shall, in exercising its national
sovereignty, have the right to withdraw from this
Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events related
to the subject matter of this Treaty have jeopardized
its supreme interests.''.
SEC. 1243. COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT REGARDING RUSSIAN VIOLATIONS OF THE
INF TREATY.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the actions undertaken by the Russian
Federation in violation of the INF Treaty constitute a
material breach of the treaty;
(2) in light of the Russian Federation's material
breach of 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 breach; and
(3) for so long as the Russian Federation remains
in noncompliance with the INF Treaty, the United States
should take actions to encourage the Russian Federation
return to compliance, including by--
(A) providing additional funds for the
capabilities identified in section 1243(d) of
the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat.
1062); and
(B) seeking additional missile defense
assets in the European theater to protect
United States and NATO forces from ground-
launched missile systems of the Russian
Federation that are in noncompliance with the
INF Treaty.
(b) Availability of Funds.--Of the funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2018 for research,
development, test, and evaluation, as specified in the funding
table in division D, $58,000,000 shall be made available for
the development of--
(1) active defenses to counter ground-launched
missile systems with ranges between 500 and 5,500
kilometers;
(2) counterforce capabilities to prevent attacks
from these missiles; and
(3) countervailing strike capabilities to enhance
the capabilities of the United States identified in
section 1243(d) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat.
1062).
(c) Development of INF Range Ground-launched Missile
System.--
(1) Establishment of a program of record.--The
Secretary of Defense shall establish a program of
record to develop a conventional road-mobile ground-
launched cruise missile system with a range of between
500 to 5,500 kilometers, including research and
development activities with respect to such cruise
missile system.
(2) Report required.--Not later than 120 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
Defense shall submit to the congressional defense
committees a report on the cost and schedule for, and
feasibility of, modifying United States missile systems
in existence or planned as of such date of enactment
for ground launch with a range of between 500 and 5,500
kilometers as compared with the cost and schedule for,
and feasibility of, developing a new ground-launched
missile using new technology with the same range.

CONTRACTS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) since the passage of the Budget Control Act of
2011 (Public Law 112-25; 125 Stat. 240), many Federal
agencies have started favoring longer-term Federal
contracts, including multiple award contracts, over
direct individual awards;
(2) these multiple award contracts have grown to
more than one-fifth of Federal contract spending, with
the fastest growing multiple award contracts each
surpassing $100,000,000 in obligations for the first
time between 2013 and 2014;
(3) in fiscal year 2017, 17 of the 20 largest
Federal contract opportunities are multiple award
contracts;
(4) while Federal agencies may choose to use any or
all of the various socioeconomic groups on a multiple
award contract, the Small Business Administration only
examines the performance of socioeconomic groups
through the small business procurement scorecard and
does not examine potential opportunities for those
groups; and
(5) Congress and the Department of Justice have
been clear that no individual socioeconomic group shall
be given preference over another.

(3) the terms ``qualified HUBZone small business
concern'', ``small business concern'', ``small business
concern owned and controlled by service-disabled
veterans'', and ``small business concern owned and
controlled by women'' have the meanings given those
terms in section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C.
632).
(c) Report.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall
submit to the Committee on Small Business and
Entrepreneurship of the Senate and the Committee on
Small Business of the House of Representatives a report
that includes--

business concerns and each category of covered
small business concern are being utilized in a
significant portion of the multiple award

concerns in 1 or more of those
categories; and

Subtitle B--Program Authorizations, Restrictions, and Limitations
SEC. 3111. NUCLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION
INITIATIVE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On September 7, 2016, during testimony before
the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces of the Committee
on Armed Services of the House of Representatives--
(A) the Administrator for Nuclear Security,
Frank Klotz, said--
(i) ``Our infrastructure is
extensive, complex, and, in many
critical areas, several decades old.
More than half of NNSA's approximately
6,000 real property assets are over 40
years old, and nearly 30 percent date
back to the Manhattan Project era. Many
of the enterprise's critical utility,
safety, and support systems are failing
at an increasing and unpredictable
rate, which poses both programmatic and
safety risk.''; and
(ii) ``I can think of no greater
threat to the nuclear security
enterprise than the state of NNSA's
infrastructure.'';
(B) the President and Chief Executive
Officer of Consolidated Nuclear Security,
Morgan Smith, said, ``Many key facilities at
both [Pantex and Y-12] were constructed in the
1940s and were intended to operate for as
little as one decade. Many facilities and their
supporting infrastructure have exceeded or far
exceeded their expected life, and major systems
within the facilities are beginning to fail.'';
and
(C) the Director of Los Alamos National
Laboratory, Dr. Charlie McMillan, said, ``One
of the things that keeps me up at night is the
realization that essential capabilities are
held at risk by the possibility of such
failures; in many cases, our enterprise has a
single point of failure.''.
(2) In a letter sent on December 23, 2015, by the
Secretary of Energy, Ernest Moniz, to the Director of
the Office of Management and Budget, Shaun Donovan, the
Secretary said, ``A majority of the National Nuclear
Security Administration's (NNSA) facilities and systems
are well beyond end-of-life.... Infrastructure problems
such as falling ceilings are increasing in frequency
and severity, unacceptably risking the safety and
security of both personnel and material at NNSA
facilities, as well as in some instances, potential
offsite risks. The entire complex could be placed at
risk if there is a single failure where a single point
would disrupt a critical link in infrastructure.''.
(3) The Nuclear Posture Review published in April
2010 stated that ``In order to sustain a safe, secure,
and effective U.S. nuclear stockpile as long as nuclear
weapons exist, the United States must possess a modern
physical infrastructure.... Today's nuclear complex,
however, has fallen into neglect. Although substantial
science, technology, and engineering investments were
made over the last decade under the auspices of the
Stockpile Stewardship Program, the complex still
includes many oversized and costly-to maintain
facilities built during the 1940s and 1950s. Some
facilities needed for working with plutonium and
uranium date back to the Manhattan Project. Safety,
security, and environmental issues associated with
these aging facilities are mounting, as are the costs
of addressing them.''.
(4) In 2009, the bipartisan Congressional
Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United
States established by section 1062 of the National
Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law
110-181; 122 Stat. 319) stated, with regards to key
production facilities, that ``existing facilities are
genuinely decrepit and are maintained in a safe and
secure manner only at high cost''.
(5) Previous efforts to address the deferred
maintenance and repair challenges within the nuclear
security enterprise, such as the Facilities
Infrastructure and Recapitalization Program and the
recent halt in the growth of backlog metrics, are
laudable but insufficient for the magnitude of the
problem.
(6) Recent figures provided by the Administrator
for Nuclear Security estimate the backlog of deferred
maintenance and repair needs of the nuclear security
enterprise to be approximately $3,700,000,000.
(b) Infrastructure Modernization Initiative.--
(1) Establishment.--Not later than 30 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the
Administrator for Nuclear Security shall establish and
carry out a program, to be known as the
``Infrastructure Modernization Initiative'', to reduce
the backlog of deferred maintenance and repair needs of
the nuclear security enterprise (as defined in section
4002(6) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C.
2501(6))). In carrying out that program, the
Administrator shall establish and execute
infrastructure modernization milestones that reduce the
deferred maintenance and repair needs of the nuclear
security enterprise by not less than 30 percent by
2025.
(2) Authorities.--
(A) Process.--
(i) In general.--The Secretary of
Energy shall provide to the
Administrator a process that will
enhance or streamline the ability of
the Administrator to carry out the

efficient and effective manner,
including with respect to--
(I) the demolition or
construction of non-nuclear
facilities of the
Administration that have a
total estimated project cost of
less than $100,000,000; and
(II) the decontamination,
decommissioning, and demolition
(to be performed in accordance
with applicable health and
safety standards used by the
Defense Environmental Cleanup
Program) of process-
contaminated facilities of the
Administration that have a
total estimated project cost of
less than $50,000,000.
(ii) Funding.--Clause (i) may be
carried out using amounts authorized to
be appropriated for fiscal year 2018 or
any subsequent fiscal year.
(B) Application of certain requirements.--
For purposes of the Management Procedures
Memorandum 2015-01 of the Office of Management
and Budget, or a successor memorandum, in
carrying out the program under paragraph (1),
the Administrator may--
(i) perform new construction during
a fiscal year that differs from the
fiscal year of corresponding facility
demolition;
(ii) perform demolition of
different facility category codes and
have that demolition credit count
towards the construction of new
facilities with a different facility
category code; and
(iii) have the net reduction in
infrastructure footprint for the five
fiscal years prior to the date of the
enactment of this Act, and the
demolition during the five fiscal years
following such date of enactment,
considered as a factor for the purpose
of meeting the intent of such
memorandum.
(3) Initial plan.--Not later than March 1, 2018,
the Administrator shall submit to the congressional
defense committees an initial plan to carry out the
program under paragraph (1) to achieve the goal

(D) a description of the process provided
to the Administrator to carry out the program
pursuant to paragraph (2)(A); and
(E) a description of any legislative
actions the Administrator recommends to further
enhance or streamline authorities or processes
relating to the program.
(4) Reassessment.--Not later than February 1, 2024,
the Administrator shall reassess the program under
paragraph (1) and, as appropriate, develop and
establish goals for the program beyond 2025.
(c) Inclusion in Biennial Detailed Report.--Section
4203(d)(4) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C.
2523(d)(4)) is amended--
(1) in subparagraph (B), by striking ``; and'' and
inserting a semicolon;
(2) in subparagraph (C), by striking the period at
the end and inserting ``; and''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following new

SEC. 3118. NUCLEAR WARHEAD DESIGN COMPETITION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In January 2016, the co-chairs of a
congressionally mandated study panel from the National
Academies of Science testified to the following before
the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives:
(A) ``The National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) complex must engage in
robust design competitions in order to exercise
the design and production skills that underpin
stockpile stewardship and are necessary to meet
evolving threats.''.
(B) ``To exercise the full set of design
skills necessary for an effective nuclear
deterrent, the NNSA should develop and conduct
the first in what the committee envisions to be
a series of design competitions that integrate
the full end-to-end process from novel design
conception through engineering, building, and
non-nuclear testing of a prototype.''.
(2) In March 2016 testimony before the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives
regarding a December 2016 Defense Science Board report
entitled, ``Seven Defense Priorities for the New
Administration'', members of that Board said the
following:
(A) ``A key contributor to nuclear
deterrence is the continuous, adaptable
exercise of the development, design, and
production functions for nuclear weapons in
both the DOD and DOE.... Yet the DOE
laboratories and DOD contractor community have
done little integrated design and development
work outside of life extension for 25 years,
let alone concept development that could serve
as a hedge to surprise.''.
(B) ``The Defense Science Board believes
that the triad's complementary features remain
robust tenets for the design of a future force.
Replacing our current, aging force is
essential, but not sufficient in the more
complex nuclear environment we now face to
provide the adaptability or flexibility to
confidently hold at risk what adversaries
value. In particular, if the threat evolves in
ways that favorably change the cost/benefit
calculus in the view of an adversary's
leadership, then we should be in a position to
quickly restore a credible deterrence
posture.''.
(3) In a memorandum dated May 9, 2014, then-
Secretary of Energy Ernie Moniz said the following:
(A) ``If nuclear military capabilities are
to provide deterrence for the nation they need
to be relevant to the emerging global strategic
environment. The current stockpile was designed
to meet the needs of a bipolar world with roots
in the Cold War era. A more complex, chaotic,
and dynamic security environment is emerging.
In order to uphold the Department's mission to
ensure an effective nuclear deterrent.... we
must ensure our nuclear capabilities meet the
challenges of known and potential geopolitical
and technological trends. Therefore we must
look ahead, using the expertise of our
laboratories, to how the capabilities that may
be employed by other nations could impact
deterrence over the next several decades.''.
(B) ``We must challenge our thinking about
our programs of record in order to permit
foresighted actions that may reduce, in the
coming decades, the chances for surprise and
that buttress deterrence.''.
(b) Design Competition.--
(1) In general.--In accordance with paragraph (2),
the Administrator for Nuclear Security, in coordination
with the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council, shall
carry out a new and comprehensive design competition
for a nuclear warhead that could be employed on
ballistic missiles of the United States by 2030. Such
competition shall--
(A) examine options for warhead design and
related delivery system requirements in the
2030s, including--
(i) life extension of existing
weapons;
(ii) new capabilities; and
(iii) such other concepts as the
Administrator and the Chairman
determine necessary to fully exercise
and create responsive design
capabilities in the enterprise and
ensure a robust nuclear deterrent into
the 2030s;
(B) assess how the capabilities and
defenses that may be employed by other
countries could impact deterrence in 2030 and
beyond and how such threats could be addressed
or mitigated in the warhead and related
delivery systems;
(C) exercise the full set of design skills
necessary for an effective nuclear deterrent
and responsive enterprise through production of
conceptual designs and, as the Administrator
determines appropriate, production of non-
nuclear prototypes of components or subsystems;
and
(D) examine and recommend actions for
significantly shortening timelines and
significantly reducing costs associated with
design, development, certification, and
production of the warhead, without reducing
worker or public health and safety.
(2) Timing.--The Administrator shall--
(A) during fiscal year 2018, develop a plan
to carry out paragraph (1); and
(B) during fiscal year 2019, implement such
plan.
(c) Briefing.--Not later than March 1, 2018, the
Administrator, in coordination with the Chairman, shall provide
a briefing to the congressional defense committees on the plan
of the Administrator to carry out the warhead design
competition under subsection (b). Such briefing shall include
an assessment of the costs, benefits, risks, and opportunities
of such plan, particularly impacts to ongoing life extension
programs and infrastructure projects.

WEAPONS AND FISSILE MATERIAL.
(a) Findings and Sense of Congress.--
(1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(A) A January 2014 Defense Science Board
report found that ``The nuclear future will not
be a linear extrapolation of the past... [and]
[t]he technologies and processes designed for
current treaty verification and inspections are
inadequate to future monitoring realities.''.
(B) Section 3133 of the Carl Levin and
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public
Law 113-291; 127 Stat. 3896) required an
interagency plan for monitoring of nuclear
weapons and fissile material, and section 3132
of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat.
2768) required an update of such plan. In both
instances, the reports submitted failed to
answer the congressional requirements, and
instead provided only a brief summary of the
National Security Council structure and
processes.
(2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress
that verification, detection, and monitoring of nuclear
weapons and fissile material should be a priority for
national security, and that the reports submitted to
date do not reflect this priority, or the current and
planned initiatives related to nuclear verification and
detection.
(b) Plan.--The President, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of
Energy, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of
National Intelligence, shall develop a plan for verification
and monitoring relating to the potential proliferation of
nuclear weapons, components of such weapons, and fissile
material.
(c) Elements.--The plan developed under subsection (b)
shall include the following:
(1) A plan and road map for verification,
detection, and monitoring, with respect to policy,
operations, and research, development, testing, and
evaluation, including--
(A) identifying requirements for such
verification, detection, and monitoring;
(B) costs and funding requirements over 10
years for such verification, detection, and
monitoring; and
(C) identifying and integrating roles,
responsibilities, and planning for such
verification, detection, and monitoring.
(2) A detailed international engagement plan for
building cooperation and transparency, including
bilateral and multilateral efforts, to improve
inspections, detection, and monitoring.
(3) A detailed description of--
(A) current and planned research and
development efforts to improve monitoring,
detection, and in-field inspection and analysis
capabilities, including persistent
surveillance, remote monitoring, and rapid
analysis of large data sets, including open-
source data; and
(B) measures to coordinate technical and

(1) The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (42
U.S.C. 2210 note) was enacted in 1990 to provide
monetary compensation to individuals who contracted
certain cancers and other serious diseases following
their exposure to radiation released during atmospheric
nuclear weapons testing during the Cold War or
following exposure to radiation as a result of
employment in the uranium industry during the Cold War.
(2) The Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 7384 et
seq.) formally acknowledged the dangers to which some
employees of sites of the Department of Energy and its
vendors during the Cold War were exposed. That Act also
acknowledged that, although establishing the link
between occupational hazards and specific diseases can
be difficult, scientific evidence exists to support the
conclusion that some activities related to Cold War
nuclear weapons production have resulted in increased
risk of illness and death to workers. That Act
established a formal process for the submission of
claims for medical expenses and lump sum compensation
for former employees and contractors and survivors of
those former employees and contractors.
(3) As of the date of the enactment of this Act,
more than 145,775 claims have been paid out under the
Radiation Exposure Compensation Act and the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
of 2000, for a total of at least $16,400,000,000 in

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at
the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on
the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2810), to
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2018 for military
activities of the Department of Defense, for military
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of
Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such
fiscal year, and for other purposes, submit the following joint
statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of the
effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and
recommended in the accompanying conference report:
The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after
the enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment
of the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the
House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between
the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute agreed
to in conference are noted below, except for clerical
corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements
reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying
changes.
Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and Senate
regarding earmarks and congressionally directed spending items
Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the
House of Representatives and Rule XLIV(3) of the Standing Rules
of the Senate, neither this conference report nor the
accompanying joint statement of managers contains any
congressional earmarks, congressionally directed spending
items, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits, as
defined in such rules.
Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget authority
implication
The budget request for national defense discretionary
programs within the jurisdiction of the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives for
fiscal year 2018 was $665.7 billion. Of this amount, $579.3
billion was requested for base Department of Defense programs,
$65.8 billion was requested for overseas contingency
operations, $20.5 billion was requested for national security
programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear
Facilities Safety Board, and $210.0 million for defense-related
activities. The total request of $665.7 billion also includes
the additional amounts from the November 2017 budget amendment.
The conference agreement would authorize $692.1 billion
in fiscal year 2018, including $605.5 billion for base
Department of Defense programs, $65.7 billion for overseas
contingency operations, $20.6 billion for national security
programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear
Facilities Safety Board, and $300.0 million for defense-related
activities.
The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments
in Division D of the accompanying joint statement of managers
summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement and
the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2018
defense programs.
Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 4) that
would require that the budgetary effects of this Act be
determined in accordance with the procedures established in the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (title I of Public Law 111-
139).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS
Title I--Procurement
BUDGET ITEMS
Virginia-class submarine advanced procurement
The budget request included $1.9 billion in line item 5
of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for Virginia-class
submarine advance procurement.
The House bill would authorize an increase of $943.0
million above the request.
The Senate amendment would authorize an increase of $1.2
billion above the request.
The agreement authorizes an increase of $698.0 million
above the request.
The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to use
this increase for: (1) procurement of a third Virginia-class
submarine in fiscal year 2020; (2) economic order quantity for
the fiscal year 2019 through 2023 multiyear Virginia-class
submarine procurement; or (3) to expand second and third tier
contractors in the submarine industrial base to support planned
increased production requirements.
If the Secretary pursues option (3), the Secretary shall
notify the congressional defense committees within 30 days of
obligating funds for such purpose of the: obligation date,
contractor name or names, location, description of the
shortfall to be addressed, actions to be undertaken, desired
end state, usable end items to be procured, period of
performance, dollar amount, projected associated savings
including business case analysis if applicable, contract name,
and contract number.
The conferees believe that utilizing greater economic
order quantity procurement, procuring an additional submarine,
or expanding the capabilities of the supplier base should lead
to greater cost savings and improved efficiency as production
increases to meet the Columbia-class schedule and higher
requirement for attack submarines in the Navy's latest Force
Structure Assessment.
Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations
Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) that
would authorize the appropriations for procurement activities
at the levels identified in section 4101 of division D of this
Act.
The Senate amendment contained an identical provision
(sec. 101).
The conference agreement includes this provision.
Subtitle B--Army Programs
Authority to expedite procurement of 7.62mm rifles (sec. 111)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10101)
that would authorize the Secretary of the Army to expedite
acquiring a commercially available off-the-shelf item, non-
developmental item, or Government-off-the-shelf materiel
solution for a 7.62mm rifle capability.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize
the Secretary of the Army to expedite procurement under full
and open competition, to the maximum practicable, of up to
7,000 7.62mm rifles, ammunition, and related equipment given
emerging threats. The House amendment would also require the
Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees before entering into a contract, should the
Secretary of the Army decide to exercise existing sole source
authority to procure up to 7,000 7.62mm rifles. Additionally,
the House amendment stipulates that any contract awarded shall
be awarded through a full and open competition for the next
generation squad weapon program.
The conferees expect the Secretary of the Army to allow
for sufficient time for the congressional defense committees to
review the findings from the required report before entering
into a contract for a 7.62mm rifle. Further, the conferees
expect the Secretary of the Army, in consultation with the
Chief of Staff of the Army, to develop options for accelerating
the next generation squad weapon system given current and
emerging threats.
Limitation on availability of funds for Increment 2 of the Warfighter
Information Network-Tactical program (sec. 112)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that
would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees by January 30, 2018,
detailing potential options for the acceleration of procurement
and fielding of the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical
Increment 2 program.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 112)
that would require the Secretary of the Army to report to the
congressional defense committees detailing how the Army intends
to implement the recommendations of the Director of Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) for the Army's Air-
Land Mobile Tactical Communications and Data Network to include
the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) program.
The provision would also prohibit the Secretary of the Army
from obligating any funds available in Other Procurement, Army
for the WIN-T, Increment 2 (Inc 2) program subject to the
submission of the Army's report.
The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize
not more than 50 percent of fiscal year 2018 funds to enter
into, or to prepare to enter into, a contract until the Army
submits a report detailing their tactical network modernization
strategy to include reporting elements from both the House and
Senate provisions. The amendment would also require the Army to
include as part of this report detailed budget justification
for this strategy.
The conferees are concerned about the continued
suitability, effectiveness, security, and survivability of all
aspects of the Army Air-Land Mobile Tactical Communications and
Data Networks to include WIN-T given demonstrated threat
capabilities of peer adversaries in electronic warfare attack,
electronic reconnaissance, and massed fire strikes.
The conferees continue to encourage the Army to repair
identified problems and to more carefully redefine its
requirements for the tactical network. The conferees encourage
the Army to leverage its new acquisition authorities to seek
non-developmental technologies when practicable to repair and
improve the legacy network. This effort is key given
investments to date.
Limitation on availability of funds for upgrade of M113 vehicles (sec.
113)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5102)
that would require the Secretary of the Army to submit to the
congressional defense committees a report setting forth the
strategy of the Army for the upgrade of M113 vehicles before
available funds are obligated or expended.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize
not more than 50 percent of available FY18 funds to be
obligated or expended for the upgrade of Army M113 vehicles
until the Secretary of the Army submits its report to the
congressional defense committees.
Subtitle C--Navy Programs
Aircraft carriers (sec. 121)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that
would express the sense of Congress on matters related to
aircraft carriers, require 12 operational aircraft carriers by
September 2023, eliminate the requirement to conduct full ship
shock trials on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), and provide
economic order quantity procurement authorities.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
125).
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide
the Secretary of Defense with the ability to waive the
requirement to conduct full ship shock trials on the USS Gerald
R. Ford, adjust the cost limitation baseline for the future USS
Enterprise (CVN-80) and follow-on aircraft carriers to $12.6
billion, and remove the authorities to use economic order
quantity procurement.
The conferees recognize cost savings and industrial base
efficiencies could be achieved through additional legislative
authorities, such as accelerating the construction rate of
aircraft carriers and providing economic order quantity
procurement of components, during construction of Ford-class
aircraft carriers and refueling and complex overhauls of
Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary of the
Navy to evaluate additional potential legislative authorities
for these programs and, if appropriate, submit legislative
proposals with the associated analysis, revised funding
profiles and cost estimates as part of the President's budget
request for Fiscal Year 2019.
The conferees understand the current cost estimate for
the Enterprise (CVN-80) is $12.6 billion, which is a $1.9
billion reduction relative to CVN-78 after accounting for
inflation. The conferees believe additional cost savings are
possible through economic order quantity procurement, ``design
for affordability'' initiatives, Ford-class learning curve,
CVN-80 repeating the design of CVN-79, production and
engineering man hour reductions, and increased competition. The
conferees encourage the Navy to explore these options to
identify additional cost savings.
Icebreaker vessel (sec. 122)
The House bill contained provisions (sec. 122, 123, and
1012) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to act as
a general agent for the Secretary of the Department in which
the Coast Guard is operating and enter into a contract for
icebreaker vessels; prohibit funds for the Department of
Defense from being used for the procurement of an icebreaker
vessel; and amend section 2218 of title 10, United States Code,
to authorize funds associated with the National Defense Sealift
Fund for the construction of icebreaker vessels.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1048).
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize
one polar-class heavy icebreaker vessel, prohibit funds for the
Department of Defense from being used for the procurement of an
icebreaker vessel other than this one polar-class heavy
icebreaker vessel, clarify contracting authorities, and require
a Comptroller General report.
The conferees recognize the national importance of
recapitalizing the U.S. icebreaker fleet and the extraordinary
circumstances that necessitated use of Department of Defense
funding to procure the first polar-class heavy icebreaker, as
partially provided in the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act for Fiscal Year 2017. Accordingly, the conferees support
the authorization of this icebreaker in this Act.
The conferees note the Undersecretary of Management in
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) serves as the
Acquisition Decision Authority for the Polar Icebreaker Program
and that this program is governed in accordance with DHS
Acquisition Management Directive 102-01 and Instruction 102-01-
001.
The conferees believe maintaining clear lines of
authority, responsibility, accountability, and resources with
the Secretary and Acquisition Decision Authority of the
department in which the U.S. Coast Guard is operating are
essential to delivering icebreakers on cost and schedule.
Accordingly, the conferees believe the Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security and the Undersecretary of
Management in the DHS should be the officials provided with
authorities and resources related to the Polar Icebreaker
Program.
Therefore, the conferees expect subsequent icebreakers to
be authorized by the congressional committees with jurisdiction
over the Coast Guard and funded using Coast Guard
appropriations.
Multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh Burke class destroyers
(sec. 123)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that
would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or
more multiyear contracts for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and
associated systems, in accordance with section 2306b of title
10, United States Code. The provision would also include a
limitation on funds associated with section 2435 of title 10,
United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
122).
The House recedes with an amendment that would remove
requirements related to contract award timing and the
additional Arleigh Burke-class destroyer provided in section
125(a)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The amendment would also
prohibit contract modifications resulting in an increase of
more than 10 percent to the original target price of a
destroyer awarded under the authority provided by this section.
The conferees note this would be the fourth multiyear
contract for the Arleigh Burke-class program. The Navy
estimates that each of the previous three multiyear procurement
contracts (fiscal years 1998-2001, 2002-2005, and 2013-2017)
achieved savings of greater than $1.0 billion, as compared to
annual procurements. For the fourth contract for fiscal years
2018-2022, the Navy is estimating savings of 9.3 percent, or in
excess of $1.8 billion, for the multiyear procurement of 10
ships as compared to annual procurement contracts.
Multiyear procurement authority for Virginia class submarine program
(sec. 124)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 124) that
would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or
more multiyear contracts for Virginia-class submarines, in
accordance with section 2306b of title 10, United States Code.
The provision would also include a limitation on funds
associated with section 2435 of title 10, United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
121).
The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit
contract modifications resulting in an increase of more than 10
percent to the original target price of a submarine awarded
under the authority provided by this section.
The conferees note this would be the fourth multiyear
contract for the Virginia-class program. The Navy estimates
that the previous three multiyear procurement contracts (fiscal
years 2003-2008, 2009-2013, and 2014-2018) achieved savings of
greater than 10 percent, as compared to annual procurements.
For the fourth contract for fiscal years 2019-2023, the Navy is
estimating savings of 14 percent, or in excess of $5.0 billion,
for the multiyear procurement of 10 ships as compared to annual
procurement contracts.
Design and construction of the lead ship of the amphibious ship
replacement designated LX(R) or amphibious transport dock
designated LPD-30 (sec. 125)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 124)
that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into
and incrementally fund a contract for design and construction
of the amphibious ship replacement designated LX(R) or the
amphibious transport dock designated LPD-30.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Multiyear procurement authority for V-22 Osprey aircraft (sec. 126)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 128) that
would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into
multiyear contracts for V-22 procurement and an upgrade program
for up to 7 years.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
123) that would authorize the Secretary to sign a multiyear
contract for V-22, but only for a period of up to 5 years.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that authorizing multiyear contracts
for 7 years represents a significant exception to the more
common practice of 5-year multiyear contracts. This exception
reflects the unique realities of the V-22 procurement program
rather than a shift in congressional practice. Furthermore, the
conferees expect the services to honor and fully fund their
multiyear commitments in future fiscal year budget requests.
Extension of limitation on use of sole-source shipbuilding contracts
for certain vessels (sec. 127)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 126)
that would extend to include fiscal year 2018 the prohibition
on funds from being used to enter into, or prepare to enter
into, sole source contracts for one or more Joint High Speed
Vessels (JHSV) or Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPF), unless
the Secretary of the Navy submits to the congressional defense
committees a certification and a report.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Limitation on availability of funds for the enhanced multi-mission
parachute system (sec. 128)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 129) that
would prohibit the use of funds for the Enhanced Multi-Mission
Parachute System (E-MMPS) until the Secretary of the Navy
submits to the congressional defense committees a certification
and report on the E-MMPS' ability to meet Marine Corps
operational needs and safety standards.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
127) but did not prohibit the use of funds for the E-MMPS
program.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain
the requirement for certification and reporting described above
but would only prohibit use of 20 percent of the funding
authorized to be appropriated for the E-MMPS.
Report on Navy capacity to increase production of certain rotary wing
aircraft (sec. 129)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1074)
that would require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees on the capacity of the
United States Navy to increase production of anti-submarine
warfare and combat search and rescue rotary wing aircraft.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Subtitle D--Air Force Programs
Inventory requirement for Air Force fighter aircraft (sec. 131)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 131)
that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to maintain a
minimum total active inventory of 1,970 fighter aircraft and
1,145 primary mission fighter aircraft.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would add a
sunset to the provision and remove subsection (c) Reports on
Fighter Aircraft.
Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of E-8 JSTARS
aircraft (sec. 132)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 135)
that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds to
retire, or prepare to retire, any E-8 Joint Surveillance Target
Attack Radar System aircraft.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Requirement for continuation of JSTARS aircraft recapitalization
program (sec. 133)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 134)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report
to Congress if the Secretary of the Air Force were to propose
in a budget request to cancel or modify the E-8C Joint
Surveillance Targeting and Reconnaissance System (JSTARS)
recapitalization program as presented to Congress in May 2017.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
certain elements of the required report.
The conferees are concerned by the Air Force's
reassessment of its current, validated JSTARS recapitalization
program. The acquisition program is currently in source
selection and reconsideration at this late stage injects
disruption and uncertainty into the process of updating and
enhancing a vital combat capability that Congress has
repeatedly urged the Air Force to accelerate. The conferees do
not currently understand what has changed to refute the written
and oral testimony the current Commander of Air Combat Command
and the current Chief of Staff of the Air Force have given to
Congress over the last two years.
General Holmes, the current commander of Air Combat
Command, testified in March 2015, before the House Armed
Services Committee's Tactical Air and Land subcommittee that
``[b]ased on the results of the Airborne SAR/MTI [Synthetic
Aperture Radar/Moving Target Indicator] JSTARS Mission Area AoA
[Analysis of Alternatives] in 2011, the Air Force has begun a
JSTARS Recapitalization (Recap) effort. The JSTARS Recap seeks
to replace the legacy E-8C with affordable commercially
available aircraft, reducing operation and sustainment costs by
27 percent compared to the E-8C. The new platform will reduce
the logistics footprint and improve operational capability with
an advanced ground surveillance radar and on-board battle
management suite. JSTARS Recap will continue to provide a
unique blend of on-board Battle Management Command and Control
and ISR [intelligence capabilities that enable the central
tenet of Air Forces doctrine `Centralized Control and
Decentralized Execution.'] The capability to perform this dual
mission at the tactical edge provides C2 mission assurance in a
contested environment. The USAF is fully committed to the
JSTARS mission. The E-8C and JSTARS Recap acquisition are fully
funded in the FYDP [Future Years Defense Program].''
Additionally, General Holmes testified in March 2016, to
the Senate Armed Services Committee's Airland subcommittee that
``[w]e hope that our JSTARS recapitalization program can
provide a model for recapitalizing the rest of what we're doing
now with the wide-body aircraft fleet and a way to bring the
radar, the air-battle management, and an airframe together in a
way that's cheaper to be able to continue to do those
missions.''
General Goldfein, the current Air Force Chief of Staff,
testified in February 2016, before the House Armed Services
Committee that ``[t]he Chief of Staff of the Air Force went out
to every combatant commander to re-validate individually the
requirement for airborne battle management as a critical
component of their war plans. That was validated across all the
combatant commanders . . . [a]s the [former] air component
commander for Central Command, I will tell you that I used that
platform in a number of ways, in addition to what is
traditionally considered, you know, airborne battle management
of the air-ground fight. I used it in the maritime domain
covering the Straits of Hormuz. So first and foremost, we
validated that airborne battle management is a critical
requirement from the combatant commanders and we need to move
out on that. Now the challenge becomes a technology discussion,
which is at what point do we transition and can we transition
this to an unmanned platform of the future, versus a man[ned]
platform. And the reality is that technology that we would need
to put on an unmanned platform doesn't currently exist to get
the same capability that we provide the combatant commanders
today. It's just not miniaturized enough. It just can't give
the same level of fidelity of the ground moving target
indicator that the JSTARS does today. So the Air Force's
position for two reasons. One, we don't have the technology to
put it on a manned platform, and two, airborne battle
management is a critical requirement. We need to push forward
with a manned airborne platform. We have the funding in this
budget to do that.''
The conferees look forward to hearing how the Air Force
intends to provide the vitally important capabilities of
airborne battle management, command and control, intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance that the current E-8 JSTARS
provides our combatant commanders. Until then, the conferees
expect the Secretary of the Air Force to not take any actions
that would adversely affect the JSTARS Recap program.
Limitation on selection of single contractor for C-130H avionics
modernization program increment 2 (sec. 134)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 132) that
would prohibit the Department of the Air Force from selecting a
single contractor for the C-130H Avionics Modernization Program
Increment 2 until the Secretary of the Air Force certifies that
every opportunity will be taken to make use of commercial-off-
the-shelf technology solutions and non-developmental items and
that excessively restrictive military specification standards
were not used as criteria to restrict or eliminate fair and
open competition.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Limitation on availability of funds for EC-130H Compass Call
recapitalization program (sec. 135)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 133) that
would prohibit the obligation and expenditure of funds for the
EC-130H Compass Call recapitalization program until 30 days
after the Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology and
Logistics certifies to the congressional defense committees
that the Under Secretary has reviewed the acquisition strategy
and has determined that it meets all applicable laws,
guidelines and best practices.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would only
limit the obligation of funds.
The conferees note that Congress supported the Air
Force's request in 2016 to re-host the primary mission
equipment of the current EC-130H aircraft on a more
operationally effective and survivable airborne platform to
meet combatant commander requirements. The conferees continue
to support that decision.
However, the conferees are concerned with the Air Force's
decision to contract with a third-party contractor who will
perform both the selection of the aircraft as well as the
integration of the re-host equipment. The Air Force will
contract for all of the re-hosting effort through the 645th
Aeronautical Systems Group, also known as Big Safari. While the
conferees acknowledge that Big Safari has provided great value
in the past and is an essential tool in providing rapid
capability to the warfighter, they believe that the size and
scope of the Compass Call re-host program exceeds what is
appropriate for Big Safari.
Further, the conferees are concerned that the Air Force
is increasingly using the unique and flexible authorities
allowed within Big Safari in a manner that is not consistent
with its key tenets. While the conferees believe that Big
Safari is an efficient tool to integrate equipment on existing
platforms, the conferees believe that the selection of the
airframe in the projected quantities is an inherently
governmental function that should not have been outsourced to
Big Safari or a third-party contractor.
Additionally, the conferees were unimpressed with Air
Force's assertion that the basis of the acquisition was an
urgent and compelling justification, combined with a meager
Compass Call recapitalization plan of one aircraft a year.
The conferees expect the Air Force to: (1) exercise
better judgement in the future in using Big Safari program
authorities; (2) pursue a full and open competition strategy
for selecting contractor teams for future airframe
modernization efforts; and (3) avoid utilizing selection of a
third-party contractor to circumvent acquisition best
practices.
Limitation on retirement of U-2 and RQ-4 aircraft (sec. 136)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1034) that
would repeal section 133 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) regarding
limitation on retirement of U-2 aircraft and would prohibit the
Department of Defense from retiring either the U-2 or RQ-4
aircraft until at least fiscal year 2024.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would condition
replacement of either high-altitude intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft by integrating into the
baseline text of section 133 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (P.L. 112-81) the same
divestment criteria for the RQ-4 that currently applies to the
U-2.
The conferees note that both aircraft are considered
high-demand/low-density ISR capabilities that are essential for
contributing to combatant commanders' high-altitude ISR
requirements and should remain in the Air Force inventory until
a suitable replacement can be developed that: meets or exceeds
current high-altitude ISR capabilities; does not result in a
reduction of current high-altitude ISR capacity; and, would not
result in increased operational and support costs unless the
increased capability is justified by the Secretary of Defense's
analysis. Finally, the conferees direct the Secretary of the
Air Force to provide the congressional defense committees by
February 15, 2018, a 10-year aircraft, aircraft sub-system(s),
and aircraft sensor modernization and sustainment plan for both
the U-2 and the RQ-4.
Cost-benefit analysis of upgrades to MQ-9 Reaper aircraft (sec. 137)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 134) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Secretary of the Air Force, to conduct a cost-benefit
analysis that compares upgrading MQ-9 Reaper aircraft to a
Block 5 configuration to procurement of MQ-9B aircraft instead.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Plan for modernization of the radar for F-16 fighter aircraft of the
National Guard (sec. 138)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5101)
that would direct the Secretary of the Air Force to develop,
and provide a report on, a plan to modernize the radars of F-16
fighter aircraft of the National Guard.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Comptroller General review of Air Force fielding plan for HH-60
replacement programs (sec. 139)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 132)
that would direct the Comptroller General of the United States
to review the Air Force's plan for fielding HH-60 helicopter
replacement programs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Subtitle E--Defense-Wide, Joint, and Multiservice Matters
F-35 economic order quantity contracting authority (sec. 141)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into
contracts for economic order quantities of material and
equipment for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program once the
Secretary certifies the contract meets certain conditions.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
141) that would also require the completion of a cost analysis
performed by the Director of Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation (CAPE) prior to the authority being exercised.
The House recedes with an amendment that would allow CAPE
until March 1, 2018 to complete their cost analysis.
The conferees believe a March 1, 2018 deadline allows
sufficient time for CAPE to complete their analysis. However,
should more time be needed, the conferees expect to receive an
update on CAPE's preliminary findings in advance of a final
report.
Authority for explosive ordnance disposal units to acquire new or
emerging technologies and capabilities (sec. 142)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 142)
that would permit the Secretary of Defense to provide Explosive
Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units with the authority to acquire new
or emerging EOD technologies and capabilities not listed in the
Table of Allowance or Table of Equipment.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to consult with the military service
chiefs prior to permitting the authority.
Requirement that certain aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles use
specified standard data link (sec. 143)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that
would amend section 157 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Reinstatement of requirement to preserve certain C-5 aircraft; mobility
capability and requirements study (sec. 144)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 143) that
would reinstate the requirement for the Secretary of the Air
Force to continue to preserve certain C-5 aircraft in a storage
condition that would allow a recall of retired aircraft to
future service.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the
number of aircraft required to be kept in the requisite
condition, remove the condition that the aircraft are kept in a
flyable condition and add a sunset to the provision 30 days
after the congressional defense committees receive the Mobility
Capability Requirements Study due to be completed 30 September
2018 as outlined on p. 32 of House report accompanying H.R.
2810 (H. Rept. 115-200) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Limitation on availability of funds for Arleigh Burke class destroyer
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 126) that
would limit the obligation of certain funds to procure new air
and missile defense radars for Arleigh Burke class destroyers
unless the radars are AN/SPY-6(V) radar modular assembly (RMA)
based.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Extensions of authorities relating to construction of certain vessels
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 127) that
would extend incremental funding authorities for Ford-class
aircraft carriers and LHA replacement ships.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Streamlining acquisition of intercontinental ballistic missile security
capability
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 131) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive any provision
of law requiring the use of competitive procedures for the
procurement of a UH-1N helicopter replacement and enter into a
contract for the procurement on a sole-source basis.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the Secretary of the Air Force
submitted a report to Congress on September 25, 2014, that
stated the UH-1N was not effective in accomplishing its
assigned missions. The conferees also note that on March 2,
2016, at a hearing before the Committee on Armed Services of
the House of Representatives, the Commander of Air Force Global
Strike Command stated, ``We will not meet the emergency
security response with the present helicopter.'' Finally, the
conferees note that at a hearing before the Committee on Armed
Services of the Senate, the Commander of the United States
Strategic Command stated, ``We ought to be able to go out and
buy a helicopter and put it in the hands of people who need it.
And we should be able to do that quickly.''
The conferees note that the Air Force has the authority
to procure helicopters under an existing U.S. Army multi-year
procurement contract under the Economy Act of 1932 (31 U.S.C.
1535 and 1536). The conferees have previously urged the
Secretary of the Air Force to consider using this authority as
the most prudent method to rapidly field the necessary
capability, but the Department of Defense and the Air Force
have said that, by taking certain mitigating steps, there would
be time to implement an acquisition strategy for replacing the
UH-1Ns using competition.
The Air Force is executing that competition strategy, has
received bids, and is currently in the source selection
process, despite an additional delay caused by the decision of
the Air Force to re-issue the draft request in April of 2017.
The conferees: (1) urge the Air Force to examine approaches to
expedite the UH-1N replacement program, and to make sure there
is no delay in awarding a contract award to begin this
modernization program as soon as possible to meet urgent
security needs; (2) expect that the Air Force will maintain the
current schedule and have this program under contract in fiscal
year 2018 as the acting Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics certified to the
congressional defense committees on February 8, 2017; and (3)
direct the Secretary of the Air Force to notify the
congressional defense committees promptly should the Secretary
discover that there is likely to be any delay beyond the
current schedule. Such notification shall include options for
changing the acquisition program to enable the Air Force to
meet the previous schedule, including options that may require
a legislative solution.
Authority to increase primary aircraft authorization of Air Force and
Air National Guard A-10 aircraft units for purposes of
facilitating A-10 conversion
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 133)
that would authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to increase
the primary aircraft authorization of the Air Force Reserve or
Air National Guard A-10 units to 24 aircraft to facilitate a
unit conversion.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the Secretary of the Air Force
currently has the authority prescribed in the Senate provision
and thus no further legislation is required.
Increase in amounts for enhancing intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance capability
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 135) that
included an increase of $23.1 million in line number 56 of
aircraft procurement, Air Force, for the E-8. The provision
would provide as an offset a decrease of $23.1 million in line
number 50 of aircraft procurement, Air Force, for the OC-135B.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Limitation on demilitarization of certain cluster munitions
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 142) that
would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from eliminating
cluster munitions from the Department of Defense (DOD)
inventory pending a certification. Under a Memorandum of the
Secretary of Defense, dated June 19, 2008, stockpiles
considered to be non-compliant were to be eliminated from the
inventory after January 1, 2019. The Secretary of Defense would
have to certify that the Department retains sufficient
inventory levels of operationally suitable cluster munitions
that comply with the Department's current policy, and meets at
least 75 percent of the U.S. combatant commands operational
requirements across the full range of military operational
environments.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees believe, and Combatant Commanders have
testified, that cluster munitions provide the military services
with an effective capability to engage area targets, including
massed formations of enemy forces. The conferees understand
that the Secretary of Defense, through the Joint Staff, may
soon adjust the Department's current policy, established in the
2008 Memorandum, to a policy that would prevent the DOD from
removing non-compliant cluster munitions from active
inventories and demilitarized only after their capabilities
have been replaced by sufficient quantities of policy-compliant
cluster munitions. The conferees believe that since the 2008
policy memorandum was signed, the global security environment
has changed, and that several years of budgets have under-
invested in replacement or policy compliant cluster munition
systems. Absent waivers, the previous policy had the potential
of depriving Combatant Commanders of the best available options
in future conflicts. The conferees expect that any changes to
the policy related to cluster munitions will be made in
consultation with the congressional defense committees, and
note that the conferees reserve the right to transition the
requirement to retain sufficient levels of policy compliant
cluster munitions into statute in future legislative actions,
if necessary.
Littoral Combat Ship
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14015)
that would increase the amount authorized for the Littoral
Combat Ship program by $600.0 million and increase the

the version of the system requirements document the program
requirements are fixed to and give the Chief of Staff of the
Air Force the authority to make adjustments to the capability
requirements, subject to certain limitations, vice the
Secretary of the Air Force.
Capital investment authority (sec. 212)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 212) that
would amend section 2208(k)(2) of title 10, United States Code,
to raise the limit on in-house capital purchases using defense
working capital funds from $250,000 to $500,000.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would restrict
the limit increase to a major range and test facility
installation or a science and technology reinvention
laboratory, but maintains the $250,000 limit for other types of
facilities utilizing this authority.
Prizes for advanced technology achievements (sec. 213)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 213) that
would amend section 2374a of title 10, United States Code, to
make permanent the Secretary of Defense's authority to award
prizes for advanced technology achievements, to allow for the
award of non-monetary awards, and to authorize the acceptance
of non-monetary items from other parts of the Federal
Government, from State government, and from non-governmental
sources.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
214) that would amend section 2374a of title 10, United States
Code, which authorizes the defense research enterprise to carry
out programs to award prizes in recognition of outstanding
achievements in basic, advanced, and applied research,
technology development, and prototype development that have the
potential for application to the performance of the military
missions of the Department of Defense (DOD). The provision
would also authorize the Department to accept funds from the
private sector to help fund prize awards and reduce the overall
cost of prize competitions.
The House recedes with technical amendments to clarify
several aspects of the new authority for non-monetary awards.
Joint Hypersonics Transition Office (sec. 214)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 215) that
would re-designate the ``Joint Technology Office on
Hypersonics'' as the ``Joint Hypersonics Transition Office'',
with the responsibility to coordinate and integrate programs,
ensure coordination of current and future programs of the
Department of Defense on hypersonics, and approve
demonstrations.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
235) that would express the sense of Congress that the
Department of Defense should expedite testing, evaluation, and
acquisition of hypersonic weapon systems to meet the stated
needs of the warfighter; that the United States cannot afford
to lose its advantage over foreign countries in developing
hypersonic weapons; and that the Department of Defense should
focus on the next generation of weapon systems such as
hypersonics.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand
the stated responsibilities of the newly designated office.
Department of Defense directed energy weapon system prototyping and
demonstration program (sec. 215)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 219)
that would designate the Under Secretary of Defense for
Research and Engineering as the official with principal
responsibility for development and demonstration of directed
energy weapons, pursuant to section 219(a)(1) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328). The provision would also authorize funds to be used
exclusively for high energy laser and high power microwave
prototyping and demonstrations, but withhold 50 percent of
those funds until the Under Secretary develops and submits to
Congress a strategic plan.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would make
technical, clarifying changes to the provision.
Appropriate use of authority for prototype projects (sec. 216)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 225) that

that would require the Department of Defense to refine the
process of updating mission data files used in advanced combat
aircraft so that they may be updated more quickly.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Support for national security innovation and entrepreneurial education
(sec. 225)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 222) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a Hacking
for Defense program under which the Secretary may obligate or
expend up to $15,000,000 to support university-based
entrepreneurial education programs, including: (A) materials to
recruit veterans for such programs; (B) model curriculum for
such programs; (C) training materials for such programs; and
(D) best practices for the conduct of such programs.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
10201) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to support
national security innovation and entrepreneurial education
programs. The provision would also authorize the Secretary to
develop and maintain metrics to assess these activities and
ensure that any recipient of a small business award has the
option to participate in training under this program.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
the existing Department of Defense activities with which the
Secretary of Defense should consider coordinating and
partnering in executing the activities of this program.
The conferees recognize that the ability of the
Department of Defense to respond to evolving national security
challenges would benefit by a workforce that is increasingly
exposed to, and has an understanding of, modern problem-solving
techniques and innovative methodologies. The conferees also
believe that by presenting national security problems to
universities and education centers, increasingly diverse
stakeholder participation will aid in the rapid development of
solutions to national security challenges and improve
Department of Defense recruitment of young technologists and
engineers with critical skill sets, including cyber
capabilities. These sorts of programs may also be useful in
providing a unique pathway for veterans, federal employees, and
military personnel to leverage their training, experience, and
expertise to solve emerging national security challenges while
learning cutting-edge business innovation methodologies.
Limitation on cancellation of designation Executive Agent for a certain
Defense Production Act program (sec. 226)

also establish that the Secretary of Defense shall not change
the assigned Department of Defense Executive Agent for the
program prior to briefing the appropriate committees of
jurisdiction.
Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters
Columbia-class program accountability matrices (sec. 231)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that
would deem certain Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine
components as critical technologies.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
submittal and periodic updates of matrices on Columbia-class
cost, design and construction goals. The Comptroller General of
the United States would be required to review and assess each
periodic update. The amendment would also repeal section 131 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016
(Public Law 114-92).
Review of barriers to innovation in research and engineering activities
of the Department of Defense (sec. 232)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 220)
that would require the establishment of a process under which
the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering
would review and modify Department of Defense regulations that
would adversely affect the innovative capacity of the DOD.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to provide an annual report to the
congressional defense committees, developed in coordination
with relevant Under Secretaries and Service Secretaries,
describing specific impediments to innovation and methods by
which to address such impediments. The report shall also
articulate the process for review of directives, rules,
regulations, and other policies for their potential to
adversely affect the ability of the research and engineering
enterprise of the Department of Defense to execute its
designated missions.
Pilot program to improve incentives for technology transfer from
Department of Defense laboratories (sec. 233)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 223) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretary of Energy, to conduct a pilot program among
defense laboratories (as defined in section 2199 of title 10,
United States Code), national laboratories (as defined in
section 188(f) of title 10, United States Code), and private
entities to facilitate the licensure, transfer, and
commercialization of innovative technologies.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
5202) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish
a pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of
distributing royalties and other payments to the inventors or
co-inventors of technologies whose rights are directly assigned
to the United States. The pilot program under this section
would terminate five years after the date of the enactment of
this Act.
The House recedes.
The conferees are aware that questions have been raised
regarding the transfer of some technology developed by the
national laboratories when using Department of Defense funding.
The conferees therefore direct the Administrator for Nuclear
Security and the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to
the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and House of
Representatives no later than January 30, 2018. This briefing
should address plans to improve opportunities for technology
transfer with regard to defense technology that was developed
by the nuclear security laboratories for the Department of
Defense or military services, including a description of which
agency owns such technology and opportunities for coordination
to facilitate technology transfer, as appropriate.
Competitive acquisition plan for low probability of detection data link
networks (sec. 234)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 231)
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD AT&L) (or its
successor) and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(VCJCS) to provide a plan for a competitive acquisition process
to procure a secure, low probability of detection data link
network capability.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would specify
that the USD AT&L and VCJCS provide the defense committees
potential acquisition strategies and would change the
limitation of funds from the offices of the Secretary of
Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the
offices of the Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of
the Navy.
Clarification of selection dates for pilot program for the enhancement
of the research, development, test, and evaluation centers of
the Department of Defense (sec. 235)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 232)
that would make clarifications and edits to the laboratory
management demonstration program established in section 233 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017
(Public Law 114-328). The provision would clarify the date
limitations for consideration of an application to join the
pilot program, and it would also clarify that any proposals
pursuant to the pilot program shall be submitted to the
appropriate assistant secretary.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Requirement for a plan to build a prototype for a new ground combat
vehicle for the Army (sec. 236)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 233)
that would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees on a plan to build a
prototype for a new ground combat vehicle within 90 days of the
enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of the Army to submit its plan not later than
February 1, 2018.
The conferees encourage the Secretary of the Army to use
all available acquisition authorities to the fullest extent
possible to plan to build a prototype for a new ground combat
vehicle. The conferees are interested in how the Army intends
to exploit the latest enabling component technologies that have
the potential to dramatically change basic combat vehicle
design and improve lethality, protection, mobility, range, and
sustainment. The required report should include an analysis of
capabilities of the most advanced foreign ground combat
vehicles and whether any have characteristics that should
inform the development of the Army's prototype vehicle,
including whether any U.S. allies or partners have advanced
capabilities that could be directly incorporated in the
prototype. Such technologies would include vehicle active
protection systems with hard and soft kill capabilities,
reactive armor, composite armor, thermal signature reduction,
noise reduction, fuel cell propulsion, opposed-piston engines,
32 speed transmissions, suspension, power generation, voltage
management, 3rd generation forward looking infrared sights,
integrated hostile fire detection, manned-unmanned teaming,
automatic loaders, munitions, and cannons.
Plan for successfully fielding the Integrated Air and Missile Defense
Battle Command System (sec. 237)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 234)
that would require the Secretary of the Army to submit to the
congressional defense committees a plan to successfully field a
suitable, survivable, and effective Integrated Air and Missile
Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) program. The committee
directs the Secretary to submit this plan within 180 days of
the enactment of this Act. Furthermore, none of the funds
authorized may be obligated until receipt of the Army's report.
The House Bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of the Army to submit its plan not later than
February 1, 2018. The amendment also stipulates that not more
than 50 percent of the funds authorized may be obligated by the
Secretary of the Army.
The conferees are concerned that this developmental
program is not meeting schedule and performance objectives
after having become a program of record over 7 years ago. The
conferees are aware that the Army has delayed a Milestone C
decision for limited production for 4 years.
Given that the Army has already expended over $2.1
billion on this program with the expected requirement to spend
much more, the conferees are concerned current software will
soon become obsolete before a functional IBCS is fielded.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Codification and enhancement of authorities to provide funds for
defense laboratories for research and development of
technologies for military missions
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 212)
that would amend chapter 139 of title 10, United States Code,
to codify the research authorities of the defense laboratories
originally established in section 219 of the Duncan Hunter
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public
Law 110-417) and improved and made permanent in subsequent
legislation.
The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec.
10202) that would remove force and effect from section 212.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the codification of these
authorities is contained elsewhere in this Act.
Hypersonic airbreathing weapons capabilities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 216) that
would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer oversight and
management of the Hypersonic Airbreathing Weapons Concept from
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to an entity of
the Air Force.

The Senate recedes.
Limitation on availability of funds for contract writing systems
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 218) that
would limit the availability of funds for contract writing
systems.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees remain concerned that the military services
continue to procure individual, functionally stove-piped
business systems when there appear to be efficiencies and cost-
savings that might be gained by consolidating acquisitions
around areas with similar requirements. The conferees are
encouraged by the Department of Defense's efforts to take a
portfolio approach to contract-writing systems. The conferees
recognize the challenge in reducing and consolidating the
overall numbers of systems based on the lack of sustained focus
on overall information technology modernization, but the
burgeoning focus on data transparency vice systems integration
indicates that this problem may be surmountable over time as
current practices take hold within the Department.
Based on the progress in this area, the conferees
encourage the Department to initiate or accelerate such efforts
in other areas, to include personnel and pay, financial
management, and enterprise resource programs. In addition to a
portfolio approach, the conferees believe that these
initiatives could be accelerated by leveraging the use of
fixed-price contracting, pursuing the use of commercial-off-
the-shelf solutions that minimize customization, and more
frequent delivery of increments.
The conferees also encourage the Department to leverage
the pilot program for agile and iterative development for
software systems elsewhere in this Act as a means to test out
some of the concepts, and to serve as a pathfinder for other
programs.
Strategy for use of virtual training technology
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 219) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to direct the head of
each military department to establish a comprehensive strategy
to determine what capability gaps exist in the department that
can be rectified with virtual training; to review the virtual
training possibilities for this gap to determine what virtual
training would rectify this gap most efficiently; and to
determine what acquisitions would need to be made to acquire
the correct amount of technology to achieve desired goals.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Increase in funding for electronics and electronic devices of the Army
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 220) that
would increase funding for Applied Research, Electronics and
Electronic Devices.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Increase in funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities
and Minority Institutions
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 221) that
would authorize funds to be appropriated in section 4201 for
research, development, test, and evaluation, Defense-wide, as
specified in the corresponding funding table in section 4201,
for Basic Research, Historically Black Colleges and
Universities/Minority Institutions, Line 006, to increase by
$4,135,000.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
236) that would authorize funds to be appropriated in Research,
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide, PE 61228D8Z,
section 4201, for Basic Research, Historically Black Colleges
and Universities/Minority Institutions, Line 006, to increase
by $12,000,000.
The House recedes.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that historically black colleges and
universities (HBCUs) and minority-serving institutions (MSI)
play a vital role in educating diverse and underrepresented
students in areas of national security need, particularly in
areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. For
many years, these institutions have been collaborating with the
Department of Defense in research and development efforts that
contribute to the defense readiness and national security of
the nation. The conferees have supported both greater
participation among HBCU/MSI, as well as increased
opportunities within the Department of Defense to find means to
leverage that expertise more broadly, such as through
internships, outside review committees and advisory groups.
Furthermore, the conferees recognize that these
institutions are vital in developing the next generation of
scientists and engineers who will help lead the Department of
Defense in addressing high-priority national security
challenges. It is important to further engage HBCUs and
minority-serving institutions in university research and
innovation, especially in prioritizing software development and
cyber security by utilizing existing Department of Defense
labs, and collaborating with existing programs that help
attract candidates, including programs like the Air Force
Minority Leaders Programs, which recruit Americans from diverse
background to serve their country through service in our
Nation's military.
The conferees also note that although these provisions
are not adopted, the increase in funds authorized by them is
still included in the funding tables in Section 4201.
STEM(MM) jobs action plan
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 224) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the
Secretary of each military department to perform an assessment
of the science, technology, engineering, math, maintenance, and
manufacturing (STEM(MM)) workforce for organizations within the
Department of Defense, including the numbers and types of
positions and the expectations for losses due to retirements
and voluntary departures; identify the types and quantities of
STEM(MM) jobs needed to support future mission work; determine
the shortfall between lost STEM(MM) personnel and future
requirements; analyze and explain the appropriateness and
impact of using reimbursable and working capital fund dollars
for new STEM(MM) hires; identify a plan of action to address
the STEM(MM) jobs gap, including hiring strategies and
timelines for replacement of STEM(MM) employees; and deliver to

The conferees note that jobs in STEM(MM) make up a
significant portion of the workforce of the Department of
Defense. Many of these jobs exist within the organic industrial
base, research, development, and engineering centers, life-
cycle management commands, and logistics centers of the
Department, and are thus vital to the mission of all of the
military services. Because the demographics of personnel of the
Department indicate that many of the STEM(MM) personnel of the
Department will be eligible to retire in the next few years,
the conferees believe the Department should be taking decisive,
proactive action to ensure there is sufficient personnel for
these areas, and that any further skills and knowledge gap does
not lead to a serious readiness gap.

Environmental oversight and remediation at Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage
Facility
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 344)
that would express the sense of Congress that the Red Hill Bulk
Fuel Storage Facility located on Oahu, Hawaii is a national
strategic asset.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the strategic value of the Red Hill
Bulk Fuel Storage Facility that supports combatant commander
theater security requirements, contingency operations, and
provides essential and timely support to the United States and
allies' military mobilization, routine movements, and disaster
response efforts in the Indo-Asia-Pacific and around the world.
The conferees note that the facility in its current form cannot
be replicated anywhere else in the world. Moving the fuel to
another storage facility in the Indo-Asia-Pacific would have
implications for the United States military force structure in
the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. If the facility were closed, the
United States Armed Forces would be unable to support the
National Military Strategy, including the goals of the United
States Pacific Commander, and national security interests would
be significantly undermined.
The conferees note that constant vigilance is required to
ensure that facility degradation and fuel leaks do not pose a
threat to the people of Hawaii, especially the drinking water
on Oahu, and despite its importance, the bulk fuel storage
facility continues to face long-term challenges without robust
and consistent funding that provides the Navy and the Defense
Logistics Agency the resources needed to improve the fuel
storage tanks and associated infrastructure. Accordingly, the
conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure the annual
budget justification materials submitted to Congress includes a
description of how the Department will request and use funds to
support any deliverables that the parties of the Administrative
Order on Consent have agreed are necessary to ensure the
continued safe operation of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage
Facility and prevent future fuel leaks into the environment.

(dual status) and those technicians converted to civilian

would temporarily prohibit the Secretary of Defense from
further reducing the basic allowance for housing (BAH) below
the level established for fiscal year 2018 for service members

housing until 2019. The provision would also require the

Representatives on the Department of Defense's management of
MHPI and plans and alternatives considered for ensuring the

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The conferees strongly believe that military families
must be provided with on-base housing that is safe, properly
maintained, and periodically modernized. The current MHPI
agreements are structured to include the recapitalization
effort through receipt of the service members BAH as calculated
for the military housing area by the Department of Defense.
Section 403(b) of title 37 requires a 1% reduction in the BAH
rate per year starting in 2015 until the total reduction is 5%
below the calculated rate. The reduction for 2018 would total
4%. The conferees note that the BAH reduction will have an
effect on the long-term recapitalization effort for MHPI
housing. The Senate amendment would require the Department of
Defense to pay to lessors of MHPI projects in 2018 the
equivalent of 1 percent of BAH, effectively nullifying the 2018
reduction for those projects. Upon completion of the
Comptroller General's report, the conferees expect the
Secretary of Defense, and the military services together with
their MHPI partners, to review the report, and develop a plan
to ensure the solvency and viability of MHPI projects in a
manner that does not depend on out-of-pocket contributions by
service members who reside in MHPI housing. The conferees
believe strongly that this is a problem that the military
services and their MHPI partners must solve together, within
the next year, project-by-project if necessary. The conferees
direct the Department, upon devising plan described herein, to
brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the
House of Representatives on that plan.
Housing treatment for certain members of the Armed Forces, and their
spouses and other dependents, undergoing a permanent change of
station within the United States (sec. 604)

that would amend chapter 7 of title 37, United States Code, to
require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations that
permit certain servicemembers undergoing permanent change of
station relocations within the United States to request special
housing treatment for spouses and dependents. Under this
provision, certain spouses and dependents would be: (1)
Eligible to continue living in government-owned or government-
leased housing; and (2) Eligible for early housing in
government-owned or government-leased housing. This provision
would also authorize a servicemember to be eligible, on a
space-available basis, either for temporary use of government-
owned or government-leased housing or an equitable basic
allowance for housing if a spouse or other dependent relocates
at a different time from the member. This provision would be
effective on October 1, 2018.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 603).
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Extension of authority to provide temporary increase in rates of basic
allowance for housing under certain circumstances (sec. 605)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 602)
that would extend for 1 year the authority of the Secretary of

for Housing in areas impacted by natural disasters or

The House recedes.

Island (sec. 606)

requirement in section 334 of title 37, United States Code, for
the services to submit business cases analyses for their

retention among Air Force pilots.
Special aviation incentive pay and bonus authorities for enlisted
members who pilot remotely piloted aircraft (sec. 617)

The House recedes.
Subtitle C--Disability Pay, Retired Pay, and Survivor Benefits
Permanent extension and cost-of-living adjustments of special survivor
indemnity allowances under the Survivor Benefit Plan (sec. 621)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 621) that
would express the sense of Congress that the Special Survivor
Indemnity Allowance was created as a stop gap measure to assist
widowed spouses by reducing the Survivor Benefit Plan/
Dependency Indemnity Compensation offset required by law.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 638)
that would amend section 1450 of title 10, United States Code,
to permanently extend the authority to pay the Special Survivor

designated by such secretary.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Construction of domestic source requirement for footwear furnished to
enlisted members of the Armed Forces on initial entry into the

that would modify the requirements to furnish footwear to
enlisted members of the Armed Forces on initial entry if the

establish practices and take all necessary steps to protect
service members in initial entry training from unnecessary
injuries.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Review and update of regulations governing debt collectors interactions
with unit commanders of members of the Armed Forces (sec. 634)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1074) that
would that would require the Secretary of Defense, no later
than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to
review and update Department of Defense Instruction 1344.09 and
any associated regulations to ensure that such regulations
comply with Federal consumer protection laws with respect to
the collection of debt.
The Senate amendment contained an identical provision
(sec. 653).
The conference agreement includes this provision.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
Adjustment to Basic Allowance for Housing at with dependents rate of
certain members of the uniformed services
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 603)
that would amend section 403 of title 37, United States Code,
to eliminate the with-dependents rate for the Basic Allowance
for Housing (BAH) in the case of married members of the
uniformed services who are collocated and who have dependents.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees remain committed to the requirement in
section 604 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) that the Department of
Defense report on the feasibility of a single salary
compensation system for service members in lieu of the current
system of basic pay and allowances. The conferees understand
that the Department intends to address these questions as part
of its next Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation (QRMC).
The conferees direct, as an interim step, the Secretary of
Defense to deliver to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and House of Representatives a description, by no later
than April 1, 2018, of their intended work on this matter,
including those elements of compensation that will be included
in the review, the full scope of options with respect to the
single-payer system that will be considered, the methodology by
which the Department will assess the feasibility of such a
change, and the expected delivery date of the QRMC, together
with the identification of any other matters the Secretary
believes need to be addressed in the course of this review.
Finally, the conferees direct the Secretary to provide with the
report required above a representative table of regular
military compensation by grade, years of service, and a
sampling of the most common military housing areas within the
United States.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 604) that
would prohibit a Secretary of a military department from
implementing a flat rate per diem policy for long term
temporary duty described in a certain policy memorandum.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 addressed this per diem
issue by authorizing the Secretary concerned to waive the
reduced flat rate per diem and pay travelers actual expenses up
to the full per diem if the Secretary concerned determines that
the reduced flat rate per diem for meals and incidental
expenses is insufficient under the circumstances of the TDY
assignment. The conferees also note the lack of evidence that
shows the current system is causing financial hardship on
military and civilian employees on long term TDY assignment, or
is otherwise impacting volunteerism among civilians for
critical missions.
Modification of authority of President to determine alternative pay
adjustment in annual basic pay of members of the uniformed
services
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 604)
that would amend section 1009(e) of title 37, United States
Code, to remove the justification of serious economic
conditions affecting the general welfare from the waiver
authority of the President to make an alternative pay
adjustment.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.

services in the Virgin Islands

apply the basic allowance for housing to members of the
uniformed services to those serving in the Virgin Islands.
The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the Overseas Housing Allowance
applies uniformly to all overseas and territorial locations and
believe this is currently the most appropriate policy.
Reimbursement for state licensure and certification costs of a member
of the Armed Forces arising from separation from the Armed
Forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 616) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
Homeland Security to reimburse a servicemember up to $500 for
re-licensing costs incurred upon separation from the Armed
Forces. In addition, the provision would require the service
secretaries to work with the states to improve portability of
licenses between states and to report recommendations on this
matter to the appropriate congressional committees and the
states.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees recognize that programs and resources exist
that provide servicemembers with certifications and licenses
related to their military training, most notably the
credentialing program under section 2015 of title 10, United
States Code, as well as resources and benefits to acquire new
skills and education while off-duty, such as the Tuition
Assistance Program. Moreover, there are numerous education and
transition benefits available for veterans and their families
under the purview of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the
Department of Labor, and other Federal agencies. The conferees
direct the Comptroller General of the United States to assess
the panoply of benefits and programs available government-wide
to separating servicemembers intended to provide the skills and
education necessary for such members to achieve meaningful and
fulfilling employment in their civilian lives, and to report to
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives on the results of that assessment by no later
than October 1, 2018, including such recommendations for
congressional action as the Comptroller General may have to
ensure such benefits and programs achieve their intended
purpose while avoiding unnecessary duplication of effort among
the Federal agencies.
Increase in maximum amount of aviation bonus for 12-month period of
obligated service
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 617) that
would amend section 334(c)(1)(B) of title 37, United States
Code, to increase the statutory limits for the aviation
retention bonus to $50,000 and allow the Secretary concerned
the flexibility to increase the aviation incentive pay limit
set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Defense
under section 374 of title 37, United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Report regarding management of military commissaries and exchanges
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 632) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees, within 180 days of the
date of the enactment of this Act, regarding management
practices of military commissaries and exchanges. The report
required under this section would include a cost-benefit
analysis with a goal of reducing the operational costs of
commissaries and exchanges by $2.0 billion in fiscal years 2018
through 2022 while not increasing patrons' costs.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
5602).
The Senate and House recede.
Section 634 of the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) required a
comprehensive, independent review of the defense commissary
system. Subsequently, section 651 of the NDAA for Fiscal Year
2016 (Public Law 114-92) required the Secretary of Defense to
develop a plan to obtain budget neutrality for the defense
commissary and the military exchange systems, and to include in
the development of this plan consideration of the report
required by section 634 of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2015. The
Department delivered to Congress the report required by section
634 on August 26, 2015, and delivered the plan to achieve
budget savings required by section 651 in May of 2016. Based on
the recommendations from these efforts, Congress subsequently
enacted a number of reforms to achieve savings in the
commissary system (and thereby lowering the appropriated fund
subsidy to the commissary system), including variable pricing
authority, authority to sell private label products, and
authority to convert the commissary system to a non-
appropriated fund activity. In light of the extensive reports
already required by Congress and delivered by the Department in
this area, and the enactment of cost saving measures as
recommended by those reports, the conferees believe there is
little additional benefit to be gained by requiring the
Department to submit another report assessing methods of
achieving cost savings in the commissary and military exchange
systems.
Promotion of financial literacy concerning retirement among members of
the Armed Forces
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 633)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop programs
of financial literacy for members of the Armed Forces to assist
members in better understanding retirement options and planning
for retirement.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Inclusion of Department of Agriculture in Transition Assistance Program

that would amend subsection (a) of section 1144 of title 10,

provided by the Department of Agriculture in the Transition
Assistance Program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Report on use of second-destination transportation to transport fresh
fruit and vegetables to commissaries in the Asia-Pacific region
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5601)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report
to the congressional defense committees, not later than 120
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, on second-
destination transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables to
commissaries in the Asia-Pacific region.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Sense of Senate on the use by exchange stores of small businesses as
suppliers
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10601)
that would express the sense of the Senate to urge the
Department of Defense's exchange stores to develop strategies
for featuring products of small businesses, especially products
of veteran-owned small businesses, in military exchange stores.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Element in next quadrennial review of military compensation on value
assigned by members of the Armed Forces to various aspects of
military compensation
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10603)
that would require the President to ensure that the first
quadrennial review of the principals and concepts of the
compensation system for members of the uniformed services under
section 1008(b) of title 37, United States Code, after the
enactment of this Act, include a review of the comparative
value members of the Armed Forces assign to various aspects of
military compensation.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the importance of servicemember
compensation preferences in designing a competitive military
compensation system capable of attracting and retaining high-
quality personnel for the all-volunteer force. The conferees
expect the Secretary of Defense to take servicemember
preferences into account when making recommendations to modify
the current compensation system in the forthcoming Quadrennial
Review of Military Compensation.
Title VII--Health Care Provisions
Subtitle A--TRICARE and Other Health Care Benefits
Continued access to medical care at facilities of the uniformed
services for certain members of the reserve components (sec.
701)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 702)
that would amend sections 1076d(f) and 1076e of title 10,
United States Code, to clarify the eligibility for medical
services for beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Reserve Select
and TRICARE Retired Reserve.

The House recedes.
Modifications of cost-sharing requirements for the TRICARE Pharmacy
Benefits Program and treatment of certain pharmaceutical agents
(sec. 702)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 706)
that would amend paragraph 6 of 1074g (a) of title 10, United
States Code, to modify cost-sharing amounts for the TRICARE
pharmacy benefits program for years 2018 through 2026. After
2026, the Department could establish cost-sharing amounts equal
to the cost-sharing amounts for the previous year adjusted by
an amount, if any, to reflect increases in costs of
pharmaceutical agents and pharmacy dispensing fees. With this
provision, beneficiaries would continue to receive
pharmaceuticals at no cost in military medical treatment
facilities. For years 2018 through 2020, the cost-share amount
for up to a 90-day supply of a generic pharmaceutical agent
dispensed through the mail order pharmacy would be $10, which
would partially cover the Department's administrative costs for
the drug and would result in a consistent drug cost-share with
generic drugs dispensed in retail pharmacies. Under this
provision, there would be no changes to cost-sharing amounts
for survivors of members who died on Active Duty or for
disabled retirees and their family members.
To encourage use of pharmaceutical agents that provide
the greatest value to beneficiaries and the Department, the
provision would authorize the Secretary of Defense, upon
recommendation from the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and
review by the Uniform Formulary Beneficiary Advisory Panel, to
exclude from the pharmacy benefits program any pharmaceutical
agent that the Secretary determines provides little or no value
to covered beneficiaries and the Department. Additionally, the
Secretary would give preferential status to any non-generic
pharmaceutical agent on the uniform formulary by treating it,
for the purposes of cost-sharing, as a generic product under
the TRICARE retail pharmacy and mail order programs. Finally,
the provision would amend section 1079 of title 10, United
States Code, to authorize the Secretary to adopt special
reimbursement methods, amounts, and procedures in medical
contracts to encourage physicians to use high-value
pharmaceutical agents and to discourage use of low-value
agents.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1)
Modify prescription drug cost-sharing amounts for the TRICARE
pharmacy benefits program for years 2018 through 2027; and (2)
Make a technical amendment.
Provision of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for certain members of the Armed
Forces (sec. 703)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that
would amend Chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to

therapy available at a military medical treatment facility to a
servicemember diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or
traumatic brain injury if a physician prescribes such therapy.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Specification that individuals under the age of 21 are eligible for
hospice care services under the TRICARE program (sec. 704)

Code, to authorize hospice care services for eligible
beneficiaries under the age of 21.
The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec.
5702) that would provide a rule of construction such that
Section 705 would have no force or effect. Additionally, this
provision would amend section 1079(a)(15) of title 10, United
States Code, to authorize hospice care services for eligible
beneficiaries under the age of 21 concurrently with health care
services or hospitalization for the same medical condition.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would amend
section 1079(a)(15) of title 10, United States Code, to
authorize hospice care services for eligible beneficiaries
under the age of 21 concurrently with health care services or
hospitalization for the same medical condition.
Physical examinations for members of a reserve component who are
separating from the Armed Forces (sec. 705)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that
would amend section 1145 of title 10, United States Code, to
require the service secretary to provide a physical examination
to a reserve component member during the 2-year period before
the date on which the member separates from the Armed Forces in
support of a contingency operation for a period of more than 30
days. The provision would require the Secretary to provide the
physical examination during the 90-day period before the
member's separation date and to provide a record of the
examination to the member. Under this provision, the member
would not be entitled to health benefits solely by reason of
receiving a physical examination.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend
section 1145 of title 10, United States Code, to require the
service secretary to provide a physical examination to a
reserve component member during the 2-year period before the
date on which the member separates from the Armed Forces in
support of a contingency operation for a period of more than 30
days, if the member would not otherwise receive such an
examination and elects an examination. The provision would
require the service secretary to provide the physical
examination during the 90-day period before the member's
separation date, to issue orders for the member to receive the
examination, and to provide a record of the examination to the
member. Under this provision, the member would not be entitled
to health benefits solely by reason of receiving a physical
examination.
Mental health assessments before members separate from the Armed Forces
(sec. 706)

the service secretary concerned to provide a mental health
assessment to servicemembers prior to separation from the Armed
Forces.

reserve components (sec. 707)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 706) that
would amend section 1720D(a)(2)(A) of title 38, United States
Code, to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, in
conjunction with the Secretary of Defense, to provide
counseling and care and services to members of the Armed Forces
to overcome psychological trauma stemming from sexual
harassment or sexual assault suffered by the member while
serving on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive
duty training.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
11001).
The Senate recedes.

that would require the Secretary of Defense to implement
processes and procedures to ensure a covered beneficiary under
the TRICARE program, whose pregnancy is complicated with a
fetal condition or suspected fetal condition, receives at the
discretion of the covered beneficiary, expedited evaluation,
non-directive counseling, and treatment from a perinatal or
pediatric specialist capable of providing surgical management
and intervention in utero.
The House bill contained no similar provision.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 712) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in carrying out section
1073d of title 10, United States Code, to ensure that each
military medical treatment facility (MTF) located outside the
United States maintains, at a minimum, the inpatient
capabilities of such facility as of September 30, 2016.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend
section 1073d of title 10, United States Code, to require the
Secretary of Defense to ensure that each MTF located outside
the United States maintains, at a minimum, inpatient
capabilities that the Secretary determines are similar to those
capabilities of such facility on September 30, 2016. The
provision would require the Secretary to maintain inpatient
capabilities at such facility until the day that is 180 days
after the Secretary provides a briefing to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
on proposed elimination of inpatient capabilities. The
provision would require the Secretary to certify in the
briefing that: (1) Host nation hospitals or medical centers
have agreed to provide inpatient capabilities that would be
eliminated at the MTF; (2) Servicemembers and covered
beneficiaries would receive quality health care, including case
management and translation services, at a host nation facility
within a reasonable distance, as determined by the Secretary;
(3) The Secretary has consulted with the appropriate geographic
combatant command in which the MTF is located to ensure that
proposed elimination of inpatient capabilities would have no
impact on operational plans; and (4) The Secretary will provide
servicemembers and covered beneficiaries receiving health care
services from the MTF with a transition plan for continuity of
health care and will provide a public forum to discuss their
concerns regarding a reduction of impatient capabilities at the
MTF.
Modification of priority for evaluation and treatment of individuals at
military treatment facilities (sec. 712)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 724) that
would amend section 717 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) by striking
subsection (d) and inserting new subsections to express a sense
of Congress on the eligibility of victims of acts of terror for
evaluation and treatment at military treatment facilities.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 721)
that would amend section 717(b) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to
authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive the priority of
covered beneficiaries to receive evaluation and treatment at
military treatment facilities in order to provide evaluation
and treatment for the following individuals: (1) Persons
severely wounded or injured by acts of terror in the United
States; or (2) Residents of the United States severely wounded
or injured by acts of terror outside the United States.
The House recedes.
Clarification of administration of military medical treatment
facilities (sec. 713)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that
would amend sections 1073c(a)(2), 3036(f), 5137(b), and 8036(b)
of title 10, United States Code, to clarify the roles and
responsibilities of military medical treatment facility (MTF)
commanders and the Services' Surgeons General.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 723)
that would amend section 1073c(a) of title 10, United States
Code, to clarify that the individual responsible for ensuring
readiness of members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees
of an MTF and for furnishing the healthcare and medical
treatment at that facility can be either a military or civilian
director under the authority, direction, and control of the
Defense Health Agency. Additionally, the provision would
authorize, if the Secretary of Defense determines it
appropriate, that a military director (or other senior military
officer or officers) of an MTF may be a commanding officer for
purposes of Chapter 47 of this title (the Uniformed Code of
Military Justice) with respect to military personnel assigned
to the MTF.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
that the individual responsible for ensuring readiness of
members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees of an MTF
and for furnishing the healthcare and medical treatment at that
facility can be either a military commander or director. The
provision would authorize, if the Secretary of Defense
determines it appropriate, that a military director (or other
senior military officer or officers) of an MTF may be a
commanding officer for purposes of Chapter 47 of this title
(the Uniformed Code of Military Justice) with respect to
military personnel assigned to the MTF.
The conferees voice concern with the Department's lack of
progress on the development of the implementation plan to
transition MTFs to the Defense Health Agency (DHA), as required
by section 702 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). Section 702 gave the DHA
broad responsibility for the administration and operation of
each MTF and limited the roles and responsibilities of each
Service Surgeon General in the direct care delivery system,
while maintaining their oversight of the operational medical
force readiness of their respective military services. The
Department's March and June 2017 interim reports to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives outlined the decision to establish a
``component model'' with the Services maintaining command and
control of MTFs through newly formed intermediary medical
commands under two separate lines of authority, one from the
Services and the other from the DHA.
The conferees believe the Department's attempt to
maintain current stove-piped organizational constructs risks
preserving inefficiencies in the military health system's (MHS)
command and governance structure. The conferees agree that
beneficiaries--Active-Duty servicemembers and their families,
retirees and their families--deserve an agile organizational
structure that adapts to their needs while ensuring vital
healthcare support to the warfighter wherever needed.
The conferees are resolutely committed to reforming the
organization and governance of the MHS. There are strong
concerns, however, regarding whether the component model, as
proposed, will lead to enhanced operational medical force
readiness, improved access to care, improved quality of care,
and a better experience of care that soldiers, sailors, airmen,
and marines (and their families) deserve. Therefore, the
conferees direct the Department to implement an organizational
construct that eliminates unnecessary organizational structures
and removes any possibility for the Department to maintain the
status quo in the MHS. The conferees will closely monitor the
Department's progress toward a unified, more efficient MHS
operating model and will not hesitate to direct a revised MHS
operating model if the component model fails to meet the
congressional intent of section 702 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.
Regular update of prescription drug pricing standard under TRICARE
retail pharmacy program (sec. 714)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 713) that
would amend section 1074g(d) of title 10, United States Code,
to require the Secretary of Defense to include requirements
described in section 1860D-12(b)(6) of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. 1395w-112(b)(6)) in TRICARE pharmacy program
contracts to ensure the provision of information regarding the
pricing standard for prescription drugs.
The Senate amendment contained an identical provision
(sec. 5703).
The conference agreement includes this provision.
Modification of execution of TRICARE contracting responsibilities (sec.
715)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 724)
that would amend subsection (b) of section 705 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) to clarify the execution of contracting responsibility for
acquisition of managed care support contracts under the TRICARE
program initiated after the date of the enactment of this Act.
Under this provision, the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment would serve as the acquisition
decision authority and be responsible for approving the
acquisition strategy and conducting pre-solicitation, pre-
award, and post-award acquisition reviews.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Additional emergency uses for medical products to reduce deaths and
severity of injuries caused by agents of war (sec. 716)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 732)
that would amend section 1107a of title 10, United States Code,
to authorize the Secretary of Defense to approve the emergency
use of medical products, outside the United States, in
situations in which an emergency use of an unapproved product
or an emergency unapproved use of an approved product cannot be
authorized under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) because the emergency does
not involve an actual or threatened attack with a biological,
chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees agree that traditional pathways to the Food
and Drug Administration's approval and licensure of critical
medical products for combat casualty care are too slow to allow
for rapid insertion and use of these products on the
battlefield. The conferees believe this provision could lead to
even higher survival rates from severe combat wounds and
injuries suffered by servicemembers. The conferees expect the
Department to consult with the Commissioner of the Food and
Drug Administration when evaluating medical products for combat
casualty care and to use this new authority strictly for
approval of medical products for battlefield wounds and
injuries.
Modification of determination of average wait times at urgent care
clinics and pharmacies at military medical treatment facilities
under pilot program (sec. 717)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 734)
that would amend subsections 744(c)(2) and 744(d)(2) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public
Law 114-328) to require the Secretary of Defense to utilize a
formula derived from health care industry best practices in
determining the average wait times to display under such
paragraphs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Requirement for reimbursement by Department of Defense to entities
carrying out State vaccination programs for costs of vaccines
provided to covered beneficiaries (sec. 718)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10701)
that would amend section 719 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to
require the Secretary of Defense to reimburse state vaccination
programs for costs of vaccines provided to covered
beneficiaries.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that there appear to be challenges
with some state vaccine programs in negotiations with the
Department of Defense to determine the number of vaccines
provided to TRICARE eligible beneficiaries and the price for
reimbursement for the vaccines. The conferees expect both the
state programs and the Department to use proper accounting
procedures and to negotiate in good faith to determine the
reimbursement price for vaccines.
Extension of authority for Joint Department of Defense-Department of
Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund (sec. 719)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 731)
that would extend the authority for the joint Department of
Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility
Demonstration Fund from September 30, 2018, to September 30,
2019.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Residency requirements for podiatrists (sec. 720)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 714) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that a
podiatrist serving in the Armed Forces must have successfully
completed a 3-year podiatric medicine and surgical residency.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Authorization of physical therapist assistants and occupational therapy
assistants to provide services under the TRICARE program (sec.
721)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5705)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to revise section
199.6(c) of title 32, Code of Federal Regulations, to include
licensed or certified physical therapist assistants and
occupational therapy assistants as authorized providers under
the TRICARE program, as defined by section 1072 of title 10,
United States Code, to furnish services when under the
supervision of a physical therapist or occupational therapist
respectively.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Selection of military commanders and directors of military medical
treatment facilities (sec. 722)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 722)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than
January 1, 2019, to develop common qualifications and core
competencies required for selection of directors of military
medical treatment facilities (MTFs). The provision would also
establish a minimum length of 3 years for tours of duty, with
limited exceptions, for those directors to ensure greater
stability in health system executive management at each
facility and throughout the military health system.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the service
secretaries, to develop, not later than January 1, 2019, common
qualifications and core competencies required for selection of
military commanders and directors of MTFs.
The conferees express concern that MTF commanders and
directors typically rotate to new duty stations every 2 years,
and these frequent transfers lead to great instability in the
management of hospitals and clinics. The rapid turnover of
commanders and directors creates turmoil in hospital executive
leadership and management, negatively affecting the performance
of the local facility and the overall performance of the entire
military health system. The conferees encourage the Secretary
to consider extending the tour lengths of those commanders and
directors to improve and stabilize the operations of MTFs.
Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters
Pilot program on health care assistance system (sec. 731)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 722) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot
program to provide health care assistance services to certain
covered beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Prime or TRICARE
Select to improve health outcomes and patient experience for
beneficiaries with complex medical conditions. The provision
would require the Secretary to carry out the pilot program for
an appropriate amount of time determined by the Secretary
during the 5-year period beginning January 1, 2018.
Additionally, the provision would require the Secretary to
submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and the House of Representatives that provides an

readiness of part-time members of the reserve components of the
Armed Forces (sec. 732)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 737)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 1
year after the date of the enactment of this Act, to conduct a
feasibility study and cost estimate for a pilot program that
uses predictive analytics and screening to identify mental
health risk and provide early, targeted intervention to part-
time members of the reserve component of the Armed Forces.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary to make use of existing models for preventative
mental health care, if practicable, when conducting the
feasibility study.

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5704)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a
longitudinal medical study on blast pressure exposure of
members of the Armed Forces during combat and training. The
provision would also require the Secretary to submit a report
to Congress on the results of the study.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary to submit an interim report to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives,
not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this
Act, that describes the study methods and action plan. The
Secretary would then submit a final report on the results of

the effectiveness of the training provided to military
healthcare providers regarding opioid prescribing practices,
initiatives in opioid safety, the use of the Department of
Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense clinical practice
guideline for management of opioid therapy for chronic pain,
and other related training.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
5701).
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify
the elements of the study and require the Secretary of Defense
to consider the feasibility and advisability of further
strengthening opioid prescribing practices of healthcare
providers of the Department. The Secretary would provide a
briefing on the results of the study to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not
later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act.
Report on implementation of GAO recommendations (sec. 736)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 726) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees, within 180 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, on the implementation of
recommendations from the Government Accountability Office
report entitled ``Actions Needed to Ensure Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury Are Considered in
Misconduct Separations'' and published on May 16, 2017.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Declassification by Department of Defense of certain incidents of
exposure of members of the Armed Forces to toxic substances
(sec. 737)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1089)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to declassify
documents related to any known incident of exposure to toxic
substances that resulted in disability.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require

that would make several technical amendments to statutory
language regarding the TRICARE program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Legislative Provisions Not Adopted
TRICARE Advantage demonstration program
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 701)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation
with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to establish a
demonstration program, not later than 1 year after the date of
the enactment of this Act, to enable eligible beneficiaries to
enroll in Medicare Advantage plans. The Secretary would carry
out the demonstration program for a minimum of 5 years. In
conducting the demonstration program, the Secretary would
competitively select, in market areas with large concentrations
of beneficiaries eligible for TRICARE for Life (TFL), one or
more Medicare Advantage plans from which the Secretary of
Health and Human Services has waived or modified requirements
under section 1857(i) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
1395w-27(i)). The Secretary would use risk-bearing, capitated
contracts with Medicare Advantage organizations to administer
the demonstration program, and only those Medicare Advantage
plans with minimum quality star ratings of four or higher could
participate in the program.
Under the demonstration program, the Secretary may
include medical services provided by military medical treatment
facilities and pharmaceutical agents provided by the TRICARE
Pharmacy benefits program as additional services provided by
the Department. The provision would require enrollment of all
applicable eligible individuals located in an area
participating in the demonstration program, but individuals
could opt out of the program if desired. The provision would
require the Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Human
Services to determine jointly the appropriate distribution of
costs and potential savings that result from the demonstration
program. Finally, the provision would require the Secretary to
submit: (1) An initial report to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, within
1 year of the date of the enactment of this Act, on
implementation of the demonstration program; and (2) A final
report to the same committees not later than 4 years after the
date of the enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees understand there are over 2 million
beneficiaries enrolled in the TFL program. Estimated federal
spending on health care services for this population totaled
about $16.0 billion last year with Medicare paying about $12.0
billion and the TFL program paying about $4.0 billion. The
conferees believe that a TRICARE Advantage demonstration
program would result in better health outcomes for TFL
beneficiaries with costly chronic health conditions and help to
prevent over-utilization of high-cost health care services. The
conferees encourage the Department to conduct a TRICARE
Advantage demonstration program under its existing
demonstration authority.
Modification of eligibility for TRICARE Reserve Select and TRICARE
Retired Reserve of certain members of the reserve components
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 703)
that would amend sections 1076d(a) and 1076e(a) of title 10,
United States Code, to authorize enrollment in TRICARE Reserve
Select or TRICARE Retired Reserve of a servicemember who is
enrolled, or is eligible to enroll, in a health benefits plan
under chapter 89 of title 5, United States Code.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Mental health assessments for members of the Armed Forces deployed in
support of a contingency operation
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that
would amend section 1074m(a)(1)(B) of title 10, United States
Code, to provide that servicemembers deployed in support of a
contingency operation receive a mental health assessment once
during each 180-day period during which the member is deployed.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the military services have
ongoing programs to identify, manage, and prevent combat
stress-related disorders that may arise in a deployed
environment. Behavioral health specialists, serving on the
battlefield, routinely screen servicemembers for combat stress
reactions and refer them for specialty care as needed. The
conferees are concerned that requiring additional mid-
deployment mental health assessments may disrupt military
operations by removing personnel from their operational duties
to engage in the assessment process.
Counseling and treatment for substance use disorders and chronic pain
management services for members who separate from the Armed
Forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that
would amend section 1145(a)(6)(B)(i) of title 10, United States
Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to provide counseling
and treatment for substance use disorders and chronic pain
management services for servicemembers who separate from
military service.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Consolidation of cost-sharing requirements under TRICARE Select and
TRICARE Prime
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 707)
that would amend section 1075 of title 10, United States Code,
to consolidate cost-sharing requirements under TRICARE Prime
and Select. This provision would eliminate the grandfathering
of cost-sharing requirements for beneficiaries enrolled in the
TRICARE program prior to January 1, 2018, as authorized in
section 701 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). The amendments under
this provision would take effect on January 1, 2018.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees voice concern over several unintended
consequences resulting from enactment of section 701 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for the Fiscal Year 2017
(Public Law 114-328), which exempted current beneficiaries
(``grandfathered'' beneficiaries) from the requirement to pay
an annual enrollment fee as required by the provision. This law
resulted in different cost sharing requirements for
``grandfathered'' and ``non-grandfathered'' beneficiaries
receiving the same TRICARE benefit. Generally, the
beneficiaries who are required to pay the annual enrollment fee
have lower copayments for care than the grandfathered
beneficiaries who do not pay the enrollment fee. The conferees
are concerned that disparate copayments for care will create
confusion for health care providers who will have to assess
different copayments for each category of beneficiary, as well
as unnecessary infrastructure for the Department of Defense
(DOD) to maintain two different healthcare benefits.
The conferees recognize the desirability of creating a
single health benefit structure for all beneficiary categories,
which would reduce DOD's burden of implementing and maintaining
two separate health benefits over several decades in the
future. The conferees agree that beneficiaries--Active-Duty
servicemembers and their families and retirees and their
families--deserve a robust healthcare benefit that provides
high quality healthcare in a fiscally prudent manner while
enhancing and preserving military readiness. The conferees will
closely monitor the implementation of TRICARE's health plan
options in 2018 and will expect to enact further changes in law
to ensure the military healthcare benefit remains fiscally
viable for beneficiaries and for DOD in the future as it
improves the quality of care and the experience of care for all
beneficiaries.
Contraception coverage parity under the TRICARE program
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 709)
that would amend section 1074d of title 10, United States Code,
to require coverage of contraception services for all female
covered beneficiaries under the TRICARE program. The provision
would prohibit cost-sharing for certain contraception services,
including all methods of contraception approved by the Food and
Drug Administration, contraceptive care, sterilization
procedures, and education and counseling, provided to
beneficiaries covered by TRICARE.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Training requirement for health care professionals prescribing opioids
for treatment of pain in the Armed Forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 715) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that health
care professionals, other than pharmacists, authorized to
prescribe or dispense opioids for treatment of pain must comply
with a 12-hour training requirement, provided by certain
civilian pain management and addiction medicine associations,
at least once during each 3-year period.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
One-year extension of pilot program for prescription drug acquisition
cost parity in the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 721) that
would amend section 743(d) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to
extend the authority of the Secretary of Defense to conduct a
pilot program for prescription drug acquisition cost parity in
the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program from October 1, 2018
through September 30, 2019.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Research of chronic traumatic encephalopathy
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 723) that
would authorize $25.0 million for research, development, test,
and evaluation for the Defense Health Program to award grants
to medical researchers and universities to support research
into early detection of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Prohibition on availability of funds for termination of Vets4Warriors
crisis hotline program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 725) that
would prohibit the Department of Defense from obligating or
expending funds to terminate the Vets4Warriors crisis hotline
program unless the Secretary of Defense submits a report to the
congressional defense committees describing a sufficient
replacement for the program.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the Vets4Warriors program was
terminated in fiscal year 2015.
Pilot program on establishment of integrated health care delivery
systems
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 725)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, within 1 year of
the date of the enactment of this Act, to conduct a pilot
program of not less than 5 years duration to establish
integrated health care delivery systems among the military
health system, other federal health systems, and private sector
integrated health systems. In consultation with the Secretaries
of Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services, the
Secretary would establish a multi-disciplinary task force to
develop a plan to implement the pilot program. Not later than
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the task
force would submit an implementation plan for the pilot program
to the Secretary that would: (1) Create high-value integrated
health systems; (2) Empower health care providers with real-
time advanced information technology solutions; (3) Empower
patients with transparent information on health care costs,
quality outcomes, and safety within health care provider
networks; and (4) Provide incentives to patients and health
care providers to prevent overuse of low-value health care
services. The provision would require the Secretary to submit a
report on the implementation plan to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not
later than 270 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act. Finally, the Secretary would submit a final report on the
pilot program to the same committees not later than 4 years
after the date of the enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees strongly encourage the Departments of
Defense and Veterans Affairs to pursue innovative solutions to
improve access to care, the quality and safety of care, and
beneficiaries' health outcomes by establishing enduring
partnerships with high-performing private sector health
systems.
Authorization of intergovernmental agreements for the provision of
health screenings
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 727) that
would amend section 2679(e)(1) of title 10, United States Code,
to authorize intergovernmental agreements to provide health
screenings for conditions related to perfluorooctanesulfonic
acid and perfluorooctanoic acid in communities near formerly
closed defense sites identified by the Secretary of Defense as
sources of those acids.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Tick-borne diseases
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 729) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to authorize grants to
medical researchers and universities to support research on
improving the detection and diagnosis of tick-borne diseases.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Report
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 730) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to
Congress, for each of the fiscal years 2018 through 2021, on
activities, programs, priority areas, and current policy and
planning documents with respect to infectious disease.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees support the Department of Defense's
efforts to improve the ability of partner nations to respond to
the spread of naturally occurring and dangerous emerging
infectious disease outbreaks. These programs contribute to the
Department's overall Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass
Destruction, including biological attack and pandemics, since
mitigating the spread of diseases early in an outbreak enhances
global health security and saves lives. The conferees encourage
the Department to continue such efforts to minimize risk to our
military forces and families.
Provision of support by Department of Defense to Department of Veterans
Affairs regarding electronic health record system
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 731) that
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to support the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) in the development and
implementation of an electronic health record system. The
provision would require the secretaries to conduct an annual
review of their efforts to achieve complete interoperability
between their electronic health record (EHR) systems and to
submit jointly an annual report to the Committees on Armed
Services and the Committees on Veterans Affairs of the Senate
and the House of Representatives not later than 60 days after
completing the annual review required under this provision. The
requirements to conduct an annual review and to provide an
annual report would terminate on the date on which the
secretaries certify to the same committees that the EHRs of the
two departments are completely interoperable.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees support the decision by the VA to adopt
the EHR of the Department of Defense (DOD), MHS Genesis, which
consists of a commercial off-the-shelf EHR system, Cerner
Millennium. The conferees note that the VA is working closely
with DOD to leverage the platform, architecture, tools, and
processes established for MHS Genesis to ensure successful
implementation of its new EHR throughout VA's hospitals and
clinics. The conferees expect the two departments to continue
their ongoing extensive collaboration to ensure complete
interoperability between their EHRs.
Increased collaboration with NIH to combat triple negative breast
cancer
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 732) that
would require the Department of Defense to collaborate with the
National Institutes of Health on triple negative breast cancer
research.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Encouraging transition of military medical professionals into
employment with Veterans Health Administration
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 733) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a program
to encourage a servicemember with a health care military
occupational specialty to seek employment with the Veterans
Health Administration upon discharge or release from the Armed
Forces.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Prohibition on conduct of certain medical research and development
projects
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 733)
that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense and each service
secretary from funding or conducting a medical research and
development project unless the secretary concerned submits a
written certification to the Committees on Armed Services of
the Senate and the House of Representatives that the project is
directly designed to protect, enhance, or restore the health
and safety of members of the Armed Forces. Additionally, the
secretary concerned could not initiate the funding or conduct
of any such project until 90 days after submission of written
certification to the committees.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees are concerned with the amount of
congressional funding for medical research in the Department of
Defense's (DOD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research
Program (CDMRP), and the pressure these increased funds
inadvertently place on other defense priorities as a result of
budget caps. Since 1992, Congress has appropriated over $11.7
billion for medical research administered by the CDMRP--4,000
percent growth since 1992--but not all of that medical research
is directly relevant to military service. Annual funding for
CDMRP has more than doubled since 2013, when budget caps
mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25)
took effect. This funding, neither authorized by Congress nor
requested by DOD, is increasing at a time when other vital
programs critical to the nation's defense are dangerously
underfunded. As long as the budget caps remain in place under
the Budget Control Act, additional funds placed in the CDRMP
will directly compete with other budget priorities in the
Department. While the conferees agree that DOD has a proper and
vital role to play in medical research related to combat
readiness, especially in areas like prosthetics, traumatic
brain injury, and spinal cord injury, additional funding for
medical research unrelated to unique military needs should be
allocated elsewhere in the federal government. Therefore, the
conferees encourage funding only those medical research and
development projects that protect and enhance military
readiness or restore the health and safety of members of the
Armed Forces. Furthermore, the conferees encourage the
Department to develop a strategic plan for all medical research
to ensure synergy and efficiency across the military
departments as well as other federal agencies.
Inclusion of gambling disorder in health assessments and related
research efforts of the Department of Defense
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 736)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to incorporate
medical screening questions specific to gambling disorder into
the Annual Periodic Health Assessment (DD Form 3024) conducted
by the Department for members of the Armed Forces.
Additionally, the provision would require the Secretary to
incorporate questions on gambling disorder into its ongoing
research survey efforts.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Title VIII--Acquisition Policy, Acquisition Management, and Related
Matters
Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management
Statements of purpose for Department of Defense acquisition (sec. 801)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 804)
that would create consistency between the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation and current Department of Defense
policies and instructions with respect to the purpose of the
defense acquisition system. The committee notes that the
Department of Defense is constantly forced to balance equities
related to the near and far term defense needs as well as
defense and national security goals and broader national and
public policy goals. The Department also struggles to align
goals relative to improving the speed and response to threats
with public transparency and fiscal stewardship and in
executing a growing set of missions within a defined budget.
The committee remains concerned that these balances and goals
sometimes drive the Department into practices that drive up
costs, slow down the acquisition process, and result in sub-
optimal capabilities being developed and deployed to
operational forces.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Management of intellectual property matters within the Department of
Defense (sec. 802)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that
would create a small cadre of experts in intellectual property
(IP) that would advise, assist, and provide resources to
program offices as they develop their IP strategies and
negotiate with industry. This provision would also establish a
centralized Office of Intellectual Property within the
Department of Defense to standardize the Department's approach
toward obtaining technical data, promulgate policy on IP,
oversee the cadre of IP experts, and serve as a single point of
contact for industry on IP matters. Finally, this provision
would add IP positions to the acquisition workforce and would
revise the training provided to the acquisition workforce on IP
matters.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment
to establish an appropriate organizational structure to support
the cadre of intellectual property experts.
The conferees intend the Department of Defense to
leverage the designation of the intellectual property workforce
as part of the acquisition workforce to focus significant
attention and resources on the development and
professionalization of the workforce, for example by using
resources from the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development
Fund to expand access to training and educational
opportunities.
The conferees expect the Under Secretary to foster
communications with industry and designate a central point of
contact within the Department of Defense for communications
with contractors on intellectual property matters. As part of
such communications, the Department of Defense shall regularly
engage with appropriately representative entities, including
large and small businesses, traditional and nontraditional
Government contractors, prime contractors and subcontractors,
and maintenance repair organizations.
Performance of incurred cost audits (sec. 803)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to adhere to commercial
standards for risk and materiality when auditing costs incurred
under flexibly priced contracts; would authorize the Secretary
of Defense to use qualified private auditors under certain
conditions; sets new targets for timely completion of incurred
cost audits; and would require that the Defense Contract Audit
Agency undergo a peer review by a commercial auditor; and would
direct a review by the Comptroller General of the United States
evaluating the Department's performance of incurred cost
audits, to include the use of qualified private auditors.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with amendments that increase the
Department's flexibility to use multi-year auditing; encourage
the Department to study and incorporate materiality standards;
incorporate lessons from civilian agencies' use of private
auditors; clarify the applicability and use of professional
auditing standards for both conducting incurred cost audits and
the peer review of the Defense Contract Audit Agency; and for
the use of qualified private auditors, explicitly address
potential conflicts of interest, independence, and appropriate
use of data.
The conferees also direct the Director of the Defense
Contract Audit Agency, in consultation with the Under Secretary
of Defense (Comptroller) to brief the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, within
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, to contain
the following elements:
(1) The current education, certifications, and
qualifications of the Defense Contract Audit Agency workforce,
by supervisory and non-supervisory levels and type of position.
(2) Shortfalls (if any) in education, qualification, or
training in the Defense Contract Audit Agency workforce, by
supervisory and non-supervisory levels and type of position,
and the reasons for those shortfalls.
(3) The link (if any) between Defense Contract Audit
Agency workforce skill and experience gaps and the Agency's
backlog of audits.
(4) The link (if any) between the effectiveness of
Defense Contract Audit Agency regional directors and their
education, certifications, and qualifications.
(5) The number of Defense Contract Audit Agency auditors
who have relevant private sector experience, including from
industry exchanges while at the Defense Contract Audit Agency
and from prior employment experiences, and the perspective of
the Defense Contract Audit Agency on the benefits of those
experiences.
(6) Ongoing efforts and future plans by the Defense
Contract Audit Agency to improve the professionalization of its
audit workforce, including changes in hiring, training,
required certifications or qualifications, compensation
structure, and increased opportunities for industry exchanges
or rotations.
Repeal of certain auditing requirements (sec. 804)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 874) that
would amend Section 190 of title 10, United States Code, as
proposed to be added by section 820(b)(1) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328; 130 Stat. 2274), by striking subsection (f).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Increased simplified acquisition threshold (sec. 805)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 812)
that would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code,
to set the simplified acquisition threshold at $250,000 for the
Department of Defense in order to reflect a modest increase in
inflation due to the erosion of purchasing power under the
current threshold.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would increase
the simplified acquisition threshold to $250,000 government-
wide.
The conferees note that this change will expand
opportunities for Small and Disadvantaged Businesses, Women-
Owned Small Businesses, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small
Business, and businesses in Historically Underutilized Business
Zones to contract with the Department of Defense to provide
innovation and rapid solutions and services to the Department.
The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report, no later than January 1, 2020, to the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives, the Committee
on Armed Services of the Senate, the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform of the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the
Senate describing the increased participation of small and
disadvantaged businesses and competition that has resulted from
this change in law.
Requirements related to the micro-purchase threshold (sec. 806)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 10804)
that would amend Section 1902(a)(1) of title 41, United States
Code to increase the micro-purchase threshold to $10,000. This
provision would also prohibit the use of convenience checks for
amounts greater than one half of the micro-purchase threshold.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Process for enhanced supply chain scrutiny (sec. 807)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 875) that
would require the Director of National Intelligence to develop
a list of telecommunications contractors who have been found to
have knowingly assisted or facilitated a cyber attack carried
out or on behalf of the government of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea and would prohibit the Secretary of Defense
from entering into a contract with any entity on this list.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to establish a process for enhancing
scrutiny of acquisition decisions in order to improve the
integration of supply chain risk management into the overall
acquisition decision cycle.
Defense policy advisory committee on technology (sec. 808)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 805)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a
committee of senior executives from U.S. firms in the national
technology and industrial base who would meet with the
Secretary, the secretaries of the military departments, and
members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on at least an annual
basis from fiscal years 2018 to 2022. This committee would be
exempt from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.)
due to the sensitive nature of its work.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would direct
the Chief Management Officer (CMO) to act as the point of
coordination for committee meetings.
The conferees recognize the need for the key
stakeholders in the Department to have the ability to leverage
expertise in the private sector, especially when discussing
current trends in technology, and how those technologies may
threaten U.S. national security. While those discussions can
happen informally, the conferees believe that the ability to
convene advisors and share information and views on larger
technology trends that will affect strategy and policy for the
Department is of vital importance in the future.
The conferees also note that in designating the Chief
Management Officer as the point of coordination for this
advisory committee, the intent is not to give them the
authority to approve or deny requests by other offices to
convene committee meetings, or in any way to prevent access to
the committee by other offices within the Department. The
conferees recognize the need to have a process for managing the
demands on this group, including prioritizing the needs of the
Secretary of Defense, the secretaries of the military
departments and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
However, the conferees expect the CMO to develop a process and
guidance for requesting support from this committee that can be
made available throughout the Department, as well as
encouragement from a broad stakeholder base to make use of the
services of this committee.
Report on extension of development, acquisition, and sustainment
authorities of the military departments to the United States
Special Operations Command (sec. 809)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a
review of the acquisition authorities available to the
secretaries of the military departments and the acquisition
executives of the military departments to determine the
feasibility and advisability of providing such authorities to
the Commander of the United States Special Operations Command
(SOCOM) and the acquisition executive of the Command for the
development, acquisition, and sustainment of special
operations-peculiar technology, equipment, and services.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Technical and conforming amendments related to program management
provisions (sec. 810)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802)
that would make technical and conforming amendments related to
program management provisions from the National Defense
Authorization Act of 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Subtitle B--Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures,
and Limitations
Modifications to cost or pricing data and reporting requirements (sec.
811)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that
would amend section 2306a of title 10, United States Code, and
section 3502 of title 41, United States Code, to raise contract
dollar thresholds that require submission of certified cost and
pricing data. The threshold for non-competitive prime
contracts, modifications of such contracts, subcontracts, and
modifications of subcontracts would increase from $500,000 to
$2.5 million, while the threshold for modifications to legacy
contracts would increase from $100,000 to $750,000. The section
would further amend section 2306a of title 10, United States
Code, to require offerors to submit other than certified cost
or pricing data sufficient to determine price reasonableness
when certified cost or pricing data is not required. This
section also would amend section 2313a of title 10, United
States Code, to revise reporting requirements of the Defense
Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) to provide more clarity on the
cost effectiveness of different types of audits. It would
require DCAA to report separately for incurred cost, forward
pricing, and other audits with regard to the number and dollar
value of audits completed and pending, sustained questioned
costs, the costs of performing audits, and the return on
investment of conducting audits. This section also would change
the inflation calculation for the thresholds for certified cost
and pricing data, as well as covered contracts related to
allowable costs, to be consistent with the inflation
methodology in section 1908 of title 41, United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
813) that would amend section 2306a of title 10, United States
Code, to increase the threshold for certified cost or pricing
data and truth in negotiation requirements to $1.0 million.
The Senate amendment contained another similar provision
(sec. 894) that would establish a standard definition for the
Defense Contract Audit Agency's (DCAA) reporting on its
backlog. In future reporting, DCAA should include any
individual incurred cost audit that has not been completed
within 18 months after receipt of a qualified proposal as part
of the incurred cost audit backlog.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the Senate provision related to DCAA reporting and would change
the threshold for non-competitive prime contracts,
modifications of such contracts, subcontracts, and
modifications of subcontracts would increase from $500,000 to
$2.0 million.
Applicability of cost and pricing data certification requirements (sec.
812)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 866)
that would amend section 2306a(b)(1) of title 10, United States
Code, to clarify that additional certification is not required
for a foreign military sale where there is already an existing
U.S. Government contract for the same or similar item or
service for which the U.S. Government has current cost and
pricing data and insights into the reasonableness of price.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would amend the
pilot program on foreign military sales authorized by Section
830(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2286) to add in a
waiver of cost or pricing certification requirements under
section 2306a(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, if the
Secretary of Defense determines that the Federal Government has
sufficient data and information regarding the reasonableness of
the price. The amendment would further clarify that the
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State shall jointly
determine whether a product is considered to be a similar
product for purposes of the pilot program.
Sunset of certain provisions relating to the procurement of goods other
than United States goods (sec. 813)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 862) that
would amend section 2534 of title 10, United States Code, and
would require certain auxiliary ship components to be procured
from a manufacturer in the national technology and industrial
base.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
863) that would amend section 2534 of title 10, United States
Code, to sunset miscellaneous limitations on the procurement of
goods other than United States goods at the close of September
30, 2018.
The House recedes with an amendment that would apply the
sunset of certain provisions relating to the procurement of
goods to chemical weapons antidotes and photovoltaic devices
only.
Comptroller General report on health and safety records (sec. 814)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 830)
that would require contracting officers, prior to awarding or
renewing covered contacts, to consider any identified
violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or
equivalent State laws by the offeror or covered subcontractors
using publicly available information. Contractors would have
the right to protest bids and appeal actions taken pursuant to
this provision. The provision would have also required a
Comptroller General report on health and safety record of
defense contractors.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment to require a
Comptroller General report on health and safety record of
defense contractors.
The conferees note that Federal Acquisition Regulations
state that ``purchases shall be made from, and contracts shall
be awarded to, responsible prospective contractors only,'' and
that to be ``determined responsible'', a prospective contractor
must ``have the necessary organization, experience, accounting
and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability
to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as
production control procedures, property control systems,
quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to
materials to be produced or services to be performed by the
prospective contractor and subcontractors)''. The conferees
direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure that contracting
officials award contracts consistent with federal acquisition
regulations, including those required safety elements.
The conferees further note a senior DOD official
committed to ``looking into how the Navy tracks and monitors
workplace safety violations at the shipyards that it's doing
business with,'' and looks forward to being informed of the
results of that review, which will support efforts to ensure
that the men and women in the industrial base who support
operational forces are employed in the safest possible
workplaces.
The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief
the congressional defense committees on current policies to
track incidences of health and safety violations at defense
contractors; whether contracting officers are currently
directed to consider such information in the course of making
responsibility determinations before a contract award; and how
the Department measures whether such information was in fact
taken into consideration, no later than one year after the date
of enactment of this Act.
Limitation on unilateral definitization (sec. 815)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that
would amend section 2326 of title 10, United States Code, to
require the approval of the agency head before a Department of
Defense contracting officer can unilaterally definitize the
specifications, terms, or price of undefinitized contractual
actions (UCAs) valued greater than $1.0 billion. Currently,
departmental regulations allow contracting officers to
unilaterally determine reasonable prices and applicable clauses
governing definitized contracts, with approval from the head of
contracting activity.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
823) that would apply limitations and a notice and wait period
to all undefinitized contractual actions of $50.0 million or
greater. Such limitations would require that if an agreement is
not reached on contractual terms, specifications, and price by
a date certain, the contracting officer may not unilaterally
definitize those terms, specifications, and price over the
objection of the contractor until the head of the agency
approves the definitization in writing, the contracting office
provides the written approval to the contractor, and the head
of the agency notifies the congressional defense committees of
the approval. The contract modification unilaterally
definitizing the action should not take effect until 60
calendar days after the congressional defense committees have
been notified.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change
the dollar threshold to $50.0 million and modify the approval
authority to the service acquisition executive for the military
department that awarded the contract or the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment if the contract was
awarded by a Defense Agency or other component of the
Department of Defense.
Amendment to sustainment reviews (sec. 816)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 854) that
would amend section 2441 of title 10, United States Code,
pertaining to sustainment reviews of major weapon systems to
require the Secretaries of the military departments to make the
results of sustainment reviews and supporting documentation
available to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Use of program income by eligible entities that carry out procurement
technical assistance programs (sec. 817)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 853) that
would amend section 2414 of title 10, United States Code, to
give Procurement Technical Assistance Centers limited authority
to carry over program income into the next fiscal year to
further program objectives.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees expect that this authority will not result
in excessive fees to small businesses for procurement technical
assistance services.
Enhanced post-award debriefing rights (sec. 818)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 822)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, no later than 120
days after the date of enactment of this Act, to revise the
Department of Defense Supplement to the Federal Acquisition
Regulation to require that all mandatory post-award debriefings
must provide details and comprehensive statements of the
agency's rating for each evaluation criterion and of the
agency's overall award decision. The revision would encourage
the release of all information that would otherwise be
releasable in the course of a bid protest challenge to an award
to protect the confidential and proprietary information of
other offerors. This provision would allow for the opportunity
for follow-up questions for a disappointed offeror within two
business days of receiving a post-award debriefing to be
answered in writing by the agency within five business days.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that removes the bid
protest decision timeline modification and requires a threshold
of contract awards in excess of $100.0 million for a mandatory
disclosure of the agency's written source selection award
determination and an option for small businesses or
nontraditional contractors with contracts in excess of $10.0
million but less than $100.0 million to request such
disclosure.
Amendments relating to information technology (sec. 819)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 873) that
would eliminate the sunset of certain provisions relating to
information technology, extend the sunset relating to the
Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, and for other
purposes.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Change to definition of subcontract in certain circumstances (sec. 820)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859) that
would amend section 1906(c)(1) of title 41, United States Code,
to make the definition of subcontract in that section
consistent with the definition in section 2375 of title 10,
United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Amendment relating to applicability of inflation adjustments (sec. 821)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 860) that
would modify section 1908(d) of title 41, United States Code,
to ensure 5-year inflation adjustments apply consistently to
all subcontractors. Currently, inflation adjustments impact
only prime contractors, so that subcontractors must maintain a
compliance requirement for some contracts but not others.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Use of lowest price technically acceptable source selection process
(sec. 822)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 856) that
would amend section 813 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to require the
Secretary of Defense to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement to require that lowest price technically
acceptable source selection criteria are only used in
situations in which the Department would realize no or minimal
additional innovation or future technological advantage, and,
with respect to a contract for procurement of goods, the goods
procured are predominantly expendable in nature, nontechnical,
or have a short life expectancy. The provision would also
require the avoidance of the use of lowest price technically
acceptable source selection criteria when procuring certain
types of electronic test and measurement equipment.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
825).
The House recedes with an amendment that makes technical
clarifications.
Exemption from design-build selection procedures (sec. 823)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that
would amend section 2305a of title 10, United States Code, to
exempt solicitations issued pursuant to an indefinite delivery/
indefinite quantity contract from the statutory limitation on
the number of offerors that may proceed to step-two of the
procurement selection process.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Contract closeout authority (sec. 824)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 828)
that would amend section 836(b)(1) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to
extend contract closeout authority to those contracts entered
into at least 17 years before the current fiscal year.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Elimination of cost underruns as factor in calculation of penalties for
cost overruns (sec. 825)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 827)
that would amend section 828(b) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 10
U.S.C. 2430 note) to remove the use of cost underruns to offset
cost overruns and avoid the cost overrun penalty, beginning in
fiscal year 2018.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the
maximum penalty to not exceed $50.0 million per service and to
clarify the accounts to which the penalties are applied.
Modification to annual meeting requirement of Configuration Steering
Boards (sec. 826)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 858) that
would amend section 814 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417) to
remove the requirement for a Configuration Steering Board to
meet annually to review an acquisition program if the senior
acquisition executive determines in writing that there were no
changes to the requirements of the acquisition program during
the preceding year.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Pilot program on payment of costs for denied Government Accountability
Office bid protests (sec. 827)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 821)
that would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code,
to require contractors who file bid protests with the
Government Accountability Office on a contract with the
Department of Defense to pay to the Department of Defense costs
incurred for processing a protest at the Government
Accountability Office and the Department of Defense when such a
protest is filed by a party with revenues in excess of $100.0
million during the previous year where all of the elements of
such protest are denied in an opinion by the Government
Accountability Office.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would create a
three-year Department of Defense pilot program to begin two
years after the date of the enactment of this Act. The
triggering dollar threshold is also amended from $100.0 million
to $250.0 million.
Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs
Revisions to definition of major defense acquisition program (sec. 831)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 835)
that would amend section 430(a) of title 10, United States

to negotiate with industry to obtain the custom set of
technical data necessary to support each major defense
acquisition program rather than, as a default approach, seeking
greater rights to more extensive, detailed technical data than
is necessary.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Codification of requirements pertaining to assessment, management, and
control of operating and support costs for major weapon systems
(sec. 836)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that
would codify section 832 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 10 U.S.C. 2430
note) on assessing and controlling operating and support costs
for major weapons systems.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with technical amendments and an
amendment that would allow the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment to direct the military departments
to collect and retain information necessary to support the
database on operating and support costs.
Should-cost management (sec. 837)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, to amend the Defense
Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation to provide for
the appropriate use of the should-cost review process in a
manner that is transparent, objective, and provides for the
efficiency of the systems acquisition process in the Department
of Defense. The regulations required would incorporate, at a
minimum, the following elements: (1) a description of the
feature distinguishing a should-cost review and the analysis of
program direct and indirect costs; (2) establishment of a
process for communicating with the contractor the elements of a
proposed should-cost review; (3) a method for ensuring that
identified should-cost savings opportunities are based on
accurate, complete, and current information and are associated
with specific engineering or business changes that can be
quantified and tracked; (4) a description of the training,
skills, and experience, including cross functional experience,
that Department of Defense and contractor officials carrying
out a should-cost review should process; (5) a method for
ensuring appropriate collaboration with the contractor
throughout the review process; (6) establishment of review
process requirements that provide for sufficient analysis and
minimize any impact on program schedule; and (7) a requirement
that any separate audit or review carried out in connection
with the should-cost review be provided to the prime contractor
under the program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would delete
element seven on the requirement to provide any separate audit
or review carried out in connection with the should-cost review
to the prime contractor under the program.
Improvements to test and evaluation processes and tools (sec. 838)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that
would amend sections 2366b and 2366c of title 10, United States
Code, to require an assessment of the sufficiency of the
developmental test plan and resources for each major defense
acquisition program (MDAP) be included in the ``acquisition
scorecards'' that were created in section 808 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328).

technical clarifications.
Enhancements to transparency in test and evaluation processes and data
(sec. 839)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that
would amend section 139 of title 10, United States Code, to
require the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E)
to document specific circumstances that require the addition of
smaller programs to the OT&E oversight list and to summarize
those circumstances in the annual OT&E report. This provision
would also amend section 2399 of title 10, United States Code,
to require the Director of OT&E to provide data in test reports
on how the capabilities of new systems being tested compare to
those of legacy systems. This provision would also amend
section 139 of title 10, United States Code, to enhance the
opportunity of the military departments to comment on the
annual OT&E report to ensure that OT&E information is complete,
accurate, and timely. The section also would require improved
transparency of T&E cost data to enable oversight entities to
better evaluate the adequacy of a program's T&E plans and
resources. It would also require the Department of Defense to
develop an enterprise approach to T&E knowledge management to
leverage T&E data across programs. The Director of the Test
Resource Management Center and the senior Department official
responsible for developmental testing would be required to
submit a report to the congressional defense committees, within
1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, on the
Department's enterprise approach.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize
Service Secretaries and heads of Defense Agencies to provide a
description of the performance of the items or components
evaluated by the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation in
relation to comparable legacy items or components. The
amendment would also clarify the role of the Director of the
Test Resource Management Center and the Director of Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation in collection and analysis of

Subtitle D--Provisions Relating to Acquisition Workforce
Enhancements to the civilian program management workforce (sec. 841)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to implement a new
career development program for highly qualified, competitively
selected civilian employees to increase the pool of experienced
civilian employees qualified to serve as program managers for
major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs). The Secretary would
be required to provide a design for the program to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives within one year after the date of the enactment
of this Act. This provision would also require an independent
study of personnel policies and incentives needed to attract,
retain, and hold accountable civilian and military program
managers for the largest and most complex acquisition programs
in the Department. The study would be required to be completed
within nine months after the date of the enactment of this Act,
and the Secretary would be required to provide the study to the
congressional defense committees within 30 days thereafter.
The Senate contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add to
the analysis on benefits an overview of any pay banding and
bonuses offered to qualified civilian employees.
Credits to Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund
(sec. 842)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 844)
that would amend section 1705(d)(2)(D) of title 10, United
States Code, to clarify that the Secretary of Defense may
adjust the amount for a fiscal year to an amount that is not
more than $600.0 million and not less than $400.0 million if
the Secretary determines that the amount is greater or less
than reasonably needed for the purposes of the Department of
Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund for such fiscal
year to assist with acquisition workforce planning and
development.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Improvements to the hiring and training of the acquisition workforce
(sec. 843)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that
would amend section 1705 of title 10, United States Code, to
authorize the use of the Defense Acquisition Workforce
Development Fund to pay salaries of personnel to manage the
Fund. The section also would require the Comptroller General of
the United States to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees on the effectiveness of existing hiring
flexibilities for the acquisition workforce, as well as the
need for acquisition training for personnel who work in
acquisition programs but are not formally considered part of
the acquisition workforce. The provision would require the
Department of Defense to evaluate gaps in knowledge of industry
operations, industry motivation, and business acumen in the
acquisition workforce, and would require the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to submit a report on
this evaluation to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and the House of Representatives by December 31, 2018.
Lastly, the provision would require the Director of the Defense
Contract Audit Agency to provide a briefing to the Committees
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, on strategies to enhance the
professionalization of the Agency's workforce to meet
increasing demands.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove
the requirement for the briefing by the Director of the Defense
Contract Audit Agency and would add additional study elements
for the reviews to be conducted by the Comptroller General of
the United States and the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment.
Extension and modifications to acquisition demonstration project (sec.
844)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that
would amend section 1762 of title 10, United States Code, to
extend, through December 2023, the Acquisition Demonstration
(AcqDemo) personnel demonstration project that was established
in section 4308 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106). This provision also
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop an
implementation strategy to address potential AcqDemo
improvements that were identified in a recent RAND assessment,
and to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services
of the Senate and the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of
Representatives on the implementation strategy within 1 year
after the date of the enactment of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1103) that would amend section 1762 of title 10, United States
Code, to provide a permanent authority for personnel programs
for employees in the Department of Defense civilian acquisition
workforce and supporting personnel assigned to work directly
with that workforce. The provision would also increase the
number of participants from 120,000 to 130,000.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase
the number of participants from 120,000 to 130,000 to account
for the increasing need to train individuals managing
acquisition programs in cyber deterrence, detection, and
response.
Subtitle E--Provisions Relating to Commercial Items
Procurement through commercial e-commerce portals (sec. 846)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that
would require to contract with multiple commercial online
marketplaces for the procurement of certain commercial-off-the-
shelf (COTS) products; directs the use of certain criteria to
select providers, including the ability to screen suppliers in
accordance with law and regulation; and would require the
Comptroller General of the United States to report on small
business participation in the marketplaces.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
an implementation plan and a corresponding review by the
Comptroller General of the United States, increase the General
Services Administration's flexibility to implement through a
phased approach, direct the submission of requests for
exceptions, and limits initial implementation to procurement of
items in contract amounts below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold.
The conferees note that this effort to align the
government's requirements with available commercial e-commerce
portals provides unique opportunities and will pose challenges
during implementation. It will require diligence in uncovering
all of the potential implications, to include a full accounting
of existing business processes and procedures that currently
comprise those in place to conduct the procurements as well as
those in place to comply with existing law and regulation. It
will also require a robust understanding of the technical
features of the commercial e-commerce portals.
The conferees encourage the Administrator, General
Services, to resist the urge to make changes to the existing
features, terms and conditions, and business models of
available e-commerce portals, but rather demonstrate the
government's willingness to adapt the way it does business.
Pursuant to a diligent review of existing law and regulation,
the conferees direct the Administrator to be judicious in
requesting exceptions.
The conferees further direct the Administrator to take
great care in selecting which federal agencies and departments
participate in the initial rollout phase with the expectation
that the Administrator will include the Department of Defense.
The conferees are aware of various fee-based and other
business-to-business arrangements to feature products offered
by certain vendors in many commercial e-commerce portals. The
conferees expect the Administrator to ensure that any contract
of other agreement entered into for commercial e-commerce
portals under this program preclude such business-to-business
arrangements.
Finally, the conferees expect the Administrator to place
particular emphasis on preventing suspended and debarred
contractors from participation, and ensuring the appropriate
participation of small and disadvantaged businesses as required
under current law and regulation.
Revision to definition of commercial item (sec. 847)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 852)
that would amend section 103(8) of title 41, United States
Code, to clarify that nondevelopmental items are commercial
items when the procuring agency determines, in accordance with
conditions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, that the item
was developed exclusively at private expense and has been sold
in substantial quantities on a competitive basis to multiple
foreign governments.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
that the amendment made by this provision shall not affect the
meaning of the term ``commercial item'' for purposes of
subsection (a)(5) of section 2464 of title 10, United States
Code.
Commercial item determinations (sec. 848)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 853)
that would amend section 2380 of title 10, United States Code,
to clarify that a contract or sub-contract relating to the
prior acquisition of an item using commercial item acquisition
procedures under part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) should serve as a prior commercial item determination
under this section of title 10.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would designate
the senior procurement executive of the military department or
Department of Defense as the responsible official for reversing
a prior commercial item determination and limits the scope of
the provision to prime contracts.
Review of regulations on commercial items (sec. 849)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 855)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to review and, if
necessary, revise the Procedures by which the Department of
Defense applies government-unique regulations to the process by
which it buys commercial items. It would further eliminate all
regulations not required by law that were promulgated after the
Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1996 (Public Law 103-
355) that create government-unique clauses in contracts or
subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items and
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) items, except for regulations
that the Secretary determines are vital to national security or
required by law.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary to review determinations of the Federal
Acquisition Regulations Council regarding contracts and
subcontracts described in section 2375 of title 10, United
States Code and propose revisions that provide exemptions
unless the Secretary determines there is a reason to not do so.
The amendment also requires the Secretary to review regulations
not required by law or executive order for acquisition of
commercial items under part 12 of the Federal Acquisition
Regulation and regulations relating to acquisition of
commercial-off-the-shelf items. In both cases, the Secretary is
required to propose elimination of the reviewed regulations
unless the Secretary determines there is a specific reason to
retain them.
Training in commercial items procurement (sec. 850)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 866) that
would require the President of the Defense Acquisition
University to establish a training program on part 12 of the
Federal Acquisition Regulation pertaining to the procurement of
commercial items.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
841).
The House recedes with an amendment that makes technical
changes to supporting activities.
Subtitle F--Provisions Relating to Services Contracting
Improvement of planning for acquisition of services (sec. 851)
The House bill included a provision (sec. 814) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the appropriate
information is available and that the right factors are
considered to enable the most effective business decisions
regarding the procurement of services. This section would
require the Secretaries of the Department of Defense and of the
military departments to analyze spending patterns and projected
future requirements for contracted services and use this
analysis to inform future decisions on services acquisition.
Additionally, the section would require the Secretary of
Defense to submit to Congress with the annual budget clear and
detailed information on the amounts requested for contracted
services organized according to the common enterprise data
structure required elsewhere in this Act.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
829) that would require the Department of Defense to include
certain information on services contracts in annual future
years defense programs. The amendment prohibits initiation of
public-private (A-76) competitions until this information is
provided or until the Secretary of Defense certifies that a
plan to provide such information by the next fiscal year has
been developed.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
The conferees note that improving the quality of
planning, programming, and budgeting for services contracting
will improve transparency and allow the Department of Defense
to more effectively manage and coordinate the use of service
contracts. Further, the Government Accountability Office has
recommended that Congress consider requiring the Department to
budget for service contracting activities across the full
Future Years Defense Program. The conferees note that this may
not be feasible at present, due to a number of significant
organizational, business process, and data challenges.
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense enter
into an agreement with a Federally Funded Research and
Development Center or other organization to provide an
independent analysis of the feasibility of developing a budget
request for the full Future Years Defense Program that project
estimated expenditures and proposed appropriations for
contracted services, including an analysis of barriers to be
addressed and an estimate of a reasonable timeline to deliver
such budget materials as part of the President's Budget
Request. The study, along with any additional comments provided
the Secretary, shall be delivered to the Congress no later than
one year after the date of enactment of this Act.
Standard guidelines for evaluation of requirements for services
contracts (sec. 852)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 869) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to encourage the use of
standard guidelines for the evaluation of services contracts
throughout the Department of Defense and cited the Army's
checklist as a possible model.
The Senate amendment contained no such provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove
the reference to the Army checklist.
While the conferees decline to designate a single
instrument for use across the Department, the conferees firmly
believe that the Department's services contracting efforts
would benefit from a far more rigorous and analytical approach
than the Department has used so far. The conferees expect to
see improved discipline in evaluating requirements in the near
future.
Report on outcome-based services contracts (sec. 853)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 818)
that would require a justification requirement for use of
personnel and labor hours for the procurement of services
valued in excess of $10.0 million unless the program manager
and contracting officer first submit to the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment a written justification
including the reasons for basing the contract on those
requirements instead of outcome- or performance-based
requirements. This authority would sunset at the close of
September 20, 2022.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, no later
than April 1, 2018, a report on the merits of using outcome-
based services contracts within the Department of Defense.
Pilot program for longer term multiyear service contracts (sec. 854)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 819)
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to use the
existing authority under subsection (a) of section 2306c of
title 10, United States Code, to enter into up to 5 contracts
for periods of not more than 10 years for services described in
subsection (b) of such section, which may be extended for up to
5 additional 1-year terms. This authority would be subject to a
reporting requirement for the Secretary of Defense to submit a
progress report to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and the House of Representatives no later than 1 year
after the date of enactment of this Act. The provision would
also require a review by the Comptroller General of the United
States, who would be required to submit a report of to the
congressional defense committees not later than 2 years after
the date of enactment of this Act.
The Secretary of Defense would also be required to enter
into an agreement no later than 90 days after enactment of this
Act with an independent organization with relevant expertise to
study best practices and lessons learned from using services
contracts for periods longer than 5 years by commercial
companies, foreign governments, and state governments, as well
as service contracts for periods longer than 5 years used by
the Federal Government, such as Energy Savings Performance
Contracts. Such Energy Savings Performance Contracts provide an
existing example of longer term multiyear service contracts and
are an alternative financing mechanism designed to accelerate
investment in cost effective energy conservation measures in
existing federal buildings.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Subtitle G--Provisions Relating to Other Transaction Authority and
Prototyping
Contract authority for advanced development of initial or additional
prototype units (sec. 861)

The House recedes.
Education and training for transactions other than contracts and grants
(sec. 863)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 872)
that would amend subsection (g) of section 2371 of title 10,
United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to
ensure that the Department of Defense provides sufficient
education and training in the use of transactions other than
contracts and grants.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary to prescribe minimum levels and requirements for
continuous and experiential learning, as well as training
levels necessary to meet acquisition certification
requirements.
Other transaction authority for certain prototype projects (sec. 864)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 855) that
would modify section 2371b of title 10, United States Code,
related to other transactions authority (OTA) to ensure
consistency across the language and improve clarity for how the
Department of Defense makes determinations when higher level
authority is needed to sign off on a specific OTA award.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
871).
The conferees agreed to an amendment that would modify
Other Transaction Authorities by incorporating language from
the House provision into the Senate provision so that Other
Transactions are measured by the size of transactions rather
than the size of projects, approval thresholds are increased
for service acquisition executives from $50.0 million to $100.0
million and for the Under Secretary of Acquisition, Technology,
and Logistics from $100.0 million to $500.0 million, and that
contractors participating in small business innovation research
and small business technology transfer programs shall be
considered small businesses for the purposes of cost sharing
requirements.
Amendment to nontraditional and small contractor innovation prototyping
program (sec. 865)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 857) that
would amend section 844(d) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328)
pertaining to the nontraditional and small contractor

eliminate the cost-sharing requirement for the rapid
prototyping and fielding for middle tier acquisition programs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the
requirement to update the Defense Acquisition Regulation
Supplement with simplified procedures.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense remains
delinquent on implementing the original provision from the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, which
should have been implemented by April 2016. The conferees
direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing on
implementation of section 804 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) no
later than 90 days following the enactment of this Act.
Preference for use of other transactions and experimental authority
(sec. 867)

Subtitle H--Provisions Relating to Software Acquisition
Noncommercial computer software acquisition considerations (sec. 871)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881)
that would amend section 2302 of title 10, United States Code,
to define technical data with respect to software acquired by,
and the means by which that data is provided to, the Department
of Defense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that changes the
provision from an updated definition to existing technical data
rights and instead establishes considerations for the
acquisition on noncommercial computer software.
Defense Innovation Board analysis of software acquisition regulations
(sec. 872)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 882)
that would require the Defense Innovation Board to complete an
analysis of software development and acquisition regulations
for the Department of Defense. This provision would require the
Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense
committees on the preliminary findings no later than 150 days
after the enactment of this Act. No later than 1 year after the
Secretary tasks the Defense Innovation Board with the study,
the Board should submit its report to the Secretary; no later
than 30 days after receipt, the Secretary should submit the
final report, together with such comments as the Secretary
determines appropriate, to the congressional defense
committees.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would provide
additional focus to the scope of the analysis.
Pilot program to use agile or iterative development methods to tailor
major software-intensive warfighting systems and defense
business systems (sec. 873)
The Senate amendment contained two provisions (secs. 883
and 884) that would establish two pilots that encourage the
Department's use of tailoring to realign several major
warfighting programs and defense business systems.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would combine
the two provisions, extend associated timelines, modify the
definition of agile development, and require staff involved in
programs selected under the pilot to take training on agile
methods.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense's
warfighting, business, and enterprise capabilities are
increasingly reliant on or driven by software and information
technology. The conferees note with concern that the Department
is behind other federal agencies and industry in implementing
best practices for acquisition of software and information
technologies, to include agile and incremental development
methods.
The conferees note that existing law and acquisition
regulation provide significant flexibility to the Department
and that the Department has explicitly provided for tailoring
in its acquisition directives and instructions. The conferees
note with concern that the organizational culture and tradition
of acquiring capabilities using a hardware-dominant approach
impedes effective tailoring of acquisition approaches to
incorporate agile and incremental development methods.
Therefore, the conferees expect that in conducting the
program selection and tailoring under this section, the
Secretary:
(1) Use the tools, resources, and expertise of digital
and innovation organizations resident in the Department, such
as the Defense Innovation Board, the Defense Innovation Unit
Experimental, the Defense Science Board, the Defense Digital
Services, federally funded research and development centers,
research laboratories, and other technical, management, and
acquisition experts;
(2) Use the digital development and acquisition expertise
of the General Services Administration's Technology Transition
Service, Office of 18F; and
(3) Leverage the science, technology, and innovation
activities established pursuant to section 217 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92; 10 U.S.C. 2445a note).
Software development pilot program using agile best practices (sec.
874)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 885)
that would direct the Secretary of Defense to identify between
four and eight software development activities within the
Department of Defense or military departments and pilot the use
of modern agile methods--to include open source approaches--as
well as oversight metrics appropriate for agile development.
The House recedes with amendments that would adjust the
Department's responsibilities related to data rights and modify
the definition of agile development.
The conferees note that the Department of Defense's
warfighting, business, and enterprise capabilities are
increasingly reliant on or driven by software and information
technology. The conferees note with concern that the Department
is behind other federal agencies and industry in implementing
best practices for acquisition of software and information
technologies, to include agile and incremental development
methods.
The conferees note that existing law and acquisition
regulation provide significant flexibility to the Department
and that the Department has explicitly provided for tailoring
in its acquisition directives and instructions. The conferees
note with concern that the organizational culture and tradition
of acquiring capabilities using a hardware-dominant approach
impedes effective tailoring of acquisition approaches to
incorporate agile and incremental development methods.
Therefore, the conferees expect that in conducting the
program selection and tailoring under this section, the
Secretary:
(1) use the tools, resources, and expertise of
digital and innovation organizations resident in the
Department, such as the Defense Innovation Board, the
Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, the Defense
Science Board, the Defense Digital Services, federally
funded research and development centers, research
laboratories, and other technical, management, and
acquisition experts;
(2) use the digital development and acquisition
expertise of the General Services Administration's
Technology Transition Service, Office of 18F; and
leverage the science, technology, and innovation
activities established pursuant to section 217 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016
(Public Law 114-92; 10 U.S.C. 2445a note).
Pilot program for open source software (sec. 875)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 886)
that would direct the Secretary of Defense to manage the
Department's unclassified, non-defense article, custom
developed computer software code using open source licenses and
an open source software repository. This provision would also
direct the Secretary of Defense to consult with experts from
the Defense Innovation Board, DARPA, the NSA, and the Defense
Digital Service when updating the DFARS and drafting additional
policy or instructions on the use of open source software and
to make use of existing Department of Defense open source
resources where possible. This provision would further direct
the Department to make use of technology prize competitions for
improving, repurposing, or reusing software, and to identify
methods to reverse engineer Department of Defense software for
which source code is unavailable.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would change the
section of title 10 the provision amends, clarify the use of an
appropriate software repository, reaffirm the existing
unlimited rights terms in the Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulations Supplement under which the Department of Defense
may apply open source software licenses, and remove the
requirement for DARPA to identify methods to locate and reverse
engineer existing DOD software for which the source code is
unavailable.
The conferees note that establishing an appropriate
repository for open source software will be critical for
maintaining security and also to fostering a community of
collaborative software experts. The conferees are pleased with
the early success of the Department's code.mil initiative and
encourage the Secretary to consider use of that repository to
implement this provision.
The conferees also note the importance of ensuring that
the Department of Defense uses appropriate open source
licenses. The Secretary of Defense shall therefore, no later
than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, establish
guidance to ensure that the Department of Defense applies the
appropriate Open Source Initiative approved licenses to its
source code.
The Secretary of Defense shall also, not later than one
year after the date of the enactment of this Act, submit to the
congressional defense committees a report that identifies
methods by which the Department of Defense could reverse
engineer legacy software for which source code is unavailable.

Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to require the
Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition
Regulations to transmit its final report on January 15, 2019,
rather than 2 years after the panel was established. The
provision would also require the panel to transmit its final
report simultaneously to the Secretary of Defense and the
congressional defense committees. The provision would also
extend the period of time for the Secretary to submit comments
on the final report from 30 to 60 days, and would establish a
termination date for the panel 180 days after transmittal of
the final report.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees recognize the importance of the work of the
Advisory Panel, established by the Congress, which is aimed at
streamlining and improving the Department of Defense's
acquisition processes to ensure the Department's continued
technological advantages. Therefore, the conferees agree that
the Advisory Panel's work should be extended. The Advisory
Panel shall provide its recommendations to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
using a phased approached. The recommendations shall be
delivered in January 2018, June 2018, and January 2019. Each
report shall contain a roughly equal number of recommendations
to avoid an oversized final deliverable.
The conferees also note that the panel's projected total
cost will be nearly $15.0 million for expenses, salaries, and
other items given the extension authorized in this provision.
Given this expenditure and the importance of acquisition
reform, the conferees expect the Panel will make significant
efforts to deliver actionable recommendations to both the
Congress and Executive Branch, and provide supporting analyses
and consultation to inform review and potential implementation
of such recommendations.
Repeal of expired pilot program for leasing commercial utility cargo

be applied Department of Defense-wide, that describes the
amount of time from the date on which a solicitation is issued
to the date of an initial award of a contract or task order of
the Department of Defense; and a plan for measuring and
publicly reporting data on PALT for Department of Defense
contracts and task orders above the micro-purchase threshold.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would focus the
scope of the provision to contracts and task orders above the
simplified acquisition threshold and would require coordination
with the Administrator of the General Services Administration.

that would amend section 3(p)(4)(C) of the Small Business Act
(15 U.S.C. 632(p)(4)(C)) to expand the ability of small
businesses in rural areas to participate in the Historically
Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Buy American Act training for Defense acquisition workforce
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14008)
that would require a Comptroller General review of Buy America
training for the defense acquisition workforce.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the Inspector General of the
Department of Defense has found deficiencies in the adherence
to the provisions of the Buy America Act and has recommended
improvements in training for the Defense acquisition workforce.
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to
develop a report to Congress on Buy American training policies
for the defense acquisition workforce. The report shall include
a summary and assessment of mandated training courses for
Department of Defense acquisition personnel responsible for
procuring items that are subject to the Berry Amendment and Buy
America Act. The report shall be delivered to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
not later than one year after the date of enactment of this
Act.
Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management
Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Defense and Related Matters
Treatment of incumbent Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics (sec. 901)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that
would allow the incumbent Principal Deputy Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to become
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment,
and would allow the incumbent Deputy Chief Management Officer
to continue to serve as the Chief Management Officer, once both
positions come into effect on February 1, 2018, consistent with
section 901 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328.).
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
905) that would amend section 901(a) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) in
order to repeal the section regarding service of the incumbent
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology
relative to the position of the Under Secretary of Defense for
Research and Engineering.
The House recedes with an amendment that would make
technical changes to the Senate provision.
Clarification of authority of Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment with respect to service acquisition
programs for which the service acquisition executive is the
milestone decision authority (sec. 902)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 903)
that would amend section 901 of title 10, United States Code,
to clarify the authority of the future Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD (A&S)) under
section 133b(b) of title 10, United States Code, with respect
to service acquisition programs for which the service
acquisition executive is the milestone decision authority.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Executive Schedule matters relating to Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment (sec. 903)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 904)
that would establish the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment (A&S) as an Executive Level III
position. When the Congress reorganized the office of
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, the Under Secretary for
Research and Engineering (R&E) was established as an Executive
Level II position, which is one step below a cabinet official,
in order to prioritize innovation efforts which had become
moribund in recent years. The other Under Secretaries in the
Office of the Secretary of Defense are Executive Level III,
which is appropriately one step below the Deputy Secretary of
Defense. This aligns the Under Secretary of Defense for A&S
with the level of the other Under Secretaries.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Consistent period of relief from active duty as a commissioned officer
of a regular component of the Armed Forces for appointment to
Under Secretary of Defense positions (sec. 904)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 908)
that would establish the requirement for a 5-year separation
from Active Duty as a commissioned officer before serving in a
position of Under Secretary of Defense. The current requirement
currently exists for three of the Under Secretaries (Research
and Engineering; Acquisition and Sustainment; and Policy).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would establish
the requirement for a 7-year separation from Active Duty as a
commissioned officer before serving in a position of Under
Secretary of Defense.
Qualifications for appointment and additional duties and powers of
certain officials within the Office of the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller) (sec. 905)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 907)
that would amend section 135 of title 10, United States Code,
to require individuals appointed to the positions of Under
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Deputy Chief Financial
Officer to have significant financial management service, which
includes having previously served as the chief financial
officer, deputy chief financial officer, or an equivalent
executive-level position with direct authority for financial
management in a large public- or private-sector organization
that received an audit with an unqualified opinion on its
financial statements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the
qualification requirements to focus on budget, financial
management or audit.
Redesignation of Principal Deputy Under Secretaries of Defense as
Deputy Under Secretaries of Defense and related matters (sec.
906)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 909)
that would amend section 137a of title 10, United States Code,
to redesignate all Principal Deputy Under Secretaries of
Defense as Deputy Under Secretaries of Defense and would
increase the authorized number of Deputy Under Secretaries of
Defense from five to six. This amendment reflects the
elimination of subordinate Deputy Under Secretaries and
reflects that these positions are the immediate and senior
subordinate to the Under Secretaries of Defense. Additionally,
this provision would designate the newly authorized Deputy
Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the
Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment as two of the authorized positions, consistent with
the Office of the Secretary of Defense reorganization
provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Reduction of number and elimination of specific designations of
Assistant Secretaries of Defense (sec. 907)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 910)
that would amend section 138(a)(1) of title 10, United States
Code, to reduce the total number of authorized Assistant
Secretaries of Defense from 14 to 13, and eliminate specific
designation for all but two.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would reduce the
number of Assistant Secretaries of Defense from 14 to 13, and
eliminate the specific designation for all but three, including
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs.
Limitation on maximum number of Deputy Assistant Secretaries of Defense
(sec. 908)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 911)
that would set the maximum number of authorized Deputy
Assistant Secretaries of Defense to 46.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would cap the
number of Deputy Assistant Secretaries of Defense at 48.
Appointment and responsibilities of Chief Information Officer of the
Department of Defense (sec. 909)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 902)
that would amend section 142 of title 10, United States Code,
concerning the Chief Information Officer (CIO), by elevating
the role and realigning its authorities and responsibilities to
two other officials. This provision would establish a Chief
Information Warfare Officer (CIWO), who would assume
responsibility for Defense-wide information warfighting
functions. The roles and responsibilities of the current CIO
concerning business systems and statutory requirements not
specified within the CIWO's purview would fall to the Chief
Management Officer (CMO) of the Department of Defense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the position to be presidentially appointed and Senate
confirmed. The amendment would designate additional
responsibilities related to budgets and standards and would
authorize the CIO to evaluate and certify that Department of
Defense budgets are sufficient in meeting Department-wide
requirements for the functional areas it oversees. The CIO
shall exercise its new budget authority and responsibility with
respect to nuclear command and control solely in its capacity
as a support element of the Council on Oversight of the
National Leadership Command, Control, and Communications System
(as established in section 171a of title 10, United States
Code) and solely in its capacity as a support element of the
Council on Oversight of the Department of Defense Position,
Navigation, and Timing Enterprise (as established in section
2279b of title 10, United States Code).
The amendment would also require the establishment of a
process for developing, adopting, and publishing standards for
information technology, networking, and cyber capabilities and
would require that capabilities developed by the military
Services and Defense Agencies adhere to such standards.
The conferees note that the addition of cybersecurity and
cyber capabilities as responsibilities of the CIO are not
intended to supersede, but to be complementary to, the roles
and responsibilities assigned to the Principal Cyber Advisor
(PCA) in section 932(c) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66), as mandated in section
167b of title 10, United States Code, and as assigned by the
Secretary of Defense.
The conferees expect the CIO to work closely with the
PCA, to include making personnel available to the cross
functional team established to staff the PCA. In making
personnel available to the PCA, the CIO should ensure there is
available expertise to fulfill the responsibility for
certifying the military Services' cyber security and cyber
capabilities budgets as they relate to effective cyber
operations and a ready Cyber Mission Force.
The conferees are aware that the office of the PCA has
been chronically under-resourced since its establishment and
are concerned about the impact of under-resourcing on the PCA's
ability to effectively execute its assigned roles and
responsibilities. The conferees believe that the PCA should be
more robustly manned and resourced in order to fulfill all
mandates, especially for those assigned in section 167b of
title 10, United States Code. Therefore, the conferees direct
the Director of the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation
Office to provide an assessment of the resources required for
the PCA to effectively fulfill all assigned roles and
responsibilities as defined in law, statute, and as assigned by
the Secretary of Defense to the congressional defense
committees not later than March 1, 2017.
Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 910)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 901)
that would clarify and expand the responsibilities of the Chief
Management Officer (CMO) of the Department of Defense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the
reporting chains, duties, authorities, and responsibilities of
the CMO.
Subtitle B--Data Management and Analytics
Policy on treatment of defense business system data related to business
operations and management (sec. 911)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish that all
data within Department of Defense business systems is
considered owned by the Department and is readily available to
the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and
the military departments.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would separate
this portion of the original provision into a standalone
provision, and would require this policy to be enacted within a
year of the enactment of this Act.
The conferees note that many of the management challenges
currently faced by the Department are driven by the lack of
accessible, shared information and unclear data governance
policies between components. Moreover, the conferees are
concerned that the Department lags well behind the private
sector in effectively incorporating enterprise-wide data
analyses into decision making and oversight. The conferees
therefore believe that a statutory requirement that the Office
of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and the military
departments be given access to business-management related
data, under the auspices of the Chief Management Officer, is
necessary to overcome institutional and cultural barriers to
information sharing. The conferees further believe that to
bring about this significant culture change, it is necessary to
assign responsibility at the highest levels of the Department
for creating and maintaining common enterprise data.
Transparency of defense management data (sec. 912)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that
would amend section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, to
require that all data within Department of Defense business
systems be considered owned by the Department and be readily
available to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint
Staff, and the military departments.
The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec.
935 and sec. 937) that contained specific applications for the
Department of Defense to use data to manage priority
challenges.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify
roles and responsibilities for establishing data-related
policies, and expands the scope of the provision to include all
business-management related information, not solely that from
defense business systems. Further, the amendment would
incorporate portions of Senate amendment provisions (sec. 935
and sec. 937) that call for data integration strategies to
address high priority management challenges of the Department,
and that require the establishment and maintenance of
capability for oversight and management of the defense agencies
and field activities.
The conferees believe that in order to implement new
policies broadening access to enterprise data, the Department
will need to clearly develop roles and responsibilities. Though
the Chief Management Officer shall have primary decision-making
authority with respect to the development and maintenance of
common enterprise data, many other elements of the Department
will have significant equity in this process and will desire to
use the data that is exposed as a result of this policy. The
conferees' intent is that the Chief Management Officer executes
the actions called for within this provision with the
assistance and collaboration from other relevant components of
the Department (e.g., the Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller), Director of the Office of Cost Assessment and
Program Evaluation) as desired. The conferees will remain
interested in receiving feedback from the pilot programs and
analytics capability described within this provision, and
expect periodic reviews.
Establishment of set of activities that use data analysis, measurement,
and other evaluation-related methods to improve acquisition
program outcomes (sec. 913)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 936)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the
Deputy Chief Management Officer (and successor positions), in
coordination with the Armed Forces and the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (and
successor positions), to establish a set of activities that use
data analysis, measurement, and other evaluation-related
methods to improve the acquisition outcomes of the Department
of Defense and enhance organizational learning.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would further
specify the training recommended by this section and would
clarify roles and responsibilities in carrying out the
implementation plan.
Subtitle C--Organization of Other Department of Defense Offices and
Elements
Qualifications for appointment of Assistant Secretaries of the military
departments for financial management (sec. 921)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 922)
that would amend sections 3016, 5016, and 8016 of title 10,
United States Code, to require individuals appointed to the
positions of Assistant Secretary of the military departments
for financial management to have significant financial
management service, which includes having previously served as
the chief financial officer, deputy chief financial officer, or
an equivalent executive-level position with direct authority
for financial management in a large public- or private-sector
organization that received an audit with an unqualified opinion
on its financial statements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the
qualification requirements to focus on budget, financial
management or audit.
Manner of carrying out reductions in major Department of Defense
headquarters activities pursuant to headquarters reduction plan
(sec. 922)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 932)
that would amend section 346 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to
require that the reductions to headquarters activities made
pursuant to that section be carried out after a consideration
of current manpower levels, historic manpower levels, mission
requirements, and anticipated staffing needs of such
headquarters activities necessary to meet national defense
objectives.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Certifications on cost savings achieved by reductions in major
Department of Defense headquarters activities (sec. 923)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 933)
that would amend section 346 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to
require that the Director of Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation certify mandated cost savings estimated for
headquarters reductions.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment providing 120 days
for the initial certification, and 60 days for the years 2018
to 2020.
Corrosion control and prevention executives matters (sec. 924)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that
would designate corrosion control and prevention executives for
the military departments.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
952).
The House recedes.
Background and security investigations for Department of Defense
personnel (sec. 925)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 901)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to take actions to
allow the Defense Security Service to conduct before October 1,
2020 all personnel background and security investigations
adjudicated by the Consolidated Adjudication Facility of the
Department of Defense (DOD).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that makes technical
and conforming changes and enhances reporting requirements.
The conferees recommend a provision that would require
the Secretary of Defense to take actions to allow the Defense
Security Service (DSS) to conduct before October 1, 2020 all
personnel background and security investigations adjudicated by
the Consolidated Adjudication Facility (CAF) of the Department
of Defense (DOD). This provision is based on the conferees'
judgement that the current situation of massive clearance
delays has serious adverse effects on national security and
must be addressed in order to avoid any further damage to DOD's
readiness. The provision is also based on the conferees
understanding that the administration supports the Secretary of
Defense's decision to have DSS conduct personnel background and
security investigations adjudicated by the CAF and has
recognized the Secretary's authority to take actions necessary
to implement the decision.
The background investigation process is broken. It is
composed of decades-old security practices, is grossly
inefficient, and has costs that have been rising steadily and
substantially for years. The current situation has led to
accumulation of huge indirect costs to customers like DOD;
operational risks, as personnel are idled while waiting for
clearances; and a degradation in workforce quality, as high-
performing personnel with the best alternatives are unlikely to
wait for many months to begin work for the U.S. Government. The
conferees lack confidence that the current owner of the
background investigation mission has the will, culture, or
capability to effect vital reforms in current processes and
practices.
Current practices are mired in outdated methods and non-
digital, non-automated technology. Expensive human
investigative resources are consumed with fact checking and
data collection functions (ripe candidates for automation) as
opposed to investigating substantive issues about the actions
and circumstances of prospective and current employees.
A better model has been clear to policymakers for at
least a decade: a ``continuous evaluation'' concept based on
automated access to a wide array of digital sources and
records. Constant access and reporting from these data sources
has been demonstrated to turn up greater volumes of more
serious issues than current practices; expensive human
resources would then be devoted to investigating concerns
arising from the continuous evaluation process. Derogatory
information that crossed adjustable thresholds of seriousness
would be automatically ``pushed,'' as alerts, to analysts for
action. For current employees, information from modern insider
threat programs would become an important component of the
continuous evaluation process, providing information from
counterintelligence, cybersecurity, human resources, physical
security, and law enforcement databases and investigations.
These continuous vetting techniques would eliminate the
need for infrequent but expensive ``periodic re-
investigations'' (PRs) that are mandated today--though under
the current system, PRs are so infrequent that threats are
missed for long periods. DOD is already paying over $1.0
billion annually for background investigations; the backlog
exceeds 700,000 cases and is growing at a rate of 10,000-20,000
per month. The Government is not going to truly address this
backlog unless it substitutes technology and smart risk-based
decision-making for labor-intensive activities of questionable
relative value.
The conferees believe that DOD must take back
responsibility for background investigations of its employees
and contractors and change how these investigations are
conducted. At the same time, the conferees believe it would be
a grave mistake to import back into DOD the existing OPM
organization, culture, and practices. A fresh start is needed
that is built incrementally on existing CE initiatives and
encompasses a phased transition of responsibility from OPM to
DOD.
The conferees also fully realize that there is no quick
fix for the immense problems DOD faces and that the backlog and
the cost of doing business could get worse before they can get
better. The conferees continue to have serious concerns about
the ability of DOD to manage the development of a robust CE
information technology (IT) capability. The conferees also
continue to be at least equally concerned about DOD's ability
to orchestrate the creation of an integrated, automated,
enterprise-wide insider threat detection and analysis
capability. The conferees' apprehension is that the
Department's leadership has not realized the level of resource
commitment and time that will be involved in creating digital
access and analysis capabilities to the data collected and held
by all the different functional organizations--
counterintelligence, personnel security, human resources,
physical security, cybersecurity, law enforcement,
intelligence, etc.--across the Services, combatant commands,
Joint Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and all
the defense agencies and field activities. This is an
organizational management challenge as well as a technical
challenge of the first order. The conferees expect the
Department to take advantage of existing direct hiring
authorities in order to build up the necessary investigative
workforce to execute this mission. The conferees also recognize
that the Department may need to consider establishing an
appropriate funding mechanism to support this mission.
The conferees are committed to monitoring the
Department's progress in taking over this new mission. DOD
should look, where possible, to take advantage of the work done
across government to modernize the background investigation
process. The conferees are also committed to working with other
congressional committees to ensure that the National Background
Investigations Bureau receives adequate assessments during this
transition to fully understand the impact of the transfer and
resource requirements during and after the transition.
The conferees note that the reference to DOD usage of
existing commercial data within this provision is not meant to
extend the Department's authorities with regard to the handling
and usage of personal data.
Subtitle D--Miscellaneous Reporting Requirements
Additional elements in reports on policy, organization, and management
goals of the Secretary of Defense for the Department of Defense
(sec. 931)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that
would amend section 912 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to add civilian
workforce matters to the report required by that section.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would focus the
additional reporting requirement on optimizing the civilian
operating force structure for operational effectiveness and on
hiring authorities and other actions that the Secretary of
Defense or the Secretaries of the military departments will
take to eliminate any gaps between desired programmed civilian
workforce levels and the current size of the civilian
workforce, set forth by mission and functional area.
Report and sense of Congress on responsibility for developmental test
and evaluation within the Office of the Secretary of Defense
(sec. 932)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 926) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to
the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives, not later than 60 days after enactment of this
Act, on a strategy to ensure that there is sufficient
expertise, oversight, and policy direction on the developmental
test and evaluation within the Office of the Secretary of
Defense after the completion of the reorganization of such
Office required under section 901 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130
Stat. 2339).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change
the required briefing into a report and to clarify that the
report should affirm the distinct roles of operational testing,
developmental testing, and systems engineering in performing
oversight activities. The provision would also clarify that
developmental test officials should have access to relevant
program data to perform their oversight responsibilities.
Report on Office of Corrosion Policy and Oversight (sec. 933)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that
would repeal section 2228 of title 10, United States Code,
requiring that there be an Office of Corrosion Policy and
Oversight within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense
for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct
the Secretary of Defense to deliver recommendations to the
conferees no later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act
on whether or not the Department should retain the Office of
Corrosion Policy and Oversight. The review shall thoroughly
examine and determine if any duplication exists within the
office as it relates to its mission of corrosion prevention,
control, and mitigation of corrosion of the military equipment
and infrastructure of the Department of Defense, particularly
where there is duplication in light of the grade,
qualifications, and duties of the corrosion control and
prevention executives in each of the military services. The
review shall also recommend, if appropriate, any additional
authorities the military services would require if the
Department were to recommend repealing 10 U.S.C. 2228.
Subtitle E--Other Matters
Commission on the National Defense Strategy for the United States (sec.
941)
The House bill included a provision (sec. 922) that would
amend section 942(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to provide an
extension of deadlines for reporting and briefing requirements
of the Commission on the National Defense Strategy.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide a
further extension of deadlines for reporting and briefing
requirements of the Commission on the National Defense
Strategy. The amendment would also provide that the commission
shall operate as a legislative advisory committee.

that would amend section 1109(a)(1) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to
reduce the number of Department of Defense Senior Executive
Service positions from 1,260 to 1,140.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Transfer of lead of Guam Oversight Council from the Deputy Secretary
of Defense to the Secretary of the Navy
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 951)
that would redesignate the Secretary of the Navy as the lead
for the Guam Oversight Council. This would transfer the
responsibility for the activities involving the relocation of
forces, primarily Marines from Okinawa to Guam, from the Deputy
Secretary of Defense to the Secretary of the Navy.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Requirement for National Language Service Corps
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 953)
that would amend subsection (a)(1) of section 813 of the David
L. Boren National Security Education Act of 1991 (50 U.S.C.
1913) that would require the establishment and maintenance of a
National Language Service Corps.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the significant contributions of the
National Language Service Corps and commend their efforts to
respond rapidly to assist U.S. departments and agencies to
fulfill a wide range of foreign language needs. The conferees
urge the Secretary of Defense to maintain this important
program.
Title X--General Provisions
Subtitle A--Financial Matters
General transfer authority (sec. 1001)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1001)
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to
$4.0 billion of fiscal year 2018 funds authorized in division A
of this Act to unforeseen higher priority needs in accordance
with normal reprogramming procedures. Transfers of funds
between military personnel authorizations would not be counted
toward the dollar limitation in this provision.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1001)
that would authorize $5.0 billion in transfers.
The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize
the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $4.5 billion in
fiscal year 2018 funds to unforeseen higher priority needs in
accordance with normal reprogramming procedures.
Consolidation, codification and improvement of certain authorities and
requirements in connection with the audit of the financial
statements of the Department of Defense (sec. 1002)
The House bill contained provisions (sec. 1002, sec.
1003, and sec. 1004) that pertain to reporting requirements as
the Department of Defense places its full financial statements
under audit.
The Senate amendment contained similar provisions that
centered on reporting requirements (sec. 1007, sec. 6007, sec.
6008, and sec. 11006).
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would
incorporate these provisions into a new section of US Code, and
would streamline existing reporting requirements to remain
relevant as the Department undergoes a full financial statement
audit.
The conferees note that almost 3 decades after the Chief
Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576) and with
estimated billions invested in audit, audit readiness, and ERP
efforts since 2012, the Department remains unable to obtain an
opinion on its financial statements. Currently, statute
relating to audit has built up over years into disorganized
notes to 10 USC 2222. The conferees believe that creating a
dedicated section of US Code will clarify the Department's
reporting requirements for future years. Finally, the conferees
understand that the Department's move to undergo a full
financial statement audit will require new reporting
requirements than those aimed at audit readiness. The conferees
support the Department's focus on undergoing a full audit going
forward but continue to believe in the importance of thorough
oversight of the Department's activities.
Improper payment matters (sec. 1003)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1005)
that would require the Department of Defense to comply with
recommendations made by the Comptroller General of the United
States that it improve the method and procedures by which it
estimates, identifies susceptible programs, and reduces
improper payments.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Rankings of auditability of financial statements of the organizations
and elements of the Department of Defense (sec. 1004)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1005) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to submit a report
setting forth a ranking of the auditability of the financial
statements of key Department of Defense components.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
6009).
The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust
the report's deadline and limit the requirement to a single
report.
Financial operations dashboard for the Department of Defense (sec.
1005)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1006)
that would direct the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)
to establish a searchable database that contains key indicators
of the financial performance of the Department of Defense, and
is accessible across the government.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
those with access to the dashboard, adjust the frequency of
dashboard updates, and remove the reporting requirement on
value created by improved financial management.
The conferees note the value of transparency and the
ability of information to drive effective and accountable
government. The conferees also recognize that while the
statutory language guiding the Department in its financial
improvement efforts is primarily focused on the requirement for
annual financial audits, Congress' intent for requiring the
Department to audit its financial statements is to ensure not
only that the Department complies with its Constitutional and
legal obligation to account for all taxpayer funds received and
expended but also that Department leadership has available
reliable financial information with which to make better
program management and budgeting decisions. The financial
controls required to achieve and sustain a clean audit opinion
reduce wasteful spending resulting from inefficiencies. Without
the control environment that underpins auditability, it costs
more to achieve our desired levels of military readiness. To
facilitate the adoption of better financial controls and
provide much-needed transparency on the cost of the
Department's financial operations, this dashboard would contain
key indicators of the financial performance of the Department
of Defense. The conferees expect that Congress and GAO will
have appropriate access to the dashboard and supporting
information to enable oversight functions.
Review and recommendations on efforts to obtain audit opinion on full
financial statements (sec. 1006)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1004)
that would reduce the annual rate of basic pay for calendar
year 2020 and for each year thereafter for each secretary of a
military department who does not obtain an audit opinion on
their service's fiscal year 2018 financial statements. This
provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to
establish a team of private sector experts on financial audits
to assess the Department's progress and make recommendations.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would remove
the pay cuts for service secretaries, and would allow the
Department to stand up the team of private sector experts
immediately.
Notification requirement for certain contracts for audit services
(sec. 1007)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to notify the
congressional defense committees when there is a protest of a
contract for auditing services that contribute to the
Department of Defense achieving auditable financial statements
and the Department decides not to use existing authorities to
continue performance of the contract while the protest is
pending.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Subtitle B--Counterdrug Activities
Extension of authority to support a unified counterdrug and
counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1011)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1011)
that would extend by three years section 1021 of the Ronald W.
Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005
(Public Law 108-375), as most recently amended by section 1013
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017
(Public Law 114-328). Additionally, the provision would amend
DOD's authority to support Colombia's unified counterdrug and
counterterrorism campaign.
The House bill contained no such provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would strike
the modifications to the existing authority.
The conferees recognize the remarkable security gains
the Government of Colombia has achieved over the last 15 years
and its contributions to regional security. The conferees
strongly support the vital partnership between the United
States and Colombia, note the importance of sustaining and
building upon these gains in the face of new security
challenges, and urge the Department of Defense (DOD) in
coordination with other relevant agencies to ensure its
security cooperation programs and authorities reflect the
evolving security environment in Colombia and the region.
The conferees therefore direct the Secretary of Defense,
in coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide a
briefing to the congressional defense committees not later than
90 days after the enactment of this Act on DOD's plans to
support the Government of Colombia and any modification to
legal authorities it may need given the evolving security
situation. The briefing shall include: (1) a discussion of how
DOD plans to support the Government of Colombia as the
disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) continues; (2)
DOD's definition of which other persistent terrorist and
narcotics trafficking organizations threaten peace, stability,
and U.S. interests in Colombia; (3) DOD's views on how to
appropriately adjust authorities in light of the
marginalization, fragmentation, and emergence of organizations
that pose such threats, and any challenges the current
authority presents to supporting the Government of Colombia;
and (4) any other matters that the Secretary of Defense and
Secretary of State deem relevant.
Venue for prosecution of maritime drug trafficking (sec. 1012)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14013)
that would amend section 70504(b) of title 46, United States
Code, on matters relating to venue for prosecution of maritime
drug trafficking.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Subtitle C--Naval Vessels and Shipyards
National Defense Sealift Fund (sec. 1021)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that
would amend section 2218 of title 10, United States Code, and
strike the use of the fund for research and development related
to national defense sealift. This section would also authorize
the Secretary of Defense to purchase up to five used vessels,
regardless of where constructed for the Ready Reserve Force
(RRF) component on a one-by-one basis with new vessels
authorized by the National Defense Sealift Fund. Finally, prior
to the purchase of a vessel not constructed in the United
States, the section would require the Secretary to certify that
there are no United States constructed vessels available for
purchase at a reasonable price that are suitable for national
defense or military purposes.
The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec.
1018 and sec. 1020).
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike
the use of the fund for research and development related to
national defense sealift; authorize the Secretary of Defense to
purchase up to two used vessels for the RRF component,
regardless of where constructed; and require inclusion of
auxiliary vessels in the annual 30-year shipbuilding plan
required by section 231 of title 10, United States Code.
The conferees note that the auxiliary and sealift fleets
consist of numerous platforms that have or are approaching the
end of their useful service life and need to be recapitalized.
The current average age of the vessels in the RRF portion of
the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) and the Military
Sealift Command's (MSC) surge fleet is 39 years. The fleets are
comprised of many different ship classes with both U.S. and
foreign-constructed vessels. The cost of maintaining this aging
fleet is increasing as maintenance and repair actions are
becoming more challenging due to lack of availability of spare
parts and the general wear and tear on the vessels over time.
The conferees further note the administration has
proposed a three-pronged plan that includes recapitalization of
the existing fleet, procurement of used vessels and
construction of new vessels. The conferees understand that the
administration has not programmed any funds to support this new
construction program and a program of record to support the
Common Hull Auxiliary Multi-mission Platform (CHAMP) is still
under development. The administration indicated that the
development of the requirements, as well as design processes,
would lead to an anticipated first delivery of new vessels in
the late-2020s. The conferees also understand that the
administration does not need to procure any ships in fiscal
year 2018.
While the conferees support providing authority to
procure two used vessels, the conferees are disappointed with
the lack of detail associated with the overall program to
recapitalize the surge sealift force and believe a
comprehensive plan is appropriate before additional authorities
are provided.
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of the
Navy, in consultation with the Commander, U.S. Transportation
Command and the Maritime Administrator, to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees not later than March 1,
2018 that includes the following items:
(1) An assessment, by vessel, of the material
condition and remaining service life of the RRF
component of the NDRF and the MSC's surge fleet;
(2) A description of any major modernization
program, by vessel, that seeks to extend the service
life of the RRF component of the NDRF and the MSC's
surge fleet;
(3) A notional acquisition strategy for the next
five years to acquire used vessels that describes the
following elements:
(a) An assessment of U.S.-built ships that could be
procured for the RRF;
(b) Total number of used vessels required for
purchase;
(c) A proposed timeline for the acquisition of each
used vessel, the modernization or conversion of the
used vessel and an initial operating capability to
align with the retirement of the existing RRF vessel;
(d) A cost estimate for procurement of each used
vessel and an assessment of modernization or conversion
costs to support delivering a RRF vessel;
(e) A determination of the contracting agency and
program office that will be used to procure, modernize
or convert the used vessels; and
(f) A determination of which agency or program
office will assess the material condition and ability
to meet RRF or MSC surge fleet requirements of each
used vessel prior to purchase;
(4) A description of the program of record
associated with the CHAMP program to include major
acquisition milestone events, which shall also include
an assessment of the extent to which the CHAMP program
could be accelerated;
(5) The fiscal profile, by account, that supports
this plan to recapitalize the RRF component of the NDRF
and the MSC's surge fleet; and
(6) Additional legislative authorities, if any,
necessary to continue meeting Department of Defense
sealift requirements while recapitalizing the surge
sealift force. Any such authorities should be supported
by appropriate analysis and justification.
The conferees' intent in revising section 231 of title
10, United States Code, is to provide greater visibility of the
Navy's long-term plans for auxiliary vessels. The Navy's annual
30-year shipbuilding plan will now be required to include the
ships contained in the auxiliary ship category of Secretary of
the Navy Instruction 5030.8, as well as any RRF or MSC surge
fleet vessels procured and planned to be procured with
Department of Defense appropriations.
Use of National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund for multiyear procurement of
certain critical components (sec. 1022)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1013) that
would expand the authority of the Secretary of the Navy to
enter into a multiyear contract for certain nuclear-powered
vessel components to include missile tubes, torpedo tubes, and
propulsors.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would define
``critical components'' as the following: a common missile
compartment component, a spherical air flask, an air induction
diesel exhaust valve, an auxiliary seawater valve, a hovering
valve, a missile compensation valve, a main seawater valve, a
launch tube, a trash disposal unit, a logistics escape trunk, a
torpedo tube, a weapons shipping cradle weldment, a control
surface, a launcher component, and a propulsor.

The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset
the new authorities provided by the Senate provision on
September 30, 2020.
The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit
to the congressional defense committees a report not later than
the first day of February of 2019, 2020, and 2021 on the
readiness of Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs) operating under the
authorities provided by this section. This report shall include
each of the following for the previous fiscal year:
(1) Lessons learned regarding sustainment of LCSs
while operating on deployments, including the extent to
which shipboard personnel were involved in performing
maintenance;
(2) The sustainment strategy, including maintenance
requirements, methods, and costs, utilized to support
LCSs while operating on deployments;
(3) Observations and recommendations regarding
these authorities, including modifications that would
improve the readiness of LCSs operating on deployments;
(4) The effect of these authorities on material
readiness and operational availability;
(5) The extent to which overseas maintenance
periodicities were accomplished in the scheduled or
allotted timeframes;
(6) The total cost to sustain LCSs operating on
deployments, including all costs for the performance of
corrective and preventative maintenance, and all
facilitation costs, both ashore and shipboard;
(7) A detailed comparison of costs, including the
cost of labor, between maintenance support provided in
the United States and any savings achieved by
performing facilities maintenance in foreign shipyards;
(8) A description of the permanent facilities
required to support LCSs while operating on deployments
from overseas locations; and
(9) A recommendation to either maintain or
eliminate the sunset of these authorities, which would
take effect on September 30, 2020.
The conferees also direct the Secretary of the Navy to
submit to the congressional defense committees a report not
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
which includes for the period of fiscal years 2018 through
2023: (1) a comprehensive Littoral Combat Ship maintenance
plan, by level of maintenance (e.g., depot, intermediate and
unit-level) and the implementation schedule for each LCS; and
(2) the schedule of LCS inspections that complies with section
7304 of title 10, United States Code (i.e. Board of Inspection
and Survey plan for LCSs).

surveying ship requirement and provide the results to the
congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after
the date of enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

The conferees are also aware that there may be
infrastructure investments required to support the
reestablishment of a drydock capability on Guam. If the report,
certification, or business case analysis required by this
section demonstrate a requirement for investments in either the
Lima Wharf project or infrastructure to support the
reestablishment of a drydock capability on Guam, the conferees
encourage the Secretary of the Navy to consider carrying out
such investments at the earliest opportunity, to include use of
available resources in fiscal year 2018.

The conferees agree that this provision will address the
reporting requirements as required in the House report
accompanying H.R. 2810 (H. Rept. 115-200) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 on armored
combat team modernization, and, as a result, the Secretary of
the Army and the Comptroller General of the United States are
not required to provide the report specified in H. Rept. 115-
200.
The conferees expect that this strategy will explicitly
address the Army's vision, end-state, key objectives, war
fighting challenges, and risks. It should be sufficiently
descriptive to drive requirements, set priorities, identify
opportunity costs, and establish acquisition timelines.
The strategy shall describe how the Army intends to fight
and win as part of a joint force engaged in combat across all
operational domains to include: current trends and developments
in weapons and equipment technologies; the rapid pace with
which potential peer adversaries are evolving new tactics and
force design; and the definition of what the Army will need to
maintain command, control, communications, and sustainment of
dispersed combat and combat support units in the face of
electronic and cyber-attacks.

The House recedes with a technical amendment.
The conferees understand Navy leaders are pursuing
initiatives focused on greater weapon lethality through
increased targeting options, including ``networking everything
to everything'', the ``Navy Tactical Cloud'', and the ``kill
web''. The conferees' intent is for this report to evaluate the
sufficiency of these initiatives to meet the maritime
intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting
(ISR&T) warfighting requirements for Navy ships, submarines,
and aircraft in highly contested environments.
The conferees are concerned that the advanced electronic
warfare capabilities, including jamming, of potential
adversaries could result in more vulnerable ``inorganic''
capabilities and networks in a ``kill web'', as compared to
``organic'' sensors on platforms. The conferees expect to learn
from this report if warfighting requirements for ISR&T in
contested electromagnetic environments necessitate greater
ISR&T capability or capacity on and from ships and submarines
(i.e. ``organic'' ISR&T).
Additionally, the conferees seek to understand the
information architecture into which various existing and
planned ISR&T systems will integrate, with particular attention
given to sufficiency, effectiveness, latency, and redundancy.

of Defense to provide to the Committees on Armed Services of
the Senate and the House of Representatives an interim report
within 90 days and a final report within 180 days of the
enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require

combining relevant reports on the adequacy of, vulnerabilities
of, and concentration of purchases in the defense industrial
sector. The provision would further require the Secretary of
Defense to develop and maintain a database of all relevant
transactions.

Secretary of Defense to create a new process to analyze
potential transactions with foreign companies with national
security implications.

(sec. 1072)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6003)

that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives a report on the implementation of section 922
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017
(Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2354) and the amendments made by
that section not later than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
The conferees note that section 922 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2017 (P.L.114-328)
included a number of reforms designed to enhance the role of
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and
Low Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) in providing for the
oversight and advocacy of special operations forces (SOF). The
conferees support efforts by the Department to implement these
reforms, including by taking steps to emphasize the role of the
ASD SOLIC in budgeting, programming, and personnel matters in
recent months. However, the conferees also believe much more
remains to be done to achieve the full intent of the provision.
In particular, the conferees believe that the ``service
secretary-like'' mission of the ASD SOLIC should be more
robustly manned and resourced in order to fulfill the ASD
SOLIC's mandate under title 10, United States Code. The
conferees believe that the ASD SOLIC is unlikely to be able to
effectively achieve congressional intent within its currently
assigned manpower and resources.
Therefore, the conferees direct the Comptroller General
of the United States to submit to the Committee on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a
review of the report required by this section that assesses:
(1) the extent to which the report addressed elements described
in subsection (b) of such section; (2) the adequacy and
completeness of the assumptions reviewed to establish the
manpower requirements described in the report; (3) any actions
taken or planned to implement actions identified in the report;
and (4) any other matters the Comptroller General determines
are relevant. Not later than 90 days after the date on which
the Department submits the required report, the Comptroller
General shall provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives the
preliminary results of its assessment.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would restore
the rules adopted by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation
Administration governing the registration and marking
requirements of small unmanned aircraft that were published on

effectively and expeditiously integrate unmanned aircraft
systems into the National Airspace System (NAS). In particular,
the conferees believe FAA and DOD collaboration regarding sense
and avoid technology is necessary to facilitate DOD unmanned
aircraft into the NAS for operational and testing requirements
in an efficient and timely manner. Further, the conferees
believe that registration of unmanned aircraft is consistent
with the long-standing requirement for registration of aircraft
under title 49, United States Code, section 44101, and is
necessary to promote safety and security among all current and
future users of the NAS.

services to a single rate for each military service, rather
than the single aggregate normal cost method now used, in order
to increase budgetary transparency with respect to the relative

of calculation would be effective for contributions to the Fund
beginning in fiscal year 2019.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the
United States to assess the adequacy of the single-level,
aggregate, percentage required under current law in calculating

goal of budgetary transparency with respect to changes and
proposed changes to force structure and retirement and related
benefits, and to consider whether changing such method as
proscribed in section 1002 of the Senate-passed bill would
increase such transparency with respect to each military
service. The Comptroller General shall assess the effect of
such a change as proscribed in section 1002 of the Senate bill
on each military service, as well as consider whether such a
change is feasible and advisable. In conducting this

The House recedes.
The conferees note that under the current ``1033

States Government, the Department of Defense, or the Department
of the Navy, and to authorize the Attorney General to initiate
civil proceedings to prevent unauthorized use of such insignia.
The House bill contained no similar provision.

Facilities and Major Range and Test Facilities Base (sec. 1102)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1101) that
would extend the temporary direct hiring authority granted in
section 1125 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) until September 30, 2021.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1105) that would extend section 1125(a) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328)
through fiscal year 2019.
The Senate recedes with an amendment requiring a briefing
by the Secretary of Defense no later than 90 days after the end
of each of fiscal years 2019 and 2021 to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives,
the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House
of Representatives, and the Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate.
Extension of authority to provide voluntary separation incentive pay
for civilian employees of the Department of Defense (sec. 1103)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that
would extend the authority of the Secretary of Defense provided
by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017
(Public Law 114-328) to pay increased voluntary separation pay
for Department of Defense civilian personnel until September
30, 2021.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to brief the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, and the Committee on Homeland Security and
Government Affairs of the Senate no later than December 31,
2019 and December 31, 2021, on the use of the extended

research, and other authorities that have been previously
authorized by Congress and by the Department of Defense.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include
the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare
Center in the list of laboratories designated.
The conferees note that the authorities granted to
science and technology reinvention laboratories are intended to
be executed by laboratory directors at the local laboratory
level, so as to be better used to address local management and
bureaucratic challenges and avoid the inefficiency and slowness
of centralized control over organizations whose missions
require agility and innovation. The conferees note that the
technical directorates of the Air Force Research Laboratory in
essence function as decentralized organizations under a larger
corporate umbrella, and thus express many of the
characteristics of independent laboratories.
The conferees expect that all authorities designed to
ease bureaucratic burdens on the laboratories will be delegated
to local laboratory directors and used, consistent with
congressional intent, to the maximum intent practicable to
support research efforts. In particular, the conferees urge the
laboratory commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory to
delegate all such authorities to directors of the laboratory's
technical directorates. These authorities include all
authorities that have been previously authorized by Congress
and by the Department of Defense.

Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-38) to several
Department of Defense components not included in the military
departments or defense agencies.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1106)
that would expand the number of Department of Defense
components that may hire financial management experts using
direct hire authority.
The House recedes with an amendment that adds a briefing
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate,
the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House
of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate in fiscal years 2019 and
2021.
Extension of authority for temporary personnel flexibilities for
Domestic Defense Industrial Base Facilities and Major Range and
Test Facilities Base civilian personnel (sec. 1107)

of each of fiscal years 2019 and 2021 to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives,
the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House
of Representatives, and the Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate.

would amend section 1133 of the National Defense Authorization
Act of Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to extend by one
year the authority of heads of federal agencies to provide
allowances, benefits, and gratuities comparable to those
provided to members of the Foreign Service to an agency's
employees on official duty in a combat zone.
The Senate amendment contained an identical provision
(sec. 1113).
The conference agreement includes this provision.
Extension of overtime rate authority for Department of the Navy
employees performing work aboard or dockside in support of the
nuclear-powered aircraft carrier forward deployed in Japan
(sec. 1109)

that would amend section 2358a of title 10, United States Code,
to explicitly include the test and evaluation centers, defined
as each facility of the Major Range and Test Facility Base, and
the Defense Test Resource Management Center.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a technical amendment specifying
that each organization may hire at least one senior scientific
technical manager, regardless of the number of scientists and
engineers employed.
The conferees note that this authority does not yet
include the Operational Test Agencies, nor the Developmental
Test and Evaluation office, housed within the Office of the
Secretary of Defense. The conferees believe there may be merit
to including these organizations in the future and direct the
Department of Defense to submit to the Congressional defense
committees a recommendation on whether these organizations
could benefit from the hiring of senior scientific technical
managers.

The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force to
brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the
House of Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security
and Government Affairs of the Senate, and the Committee on

Briefing on plans to develop and improve additive manufacturing
capabilities
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6013)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to brief the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives on the Department's plans to develop and
improve additive manufacturing, not later than December 1,
2017, to include the Department's plans to: develop military
and quality assurance standards as quickly as possible;
leverage current manufacturing institutes to conduct research
in the validation of quality standards for additive
manufactured parts; and further integrate additive
manufacturing capabilities and capacity into the Department's
organic depots, arsenals, and shipyards.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees are aware of the significant possibilities
that additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, will provide to
the Department of Defense, both in revolutionizing the
industrial supply chain, as well as in providing radically new
technological capabilities. The ability to utilize new
materials in new ways, such as titanium or explosives, or to
develop new manufacturing processes, has the potential to
transform how the Department does business. The establishment
of new Defense Manufacturing Innovation Institutes, as well as
the growing prevalence of 3-D printers at tactical levels,
indicates the Department sees that potential as well. Additive
manufacturing could also greatly improve the organic industrial
base's ability to respond to demands that original equipment
manufacturers are unable to meet or to fabricate obsolete parts
that are no-longer manufactured.
The conferees understand that an inhibitor to seeing the
full potential of this technology will be the need to do
quality assurance and validation of additive manufactured
parts, especially for those in flight or safety-critical
systems. Until the Department can develop the standards and
processes for assuring quality, 3-D printing will be limited in
its application. Also, substantial opportunities remain across
the force to add more capacity for this capability, both to
repair out-of-date equipment and to speed repair to meet urgent
operational requirements.
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services
and the Senate Committee on Armed Services not later than April
1, 2018, on the Department's plans to develop and improve
additive manufacturing. The briefing shall include the
Department's plans to: develop military and quality assurance
standards as quickly as possible; leverage current
manufacturing institutes to conduct research in the validation
of quality standards for additive manufactured parts; and
further integrate additive manufacturing capabilities and
capacity into the Department's organic depots, arsenals, and
shipyards.
Expansion of SkillBridge initiative to include participation by Federal
agencies
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 14003)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation
with the Director, Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to
make such modifications to the SkillBridge program as necessary
to enable Federal agencies to participate in the initiative as
employers and trainers, and would require the Director, OPM, to
take such actions necessary to ensure the participation of
Federal agencies in the SkillBridge program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that, according to the Department of
Defense, since its inception in 2012, the SkillBridge program
has allowed transitioning Service members to participate in
employer-driven job skills training, apprenticeships, and
internship programs, beginning up to six months before leaving
the military. Through such participation in private-sector
SkillBridge training, transitioning Service members have
received jobs in dozens of industries, ranging from corporate
finance, to advanced manufacturing, to information technology,
to cyber security. Just as businesses have greatly benefited
from the program and the talents that highly trained Service
members bring, so too would the other Federal agencies. The
expansion of eligible employers and trainers under the program,
to include Federal agencies, would prove mutually beneficial
for the Federal Government, non-governmental employers, and
transitioning service members. To that end, the conferees
strongly urge the Secretary, in consultation with the Director,
OPM, to take such actions as are necessary to encourage and
enable other Federal agencies to participate in the SkillBridge
program.
Title XII--Matters Relating to Foreign Nations
Subtitle A--Assistance and Training
One-year extension of logistical support for coalition forces
supporting certain United States military operations (sec.
1201)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that
would amend section 1234 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as most recently
amended by section 1201 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), by authorizing
the Secretary of Defense to provide supplies, services,
transportation, and other logistical support to coalition
forces supporting U.S. operations in the Republic of Iraq and
the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan during fiscal year 2018.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Support of special operations for irregular warfare (sec. 1202)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1201)
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the
concurrence of the relevant Chief of Mission, to expend up to
$10.0 million annually through fiscal year 2021 to provide
support to foreign forces, irregular forces, groups, or
individuals engaged in supporting or facilitating ongoing
irregular warfare operations by U.S. Special Operations Forces
(SOF).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that strengthens
congressional oversight, requires additional legal reviews and
determinations, and clarifies notification and reporting
mechanisms.
The conferees note the importance of this authority to
address strategic irregular warfare challenges identified by
combatant commanders. The conferees emphasize that this
authority shall only be used to facilitate ongoing and
authorized operations by United States Special Operations
Forces. Elsewhere in this report, the conferees outline
additional guidance regarding the prudent use of this
authority, and the importance of continued dialogue between the
Department of Defense and the congressional defense committees
as procedures are developed and initiatives are considered.
Lastly, the conferees note the limitation on the use of
this authority until the delivery of the related unconventional
warfare strategy required by section 1097 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92). The required strategy should holistically discuss long-
term Department of Defense capability requirements and their
integration with other interagency capabilities, along with
those of our partners and allies, to counter unconventional and
irregular warfare threats.
Obligation of funds in Special Defense Acquisition Fund for precision
guided munitions (sec. 1203)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1281)
that would amend section 114 of title 10, United States Code.
The provision would change current requirements that of the
amount available in the Special Defense Acquisition Fund
(SDAF), $500.0 million may only be used to procure and stock
precision guided munitions. Instead, the provision would
require that 20 percent of available obligation authority in
the SDAF be used on precision guided munitions and associated
support equipment and services.
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that
would clarify the use of funds for the procurement of precision
guided munitions with the SDAF. The provision would reduce the
size of SDAF to $2.0 billion and allow the size of SDAF to
exceed such limit by $500.0 million if used to procure and
stock precision guided munitions.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require 20
percent of annual obligations, instead of obligation authority,
be spent on precision guided munitions. Furthermore, this
requirement would be in effect through fiscal year 2022.
Modification of defense institution capacity building and authority to
build capacity of foreign security forces (sec. 1204)
The House bill contained provisions (sec. 1203 and 1204)
that would modify sections 332 and 333 of title 10, United
States Code, related to the authority to build partner
capacity. The provisions would authorize the Secretary of
Defense to assign military personnel as advisors or trainers
under the Ministry of Defense Advisor program and modify the
required elements associated with the authority to build
partner capacity by allowing human rights training conducted by
the Department of State to satisfy the human rights training
requirement.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1203) that would clarify the programs sufficient to satisfy the
requirement for institutional capacity building pursuant to
section 333(c)(4) of title 10, United States Code. The
provision would also modify the Ministry of Defense Advisor
program under section 332 of title 10, United States Code.
The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Extension and modification of authority on training for Eastern
European national security forces in the course of multilateral
exercises (sec. 1205)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6209)
that would extend through calendar year 2020 the authority
under section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) for the Secretary of
Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to
provide multilateral or regional training, and pay the
incremental expenses of participating in such training, for
countries in Eastern Europe that are a signatory to the
Partnership for Peace Framework Documents but not a member of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or became a NATO
member after January 1, 1999. The provision would also amend
section 1251 to allow the participation of non-military
security forces in such training, and would make other
technical and clarifying amendments.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1205).
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations for payment
of incremental expenses under the authority, including
procedures to: (1) require reimbursement of incremental
expenses from non-developing countries, and (2) provide a
waiver of the requirement of reimbursement of incremental
expenses under special circumstances as determined by the
Secretary of Defense. The amendment would also clarify that the
authority to provide training for national security forces
shall not be construed to include authority for the training of
irregular forces, groups, or individuals.
Global Security Contingency Fund (sec. 1206)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1204)
that would modify and extend for two years section 1207 of the

6202) that would require the Comptroller General of the United
States to submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a
report that addresses the following: (1) a description of the
mechanisms and authorities used by the Department of Defense
and the Department of State to conduct training of foreign
security forces on human rights and international humanitarian
law; (2) a description of the funding used for that training;
and (3) a description and assessment of the methodology used by
each of the Department of Defense and the Department of State
to assess the effectiveness of such training. The report shall

improve the ability of foreign governments to protect
civilians, not later than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the
required elements of the report.
The conferees expect the Department to continue its
efforts to emphasize strengthening the defense institutions of
friendly foreign nations as a key component of its security
cooperation programs. The conferees believe that the basic
tenets of protection of civilians and transparency should be
incorporated as appropriate to its institutional capacity
building efforts.
Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan and Pakistan
Extension of authority to transfer defense articles and provide defense
services to the military and security forces of Afghanistan
(sec. 1211)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that
would extend through December 31, 2018 the authority under
section 1222 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-238), as most recently amended
by section 1213 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (114-328), to transfer defense articles being
drawn down in Afghanistan and to provide defense services in
connection with such transfers to the military and security
forces of Afghanistan. The provision would also extend though
fiscal year 2018 the exemption for excess defense articles
(EDA) transferred from Department of Defense stocks in
Afghanistan from counting toward the annual limitation on the
aggregate value of EDA transferred under section 516 of the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Public Law 87-195).
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1212).
The Senate recedes.
Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of certain
coalition nations for support provided to United States
military operations (sec. 1212)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that
would amend section 1233 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), to extend the
authority for reimbursement of coalition nations for support
provided to the United States for military operations in Iraq,
Syria, and Afghanistan through December 31, 2018. This
provision would also extend, through December 31, 2018, the
requirement for the Secretary of Defense to notify the
appropriate congressional committees prior to making any
reimbursement to the Government of Pakistan for any logistical,
military, or other support that Pakistan provides to the United
States. Further, this section would extend the requirement for
the Secretary of Defense to certify, prior to making any
reimbursement to Pakistan, that Pakistan is maintaining
security along the Ground Lines of Communication through
Pakistan, taking demonstrable steps to support counterterrorism
operations, disrupting cross border attacks, and countering the
threat of improvised explosive devices. This provision would
specify that, of the total amount of reimbursement and support
authorized for Pakistan during the period beginning on October
1, 2017, and ending on December 31, 2018, $400.0 million would
not be eligible for a national security waiver unless the
Secretary of Defense certifies that Pakistan has undertaken
specified actions against the Haqqani Network.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1213) that would extend for fiscal year 2018 the authority to
make Coalition Support Funds (CSF) payments under section 1233
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
(Public Law 110-181). The provision would limit the total
amount of funds that may be provided in fiscal year 2018 to
$900.0 million. Of this total, the amount that could be
provided to Pakistan would be limited to $700.0 million. The
provision would also extend for one year certain notifications
and certification requirements relating to payments to
Pakistan. The provision would make $350.0 million of this
amount contingent upon certification from the Secretary of
Defense that Pakistan is taking demonstrable steps against the
Haqqani Network and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba in Pakistan.
The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the
CSF authority through December 31, 2018 and remove Lashkar-e-
Tayyiba from those certification requirements not eligible for
a national security waiver.
The conferees note that action on the part of the
Government of Pakistan against Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, as well as
other terrorist groups operating within the borders of
Pakistan, remains a priority for the United States. The
conferees urge the Department of Defense to closely monitor
U.S. security assistance to Pakistan, to ensure that Pakistan
is not using such assistance to support terrorist groups, and
to take appropriate measures to demonstrate to the Pakistani
military the consequences of continuing to support such
terrorist organizations.
The conferees remain concerned about the persecution of
groups seeking political or religious freedom in Pakistan,
including the Balochi, Sindhi, and Hazara ethnic groups, as
well as religious groups, including Christian, Hindu, and
Ahmadiyya Muslim. Consequently, the conferees believe that the
Secretary of Defense should ensure that Pakistan is not using
any assistance provided by the United States to persecute
minority groups.
In addition, the conferees note that the authority allows
for reimbursement of Pakistan for security activities along the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border, including providing training and
equipment for the Pakistan Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
However, the conferees are concerned that Pakistan continues to
delay or deny visas for U.S. personnel that could assist with
the provision of such training. Given this situation, the
conferees recommend that the Department of Defense condition
reimbursements for training and equipment with appropriate
access by U.S. personnel.
Special immigrant visas for Afghan allies (sec. 1213)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1217)
that would amend the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 (8
U.S.C. 1101 note) to authorize an additional 4,000 special
immigrant visas for Afghan allies.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize
an additional 3,500 special immigrant visas for Afghan allies.
Extension of authority to acquire products and services produced in
countries along a major route of supply to Afghanistan (sec.
1214)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1214)
that would extend through December 31, 2019 the authority in
section 801(f) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as most recently amended
by section 1212 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), to acquire products and
services produced in countries along a major route of supply to
Afghanistan.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Extension of semiannual report on enhancing security and stability in
Afghanistan (sec. 1215)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1215)
that would extend through December 15, 2020 the semiannual
reporting requirement on enhancing security and stability in
Afghanistan.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

(sec. 1216)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6203)
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish
within the Department of Defense one or more permanent
positions to oversee and support, in coordination with the
Department of State, the implementation of section 362 of title
10, United States Code, with respect to the Afghan National
Defense and Security Forces.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Syria, Iraq, and Iran
Report on United States strategy in Syria (sec. 1221)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221)
requiring the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Secretary of State, to submit a report not later than February
1, 2018 on the strategy of the United States in Syria to
appropriate congressional committees.
The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the President to submit the report and provide additional
descriptions of the impact of the humanitarian situation in
Syria on United States objectives, the roles and
responsibilities of U.S. allies and partners in establishing
regional stability, and the military conditions that must be
met for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to be defeated.
The conferees note that stability in Syria is
interdependent with stability in Iraq and they urge the
President to consider the relationships between Syria and Iraq
when submitting the Syria strategy.
Extension and modification of authority to provide assistance to
counter the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (sec. 1222)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that
would extend section 1236 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), as most recently
amended by section 1222 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), by authorizing
the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of
State, to provide $1.3 billion in assistance in fiscal year
2018 to the military and other security forces of, or
associated with, the Government of the Republic of Iraq,
through December 31, 2019.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1231) that would modify the authority under section 1236 of the
Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to
provide for infrastructure repair and renovation and small-
scale construction of temporary facilities necessary to meet
urgent operational or force protection requirements with a cost
of less than $4 million in Iraq. The Senate amendment also
changed the title of the fund to correspond with Department of
Defense guidance on using ``Islamic State of Iraq and Syria''
instead of ``Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.''
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine
the House and Senate provisions and make other clarifying
changes.
The conferees acknowledge that the Islamic State of Iraq
and Syria (ISIS) continues to pose a threat to the people,
government, and territorial integrity of Iraq, including the
Iraqi Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish communities and religious and
ethnic minorities in Iraq, and to the security and stability of
the Middle East and beyond. The conferees also recognize that
the defeat of ISIS is critical to maintaining an Iraq in which
all faiths, sects, and ethnicities are afforded equal
protection and full integration into society. The conferees
urge the United States, in coordination with coalition
partners, to continue necessary support to the security forces
that have a national security mission in their fight against
ISIS. The conferees remind the Secretaries that local security
forces with a national security mission may include, in
addition to Kurdish, Shia, and Sunni tribal elements, local
security forces that are committed to protecting highly
vulnerable ethnic and religious communities, such as Yazidi,
Christian, Assyrian, and Turkoman communities, against the ISIS
threat.
The conferees are alarmed by reports of clashes among
security force elements over control of contested areas in Iraq
and especially alarmed by reports of engagements between
Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Iranian-backed paramilitary
forces. The conferees emphasize the significant contributions
Kurdish security forces have made to countering ISIS and
condemn Iranian interference in Iraqi affairs. The conferees
urge all parties to defuse tensions, refrain from further
violence, and work peaceably to establish an equitable dispute
resolution process that contributes to regional stability and
the defeat of ISIS.
Modification of authority to provide assistance to the vetted Syrian
opposition (sec. 1223)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230) that
would prohibit the authorization of funds to be appropriated
for fiscal year 2018 for the Counter-Islamic State of Iraq and
Syria Train and Equip Fund to provide assistance to any
recipient of such funds that the Secretary of Defense has
reported, pursuant to a quarterly progress report required by
section 1209 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), as having previously
misused training or equipment provided by the United States.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1232)
that would amend section 1209 of the National Defense
Authorization Act of 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by striking the
prior approval reprogramming requirement associated with the
authority and replace it with a notification requirement before
carrying out new initiatives. Additionally, the provision would
modify the authority to provide for infrastructure repair and
renovation and small-scale construction of temporary facilities
necessary to meet urgent operational or force protection
requirements with a cost of less than $4 million in Syria.
The House recedes with an amendment that would preserve
the reprogramming requirement and require additional
information to accompany reprogramming requests describing any
material misuse of assistance provided by the United States
under section 1209.
The conferees support the Department of Defense's request
for a small-scale construction authority with the objective of
bolstering the force protection and operational flexibility of
vetted Syrian partner forces and coalition advisers. The
conferees emphasize this authority is not intended for the
construction or reconstruction of infrastructure or other
permanent facilities.
Extension and modification of authority to support operations and
activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (sec.
1224)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that
would amend section 1215 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as most recently
amended by section 1223 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), by extending the
authority for the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (OSC-
I) for one year through fiscal year 2018.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1233) that would: extend the authority for OSC-I for one year;
clarify that OSC-I's mandate pertains to defense institution
building, strategic planning and reform, professionalization,
and other such activities with forces of or associated with
Government of Iraq with a national security mission; and limit
the obligation or expenditure of more than 50 percent of funds
available for fiscal year 2018 pending the delivery of the
transition plan required by the statement of managers
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Modification and additional elements in annual report on the military
power of Iran (sec. 1225)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1234)
that would amend section 1245 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) to
require additional information on Iran's use of civilian
transportation infrastructure and assets to support its
military as well as its cooperation with other nations
pertaining to nuclear, ballistic missile, chemical, biological,
and advanced conventional weapons, and other identified
technologies.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Extension of quarterly reports on confirmed ballistic missile launches
from Iran and imposition of sanctions in connection with those
launches (sec. 1226)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1226) that
would amend section 1226 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) by extending
quarterly reporting of confirmed ballistic missile launches
from Iran through December 31, 2022.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
Limitation on use of funds for provision of man-portable air defense
systems to the vetted Syrian opposition (sec. 1227)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1039) that
would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated
or otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for
fiscal year 2018 to be obligated or expended to transfer or
facilitate the transfer of man-portable air defense systems
(MANPADs) to any entity in Syria until the Secretary of Defense
and Secretary of State jointly notify the congressional defense
committees, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the
House Foreign Affairs Committee should a determination be made
to provide MANPADs to elements of the appropriately vetted
Syrian opposition. The provision also contains a prohibition on
the use of funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise be
made available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year
2018 to be obligated or expended to procure or transfer
MANPADs.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove
the second prohibition on the use of funds authorized to be
appropriated or otherwise made available for the Department of
Defense for fiscal year 2018 to be obligated or expended.
Report on potential agreement with the Government of the Russian
Federation on the status of Syria (sec. 1228)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1058) that
would require the President to submit to Congress a report that
describes any understanding reached between the President and
the Government of the Russian Federation regarding the status
of Syria.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a
report to be submitted no later than five days after any
agreement is reached with Russia regarding a political
settlement or long-term territorial control in Syria.
Given the importance of Syria's stability to United
States interests in the Middle East, the conferees expect the
Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense to keep
Congress current and fully informed of any discussions or
negotiations with Russia pertaining to any potential agreement
regarding a political settlement or long-term territorial
control in Syria.
Subtitle D--Matters Relating to the Russian Federation
Extension of limitation on military cooperation between the United
States and the Russian Federation (sec. 1231)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1231) that
would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise
made available by this Act for fiscal year 2018 from being used
for bilateral military-to-military cooperation between the
United States and the Russian Federation without certain
certifications by the Secretary of Defense, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, or unless certain waiver
conditions are met.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1241).
The House recedes.
Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty of the
Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1232)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that
would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or made
available by this Act through fiscal year 2018 for the
Department of Defense to implement any activity that recognizes
the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea. The
provision included a waiver if the Secretary of Defense, with
the concurrence of the Secretary of State, determines that to
do so would be in the national security interest of the United
States and submits a notification of the waiver to certain
Congressional committees.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1242).
The Senate recedes.
Sense of Congress on European security (sec. 1233)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that
would state that it is the policy of the United States to
sustain credible deterrence against aggression by the
Government of the Russian Federation in order to enhance
regional and global security and stability. The section would
also include a series of findings highlighting continued
aggression and intimidation by the Russian Federation against
U.S. allies and partners in Europe.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express
the sense of the Congress that: (1) the United States should
support a Europe whole, free, and at peace and the sovereign
right of all European states to pursue integration into the
Euro-Atlantic community through institutions as the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union; (2)
the United States should develop and implement a policy and
strategy backed by all elements of United States power to deter
and, if necessary, defeat Russian aggression, which will
require enhancing United States military capability and
capacity in Europe and strengthening United States capability
and capacity to counter malign Russian influence; (3)
investments that support the security and stability of Europe,
including the European Deterrence Initiative, should be
included in the President's base budget request for the
Department of Defense; (4) the United States should maintain an
ironclad commitment to its obligations under Article 5 of the
North Atlantic Treaty; (5) it is important that all NATO allies
fulfill their commitments to levels and composition of defense
expenditures as agreed upon at the NATO 2014 Wales Summit and
NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit; (6) NATO allies should continue to
coordinate defense investments; (7) it is essential that all
NATO allies uphold their obligations under the North Atlantic
Treaty to ``safeguard the freedom, common heritage and
civilization of their peoples, founded on the principles of
democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law.''
Modification and extension of Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative
(sec. 1234)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6208)
that would extend through December 31, 2020, the authority
under section 1250 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as amended by section
1237 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2017 (Public Law 114-328), for the Secretary of Defense, in
coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide security
assistance, including defensive lethal assistance, and
intelligence support to military and other security forces of
the Government of Ukraine. The provision would authorize the
use of up to $500.0 million in fiscal year 2018 to provide
security assistance to Ukraine.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1234).
The House recedes with an amendment that would provide
additional categories of appropriate security assistance and
intelligence support under the Ukraine Security Assistance
Initiative, including treatment of wounded Ukrainian soldiers
in U.S. medical treatment facilities through the Secretarial
Designee Program, air defense and coastal defense radars, naval
mine and counter-mine capabilities, and littoral-zone and
coastal defense vessels. The amendment would authorize the use
of up to $350.0 million in fiscal year 2018 to provide security
assistance to Ukraine. The amendment would also prohibit the
obligation or expenditure of 50 percent of the funds available
for fiscal year 2018 under this authority until the Secretary
of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State,
provides a certification concerning Ukraine's progress on
defense institutional reforms.
Limitation on availability of funds relating to implementation of the
Open Skies Treaty (sec. 1235)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1235) that
would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds
authorized to be appropriated for the Department of Defense for
any fiscal year after fiscal year 2017 to conduct a flight for
the purposes of implementing the Open Skies Treaty until the
President submitted to Congress a plan containing the
objectives for all flights in that year. The provision would
also prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds for
fiscal year 2018 for research, development, test, and
evaluation, Air Force, for arms control implementation (PE
0305145F) and procurement, Air Force, for digital visual
imaging system (BA-05, Line Item #1900) to modify U.S. aircraft
for the purposes of implementing the Open Skies Treaty.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change
the prohibition on expenditure for aircraft modernization to a
fence on funding pending two certifications: a certification
containing a determination by the Secretary of Defense, without
delegation, that the modification of the digital visual imaging
systems for the OC-135B Open Skies aircraft will provide
superior digital imagery as compared to commercially-available
digital imagery; and a certification by the President that he
has imposed both treaty violation responses and legal
countermeasures on the Russian Federation in response to its
treaty violations and fully informed the appropriate
congressional committees of such actions.
Sense of Congress on importance of nuclear capabilities of NATO (sec.
1236)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1236) that
would make a series of findings and express the sense of
Congress regarding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's
nuclear deterrence capability.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Report on Security Cooperation with respect to Western Balkan countries
(sec. 1237)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1239) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Secretary of State, to submit to the congressional defense
committees and others a report on the defense and security
relationship between Serbia and the Russian Federation.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary
of State, to submit to the congressional defense committees and
others, a report on security cooperation with respect to
Western Balkan countries, including Serbia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Macedonia. The amendment would require
that the report include assessments of security cooperation
between each of the specified countries and the Russian
Federation, the United States, and the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), among other elements.
The conferees remain concerned over Russia's intensifying
effort to assert its malign influence in the Western Balkans.
The conferees condemn Russia's involvement in the attempted
coup against the government of Montenegro, and believe the
United States should maintain a policy of support for the
sovereign right of the countries of the Western Balkans to
pursue integration into the Euro-Atlantic community through
institutions including NATO and the European Union.
Plan to respond in case of Russian noncompliance with the New START
Treaty (sec. 1238)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240) that
would require the President to submit a report to Congress
including options in response to a possible failure by the
Russian Federation to comply with the New START Treaty by the
deadline of February 5, 2018, as well as an assessment of
whether such a failure would constitute material breach of the
treaty.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Strategy to counter threats by the Russian Federation (sec. 1239)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1253) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretary of State and in consultation with each of the
secretaries of the military departments, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and the commanders of each of the regional and
functional combatant commands, to develop and implement a
comprehensive strategy to counter threats by the Russian
Federation. The provision would also require a report on the
strategy with specified elements not later than 180 days after
the enactment of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add to
the specified elements of the required report plans to increase
conventional precision strike weapon stockpiles in the United
States European Command's area of responsibility and to counter
the military capabilities of the Russian Federation.
The conferees note that the Russian Federation's
aggressive actions threaten our national security, democratic
values, and the cohesion of our alliances. These challenges
require a comprehensive strategy backed by all elements of
United States power to deter, and, if necessary defeat Russian
aggression and to counter malign Russian influence. Such a
strategy must be based on a clear understanding of the Russian
Federation's strategic objectives and the ongoing threats its
aggressive actions present.
Strategy to counter the threat of malign influence by the Russian
Federation (sec. 1239A)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
State to develop jointly a plan to enhance cyber planning and
information operations and strategic communications strategies
to counter Russian information warfare, malign influence, and
propaganda activities. The plan would also identify areas of
potential cybersecurity collaboration with NATO and other
European allies and partners.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State, in
coordination with the appropriate United States Government
officials, to develop jointly a comprehensive strategy to
counter the threat of malign influence by the Russian
Federation. The strategy would include actions to counter
hybrid warfare operations; to deter, and respond when
necessary, to malicious Russian cyber activities; to identify
and defend against malign Russian influence threats; and to
promote core U.S. values and principles, strengthen democracy
among European allies and partners, and further integration
into multilateral organizations including the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and the European Union. The Secretary of
Defense and Secretary of State would jointly submit to the
appropriate committees of Congress a report detailing the
required strategy.
The conferees note that Russian malign influence
activities pose a fundamental threat to security and democracy
in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. Russian aggression
urgently demands an integrated whole-of-government approach,
undertaken in close collaboration with U.S. allies and
partners. The conferees believe it is vital to understand the
extent of Russian interference in our fundamental institutions
and to develop a strategy to counter that threat. The conferees
urge action without delay to formulate a comprehensive strategy
that ensures the United States can detect, deter, and counter
this fundamental threat to democratic institutions and the
international global order.
Subtitle E--Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty Preservation
Act of 2017
INF Treaty Preservation Act of 2017 (secs. 1241-1242, 1246)
The House bill contained several provisions (sec. 1241,
1242, and 1248) related to the INF Treaty Preservation Act of
2017, including the title, a series of findings regarding the
violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty by
the Russian Federation, and definitions.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
The Senate recedes.
Compliance enforcement regarding Russian violations of the INF Treaty
(sec. 1243)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1243) that
would make a statement of U.S. policy regarding the Russian
Federation's non-compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear
Forces (INF) Treaty, including that the Russian Federation's
actions constitute a material breach of the treaty and that, in
light of such material breach, the United States is legally
entitled to suspend the operation of the INF Treaty in whole or
in part. It would also state that, for so long as the Russian
Federation remains in violation of the treaty, the United
States should take actions to encourage a return to compliance,
including providing additional funds for capabilities
identified in section 1243(d) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The
provision would also authorize to be appropriated $50.0
million, Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E),
Defense-wide, for research and development of military response
options for the Russian Federation's INF Treaty violation,
including those capabilities identified in section 1243(d) of
Public Law 114-92. Of that, the provision would authorize $25.0
million for the research and development activities described
in the following section.
The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 1244)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a
program of record to develop a conventional road-mobile ground-
launched cruise missile system with a range of between 500 and
5,500 kilometers. The provision would also require the
Secretary of Defense to submit to the relevant committees a
report on the cost, schedule, and feasibility of modifying
existing and planned missile systems for ground launch and
intermediate range.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1635) that would establish a research and development program
for a dual-capable road-mobile ground-launched missile system
with a maximum range of 5,500 kilometers, in order to close the
capability gap opened by the Russian Federation's violation of
the INF Treaty. The Senate amendment would also authorize to be
appropriated $65.0 million, RDT&E, Defense-wide, for such
program. Finally, the provision would limit the obligation or
expenditure of these funds until the Secretary of Defense
submits to the congressional defense committees a report on the
cost, schedule, and feasibility of modifying existing and
planned missile systems for ground launch and intermediate
range.
The Senate recedes with several amendments that would
strike the statement of policy and would express the sense of
Congress that the Russian Federation's violation of the INF
Treaty constitutes material breach. The amendments would also
authorize to be appropriated $58.0 million for RDT&E, Defense-
wide, for capabilities identified in section 1243(d) of Public
Law 114-92 as well as a program of record to develop a
conventional road-mobile ground-launched cruise missile system
with a range of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. Finally, the
agreement would require the same report by the Secretary of
Defense but would remove the limitation on funds contained in
the Senate amendment.
The conferees note that the INF Treaty prohibits testing
and deployment of ground-launched intermediate-range missile
systems, but it does not prohibit research and development. The
conferees do not intend for the United States to enter into a
violation of the INF Treaty so long as the treaty remains in
force, and nothing in this provision should be construed to
force the United States into a violation of the treaty.
Notification requirement related to Russian Federation development of
noncompliant systems and United States actions regarding
material breach of INF Treaty by the Russian Federation (sec.
1244)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1245) that
would make a declaration of policy regarding the Russian
Federation's violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces
(INF) Treaty and require the Director of National Intelligence
to notify the appropriate congressional committees of any
development, deployment, or test of a system by the Russian
Federation that is inconsistent with the INF Treaty. The
provision would also require the President to submit to the
appropriate congressional committees 15 months after the date
of enactment of this Act a report that contains a determination
of whether the Russian Federation has engaged in any such
activity during the year following the date of enactment. If
the President so determines, the provision would provide that
the prohibitions set forth in the INF Treaty would no longer be
binding on the United States as a matter of U.S. law.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike
the declaration of policy and the Presidential reporting
requirement. The amendment would also withhold $50.0 million in
funds made available to the Department of Defense for operation
and maintenance, Defense-wide, for fiscal year 2018 to carry
out special mission area activities of the Defense Information
Systems Agency and until the President submits to the
appropriate congressional committees two reports: first, a
certification that each requirement of section 1290 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public
Law 114-328) has been and continues to be fully implemented and
the President has notified the appropriate congressional
committees of the measures imposed pursuant to section 1290;
and second, a report containing a proposal for additional
measures to be implemented with respect to individuals in the
Russian Federation that the President determines to play a
significant role in facilitating or ordering the violation of
the INF Treaty, and those who are senior political figures of
the Russian Federation. The conferees note that this provision
would not direct the implementation of these additional
sanctions.
The conferees note that section 1290 required the
Secretary of the Treasury to submit to Congress a report
identifying individuals who are citizens of countries that are
not in full compliance with obligations of arms control,
nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements to which the
United States is a party and who have contributed to such non-
compliance. That section further required the President to
impose certain measures on each person identified in this
report. The conferees note that the Secretary of the Treasury
has not submitted this report and the President has not imposed
these measures on individuals that have contributed to
violations of arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament
agreements pursuant to section 1290.
The conferees also note that section 1231 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) withheld $10.0 million of funding for the Department of
Defense to provide support services to the Executive Office of
the President until the Secretary of Defense submitted a plan
for the development of military capabilities in response to the
Russian Federation's violation of the INF Treaty, as required
by section 1243(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The conferees
reiterate that the plan contained in the report previously
submitted to Congress, pursuant to section 1243(d), was
insufficient, and the conferees do not believe that the
requirements in either Public Law have been satisfied.
The conferees further note that the Department of Defense
was unable to provide timely information on the status of such
funds, leading the conferees to believe that such funds were
not withheld. The Department was also unable to provide a full
accounting of funding to provide support services to the
Executive Office of the President.
Therefore, the conferees direct that, as part of the
submission of the President's budget request for fiscal year
2019, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) provide
relevant details pertaining to Department of Defense support to
the Executive Office of the President and the White House
Military Office specifically, by budget category, including
appropriation and line number. These two budget exhibits should
be submitted in unclassified form as appropriate and with a
classified enclosure as necessary.
Review of RS-26 ballistic missile (sec. 1245)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1247) that
would require the President, in consultation with the relevant
members of the National Security Council, to conduct a review
of the Russian Federation's RS-26 ballistic missile and submit
a report to Congress not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment of this Act. Such report would include a
determination of whether the RS-26 ballistic missile is covered
under the New START Treaty or the Intermediate-Range Nuclear
Forces Treaty and would contain the implications of such
determination for assessment of the Russian Federation's
compliance with either treaty.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Subtitle F--Matters Relating to the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region
Sense of Congress and Initiative on the Indo-Asia-Pacific region (sec.
1251)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1261) that
would express a sense of Congress that the United States has a
national interest in maintaining the stability and security of
the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. It expresses that the United
States should maintain a military capability to deter acts of
aggression and respond to regional threats. It expresses that
continuing efforts to realign forces, commit additional assets,
and increase investments in the region are necessary to
maintain a robust U.S. commitment to the region.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1261) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to
establish the Indo-Asia-Pacific Stability Initiative and
provide the necessary guidelines and authorities for the
Department of Defense to execute and implement it. The
recommended provision would outline the stated objective of the
initiative, the authorized activities, and funding authorities
to be used. The recommended provision would also ensure that
the Department of Defense retains a maximum amount of
flexibility in carrying out the initiative.
The House recedes with an amendment that would combine
the two provisions and require the Department to submit to the
congressional defense committees a plan outlining the projects
and activities needed for the Indo-Asia-Pacific Stability
Initiative.
The conferees emphasize that the United States must
maintain a robust, long-term security presence in the Indo-
Asia-Pacific to help preserve peace and stability in the region
amid current and emerging threats. The conferees expect the
Department to request additional base budget funding for the
Indo-Asia-Pacific Stability Initiative in future years as part

Transfer of excess high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles to

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1278) that

multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs) until 30 days after the
Comptroller General of the United States submits a report to
the congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign
Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs
of the House of Representatives that assesses the Department of
Defense's efforts to evaluate the potential impact of HMMWV EDA
transfers on the U.S. industrial base for fiscal years 2012
through 2016. The House bill also included authority for the
President to waive the prohibition if in the national interest.

effect 90 days after enactment of this Act; sunsets this
requirement after three years; retains the requirement for the
Comptroller General's assessment, but removes the prohibition

notification requirements.
The conferees note that the transfer of excess defense
articles can make an important contribution to advancing the
national security and foreign policy interests of the United
States and its allies and partners. At the same time, the
conferees note the concerns that have been raised that the
existing requirements to determine the potential impact of EDA
transfers on the U.S. industrial base, as required under
section (b)(1)(E) of title 22, United States Code, are not
being enforced, and as such there could be adverse impacts to
the U.S. industrial base or its workforce. Concerns have been
raised in particular about the potential adverse impacts of EDA
HMMWV transfers to the light tactical vehicle industrial base.
The conferees expect any modernization and refurbishment
work to be done at no cost to the government unless
congressionally appropriated funds have been designated and are
available for such purposes, such as is the case under the
Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF). The conferees are also
aware that a pending transfer of excess defense article
vehicles to Iraq has resulted in significant concerns among
entities within the industrial base. The conferees encourage
the Secretary of Defense to review this pending transfer and
expect the Secretary to consider the concerns raised by these
entities within the industrial base before authorizing this
transfer. The conferees expect the Secretary of Defense to
fully review the condition of these HMMWVs before transfer in
order to determine whether further upgrades to these vehicles
are necessary. Finally, the conferees intend for the
refurbishment requirement under this section to apply only to
HMMWVs within the continental United States that have been
declared excess and not to those vehicles located outside the
continental United States.
The conferees fully expect the Department to exercise
the waiver authority, as necessary, if it is in the national
interest to do so. If the waiver authority is used, the
conferees encourage the Department to consider if practicable
including additional information in the written determination
to Congress to supplement the notification elements required in
this provision. Such information may include serial and model
numbers of individual HMMWVs, as well as information, to the
extent practicable, regarding consultation with industrial base
partners.
Finally, the conferees note that HMMWVs will remain in
the light tactical wheeled vehicle fleet for the foreseeable
future even after the fielding of the Joint Light Tactical
Vehicle (JLTV). Therefore, not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act, the conferees direct the Secretary of
the Army to provide a briefing to the House and Senate Armed
Services Committees on the Army's plan to manage the tactical
wheeled vehicle fleet and the impact this strategy will have on
the industrial base.

Limitation on availability of funds to implement the Arms Trade Treaty
(sec. 1279B)

appropriated by the Department of Defense to support the
implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty, to sustain domestic
prosecutions based on any charge related to the Treaty, or to
implement the Treaty until the Senate approves a resolution of
ratification for the Treaty and implementing legislation for
the Treaty has been enacted into law.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment.
The conferees understand that, while the United States is
participating in the annual Conference of States Parties (CSP)
for the Arms Trade Treaty, and expending money in so doing, it
has not expended any money to implement the Arms Trade Treaty.
The conferees expect the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary
of State will scrupulously ensure that no taxpayer funding is
expended in support of implementation of this treaty until such
time as the United States ratifies the treaty and enacts any
required implementing legislation.
Cultural Heritage Protection Coordinator (sec. 1279C)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1297) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 90 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act, to designate an
employee of the Department of Defense to serve concurrently as
the Coordinator for Cultural Heritage Protection. This
individual would be responsible for coordinating existing
obligations of the Department for the protection of cultural
heritage and for convening a coordinating committee of entities
within the Department that have responsibility or capacity for

of the enactment of this Act, to designate an employee of the
Department of Defense to serve concurrently as the Coordinator
for Cultural Heritage Protection. This individual would be

that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide security
assistance of up to $100.0 million to conduct or support a
joint program of the Baltic nations to improve their resilience
against and build their capacity to deter aggression by the
Russian Federation.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify
the authority under this section by limiting it to the conduct
or support of a single joint program; defining appropriate
defense articles or services; and specifying the available
source of funding as Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide.
The amendment would also require the Secretary to submit notice
of specified information before initiating activities under the
joint program. The authority under this section would terminate
on December 31, 2020.
Restriction on funding for the Preparatory Commission for the
Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (sec. 1279E)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270A) that
would state as U.S. policy that United Nations Security Council
Resolution 2310 (September 23, 2016) does not obligate the
United States to refrain from actions that would run counter to
the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). It would also
prohibit the provision of U.S. funds to the Preparatory
Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty
Organization, with an exception for funds provided for the
International Monitoring System (IMS).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify
that the exception would also apply to funds used solely for
the analysis and dissemination of data collected through IMS.
The conferees believe that, because the United States
has not ratified the CTBT in accordance with Article II,
section 2, of the U.S. Constitution, and, following the
rejection of the Resolution of Ratification in 1999 by the
Senate, it is wholly inappropriate for U.S. funds to support
activities of the Preparatory Commission that include
advocating for ratification of the treaty or otherwise
preparing for the treaty's possible entry into force. The
conferees urge the Secretary of State to clearly convey the
intent of this Act when making any funds available to the
Preparatory Commission.
Clarification of authority to support border security operations of
certain foreign countries (sec. 1279F)
The Senate amendment contained a provision in Division F
(sec. 11206) that would amend section 1226(b) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92), as most recently amended by section 1294 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328), by striking ``such fiscal year'' in both places where it
appears.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

11201).
Neither provision was adopted.
The conferees reaffirm the support of the United States
for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine in the
face of continued Russian aggression. The conferees also note
the concerning history of cyberattacks in Ukraine, including a

The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328)

over the projected timeline; a description of the interests,
objectives, and activities of other regional actors in
Afghanistan, including Russia, Iran, Pakistan, China, India,
and any other country the Secretary believes to be influencing
Afghanistan's stability and security.
Sense of Congress relating to Dr. Shakil Afridi

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1216)
that would express the sense of Congress that an additional
4,000 visas should be made available for principal aliens who
are eligible for special immigrant status under the Afghan
Allies Protection Act of 2009 (8 U.S.C. 1101 note) to prevent
harm to the operations of the United States Government in
Afghanistan.
The House bill contained no similar provision.

continues to be critical for the U.S. Government's operations
in Afghanistan. The conferees note that special immigrant visas
for Afghan allies are addressed elsewhere in this report.

security objectives in Syria
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221A) that

relocating such groups of captives to safe locations.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

and the security environment in Europe.
The House bill contained no similar provisions.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the content of these provisions
is addressed elsewhere in this report.
Limitation on availability of funds to extend the implementation of the
New START Treaty
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1246) that
would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds
authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2018 to extend the
implementation of the New START Treaty unless the President
certifies that the Russian Federation has verifiably eliminated
all missiles that are in violation of or may be inconsistent
with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees are frustrated with the continued Russian
violation of the INF Treaty, as described in detail elsewhere
in this Act, as well as the failure of diplomatic efforts to
bring them back into compliance so far. While the Russian
Federation appears to be moving toward compliance with the
limits laid out by the New START Treaty, the Russian Federation
cannot be allowed to comply only with treaties that suit its
interests and violate those that do not. Treaties are not
negotiated and ratified independently but in the context of the
range of arms control agreements in force. The testimony of
General Paul Selva, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
at a March 8, 2017, House Armed Services Committee hearing
corroborates this: ``I anticipate Russia's violation of its
international commitments such as the INF Treaty will be a
consideration in any future arms control discussion.'' As the
expiration date of the New START Treaty approaches, the
conferees urge the President and the members of the National
Security Council to carefully consider whether extending the
treaty, if Russia is still in violation of the INF Treaty, is
in the national interest of the United States.
Furthermore, the conferees note that since entry-into-
force of the treaty, the United States has decreased its
deployed launchers by over 222 and its deployed warheads by
407. During this period, the Russian Federation increased its
launcher count to the limit permitted by the treaty. The
conferees are concerned that the Russian Federation may
maintain the capability to rapidly exceed the levels laid out
by New START once the February 2018 implementation date is
reached. The conferees also note that the treaty places no
limits on non-strategic nuclear weapons, which may be an area
of enduring Russian advantage.
Finally, the conferees remind the President of the
commitment made by his predecessor, President Obama: ``I
recognize that nuclear modernization requires investment for
the long-term. . . . That is my commitment to the Congress--
that my administration will pursue these programs and
capabilities for as long as I am President.'' This commitment
was explicitly laid out in the certification that President
Obama made to the U.S. Senate on February 2, 2011, as a
condition of the treaty's entry-into-force, to modernize U.S.
nuclear forces, including ``a heavy bomber and air-launched
cruise missile, an ICBM, and a nuclear-powered ballistic
missile submarine (SSBN) and SLBM,'' as well as facilities of
the National Nuclear Security Administration where uranium and
plutonium are processed. The conferees are also aware that,
because the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25)
capped overall base national security spending, the repeated
statements by the Nation's most senior civilian and military
leaders regarding the priority attached to the nuclear
deterrent mission are critical. For example, Secretary of
Defense Chuck Hagel stated in his November 2014, Message to the
Force: ``Our nuclear deterrent plays a critical role in
assuring U.S. national security, and it is DoD's highest
priority mission. No other capability we have is more
important.'' Further, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter stated at
the Air Force Association conference in September 2015: ``The
nuclear deterrent is a must-have, you really need to start
there. . . . [I]t is the foundation. It's the bedrock and it
needs to remain healthy and we all know that we need to make
additional investments.''
The conferees urge the President to continue to fund and
execute nuclear weapons modernization programs in a timely and
cost-effective manner.

Sense of Congress on the importance of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization Intelligence Fusion Center
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1251)
that would express the sense of Congress that the collocation
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Intelligence
Fusion Center with U.S. European Command's Joint Intelligence
Analysis Complex provides the optimal solution to intelligence
and operational requirements, fosters critical diplomatic
relationships, and is the most efficient configuration of the
intelligence enterprise.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Findings and sense of Congress
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1252) that
would make findings and express the sense of Congress on the
current security environment in Europe, Russia's aggressive and
destabilizing behavior, the European Deterrence Initiative, and
U.S. support for allies and partners in Europe.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that issues concerning the current
security environment in Europe, Russia's aggressive and
destabilizing behavior, the European Deterrence Initiative, and
U.S. support for allies and partners in Europe are addressed
elsewhere in this report.
Strategy to increase conventional precision strike weapon stockpiles in
the United States European Command's areas of responsibility
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1254) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a strategy to
increase conventional precision strike weapon stockpiles in the
United States European Command's area of responsibility.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The conferees note that conventional precision strike
weapon stockpiles in the United States European Command's area
of responsibility are addressed elsewhere in this report.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1255) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement
a strategy to counter the military capabilities of the Russian
Federation.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the military capabilities of the
Russian Federation are addressed elsewhere in this report.
Sense of Congress on enhancing maritime capabilities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1257) that
would express the sense of Congress on enhancing maritime
capabilities.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit
a report to the congressional defense committees not later than
April 1, 2018 on the options to extend the service lives of Los
Angeles-class submarines to mitigate the shortfall of fast
attack submarines, which reaches a nadir of 41 boats in fiscal
year 2029, despite a 2016 Navy Force Structure Assessment
requirement for 66 boats. For the 2020 to 2040 timeframe, this
report shall include the following: (1) threat environments in
which Los Angeles-class submarines are projected to remain
operationally relevant; (2) specific Los Angeles-class
submarines that could receive service life extensions; (3)
notional cost and schedule estimates for Los Angeles-class
submarine service life extensions; (4) public or private
shipyard availability to accomplish such service life
extensions; and (5) an assessment by the Secretary on the
merits of implementing such options.
Plan to reduce the risks of miscalculation and unintended consequences
that could precipitate a nuclear war
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1258) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan to the
congressional defense committees that includes options to
reduce the risk of miscalculation and unintended consequences
associated with Russian nuclear doctrine.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees remain concerned that the Russian
Federation has adopted a dangerous nuclear strategy that
includes the plan to escalate to de-escalate, which could lower
the threshold for Russian use of nuclear weapons in a regional
conflict. Such a strategy could exacerbate the risks of
miscalculation and unintended consequences that could
precipitate a full-scale nuclear war. Therefore, the conferees
direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Commander of the
United States Strategic Command, and the Commander of the
United States European Command, to submit to the congressional
defense committees not later than March 1, 2018, a plan that
includes options, including but not limited to military-to-
military dialogue, to reduce the risk of miscalculation and
unintended consequences that could inadvertently lead to a
nuclear war. More generally, the conferees believe that
military-to-military communication with adversaries can be a
valuable tool to prevent inadvertent escalation and
miscalculation during a crisis. The conferees encourage the
Secretary to use such dialogue, among other tools, to reduce
the risks of nuclear conflict with the Russian Federation, the
People's Republic of China, and the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea. The conferees note the section in title 12
of this Act that extends the prohibition on military-to-
military cooperation with the Russian Federation but do not
construe military-to-military discussions on reducing the risks
of miscalculations that could lead to a nuclear war as such
prohibited cooperation.
Definitions
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1259) that
would provide definitions for subtitle F of the House bill.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Expansion of military-to-military engagement with the Government of
Burma
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1262)
that would amend section 1253 of the Carl Levin and Howard P.
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to remove certain restrictions
on military-to-military engagement with Burma.
The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec.
6217) that would remove force and effect from section 1262.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees condemn the horrific acts of violence
being committed against the Rohingya ethnic minority in Burma,
and urge the Burmese military to take action immediately to
stop this humanitarian crisis.
Sense of Congress on the importance of the rule of law in the South
China Sea
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1266)
that would express the sense of Congress on the importance of
maintaining the rule of law in the South China Sea.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that:
(1) the South China Sea is a vitally important
waterway for global commerce and for regional security,
with almost 30 percent of the maritime trade of the
world transiting the South China Sea annually;
(2) the People's Republic of China is undermining
regional security and prosperity and challenging
international rules and norms by engaging in coercive
activities and attempting to limit lawful activities in
the South China Sea;
(3) a tribunal determined `that China had violated
the Philippines' sovereign rights in its exclusive
economic zone by (a) interfering with Philippine
fishing and petroleum exploration, (b) constructing
artificial islands and (c) failing to prevent Chinese
fishermen from fishing in the zone,' and that `Chinese
law enforcement vessels had unlawfully created a
serious risk of collision when they physically
obstructed Philippine vessels';
(4) the arbitral tribunal award of July 2016 stated
that there is `no legal basis for China to claim
historic rights to resources within the sea areas
falling within the nine-dash line'; and
(5) the United States should play a vital role in
ensuring freedom of navigation and overflight for all
countries by undertaking freedom of navigation
operations on a regular and consistent basis, as well
as maintaining persistent presence operations in the
South China Sea.
Sense of Congress on freedom of navigation operations in the South
China Sea
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1267) that
would express the sense of Congress that the United States
should regularly and routinely conduct freedom of navigation
operations in the South China Sea.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1265) that would declare that it is the policy of the United
States to fly, sail, and operate throughout the oceans, seas,
and airspace of the world wherever international law allows.
The recommended provision would also direct the Secretary of
Defense to implement the stated policy by planning and
executing routine and regular naval presence missions and
freedom of navigation operations throughout the world and
throughout the year.
The House recedes.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the United States has a national
interest in maintaining freedom of navigation, respect for
international law, and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South
China Sea; and that ensuring the free access to sea lanes to
promote global commerce remains a core security interest of the
United States. The conferees also note that the consistent
exercise of freedom of navigation operations and overflights by
United States naval and air forces throughout the world plays a
critical role in safeguarding the freedom of the seas,
supporting international law, and ensuring the continued safe
passage and promotion of global commerce and trade.
Sense of Congress on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1269) that
would provide the sense of Congress in support of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on the 50th
anniversary of its formation. It would recognize ASEAN efforts
to promote peace, stability and prosperity in the region,
including the steps taken to highlight the importance of
peaceful dispute resolution and the need for adherence to
international rules and standards. Finally, the section would
state that ASEAN and the ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting Plus
should continue to be forums to discuss shared challenges in
the maritime domain and for greater information sharing.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that:
(1) the United States supports the development of
regional institutions and bodies, including the ASEAN
Regional Forum, the ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting
Plus, the East Asia Summit, and the expanded ASEAN
Maritime Forum, to increase regional cooperation and
ensure that disputes are managed without intimidation,
coercion, or force;
(2) the United States recognizes ASEAN efforts to
promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the region,
including the steps taken to highlight the importance
of peaceful dispute resolution and the need for
adherence to international rules and standards.
(3) United States defense engagement with ASEAN and
the ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting Plus should
continue to be forums to discuss shared challenges and
the need for greater information sharing among ASEAN
nations; and
(4) the United States welcomes continued work with
ASEAN and other regional partners to establish more
reliable and routine crisis communication mechanisms.
Sense of Congress on reaffirming the importance of the United States-
Australia defense alliance
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270) that
would provide the sense of Congress on the strength of United
States-Australia relations. It recognizes that the United
States and the Commonwealth of Australia maintain a critical
strategic relationship underpinned by shared democratic values,
common interests, and close defense ties.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that:
(1) the United States values its alliance with
Australia, and the shared values and interests between

Title XVI--Strategic Programs, Cyber, and Intelligence Matters
Subtitle A--Space Activities
Space acquisition and management and oversight (sec. 1601)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1601) that
would authorize the creation of a Space Corps within the
Department of the Air Force and require the Secretary of the
Air Force to certify its establishment by January 1, 2019. The
Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1601) that would
require the Commander of Air Force Space Command serve a term
of at least 6 years.
The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec.
6605) that would prohibit the establishment of any military
department or corps separate from the current military
departments, including a Space Corps.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would establish
the term of office of the Commander of Air Force Space Command
at 6 years. The amendment would provide the Commander with the
authority to (1) organize, train, and equip personnel and
operations of the space forces of the Air Force; (2) serve as
the acquisition executive for defense space acquisitions; and
(3) procure commercial satellite communications for the
Department of Defense beginning 1 year after the date of
enactment of this Act. The conferees note that the Commander of
Air Force Space Command would be expected to work with the
Secretary of the Air Force regarding the use of existing basic
personnel functions, including health care and recruitment of
personnel.
The amendment would terminate the position and the office
of the Principal Department of Defense Space Advisor and would
transfer the duties, responsibilities, and personnel of such
office to a single official selected by the Deputy Secretary of
Defense. The amendment would terminate the Defense Space
Council and disestablish the Air Force Space Operations
Directorate (A-11). The amendment would also re-designate the
Operationally Responsive Space Office as the Space Rapid
Capabilities Office.
The conferees appreciate the Deputy Secretary's
engagement on the space mission and organization within the
Department and expect such engagement to continue particularly
during this transition. The conferees will hold the Deputy
Secretary accountable for ensuring that the reorganization of
space within the Department, funding for space capabilities,
and focus on the space mission continue as one of his
priorities. The conferees note in particular that the Deputy
Secretary will make the decision on which organization or
agency within the Department will be responsible for Major
Force Program 12 and expect the Deputy Secretary to continue
close consultations with the Armed Services Committees of the
Senate and the House of Representatives to keep them apprised
of progress on these issues and to seek their input.
The conferees note with disappointment the consistent
failure to ensure synchronization across space systems, ground
stations, and terminals. To address this problem, the conferees
recommend two improvements to the requirements and acquisition
processes for national security space programs. First, the
conferees note the importance of the Joint Requirements
Oversight Council in reviewing, assessing, adjudicating, and
advocating for joint space requirements across the national
security space enterprise. The conferees believe that
establishing a Functional Capability Board for space will help
to improve the advocacy for joint space requirements,
specifically with regard to synchronization of space systems,
ground stations, and terminals. Second, the conferees recommend
that United States Strategic Command be given the
responsibility and authority to approve any budget request for
service terminals prior to Milestone A approval. The conferees
expect the Deputy Secretary of Defense to issue a directive
implementing this change not later than March 1, 2018.
The conferees note that space has been designated as a
warfighting domain. Recognizing the joint nature of this new
domain, the conferees believe that United States Strategic
Command should develop a concept of operations (CONOPs) on how
to conduct warfighting in space. That CONOPs should be used to
guide the Services' space capabilities development and
acquisition programs. The conferees expect such CONOPs to be
provided to them not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act.

available for fiscal year 2018 for research, development, test,
and evaluation, Air Force, for the Evolved Expendable Launch
Vehicle (EELV) program for any use other than the activities
specified by this Act. This provision would not affect or
prohibit the Secretary from procuring launch services of EELV
launch systems.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the
obligation or expenditure of funds for carrying out the EELV
program to: (a) the development of a domestic rocket propulsion
system to replace non-allied space launch engines; (b) the
development of the necessary interfaces to, or the integration
of, such domestic rocket propulsion system with an existing or
planned launch vehicle; or (c) the development of capabilities
necessary to enable existing or planned commercially available
space launch vehicles or infrastructure that are primarily for
national security space missions to meet assured access to
space requirements. The amendment would terminate the authority
to develop a domestic rocket propulsion system and to develop
the necessary interfaces of a domestic rocket propulsion system
once the Secretary of the Air Force certifies to the
congressional defense committees that a successful full-scale
test of a domestic rocket engine has occurred.
Demonstration of backup and complementary positioning, navigation, and
timing capabilities of Global Positioning System (sec. 1606)

Defense to establish procedures for providing such notice in a
manner consistent with the national security of the United
States and the protection of operational integrity.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would
require the legal reviews of cyber capabilities intended for a
weapon to be submitted on a quarterly basis in aggregate form.
The conferees are aware that cyber capabilities are being
developed across the Department of Defense. The conferees
recognize that providing Congress with each individual legal
review of a cyber capability intended for use as a weapon could
become a burdensome requirement. The conferees believe that
receiving the legal reviews in aggregate form, on a quarterly
basis, with a summary of relevant and significant legal
determinations would be more conducive to conducting
congressional oversight and helpful in understanding how
rapidly evolving international law applies to the pace of cyber
operations.
The conferees continue to expect the Department to
promptly notify Congress when a significant cyber capability
has been approved for use as a weapon and made available to the
force. The conferees also expect the Cyber Quarterly Operations
briefing, required by section 484 of title 10, to include, but
not be limited to, an overview of cyber capabilities intended
for use as a weapon that have recently been made available to
the force and an overview of significant offensive, defensive,
and dual-use cyber capabilities recently made available to the
force.
Modification to quarterly cyber operations briefings (sec. 1632)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1652) that
would amend section 484 of title 10, United States Code,
related to quarterly cyber operations briefings, by including
all of the congressional defense committees in the requirement
as well as increasing the fidelity of the items to be included
in each quarterly briefing.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Policy of the United States on cyberspace, cybersecurity, and cyber
warfare (sec. 1633)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1621)
that would establish the policy of the United States with
respect to matters pertaining to cyberspace, cybersecurity, and
cyber warfare.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the President to develop a national policy for the United
States relating to cyberspace, cybersecurity, and cyber
warfare. The amendment would allow not more than 60 percent of
the funds made available for fiscal year 2018 for procurement,
research, development, test and evaluation, and operations and
maintenance for the White House Communications Agency and the
White House Situation Support Staff to be obligated or expended
until the President submits the policy to the appropriate
congressional committees.
The conferees note that over the past five years the
Congress has directed the executive branch to develop a
national policy and strategy for deterring our adversaries in
cyberspace. The National Defense Authorization Acts for Fiscal
Years 2014, 2016, and 2017 (Public Laws 113-66, 114-92, and
114-328), for example, each included requirements for policy
and strategy development that were not adequately addressed by
the executive branch.
The conferees agree that an appropriate cyber policy
should at a minimum assert that the United States should employ
all instruments of national power, including the use of
offensive cyber capabilities, to deter if possible and respond
when necessary to any and all cyber attacks or other malicious
cyber activities that target United States interests with the
intent to--
(1) cause casualties among United States persons or
persons of our allies;
(2) significantly disrupt the normal functioning of
United States democratic society or government
(including attacks against critical infrastructure that
could damage systems used to provide key services to
the public or government);
(3) threaten the command and control of the United
States Armed Forces, the freedom of maneuver of the
United States Armed Forces, or the industrial base or
other infrastructure on which the United States Armed
Forces rely to defend United States interests and
commitments; or
(4) achieve an effect, whether individually or in
aggregate, comparable to an armed attack or to an
operation that imperils a vital interest of the United
States.
The conferees believe strongly that the United States
government must be prepared and directed to respond forcefully
to cyber attacks and cyber-enabled information warfare attacks
on the Nation.
Prohibition on use of products and services developed or provided by
Kaspersky Lab (sec. 1634)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 11603)
that would prohibit any department, agency, organization, or
other element of the United States Government from using any
product developed by Kaspersky Lab or any entity of which
Kaspersky Lab has majority ownership.

operations, mandated by section 167b(a) of title 10, United
States Code. The recommended provision would: (1) Direct that
the elevation of United States Cyber Command to a unified
combatant command occur before the Cyber Mission Force reaches
full operational capability; (2) Clarify the functions of Cyber
Command to make them align with Department of Defense policy;
and (3) Refine the command and control responsibilities of the
Commander of Cyber Command.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that repeals
subsection (d) of section 167b of title 10, United States Code.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1657) that
would authorize a pilot program for the Secretary of Defense to
assess the effectiveness of carrying out a full-scale talent
management program to ensure that the cyber workforce of the
Department of Defense has the capacity, in both personnel and
skills, needed to effectively perform its cyber missions and
the kinetic missions impacted by cyber activities.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 842)
that would amend section 1705(h)(2)(A) of title 10, United
States Code, to include personnel who are engaged in the
acquisition of systems related to cybersecurity in the list of
personnel who may be trained under the Department of Defense
Acquisition Workforce Development Fund.
The House recedes.
Integration of strategic information operations and cyber-enabled
information operations (sec. 1637)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1042)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a
cross-functional task force to integrate across organizations
of the Department of Defense (DOD) responsible for information
operations, military deception, public affairs, electronic
warfare, and cyber operations to produce integrated strategy,
planning, and budgeting to counter, deter, and conduct
strategic information operations and cyber-enabled information
operations. The provision would also direct that the Secretary
require the commander of each combatant command to develop
specific plans to conduct information operations through
cyberspace that could threaten those things, entities,
resources, assets, and systems that the leaders of adversary
countries value most highly, with the goal of establishing an
effective deterrent to information operations and cyber-attacks
against the United States, its allies, and its interests.
Additionally, the provision would require the task force to
review the DOD Strategy for Operations in the Information
Environment, dated June 2016, and submit to the congressional
defense committees an implementation plan. Lastly, the
provision would establish a Defense Intelligence Officer for
Information Operations and Cyber Operations within the
Department of Defense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to establish processes and procedures
to integrate strategic information operations and cyber-enabled
information operations across the elements of the DOD
responsible for such operations, including the elements of the
Department responsible for military deception, public affairs,
electronic warfare, and cyber operations in order to ensure
that such processes and procedures provide for Department-wide
strategy, planning, and budgeting for such operations. The
amendment would also require the Secretary to designate a
senior DOD official to implement and oversee such processes and
procedures and other specified responsibilities. Additionally,
the amendment would require the commander of each combatant
command to develop, with appropriate coordination and
assistance, a regional information strategy and interagency
coordination plan for implementation. Lastly, the amendment
would require a review of the DOD Strategy for Operations in
the Information Environment, dated June 2016, and submit a
report on the implementation of such strategy to the
congressional defense committees.

execute continual red-teaming reviews of: (1) Offensive cyber
systems; (2) Long-range strike systems; (3) Nuclear deterrent
systems; (4) National security systems; and (5) Critical
infrastructure of the Department of Defense. The SCP would also
be responsible for assessing the cybersecurity adequacy of
acquisition plans for proposed systems and infrastructure in
order to ensure the effectiveness of these covered systems. The
provision would provide for this effort up to $100.0 million of
the funding authorized to be appropriated in fiscal year 2018
for the Information Systems Security Program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that calls
for a plan for how to carry out the activities described in
this provision.

would authorize the Secretary of Defense to use funds
authorized by sections 101 and 201 of this Act for deployment
of anti-air warfare capabilities at each Aegis Ashore site in
Romania and the Republic of Poland. This provision would
further require the Secretary to ensure that such capabilities
are deployed at the site in Romania by not later than 1 year
after the date of the enactment of this Act and at the site in
Poland by not later than 1 year after the declaration of
operational status of that site.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Development of persistent space-based sensor architecture (sec. 1683)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1689) that
would express the sense of Congress on the importance of a
space-based missile defense sensor layer and would require the
Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with
the Secretary of the Air Force and the heads of the appropriate
Defense Agencies and combat support agencies, to develop a
space-based sensor layer for ballistic missile defense that
provides precision tracking data of missiles beginning in the
boost phase and continuing throughout subsequent flight
regimes; serves other intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance requirements; and achieves an operational
prototype payload at the earliest practicable opportunity.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1652)
that would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency
to develop, using sound acquisition practices, a highly
reliable and cost-effective persistent space-based sensor
architecture capable of supporting the ballistic missile
defense system to provide functions such as: (1) control of
increased raid sizes; (2) precision tracking of threat
missiles; (3) fire-control-quality tracks of evolving threat
missiles; (4) enabling launch-on-remote and engage-on-remote
capabilities; (5) discrimination of warheads; (6) effective
kill assessment; (7) an enhanced shot doctrine; (8) integration

Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics jointly submit to the congressional defense
committees, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate a certification that such agreement is being implemented
as provided in the agreement and an assessment detailing any
risks relating to the implementation of such agreement. The
provision would also authorize $221.5 million and $287.3
million for fiscal year 2018 development, procurement, and
coproduction of the David's Sling Weapon System and the Arrow 3
Upper Tier missile defense system, respectively. The provision
would further specify the terms and conditions to be achieved
by the Director of the Missile Defense Agency and the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics
prior to the disbursement of the authorized funds for David's
Sling and Arrow 3. The provision would also require the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics
to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees,
the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate on the plans for improving the affordability of the
David's Sling Weapon system and the Arrow 3 Upper Tier
Interceptor Program not later than 30 days after such plans are
approved. Finally, this provision would limit the funds to be
authorized by this Act or otherwise made available during
fiscal year 2018 for the Missile Defense Agency for the testing
of the Arrow 3 Upper Tier Development Program in ranges located
in the United States and expenses related to such testing to
not more than $105.0 million.
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1651)
that would authorize not more than $92.0 million for the
Missile Defense Agency to provide to the Government of Israel
to procure Tamir interceptors for the Iron Dome short-range
rocket defense system through coproduction of such interceptors
in the United States. Before disbursing the funding for Iron
Dome to the Government of Israel, the Director of the Missile
Defense Agency and the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition and Sustainment must certify that the March 5,
2014, bilateral international agreement concerning Iron Dome,
as amended, is being implemented. The provision would also
authorize $120.0 million for the Missile Defense Agency to
provide to the Government of Israel for the procurement of the
David's Sling Weapon System and $120.0 million for the Arrow 3
Upper Tier Interceptor program, including for coproduction of
parts and components in the United States by U.S. industry,
after certain certifications. Finally, the provision would
prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds provided for
the procurement of the Arrow 3 Upper Tier Interceptor program
until 30 days after the successful completion of two flight
tests at a test range in the United States.
The Senate amendment contained a further provision (sec.
6606) that would remove the limitation in section 1651 on the
obligation or expenditure of funds authorized to be
appropriated for procurement of the Arrow 3 Upper Tier
Interceptor program.
The House recedes.
The conferees direct representatives from the David's
Sling Weapon System Joint Affordability Working Group to brief
the congressional defense committees no later than March 1,
2017 on the drivers of production costs, cost reduction
initiatives, and efforts to achieve co-production efficiencies
for the David's Sling program.
Boost phase ballistic missile defense (sec. 1685)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1694A) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that an
effective interim kinetic or directed energy boost phase
ballistic missile defense capability is available for initial
operational deployment not later than December 31, 2020. The
provision would further require the Secretary to submit to the
congressional defense committees a plan to achieve this
requirement, including budget requirements, a robust test
schedule, and a plan to develop enduring boost phase missile
defense capability.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express a
sense of Congress that, if consistent with the direction or
recommendations of the Ballistic Missile Defense Review, the
Secretary of Defense should rapidly develop and demonstrate a
boost phase intercept capability, as soon as practicable, for
missile defense.
The conferees note that the Missile Defense Agency has
completed an assessment of the cost, schedule and testing
profile for a boost phase intercept capability and encourage
the Missile Defense Agency to continue maturing the technology.
As the Missile Defense Agency continues to develop a persistent
space based sensor layer, it should, in parallel, coordinate
its efforts to develop the boost phase missile defense
capability in order to ensure a reasonable deployment date of
both systems.
Ground-based interceptor capability, capacity, and reliability (sec.
1686)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699F) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to increase the number
of U.S. ground-based interceptors (GBIs) by up to 28. The
provision would further require the Director of the Missile
Defense Agency to submit to the congressional defense
committees a report on infrastructure requirements and costs
associated with increasing the number of ground-based
interceptors at Missile Field 1 and Missile Field 2 at Fort
Greely to 20 ground-based interceptors each.
The House bill contained another provision (sec. 1699G)
that would express the sense of Congress that it is the policy
of the United States to maintain and improve an effective,
robust layered missile defense system. This provision would
further require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to
submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the
costs and benefits of increasing the capacity of the ground-
based midcourse defense element of the ballistic missile
defense system.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1653) that would also require the Secretary to identify a
ground-based interceptor stockpile storage site for up to 8
GBIs.
The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize
the Secretary of Defense to procure up to 28 ground-based
interceptors, if consistent with the direction or
recommendations of the Ballistic Missile Defense Review and
eliminates a number of reporting requirements, including on
transportable ground-based interceptors, planned improvements
to homeland ballistic missile defense sensor and discrimination
capabilities, and supplementing ground-based midcourse defense
elements with other, more distributed elements, as these
reports would be duplicative to reports that have already been
submitted to the congressional defense committees.
Limitation on availability of funds for ground-based midcourse defense
element of the ballistic missile defense system (sec. 1687)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1691) that
would limit the funds authorized by this Act for fiscal year
2018 for the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) System by
$50.0 million until the Secretary of Defense provides a written
certification that risk of mission failure of GMD-enhanced kill
vehicles due to foreign object debris has been minimized or, if
the certification cannot be made, a briefing on the corrective
measures that will be carried out to minimize such risk.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the certification to be submitted by the Missile Defense Agency
Director, rather than by the Secretary of Defense, and would
remove the requirement for a briefing from the Missile Defense
Agency. If the Missile Defense Agency Director cannot submit
the required certification, the Director shall provide a
briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the House of
Representatives and the Senate on the corrective measures that
will be carried out to minimize such risk, including a timeline
and cost for the implementation of these measures.
Plan for development of space-based ballistic missile intercept layer
(sec. 1688)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1690) that
would express the sense of Congress regarding the natural
advantages of space systems and their potential integration
into ballistic missile defense systems. The provision would
also require the Missile Defense Agency to develop a space-
based ballistic missile intercept layer, establish a space test
bed for space-based ballistic missile intercept, and submit a
plan for developing the space-based ballistic missile intercept
layer.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the development of a space-based ballistic missile intercept
layer if it is consistent with the direction or recommendations
of the Ballistic Missile Defense Review and extend the plan to
carry out the development of the space-based ballistic missile
intercept layer to a ten-year period.
Sense of Congress on the state of the missile defense of the United
States (sec. 1689)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699E) that
would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of
Defense should use the Ballistic Missile Defense Review (BMDR)
to consider accelerating the development of technologies that
will increase the capacity, capability, and reliability of the
ground-based midcourse defense element of the ballistic missile
defense system and that, upon completion of the BMDR, to the
extent practicable and with sound acquisition practices, the
Director of the Missile Defense Agency should accelerate the
development, testing, and fielding of such capabilities as they
are prioritized in the BMDR, to include the redesigned kill
vehicle, the multi-object kill vehicle, the C3 booster, a
space-based sensor layer, an airborne laser on unmanned aerial
vehicles, and a potential additional missile defense site.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1654) that also stated that it is essential for the Department
of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency to follow a ``fly
before you buy'' approach before final production decisions or
operational deployment.
The House recedes with a technical amendment.
Sense of Congress and report on ground-based midcourse defense testing
(sec. 1690)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699I) that
would express the sense of the Congress that the Missile
Defense Agency (MDA) should increase funding to homeland
missile defense testing and continue to flight test the ground-
based midcourse defense system at least once each fiscal year.
The provision would further require the Director of the Missile
Defense Agency to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees that includes a revised missile defense testing
campaign that accelerates the development and deployment of new
missile defense technologies. Per the provision, this revised
testing campaign should specifically review the acceleration of
the redesigned kill vehicle, the multi-object kill vehicle, the
configuration-3 booster, unmanned aerial vehicles that utilize
directed energy, and a space-based missile defense sensor
architecture.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1655).
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify
the provision to a sense of Congress and delay the reporting
requirement to be submitted 90 days after the Ballistic Missile
Defense Review is published.
Subtitle F--Other Matters
Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from
Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks and Similar Events (sec. 1691)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699B) that
would establish a new Commission to Assess the Threat to the
United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks and Events,
with 12 members appointed by the chairs and ranking members of
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with amendments that would clarify
that geomagnetic disturbances and other events that could cause
similar effects are within the scope of the commission, would
change the termination and report dates for the commission, and
would clarify the list of departments that must cooperate with
the commission and provide liaison officers.
The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to
consider, in its plans, requirements, doctrines, training, and
acquisitions, the threat posed by electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
attacks on the continental United States, on forward-deployed
U.S. military forces, and allied forces and territory. The
conferees further urge the Department to take appropriate and
timely action to protect U.S. military installations,
equipment, and personnel from EMP attacks.
Protection of certain facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft
(sec. 1692)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1695) that
would amend section 130i of title 10, United States Code, to
provide the authority to protect against threats posed by
nefarious or irresponsible use of unmanned aircraft systems
(UAS) against certain military ranges and test facilities.
The Senate amendment contained no such provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would augment
the Secretary of Defense's existing authority to use counter-
UAS (CUAS) technology to include additional critical mission
areas in light of emerging threats posed to Department of
Defense facilities and assets located within the United States
(including the territories and possessions of the United
States). The provision would require the Secretary of Defense
to: coordinate with the Secretary of Transportation and the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator to
implement CUAS authority because of the potential effects to
the national airspace system and civil aviation operations;
implement CUAS capabilities that ensure privacy protection in a
manner consistent with the Fourth Amendment to the United
States Constitution and applicable Federal law; submit to
Congress annual funding budget materials that describe the CUAS
enterprise; and, conduct briefings, with the Secretary of
Transportation, to the appropriate congressional committees on
activities undertaken pursuant to the CUAS authority.
Additionally, the provision would require Congress to review,
modernize and reauthorize CUAS authority as integration of UAS
technology and operation procedures are evolved into the
National Airspace System by limiting to a period of three years
the Department's exercise of CUAS authority for all newly added
mission areas, with the exception of the new mission area
included in the House provision.
The Department of Defense (DOD) made a request to the
Armed Services Committees of the House of Representatives and
the Senate on September, 27, 2017, to expand DOD's CUAS
authority for specific mission areas. DOD asked the conferees
to consider a U.S. Government, inter-agency coordinated,
legislative proposal that would expand the limited CUAS
authority that was provided to the Department last year in the
NDAA for Fiscal Year 2017 (P.L. 114-328). Despite the timing of
the proposal, the conferees assessed it was imperative to
consider the authority for expanded mission areas and
additional legal protections in the legislative proposal, given
the growing threat that nefarious and irresponsible use of UAS
capabilities and the potential harm they could inflict against
facilities and assets of the Department of Defense.
To coincide with Congress' close oversight of DOD's use
of CUAS authority, the conferees direct the Comptroller General
of the United States to provide a report to the Armed Services
Committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and the
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Technology, not
later than February 1, 2019. That report should assess DOD's
oversight and use of authority pertaining to CUAS governance
structure, budget and capabilities development, implementation
strategy, effectiveness and efficiency of coordination between
relevant U.S. Government departments and agencies, and what
actions the Secretary of Defense and the FAA Administrator are
taking to institutionalize collaboration and coordination
efforts among federal agencies to responsibly exercise CUAS
authority and ensuring the safety of civil aviation and the
national airspace system.
The conferees note that the provision included in this
Act would provide an exemption to section 46502 of title 49
United States Code, and any provision of title 18 United States
Code, for members of the armed forces, officers, and civilian
employees of DOD with assigned duties that include safety,
security or protection of personnel, facilities or assets, and
who may take actions to mitigate a UAS threat. The conferees
are uncertain as to whether or not these same exemptions to
United States Code should apply to certain employees of the FAA
who assist DOD in the exercise of CUAS authority. Therefore,
the conferees direct the Secretary of Transportation, in
consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to provide a report
to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Technology, and
the Committees on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives and the Senate, not later than March 1, 2018,
that would thoroughly assess the need for certain employees of
the FAA, who assist DOD in the exercise of CUAS authority, to
be afforded the same, or similar, CUAS authority and legal
protections as provided to DOD personnel. Additionally, if it
is determined that certain FAA employees should be afforded the
same, or similar, legal protections as DOD personnel, the
conferees expect submission from the appropriate Secretary to
Congress of a U.S. Government inter-agency coordinated
legislative proposal during a future budget request.
Finally, in the face of a growing threat to U.S.
Government facilities, and Department of Defense facilities in
particular, the conferees encourage the Department to inform
the appropriate congressional committees of specific and
validated requirements to protect its facilities, assets, and
personnel for the mission areas designated in this provision,
and for any emergent mission areas in the future. Accordingly,
the conferees expect the Department of Defense to coordinate
closely with the Secretary of Transportation and other
Executive Branch departments, as appropriate, through effective
and efficient interagency processes to ensure that the use of
CUAS authority comports with relevant regulations governing the
safe and efficient use of the National Airspace System,
protects constitutional civil liberties, and is judiciously and
responsibly employed for the highest-priority facilities and
assets of the Department of Defense.
Conventional prompt global strike weapons system (sec. 1693)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1692) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, coordination with the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to plan to reach early
operational capability for the conventional prompt strike
weapon system by not later than September 30, 2022. The
provision would also limit the obligation or expenditure of
funds for fiscal year 2018 for research, development, test, and
evaluation, Defense-wide, for this system to no more than 50
percent until the Chairman submits a report to the
congressional defense committees.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove
the limitation on funds, and instead require the same report
due 180 days from the date of enactment of this Act.
Business case analysis regarding ammonium perchlorate (sec. 1694)
The House bill contained two provisions that would
require reports concerning ammonium perchlorate. One provision
(sec. 1697) would require a report concerning the costs
associated with using a new supplier of ammonium perchlorate,
including requalification costs. The other provision (sec.
1698) would require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation to do a business case analysis regarding options for
maintaining a second domestic supply of ammonium perchlorate.
This provision would also prohibit the Department of Defense
from using funds to develop a new source for ammonium
perchlorate until after the report was completed.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine
both provisions into one and remove the limitation on the
Department of Defense funds to develop a new source for
ammonium perchlorate.
Report on industrial base for large solid rocket motors and related
technologies (sec. 1695)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, to develop a plan to ensure a robust domestic
industrial base for large solid rocket motors and critical
technologies, subsystems, components, and materials related to
such rocket motors.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, to submit a report by March 1, 2018. The report
shall include an assessment of options to sustain two domestic
suppliers of:
(1) large solid rocket motors;
(2) small liquid-fueled rocket engines;
(3) aeroshells for reentry vehicles or reentry
bodies;
(4) strategic radiation-hardened microelectronics;
and
(5) any other critical technologies, subsystems,
components, and materials within and relating to large
solid rocket motors that the Secretary determines
appropriate.
For the items listed above, the Secretary shall also
include views on sustaining two or more suppliers, risks within
the industrial base, estimated costs for sustaining multiple
suppliers, and opportunities to ensure competition.
Pilot program on enhancing information sharing for security of supply
chain (sec. 1696)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699A) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot
program by June 1, 2019, to enhance information sharing with
cleared defense contractors for the purpose of ensuring supply
chain security. This provision would also require the Secretary
to select 10 acquisition or sustainment programs to participate
in the pilot program and would further provide criteria that
the Secretary would be required to satisfy when selecting the
10 programs.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
Pilot program on electromagnetic spectrum mapping (sec. 1697)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699C) that
would establish a pilot program to assess the viability of

Strategic Command
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1602) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense to establish United
States Space Command as a subordinate unified command under
United States Strategic Command not later than January 1, 2019.
This provision would also require the commander of such command
to hold a four-star rank and be appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. The commander would exercise command
of joint space activities or missions, and the United States
Space Command would be jointly staffed.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Policy of the United States with respect to classification of space as
a combat domain
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605)
that would state that it is the policy of the United States to
develop, procure, field, and maintain an integrated system of
assets in response to the increasingly contested nature of the
space operating domain to: (1) ensure the resilience of
capabilities at every level of orbit in space; (2) deter or
deny an attack on capabilities at every level of orbit in
space; and (3) defend the territory of the United States, its
allies, and its deployed forces across all operating domains.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that space is a combat domain and that
the provision was not included only because it was duplicative
of previous policy already asserting such.
Conditional transfer of acquisition and funding authority of certain
weather missions to National Reconnaissance Office
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that
would require the Secretary of the Air Force and the Director
of the National Reconnaissance Office to execute the transfer
of certain weather missions from the Air Force to the National
Reconnaissance Office unless the Secretary and Director both
issued the waivers described in section 1614(c) of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Report on space-based nuclear detection
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1624) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of Energy, and the
Secretary of State to jointly submit to the congressional
defense and intelligence committees a report on space-based
nuclear detection.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide
a briefing with the appropriate representatives from the office
of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Department of
Energy, and the State Department to the congressional defense
and intelligence committees on space-based nuclear detection.
The briefing shall include a strategic plan, including with
respect to current and planned space platforms, to host the
relevant payloads. The briefing shall also include a discussion
on the current and planned national security requirements for
space-based nuclear detection including: which agencies own the
requirements; how current requirements compare to past
requirements; and how future funding for the space-based
nuclear detection program is being provided by each such
department or agency to meet each mission requirement.
Sense of Congress on new commercial satellite servicing activities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1625) that
would express the sense of Congress that government funding and
support is an important element in fostering the development of
a robust marketplace of new commercial satellite servicing
activities and that Federal Government should ensure that its
actions do not unduly or artificially distort competition in
the market for new commercial satellite servicing activities.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Prohibition on use of software platforms developed by Kaspersky Lab
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1630B)
that would prohibit any component of the Department of Defense
from using, whether directly or through work with or on behalf
of another element of the United States Government, from using
any software platform developed, in whole or in part, by
Kaspersky Lab or any entity of which Kaspersky Lab has a
majority ownership.
The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec.
11602) that would provide that section 1630B would have no
force or effect.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes. The conferees note that section 11603
of the Senate amendment, which would prohibit any department,
agency, organization, or other element of the United States
Government from using any product developed by Kaspersky Lab or
any entity of which Kaspersky Lab has majority ownership,
represented a broader substitute for section 1630B of the
Senate amendment.
Prohibition on availability of funds for certain relocation activities
for NATO intelligence fusion center
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1637) that
would prohibit the availability of funds for fiscal year 2018
for the procurement of fit-out supplies and equipment to
support the relocation of the NIFC from RAF Molesworth (United
Kingdom) to RAF Croughton (United Kingdom).
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Sense of Congress and report on geospatial commercial activities for
basic and applied research and development
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1639) that
would express the sense of Congress on geospatial commercial
activities for basic and applied research and development and
would require a report on authorities needed to establish
commercial activities for the purposes of research and
technology development.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees support pursuing innovative solutions to
the pressing challenge of automated exploitation of imagery to
address both the vast quantities of imagery collected by the
armed forces and the intelligence community and the speed
required to support military action against fleeting targets.
The conferees understand that many U.S. commercial technology
companies, which are not part of the Defense Department's
established industrial base, possess the needed talent and
technological capability in artificial intelligence and machine
learning. The conferees further understand that the key to the
development of effective machine learning algorithms is access
to large volumes of data on which to train.
The conferees recognize that the National Geospatial-
Intelligence Agency's (NGA) large holdings of imagery data are
therefore of immense value and grasp the logic behind NGA's
proposal to invest that data in partnership with leading edge
companies. However, while the conferees are supportive of NGA's
objectives of more effectively harnessing private industry
expertise, questions remain about many details of the proposal,
including the request to waive certain statutes, rules, and
regulations, as well as the lack of a plan for sharing of
classified or otherwise sensitive data.
The conferees encourage NGA to continue to work within
the Department of Defense to develop and submit a legislative
proposal to the House and Senate Armed Services in time for
consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2019. In the meantime, the conferees encourage NGA
to use all available authorities and opportunities to advance
artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities in
partnership with commercial industry to achieve automated
exploitation of its data, including by working with the Defense

operations, and test of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense
(GMD) system until 30 days after the report specified at the

Evaluation and evolution of terrestrial ground-based midcourse defense
sensors
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1699H) that
would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to
submit a report on the status of the integrated layers of
missile defense radars, including the Long Range Discrimination
Radar and Cobra Dane.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees are aware of the critical sensor coverage
that the Cobra Dane radar provides to the Ballistic Missile
Defense System in the tracking of threatening ballistic
missiles, as well as its role in space surveillance and
identification of space objects, but that it confronts growing
sustainment and obsolescence challenges. Additionally, the
conferees support the deployment of the Long Range
Discrimination Radar (LRDR) for improved persistent long-range
midcourse discrimination, precision tracking, and hit
assessment of threat ballistic missiles, but acknowledge that
the LRDR is not a one-for-one replacement for the Cobra Dane
radar. In addition, the conferees are concerned that, as the
Air Force's new space fence radar becomes operational in 2020,
the Air Force will not need the capabilities of the Cobra Dane
radar for space surveillance. The conferees remain concerned
about the lack of a comprehensive and credible plan for cost-
effective investments in technology refresh to maximize Cobra
Dane's reliability and minimize life cycle costs.
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Air
Force, in coordination with the Director of the Missile Defense
Agency and the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, to submit to
the congressional defense committees concurrently with the
fiscal year 2019 budget request, a report on the long-term
operation and sustainment of Cobra Dane. The report should
characterize Cobra Dane's current operational availability and
sustainment challenges and include a detailed comparison of the
capabilities of the LRDR and the Cobra Dane radar, to include
the unique capabilities of each radar, the common capabilities
of each radar, and the advantages and disadvantages of each
radar's location. It should also include a plan, with an
associated cost estimate and funding profile across the future
years defense program, for meeting the military's requirements
through alternative radar solutions or the continued operation
and maintenance of the Cobra Dane radar. Plans for sustainment
of the Cobra Dane radar should address obsolescence challenges
and expediting and smoothing investments in priority refresh
projects, such as transmitter group replacement, automated data
processing equipment rehost, and traveling wave tube redesign
in fiscal year 2019 and over the future years defense program.
Finally, the report should outline the costs, and how they will
be shared, to maintain operational access and sustainment of
Shemya Island, on which the radar resides. The conferees also
direct the Comptroller General of the United States to review
the plan described above and submit a report to the
congressional defense committees on such a review, including
findings and recommendations, not later than 90 days after the
release of the fiscal year 2019 budget request.

The Senate recedes.
Report on integration of modernization and sustainment of nuclear triad
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6607)
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for

the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Air Force,
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees on
the potential to achieve greater efficiency by integrating
elements of acquisition programs related to the modernization
and sustainment of the nuclear triad.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note that the Secretary of Defense has
called for ``horizontal integration across DoD components to
improve efficiency and take advantage of economies of scale.''
The conferees urge the Navy, the Air Force, the Missile Defense
Agency, and other components of the Department of Defense and
wider U.S. Government to work together to increase integration,
co-location, and commonality where appropriate between
acquisition programs to improve efficiency and effectiveness
for programs related to nuclear forces, large diameter missiles
and rockets, and other pertinent capabilities.

Amendments to HUBZone provisions of the Small Business Act (sec. 1701)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 899C)

It would create new performance metrics for the SBA HUBZone
program; it would also require the SBA to conduct biennial and
random program examinations, and if a firm loses certification
due to an examination, it would have 30 days to submit
documentation to the SBA reestablishing certification. It would
require the SBA to process HUBZone applications within 60 days
after submission; require firms to recertify every 3 years;
consolidate the HUBZone statutes from section 3 (definitions)
and section 31 (HUBZone program) into the HUBZone program
section. It would also establish a new time model for the
HUBZone program, recalculating in 5-year increments starting in
2020; requiring the establishment of a new HUBZone map that
will refresh every 5-years (starting in 2020). It would allow
State governors to petition the SBA to certify as a HUBZone in
an area that would otherwise not qualify; would require the SBA
to maintain a list of qualified firms online; update
appropriations language to 2020; and would ensure that Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) areas maintain their HUBZone
status for a certain number of years. Finally, this provision
would keep current qualified and redesignated firms eligible

Title XXII--Navy Military Construction
Summary
The budget request included $1.6 billion for military
construction and $411.9 million for family housing for the Navy
in fiscal year 2018.
The conference agreement includes authorization of
appropriations of $1.7 billion for military construction and
$411.9 million for family housing for the Navy in fiscal year
2018.
The agreement includes authorization for six projects
from the Navy's unfunded requirements list. These projects
include: $47.6 million for a F-35 Simulator Facility at
Miramar, California; $43.3 million for a Combat Vehicle
Warehouse at Albany, Georgia; $36.0 million for an Undersea
Rescue Command Operations Building at Coronado, California;
$26.5 million for Mokapu Gate Entry Control AT/FP Compliance at
Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii; and $23.7 million for a TBS Fire Station
Building 533 Replacement at Quantico, Virginia.
In addition, the agreement recommends reduction of
funding for a project contained in the budget request submitted
by the Department of the Navy for military construction and
family housing. This reduction is:
(1) $60.0 million for Washington Navy Yard
antiterrorism/force protection at the Washington Navy
Yard, District of Columbia. The budget request included
$60.0 million to enable protection of critical assets
from explosive threats, acoustic and electronic
surveillance and encroachment. The conferees believe
the Navy has not fully explored all alternatives to
address antiterrorism and force protection issues at
the Washington Navy Yard, and does not believe it is
cost-effective or appropriate for taxpayers to pay for
land acquisition to support the construction of a
privately funded museum. Therefore, the agreement
recommends no funds, a reduction of $60.0 million, for
this project.
In addition, the agreement recommends reduction of
funding for a project contained in the base budget request
submitted by the Department of the Navy for military
construction and family housing and recommends a transfer of
this projects to the Overseas Contingency Operations title of
this Act. This reduction is:
(1) $13.39 million for an Aircraft Parking Apron
Expansion at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti. The budget
request included $13.39 million to support transient
and steady-state aircraft parking requirements. The
conferees support this requirement. However, the
agreement recommends no funds in the base budget, a
reduction of $13.39 million, for this project in order
to transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas
Contingency Operations Military Construction.

Title XXIII--Air Force Military Construction
Summary
The budget request included $1.74 billion for military
construction and $403.4 million for family housing for the Air
Force in fiscal year 2018. The conference agreement includes
authorization of appropriations of $1.68 billion for military
construction and $395.4 million for family housing for the Air
Force in fiscal year 2018.
The agreement includes authorization for seven projects
from the Air Force's unfunded requirements list. These projects
include: $56.4 million for military construction planning and
design; $44.0 million for Dormitories (288 RM) at Eglin Air
Force Base, Florida; $20.0 million for a Dormitory (168 PN) at
Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas; $17.0 million for a fire
station at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida; $16.0 million for a
Fire Rescue Center at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma; $9.3
million for a Fire Station at Kirtland Air Force Base, New
Mexico; and $6.8 million for a Fire/Crash Rescue Station at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
The agreement also recommends reduction of funding for
projects contained in the budget request submitted by the
Department of the Air Force for military construction and
family housing. These reductions include:
(1) $154.0 million for the Presidential Aircraft
Recap Complex at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. This
budget request included $254.0 million to construct a
complex to support the beddown of the new aircraft for
the Presidential Airlift Group. The conferees support
the requirement for this project and provides the full
project authorization of $254.0 million included in the
budget request. However, the conferees support the
authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent
to the ability of the Department to execute in the year
of the authorization for appropriations. For this
project, the conferees believe that the Department of
Defense has exceeded its ability to fully expend the
funding in fiscal year 2018. Therefore, the agreement
recommends $100.0 million, a reduction of $154.0
million, and incremental funding for this project.
(2) $6.4 million for the KC-46A ALTER B181/185/187
Squad OPS/AMU at Travis Air Force Base, California.
While the conferees support the requirement for this
project, the conferees believe the project is early-to-
need based on the arrival of the first KC-46A at Travis
in approximately fiscal year 2022. Therefore, the
agreement recommends no funding, a reduction of $6.4
million, for this project.
(3) $1.4 million for the KC-46A ADAL B14 Fuel Cell
Hangar at Travis Air Force Base, California. While the
conferees support the requirement for this project, the
conferees believe the project is early-to-need based on
the arrival of the first KC-46A at Travis in
approximately fiscal year 2022. In addition, the
conferees note that this project can be addressed using
the unspecified minor construction authorities provided
in section 2805 of title 10, United States Code.
Therefore, the agreement recommends no funding, a
reduction of $1.4 million, for this project.
Finally, the agreement recommends reduction of funding
for several projects contained in the base budget request
submitted by the Department of the Air Force for military
construction and family housing and recommends a transfer of
these projects to the Overseas Contingency Operations title of
this Act. These reductions include:
(1) $27.325 million for a Guardian Angel Operations
Facility at Aviano Air Base, Italy. The budget request
included $27.325 million to support the relocation of
search and rescue operations to Aviano Air Base, Italy.
The conferees support this requirement. However, the
agreement recommends no funds in the base budget, a
reduction of $27.325 million, for this project in order
to transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas
Contingency Operations Military Construction.
(2) $25.977 million for a 216 Person Dormitory at
Incirlik Air Base, Turkey. The budget request included
$25.977 million to construct a dormitory to support
security forces and required response times. The
conferees support this requirement. However, the
agreement recommends no funds in the base budget, a
reduction of $25.977 million, for this project in order
to transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas
Contingency Operations Military Construction.
(3) $15.0 million for a Consolidated Squadron
Operations Facility at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. The
budget request included $15.0 million to support the
consolidation of administration and management
functions from separated temporary facilities into a
consolidated permanent facility that is properly sized
and configured. The conferees support this requirement.
However, the agreement recommends no funds in the base
budget, a reduction of $15.0 million, for this project
in order to transfer this project to Title XXIX,
Overseas Contingency Operations Military Construction.

Title XXIV--Defense Agencies Military Construction
Summary
The budget request included $3.12 billion for military
construction and $62.5 million for family housing for defense
agencies in fiscal year 2018.
The conference agreement includes authorization of
appropriations of $2.94 billion for military construction and
$62.5 million for family housing for defense agencies in fiscal
year 2018.
The agreement recommends an increase of funding for a
program contained in the budget request submitted by the
Department of Defense for military construction and family
housing. This increase includes:
(1) $15.0 million for the Energy Resiliency and
Conservation Investment Program. The budget request
included $150.0 million for the Energy Resiliency and
Conservation Investment Program. The conferees support
investments that reduce mission risk by increasing
energy resiliency at military installation. Therefore,
the agreement recommends $165.0 million, an increase of
$15.0 million, for this program in fiscal year 2018.
(2) $200.0 million for Missile Field #4 at Fort
Greely, Alaska. A budget amendment submitted by the
Department of Defense included a request to support
construction of 20 additional silos at Fort Greely.
Therefore, the agreement recommends $200.0 million, an
increase of $200.0 million, for this project in fiscal
year 2018.
The agreement also recommends reduction of funding for
projects contained in the budget request submitted by the
Department of Defense for military construction and family
housing. These reductions include:
(1) $206.0 million for Next NGA West (N2W) Complex
at St. Louis, Missouri. The budget request included
$381.0 million to construct the first phase of a new
complex for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
as it relocates to a new location in St. Louis,
Missouri. The conferees support providing an
authorization of appropriations for fiscal year 2018
only in an amount equivalent to the ability of the
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to execute in
the year of the authorization of appropriations.
Therefore, the agreement recommends $175.0 million, a
reduction of $206.0 million, and incremental funding
for this project in fiscal year 2018.
(2) $150.0 million for the Hospital Replacement at
Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The budget request
includes $250.0 million to construct the first phase of
a replacement hospital at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.
The conferees are aware that a $135.0 million second
phase is also required to support the medical
requirements at Fort Leonard Wood. The conferees
believe it is more appropriate to authorize the full
scope of a military construction requirement and
provide incremental funding as opposed to bifurcating a
construction project into separate phases. Therefore,
the agreement recommends combining the two phases into
a single project and provides a total authorization of
$381.3 million for the Hospital Replacement at Fort
Leonard Wood, Missouri. However, the conferees support
providing an authorization of appropriations for fiscal
year 2018 only in an amount equivalent to the ability
of the Defense Health Agency to execute in the year of
the authorization of appropriations. Therefore, the
agreement recommends $100.0 million, a reduction of
$150.0 million, and incremental funding for this
project in fiscal year 2018.
(3) $10.0 million for Contingency Construction at
Unspecified Worldwide Locations. The budget request
included $10.0 million to support contingency
construction requirements not previously authorized by
law. The conferees note that the Department of Defense
has not requested a military construction project using
funds from this account since 2008. In addition, the
conferees note that unobligated balances remain
available in the military construction account and
other authorities exist to construct projects that are
in keeping with a national security interest. As such,
the agreement recommends no funds, a reduction of $10.0
million, for this program.
Finally, the agreement recommends reduction of funding
for several projects contained in the base budget request
submitted by the Department of Defense for military
construction and family housing and recommends a transfer of
these projects to the Overseas Contingency Operations title of
this Act. These reductions include:
(1) $22.4 million to Construct Hydrant System at
Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy. The budget request
included $22.4 million to replace an aging and
inadequate jet fuel hydrant system and piping loop
needed to support U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty
Organization aircraft. The conferees support this
requirement. However, the agreement recommends no funds
in the base budget, a reduction of $22.4 million, for
this project in order to transfer this project to Title
XXIX, Overseas Contingency Operations Military
Construction.

used by U.S. contractors on Kwajalein, that are a fraction of
the price and can be used in similar remote locations where
construction costs are prohibitively expensive.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of the Army to authorize the construction of at
least 26 family housing units that would be available only for
military personnel, federal employees, and their dependents.
Additionally, if the cost of the project exceeds the authorized
amount, the amendment would require the Secretary of the Army
to submit a not delegable report to the congressional defense
committees detailing the reasons for the cost overrun and
specific actions taken to prevent further cost increases on the
project. The amendment also would require the Secretary of the
Army to submit a report to the congressional defense committees
on options to meet requirements for contractor housing at
Kwajalein Atoll without relying on military construction funds,
no later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this

jurisdiction of the Department of Defense in the foreign
country.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
The conferees note that the disposal of overseas real
property is addressed in bilateral agreements with the host
nation. The conferees also note that the Department of Defense
has existing statutory authorities, policies, and instructions
in place that ensure overseas sites and facilities that are
used, operated, and maintained by the Department of Defense are
considered for return to the host nation when they are no

in the Western Pacific and recognize the Navy has an enduring
requirement for the Naval Ship Repair Facility property. This
requirement includes support for future Navy and Military
Sealift Command ship repair as well as use of the real property
to support other Navy missions. However, the conferees are
concerned about the current condition of the infrastructure at
the Naval Ship Repair Facility property to support ship repair
requirements. The conferees believe that as long as the ship
repair facilities remain under the jurisdiction of the
Secretary of the Navy, the Navy should plan and program
resources to invest in the modernization and sustainment of the
facilities and infrastructure. In addition, the Secretary of
the Navy should ensure that masterplans for the Naval Ship
Repair Facility property do not encroach on the ability to
provide depot-level ship repair capabilities at the property,
to include the potential mooring of a floating dry dock, should
that be determined a requirement in the future.

process regarding the resource management plans and military
use of such lands.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Temporary segregation from public land laws of property subject to
proposed military land withdrawal; temporary use permits and
transfers of small parcels of land between Departments of
Interior and military departments; more efficient surveying of
lands

would amend chapter 6 of title 43, United States Code, to allow
the Secretary of the Interior to grant permission to the
Secretary of Defense to conduct military training or testing on
land under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior
for up to 30 days, provided such use would be consistent with
the purposes for which the Secretary of the Interior manages
the land. In addition, this provision would authorize the
transfer of parcels of land smaller than 5,000 acres between
the Department of Defense and the Department of the Interior.
Finally, this provision would permit the use of geographic
coordinates for conducting original surveys of land instead of
using physical monuments.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
